Chapter 143

"How did this villain Cao Cao Weiguo get such good luck!"

"This heaven really doesn't have eyes!"

Seeing Shazhu cursed with resentment, his eyes turning red with anger.

Cao Cao Weiguo didn't notice the resentful Seeing Shazhu, and after walking for a while, he carried Song Song Yulan to Wangfujing.

The brand-new "Yongjiu" bicycle was quite eye-catching on the street, becoming a highlight in the eyes of passersby.

The bicycle in this era is equivalent to the sports car of the future, a large item that ordinary people can hardly afford.

Cao Cao Weiguo's speed was not fast, as he was carrying his beautiful wife on the back.

Everything seeks stability; safety first.

Passing through the streets of the 1960s, they arrived at Wangfujing Street.

Parking the bicycle at the parking lot, the couple strolled leisurely.

Walking into the crowded department store, they arrived at the radio counter.

Even though Cao Cao Weiguo had a radio ticket in his hand, Song Song Yulan still insisted on not letting Cao Cao Weiguo buy it.

"The radio is too expensive, and it's useless at home; don't spend money indiscriminately."

Song Song Yulan insisted on pulling Cao Cao Weiguo: "Living a life still needs to be frugal."

Cao Cao Weiguo pleaded bitterly: "Good wife, the radio is not useless. I am a deputy director after all; I need to pay attention to national affairs at all times... If there is no radio, I will easily fall behind... If I can't keep up with the pace, I won't be able to be a deputy director for long..."

After a round of Cao Cao Weiguo's sweet talk, Song Song Yulan reluctantly loosened her mouth.

Then, under Song Song Yulan's pouting expression, Cao Cao Weiguo took out the radio ticket.

Amidst people's envious eyes, he spent a lot of money to buy a "Panda" brand radio.

Song Song Yulan looked at the radio held in Cao Cao Weiguo's arms:

"This is 125 Brother Yuan; if you bought corn flour, it would be enough for the family to eat for three or four years."

"Wife, don't feel pained; isn't making money for spending?"

"With your man's ability, this money will be earned back soon."

Cao Cao Weiguo laughed and comforted the pained Song Song Yulan, and bought his wife snowflake cream and a pair of leather shoes.

Although Song Song Yulan complained about spending money indiscriminately, the smile on her face couldn't be hidden.

The couple left the department store amidst a crowd of envious eyes.

When the couple returned to the Sihe Academy with the radio, it caused a sensation.

The neighbors in the courtyard looked at the radio with red eyes, and the Third Master's eyes were fixed on the radio, unable to move away.

The Third Master asked enviously: "Cao Weiguo, this is a Panda brand radio; it must have cost a lot of money, right?"

Song Song Yulan said painfully: "It's not, just this thing cost 125 Brother Yuan, like robbing money."

"125!"

"So much money!"

"Cao Weiguo, you are really willing to spend money!"

"Bicycle, watch, sewing machine, plus this radio, your family has all the 'three turns and one sound'!"

"This condition is top-notch in the whole street!"

"Song Yulan is really blessed."

"People compare with people, it's maddening!"

"That's because Cao Weiguo has the ability!"

The neighbors in the courtyard were full of envy for Cao Cao Weiguo's prosperous life, and those who were sycophantic had endless good words.

Xu Xu Damao looked at Cao Cao Weiguo, who was surrounded and sought after by everyone, and couldn't help but feel jealous.

He used to be the one living the best in the courtyard; who didn't envy him for eating well and drinking well?

But now, compared with Cao Cao Weiguo, his projectionist job is far behind.

Although the relationship between the two is good, Xu Xu Damao still feels very uncomfortable in his heart.

The First Master looked at the radio held by Cao Cao Weiguo and shook his head with a bad face:

"He is young after all, doesn't know how to live."

"Spending money so lavishly, no matter how thick the family foundation is, it will be spent."

Jia Jia Zhangshi sat at the door, her eyes red as she threw away the shoe sole in her hand:

"Selfish beast, only knows how to enjoy himself; he has money to buy a radio but doesn't help his neighbors."

"Deserves to have his parents die, sooner or later he will be a childless person."

"Pah!"

Listening to her mother-in-law's vicious curses, Qin Qin Huairu didn't feel good either.

Looking at Song Song Yulan, who was carrying large and small bags, her heart was full of jealousy.

Thinking about her own life, and then looking at the life Song Song Yulan is living.

Although both married into the city from the countryside, the lives they lived were worlds apart.

Sihe Academy

Amidst the envious eyes of the neighbors, the Cao couple returned home.

After putting the radio away, they fiddled with it freshly.

The radio is a luxury item of this era and also a witness to the times.

The Panda brand radio has a gorgeous and generous style and a rich national style in its design.

In terms of electro-acoustic comprehensive performance, it has caught up with the advanced level of similar international products at that time.

It is also a high-level product of contemporary domestic civilian electronic audio, and has been praised in the Great Hall of the People and Chinese embassies abroad.

It was also presented as a national gift to visiting foreign heads of state and won the first prize of the special-grade radio group.

"The East is Red, the sun rises... He seeks happiness for the people, he is the great savior of the people..."

Soon, a passionate song rang out from the radio, making the neighbors in the courtyard prick up their ears.

Song Song Yulan also walked out of the kitchen, staring curiously at the brand-new radio, listening to the loud singing.

Listening to the impassioned singing, the neighbors in the courtyard were full of envy and jealousy.

Jia Jia Zhangshi was cursing in the house, issuing various vicious curses.

Bang Geng took Xiao Dang and Little Huaihua and ran to the backyard, wanting to hear more clearly.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Liu Guangfu in the backyard took their comic books and excitedly found a good spot.

Listening to the singing on the radio and looking at the wonderful comic books made the Liu brothers feel addicted.

It also made Bang Geng and other children very envious, and several teenagers couldn't help but lean over to borrow the comic books.

A thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy said with a face full of longing: "Brother Guangtian, lend me this comic book to read after you finish it."

Liu Guangtian said proudly: "What are you thinking? This book was borrowed from Brother Cao Weiguo; what if I lend it to you and you damage it? Can you afford to pay for it?"

Bang Geng said disdainfully: "Isn't it just a comic book? What are you proud of?"

Liu Liu Guangfu looked at Bang Geng and mocked: "Bang Geng, you're not big, but your tone is not small. You're so arrogant, does your widow mother know?"

Bang Geng was immediately humiliated, his eyes turned red, and he raised his fist and shouted as he rushed towards Liu Liu Guangfu.

But the two were several years apart, and their physiques were also very different.

Liu Liu Guangfu kicked Bang Geng to the ground with one foot, scaring Xiao Dang and Little Huaihua into hiding.

"Bang Geng, you kid, looking for a beating, right!"

Liu Guangtian naturally sided with his younger brother, stood up, and glared fiercely at Bang Geng.

Bang Geng also knew that a hero doesn't suffer immediate losses, so he left the backyard angrily, leaving Xiao Dang and Little Huaihua behind.

The radio played for more than forty minutes, and Song Song Yulan couldn't bear the electricity bill, so she forcibly pressed the switch.

Without the radio to listen to, the children went back to their homes.

Cao Cao Weiguo, who shrugged helplessly, moved to the kitchen and took a piece of cured meat from the cupboard.

After asking his wife, he began to make a plate of green pepper stir-fried with cured meat.

Before long, the smell of green pepper stir-fried with cured meat began to permeate.

Different from simple stir-fried meat, the taste of green pepper is stronger, more pungent, and more fragrant.

Bang Geng, who had just been beaten, made a scene at home: "I want to eat meat! Grandma, I want to eat meat!"

With the greedy bear child making a scene, Qin Qin Huairu couldn't help but want to curse.
