After traveling through time, she happily became the group's favorite

While everyone was happy, they also faced a dilemma: the bicycle tickets were available, but what about the payment? The tickets were shared by everyone, so how could they pay for them fairly?

So they started chatting about buying bicycles after going to the countryside.

Wang Zhiqing was the first to raise a concern: "After we go to the countryside, we don't know whether we will live with the older educated youth or on our own. Since our bicycles are our shared ticket, how should we pay for them to be fair?"

The eldest of the female educated youth also said, "Actually, two bicycles are enough for the eight of us going to the countryside. We don't need to buy more bicycles. It won't be conspicuous this way.

Our bicycle tickets were awarded by the higher authorities, so no one can say anything about us. With such inherent advantages, I think we can just share two bicycles."

At this time, Lin Sitian said something that seemed to make sense based on her understanding of future generations: "How long do you think the current social conditions and our situation of going to the countryside will last?

Are you all willing to stay in the countryside forever? I believe that dawn will eventually break through the darkness, so we will all leave the countryside one day, so I agree and will buy two bicycles.

After hearing this and considering her own conditions, Bai Wanting also agreed, "I also think that dawn will eventually break through the darkness. In that case, we will eventually leave the countryside.

Whoever ultimately owns the bike will pay the lion's share. The remaining funds will be contributed by each of us. The ticket is shared by everyone, so we can all use it together.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone started to think about it, and soon they all agreed that it should be so. Whoever decides on the final ownership of the bicycle will have to pay the largest share of the money!

Seeing that the most important issue of payment had been discussed, everyone began to discuss who would decide on the ownership, and suggested that whoever wanted the final ownership of the bicycle should speak up!

The male educated youth discussed with other male educated youth, and the female educated youth discussed with other female educated youth.

As for the female educated youth, Lin Sitian thought that since she still had three years left before taking the college entrance examination, she might as well buy a new bicycle in the city where she was going to go to college. She would have a useful bicycle when she went to the countryside anyway, and it didn't matter who owned the bicycle in the end. So she was the first to say that she didn't want ownership!

Yun Ya also weighed the pros and cons in her heart, and felt that the right to use was enough, and the ownership was not important, so she gave up the ownership.

Bai Wanting said without thinking, "I just want to use it."

In the end, the right to use the woman’s bicycle belongs to everyone, and the ownership finally belongs to Xia Zhiyan!

Xia Zhiyan didn't blindly want it because everyone else had given up, but she really felt it necessary to have it in her hands. After all, a bicycle costs more than 100 yuan now, and if it is divided among four people, I will only pay the largest share. I can pay a small amount, and in the end I can still get a bicycle, isn't that great!

After the female educated youth finished discussing it, the male educated youth also reached an agreement. As expected, Zhao Wenhua paid the most in the end. After all, from their interactions after getting on the train, it could be seen that he spoke a bit carelessly, and in the details, he gave off the air of a landlord's stupid son!

After deciding who would pay the most, everyone started calculating how much they should contribute.

Wang Wenxiang explained: "The current market price of a bicycle with a ticket is 125 yuan for men and 115 yuan for women.

We received a reward of 50 yuan each for male and female educated youth, which came to 12.5 yuan per person. We then directly used 12.5 yuan of this 10 yuan to buy a bicycle.

We male educated youth need to pay another 85 yuan. If 85 yuan is divided into 4 equal parts, each part will be 21.25 yuan, but one of them has to pay the lion's share.

Then the remaining three of us will each pay 3 yuan, and the person who pays the most will pay the remaining yuan, and that person will have to pay 15 yuan each for the other three people.

After all, the bike will belong to him alone from now on, so the big-headed guy will have to pay 40 yuan in total! What do you think of this?"

The other three male educated youth thought about it and realized that even if they added the 12.5 yuan reward, they would only have 12.5 yuan more, and a total of 25 yuan. 25 yuan would be enough to own a bicycle in the countryside, which was not a loss at all!

Not to mention Zhao Wenhua, he was so happy that he couldn't contain himself. The bicycle cost more than 100 yuan, and he only spent 12.5 yuan including the 52.5 yuan reward.

I'll need a bicycle in the countryside anyway, and I can get a whole bicycle for only half the price. What a good deal!

The female educated youth listened to the discussion of the male educated youth from beginning to end and felt that it was very reasonable, so Xia Zhiyan also analyzed:

"Our women's bicycle costs 115 yuan, and after deducting the 50 yuan reward, we still have 65 yuan left.

那么65元平摊到我们4人身上就一人还有16.25元，我们也效仿男知青那样，其余3人各出10元，另一个花大头的加上自己要出的16.25元就一共花35元！”

(I'm not good at math, so please forgive me if my calculations are wrong!!!)

In this way, the two bonus bicycle tickets and the cost of the bicycles have been agreed upon.

So Lin Sitian began to talk about it intentionally or unintentionally, wondering whether she could still get along well with the old educated youth at the educated youth center like she does now, and she was still a little scared.

Looking at this cute little girl, the others couldn't help but wonder what would happen if she was really bullied? After all, they learned that she was the youngest of the eight people, only 16 years old!

Hearing the youngest sister's concerns, everyone responded that they would take care of her and protect her in many ways. The dignified eldest sister Xia Zhiqing even said frankly:

"If we really can't get along with them, or if there's a lot of friction in our interactions, then I'd rather move out.

Because there are more disputes where there are more people. Even if we get along well at the beginning, after a long time, due to the different quality of life, there will be various conflicts and frictions. It would be better for us to move out and live alone.

Our quality of life is pretty much the same anyway, and after spending some time together, the eight of us are pretty harmonious."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhiqing, who exuded the feeling of "I may be rich but I'm not stupid", spoke even more harshly:

"Do you think we'll bring lots of bags with us when we go there, and next year people will know we have a good family background, and then we'll buy two bicycles right after we go to the countryside, won't that arouse jealousy?

Even if we bought it together, 20 yuan is a considerable amount of money in the countryside. It is hard not to think that those who come from poor families and have stayed in the countryside for two or three years will have some bad feelings.

Coupled with the diversity of species and personalities, we cannot guarantee that we will get along as harmoniously with everyone we meet as we do today.

Think about it, if some of them ask to borrow our bicycles out of jealousy, will we lend them to them or not?

If we don't lend it to him, they will definitely say that we are both sent-down youth and don't help each other. But what if we lend it to him and he doesn't take good care of our bicycles?

Everyone started to think in a negative direction and their thoughts diverged. Suddenly, I realized how scary it was to think about it! ??????????

Even the usually quiet Yun Ya spoke up: "Before I went to the countryside, my parents told me there would be people who take advantage of others and are petty. I really don't like getting along with such people. I'm also very scared."

After discussing these issues for quite a while, Guan Huijun, who was usually the calmest and most composed, said:

“Actually, I don’t really like being around a lot of people. It’s too noisy, and there are always all kinds of small conflicts!

If we go to the countryside and see how big the educated youth settlement is, and if there are too many people and the houses are small, we can directly ask the team leader if we can rent a house outside!"

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

…………

Just like that, Lin Sitian successfully managed to convince someone to rent a house with her, as she had hoped. Otherwise, renting a house by herself would be awkward and unsafe. If she were to live with so many people, all these problems would be solved.
