Chapter 13: Utility Bicycles

Soon the family of five sat down, Huang Daozhou was in a hurry, and asked Huang Xin to bring a language book and find a text that was not too long and pointed out:

"Do you recognize all the words on it?"

Huang Han took it and looked at it, and affirmed: "I know everything, I can read and write, and it's no problem to write silently." ”

Huang Daozhou suddenly became excited, and emphasized: "You don't have to brag!"

Huang Han said calmly: "Real gold is not afraid of fire, I will read it two or three times, sister, you go and get a pen and paper, and I will write out this text silently in five or six minutes." ”

Huang Han had already read this text once, and he actually remembered a lot of content in his mind, and then read it twice attentively, tried to recite it in his heart, and then handed the book to Huang Daozhou, and wrote it in his notebook.

Huang Daozhou's eyes widened, and when he looked at it, his eyes lit up, and suddenly exploded, "Haha" and laughed: "Huang Han has finally opened his mind, my family is about to develop." ”

Usually, Huang Daozhou is only willing to drink eight-yuan liquor, which is still the lowest-grade sweet potato dry wine sold by the sugar tobacco and liquor company, and it is supplied openly without a plan.

Drinkers in Sanshui County jokingly call this spirit "dizzy song".

It means that after drinking this wine, it is easy to get on the head, the world is spinning, and the next day I still have a pain in my head and faintness.

Zodiac Zhou was so happy that he let go and drank two glasses.

The wine was too strong, Huang Daozhou's face was red, it was obvious that he was stimulated by the wine, and he naturally talked a lot, and he told the whole family about a happy thing.

There is a deputy director of the factory who has been transferred, so the official bicycle that has always belonged to the factory director is vacant, that is, the one that Huang Daozhou rode home today.

Not everyone is eligible to enjoy public bicycles, depending on the position, family situation, length of service, and distance from the unit.

After all the calculations, Huang Daozhou thought that he should be the first backup candidate, so he was complacent.

Owning a bicycle is a big deal for the family, and Huang Han certainly remembers.

But it was by no means this year, but the year I graduated from elementary school and went to junior high school, and later the public bicycle was taken back after Huang Daozhou's illness retired.

He looked at his father with a red face, and felt a little sad in his heart, wondering if Huang Daozhou would be angry if he would be angry when he fell directly into the air full of hope.

In fact, allocating an old bicycle to the public is a big deal for a small state-owned factory with seventy or eighty people, and the factory director will do it with a word.

The question is, why does the factory manager speak for you?

Put this matter on Huang Han, there are too many ways to deal with the factory director, but at this time, Huang Daozhou thinks that he should have this bicycle for granted.

In the end, it is unknown who rode the car, but Huang Han believes that the family really needs a bicycle and should try to fight for it.

He said, "Dad, do you know the home of the number one factory director?"

"Are you talking about Director Zhu? His house is just west of the briquette supply point on South Street, I know him!"

"Have you been to his house?"

"No, why should I go to his house?"

"Report work, visit the door, even if you help others carry a few buckets of water, if you are more polite, catch a larger crucian carp, and send two over. ”

"Why should I do this, and give away fish? You don't have a mouthful? You don't eat too little, and you give it away?"

"Alas, you! I don't know how many times a year you can eat more fish with the factory director, why don't you even know how to invest emotionally?"

Huang Daozhou was unhappy and said: "I do things seriously and be an upright person, why do I have a hot face and a cold butt against others?"

Huang Han was convinced, gave a thumbs up, and said in his heart: I see, no wonder you have been just an ordinary worker all your life.

He decided not to talk about this topic anymore, and said: "Forget it, forget it, I'm just nonsense, Dad, don't get angry, in case the bicycle can't get your turn, don't take it to heart, okay?"

Zhou Zhi, who had a sense of wine, said: "How is this possible, more than a dozen people in the factory have buses, and half of them are not as old as me, so it should have been my turn a long time ago." ”

Alas, I know that you are old, it is because the briquette factory is dirty and tired, and the slightest wind is the fluctuation of coal dust.

But where there are some relationships with the formal workers who fly after two or three years, the rest is basically no branches, you have worked in this broken factory for more than 20 years, and you can't do it if you want to be qualified!

Huang Han hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Dad, I want all-round development of morality, intellect and body, and I am ready to get up at six o'clock every day to run, I strongly recommend that my sister run with me, let's not go far, just run in the stadium." ”

At this time, the Shanshui County Stadium is very close to the city center, and in the north of the Shanshui County Experimental Primary School, most of the physical education classes of the experimental primary school are lined up to walk to the stadium for classes.

Later, hehe! Everyone understands that the land is expensive.

At Huang Han's current speed, it took about seven or eight minutes to trot all the way from home to the stadium.

Huang Han not only wanted to enhance his physique, but also wanted to grow a few centimeters taller than later generations, and also wanted his sister to grow taller in good health, so he asked to exercise together.

The son is only eleven years old, and he is more or less uneasy to go out early in the morning, and it would be better if he had thirteen-year-old Huang Xin go with him.

He asked Huang Xin, "You don't get up in the morning to run without affecting your studies, right?"

"It doesn't matter, I can run without delay while endorsing, but I'm afraid that Huang Han will be hot for three minutes, and he will be lazy if he can't run for a few days. ”

Huang Xin participated in several track and field competitions in primary school, and won the second place in the 400-meter run for girls in her grade.

Huang Han continued to emphasize the fact that he had opened his mind, and he should talk about it often, repeatedly, and let his parents listen to it, so that when they have amazing moves in the future, they will naturally reflexively make up for it.

He said: "Sister, I have opened my mind, and I want to be able to think like an adult, and perseverance and perseverance must be fine." ”

"Of course I want you to be like this every day, but I'm afraid you'll be revealed when you wake up tomorrow morning. ”

Suddenly, Huang Han was touched, and he was silent, thinking in his heart, yes, will he fall asleep in one fell asleep, and when he wakes up, he will be his future self.

Seeing that Huang Han stopped talking, Huang Xin thought that it was her own distrust that caused Huang Han to be unhappy, and hurriedly said: "I believe in you, go to bed early tonight, and we will work together tomorrow." ”

Huang Han smiled, didn't speak, but looked at his parents carefully, and suddenly felt that his nose was a little sour, he didn't want to leave this home that needed help the most, and he was afraid of losing this opportunity to make up for his regrets.

After dinner, Huang Han's mood was depressed, he had already vowed to protect his eyes and did not want to read in the dim light.

During this period, the nights were lifeless, there were only a few street lights on the main roads, there were only one in the alleys, the brightness was limited, there were too many black rumbling places, and there was almost no entertainment other than watching movies.

During this time, the security of the whole country was not good, Sanshui County and even Nansu Province should be fine, and other provinces were even more chaotic.

One of the reasons is that we have just experienced that decade of common anger, the second reason is that there are too many young intellectuals who have returned to the city, and the third reason is that the country is too poor and there are too few job opportunities to properly settle the educated youths who have been deceived, suffered hardships, and repaired the earth for several years.

The strong young men had nothing to do, and they wandered around in groups of three or five, fighting, stealing, and playing hooligans from time to time.

Under normal circumstances, serious people do not want their children to go out at night without adults.

At this time, Huang Han suffered from night blindness due to lack of meat malnutrition, and went to bed early.

It may be that he was tired for a day, and Huang Han, who always tosses and turns when he doesn't sleep well in later lives, actually didn't have insomnia, and he fell into a deep sleep after a while, and he didn't even know when Huang Xin slept.
