Chapter 42 Show off this matter
In the evening, the sky was filled with rosy clouds, the breeze was blowing, and the courtyard of the quadrangle was particularly lively.
"Chengyuan is amazing. He bought a bicycle just a few days after starting work."
"That's great! This big wheel is much faster than walking!"
"If you ask me, Chengyuan is definitely the most talented young man in our courtyard. Who else can get a job in the machinery factory right after returning? That's our largest factory."
"Not really."
A group of men, women, old and young gathered around a half-new but not too old 28-inch truck and looked at it.
Some curious children wanted to touch it, but were pulled back by their parents.
What should I do if someone touches it and breaks it?
Lin Chengyuan looked humble when he was praised, but he straightened his back subconsciously, tried to press down the corners of his mouth, and felt even more proud in his heart.
He Dan, who had a white gauze wrapped around her forehead, also stretched her neck, looking happy and complacent, thinking that praising Lin Chengyuan was praising her.
All the humiliation I had endured over the past two days disappeared at this moment.
He Dan raised his eyebrows and looked towards the door of the Shen family.
So what if you are popular in night school? Not everyone can have a bicycle if they want one.
Lin's mother, Lin's father, and Old Mrs. Lin are similar to Lin Chengyuan.
They are particularly addicted to this kind of false compliments and feel superior to others.
"It's not a big deal, Chengyuan just knows how to make friends, everyone please don't praise him like that!"
Lin's father pretended to be modest, and Lin's mother immediately responded, "Yes, it's just a bicycle. I've always wanted to buy one, but we have old and young children here, and no one knows how to ride it."
"Chengyuan works far from the machinery factory, so it's convenient for him to go to work."
Everyone in the Lin family spoke one after another, and their words conveyed the same message: We are not short of money, we can buy any bicycle we want.
He Dan, who had a wound on his forehead, looked a little unhappy.
Although it's second-hand, it's still worth 120 yuan, but it doesn't come with a ticket.
She turned out to be eighty! There are so many people in the Lin family, but after searching hard, they only paid forty yuan.
When thinking of the Lin family's troubles, He Dan's pride was somewhat diminished.
"Why is it so lively today?"
Jiang Cheng is back.
Came back pushing a brand new bicycle.
"Ouch——Whose is this shiny new tile?"
Jiang Cheng made a grand appearance pushing his newly bought 28-inch bicycle.
"Mine! Newly bought!"
Jiang Cheng naturally saw another bicycle in the yard. She immediately patted the bicycle seat and said, "I bought it today!"
Since you want to show off, then try to make the other person mad to death.
Jiang Cheng doesn't think that the Lin family will dislike her just because she is humble.
Since they are all the same, of course you should choose the path that makes you happy.
So Jiang Cheng started.
"Ticket? I asked Sister Wang from our scrap yard to find it for me. Sister Wang's husband works at our Public Security Bureau."
"I just happened to have some money back from before, so I'll just buy it."
"I went to the warehouse and picked it out myself. This one is the newest one!"
"I even gave it a bell that can be heard from two miles away. It's always ringing!"
"Look at this chain, it's not rusty at all, it's brand new, very easy to use, and saves a lot of energy!"
After Jiang Cheng showed off, the faces of the Lin family members became uglier than each other, and Lin Jiaojiao was the most unbearable.
"Jiang Cheng, you bought a bicycle just like my family did. You did it on purpose!"
Jiang Cheng, who was showing off, stood up, looked at Lin Jiaojiao and said, "If I did it on purpose, I would have gotten a second-hand one."
In one sentence, Lin Chengyuan couldn't help it.
Is this a mockery of him?
"Jiang Cheng, don't go too far."
"Lin Chengyuan, who do you think you are? Your Lin family is everywhere."
"Are you the ancestor of bicycles? I need your family's approval to buy a bicycle. If you don't realize how shameless you are, look in the mirror!"
"I'm so busy every day that I don't have time to care about what you guys do. People like you don't deserve me to cause trouble for you on purpose."
After Jiang Cheng finished his daily performance, he pushed his bicycle into the house.
Grandma Shen and Shen Yue were helping out.
Mother Lin was furious and said before she knew it: "Push him into the house. Who are you trying to protect?"
"To protect you!"
Jiang Cheng turned around and continued, "You are so narrow-minded. Don't push it into the house. Just leave it outside in the wind and rain. I can't compete with your Lin family. I can't bear to do it!" The Lin family was suddenly stuck in that situation. It was not right to push the bicycle now, but they were reluctant to not push it.
Jiang Cheng returned to the house refreshed. The Lin family placed the bicycle under the eaves in a frustrated manner, and the people in the house pretended to take a look at it from time to time.
He is obviously worried, but he still wants to save face.
The people in the courtyard dispersed after watching the fun, but no one knew what happened to the crickets when they returned home.
In the evening, Jiang Cheng had dinner with Grandma Shen and others.
Today she moved Teacher Lu's class to the afternoon, which is why she was able to come back at this time.
After dinner, Jiang Cheng still went to night school.
Regardless of rain or shine, working day and night.
Seven or eight days passed like this, and Shen Xing's ankle was almost healed, and he was finally able to go to school. At the same time, he received a reply letter from his elder brother Shen Que.
At night, Jiang Cheng came back from night school.
Shen Xing was waiting for her at the door of Shen's house.
"I feel bad for thinking of me like this."
"Sister, please stop smiling."
Jiang Cheng's face was stern, and he said disapprovingly, "Stop being jealous of my good looks."
Shen Xing: He can never keep up with his sister's thinking.
"Sis, this is for you."
After Jiang Cheng put the bicycle in place, he took the things from Shen Xing's hand.
Watch Ticket.
Jiang Cheng didn't know what to say for a moment. These two children, together with Grandma Shen, would stuff bills into her pockets whenever they had nothing to do.
"Shen Xing, you don't understand. My sister is such an outstanding person and she has her own time. Time is in my heart and it has never been wrong!"
Jiang Cheng's way of rejection was refreshing, but fortunately Shen Xing was used to it.
"Sis, this is for you too."
Jiang Cheng looked at the letter in Shen Xing's hand.
letter? "My eldest brother wrote this for you."
Jiang Cheng was really surprised. Why did Shen Que write to her? Regardless, Jiang Cheng took the letter and unfolded it.
There are three lines of text in total.
"Hello, I'm Chen Que." 』
"Thank you, Comrade Jiang, for taking care of my younger brothers and sisters. 』
"Chen Que, July 5th, stay. 』
After reading it, Jiang Cheng looked at Shen Xing and said, "So this is a thank you gift?"
Shen Xing nodded repeatedly.
"right!"
Jiang Cheng asked suspiciously: "Did you mention me in your letter?"
Shen Xing nodded.
"Did you praise me?"
The words "not much is written" came to a sudden halt in Shen Xing's mind.
"Thank you!"
Jiang Cheng nodded in satisfaction, patted Shen Xing on the shoulder and said, "Xingxing, you are being realistic, keep it up."
Jiang Cheng decided to accept it first and discuss whether to use it or not.
Shen Xing's little nerves were tempered by Jiang Cheng again, and he slept soundly that night.
The next day, Jiang Cheng got up a little earlier, took out some food from the space and put it in the kitchen, then rode her bicycle to Mr. Xu's house.
The strange thing is that Uncle Zhong is not here today, only Old Xu is here.
Jiang Cheng didn't ask any questions and focused on the class.
After the class, Mr. Xu said, "I'm leaving now."
"So soon?"
Jiang Cheng's reluctant expression made Mr. Xu feel relieved.
He left Jiang Cheng his address and phone number and told her to contact him if she had any problems.
"When I return to Jing City, I will mail you some study materials. Don't interrupt your studies, understand?"
"Don't worry, I won't."
Old Xu nodded to Jiang Cheng who made a serious promise, waved his hand and said to her, "Let's go. You don't have to come tomorrow."
