Chapter 284: The Tide Turns

Du Fei walked around for a day.

Riding a bicycle back to the courtyard, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon

Originally, Jiang Donglai stayed with him for dinner.

But 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.

Seeing Du Fei come 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! You should smoke if you can."

Yan Jiecheng flashed a hint of embarrassment.

In fact, people now know that smoking is not good.

But it seems 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 still smiled and chatted with Du Fei without saying anything was wrong.

Du Fei was too lazy to make excuses with him. After saying a few words, he directly asked, "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 outsiders."

Yan Jiecheng was a little embarrassed and subconsciously said 'no'.

Du Fei said with a straight face, "Really? Then I'm going 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 I'm talking about! What's going on? 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 upset.

It was obvious that Yan Jiecheng had no intention of paying him when he borrowed a bicycle.

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 paid fifty cents before, and Yan Jiecheng's suggestion of another cent would be unreasonable. He simply had to 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 to a child.

Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li still refused to give up and planned to go there again tomorrow.

But the third uncle insists on going fishing tomorrow, and refuses to put his own car on his hands no matter what.

The car is for them to use.

The two of them had no choice but to find someone else.

I thought that Silly Zhu was a warm-hearted person and should be able to borrow the car.

Who would have known that I would go to see Teacher Ran tomorrow, and even if Yan Jiecheng told me about it, 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 smiled 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 him the money no matter what.

Unexpectedly, Du Fei gave him the bicycle without even mentioning it, 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 so old, 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 it", 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 environment.

Yan Jiecheng borrowed the car, but he was a little depressed.

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!"

Hearing this, Yan Jiecheng lost interest in talking and simply stood up and went back to his own room.

Enter the room, close the door, take off shoes, and go to bed~

Yu Li was sitting on the bed sewing clothes for the child.

Seeing Yan Jiecheng come back, she immediately asked, "Have you borrowed the car?"

Yan Jiecheng nodded, leaned on the quilt, and suddenly asked, "Xiao Li, do you think~ can we really live a good life by calculating like this?"

Yu Li was stunned and looked at her man strangely. It was the first time she saw Yan Jiecheng like this.

Yu Li put down her needlework and asked with a very serious expression, "Why are you hysterical? If our family doesn't calculate like this, we won't have enough food to eat at the end of the month. What else can we do if we don't live like this?"

Yu Li's family didn't live well before. Although her parents didn't calculate like the third uncle, they also calculated carefully every day.

The reason why Yan Jiefang said this caused such a big reaction in Yu Li was that she was afraid that Yan Jiecheng would have a sudden whim and do something to ruin the family.

Her father did that at the beginning, and ended up in a mess, losing a lot of property.

A family like theirs can't stand any disturbance.

Yan Jiefang was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, smiling bitterly and said, "I don't mean anything else, I just saw Du Fei just now. Suddenly I thought, Du Fei, he never calculated this or that all day, how come he is getting better and better?"
