"Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy."
The sound of insects in the nearby grass suddenly came again.
After a short silence, Chen Fang laughed and suddenly remembered his old man's words.
Men can use both old and new cars, but girls don’t need to buy something nice and new! It would be nice to have a car for you to ride on! Still asking for so much!
When the old man said that, he had just entered the first grade of junior high school!
A week after school started, I loudly told my mother that I wanted to buy a better bicycle and that I no longer wanted to ride the old man’s bike.
He remembered clearly the expression on the old man's face at that time. He glared and yelled at him: He has been riding this car to work for five or six years. It is very loyal. There is nothing wrong with it.
He curled his lips and said, "It's been five or six years, what else is there to do? The whole car is ringing except for the bell, which is not ringing."
The old man laughed when he heard this: "Isn't this very good? It just reminds others that you have arrived."
The corners of his mouth twitched: "There are no brakes either."
The old man put down the newspaper in his hand, walked to the car, and stretched out his foot: "See? Automatic brake."
He turned away angrily and looked towards his mother: "Can you change it? As long as it has brakes."
The road was full of potholes, but it didn’t matter if I didn’t have brakes!
But no matter what, he just learned to ride a bicycle. To be exact, he just learned it when he was about to graduate from elementary school three months ago!
He didn't dare to take the risk of falling down and scratching his face.
Also, the car had no brakes on the front or rear wheels, and no fenders. When riding after the rain, mud was splashed on the front and back of the car.
What's more, he is also a study committee member after all. He will be laughed at if he rides such a shabby car!
"Okay," Mother looked at the father and son from side to side, and pointed at the other car, "You guys can ride instead."
Chen Fang followed his mother's hand and looked over, shaking his head: "Forget it, let's just ride this one."
On that car, the old man just patched two inner tires this afternoon, but he saw it with his own eyes!
The old man smiled: "A man, don't be burdened by external objects. You are not a little girl."
He pursed his lips and went back to the house alone.
The next day, I drove the loyal old car, which was ringing everywhere except for the bell, to the school with great difficulty.
This drive is a year!
Winter turns to spring, and in a blink of an eye, summer is here again.
When summer came, the old man suddenly said to him that if he still ranked among the top five in the class and the top twenty in the school in the final exam of the first grade of junior high school, he would get a car for him.
He was delighted.
He glanced at the old man proudly, turned around and entered the house.
He has always been in the top 20, and this time will definitely be no exception!
At the end of the summer, he threw the red results on the desk in front of the old man, crossed his chest with proud hands, and threw a "Three Good Student" certificate with him.
But after looking left and right, the old man pursed his lips and said to him, "I changed my mind!"
The car will not be replaced!
When he heard this, he was so angry that he almost punched the old man, but he held it down forcefully.
Calm down, this is your biological father!
can not fight!
The old man told him righteously that it was easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it was difficult to go from luxury to frugality. It was better not to change, but to use the money wisely.
He instantly became angry again and was about to turn around and leave, but was grabbed by the old man.
"Look at Yiyi, a girl who doesn't care so much about external things. How can she be so vain like you?"
He turned and looked at the old man's cheerful face. Is he vain?
Where is his vanity?
At worst, save your lucky money and buy it yourself!
Chen Fang struggled hard, but his strength was too weak and he couldn't break free!
We haven’t had time to eat dinner yet!
Chen Fang turned his head away awkwardly, out of sight and out of mind!
"No, this is for you." The old man patted his sleeve.
When he turned around, he saw the old man handing him the ticket.
Chen Fang's eyes instantly straightened.
He is a student, what does he need money for?
He just wanted to change his bike to a better one, one with brakes.
"No need." Chen Fang tilted his head angrily, "It's not rare."
"Are you stupid?" The old man stuffed the ticket into his pocket. "When you grow up, you should have a concept and understanding of money."
"What?" Chen Fang turned his head awkwardly and glanced at the old man, "What do you mean?"
"It's your fourteenth birthday soon," the old man pointed at the money he just stuffed into his pocket, "you can use it to buy your birthday present."
"Ah?" Chen Fang didn't believe his ears, so he reached out and took it out, with a look of disbelief on his face!
"Why are you so dazed? Dad is cultivating your financial intelligence, do you understand?" Chen Daran let go of his hand and kicked Chen Fang with his foot.
It just happened to hit Chen Fang's butt.
"What's the matter with you always taking action when you have something to say?"
Chen Fang felt a little angry for a moment, turned over slightly, stretched out his hand to rub the place where he was kicked.
"Hahaha," Chen Daran laughed and waved to Chen Fang, "Hurry up and go, don't waste my time."
Chen Fang's cheeks bulged with anger and he turned around and left.
"Oh, by the way, take this away and don't put it in my eyes."
Chen Fang turned around, took his transcript and certificate of achievement handed over by the old man, turned around and left.
"Hanhan is better than you."
The old man's voice came from behind.
Chen Fang paused.
"You haven't heard yet, right? Hanhan's grades for getting promoted from primary school to junior high school are out, ranking first in the school."
Ah! What's so great!
Chen Fang pursed his lips and walked out.
Yiyi was also number one in the school and was promoted from primary school to junior high school that year.
Ahem, now he is also number one in the school!
And he was the second in elementary school back then, and now he is in the top five in the class. Chen Fang couldn't help but hesitated again. Now he only ranked among the top twenty in the school.
"It's better to be a daughter." Chen Daran smacked his lips, "Don't bother me, I won't make demands, so you won't have to worry."
Chen Fang shook off the transcript in his hand and walked out.
In the eyes of his old man, he has always been the bad one!
However, later, on the last day before the winter vacation of the second grade of junior high school, the old man suddenly changed his car and gave him a new one.
He felt inexplicably moved in his heart, and when he saw another brand-new compact bicycle in the yard, he felt bad instantly.
Without asking, he knew that the new car was for Hanhan.
And he can only have that half-new car.
Fortunately, the old car I just replaced had bells, brakes, and front and rear fenders!
never mind!
He is not the kind of person who loves vain calculations.
"I'm a boy, older is easier. Come on!" Chen Fang calmed down and stretched out his hand to Yiyi, "Give me the car and sit behind me."
"Haha." Yiyi stopped, walked around to the front of the car, held the car forward a little with one hand and leaned against Chen Fang, "Hold on!"
"Yes!" Chen Fang responded, reached out to hold the handlebar, and suddenly grabbed Yiyi's hand.
