Chapter 3: The Gathering
It was Han Chunming who took advantage of the break to look at one book after another that Taozi couldn't understand.
Damn, he Han Chunming doesn't really want to take the college entrance examination, right?
In the past half month, Han Chunming has sold more than ten bicycles, most of which are eighty percent new, that is, he has earned more than 400 yuan after deducting costs.
Such violent means of accumulating money make Taozi and Cai Xiaoli feel like they have been beaten every day, and they are full of enthusiasm when they work......
"Chunming, do you really want to take the college entrance examination?"
As she spoke, Cai Xiaoli put a piece of braised pork into Han Chunming's bowl, and Taozi was a little red-eyed.
"Spring ...... Chunming has meat...... I...... I don't have ....... ”
Taozi angrily took two more bites of rice, and he knew that with Han Chunming here, Cai Xiaoli would never notice him.
But for Han Chunming, he can't blame him, after all, the relationship between the two is here.
Cai Xiaoli saw Taozi's appearance, how could she not know his thoughts, but there are some things that cannot be forced.
She likes Han Chunming, and for Taozi, it is more out of brotherhood.
"Na, it's for you, Ren Chunming still has to read the review materials every day, how can you be ......tired of him?"
Han Chunming shook his head: "Eat quickly, after eating, we will dismantle these broken cars, and strive to make a new Phoenix brand bicycle tonight." ”
Hearing Han Chunming's words, Cai Xiaoli and Taozi both sped up and finished their meals in three or two bites.
After all, nothing makes them happier than making money.
Others are reading at night, while the three of them are repairing cars with lights......
…………
The next day, when the sun was setting, Han Chunming counted the money in his pocket, and with the car sold today, he alone got more than 200 yuan.
And this is nothing more than half a month's income.
Han Chunming rode the bicycle leisurely, feeling very proud, at this rate, his monthly income can earn Su Meng's salary for more than a year......
"Yo, little five, have you changed to a new car? It's still a phoenix card, which costs a lot of money, right? ”
Uncle Guo in the alley had sharp eyes and recognized Han Chunming's bicycle at a glance.
"Second-hand, not worth a few dollars."
Han Chunming replied with a smile, after all, the neighbors'. Whoever has money and who doesn't, everyone knows in their hearts.
Han Chunming knows the truth that money is not leaked.
Bell Bell Bell !!
Dingding!!
Far away, Han Chunming heard the familiar sound of bells......
"Jianjun has also changed to a new car?"
Although there are more bicycles nowadays, this thing is not something that anyone can afford. After all, the price is so high, buy a bicycle, and you have to praise the salary for several months without eating or drinking.
"Yes, Uncle Guo, my dad just bought it for me yesterday, what about one hundred and eighty yuan, how about it? New Bar ......"
Cheng Jianjun saw Han Chunming on the side, and his eyes swept to the same bicycle, but he just looked at it for a long time, and he felt a little uncomfortable, when will Han Chunming, who is in tatters, be able to ride a bicycle?
"It's new, much newer than Chunming's second-hand one......"
When Cheng Jianjun heard this, he felt a lot more comfortable. This Uncle Guo is really a god assist, and he is worried that he can't find a chance to sarcastically mock Han Chunming.
"Chunming, this bicycle is buying, you must not buy second-hand in order to save money, who knows how many years people have been up, although it looks very good, but this is all refurbished by the car repairer, and it will not take long to have problems."
He had a loud voice, as if he was afraid that others would not know.
Cheng Jianjun laughed and the thief was beaten, and Uncle Guo seemed to know that he had said the wrong thing, after all, the relationship between Chen Jianjun and Han Chunming seemed to be stiff.
"By the way, Yang Jianhua let me tell you, there will be a gathering of educated youths at the Huating Hotel tomorrow night, you remember to go then! I still have to inform Su Meng, so I won't talk to you more. ”
Chen Jianjun looked at Han Chunming's bicycle and couldn't help laughing in his heart, second-hand, no wonder it looks so old.
Han Chunming finally recognized that the bicycle Cheng Jianjun was riding was not a new car, but a second-hand bicycle that he sold to the Li family repair shop in Xicheng a few days ago.
This car is ninety percent new, sold for 100 yuan at the time, and the whole car is basically no different from the Phoenix brand bicycle except for the big bar and the rear tire.
"Jianjun, you have been cheated, although your car looks new, but if you take a closer look, the big bar and rear tire of your car are not Phoenix brand at all."
"At most, it's ninety percent new, and it looks like this car has been repaired several times, and I don't know if it's a ...... put together by several cars."
Han Chunming held back a smile, he wouldn't say that he made this car himself, otherwise Chen Jianjun might not have any moths, after all, this guy is a small-bellied chicken intestine, if he reports it again and attracts the attention of the relevant departments, it won't be lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot.
Hearing Han Chunming's words, Cheng Jianjun's face turned pale, and he immediately squatted down and carefully checked it.
Damn, no wonder it's so cheap, I took it down for only one hundred and twenty yuan, I thought I picked it up, but who knew it was assembled.
"Damn, my boss's car repair shop!"
Cheng Jianjun kicked on his bicycle angrily, his face turned black and purple, and when he finished speaking, he realized that he had said the wrong thing.
Uncle Guo looked at Cheng Jianjun with a strange look, and secretly said in his heart, it turned out that this kid also bought a second-hand car.
However, it seems that Cheng Jianjun was repaired and shopped.
This thing is willing to fight and suffer, even if Cheng Jianjun really goes to someone to settle accounts, people will not admit it, he can only blame himself for being cheap.
Han Chunming felt comfortable in his heart, the more angry Cheng Jianjun was, the more sour his heart became, who let this turtle son not do anything.
Han Chunming's laughter fell on Cheng Jianjun's ears, like a ruthless sarcasm.
Cheng Jianjun gritted his teeth angrily, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, it turned out to be a broken car, and he still spent one hundred and twenty yuan, which was the salary he had worked hard for several months.
As soon as Cheng Jianjun wanted to push the car into the yard, the chain of the bicycle fell off, and it was indeed an assembled second-hand car.
This made Cheng Jianjun more and more unhappy, and he felt that he had lost face.
However, when he thought of tomorrow night's gathering of educated youth, Cheng Jianjun felt proud in his heart, if he let those old friends know that Han Chunming was collecting rags.
When there is still Su Meng here, there will definitely be excitement to watch.
Thinking of this, Cheng Jianjun felt much more comfortable.
Han Chunming returned home and gave his mother twenty yuan for living expenses.
After all, now that I have started to make money, there is no need to save on food.
Anyway, now I'm not bad for money.
"Mom knows that Wuzi is a capable person, little Wuzi, you hurry up and find a girl to marry, while Mom is still young, I can help you take care of the child......"
Han's mother kept chattering.
Han Chunming's head was big for a while, why did he talk about this matter in three or two sentences.
"Mom, it's not early, I have to go back to the house to sleep, I'm going to be busy tomorrow, I have to recharge my energy."
After speaking, Han Chunming didn't give his mother a chance to continue talking, and went back to the room and fell asleep.
…………
The next day, there were still 19 days left before the college entrance examination.
On Han Chunming's bedside, there is a big calendar, and there is a handwritten one, "diligence can make up for clumsiness".
Every day, I remind myself that success doesn't happen overnight......
In the morning, as usual, the waste in the yard was sorted out step by step.
In the whole yard, the most hoarded are worn bicycles, tires, pedals, and wheels......
Taozi and Cai Xiaoli came early, and the three of them quickly became busy.
The goods received in the afternoon before yesterday must be sorted out this morning, otherwise there will be no empty space in the yard when you go out to receive the goods in the afternoon......
"Chunming, will you go to the party of educated youth in the evening?"
Cai Xiaoli looked at Han Chunming and said, although he and Han Chunming are not classmates, they are in the know of going to the countryside. There are a lot of good ones now, but most of them are related to the family.
Like her and Han Chunming, there is no relationship at home and no connections, either they can only go to the factory to be a worker, or they can do everything by themselves.
"Go, why don't you go, the educated youth gathering, the big guys finally got together, how can I not go, just go to meet Yang Jianhua's kid, I heard that he is mixing well now......"
Han Chunming naturally won't be cowardly, if he can't make money and has a good job, Han Chunming may be a little uncomfortable when he goes.
But now......
The mind of the master is filled with the whole great rivers and mountains......
I can't hold this little scene, how can I mix in Zhengyangmen in the future......
"If you go, I'll go, and we'll sit together ...... then."
Cai Xiaoli said with a smile, she didn't plan to go, but after hearing that Han Chunming was going, she immediately changed her mind.
"What...... Are you going to the Youth Gathering in the evening? ”
Taozi leaned over and asked curiously, but he was secretly bitter in his heart, but he couldn't help it, others were a gathering of educated youth, and he was not in the same session as them, did he want to be cheeky and go over to join in the fun?
…………
Night is gradually falling, and the weather in Yanjing City is getting colder and colder.
Qianmen Street, Huating Hotel, that is the most luxurious hotel on several streets in this neighborhood, anyway, from his memory, Han Chunming has never been there once since he was a child.
Han Chunming and Cai Xiaoli were so busy in the afternoon that they forgot the time, so they didn't even have time to change their clothes, so they rushed over.
Knowing that going to the mountains and going to the countryside is perhaps the best memory in the hearts of all young people in this era.
Bitterness is a little bitter, but the memories are forever left in the hearts of all those who know, and they will never be forgotten for a lifetime.
The lights in the hall on the second floor flickered, and dozens of people gathered together.
And above the rostrum, it is also written - Informed Student Gathering......
Among all the people here, some of them were classmates who originally stayed in the city, and some of them were not classmates, but they were all in the know of going to the countryside.
Anyway, they are all acquaintances, so the level of excitement is not the same.
"Hey, hey, Su Meng!"
Cheng Jianjun got a new set of clothes, some of them looked like dogs, he pulled his smiling face, and he looked like he was licking a dog, it was really sad .......
Su Meng was wearing a pink dress with two ponytails and a bow on it, but her eyes seemed to be looking for someone else......
How could Cheng Jianjun not know that Su Meng must be thinking about Han Chunming in his heart.
Cheng Jianjun's heart became more and more resentful, "Han Chunming...... Han Chunming, this kid is as good as himself. ”
"Don't look for it, it is estimated that Chunming will not come tonight, one of the tatters, maybe he is afraid that the big guys will laugh at him."
When Su Meng heard this, she felt that there was some truth, Han Chunming was still very proud in his bones, and he was afraid that he would really not dare to come because of face.
After all, it's past six o'clock, and no one has come yet, so what's going on......
"Su Meng, Su Beauty, can you enjoy your face and dance with me Yang Huajian?"
On the side, Yang Huajian, who was wearing a white shirt and pants, looked at Su Meng with a smile on his face.
He is the initiator of this gathering of educated young students, and after returning to the city, he found a relationship with his family, and worked in a public unit, which is the best among so many people, and he is naturally high-spirited.
"Jianjun, didn't you inform Han Chunming of that kid? Why hasn't anyone arrived yet? ”
Yang Huajian looked at his watch, and then looked at the door of the hotel, but there was not even a ghost. When he was in the countryside, he had the best relationship with Han Chunming and Mao Tuming.
Cheng Jianjun smiled, and said in a weird manner: "I'm afraid it's still going door-to-door to collect rags, who knows, but I really notified it yesterday, at six o'clock in the evening, Huating Hotel." ”
"Maybe people are afraid of losing face, so they didn't come."
Yang Huajian's eyes were a little displeased, it seemed that the relationship between Cheng Jianjun and Han Chunming was stiff, how to say, the two of them still lived in the same courtyard since childhood.
"Cheng Jianjun, it's a good mix now, it's really a three-day farewell, you should be impressed......"
Chen Jianjun smiled proudly, he just wanted to make Han Chunming lose face, how could he be with their group of intellectuals......
A few more people stepped forward to urge Yang Huajian to start the dance first, after all, it had been waiting for half an hour, and if he wanted to come, he would have come early, and if he didn't come, he would definitely not come......
"What, Su Da Beauty, don't give face?"
Yang Huajian stretched out his right hand to invite Su Meng.
As the saying goes, you don't hit the smiling person, but dancing with him always feels a little weird......
"Yang Huajian, this invitation to dance is also a first-come, first-served basis, right, Su Meng."
Cheng Jianjun and Yang Huajian were both inviting Su Meng, and Su Meng, who was on the spot, turned his head: "I won't jump with you, I'll go to Secretary Yang to dance, you two big men dance together......"
Yang Huajian and Cheng Jianjun both looked at each other and smiled.
The lights gradually disappeared, and music began to sound in the huge hall, slowly, slowly, like the flowing water in the mountains, sometimes slow and sometimes urgent......
When Han Chunming and Cai Xiaoli came in, Yang Huajian recognized it at a glance, this old boy was trying to squeeze to the last table unconsciously......
But isn't the person behind this guy Cai Xiaoli? When did Han Chunming get along with Cai Xiaoli......
