A trip starting from the courtyard

Chapter 6 Buying a Bicycle
After lunch, it's time to get off work soon.

Wang Lidong ran to the office, said hello to his senior brother, and left work by himself if he had nothing to do.

Chen Xiaohu didn't know what he was looking at, and he didn't raise his head.

"Well, it's alright, you can get off work."

Wang Lidong left Yuyuantan with his hands empty, after passing the inspection of the soldiers on guard.

They are not rolling mills, they will let people bring lunch boxes in and out.

Yuyuantan Hotel has strict regulations, no chef dares to take home no matter how much leftovers there are.

Of course, in line with the habit of not wasting food, you can eat whatever you want in the work unit.

Thinking about the bicycle ticket in his pocket, Wang Lidong didn't go to the library as usual, but walked directly to the nearest supply and marketing cooperative.

After walking for about 15 minutes, I came to the Red Star Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

After 2 o'clock in the afternoon, there was no one in front of the counter.

"Sister, do you have any women's bicycles?"

Wang Lidong asked a familiar aunt.

"No."

The middle-aged aunt didn't even think about it, and replied directly.

"Auntie, are you so sure? Why don't you go to the warehouse to have a look?"

What happened today, this guy took gunpowder today.

Usually the attitude is pretty good.

Although Wang Lidong was depressed, he was fine.

The state-run ones are all iron rice bowls, what can you do.

"Have you said it? How many times do you want me to say it?"

The middle-aged aunt was impatient with the noise.

Last night was the day to hand in homework, but my man dealt with it very perfunctorily. I don't know if he put his energy on some vixen again.

Wang Lidong left the Red Star Supply and Marketing Cooperative resentfully.

It's better to go to the five-star supply and marketing cooperative. After all, this supply and marketing cooperative is the largest nearby and has a relatively complete range of goods.

However, the five-star supply and marketing cooperative is quite far from here, and if you go there on foot, it will take at least half an hour.

Wang Lidong is not short of money.

So I spent 3 cents, sat for 5 stops, and finally arrived at the stop.

Walking into the famous five-star supply and marketing cooperative in the capital, Wang Lidong looked it over.

I found that in this store, the attitude of the salesperson in front of the counter seems to be pretty good today.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Comrade, are there any women's bicycles?"

"Yes, there are Everlasting, Flying Pigeon, and Phoenix. Which brand do you want?"

"Can I see the real thing?"

The salesperson looked at Wang Lidong and found that he was a young man.

I was a little unsure whether the person in front of me came to close.

Wang Lidong knew what the salesman was thinking at a glance.

Immediately pull the bike ticket out of your pocket.

When the salesperson saw it, he knew in his heart that this was a sincere purchase.

"follow me."

The salesman brought Wang Lidong to the warehouse.

"It's all here. These are all women's cars. I'll help you push out whichever one you like."

Wang Lidong still knows a lot about bicycles.

In the later generations, when I was young, I was also a small expert in riding a bicycle, and I was able to fly with the doublet.

After looking at the style, the Phoenix one is the most beautiful, and it is still 26 inches.

Although Yushui has tall legs and long legs, don’t ask me how I know that Yushui’s legs are very long.

Girls are 26 inches in size.

"That's the Phoenix, comrade."

"Okay, this one is 168 yuan, comrade."

The salesperson confirmed.

"no problem."

Wang Lidong then followed the salesperson to the counter, holding the ticket issued by the salesperson.

Arrived at the cashier and paid.

I happily rode on the 26-inch Phoenix brand, which is quite light to ride.

Along the way, Wang Lidong was watched by passers-by.

Mainly these days, most people who want to buy bicycles will buy men's ones.

The most important function of bicycles now is to pull goods and people.

28 big bars, it is no problem to pack two or three hundred catties.

But for women, if you want more than two hundred, the shelf will most likely fall apart.

Speeding all the way, I arrived at the police station closest to my home.

It took almost 2 hours to buy a bicycle, knock on the stamp, pay taxes, get a license plate, and go all the way down.

When I rode my bike and returned to the courtyard, it was almost 5 o'clock.

Looking at the gate of the courtyard from a distance, a plump young woman with an egg face was standing there, looking forward to the direction of the rolling mill.

"Those who don't know think that this widow is waiting for her husband."

Wang Lidong has no objection to Widow Qin's operation.

Everyone eats on their own.

Shazhu and Widow Qin are women's cousins ​​and dogs, forever.

As long as they don't mess with him, they can do whatever they like.

"Yo, Lidong, is this the new car you bought?"

Widow Qin was thinking, it's all over now, why Shazhu hasn't come back yet.

I was in a hurry, of course, my children were hungry.

Unexpectedly, before Shazhu waited, he saw Wang Lidong returning on a new bicycle.

"This is for women, right? Lidong, why don't you buy a 28 bar?"

Seeing that the bicycle Wang Lidong bought was recently introduced in a newspaper, and it was specially produced for women to ride, Qin Huairu was a little envious.

"Bought for rainwater, no, it's going to high school.

That far, it's handy to have a bike.

Girls ride women's of course. "

Wang Lidong also explained, and asked Widow Qin to help spread the word.

At this time, there was a continuous flow of people at the gate, neighbors from the courtyard came in and out, and Wang Lidong's voice was deliberately louder.

Qin Huairu's eyes were fixed on Wang Lidong's bicycle, and the envy in those eyes almost overflowed.

Several neighbors are also jealous.

"What do you call girls should ride women's bikes? What is it for the convenience of going to school? Listen, it's really annoying."

"Yu Shui is really blessed. Although her brother is unreliable, but..."

"This car is worth the old nose's money, Wang Lidong is really willing to part with it."

"I can't tell, Wang Lidong is still a caring person."

"His father's pension is 2500. His father used to be a first-class chef. The salary of 89.5 yuan and the money to buy a car are really nothing to worry about."

An aunt said enviously.

"Sister Wang, why, do you want to try another man?"

"Sister Wang, if you want to be decades younger, I think Lidong will definitely consider it."

A group of neighbors became more and more suspicious of driving.

Ignoring the group of people, Wang Lidong pushed the cart into the courtyard.

Wang Lidong's house is just opposite to Qin Huairu's house, so if there is something wrong with Wang Lidong's house, the Jia's house on the opposite side knows it all.

"Grandma, Wang Lidong's family bought a new bicycle."

The 8-year-old stick stem is at the door of his house at this time, taking his two younger sisters to play with ants.

At this time, Jia Zhang, who was sitting at the door holding the soles of his shoes, was a little unbelievable.

"How can such a small family afford a bicycle?!

Where did he get the bicycle ticket?
This car can't be speculative, can it? "

Mrs. Jia knew that bicycle tickets were hard to come by. Wang Lidong had only been on the job for a long time, so how could his work unit issue bicycle tickets to Wang Lidong.
