Even after Si Huan and Zhao Feng’s car drove far away, Zhao Feng was still sighing. “I really didn’t expect Huo Tian to have such a personality. Hey, don’t you think she’s quite interesting? It also happens that she seems to have a good impression of you. Why don’t you try it out with her? It’s not like you’ll lose out…”
Si Huan said coldly, “Which eye of yours saw that she likes me?”
Zhao Feng exaggeratedly pointed at his own eyes. “I saw it with both eyes. Didn’t she just say that if time went back to one year ago, she’d have agreed to the marriage agreement? Doesn’t this means that she likes you?”
However, Si Huan didn’t agree with Zhao Feng’s opinion. He recalled Huo Tian’s bright eyes when she looked at him. There was no infatuation or love in them. It was as if she was simply admiring something beautiful and there were no desires a woman would have toward a man.
At that moment, he felt that the way Huo Tian looked at him was like those rich second-generation heirs picking beautiful female companions. Her attitude was high and indifferent.
Si Huan didn’t reveal his true thoughts. Even he felt that this thought was ridiculous. Huo Tian was just a penniless girl who had been chased away by the Huo Family and was now carrying heavy debt. How could she look at him as if she was someone superior?
…
Even after they reached home, Ding Chen still looked angry.
Ding Rong was shocked by the wounds on his face. “You got into a fight again? Tiantian was with you! Why couldn’t you behave yourself?”
Ding Chen dodged Ding Rong’s slap and begged for mercy. “Sister, stop hitting me. I really didn’t do it on purpose. Moreover, Tiantian isn’t injured. Don’t worry!”
Ding Rong checked Huo Tian from head to toe before she felt relieved. She then asked curiously, “Didn’t you guys go out to buy a phone? Why did you get into a conflict with someone else?”
Huo Tian said, “Just find me an old phone that can make calls with. I want to save up money to buy a computer.”
Ding Rong smiled and tapped Huo Tian’s forehead. “Silly child, I can afford a computer. If you want it, get your uncle to bring you to buy one tomorrow.”
Huo Tian thought about it and said, “There’s no need to buy anything too good. Secondhand ones are fine too. It shouldn’t cost too much, right?”
Ding Chen, who was at the side, interrupted thoughtfully, “Can a broken secondhand computer work? I’ll be able to find one right away and it’ll be completely free.”
Huo Tian thought to herself, how could a big shot in technology not be able to know how to fix a computer? But she didn’t say it too definitely. “That depends on the computer’s condition. But if there are replacement parts, it should be possible to fix it.”
Ding Chen said, “I’ll bring the computer back. You can see if you’ll be able to fix it.”
With that, he dashed out.
Ding Rong looked helplessly at Ding Chen’s back and said to Huo Tian, “Your uncle is not very reliable. Fixing computers is a technical job. It’s not that easy. Tiantian, why don’t you buy a new one? A new one would be more durable.”
Huo Tian consoled her and said, “Mom, don’t worry. I’ll just be trying it out. There’s nothing to lose. If it can be fixed, won’t it save us some money?”
Not long after, Ding Chen brought a laptop back. There were scratches on the surface of the laptop, and when it was opened up, a large amount of dust flew up. After the laptop was plugged in, it didn’t turn on.
Huo Tian examined it carefully and said, “It’s not seriously damaged. We just need to repair it a little and then reinstall the system.”
Ding Rong and Ding Chen watched as Huo Tian used the simple tools at home to dismantle the computer, fiddled with it, and then reassembled it. The computer switched on.
Ding Rong and Ding Chen were surprised. “It’s fixed so easily?”
Huo Tian’s fingers danced on the keyboard as she said without looking up, “It’s not that fast. We still need to reinstall the system. Alright, now we just need to wait for it to install the program by itself.”
Ding Chen rubbed his hands excitedly. “Tiantian, you’re really amazing! Would you be able to fix computers that have other problems?”
Huo Tian said reservedly, “I can give it a try, but most of the problems won’t be able to stump me.”
Ding Chen laughed. “That’s great. I’ll find you some secondhand computers. You’ll be in charge of repairing them, and I’ll be in charge of selling them. How about we uncle and niece work together to get rich?”
This was a money-making idea that Huo Tian had never thought of before. However, her pockets were cleaner than her face right now, so every little bit of money counts.
Hence, Huo Tian nodded and said, “Sure. As long as you can find secondhand computers, you can bring them all to me. Even if I can’t fix them, I can still remove the parts and reuse them.
Ding Chen left happily once again. Only then did Huo Tian asked Ding Rong curiously, “Mom, where did Uncle get this secondhand computer from? To think that it’s actually free.”
Ding Rong said, “There’s a dumping ground nearby. Your uncle had probably gotten it from there. It’s not really free. He probably gave the boss of the dumping ground a few dozen yuan.”
Huo Tian wore a complicated expression on her face. She thought of how, back in her previous life, she had relied on assembling robots the parts she picked up from the dumping ground to gather the tuition fees for higher education. She didn’t expect that the start of her career in this life was also a dumping ground?
Was she destined to pick up trash?
