Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Chapter 28 Bicycle

Since he had promised He Yuzhu in public, he had to implement it. He couldn't let people think he was cheating, which was not in line with his personality!

"Come after dinner, I'll cook right away and it will be ready soon!"

"Forget it, I'll eat outside so that no one can see Sha Zhu waiting for me. Now that you've agreed, just do it quickly!"

Yi Zhonghai was very reluctant, but things had come to this point and there was nothing he could do even if he was reluctant.

"Okay, we must eat breakfast. Shazhu is such an honest kid, and we can't run away!"

Yi Li grumbled in dissatisfaction, and was very dissatisfied with He Yuzhu's behavior of squatting!
"Young man, it's normal to be excited! Forget it, I won't say any more. I'm leaving now!"

Yi Zhonghai shook his head helplessly. He really didn't want to borrow money to buy a bicycle? It wasn't a necessity. If he was late for work, couldn't he get up earlier?

It's hard to be a good person. He didn't expect to be framed by Sha Zhu. He always felt it was weird. That sincere look didn't seem fake.

Could Sha Zhu have such deep scheming? He didn't believe it. Perhaps his usual words and deeds had a greater impact on Sha Zhu!
He would rather believe that a sow can climb a tree than believe that the simple-minded Sha Zhu, who advocates solving problems with violence, would plot against him!

"Silly Zhu, did you ask Liu Haizhong to come and urge me? I am your elder, and since I promised, I will not break my promise. So why are you in such a hurry?"

"Uncle Yi, I know you are a good person. Uncle Liu saw that I didn't go to work, and when he learned that I was waiting for you, he took the initiative to urge you!"

"Ok!"

"Uncle Yi, don't worry, if you need anything in the future, just let me know. I will definitely not refuse anything I can do!"

"it is good!"

Looking at He Yuzhu, whose chest was patted and whose eyes were full of admiration for him, he shook his head. Maybe he was overthinking it!
He found that he was always suspicious recently. Was it because he didn't get enough rest? He watched Sha Zhu grow up, and he thought he knew him well.

Even if He Daqing's departure was a huge shock to him, his nature cannot be changed, so his temperament should not have changed so much, right?

After withdrawing money from the bank and giving it to He Yuzhu, Yi Zhonghai hurried to work. Of course, he had to give some instructions, but as for Xu Damao, he completely ignored him.

He Yuzhu brought the money to the department store. The bicycles now are mainly Forever bicycles, which are the ceiling of domestic bicycles.

At the end of 1949, the trial production of "Forever" brand bicycles was successful, marking the official birth of the domestic brand "Forever" in Yangpu, Shanghai!

Since then, "Forever" brand bicycles have been delivered to all parts of the country with Yangpu as the center!

Phoenix Bicycle is still Tongchang now. It appeared in the public eye in 1958 when the Shanghai Bicycle Factory No. was established through a public-private partnership.

"Forever" is definitely the first choice. The quality of bicycles at that time was excellent. It was said that they could carry hundreds of kilograms of heavy objects. I don't know whether it is true or not, but it is probably not that bad!

"Hello, how much is the Forever bicycle?"

"Are you sure you want a bicycle? Where are your parents?"

The salesperson was inevitably puzzled. Seventeen years old, fifteen years old, and five years old, such a combination coming to buy a bicycle was ridiculous no matter how you looked at it.

Bicycles are large items. Until the 1980s, most families did not have one. This shows how precious bicycles are. They are definitely a "luxury item"!
Only a few people like Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Xu Fugui can afford a siheyuan. Yan Bugui cannot afford it, at least not now!
The children in the family are still young, and there are already three boys, so there are many mouths to feed. However, this old man is calculating. The Yan family is the first family in the courtyard to have bicycles, radios and televisions.

The "three turns and one ring" was the standard configuration for wealthy families until the 1980s and 1990s, so there was a reason why the salesperson dared to believe it.

The current "Eight Major Officials" are not as powerful as they were after 1955. After the public-private partnership, they had jobs that many people envied.

"Yes, sister, I brought all the money!"

He Yuzhu pulled the army green shoulder bag to the front. This was the army green canvas shoulder bag that He Yuzhu had cried and shouted for last year, and he was beaten for it! The salesperson took a glance and saw that they were all 50,000 yuan in denomination, which was the largest denomination at the time. The salesperson looked at He Yuzhu in surprise, not expecting that the young man really came to buy a bicycle.

"We only have Forever brand bicycles here, and they cost 1.58 million. Are you sure you want to buy them?"

"I'm sure, little sis!"

He Yuzhu was a little uncomfortable, but nodded affirmatively.

The salesperson was stunned. What the hell is a little sister? It was the first time someone called her that!

"Pfft!"

She wanted to laugh, but when she saw the innocent He Yuzhu, she held it back!
He Yuzhu regretted calling her "little sister" the moment he saw her. He would be in trouble if people thought he was teasing her.

Later I found that the salesperson seemed very happy and not angry at all, then I realized that this was Internet slang used in later generations and it doesn’t have those messy meanings now!
The salesperson enthusiastically pushed out the bicycle, and He Yuzhu saw that it was already assembled.

Even department stores don’t have many of these big items. There’s only one on display, and the others are probably in the warehouse!
"Thank you, little sister!"

"Hahaha, the little brat is quite good at talking!"

"Hehe, this is the first time I see such a beautiful sister, I can't help myself, please forgive me, little sister!"

"Haha, remember to go to the police station to get your license plate!"

"Okay, bye, miss!"

"goodbye!"

He Yuzhu pushed his bicycle out of the department store. Passersby looked at him in shock when they saw a young boy pushing a brand new bicycle!

Maybe he was wondering which nobleman's child He Yuzhu was, and suddenly he felt like he had lived a hundred years in vain!
"Brother, I want to sit, I want to sit!"

Seeing so many people staring at the bicycle, He Yushui immediately couldn't wait to ride it. As a child, how could she have any bad intentions? She just wanted to show off!

"Good good!"

He Yuzhu smiled and wrapped up the raindrops and put them on the back seat!

"Miss, Miss, Miss..."

Xu Damao kept repeating the word "little sister" like a possessed man, forgetting about the bicycle, as if he was possessed!
"Da Mao, Da Mao!"

"Ah, Zhuzi brother!"

Xu Damao looked at He Yuzhu blankly, not knowing what had happened!
"I've called you several times, are you possessed?"

"Haha, Brother Zhuzi, you are so talented. From now on, you will be my idol. I, Xu Damao, said so!"

"No, what's wrong with you?"

"Brother Zhuzi, I just realized that you are an expert at taking pictures of women. I learned it today. Little sister, little sister, haha..."

He Yuzhu looked at Xu Damao who was dancing with joy, and quickly pushed his bicycle towards the police station. He couldn't afford to lose face in front of this man. This kid was stupid!

The name of police station can be traced back to 1950. In that year, the public security organs changed the previous town office to the public security sub-station as police station, and this name has been used until now without any change!
