That night, Li Cheng and his companions ate and drank at the barbecue restaurant until midnight, and almost everyone was drunk. Li Cheng also drank a lot of wine. Seeing that he couldn't drive the car, he simply left the car there and jumped directly on the back seat of Lao Yue's bicycle.
The car zigzagged along the deserted streets at midnight. Meng Jianghong wanted to take a taxi, but when she saw Li Cheng leaving on a bicycle, she looked around to see if anyone else had a bicycle she could take.
Meng Jianghong was older, after all, and she knew that after drinking too much, not many of these people could ride their bicycles normally. As she was watching, Zhang Dahe rode over on a half-new bicycle.
"Sister Meng, let me take you there."
Meng Jianghong looked at Zhang Dahe, whose face was bruised and swollen, and said, "Are you okay?"
Zhang Dahe, reeking of alcohol, said, "Take away the word 'ma'. You have to trust my cycling skills."
Seeing that he was speaking normally, Meng Jianghong grabbed his clothes and sat sideways on the back seat. Zhang Dahe pushed hard with one foot, and the bicycle moved forward...
After a while, the quiet streets at midnight were filled with the sounds of bicycle bells and shouts.
The bicycle team of dozens of people was also quite spectacular. Li Cheng looked back and suddenly felt like a general leading his troops to war, and Lao Yue was the soldier driving his chariot.
This feels good! Thinking of this, Li Cheng patted Lao Yue on the back and suddenly said, "Drive a long car and break through the Helan Mountain Pass."
Lao Yue turned his head and said, "Huh? What?"
Li Cheng shouted: "Thirty years of fame and glory are dust and dirt, eight thousand miles of journey are clouds and moon."
Lao Yue understood, and he looked up and shouted: "Don't wait, your youth will be wasted, and you will be filled with regret!"
The people in the cyclist team who had already caught up, after hearing Lao Yue's shout, also shouted in unison, "Aspirations are to eat the meat of the barbarians when hungry, and to drink the blood of the Xiongnu when thirsty..."
Li Cheng listened to their shouts and thought to himself that each of them was full of great ambitions!
This group of people recited poems and composed couplets, laughing all the way. When they reached a traffic light, Lao Yue suddenly stopped the car, and the group of cyclists behind him also stopped.
At this moment, the noise suddenly stopped because they all saw a man in tattered clothes swaggering across the intersection...
This man held his head high and chest out, ignoring Li Cheng and the others as if they were nothing, without even glancing in their direction.
After the man passed by, Lao Yue suddenly said, "Li Cheng, do you think this man is happy?"
Li Cheng said, "You have to ask him."
Lao Yue shouted, "He's a mentally ill person. Why would I ask him that?"
Li Cheng said, "Old Yue, you are not a fish, so you don't know the joy of fish. Maybe he is happier than we are now. Look at the way he just looked down on everything, he has the demeanor of a king."
"Yeah, look at how he was just now. There were so many of us, but he didn't even look at us."
"Yes, only those who are extremely strong in their hearts will not be disturbed by the outside world."
Lao Yue pedaled his bicycle vigorously, panting as he said, "Li Cheng, are we talking about that mentally ill guy? Why do I feel like we are talking about a high-ranking monk?"
Li Cheng said, "Essentially, there's not much difference between the two. They both don't want to live the lives we ordinary people live, and their spiritual level isn't on the same level as ours."
Lao Yue said, "You seem to be right. Look at what we've been busy with today. Zhang Dahe nearly died fighting with that wrestler over a house. It's just a house, isn't it? It's not worth risking your life for it."
Li Cheng said, "You don't understand Zhang Dahe. Although he has enough housing, he's obsessed with independence and wants to escape the suffocating care of his parents."
"Love that makes him feel suffocated?"
"Yeah, don't you know? Whenever Zhang Dahe comes home, his parents nag him endlessly."
"My parents also nag me, but I just find it annoying, not to the point of wanting to run away."
"Zhang Dahe's mother is going crazy wanting to have a grandson. Zhang Dahe doesn't even have a girlfriend right now. Do you think his life at home will be easy?"
Upon hearing this, Lao Yue said, "Then his life will be miserable."
Li Cheng added, "Some people are living in dormitories now. They dream of having their own space. Not everyone has a yellow building like me. As long as you don't cause trouble for me, it's still very comfortable there."
Old Yue laughed and said, "Even if I want to cause trouble for you in the future, I won't have the chance. Yue Xiaoyun and I are married, and you and Ai Yi... Oh, Li Cheng, aren't you planning to get a real marriage certificate with Ai Yi? The one you have now is a fake!"
Li Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait until this busy period is over. Ai Yi likes to have a little home of his own, and I like to have a home too."
Lao Yue said: "We all want to have our own home."
After saying that, he actually started singing, "I want to have a home, a place that doesn't need to be fancy..."
This was the beginning, and the people riding bicycles behind them started howling at the top of their lungs again...
This is not a song suitable for chorus, but they sang it with a different kind of tragic and desolate feeling.
At that moment, Li Cheng felt that he had done the right thing by getting them a house. From now on, no matter where these bank clerks, usually dressed in suits and ties, came from, they had taken root in this city.
Li Cheng hadn't expected that a house could give them such a strong sense of belonging. Moreover, Li Cheng believed that no matter how much resistance they faced, they would definitely get their own house back.
There is no need to worry about this matter. As long as they follow their plan step by step, the house will definitely be back in their hands.
Thinking of this, Li Cheng couldn't help but laugh.
Lao Yue heard the laughter and said, "Li Cheng, changing the door is a good idea, but I'm afraid those people won't let me change it."
Li Cheng said, "It's okay. Director Pi was the one who took care of the door change. If they don't allow it, Director Pi has other tricks up his sleeve to deal with them."
Lao Yue laughed and said, "Changing the door without giving them the key is a terrible idea."
Li Cheng also laughed and said, "What kind of idea is this? Director Pi originally planned to cut off the water, electricity and power lines there."
"Haha, this is a powerful move. If we talk about doing bad things, Director Pi is the best."
Li Chengxin said that he was quite capable and ordered more than a hundred new security doors at one time, which were installed by Weng Xiaozhu's New Home Company.
Because these houses are still public housing owned by the bank, Director Pi asked the city branch to pay for the replacement of doors and windows for those houses on the grounds that the houses are old and the doors and windows are damaged.
Li Cheng told Director Pi that after the security door was replaced, if those people still refused to move out, they would then replace the windows.
However, the windows were only removed and not replaced. Next winter, these houses will be windowless.
This move was quite mean, so the only people who knew about this plan were Director Pi and Weng Xiaozhu.
