"Mom, I want to eat candied hawthorn."
"Eat, eat, eat. You're such a busybody."
"Hahaha……."
Lin Wencui's words caused Sun Dajiang and his two sons to burst into laughter.
It's the weekend, so the whole family went out shopping together and bought a bicycle.
When Sun Zhenghong, the younger sister, saw the snacks being sold on the street, she wanted this and that.
Seeing his younger sister pouting and looking unhappy, Sun Zhengguo didn't expect his sister to have this side to her—she was quite the little foodie.
"Okay, okay, I'll buy it for you."
Sun Zhengguo originally wanted to buy 5 sticks, but he was afraid his mother would nag him, so he bought 2 sticks instead, one for each of his younger brother and sister.
After calming the younger sister down, the family went to the department store and to the bicycle section. They saw that there were only three bicycles in total, including a women's bicycle. They had to choose one of the two, and they were both Flying Pigeon brand bicycles. So they asked about the price.
"Comrade, how much does a men's Flying Pigeon bicycle cost?"
Because it was a female sales clerk, Lin Wencui asked.
"The male Flying Pigeon is 1.58 million yuan, and the female Flying Pigeon is a bit more expensive, at 1.96 million yuan. If you want to buy one, buy it quickly, otherwise it will be sold out in a while."
A pretty girl with pigtails answered.
After looking at the car for a while, the group decided to buy it. The rest was simple: pay, get the invoice, and pick up the car.
After picking up the bike, I went to the police station to get a license plate. You heard right, I got a license plate. Bicycles were required to be registered until the 1990s. You also have to pay an annual management fee of 25,000 yuan before you can ride it; otherwise, you have to keep pushing it.
After everything was done, Sun Zhengguo straddled the bicycle with one foot, pushed forward, and the bicycle wobbled forward. After a brief period of discomfort, he quickly gained control of the bicycle.
"Hey, Zhengguo, when did you learn to ride a bicycle?"
"Dad asked curiously."
“My classmates used to have bicycles, and they learned to ride from him.”
"Should I tell you that I knew it in my past life?" Sun Zhengguo thought to himself.
On the way home, I saw Sun Zhenghong sitting on the crossbar, Sun Zhengan sitting behind him, while his parents were nowhere to be seen.
They sped along at breakneck speed. In those days, bicycles were rare, much like luxury cars in later generations, drawing envious glances from passersby.
At the entrance of the courtyard, Yan Bugui saw a bicycle approaching from afar, heading straight in his direction. He didn't notice it at first, but when the bicycle got closer, he realized that the rider wasn't the Sun family's boy. Afraid that he was mistaken, he glanced again. He was sure he wasn't wrong, because Sun Zhenghong was sitting in front of him. How could he mistake his own classmate? So he strode over to meet him.
"Jung-guk, where did you borrow this car from? Look, it's brand new."
Sun Zhengguo gave Yan Bugui a disdainful look, thinking to himself, "Borrowing a car? Who would want to lend such a new car? They can't stand seeing others do well, they're afraid you bought the car."
"Teacher Yan, this car isn't borrowed; it's a car our family bought, and it's very expensive."
Sun Zhenghong replied with a proud look on his face, "How could we not be proud that our family owns the first bicycle in our courtyard house?"
"Bought it? That must have cost a fortune, a fortune."
Yan Bugui's brain went blank for a moment, and he muttered something under his breath.
Before long, everyone in the compound knew that the Sun family had bought a bicycle, and they all gathered in the front yard to see what was going on.
When Xu Damao learned that the bicycle was bought for Sun Zhengguo to use at school, he was even more envious. He even said on the spot that when he got into high school, he would ask his dad to buy him one too.
Upon hearing this, his arch-nemesis, Sha Zhu, immediately became unhappy.
"Xu Damao, look at your pathetic appearance, with that long donkey face. Do you even deserve to go to high school? Do you even deserve to ride a bicycle? You might be good at pulling a millstone, but if I gave you a bicycle, would your front feet touch the ground first, or your hind feet?"
"Hahaha……."
Sha Zhu's sharp tongue caused everyone in the courtyard to burst into laughter.
Xu Damao blushed red from being intimidated by Sha Zhu, pointing at Sha Zhu and stammering, "You, you, you..." He couldn't utter a single word for a long time.
"What do you mean, 'you'? Put down your hooves, or I'll break your donkey hooves!"
Sha Zhu's smug and unforgiving attitude further enraged Xu Damao.
Normally, Xu Damao wouldn't dare to bare his teeth, but today he had lost face so much that he was burning with anger and had lost his mind.
He rushed forward and punched Sha Zhu in the face. Sha Zhu was stunned by the punch. "Who am I? Where am I? Damn it, Xu Damao dares to lay a hand on me? Can you believe it? I'm determined to become the War God of the Courtyard."
No sooner said than done, Xu Damao saw that Sha Zhu was still in a daze, so he started punching Sha Zhu like there was no tomorrow. By the time Sha Zhu reacted, he had already been punched seven or eight times.
Sha Zhu was furious. He was extremely angry. Despite the pain, he caught Xu Damao's fist with both hands, turned around, and used his strength to throw Xu Damao from behind. With a shoulder throw, he threw Xu Damao into a daze.
Before Xu Damao could react, Shazhu immediately mounted him, pinning Xu Damao down with one hand while using the other to bombard him relentlessly.
When Xu Fugui arrived, Xu Damao had been brutally beaten by Sha Zhu and was unrecognizable. His face was swollen like a pig's head, and his body was covered in bruises. All Sha Zhu had to do was get a bruise on his face.
Seeing his precious son in such a miserable state, he didn't say a word and went up to kick Sha Zhu. It was two against one. Although Sha Zhu was good at fighting, he was still just a teenager, only 17 years old, and he couldn't hold on. He was about to fall into a disadvantageous position.
He Daqing was originally watching the show from the sidelines. There were several families in this compound whose children had never fought, but it wouldn't do for someone as old as Xu Fugui to get involved.
Then He Daqing rushed over, and in a two-on-two situation, the Xu family father and son were at a disadvantage again. It wasn't until Xu's mother joined in that a balance was achieved.
You punch me, I kick you, and nobody dares to intervene for fear of getting caught in the crossfire. Two little girls, He Yushui and Xu Xiaoling, are crying on the sidelines, creating a chaotic scene.
A short while later, Yi Zhonghai arrived. Seeing so many people gathered around, he said with displeasure, "Stop! Stop it now! What are you standing there for? You, you, you go and pull them apart!"
Yi Zhonghai still held some authority in the compound over the past few years. After he finished speaking, the men quickly pulled the fighting group away.
Looking at the men who had fought, they were in a terrible state. Xu Damao and his son's faces were swollen like pig heads, and they had been beaten a lot. Xu's mother was in relatively good condition, except for chest pain, as she had been punched many times by He Daqing, that lecherous man, who took the opportunity to grope her. (Xu's mother was quite attractive, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to work as a servant in the Lou family.) He Daqing wasn't in much better shape either, with deep scratches on his face, a tuft of hair missing, and blood dripping from his mouth. All of this was done by Xu's mother. The only one who fared slightly better was Sha Zhu, whose face was also covered in bruises. It could be said that both sides were badly injured.
"Everyone in the institute is here. Let's hold a meeting and resolve this matter."
After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, everyone prepared to leave.
Sun Zhengguo pushed the car home, planning to discuss it with his parents when they returned.
Sun Zhengguo thought to himself, "This matter has gotten a bit out of hand today. I'm sure that according to the original plot, this wouldn't have happened. Is it because of the butterfly effect caused by my rebirth? Will my arrival change the fate of other people?"
