Siheyuan: After traveling through time, who can still be an honest person?

Yan Bugui looked at the sack in Cao Yue's hand again and said with a smile: "Xiao Cao, let me use your sack."

"I'll sell it to you for fifty cents." Cao Yue stretched out his right hand.

"No, keep it for yourself."

Yan Bu was so proud that he asked the three aunts to go back home to find the bag.

Cao Yue returned to the backyard and Lou Xiao'e tiptoed towards him.

"Sister Xiao'e, you want to be a thief!"

Cao Yue joked.

"Hush, keep your voice down. Uncle and Shazhu are still in the old lady's room."

Lou Xiao'e carefully glanced at the deaf old lady's door, put her right index finger to her lips and made a "whispering" gesture.

"Come in and tell me what you want to say."

Cao Yue opened the door and wanted to invite Lou Xiao'e to his home to talk slowly, but Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes.

If she had gone into Cao Yue's house today, a man and a woman alone in the same room, and been seen by people in the yard, she would have been drowned in spit.

It’s better to talk outside if you have something to say.

"Xiao Cao, you were too impulsive tonight. What you said offended both the first and second uncles. They will definitely retaliate against you in the future."

Lou Xiao'e said worriedly.

"Sister Xiao'e, there are some things that you can't avoid just by being afraid. If I give in today, some people will think you are weak and can be bullied, and will bully you even more in the future." Cao Yue said coldly.

People who are good are bullied by others, and horses who are good are ridden by others.

Cao Yue knew that the beasts in the courtyard were used to getting more and more, and Yi Zhonghai was best at moral blackmail.

If I continue to eat lavishly every day, he will sooner or later target me. Even if I claim to be helping a neighbor in need, Cao Yue will definitely not agree.

Therefore, the two sides will fall out sooner or later.

Lou Xiao'e is kind, but not stupid. She sighed and said, "Alas! The people in our hospital are too complicated."

"Sister Xiao'e, you better be careful of the deaf old lady in the future. She is not as simple as she seems."

Cao Yue reminded.

Lou Xiao'e was stunned when she heard this, and didn't know why Cao Yue said that.

At this moment, Cao Yue and Lou Xiao'e heard some noise coming from the deaf old lady's house next door, and they hurried back home.

After a while, Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu came out of the deaf old lady's house.

Yi Zhonghai looked serious, raised his head and glanced at Cao Yue's door, and whispered, "Zhu Zi, you have to remember what I just said to the old lady."

Sha Zhu looked unconvinced and snorted twice in response.

Yi Zhonghai shook his head, and the two of them walked out of the backyard one after the other.

……

In the following days, Cao Yue basically got up early to go to the Pigeon Market to buy various tickets and supplies, and then sold the freshwater fish in his portable space.

By Saturday, they had sold nearly 5,000 kilograms of fish and earned more than 1,800 yuan.

One week's business was equivalent to Cao Yue's salary for three and a half years.

Because tomorrow is Sunday, Cao Yue wants to get off work early and then go outside the city to set up hunting traps.

After lunch, I went straight to the Security Department office.

"You want to take leave again?"

Ma Weijun said unhappily.

"Master, I'm not asking for leave, I'm leaving early." Cao Yue said confidently.

Ma Weijun pointed at Cao Yue, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Cao Yue knew that he had agreed, and he chuckled. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he was stopped again.

"Here, Deputy Director Li asked me to give this to you."

Ma Weijun took out a ticket from the drawer.

"Bicycle ticket?!" Cao Yue held it in his hand in surprise.

Deputy Director Li is not a good person, but he does a good job and at least he does his job well.

Ma Weijun smiled and said, "You are so lucky, Deputy Director Li has spoken, and no one else dares to say anything."

Cao Yue knew the value of this bicycle ticket. With a bicycle, it would be more convenient for him to go to Pigeon City in the morning.

Ma Weijun added: "Do you have enough money? If not, I can lend you some."

"No, Master, I have it."

After Cao Yue left the Security Department office, he said something to Gao Lisheng again before leaving the steel mill.

……

With a bicycle ticket, it’s natural to go to the department store.

There are fewer customers in the department store today than last time I came.

Cao Yue didn't wander around, but went straight to the bicycle counter.

"Hello, sister, I want to buy a Forever 28-bar truck."

Cao Yue said as he handed the bicycle ticket to the salesperson.

"Wow, it's amazing that you bought a bicycle at such a young age."

The salesperson took the bicycle ticket, confirmed it again and again, then looked at Cao Yue's handsome appearance and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Young man, do you have a girlfriend? Do you want me to introduce you to one?"

"Thank you very much, I have a partner." Cao Yue said with a smile.

The salesperson shook his head regretfully when he heard this.

If one can buy a bicycle at such a young age, it means either that he is young and promising, or that his family has a strong background.

No matter which one, they are in great demand in the marriage market.

ten minutes later.

Cao Yue paid 188 yuan and left the department store with the receipt issued by the salesperson.

Along the way, pedestrians looked at the brand new and shiny bicycles with envy.

This kind of treatment is comparable to the cool convertible sports cars of later generations!

Cao Yue went to the police station again, paid one year's management fee, and stamped the document before heading out of the city.

When he reached the foot of the mountain outside the city, Cao Yue looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he put the bicycle into the space.

There were still some hunting traps left from the last time. Cao Yue checked and found that he had caught a rabbit and a pheasant without knowing when.

Fortunately, it is winter now, and the hare and pheasant have not spoiled, they are just frozen hard.

Cao Yue took away all the hunting traps and the drying pine firewood.

Twenty minutes later, they arrived at another mountain and rearranged the traps according to the animal footprints.

Seeing that it was still early, he selected some straight and thick pine trees as fresh firewood, and then found a place to dry them.

Thanks to the bicycle, the journey was convenient and fast, and I got back to the courtyard at just six o'clock.

As soon as they entered the backyard, Yan Bugui and his wife came out of their house and exclaimed when they saw Cao Yue driving a new bicycle.

"Xiao Cao, did you buy a bicycle?"

The neighbors around heard the noise and came out of their homes to gather around.

Cao Yue just happened to explain the origin of the bicycle to prevent anyone from causing trouble.

He patted the handlebars and said, "I caught two thieves who stole scrap metal last week. The factory gave me a bicycle ticket as a reward."

Yan Bugui came over and asked enviously, "How much did you pay for this?"

Cao Yue said: "I spent a total of 188 yuan at the department store!"

The neighbors around exclaimed in amazement.

Cao Yue is so rich. Not only does he eat delicious food every day, but now he has even bought a bicycle.

There used to be three bicycles in the entire courtyard.

One for Xu Damao, one for Su Rong, and one for He Yushui.

Now Cao Yue’s car is the fourth one.

Yan Bugui felt very jealous because his uncle hadn't even ridden a bicycle yet!

When he saw the hares and pheasants hanging on both sides of Cao Yue's handlebars, as well as two freshwater fish weighing five or six kilograms, his eyes rolled and he immediately came up with an idea.

"Xiao Cao, you bought a bicycle. This is not only a happy event for you, but also a big event for our entire hospital."

Yan Bugui smiled and said, "Tomorrow is a holiday, and everyone is free. You should treat all the neighbors to a good meal to celebrate. You don't have to serve fancy dishes. The pheasants, rabbits, and fish you have will be enough."

As soon as these words were spoken, the neighbors around cheered.
