The courtyard: the atmosphere of human life

When Darong grabbed him, the cyclist lost his balance and jumped off the bike.

"What are you doing? You almost fell down."

The person riding the bike was a young man. After getting off the bike, he yelled at Darong angrily.

"Is this car yours?" Darong retorted directly in annoyance.

When the man heard Darong's question, he was stunned. He looked at Darong for a long time without saying anything.

"This car is definitely not mine, but I don't know whose it is. It has been parked in my yard all this time."

"Just admit that it's not yours. I lost the car."

Darong stepped forward and snatched the thing from the young man's hand. Before the young man could react, Darong had already got on the bike and continued walking towards the factory with Xiaoying.

"Hey, hey, hey... stop." The young man ran two steps to catch up with Darong and stopped the sisters.

"If you say it's yours, then it's yours. I said someone forgot it in my yard. What if someone comes looking for it one day?" The young man grabbed the handlebars with both hands, guarding against Darong snatching the bike away again.

"Then why don't you tell me the name of the car and who left it at your house? How could the car be forgotten at your house?"

"I can't say. There was a wedding in my house two days ago, and there were so many people coming and going. I didn't see who put it down." The young man was not the one who stole the car, so he naturally had no guilt in his heart, so he followed Darong to argue.

"Okay, there is a cigarette hole under the seat of this car. Let's go to the mechanic shop and find a wrench to remove it and have a look. If there is a hole, it means this car is mine." Darong said confidently as she looked at the young man in front of her.

"Okay, that's fine."

The young man was a reasonable man. Today was the first day he met the girl. If she was not the owner of the car, it would be impossible for her to tamper with the back of the seat beforehand.

The three of them ignored each other and pushed the cart to the door of the mechanic shop.

After the young man came in, he seemed to be more familiar with the place than Darong. He directly borrowed a wrench and removed the seat in front of Darong.

"Look, this is my sister's car." Xiaoying came forward and pointed to the smoke ring on the back of the seat to show the young man.

"Since it's really yours, I'll give it back to you. This way, even if someone comes to find me in the future, I'll have something to say." The young man looked at Darong and smiled awkwardly.

"Sister E'er, Brother Zhong, what are you two doing here?" Goubangzi heard Darong's voice from the mechanic workshop and quickly ran to the door to greet them.

"Nothing, I'm leaving first."

After saying hello to Goubangzi, Darong got on the bike and took Xiaoying to the bathhouse without saying anything.

"You call her Sister E?"

The young man's name is Zhong Yunxing. He was originally a technician hired by the machine repair class to help repair machines.

"It's not Sister E, it's Sister E'er. Her nickname is Big White Goose, which I gave her." Goubangzi said with a smug smile.

Zhong Yunxing also laughed twice and followed Goubangzi into the machine repair class.

Darong was supposed to be off work today, so she took Xiaoying back to the factory to take a shower. Unexpectedly, they found the lost bicycle. The two sisters took a comfortable shower and returned home talking and laughing.

"Hey? Sister, is this bike... the one that was lost?" As soon as the third brother entered the yard, he saw the bicycle in the yard and shouted loudly to Darong in the inner room.

"Yes, it's the one our sister lost." Xiaoying excitedly told the third brother the whole process of getting the car back.

"Awesome, sister, you are so awesome. Are you so sure that this car is yours? What if it was dented by itself?" The third brother gave Darong a thumbs up in amazement.

"If I admit the wrong thing, I'll feel sorry for it. But if I admit the right thing, I'll get it back." Darong replied to the third brother happily.

A bicycle that had been lost was found again in an unexpected encounter. Darong did not expect that her acquaintance with Zhong Yunxing was just the beginning.

"Woooooooo..."

Darong had just picked up some cabbage in the yard when she heard Xiaoying sobbing from outside the door.

When Darong turned around, Xiaoying, who had just returned to school, just stepped into the gate.

"What's wrong, Xiaoying? Are you bullied again?" Darong asked quickly as she looked at Xiaoying who was sobbing.

"No, sister, I failed the exam..." After saying that, Xiaoying could no longer hold back and burst into tears.

"It's okay, it's okay. I thought something went wrong. If you didn't pass, you didn't pass. Just try harder next time." When Darong heard that this was the reason, she felt relieved and comforted Xiaoying with a smile.

Darong and her siblings were not destined to study. Darong herself failed to get into a key high school, and her two younger brothers didn't even make it to high school. When it came to Xiaoying, her family had seen through her situation and never put too much pressure on her to study.

Xiaoying's grades have always been mediocre, and she sometimes fails exams. I don't know why she is so emotional today.

Darong didn't ask any further questions. After comforting Xiaoying for a while, she went to the kitchen to cook.

The rice was not out of the pot yet, but Xiaoying was ready to go out with a gloomy face and a cloth bag in her arms.

"Xiaoying, where are you going?" Darong stuck her head out and called out to Xiaoying who had just arrived at the door.

"I'll go give Mei Zi the notebook." Xiaoying said this and her tears began to fall again.

"I'm giving you a notebook, so why are you crying again? Your face is chapped. Okay, it's not a big deal. Our mother never scolded you about studying. Stop crying." Darong saw that she was crying all the time and spoke to her with a somewhat critical tone.

"Sister, you don't know, I felt like I did everything right during the exam. I told Mei Zi that I would definitely get 90 points this time, and she said that if I couldn't get 90 points, she would give her my newly bought notebook and stickers, wuwuwu... I agreed... wuwuwu..."

So how important is it whether you pass or fail? All those scripts that I saved up money to buy are now lost.

After Xiaoying left, Darong found it funnier and funnier the more she thought about it. Children are just children, they are really simple and cute.

"What are you laughing at, sister?" As soon as Sibei entered the room, he saw Darong, who was smiling with her head down in the kitchen.

"Are you back? Where's Xiaoying?"

Darong repeated Xiaoying's bet to Sibei, who also laughed.

"It just so happens that I just got paid, so I'll buy her some more. I'll even give it to her if she's willing to admit her defeat. It's not easy for our sister to be so stingy."

"You are the stingy one, you are the stingiest one. My sister always gives me pocket money, but you never give me any, humph!"

"Hahaha...Okay, okay, I'm the stingy one. I won't give you any pocket money. I'll buy my own delicious food. I won't show you the stickers I bought. I won't let you use the notebooks I bought..."

Sibei'er was shaking the salary in his hand back and forth, and Xiaoying was so angry that she stomped her feet.
