the next day.

Several masters, gritting their teeth in hatred, came to the transport team angrily and waited for Zhang Jinwu.

Everyone looked at each other, the anger in their eyes almost overflowing. If it weren't for Zhang Jinwu's bad idea, they wouldn't have to kneel on the washboard.

"Ah!"

Zhang Jinwu suddenly yawned, and suddenly felt his body tremble, and had a bad premonition.

When Zhang Jinwu arrived at the transport team, everyone came up to him aggressively as soon as they saw him.

"Lao Zhang, look at what a bad idea you came up with. I knelt for an hour yesterday!"

"My knees are hurting from kneeling. You've hurt me so much. I'm still in pain and can't even complete the mission!"

Several people questioned Zhang Jinwu one after another, as if they would not let him leave unless they had a chance to talk, and they would not even care about his work.

Zhang Jinwu was also embarrassed when he heard this, as he was also punished to kneel yesterday.

But now is not the time to admit his mistakes, Zhang Jinwu said stubbornly: "What? You guys are punished and you blame me? It's your fault, why am I fine?"

"I think you may not be using the right method. Otherwise, why are both of them being punished? You must be using the wrong method."

"That's great. Tell me how you did it, and I'll analyze it for you."

Several people looked at Zhang Jinwu, who was calm and confident, and looked at each other in surprise.

Could it be that they did something wrong?
"I'll speak first, I'll speak first!" Master Zhao volunteered.

Several people listened, Zhang Jinwu nodded from time to time and frowned, as if he was listening carefully.

After Master Zhao finished speaking, Zhang Jinwu asked the next person to continue, while he was quickly thinking of a solution.

The tragic experiences of several people were similar. Zhang Jinwu was sweating profusely after hearing them. He was the same. The key was that he couldn't think of a solution now.

They were talking so heatedly that even the other masters who had gathered around to watch the fun and listen to the gossip didn't pay any attention.

Seeing his master's embarrassed look, Li Kailang smiled and walked over.

"Masters, congratulations!"

Several people immediately glared at Li Kailang, "Master Li, what do you mean by this? Are you here to make fun of us?"

"If it weren't for your master's bad advice, we wouldn't have been beaten!"

"Yes, and you too. If you hadn't lied to us, we wouldn't have bought a car, and we wouldn't have been beaten!"

"If you two don't give us an explanation today, we won't be polite!"

Several people said sternly that they just wanted an explanation.

"Xiao Li, go back and don't join in the fun!" Zhang Jinwu scolded.

Li Kailang smiled and said, "Masters, I am not laughing at you. I really came here to congratulate you."

After that, Li Kailang took out the newspaper he bought this morning, unfolded it and said, "Masters, look!"

Li Kailang pointed to an item in the center of the newspaper.

Several people immediately stared at it. It said in the newspaper: Starting in June, the city of Beijing will adopt a supply method of charging purchase rights for watches and bicycles.

The commercial department will issue a number of watch or bicycle purchase coupons at irregular intervals (half a year or a year) based on the supply situation and the number of employees in each government agency.

The unit will then redistribute the coupons to employees who need them most, and employees who receive the coupons must purchase them at designated stores.

(According to the "BJ Annals·Comprehensive Volume·People's Life Annals").
The content in the newspaper was simple. One master found it a little unbelievable. He wiped his eyes and checked again.

Master Zhao pointed at the newspaper and said in a trembling voice, "Xiao Li, is what the newspaper says the same as what I thought? Is it what I thought it meant?"

Several people looked at the newspaper with half belief and half doubt, and looked at Li Kailang in disbelief and astonishment.

Even the people who were joining in the fun were looking at Li Kailang nervously.

Li Kailang nodded heavily. "That's what everyone is thinking. Starting next month, you need tickets to buy bicycles and watches."

"If you buy it now, you don't need a ticket. Now people may be rushing to buy bicycles and watches. You can get there first."

"Maybe you won't be able to buy it today."

Upon hearing this, several people including Master Zhao cheered instantly.

Li Kailang asked back: "Masters, are you still blaming Master and me now?"

"Don't blame us, don't blame us! It's our fault. We wrongly blamed you. I apologize to both of you!" Master Zhao said immediately.

"Yes, yes, yes, we were wrong. We shouldn't blame you, blame ourselves for not listening to good advice." The other masters echoed.

They laughed happily, without any sense of grievance.

"When I get off work, I'm going to go back and teach my wife a lesson. Luckily I bought it yesterday. If it were today, I wouldn't be able to buy it at all."

"Yes, I did a good thing, how can I be wronged in vain? After get off work, I will buy a newspaper and have a good talk with my wife."

"What's the point of just talking? We have to show our dignity as the head of the family and let her see how powerful we are!"

"Yes! You are right, we finally turned the game around!" Several people immediately agreed, looked at each other and laughed.

They were happy, but the others who didn't buy anything had sad faces, like bitter melons.

"Oh, if I had known I would have listened to Xiao Li yesterday and just bought it with the money. It would be worth it even if I got beaten up!"

"Yes, I discussed it with my wife yesterday, but she disagreed. Now we are at work, so we can't go out."

Zhang Jinwu listened and laughed so hard that he couldn't stop. After get off work, he would go back and talk to Han Xiaohui.

Master Zhao looked at Li Kailang and gave him a thumbs up: "Xiao Li, it's you who has foresight!"

"Yes, Xiao Li, you guessed it right. It was published in the newspaper in just one day. We don't have to rush to buy it."

"Ahem." Zhang Jinwu coughed twice, signaling them to praise him.

I don’t understand the rest, but saying a few nice words won’t cost me anything.

"Old Zhang, speaking of which, Xiao Li is your apprentice. You are a great master!"

Other masters also praised him.

"No, no, it's all Xiao Li's credit. I, as your master, didn't teach you much."

Zhang Jinwu smiled happily, feeling very happy, but he still pretended to be humble, which made them envious and jealous, and they gritted their teeth in hatred.

Li Kailang watched from the side, smiling but saying nothing.

"No, I have to go buy some while it's still early and there are still supplies!" Suddenly, someone said firmly.

Many masters who didn't buy looked at him, wondering what he was going to do.

He continued, "Captain Zhang, please divide the tasks quickly so that I can drive out to buy them."

Suddenly, everyone spoke up and asked Zhang Jinwu to distribute the tasks.

Soon, the jobs were sold out and trucks drove out of the steel mill one after another.

The first thing to do is to go back and get money, and then go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy it.

"Ding-ling-ling——" the bell for the end of get off work at noon rang.

Several masters, including Master Zhao, couldn't wait to get home after get off work and talk to their wives about it. They even bought newspapers on the way as evidence.

"Bitch, come out!"

Zhao's wife came out and looked at Master Zhao, who was looking fierce but restrained, and said, "What are you doing? I didn't cook your lunch at noon."

"I'm not coming back to eat!" Master Zhao shouted.

"Aren't you here to eat? Then why did you come back? Is it because the beating you received yesterday didn't hurt and your skin is itchy now?" Zhao's wife shouted.

Master Zhao took out the newspaper and pointed to the content about the ticket and showed it to her.

After reading it, Zhao's wife immediately looked at Master Zhao with new eyes and praised him, "Not bad, Old Zhao, you actually thought of this. It seems that I made a mistake yesterday."

"Well!" Master Zhao lowered his head and glanced at his wife, "You're just praising me. Didn't I beat you for nothing yesterday? You have to give me an explanation!"

Zhao's wife was caught in the act of Master Zhao showing off his power, and she scolded him, "What? Old Zhao, do you want to hit me? It seems that I am giving you too much face?"

Master Zhao said stubbornly, "If I don't beat you, then I got beaten for nothing yesterday. No matter what, I need an explanation."

"Want an explanation?" Zhao's wife laughed, looked Master Zhao up and down, and suddenly looked nakedly at a certain young man.

"It's not impossible, but I don't know how long your little brother can last?" Zhao's wife laughed.

Master Zhao looked into her eyes, then looked down at his little brother, and suddenly felt a tightness under his body.

"No, I don't want it anymore!" Master Zhao shook his head in panic and wanted to leave.

"Want to leave? Wish! I'll explain to you when we get home!"

Zhao's wife grabbed Master Zhao, dragged the reluctant Master Zhao back home, and then closed the door.

"Hehe, I'll give you an explanation right now!" Zhao's wife smiled sinisterly.

"No!" Master Zhao let out a scream that resounded through the sky.

Until the bell rang for work, Master Zhao dragged his weak legs and staggered to work.

He didn't get an explanation, but he got himself involved. Fortunately, he was not the only one who shared the same pain as Master Zhao.

Several masters returned to the transport team, completely exhausted, and lay in the trucks to rest.

Get off work in the afternoon.

The news about the train tickets spread quickly throughout the city, and many people rushed to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy them at noon.

The supply and marketing cooperative was crowded and bustling.

Yan Bugui naturally also knew the news. He passed by the supply and marketing cooperative and saw it, but he couldn't even squeeze in.

He hurried back home and took out his savings. He had long coveted Li Kailang's bicycle, but due to family constraints and the fact that bicycles did not require a ticket, he did not buy one.

The train requires tickets now. If you don’t buy them now, when will you? You won’t be able to buy them even if you want to in the future.

However, looking at the deposits, Yan Bugui was completely troubled.

"You can't even buy a car with just a hundred bucks. How about borrowing some money?"

Yan Bugui thought about it and immediately rejected this decision.

"No, no, the situation is bad now. It's hard to pay back the money I borrowed, and I still have to owe favors to others. I can't borrow money."

"But with this little money, you can't buy a good car, a good car?"

Yan Bugui suddenly realized, "If you can't buy a good bicycle, why not just buy a broken one? You can fix it and still use it."

Thinking of this, Yan Bugui chuckled, but the third aunt looked at him and held the money, and couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"Boss, what are you going to do with the money? Don't be so careless as to use the money to do something bad. This is all the money in the family. What will you do if something goes wrong without the money?"

The family is not well-off to begin with, and if the money was used for anything, the family would not be able to withstand the slightest blow.

Yan Bugui explained: "Don't worry, I took the money to buy a bicycle. You don't know that it's been rumored that bicycles require tickets."

"A bicycle needs a ticket?" The three aunts were surprised. "That's none of our business. We don't have enough money to buy one."

"If you can't buy a good one, you can just sell a broken one and get it repaired. With our family's financial situation, if we don't buy it now, we won't be able to buy it in the future."

After saying that, Yan Bugui looked at the money, took out a few big black tens, and went out to the scrap collection station.

"Hey, boss!" The third aunt shouted, but Yan Bugui did not stop.

"I'll explain it to you when I come back!" Yan Bugui responded hurriedly.

Yan Bugui has always wanted a bicycle, but if he explains everything to the three aunts, it will take at least two days to get one.

After that time, there will be no bicycles on the market.

After a while, Yan Bugui arrived at the scrap collection station, panting.

"The door is closed and there is no one here. It seems no one has thought of this." Yan Bugui smiled. People go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy new cars, so how could they think of this?

After saying something to the security guard, Uncle Zhang, Yan Bugui was led inside.

"Old Qian, someone wants to buy a bicycle." Uncle Zhang gave instructions and went to the gate.

Lao Qian took Yan Bugui into the house to look at the bicycles.

"There are only three bicycles here. Which one do you want?"

Yan Bugui checked carefully and found that these three bicycles were missing many parts and only had a frame left.

Yan Bugui: "How much is it?"

Lao Qian stretched out two fingers.

Yan Bugui said as a matter of course: "2 yuan? It's so cheap, OK, I'll take it."

Lao Qian shouted, "2 yuan? 20 yuan! Comrade, are you kidding me? How can a bicycle be so cheap? I would pay more than that if I bought it back."

Yan Bugui chuckled. He was also dreaming and wanted to see if he could negotiate it.

However, 20 yuan is indeed too much. There is only a frame left. How can it be so expensive?

Yan Bugui: "20 yuan? You must be kidding me, you are asking for a higher price, don't you know that? How can you be so arrogant?"

"Look at this car, it's just a frame. The tires, seats, brakes, etc. are all gone. The beams are all crooked. It's not worth the price."

"If this car was in good condition, I would have bought it. Now all that's left is a frame. 20 bucks? Aren't you kidding me?"

"Be honest and give me a real price. I really want to buy it."

Old Qian said with a grin, "Robbing money is not as fast as this, and it's also safer. Besides, the racks were not expensive before, but they are expensive now."

"Do you really think I don't know that there are rumors that bicycles require tickets, so I should raise the price."

"Just tell me whether you want it or not. If you don't want it, give it to someone else!"

"Okay, how much do you say?"

"15 yuan, why don't you go and grab it! How can a shelf be so expensive?" Yan Bugui said.

Yan Bu was so expensive that he was itching to pay it back. It was never this expensive before. He said unwillingly, "20 yuan is too expensive. 10 yuan less!"

"10 yuan?" Old Qian shook his head and said unhappily, "Impossible! How can you bargain like that? It must be at least 15 yuan!"

At this time, Uncle Zhang's voice was heard outside the house again. The two walked out of the room, only to see Uncle Zhang coming in with three people.

"Old Qian, these three are also here to buy bicycles." Uncle Zhang instructed.

Yan Bugui looked at them and his heart tightened involuntarily. There were actually people who thought the same as he did. These three people were his competitors.

If you miss this opportunity, you will miss it forever. Now some people have the same idea as him, and there will definitely be others who think of it in the future. It will be too late if you don’t buy it now.

Yan Bugui gritted his teeth and took the initiative: "Okay, 15 yuan, 15 yuan, I want it, please give me a certificate!"

After saying that, Yan Bugui immediately took out 15 yuan and handed it to Lao Qian, then took a bicycle and went out.

Lao Qian looked at the money in his hand, then looked at Yan Bugui, then turned to look at the three men, "It's getting less."

But since things have come to this, forget it. "Okay, I'll give you the certificate later."

When the three men saw Yan Bugui carrying the bicycle, they immediately ran towards Lao Qian and rushed into the house.

Seeing that there were only two bicycles left, the three of them scrambled to grab them, so naturally some of them couldn't get one.

The tall thin man and the short fat man immediately started fighting with each other.

Yan Bugui thankfully said, "Luckily I paid for it, otherwise it would be gone."

One person took the opportunity to rush out, immediately paid 15 yuan, and left the house.

The remaining two people wrestled with each other, neither giving in.

"Give me the car, it's mine!"

"The car is mine, I got it now, let it go!"

Yan Bugui and the man looked at each other, and both of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Before the two men finished fighting, Uncle Zhang brought in three more men. Seeing this, the two men fought even harder and it was very intense.

Before the three men arrived, the two men fought fiercely, and finally the short and fat man took the item away and paid the money.

"Fuck!" the tall and thin man cursed loudly, and without caring about anything else, he started to wrestle with the short and fat man again.

"Why are you fighting? If you want to fight, go out and fight. Why are you blocking me?" Lao Qian shouted.

In the end, the tall and thin man snorted coldly and left unwillingly.

The three people who came later saw that there were no bicycles, so they returned.

After getting the certificate and the bicycle frame, Yan Bugui immediately went to the bicycle repair station to have it repaired.

"Comrade, how much does it cost to repair this bicycle?"

The maintenance master looked up and asked, "Do you want to just fix the beam, or fix the beam and complete the vehicle?"

"Of course we need to complete the whole vehicle. What's the point of just repairing the beam?"

The maintenance man suddenly spat out: "35!"

"What? How much did you say?" Yan Bugui didn't hear clearly and didn't dare to believe the price.

The maintenance man said again: "35 yuan!"

"So expensive! Wasn't it only a dozen or twenty yuan before?" Yan Bugui said in surprise.

"The past was the past, and the present is the present. There are rumors out there that bicycle tickets are needed. How can I not raise the price?"

The repairman said unhappily, "Besides, there is only one beam left on your car, and it's crooked, so I'll charge you more. Do you want to repair it? No, don't disturb me while I'm doing business."

Yan Bu gritted his teeth in awe, why is everything so expensive? He has already bought the frame, what else can he do except repair it? Is he going to just take it home and put it there?
"35 is 35, fix it! I want to watch you fix it!"

The repairman held out his hand and said, "Pay first, then we'll fix it!"

Yan Bugui took out the big black ten, feeling heartbroken as if bleeding, and gave them to the maintenance master one by one.

When he was given the last one, Yan Bugui couldn't bear to let go and kept holding it.

The maintenance master also secretly exerted force and took away the money.

"Ah!" After the money was taken away, Yan Bugui seemed to have lost his energy and spirit and became dejected.

After a while, Yan Bugui regained his confidence and stared at the maintenance master.

The repairman looked at the empty bicycle, with only a frame and nothing else. It would not be so easy to complete it.

The repairman said, "It won't be that fast to repair your car. Take the ticket and come pick it up tomorrow."

"Can't we make up for it now?" Yan Bugui asked worriedly.

The maintenance engineer said helplessly: "Brother, don't you see what time it is now? It's getting dark and I'm about to get off work. Don't I need to eat?"

"Besides, your car has nothing. Do you want me to skip meals and help you repair the car until the early morning? Otherwise, you have to pay me overtime."

"Forget it, forget it. I'll come and get it tomorrow." Yan Bugui immediately shook his head. He couldn't argue when it came to money. In just half an hour, he had already spent 50 yuan.

"We agreed that you have to fix it for me tomorrow. I want it tomorrow!"

"Don't worry, I've already agreed on the money. I know the basic rules," said the maintenance master.

Yan Bugui could only go home reluctantly, and he looked back reluctantly.
