Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Yan Bugui pushed an almost new bicycle into the courtyard, which immediately caused a commotion.

In the entire No. 95 courtyard, there are more than a dozen households, but only He Yuzhu and the Xu family have bicycles.

Yan Bugui was the third person to own a bicycle, better than Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong.

People who were far away wanted to reach out and touch it, but Yan Bugui did not stop them: "Five cents for each touch."

The price is clearly marked, so no one can be deceived.

Even Yan Bugui's son had to pay five cents if he wanted to touch it.

When others saw it, they were speechless.

Everyone knows that Yan Bugui only cares about money and not people.

In the face of money, neither father nor son is of any use.

The two uncles, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong, had gloomy faces the whole time.

The three uncles didn’t buy a bicycle, so why should Yan Bugui buy one?

Yi Zhonghai used the old trick to deal with him: "Old Yan, it's just right to buy a bicycle. It will be convenient for people in the courtyard to use bicycles in the future.

Unlike some people, who leave their bicycles unused at home and don’t even give them to their neighbors to use.”

The next people to be discussed are naturally the Xu family and He Yuzhu.

Yi Zhonghai wanted to use the selfishness of these two families to trick Yan Bugui.

When the people in the courtyard heard this, they felt that Yi Zhonghai had made the decision for them and they could ride bicycles as they pleased from now on, so they all spoke up.

Yan Bugui was no pushover either, and he followed Yi Zhonghai's words and said, "What Lao Yi said makes sense. As the liaison officer of the hospital, I must help the people in the hospital.

However, this bicycle will wear out as long as it is ridden.

If it wears out, you have to spend money to repair it. That's a lot of money.

I only make 27.5 yuan a month, which is not enough to support my family.

Our family definitely cannot afford to pay for the wear and tear.

In this way, whoever wants to ride a bicycle in the future will only have to pay fifty cents a day."

Yi Zhonghai's face darkened again.

He wanted to cheat Yan Bugui, but he didn't expect that Yan Bugui was one step ahead of him. He actually took advantage of his words and started asking for money from the people in the courtyard.

From then on, when people paid for riding Yan Bugui's bikes, they all thought of him.

"Old Yan, you should not be so selfish."

Yan Bugui said, "Old Yi, if you are not selfish, then buy a bicycle and put it in the yard for everyone to use."

With the example of He Yuzhu dealing with Yi Zhonghai, Yan Bugui didn't need to find excuses on his own.

Yi Zhonghai snorted and left, shaking his sleeves.

Yan Bugui didn't care at all. He asked the third aunt to get a cloth so that he could wipe the bicycle.

Liu Haizhong walked over and said, "Old Yan, why didn't you tell me you were buying a bicycle?"

Yan Bugui didn't even look up: "I'm also a liaison officer, why should I tell you that? If you have the ability, go buy a new one."

Liu Haizhong said angrily: "Buy it if you want, you think you can't afford it."

Yan Bugui said, "Of course you can afford it, but can you get a bicycle ticket?"

Liu Haizhong also left with a gloomy face.

When everyone saw that Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong had both been humiliated in front of Yan Bugui, they were even more afraid to step forward.

When He Yuzhu came back in the evening, he was surprised to see Yan Bugui cleaning his bicycle at the door.

Yan Bugui's bicycle was built some time earlier than the time Sha Zhu remembered.

"Uncle, you bought a bicycle, which is a great event. We should treat you to a meal to celebrate."

Yan Bugui said, "Nowadays, everyone eats from the same big pot, and you don't eat in the courtyard, so how can you celebrate?"

He Yuzhu said: “The meal is free, you can treat us to a drink.

You buy a few bottles of wine tomorrow and I'll bring back lunch. Then we can drink together, and it will be like you treating us."

Yan Bugui didn't expect that He Yuzhu could use this trick, and he suddenly found it difficult to defend himself.

He used to use this trick to force others to treat him.

However, he soon figured it out.

He Yuzhu bought a bicycle, and he was not invited to his wedding. Why should he invite He Yuzhu? "You didn't invite me when you bought a bicycle."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "If you say so, don't use those bullshit rules to make me treat you when I buy something in the future."

In order to avoid paying for it himself, Yan Bugui agreed to it directly. But whether he could do it or not was hard to say.

Just as He Yuzhu was dealt with, Xu Damao and Xu Fugui also returned.

"Old Yan, I bought a bicycle. When will you treat us?"

Xu Damao also said, "That's right, Uncle San, when we bought a bicycle, you stayed at our house for a drink."

Yan Bugui then used the same trick he used against He Yuzhu.

Xu Fugui was not stupid either, and he quickly thought of the same trick: "This is easy, we'll be having dinner soon. You can bring a few bottles of wine, and when everyone is eating, it will be like you treating them."

Yan Bugui was really dumbfounded this time.

If He Yuzhu hadn't gone out, he would have thought that He Yuzhu and Xu Fugui had discussed it beforehand.

"Lao Xu, my salary is not high. I spent all my savings on the bicycle. How can I afford to treat everyone to drinks?"

Xu Fugui hated Yan Bugui for ruining Xu Damao's blind date and didn't give him face at all: "That's none of my business. I invited you to drink, so you must treat me back. That's the rule."

He Yuzhu saw that Xu Fugui did it on purpose, and he had no intention of getting involved.

He Yuzhu went home, packed up briefly, picked up He Yushui, and left the courtyard to go to the nursing home.

Lin Jinghan is pregnant, so He Yuzhu naturally won't treat his wife badly.

He secretly stewed chicken soup in the yard to nourish Lin Jinghan.

When they arrived at the courtyard, He Yuzhu asked He Yushui to go to the nursing home to find Lin Jinghan, while he began to slowly stew the chicken.

Under his operation, the aroma of chicken soup soon wafted through the yard.

At this time, all the neighbors went to the cafeteria to eat. The cafeteria was far away from here and would not attract other people's attention.

Soon, Lin Jinghan came back with He Yushui.

The two of them didn't ask where He Yuzhu got it from and sat down to eat.

During the meal, we couldn't help but talk about the Siheyuan.

Lin Jinghan felt a little regretful: "If I had known that the courtyard was so lively, I should have gone back to take a look."

He Yuzhu said, "Don't go back. Going back is already troublesome enough. How is the food in the nursing home?"

Lin Jinghan said: “The nursing home is fine, the food supply is sufficient, and there are many elderly people, so they don’t eat much, and the remaining food is enough to last for a long time.

But the food nearby is not good. We have started eating steamed buns made from flour."

He Yuzhu said: "This is normal. Soon, there will be insufficient food and the canteen will no longer be able to operate."

Lin Jinghan was shocked: "Are you telling the truth?"

He Yushui also stopped and looked at He Yuzhu.

After waiting for He Yuzhu's confirmation, she even laughed.

The He family had no shortage of food or good food. The big canteen was a good thing for others, but not so good for them.

He Yuzhu said to the two men, “I am the deputy director of the canteen and I know the food reserves of the steel mill.

The warehouses at the steel mills are almost empty now. There is not much white flour left, only corn flour.

And there is not much cornmeal left, and it will soon run out.

If I'm right, the cafeteria can only last a month and a half at most."

Lin Jinghan asked: "If the cafeteria is closed, what will happen to everyone's meals?"

He Yuzhu said: "We can only divide the remaining food and each eat his own food."

He Yushui said: "Then there will be a commotion in our courtyard."

There will definitely be some fuss.

But there’s no way to make a fuss. Even without Sha Zhu, the scapegoat, don’t we still have Yi Zhonghai?

As long as he is willing to spend the money, there will be no trouble.

He Yuzhu instructed He Yushui: “When the canteen in Yard 87 is closed, don’t worry about how they divide the food, and don’t worry about the food.

You won’t starve in our house.”

He Yushui said: "Brother, I know everything." (End of this chapter)
