On the other side of the door is the courtyard

Chapter 8 School finally starts
The day of signing the contract for "Xiao Bing Zhang Ga" finally arrived.

Yang Yi arrived at the Children's Publishing House at the agreed time, signed the contract under the leadership of Editor Zhao, and then went to the finance department to collect the money.

Since there was a previous request for cash, and since Editor Zhao, an acquaintance, was there, the publishing house took care of Yang Yi a little.Otherwise, according to regulations, for large manuscript fees, you need to get a remittance slip and then go to the bank or post office to collect it in person.Human relations and society, as long as it is not a matter of principle, you can be flexible and understand everything.

After receiving the huge sum of money, I stuffed it into my bag and walked out of the publishing house amidst Editor Zhao's reminder to "be careful on the road."

The first thing I do when I go out is to directly transfer the huge sum of money in my bag to the space.Mom no longer has to worry about my money being stolen!After all, Buddhists in Forty-Nine City are quite rampant in this era.

Then in a small alley that no one passed by, Yang Yi took out a bicycle in the space.

German diamond brand.Yang Yi found it in 2023 time and space.The car is in good condition, and the seller has specially maintained it. The price was 2000 yuan.It's much cheaper than the 1952 yuan in 100.

Take the bike directly to the police station.Then I went to the director's office.

"Uncle Lu, please come."

The director was an old subordinate of my father. When he saw Yang Yi, he greeted him warmly,
"Xiaoyi, you have grown taller and stronger!"

"Yes, I have grown three centimeters and gained twenty pounds in one summer vacation!"

"What do you want from me? Xiaoyi."

"School starts tomorrow. It's a bit far to walk, so I'm thinking about getting a bicycle. A new car is too expensive, so I bought a second-hand one. But it's a private transfer without a certificate. So I came to ask Uncle Lu for help. As a favor, stamp it with a steel stamp."

"It's a small matter. Come on, Xiaoyi, push the car and I'll accompany you to go through the formalities."

With Director Lu's "face brushing", the procedure was completed smoothly.

I walked through the back door twice in one day and felt very happy.

Riding his bike back to the courtyard, he immediately attracted crowds of people.

"Hey, Xiaoyi bought a car. It's a diamond brand. It's a great car!"

Yan Bugui hadn't started school yet, so as the main force of the onlookers, he popularized the brand of this car to everyone.

"School is about to start, isn't it? It's a bit far to walk to No. [-] Middle School, so my parents gave me money to buy a mobility scooter. I couldn't afford a new car, so I got a second-hand one to make ends meet."

"This second-hand one is not bad! It must be at least [-]% new. Can't you get it for less than a hundred or more?"

"Well, this car is in good condition. It won 160."

"It's not a loss at this price." Yan Bugui said.

Then the aunts and daughters-in-law who were watching nearby gasped.After all, 160 yuan is a number that many people can’t save even if they don’t eat or drink for half a year.

"From now on, if there is a happy event or urgent matter in the backyard and you need to use a car, just ask."

It sets the tone that it is okay to borrow a car, but only under special circumstances.Forget it if Yan Bugui borrowed a car just because he was going fishing.

"Xiaoyi is so awesome!" A group of women praised.

Yan Bugui was about to open his mouth to borrow a car to go fishing, but was blocked by Yang Yi's words.Fishing is never an emergency!Lao Yan still wanted to save face, so he could only swallow the words that came to his lips.

I walked into the house with the cart and sorted out the things I would take to school tomorrow.He took out his mobile phone from the space and started to replay the pre-downloaded "Jiang Ping'an Runs and Beats the Siheyuan", also known as "The Children in the Siheyuan All Call Me Dad".

Just like that, it was time for dinner.

"Xiao Yi, please ask me a favor." Silly Zhu said.

"Tell me."

"Yuyu starts going to elementary school tomorrow, and I'm going the same way as you. Can you please drive me there together?"

"No problem. It just so happens that Damao's sister Yanling is from the same school as Yuyu. Brother Zhuzhu asked Uncle Xu. If he is willing, I will take Yanling with me. You can take one on the back seat and one on the bumper. .”

Silly Zhu immediately went over and asked Damao about his father.Of course Lao Xu is willing.So we made an appointment with the two girls to wait at the gate at 7:15 tomorrow to set off together.

With a shiver, Yang Yi woke up.Seeing that it was already past six o'clock, I got up immediately.Banggan hasn’t been released yet, is it up to me, Yang Yi, to create it?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
I took out two burgers, a latte and a box of juice from the space to soothe my injured soul.

At [-]:[-], I picked up two little lolita at the door and rode to school.

Two little lolita were chirping along the way, which was not bad, just like listening to two little oriole singing.

10 minutes later, the little girls arrived.I received two sweet "Goodbye, Xiaoyi brother".Yang Yi, who was full of energy, started riding again.

5 minutes later, the first one arrived.I parked in the carport, locked the car, and arrived at the classroom of Grade [-].

Around 35:[-], my best friend Fatty Lu entered the classroom.

Well, the God of Creation arranged for Yang Yi to grow up together.One year older than Yang Yi.

Yang Yi mentally gave the founding god a middle finger.The bamboo horse is here, but where is the green plum?Does the protagonist have to have a fat supporting character next to him?What a broken setting!This is not modern urban literature.

In fact, Fatty Lu started to gain weight after entering Sijiu City with his parents. 170 is 140 pounds tall. In later generations, he would only be considered slightly obese, but now it makes people feel that he is a bit over-nourished.

"Fat Lu, let me tell you something later during the lunch break." "Yang Xiaoyi, I'm not fat, I'm strong. I've told you so many times."

"There is no word "little" in my name. I have told you this no less than a hundred times."

The two started arguing again, which had not changed since junior high school.

"Okay! How about not changing the name at all?" Fatty Lu suggested.

"Okay, I won't change anything."

Laughing away enmity.

"I went back to my hometown in northern Shaanxi with your dad during the summer vacation. How was it? Tell me."

"It's still the same. It's almost the same as when we were kids."

"That's right. There are more people, less land and poor transportation."

Let alone now, that place will not develop in 60 or [-] years.

After chatting for a few minutes, the classmates all arrived.Then class starts at 45:[-].

The first period is a class meeting.The class teacher's surname is Lin, a female gentleman who looks to be about the same age as my mother.

Teacher Lin first called the 25 students in the class, and then asked the students who were called to give a brief self-introduction.

The male to female ratio in the class is 2:1.There was no way around it. In the 50s, there were really not many girls who went to high school.No. 4 Middle School is the best school, and a second-tier school with a male-to-female ratio of 1:[-] is considered good.Most of the few girls are the children of cadres who have gone to the cities.

When it was lunch break, Yang Yi said to Fatty Lu: "Fatty Lu, don't eat in the cafeteria today. I invite you to eat outside."

"It's a big restaurant. You must go."

So the two of them came to a small restaurant near the school.Yang Yi ordered two bowls of clear soup noodles.

Fatty Lu was dumbfounded.

"We haven't seen each other for the whole summer, so why don't you treat me to this? We're no longer friends."

"Don't worry, I'll bring the toppings myself when the food comes."

"That's more or less."

After the noodles were served, Yang Yi took out the braised eggs and braised chicken legs wrapped in oil paper from the bag.They are all vacuum-packaged products of later generations.Yang Yi took these apart and wrapped them in oil paper.He took out a small paper bag and put half of the instant noodle seasoning in Fatty Lu's bowl and his own bowl.

The junk food of 70 years later conquered Fatty Lu’s taste buds.The unsatisfactory fat man's eyes turned red after eating.

"Xiaoyi, this seasoning and braised sauce are so delicious! I will die if I don't eat it in the future. If you can still get it, I'll buy it!"

"Go away! There are so many. This thing is very valuable. I think I can get it once a week."

"Then I'll be counting on this meal to survive for the next week."

"That's all you have to do, Fatty Lu."

"Did you get this from your eldest and second uncle?" Fatty Lu asked in a low voice.

"Just know what you know, and don't tell anyone else. If others know about it and come to ask me for it, then I can only reduce your share!"

"Don't, I promise not to tell anyone."

"Okay. By the way, Fatty Lu, I have to give some gifts to a few elders during the Mid-Autumn Festival. I guess I have to give them to six families. I'll give you 6 yuan, and you can help me allocate some supplies at five yuan per household."

"Small thing!"

"Okay, I'll give you the money after school. By the way, my family bought me a second-hand bicycle. Did your family buy it for you?"

"Not yet. My old man was a little depressed after he came back from northern Shaanxi. I guess he will have to spare twenty or thirty dollars every month to send it back to his hometown."

"You and your sister are the only two people in your family. We are quite wealthy in terms of money. You should be able to help your relatives."

"Who said it wasn't."

Back at school, since it was the first day of school, there were no new classes in the afternoon.Teacher Lin, the head teacher, asked everyone to elect class leaders in the afternoon.

Yang Yi followed the trend and signed up to be a literary and art committee member.He sang an old song in front of the whole class and was unanimously elected without any surprise.

Then the monitor is a girl.The league secretary is a 19-year-old boy, and he is actually married...

Fatty Lu was also elected as the sports committee member.

After class, I gave the money to Fatty Lu.Then everyone went back to their respective homes to find their respective mothers.
