Chapter 318 The Popular Bicycle 1
Saturday afternoon,
Ma Yongqiu asked He Yuzhu to go to the militia for a meeting.
He Yuzhu was introduced to several key leaders of the team and the heads of security departments of several large factories.

After a treat in the cafeteria,
When leaving the militia station,
Ma Yongqiu also handed over the bicycle and driver's license that had been assigned to He Yuzhu by the Military Control Commission and had been stamped with a steel stamp.

Come out from the station,
Seeing that it was getting late, He Yuzhu did not return to Fengze Garden, but rode his bicycle directly back to the courtyard.

Wearing a volunteer army uniform and riding a brand new bicycle, He Yuzhu attracted a lot of attention on the way back.
The neighbors in Nanluoguxiang greeted him with surprise.
It is estimated that the news of his return on a bicycle will spread throughout Nanluoguxiang before tomorrow morning.

As soon as I returned to the courtyard, I saw He Daqing had already arrived home.

Not only He Daqing, but also Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and others had all returned from get off work and were chatting in the front yard wearing their clean clothes.
It seems like he is preparing for something.

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai and his team were off work at this time, He Yuzhu asked in surprise,

"Uncle No. 1, Uncle No. 2, why are you off work at this time today?
Aren’t we usually working overtime at the factory at this time of day? "

When they first heard He Yuzhu's question, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and even He Daqing didn't think anything of it. But when they turned around and saw He Yuzhu pushing his bicycle in at the gate,
His eyes widened immediately.

Yan Bugui in the crowd shouted excitedly in disbelief,
"Pillar,
When Lao He came back just now, didn’t he say that you went to the militia for a meeting?

And let us wait for you to come back before setting off again,

But how come you came back on a bicycle?

Could it be that when you came back from the militia, you happened to see a new arrival at the department store and snatched one?
But I often go to department stores to shop, why don’t I have the same luck as you? "

When Yan Bugui asked, Liu Haizhong, who was a beat slower to react, started to refute with a smile.
"Old Yan, this is where you get lost.

It is indeed difficult to get a bicycle for ordinary people like us, but for Zhuzi it is not a big deal.

You see, he has so many connections in our Peking Military Control Commission, and his name is on the list of top leaders.

Can't you get a bicycle?"

After teasing Yan Bugui, Liu Haizhong turned to look at He Yuzhu and talked about the reason why they came back so early today.
"Zhu Zi, you just retired from the army, so you may not know.

In order to enrich the entertainment life of workers and their families, most state-owned factories in Beijing would hold cultural evenings from time to time.
Our steel rolling mill is going to hold a cultural evening tonight.

At this moment, except for Lao Xu and his son who are preparing at the factory,
I, your uncle, your aunt Bai, and Dongxu are all back. We came back to change clothes and pick you up."

After introducing the evening party to He Yuzhu, Liu Haizhong immediately looked at the bicycle with envy and asked,
"By the way, Zhuzi, which leader helped you get this bicycle?

Can you help the second uncle get one too?
Money is easy to talk about. Second Master has been prepared for a long time, but he just never had the chance. "

As soon as Liu Haizhong finished speaking, Yi Zhonghai also said,
"Yes, yes, yes, Zhuzi, can you ask your boss to help you buy a bicycle? Dongxu has always wanted to buy one, and the money has been prepared, but there is no chance.

See if you can help.

If Dongxu had a bicycle, he would be able to look presentable when he takes Qin Huairu back to the countryside to visit relatives, don’t you think? "

Although Yan Bugui was a little upset after being teased by Liu Haizhong, he saw that Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai were both asking He Yuzhu about buying a bicycle, so Yan Bugui had no time to care about that.
He immediately asked,
"Yes, Zhuzi, can you get one from your boss? Uncle Yan, I want to buy one too.

Money and other things are easy to talk about, I promise you won’t suffer any loss.”

Seeing Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui all asking their sons to help them fix the bicycles, He Daqing, who had been standing nearby and had no say, immediately stopped them and said,

"I said, you three are done!
Don't you see how many people in Beijing want a bicycle but can't get one?
It was already very difficult for our Zhuzi to get a bicycle from the leader. How could he have the nerve to ask the leader for a second or third bicycle?
Aren't you making things difficult for him?

Zhuzi, don't listen to what Lao Yi and the others say.

Old Yan only has a short walk to work, and he doesn't need to use his bicycle on weekdays.

As for Lao Yi, if Jia Dongxu wants to buy it, let him find a way. If he can't buy it, forget it. Having a sewing machine at home is not enough for him to show off.
And Lao Liu, he bought a bicycle just to show off.
Where does such strong vanity come from? "

Seeing that He Daqing, the father, did not allow He Yuzhu to help them, Liu Haizhong and the other three immediately became angry.
"Lao He, what do you mean?
Now that Zhuzi has the ability, what's wrong with him helping us uncles?
It's not like he's being paid for helping me for free."

"It's Lao He, what's wrong with Zhuzi helping us all? It's just a few words, how big of a deal can it be?"

After Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui finished speaking, He Daqing sprayed back before Yi Zhonghai could even open his mouth.

"Go away, do you think I'm stupid? If only it were as simple as you say.

Don't you think about it?

The Siheyuan is not like before, with only a few of us families.

You want it, he wants it, everyone wants it. How can Zhuzi get so many bicycles? If he helps someone or not, he will offend everyone.

This guy is just asking for trouble.

Okay, the three of you stop talking. I won’t agree to Zhuzi helping you anyway, so just forget about it!"

Seeing He Daqing's firm attitude, Yi Zhonghai and the other two who knew him well had no way to deal with him.

We can only place our hopes on He Yuzhu.

But He Yuzhu didn't want to help in the first place, and he knew that He Daqing was right. With so many neighbors in the courtyard, which family wouldn't want to have a bicycle of their own?
Agreeing to Yi Zhonghai and the other three is just asking for trouble.
Didn’t they see that Chen Zhijie, Jiang Sheng and other neighbors were already getting ready to make a move, just waiting for him to agree to Yi Zhonghai and others, and then they would follow suit.

He Yuzhu naturally couldn't be stupid.

"Uncle No. 1, Uncle No. 2, Uncle Yan, Uncle Jiang, I really can't help you with this matter.

This bicycle of mine is not actually mine.

This is the official car that Captain Ma of the militia team applied for from the Military Control Commission because he knew I would have to travel between Fengze Garden and the garrison in the future and was afraid that I would be delayed. "
