Chapter 35: A big misunderstanding
"Just this black permanent handlebar. ”
Tao Xueming finally fell in love with a permanent bicycle that looked okay, this car was durable, and there would be no problems in three or five years.
Don't look at it as a broken bicycle, but in this era, it can be regarded as a face-saving thing to be able to ride this thing.
For this car, it costs 210 yuan, which is equivalent to three months' wages for ordinary workers.
After Tao Xueming paid the money, Mr. Zhou Xiaoqiang couldn't put it down, holding the handlebars with both hands, and the joy in his eyes couldn't be hidden.
"Ride it and try it. Tao Xueming said with a smile.
Zhou Xiaoqiang nodded excitedly, and then he stepped on one leg and walked forward slowly.
At the beginning, the bicycle was still crooked, and he almost fell to the ground several times, but Zhou Xiaoqiang quickly got used to it, and in about five minutes, he was already able to ride on the street at will.
"Taozi, I'm going to find Cuicui, I'll see you later. ”
After Zhou Xiaoqiang said hello, he rode away directly.
Tao Xueming had a smile on his face, as long as the old man is happy, thinking that the two of you are married, you will have a child quickly.
I can't wait to see my girlfriend.
If you please your father-in-law, it will naturally be easy to talk about what will happen in the future.
Thinking of this, Tao Xueming began to hum a little song in his mouth, and with his hands behind his back, he returned to the bathhouse in a leisurely manner.
……
After returning to the bathhouse, Tao Xueming sat on the stool, opened the drawer, and began to calculate today's accounts.
After a few minutes, Bao Zhipeng came back with a fish with a smile and said, "Taozi, I'll kill a fish for you to eat today." ”
Tao Xueming looked at him in surprise: "What's wrong, what kind of good thing happened today, such a luxury to eat fish." ”
"Don't pretend, I've seen it all, you can tell me directly. ”
Bao Zhipeng grinned.
Tao Xueming had a question mark on his face, he knew something, why didn't he understand it a little.
"I'll kill the fish first. ”
Bao Zhipeng entered the kitchen with a smile.
Tao Xueming shook his head and didn't think much about it.
More than an hour passed, Bao Zhipeng made fish soup, fried cabbage, and put several pieces of meat.
Tao Xueming was also surprised to see such a sumptuous dinner, and in his impression, they had never eaten such a good thing.
"Who's going to eat, come over for dinner!"
Bao Zhipeng was at the door and shouted at the mahjong parlor.
Tao Xueming almost burst out laughing, people don't call for food, they call Xiang Yuhang.
Soon, Xiang Yuhang came over, and his eyes suddenly lit up after seeing the sumptuous dinner on the table.
"Today's steamed buns are enough, so you can eat them all. ”
Bao Zhipeng said with a big grin.
Hearing this, Xiang Yuhang rushed to the table, picked up the steamed bun and ate it, and put a large piece of meat in his mouth with chopsticks.
"Baozi, what's your situation today, this is not like your usual one. ”
Tao Xueming asked with a smile.
"Pretend, you still pretend to me. ”
Bao Zhipeng squinted at him and said disdainfully: "We are so familiar, with one look at you, I know what I want to do." ”
"Tell me, where is the thing hidden, take it out and let me take a few looks. ”
After Tao Xueming listened, his mind was full of water, did they not have the same channel again, what did it mean.
"It's like ......"
Bao Zhipeng gave several rolls of his eyes, and then said angrily: "I saw it all today, and if you buy a bicycle there, you must have bought it for me." ”
"Thank you for giving me such a big surprise, brother will always remember your good, hehe. ”
After hearing this, Tao Xueming sighed in his heart, this is terrible, he was actually misunderstood.
The bicycle was a gift to my father-in-law, not to Bao Zhipeng.
"That...... I ......"
Tao Xueming was hesitant and didn't know how to say it.
Bao Zhipeng laughed: "Isn't it scared, after I knew in advance, I wasn't so surprised." ”
"Brother, take it out quickly, don't hide it, I can't wait to ride two laps to play." ”
Tao Xueming smiled bitterly, although he couldn't bear to hit the other party, he still had to tell the truth of the matter.
After a pause, Tao Xueming said slowly: "Baozi, you may have misunderstood, the bicycle was bought for Mr. Zhou, not for you." ”
As soon as these words came out, the smile on Bao Zhipeng's face slowly solidified, and the whole person instantly turned into a sculpture.
After a long time, Bao Zhipeng slowly lowered his head, didn't say a word, and picked up chopsticks to eat.
After eating a few bites, Bao Zhipeng slammed his chopsticks on the table and went out angrily.
"Hey, buns, you ......"
Tao Xueming shouted, but Bao Zhipeng had already gone away.
"Boss, leave it to me here, you go after it. ”
Xiang Yuhang bowed his head and said in a sullen manner.
Tao Xueming was also afraid that Bao Zhipeng would not be able to think about it, so he quickly got up and went out to chase after him.
After chasing it out, he found that the person was missing, Tao Xueming began to look around, hurriedly looked for a piece for fifteen minutes, and finally saw Bao Zhipeng next to a reservoir.
"Buns, come back with me, it's cold outside. ”
Tao Xueming said.
Bao Zhipeng sat on the stone, not saying a word, and not looking at him.
Tao Xueming reached out to grab it, but was opened by the other party.
"Buns, don't do this, I'll buy it for you next time. ”
"Why not this time, but next time. ”
Bao Zhipeng said very angrily: "Is he your brother, or am I your brother, we have played together since childhood, why can't you buy it for me." ”
"I work hard for you every day, I just want a car I like, you ......"
When he said this, Bao Zhipeng's voice began to choke, and the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, and then the tears fell down.
Tao Xueming saw him shed tears, and he was speechless in his heart, sure enough, it was a thirteen-year-old child, all the unhappiness was on his face, what to say.
Yes, I did it wrong, and I didn't take Bao Zhipeng's feelings into account first.
But Zhou Xiaoqiang is his future father-in-law, shouldn't he please his father-in-law.
"Okay, okay, it's me who didn't think it through and hurt you. ”
"A big man, crying and crying like something, I'll buy you one tomorrow. ”
Tao Xueming smiled and comforted.
"Don't want it, Lao Tzu is not rare, Lao Tzu wants to buy it himself. ”
"Brothers can't fucking be trusted. ”
Bao Zhipeng pushed him away vigorously and went back angrily.
Tao Xueming shook his head and sighed, it was really a child's temper.
……
Early the next morning, Tao Xueming went directly to the shop that sold bicycles.
"Boss, I don't have a ticket in my hand, can I buy one?"
Tao Xueming asked.
The boss shook his head: "I can't sell it to you without the bills in the factory." ”
Tao Xueming scratched his head, where can he go to get a bicycle ticket, do you still have to beg Li Cui to let the other party get one out?
It's not easy to always trouble the other party for such a trivial matter.
And it's embarrassing, too.
Leaving from the car shop, Tao Xueming began to go back, thinking about the bicycle ticket all the time, and walked and came to the mahjong hall.
When I walked into the mahjong hall, I saw that many people were playing mahjong, and the onlookers also filled the room.
After Xiang Yuhang came out of the toilet, he hurriedly said: "Boss, just now your big brother rang loudly, and a boss named Zheng Chao asked you to go over." ”
Tao Xueming nodded, turned around and went out.
When he returned to the bathhouse and saw Bao Zhipeng stunned on the stool, Tao Xueming said, "Zheng Chao asked me to go, will you go?"
"Go...... Of course I went. ”
Bao Zhipeng hurriedly stood up.
"Forgive me?"
Tao Xueming said with a smile.
Bao Zhipeng pouted, who the hell forgave you, but I'm afraid that you won't be able to take care of anything if you go alone.
Subsequently, the two packed up their things, took the big brother, and then took the county minibus to the city.
The road to the city is not easy to walk, the road is muddy, and the bumps make you want to vomit.
After more than an hour, almost two hours or so, the car finally arrived at the station.
After getting out of the car, Tao Xueming leaned against the wall and began to vomit.
"Taozi, you weren't like this before. ”
Bao Zhipeng said.
Tao Xueming coughed a few times, he wasn't like this before, but it may be different when he is reborn.
After resting for a while, the two of them found a three-wheeler, and a dollar pulled the two to where they wanted to go.
Zheng Chao's coal plant.
When I came to the coal factory, I saw several machines rumbling and running, many red bricks were stacked next to them, and tractors kept coming and going.
Tao Xueming glanced at it casually and found that the dozens of tons of coal were almost used.
He thought to himself, how could it be used so quickly, those dozens of tons of coal can be used for at least a month or two.
It's all bottomed out.
After entering the building, the two came to Zheng Chao's office together.
walked into the office and saw Zheng Chao reading documents.
"Boss Tao, you're finally here, sit down, sit down. ”
Zheng Chao came over to greet them enthusiastically, poured tea and water, and asked for warmth.
"Mr. Zheng, it's something to call me. ”
Tao Xueming asked directly.
Zheng Chao said happily: "This time I deliberately want to thank Mr. Tao for saving his life, I will invite the two of you to dinner in the evening, and the city has arranged it." ”
Tao Xueming had a smile on his face, but he was thinking in his heart that this time it must not be as simple as eating, he must be participating in some kind of bureau.
But this kind of thing will come sooner or later, and Tao Xueming will be ready for it tomorrow.
"Mr. Zheng, the car is ready and ready to go. ”
"Let's go, we can't be too late. ”
Zheng Chao put his arm on the shoulders of Tao Xueming and Bao Zhipeng, and walked out laughing.
There was a small black car parked downstairs with no license plate.
After getting in the car, Bao Zhipeng's eyes were shining, he had never sat in this kind of car since he was a child, it was very novel.
Tao Xueming is much calmer, and he doesn't look down on this kind of backward product of the era at all.
Now BMW has not yet entered the mainland, and when it will be sold in China, I will buy one and drive it anyway.
About an hour later, the car stopped in front of the state-run hotel.
In this era when the per capita salary is only a few dozen to 100 yuan, going to a restaurant to eat is a symbol of petty bourgeoisie.
