The biceps of the dragon-capturing tiger bulged out, bulging as hard as if they were tied with two stones.
But in the end, he let go, allowing her to snatch the things from his hands, and couldn't wait to go back inside.
The Dragon-Catching Tiger seemed to hear the woman shouting, "Malted milk powder? That's a good thing! We're going to be rich!"
He lay sprawled on the ground, thinking that since he didn't have the courage to die, he might as well sell himself to the fat man.
I'll eat his food, spend his money, and I'd rather die for him...
Knowing that Qinlonghu was a stubborn kid, Fatty was afraid that things might go wrong if he waited too long, so he went to Wangfujing with Benleihu early the next morning.
Unexpectedly, when Benlei Hu was leaving, he said something that was like stirring up a hornet's nest!
"What's going on? You two guys are going shopping too, huh!"
"Exactly! They never even took me with them when they went shopping!"
The fat man explained, half-laughing and half-crying, "We went to the mall just to buy a wheelchair to deliver to that kid, Qinlonghu. Are you still going?"
Upon hearing that it was something important, neither Yu Li nor Chen Yan brought it up again.
The fat man felt sorry for them: "Why restrict yourselves? If you want to go shopping, just pick a day and go shopping together."
Yu Li pouted: "Who doesn't go shopping with their man?"
Chen Yan also said, "And what about Chen Mengqi? I dare not take her to the mall, otherwise it won't be shopping, it will be more tiring than militia training!"
Indeed, back in 1969, Chen Yan and Fatty also participated in militia training, which was much more intense than the military training for university entrance in another timeline...
The fat man had no choice but to agree to take them out for a fun day on Sunday, and only then was he able to get away.
Arriving at Wangfujing, one can most directly feel the changes in Beijing.
There are more people on the streets, and there are more colors. Even bicycles are no longer a rare commodity.
Walking through it, one gets a sense of witnessing the changing times.
Benleihu exclaimed with great emotion, "It's been a while since I've been here, and things have changed so much!"
That's right. Back when the Five Tigers of Red Star were at the height of their power, what shopping mall hadn't they been to, and what hot-selling products hadn't they seen?
They don't even need to spend their own money; plenty of people are eager to give them money.
The wheelchair shop was located on the first floor of the mall, in an inconspicuous corner.
Fatty and Benleihu asked around and searched for a wheelchair, only to find that it wasn't cheap to buy one these days.
What's going on? Our country's medical device manufacturing is still in its early stages, and assistive medical devices such as wheelchairs are currently mainly dependent on imports.
This store specializes in distributing Everest Jennings wheelchairs. They look very similar to modern wheelchairs and have all the necessary functions.
But the price is 450 yuan!
How much does a Forever brand 28-inch bicycle cost? 150! Wow, this wheelchair is equivalent to three 28-inch bicycles!
Benleihu was shocked by the price, but the fat man asked the salesperson directly, "Do you deliver?"
The sales staff also know that their products are not easy to sell, so their service philosophy is quite advanced.
Upon hearing this, Lima agreed: "Sure, but where would you like to deliver it to?"
The fat man counted out 450 yuan, left the address of Qinlonghu's house, and asked about the delivery time before taking Benleihu Ben Rubber Hardware Factory.
On the way, Benleihu was completely confused: "Fatty, what are we going there for?"
Well, yesterday, Benleihu didn't listen to a single word of his conversation with Qinlonghu.
The fat man sighed wearily, "Let's find an athlete named Zhang Qian and hope she can help motivate this kid, Qin Longhu."
Zhang Qian's situation is similar to Fatty's; they are all children of factory workers and haven't started working at the rubber factory yet.
She only started working at the factory in 1981. But fortunately, this girl, who loved sports and dared to fight against fate, was already quite famous at that time.
The fat man asked a group of elderly men who played chess about her, but the old men were quite wary: "What do you do?"
Fatty and Benleihu quickly pulled out their work IDs. The old man, seeing they were from the Red Star Factory, asked, "What brings you here to see her?"
The fat man then told them about the capture of the dragon tiger, adding a lot of subjective details, such as the dragon tiger's heroic act of fighting against thugs. Thunder Tiger listened with his head down the whole time, afraid that the old men would see him blushing...
After hearing about Qinlonghu's ordeal, the old men felt sorry for him and offered words of comfort to the fat man: "You guys came to the right place. I've watched Yali grow up since she was a child."
Before he could finish speaking, a short old man next to him interrupted him: "Old Qian, have you no shame? What do you mean you watched her grow up? You live in Building 24, and her girl lives in Building 7. They're not even that far apart!"
The old man surnamed Qian argued stubbornly, "The place where she exercises is right next to our building. I see her almost every day, unlike you, old Li! You live in that cramped building, you're the one who has no connection whatsoever!"
"..."
The fat man, fearing they might start fighting again, quickly intervened and separated them; the old man surnamed Qian was quite helpful: "Don't get flustered, come on, I'll take you two to find her!"
With Grandpa Qian's guidance, the two found Zhang Qian very easily.
She was practicing on the parallel bars at the time, and her core strength was quite good; she performed a set of movements with ease. If it weren't for the red and white guide cane next to her, you would never have guessed that she was partially blind.
Upon hearing their purpose, Zhang Qian was happy to help.
She also told the fat man optimistically, "There are many disabled athletes like me. I heard that the Municipal Sports Bureau wants to hold a selection for disabled athletes, so I train every day to try to be selected."
In front of the long jump sandpit during their daily training, Zhang Qian showed off to Fatty and Benleihu. With her coach, who is also her father, constantly reminding her loudly, she sprinted straight up.
Just as she was about to reach the take-off line, the coach stepped aside in time, and Zhang Qian landed precisely on the line, achieving a score that would put even the overweight man to shame...
The main reason is that the fat man is constrained by factors such as mass and gravity. This is physics knowledge, and even if I explained it to Benleihu, he wouldn't understand!
After agreeing on a time with them, and promising to bring the Dragon-Capturing Tiger over so the kid could see it for himself, the fat man and Thunder Tiger left satisfied.
When they arrived at Qinlonghu's house, they found them arguing.
The fat man had exceptionally sharp ears and recognized one of the voices as that of the woman from yesterday; she was shouting loudly, "A useless person like you doesn't deserve to sit on something so expensive! You better take it and sell it to me right now, isn't it worth 450? Let's take a loss and sell it for 350!"
The other man's voice, that of Qinlonghu's older brother, said: "You're talking nonsense! All you ever think about is money, money, money! Have you fallen into a money pit? This is a gift that someone gave to Da Niu, how could you sell it?"
"Those two guys who came yesterday? Bah! They don't look like good people at all. Your own brother always associates with these scoundrels! You should be grateful he wasn't killed this time. When he was in the limelight, he was always eating and drinking well outside and never brought a penny home! Now I have to support him? Why should I?"
