59 years after its opening, people are still in Nanluoguxiang.

"I didn't realize you were so attentive."

Lou Xiao'e did not refuse and signed two IOUs, one for each of them. She had not intended to mention it, it was just a small matter, and she believed that Chen Feng would not default on the payment for a few ducks.

However, Chen Feng did not think so. As long as he kept the IOU, he could use it to explain the situation if someone reported it in the future.

Several adults watched them trade.

"Dad, is Xiaofeng changing his bicycle?"

Chen Jianjun looked at them signing on the bicycles with a dazed look on his face.

"Your eyesight is pretty good, didn't you see it?" the old man retorted to him.

To be honest, it's not that they didn't have the money to entrust a store to buy a second-hand bicycle, but the old man clearly divided his money and his sons' money. The old man had money, but his two sons had no money.

Chen Jianjun gave part of his salary to the widows and children of his fallen comrades, and part to the Zhou family, and he himself lived very tightly every month.

Chen Jianguo doesn't need to send it when the time comes, but he likes to make friends with all kinds of people in the city, and this costs money.

"Thank you, uncle. I'm leaving now. I'll ask Ah Si to come get it next week."

Lou Xiao'e put mandarin ducks and wild ducks in the fish bucket. Chen Jianjun couldn't bear it and specially changed it to a bamboo basket for her.

"Okay!" Chen Feng replied sparingly.

Wait until Lou Xiao'e leaves.

Chen Jianjun touched the bicycle and said, "Xiao Feng, let's make a deal. You are studying at home now and don't have to go to class. At most, you go fishing in the park. You won't be able to use the bicycle at all. Why don't you let me use it?"

“No!”*2.

Before Chen Feng could say anything, Chen Hao and Chen Li held their bicycles and objected.

"Dad, I want to ride!"

"Me too!"

"What are you two doing on bikes?"

Chen Jianjun felt helpless. The consequence of being a good father for so long was that his two children were not afraid of him.

"Riding a bicycle is so cool!" Chen Hao said loudly.

At this time, if you ride a bicycle on the street, the neighborhood kids will be envious to death.

When he thought of this, Chen Hao was reluctant to let go and decided to keep his elder brother's things.

The little girl followed suit and was simply fooling around following her second brother.

Chen Feng didn't have much preference for bicycles, he just didn't want to walk on his own two legs.

"Dad, take it if you want to use it."

Chen Jianjun patted Chen Hao and Chen Li on the head and said with a smile: "Look at your eldest brother, then look at you, Daddy loved you in vain."

He grabbed the little girl and put her in the back seat.

The little girl was immediately happy. She grabbed the seat with both hands and pedaled non-stop.

"Dad, run, run."

Chen Jianjun pushed the bicycle and took the little girl to the street, and Chen Hao immediately followed.

"Jianjun, dinner will be ready soon, where are you going?" Zhou Qing came out and shouted.

"Come back soon and go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy something to celebrate."

With the help of his son's well water, Chen Jianjun caught a lot of fish in Tianjin and earned nearly one hundred yuan. Now that he had some money and some bills, he planned to reward his whole family.

Chen Feng had nothing to do, so he went to the kitchen to help process the pickled fish he brought back.

Hang the fish with a hook on a horizontal bamboo pole and wait for it to dry so that it can be stored for a long time.

"How do you know the eldest lady of the Lou family?"

Chen Feng recounted his experience of duck fishing in Beihai.

"Don't have too much contact with her. Your grandfather said that something bad will happen to the Lou family sooner or later." Zhou Qing reminded in a low voice.

Chen Feng nodded.

That’s right. It’s a new era now, and your family still keeps so much money. Isn’t that attracting hatred openly?

Whenever the Chen family eats fish, they would wish to close the windows tightly so that not even a breath of the aroma can leak out.

It would be a miracle if half of the Lou family in the city could survive.

Chen Jianjun walked through the alley with the little girl and a little tail behind him. He bought a lot of good things at the supply and marketing cooperative, such as oil and flour.

At this time, the factory was getting off work and groups of workers were going home. When they saw the bicycle in his hand, they gathered around him.

The little girl waved quickly when she saw an acquaintance.

"Hey, little Lily, you're riding a bike now. Brother Jianjun bought a bicycle. It's Forever, a good brand."

"This is a lady's car, Brother Jianjun, did you buy it for your sister-in-law?"

"Brother Jianjun is such a good man. If my family buys me one, I would be willing to bring him water and food."

"I have to pay for three or four months' wages, and I need a bicycle ticket. I might as well buy something delicious with this money."

Chen Jianjun explained with a smile that his son had exchanged the money from the eldest daughter of the Lou family using the mandarin ducks and mallards he had caught.

"This business is good. I can trade a duck that I didn't cost anything for a brand new bicycle."

Jia Dongxu followed from behind, looking at the bicycle with envy.

At present, no one in the No. 95 compound has bought a bicycle to go to work. Rich people like Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong are reluctant to spend this money, after all, the bicycle ticket is a considerable amount of money.

Jia Dongxu wanted something like that, but he didn't have the money or tickets. As everyone said, it would be better to exchange the money for food to fill his stomach.

"Brother Jianjun, can you lend me your car for two days? I want to take a weekend off and take Huairu back home." Jia Dongxu took out a cigarette and wanted to hand it to Chen Jianjun.

Chen Jianjun took out his cigarette and indicated that he had one.

"I'm afraid that won't work. Xiao Feng got the car in exchange and he treats it as his treasure. You see, I just used it for a while, and he sent Chen Hao out to prevent me from messing around."

The relationship between the Chen family and the No. 95 compound is average, except for Yan Bugui, who is a little closer. After all, Old Yan is the teacher of Chen Feng and Chen Hao, and may even be the little girl's teacher in the future.

He has an average relationship with Jia Dongxu, but is more familiar with Yi Zhonghai.

Although Yi Zhonghai is only a level 7 fitter, which is not as high as level 8, he still has a lot of face in the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

At this time, a large number of engineers and senior technical workers were transferred to the northwest, and level 7 fitters were already the few key technical personnel in the factory.

In addition, Yi Zhonghai is the uncle of Compound No. 95, and has some friendship with the old man who is also the uncle of Compound No. 93.

"Ok."

Jia Dongxu was a little disappointed and embarrassed, but it was understandable.

Normal people rarely lend their bicycles to others unless they are very close friends.

He wanted to borrow the car not as an excuse, but because he really planned to take his wife back to his father-in-law's house. Riding a bicycle would give him a lot of face.

When Chen Jianjun returned with his two children, the news that the Chen family had traded a duck for a bicycle had spread.

Teenagers and young men from the neighborhood came running over to ask about this matter.

"Brother Feng, did you really exchange ten mallards and Miss Lou for this car?"

"Aren't they a few mandarin ducks?"

"Are you stupid? There's only so much meat on a mandarin duck. What's there to exchange it for? It must be a mallard, and a fat one at that."

"Brother Feng, can you ask Miss Lou, I can also catch mallards, I'm willing to exchange twenty for one."

Chen Feng was annoyed and said, "Go ask Chen Hao, he knows everything."
