Chapter 107 Motorcycle Storm

1.

According to the plan and arrangement of the art tutorial class in the spring junior high school, October 2 and 3 are the days when students go to class.

With motorcycles, everything seems to be much simpler, time and distance seem to be much shorter. In the spring, you no longer have to wake up early and pedal hard to rush to time. Not only that, but now even at noon and spring, I can go back to my home to eat, ride a motorcycle, and learn from Hushan to Shimengouzi Village, a round trip is only 20 minutes.

As soon as Spring drove his motorcycle to the door of the studio, the students surrounded him in an uproar. Both boys and girls have shown great interest in motorcycles in the spring. A few boys also sat on the motorcycle very carefully, deliberately posing in cool poses, which caused bursts of laughter.

Spring was very tolerant of letting the students play for a while, and then the students were summoned to the studio and began the tutoring training.

Early in the morning of October 3, Spring came to the studio and saw a barrel of gasoline in a 50-liter plastic drum at the door. Just when Spring was secretly wondering, Xiangxing came over with a smile.

"Teacher, this is the gasoline that my dad asked me to bring you, you use it first, and then I'll fill it at the gas station when it's gone." Xiangxing's face was sincere, and he scratched his head embarrassedly as he spoke.

"How much? I'll give it to you..." Spring reached for his satchel.

In the spring, I heard that in addition to running a processing plant, Xiangxing's family also has the only small gas station in the town, although there are only two simple fuel dispensers, selling only No. 70 gasoline and No. 0 diesel.

"No, no," Xiang Xing waved his hand again and again, his anxious little face flushed, "My dad said that this is for you, and the gasoline is available at home, and it is not worth much." My dad said he was thanking the teacher for teaching me to draw, hehe..."

Seeing Xiangxing's anxious look, Spring stopped his hand, knowing that he couldn't explain this matter to him, so he made up his mind to talk to Xiangxing's father later.

The students were assigned training tasks, and in the spring they rode their motorcycles to the gas station.

Xiangxing's father warmly received Spring, praising Spring as a responsible, capable, and talented teacher, which made Spring very embarrassed. After some difficult communication, Xiangxing's father finally accepted the gasoline payment, but it was charged according to the purchase price, which saved a lot of money for Spring. And promised that the motorcycle refueling in the spring will be collected according to the purchase price. Xiangxing's father wanted to stay for lunch in the spring, but was politely rejected by the spring. The two of them drank tea and chatted, and they were happy.

On the afternoon of October 3, the students returned to their dormitories after sending them off campus. Because I had to go to class the next day, I didn't bother to go home in the spring, so I lit a cigarette and smoked it slowly, and before I knew it, I fell asleep.

Spring was woken up by Wu Xiao in a hazy sleep, and when he opened his eyes, the sky outside had become dark.

"What's wrong?" The spring dream was interrupted, and he glared at Wu Xiao with an angry face.

"No, no," Wu Xiao said with excitement on his face, pointing to the motorcycle parked in the house, "Is this motorcycle yours?"

"yes, what's wrong?" Spring pointed to the car keys on the table and opened his mouth lazily.

"It's really," Wu Xiao almost jumped up happily, grabbed the car keys with one hand, and pulled Spring up from the bed with the other, "Let's go, go to the playground and teach me to ride two laps..."

Spring remembered the words of the fourth uncle Chun Shujia, and wanted to refuse, but he was afraid of hurting Wu Xiao's heart. The fourth uncle is right, this is really a dilemma.

In desperation, Chun had no choice but to get up from the bed, put on his shoes, and listlessly pushed the motorcycle out of the house with Wu Xiao, who was full of excitement.

Spring skillfully stepped on the motorcycle, lit the light, started, and drove Wu Xiao to the school's playground.

The roar of the motorcycle attracted the male teachers in the front and back three rows of single dormitories who had arrived at the school, and Wu Xiao was even more excited to wave his hands behind the spring and shout: "Xiaochun bought a motorcycle, and the brothers all went to the playground to test ride, test ride..."

This Wu Xiao is really afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and he shook his head with a wry smile helplessly.

When I got to the playground and parked the motorcycle, I soon surrounded several young teachers, all of whom looked excited, petting the motorcycle curiously, and their eyes were full of envy and jealousy when they saw the spring.

Wu Xiao shouted that he wanted to test ride, and he had to patiently explain to them the clutch, gear, throttle, and brake of the motorcycle, and gave them a live demonstration.

Wu Xiao is a smart person, after several trials of starting and gearing, the motorcycle can even staggering forward. Spring hurriedly trotted along the motorcycle, directing Wu Xiao to shift gears and accelerate. After two laps, Wu Xiao can already control the motorcycle freely. Wu Xiao laughed and screamed excitedly while riding.

Seeing Wu Xiao driving a motorcycle in a chic manner, several other people were also eager to try, and someone stopped Wu Xiao. Wu Xiao, who was still unsatisfied, had no choice but to give up his position and replace it with another person who was waiting eagerly on the side.

Every time a person is replaced, the spring can only nag about driving skills and precautions from the beginning. After a few laps, the spring said that his mouth was dry and he was dizzy from tiredness.

When several young people were making a fuss on the playground, Zhao Zhiqiang walked over with his hands behind his back and his stomach shy.

"Who's family is so rich?, bought a new motorcycle?" Zhao Zhiqiang stopped behind the crowd and asked with a smile.

As soon as they heard Zhao Zhiqiang's voice, several young people hurriedly turned around, greeted Zhao Zhiqiang one after another, and pushed the spring over.

"Principal Zhao," Spring said hello and whispered, "The motorcycle is mine..."

"Xiaochun, don't you see that you are quite rich, are you making a lot of money these days?" Zhao Zhiqiang was still smiling, but his tone made people feel a little chilled in his heart.

Zhao Zhiqiang believes that he is the director of the town's education committee and the principal of the middle school, and he is the most powerful and highest-ranking master in the education system of Hushan Town. I didn't dare to buy such an expensive motorcycle even if I had the money, and this young man who had only been working for more than a year rode it? A new motorcycle costs seven or eight thousand yuan, and a young man who has just joined the work has to save for three years without eating or drinking. Zhao Zhiqiang knew that he had earned a lot of money from school awards and student counseling fees in the past year, but he couldn't show off like this, right?

"Principal Zhao, you misunderstood," Spring saw Zhao Zhiqiang's displeasure, so he told the origin of this motorcycle in detail, emphasizing the two aspects of "second-hand car" and "car friend payment".

Sure enough, when Zhao Zhiqiang heard what Spring said, he immediately became happy. A second-hand broken motorcycle worth 1,000 yuan is not worth Zhao Zhiqiang's anger for it.

"Come on, come on, I'll try it for two laps. Zhao Zhiqiang regained his amiable appearance and walked towards the motorcycle with a smile. Grabbing the handlebars of the parked motorcycle with both hands, he stretched out his legs and straddled it, and his fat body sinked the motorcycle shock absorber a lot.

Several people surrounded Zhao Zhiqiang and watched him operate the motorcycle silently. Spring deliberately wanted to remind Zhao Zhiqiang how to operate, but he opened his mouth and didn't dare to make a sound. To be a good teacher, you have to look at the person and the occasion, isn't it? Letting Zhao Zhiqiang lose face in front of a group of young people is not a joke.

Zhao Zhiqiang skillfully opened the car key, started the motorcycle, put the gear on, loosened the clutch, and as soon as he stepped on the accelerator, the motorcycle "swished" out. Everyone applauded in unison, and the heart that was hanging in the spring was finally put down. Zhao Zhiqiang raised the motorcycle to fourth gear, increased the throttle to the highest, and the motorcycle flashed in front of everyone again like a gallop, looking at the stupid appearance of several people, Zhao Zhiqiang felt great satisfaction.

Motorcycles are no stranger to Zhao Zhiqiang, Tan Yan's family not only has motorcycles, but also cars. After marrying Tan Yan, Zhao Zhiqiang often rode Tan Yan's motorcycle to work, and motorcycles were rare in Huxian County at that time.

After being transferred to Hushan Middle School as the principal, the Tan family offered to send a motorcycle to Zhao Zhiqiang, but Zhao Zhiqiang did not accept it for the sake of face. In the past two years, Zhao Zhiqiang has always wanted to buy a motorcycle, but he is afraid that others will gossip, saying that his money is unknown or that he has been corrupted and bribed. So Zhao Zhiqiang tried his best to keep a low profile, and the matter of buying a motorcycle has been delayed.

Now, in the spring, I actually bought a motorcycle, although it is second-hand, but after all, it is the first motorcycle in the true sense of the word at Toyama Middle School. Moreover, Zhao Zhiqiang suddenly realized that the beginning of the spring is not necessarily a bad thing, this motorcycle may arouse the desire of many young male teachers to buy a car, and it is not necessary that the motorcycle will soon be popularized in Hushan Middle School. When motorcycles are slowly fading in the consciousness of teachers, it is the best time to buy a motorcycle yourself. These are all good things for Zhao Zhiqiang. At that time, no matter how much money you spend or what brand of motorcycle you buy, it will not attract the attention of others.

Thinking about this, Zhao Zhiqiang's mood suddenly improved, and he increased the throttle and turned around the playground a few times, and then a sudden brake stopped the motorcycle steadily in front of spring.

"Koharu, this car is really good, although the appearance is old, but the quality of the car is good, especially the engine, the run-in is very good, there is no noise at all. A thousand dollars, let you pick up the baby. Zhao Zhiqiang looked like an insider, and said to Spring with a happy smile.

"Thank you, Principal Zhao, this is my first contact with this thing, and I don't understand anything..."

"By the way, everyone didn't have dinner, right?" Zhao Zhiqiang was in a good mood and looked around at the few young teachers around him. Seeing everyone nodding together, Zhao Zhiqiang continued: "I propose that we raise funds tonight for the spring 'hot car'." Each of you will pay 30 yuan, and I will pay the rest. How?"

Everyone cheered, Wu Xiao took the lead in taking out money from his pocket, and others also donated generously. The four of them scraped together 120 yuan and handed it to Zhao Zhiqiang. The spring also took out the money, Zhao Zhiqiang didn't want to live or die, saying that everyone paid money to raise money to celebrate the spring, and the spring could not be broken. Seeing this, I had no choice but to give up in the spring.

In the spring, the motorcycle was pushed back to the dormitory, and the group went to the "Longquan Restaurant" in the town under the leadership of Zhao Zhiqiang.

Zhao Zhiqiang was also generous, and six people ordered ten dishes, filling a large table. Spring and the others hurriedly thanked Zhao Zhiqiang, who smiled and waved his hand. In fact, Zhao Zhiqiang calculated that this table of banquets would definitely have to be reimbursed, so that the 120 yuan raised by Wu Xiao and others would fall into his pocket, and he would not suffer a loss inside and out.

Zhao Zhiqiang, who was in a good mood, dominated the direction of the conversation of the entire banquet, and everyone could only echo or listen quietly. In fact, Zhao Zhiqiang led the conversation in only one direction, that is, to encourage these young people to buy motorcycles. Zhao Zhiqiang's words are said to be in the hearts of these young people, and they have said that they will borrow money or go home to relatives to raise funds to buy a car. Wu Xiao even made a bold statement that he would rather not marry a daughter-in-law than buy a motorcycle first. Caused everyone to laugh.

The banquet didn't end until more than nine o'clock in the evening, and Zhao Zhiqiang, who was walking crookedly, was supported by Spring and others to return to school.

5.

The next day, under the vigorous publicity of Zhao Zhiqiang, Wu Xiao and others, almost every teacher in the school knew that they had bought a motorcycle in the spring. They all took the time to come over to see the strangeness, and the male teachers were even more eager to try it out. Spring is generous, does not refuse to come, and responds to requests, so he left behind what the fourth uncle Chunshu said.

Feng Shu, Song Xiuwen, Wang Yichuan and others took turns to raise funds to "warm up" the spring, making the spring drunk one after another.

As the spring scholar expected, the spring motorcycle has almost become the "bus" of Toyama Middle School, and this one is borrowed and that is borrowed, and not a day is idle. In terms of repairing cars and refueling, the spring had to spend some money out of pocket.

Three weeks later, Wu Xiao took the lead in raising funds to buy back a "Jincheng 70A" motorcycle, which was a bit small, but cheap, costing 3,180 yuan.

A month later, Wang Yichuan and Feng Shu bought back the same "Jincheng 70A" as Wu Xiao, but there was a difference in color.

A month and a half later, Zhao Zhiqiang's motorcycle finally debuted, a two-stroke "Jincheng Suzuki AX100" worth more than 8,000 yuan. The body is tall and powerful, which is very suitable for Zhao Zhiqiang's fat body.

Subsequently, Song Xiuwen bought back the "Jincheng Suzuki AX100" with the same style and color as Zhao Zhiqiang.

Started by the spring, the storm of motorcycle popularization in Toyama Middle School continues to spread...
