Chapter 446 Buying a Bicycle
Chapter 446 Buying a Bicycle
Liang Xinyue has indeed thought carefully about every aspect.
After dinner, Xiao Wei and Qiu Yue'e went to the department store. As expected, the people here were dressed differently and looked much richer than those in the county town.
They took a quick walk around and saw a place selling bicycles. Xiao Wei had originally taken a fancy to a blue women's bicycle, which looked very special among the black bicycles. However, Qiu Yue'e shook her head and said:
"Don't buy something that stands out. I'll just buy black. Something that stands out too much will cause some unnecessary trouble."
Xiao Wei smiled and picked out a dark-colored Phoenix brand women's bicycle. In fact, it was called a women's bicycle, but the circle was one size smaller than the men's.
I gave it a try to Qiu Yue'e and it turned out to be quite good.
It is also said that this batch of bicycles will also come with an air pump.
Bicycles are not cheap nowadays. To be more precise, all industrial products in this era are very expensive, especially those that have something mechanical in them.
But agricultural products are very cheap, which makes it impossible for farmers to get rich, and ordinary farmers cannot afford industrial products.
A bicycle like this requires a bicycle ticket, and of course, bicycle tickets are really rare.
In addition to the ticket, you also need money. This one cost more than 160 yuan. In that era, when the average worker's salary was only about 18 yuan, a bicycle would cost them ten months without food or water.
Therefore, only a few people can afford to buy a bicycle. And some people have always aimed to buy a bicycle, and they have to save money for one or two years.
Next, those who are getting married now and have bicycles will be given priority, just like those who own BMWs will be compared with those who don’t in a few decades.
If a daughter of a family brings a bicycle as a dowry, that would be a very generous dowry.
Xiao Wei used his own money this time, and the ticket was given by Liang Xinyue, so he bought Qiu Yue'e a bicycle. Then he rode with Qiu Yue'e to the university, and when they came back, Qiu Yue'e rode, and he sometimes rode on it, and sometimes ran behind it.
After calculating the time, it really only took Qiu Yue'e 35 minutes to ride back.
Xiao Shun saw that the two men really bought a bicycle. Fortunately, there was a corridor on the first floor of the family building that was specially used to store bicycles.
But Qiu Yue'e didn't want to put it downstairs, as it was a new car and she was afraid it would be knocked off. So she put it in a vacant space on the second floor, where the chickens were locked, and locked it to the balcony railing with a chain she had bought.
Xiao Wei saw that Qiu Yue'e's affairs had been taken care of and she had to hurry back. She looked at the little guy who had been brought out. The little guy was very small, but still chubby. Xiao Wei had seen Zhiyuan and Mingzhi after they were born, and felt that this little guy was bigger than Zhiyuan and the others when they were born.
He looked at it and asked, Xiao Shun patted his head and said:
"You are stupid. My sister-in-law is pregnant with twins. This is one. The two are competing for nutrition."
It's past four in the afternoon, and Xiao Wei has to leave. If he rushes back, he probably won't get home until around nine o'clock.
Xiao Shun and his friends wanted to bring something back to Liang Xinyue, but Xiao Wei refused:
"Brother Xiao, Sister Min, I told you not to bring anything back. Actually, to be honest, although Lao Zhou is not at home now, everything else is really not bad. Although there are many people at home now, the logistics are still okay."
"I want you to live a good life, save some money, and buy a good house in the provincial capital. When you find a good house in the future, tell her that she also wants to buy a house in a good location."
"Okay, I'll help her find out."
Qiu Yue'e sent Xiao Wei downstairs, her eyes were red, Xiao Wei held her hand and said:
"You should also take care of yourself in the future. In winter, you must cover your mouth and nose with a scarf before riding a bike, otherwise it will be very cold. Wear gloves. It's getting cold now. When I get back, I will drive to build a canal. That's a big deal. I can't leave and can't come to see you for the time being."
Yue'e sobbed even more, feeling somewhat reluctant to let go.
After sending him to the car, Xiao Wei hugged him directly:
"Be good, study hard and I will take good care of you. When you finish your studies, I will do my job well and we will be together in the future."
The women over there looked at them with reluctance to leave, and were pointing and joking in low voices.
Only after Xiao Wei drove away did Qiu Yue'e return to Xiao Shun's home.
Xiao Shun said:
"Yu'e, come with me downstairs to move some things. I know there are several baffles downstairs. Then I plan to use boards to separate half of this room. In this way, you and Yaya can sleep in one half, and Xiaoer can sleep in the other half. There will be an isolated space."
"Then we can put all that clutter in the cubby."
The solutions were all thought up by people. They worked hard to dismantle the bunk beds that had been put in with great difficulty, take them out and put them back together again. Then they used the bunk beds as one space, placed one end of the bed against the wall, and blocked the back with a baffle.
The other side was closed with a curtain, so that Qiu Yue'e and Yaya could live in this room. The other side could accommodate Xiao Er. They could also study by the window, where there were two drawers and tables, which was enough for three people to study.
In this way, the small house over there can be used to store things, and the house suddenly becomes more orderly.
When Xiao Wei returned home, it was already around eight o'clock, almost nine o'clock. The children were all asleep. Fortunately, Aunt Li knew he was coming back and left some food for him. After he came back and ate, he went to study with Liang Xinyue.
The issue of repairing the canal has been put on the agenda, and there is a lot of preparatory work to be done here.
In the entire working group, Liang Xinyue was originally determined to be the first deputy team leader, who was mainly responsible for this matter. Now Director Ren has to take charge.
But there were some things that Liang Xinyue still had to go and see. So Liang Xinyue decided to go to work tomorrow.
The next morning, Liang Xinyue asked Xiaoxue to push her wheelchair to the Agricultural Bureau. Xiao Wei wanted to lift the wheelchair upstairs, but Liang Xinyue did not do so and walked up slowly.
There is no problem with her legs now, but she has difficulty sitting down and standing up. She still cannot lift her arms, and her left arm cannot be stretched straight. These problems are very difficult.
Seeing Liang Xinyue coming, Director Ren was also very happy and said hurriedly:
"We're very busy here right now, so you should take care of yourself and don't get hurt. Also, there's going to be a group meeting later. I'll call Lao Chen and the others and ask them to come over. You just wait here."
In order to make it convenient for Liang Xinyue, it would be even more inconvenient to go to the county party committee, so they decided to hold the meeting at the Agricultural Bureau.
