At this moment, at He Yuzhu's house, Zhao Wanqiu and her sister were playing poker with the Deaf Old Lady, He Yushui, and the other three. There were not many entertainment activities these days, and most people would go to bed once the sky turned dark. However, it was summer now, and the sun set late in June. The few of them were bored, so they started playing poker. This poker card was the best tool to pass the time.
He Yuzhu was sitting beside Zhao Wanqiu, giving her advice and making a lot of noise. Zhao Wanqiu was extremely annoyed. He Yuzhu looked over coldly and shut up. She quietly watched the four of them play cards.
The four of them played excitedly until 10 p. m. before they stopped after He Yuzhu's persuasion.
He Yuzhu sent the tired and happy Deaf Old Lady back. He then helped Zhao Wanqiu wash her feet. He poured some water and laid on the bed. Zhao Wanqiu said that she was hungry and wanted to eat canned food. Helpless, He Yuzhu could only get up and make a bowl of malted milk for his wife. He took out a can of canned food and fed Zhao Wanqiu.
After Zhao Wanqiu was full, He Yuzhu finished the remaining canned food in a few bites and quickly cleaned up before going to bed. In the end, Zhao Wanqiu threw a tantrum again and insisted that He Yuzhu tell her about her relationship with Qin Huairu. In the end, when He Yuzhu's mouth was dry, Zhao Wanqiu hugged He Yuzhu and fell asleep contentedly.
The next day, when He Yuzhu finished her breakfast and was ready to send her sister to school, Yi Zhonghai walked in and said to He Yuzhu with a smile,""Zhu Zi, yesterday, your auntie told me that we'll be living together in the future. I'm very happy. I'm here to tell you something.”
"First Uncle, if you have anything to say, just say it.”
"There are three families in our courtyard that have bicycles now. In addition to you, there's also your Third Uncle's family and Xu Damao's family. In the past, I thought that the rolling mill was close to our courtyard house and it was convenient to travel. Although I had the best conditions and didn't want to buy a bicycle, now I plan to buy one too.”
"I can accompany you to the department store, but do you have a bicycle ticket?" He Yuzhu smiled.”
"Yes, the factory gave me a bicycle ticket before, but I've been keeping it for a long time.”
"Alright, let's go now."
"Yu Shui, ride your bike to school today." He Yuzhu said to her sister.”
"Alright, brother, I'm leaving." He Yushui smiled happily and left.
He Yuzhu looked at the first uncle's puzzled expression and pretended to take out the bicycle ticket that Factory Manager Yang had given him from his pocket. He smiled and explained to the first uncle,"First Uncle, didn't Manager Yang give me another bicycle ticket some time ago? I was planning to buy another one in the next few days. Since you're going to buy a bicycle today, I'll buy it today too.”
Yi Zhonghai said in surprise,""Zhu Zi, why did you buy two bicycles? It's too wasteful.”
He Yuzhu smiled and said," It's not a waste. In a few months, I'll be going to high school. The school is far away. Although I have to live on campus, I still have to use a bicycle. It's convenient to go home on weekends. When that time comes, there won't be any bicycles at home. I'm planning to let Yiqiu go to school in the new semester. I'll buy another one so that I can send Yiqiu to and from school."”
"Zhu Zi, you're spoiling Rainwater and Yiqiu too much."”
"I have no choice. They are my family. If I don't treat them well, who else can I treat well?”
The first uncle couldn't hide the joy on his face as he smiled and said,"Yes, yes, yes. Zhu Zi is right. You have to treat your loved ones well. Do you have enough money?”
"That's enough, First Uncle. Let's go now.”After He Yuzhu finished speaking, he walked to the street with Yi Zhonghai and took a bus to the department store.
When they arrived at the department store, He Yuzhu led an old man straight to the bicycle counter. After all, He Yuzhu had been here once and was familiar with the place.
When he came to the counter, it was still the saleswoman. He took the bicycle ticket from the uncle and looked at it. It was a pigeon bicycle ticket. He handed the two bicycle tickets and money to the saleswoman and said with a smile,"Comrade, please give me a Flying Pigeon and a Phoenix bicycle.”
When the saleswoman heard the voice, she quickly looked at He Yuzhu and said with surprise,"It's you, comrade. I remember you coming here. Are you here to buy a bicycle again?”
He Yuzhu smiled and replied,"Yes, not only did I come to buy it myself, but I also brought an old man from my courtyard to buy it."”
The saleswoman took the tickets. After verifying that they were correct, she and her colleague pushed two bicycles over with envy. When He Yuzhu was about to leave, the saleswoman asked hesitantly,"Comrade, why did you buy two bicycles?”
"Oh, I'm buying a bike for my wife.”After He Yuzhu finished speaking, he left with the first uncle, leaving behind the sorrowful saleswoman.
He Yuzhu and the old man rode their bicycles to the police station to get the license plate and stamp it. Then, they rode their new car to work happily.
When they arrived at the rolling mill, the workers who were on duty saw them as expected. They surrounded the two of them and chatted for a while. When they found out that He Yuzhu had bought a new bicycle, they kept praising him.
For the entire day, many people in the rolling mill talked about He Yuzhu in private with envy and jealousy. They couldn't help but sigh that such a rich husband was actually not caught by them and was taken advantage of by a foreign girl.
After work, Yi Zhonghai and He Yuzhu pushed their bicycles back to the courtyard house together. It caused a sensation in the courtyard house. Everyone was not only surprised that Yi Zhonghai had bought a bicycle, but also that He Yuzhu had bought a new bicycle.
There was nothing they could do about it. The twenty-odd households in the courtyard house did not have bicycles at first. Then, a year ago, Third Uncle bought one first, and then He Yuzhu bought another one before the Chinese New Year last year. After that, no one bought another one for a long time. Everyone slowly accepted it. In the end, Xu Damao had just bought a bicycle yesterday, and today, First Uncle also bought one. Especially the silly Zhu that everyone called him, he actually bought another one. In just two short days, there were three more bicycles in the courtyard. Thinking about how they could not afford any of them, their eyes could not help but turn red. They were so envious and jealous.
Qin Huairu stood outside the crowd and looked at He Yuzhu. She felt like crying in her heart. She sighed in her heart and wondered why she did not marry He Yuzhu back then. She looked at how well Zhao Wanqiu was living now. Then, she looked at herself. Not only did her husband die, but she also left a family to support herself. She was also often scolded by her mother-in-law.
Xu Damao happened to return at this time. Seeing that the courtyard house was so lively, he wanted to show off his new car. After understanding the details, he glared at He Yuzhu with hatred. He looked down at the scar on his leg that He Yuzhu had caused yesterday. Finally, he looked at the blocked aisle. Everyone kept praising He Yuzhu. He turned around and pushed his bicycle away angrily.
Nearly a hundred people from the courtyard surrounded the first uncle and He Yuzhu. Their voices of envy rose and fell. Fortunately, everyone rationally knew that the two of them had the ability to buy a car. Otherwise, they would have reported them.
Yi Zhonghai was a seventh-grade fitter with a high salary. In the past, Yi Zhonghai was the only one who did not want to buy a bicycle. Otherwise, Yi Zhonghai would be the first person in the yard to own a bicycle.
He Yuzhu was also a chef at the rolling mill. Not only did he earn a good salary, but he also earned a lot by taking private jobs for others. During the New Year, He Yuzhu left early and returned late, bringing back big and small bags. Everyone was jealous, but they had no choice. He earned it with his own abilities.
The crowd discussed for a while more before they were finally sent home by Yi Zhonghai. He Yuzhu even heard someone muttering about wanting their son to learn how to cook.
