Chapter 81: First Hand
Qinglan quickly wiped a handful of sweat from the tip of her nose with her sleeve, and continued to compete against a pile of "broken copper and iron". Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
That's right, in everyone's opinion, this is a bunch of "broken copper and iron", how can a little girl who looks very smart and smart on weekdays be fooled and stupid by these things, and she is vigorously drilling the horns.
"Qingqing, what are you doing?" Uncle Pan walked into the backyard to get things, he was going to go back to Weixian County for the Mid-Autumn Festival after a few days of busyness, and come back after Chongyang.
"Uncle, I'm going to spell things." Qinglan didn't raise her head, and continued to "bury her head" in hard work.
"What are you going to do?" Uncle Pan stopped curiously.
"Bikes." Qinglan's answer made Uncle Pan even more confused.
"Bikes?" Uncle Pan can't keep up with his niece's train of thought, how can the car be pulled without livestock? If you return the bicycle, it won't be pushed by people, right? It's better to have a wheelbarrow.
"What car?" Thirteen and Xiaobao came to Shu's house for breakfast together, and they only needed to turn a corner.
"It's just..."Haruarashi gestured to introduce the bicycle she had been planning (planning) for a long time.
Years later, Thirteen brought back some off-white lotion, which smelled so irritating that it looked like a moldy cake.
"What's this?" Qinglan stared at Thirteen, her face was inexplicable, and the letter said that there was a "surprise" for herself, and her feelings were like a bucket... Swill?
"So you haven't seen it either!" Thirteen suddenly looked like a fried hedgehog, what he said at the beginning was vibrant, as if he knew more, but in fact, it was simply "talking on paper"!
Qinglan reacted immediately, and said incoherently excitedly, "You mean, this is... This is rubber?! ”
Thirteen nodded arrogantly, this is what the master found for you from thousands of miles away!
(Fifth Prince: I see... )
"Great!" Qinglan really wanted to give Thirteen a fierce hug, but reason warned her that she couldn't, this era didn't allow it.
Qinglan has never seen liquid rubber and can't make tires, but that doesn't stop her determination to make money, and bicycles are a good place to start, especially with rubber.
She split the car into dozens of parts, drew a lot of fine drawings for each part and assembly link, carefully marked the size, and sent it to Shu Laosan for him to help make it, and at the same time keep it confidential.
Finally, before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Qinglan received the "car frame" sent by Shu Laosan, and at the same time, there were also gifts from the two brothers of the Shu family to their families.
It is said to be a "frame", but in fact, only the iron triangle in the middle of the car is welded, and the rest are scattered parts, which need to be assembled by Qinglan herself.
Without the tools at hand, Qinglan had a lot of trouble packing.
In the end, Shu Lao Er and Uncle Pan couldn't see it, and it took a day to get a seven, seven, eight, eight.
For this reason, Pan Erniang scolded her daughter: "The store is so busy, you don't say that you are here to help, but you also pull your father and your uncle to work for you, it's not like that!" ”
Qinglan pretended to be a little daughter-in-law with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, but she really ignored this matter.
Thirteen looked at the assembled bicycle and felt a little disgusted. "This is a birthday gift for my lord?" Can you not do it?
Qinglan was embarrassed, "Don't look at it ugly, it's practical, I'll ride it for you!" With that, he stepped into the car with one foot.
Xiaobao glanced at Thirteen sympathetically, I said don't choose this at the beginning, it should be like me, it's right to choose food!
The latter received Xiaobao's eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, this thing... Can it withstand the weight of a person?
At the beginning, Qinglan asked the two of them to choose a gift, Xiaobao chose food, and Thirteen was forced to choose a bicycle because of Qinglan's shining eyes.
Soon, Thirteen's fears became a reality.
"Smack!"
Qinglan just rode two steps, and before she heard the praise and praise of her friends, she instantly "transferred" from the car to the ground and fell on her stomach!
What a shame... Qinglan was wailing in her heart, and when she turned around and saw that the car had broken into two sections from the girder and was almost falling apart, tears flowed in her heart, sister's bicycle!
Thirteen and Xiaobao were startled by Qinglan at first, and immediately stepped forward to help her, seeing her showing that expression, they thought that she had broken somewhere!
"Are you alright?" The two asked in unison.
Qinglan was speechless, and the three of them stared.
"Poof..."Xiaobao couldn't hold back at first.
"Hahahaha..."
The three friends sat on the ground and laughed, causing the adults to come and watch.
Pan Erniang looked at the bicycle that fell apart on the ground, and it took a day to put it together, but it was only a while before it was tossed and scattered!
"Shu Qinglan !!"
A "lion's roar" resounded through Guixing Lane, and Pan Erniang waved at Qinglan with a broomstick.

"Name."
The messenger glanced at Ji Dong, good guy, how can this person be as black as a Kunlun slave!
"Season... Uh, no, Shuzi. Ji Dong was a little nervous, he was nervous when he saw the official errand now.
"Shuqi? Do you have a brother named Boyi? The man quipped.
"No, no." Ji Dong thought of Ji Wei and Ji Chun, and he didn't know what happened to his mother now, and when he settled down, he had to send her a letter.
"Why are you here?" It is located in the remote land of Nanyi, and there is still a long distance from the state capital of Guangxi, and there are more people from the south who come here to do business.
Ji Dong didn't dare to say that he escaped, only said that he came out to run a business, and on the way back, he accidentally got on a thief ship, and lost both money and property.
It's really enough to memorize, and the poor person wrote down the reason clearly with a few strokes, and handed a thin sheet to Ji Dong:
"Oh, don't lose your household registration." Seeing that Ji Dong was pitiful, he didn't forget to tell him.
"Thank you, sir." Ji Dong almost shed tears when he held the household registration, from then on he is a good citizen, and he is no longer afraid of being hunted down, he Ji Dong has changed his face, and he will be a new person in the future!
"Well, let's go, next!"
There is an advantage to the border border, people who come back from outside have to come here to re-apply for household registration, Ji Dong took advantage of this to change his name and surname, and Wang Xiu also changed his name to Ji Xiu, indicating that she is still a member of the old Ji family.
With the new household registration, these people are good citizens, and they can go out and find work openly.
After searching on the street for two days, Luo Yi and Wang Wu also went out to inquire, saying that they made the most money and the fastest by boat, but it was a bit dangerous.
If you want to make quick money, there is no danger, compared to breaking the law, this is already the most suitable job for three people.
Ji Dong was a little hesitant, he was afraid of encountering the same situation as last time.
Luo Yi and Wang Wu are very moved, they have been walking on the sea for many years, and they are also familiar with their old business.
"Big brother, don't worry, this is going to the inland sea." Luo Yi persuaded Ji Dong vigorously that the inland sea would not be too far away from Ryukyu Island, and the danger factor was not great.
Ji Dong thought about it, he could escape from such a place, what else was there to be afraid of, the most important thing now was to make money, and support himself and his daughter-in-law first.
"Fuck, fuck it!"

"Dad..."Ji Chun held Ji Er's hand tightly and looked around in fear.
"It's fine." Ji Er comforted him and said that in fact, he was also a little drumming in his heart.
They are now at the junction of Cao County and Henan, where bandits often haunt the area, and they can't even hire a car, and no coachman is willing to take such a big risk.
"Dad, look." Ji Wei pointed to a tree trunk that fell on the road not far away, puzzled.
Groov! Ji Er's heart tightened, Ji Wei didn't know if he had never been out, such a scene was a standard prelude to robbery.
In September, the sun at noon was still a little dazzling, and Ji Er's sweat became more and more as he walked, looking at the clothes of his family, Ji Er felt that it was not impossible to pass the bandits.
The tree trunk that fell on the road was to stop the car, and before Ji Er and they walked to the stump, several dark-skinned bearded men had already walked out, standing in the middle of the road with things in their hands.
Ji Er first gave a few strong men a look, and then handed over a money bag tremblingly.
"What for?" The leader has an ugly scar on the left side of his face, making him look even more hideous.
"Cross, pass." The family of four bowed their heads.
"! I don't know you're passing by! A strong man with a mustache next to Scarface looked impatient, "What do you do!" “
"Sports cars." Ji Er replied in a whisper.
"Sports cars?" The mustache is obviously deeply dissatisfied with Ji Er's profession, how much money can be slaughtered by a sports car.
Ji Er is not stupid, if he wants to say that his family runs a big car shop, in case he is taken by bandits and tied up for ransom, then... That's a real goat!
"Sports cars? What are you doing here? A bearded man with a Henan accent stepped forward, but the recent rumors of the bandits were too tight, and they had to guard against it.
Ji Er couldn't speak for a while, and at this moment he was struggling fiercely in his head.
Make up a lie, but you can't stand asking, what if the children say it's missed; To be honest, will the other party tie himself to the county government office and ask for a reward?
"Speak! Cat got your tongue!? The mustache was very fierce, and kicked Ji Er with one kick.
"Daddy!"
"Dad!"
Ji Er slowly got up and waved his hand, and said to Scarface with a bitter face: "Grandfathers, ancestors, we really don't have any money, we are just a little common people, please let us go." “
Scarface was indifferent, his fingers gesturing, and the other beards stepped forward to search for it.
After searching Ji Lao Er and searching for two children, even Luo Yuniang didn't let go.
Luo Yuniang was so frightened that her heart trembled, Ji Er exchanged the silver money for tickets, and now they are hidden in the monthly letter bag she is holding in her hook.
After touching it for a long time, only a few copper plates were touched, and Scar's face was expressionless, but his heart was open.
These people are poorly dressed, and they don't even have a big jacket in their baggage, so they say they should join their relatives, but they don't have a decent gift; If it is said to be a sale, it is even more impossible to take out anything valuable on the whole body; There are not many people who dare to break into their own territory like this, either the official errand opens the way, or... It's an outlaw!
What made them rush away? He wanted to tie the family back, but he was afraid of getting into trouble.
After the mustache checked the people of the Ji family, he gave Scarface a look, which means: These people are not honest.
Scarface made a gesture, and a few mustaches stepped forward, blindfolding Ji Er.
"Uncle, grandfather," Ji Er was groping in the dark, he couldn't be kidnapped back by the bandits, he would definitely be exposed! "Let the little one go, the little one has caused a life lawsuit, and if you don't escape, you will die!"

"Mother, I was wrong..."Qinglan knelt on the futon in front of the kang, and her mother was sitting on the edge of the kang, sewing one of her father's old clothes without a stitch.
"Hmph." Pan Erniang didn't even look at her daughter, and she didn't open the house for three days, she was talking about Shu Qinglan, and Brother He'er is now more obedient than her!
(Brother He: Mother, I am willing to give half of my master to my sister...) )
"Mother..."Qinglan reached out and shook the corner of her mother's clothes.
"Don't touch me!" Pan Erniang yelled at her daughter angrily.
Qinglan didn't dare to squeak or make any more movements, and knelt there straight.
"Mother...", Qinglan continued to beg for mercy, she still wanted to see what was going on with the bicycle, why didn't it succeed.
"Don't call me mother! I can't control you anymore, I should call you mother, right? Pan Erniang was obviously angry by her daughter's "nonsense".
Qinglan hadn't heard the words "Shu Da Xiucai" for a long time, and her mother used to tease her father.
"Mother, I know it's wrong..."Qinglan's face wrinkled into an embarrassing word, which looked extremely funny.
"Tell me about you, it's not easy for our family to make money, for the three of you to study, your father and I are up and crawl in the middle of the night. Don't you say it's good to study, and you make these messy things all day long, are you still young? Yes, you used to be young, and your father and I didn't talk about you; But look at how old you are now, you don't know the depth..."Balabala, Pan Erniang began to criticize and educate her daughter.
This is a good phenomenon, thunder (roar) rain (scolding), this matter is considered to be a turning page; If there is no rain in some thunder, then it will be noisy!
Qinglan lowered her head, she really put most of her mind on barbecue and bicycle this year, and she was a little slack off in reading.
"Mother, I promise not to do this in the future!" After Pan Erniang's long speech, Qinglan hurriedly promised that I would secretly study the bicycle and never let you see it.
"Hmph, hurry up, it's annoying to look at you."
Qinglan was pardoned, got up and ran out.
It was late at night, and the wretched bicycle was still lying alone.
Qinglan squatted in front of the car and turned left and right, puzzled by what went wrong.
"Qingqing, why don't you sleep yet?" Uncle Pan finished cleaning up the barbecue stove and went to the backyard.
"Uncle..."Qinglan looked at Uncle Pan miserably like a homeless kitten.
"Uncle, take a look." By the faint light in the room, Uncle Pan carefully inspected the part of the car that fell apart.
"You draw me a copy of the drawing, and my uncle will go back and think about it." Uncle Pan didn't fix the "bicycle" after repairing it for a long time, for fear that his niece would be disappointed, so he was going back to Weixian to find his father for help.
