Chapter 319 The Popular Bicycle 2
Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui didn't care about buying bicycles at all.
Now they only heard that He Yuzhu not only had a bicycle, but also, like Xu Fugui, it was allocated to him by the Military Control Commission, and he did not spend a penny.
This is actually a bicycle, it's definitely a special treat, the kind you can't buy even if you have money.
The envy in his eyes was simply beyond words.
Moreover, they had already given up the idea of asking He Yuzhu to help them get the bicycles.
After all, the fact that He Yuzhu had a bicycle was definitely on record, and any leader could find out with a quick check. How could they possibly help him get a bicycle?
He Daqing looked at them, especially Yan Bugui's envious expression.
Thinking back to when the three of them had just asked their son to help them fix the bicycle,
He immediately returned the greeting.
"Zhu Zi, is this bicycle of yours really a government bicycle? Is it free like your uncle Xu's bicycle?"
Seeing that He Daqing never waited overnight for revenge, He Yuzhu also smiled and cooperated.
"This is really an official car assigned to our militia by the Military Control Commission. Not only is it free, but if it breaks, they will repair it for free. If it can't be repaired, they will replace it with a new one."
Hearing his son's words, He Daqing said several good words.
Then he looked at Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui, whose eyes were almost bulging out, with a look of satisfaction on his face. After he had admired them enough, he spoke,
"Old Yi,
I think it's getting late. Should we set off to the steel mill?
You have to grab a good seat later, otherwise if you sit at the back, you won’t know what the evening show is like.”
But at this time, Yi Zhonghai was in no mood to care about the cultural evenings that took place every week.
After hearing what He Daqing said, he just said something perfunctorily.
"Why are you in such a hurry? It's still early. Zhuzi is back, but Sister Zhang and Sister Liu haven't come out yet. Let's wait a little longer."
While several people were talking,
He Yushui, Li Qingshan and He Jianguo walked out of the Chuihua Gate first.
As soon as they came out, the three of them saw He Yuzhu in military uniform and the brand new bicycle beside him. Then their eyes lit up and they ran over excitedly.
While touching the glittering bicycle, he said excitedly,
"Brother, is this our family's bicycle?"
Seeing He Yuzhu nod with a smile, He Yushui immediately pulled his arm excitedly and shook it vigorously.
"Brother, can you take us to the steel mill on your bicycle today?
Every time Zhaodi went to the steel mill to watch the evening party, Uncle Xu would come back to pick her up on his bicycle. I have always wanted to ride a bicycle to the steel mill."
"Okay, I'll take you, Qingshan, and Jianguo to the steel mill later.
Let me give you a good time, okay? "
"Brother, you are so nice."
After saying that, He Yushui turned around and rubbed He Jianguo's little face and said,
"Jianguo, we're going to ride our bicycles to the steel mill with our brother later. Are you happy about that?"
He Jianguo's face was rubbed by his sister until his facial features were all messed up. He helplessly pulled at He Yushui's hand.
"Sis, you're so annoying!"
When the siblings were arguing, Li Qingshan ran over to He Yuzhu and said with a smile,
"Brother, let me ride the bike for a while while we still have time.
Every time I asked Xu Damao to let me ride his bicycle, he always refused. Now that we have a bicycle, I wonder if he will show off. "
"Take it, but don't ride too far. We have to go to the steel mill later."
Seeing He Yuzhu handed the bicycle to him without saying anything, Li Qingshan took it with excitement.
While pushing the car out of the courtyard, he assured her,
"Don't worry, I'll just ride in the alley. I won't go far.
Let's go bike riding with Yushui and Jianguo. Li Qingshan took He Yushui and He Jianguo to ride bikes outside.
Not long after, Widow Bai, Jia Zhangshi, Qin Huairu and the others also changed their clothes and came from the middle courtyard to the front courtyard.
After learning from the neighbors that the Military Control Commission had allocated a brand new bicycle to He Yuzhu, Jia Zhang couldn't help but grumble in her heart.
But she didn't dare to say it in front of He Yuzhu.
He just looked uncomfortable, and even his interest in going to the steel mill to watch the cultural evening party was dampened.
On the contrary, Qin Huairu was smart. She noticed the sullen expression on Jia Zhang's face and immediately started to congratulate He Yuzhu. Her performance was much better than Jia Zhang's.
As the saying goes, a sedan chair is carried by everyone. Qin Huairu spoke nicely, so He Yuzhu naturally couldn't say bad things to her.
"Look at the sister-in-law you are talking about.
Your Jia Dongxu is a regular worker in the steel mill. He has inherited the true teachings of his uncle. He will definitely be the pillar of the factory in the future.
Given the status of the steel mill in Beijing, it would be easy for us to buy a bicycle.”
"Then sister-in-law will lend you good words."
After saying that, Qin Huairu no longer paid any attention to He Yuzhu. She turned around and walked up to Jia Dongxu, holding the stick and started whispering.
After a while, all the neighbors in the courtyard who were eligible to go to the steel mill to watch the evening show had left their homes.
Yi Zhonghai, He Daqing and others called everyone to set off.
When they arrived outside the courtyard, Li Qingshan rode his bicycle with He Yushui and He Jianguo in the alley, and a group of adults and children gathered around to watch the fun.
Seeing He Yuzhu coming out, Li Qingshan immediately rode his bicycle over.
"Brother, riding a bicycle is so comfortable."
Seeing that Li Qingshan still had an unsatisfied look on his face, He Yuzhu smiled and said,
"I like riding, so I'll ride more often in the future, but we have to set off now.
You take Jianguo to sit on the back shelf, Yushui sits on the front beam, and I will take you to the steel mill to watch the evening show."
He Yuzhu asked Li Qingshan, He Yushui and the others to sit down while he exchanged a few words with the neighbors who were watching nearby.
Then we set off on our bikes.
Seeing the brothers and sisters leave first, Widow He Daqingbai followed them with a smile on her face and headed towards Dongzhimen.
As He Yushui and a few others shouted, He Yuzhu rode his bicycle at lightning speed on the main road, and in a few minutes he passed through Dongzhimen and arrived at the gate of the steel rolling mill.
As soon as I arrived, I saw Xu Fugui riding a bicycle out of the gate, so I smiled and greeted him.
"Uncle Xu, are you going back to pick up Aunt Xu and Zhaodi?"
Just as he finished speaking, He Yuzhu heard He Yushui yelling impatiently,
"Uncle Xu, Uncle Xu, look at my brother's bicycle. It was issued by the Military Control Commission just like yours. We have a bicycle now, too."
I heard He Yushui say that He Yuzhu's bicycle was also issued by the Military Control Commission.
Xu Fugui was not surprised at all.
Even a film projectionist like him was given a bicycle by the Military Control Commission for official business.
It doesn't make sense that He Yuzhu, who had made so many contributions on the front line and was transferred back to work in an important department, didn't have a bicycle.
In other words, it cannot be manufactured, otherwise it would not be impossible to equip it with a car.
