Yan Jiecheng's life after finding a partner was a happy one, writing letters and dating, but he felt that the two of them met too little. He was just thinking about getting a bicycle.
Yanbu Gui brought home a Phoenix bicycle. A teacher from Hongxing Primary School who worked in Yanbu wanted to be transferred to another place as a leader. He couldn't take the bicycle with him, so he went to a car repair shop to sell it for only 65 yuan. When the third uncle found out, he spent
For 70 yuan, I bought this 70% new second-hand Phoenix bicycle.
There is no need for a ticket and the bike is in pretty good condition, so Yanbugui gets a big advantage.
"Lao Yan, have you bought a bicycle?" Yi Zhonghai, the first man, saw Yan Bugui scrubbing the bicycle and came over.
"How about a Phoenix bicycle, a big chain cover, an electroplated single bracket, an electroplated rear frame, and a rotating bell?" The third uncle said with pride written all over his face.
"Yes, it's good. It's convenient to have a bicycle at home. If you have something to do in the courtyard, you can use it." The first uncle was upset by Yan Bugui again.
This bicycle is Yan Bugui's eyeball. It has been cleaned and cleaned. It is not for others to ride. Not to mention the people in the courtyard and the family, Yan Bugui doesn't want to ride it.
"Old Yan, there's a big addition to the family, when are you going to treat us all to a drink?" Liu Haizhong, the second uncle who likes to do things, came to the courtyard to tease Yan Bugui during the foreplay.
"I bought a second-hand bicycle. I'll wait until I buy a new one to buy a new one!" Yan Bugui immediately performed a Sichuan opera face change.
"Third uncle, whether it's old or new, this is the second bicycle in the yard, so you should treat it as a treat." Silly Zhu liked to tease the third uncle, which made the stingy third uncle feel distressed.
The third uncle showed up with a deaf old lady's stunt "I can't hear". The third uncle was also good at pretending to be deaf and mute.
Originally, buying large items to treat guests was not fashionable in this courtyard house. When the Jia family bought sewing machines, they did not treat guests. The second uncle bought the large items when Liu Guangqi got married.
How could Yan Bugui start the bloodletting from himself? No one really wanted to treat him, so they were just joking.
In this era, it is important to have three turns and one beep. Bicycles, watches, and sewing machines all have three turns, and one beep is the radio.
When you get married, there are one or two things that are extremely honorable, and you are not an ordinary person if you want to do them all.
It is definitely an exaggeration to say that a bicycle is equivalent to a sports car in later generations. It is okay to compare it to a BBA in later generations.
All the melon-eaters in the courtyard also gathered around and bought large items to watch. This is considered a standard procedure.
If Yan Bugui hadn't been cleaning the bike, all the naughty kids would have wanted to ride it twice.
When Lao Yan bought a bicycle, some were envious of it, and of course there were also some who were jealous.
The folk customs are simple, and most people praise Yanbu for being a good housekeeper and being able to afford bicycles, which is a big advantage.
For example, the Jia Zhang family is unbalanced. My man is dead, and my son is also dead. The children are getting bigger and bigger, the expenses are getting bigger and bigger, and the Jia family's living standard is getting worse and worse. Why should your life be getting better and better?
The psychologically twisted Mrs. Jia and Zhang cursed loudly at home, scaring Bangge as much as a little quail, while Xiaodang and Huaihua burst into tears.
Qin Huairu thought that the Yan family's conditions were good. She had never thought that the Yan family had money before, so she could join the Yan family in the fish pond.
Silly Zhu doesn't care much about food, clothing, housing and transportation. No one makes new clothes. Buying ready-made clothes is more expensive. A shabby cotton-padded jacket can last all winter.
If you want to eat well, you can eat some in the cafeteria, and whatever you take home will be given to the widow's family.
The two largest houses in the courtyard where Silly Zhu lives are not tidied up. The standard furnishings for a bachelor are like a pig's nest.
If it works, Sha Zhu has the most free time at work, because he will work overtime to prepare dinner for the boss when he has time, so Sha Zhu can go to work in the morning and make time to cook a big pot of food at noon.
When I was rich, I never thought that it would be easier to find a partner if I bought a three-turn ring. Later, I helped the widow. I had no money, and I didn’t think about it anymore.
As long as the widow gives him a smile, it's enough for him to be silly and happy for a day.
"Yan Laoxi is already willing to buy a bicycle, but I, the old man, haven't bought one yet!" The old man said to the aunt.
"Why don't we buy one too? It's all my fault that I didn't give you a son and a half, or else I won't be willing to spend any money!" the eldest mother said guiltily.
"We won't buy it. We usually don't have a long commute to get off work, so we won't need it if we buy it."
"Ezi, did you know that Yan Laoxi bought a bicycle?" Xu Damao told Lou Xiao'e with a gossipy face.
"Really! Is the third uncle so rich? Where can he get his bicycle ticket?" Lou Xiao'e also became interested. There was too little entertainment, so they were more interested in gossip.
"How can he buy a new bicycle like us and buy a second-hand bicycle?" Xu Damao looked embarrassed.
"Second-hand bicycles are not cheap, either. The third uncle usually saves a lot of money by being frugal." Lou Xiao'e was shocked that the Yan family had money to buy bicycles.
Normally, the Yan family's living conditions are too poor and the population is large, but they didn't expect to still have savings.
Yan Bugui was very happy. The value of the bicycle itself took advantage of it, and he gained a lot of face. It was simply worth it.
The right to speak in the courtyard is in the hands of three stewards.
The first master himself has a good reputation, good skills, and great prestige. He is protected by a deaf old lady who lives on five guarantees, and Siheyuan God of War Si Zhu serves as his thugs.
The second uncle and the third uncle in the courtyard can only unite to prevent everything in the courtyard from becoming the first uncle's say. They always want to attack the first uncle's prestige and compete for the right to speak in the courtyard.
The uncle wants to take control of the courtyard in his own hands to facilitate moral kidnapping and smoothly carry out his retirement plan.
The second uncle likes to be an official. Since he cannot be a leader in the factory, he wants to be the top leader of the courtyard.
In order to have a higher status in the courtyard, the third uncle has a better chance of receiving small favors from people like Xu Damao.
The temple is full of demons and winds, and this is the situation in this courtyard house. Three generations of people, old, middle and young, are trying to cause trouble.
…
In the next few days, Yan Bugui focused on his bicycle. The flowers and plants at the door were neglected and they were not watered for a long time. Yan Jiecheng couldn't stand it. Those who watered them would have died of drought.
Also a possibility.
Yan Bugui stopped guarding the gate after work every day and rode his bicycle everywhere to find places to fish.
Yan Bugui felt bad about spending money, and thought about getting a bicycle and fishing more after get off work to replenish his health.
After fishing for a few days, the time off work was too short and the harvest was not great, so I decided to go fishing in a less crowded place in the suburbs on the weekend.
Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang's idea of learning to ride a bicycle on the weekend was ruthlessly suppressed.
Yan Jiecheng knew Yan Bugui's style of doing things, so he didn't ask for embarrassment. In Yan Bugui's opinion, fishing was the most important thing to supplement the family income. What kind of bicycle did the date ride?
Early in the morning on the weekend, after breakfast, I took my fishing rod, steamed buns, pickles, and kettle with me and headed out of the city along the Yongding River.
