Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

The mother and son had not walked far when the man stopped coughing. He gasped for breath and waved his hands, refusing to walk any further. "It's okay, Mom. I just got hit in the chest, so it hurts a lot. Mom, I'll just go home and rest for a while."

"No, let's go check. Who knows if that dead woman beat you up? We have to go to the hospital and then come and settle the score with her after the check." The woman held her son's arm and refused to let go.

The man was still in shock. He pulled his mother with a sad face, "Mom, you think your son's beating is not enough, right? You just saw the way Jiang Yu kicked me, and think about how she works. If she hits me with all her strength, mom, you can treat the whole village to a feast tomorrow! I shouldn't have listened to you. What do you mean Jiang Yu can work and support me... Does she look like she can support me? She wants to kill me!"

"Wow, son, are we just going to let this go?" The woman was unwilling. Her precious son was beaten by Jiang Yu just because he stopped her on the road and asked a question. Are we just going to let this go?

The man walked home dejectedly, "What else? Mom, can you beat her or can I? Together we are delivering food! Stop it, let me go home and lie down for a while, my chest..."

Jiang Yu quickly put this episode behind her and continued to tinker with her bicycle after returning to the educated youth point.

She pushed the bicycle, which had already taken shape, out of the room and parked it in the patio. She began to check for missing small parts, recording them one by one, waiting to go to the recycling station tomorrow to pick up any missing parts.

Xue Li saw the bicycle he hadn't seen for a few days, and came over to circle around it, "Jiang Yu, is your bicycle almost finished?"

"There's still something missing. If I find it tomorrow, it should be usable after I install it." Jiang Yu squeezed the brake and it worked quite well.

Xue Li touched the leather seat and the rattan basket in front, and the more he looked at it, the more excited he became. "Jiang Yu, when the car is finished, will you sell it?"

Jiang Yu nodded, "To sell, I can make one, and I can continue making it after I find the materials." But after she makes it, she has to keep one so that she can sell the bicycle ticket for money. She is just an ordinary little genius at saving money.

By the way, there are two bicycles in the space. They can be used after being renovated, but the steel stamp on them needs to be removed.

"I want to buy it!" Xue Li's eyes lit up, "Sell it to me~ Jiang Yu, name a price!"

When Jiang Yu heard the price, he was a little confused. How should the price be determined? The bicycles in the supply and marketing cooperative were in short supply. The normal price was 150 yuan, and you had to add a rare bicycle ticket to buy it.

So how should she price her car? What's a suitable price?

The male educated youth were sitting together in the patio, and when they saw what was happening, they joined in. After all, if Jiang Yu had extra bicycles, they would also like to buy one.

It’s not difficult to get a bicycle ticket these days. If the three male educated youths from well-off families asked their families, they would definitely be able to get one. But there are obviously bicycles that don’t require tickets, so why should they ask their families?

Especially Xiong Lijin, his relationship with his family is more complicated. His stepmother controls most of the family's money. If he wants a bicycle ticket, he will probably have to ask his stepmother, but his stepmother is sweet-mouthed but has a black heart, and he doesn't want to bow his head.

"Well, the bicycle is sold for 130 yuan and comes with 2 years of free maintenance." Jiang Yu listened to their discussion for a long time and finally made his own decision!

This price is cheaper than buying it at the supply and marketing cooperative, mainly because her cost is very low. What is rare is her craftsmanship. Also, because it is a pieced-together bicycle, it should not be too much for her to provide after-sales service for two years after selling it.

"Okay!" Xue Li made the decision, "I'll book this car!" After saying that, she went to the room to get the money.

Jiang Yu quickly stopped her and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? My car is not ready yet!"

Xue Li chuckled, "I'm just really impatient~" This is a bicycle!

Having a bicycle in this era is as awesome as buying a luxury car in later generations! When the bicycle can be ridden, I must ride it out in the village to show off and advertise for Jiang Yu!

Chen Jinghan looked at Xue Li's cute appearance, her heart softened, and she couldn't help but smile.

The good brothers around him looked at him and felt that he was worthless and couldn't bear to watch him.

After checking the bicycle, Jiang Yu pushed it back into the house, came out holding a candle, and prepared to wash up.

"Do you have a way to get glass bottles? I can modify them and make a few lamps." Jiang Yu asked when he saw that the candle flame was weak due to the wind.

Chen Jinghan nodded, "Sure, what kind do you want?" This kind of thing can be bought by asking someone at the glass factory in town and giving a pack of cigarettes or something.

"It doesn't matter, but it would be better if the belly was bigger and the bottle wall was thicker." The current materials can only be used to make tungsten filament lamps, which will get hot after long-term use.

"Okay, I'll give it to you when I find it." Chen Jinghan agreed.

Jiang Yu went into the bathroom, took out a thick plastic board from the space, placed it near the water outlet, and started taking a shower.

This water outlet was dug by Jiang Yu and is connected to the drainage ditch outside. A private wire mesh is placed inside to prevent rats from crawling in, making bathing much more convenient.

Originally, Xue Li wanted to get some pebbles to pave the road, but considering that she would have to share them with the old educated youth in front, she was too lazy to waste the time.

After taking a shower, Jiang Yu returned to the room with a towel wrapped on her head, and Xue Li walked into the bathroom carrying a wooden basin.

Putting the candle on the kang cabinet, Jiang Yu took out the clothes she would wear tomorrow from another cabinet and stuffed the packing list into one of the pockets. After packing, she sat on the bed and combed her hair.

Because she had been eating too much during this period, and with the effect of the residual medicine, her hair was getting darker and thicker. There were too many broken hairs, and if her hair was not tied up, it would look like a long-haired cat with its fur standing on end. Jiang Yu planned to find a barber to cut her hair short tomorrow.

How short? As long as it doesn't burst, it's fine! The bottom line is a bayberry head.

After going over tomorrow's arrangements in her mind and drying her hair, Jiang Yu made her bed, patted the pillow stuffed with dried chrysanthemum leaves, lay down, covered her belly with a corner of the quilt, and went to sleep!

The next day, Jiang Yu cooked some wheat kernel porridge in the room, and ate it with boiled eggs and pickles to fill his stomach. Then he picked up the oversized backpack that was tailor-made for him, closed the door and left the educated youth compound.

Zhuang Shouren and Uncle Niu were sitting on the driver's seat of the ox cart, both holding their pipes and chatting casually. When they saw Jiang Yu coming, they put away their pipes and greeted him with a smile.

"Jiang Yu, the educated youth, get on the bus quickly." Zhuang Shouren held Uncle Niu's small whip in his hand. It seemed that he was responsible for driving the bus today.

Jiang Yu let out a cry, supported himself and climbed onto the truck bed, then sat in the middle to help balance the weight.

"I heard that you beat Liu Dahan down when you went back yesterday?" Uncle Zhuang drove the ox cart away, and when the cart was stable, he turned back and asked her with a smile.

Jiang Yu blinked and asked innocently, "Who is Liu Dahan?" I only hit the right people, who cares who he is~
