Liu Yufan's father is Liu Jianjun, a teacher at Shuangshanzi Middle School. Because he teaches physics, he knows some simple electrical maintenance knowledge. In addition, he likes to study electrical appliances, so he is considered half an electrician in Dazhai Village. If someone's electrical appliances have problems in the village, he usually likes to ask him to repair them. When he buys new electrical appliances, he is often used to asking him to go to the village. From this perspective, Liu Jianjun is considered a "capable person" in the village. Liu Yufan estimated that if his father opened an electrical appliance repair shop or sold small appliances, he would make almost no less money than he earned at work. However, his father was too obsessed. He was a volunteer worker to repair electrical appliances for anyone. He never collected a penny and never took other people's things. So over the years, except for having a good popularity, this craft did not bring him any benefits.

Liu Yufan came out of his home and went straight to his fourth uncle's house. Liu Yufan's fourth uncle is Liu Jiancheng, and he is not a brother and his father, but a cousin. The fourth uncle knows some technical skills in construction and works with the construction team all year round. Although it is harder to work in the year, it is quite profitable. In 1994, the TV was still a rare thing, and there were not many people who could afford it. Anyone with a TV was a symbol of a good family background. If Liu Yufan's family had not relied on his father's salary, and his mother was frugal in the family, and had saved some hard money, he could not afford the TV. Unexpectedly, the fourth uncle also bought it. Liu Yufan didn't care about these things in his previous life, and he didn't know when they bought it.

Liu Yufan left the gate, and several children on the street were playing familiar games. The boys were playing a game called "fried tiles", while the girls were jumping rubber bands. The boys were holding red and green "electric whips" in their hands, carefully putting them one by one, reluctant to put them all in one go. Everything made Liu Yufan feel so friendly, but he didn't see a few friends he was good to.

The fourth uncle's house is not far from Liu Yufan's house, only four or five households, on the east side. Liu Yufan soon came outside his door. The iron-clad door was not closed. Liu Yufan pushed the door open and walked in. As soon as he entered the door, he heard the barking of the dog. A big yellow dog was tied to the pillar of the cowshed and was clamoring at Liu Yufan. Liu Yufan was naturally not afraid of it, and even acted to kick it at it. The yellow dog barked even more happily.

The door of the house was quickly opened, and Liu Yufan's fourth aunt walked out from inside. She was wearing a dark green cotton jacket and her messy hair was tied behind her head. When she saw Liu Yufan, she showed a passionate smile on her face.

"Xiaofan, I heard your father say you caught a cold after slapping fish. How are you doing? Are you getting better? Come and get into the house quickly." Aunt Si's voice was loud, and she pulled Liu Yufan into the house as she spoke.

"It's okay, Aunt Fourth, I just have a cold, I'll be cured after taking the medicine. How many days has my fourth uncle been back? When will I leave?" Liu Yufan asked with a smile.

"Oh, the relationship is good. Your fourth uncle came back the day before yesterday and said he would leave after the fifteenth day. There was no work on the construction site during the Chinese New Year." Aunt Fourth was chatting with Liu Yufan, while she was a little surprised at the nephew's performance today. Liu Yufan was usually a little bored and didn't like to talk much. Today, she actually talked with her a few words. She spoke so naturally. This child is really sensible.

As soon as he entered Aunt Si’s house, Liu Yufan heard a fragrance similar to his own. The procedures for the New Year in Dazhai Village are similar. Aunt Si’s house is also cooking meat and fried vegetables today.

"Auntie Four, it smells so good. The dishes are all fried?" Liu Yufan asked with a smile, sniffing.

"It's almost done. Come and try how Aunt Si fry it. Is it delicious with your mother?" Aunt Si was very happy when she saw Liu Yufan praising the delicious food she fried. She found a bowl for Liu Yufan to pick up a full bowl.

"No need for Aunt Si. I've eaten at home, don't be busy." Liu Yufan was a little uncomfortable with Aunt Si's enthusiasm.

"You kid, why are you polite when I get to Aunt Si? Eat it and just fried it out." Aunt Si smiled while stuffing the bowl into Liu Yufan's hand.

The elder was reluctant to give it, and Liu Yufan didn't hesitate anymore. He took the bowl and picked up a ball and threw it into his mouth. It was fragrant and must have been put on the meat. It seemed that this fourth aunt was more generous than her mother.

"It's delicious!" Liu Yufan praised, then asked, "Auntie, where is my dad?"

"Haha, let's have a meal with your dad. In that room, tell your mom and dad won't go back, so eat here. You can eat at Aunt Si's house, too." Aunt Si said with a smile, then pointed at the east room.

"How can you be so embarrassed, haha." Liu Yufan said with a smile, then put the bowl on the stove, lifted the curtain and walked in.

As soon as he entered the house, Liu Yufan was first choked by a bad smell of tobacco. His body had not been invaded by tobacco in this life, and he was very sensitive to tobacco. Liu Yufan coughed a few times before gradually adapting. Looking around, there were more than a dozen people in the small house, including adults and children. His father was fiddling with a brand new black and white TV in the middle, and the screen was covered with snowflakes.

"Oh, the sky is here, hurry up and see how your dad did it and learn it with you." Uncle Fourth saw Liu Yufan, patted his shoulder and said. Then, several other adults in the room also saw Liu Yufan and talked to him.

"Xiaofan, are you here to have dinner with your dad?" The second uncle Ma Hua spit out a mouthful of drought tobacco that he was curling and showed a mouthful of yellow teeth at Liu Yufan.

"Yes, Second Uncle, you didn't play chess today." Liu Yufan asked with a smile. This Second Uncle is a chess fan. He will be itchy when he doesn't touch chess for a day. He is also the chess king in Dazhai Village. He has a very good chess skills and few people in the village can play him.

"Isn't it that your dad is pretending to be TV? I'll watch the news broadcast later." The second uncle said with a smile, very satisfied with the cleverness and politeness shown by Liu Yufan.

Liu Yufan's father Liu Jianjun heard his son's voice, turned around and looked at him, and asked casually: "How about you having a cold better?"

"Okay, there's nothing left, it's not done yet." Liu Yufan asked, looking at the snowflakes on the screen.

"It's almost done." Liu Jianjun's father said, while continuing to lower his head to fiddle with the antenna.

At this time, Liu Yufan saw two guys sitting on the kang playing "driven the cart" with playing cards. When the two guys saw Liu Yufan, they immediately came up.

"Xiaofan, you're fine." The person who spoke was a small man with thin eyebrows and eyes, with a thin and dense curly curl, which was very likable, but he was thin and small, and looked a little malnourished. He was wearing similar to Liu Yufan, and he was also wearing a green street stall military uniform, but it was even more torn than Liu Yufan's. After washing a lot of water, he turned a little white. There was a small patch on his left knee. This guy was named Wang Xiaoyong, and he was the child of the second aunt next to Liu Yufan.

Wang Xiaoyong and Liu Yufan have a good relationship and always play together. This kid is very skillful in his hand, he makes a very good slingshot, and can also make foreign muskets. Liu Yufan has a foreign musket he gave, which also makes other friends jealous. In this era of material poverty, foreign muskets are the most luxurious toys for children.

"It's okay, you kid didn't catch a cold, I remember your shoes were wet too." Liu Yufan asked with a smile. He remembered that it was this kid's idea to go fishing in the river. Of course, Lu Jian, who was standing behind him, also had his share.

"Hehe, it's okay. Jiantou and I are playing driving a big car. You are here. Let's play 50k." Wang Xiaoyong said excitedly when Liu Yufan knew that he liked playing 50k the most.

"I won't play anymore, I'll have dinner later." Liu Yufan said, and looked at Liu Jian who was standing behind Wang Xiaoyong in a daze. This guy is tall and strong, wearing a black hand-sewn coarse cloth clothes, and his head looks like a melon. When he saw Liu Yufan come in, he greeted him blankly, as if he was in the crayon Shin-china. Fortunately, Liu Yufan knew that Liu Jian had always been like this, so he didn't care, but felt very friendly.

"Son of the world, let me show you something good!" Wang Xiaoyong said mysteriously, then reached out and took out something from behind his waist.

"Wow! Xiaoyong, when did you do it? Let me see!" Seeing the wooden musket in Wang Xiaoyong's hand, Liu Jian's eyes were straightened and he quickly reached out, but Wang Xiaoyong raised his hand and avoided it.

"Don't mess it up for me." Wang Xiaoyong said carefully, then handed it to Liu Yufan with confidence, and said proudly: "It's not bad, I did it for a week."

Liu Yufan took Wang Xiaoyong's "baby" with some amusement. The wooden stock was chosen for a fork of the poplar tree. The bark outside had been peeled clean, revealing the white wood part. The striker made of thick iron wire was ground very straight. The "gun barrel" made of several thick motorcycle chains seemed very majestic. Usually, the "gun barrel" of foreign muskets was made of bicycle chains. The chain of motorcycles was difficult to find, and I don't know where he found it. Three rubber bands made of bicycles were pulled tightly with the gun barrel and the striker. If ordinary foreign muskets were children's luxury goods, then this enhanced foreign musket that was obviously "magical" could be called a "magic weapon".

This foreign musket also evoked many childhood memories of Liu Yufan. He was so childish that he brought two guys outside the house and fired several shots in a row. Smelling the faint smell of sulfur, Liu Yufan's eyes were a little wet. A precious childhood, only when he lost it can he know how to cherish it.

After playing for a while, Liu Yufan is not a child's mood after all, and soon thought of his "main business". When he entered the house, he saw his father still fiddling with him, but there was still snowflakes on the TV. He felt a little strange, why hasn't he been getting better for such a long time? With his father's level, he is not as good as he does.

"Dad, it's not going well yet." Liu Yufan asked, looking at his dad who was fiddling with the antenna.

"It's almost done, strange, why is this TV not fine-tuning?" My dad murmured to himself.

Looking at my father's frowning and thinking hard, and then looked at the TV, Liu Yufan was happy, stepped forward and squeezed away the crowd, and said to my father: "Dad, let me do it."
