When they arrived at school, the bell for class had not rung yet and the classmates were gathered in groups of three or five playing games. After Lin Dongyi put down her schoolbag, she joined the girls and jumped rope together.

When the girls were having fun, a boy named Banggeng came jogging over, stood across the rubber band with his shoulders folded, provoking them and interrupting their game.

Several girls complained at the same time:

"Bang Geng, you are stopping us from playing games, please get out of the way." "Yeah, you can't stand in the middle of a rubber band, it's so annoying."

"That's right, get out of the way quickly, or we'll tell the teacher."

Banggeng was indifferent, he just stared at Lin Dongyi and yelled: "Look, Lin Dongyi, I told you that you are a liar, you don't have any White Rabbit candy at all, you liar."

Lin Dongyi remembered what her brother had said to her, and mustered up her courage and said loudly, "I'm not lying. If you don't believe me, let's make a bet. If I have White Rabbit candy, you have to lie on the ground and bark like a dog."

"If you don't have White Rabbit milk candy, you have to lie on the ground and bark like a dog." Banggeng didn't believe her at all. He rolled his eyes and replied.

It is human nature to watch the fun. When the classmates saw that Lin Dongyi, who was usually not very courageous, had a quarrel with the naughty Guibang Geng, they all gathered around to watch.

Wang Erni also lived in Tongluoguxiang. She often walked home with Lin Dongyi after school and they had a good relationship.

She was worried that Lin Dongyi would be bullied, so she quickly walked over to her ear and said, "Dongyi, forget it. Don't worry about that stinky guy Banggeng. I really don't have any White Rabbit candies left."

Lin Dongyi smiled at her, comforted her not to worry, then walked into the classroom, opened her schoolbag and took out the candy in one go.

When Lin Dongyi walked out of the classroom, everyone's attention was attracted by the White Rabbit milk candy in her hand. Bang Geng was even dumbfounded and stood there in a daze.

"Erni, I'll give you one. Try it and see if they taste the same." Lin Dongyi took out one of the candies and handed it to Wang Erni.

Then she shared the candies in her hand with several girls who were playing with rubber bands. Only one candy was left in her hand. Bang Geng got anxious when he saw this and shouted:

"Lin Dongyi, you have to give me one to eat, otherwise no one will know whether your candy is real or fake."

Lin Dongyi laughed immediately when he heard what he said: "Everyone knows that Wang Erni ate White Rabbit milk candy this morning. Just ask her and you'll know whether it's true or not."

After saying this, he peeled the last candy, put it into his mouth, and ate it with relish.

"I can tell you all responsibly that the milk candy Lin Dongyi gave me is real. It tastes exactly the same as the one I ate this morning, fragrant and sweet." Wang Erniu ate the milk candy and spoke to prove it.

Seeing that his hope of getting the last candy was dashed, Banggeng pouted unhappily and turned around to go back to the classroom.

Wang Erni saw that he wanted to run away, so she immediately walked up to him and stretched out her hands to block his way: "Bang Geng, are you just going to leave like this? You haven't done what you promised yet."

The students on the side saw this and started to make a noise: "That's right, the teacher said that people should keep their promises. It would be bad if you don't keep your promises."

"Yeah, Banggeng, you can't be a coward, hurry up, the class will start soon."

"I think that's a good idea. If you don't like it, you should stop barking like a dog and just call yourself a turtle from now on."

Banggeng is a very unpopular guy. He doesn't have any classmates who he can get along with well. So of course no one will stand up to speak for him at this time.

Hearing the booing, his face turned red and white. He was embarrassed and annoyed, but Wang Erni stopped him and he couldn't run away. He couldn't think of a better way, so in desperation he had to lie on the ground like a puppy and bark a few times.

When the group of children saw that he really imitated the barking of a dog, they burst into laughter and clapped their hands in applause.

After Banggeng learned to bark like a dog, he felt so ashamed that he ran back to the classroom with a red face and sat down on his seat and lay on the table. No matter what the teacher said, he kept this posture for the whole afternoon.

Siheyuan.

Not long after the children left, many adults in the yard also walked out of the yard. It was obvious that it was time to go to work.

The best thing about living in this courtyard is that you can know when to go to school and when to go to work without looking at the clock.

After all, most of the people living in the courtyard are factory employees, and some of them have children in school. As long as one family has a watch, the time problem of the entire courtyard can be solved.

Lin Donglai locked the door and followed the crowd out of the courtyard, heading towards the steel mill. Along the way, he looked at the people riding bicycles and felt a little envious.

Bicycles were rare at that time. A brand new one would cost at least over a hundred yuan. More importantly, you couldn’t buy one even if you had money; you needed a bicycle ticket.

Lin Donglai calculated all the money he had and found that he had about a hundred yuan, which should be enough to buy a bicycle, but he didn't have a bicycle ticket. Moreover, once he bought the bicycle, all his savings would be gone, which was not acceptable.

A family without money means no ability to resist risks. Once something happens, the family will collapse. So you have to wait and see when buying a bicycle. You can only wait until you have more financial resources in the future.

After arriving at the steel rolling mill, Lin Donglai planned to report to the purchasing department first to see if Section Chief Su had any arrangements.

When he arrived at the purchasing department's office, he didn't know if it was because he was too early or what, but the entire office was empty. Lin Donglai didn't think much about it and went straight to his seat.

There happened to be a rag on the table, so he used it to wipe the table and chairs clean, then put his things down and sat down.

At this time, the door of the section chief's office opened, and Section Chief Su walked out. He was a little surprised to see Lin Donglai: "Xiao Lin, why are you sitting in the office? Don't you have anything to do this afternoon?"

"Chief Su, I have nothing to do this afternoon, so I was just about to come to your office to see if you have any plans."

"Xiao Lin, I forgot to tell you this morning that you don't have to stay in the factory all the time. Just come in and report in in the morning. Go outside the rest of the time and try to bring back as much food as possible for the factory."

After thinking for a while, Section Chief Su continued, "It just so happens that the factory director called and said that there will be a reception task in two days, and asked our purchasing department to prepare more food. I'll go to the city gate to take a look, do you want to come with me?"

Lin Donglai felt relieved by what Chief Su said, and he felt happy in his heart: this flexible working time would give him more opportunities to display his talents in the future.

"Chief Su, I won't go to the city gate. I remembered there's a place I can go to. Maybe I can solve the factory's reception task this time."

Lin Donglai declined Section Chief Su's suggestion to go to the city gate together. He thought he would be unhappy, but unexpectedly Section Chief Su smiled when he heard this: "Then go quickly. If you need any help, just let me know."

After bidding farewell to Section Chief Su, Lin Donglai came out of the steel mill and walked straight back to the courtyard...
