Siheyuan: The Cellar

Chapter 97 4 The First Bicycle in the Courtyard

When he rode the bicycle, the legendary situation of passers-by envious of him and wanting to marry their daughters to him did not happen.

It's nothing more than taking a look when passing by.

But after seeing clearly that there was a young figure in the car, he withdrew his gaze.

Again, there was no shortage of bicycles in the city during this period, even if most people didn’t own one.

But haven’t you seen pork or seen a pig run?

Just like the cars from the three major German manufacturers in later generations, although most people don’t have one, will they praise this car crazily if they see one on the street?

It is obviously impossible.

There is definitely envy, but to really call it flattery is an exaggeration.

Unless you drove a convertible on the streets of the old city during this period, pedestrians on the road might talk about it a little more.

Of course, it is also possible that they will report you directly.

The Chaoyang masses have never been just the people living in Chaoyang.

At this point in time, the masses are particularly sensitive to enemy spies and the like. If you insist on being different, you will be doing them a disservice if you don't report them.

Chen Guoliang rode his bike for a stroll around Xizhimen, then found a restaurant to have lunch.

Finally, I rode my bike directly out of the city.

At this time, the old city had already begun to implement a trial of unified procurement of daily necessities in rural areas and then unified quantitative supply in cities.

Therefore, no matter where you run in the city, you will definitely not be able to find seeds for sale.

If you want to buy seeds, you have to go to the countryside. And you can't buy too much.

After all, you are a city dweller, why would you buy so many seeds?

Even if you have some land in the city, how much seeds can you need?

It’s acceptable to buy a little bit.

If you buy too much, the peasants will treat you as an enemy spy.

However, the way they handle it is not as simple as that held by city people.

It is very likely that they would just tie you up first, beat you up, and then take you to the commune.

As long as you are not beaten to death, you have no place to seek justice.

Even if they were beaten to death, it would be difficult to deal with them.

However, Chen Guoliang did not encounter any trouble this time, mainly because he asked for little in each place, just one or two taels.

After going to many places, I finally collected all the seeds I wanted.

By the time he returned to the yard, it was almost dark.

Riding the bike on the street didn't cause much of a stir, but it was a different story when he pushed the bike back into the yard.

No one knows the people outside. I don’t feel anything when I see them.

But Chen Guoliang is different. This is their neighbor! How can he be treated the same as outsiders?

Chen Guoliang was pushing the cart, and as soon as he stepped into the gate with his left foot, he was seen by the door god Yan Bugui.

This is the first bicycle in the yard!

At this point in time, even Yan Bugui hadn't bought a bicycle yet, let alone He Yushui's bicycle.

Moreover, judging from Sha Zhu’s current condition, He Yushui’s bicycle is probably in trouble too.

Moreover, the person who bought the car was not someone else, but a young boy.

This made the people in the hospital extremely envious and jealous.

After all, they worked diligently every day and didn't dare to buy a bicycle. On the contrary, Chen Guoliang, a boy who was still in school, bought a bicycle faster than everyone else.

After briefly responding to Yan Bugui's question, Chen Guoliang pushed the cart towards the backyard.

Along the way, the residents in the compound were pointing at him.

There was both envy and jealousy on his face.

Yan Bugui's expression was even more complicated.

He had been eyeing the second-hand bikes in the Trust shop a month earlier.

However, after looking for a month, he still couldn't find a used car that satisfied him.

Either the price is right but the car is not in good condition, or the condition is good but the price is not right.

Anyway, after going around in circles for a month, he still didn't get the bicycle he had planned.

Now, seeing the envious eyes of the people in the courtyard looking at Chen Guoliang, Yan Bugui couldn't help but feel mixed emotions.

If I had known this, why would I have bothered so much about the difference of ten or twenty thousand?

If he had bought it earlier, wouldn't he be the envy of everyone in the hospital now?

Now that he has a bicycle, will he be respected by the people in the courtyard?

You have to know that he is the liaison officer of the hospital. With the respect of these people, he can have more say in the hospital.

Yan Bugui is not like the Liu family members who are brainless and obsessed with power.

On the contrary, he is a pure pragmatist.

He wanted a greater say in the hospital, not to show off like Liu Haizhong, or to provide for his retirement like Yi Zhonghai.

He just wanted to take advantage of the little thing just now.

After his prestige is high, he will wait for people in the courtyard to return home at the gate every day like he does now, and then greet them. If the opponent has nothing in his hand, it's fine. But if he has something, would he have the nerve to be stingy because of his prestige?

This is obviously impossible.

Yan Bugui couldn't help but think.

When she arrived at the central courtyard, the laundry girl was still working hard at the sink. She couldn't help but widen her eyes when she saw the bicycle that Chen Guoliang pushed back.

Jia Dongxu was indeed Jia Zhang's biological son. At this moment, he was lying on the windowsill, muttering to himself and cursing at Chen Guoliang in a low voice.

"This Chen Guoliang is simply not a human being. He is still in school, but he bought a bicycle. The same thing happened to Liu Li. She only earned a few dollars, but she gave it to Chen Guoliang to squander.

Instead of buying me a bicycle, why not lend me one? If that doesn't work, you can just treat me to a few more meals of meat!

This little bastard deserves it for being without a father since childhood. If he continues like this, I think he will become a family extinct sooner or later."

Jia Dongxu cursed so hard in his voice that he completely forgot that his father had also died when he was young.

As for asking Chen Guoliang to treat him to meat, that was even more ridiculous. Among those who had beaten Chen Guoliang's original body before, although Sha Zhu's attack was not heavy, it was still less frequent!

Among all the people in the courtyard, Jia Dongxu was the one who beat people the most, and like Sha Zhu, he also hit people without restraint.

The more Jia Dongxu thought about it, the angrier he became. Moreover, after Chen Guoliang left in the morning, people from the Public Security Bureau and the Street Office came to announce the decision on how to deal with Jia Zhangshi, Yi Zhonghai, and Sha Zhu.

Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi were detained for 14 days for provoking disturbances, while Sha Zhu's sentence was a bit lighter, 7 days.

The reason is that Sha Zhu really doesn't know anything, but he wants to beat up Chen Guoliang just because of Yi Zhonghai's words. He is definitely a fool.

The public security bureau was a little at a loss as to what to do with people like him.

When these two things happened together, Jia Dongxu felt like his lungs were about to explode because of Chen Guoliang's anger.

Then, he stopped leaning on the window sill and cursing in secret.

Instead, he rushed out of the house.

"Chen Guoliang, give me back my bicycle."

When Jia Dongxu said this, not only Chen Guoliang was confused, but even the neighbor who was admiring Chen Guoliang's bicycle in the yard was also confused.

What the hell? When did this become your bicycle?
