Chapter 119 Pickled Du Xian
"Since our family moved to the north, we seldom make pickled fresh meat." Ding Qiunan sighed.

Mother Ding agreed. "That's right, the soul of this dish is Jinhua ham. You can see that the ham that Xiao Yan brought over has a firm texture. This is the best of Jinhua ham!"

Xiao Yan asked Hou Ding Qiunan about her university situation with concern, and Ding Qiunan told him that now she is studying at university while working at the same time, and her life is quite fulfilling.

"Nan Nan, you seem to have lost weight recently, eat more." Xiao Yan picked up a few slices of ham and put them in Ding Qiunan's bowl.

"Brother, in a few days, do you know that our main factory and Red Star Factory will be preparing for the May Day performance?"

"I do not know."

"I heard that Yu Haitang from your factory will also participate."

"Oh, I rarely get in touch with her." Xiao Yan said. "You have always liked to sing, and this time you can show your skills."

"Yeah, I'm looking forward to this performance!"

……

Everyone chatted while eating, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Xiao Yan didn't expect that there would be an uproar surrounding the cultural performance, but these are things for later, so I won't go into details here.

**
The next day, Xiao Yan went to the store to buy a new car.

When he came back, he happened to meet Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui noticed Xiao Yan's new car with an envious expression on his face. "Yo, you just bought a car a few days ago, and you bought a new one."

"Well, your eyes are quite sharp."

The unit where Yan Bugui works is a little far from the courtyard house. He is getting old, and it is a bit difficult for him to catch the bus every day.

Yan Bugui lived frugally every day, and managed to save enough money to buy bicycles, but he needed a license to buy a bike, and he didn't have a license. Seeing Xiao Yan buying bikes one after another, he made a tentative statement.

"Xiao Yan, where is your original car?"

Yan Bugui knew that Xiao Yan's car was in new condition and was well maintained, so he wanted to buy his old car; anyway, bicycles are for riding, so what if it's an old car, it saves money and license.

"Oh, I've given away that car."

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Yan turned around and left.

After Yan Pugui had dinner, he was walking in the yard to digest his food, and happened to meet Liu Haizhong chatting with Xiao Yan.

Seeing him, Liu Haizhong's expression changed. "Xiao Yan, shall we chat while walking?"

A playful smile appeared on Xiao Yan's face. "OK."

Yan Bugui looked at their backs as they went away, feeling uneasy in his heart. "Too bad, Liu Haizhong must be talking to Xiao Yan about buying a bicycle. If I don't make a move, it will be too late!"

Yan Bugui knows that only Xiao Yan has a bicycle in the yard now, considering Xiao Yan's conditions, it is normal to have a bicycle; but if Liu Haizhong has a bicycle and Yan Pugui does not, Liu Haizhong can be in front of Yan Pugui Show off.

Yan Bugui was annoyed when he thought of Liu Haizhong's hideous face. "No, no matter what, I want to get ahead of Liu Haizhong and own a bicycle of my own."

At eight o'clock in the evening, Yan Bugui came to Xiao Yan with a bottle of wine and a bag of peanuts.

"Teacher Yan, please come in."

Yan Bugui got straight to the point. "I'm here this time to ask you something."

Xiao Yan responded with a playful look on his face. "What's up?"

"Do you still have a bicycle ticket?" Yan Bugui asked.

"I still have a ticket in my hand. If you don't tell lies in front of the real person, Liu Haizhong has to think about it. He has mentioned it to me several times and asked me to leave the ticket to him." Xiao Yan responded.

"Hey, Liu Haizhong thought he was the team leader. He's just an ordinary worker now, why put on airs; besides, the distance between the yard and the factory is very short, and it won't take long to walk." Yan Bugui requested . "It's not like me. I have to walk a long way to the bus station every day. You should leave the ticket to me."

Xiao Yan smiled without saying a word.

"Don't worry, I don't ask you to help me for nothing. There is a teacher Ran Qiuye in our school. How about I introduce her to you?" Yan Bugui said tentatively.

"No need, Ding Qiunan and I have a very good relationship. We will get married when she finishes college."

"Hey, you're just engaged, and you haven't got a marriage certificate." Yan Bugui persuaded. "Besides, marriage is a major event in life. Before you rush to get married, it's normal to have more girlfriends."

Xiao Yan said seriously. "Mr. Yan, you still don't understand me. Once I choose Ding Qiunan, I won't consider other women as my wife."

It is true that Xiao Yan had sex with Qin Jingru, Lou Xiao'e and others; but he and they all understood that sometimes it is inevitable for men to play tricks on the spot.

They could not shake Ding Qiunan's position in Xiao Yan's heart.

Yan Bugui always likes to take advantage of small advantages, so he is going to continue persuading Xiao Yan. "Ran Qiuye came from a family of intellectuals, and he is well-versed in books and rituals. His looks are not inferior to Ding Qiunan's. Do you think about it?"

Xiao Yan spent time with him in ink. "You don't need to talk anymore. If you really want a bicycle ticket, the price is 20 yuan. If you want a bicycle, I can buy it back for you, [-] yuan."

Yan Bugui knew that he had to find a workaround. "With food in hand, don't panic in your heart, keep your feet on the ground, and be happy. Shall I take the food stamps to change jobs with you?"

In that era when supplies were tight, food stamps were indeed a hard currency, and it might be exchanged with Yan Bugui for another person; but Xiao Yan's own family's food stamps could not be used up, so why would he want his food stamps.

Xiao Yan shook his head. "No, I just want cash. If you don't use it, I'll leave the ticket to Liu Haizhong."

Xiao Yan refused to give in, but Yan Bugui wanted to buy a bicycle again, so he could only give in obediently; Yan Bugui obediently paid 20 yuan for a bicycle ticket with a helpless expression on his face.

Seeing Yan Bugui enter the door, the three mothers greeted him and asked. "Old Yan, have you got your bike ticket?"

When Xiao Yan watched this drama, he discovered a phenomenon. In the courtyard house, not only men fight each other, but also women compete with each other. Otherwise, why is it called Qinman Courtyard?
Yan Bugui showed the bicycle ticket in his hand to the three moms. "What do you think this is?"

The three moms smiled. "Xiao Yan is indeed a reasonable person."

"Well, a ticket costs [-], and I'm afraid it will cost [-] to buy a brand new bicycle." Yan Bugui, who has always been stingy, felt distressed.

"This account is not calculated like you. Buying a car can improve your commuting problem." The third mother persuaded. "You can overwhelm Liu Haizhong and become the second person in the courtyard to own a bicycle."

"You're right, I'm annoyed when I see Liu Haizhong's face now." Yan Bugui agreed.

"We'll go buy a car first, and we'll figure out how to make the money back later."

"Ok."

The third mother took a fancy to a Fenghuang brand bicycle, Yan Bugui thought it was too expensive, so he took a fancy to a permanent brand bicycle. "Forever is better than Phoenix, for a long time, what a good omen!"

Yan Bugui and Sanma pushed their bicycles around the courtyard, which attracted a lot of discussion.

"Yo, third master, you just bought a car."

"Yeah, third master, you are really low-key, and you can ride a three-eighth bar without making a sound."

Seeing this scene, Liu Haizhong's face was gloomy.

Yan Bugui said loudly in front of him on purpose. "Hey, the car is just a means of transportation. I bought it because it was too far away from the school; it's not like some people don't need a car at all, and they insist on buying a car for 13."
