Siheyuan: If you have the butcher's knife in your hand, let's try again.

"Everything I say is true, you have to believe me..."

Jia Dongxu was not convinced and kept defending.

However, Deputy Director Zhang simply couldn't listen to what he said.

"You should leave quickly. If you don't leave, I will call the police!"

When he said this, Jia Dongxu stopped making noise in front of him.

So he left in despair.

The first time he borrowed a bicycle failed, Jia Dongxu felt very depressed.

He didn't tell me he didn't borrow it, and he was regarded as a liar.

If I had known earlier, I would have brought my work ID with me to prove my identity.

Although he was very frustrated, Jia Dongxu didn't just go home like this.

If he goes back like this, he will be disliked by Qin Huairu.

He also had to go to the next house and ask other leaders if he could borrow a bicycle.

If the first one doesn't work, go to the second one, and if the second one doesn't work, go to the third one.

Anyway, I have to borrow a bicycle before I give up.

Jia Dongxu walked for about [-] minutes and arrived at Section Chief Wang's home.

Because he had this first experience, he was not as nervous as he was the first time.

He knocked on the door of Section Chief Wang's house.

It was not Section Chief Wang who opened the door, but his wife.

His wife asked: "Hello, who are you looking for?"

Jia Dongxu said: "Is Section Chief Wang at home?"

His wife said: "He has gone out and is not at home. If you have anything to do with him, please come in and wait for a while."

Jia Dongxu tilted his head and glanced inside the house, but didn't see the bicycle.

Asked: "Did he ride the bicycle away? When will he come back?"

Section Chief Wang’s wife thought Jia Dongxu was doing something strange.

Aren't you looking for someone else? Why do you care about his bicycle coming?

However, you are a customer when you come to your door.

Although he thought Jia Dongxu was a little strange, he still told him the actual situation.

"He went out on a bicycle, I can't say when."

"Sometimes I come back earlier and come back in half an hour. Sometimes I come back later and come back very late."

"He has something to do outside, and I can't tell when he will come back."

Since Section Chief Wang's wife said so, Jia Dongxu decided not to wait any longer.

If you come back very late at night, you will have to wait for a long time.

Anyway, there are other people besides him who have bicycles.

There is no need to hang him alone.

Jia Dongxu said: "Well, I won't wait for him anymore and will leave now."

So, Jia Dongxu left Chief Wang's house and went to the next house.

After failing to borrow a bicycle twice in a row, Jia Dongxu's mood became gloomier again.

But there is no other way but to borrow a bicycle from the next store.

If you give up now, there will be no hope at all.

The next person was Section Chief Ma, who was not at home either.

It was also his wife who opened the door.

Jia Dongxu explained his purpose of coming, and Section Chief Ma’s wife said:

"What a coincidence, he just left."

"If you had come five minutes earlier, you could have seen him."

Jia Dongxu came not to meet anyone, but to borrow a car.

It doesn't matter whether the person is at home or not, as long as the car is at home.

Coincidentally, Chief Ma's car was at home and Jia Dongxu saw it.

He was overjoyed, maybe he could borrow it this time.

So, he said to Section Chief Ma’s wife:

"It's like this. My child is sick and wants to ride a bicycle."

"But our family is poor and cannot afford a bicycle."

“My child saw other people riding bicycles very impressively and wanted to ride one too.”

"If I could lend him a bicycle for a ride, his condition would be greatly improved."

When Jia Dongxu said this, Section Chief Ma's wife was very embarrassed.

Although she believed that what Jia Dongxu said was true.

But I still can't lend him the car easily.

Ma Ke also bought this car after saving money for a long time.

Section Chief Ma usually takes good care of him.

I scrub it every two days, it will be very distressing if I scratch it.

If you lend it to someone else, let alone a stranger.

Although Jia Dongxu and Section Chief Ma work in the same factory, they don't know each other at all.

In the eyes of his wife, he is a stranger.

If it gets damaged if it is lent to a stranger, Section Chief Ma will be furious if he finds out.

Chief Ma’s wife can’t decide whether to borrow the car or not.

We have to wait until Chief Ma comes back to decide.

"After all, the bike belongs to him, and I can't make the decision."

"Just wait for him and ask him personally when he comes back."

"He has the final say whether to borrow it or not."

I have to wait for someone to come home again.

Jia Dongxu didn't want to wait at all.

Moreover, from his wife's tone, it seemed that she didn't want to borrow the bicycle at all.

Jia Dongxu estimated that even if Chief Ma had to wait.

He won't borrow it either.

Because his wife's attitude is like this, he is not much better.

"Forget it, I'll look elsewhere."

So Jia Dongxu left.

Chief Ma's wife also breathed a sigh of relief.

She really didn't want to lend her bicycle to Jia Dongxu.

I don’t know him, and I don’t care whether his child is sick or not, and whether he really needs to rely on bicycles for treatment.

She doesn't care.

It was the third one and he couldn't borrow it. Jia Dongxu was really frustrated to the extreme.

Really unlucky.

But no matter what, you still have to bite the bullet.

So he went to the next house with resentment.

The next person with a bicycle is called Deputy Director Li.

When he came to the alley where Deputy Director Li lived, he saw someone teaching children to ride bicycles.

Jia Dongxu estimated that this might be Deputy Director Li.

So he walked up and asked, "Hello, are you Deputy Director Li?"

Deputy Director Li looked back at Jia Dongxu and said, "I am, are you?"

Jia Dongxu said hurriedly: "I work in the same factory as you, and I have something to do with you."

Deputy Director Li is quite generous.

Since they are from the same factory, there is no need to be wary.

"I don't think I've seen you in the factory. What do you want from me?"

Deputy Factory Director Li is different from the others Jia Dongxu has interacted with before, giving people a feeling of generosity and gentleness.

This made Jia Dongxu treat him very well.

I thought it was very possible to borrow a bicycle from him.

So, Jia Dongxu deliberately put on a miserable face and told Deputy Director Li about his affairs.

"My child hasn't been acting normally lately."

"I couldn't eat well, couldn't sleep, and my mental state was very bad."

"When I asked him what was going on, he didn't say anything. He just wanted to ride a bicycle."

"Said riding a bicycle will make you feel better."

"Although we parents think what he said is nonsense."

"But since there is no other way to make him better, we are still going to try this method."

"However, our family was too poor to afford a bicycle, so I came out to lend him a bicycle to ride on."

"I borrowed from three companies, but couldn't get it. You are the fourth one."

"This is the situation. I would like to borrow your bicycle for my child to ride."

"I hope you can lend it to me."

Jia Dongxu told the truth, and Deputy Factory Director Li felt very sympathetic after hearing his experience.

Deputy Director Li also has a son who also loves riding bicycles.

Whenever he had free time, he would pester Deputy Director Li to learn how to drive with him.

If they disagree, they will get angry and stop eating, or even cry and roll on the ground.

He can understand Jia Dongxu's feelings as a parent.
