NFBE Chapter 517 Bicycle
Chapter 517 Bicycle
In the forest outside the production team, Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao were hiding there, waiting for dark.
"Mingxuan, the salt has been bought. The jar was bought two days ago. Shall we go hunting in the mountains with Xiaoxue tomorrow?"
“There’s no rush, wait two more days.
We will still work as usual tomorrow, but I will only work half a day.
I went to the supply and marketing cooperative today and saw two more bicycles there.
The bicycle ticket that Xiaoxue's family gave her has not been used yet. They were waiting to buy it after Zheng Pengcheng left.
Now that Zheng Pengcheng has been taken away and will never come back, it’s time to buy it back and give it to Xiaoxue.
This saves her from having to walk every time she goes to town.
I have to hurry and buy the bicycle back, the supply is not very sufficient and it will take a long time to arrive. If I miss this time, I don’t know how long I will have to wait. ”
"How about I go with you tomorrow, and we can ride a bicycle there, and then we can each have one when we come back, so you don't have to walk there.
We don't need half a day's work points." Zhao Junhao said.
"Okay, then we two will go together."
Zhao Junhao reminded, "Mingxuan, have you ever thought about how to give the bicycle to Xiaoxue?
If you give it to her like this, she will definitely not accept it.
Last time, your mother sent her clothes and shoes, and I had to persuade her to accept them. She even said she would not do it again."
Zhou Mingxuan felt a bit of a headache, "I don't have any good solution.
I plan to buy it tomorrow and send it directly to the cowshed at night, and ask Grandpa to give it to Xiaoxue so that he can worry about it."
"This is a good idea. It is a gift from an elder and cannot be declined. It is better for Grandpa Wu to take action than for the two of us."
At this time, Liu Jingxue had already gone into the space to practice, so she naturally missed the conversation between the two.
Since Zheng Pengcheng left, she no longer had to use her spiritual sense to monitor the entire place outside during the day, and she didn't have to work in the afternoon. She would hide in the space to practice, hoping to break through the seventh level of Qi training as soon as possible.
Although the highest she could reach in this life was the Golden Core Stage and there was no need for her to practice so diligently, she still wanted to quickly break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage so that she could realize her dream of flying on a sword.
After practicing in the time formation these afternoons and evenings, she has already touched the threshold of the seventh level of Qi training. She estimates that if she works harder tonight, she will be able to break through tonight or tomorrow.
After dark, Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao rode their bicycles and quickly returned home.
"I guess grandpa is waiting for us there. Let's heat up the food and fill our stomachs quickly, and then we can go over there."
Zhou Mingxuan estimated that he would be home late tonight, so when he was cooking at noon today, he specially prepared dinner as well, and put it in the cellar to cool it down. Now he just needed to heat it up slightly.
The two quickly heated up the food, filled their stomachs, and went to the cowshed.
"Why did you come later than usual today?" asked Liu Weihua as he went to open the door for them.
Zhou Mingxuan replied, "I just went to the town to buy some salt. The quantity was too much, and I was afraid of being seen, so I hid outside the production team and waited until dark before entering the village."
"You just came back and haven't eaten yet, right? I'll ask your Aunt Liu to make you some noodles."
Zhao Junhao quickly refused, "Uncle Liu, no need, we have already eaten.
At noon, I brought dinner out specially because I had already eaten at home. "
"I have really eaten. Don't be polite. We are not short of food. There is no need for you to starve. You can save food for us."
"Uncle Liu, I'm not being polite, I've really eaten."
"It's OK as long as you've eaten. Then you can go to the inner room and listen to Old Wu's lecture."
After today's class, Zhou Mingxuan whispered to his grandfather that his family had sent him a money note to buy a bicycle for Xiaoxue, and he also told him that he planned to buy the bicycle tomorrow and ask his grandfather to give it to Xiaoxue.
"Xiaoxue is not used to riding a bullock cart and always walks to town. We have long asked her to buy a bicycle, but she was worried that it would be too conspicuous, so she never bought one."
“Grandpa Wu, don’t be so careless now.
The two of us have bought one for a month or two, and the captain and the secretary also have one. It won't be too eye-catching for Xiaoxue to get a bicycle at this time." Zhao Junhao said.
“When we bought it, we wanted to buy it back for her as well, but Zheng Pengcheng was still around at that time and we were worried about causing trouble for her, so we kept putting it off until now.
Now that Zheng Pengcheng is gone, the supply and marketing cooperative just happened to have received two machines. If I don’t buy one, I don’t know when I’ll have to wait for the next one.
But if I buy it for her, she will definitely not accept it, so I have to let you, grandpa, do it for her.
After all, it is a gift from an elder, and I cannot refuse it. It is better for you to come forward than for me to do so."
When Mr. Wu heard that if they missed those two bikes, they wouldn't know when they would get the next one, he immediately said, "Then go buy the bikes tomorrow.
Send it to me in the evening and I will give it to Xiaoxue.
Xiaoxue is a very stubborn child, she will definitely not want it if you give it to her."
When Zhou Mingxuan heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, finally handing the matter over.
The next afternoon, Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao rode a bicycle to the town. After dark, they returned home in the dark.
At this time, Liu Jingxue was eating hot pot and watching variety shows in the space. After these days of hard work, this afternoon, she finally broke through the seventh level of Qi training, and took one step closer to her dream of flying with a sword. She had to celebrate.
When she was full and Ge You was lying down, Tuanzi reminded her, "Master, Zhao Junhao is coming outside."
"Why is he here? Shouldn't he go to the cowshed for class?" Liu Jingxue was a little puzzled.
"I am not sure as well.
The master had better change his clothes quickly, throw a cleansing talisman on himself, and go out.
You smell like hot pot all over. If you don't deal with it, people will immediately smell something wrong."
Liu Jingxue pulled her hair and smelled it, and it indeed smelled like hot pot.
She quickly slipped into the room, changed into clothes from the outside era, threw two cleaning talismans on her body, sniffed left and right, and made sure there was no hot pot smell on her body before leaving the space.
At this time, Zhao Junhao had already walked to her courtyard gate and knocked on the door for a while.
Liu Jingxue quickly ran over to open the door, "Brother Zhao, why are you here? Shouldn't you be taking classes at Grandpa Wu's place?"
"Grandpa Wu wants to talk to you about something, so he asked me to come and call you," Zhao Junhao explained.
"Grandpa Wu wants to talk to me about something, Brother Zhao, do you know what it is?"
How could Zhao Junhao tell the truth? "I don't know either. You will know when you get there."
Liu Jingxue walked out of the courtyard gate and closed it behind her. "Then let's go over there now."
When she arrived at the cowshed, Liu Jingxue saw the bicycle in the yard by the light of the kerosene lamp in the room.
She thought it belonged to Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao, and didn't take it seriously.
The two men came into the house. At this time, several people from the cowshed and Zhou Mingxuan were all in the outer room.
After greeting a few people, Liu Jingxue asked Mr. Wu, "Grandpa Wu, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Zhou Mingxuan delivered the car and explained that he bought it for Xiaoxue according to his family's wishes. Liu Weihua objected at the time. After all, it was a big item and it would cost more than 200 yuan to get it.
He couldn't let his niece take advantage of others like this. Besides, Xiaoxue could afford it herself.
Mr. Wu naturally refuted, and the two of them, plus Wang Xiulan, had a heated argument. Finally, Mr. Zou made the final decision and asked Xiaoxue to accept it, and to prepare more bacon, mountain products, and ginseng wine as a return of favor in the future.
After dealing with Liu Weihua and Wang Xiulan, it won’t be so difficult to deal with Liu Jingxue.
After hearing Liu Jingxue's question, Wu Lao said, "Xiaoxue, we asked you to get a bicycle before, but you thought it was too conspicuous and didn't agree.
Mingxuan and Junhao’s bicycles have been bought for some time now, so if you get another one, it won’t be inconspicuous.
I asked Mingxuan's family to get you a car so that you don't have to walk every time you go to town.
It's the one outside. It's already been registered with the police. It's in your name. You can ride it back later."
Liu Jingxue then realized that the bicycle outside was for her, so she naturally refused, "Grandpa Wu, I can buy a bicycle myself, there's no need to let the Zhou family spend money."
Naturally, Mr. Wu would not agree.
After some back and forth between the two, with the intervention of Mr. Zou, Liu Jingxue finally had no choice but to accept the offer. She just thought in her heart that she owed the favor so much, and she should send some good things to the Zhou family later.
There are a lot of ginseng in the space. Find a 300-year-old ginseng and give it to the Zhou family.
