Chapter 405 Chapter 404 Changing Cars
"Are you going to the city bureau to return the car tomorrow?" Xiao Wang asked after exiting the door of the Women's Federation dormitory.

"I'll pay it back tomorrow, sooner rather than later, otherwise my mother won't see the report and ask for the bicycle ticket from the work." Tang Zhitong nodded, and at the same time he was very emotional. His mother-in-law had thought very carefully for him. This kind of thing with a big tree at his back It feels pretty good.

"Then how do you go to school? How about I wait for you to return the car and you ride my car to school." Xiao Wang really stood on Tang Zhitong's side. The first consideration was whether it was convenient for her husband to get to work.

"I'll tell the dormitory leader and we'll go later tomorrow morning. Let's buy a bicycle on the way early tomorrow morning. It happens to be a working day, so there won't be any queues at the department store." Tang Zhitong suggested.

"That's okay. I'll go get the money tomorrow morning." Xiao Wang readily agreed. Buying a bicycle a day earlier would help solve the traffic problem. Although you can take the bus, the cost is not only not cheap, but also very crowded.

"Do you need to tell your work unit to ask for leave?" Tang Zhitong stopped when he saw an official call on the roadside before closing the door.

"No, I'll be fine if I go a little later." Xiao Wang shook his head.

Tang Zhitong nodded, said hello to the people in the door shop without any further persuasion, and picked up the official message.

The person who answered the phone was definitely not Lu Jian, but the dormitory manager of the third dormitory: "Uncle, please inform Lu Jian in dormitory 219. I will go there tomorrow night."

After the dormitory manager agreed, Tang Zhitong hung up the phone and handed over five cents.

"It was a good deed, and I saved a child who was choking..." Xiao Wang told his mother-in-law what happened.

"Fool, sometimes it's better not to leave a name than to leave a name." Xiao Wang said, regardless of whether Fengzhi could understand or not.

"Here, here." After Zhang Guifang handed the newspaper to her little girl, she looked up at her daughter-in-law, waiting for the next step.

"I want to see it too, I want to see it too!" Fengzhi jumped to the side and joined in the fun.

"Then how do others know that my brother did something good?" Fengzhi couldn't find the name, and there was still disappointment on his face.

"It's all your fault." Xiao Wang calmed down, glanced both ways, and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that no one was staring at him.

"What brand of bicycle should I buy you? Do you have one you like?" Now that he has decided to buy a bicycle for his man, Xiao Wang is naturally very reluctant and plans to withdraw all the money in the bank tomorrow.

"Ah! I hate it, where are you looking at?" When Xiao Wang heard what Tang Zhitong said, his pretty face turned red and he thought about correcting his riding action. He almost couldn't ride anymore.

"Well, blame me, let's go home first." Tang Zhitong didn't argue, and he had the charm of a Sichuanese raking his ears.

"Ah? Really? Are you making a contribution or doing something good?" Even though Zhang Guifang was illiterate, she still took the newspaper and read it decently, with a hint of pride in her excited expression.

"Sister-in-law, I didn't see my brother's name." Fengzhi said at the reporting position, first looking at the ten lines, then comparing them with her fingers.

"I'm not buying it for me, I'm buying it for you. You're riding a new one, and I'm going to ride yours." Tang Zhitong happily rode the bicycle and said.

The reason why Tang Zhitong approached Lu Jian was that he was more reliable than Luo Zhiping. He would never take the initiative to report to his roommate for leave unless the teacher asked.

"Okay, stop reading. If you read again, you'll memorize it." Tang Zhitong joked.

"Anonymous, your brother didn't leave a name at that time." Classmate Xiao Wang playfully pulled his sister-in-law's pigtails and said.

"Your bike is old. Besides, it's inconvenient for you to ride a 28-inch bicycle. When I look at you from behind, you are all twisted and unsightly. I don't want others to feast their eyes on you." Loving someone, of course. To give him the best, Tang Zhitong understood classmate Xiao Wang's thoughts, so naturally he tried to persuade her in different ways to make her accept his idea, because he also wanted to give her the best.

"Hey, be careful not to fall." Tang Zhitong didn't expect Xiao Wang's reaction to be so big, so he quickly reminded him.

"I don't want it. I'm fine riding this." Xiao Wang shook his head.

Of course, Lu Jian had to pay for the phone bill in the dormitory, so he could just pay it to him after he got there.

This sentence was a bit profound, and Fengzhi couldn't understand it with her little brain. She didn't forget it until it was time to eat. Nothing else was as important as cooking!
After eating, we returned to the wing. Xiao Wang was still holding the newspaper and reading it with gusto.

After returning home and putting away his bicycle, classmate Xiao Wang immediately shared with Zhang Guifang the good news that Tang Zhitong had appeared in the newspaper: "Mom, the eucalyptus was in the newspaper."

"I'd be happy to memorize it," Xiao Wang replied proudly.

"How much cash does our family have?" Tang Zhitong asked a practical question. He wanted to buy a Phoenix model 26 for his classmate Xiao Wang. The last time he bought it for his two sisters, he heard that it was two hundred and forty. It's a bit pricey at nine per car.

"There are still two hundred." Xiao Wang replied without raising his head.

"Then I have to take a little more and add a little more to give you a 26-meter Phoenix." Tang Zhitong said his plan.

"If I want to buy it for you, I'll buy Phoenix. If I want to ride it, I'll just have one forever. We have enough money at home, so we don't have to go to the bank to get it." After hearing Tang Zhitong's words, classmate Xiao Wang finally put down the newspaper and looked up. She looked at her husband with a serious look on her face.

"I've never bought you anything decent since we met, so just listen to me this time, okay?" Tang Zhitong held classmate Xiao Wang's pretty face in his hands and advised him gently.

"But I still need to leave some money to live on." Although Xiao Wang was sweet in his heart, he still resisted buying such an expensive item for himself.

"Then according to what you said, buying me a phoenix is ​​the same expense, but it's just a matter of time? It's the same reason. If you are willing to do it for me, I will be willing to do it for you. Be good and obedient." Tang Zhitong said, before Xiao Wang A mark was printed on the classmate’s forehead.

"I hate it, you are trying to coax the child." Xiao Wang felt that his heart was about to melt. There was a bit of coquettishness in his voice, and there was also a bit of sweetness in the coquettishness. The sugar content was at least nine plus signs.

"Yes, I'm coaxing the kids. Come on, let's go to bed." Tang Zhitong picked up Xiao Wang in a princess hug and put him on the bed.

It's good to coax the children, but you can't let Xiao Wang call him dad, which would be disrespectful to his deceased father-in-law.

After a night of talking nonsense, the young couple packed up quickly the next day. The division of labor was clear. Tang Zhitong sent his two sisters to school first, while Xiao Wang waited for the pedestrian bank near his home to open. These days, withdrawing money is not a Huitong exchange. Where can I deposit it? Where to get it.

Classmate Xiao Wang is someone who listens to "persuasion". Last night he was successfully persuaded by Tang Zhitong to buy a model 26 Phoenix.

Because neither the city bureau nor the department store had gone to work at this time, it would be useless to go early, so after dropping off his two sisters, Tang Zhitong slowly rode from Erlong Road to the department store.

When Tang Zhitong arrived at the department store, it was just in time to open. There were many people who had been waiting for a long time and lined up to get in. They didn't know what they came so early to buy.

Looking at the bicycles and pedestrians coming and going on the roadside, Tang Zhitong remembered the first time he came to the department store. That time, classmate Xiao Wang called him to invite him to buy a watch. In the blink of an eye, ten months had passed. At that time, Tang Zhitong was not as addicted to smoking as he is now. After smoking a cigarette, classmate Xiao Wang arrived belatedly on his bicycle.

"Are you in a hurry?" Xiao Wang parked the car and walked over quickly. At Tang Zhitong's suggestion, his jacket was widened to make the heavy granary look less eye-catching. However, only Tang Zhitong knew that the fine details under the clothes were How fascinated I am by the branches and fruits.

"Don't be in a hurry." Tang Zhitong smiled and shook his head.

"You will pay later." Xiao Wang took out the money wrapped in a handkerchief from his pocket and stuffed it into Tang Zhitong's pocket.

"Okay, let's go in." Tang Zhitong took the tongue out of his pocket and covered it, pressed it twice more before saying.

Not many people in China use wallets these days, mainly because they don’t have much money.

Most people will choose to wrap their change in a handkerchief and wear it carefully close to their body. There is nothing they can do about it. As long as physical currency is popular, there will be thieves and pickpockets, which are what many people call "Buddha".

In fact, in Sijiucheng, "Lord Buddha" was the name given to the emperor during the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. Anyone who sat in that position could be called "Lord Buddha". It was not an exclusive title for Cixi.

As for calling thieves and pickpockets "Buddha", it is actually a misunderstanding. Even in the four-nine cities, everyone calls "Buddha", but few people will respectfully call thieves "Buddha", and they all call thieves "Three Hands".

Do what you do and love what you do. Thieves were not happy to hear the name "Three Hands", so one of them chose the word "fu" from "breeze blowing on one's face" to compare it with the appearance of sneaking away property, and then used the old Beijing dialect " "Fu Ye", he calls himself "Fu Ye".

"Fuye" and "Foye" have similar pronunciations. Later, because they are easy to remember and catchy, they gradually spread.

The two of them came to the place where bicycles were sold. Although there were a few customers, they were all looking around and had not yet decided which model to buy.

"Hello, comrade, I want a Phoenix model 26." Tang Zhitong came up and spoke directly, while classmate Xiao Wang tacitly took out the ticket and letter of certification.

The saleswoman was a little surprised. She had been in this business for a long time, and few people were so straightforward with such large items. However, out of professional habit, she still took out the slip and issued the invoice. While doing so, she asked: "Do you want a electric tube?"

"No, just a bicycle." Xiao Wang was afraid that Tang Zhitong would equip him with one, so he immediately refused.

Motorized tubes are also called motorized electrical appliances. They are small power generating equipment used for night lighting. They had been inspected at night for a while before, and they were not allowed to go on the road without a night light. In the past two years, Tang Zhitong has not encountered anyone who inspected night lights, but he will not do so in the future. Easy to say.

Tang Zhitong remembered that Hou Baolin had a cross talk show and described it:
Someone shouted: "It's on! It's on!"

The cyclist said: "Nonsense! Can't you call the light if you don't need it?!"

When I looked down, I saw that even my sleeves were covered!
Because he had no money, and due to the regulations requiring a night light to ride at night, this man used a paper lantern...

After the ticket was issued, Tang Zhitong went to pay the money and the ticket, and then took Xiao Wang to pick up the car. The customers who were choosing cars next to them all cast envious glances at the young couple.

You get what you pay for, this saying is especially applicable in this era. Tang Zhitong took a closer look at the Phoenix bicycle. It was made of solid materials and the details were better handled than the one he bought for his two younger sisters.

"You go and get the license plate. After you get the license plate, go directly to the work unit. I'll go to the city bureau to return the car." Tang Zhitong arranged after leaving the door of the department store.

"I'll go with you. We'll ride on the old one, and then you take me back, and I'll go get the cards." Xiao Wang, considering Tang Zhitong's travel issues, put forward his own idea.

"No, you give me the license plate. I'll ride one and push the other. Go to the city bureau and chat with a few acquaintances. They won't come out so fast. Just get the license plate." Tang Zhitong explained his plan Tell it to classmate Xiao Wang.

"Okay, please slow down and pay attention to safety." When Xiao Wang heard what her husband said, she finally stopped insisting and took it out of her bag to read the license plate and handed it over.

Tang Zhitong watched classmate Xiao Wang go away, and then went to the bicycle storage office, which is what people call the "car watcher".

Although this job is exposed to wind and sun, with cold winters and hot summers, it makes a lot of money.

There is a pay-per-view fee to see the bike, and you can pick it up with a bamboo sign. Whether you deposit a bike for five minutes or a day, it costs two cents.

The car watcher was very attentive and fortunately he didn't arrest Tang Zhitong as the "three hands" because he was deeply impressed by the girl who just kept the car. Unexpectedly, in just half an hour, a young man came to pick up her car with her sign. car.

Encountering such a conscientious man who was looking at his own bicycle, Tang Zhitong was not only not annoyed, but also thanked him unceasingly. He took out his work ID and explained his relationship with classmate Xiao Wang before he could take out the bicycle. .

It was only two kilometers from the department store to the city bureau. Tang Zhitong didn't bother to go through the alley, and directly rode a car and pushed another to the city bureau.

After putting away his bicycle, Tang Zhitong went straight to Su Chu's office.

Director Su's full name is Su Qingxiang, and he has always been a deputy. However, after the investigation of Fangyuan and Tang Zhitong, he benefited and moved up a few positions from the bottom of the ranking.

This position has changed, and there are more affairs. When Tang Zhitong arrived, there were people not only inside Su Chu's office, but also outside.

"Teacher Tang?" Just as Tang Zhitong showed his head, Cheng Hai walked out of the office next to him.

"Hey, Brother Cheng, have you moved here?" Tang Zhitong was a little surprised and said hello to Cheng Hai.

"I thought I had admitted the wrong person. I came here to be Secretary to Su Chu. Are you looking for Su Chu for something?" Cheng Hai explained and asked again.

"Congratulations. I have nothing serious to do. The bureau will take care of me. I have been riding the bicycle I used when I was a deliveryman. I came here to return the bicycle this time. I think Su is very busy. Why don't you trouble Brother Cheng to go back and hand over the keys?" Tang Zhitong I looked at the colleagues waiting in line outside to report their work. Who knew how long it would be until I was in line? Time was not easy to control, and he didn't really want to wait. Besides, if Cheng Hai could be Su Chu's secretary, he would be Su Chu's confidant, and it would be the same if he gave him the key.

"What a coincidence, I'll go in and ask Su Chu for instructions." While the two were talking, someone from the office came out. Although Cheng Hai was talking to Tang Zhitong, his face was looking at the next colleague who was waiting to go in and report.

They are all sensible people, Cheng Hai said so, others could only continue to wait, but Cheng Hai did not give Tang Zhitong a chance to refuse, and entered the office after saying that.

Less than half a minute later, Cheng Hai came out and said to Tang Zhitong, "Teacher Tang, Su Chu please come in."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Cheng." Tang Zhitong thanked Cheng Hai and went directly into the office, closing the door.

Since it was the leader who spoke, others waiting in line to report could only stare and continue to wait.
