Siheyuan: I live next door to Xu Damao, my last name is Cao

Cao Wei rode his bicycle and toured around Sijiu City for a while. People on the road cast envious glances at him.

You know what, this feeling is really great.

It's just a bit fuel-intensive, with fuel consumption of four or five tons per 100 kilometers.

Of course, Cao Wei was not riding aimlessly. He rode all the way to the police station closest to the courtyard.

After all, the car has been bought, but it hasn't been stamped yet.

The comrades at the police station had not yet left work, so Cao Wei hurried in, found the person in charge, and explained his purpose.

The comrades at the police station were also very responsible. They first checked Cao Wei's receipts and found that it was indeed a newly purchased bicycle, so they asked Cao Wei to go to the other side to pay.

I paid a total of three dollars and eight cents, of which two dollars and eighty cents was the bicycle tax, which needs to be paid every year, and the other dollar was for the application of the bicycle license and the stamp.

After Cao Wei paid the money, the staff quickly helped him to get a bicycle license and stamped the number on the bicycle license on the front bumper of the bicycle.

After getting the bicycle license, Cao Wei pushed the bike out of the police station. At this moment, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten something and forgot to lock the bike.

You must buy a bike lock. What if something happens and you lose the bike you worked so hard to get?

However, Cao Wei did not go to the department store again.

Instead, he went to a nearby supply and marketing cooperative and bought a bicycle lock for two yuan and forty-five cents.

Only then did he leisurely ride his bicycle back to the courtyard.

It’s true, riding a bicycle is very convenient to go anywhere now, and it’s much faster than walking.

Moreover, after riding for such a long time, Cao Wei didn't feel tired.

Cao Wei had just returned to the courtyard when the door god, the third uncle, saw him.

Who is this? Why did he come back pushing a bicycle?

The third uncle rubbed his eyes and looked carefully.

Cao Wei?

The third uncle was a little confused. Where did this kid get the bicycle?

So he hurried over.

"Cao Wei, where did you get this bicycle?"

The third uncle came to Cao Wei and looked at Cao Wei's brand new bicycle.

Compared with my own car, this one is more than twice as good.

Although the third uncle's bicycle also has a large chain set and a bell, the only thing missing is a taillight.

Although the styles are similar, Cao Wei's bike was newly bought and he only rode it for a short while, so the two bikes cannot be compared.

"Hey, this car is really nice, it looks really new."

Before Cao Wei could reply, the third uncle exclaimed in amazement.

Although he cleans his old bicycle every day, it is still a world of difference compared to a new one.

There is no comparison between a new car and an old car that has been polished to a shine.

As for the oil on the bicycle chain, Cao Wei's is also shiny, but this is a new one that is shiny. There is also a large chain box, and the paint on it is shiny black.

"Which car dealership did you rent this from? It looks like a new car."

When Yan Bugui looked at the brand new car, his first thought was that it was rented.

These days, it is inconvenient to go anywhere, but many families cannot afford to buy bicycles, so the government and bicycle manufacturers jointly opened bicycle shops where those in need can rent one, thus meeting the people's demand for bicycles.

This may be the earliest shared bicycle, but at that time you couldn’t scan the code and could only rent it at a bike dealership.

"Uncle, you guessed wrong. This is the bicycle I just bought."

Cao Wei said with a smile.

Yan Bugui looked shocked.

"How is that possible? Putting aside whether you can afford it or not, where did you get the bicycle ticket?"

The reason why Yan Bugui didn't believe that Cao Wei could afford a bicycle was because bicycle tickets were too difficult to get.

He has been a teacher in the school for so many years, but he has never been able to get a bicycle ticket. How can a young man like Cao Wei get one?

"Could it be that you got this by speculation? Cao Wei, you can't do this, or you will be arrested."

The three uncles all started to speculate, and Cao Wei was a little amused.

"I bought this honestly. The factory gave me a bicycle ticket as a reward this afternoon, so I bought it directly. If you don't believe me, you can ask the uncles and the others. They all know about this."

Cao Wei explained with a smile.

“You really bought it!”

The third uncle exclaimed immediately.

"Really." Cao Wei nodded.

Looking at Yan Bugui's face full of disbelief, Cao Wei felt secretly happy.

The emotional value is quite good.

At this time, the people in the third uncle's family heard the noise outside and came out of the house one after another.

They all heard the third uncle shout, "This is what you bought."

The third uncle and his friends were a little curious about who bought what that shocked him so much.

When I walked out, I saw the third uncle leaning next to a brand new bicycle, and there was another person next to the bicycle - Cao Wei.

Could it be that Cao Wei bought the bicycle?

Later they learned from the third uncle that the car was indeed bought by Cao Wei.

Then, their expressions became similar to that of the uncle.

envy, jealousy, hate!

Cao Wei deserves to die. Why, why can he buy a bicycle?

Especially Yan Jiecheng, he hasn't found a formal job yet, while Cao Wei is already a fourth-level fitter, earning more than 50 yuan a month, and has even bought a bicycle.

It's true that if you compare yourself to others, you will die, and if you compare goods, you will throw them away. Why is the gap between people so big?

"Cao Wei, how much did you pay for this car?"

The three aunts asked curiously.

Cao Wei replied: "One hundred and sixty-eight."

"Well, this car is already very good, with a brand new big chain set and taillights. It is also a top-notch car in the department store. Did you buy this in the department store?"

Cao Wei didn't expect Yan Bugui to guess so accurately, and asked curiously, "Uncle, how did you know?"

The third uncle smiled proudly and said, "When I bought this bicycle, I went to the department store quite often and looked at all the bicycles there."

In fact, what the third uncle didn’t say was that when he was looking at cars in the department store, the salesperson almost beat him up.

The third uncle didn't have a bicycle ticket at the time, so he went to check it out every day, and annoyed the salesperson. Then the third uncle said a few words, which made the salesperson angry. He was about to beat him up. If the third uncle hadn't run fast, he might have been beaten up.

"Actually, you should have asked me when you bought the car. Uncle San may not know much about other things, but as the first person in Siheyuan to buy a car, he knows a thing or two about this."

The third uncle can only use this to comfort himself.

Although the car he bought was not a new one, he was indeed the first person in the courtyard to buy a car.

Cao Wei smiled without saying anything and asked the third uncle. The third uncle would probably charge him two dollars as consulting fee.

After all, the third uncle had to charge him some fees for asking him to write two couplets for the New Year.

......

......

Not only the third uncle's family came out to see what was happening, but several other families in the front yard also heard the noise, came out to check what was going on, and were also shocked.

At such a young age, Cao Wei was already a car owner in the courtyard.

The third courtyard has a bicycle.

Although Xu Damao's bike was not his own but was provided to him by the factory, Xu Damao had been riding it for a long time.

It can be said that as long as he continues to work in Siheyuan, that will be his bicycle.

It’s not yet time for lunch because the steel mill got off work early today, so everyone came back early.

Yi Zhonghai came out to get some water and when he heard the noisy noise in the front yard, he became confused.

What is this doing in the front yard?

He put down the bucket and walked to the front yard.

At this time, Cao Wei's car had been surrounded.

what's the situation?

"Cao Wei, this is the bicycle you bought. It's amazing that you bought a bicycle at such a young age."

"This is the first new car our hospital has bought. This shows how capable they are."

"This is the reward he got for saving Jia Dongxu. Jia Zhangshi must thank Cao Wei very much."

......

Yi Zhonghai stood nearby for a while and finally understood what was going on.

This kid Cao Wei actually bought the bicycle back directly.

The bicycle ticket had just been issued this afternoon, and he rode back in the evening.

This kid moves too fast.

Yi Zhonghai suddenly thought of something. Didn’t Cao Wei cry poor and say he had no money? When he donated money last time, he said he only had the money he lent him, and then he donated ten cents.

As a result, the kid did just that today and bought the bicycle for two hundred yuan less.

Yi Zhonghai looked unhappy.

This guy sincerely doesn’t want to donate money and embarrass himself.

"Cao Wei, didn't you say you had no money? How come you still have money to buy a bicycle?"

Yi Zhonghai squeezed in from the crowd and asked in a bad tone.

Cao Wei looked at the aggressive Yi Zhonghai and felt a little emotional. This old man came with bad intentions.

He pretended not to know anything.

"Uncle, what are you talking about? You don't have money."

"Last time when you donated money, you said you had no money and only donated 10 cents. Where do you get the money to buy a bicycle now?" Yi Zhonghai said in a cold tone.

Everyone looked at Cao Wei. If that was the case, then Cao Wei must have a problem with his character. He had the money but deliberately refused to donate.

Everyone has donated, why do you donate so little?

What is worrying is not the lack of donations but the inequality. The people in the courtyard donated at least one or two yuan, but Cao Wei only donated one cent. Some people even had money but deliberately did not donate. This is a problem with their conduct.

Everyone looked at Cao Wei with some contempt.

"Hey, uncle, you are wrong. In addition to that one cent, I also donated many kilograms of corn flour. It's not just that one cent." Cao Wei said with a smile.

How could this guy Yi Zhonghai not know how to count? He even donated ten kilograms of corn flour, which is also money.

Corn flour is not cheap these days, several cents per pound, which is almost one dollar, not the dime that Yi Zhonghai said.

How could I ignore my own corn noodles?

In response to Yi Zhonghai's other question, Cao Wei made up a reason.

"I really didn't have any money before, but when I was cleaning up my house some time ago, I happened to find some money left by my parents. It said that this was the money they left for me to marry a wife. I was planning to return it to you, and then I happened to be rewarded with a bicycle ticket today. I thought you don't need these little things now, so I bought a bicycle first."

The reasons Cao Wei made up were indeed good.

The contempt in everyone's eyes also disappeared a little.

There is nothing wrong with saying this.

At that time, his predecessor spent all the family savings on his mother's medical treatment.

But only Cao Wei himself knew about this, and no one in the courtyard knew how much money Cao Wei had.

There is really nothing wrong with using the money left by parents to buy a bicycle.

After all, who doesn’t want to buy a bicycle these days? The third uncle has already bought one. Although it is second-hand, it is the first one in the yard, which makes him very proud.

The second uncle also wants to buy it, and wants to buy it for the eldest uncle’s wedding.

The old man doesn't have any children, so he doesn't need to buy one for his children, but he wants to buy one for himself to ride.

Yi Zhonghai didn't expect Cao Wei to say this.

"Uncle, you won't be angry because I didn't pay you back right away, will you? If so, I will sell my bike now and pay you back."

What Cao Wei said sounded very aggrieved, as if Yi Zhonghai was forcing him.

Yi Zhonghai was also stunned. He didn't seem to have asked him to pay back the money?

It's as if I'm forcing him to pay back the money, even if he has to sell the car.

Seeing how pitiful Cao Wei was, everyone looked at Yi Zhonghai differently. This old man was really no good. People lent him some money, but he made things difficult for them everywhere. It seemed that this old man was not a good person either.

Yi Zhonghai was helpless and had to say, "It's okay. Just return the money to me when you have more money. I'm not in a hurry."

This is exactly what Cao Wei wanted to hear, and he smiled very brightly.

"Okay, thank you, uncle. You are such a nice person. By the way, uncle, I just bought a bicycle today, and I am a little short of money. How about you lend me some money so that I can make ends meet?"

Cao Wei chuckled and said.

Yi Zhonghai cursed Cao Wei many times in his heart, this bastard actually wanted to borrow money.

"Well...I'm not well off lately, so I don't have much money to lend you."

"Uncle, I don't want much this time. Just lend me fifty, or thirty or twenty will be fine."

Yi Zhonghai has made up his mind that unless Cao Wei returns the money to him, he will never lend him money again.

"Well, I still need to get some water. I'll leave first." Yi Zhonghai smiled awkwardly and slipped away, making an excuse that he had something to do.

You little bastard, you still want to fight with me!

I'll borrow some money from you whenever I need.

Looking at Yi Zhonghai's leaving figure, Cao Wei felt very comfortable.

I donated ten cents last time, and I have to get it back from an old man, otherwise it would be a huge loss.

As for the one hundred yuan that Cao Wei had borrowed from Yi Zhonghai earlier, after receiving it, he never thought about paying it back.

What a joke! I borrowed the money with my own ability, why should I pay it back!
