Title: Maintenance Worker Returning from Studying Abroad: Exploring the Art of Tying Shoelaces for Korean Girls
In my career as a plumber repairer, I have worked on countless home repairs, but today I want to share with you not only the stories of plumbing repairs, but also a wonderful journey of Korean girls and shoelaces.
One day, I received a call from a customer who said that the faucet in his house was leaking. I rushed to the scene and met a Korean student named Xiaoya, her eyes were big, and the two small dimples that appeared when she laughed made people feel good. She pointed to the kitchen faucet and said, "This faucet is always dripping, I tried tying it with a hairband tied around my wrist, but it didn't work well, can you fix it for me?"
I smiled and said, "Of course." "Then I started to inspect the faucets and found that it was a leak caused by the aging gasket. I removed the faucet, replaced the gasket, and solved the leakage. Xiaoya saw that the faucet was no longer leaking, and said very happily: "Thank you, repair master!"
Before leaving, I couldn't help but ask her, "Xiaoya, how did you tie your shoelaces into such a beautiful bow?"
She smiled and picked up a pair of sneakers to show me: "Actually, it's very simple, I first put the laces through the eyelets, then cross the ends like braiding hair, then thread one end through it to form a loop, and finally put the other end through the loop and tighten it." ”
I looked at her dexterous hands, and a graceful butterfly seemed to emerge in front of my eyes. I thought to myself, this technique is wonderful, simple and exquisite, perfectly showing the elegance and meticulousness of Korean girls.
When I got home, I started to think about how faucets sometimes need to be handled delicately to achieve the best results, like shoelaces, and I decided to apply this technique to my repair work.
Once, I went to repair a family's washing machine. The host told me that there was always a leak in the washing machine when washing clothes. I checked it out and found that it was caused by the aging and damaged drain pipe of the washing machine. So, I replaced the old one with a new drain, but when I tried to start the washing machine, I found that there was still water seeping from the bottom of the washing machine.
I was confused and didn't know what to do about it. At this moment, I suddenly remembered the technique of tying my shoes that Xiao Ya had taught me. Perhaps, I can skillfully handle the drain of the washing machine like tying a bow!
I rechecked the connection of the drain pipe and found a subtle hole. I closed it tightly with glue and sealing tape, and readjusted the drain to the washing machine connection as if I were weaving a delicate bow.
When I started the washing machine again, not a single drop of water leaked out. The master said happily: "Thank you so much, repairman!"
In my repair work, I started to try to solve the problem in a more ingenious way, just like a Korean girl tying her shoes, taking care of every detail just right.
In addition to water and electricity repairs, I also dabbled in the field of circuit repairs. Once, I went to fix a faulty electrical circuit in a house. The host said that the TV in the house always had the problem of unstable signal, especially when the weather was bad.
I checked the wiring and antenna of the TV and found that the antenna wiring was a little old. I remembered Xiaoya's bow trick and decided to deal with it in a more subtle way.
I rearranged the antenna lines with a new connection and added a signal amplifier, as if weaving a beautiful net to capture the air waves in the sky.
When I turned on the TV again after debugging, a clear picture immediately appeared on the screen. The owner was pleasantly surprised and said, "It's amazing, repairman!"
In my maintenance work, I am constantly learning and exploring, trying to solve problems in a more ingenious way. I learned the skills I learned from Korean girls and used my professional knowledge and skills to solve various problems for customers and make their lives more convenient and comfortable.
The skill of tying my shoes that Xiaoya taught me is not only a simple skill, but also an art of living. I will incorporate this art into my repair work to make every detail more perfect and make every repair a satisfying experience.
