Chapter 107 The bicycle is envied by everyone
Many people even stretched their necks to carefully look at the brand new Phoenix bicycle. For a moment, no matter where he went, people were staring at him with complicated and envious eyes.
Everyone dreams of owning a bicycle and riding it around the city freely like in the movies. But who would have thought that a young man actually bought this dream item.
"That young man must be the son of some cadre. Otherwise, where did he get the money and tickets?"
"That's right. Otherwise, he must be a senior employee of the factory to be so lucky."
"If you ask me, even if he really has the ticket, a small worker definitely can't gather 180 yuan, right? He must have other connections!"
There was a lot of discussion among the crowd.
People talked to each other, expressing curiosity, envy, or jealousy.
Only a few people secretly sneered at this, shaking their heads and commenting on Li Yang's background.
But Li Yang was unaware of this at the moment, his heart only filled with joy and excitement for the brand new bicycle in front of him.
When he pushed his bicycle away from the counter, the people around him were still speculating among themselves.
Because even today, bicycles are considered an extremely expensive luxury in the eyes of ordinary people.
If you want to buy it, even if you have a little income, you should think twice.
What's more, what about young workers like Li Yang? They never expected that a young man could actually buy this long-desired private means of transportation so easily.
Even if he had the means to buy the tickets, it would be a considerable expense for Li Yang to collect the 180 yuan sale price. However, instead of being suspicious, people secretly thought that Li Yang must be the son of an official, so he was so lucky.
Li Yang was completely unaware of all these speculations. The only thing on his mind was to quickly complete the vehicle registration procedures so that he could drive his beloved new car home. So he pushed the car and soon arrived at the vehicle management office not far away.
There, the logos of Phoenix and Forever bicycles were dazzling. Standing in front of the counter, Li Yang handed over his receipt for the purchase. After a while, an administrator vaguely checked the body of the bicycle, quickly completed the formalities, and nailed the license plate to the handlebars.
Just like that, after a series of operations, Li Yang rode his beloved bike and left the vehicle management office with a legitimate reason.
When he stepped on the pedal and the thin wheels left two slight marks on the ground, it seemed as if his body and mind were filled with an exciting power.
After experiencing the spotlight just now, he could finally feel proud and proud from the bottom of his heart.
It is just like the feeling of those migrant workers who had just moved to the city in the 1970s and 1980s when they saved up money to buy a motorcycle for the first time.
The first means of transportation that you get with great difficulty is the best testimony to your quality of life.
It not only marks the improvement of economic strength, but also foreshadows the future development prospects.
Li Yang experienced all of this very vividly.
Just like that, Li Yang, riding on the new car, couldn't help but feel unprecedented pride in his heart.
He held his head high, looking calm, not feeling the slightest bit embarrassed by the gazes of passers-by.
Pedestrians on the street were whispering, with envy evident in their eyes.
Bicycles were such a rare luxury back then that even some ordinary workers probably didn’t even have the courage to dream of owning one.
Fearing that they would be robbed by some lunatics while walking on the street, they could only look at the bicycles passing by on the street from home, with a yearning mood. So when Li Yang was so casually and calmly riding on the street, it undoubtedly attracted the envy and a little jealousy of passers-by.
But Li Yang was completely unaware of this.
In his heart, he just wanted to get back to the courtyard as soon as possible to celebrate for himself.
So, making up his mind secretly, Li Yang drove towards Xidan Vegetable Market.
……
"Boss, give me a fat hen!" Li Yang pointed at the live hen on the stall.
After a while, a huge hen was put into a sack and handed over by the salesperson with both hands.
Li Yang took the chicken cage and bought a few pieces of chicken, as well as seasonings such as star anise and fennel. Only then did he leave with satisfaction.
When Li Yang was pushing the cart back to the courtyard, he happened to meet a group of co-workers and neighbors who were returning home from get off work.
When these people saw Li Yang riding a brand new Forever bicycle and pushing a chicken coop, they were stunned.
Almost everyone stopped involuntarily and stared at Li Yang with their mouths open.
And the moment Li Yang pushed the cart slowly into the gate of the courtyard, the entire front yard suddenly became lively.
Even Yan Bugui and the three aunts who were watering the flowers covered their mouths and stared at Li Yang's brand new bicycle with wide eyes.
At this moment, Liu Haizhong, Yi Zhonghai and others just came back from get off work.
The two of them were seen walking and chatting, and it was obvious that they were not in a very good mood.
Just as they were about to enter the courtyard gate, they suddenly noticed something was happening in the crowd and stopped in their tracks. Then they both realized the source of the incident and their faces changed.
The more Yi Zhonghai looked at Li Yang's bicycle, the more his face turned pale. The more Yi Zhonghai looked at Li Yang's bicycle, the more his face turned pale, his eyes full of jealousy and resentment.
He looked up and down at the brand new car body, clenched his fists, as if he was enduring something.
Liu Haizhong was also stunned by the scene before him.
He stared at Li Yang's new car with his eyes almost popping out of his head. He could not believe his eyes.
For a moment, he even forgot to move forward. He just stood there, staring at Li Yang riding the bike.
"Oh my god, what's wrong with this kid?" Liu Haizhong finally came to his senses and muttered in a low voice, his tone full of confusion and jealousy, "Car, chicken, where did they get these from?!"
Yi Zhonghai snorted coldly when he heard this, and his expression became even darker. He stared at Li Yang intently, as if he wanted to eat him alive.
"That's right. How can a mere worker afford such a thing?" another person echoed, "I'm afraid he has someone else behind him, or he has received some favor for no reason?"
There was a great uproar in the crowd, with all kinds of speculations and conjectures arising one after another.
Some people are envious, some are jealous, and some even think that Li Yang must have some shady background.
For a moment, an atmosphere of hostility towards Li Yang formed around.
At this moment, Li Yang had already walked in from the door. He was holding the big chicken in his hand, looking very confident.
