Siheyuan: Super Comprehension

"Oh my god! Lao He, where did you get this bicycle?"

"Did you just buy it?"

"Oh my god, this bike is so pretty."

"He's a really good guy."

"Lao He is awesome. He even bought this bicycle. It feels like a new one."

As soon as I returned to the courtyard, such a cool bicycle naturally attracted the attention of many neighbors.

Regardless of whether they were at work or about to go to school, they all hurried out of their houses to watch the fun in the yard.

Some people even started touching it directly.

He immediately began to marvel at it.

Being able to own a bicycle nowadays is similar to owning a Santana in the future.

They are all enviable and drool-worthy existences.

"Wait wait wait...let me see!"

Soon, the stingy man, who heard the noise outside, hurried into the yard. He thought something big had happened.

When he saw the brand new Phoenix bicycle in the yard, his eyes widened immediately.

It feels like a ghost has been summoned.

"Lao He, you went out so early just to buy a bicycle?"

An envious look immediately appeared on the miser's face.

He was really envious to death.

Because according to the miser's idea, he originally wanted to get a bicycle to ride.

First of all, it’s classy.

If there is a bicycle in the courtyard, it can be said to be superior.

Even if you go to work in a school, it can be said to be very impressive.

Because in school only the principal has a bicycle to ride, all other teachers and directors have to pedal.

So if he had a bicycle, wouldn't he be on par with the principal?

It's exciting just thinking about it.

Although this may sound a bit vain, everyone has a little bit of this thought in their heart.

Originally, the miser was considering whether he should buy a second-hand bicycle and use it as a makeshift one.

But when he went to those purchasing stations, he found that a second-hand bicycle cost nearly 100 yuan.

That was really hard for him.

Buy a second-hand one for 100 yuan. No, it should be more than second-hand.

Wouldn't it be better to spend an extra seventy or eighty bucks and buy a brand new one?

This is what the miser thought, but if he wanted to buy a new bicycle, he needed a ticket.

But he had no ticket.

I also feel like buying a second-hand bike is a bit of a loss.

So after all this thinking, it took a long time.

In the end, I could only suppress this thought in my heart.

In fact, even if he had the money in his pocket, he might not be willing to spend it on buying a bicycle.

Now there are seven mouths to feed in the family, and most of them have to rely on his salary to survive.

In addition, my eldest son’s wedding also cost a lot of money, so I don’t have any extra money in my pocket.

Now, seeing that the father and son of the He family went out for a walk, they bought a new bicycle.

That would make even the stingy guy extremely envious.

He immediately began to prepare to try. Looking at the stingy man's look, He Yuzhu knew that the old man must have been coveting it for a long time, but he never had the chance to try it.

So let him give it a try.

The stingy man didn't just put down the rack and ride, but just spun around in place.

"Hua Hua Hua..."

The sound of the metal chain sliding is like the engine in a sports car.

It was simply exciting.

"Good stuff, great stuff, great."

After stepping on it several times, the stingy man exclaimed in praise, with a look of love on his face.

I just wanted to own the bike.

But it's just thought.

"Lao He, Zhuzi, can you lend me this bike for a ride? I promise I won't ride it too often!"

The miser was itching to buy a bicycle, but he couldn't afford it, so he had to shamelessly ask the He father and son for it.

I just want to satisfy my cycling addiction.

"Old Yan... I gave this car to Zhu. You have to ask him."

He Daqing smiled and pointed at He Yuzhu next to him.

Since it is a gift for his own son, the decision is of course made by He Yuzhu.

When others heard this, they realized that the bicycle was a gift from He Daqing to his son.

Everyone couldn't help but curse inwardly.

You are such a bad boy to give such a gift!!!

It seems that being a chef can really make a lot of money.

Everyone knows that He Daqing has been a chef for so many years and should have earned a lot of money.

But I didn't expect that I would give the bicycle directly as a gift to my own son.

Although it is still their own product, do you think any company would dare to do such a thing? Definitely not.

I don’t have the confidence.

At this time, many young people looked at their fathers, wondering when their fathers would be able to be more generous.

Feeling the gazes of their children, the old men quickly lowered their heads and pretended not to see them.

When the stingy man heard that the car was for He Yuzhu, he immediately gave him a thumbs up.

This father is really awesome!

I wonder if He Daqing needs a son of similar age?

Ha ha…

"I want to borrow too, I want to borrow too!"

"Silly Zhu, let me ride this bike too!"

"It would be so cool to ride this bike!"

Everyone wanted to borrow a car.

If I can’t afford to buy it myself, can’t I borrow it?

If you lend it out to show off a little, it would be quite impressive.

As for how to borrow and whether they have to pay something, judging from the looks of these neighbors, they obviously plan to get it for free.

Indeed, once money is involved, everything is different.

But will He Yuzhu let them get it for free?

"Borrow? Of course!" He Yuzhu smiled slightly, seeming very generous.

He Daqing raised his eyebrows.

When everyone heard this, their faces suddenly brightened with joy.

I didn't expect this silly guy to be so generous.

This is a newly bought bicycle. I can lend it to you anytime.

But before they could be happy for long, a basin of cold water was poured on them.

"It's 20 cents per loan! If any parts are damaged during the loan period, you have to pay for all of them."

He Yuzhu finished the second half of his sentence with a smile.

Want to get it for free? No way!

Where do you think this place is, bro?

I haven't even had a chance to enjoy my new bike yet, and you freeloaders are already trying it out.

Dreaming.

To be honest, the neighbors in the courtyard are not necessarily as shameless as the beastly characters in the original novel.

But those who can survive here are not simple characters, and they all have some of these characteristics to a certain extent.

To put it bluntly, take advantage whenever you can.

He Yuzhu has no good face towards these people.

Although we all live in the same place, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and when we meet, we just nod at most.

Who are you?

After setting this rule, He Yuzhu did not feel any psychological burden.

He Daqing beside him nodded secretly.

This silly boy finally showed his wisdom for once.

In his heart, he very much approved of his son's approach.

Who doesn't know how shameless these neighbors are?

Even if you introduce it to others for free, if they get injured while riding their bike, they will probably blame you and ask you to pay for the medical expenses.

So it is best to distance yourself from these people as much as possible.

Even He Daqing would do the same, and even go further.

We are not related at all, so who would care so much about you?

The stingy man's face suddenly turned green.

Two cents per time, damn, that’s too expensive!

It looks like his dream of riding a bike is over.

But when He Daqing came to him and whispered a few words, the stingy man's expression suddenly eased up, and even showed a little surprise.

This old He is really interesting!

He will definitely help with this!

Sure enough, the two old men were plotting something.

He Yuzhu's rules naturally caused dissatisfaction among many neighbors.

This kid is a little too greedy!
