Rebirth of Siheyuan: Starting from escaping famine in 42

After the college entrance examination, Li Qingfeng no longer had to go to work at the police station. He just had to wait at home to receive the admission letter.

In order to make it more convenient for school vacations and going home on weekdays, Li Qingfeng was thinking about buying a bicycle!

Now is not the time when you need tickets to buy things. Buy it now to avoid the difficulty of buying things with tickets later. I will discuss it with Wu Lirong in the evening.

After dinner in the evening.

Li Qingfeng lay on the kang, watching Wu Lirong coax the children to sleep, and then he said, "Lirong, do you think we should buy a bicycle? This way it will be more convenient for me to go to school and take a break when I go home?"

Wu Lirong nodded and said, "Sure! Go buy it tomorrow! You don't have to go to work anyway."

"Besides, our family is not short of that little money, and it will be more convenient for you if you buy a bicycle."

"Brother Qingfeng, do you have enough money? If not, I can get you some tomorrow morning?"

Li Qingfeng put his arm around Wu Lirong and replied with a smile: "I have enough money on me, you don't have to give me any more."

Wu Lirong patted Li Qingfeng's arm and whispered, "Brother Qingfeng, don't put pressure on Wei Min."

"fine."

Li Qingfeng said it was okay, but he still stretched out his hand and said, "Lirong, do you want to buy anything? I'll bring it back to you after I buy the bicycle tomorrow."

Wu Lirong thought for a moment after hearing this, then shook her head and replied, "There is no shortage of things at home, there is nothing to buy."

After hearing this, Li Qingfeng thought to himself that the family indeed had no shortage of daily necessities. Suddenly, he remembered that the family did not have a sewing machine and a radio. When he bought a bicycle tomorrow, he would buy them as well. He would not tell Wu Lirong first, but would buy them directly to surprise her brother.

So he said, "I know, Lirong, take a rest!"

"Ok!"

Wu Lirong tightened the blanket around the children and then closed her eyes and went to sleep.

Early the next morning.

After finishing his breakfast, Li Qingfeng said hello to Wu Lirong and Qin Huairu and walked out of the house.

Qin Huairu saw Li Qingfeng go out, but she didn't care. She just thought he went out for a walk. She asked Wu Lirong casually, "Sister Lirong, Brother Qingfeng, are you going out for a walk?"

Wu Lirong was breastfeeding her child. When she heard Qin Huairu's question, she said casually, "No, he went to Fuyuan Commercial to buy a bicycle."

Qin Huairu was surprised to hear this and said, "Really? Sister Lirong."

Wu Lirong replied: "Yes."

Qin Huairu continued to talk to herself: "Then there is a bicycle at home, so it will be convenient for Brother Qingfeng to go home."

Wu Lirong replied: "Yes!"

Li Qingfeng walked out of the alley, lit a cigarette, and walked slowly towards Fuyuan Trading.

Arriving at Fuyuan Trading, Li Qingfeng rushed straight to the bicycle counter and looked at the two bicycles parked alone in the counter.

I turned to the salesperson at the counter and asked, "Hello, how much is the bicycle?"

The salesperson replied: "Which one do you want? Foreign? Or domestic?"

Li Qingfeng asked: "What brands are there?"

The salesperson introduced to Li Qingfeng: "The most famous foreign brands are the "Phoenix Head", "Blue Label" and "Diamond" from the UK and Germany."

“The most famous ones are the Oriental goods ‘Fuji’, ‘Monk’s Hat’, ‘Anchor’ and ‘Chrysanthemum’.”

"British cars are beautiful and light, while the Japanese cars are bulky, but strong and durable."

"There are only two domestic brands: Fei Ge and Yongjiu."

"Both of these domestic bicycles are relatively sturdy and durable."

"Which one do you want?"

Hearing this, Li Qingfeng asked without hesitation, "How much is the permanent one?"

The salesman replied: "185 million yuan for your car lock and a tire pump."

"Ah."

Li Qingfeng took out a stack of money from his pocket, took out 200 million and handed it to the salesperson, smiling and saying, "Here's the money."

The salesperson didn't take it. He wrote something on a piece of paper. After he finished writing, he looked up and said, "We don't accept payments here. I'll give you the receipt. Go over there to pay." After that, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the place where Li Qingfeng had to pay.

"Thank you."

Li Qingfeng took the receipt, walked to the cashier with the money, handed the money and the receipt to the cashier, and said with a smile: "Thank you for the trouble."

"It's okay." The cashier took the money and the receipt and issued the receipt in a short while.

The cashier handed the change and receipt back to Li Qingfeng: "OK."

"Thank you."

Li Qingfeng thanked him and returned to the bicycle counter. He put the receipt on the counter and looked at the bicycle that the salesperson had already prepared.

He reached out and patted the bicycle seat.

solid.

Thick.

durable.

Feeling are three words that describe the character of this bike.

Later, Li Qingfeng spent more than 200 million to buy a sewing machine and a radio, both of which were made in the United States. Domestic radios and sewing machines had to wait another two years before they could be produced and sold.

You don’t need to buy a watch. You can wear an IWC watch on your wrist and still have some space!

Putting everything on the back seat of the bicycle, Li Qingfeng held the radio and sewing machine on the back with one hand and the handlebars with the other, and walked slowly on the street, heading home amid the envious gazes of passers-by.

When he arrived at the door of his house, there were many people around Li Qingfeng. They were all neighbors from the nearby alleys. They were talking non-stop, especially Yan Bugui from Yard No. 95.

He said with envy, "Qingfeng! You must have spent a lot of money on these three items!"

Hearing this, Li Qingfeng replied with a half-truthful smile: "That's right, Teacher Yan. Our family has bought these things, so we have to be frugal for a while."

After hearing what Li Qingfeng said, Yan Bugui didn't believe it at all, and secretly complained in his heart: I don't believe you, don't I know you? You are so cunning.

Thinking this in his heart, he said, "Qingfeng, I'll knock on the door for you."

After saying that, without waiting for Li Qingfeng to reply, Yan Bugui took two nimble steps forward, stretched out his hand to knock on the door, and turned back to smile at Li Qingfeng.

Seeing this, Li Qingfeng shook his head speechlessly.

"Who!"

Wu Lirong opened the door and saw a man wearing glasses who looked familiar. She seemed to have seen him somewhere before, but she couldn't remember where he was, so she asked, "Who are you?"

"I'm Yan Bugui from Yard 95. Your Qingfeng bought a lot of things!"

Yan Bugui moved aside so that Wu Lirong could see Li Qingfeng not far behind him.

"Oh! Oh! Oh!"

Wu Lirong looked over and saw Brother Qingfeng pushing a bicycle with a radio and a sewing machine on the back seat. She hurried over to help him and complained, "Brother Qingfeng, why did you buy so many things? You're just wasting money."

With the help of Wu Lirong and Yan Bugui, Li Qingfeng pushed the bicycle into the yard and fixed the back support.

Smiling, he replied, "These things can be used at home, and you don't have to worry about taking care of the children at home."
