Siheyuan: Wang Bo's Happy Life

Chapter 14: First Encounter with Lou Xiao'e

That evening, Wang Bo excitedly rode his tricycle directly back to the courtyard. The tricycle caused a sensation in the entire courtyard.

At this time, in the courtyard, only Xu Damao in the backyard had a bicycle, which was his means of transportation to the countryside to show movies. Wang Bo, a poor boy without a job, suddenly bought a bicycle, which made the neighbors in the courtyard envious.

"Oh, that's great. Xiaobo will be the boss in the future."

"From now on, we don't have to go out and find a car to move things in our compound. We can just come to Xiaobo."

"Look at the wheels and the frame. There's not a scratch on them. Even the tires are new. Xiaobo really got a good deal this time."

"Xiaobo, you got a car without making any noise, that's great. Uncle San really looked down on you. You are much better than the other kids in our compound."

Yan Fugui also looked at Wang Bo's car with envy. As the third uncle in the compound and a glorious people's teacher, he should have had a bicycle long ago, but now it was confirmed that a poor boy had got there first.

"Uncle, you are flattering me. I borrowed a lot to buy this second-hand car. I will rely on it to pay off my hunger in the next two years. Besides, Jie Cheng is working now. If my family wants to buy a car, it will be easy for us."

Wang Bo also said politely that Yan Bugui's family was a small business owner before liberation, and now that he has an extra salary, he has the confidence to speak.

But it’s not time to get off work yet, why is Yan Fugui back?

"This car will be as good as new after cleaning it up."

"I will tidy up at home for the next few days, and then go out to work after everything is done."

Everyone was chatting when the steel rolling mill reached the end of its shift. Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong returned to the courtyard while chatting.

The two were very surprised when they saw the tricycle Wang Bo bought. Yi Zhonghai was lucky because he had a wealthy family and a car was not something he would be interested in.

Liu Haizhong is different. Although he is a level 7 fitter and has a good salary, there are many people in his family. His three sons eat more than pigs and have a lot of expenses, so he doesn't save much money.

Looking at Wang Bo's tricycle, Liu Haizhong felt a little jealous. "Wang Bo bought a tricycle? Not bad, not bad. You can also ride a second-hand one. If there is any moving work in our compound in the future, you have to help."

Wang Bo exclaimed in his heart, wow, I haven't even opened my business yet, but you've already arranged this for me, asking me to work for the compound for free. Liu Haizhong, how did you, a fat guy, learn moral kidnapping from Yi Zhonghai?

Wang Bo was not polite to him, "Old Liu, look at what you said, the neighbors are helping me by taking care of my business, I will definitely help, and I will give everyone a 20% discount when the time comes."

When Liu Haizhong heard Wang Bo calling him Lao Liu, he was so angry that his teeth were itching. He wanted to argue with Wang Bo, but was afraid that others would say he was making a big deal out of nothing.

Sha Zhu and Xu Damao walked into the courtyard while arguing, and they also saw the tricycle surrounded by the crowd.

Sha Zhu looked around carefully and praised, "Not bad, Wang Bo, this tricycle is about 80% new. You can wipe it front and back, add some oil, and use it to transport people and goods."

"I have to thank you, Shazhu. If you hadn't lent me the money, I wouldn't be able to afford it. You are the most generous among this group of young people."

Wang Bo also praised Sha Zhu. This kid loves to hear this the most. He becomes extremely happy when he is praised.

Sha Zhu was grinning from ear to ear, but he still said modestly, "No, no, we are neighbors. You asked me for help, how can I not help you?"

Hearing what Sha Zhu said, many people's eyes lit up. Sha Zhu is raising a younger sister alone, has three rooms, has a good salary, and is also a cook. Isn't he definitely a first-generation rich?

Besides, if you can lend it to Wang Bo, why can’t you lend it to me? If you lend it to me, then it’s mine, right? It’s all mine, why should I return it to you?

Yi Zhonghai was more satisfied with Sha Zhu's righteous performance and felt that he was much better than Jia Dongxu.

"It's just a tricycle, a second-hand one at that. I rode a two-wheeler a few years ago. You have such a low standard."

The voice from that duck-like voice was obviously Xu Damao. He looked at the tricycle with disdain and patted his bicycle with his hand.

Before Wang Bo could say anything, his enemy Sha Zhu spoke first, "Come on, this bike was given to you by your company. If you don't ride it to show movies, the factory will take it back tomorrow."

Hearing Sha Zhu expose his past in public, Xu Damao was immediately furious, "So what if it's issued by the company? You're just a poor cook and you don't have anything. At least my buddy doesn't have to walk to work. Isn't that infuriating?"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the young and old people working in the steel rolling mill stared at Xu Damao; they also walked to work.

Xu Damao also knew that what he said had offended people, so he snorted and left while pushing his bicycle.

It was getting late, and the excitement of the crowd gradually faded. Wang Bo took out a chain and a padlock from the house, and locked the tricycle before he felt relieved.

These days, there are too many cases of cars being stolen. If you don't lock your car, it will be gone in a blink of an eye. Fortunately, the tricycle was parked in the compound, otherwise Wang Bo would have wanted to sleep in the car.

The next day was the weekend, and the spring breeze in Beijing was a little hot. Wang Bo changed into a single layer of clothes, took a basin of water, and carefully wiped the tricycle.

Just as Wang Bo was working hard, a woman's voice came from the door.

"Hello, does Xu Damao live in this compound?"

Wang Bo looked back and saw a fair-skinned, noble-looking girl pushing a bicycle and asking Wang Bo with a smile.

"you are?"

"My name is Lou Xiao'e, and I'm Xu Damao's friend."

Wang Bo looked at the younger version of Lou Xiao'e in front of him. She was indeed good-looking and had a good personality, but her face was a little square. Was she in contact with Xu Damao?

"Sister, do you know Xu Damao? He is not a good person."

To be honest, Lou Xiao'e is still a good person in the TV series, and Wang Bo doesn't want her to fall into Xu Damao's den again.

Even if we can't stop him, he will still cause trouble for Xu Damao. It's because he talked nonsense yesterday. Our retaliation is so quick.

"How can you curse like that? I don't know him very well, but my parents say he's okay. Why don't they let us get in touch with him?"

"You don't believe me? Well, I'll find someone to talk to you about it."

After Wang Bo and Lou Xiao'e finished talking, they turned around and shouted into the courtyard: "Yan Jiecheng! Jiecheng! Someone is looking for you!"

Then Wang Bo explained to Lou Xiaoe: "You don't believe what I say, a young man. This guy is a few years older than me. Listen to what he says."

"Wang Bo, what are you shouting about?"

Yan Jiecheng's impatient voice came from the yard. When he came out and saw Lou Xiao'e, his face suddenly lit up, "Hey, comrade, are you looking for me?
