Chapter 22 Enthusiastic "Uncle Lu"
Jiang Li went home as quickly as possible to take a shower and change into a sports suit that was convenient for work.
Check out the stock of tuning tools and parts, and head out again with your blind stick.
The expected tuning work was more arduous than Jiang Li imagined.
Not only were these instruments in disrepair, some of them felt like they had been exposed to rain, with the exterior paint bubbling.
Most of the internal parts were also broken.
Based on the overall assessment, she earned barely 2,000 yuan after completion.
The introducer also knew that the payment was small, but this batch of pianos was for music lessons for children in Hope Primary School, and the funds were limited, so Jiang Li could only bear more trouble.
Jiang Li had nothing to say. Now that he had accepted the order, he worked hard.
Fortunately, the introducer saw that she was a slender little girl who was repairing twenty pianos by herself. She was standing among the pianos with her head buried in the pile and couldn't see her. So she specially sent two new music teachers, a boy and a girl, to help her. .
By the way, learn some simple debugging methods. Once the piano is repaired, you can try to save some money by adjusting it yourself.
Someone helped Jiang Li feel much lighter physically.
During the day, two people helped her disassemble the various parts of the piano that needed repair, and then cleaned and disinfected them.
Jiang Li matched the new parts and replaced them one by one.
While the two helpers rested at night, Jiang Li stayed in the classroom to adjust and tune the pianos one by one that had been cleaned and replaced during the day.
After each machine was adjusted, she would rest for a while, straighten her aching back, put her hands on the keys, and play from "Alice" to "Castle in the Sky". After adjusting one machine, she would play just one song.
The light piano music swirled over the empty campus, the stars shone brightly, and Jiang Li's heart also flashed with light.
The heavy and stagnant old piano kept playing smooth and sweet notes under her hands, and the feeling of the boat passing through the Ten Thousand Mountains was vividly felt in her heart.
The figure in the darkness was leaning against the corridor railing outside the classroom window, the cigarette butt in his hand flickering with a scarlet halo of light. The gray smoke mixed with the night shrouded his whole body in an invisible fog.
He looked into the room with his long and deep eyes, looking at the busy little figure under a halo of light above his head, and fell into deep thought for a long time.
Jiang Li is blind, so doing these things takes more time than ordinary tuners.
So I also have higher demands on myself.
I worked intensively for three days and two nights. When I got tired, I lay down on the folding chair next to me and took a nap for a while. The alarm clock rang half an hour later, and I immediately got up and continued working.
In the past year or so, except for the few days when Lu Yan came every month, she spent most of her time waiting for Ai Ai.
Waiting for Lu Yan’s phone call, waiting for him to come home occasionally...
Jiang Li felt exhausted after being busy for a long time.
But full of energy.
It was completed according to the agreed time and even a few hours ahead of schedule. Jiang Li received the commission, and the corners of his eyes and brows were filled with joy from the bottom of his heart.
She finally finished a job on her own without relying on anyone's pity, and received a considerable income.
Jiang Li looked surprised when he heard the WeChat payment sound, which was 10,000 yuan more than agreed.
When asked about the boss Fan Peng, he only said that the extra 10,000 yuan was a bonus he gave Jiang Li for completing the job ahead of schedule.
Jiang Li asked again. He was entrusted with the task and couldn't explain too much. He avoided the topic with vague words and praised Jiang Li's tuning skills.
He had no idea that a blind little girl could debug twenty old pianos quickly and well.
The two new music teachers who assisted her specially tried to play the piano, and found that the intonation and key stability were all fine.
In addition to cleaning and debugging, Jiang Li also renovated the appearance.
The old pianos have been refurbished. At first glance, the dark paint bodies are smooth and shiny.
After expressing his gratitude sincerely, Fan Peng deliberately saved Jiang Li's contact information in his mobile address book.
"I own a second-hand piano shop. If Miss Jiang doesn't mind, I would like to sign a cooperation agreement with you. In the future, the second-hand pianos I receive need tuning and repair work, and I want you to do it. In terms of price, I may give you Not too high, but the large portion should make up for it…”
"Then I can give you a bulk discount, but please don't hurry up with the low prices like this time. Then I really can't stand it."
Jiang Li spoke in a relaxed tone. She had been working for three days and two nights in a row. Her hair was slightly messy. The dazzling sunshine at noon fell on her head and shoulders, coating her with a layer of golden light. She had just finished her work, and there were still transparent drops of sweat on her forehead. The light shines brightly, and the big, vacant eyes are open. The long black eyelashes cast a small shadow under the eyes. The whole person is bright but not dazzling, but the beauty is so bright that it shines into the heart of the heart...
Fan Peng is still single in his thirties. He is tall and strong, with dark skin and clean and fresh clothes. Looking at Jiang Li, who is as white as a fairy and looks like a little fairy, he feels dark and earthy, and unconsciously stops laughing. Eight white teeth.
Even while chatting, rubbing his trouser legs with his fingers, he became distracted staring at Jiang Li.
Jiang Li couldn't see it, but he could feel that he was a good person in front of him.
Before arriving, Sister Lian, the person in charge of the blind tuning agency, gave her a general introduction to the situation.
Fan Peng was a kid from the mountains with little education, but at the age of seventeen or eighteen he walked out of the mountains alone and opened a famous second-hand piano store in Shenzhen City on his own.
Jiang Li grew up in Shenzhen City since he was a child. His family was well off when he was a child. The Jiang family had always been carefree until something happened.
Later, when I went to college and met roommates and classmates from all over the country, I realized that a prosperous metropolis like Shenzhen City is like a siege to people outside the city.
People inside want to go out for a walk, while people outside may not be able to gain a foothold here even if they try their best.
The city is so big, and people are so small.
So every tiny effort is worth cherishing.
Everyone who is still working hard deserves respect.
Especially Fan Peng has achieved a little success and is able to participate in charity to the best of his ability, which makes Jiang Li admire him even more.
The two negotiated and agreed to visit and sign a cooperation agreement at Fan Peng's second-hand piano store in the city next Monday.
"I'm sorry, Miss Jiang, I have to stay in the school to hand over the piano to the principal. It's remote here and it's not easy to get a taxi. How about you go to my car to rest and wait for me for a while?"
"I can figure it out myself."
It was almost afternoon, and Jiang Li didn't even have the strength to lift his arms. He just wanted to go back to sleep.
Tomorrow, he and Meng Qingyan made an appointment to go to the blind school to adjust the piano together.
Now time can be said to be every second counts.
Because the distance is a bit far, the mobile phone software can't call a car.
Jiang Li walked carefully for a while with a blind stick. From time to time, she heard a car passing behind her, so she stood on the roadside and waved to stop it.
She didn't have much hope.
Unexpectedly, she really stopped a car.
But the car might not be in good condition. It was a farm three-wheeled vehicle.
It was open-top, with a large car shell at the back and only a long seat in the front. Apart from the driver, it could barely fit one person.
"Little girl, there are a lot of sheep in the back of my car. There is no place for you to sit. If you don't mind the dirt, you can sit in the front with me, an old man?"
No wonder Jiang Li heard several sheep calls.
From here to the edge of the city, according to Jiang Li's walking speed, she couldn't reach it until dark.
This is a county road, with few cars and people, and it's not safe after dark.
Besides, she didn't know whether she could stop the next car. Jiang Li simply held her breath and sat in the co-pilot of the three-wheeled vehicle.
After the driver waited for her to get in the car, he re-shifted the gear and drove the car.
It was just the beginning of the meal, and it seemed that her driving skills were a bit poor.
But it was good enough that the other person was kind enough to give her a little way, and Jiang Li was too embarrassed to say anything more.
The kind-hearted old man who had completed his task in the distance and was left behind walked around the luxury car that was also forced to stay on the roadside.
The hand holding the car key kept shaking.
"Come back, young man, I have been driving a three-wheeled vehicle all my life, and I can't drive this luxury car! If it gets damaged, I can't afford to pay for it even if I sell me and the dozens of sheep together!"
