The sudden change made those around who were watching the excitement immediately widen their eyes.
Even Li Shiqiang and Xu Sheng who were about to leave hurriedly stopped and turned their heads.
The young man who had been smoking a cigarette with a relaxed expression just now was suddenly frightened and lost his mind. He stood there and stared blankly at the person who shouted.
"Damn it, let's see if I don't chop off your hands today!"
The person calling was a middle-aged man wearing gray overalls. He was holding a bag of eggs in his hand. He looked like he had just gotten off work from the factory and was planning to buy something to take home.
It turned out that he seemed to be wandering in the black market and accidentally saw his discarded bicycle, so after he cursed angrily, he rushed up.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
The young man with a cigarette in his mouth looked at the figure rushing up. At this time, he finally woke up. He waved hurriedly, then kicked off his bicycle, planning to escape.
They were just a group of people watching the excitement. After seeing the bicycle rushing towards them, they hurriedly moved to both sides to avoid it.
After all, bicycles are a rare thing nowadays, and everyone is afraid of damaging other people's bicycles, so after seeing bicycles rushing towards them, many people choose to avoid them.
After these people avoided it, the young man rode a bicycle and came to Li Shiqiang and Xu Sheng.
"Get out of the way! Get out of my way quickly!"
Holding the handrails with both hands, the young man rushed over on his bicycle with a look of fear on his face.
When he saw his frightened expression, Li Shiqiang concluded that the bicycle was probably stolen by him.
In the late 1970s, people's lives were quite scarce and poor, and their awareness of the law was also quite shallow.
Therefore, it is inevitable that there will be some people who steal bicycles or engage in vandalism and robbery.
And since we have not yet experienced "severe crackdowns" at this time, many people naturally like to take risks.
Therefore, when he saw the young man who was suspected of being a bike thief rushing over on his bicycle with a panicked look on his face, Li Shiqiang immediately pulled the bullock cart behind him and turned it around.
With a "bang" sound, the bicycle and the car directly hit the board of the bullock cart, followed by several more car bells ringing due to the collision.
"Ouch, why did it hit our car?"
Xu Sheng, who was on the side, stared at the young man on the car board in panic.
"Look at the hammer, you two are fooling around!"
The young man cursed angrily and stood up in a hurry to leave.
But before he could jump out of the car, Li Shiqiang pinned him to the car board with one hand.
"Relax and stop meddling!"
The young man looked shocked and subconsciously wanted to break away. In desperation, he stretched out his foot and kicked Li Shiqiang.
But as soon as he kicked his foot out, he felt bitten by something.
"ah....!"
The young man let out a cry of pain and immediately looked at his feet.
Just on the foot he kicked towards Li Shiqiang, there was a grinning native dog hanging.
And this dog is naturally Xiaohua.
"Relax, relax, little flower."
When Li Shiqiang saw Xiaohua biting someone else, he quickly asked them to let go.
After all, Xiaohua usually bites to death, and if it bites someone, the pain may not be ordinary.
While he was shouting for Xiaohua to let go, the middle-aged man in factory uniform carrying the eggs had also rushed to the side of the cart and slapped her.
"What a bitch. He dared to steal my bicycle. I was scolded by the housekeeper for several days."
“Let’s see if I don’t beat you to death today, you car thief!!”
After the middle-aged man slapped him a few more times, he finally vented his anger.
He first grabbed the young man's hair tightly with one hand, then turned to look at Li Shiqiang and said, "Brother, thank you for your help!"
"It's okay! It's okay!"
Li Shiqiang waved his hand nonchalantly and continued to comfort Xiaohua who finally let go.
Then, he lifted the man's bicycle off the platform and prepared to leave.
"Hey, brother, don't leave!"
The middle-aged man looked at the car thief and the bicycle next to him, and had to stand there and try to stop Li Shiqiang.
But Li Shiqiang just smiled, waved his hand, and left with Xu Sheng.
After the two left, Xu Sheng sighed and said with a sigh: "That thief's luck is really bad. Just when he was about to sell the stolen bicycle, he met the man who lost the bicycle. He planned to run away on the bicycle. Yes, I happened to bump into you again."
"Hahaha, this is what bad people get."
Li Shiqiang smiled nonchalantly and continued to take Xu Sheng to visit the black market.
After shopping around for a while, he first helped Xu Sheng find a place that sold gauze scarves, and asked the other party to choose a gauze scarf with a good color for Xu Lian. Then he bought some delicious food for Xu Lian, which Li Shiqiang had previously given to the third child. 4. Some things they bought and ate.
Canned mandarin oranges in sugar water, crispy twists, Ding Ding candies, fruit candies...
Xu Sheng even bought a barrel of malted milk that Li Shiqiang had bought before.
But just after buying it, he sighed with some distress: "When I drank this at your house, I just thought it tasted good, but I didn't expect it to be so expensive!"
"Expensive has its advantages!"
As soon as Li Shiqiang finished speaking, a bright light suddenly appeared in the corner of his eyes.
He looked along the bright light and saw a woman in her thirties standing alone by the wall, holding a watch in her hand.
Selling watches?
Looking at the watch in the woman's hand, Li Shiqiang immediately thought about it, and immediately walked over and said, "Sister, are you selling watches?"
The woman looked up at him, turned her head calmly and said nothing.
Li Shiqiang was also a little confused by the woman's actions. Did he think he couldn't afford it and didn't want to talk to him?
He lowered his head and looked at the yellow mud-stained Jiefang shoes under his feet, as well as the gray trousers with a fat waistband and a patched coat. Finally, he had no choice but to say again with some helplessness: "Sister, I sincerely want to buy a watch. Prepare to get married."
Hearing this, the woman who looked down on others just now finally turned around and looked at Li Shiqiang and said: "Brother, this is Shang Hai's gem flower watch. You can't buy it at ordinary prices."
The Gem Flower Watch is a watch produced by Shanghai Watch Factory No. 2. Because of its exquisite appearance design, it is indeed popular for a while, and the price is indeed relatively expensive.
Li Shiqiang had also heard of gem flower watches. After taking a look at the watch in the woman's hand, he found that it was an all-steel women's watch with a rose-red gem flower in the watch.
The appearance of this watch is indeed good. It will definitely look good if worn on Huang Yun's hand.
He nodded with some satisfaction and asked again: "Sister, please tell me a price."
"OK."
Seeing how persistent Li Shiqiang was, the woman finally agreed on a price.
