Red clouds of fire hung in the sky. Looking at the setting sun, Danny returned home with satisfaction. When he returned home, it was already evening. Seeing the unlocked iron gate in the courtyard, he knew that his father had returned. He pushed the rusty iron gate with a slight force. With a creak, the iron gate opened with the sound of years of disrepair. This was a somewhat dilapidated house. Only the discolored walls and the crumbling windows could be seen. These were enough to show that it had not been repaired for a long time.
He walked through the overgrown yard to the front door of the house. He pushed open the ajar door and walked into the house. He immediately smelled the familiar smell of alcohol in the air. The television screen was full of snowflakes, and it was still the same as usual. His father was drunk and asleep on the sofa.
Danny was already used to this. He put down the paper bag in his hand, rolled up his sleeves, and put the wine bottles and glasses on the table in front of the sofa back to their original places. He swept the bags of peanut shells on the ground and washed the dishes. Finally, he helped his father take off his shoes and covered him with a blanket. After everything was clear, he found a loaf of bread from the kitchen. As he chewed on it, he went to a small wooden house built with wooden planks at the back of the house.
This small wooden house was actually the storeroom at home and also Danny's little world. In this small space, there were condensers, resistances, coil, and lasers scattered everywhere. In the corner, there were many circuit boards that he had picked up. There were so many things and it was messy, revealing a kind of workaholic mess.
There was a table in the middle of the room. On the table were some of Danny's homemade tools, as well as the electric branding iron and the multi-meter that he had saved up for months to " buy " through Old Man Bern.
Speaking of old man Bowen, he was the only person Danny felt close to in the town other than his father.
This table was Danny's work desk. He sat in front of the table and opened the drawer of the table. He took out a few thick books from inside. These were all 'gifts' from Father Bern. These books were very damaged. It could be seen that they had been read very frequently.
Danny opened a book and read it. His teacher was these books. Without anyone's guidance, with his amazing persistence and perseverance in radio, he made his way to the high-end of electronic technology step by step. Perhaps laymen didn't know that radio was a special subject in electronics. It almost integrated the cutting-edge of all kinds of electronic knowledge. Simply put, if you want to be proficient in radio, you must be proficient in all kinds of electronic professional knowledge. Being proficient in radio was equivalent to standing at the top of electronic technology and being able to understand any electronic circuit diagram. This was a difficult path, a path that required him to forget about eating and sleeping, day and night. He had still walked it, gradually progressing from basic electronic knowledge to the success of the radio station.
Danny read the book attentively, taking notes and circling on the circuit diagram from time to time. The sky slowly darkened. Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Danny couldn't help but wonder. Usually, he didn't have much contact with people at home. Even neighbors were very unfamiliar with each other.
Puzzled, Danny put down his book and went to open the door. He went to the yard and saw Teacher Jennifer standing outside through the gap between the iron gates.
Danny panicked when he saw Jennifer. He turned around to avoid her eyes, but Jennifer had already noticed him and immediately called out,""Danny!"
She couldn't help but be shocked. Seeing Danny, who couldn't avoid Jennifer, walk to the iron door and open it, she lowered her head uneasily. Jennifer took out the wooden box that he had left behind from her bag and asked softly,""Is this yours?"
"Yes…Yes!" Danny answered in a low voice.
Jennifer opened the box and admired the structure inside. She handed it to Danny and praised,""What an appalling work. Did you make this yourself?”
"Yes…Yes!" Danny admitted honestly.
"This is unbelievable. Oh right, why haven't I seen you in the elementary school club in the community? Don't you like to go to the elementary school club?”
"No, that's not it. Actually, I also want to join the club!”
"Then why didn't you join the club?" asked Jennifer suspiciously. There are a lot of fun things to do there, and there are also many great activities!”
"I also want to go and take a look. I heard that there's a library inside with a lot of books!”As he spoke, Danny's eyes began to shine with desire. Perhaps nothing could make him more excited than writing a book.
"Then all the more you should join!"
" But…but…" Danny hesitated.
"But what?"
"Joining the club costs ten yuan a month. I, I don't have any money!”Indeed, this was a very large sum of money for Danny. Apart from this reason, there was another important reason. This was because he rarely had contact with the outside world, so he did not have the courage to sign up to join this strange world.
Ten dollars, this amount was really insignificant. Jennifer said without thinking,""It's okay. I'll help you pay this ten yuan. You'll sign up with me tomorrow!”
"I…I don't want to go!"
"Why? There are many popular science activities in the club. I believe it's very suitable for you and will be of great help!”
In fact, Danny was very eager to join the elementary school club in the community because the club had a lot of useful science equipment and a very rich collection of books. Even if he could get a book that he liked, it would be enough to make Danny happy for a week. After joining the club, he could borrow the books freely, which would be very tempting for him. However, Danny had never been able to overcome his timidity in the face of a strange world. Even if he had the money, he would not dare to sign up, let alone without it.
Jennifer seemed to have noticed his uneasiness. She said,""It's okay. Teacher is there too. Go with Teacher!”
"This…"
"Go! There are so many books inside."
"Hmm…!" After an internal struggle, Danny's timidity finally succumbed to the temptation of the club.
Jennifer smiled and said happily,""Then I'll see you at the entrance of the community general affairs office at eight o'clock tomorrow!”
Danny was touched and said loyally,""Thank you!"
Danny couldn't calm down for a long time after he left. He was excited at the thought of being able to come into contact with those books.
At this moment, a weak voice came from the box in Danny's hand.""Zisi…Mr. Danny, we have received your signal.
