I rode my bicycle back to the courtyard. It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon.
Originally, Jiang Donglai stayed with him for dinner.
However, before coming out this morning, Du Fei had already promised Xu Damao, so it was not easy to let go.
As soon as I entered the courtyard gate.
I saw Yan Jiecheng squatting in front of his house to smoke, and looking at the door from time to time.
When he saw Du Fei coming in, his eyes suddenly lit up.
He stopped smoking the half-smoked cigarette, threw it on the ground, and greeted him with a smile.
Du Fei could tell without thinking that he was specially waiting for him. He smiled and teased, "Jie Cheng, you asked Sister Yu to kick you out to smoke."
Yan Jiecheng said with a smile, "No way, she can't control us at home."
Du Fei said, "That's not possible. Smoking is not good for children. Sister Yu is pregnant! Can you smoke? You should smoke."
Yan Jiecheng flashed a hint of embarrassment.
In fact, people now also know that smoking is not good.
But it seems that it is natural for men to smoke, and there are not so many restrictions on it, and there is no such thing as second-hand smoke.
Although Yu Li was pregnant, Yan Jiecheng did not avoid smoking. Instead, he asked an outsider to remind him.
Yan Jiecheng felt a little awkward in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface. He kept smiling and chatting with Du Fei without saying anything was wrong.
Du Fei was too lazy to make excuses with him. After saying a few words, he asked directly, "Jie Cheng, if you have anything to say, just tell me. We have been neighbors for more than ten years and don't talk about the outside world."
Yan Jiecheng was a little embarrassed and subconsciously said "No".
Du Fei said with a straight face, "Really not? Then I'll go home." He turned the handle of the car and started walking towards the courtyard.
Only then did Yan Jiecheng react and said quickly, "Hey, wait a minute, I... I have something to do."
Du Fei laughed and turned the handlebar back, "You Look, what did I say! What’s the matter? Say~”
Yan Jiecheng smiled sheepishly and said, "Um... can I borrow a bicycle from you tomorrow?"
Du Fei was stunned, he didn't expect this to happen.
At the same time, I also understood why Yan Jiecheng was so fussy.
Obviously, Yan Jiecheng borrowed a bicycle from him and had no intention of paying him.
But just in the first two months.
When Du Fei first crossed over, he borrowed a bicycle from his third uncle to go to Chen Zhongyuan's house, but he clearly gave him fifty cents.
Du Fei had just traveled through time at that time. Although he knew that prices were very cheap at this time, he had no specific idea and just gave him 50 cents.
At that time, Yan Jiefang secretly scolded Du Fei for being careless.
But now, it was his turn to borrow a bicycle from Du Fei, so he felt no need to worry about it.
Logically speaking, borrowing a bicycle only costs ten cents.
But Du Fei had paid fifty cents before, and Yan Jiecheng's suggestion of another cent would be unreasonable, so he could only bite the bullet and not mention the money at all.
Yan Jiecheng was helpless.
Previously, he and Yu Li planned to go to Yu Xinxin's house to see if there was any chance to introduce Yu Xinxin to Du Fei.
The two parties have really become relatives again, and it will be much easier to do things and talk in the future.
But I went there today and came up empty-handed.
Because it is a major matter of whether they can move out after giving birth.
Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li still refused to give up and planned to go again tomorrow.
But the third uncle insists on going fishing tomorrow, and refuses to put his own car away even if he says nothing.
The car is for them to use.
They had no choice but to find someone else.
I thought that Silly Zhu was a warm-hearted person and would be able to borrow the car.
Who would have thought that I would go to see Teacher Ran tomorrow, and Yan Jiecheng would tell me that he would not let go of the bicycle.
Qin Huairu, on the other hand, rode back to her parents' house early in the morning. She hasn't come back yet, so she probably has to spend the night.
In the end, after much deliberation, Du Fei was the only one.
When Du Fei heard this, he laughed and said, "Hey~ What do I think it's about? Take it~" He pushed the car and said, "By the way, I'm not very angry anymore. Please pump up some energy."
Yan Jiecheng took over and thanked him profusely.
He was so small-minded that he thought Du Fei was holding on to the fifty cents, so he made up his mind that he would never give the money no matter what.
Unexpectedly, Du Fei didn't even mention it and gave him the bicycle, as if it didn't even happen.
Then, he waved his hand and entered the middle courtyard.
Yan Jiecheng was still a little dazed and chewed his teeth.
He suddenly felt that there was something wrong with the motto that he had always adhered to since he was a grown-up, the motto he inherited from his third uncle, "If you don't have enough to eat, you won't have to wear clothes, and you will only suffer poverty if you can't calculate", was there something wrong with it?
What is Du Fei planning? How can people's lives become better and better?
On the contrary, his family is making calculations every day. The parents are not like parents, the children are not like children, and there is no improvement in life.
In fact, this is another reason why Yan Jiecheng insists on going out and living alone.
Subconsciously and instinctively, he did not want his children to grow up in this kind of environment.
Yan Jiecheng borrowed the car, but he was a little unhappy.
Back in the house, seeing him like this, the third uncle who was reading pushed up his glasses and said, "I just heard Du Fei talking. Why?" Well, he didn’t lend you the car?”
Yan Jiecheng shook his head in a daze, sat down and weakly replied "Borrowed~"
"Borrowed it?" The third uncle looked at his eldest son strangely, "How much money do you want?"
Yan Jiecheng came back to his senses and opened his mouth to talk to the third uncle, but after thinking about it, he endured it and said in a low voice, "I didn't ask for money."
The third uncle's little bitch narrowed his eyes and said hey, "If you don't ask for money, who can you show to me with such a miserable face!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Jiecheng was even less interested in talking and simply stood up and went back to his hut.
Enter the house, close the door, take off your shoes, and go to bed~
Yu Li was sitting on the bed sewing children's clothes.
Seeing Yan Jiecheng come back, he immediately asked, "Did you borrow the car?"
Yan Jiecheng nodded, leaned on the quilt, and suddenly asked, "Xiaoli, do you think we can really live a good life if we think about it like this?"
Yu Li was stunned and looked at her man strangely. This was the first time she saw Yan Jie like this.
Yu Li put down her needle and thread and asked with a very serious expression, "Why are you suffering from hysteria? If our family doesn't plan like this, we won't be able to eat until the end of the month. How else can we live like this?"
Yu Li's family didn't live well at first. Although her parents were not as calculating as the third uncle, they were still planning carefully every day.
The reason why Yan Jiefang said this caused such a big reaction from Yu Li was because he was afraid that Yan Jiecheng would suddenly have a whim and do something that would ruin his family's fortune.
Her father was the one at the beginning, but it ended up being a mess and losing a lot of property.
A family like theirs cannot withstand any disturbance.
Yan Jiefang was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses and said with a wry smile, "I don't mean anything else, I just saw Du Fei just now. It suddenly occurred to me that Du Fei has never planned this or that for a day, how can he get better and better?"
