Tide Chapter 29 Bicycles
After returning to the dormitory and putting away his things, when Yang Limin walked to the factory gate, Ma Ying had already pushed a bicycle and walked over.
A snakeskin bag was tied to the back seat of the bicycle with a rope, and Yang Limin knew that it must be his father's rubber shoes.
"Ma Ying, I've been waiting for you for almost ten minutes, why are you here now?"
Before Ma Ying approached, Yang Limin greeted Ma Ying with a smile on his face.
Originally, Ma Ying didn't agree with him to set up a stall, but Yang Limin was cheeky and wanted to follow, not that he meant anything to Ma Ying, but the most important thing was to investigate the real situation of the township market.
Of course, even if Ma Ying doesn't take him there, Yang Limin himself will go, but it is unknown how many detours he will take.
"Oh, Section Chief Yang, didn't I say I'll just go by myself?" Ma Ying's face was flushed, and her steps pushing the bicycle were like turtles crawling.
She is the same age as a flower, and she has no person to talk to, if a big boy suddenly says that he wants to help him set up a stall, if he doesn't mean anything to her, she doesn't believe it.
For example, when she goes to work on weekdays, there will always be a lot of young workers who go around the bend to find him to do things, saying that it is for work, but the main purpose is not to talk to her more?
It is true that Yang Limin is a young leader, but who stipulates that leaders cannot talk to anyone?
Moreover, Ma Ying also thinks that she is not bad, and because of Hu Yongjun's problem, the two also talked about it, and the most important thing is that she really planned for Yang Limin at that time, so it is natural for this Yang section chief to have a good impression of him.
Therefore, in Ma Ying's opinion, the reason why Yang Limin is willing to abandon the face of the leader and go to the town to set up a stall by himself is naturally because he has a good heart for himself, and even a little happy.
It was a kind of comfort that seemed to come from the bottom of her heart, which made her come to Yang Limin step by step.
"Hehe, isn't this here to repay you for a meal?" Yang Limin smiled, looked at the bicycle pushed by Ma Ying and smiled: "Not bad, what about the Phoenix brand bicycle!"
"Hmph, who knows if you want to go to the town to see and let me lead the way!" Ma Ying saw Yang Limin's dead face following, thinking that it seemed that she could only go to the market together, she pursed her lips and said, "The bicycle was bought by my father during the Chinese New Year, how is it good?"
In the late '70s and early '80s, having a bike at home was something to brag about.
It is said that food, clothing, shelter and transportation, clothes and food naturally do not need to be said, and most people rely on two legs to walk.
The advent of bicycles has undoubtedly made people's travel convenient, but the price of more than 100 yuan has blocked the vast majority of people.
You know, take Aimin Factory as an example, the salary of a level 3 technician is only more than 40 yuan, and it takes nearly four or five months to buy a bicycle without eating or drinking.
In other words, it would take a full year to buy a bicycle after deducting household expenses.
For this kind of tripod vintage bicycle in Damaza, Yang Limin has still seen it.
In his memory, he used to ride it when he was in elementary school, but it seems that after junior high school, this stupid and bulky bicycle gradually disappeared, except for leaving a little impression in his mind, but more of a memory of childhood.
To be honest, although Yang Limin has ridden this old-fashioned three-eight-bar bicycle, after so many years, even if there are still some memories of that time, this riding technique will inevitably be discounted.
But he was a man after all, so he naturally refused to sit in the back seat and let Ma Ying hitch with him, so he smiled at Ma Ying: "Ma Ying, why don't I ride a ride to you?" Although he said this, his heart was still a little up and down, but fortunately, his face was thick enough, even if he was weak-hearted, Ma Ying couldn't see it.
"Okay then!" Ma Ying had no choice but to nod, stopped the car and untied the snakeskin pocket in the back seat, and then motioned for Yang Limin to ride.
Now Yang Limin is a little difficult.
Looking at Ma Ying's appearance, it is obvious that she is going to get on a dead car, which is the most test of the cyclist's skills.
Anyone who has ever ridden a bicycle knows that there are generally two types of bicycles. One is the so-called live car, and the other is a dead car.
The live bicycle is the bicycle jumping up in the rider's driving, this method because the bicycle is already in the driving stage, suddenly receiving heavy objects, although there will be some difficult control at the beginning, but if the cyclist has a good grasp of the halter is the simplest.
And a dead car is different.
The reason why a dead car is called a dead car is that the person sitting in the car sits in the back seat first, and then the rider starts driving. Without preparation and without driving assistance, it was very difficult to start just because of the bike, not to mention the tilt of the center of gravity caused by the weight of the bike when it was first started.
Yang Limin had already lost the technique of riding this kind of three-eight bars, and he thought about the technology of riding a battery car in later generations, but he didn't want Ma Ying to get on the dead car, he didn't know for a while whether it was a hard brace, or a hard brace!
Ma Ying naturally noticed the hesitation on Yang Limin's face.
Bicycles are a novelty these days, and not many people can afford them. Yang Limin is just a young worker who has just graduated and joined the work, although he has become a small leader in the factory, but in Ma Ying's opinion, with Yang Limin's clothes, the family obviously can't afford to buy a bicycle.
After all, it takes a lot of money to train a student to go to school, and Yang Limin's ability to study is naturally not a small cost for his family, even if it is an ordinary working family, it is very difficult.
Even if the state will subsidize a certain amount after being admitted to a small secondary school or university, it is also a matter after being admitted to school, and the previous efforts must also be paid off after participating in the work.
As such a family, life is already difficult, and where do you have spare money to buy a bicycle?
Therefore, Ma Ying thinks that it is not impossible for Yang Limin to ride a bicycle, but he should have learned it by rubbing the bicycle of the rich classmate in the family, and as for the technique, it may not be very good.
Although she secretly has a good impression of Yang Limin in her heart, but now that she has the opportunity, she also wants to get something back, so she smiled at Yang Limin with a little meaning: "Section Chief Yang, don't you know how to ride? If that's the case, why don't you just sit in the back seat, I'll take you!"
