Living in a Siheyuan

Li Pingan's home, Li Pingan returned home after coming back from Yi Zhonghai's home. He tidied up a little, and took out the thermos and other things and placed them in the living room outside. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain if someone came and saw that the house was empty.

After waiting for a long time, I saw the deaf old lady come in with an old lady and Qin Huairu.

There was no need to say any more polite words, as they were almost at loggerheads. The lady put three thousand yuan on the table and said to Li Pingan, "Pingan, I've got the money for you. Please write a letter of apology. I'll go to the police station."

Li Pingan looked at the money and said, "I have already written the letter of understanding. As for the money, please wait a moment. I have a voluntary compensation agreement here. Please take a look and sign it. I will also ask someone else to sign it as a proof."

After that, he took out a voluntary compensation agreement and gave it to the aunt. The aunt took it and read it, then gave it to the deaf old lady. Several people read it. The deaf old lady no longer dared to underestimate Li Pingan. This guy was very smart. This was to prevent them from having a backup plan. If someone used this money to make trouble again in the future, they would not be afraid.

There was no other way, so they all signed. Li Pingan went out to find the three aunts and Zhao Dahai's wife, who lived between the front and middle yards and was only in her thirties. On the way, he roughly explained the situation to the two of them, and then gave each of them a dollar. The two happily agreed. Everyone was at work at this time, and there was no one else in the yard. Besides, many people couldn't write their own names. Just make do!

He took the two of them into the house and asked them to sign. In front of everyone, Li Pingan took out the letter of understanding he had just written during the break and gave one copy to Auntie and Qin Huairu respectively. The procedures here were considered complete.

After receiving the letter of apology, the two hurriedly took the deaf old lady out, probably wanting to take Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu home as soon as possible. Li Ping'an also politely sent the third aunt and Zhao Dahai's wife out.

After putting away the things in the house and locking the door after leaving the yard, Li Pingan walked towards the supply and marketing cooperative. It was still mid-afternoon, so he should have enough time to go shopping.

When we arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, we could buy some vegetable and grain seeds without tickets, and Li Ping'an was not picky. He bought a little bit of everything that was available, and also bought a lot of grain seeds. Wheat, corn, rice, sorghum, soybeans, etc. Vegetables were basically tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, eggplants, beans, cabbage, green vegetables, etc. If we were lucky, we could also get watermelon and strawberry seeds, so we bought those too.

After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, he found a deserted place and put all the things into the space. He continued to walk towards the department store. Fortunately, it was not too far. When he got here, although it was not a holiday, there were still many people. When he came to the second floor where bicycles were sold, Li Pingan looked carefully. He took out the ticket and saw that it was permanent. There was nothing he could do. Although he thought the Phoenix was good-looking, he could only buy the brand specified on the ticket.

After paying 186 yuan and a bicycle ticket, this brand new Forever 28-bar bicycle was his. The salesperson handed him a receipt as proof and told him to go to the Public Security Bureau to get the stamp. When he pushed the bicycle downstairs, he saw someone selling apples. There was a shortage of supplies now, so there were no off-season fruits. Only these apples were easy to store and were still for sale. He bought some fruit, got on his bicycle and went to the Public Security Bureau.

The rate of turning heads along the way is amazing, which is more impressive than driving a BMW in the future. Li Ping'an is tall and handsome, and he has been reading a lot, so he has a scholarly air. It seems that the girls and wives on the street are secretly looking at him. No, run away quickly. Boys must protect themselves when they go out.

Arriving at the Public Security Bureau, he registered at the gate and went directly to see Zhang Zhiyong. After all, the money today was obtained by others, so it would be unreasonable not to thank them. Carrying the apples in the net bag, he went to Zhang Zhiyong's office on the second floor. He knocked on the door and went in after hearing the response.

Zhang Zhiyong looked at Li Ping'an, who was smiling and holding a net bag of apples, and said angrily, "What? It's been such a short time since we last met, and you're already alienated? Do you know how to give gifts?"

Li Pingan quickly explained, "Uncle Zhang, I finally had a chance to be happy about something, but you scolded me for it. Do you think I should talk to Aunt Wang about it?"

Zhang Zhiyong said unhappily, "What good news? How much money did you pick up? I'll be happy if you tell me about it."

Li Pingan placed the apple on the table next to him and sat opposite him, then said, "I just bought a bicycle. This is my first bicycle in my life. Is it a happy event?"

Zhang Zhiyong knew that his wife had given Li Ping'an a bicycle ticket, so he said without saying anything: "Well, I'll let you go this time, but don't buy anything from me anymore. I don't need anything here."

Li Pingan also promised: "Okay, Uncle Zhang! There is another thing worth celebrating. Do you want to hear it?"

"what's up?"

So Li Pingan told Zhang Zhiyong about writing the letter of apology. Zhang Zhiyong was also shocked after hearing it. He didn't expect this guy to be so ruthless. He thought that he could ask for a thousand yuan at most, but this guy squeezed out three thousand yuan at once. He was even more ruthless than him, and he still gave it to him.

"I didn't expect you to be such a wicked person. I was so afraid that you would suffer that I spent so much time telling you off."

Li Pingan quickly said, "That's because you don't understand them. We live in the same courtyard, so you know their background better."

Zhang Zhiyong didn't say anything after hearing this. He thought that if he could make more money, he would feel less guilty.

He still instructed: "Don't spend the money recklessly even if you have it. Save it for school well. You will have more places to spend money in the future." Li Ping'an quickly promised not to spend the money recklessly and then let him go.

Then he told Zhang Zhiyong that he was going to put a steel stamp on the bicycle.

Zhang Zhiyong packed up his things when he saw that it was almost time to get off work, and went downstairs with the apples that Li Pingan brought. He first asked Li Pingan to push his bicycle to the nearby row of bungalows, where someone was specially responsible for stamping the bicycles. After some work, he gave Li Pingan a small notebook and told him that he would have to pay two yuan every year.

Li Pingan followed Zhang Zhiyong, pushing his new bicycle. As soon as he walked out of the Public Security Bureau, he saw Aunt Yi Zhonghai, Jia Dongxu, and Qin Huairu. It's true that enemies often meet on a narrow road. The four people over there also saw Zhang Zhiyong and Li Pingan, and saw the new bicycle Li Pingan was pushing. Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu's eyes were red, because they bought the bicycle with their own money. They both had no bicycles, but Li Pingan rode one. After staring at Li Pingan coldly, Yi Zhonghai turned around and left, and Jia Dongxu hurriedly followed behind.

Zhang Zhiyong also saw this and said to Li Pingan, "You should be careful when you live there in the future. If you offend them this time, they might play dirty tricks on you."

Li Pingan said indifferently: "It's okay, I might go to school tomorrow, and they won't be able to see me."

Seeing this, Zhang Zhiyong didn't say much. After chatting for a few words, they went home separately.

After Li Pingan and Zhang Zhiyong separated at the door, they rode their bicycles back and soon caught up with Yi Zhonghai and his four companions. Li Pingan deliberately rang the bicycle bell and came over from the side of the four people. He said, "Hey! Uncle, you look so bad. Do you want me to take you for a ride?"

After saying that, he rode away on his bicycle without waiting for Yi Zhonghai to reply. Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he vomited blood, and he swore fiercely in his heart that he must make Li Ping'an pay.

Li Ping'an didn't care at all. He wanted to take this opportunity to go to the vegetable market, where many things didn't require a ticket.

When he arrived at the market, there were so many people. People were just getting off work. Li Ping'an pushed his bike and squeezed in while ringing the bell. Soon he saw an old man selling eggs and a few chickens. Li Ping'an stopped his bike and took a look. There were about twenty eggs, three half-grown hens, and a rooster. Needless to say, Li Ping'an bought them all for eleven yuan. He walked around inside again and bought some vegetables and other things. He was lucky enough to buy a goose, but it was a pity that there was only one male. Forget it, just keep it for now and pair it up with another one later. Seeing that there was nothing else, Li Ping'an rode his bike back.

When I arrived at the gate of the courtyard, I met the door god Yan Bugui as soon as I got off the car.

When the third uncle Yan Bugui saw Li Pingan riding a new bike, he immediately became excited. He had been saving money for a long time and wanted to buy a bicycle, but he didn't have a ticket. So he planned to buy a second-hand one that didn't require a ticket, but Li Pingan, a poor boy, got to ride a new bike. Isn't this a loss of face?

He quickly came forward and touched the new front and frame of the car, more attentively than he would touch his own wife. Li Pingan got goose bumps. He pushed Yan Bugui's hand away and said, "Uncle, if you want it, go buy it now. You can't take someone else's car home."

Yan Bugui was not angry. He looked at Li Ping'an and said, "Ping'an, tell me the truth. Where did you get this bike? Don't let it belong to someone else and you break it. If you bump into a new bike, you will have to pay for it." Yan Bugui would not suspect Li Ping'an of stealing the bike. Given the original owner's personality, even if he suspected that everyone in the hospital was a thief, he would not suspect Li Ping'an. He did not have the courage.

Li Ping'an was not in a hurry to go back. Anyway, Liu Mi in the space might have already prepared his meal. He could just go back and take it out and eat it directly.

He said to Yan Bugui in a bad mood: "What's the matter, Uncle? Can't I buy a new car by myself?"

Yan Bugui said, "As for you, it's not that Third Master underestimates you. I won't tell you what will happen in the future. Our two families are so close, how can I not know what's going on in your family?"

Hey! This old Yan is looking down on people through the cracks in the door. He reached into his pocket and took out the newly issued bicycle license and handed it to him.

Yan Bugui took the bicycle license and looked at it. Wow! It was really Li Pingan's name. Yan Bugui believed it now. But where did he get the money? If Yan Bugui came home from get off work and sat for a while, maybe the third aunt would tell him that Li Pingan had received 3,000 yuan today, but the third uncle came home from get off work and just lingered at the door. The third aunt had no chance to tell him about it.

Li Pingan said with a smile: "I can't help it, I've been very lucky recently, I picked up money and tickets while walking."

Yan Bugui said coldly: "You little brat, you're making fun of the Third Master. Where did you find it? Take me with you to pick it up once."

As they were talking, Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu came to the door. Li Pingan saw them and said, "It's not certain that you can go. When I picked it up, the old man and Jia Dongxu saw it. How can you get a share?"

Yan Bugui also saw Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu at this time, and hurried forward and said: "Old Yi, you and Dongxu are back? How are you? Are you okay?"

Yi Zhonghai said with a dark face: "It's okay, I'll go back first, Lao Yan"

After saying that, he walked inside without waiting for Yan Bugui's answer and ignored Li Ping'an.

Yan Bugui didn't show any emotion at this moment and continued to ask: "Old Yi, Ping An said you saw him pick up money, where did he pick it up?"

After hearing this, the faces of the four people in Yi Zhonghai's group turned black. Only Jia Dongxu said: "I am afraid that I will be able to earn money but not spend it."

At this moment, even the dumbest person could see that something was wrong. Yan Bugui looked at Yi Zhonghai and the other four, and then at the smiling Li Pingan. He just couldn't let go of his gossiping heart.

Li Pingan's eyes flashed with cold light and then he stopped, saying to the third uncle: "I'm going back first, third uncle, you wait slowly."
