Siheyuan: Pushing Huairu, the Prime Minister admits defeat

Zhang Yunzhen initially wanted to play the exclusive role of a jeep driver, but as soon as he stepped on the accelerator, Li Weijun pulled him down with just one excuse.

"Comrade guards, you are unfamiliar with the place and probably can't find the way to the steel mill. I can drive, so you can sit in the back seat."

Li Weijun couldn't let go of his jeep, so how could he let Zhang Yunzhen ruin it? The passenger seat was reserved for Qin Huairu, Jiang Xifeng and other women, so Zhang Yunzhen and Yi Lei, two rough guys, were naturally not included in that group.

As the saying goes, a BMW goes with a hero. Although riding a Phoenix brand bicycle in the courtyard was already impressive enough, it was always pale in comparison to the jeep.

Riding a Phoenix brand bicycle in the courtyard is considered to be very impressive, but compared with the domineering jeep, it is really a small witch compared to a big witch. After all, clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse, so this good horse naturally needs a good saddle to show its power.

So Li Weijun temporarily parked his previous Phoenix brand bicycle under the eaves of his house so that Qin Huairu could unlock it at any time when she needed it.

However, Qin Huairu was born in a rural family and had little contact with imported products such as bicycles. It would probably take her a while to master the true secret of riding a bicycle, so she would have to be taught personally.

Li Weijun had just started the engine when he saw Sha Zhu, who was bleary-eyed, exhausted and yawning, riding a brand new bicycle towards the courtyard.

It seems that Sha Zhu must have waited in a long line all night in order to buy this bicycle at the department store, and he looks exhausted.

But this did not prevent Sha Zhu from pretending to be cheerful in front of outsiders, and she looked cheerful and comfortable in her dress.

"Oh, I didn't realize you're so rich, you even have a bicycle. This is a Fei Ge brand. Wow, it's a good thing. Although it's not as good as the big Phoenix brands, it has two wheels after all. It's much more impressive than those of us who can do things on foot."

Some neighbors passing by saw that Sha Zhu had upgraded his fortune, and besides being envious, they also wanted to congratulate him. Everyone knew that Sha Zhu, as the foreman of the kitchen team at the steel rolling mill, had been cooking private meals for the mill's leaders over the years, and his savings, including wages and gifts, far exceeded those of ordinary workers.

It can even be said that if it weren't for the bottomless pit of the Jia family, Sha Zhu might have already ridden a bicycle and become one of the few people in Nanluoguxiang who can own a car.

"Hey, Old Chen, I just love to hear you talk. Although our Fei Ge brand bicycle is not as good as the Phoenix brand, it is at least brand new. It is much better than some people riding a broken bicycle to show off."

Sha Zhu's words had a hidden meaning, and his implicit meaning was to mock Yan Bugui.

Just at this time, the third uncle who was riding a bicycle to go to work at Hongxing Primary School met him unexpectedly. With a steamed bun in his mouth, he looked at Sha Zhu's Fei Ge brand bicycle with great interest.

Previously, in order to take revenge on the Third Uncle for not introducing Ran Qiuye to him, Sha Zhu secretly sold the Third Uncle's wheel.

There is nothing new under the same roof. The third uncle who couldn't find the wheel knew with his toes that it was Sha Zhu's fault. After failing to get it back from Sha Zhu, he parted on bad terms and the two became enemies.

So taking this opportunity, the third uncle would definitely make some sarcastic remarks.

"Oh, silly Zhu, you are incredible. I haven't seen you for a night, and you're even riding a bicycle. Tsk, tsk, this big-bar bicycle must be expensive. Listen to your uncle's advice, wear shoes that fit your feet. Don't let vanity get in the way and strain your wallet."

Sha Zhu turned a deaf ear to this and sneered: "I lost money on this bicycle. How can it compare to the second-hand bicycle of Uncle San? Uncle San knows how to be frugal. He buys second-hand everything, including flashlights, radios, and bicycles. I guess he can save a lot of money throughout the year, right?"

"I just don't know what the three aunts are..."

Sha Zhu spoke just enough, which made the pedantic uncle so angry that his face turned blue and red. In addition, he had to wait for work to report, so he waved his sleeves angrily and rode away with a gloomy face.

Li Weijun was a little amused and helpless when he saw these two funny guys making fun of him so early in the morning.

There is a lot of joy in the courtyard, although they are all trivial things, but as a fun and interesting thing, it can also be a place for entertainment.

Li Weijun drove the jeep and skillfully passed through the narrow alleys. The neighbors passing by were as envious as Sha Zhu.

If you could have a bicycle in those days, it would be like driving a Mercedes-Benz in later generations. If you could drive a jeep, the visual impact it brought was no less than that of a rear-view helicopter.

This can no longer be described and measured by wealth. The special meaning behind it is worth pondering.

In short, snobbery is common in all eras. Admiration for the strong is engraved in human genes. No one wants to be a weak person. After becoming strong, the people you meet are always kind and gentle, as if all the evil has disappeared.

Li Weijun has a deep understanding of this. When he was an apprentice projectionist, basically no one in the entire Nanluoguxiang paid any attention to him.

After a while, when I was working as a projectionist in the steel rolling mill riding that Phoenix brand bicycle, the neighbors in Nanluoguxiang began to smile on their faces, and we would talk and laugh when we met each other.

Now that Li Weijun is driving this jeep, basically no one dares to look at Li Weijun straight in the eye. Only after the car has moved past will people dare to look up at the body of the car.

The most vivid example is Sha Zhu. Sha Zhu was originally immersed in the joy of getting a bicycle, but his joy did not last long. He saw the jeep driven by Li Weijun swaggering away from Nanluoguxiang amid the exclamations of everyone.

For no reason, Sha Zhu felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart. He felt that being able to afford a bicycle was nothing. A real man would ride in a car, preferably with a dedicated driver. It would be so cool to travel like Li Huaide, surrounded by people.

While Sha Zhu was daydreaming, Xu Damao, who was also pushing a bicycle, was preparing to report for work at the steel rolling mill.

During the time when Li Weijun went to Shanghai to purchase internal reference films, Xu Damao worked part-time and lived a very carefree life. His father was a projectionist in a movie theater, and he was a projectionist in the Propaganda Department. Through his work, he got to know many helpful leaders.

Every day, apart from drinking tea and reading newspapers at work, I look forward to being summoned by the leader, and try my best to take advantage of this time to make my presence felt.
