The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 17: Fuck Your Uncle
"I've seen many people buy bicycles, but I've never seen anyone brag like you." The salesman said cheerfully, "I don't care whether you brag or not. I'm selling you the bicycle. Remember to get it stamped."

After the salesperson issued the ticket, he would hold it with a clip and slide it to the cashier via a steel wire in the air. This was a feature of that era. In fact, this was still the case in some department stores until the 1990s, and it was considered a sight to behold.

Liu Hua rode his bike to the police station, paid the money, and the police stamped Liu Hua's identity card. Coincidentally, he met the director, who was the one who went to the courtyard with Liu Hua's father last time.

"Hey, Huazi, did you buy a bicycle?"

"Hello, Uncle Zhou." Liu Hua stood on the bicycle bar and greeted him with a smile: "I just achieved some small success. The factory leader rewarded me with a bicycle ticket. I also wanted to show off, so I bought it quickly."

Director Zhou smiled and said, "It's time to buy a bicycle. With a bicycle, it will be much easier to find a partner. You are not a child anymore, it's time to find a partner. Do you want Uncle Zhou to introduce you to someone?"

"No, I'm still a child. I haven't had enough fun by myself, so how can I think about starting a family and building a career?"

Director Zhou pointed at Liu Hua and shook his head with a smile: "If I tell your father this, you will definitely get beaten with a belt."

"Impossible. Our Liu family has always been democratic." Liu Hua said with a smile: "I have never been beaten with a belt since I was a child."

"You're so poor." Director Zhou smiled and said, "Okay, come and play with me when you have time."

"You must be joking. This is the police station. Who would come to the police station to have fun for no reason?"

Director Zhou smiled and patted Liu Hua on the back of his head: "When you were a kid, you didn't often go to your dad's workplace. Now that you've grown up, you dislike it?"

"How dare I!"

"It's been half a year in my jurisdiction. How is it going? Have you encountered any trouble? I heard that your courtyard is a civilized courtyard all year round."

Liu Hua smiled disdainfully: "Civilized Liu, there are few good birds in the yard."

"What's the matter? Someone dares to trouble you?"

Liu Hua shook his head: "That's not the case. These people don't even dare to disturb public order, but they lack morality. Their bodies have entered the new society, but their brains are still in the old society."

Director Zhou understood what he meant, smiled and said nothing. This was the job of the Sub-district Office, and he should mention it to the director of the Sub-district Office when he had a chance. He couldn't take the initiative to do it himself, as it would easily make people hate him.

Riding a bicycle for a couple of laps outside, the feeling is no less than that of driving a Lamborghini convertible for a couple of laps on the road forty or fifty years later. You will definitely get a lot of attention.

When they returned to the courtyard, the third uncle was already standing at the door as a gate god. When he saw Liu Hua riding a bicycle to the door, he pounced on him like a vicious dog pouncing on its prey.

"Hua Zi, did you buy a bicycle?"

"It's so obvious, I couldn't have stolen it, could I?"

The third uncle smiled and said, "You are just kidding. Who would dare to do such an illegal thing in broad daylight?"

The third uncle stroked Liu Hua's bicycle as if he were stroking a priceless treasure. His movements were very light, as if he was afraid that if he used too much force he might poke a hole in the bicycle.

"Forever Big 28, a good car, a good car."

The uncle praised the bike while touching it from beginning to end. He even pushed the bike for a few steps and said, "A new bike feels so good."

"Don't you have a bicycle too? Is it necessary to do this?" "My bicycle is second-hand. How can it compare to a new one?" The third uncle said with a smile: "Hua Zi, you bought a big item. You should at least set up two tables to celebrate."

"Not really, it's just a bicycle, not worth celebrating." Liu Hua waved his hand: "How ignorant that would be. Besides, if I set up two tables to celebrate, wouldn't you have to pay for the drinks if you come over?"

"It's not a wedding or funeral, how can there be any gift?"

Liu Hua shook his head: "Come on, don't even think about taking advantage of me. I can't set up two tables just for a bicycle. It's not a big deal."

Although there won't be two tables to celebrate, it doesn't mean Liu Hua can't improve his life. There is some bacon at home, which he can stir-fry with green peppers, stew some egg custard, and add some white flour buns, which is delicious.

Just as I was about to eat, the door was pushed open. A burly figure blocked the door and asked rudely before entering: "Liu Hua, where did you get your bicycle?"

Liu Hua squinted his eyes and took a look. It turned out to be the uneducated Second Uncle. He was looking at Liu Hua with a righteous expression on his face. His eyes fully showed that he was suspicious of Liu Hua.

"Where can it come from? I bought it."

“Where did you get the bicycle ticket?”

Liu Hua said impatiently: "It was given by the leader, no, Liu Haizhong, who do you think you are? Why do you question me like this?"

"How dare you! I am the second uncle in the courtyard. If something happens in the courtyard, can't I ask about it?"

"I'm going to fuck your uncle."

There were many people watching the fun outside the door. When they heard Liu Hua cursing, they immediately burst into laughter, and Liu Haizhong became angry and embarrassed because of the laughter.

"What kind of attitude is this? You actually don't respect the leaders of the hospital."

"Who do you think you are?" Liu Hua said bluntly, "You think you are a leader? What's your administrative level? You are so crazy. You are just a liaison officer of the subdistrict office. Do you know your last name? Do you know what the subdistrict office wants you to do?"

"The subdistrict office asked us to manage this courtyard. If you don't respect me, you don't respect the subdistrict office."

"Fuck you," Liu Hua cursed. "You're just using a feather as a token of authority. The subdistrict office asked you to mediate some trivial conflicts in the courtyard. Who asked you to be in charge? I'm telling you, for these conflicts, you can only mediate if they are willing to let you mediate. If they are not willing to let you mediate, you have no right to mediate."

"I won't argue with you, but you're still getting excited." Liu Hua continued, "You just pretend to be an elephant by putting a green onion in your pig's nose."

"You are so lawless." Liu Haizhong said angrily, "You don't even respect the elders in the hospital. I will call a meeting of the whole hospital to criticize you."

"Get lost. If you have a way, go. If you don't, die. And next time you enter my room, knock first. You have no manners at all. You don't even know the management methods of the street office, and you still appoint yourself a leader. You think you are a nobody, and no one cares about you."

Liu Haizhong ran home in a rage, throwing stools and slamming the table, but he still felt unsatisfied, so he finally ran to Yi Zhonghai's house.

"After dinner tonight, I will hold a meeting of the whole institute."

Yi Zhonghai pretended to be confused even though he knew the truth: "Why? Why are you holding a meeting?"

Yi Zhonghai was a man with evil intentions in his heart, and Liu Haizhong just happened to take the initiative to come to him.
