After traveling through the book, I realized my wish in my previous life
Chapter 55 Bicycle
The 29th day of the twelfth lunar month was a rare sunny day. After getting up in the morning and having breakfast, Shen Xiaoxia planned to clean the whole house.
Move all items placed on surfaces in the room, such as quilts, tables, chairs, etc., to the yard.
The remaining scattered things were also put into the cupboard, and he put on his straw hat, made a straw duster, and swept the walls around him.
I tore off the newspapers that were stuck along the kang and replaced them with new ones.
I used the warm water from the space to wipe the kang, cabinets, tables and chairs twice.
After the room is tidied, move the things back one by one and put them in order.
After opening both the front and back doors to allow the room to ventilate, Shen Xiaoxia went to wash everything in the kitchen again!
After tidying up everything, everything is ready and we are just waiting for the New Year!
After lunch, the sun was shining brightly!
Shen Xiaoxia, Han Zhuxin and Zhao Lingling sat in the yard basking in the sun and chatting.
Suddenly, they heard a lot of noise coming from the front yard. Shen Xiaoxia and the other two thought something had happened there, so they stood up and planned to go over to take a look.
Before I had taken a few steps, I saw He Tingyuan pushing a brand new bicycle in.
Xie Yunheng followed behind, holding two cloth bags in his hands, and no one knew what was in them!
In the morning, He Tingyuan and Xie Yunheng said they had to go out for something, and now they actually came back pushing a bicycle.
The three of them were stunned when they saw the bicycle! They finally understood why there was such a commotion in the front yard!
Owning a bicycle at that time was no less expensive than owning a luxury car in modern times.
Shen Xiaoxia was the quickest to react. "Wow! Where did you get this bike? Is it new?"
He Tingyuan was probably in a really good mood at the moment, with a smile on his face. When he heard Shen Xiaoxia's question, he looked at her and nodded, "Yes, I bought it today!"
He felt that it was too troublesome to take a ox cart to the county town every time, and it took too much time to walk there.
He has no shortage of money or tickets.
When I first came here, I didn’t want to be too high-profile, so I didn’t buy anything.
Later when I wanted to buy it, it was out of stock. This time I had to ask someone for help to buy it.
There was an uncle in the county town who had some contact with his family. When his family knew that he had come to the countryside, they specifically asked him to take care of him and told him to ask him for help if he had any problems.
Every time he went to the county town, he would visit the other party's home. Over the past six months, he had a pretty good relationship with his family.
This time, he was able to buy this bicycle thanks to the help of his youngest son.
The others also realized it at this time. Although it was not theirs, they still felt very surprised!
Han Zhuxin walked forward with envy, wanting to reach out and touch it. She would go to the county town from time to time, and she also wanted to buy one!
But she didn't have a bicycle ticket, and she couldn't buy a bicycle just because she wanted to. Most of the time, they were out of stock.
Shen Xiaoxia was also envious when she looked at the bicycle. She had a bicycle, but she couldn't use it openly!
She had money and a bicycle ticket, but she couldn't find the right time to buy them. As a girl, she would be too conspicuous!
However, He Tingyuan already has a bicycle. If she gets another one after a while, wouldn’t it be less eye-catching?
Moreover, Shen Xiaoxia concluded that Han Zhuxin must also want to buy it, but she didn't know what her plan was.
Several people were curious and kept circling around He Tingyuan and the bicycle, and He Tingyuan almost felt dizzy.
He parked the bike on the side, stepped back, and said with a bit of amusement, "Okay, stop turning it. The bike won't move. I'll just leave it here. You guys can take your time to look at it. You can try it if you want!"
Shen Xiaoxia can ride a bicycle, but she only rides the lightweight type for women. She has never tried this kind of 28-inch bicycle.
If she falls, it will be embarrassing at best, but it will be bad if she breaks the bike too. It’s better for her not to try it!
Han Zhuxin looked at the bicycle with an eager look on her face. She knew how to ride a bicycle and was brave enough, so she thought she should be able to ride it steadily.
However, she was not so bold as to be the first to speak out in front of so many people. Shen Xiaoxia looked at Han Zhuxin's expression, not knowing what she was thinking. She was afraid that she would do something stupid, so she walked over, took her arm and winked at her.
If you really want to try it, try it when there is no one around!
Forget about trying. Even if you ask for it, it's not impossible. So don't join in the fun now!
Moreover, Shen Xiaoxia saw the way Su Xiuxiu stared at Han Zhuxin from time to time, and she felt that it was better to have less trouble than more.
Zhao Fan used to have a bicycle at home, and he rode it often. Bicycles were not that attractive to him, and with so many people around, he didn't want to join in the fun.
Zhao Lingling actually wanted to try it, but she and He Tingyuan were not that familiar with each other, so she was embarrassed to speak up.
She was embarrassed, but someone spoke up. Jiang Zhiming wanted to speak when he saw He Tingyuan pushing the cart in.
It was just because of the conflict between He Tingyuan and the front yard last time that he was embarrassed to speak.
Now that He Tingyuan took the initiative to bring it up, he really wanted to ride it, so he said he wanted to give it a try.
He Tingyuan was in a good mood today and had already spoken out. When he heard him say that he wanted to give it a try, he nodded in agreement.
Jiang Zhiming walked forward excitedly and touched the bicycle. He was quite tall, so when he rode the bicycle, his two feet had enough space on the ground. Even if he couldn't ride it for a while, he wouldn't drop the bicycle.
The yard was big, so he tried it in the yard. He didn't ride it for long, just rode around the yard. Although he rode crookedly, at least he was safe!
After parking the car in its original place, Jiang Zhiming thanked He Tingyuan with a smile on his face, "He Zhiqing, thank you!"
Seeing that He Tingyuan was really willing to let people test ride it, the other two also said they wanted to try it, and He Tingyuan agreed!
Seeing He Tingyuan being so easy to talk to today, Sun Lichun's eyes flashed, and he asked him with a smile, "He Zhiqing, we all live in the same yard, and you are the only one who has a bicycle.
If I have an emergency in the future, can I borrow your bike?
It won't be in vain, we'll send you something when the time comes."
Let’s not talk about what the people in the backyard thought for now, but at least the others were very excited when they heard this.
It’s said to be sending things, sending vegetables is also sending, sending cloth and sending money are also sending, this is a matter of opinion!
They can't afford to buy a bicycle, so if they can really borrow one, it would be a good thing for them!
And when it comes to borrowing a car, there will be a third time!
He Tingyuan heard what he said, glanced at him, and curled his lips, "It's no problem if you want to borrow it!"
Before anyone could be happy, he continued, “For now, I don’t lack anything.
How about this, if you guys need to borrow money urgently, and I can't refuse, how about I charge one dollar per loan?"
One dollar is not a lot, but it is not a small amount for ordinary people. At least those who are not in a hurry will think twice before borrowing it!
Sun Lichun thought that since he proposed it in front of so many people, He Tingyuan would not refuse even if he was concerned about his reputation, and he would definitely suffer a loss.
Unexpectedly, although he didn't refuse, he actually asked for a fee, and one dollar per time?
It seems that all those rich kids are just putting on airs!
He looked at the people standing around him and said with embarrassment, "Do you charge money? And isn't one dollar a time too expensive?
Although one dollar may not mean much to you, some people only have a few dollars in their entire fortune. It's not easy for everyone. They don't use it on a regular basis, but just want to borrow it when they have an emergency!"
If he hadn't said it, no one would have thought anything of it. But after he said it, other people started to complain!
Yes, I don’t ride it every day, I just want to borrow it when there is an emergency.
Besides, He Tingyuan is not someone who is short of this little money, but for many of them, it will take a long time to save up that little money!
In fact, if anyone really has an urgent matter in the future and tells him, He Tingyuan will not really refuse to lend the money. He is not the kind of person who really cares about that dollar!
But after what happened today, if someone has an emergency in the future and doesn’t lend the money, it will be his fault!
If everyone comes to borrow money under the pretext of urgent matters, will he agree to all of them or refuse them all?
Shen Xiaoxia looked at He Tingyuan's gloomy face, then looked at the expressions of the people around him, and suddenly said, "He Zhiqing, you are so mean! Didn't you say that if we want to borrow it in the future, we will be charged five yuan each time? Why did it become one yuan again?"
Han Zhuxin saw Shen Xiaoxia speak and immediately realized, "Yeah! Why are you still watching others stack the dishes?
Didn't you say that you spent almost all your money on this bike? And you said that if we borrowed it, we could just make some money back?
When the others heard what they said, their eyes widened. They were originally going to charge five dollars?
I spent all my money on it! Now they only charge one dollar?
And I just let several people try riding it. Maybe because they were in a good mood, they all rode together!
He Tingyuan heard them say that and realized they were trying to help him. He said, "I originally thought that since it was New Year's Day and I was in a good mood, even though I didn't have much money, I could still get by. Since we all lived in the same yard, I thought I'd help out if I could."
He glanced at the people standing around him as he spoke. Although he had a smile on his face, there was no smile in his eyes. "If you want to borrow it in the future, you can still do so. It's just that how much I charge depends on my mood at the time!"
He was too lazy to talk any more, so he went into his room and pushed his bicycle inside.
Sun Lichun didn't get what he wanted, but instead felt a little embarrassed. He turned around and left with a grim face. Seeing this, the other people in the front yard also left with a wry smile!
Shen Xiaoxia and Han Zhuxin looked at each other. Their original idea of buying a bicycle was now greatly reduced. It would be better to keep a low profile!
