Siheyuan: My Emotional Supermarket

Chapter 20

"Have you decided which one you want?"

In the bicycle shop, the shop owner asked impatiently.

Yi Liangchen raised his eyebrows. Selling things at this time is really tough. He thought about whether to buy a durable one, or a lighter one that can be ridden faster. After looking at it for 2 minutes, he became impatient.

"Just choose this one."

Yi Liangchen pointed to a bike path that looked thicker.

He has been here for so long that he knows something about this bicycle.Not to mention those ordinary bicycles, such as the Forever 13 type, 17 type, Phoenix 18 type, etc., all have large chain sets, electroplated single brackets, electroplated rear seat frames, and rotating bells. This is the current original "high-end bicycle". Configuration!"

These bicycles are the most advanced and trendy bicycles now, and are famous all over the country. These tickets are also very difficult to get. If you buy an ordinary bicycle, it will be breaking news. If you can get the latest model of manganese steel, Che, good guy, the shock is almost the same as someone getting divorced or someone dying in their family.

"I knew you would choose Phoenix 18, otherwise you would have lost 10 yuan just for the bicycle ticket." The shop owner muttered and pushed the bicycle out, "185 yuan. Give me the money to get the bike."

Yi Liangchen took out the money neatly. He just happened to have a five-dollar bill before, "185 yuan, please order."

"Then of course, a little bit, you can't go wrong with this thing."

After the store owner finished placing the items one by one, his attitude became better, "Okay, here is the receipt, go to the police station and stamp it on the card, and you can ride this car as you like, and you can't lose it!"

Yi Liangchen nodded with a smile, he couldn't believe it completely, no one would dare to steal the whole car, but he couldn't stand to remove the wheels of the bicycle.

When he arrived at the police station, he spent another two yuan to put a stamp on the card, and he was considered a car owner from then on.

He awkwardly experimented with various starting positions on the road, got familiar with the turns, rang the bell twice from time to time, and returned to the courtyard in the envious eyes of many neighbors.

As soon as he arrived in the front yard, the third uncle with sharp ears heard the slight ringing of the bell. He looked outside and saw Yi Liangchen pushing his bicycle in.

"Amazing, yo, amazing, isn't this Phoenix 18?"

The third uncle hurriedly sat up from the bench and trotted out. When he came to the bicycle, he glanced at it for a while. In the eyes of those who don’t understand, the two or eight bars look similar, but in the eyes of these familiar people, Every detail of this car is perfect.

"Liang Chen, good boy! Where did you get the bicycle ticket? The uncle got it for you? Good job!"

Yi Liangchen shook his head and smiled, "How can my uncle get this model, it's a gift from the leader above after my maintenance worker's work and study."

"It's a gift from the leader!" The third uncle's little triangular eyes widened. It would be great if he could get it, but it was for nothing!
"You are a promising kid. How much did it cost?"

"185 yuan, plus card printing 187 yuan."

Boys like Third Aunt and Yan Jiefang also ran out. Yi Liangchen knew as soon as he saw this posture that he was probably going to be watched here for a while. Today was Saturday.

"Hey, something's wrong! You just said that you have learned all the work of a maintenance worker?" The third master realized it after he understood the matter of money.

"Yes, I'm going to report to personnel tomorrow and then be reassigned to a new position."

Yi Liangchen was talking here, and the commotion of those boys attracted everyone in the yard. The ethereal and crisp sound of the bell rang non-stop, and everyone wanted to fiddle with it.

Naturally, he wouldn't want his bike to be played with like this if it were to be done to others, but Yi Liangchen didn't care in his heart. He had broken two bikes in his previous life, and had also ridden the [-]-meter bar, so now he just wanted to enjoy other people's bikes. Envy, share your fun.

At the front door of the middle courtyard, Mrs. Jia Zhang stood at the door and looked here with a gloomy face, muttering in her heart, "Little bastard, I will make you proud for two more days."

After experiencing the night of heavy rain last time, she had learned a lesson. They were too anxious before, as long as they could hold back their mood, they would always find out Yi Liangchen's habits, and he had to go out.

When the time comes, she can let Sister Zhou and the pretty widow she is looking for come more often, and there will always be a time when they meet.

In the crowd, Yi Liangchen was enjoying the feeling of being surrounded by people with a smile on his face. Vanity is vanity, but he feels comfortable in his heart.

Turning his head, he looked at Jia Zhang, smiled and nodded.

Jia Zhang subconsciously tried to force a smile, but in the end her face just trembled, as if she was shaking with anger.

"Aunt Jia, don't be unhappy when I buy a bicycle. Brother Dongxu has been working for so many years, and buying a bicycle is not easy."

Yi Liangchen said with a smile, secretly happy in his heart, and he knew that he was jealous again when he saw the emotion on the other side.

"My family doesn't buy that stuff. I don't usually use it. It's a waste of money."

After saying this, Mrs. Jia Zhang turned around and left. Because she was a little anxious, her steps were a bit staggering. She had twisted her foot before for half a month and it still didn't work properly.

Wait until the factory gets off work.

Xu Damao wobbled towards the backyard pushing the bicycle allocated to the projectionist by the factory. With a casual glance, he saw the bicycle parked at Yi Liangchen's door.

The shiny silver-white metal bracket and the flawless black paint on the surface all showed that this was a new bike, especially this model that really made him jealous, as it looked much more majestic than the bikes assigned to him by the factory.

"Good boy, the level of gnawing on the old man is quite high. You are really welcome to specify that it was bought by another uncle."

Xu Damao curled his lips and muttered, then pushed the car directly to him. He lowered his head and opened the door and found that no one was there. He looked at the old man for a while, compared it with his own bicycle, and felt a little sad, "This moth family Even though you are so rich, you don’t even think of equipping me with one. So far, the one I ride is still one from the factory, and it keeps breaking down on the road, which is annoying to death.”

Xu Damao didn't bother to look at it, and walked straight towards the backyard. He didn't even glance at the uncle's house when he passed by.

After a while, the first man, Jia Dongxu and Shazhu came back together. They were talking when Shazhu suddenly shouted, "Hey! Look what this is! A bicycle! There's a Phoenix 18 too!"

The uncle turned his head to look, and was also slightly taken aback, at the door of Liangchen?

He was confused, the ticket hadn't been changed yet, but the bicycle had already arrived, or was it Phoenix 18?He hurried towards home.

Sha Zhu followed behind to join in the fun.

Jia Dongxu's face was sombre, because he lost seven front teeth, which made him look sunken, without the spirit he had before.

Silly Zhu walked into the uncle's house and shouted, "Brother, okay, let's allocate a house, buy furniture, and buy a car! Should I buy a watch to take with me in two days?" He looked at Yi with a smile. Liangchen, his eyes are somewhat contemptuous.

This person is not polite. He asked the uncle and the aunt to prepare everything. He just doesn’t know what his temper is. Don’t be like Xu Damao, who is not well-bred!This thief is always peeking at Sister Qin, so he is definitely not a good person.

Yi Liangchen chuckled lightly, "This person has to make progress no matter what. Once the things that need to be done are done, and the preparations are complete, it is time to move on to the major events in life and start living a serious life."

"Hey!"

"Yes! You have educated me, bye bye!"

Silly Zhu turned his head and staggered away with square steps. He was carrying a lunch box with his hands behind his back, and he looked like he was in his thirties or forties.

Yi Liangchen shook his head and said nothing more. There was something wrong with this man's brain. The great chef in the factory in Sijiu City dared to criticize the director of the cafeteria after he became the chef. The girls in the village were queuing up to marry. He had to like whoever he liked. A married woman.

This is inherited from his father, or it may be due to the lack of maternal love since childhood. Qin Huairu is the oldest daughter-in-law among her peers in this courtyard. When she got married, this guy was in puberty, and the object of his fantasies may be Qin Huairu. There are various reasons. No wonder he is being manipulated so hard.

opposite.

Qin Huai Ru family.

This family has been particularly indifferent since a while ago, and even the two children are not very lively.

Jia Dongxu sat in front of the Eight Immortals table without saying a word.With seven front teeth missing, this man's speech is leaky, and he has been ridiculed a lot these days, which is still a great blow to the man's self-esteem.

Then there is the relationship issue with Qin Huairu. There are too many things in my mind. No matter how hard Qin Huairu tries, he can't coax her. Jia Dongxu just pulls the person over to vent when he needs it, but he just does it hastily. The two of them couldn't even speak more than a few words a day.

Mrs. Jia Zhang was sitting on the main seat thinking about adding money. Not only was she caught in the rain that night, but Sister Zhou and the widow who were trying to make money also waited in the rain for a long time. For the five yuan in it, the two of them quit long ago.

Because of this matter, it took another half a month. Sister Zhou, a money fan, had already inquired about the situation of this courtyard house, and knew that Jia Zhang's family was planning for Yi Zhonghai's wealth. Dollars are no longer enough.

Someone had figured out her background and even guessed what she was thinking. Not only did she get extra money for things, but she also received an equally high amount of hush money, which was also 50 yuan.

Jia Zhang didn't want to give it at first, and even wanted to find someone else to do it, but Elder Sister Zhou was not a good person, if she didn't give it, she would have to tell Yi Liangchen about it, and Jia Zhang wouldn't do it if she didn't give it.

"Mom, can what you said happen soon?" Jia Dongxu's voice was a little heavy.If it was because he hated Yi Liangchen that he cut off his source of income before, and later he might have something to do with his wife, then now he is more jealous of this man.

Yi Liangchen has been a popular figure in the courtyard since he came. In less than a month or two, he has become better and better, and his life is getting better and better.

Compared with him, Jia Dongxu couldn't be said to be ordinary, but a little trash, and he was only a first-level fitter for so many years.

It would be okay if this was based on the mentality and thoughts of building for the public, and everyone would contribute their own strength.But he obviously does not have this kind of consciousness and character, and even has the kind of personality that belongs to the kind of person who is in trouble.

"I finally reached an agreement with your Aunt Zhou." Jiazhang was a little tired and heartbroken. That big sister Zhou is a money-grubbing master, and she was targeted by this kind of person. She can do it without spending money?

"This kid goes to the square to watch chess games two days a week. As long as I ask you, Aunt Zhou, to wait a little longer, it should be fine."

Time and time again, it has declined, and three times, Jia and Zhang are no longer as sure as they were the first time, but there is no chance to look back on this matter. The early investment and their losses will not allow them to give up. .

"I hope so." Jia Dongxu took a deep breath and glanced sideways.

Qin Huairu sat quietly next to her, eating the steamed buns in small bites, along with the pickles. She never ate the food in the center of the table, and even picked up the bowl lightly.

And when Jia Dongxu looked at her, she didn't react at all, and just looked at the bun in her hand indifferently. After so many days of tossing, her emotions were almost worn out.

the next day.

Yi Liangchen took his uncle to work on his bicycle. The journey was very pleasant, and the co-workers greeted him one after another.

When I saw the old man off, he looked happy both physically and mentally. The reason for this was that there were guests at home last night.

The matchmaker Zhang entrusted by the aunt finally got news that she had found a very good girl.

According to the matchmaker, the girl is like this: tall, with a big butt that can give birth to children, with regular facial features and fair skin, she is a high school graduate, one is a junior high school teacher in the family, and the other is at work.

The family conditions are very good, much better than Yi Liangchen.If it weren't for the technical secondary school students here, and Yi Zhonghai, the uncle in the yard, and the top fitter's family, they might not have liked it.

I came here this time to ask what Yi Liangchen meant and whether the conditions she mentioned met the requirements.

They were all dictation, and they had never met anyone, so they searched according to Yi Liangchen's favorite criteria at the time, so they naturally met the requirements.

After the woman agrees, the matchmaker needs to go to the woman to discuss the marriage. After the woman agrees, the two can formally arrange a blind date.

Rolling mill office building.

Yi Liangchen came to Tanya's office.

"You are here, and the arrangements for you have been made. This time, what you have to do is quality inspection. This will be taken to you in a while, and you should be able to learn it soon."

Tanya smiled slightly and looked at him with admiration.

"On the other hand, it's about your salary. Qigong is very satisfied with you, so he applied for a two-level salary increase for you. He is your immediate supervisor. Since he has affirmed your ability, the factory also agrees to this. promotion, so your salary will increase by two levels."

"Also, the above has issued a document, and the salary system will change a little. According to the above, from now on there will be no first and second category areas, and the wages in these two major areas will be at the same level as the third category areas."

"That is to say, your original salary of 28.5 yuan will become 30 yuan. If you upgrade two levels, the salary of administrative 24 will be 40 yuan. You are very lucky, because it is the first month of employment, and it will be calculated according to the highest level. . I have already reported the financial report to you. When your salary is paid this month, your salary will be 40 yuan."

Yi Liangchen blinked, "Congratulations, congratulations, your salary has grown even more."

Tanya smiled and nodded, "It's not bad. I have enough meat money for a month."

"Actually, your current administrative level is not too low. From the time you joined the job, you have been assigned to the position of section clerk, which is considered to be a management level. Have you ever thought about developing directly in this field? Or do you want to become an engineer?"

"I've just joined the job now, and I'm not familiar with many matters in the factory. It's better to learn as much knowledge as possible, and follow the leadership's arrangement when I have enough ability."

"With your learning ability, this is fine." Tanya nodded slightly, stood up and walked out of the office, calling a clerk to take Yi Liangchen to report to the new unit.
