Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 11 Living in the courtyard

Looking at the time, it was still early before Sha Zhu got off work, so He Yuanchao was not in a hurry to go back.I thought about going to the police station first and getting my car license.Hang the things on the handlebars and ride to the police station.

Along the way, the shiny bicycle attracted the attention of passers-by.In the envious eyes, Lao He really stood out.

After all, in the 50s, supplies were scarce.Most people can’t even imagine owning a bicycle.

During this period, families generally had a large population, and it was good to have enough to eat.For ordinary families, bicycles are an out-and-out luxury item.

Things are rare and valuable, and now owning a bicycle is a very prestigious thing.Thinking of this, the painful feeling of paying for a car just now has faded a lot.

Riding a bicycle, we arrived at the police station at a fast pace.Not to mention, it's just faster than walking with legs. It takes more than 40 minutes to walk and less than 10 minutes to ride a bike.

At the police station, He Yuanchao found the policeman who issued him the certificate in the morning and explained his purpose.

After hearing this, the policeman said with envy on his face: "Okay, Section Chief He, in just a blink of an eye, I bought all the bicycles. The welfare of your steel rolling mill is better. I want to transfer it."

"I just came back from assignment. How could such a good thing be my turn? I have been a soldier for more than ten years and saved some money. When I changed jobs, the old leader gave me a bicycle ticket. I am single and have no burden. In order to commute to work It was convenient, so I decided to buy one." He Yuanchao explained, taking out a cigarette and handing one to the policeman.

The policeman was not polite either. After the two of them smoked cigarettes and chatted for a while, the policeman asked someone to register the bicycle and put a stamp on it.

Under the envious eyes of all the policemen, He Yuanchao got on his car and left the police station in a dashing manner.

After leaving the police station, He Yuanchao went directly to Dongdan Vegetable Market for a walk.

He bought some potatoes and a chicken, enough to eat tonight. When he gets to work, he and Shazhu can eat in the cafeteria every day.When my niece comes back from the rain, she will buy something better to improve it.

In the past few years, Silly Zhu has been in the kitchen, and he probably has nothing to lose. The only one who suffers is his niece.

In his last life, he was an orphan, had no relatives, and had to experience all the warmth and coldness of human kindness by himself.

Only he himself knows how much he envies other people's family reunions.He has relatives in this life, and he wants to try his best to make them live a happier life.

When He Yuanchao returned to the courtyard, it was time to get off work.People in the courtyard happened to be returning one after another. When they saw He Yuanchao pushing his bicycle into the courtyard, everyone began to guess which rich relative he was from.Some people even stared at the things on the bicycle and swallowed their saliva.The children in the courtyard followed, pointing at the bicycles and arguing quietly.

He Yuanchao had already made up his mind to avoid tangling with people in the courtyard as much as possible, so he ignored a few people who seemed interested in approaching him to talk.He walked to the door of Shazhu in the middle courtyard with an expressionless face, locked the car in front of the window, ignored the children gathered around the car, and carried his things into the house.Putting down his things, He Yuanchao sat down on the chair, lit a cigarette, and started smoking comfortably.

While smoking a cigarette, Lao He was thinking about his family fortune.

I have been a soldier for 14 years, and I have been paid since I was promoted in [-], two years as a deputy platoon, one year as a full platoon, three years as a deputy company, and half a year as a full company.

In addition to some tickets, the original owner also saved 100 yuan, which is now cheaper than Li Yuan came through.Isn't this a waste of money? I squandered more than 170 yuan today.

When Lao He was smoking a cigarette and feeling sorry for Xiao Qian Qian.Silly Zhu's voice sounded like a broken gong.

"Whose bicycle is parked in front of my house? I don't want it anymore. Who are you coveting?"

He Yuanchao, who was angered by Silly Zhu's voice, said angrily to the door: "What are you calling for? Come in quickly."

When Silhu, who was looking aggrieved outside the house, heard this, he immediately went into the house with his neck scrunched up.Looking at He Yuanchao, who was sitting in a chair smoking a cigarette, he said with a smile: "Uncle, did you buy the car outside?"

Seeing that He Yuanchao was silent, he said again: "Uncle, have you eaten?"

He Yuan glanced sideways at Silly Zhu: "He's quite a big guy, and he's very frizzy. I don't know when he'll be able to calm down." After saying that, he threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stamped it out.

Looking at Silhu, who was still looking confused next to him, he said angrily: "What are you still doing? Hurry up and cook, you're still hungry."

Silly Zhu, who was reprimanded for no reason, started to boil water and kill chickens like an angry little daughter-in-law.

After giving Silly Zhu a lesson, Lao He was relieved. He glanced at Silhu who was busy with his butt sticking out. Lao He stood up without saying a word, found a basin in the cupboard, and scooped out two more large bowls. A bowl of stick noodles and a bowl of white noodles started to make noodles come alive.

Si Zhu next to him carefully glanced at He Yuanchao who was meeting him. Seeing that his face was calm, he had the courage to ask: "Second uncle, what's wrong? Did things not go smoothly?"

He Yuan faced the living person without raising his head.He told Sha Zhu what happened today, and emphatically mentioned that he asked Director Wang of the street to introduce a partner to Sha Zhu.
