In the No. 95 courtyard, the third uncle pulled Yi Zhonghai who had just returned and asked, "Old Yi, can you help me get a bicycle ticket? I want to buy a bicycle recently so that I can go to work more conveniently."

Yi Zhonghai sighed and replied, "Old Yan, I want to buy one now. Who knew that I would have to queue up to buy a bicycle this year? They said that the bicycles are out of stock. There are too many people buying bicycles and they can't supply them at all."

Yan Fugui replied: "Who says it's not true? Nowadays, you need a channel to buy a bicycle. I asked our principal about the bicycle ticket. He said he only had one and gave it to our school's discipline director, and told me to wait until next year."

Yi Zhonghai said, "Old Yi, the sewing ticket is easy to get, but you don't know that the bicycle ticket has been sold for 25 yuan in our factory, but no one is buying it."

Yan Fugui sighed and said, "When those families in the compound bought bicycles, I had the idea of ​​buying a bicycle. I was planning to buy one next year, but now this situation has occurred. A bicycle ticket is equivalent to my monthly salary. Isn't this going to kill me? Lao Yi, I know you have many connections. Ask if you can get a bicycle ticket. I will give you any amount of money."

Yi Zhonghai said, "Old Yan, I really want to buy a bicycle too. Dongxu asked me if I could get a bicycle ticket some time ago. He also wants to buy one. I won't say anything more. If you want to buy a bicycle ticket, you should find a way yourself. I'll go back first."

Yan Fugui watched Yi Zhonghai walk away, turned around and asked, "Xie Cheng, your master said that he and Jia Dongxu also want to buy bicycles, is that true?"

Yan Jiecheng said, "It's true, Dad. You don't know that Second Uncle, Xu Fugui, and Xu Damao all work in the same field. Whether they ride bicycles to work or go home from get off work, they are always half an hour faster than us. Every time Second Uncle and Xu Damao pass by us, they always show off. You don't know, they look like they really deserve a beating. You asked them to give you a ride, but they said that bicycles are big and it's okay to give you a ride once or twice, but not a third time. I think they did it on purpose. You said it's such a long way, and we are all neighbors. It's okay for you to give us a ride to get off work or home, but they just don't want to."

Yan Fugui said: "What they said is wrong. A bicycle is just a big item. How can you let others ride it or sit on it? If it were me, I wouldn't want to do that either."

Yan Jiecheng chuckled and continued, "Although my master didn't say anything on the surface, he was very angry when the second uncle mocked him every day for not being able to buy a bicycle. Not to mention Jia Dongxu. Ever since he took Xu Damao's bicycle back to the compound after get off work, he has been clamoring to buy a bicycle every day, saying that it is convenient for going to work and saves time. Dad, tell me, when you really buy a bicycle in the future, can you let me ride it to work for a few days to try it out?"

Yan Fugui smiled proudly and said, "Jiecheng, work hard with your master and try to get your license changed as soon as possible. That's better than buying a bicycle or something. Go home now. There are not many people here now, so you probably won't get any benefits."

What Yan Jiecheng said was really accurate. When Yi Zhonghai returned home, he started to worry about buying a bicycle. He dared to say that he had his own private treasury, which was the largest in the compound, but without a bicycle ticket, he could not buy one.

During this period, Liu Haizhong rode his bicycle and walked around in front of Yi Zhonghai every day. He would brag a little and even mocked himself for not being able to buy a bicycle. How could he tolerate this? After all, he was the eldest uncle in the yard, so how could he let the second uncle in the yard compare with him? He would get a ticket and buy a bicycle no matter what. It was really convenient for Liu Haizhong and his friends to go to work and get off work, saving a lot of time. Even in heavy rain, they didn't have to worry about getting their shoes and pants wet. It was really practical.

On He Yuzhu's side, matchmaker Wang introduced him to many girls, but most of them were fat and strong, and they ate a lot. However, most of them had jobs, but He Yuzhu didn't like any of them. As for Li Gai, He Yuzhu didn't lick him anymore. He confessed his feelings again a few days ago, but was still ruthlessly rejected.

He Yuzhu has not been in the mood to go to Jinghao recently. He came back early two days ago and saw Xu Damao watching Qin Huairu feeding the stick, so he unconsciously went over. When he saw Qin Huairu's breasts again, he found that they were bigger and whiter than before. He started to call her Sister Qin and Sister Qin with Xu Damao again. He wanted to find a wife even more recently.

He found Wang the matchmaker and gave her five yuan first, and promised to give her another five yuan later. He compromised and said that it was okay to find a girl from the countryside, but she had to be pretty and have a good figure. Wang the matchmaker also happily patted her chest and agreed, saying that there was a ready-made girl who was average looking but definitely had a good figure, and asked He Yuzhu if he wanted to meet her.

He Yuzhu recently visited Qin Huairu's big granary, and without thinking twice, he made an appointment to come to his house the day after tomorrow, and then went back happily.

Jinghao's business has been better in the past three months. He had no choice but to ask the second aunt to come over to help. This made the second uncle unhappy. Every time the second aunt went back, she didn't smell very good, and he didn't feel like working overtime at night. The second uncle strongly protested to Jinghao several times, asking Jinghao to find a worker during this period so that he could return to normal life.

Jinghao also found two people in the middle. One was too pretentious and didn't come the next day. Another one worked for half a month and I thought it was stable, but who knew that she suddenly succeeded in a blind date, and then, there was no more. I can only ask the second aunt to come during the day to help match them up.

Comrade Li Gai now has a work permit and is considered a formal employee. He has also signed a labor contract with Jing Hao again. His monthly salary is 27.5 yuan, but the work is a bit dirty and tiring.

Comrade Li Gai is very content now. His salary is stable, he has an income, and his family has almost paid off the money they owe to others. In the future, his family can live a normal life without having to borrow money from everywhere, and he doesn't need to go on blind dates to get married. This is the life he wants.
