At the same time, at the gate of the courtyard.

The third aunt was anxiously waiting for Yan Bugui to come back and she didn't even have the mood to cook.

I felt relieved when I saw Yan Bugui appear at the edge of the alley without a bicycle beside him.

"It didn't cost any money, fortunately it didn't cost any money."

The third aunt rushed over and saw Yan Bugui looking dejected. She quickly comforted him, "Boss, it's okay if you didn't buy a car. It didn't cost you anything."

Yan Bugui looked at the third aunt and said, "It's spent."

'what? '

Yan Bugui repeated: "I said, the money is spent, 50 yuan to buy a car."

The three aunts looked around but didn't see the bicycle. "Where's the bicycle? I spent money on it, why is it gone? Did someone cheat me?"

The third aunt suddenly shouted in a hoarse voice: "That's 50 yuan! The money was cheated and I don't even have a car!"

"You know what the situation is at home, 50 yuan!"

Seeing the third auntie's emotions losing control, Yan Bugui quickly explained: "Don't talk nonsense, I wasn't cheated, the car was taken for repair and I can only get it back tomorrow."

Hearing this, the third aunt was skeptical: "Really?"

"Of course it's real. I've given you everything." Yan Bugui took out the certificate issued by the repair shop.

The third aunt hurriedly took it and looked at it closely. She seemed afraid that she could not see it clearly, so she walked under the light to look at it.

After seeing it clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief and breathed in deep breaths, feeling relieved that he had not been cheated.

"Why did you buy a bicycle? 50 yuan, that's a lot of money. You know our family situation, right?"

Yan Bugui carefully took back the certificate and said, "Go home and talk about it."

When Yan Jiecheng heard that his father used the money to buy a bicycle, he didn't feel much better.

As food became more precious, the odd jobs he did at the street office became worse and worse.

At this time last year, I could earn 20 yuan for odd jobs, but now it's just over 10 yuan. If the situation continues to be this bad, it will be even less next year.

As soon as the two people appeared at the door, Yan Jiecheng was in no mood to sit there and hurried over.

"dad"

Before he could finish his words, he was blocked and said, "Close the door first."

The whole family gathered around the dinner table, waiting for Yan Bugui to explain.

"I know you don't understand why I want to buy a bicycle. My family is not well off, but I still insist on buying one."

The three aunts and Yan Jiecheng nodded.

Yan Bugui slowly explained: "Bicycles require tickets. You all know that. Once a ticket is required, do you think our family can get one with our conditions?"

"If you ask for a ticket, the bicycles will be in limited supply in the future. As a small business owner like us, can we get one? Think about it carefully, both of you."

Hearing this, the two of them nodded involuntarily. If one's background is not good, it will be troublesome to do anything, unless one gets rid of it.

But this is simply impossible, unless you leave before the classification, just like He Daqing ran away.

Otherwise, how did Sha Zhu get the identity of a poor peasant? It was because he relied on the deaf old lady.

Yan Bugui continued, “If you don’t buy it now, you won’t be able to get it later. When I went there, there were 10 people fighting for it. If I hadn’t been quick, I would have almost missed it.”

The reason for saying so much is naturally to talk about the benefits.

"There are benefits to buying a car. Just look at Li Kailang, who rides to get off work every day and rides out for fun during holidays. He looks proud of himself."

"During holidays, I can ride my bike to Shichahai to fish and supplement the family income. If my neighbors need help, I can lend it out for money and supplement the family income as well."

Yan Bugui talked a lot about the advantages, gradually alleviating the two people's doubts and making them gradually accept this fact.

Seeing this, Yan Bugui breathed a sigh of relief and took out the remaining big black ten.

The three aunts took it carefully and put it in the piggy box. After a rough calculation, the deposit was less than 100 yuan.

"Oh!" The third aunt couldn't help but sigh.

noon the next day.

After school at noon, Yan Bugui hurried to the repair shop.

"Master, how is my bicycle repair going?"

The repairman looked up at him and pointed at the bicycle in front of him: "Here, this is your bike. It's almost half fixed. It will be finished this afternoon."

Yan Bugui looked down and saw that most of the bicycle had been assembled.

"Okay, I'll come back in the afternoon. Please give me some more snacks, Master."

Yan Bugui smiled, his heart seemed to be bleeding. He handed him a cigarette and struck a match to light it.

The maintenance man held a cigarette in his mouth and said, "Don't worry. My maintenance skills are so good that everyone in the surrounding alleys would give me a thumbs up. Just wait and see."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Yan Bugui replied with a smile and went back to school.

There were no classes in the afternoon, so Yan Bugui sat there, waiting, feeling very uneasy, as if there were thorns on his back and something was stuck in his throat.

"Jingle Bell--"

As soon as the school bell rang, Yan Bugui rushed out of the school impatiently.

"Which teacher is this? He ran so fast. The students haven't come out yet, but he has."

A serious-looking man at the security post at the school gate asked.

The dean of studies at the side looked at the familiar figure going away and said, "It's Mr. Yan Bugui, the third grade teacher and the head teacher of Class 1."

"Seeing him running so fast, something must have happened at home, and he must be in a hurry to go home."

"Yeah." He nodded and said nothing more.

The dean of studies was puzzled and asked, "What's going on with Teacher Yan? Why is he acting so abnormal today?"

Judging from the principal's reaction, there was no punishment, but it left a bad impression.

But Yan Bugui rushed to the maintenance point and found the repairman.

"Your bike has been repaired. It's over there. Go try it out. Tell me if you have any problems."

Yan Bugui looked at the bicycle that had undergone a drastic change and was instantly surprised. He stroked the bicycle carefully.

Then I couldn't wait to ride the bike and try it out, so I rode it for a while outside the repair shop.

"How's it going? Any problems?"

"No, it's fine."

"That's good. If there's no problem, you can ride back. If you come back later, you will be charged." The maintenance master reminded.

After all, this is not the future, and we will not be responsible if you leave the store.

"By the way, here is the material purchase certificate and repair certificate for you. Go to the police station to get them stamped. Remember to take the 3 yuan."

If you want to stamp a bicycle, it must be of legitimate origin and not stolen. To provide evidence, of course, proof is needed.

With the material purchase and maintenance certificates, it can be proved that the source is legitimate.

This is a point. Aren't the materials purchased? How can they be legitimate?

The country advocates waste utilization. The bicycle that Yan Bugui bought was the result of waste utilization, it was just repaired.

After that, the bicycles were either bought new with the tickets, or were pieced together, or were given as gifts.

"Hehehe." Yan Bugui smiled foolishly as he looked at the bicycle. Although he paid the 3 yuan for the stamp with a painful heart, he would be a car owner from now on.

"Ding Ding Dong——" Yan Bugui rode his bike, singing a song, and returned to the courtyard happily.

"I'm back!" Yan Bugui shouted happily and pushed the cart into the yard.

"Hey, Uncle, are you buying a bicycle?"

"Uncle, the supply and marketing cooperative has no cars anymore, how did you get this?"

"Uncle, that's awesome!"

Hearing the compliments from his neighbors, Yan Bugui smiled happily and said politely, "No, no! I was lucky to buy it."

The third aunt and Yan Jiecheng heard the noise, came out, and saw Yan Bugui pushing a brand new bicycle.

"Master, is this our car?" The third aunt said in disbelief. Yan Jiecheng was also surprised. This car belongs to the family, so it must be his, right? He was overthinking.

Yan Bugui laughed and patted the cushion: "It's ours. How is it? Is it new? Does it look good? We will also have a car in the future."

The neighbors came over and looked at him enviously, and Yan Bugui took the opportunity to show off to everyone.

"Dad, can I ride this bike?" Yan Jiecheng asked.

Hearing this, Yan Bugui was reluctant, but seeing the neighbors gathering around him, he could not refuse, so he could only nod in agreement.

"Okay, ride it, just ride it in the yard." Yan Bugui didn't want Yan Jiecheng to damage it.

"Hey!" Yan Jiecheng responded excitedly and rode his bike around in circles in the front yard.

The neighbors all stood in the middle, watching Yan Jiecheng spinning in circles, and it was impossible not to feel envious.

Yan Jiecheng had not been riding for long when another person came in pushing a bike.

"Uncle, you have a bicycle too?" someone couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, isn't this the hot topic outside? I'll buy one too." Liu Haizhong said with a smile.

Everyone looked at the bicycle in Liu Hai's bangs, then looked at Yan Bugui. The more they looked, the more they felt that Yan Bugui's bicycle was a little weird.

Although it is painted on the outside and looks like a whole, it feels very inconsistent.

"Uncle Three, where did you buy this car? What brand is it? Why is it different from Uncle Two's?" someone couldn't help but ask.

Liu Haizhong looked at Yan Bugui's car and also felt it was a little strange.

Yan Bugui's smiling face suddenly froze and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.

Liu Haizhong also echoed: "Uncle, how much did you buy this car? I spent 150 yuan on this car."

Yan Bugui coughed twice and said, "My car is not as good as the second uncle's. I only spent 50 yuan."

"50 yuan! How did you get it?" Everyone was curious, "Could it be that someone stole it and sold it to you?"

Hearing this, everyone thought it made sense. "Uncle, if this was stolen and sold to you, then you have to call the police, otherwise you will have to eat the spoils too."

Hearing this, Yan Bugui frowned, wondering why these neighbors didn't want to order something good.

He said angrily: "Hey, hey, what are you thinking? I'm a teacher, how can I do such a thing? I bought this car from a scrap yard."

Yan Bugui explained the origin of the car, "My car is stamped with a steel stamp, and there is no problem with it at the police station."

After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.

"So it's been repaired." Everyone suddenly lost their original enthusiasm and their attitude became indifferent.

Yan Bugui quickly explained: "Although it is repaired and not as good as the second uncle's, I spent less money and it can be used just the same. It also looks new, so it's not much different."

No one took Yan Bugui's forced explanation seriously.

As the two were chatting, Yi Zhonghai returned to the yard, and Liu Haizhong immediately found him.

"Hey, Lao Yi, why didn't you buy a car? Is it because you can't get one?"

"I almost couldn't get the seat either, but I have many apprentices. They helped me line up and gave the seat to me. I couldn't refuse, so I had to agree."

Liu Haizhong looked at Yi Zhonghai with an embarrassed look, but he was actually very happy in his heart, as he had finally beaten Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai watched him quietly without any reaction. "Congratulations, Uncle Er, you bought a bicycle."

"However, our courtyard is so close to the steel mill that it only takes ten minutes to walk there, so it's not a waste of money."

This was not the reaction Liu Haizhong wanted. He wanted to see Yi Zhonghai get furious.

Yi Zhonghai asked back: "By the way, why did you buy a bicycle? I don't see you go out often. If you buy a bicycle and just leave it there, it would be a waste."

"This" Liu Haizhong was speechless. He just stayed at home and rested during the holidays.

Seeing Liu Haizhong's embarrassing expression, Yi Zhonghai pressed the issue: "Second Uncle, this car was given to you by your disciple out of kindness. You can't waste it. Otherwise, what will your disciple think of it?"

"Will I feel that my master doesn't like me? Will my master still teach me? I have so many questions."

"For the sake of his disciples, Uncle Er should ride his bike to the steel mill in the future. This way, he won't let his disciples down."

Yi Zhonghai's series of questions left Liu Haizhong speechless. He looked around for help and suddenly saw Liu Guangqi.

Suddenly, Liu Haizhong regained his glory, "I will definitely live up to my disciple's kindness, Lao Yi, don't worry."

"But it's not good not to ride a bike. My son Guangqi has grown up. It's time for him to get married and have children."

"Although my son doesn't have a wife now, he is in a relationship. How can he be together without something to support himself?"

Liu Haizhong pushed the bike to Liu Guangqi and said, "Guangqi, you can ride the bike from now on."

"Thank you dad!"

Liu Guangqi thanked happily. He didn't expect that the car was given to him. He was just thinking of a way to get it back.

It will be convenient to find Zhang Lan in the future, and it will also save face.

When Yi Zhonghai heard Liu Haizhong mention the words "son", "grown up", and "married and had children", his face instantly turned dark, like a piece of charcoal.

He hated to hear people mention these words in front of him. It was like poking him in the spine and saying that he was a lost cause.

"Old Yi, this way I won't be disappointing my disciples, right?"

Before Liu Haizhong could finish his words, Yi Zhonghai snorted coldly, looked at him sideways and turned away.

Seeing this, Liu Haizhong felt as if he had won a battle and was extremely happy.

"I can't beat you in terms of work level, and I can still beat you with my son. From now on, I'll compete with my child." Liu Haizhong thought to himself.

Now there are two bicycles in the front yard and the back yard, but none in the middle yard, so they can't be compared, and Liu Hai is very happy.

If Xu Damao and Li Kailang were not here, I would have to bring it out for a competition.

After returning home, Yi Zhonghai wondered whether he should buy one.

"Forget it, why buy a bicycle? It's just such a short distance. I should save the money for my pension. It's not worth it just for this."

"You can walk to work, there's no need to spend this money, you should be low-key."

Having said that, Yi Zhonghai will go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a car tomorrow, but the cars have already been sold out and there is not a single one left.

Yi Zhonghai could only go home with a gloomy face, and from then on he avoided Liu Haizhong when he went out until he got the bicycle ticket.

"Let's go, let's go." There was nothing exciting to watch, so everyone went home.

"Guangqi, let's go home too!" Liu Haizhong was like a victorious rooster, returning home happily.

"Hey, hey, hey, everyone wait! Wait!" Yan Bugui hurriedly called everyone, and everyone finally gathered together.

Everyone turned to look at him, waiting for his explanation.

Yan Bugui immediately said, "Everyone, I bought this car and it's just sitting there. You can borrow it."

"Ah? Really? Thank you very much, uncle. I happen to be busy, could you lend it to me first?" Someone responded immediately.

"Of course you can, but I won't use my car for nothing. It's 2 points each time. If it breaks down, you have to pay for the repairs." Yan Bugui replied.

"If it requires money, forget it."

When they heard that they had to pay, everyone lost interest instantly and turned away.

Yan Bugui immediately asked, "Hey, don't leave. Is the price too high? Can we negotiate?"

No one listened to Yan Bugui and they all quickened their pace to go home.

"How could that be? It's such a good idea, why are you unwilling to do it? Then what about my subsidy plan?" Yan Bugui said disappointedly.

"Boss, your method is useless. No one is willing to do it." said the third aunt.

Yan Bugui couldn't lose face in front of his family, so he said stubbornly, "Don't worry, they will lend it to you later. There's still plenty of time."

"I just don't believe it. If someone doesn't have an emergency and asks me to borrow money, I will charge a higher price at that time."

After saying that, Yan Bugui turned around proudly and went back home, then came out again with a basin of water and a rag.

"Boss, what are you doing?"

Yan Bugui said as a matter of course: "You can't tell, of course we have to get water to clean the car. This is our car, we have to clean it."

"Jiefang, Jiekuang, if I don't clean the car in the future, you two have to help clean it. Don't just sit there doing nothing all day. We don't want to keep idle people in our family."
