Chapter 145 New decoration in the courtyard (please order the full version)
"Let's get a bicycle ticket! Didn't you promise to go there in the afternoon, Dalocheng?"
Sister-in-law Feng Jiamo didn't realize that she already knew too much. She was still ignorant and wanted to squeeze in to take a look. Cheng Xuemin stopped her outside and said, "Oh, yes, yes, yes, I'll get you a bicycle ticket." !”
"It's full of mud and water, don't get your shoes dirty, don't go in!"
"What are you guys doing, Mr. Cheng? Is it necessary to decorate in such a grand way?" Sister-in-law Feng Jiamo was still suspicious, obviously she still couldn't understand what was going on inside.
The little head squeezed inside, and the cat glanced twice but still asked in confusion: "It's such a big tank, what are you doing behind my sister's back?"
I became even more suspicious when I saw something that looked like a big water tank but didn't look like it.
Still too ignorant and ignorant.
"you guess!"
Cheng Xuemin ignored her and came out to tidy up and get everything clean.
"I see!"
"Da Lao Cheng, you are just like in the movie "Manhunt". Is this a bathtub for bathing?"
"Yes, yes, it's a big bathtub!"
Sister-in-law Feng Jiamo turned her little head, thinking that she had seen the big water tank in front of her somewhere before.
Being young means having a good memory.
Moreover, the Japanese-translated film "Pursuit" can be regarded as the first foreign film of their generation that they have watched outside the country.
The extremely modern people and objects inside have a terrifying impact on these girls who have been ignorant of innocence since childhood.
As long as something is sold in China, they will follow suit.
For example, the bell-bottom pants in "The Manhunt" were not unavailable in China before, but they have always been unsaleable and have not been accepted by the people.
However, when a film "The Hunt" was released, the heroine in the bell-bottom pants captured the attention and admiration of countless female students and lesbians.
My sister-in-law Feng Jiamo followed the trend and bought a pair, and now she wears bell-bottom pants.
Therefore, it is not surprising that she can recognize through movie association that this is a large bath tub in front of her.
"Da Lao Cheng, where did you get a big bathtub?! If you pour hot water into it, it really won't be too comfortable to lie down in it!"
"Yeah, the ground isn't dry yet?"
With this new energy, my sister-in-law ignored Cheng Xuemin's reminder just now that the cement on the ground is not dry yet, so don't go in and dirty your shoes.
The sister-in-law recognized the big bathtub and thought that she could lie in it and take a bath in the future. She immediately felt excited and rushed in. She wanted to take a look and try it out first.
But who knew that as soon as he stepped in, his whole little foot and the shoe sank in. He was dumbfounded on the spot.
"I told you not to go in, don't go in, but you refused to listen. Are you dumbfounded now?"
"Let's go!"
After Cheng Xuemin cleaned up, he greeted the three master masons and called his sister-in-law to leave quickly.
Fortunately, the bathtub shower has just been installed. The next step is to connect the tap water from outside, and it is almost completed.
There is also the cover of the septic tank outside. The master mason had watered it according to Cheng Xuemin's request yesterday, and it is now placed outside the yard to dry.
The cement cover solidifies quickly. In fact, we can directly cover it today and then seal the septic tank. However, the students have to leave now and cannot provide on-site guidance.
"Dear Old Cheng, Old Old Cheng, in addition to the big bathtub where you can take a bath, there is also a big bathtub that you can sit on... That's what it is, right?"
Feng Jiamo came out with his cement shoes and pointed at the toilet inside, gesturing with great excitement and shyness.
Apparently he recognized it as well.
Dalao Cheng is such an awesome person!
Not only did we build a big bathtub where the ghost women bathed in the movie "The Hunt", but we also built a latrine where you can sit on it and pee!
Doesn't that mean that from now on, in the winter, there is no need to go out to the hut to defecate?
Can it be done at home?
And from now on, her mother no longer has to call her to fill the chamber pot early in the morning!
Thinking of this, sister-in-law Feng Jiamo really shouldn't get too excited.
Thinking again of that house, there seemed to be a door connected to the master bedroom in the east wing. Sister-in-law Feng Jiamo reacted again and said even more excitedly:
"Dear Old Cheng, Old Old Cheng, I don't want to live in the west wing anymore!"
"I'll let you and my sister live in the west wing. Is it okay if I live in this room?"
Feng Jiamo ran over excitedly and cheered, while using the discarded wrapping paper in the yard to simply wipe the cement on his shoes.
"What you are thinking is so beautiful! Let's ask your sister first if she agrees!"
Cheng Xuemin was really amused by this innocent sister-in-law who didn't regard her brother-in-law as an outsider at all!
How dare you open your mouth to dominate the master bedroom of her sister? "Hehe, I don't think my sister will agree to it!" Feng Jiamo stuck out his tongue and smiled angrily, "Then I'd better live in this side room! It's close to that house!"
My sister-in-law had the best idea, but she also knew that her sister would definitely not agree, so she retreated and asked for a side house on the east side.
The side room is also close to the bathroom, separated by an aisle. The door is diagonally opposite the door from the bathroom to the yard, making it convenient to get up at night.
Of course, if Cheng Xuemin locked the bathroom door from the inside, his sister-in-law wouldn't be able to get in at night.
"That's totally fine!"
Seeing that my sister-in-law directly gave up the west wing of the second bedroom and chose the side room near the toilet, Cheng Xuemin must have raised her hands in approval!
Because even if the sister-in-law doesn't take the initiative, when the time comes to move in, her sister will directly kick them out.
Or move to the front yard and don't get in the way of the two of them. The two of them have a sister-in-law in the backyard. Sometimes playing too much has a bad impact on the physical and mental development of the sister-in-law.
Also, the west wing has to be left empty. Cheng Xuemin’s parents occasionally come over to see their grandchildren, so they can’t live there, right?
We can’t drive his parents to live in a side room or even a side room, right?
So when the family came to look at the house, sister-in-law Feng Jiamo directly occupied the west wing of the backyard. The whole family was happy at the time, and no one thought about it.
All because the house is so big and there are so many rooms, she can live in whichever room she wants, as long as she doesn't occupy the master bedroom in the front and backyard.
But after returning home, her daughter-in-law, Feng Jiayou, realized that the west wing of the backyard had to be reserved for her parents-in-law, so what if it was given to a sister-in-law at the end of the Feng family?
So if my sister-in-law doesn't take the initiative to mention it today, when she moves out later, her sister will have a showdown with her and let her live in a side house.
It would be best to move directly to the side room in the front yard instead of staying in the backyard and ruining the atmosphere of their small world.
"Okay, then it's settled! After you, Dacheng, get it done here, I want to be the first to go in and take a bath!"
My sister-in-law was jumping with excitement and asked her how she got here.
Come here on foot!
Then Cheng Xuemin can only ride a bicycle and take her to the pigeon market for the last time.
This time it was not empty. As expected, the street kid wandered around the pigeon market in the afternoon and started working.
Don't be too excited to see Cheng Xuemin as a repeat customer!
Need a bicycle ticket?
Although this is difficult to do, he has several of them.
There are Phoenix brand ones, permanent brand ones, flying pigeon brand ones, and red flag brand ones!
It can be said that this guy has corresponding bicycle tickets for all four popular bicycles on the market.
Yes!
In this era, bicycle tickets, TV tickets, washing machine tickets, etc. are actually not uniform!
But each manufacturer has its own production indicators and each has its own related bills.
The TV ticket Cheng Xuemin bought last time was made by the domestic Feilu brand. So with that Feilu brand TV ticket, he could only buy a Feilu brand TV, but not other Sika Deer brands, let alone imported ones. The same needs You can only buy imported TV tickets.
The same goes for current bicycle tickets. Whichever brand of bicycle ticket you use, you can only buy that brand of bicycle.
"Phoenix brand, Phoenix card, Old Cheng, I want the Phoenix card!"
Before Cheng Xuemin could speak, the sister-in-law Feng Jiayou next to her couldn't wait to shout.
"How do I change the Phoenix brand?"
Cheng Xuemin's face turned dark. This sister-in-law was too impatient. She had to at least ask him to pay a few more dollars.
Although the bicycle tickets of the four major domestic bicycle manufacturers are actually not superior or inferior.
But recently Phoenix Brand has produced a lightweight women's bicycle aimed at women. It is really not too cool to ride on compared to the traditional 28-inch bicycle.
Therefore, following the Phoenix brand, it has become popular in the streets and alleys.
Especially girls!
Whenever you talk about buying a bicycle, you must click on the Phoenix brand. Therefore, if you don’t have enough, the Phoenix brand bicycle ticket is more expensive than the other three brands. Especially this street kid will definitely seize on my sister-in-law's eagerness and take the opportunity to raise the price.
After all, we have dealt with him before, and this ticket seller is still very ruthless in his bidding.
Last time the TV ticket was directly priced at 150 yuan.
But the day before yesterday, old Ge Geyou told them that he could get a domestic TV ticket for fifty yuan.
One can imagine how black the dealer's price is.
Fortunately, Cheng Xuemin directly bargained for 70 yuan, which was almost a loss of 20 yuan.
So in fact, if my sister-in-law can wait, she can wait for Lao Ge to come over and ask him to help get a bicycle ticket, which can save several dollars.
It's a pity that my sister-in-law is too impatient and wishes that Cheng Xuemin would go to the department store to buy a bicycle immediately after getting the bicycle ticket.
"It's the Phoenix card! There are so many people changing this card, and I seem to have the last one left!"
Sure enough!
The ticket sellers on the street started to speculate, what the hell was the last ticket, it was a ghost letter! ?
Bicycle tickets are not TV tickets, so they are not so rare, okay!
"Let's do this!"
"Brother, we are familiar with each other once and twice. The Phoenix brand is the same as other brands. Do you think fifty is okay?"
Jie Liuzi pondered for a moment and quoted a price to Cheng Xuemin.
"Fifty yuan! Da Lao Cheng Da Lao Cheng!"
The sister-in-law on the side heard that the bicycle ticket was only fifty yuan. There was still fifty yuan left as her sister said yesterday, which was just right.
So his eyes lit up and he quickly urged Cheng Xuemin to change.
"It's expensive!"
"The most I can give you is twenty!"
Cheng Xuemin really wants to kick this sister-in-law aside. You are not required to pay for the money, so just treat it as money, right?
For fifty yuan, this guy really dares to speak!
Based on the experience that he suffered a small loss when he cut it in half last time, Cheng Xuemin just cut it in half and got a 20% discount.
I wanted to cut him in half and then in half again, but I was afraid of being chased and beaten by the opponent.
Because I probably know that the price of general bills is about one-tenth of the goods.
For example, the Feilu TV he bought cost 450 yuan, so the resale price of its TV ticket is about 45 yuan.
With Lao Ge's verification, it was almost the same. Cheng Xuemin spent seventy last time, so he was taken advantage of.
So be careful this time!
I know that the price of a Phoenix brand women's bicycle is 230 yuan, so the corresponding bicycle ticket is about 20 yuan.
The price of this dogecoin thing is fifty yuan, which is obviously another high price!
Twenty dollars?
When I heard that Da Laocheng directly bargained the price to 20 yuan, my sister-in-law Feng Jiamo was stunned on the spot. Xiao Zui could even stuff a big duck egg inside.
I thought that this old man Cheng was crazy!
They quoted fifty yuan, but you just cut them off without saying anything and just chopped them off for twenty yuan. Do you really think they are a fool?
But what sister-in-law Feng Jiamo didn't expect was that the other party was really a fool.
As soon as Da Laocheng bargained for 20 yuan, the fool across from him blurted out: "Okay, I know the ropes! Twenty is twenty, brother, I am determined to be my friend, so cool!"
I was afraid that the elder Cheng would regret it.
Again, sister-in-law Feng Jiamo's eyes fell to the ground in shock.
Is this possible?
But Cheng Xuemin's reaction was, there are too many fucking cuts!
I still don’t know much about the market situation of this dealer. If I cut it to 15 yuan directly from the beginning, maybe this street guy will agree.
But if you speak out, the water will be thrown out, and it will be hard to cut again.
Twenty is twenty!
Even if this street kid makes money again, it shouldn't be much money. After all, the price of Phoenix brand women's bicycles is so high. No matter how low the bicycle ticket is, it can't be less than fifteen yuan!
Depend on!
Suddenly, Cheng Xuemin finally realized what was wrong with him.
He has always used the price of Phoenix brand women's bicycles to deduce the price of bicycle tickets. He has never thought that the price of Phoenix brand bicycle tickets may not be calculated based on the price of women's bicycles!
But it's a Phoenix brand 28 big stick, which costs 180 yuan a piece!
This Phoenix brand bicycle ticket does not stipulate that you can only buy Phoenix brand women's bicycles. In fact, it is a unified bicycle ticket issued by the Phoenix brand manufacturer.
Therefore, if you want to work backwards, you have to calculate based on the 28 big bars of 800.
So this Phoenix brand bicycle ticket, which looks about 17 or 18 years old, made this street guy earn two or three yuan. No wonder he agreed so readily!
Make a great friend!
Cheng Xuemin thought in his heart that this was the last time, and he could no longer take care of this guy's business!
Nothing else!
This guy has been blatantly speculating in the pigeon market all year round. If he quits when things don't turn out well, he will definitely be shot in three or four years.
So it’s better to have less contact with them in the future.
When Cheng Xuemin's circle becomes wider in the future, he can ask Lao Ge and the others to help him find tickets. There is no need to do it from ticket sellers, for fear of getting burned.
After getting the bicycle ticket, my sister-in-law begged Cheng Xuemin to buy a bicycle.
Seeing the sister-in-law begging so pitifully, Cheng Xuemin couldn't refuse harshly. After all, he had indeed agreed for several days, and the sister-in-law had been thinking about it.
But I still have to use this to seal my sister-in-law's mouth.
You can buy a bicycle now, but don’t tell her sister about the big bathtub and bathroom in the new house.
Unexpectedly, my sister-in-law nodded repeatedly and said that she understood. She knew everything about giving her sister a big surprise!
Isn't this a trick that you often play, Old Cheng?
She cooperates without telling her sister!
With this assurance from his sister-in-law, Cheng Xuemin agreed to take her to buy a bicycle.
But I didn’t go to the department store, it was too far.
I took a trip to Xidan North Street nearby and bought a bicycle for my sister-in-law at the shopping mall here. The Phoenix brand women's bicycle that I had longed for cost Cheng Xuemin 230 yuan.
As soon as the bicycle was received, my sister-in-law rode with the bird out of the cage and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
This sister-in-law!
Cheng Xuemin hugged his waist. Is there something missing from now on?
I originally planned to take my sister-in-law to get the bicycle license plate while it was still early.
Unfortunately, it has long since disappeared, so she can only wait until next time to do it by herself. Cheng Xuemin doesn't want to accompany her on another trip anyway.
This bicycle license plate is also essential, otherwise if you are found without a license plate on the street, you will be detained directly.
Bicycle control in this era is so strict.
Of course, it is necessary to throw it away, and it is necessary to lose it and never find it again!
Because the so-called bicycle license plate is to put a steel stamp number on the horizontal bar of the bicycle. People who steal the bicycle will just wipe off the stamp and make a new one and put the license plate again. Don't take advantage of the loopholes.
Riding the new bicycle home is inevitably a lot of fun.
And it’s a Phoenix brand women’s bicycle. It just came out and everyone is coveting it.
Not to mention the two sisters-in-law Ke Yumei and Sun Juan, even Feng Jiayou herself looked at him with envy and said that she would give her 28-inch big bumper to Feng Jiamo.
She keeps the new bike for herself to ride.
But can sister-in-law Feng Jiamo agree? No one can take away the things that are under her butt.
In this way, with a TV to watch and a new bicycle to go wild, Cheng Xuemin finally had a rare quiet day for two days, and completed part of the manuscript and the little book in his hand.
I plan to go to Yan University Library to find Chen Shumin tomorrow and hand over the first draft of "My Years in the Corps" so that he can finalize it and start looking for a place to print it.
In the afternoon, I planned to send one or two volumes of comic strips from "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to the humanities club, and at the same time collect the royalties for "Parents' Love".
His wife is constantly urging him. The woman's private coffers are seriously short of money, and she is waiting for Cheng Xuemin to make up for it.
…
Dear adoptive fathers, please give me a monthly ticket, thank you!
