Chapter 244 The troops are divided into four groups
Going to the place where bicycle license plates are issued, Shazhu followed the four brothers and sisters of Xu Qing and walked together. He was really bored, otherwise he would not have done this trip.
Xu Qing took out the invoice for purchasing the bicycle, put on the license plate, and then applied for the bicycle license as required. Holding a small notebook, he watched the staff smash the steel seals on the handlebars and tripod with a hammer. In this way, it was
Let's work together.
When Xu Fengming saw that it was over, he couldn't bear the excitement in his heart. He immediately stepped across the crossbar, sat on the bicycle, turned to the little girl and said:
"Get in the car, third brother will take you for a walk."
The little girl hesitated for a moment, then walked to her bicycle and sat sideways on the back seat.
Xu Fengming waited for his sister to sit firmly, then stepped on the pedal with his right foot and rode in a circle around his elder brother Xu Qing, Silly Zhu and Xu Aiguo.
Xu Qing smiled and shook his head, then walked outside with Shazhu.
After the license plate is on, the bicycle can now be driven on the street. If it is lost in the future, based on the information registered today, it may be possible to get it back.
After all, it’s a big item worth more than 100 yuan, so it’s natural to feel heartbroken when you lose a car.
Of course, if the steel seal is worn away with an iron file or the license plate is broken off, it will really be impossible to get it back.
Speaking of which, in fact, you still need to pay more attention to yourself at ordinary times. Don't park your bicycle randomly, otherwise if you lose it, who knows how long it will take you to find it.
The weather was getting hot now, so Xu Qing took out 50 cents and gave it to his second brother to buy a few bottles of soda.
The summer is hot and the heat is unbearable. Drinking a bottle of Arctic soda is so refreshing!
After Xu Fengming drove the car twice on the street, he handed the car to his second brother Xu Aiguo so that he could have a good time.
In the past, only the third uncle and Xu Damao had bicycles in the courtyard.
The third uncle regarded his bicycle as a treasure. Even his own son had no hope of riding it, and Xu Aiguo and Xu Fengming naturally couldn't borrow it.
Xu Damao is easier to talk to. If he is not busy, let them ride a few laps in the yard.
However, now that they have bicycles at home, Xu Fengming and Xu Aiguo can ride whatever they want.
When he returned to the compound, the third uncle in the front yard was summoning everyone in the compound to help him find his two sons, Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang.
As soon as Xu Aiguo pushed his bicycle into the front yard, everyone turned to look at the brand-new bicycle next to Xu Aiguo.
"Qingzi, you are very efficient. The factory just gave you a bicycle ticket yesterday, and I bought it back today. It's not bad. Brother, let me give your new bike a try."
Xu Damao was not interested in helping the third uncle find his son. He held a cigarette in his mouth and walked to Xu Aiguo while talking. He reached out and took the new bicycle he just bought. He immediately sat on it and started spinning in the front yard.
Son.
Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang looked at the new car under Xu Damao with their sticks in their eyes, with envy in their eyes.
Their family can't afford it, their lives are tight, and they don't even have a dime of spare money, so how can they dare to dream of a bicycle?
Standing next to the second uncle and the second aunt, the two brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu had greed in their eyes.
There are four families living in the backyard. In addition to their family, they are Xu Qing and Xu Damao's family, plus the old lady.
Only Xu Damao had a car in the backyard before, but Xu Qing's family also bought one today. Liu Guangtian snorted, tilted his head, glanced hard at the new car under Xu Damao, turned to look at Liu Haizhong and said:
"Dad, look, in our backyard, we are the only one without a car."
Liu Haizhong raised his eyelids, glared at Liu Guangtian, and said in a deep voice: "If you have the ability, buy it for yourself, don't even think about asking me to buy it for you!"
Liu Guangtian glanced at his brother Liu Guangfu, and when he saw that Guangfu didn't agree with him, he stopped talking.
And Liu Haizhong, the second uncle, doesn’t want to buy a bicycle.
I have secretly saved money over the years, which is enough to buy two cars.
The problem is, how can I buy a bicycle ticket if I don’t have one?
As for industrial coupons, I don’t have many, so I can’t borrow them from anyone.
When I saw Xu Qing's new car, I was jealous and felt very uncomfortable at the same time.
As a cadre, Xu Qing bought another car today.
Dumping him, the man in charge of the backyard, thousands of miles away.
How can I feel better in the center of my bangs?
However, the first uncle Yi Zhonghai and the first aunt were not envious and were the first to congratulate Xu Qing.
This old couple doesn't care about these gadgets. They have no children, and whether they have bicycles or not is irrelevant to them.
When the third uncle saw the new car, his eyes showed surprise.
But after a quick mental calculation, I felt that Xu Qing could indeed afford it.
Xu Qing started working in the factory in 1963, and his salary increased. He saved ten or twenty yuan every year. After a few years, he could afford to buy a bicycle without closing his eyes.
Moreover, Xu Qing, the four brothers and sisters, have never been seen spending money lavishly in the courtyard. In addition to normal expenses, they almost never spend a penny randomly. If they don't use the money they save, they will buy more than one car.
For bicycles.
Secondly, Xu Qing also has the support of his grandparents in the countryside.
There is nothing unusual about buying a car.
However, Yan Bugui had no intention of taking a good look at Xu Qing's new car at the moment. An idea came to his mind and he said to Xu Qing:
"Xu Qing, you happened to buy a car today, so do the third uncle me a favor and ride out to find my Jiefang Xiekuang."
Yan Bugui is really anxious. Yesterday, I heard from Si Zhu that he met Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang at the entrance of the alley in the morning.
The third uncle and the third aunt ran out of the compound last night and searched for it on the street, but couldn't find it. Today they thought of asking people in the compound to help look for it.
Xu Qing heard this and nodded in agreement.
After all, Xu Qing had asked the third uncle for help before. Although the matter did not work out in the end, it was not because Yan Bugui did not do his best.
Yi Zhonghai saw Xu Qing agreeing directly and Si Zhu was back, so he suggested:
"Well, let's divide it up. Lao Yan and your family will go to the east to search; Shazhu, I, and Qin Huairu, the three of us will go to the west; Lao Liu, you will take your two boys to the north; Xu Damao, you and the three brothers Xu Qing, will go to the west.
You two bikes, run fast and go to the southernmost point."
After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, he paused and then said: "If everyone has no objections, let's set off now and meet back in the courtyard at two noon."
Xu Qing didn't have any objections. After letting the little girl go back to the backyard, he and Xu Damao got on the car, taking Aiguo and Feng Ming respectively, and headed south along the alley.
Liu Haizhong said nothing. He was smoking a cigarette and urging the reluctant brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu to go north with his hands behind his back.
Just when Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu were about to leave the compound and head west, Yan Jiecheng from the third uncle's family quit.
"Dad, you, my mother, and Jie Di, the three of you go find me. I made an appointment with Yu Li today. I have something else to do, so I won't go. Anyway, Jiefang Xie Kuang, they both went to the alleyway yesterday and didn't go home.
Even if I find him, I may not come back with you."
After Yan Jiecheng finished speaking, he put his hands in his pockets and ran out of the courtyard quickly.
Yan Bugui was immediately furious. Everyone else in the compound was willing to help, but his boss was left behind.
This third uncle is so angry in his heart.
Yi Zhonghai looked at Yan Bugui with a sullen expression, "Old Yan, you can take care of your own affairs, we will leave first."
After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, he took Shazhu and Qin Huairu and walked out of the courtyard, walked onto the street and headed west.
Yan Bugui pushed the bicycle, sighed, and had no choice but to walk eastward with his daughter Yan Jiedi, who was quite obedient.
What can he say? His son is disobedient because he has failed to discipline him well and he cannot blame others.
I can only blame myself for not having a good education since childhood.
Everyone in the courtyard divided their troops into four groups and started searching in Sijiu City.
But Sijiucheng is so big, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and there are many young students on the streets.
It’s not easy to find at all.
That is to say, compared to last year, when I found the two brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu at night, I was a little stronger.
What can I say, it's broad daylight now.
Xu Qing and Xu Damao rode their bicycles, one behind the other, searching for the groups of young students walking around in Nancheng.
However, more than an hour later, Xu Damao reached out and wiped the sweat off his forehead with his arm, stopped his bicycle, held a cigarette in his mouth, and handed one to Xu Qing:
"Qingzi, in my opinion, let's just leave it like this. It's such a hot day. Where can we find it? Nancheng is so big. If we ride a bike, we won't be able to finish the whole day."
Xu Qing unbuttoned his collar, holding the cigarette given by Xu Damao in his left hand, lying on the bicycle, looking at the group of young people walking by, his brows furrowed.
Today is the weekend and it is during the summer vacation. There are so many people on the street that it is really hard to find.
But since I promised the third uncle, I can only talk about it at two o'clock in the afternoon.
At the same time, Shazhu and Qin Huairu, who were following Yi Zhonghai in the west, were a little discouraged.
Mainly because of Yan Jiecheng's words, they both lost their spirits at all.
It was clear that Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiefang were his biological brothers, but the eldest brother actually didn't look for him. Silly Zhu felt that he might as well lie in the room and have a comfortable sleep today.
The bangs in the north are so hot that sweat is pouring down my neck. I have to help the third uncle find Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang in the youth team, and at the same time, I have to urge my two lazy sons, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu.
