Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 192
Duan Yun returned to the rental house after riding around the entire factory area twice.

After fetching a bucket of water from the water room, Duan Yun started to clean the car.

The paint and rust on these two cars are a little bit off, but it's just not good-looking, and there is no problem in actual use.

In the next step, Duan Yun plans to give the whole bucket of paint a good job. Firstly, it will prevent rust, and secondly, it will look more beautiful.

As for the oil consumption of motorcycles, Duan Yun knew that there are several gas stations in Daxing City. Because of the planned economy, motorcycles can sell 42 liters of No. 70 gasoline every quarter. If you want to buy more, you can also buy more. , but the price will be more expensive. The price of a liter of gasoline is about seventy to eighty cents.

In addition, the motorcycles of the past two years need to be registered. Since this is an obsolete vehicle from the Public Security Bureau, it is very simple to go through a procedure and pay a handling fee for the registration.

For a whole afternoon, Duan Yun was cleaning and repairing the two motorcycles.

The engine of this kind of motorcycle is two-stroke, and there is no oil in half of the tank. Compared with the motorcycles of later generations, the maintenance is much simpler. Due to the simple structure and function, the relative probability of failure is not much. Usually, only regular maintenance is required. That's it.

In addition, this kind of motorcycle also has a reverse gear function, and the speed of reversing is very fast. Generally speaking, the driving feeling is rougher than the tricycle motorcycles of later generations, but it is definitely a high-end private car in this era!
There are four gears in total on the rotating handlebar, 1 is the switch, 2 is the width light, 3 is the low beam, and 4 is the high beam. This structure is similar to the high-end and large-displacement cruiser of later generations, and the operation is simple and practical.

The car used a six-volt battery. Duan Yun tested the headlights and found that the headlight of one of the cars was broken, and the circuit of the other car was rusted, and the wires needed to be replaced.

Car lights are very important to Duan Yun, because if Duan Yun sends young workers to work outside in the future, there will be few street lights on the road at night when Duan Yun returns. Once an accident occurs because he cannot see the road clearly, it will be very dangerous things.

Now Duan Yun has begun to love this kind of motorcycle. After wiping the car clean, Duan Yun went to the supply and marketing agency of the factory to buy a bucket of green paint. I first bought a light bulb with similar power and dealt with it first.

After the electric soldering iron was connected to the power supply, Duan Yun spent more than half an hour replacing all the electric wires on the car. Finally, after installing the headlights and testing them to be normal, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The process of painting is a little troublesome.

Because the paint was mottled and peeled off, Duan Yun simply used a flat shovel to remove all the paint on the car body, and then sanded off the rust on it, exposing the smooth metal, and then carefully brushed it again with a brush.

In fact, the refurbishment and painting process of this kind of car in later generations is very complicated. If you paint directly, there will be no brightness, and the flatness will not be good enough. But Duan Yun didn't buy these two cars to be handsome, but to give young workers A vehicle with an antenna installed, so the requirements are not so high.

At night, Duan Yun stayed alone in the rental house to paint.

Cui Linleizi and the others have to work until seven or eight o'clock in the evening before returning. When they arrive at the factory at this point, they will go home to rest and prepare for the night shift.

Duan Yun was busy by himself until after ten o'clock in the evening. Then he repaired the two motorcycles, put them in the warehouse, and dragged his tired body back home.

……

Early the next morning, after getting off the night shift, Duan Yun went directly to the rental house again. After pushing the car out of the warehouse, his eyes suddenly brightened.

It turned out that after one night of air drying, the paint on the car was basically dry, except that the smell was still a bit heavy, but it was no problem at all to the touch.

"Brother, what are you..." At this time, Cao Dong came to the rental house on his bicycle, and asked Duan Yun in surprise when he saw two shiny motorcycles parked at the door.

"I bought second-hand goods yesterday, and the paint was just repaired last night, what do you think?" Duan Yun turned his head and said to Cao Dong with a smile,

"You... bought it?" Cao Dong was stunned when he heard the words, and then asked: "This is a good thing, where did you buy it?"

"I replaced them with speakers and a small boss in the mine. They are all old cars eliminated by their local police station, but they are still good enough to use." Duan Yun paused, and then said: "With these two cars, It will be much more convenient for you to go to other factories in the future, this bucket can hold a lot of goods..."

"Great!"

Cao Dong had a look of excitement when he heard the words.

In the past two days, Cao Dong and several other young workers have been running back and forth between various factories. They are as tired as dogs every day. It is impossible to take the bus, because the bus is gone until [-] pm, and most of the antenna users are only at night. There are only people at home, so I can only ride my bike back and forth every day.

But now with this sidecar motorcycle, it is undoubtedly a shotgun change. These days, the roads are relatively wide, and only the city center has traffic lights, so riding a motorcycle must be several times faster than a bicycle, and it also saves energy. .

"Come up and try." Duan Yun said, inserting the key into the accelerator switch and turning it.

"Eh." Cao Dong got on the motorcycle with excitement when he heard the words.

"Don't touch the sidecar, the paint on it is not dry..." Duan Yun reminded, and then began to teach Cao Dong how to drive a sidecar motorcycle.

Cao Dong learned quickly, and after only a while, he left the rental house on his motorcycle.

More than ten minutes later, Cao Dong, who had circled the factory area, rode his motorcycle back excitedly.

"Brother, this thing is awesome!" Cao Dong obviously didn't recover from his excitement, and continued: "If I have money in the future, I will also buy a motorcycle."

"It is estimated that after this month of work, you will have the money to buy a motorcycle." Duan Yun raised his brows and said, "But you have to work hard during this time."

"That's for sure, Brother Duan, I've always listened to you the most." Cao Dong expressed his loyalty to Duan Yun after hearing the words, and said to Duan Yun with a smile on his face after a while: "Brother, can I ride a horse later?" Is this motorcycle going to collect the bill?"

"I bought this thing for your use." Duan Yun smiled and said, "But if you ride it for fun, I won't reimburse you for the gas!"

"Hahaha, brother, don't worry, public is public, private is private, I can tell the difference clearly." Cao Dong said with a straight face.

"Okay, then you can ride away." Duan Yun waved his hand and said.

"Thank you bro!"

Cao Dong's face turned into a flower when he heard the words, he stepped on the gas pedal fiercely, and with a chug sound, a puff of white smoke rose from the rear of the car, and quickly disappeared from Duan Yun's sight...
