Chapter 128: Selling Bicycles
The next morning, after giving the nest head and pickles to the king's belly, Lamei came to the house again and said to her father:
"Godfather, I told the white-haired grandmother about our family's situation, and she was very sympathetic to us and willing to help. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but she didn't have any cash in her hand, so she wanted to give me two old bicycles and let me sell them to buy you something to build a house.
"I'm too young to sell alone, I want to sell with you, you see, okay?"
"Bicycles, the white-haired grandmother wants to give you two bicycles?" asked Wang Changsuo in surprise.
"Well, I want to push you, and I haven't told you yet, I don't know if you agree or not?"
"Agreed, agreed! The white-haired grandmother asked you to sell it, not to mention that this is still for my family, I agree a hundred times, and I should also help with this. ”
Lamei: "There are still three days before the big gathering in Wuyou County, you see, am I pushing your family here, or is it at the white-haired grandmother's place?"
Wang Changsuo thought for a while: "Let's put it at the white-haired grandmother." Bicycles are a rarity, so don't make a splash on the team, and there's no place to put them at home. When you push it on the day of the set, we'll sell it. ”
Lamei: "It's okay. Godfather, I think the bicycle sells well, even if it is old, it can be sold for twenty or thirty yuan. In the past two days, you think about what you need to prepare, and we will buy it after selling it. ”
Wang Changsuo: "Okay, okay, I'll plan the plan, sell the bike and start the action." ”
The money for building the house was settled, and Wang Changsuo's heart fell in his belly, so he went to inform his mother.
When Wang Changsuo told Wang Zhang's about the idea of moving out and planning to build a house, Wang Zhang's heart softened when he saw that things had an eyebrow:
"You guys move out, where the three eldest children sleep or where they sleep. As long as you are not in this courtyard, you can say to the outside world that this house belongs to the third child. It's good to find a daughter-in-law.
"It's not that I'm ruthless, it's not for the sake of someone in the third house. Girls at this time are not like when you got married, just have a house.
"What can I do if people pick this reason? If he fights a bachelor for the rest of his life, you feel good?"
"Yes, mother. That's what I think about too. You're already enlightened and generous to have your three children still living here, and I can't say anything else. ”
So, Wang Changsuo and his wife took their youngest son Wang Guiyong and youngest daughter Wang Xiaoye and moved to two small grass sheds in Dongxian Courtyard;
Wang Xiaohua and the two sisters still live in the east ear house of the old courtyard, and Wang Guiqiang still sleeps with his uncle. Sundries were placed in the east wing.
Sisters Wang Guiqiang and Wang Xiaohua are active in the idle courtyard during the day, and they only go to rest at night.
Lamei still sends eleven nests every day, and Ma Huien still takes four of them to the old courtyard each time. This made Wang Zhang's eyebrows smile again.
Lameko was busy. During the day, she had to raise money to buy pickles, and at night, she had to steam two pots of wowotou in the house she rented in her previous life, so as to meet the supply of Wang Da Belly and her parents.
In the past, she only rushed to a large set of Wangdian in her previous life, but this time, in order to raise money for the pickles of Wang Da's belly, she learned about the market days near Wangdian Village, and as long as there was a set, she would go to catch it.
still sells small old clothes, as long as she can sell them for five yuan a day, she is happy, and she can make a big belly for a day.
The three days passed quickly, and the big market day in Wuyou County arrived.
After breakfast that morning, Lamei pushed both bicycles into the Dongxian courtyard where her parents now lived, and said to her father:
"It's these two bicycles, today happens to be the big gathering in Wuyou County, let's go sell them and see how much they can sell!"
Wang Changsuo circled around the bicycle, touching here and there, fresh is not good. I lived for more than 30 years, and I saw people riding it, but I haven't even touched it.
"How did we get there?" After seeing enough, Wang Changsuo asked suspiciously.
Lamei: "If you can't ride, let's push." In fact, it is very easy to learn, you are tall, and you will learn it as soon as you learn. ”
Wang Changsuo: "Do you know how to ride?"
"Yes!" Lamei took out her legs and rode in the yard for a while: "I'm too short to ride the pedals on the seat, so I can only ride with my legs." You can ...... like this."
Lamei explained: "Pedal the pedal with your left foot, stomp forward with your right foot, then go up, sit on the saddle, and ride forward with your pedal."
"If you're tall, you can go up first, sit on the saddle, and push the pedals directly with your feet. The eyes must look ahead, if you can't look at it, you will put the bicycle crookedly, and your feet will hit the ground, and you can't fall. ”
Wang Changsuo saw that what Lamei said was very easy, and he also wanted to learn, so he first practiced pushing and pushing, and then tried according to what Lamei said.
Sure enough, I went up and pedaled twice. Due to the unsteady handlebar, the shaking was so frightened that he quickly put the bicycle crookedly, and after one foot landed on the ground, the bicycle was firmly controlled, and the person also stood firmly.
Lamei applauded him: "Okay, godfather, it's okay to have these two laps, and after more practice, you will find the feeling of riding a bicycle."
"Let's go all the way, you practice all the way, I can promise: if you can't get to the city, you can ride well. In the future, I will ask for one for the white-haired grandmother, and you will have a car owner. ”
Wang Changsuo was also too happy, and said with a smile: "Anyway, if I go to the market, I'll practice it." With you as a master, I will definitely be able to learn.
"There are car people and there are no car people, don't you annoy the white-haired grandmother because I open my mouth too much for the white-haired grandmother!"
Lamei smiled and said, "I said godfather, everyone else wants to ask for more things from God's family, why don't you give it to you?"
Wang Changsuo: "It's not that I don't, I think the white-haired grandmother has given a lot to this family." This time, I gave two bicycles, and if you ask for it again, won't it seem that we don't know what to do!"
Lamei: "I'll take care of the heat." Godfather, you're just?"
Wang Changsuo practiced his bicycle, and Lamei followed without moving forward. The father and daughter talked and laughed while walking and practicing, and sure enough, before they entered the county, Wang Changsuo learned to ride.
Although he is not very firm, he is 1.75 meters tall, and when there is a situation or the bicycle is crooked, his legs are enough to land on the ground without any accidents.
The so-called bicycle market is actually a second-hand car market, and there is no new one.
Don't look at the canteen now, in the era of the Great Famine, advanced means of transportation are still very popular. In addition, there are few hardware products now, and the price is expensive, and there are not a few people who want to buy second-hand bicycles.
Moreover, there are many people who still have a little bit of power, for example, village cadres in rural areas, who can't buy a new one, so they buy a second-hand one, or rely on a bicycle, go to a meeting, ride around the farmland, and save time decently.
There are also those that are bought for school-going children. When the child is admitted to junior high school or high school, in order to facilitate the way back and forth, families with conditions will buy an old one for the child.
