Although the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had explained it, it was up to them how many people believed it.
However, compared to the stingy gossip of the Jia family, the neighbors were more concerned about Xu Weidong buying two bicycles and becoming a teacher with Miao Zhen for 25 yuan a month.
The topic naturally shifted to the Xu couple.
"Has the Xu family prospered?"
"Exactly!"
In this day and age.
Everyone's conditions were about the same. It was just a competition of who had better food and who bought new clothes.
However, two great things happened to the Xu family at once.
First, the little nun was introduced to the primary school by Director Luo.
He would be able to get a salary of 25 yuan immediately.
Then, Xu Weidong bought two bicycles in one go.
Although no one had seen it with their own eyes.
But ever since the little nun came, Xu Weidong had been buying things almost every day.
It was either the braised stew of the small intestine, the pastries of Daoxiang Village, or the beef noodles.
Although they didn't treat her to a meal, they still gave her White Rabbit Creamy Candies and pastries from the south.
He even bought two sets of clothes for the little nun.
All these signs indicated that the Xu family had prospered.
Although most people were jealous, they were still very rational. They only looked on with envy.
But Second Uncle was suspicious.”
"Second Uncle, how can this be fake? I saw it with my own eyes!”Xu Damao pretended to raise his hand and swear.
"Even though Da Mao likes to joke, but this kind of big matter is still believable.”Someone spoke up for Xu Damao.
"That's strange!" Second Uncle began to analyze.
"Think about it. I usually buy some pastries or clothes.
But if Xu Weidong really bought two cars, it would be wrong!
The number of bicycle tickets in the factory could be counted on one hand every year.
According to seniority, it was not his turn to be a fourth-grade fitter.
I don't even have a grade-7 fitter, so how could he have one?”
Someone started to agree,"Second Uncle, what you said makes sense.”
"What if Xu Weidong gets the industrial voucher?”Another objection was heard.
"Industrial voucher? That was even more impossible. Everyone knew that at least 40 coupons were needed to buy one car. No matter what, it would take 80 coupons to buy two cars.
80, comrades, how many are given to each person every year? Think about it!"
Many people were convinced. Then where did Xu Weidong get the tickets?"
"That's right, that's the main point!" Second Uncle said proudly as if he was the magistrate.
"Could it be that he picked it up?" The person who spoke shook his head.
"That's right. In this day and age, you have to buy tickets for everything.
Have you forgotten what the newspaper said last month? An old teacher from Northern City High School lost a month's worth of food stamps and was so anxious that she wanted to jump into the river!”
"Yes, I remember! The old teacher walked home at night and lost his food ticket. The whole family went out and searched for a night but couldn't find it. They were so anxious that they wanted to jump into the moat.
Later on, the principal was kind enough to vouch for the old teacher. He wrote a guarantee that he did not lose it on purpose. Only after layers of proof did he issue a new set of food stamps.
When the principal went home to deliver the food stamps, the old teacher immediately asked his grandson to kowtow to his benefactor.”
"You should. If you don't have a month's worth of rations, you can only starve to death!”
Second Uncle saw that the topic had changed and quickly pulled it back."So, where did Xu Weidong get the tickets?”
Then, he glanced at Xu Damao.
Xu Damao had an idea.”
"Steal?" Third Aunt covered her mouth in fear.
"It can't be, right? I think Xu Weidong is quite decent. Although he's a loner, he wouldn't steal, right?”There were also some people who spoke fairly.
"You can't know a person's heart by their appearance!" Second Uncle sighed.
"If he really stole it, I, Liu Haizhong, will definitely not let him off! We must not ruin the atmosphere of our courtyard house!”
His righteous voice sounded again.
"That's right, Second Uncle. I support you. You must not ruin the atmosphere of our Siheyuan!”
Xu Damao was the first to respond.
Silly Zhu thought for a while and was smart. He didn't say anything.
After all, whenever he and Xu Damao were at odds with each other, they would always be the ones who cheated Xu Weidong.
" Alright," Second Uncle stood up." Since everyone believes in Liu Haizhong, I'll make the decision. I'll wait for Xu Weidong to come back and interrogate them."”
……
Jia family.
Jia Zhangshi was doing needlework.
After a while, she put down her needlework and started gossiping with Qin Huairu.
"Hey, Huairu, do you think Xu Weidong really stole the tickets?”
Qin Huairu helped the sleeping boy adjust his blanket.
"I don't think so, right?"
"Why not? Otherwise, where would he get the coupons! Didn't you hear what Second Master said? If only he had really stolen it. He would definitely get Second Uncle to send him in.
At that time, we might even be able to get a share of their house. What about the three rooms? It's good that we can get married in the future.”
The more he spoke, the more ridiculous his words became. Qin Huairu could not be bothered to respond.
Xu Weidong wouldn't steal the tickets, would he?
However, she couldn't help but think about the possibility that Xu Weidong had stolen the tickets.
Probably not.
What if the little nun bewitched him?
Qin Huairu suddenly thought of this possibility.
That's right. Ever since the little nun came, Xu Weidong's food and daily necessities had been upgraded.
What if the little nun said she wanted a bicycle?
Xu Weidong loved her so much, so he would definitely find a way to satisfy her!
Silly Zhu always stole food from the canteen for me.
Not only did Qin Huairu's imagination run wild, she even compared Xu Weidong to Silly Zhu.
Fortunately, the Xu couple couldn't hear him.
Otherwise, Miao Zhen would have scolded her to death without any profanities, let alone Xu Weidong.
Forget it. Where's Xu Weidong? Anyway, he would know when he came back tonight!
The most important thing now was to restore his relationship with Silly Zhu and let him continue to bring food for him.
Qin Huairu got up and secretly pulled open the curtains a little. She realized that Silly Zhu was bragging in the courtyard.
There were too many people now, so it was not convenient. She would look for him at night.
She sighed. Sigh, she wouldn't be able to eat meat today. She would definitely ask Silly Zhu to bring meat back tomorrow.
……
Outside the courtyard house.
Xu Weidong and Miao Zhen came back with their bicycles.
"Brother, the bicycle is so beautiful!"
"Do you like it?"
"I like it, I like it the most!"
"Favorite? What about me?" Xu Weidong asked.
"Ah, then the second thing I like is bicycles.”
"What about me?" Xu Weidong asked.
"Okay, I'll tell you when we get home!"
Miao Zhen looked back and smiled brightly. Then, she sped up like a little civet cat and arrived at the entrance of the courtyard house in a short while.
Xu Weidong was worried that she would fall from pushing the cart, so he sped up and followed her.
The little nun was getting more and more lively.？
"Coming, coming."
After hearing Third Aunt's signal, Xu Damao quickly walked to Second Uncle's house.
"Second Uncle, you're here! Coming!"
Second Uncle walked out and swaggered to the entrance of the backyard.
Xu Damao stood beside him.
When he saw Miao Zhen about to push the cart in, he stopped her without hesitation.
Miao Zhen was puzzled and looked back at Xu Weidong.
Xu Weidong could guess what was going on.
It was nothing more than him bumping into Xu Damao when he bought a car during the day, and then he came back to spread rumors. It seemed that he remembered to eat but not to be beaten!
"Move aside!" Xu Weidong's cold voice sounded.
Xu Damao reflexively thought of his finger, which was still swollen.
He subconsciously stepped aside and saw that Second Uncle was bluffing again."It's not me who's looking for you. It's the second uncle of our courtyard, the grade 7 fitter of the rolling mill, Comrade Liu Haizhong!”
Xu Weidong raised his eyes and looked at Second Uncle with a sharp gaze.
Before he could say anything, Second Uncle felt a little weak from his stare.
"What's with that look? Comrade Xu Weidong, I am officially informing you as the second master of the courtyard and the seventh grade fitter of the rolling mill.”
Seeing that Xu Weidong didn't respond, he had no choice but to continue his one-man show.""Please tell me where you got the bicycle coupons because…Comrade Xu Damao reported you for stealing the coupons!”
"Hey, Second Uncle, don't talk nonsense. It wasn't me. Why did you…"
