Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 50 Conscience
For a whole afternoon, Duan Yun was teaching Cao Dong how to assemble Yagi antennas.

Cao Dong learned very hard and was quite diligent, which made Duan Yun very satisfied.

In Duan Yun's view, a useful assistant must either be smart enough to be able to speak well, or be diligent and have a good eye for work, otherwise, he will not be able to stay by his side for a long time.

Cao Dong is obviously not stupid. Duan Yun just demonstrated it once, and he has basically mastered the key points of making an antenna bracket. When the third one is assembled, it is no different from the antenna that Duan Yun made by himself.

In fact, the difficulty of this kind of antenna bracket is not high, the focus is on some subtle dimensional spacing values. As a precaution, although Duan Yun told him the various dimensions of the antenna bracket, he did not talk about it in depth. the mystery.

In one afternoon, Cao Dong made six antenna racks, and Duan Yun was very satisfied with the workmanship quality.

In the evening, Duan Yun went to Li Yun's house again after being informed by his sister.

After Li Yun's mother received the benefit fee from Duan Yun last time, she worked harder to promote his antenna. In addition, her two female colleagues who had also installed new antennas were full of praise and boasted, so she arrived. When I went to work in the afternoon, two more families approached Li Yun's mother and wanted to install an antenna.

Now Duan Yun is considered to be acquainted with Li Yun's family. After entering the room and chatting for a while, after getting 120 yuan, Duan Yun led Cao Dong to start the installation.

This is a good opportunity to teach Cao Dong to install the antenna independently.

In fact, this kind of work is also not difficult, just choose a place with the best signal outside the user's window, and then simply use an electric drill to drill holes on the wall to install angle iron brackets.

When it was installed at the first home, Duan Yun demonstrated it, and when it was at the second home, Cao Dong volunteered and completed the installation independently.

However, when installing the antenna for the second family, there was a little interlude.

The window of this family is right at the corner of the house, and after the antenna sticks out of the window, the signal is always poor.

In such a situation, the usual practice is to only mount the antenna on the roof, but because the iron door at the entrance to the roof was locked, the person holding the key did not return from the second shift. In desperation, Duan Yun plans to come back tomorrow. Install.

At this moment, Cao Dong suddenly tied the antenna behind him, and then went up to the roof along the gutter next to the window!
This scene really made Duan Yun's heart jump, but fortunately, Cao Dong finally installed the antenna on the roof without any risk. After the debugging was successful, he stuck his fist on the drainage groove and climbed from the roof like a monkey. come down!

They were busy until more than eight o'clock in the evening, and the two finished their work and left the user's home.

Duan Yun is still quite satisfied today. After a day, Cao Dong has basically learned the technique of installing the antenna. From now on, he can install it alone when Duan Yun goes to work or sleeps.

"Brother, I'm so happy today!" Cao Dong said to Duan Yun with a look of excitement.

"What are you excited about? When you are tired and sweaty, this is called happiness?" Duan Yun turned around and said to Cao Dong.

"Anyway, I'm just happy!" Cao Dong raised his head and said.

"Are you happy?" Duan Yun snorted, and then said, "I was almost scared to death by you just now! You didn't say hello, just climbed up on the roof alone, in case something happened to fall off. , it's too late for you to regret in this life!"

Duan Yun was really annoyed by Cao Dong's behavior of climbing the roof just now, but due to the presence of the user at the time, he kept praising the two of them for their quick work, so Duan Yun did not reprimand Cao Dong at that time.

But Duan Yun knew that if Cao Dong acted recklessly regardless of safety in the future, once something happened, he would probably regret it for the rest of his life!
"Brother, it's really okay." Hearing Duan Yun's reprimand, Cao Dong's face flashed disapproval, but he continued: "Brother, when I was a child, I climbed over that house to dig out the bird's nest, and I went to the factory to steal it last year. When the iron is iron, the three-meter-high fence can go up in one run, it's just a piece of cake..."

"Shut up for me!" Duan Yun's face became even more angry when he heard that, but he said loudly with a straight face: "I'll tell you the scandal now, you can climb the room, but you must have safety measures. I'll buy you a safety rope when you go back to the room, and you must fasten it when you go to the room. If this kind of unarmed climbing happens again, get out of here as soon as possible, I don't want you here!"

Duan Yun's words were a bit ruthless, but he also knew that although Cao Dong was very smart and diligent, he was still too young and had a 'tiger' in his bones.

If Duan Yun let him pass today's incident lightly, it is very likely that something will happen in the future. After all, that kind of old house is not strong. Once Cao Dong is empty or the bricks on the edge of the roof are broken, the consequences will be unimaginable.

In Duan Yun's view, work and business must be stable, and only in this way will the ship not capsize in the gutter.

"Brother, don't be angry, I was wrong." Seeing the anger on Duan Yun's face, Cao Dong suddenly panicked and said quickly: "This will not happen in the future, I promise!"

"Yeah." Seeing Cao Dong admit his mistake, Duan Yun's expression softened a little. After a while, he turned to Cao Dong and asked, "Are you hungry?"

"It's okay..." Cao Dong licked his lips.

"This restaurant is also closed. I still have some leftovers in my house. If you don't mind, come to my house to eat." Duan Yun said to Cao Dong with a smile.

"Brother, I think we can make do with it this evening. I still have a stomachache after the lunch at noon, and my stomach was churning for a long time when I was working just now..." Cao Dong pouted and said.

"Hahaha, that's right! The virtue of eating at noon is like starving to death! It terrified the waiters." Duan Yun laughed, and then said, "Either way, I'll buy you a few more pancakes. ?"

"It's better for me to buy it. Why do I have to invite my brother to eat." Cao Dong said repeatedly.

"Aren't you afraid that the old man would recognize you yesterday?" Duan Yun pointed to a few hawkers in the distance who were pushing carts and selling cakes.

"I admit that I was beaten. I was wrong yesterday. I was really starving..." Cao Dong said, took out the five yuan that Duan Yun had paid him in advance at noon, and said, "Brother, When I meet you, I have met a noble person, and I don’t say thank you, but I have to invite you for dinner today, at least you will make me feel more comfortable, right?”

"Hehe, then please." Duan Yun said with a smile.

Duan Yun could see that what Cao Dong said was quite sincere. Several years of poverty had not turned him into a wicked and ungrateful person. At least he was a good person. Duan Yun had some doubts about him before. Immediately vanished...
