Chapter 162 Clever Stick Joke
The first bicycle in the courtyard house belonged to Xu Fugui.
Actually, it was the steel rolling mill that allocated the equipment, just so that Xu Fugui could take the equipment to the countryside to show movies to the villages.
The equipment used for showing movies at that time was quite heavy. If you asked someone to carry it to the countryside to show movies, that would be blatantly ripping people off.
Now is the time when the working class and peasantry lead everything.
If such an arrangement were actually made, even the leaders of the steel rolling mill would not be able to withstand it.
Yan Bugui's expression at this moment was quite complex.
Xu Fugui was not someone to be trifled with. Getting him to treat you to a meal, especially one paid for with bicycles distributed by the steel mill, was simply out of the question.
Li Qin's meaning is now very clear: if Xu Fugui doesn't treat everyone, he won't treat everyone because of the bicycle.
This left Yan Bugui feeling quite helpless.
He wanted to continue persuading Li Qin, but Li Qin didn't give him the chance.
Taking advantage of Yan Bugui's momentary lapse in concentration, Li Qin immediately increased the force of pushing the bicycle.
Caught off guard, Yan Bugui's hand was suddenly freed.
Li Qin then pushed his bicycle into the Intermediate People's Court without giving Yan Bugui a chance to speak.
There were also quite a few people in the Intermediate Court at this time.
Jia Zhangshi was sitting at the entrance of the Jia family home, seemingly making shoe soles.
The pheasant was playing in the yard, an older woman was washing vegetables by the pond, and there were two other residents from the middle courtyard.
They were all at their own doorsteps at that moment.
When these people saw Li Qin pushing his bicycle in, they all showed strange expressions.
"Xiao Li, did you buy a bicycle?"
An older woman asked with great curiosity.
Upon hearing this, everyone else also looked towards Li Qin.
[Emotional Power +1000]
[Emotional Power +1000]
[Emotional Power +1000]
[Emotional Power +1000]
[Emotional Power +800]
[Emotional Power +500]
Hearing the continuous notification sounds in his ears, Li Qin's eyes were filled with joy.
However, he didn't forget to answer the old lady's question;
"I just got promoted and can't afford a bicycle. This bicycle was assigned to me by the purchasing department of the steel rolling mill so that it would be convenient for me to go out and make purchases."
Upon hearing Li Qin's answer, the middle-aged woman's face lit up with understanding.
Meanwhile, other people who were watching Li Qin and the bicycle he was pushing also showed strange expressions in their eyes and on their faces.
After learning that the bicycle was not bought by Li Qin, these people felt much better.
Li Qin saw their reactions but said nothing.
He simply nodded to the older woman and then pushed his bicycle toward the backyard.
Those in the central courtyard looked at Li Qin's retreating figure, their faces flashing with envy and jealousy.
The most obvious among them was Jia Zhangshi, who sat at the entrance of the Jia family's house:
Watching Li Qin's departing figure, Jia Zhangshi muttered to herself:
"It's outrageous! My son Dongxu has worked at the steel rolling mill for so many years and he's never been given a bicycle, while this kid has only been working there for a few days."
They not only provided several rooms, but also bicycles.
In her mind, both the house in the backyard and the bicycle now belong to their family.
"Grandma, chicken, what a beautiful pheasant!"
Just then, Banggeng, with his short legs, ran up to Jia Zhangshi.
At this moment, Bang Geng's face was full of excitement.
Madam Jia looked at the stick with some doubt, and then asked in confusion;
"My dear grandson, what chicken did you say? Where are there wild chickens?"
Bang Geng pointed in the direction Li Qin left, then said with an envious look;
"I just saw two really big and beautiful pheasants on the back of that uncle's bicycle."
It turns out that everyone's attention was focused on Li Qin and the bicycle, but they didn't notice the pheasant tied to the back seat.
Upon hearing Bang Geng's words, a look of greed and jealousy flashed across Jia Zhangshi's face;
"That heartless brat! He had a pheasant, but he didn't even share one with my family. He hid it away. He has absolutely no manners."
Jia Dongxu did not die, and Jia Zhangshi had not yet become a necromancer;
However, the inherent selfishness, greed, and unreasonableness already exist.
It's just that it's not as obvious as it is later on.
"Grandma, I want to play with the pretty pheasant feathers, and I also want to eat chicken."
Banggeng looked at Jia Zhangshi with a hopeful expression.
Upon hearing this, Jia Zhangshi's expression froze.
Madam Jia is too ashamed to ask Qin Huairu to borrow meat from Li Qin's house, nor does she care if Bang Geng goes to Li Qin's house to steal things.
If they really did that, the Jia family would never be able to hold their heads up in this courtyard.
Men in Beijing are all very concerned about their image.
At that time, Jia Dongxu, the head of the family, will be so ashamed that he will die.
Knowing all this, Jia Zhangshi could only helplessly comfort Banggeng;
"My dear grandson, let's not eat pheasant, okay? Grandma will tell you, pheasant meat doesn't taste good at all."
Jia Zhangshi could only deceive Bang Geng with lies.
But she underestimated the stick.
It must be said that Bang Geng was quite clever; he didn't believe Jia Zhangshi's words.
Banggeng immediately grabbed Jia Zhangshi's arm, shaking it as he said:
"Grandma, you're lying. Chicken is the best, and pheasant feathers are very beautiful. I want them."
Children at this age don't have many toys.
Beautiful pheasant feathers are a very rare toy.
If someone's child has it, they will instantly become the center of attention.
Looking at the boisterous stick, Jia Zhangshi suddenly felt a bit overwhelmed.
At this moment, she couldn't help but curse Li Qin in her heart:
"Damn Li, doesn't he know how to hide the pheasant properly? All he does is cause trouble."
This is Jia Zhangshi's peculiar logic.
At times like this, she wouldn't think she was wrong, nor would she think Bang Geng was wrong; she would only think that the source of all the problems was Li Qin.
So they can only blame Li Qin.
Seeing the rambling ramblings, Jia Zhangshi had no choice but to turn around and call out to her family behind her.
"Huai Ru, come and comfort Bang Geng."
Qin Huairu, who was cooking, came out of the kitchen when she heard Jia Zhangshi's call.
After learning the whole story, Qin Huairu had no choice but to comfort Bang Geng.
But Banggeng remained relentless.
Finally, having exhausted all other options, Qin Huairu had to bring up Jia Dongxu to finally calm the situation down.
After this incident, Jia Zhangshi, Qin Huairu, and Bang Geng all had some thoughts about Li Qin.
As Li Qin walked towards his home in the backyard, listening to the constant notification sounds, his mood improved more and more.
However, this is just the beginning.
Now, whether it's the front yard, the middle yard, or the back yard, people have seen him pushing his bicycle back.
Once everyone returns to work, this matter will definitely spread, and we'll surely gain even more emotional support.
Li Qin casually parked his bicycle outside his window.
After locking it up, he first put the two pheasants from the car into the kitchen.
Because I hadn't been in the kitchen for several days, and Beijing is inherently dusty, even though the kitchen doors and windows had been closed before.
However, a layer of dust still settled in the kitchen.
Most people might not care.
However, Li Qin, who was used to cleanliness and tidiness, found it somewhat difficult to accept.
