Chapter 41 Bicycle
Jiang Cheng and Grandma Shen were so engrossed in gossip that they still wanted more.
But it was getting late and I had to get up early, so I finally went to bed.
The next morning, Jiang Cheng got up at four o'clock as usual and arrived at Xu's residence at around half past four.
She immediately saw the pile of books that Mr. Xu had placed on the table. She roughly counted them and found there were eight of them.
It seems that today is a "show-off war"!
What a coincidence, she likes it very much!
"Mr. Xu, let's get started."
Jiang Cheng got straight to the point without wasting a second, and Old Xu also had the intention of observing him.
He knew Jiang Cheng was smart, but today he wanted to know how smart he was.
Both were very serious and the first book began.
"Good, that one—"
"Mr. Xu, how about we try another way? I want to see it myself. If there's anything I don't know, I'll ask you."
Old Xu looked at Jiang Cheng. Jiang Cheng's eyes were neither arrogant nor shy, but very calm.
"good."
Mr. Xu handed the book to Jiang Cheng.
After Jiang Cheng took the book, he read it out loud quickly and quietly, and asked whenever he came across a word he didn't know.
She never had to ask a second time for a word she had already asked.
The first book, which was not very thick, took Jiang Cheng forty-three minutes to finish reading.
The second book begins.
The third, fourth...
In three hours, Jiang Cheng read four and one-third of the books.
"Mr. Xu——"
"Jiang Cheng, do you have a photographic memory?"
Mr. Xu finally asked what he wanted to know most, and Jiang Cheng shook his head in pain.
"Unfortunately, I can only remember 99.999% of the language, and I am even more ashamed of other subjects. I actually need to read them once or twice more!"
"Sometimes I wonder why I don't have a photographic memory. That would save me a lot of time."
Mr. Xu finally understood Teacher Lu's contradictory feeling of gritting his teeth and yet cherishing his talent.
If yesterday Mr. Xu was not sure whether Jiang Cheng was bragging or doing something else, today he understood that this girl was just showing off!
The most infuriating thing is her boastful truthfulness! !
"Mr. Xu, I'm taking a day off today. Let's finish studying the remaining books so that we can catch up with the progress before you left."
"I will never let you leave with regrets!"
Jiang Cheng's bright eyes made Mr. Xu hold back his words about accepting a disciple.
And why does this sound so awkward? ?
Finally, the old man squeezed out a word from between his teeth: Learn!
Jiang Cheng proudly finished studying eight books in one morning.
Uncle Zhong happened to walk in at this time, holding an envelope in his hand.
"Mr. Xu, it was sent from Jing City."
"Quick, quick, quick! Bring it here!"
Mr. Xu immediately stopped caring about accepting an apprentice and quickly opened the envelope, taking out a stamped document from it.
"Great! That's great!"
"This guy finally did something good."
Mr. Xu asked Jiang Cheng to sit down and handed her the document.
"From today on, you can read foreign books openly."
Jiang Cheng was genuinely happy.
Very good!
She put down the documents, stood up, and bowed to thank Mr. Xu.
"thank you."
"Don't thank me, I just urged him to hurry up. It's mainly due to Master Lu - Mr. Lu."
"Take it back and put it away. This was delivered by special means. If you see your teacher Lu, please tell her that I am not the one who intercepted her."
Jiang Cheng promised to explain everything to Teacher Lu, then left Mr. Xu's residence with the documents. After Uncle Zhong sent Jiang Cheng away, he asked, "You didn't mention taking in a disciple?"
Old Xu slapped his thigh fiercely: "I forgot!!"

Jiang Cheng left and returned to the courtyard to have lunch with Grandma Shen and Shen Xing.
Sorghum rice, scrambled eggs with cucumber, and fried bean sprouts with oil residue.
After eating, Jiang Cheng took the money and prepared to go to the department store.
Since you want to buy a bicycle, you should do it as soon as possible. The sooner you can use it, the better.
"The money is ready. Be careful."
Jiang Cheng responded to Grandma Shen's instructions, touched Shen Xing's head and said, "Wait for sister to come back. By then, sister will have a car! Take you for a ride!"
Shen Xing smoothed her messy hair and asked, "Sister, can you ride a bicycle?"
“No way!”
Jiang Cheng spoke with such confidence that if Shen Xing hadn't heard it clearly, he would have thought he had misheard.
! .
"For someone as good as me, a small bicycle is definitely not a problem!"
Confident Jiang Cheng waved his hand and left.
Jiang Cheng, who came out of the house, happened to meet Lin Jiaojiao coming out from the opposite side.
Lin Jiaojiao snorted coldly and glared at Jiang Cheng with bulging eyes.
Jiang Cheng was not used to her bad habits, so he said directly: "Your eyesight is bad at such a young age, but it can be considered that you have saved yourself from taking a few decades of detours. You will go blind sooner or later anyway."
"You--Jiang Cheng, what do you mean! Stop!"
Lin Jiaojiao was yelling mindlessly from behind, and Jiang Cheng suddenly stopped and turned around.
"I'm standing still. What can you do? You can't beat me in scolding. If you hit me, I'll faint. If I faint, your family will pay you. What are you going to do?"
"You—you have no shame!"
"If you have the nerve to do this, I'll give you two. You're welcome."
After Jiang Cheng finished speaking, Shengli turned around and left.
Lin Jiaojiao became even angrier, and forgot why she came out here.
Jiang Cheng walked towards the department store without taking it seriously at all.
After she was separated from the Lin family, she had no time to hang out and wished she had forty-eight hours a day.
Yesterday afternoon, at Sister Wang's suggestion, she asked for leave and prepared to buy the bicycle first.
The department store has four floors.
The first floor was crowded with people, a mixture of gray, blue, black and white, some were queuing and some were messing around.
At first glance, their thick, black hair shows that they are full of energy and full of vitality!
Bicycles were sold on the second floor, so Jiang Cheng didn't waste any time and went straight there.
When we got to the second floor, there were fewer people.
There were a few couples who were obviously lovers, exchanging glances while keeping a half-meter distance from each other. I guess they were here to buy three big items.
Jiang Cheng took out the bicycle ticket and asked at the counter, "What kind of bicycle do you have?"
The salesperson saw Jiang Cheng’s bicycle ticket at a glance and knew that he had to buy it.
"We have Phoenix, Fei Ge, and Yongjiu now. Yongjiu is 28-style, while Fei Ge and Phoenix have 26-style and 28-style. Which one do you want?"
"I want to see before deciding."
The salesperson did not make things difficult for Jiang Cheng. A bicycle is a big item, so of course he had to take a look at it.
She called another salesperson to guard the counter, and she took Jiang Cheng to the warehouse to check the goods.
When the two came out, the salesperson's wrinkles were exposed due to smiling, and he was chatting very intimately with Jiang Cheng.
"Girl, take this ticket to the Public Security Bureau to get a license plate. If you need to buy anything in the future, come to me."
"I met a good person when I went out. Thank you, Sister Zhou."
After Jiang Cheng handed over the money and the bill, he said goodbye to Sister Zhou warmly and pushed his newly bought bicycle to get the license plate.
Another salesperson at the department store looked at Sister Zhou and asked, "Are you a relative?"
"You mean Xiao Jiang? No, we just met. Xiao Jiang is really nice."
"."
Temporary relatives?

At the same time, Lin Chengyuan chose the time when there were the most people in the courtyard and rode a second-hand bicycle back to the courtyard.
