Siheyuan: Shazhu's Leisurely Life

Chapter 61 It's getting lively now

department store.

When He Yuzhu parked the bicycle in the parking area outside, Yi Zhonghai also got off the back seat.

The last time he came to the department store, He Yuzhu took the bus. This time, he didn’t have to go through so much trouble and just rode his bike.

"Let's go, Zhuzi." Yi Zhonghai took a look at the situation around the department store. As a senior worker, his conditions were definitely among the best among the customers coming and going. However, since Yi Zhonghai lived a simple life on weekdays, his clothes were not conspicuous at all. Of course, this was only relatively speaking.

In fact, the clean, unpatched new clothes on He Yuzhu and Yi Zhonghai were already better than most ordinary people, not to mention that they came here on bicycles.

He Yuzhu and Yi Zhonghai walked into the store together.

Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but persuade him: "Zhu Zi, do you really want to buy another one? Actually, your family doesn't need it. Your Miao Yun doesn't work, so she doesn't really need it."

When in the yard, He Yuzhu proposed to buy another bicycle, and his second bicycle ticket was also issued personally by Director Yang, so there was naturally no problem.

But since Yi Zhonghai wanted to win over Zhuzi, he couldn't help but start to think about Zhuzi. Although Zhuzi had a good salary at his job now, young people still had to make a living in the future, and he had never heard of anyone buying two bicycles.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu smiled and nodded: "Uncle, please don't persuade me. I have thought it through. Otherwise, I would not have accepted the bicycle ticket from Director Yang. I will ride one to work, and I will also need one for going to school or for my wife to buy groceries. Otherwise, it will be very inconvenient."

He Yuzhu had really thought this through. Buying two bicycles might sound a bit exaggerated, but it was quite practical in their family. Otherwise, he couldn't let his wife go shopping on her legs in the future, right? He Yuzhu was not happy about this, as he felt sorry for his wife.

After a while, He Yuzhu took Yi Zhonghai directly to the bicycle sales counter in the building.

When they arrived in front of the bicycle booth, the salesperson looked up and saw He Yuzhu, and was stunned: "Comrade, is that you?"

When He Yuzhu heard the voice, he looked over. It was an acquaintance. The saleswoman was the same girl he had come to buy a bicycle from last time.

It is a hot day now, and the girl is still very fashionable in the blue cloth skirt she wears with her calves exposed.

"Hello, I'm here again."

He Yuzhu smiled at her and nodded.

Again?
Hearing this, the saleswoman's heart skipped a beat. "Comrade, do you have any questions about bicycle parts? We are not responsible for repairs here. If the parts are broken, I can help you contact a mechanic." She kindly reminded that this is a stand selling bicycles.

In response, He Yuzhu shook his head and said, "No, I'm here to buy a bicycle today. There's also an old man in our yard who wants to buy a bicycle too."

After He Yuzhu's explanation, the saleswoman was dumbfounded.

Apparently, she had been selling bicycles in this department store for so long and had never seen a situation like this before.

"Comrade, are you kidding? You want to buy another bicycle? Didn't you just buy one last time..."

The female salesperson simply ignored the words of the old man behind He Yuzhu who was buying a bicycle. Just hearing that He Yuzhu wanted to buy another bicycle, her brain almost stopped working.

Do you think a bicycle is some kind of cabbage? You just buy it when you want?

He Yuzhu smiled when he saw this, and took out a bicycle ticket from his pocket: "Let me show you the ticket first."

The saleswoman subconsciously took the bicycle ticket, and after repeated checks, she confirmed that it was indeed a brand new bicycle ticket.

"But……"

Without waiting for the saleswoman to speak, He Yuzhu said, "This bicycle ticket was given to me by our factory director Yang. This old man is also a seventh-level fitter in our steel rolling mill. You can go and ask him." At this time, Yi Zhonghai also took out a bicycle ticket from his arms. With his status as a seventh-level fitter, it was not difficult for him to get a bicycle ticket.

"Yes, girl. Zhuzi, this ticket was given by our Director Yang. You can go find your leader and report the situation."

After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, the saleswoman finally reacted.

"Okay, okay, then please wait here for a moment, Xiaofang, Xiaofang..."

As the saleswoman spoke, she called a salesperson at the counter next to her to help take a look, and she took the two bicycle tickets and went to the leader's office.

The salesperson named Xiaofang came to the booth and looked at Yi Zhonghai and He Yuzhu curiously. She stayed on He Yuzhu the longest. After all, when He Yuzhu came to the department store to buy a bicycle, not only the bicycle salesperson knew him, but also several salespeople around him were familiar with He Yuzhu.

There were not many people who bought bicycles, let alone young comrades like He Yuzhu. Even in private, the sisters talked about this matter in their private conversations.

After a while, the saleswoman also hurried over.

"Comrade, comrades, my leader said that there are only three bicycles now, including those in the warehouse, so you don't have much to choose from."

By saying this, he obviously approved of He Yuzhu and others' behavior of buying bicycles.

In response to this, He Yuzhu shrugged indifferently, "Well, you show us..."

……

evening.

In Nanluoguxiang, the clear sound of bicycle bells came from far away.

There were two figures on bicycles walking side by side into the alley, and behind them, there was another figure on a bicycle.

These people were He Yuzhu and Yi Zhonghai who had just returned from the department store after buying bicycles.

Because He Yuzhu already had a bicycle, he asked a young comrade from the department store to help him ride the new one back.

After smashing the steel stamp at the police station, they went straight back to the yard.

When they arrived at the gate of No. 95 courtyard, the young comrade from the department store got off the bicycle and handed the handlebars to He Yuzhu.

"Comrade He Yuzhu, keep your bicycle."

"Well, thank you very much, little comrade."

He Yuzhu nodded and thanked the young comrade.

Then, he turned around and pushed the cars into the yard in each hand.

Just after passing the front yard, He Yuzhu felt inconvenienced by the threshold, so he called out, "Yushui, wife, come out and help, lift the bicycle!"
