It was late at night, and the moonlight poured into the room through the window, making everything exceptionally peaceful. Yi Jiale lay on the bed, feeling the cool breeze brushing across her cheeks. Tonight, her small bed was moved back to its original position, facing her parents' big bed. On one side were her parents, and on the other was herself. This layout made her feel at ease and comfortable.

With the arrival of summer, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and fans have become their indispensable companions at night. When the fan is turned on, the soft wind blows on their bodies, bringing a hint of coolness. In this hot summer night, the blowing of the fan seems to be a kind of comfort, allowing people to fall asleep faster.

Yi Jiale closed his eyes, listened to the sound of the fan turning, his thoughts gradually sank into the system space, and he studied hard.

Tonight, everyone who has a fan is enjoying the coolness brought by the fan. No longer need to wake up in the middle of the night and get up to wipe the body with cold water.

…………

The next day, Yi Jiale took a day off and was not busy assembling the bicycle.

I just started repairing my bike today.

There are two parts and frames in total, one is a Forever brand bicycle for adults, and the other is a children's bicycle of an unknown brand. This children's bicycle is smaller than the adult bicycle, about 16 inches, and is a smaller version of the 1939-inch bicycle. (I wrote this based on the British Lanling children's bicycle. This bicycle was ridden by a little girl in China in . If you have pictures, don't say it doesn't exist! I can't put pictures here, otherwise I will show you some. Forever, Fei Ge, Wu Yang, and Fei Yu are all imitations of Lanling.)

Yi Jiale had been to department stores with his parents many times, but had never seen a children's bicycle. Unexpectedly, he saw one at a scrap yard. Yi Jiale couldn't wait to buy it.

As long as you can fix it yourself after buying it, then you can ride it yourself.

In the morning, Yi Jiale took a piece of paper and wrote down the parts he needed. Then he took his pocket money and called Huo Sheng and Lin Xiong to go to the alley with him to check out the shop that specialized in repairing bicycles.

That shop specializes in selling tires, bicycle parts, and helping people repair bicycles. (In the TV series, Yi Zhonghai bought tires from this shop and returned them to the third uncle.)

In this era, some bicycle factories also sell or wholesale bicycle parts.

After finishing breakfast, Yi Jiale and the other two told the adults about it. With the adults' consent, the three of them set off with their small bags on their backs.

After walking for a while, I finally arrived in front of the shop. There was a man squatting there repairing a bicycle.

Yi Jiale walked up to him politely and greeted him: "Hello uncle, I'm here to buy bicycle accessories. Excuse me, do you have these here?" After saying that, Yi Jiale handed the list to the uncle.

The bicycle man wiped his hands on his apron, then picked up the paper to examine it carefully. "Most of them are available, except for the small bicycle wheels and tires. If you want, I can report to the bicycle factory and see if they have them. If they do, I'll ask the factory to bring them over."

Yi Jiale nodded: "Master, can you first calculate how much money I have?"

The man on the bicycle took the paper and calculated it for a while before saying, "Tires and brakes are more expensive, but everything else is cheap, so the total is 18 yuan."

Yi Jiale paid the money readily, and then the bicycle uncle began to pack the parts, tying together the parts that could be tied together, including the chain. Yi Jiale didn't take the lubricant because he had it at home.

The bicycle man smiled and said, "Little boy, do you want to bring your bicycle over to be repaired? My price is quite fair."

Yi Jiale smiled and refused: "No, uncle, I just want to learn how to do it myself. By the way, uncle, if there is a small wheel you mentioned, how much does it cost?"

The uncle thought for a moment and said, "If you add up the front and rear wheels, I estimate it's about fifty or sixty."

Then, the uncle smiled and said, "How can you repair a bicycle when you are so young? Did your parents ask you to buy one?"

Yi Jiale smiled and let the old man think whatever he wanted.

"Uncle, can you help me get two wheels, the wheels for the 16-inch frame."

"Uncle, how long will it take you to get it?"

The bicycle man thought for a moment and said, "It depends on whether you are in a hurry to get the wheel."

Yi Jiale: "I'm still pretty anxious."

"Then you give me a 20 yuan deposit first, and then I'll write you a receipt. You can come and get it after pm. I have to go back to the factory to look for it."

Yi Jiale readily agreed, and took out 20 yuan from his pocket and handed it to the bicycle uncle. The uncle also gave Yi Jiale the receipt.

After saying goodbye to the uncle, they didn't expect today to be so smooth. Yi Jiale, Lin Xiong and Huo Sheng each took a few things and went back.

They returned to the yard, took all the bicycle parts and placed them in the yard, and then the three of them started working again.

There are some tools for repairing bicycles at the third uncle's house. Yesterday, Yi Jiale went with his father to borrow them.

The third uncle had a bicycle, so he was more experienced and came over to help.

However, these bicycle parts were too broken and even the uncle couldn't understand them.

Yi Jiale stayed up all night in the system space last night, and he used his points to extend his time, and he has been studying the "Bicycle Maintenance and Repair Manual" and "Basic Bicycle Assembly Skills". So now he is very familiar with bicycles.

Yi Jiale guided them step by step, with each step detailed and clear. She patiently explained the function and installation method of each part, so that everyone could better understand the whole production process. As time went by, the prototype of the bicycle gradually emerged. It was no longer just a pile of scattered parts, but began to show the outline of a complete bicycle. Every detail was carefully handled, and the frame, wheels, chain and other components were closely combined, as if ready to meet the challenges of the future. Looking at the gradually taking shape of the bicycle, everyone's hearts were filled with a sense of accomplishment and expectation.

Although the frame of this bicycle was badly rusted and damaged, Yi Jiale and his colleagues painted it, and it looks not much different from other bicycles from a distance.

The bicycle was left in the yard to dry.

Several people had lunch at Tuanzi's house at noon, after all, they were there to help.

Everyone finished lunch and rested. Huo Sheng and Lin Xiong saw that it was almost time, so they went to find Yi Jiale and waited to get the wheels and tires.

On the way, Yi Jiale asked Huo Sheng and Lin Xiong: "Now that you have fans at home, how do you feel?"

Huo Sheng smiled and said, "Tuanzi, thank you so much for teaching us how to make this fan. You don't know that my grandfather and I can sleep very well at night now. We no longer have to get up in the middle of the night and wipe our sweat with a wet towel."

"Tuanzi, you don't know that my grandfather thinks you are a little fairy who can do everything!"

Lin Xiong also laughed and danced, "You don't know that I sleep with He Zhiyuan now. We fight every day over who gets to sleep outside near the fan. Now He Zhiyuan is not afraid of the heat anymore, and he just wants to stay at home and enjoy the fan every day."

Yi Jiale smiled and said, "This is your reward. We agreed on it at the time! Why are you thanking me? You should also thank you! If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't be able to do it well by myself."

After saying this, the three of them looked at each other and laughed.
