The all-round housekeeper is a stick

Chapter 76: Legs Are So Short

Because the car was finished, Lin Mumu was so excited that he couldn't sleep.

After dinner, she cleaned the room, took a shower, and hung out her clothes to dry. Lin Mumu didn't care if the scorching sun above her head would tan her anymore, so she tried riding in the yard.

Her legs were a bit short, so it was difficult to pedal from the seat. Especially when she was sitting, it looked like a child trying to ride an adult's bike, but she wasn't even as tall as the bike. And she could barely reach a pedal, even after she'd tied two pieces of wood to the pedals to widen and lengthen them.

But there was nothing she could do; she couldn't find any wheels smaller than this one. Fortunately, she wasn't going to keep this bike just for herself. Lin Mumu didn't have any desire to keep a memento of her first success.

Lin Mumu stood on one foot and struggled with the other foot on the pedal closest to him. After struggling for a long time, he finally got the bike moving. After barely getting the bike to move forward normally, Lin Mumu was no longer satisfied with just testing the bike in the yard.

After locking the door, Lin Mumu pushed the cart out of the yard.

After locking the gate, Lin Mumu pedaled his bike hard outside the yard, circling the alley. Fortunately, it was still hot after 2 o'clock, and there were not many people outside.

Yi Changshan had just left home, preparing to go back to his parents' house to visit and pick up his wife and two children. He was a little surprised to see Lin Mumu riding his bike with great difficulty in the alley.

"Where did you get this car?"

"I modified it myself." Lin Mumu didn't say it was his own work. Aside from the new-looking carriage, everything else was recycled. Yi Changshan thought Lin Mumu might have found something someone else had discarded and modified it himself.

However, even if it is modified, it is still very impressive. Remember, Lin Mumu is still a child. Even if an adult picked up a broken car, he could not make a car like this.

As for doubts about whether Lin Mumu had modified it? That was unnecessary. Everybody on the street had heard of Lin Mumu picking up wheels and planks. And if he asked her how she had modified it, she could give a rough idea.

He sounds like a very logical and capable kid.

Moreover, the back bed of this car looks very suitable for children to sit in. Two or three children can fit in with a little squeeze.

"Can I borrow your bike for a ride?" Yi Changshan, a few years younger than Lin Jianhua, was in his early 30s, so he called himself "uncle." He was thinking about buying a bike.

Their family only had one bicycle, and he had been thinking of buying another one sometime. Unfortunately, the policy has been relaxed, and small businesses have increased. However, bicycles sold outside are about 100 to 150 yuan more expensive than those sold at the supply and marketing cooperative or department store.

Bicycles in the Second Department Store still require a ticket. My family has never been able to save up for a bicycle ticket, and they can't bear the 100-yuan price difference, so they have never bought one.

Lin Mumu didn't care whether she rode alone or with someone else. Furthermore, given her current situation, it was more appropriate for someone else to ride than for her short legs.

I pressed the brakes to stop, even though I wasn't going fast to begin with.

Lin Mumu had some impression of Yi Changshan; after all, she had met him on her first day in the city. After teaching Yi Changshan how to ride, and untying the two wooden boards tied to the pedals, Lin Mumu sat in the back of the truck.

Standing by the roadside waiting?

Lin Mumu said: "This is just one or two more encounters than a stranger. There is a little trust, but it's only a small bit. She just bought the car, and can sell it, but she can't lose it."

Yi Changshan had no objection to Lin Mumu sitting in the back. He sat on the seat and started pedaling.

Well, it was a little hard at first, but it got easier as you got used to it.

He also understood why Lin Mumu used such a funny action, struggling to pedal with one leg.

If your legs are shorter, riding will be difficult.

What's more, Lin Mumu's legs are so short.

Lin Mumu didn't know that Yi Changshan was secretly saying that her legs were too short. After seeing Yi Changshan riding the bike smoothly for two laps, Lin Mumu asked him directly if he wanted the bike.

"Uncle, this bike is of excellent quality. You won't be disappointed if you buy it. The back of the bike can hold things and children. If you're worried about the heat, you can nail sticks to the four corners and tie a piece of waterproof cloth on them. You can also nail another one diagonally to the front to block the riders in front, providing shade and protection from the sun and rain."

As Lin Mumu spoke, she demonstrated to Yi Changshan how to make the car cloak, which made Yi Changshan very excited.

"How much do you want to sell your car to me?" Yi Changshan asked tentatively.

"The lowest price is 100 yuan, and you can give 70 yuan in cash. The rest can be paid in the form of wheels or wooden boards." Lin Mumu also stated the approximate quantity needed.

Seeing Yi Changshan didn't say anything, Lin Mumu didn't rush: "Uncle, I think it would be troublesome to bargain with you if I bid 150 yuan, so I decided on this price that doesn't make me lose money. But this is not my ideal price."

When Lin Mumu talked about this, she did not show the innocence of a child. If you ignore her height, it would be difficult for people talking to her to mistake her for a child.

"You can consider it. But I'll ride it down the street later. If someone wants to buy it, I'll sell it directly. After all, this bike is much more convenient than a bicycle. It can carry both people and things."
