By the riverside, the adult Yinglong continued to walk, and the atmosphere seemed a little dull. A group of teenagers drove past on bicycles, whistleing loudly in front and back, and sprinkling a cheerful laugh.

The scene at this time evokes memories of when Yinglong learned to ride a bicycle as a teenager.

At that time, he had entered middle school, which meant that Xiao Yinglong had entered his teenage years.

After entering junior high school, Xiao Yinglong quickly drew strips, from a short man to a thin and tall boy. Perhaps because of the "strip drawing", the nutrients of the three meals a day are absorbed, so it seems that it only grows but does not grow meat.

Even he himself found it strange that although each meal was two large bowls, he did not gain weight, and even wondered if what he ate was not nutritious at all.

But there is meat and vegetables at every meal at home, basically a combination of meat and vegetables, but why there is no muscle on the body, Yinglong doesn't understand this, is it that he was born with a "slim gene", no matter how he eats, he can't get fat.

But Yinglong still has white skin, even if he is in the sun, he can't tan, and his appearance is worthy of the audience in everyone's evaluation, and the most obvious features on his face are two thick black sword eyebrows and a pair of bright eyes.

Therefore, Ying Long felt a little comforted, after all, his appearance was not bad, so he no longer felt inferior to his figure, which was too thin.

Entering middle school, Yinglong is an eye-opener.

The school has a tall school building, a spacious campus and a sports field, which is completely different from the original primary school.

Although the primary school is relatively famous in Ben Thanh, especially in his impression, the tall ginkgo tree on the primary school campus has left many deep memories.

In summer and autumn, the ginkgo trees drop fan-shaped golden leaves that spread all over the surrounding ground, attracting children to pick them up or clip them in a book as a bookmark.

But middle school is a completely different world in Yinglong's eyes, and everything here greatly satisfies his curiosity.

There are even amazing anatomy classes in middle school.

In the biology laboratory, the teacher teaches the students to dissect small animals such as crucian carp. In order to observe the physiological structure of these small animals and improve their understanding of book knowledge.

Another interesting thing is the chemistry experiment class, those strange elements and other things make Yinglong remember deeply, it turns out that in this world, all matter is made of these simple elements, the world is really amazing.

They would use instruments such as test tubes and beakers to do chemistry experiments, and Yinglong discovered a lot of things in the microscopic world in these classes.

When they mix together substances that seem unrelated on the surface, they produce a strong chemical reaction, and some of them even emit fire and smoke, which is really jaw-dropping.

However, the middle school is far away from Yinglong's house.

Usually, he walks to school with a heavy schoolbag on his back, about 20 minutes away.

At that time, the family gave an old-fashioned Shanghai watch to Yinglong so that he could get to and from school on time, so as not to be late because he didn't know the time.

Yinglong walked to school every day, with a distance in between passing the primary school where he had attended.

Every time he passed by the gate of the primary school, when Yinglong saw the rusty iron gate and the school name with blurred handwriting on the gatehouse, he would still be full of emotion, and he couldn't help but recall his elementary school days.

And how childish he was then, some things still find very funny when I think about them today.

Once because the elementary school stipulated the lunch break, the door was not opened early, and the little Yinglong, who has always been full of energy, would climb the ancient camphor tree from the wall on the side of the school to climb the school wall, and then jump over the wall into the school, and sneak into the classroom without a sound.

Then some students actually imitated Xiao Yinglong's behavior, and also followed him to climb trees and climb over the wall, and were accidentally discovered by the teachers guarding the campus, which attracted a chase.

Of course, the students fled in all directions, and the teacher didn't know which one to catch, so he let all these little guys run away.

Even now, when Yinglong thinks of these things, he still can't help but laugh, and he realizes how naughty he must have been at that time, and he can't help but wonder if he is a problem student in the eyes of the teacher.

As Yinglong walked through the alley in front of the school, a few passing students would rush to ride their bicycles from time to time.

But Yinglong could only watch as they drifted away.

At this time, a thought will come to Yinglong's mind: "Why can't I ride my bicycle to school?" How nice it would be to get on a bike! There is no need to walk slowly, walking so far alone is really a little tired and panicked. ”

So Yinglong buried this idea in his heart and wanted to discuss it with his parents when the time was right.

One day at dinner, Yinglong cautiously asked his parents, "Mom and Dad, can I ride my bicycle to school?" Buy me a bike! ”

Milan listened and hesitated: "Riding a bicycle, can you do it?" ”

Yingnan also heard it, glanced at Yinglong, and just lowered his head to eat, and did not make a sound.

Yingyun knew what his younger brother thought, it would be very inconvenient for a boy to not have a bicycle as a means of transportation.

So she put down her job and whispered to Yinglong, "Do you know how to ride a bicycle?" ”

Yinglong looked at his sister and felt that there should be a drama in it, so it was better to just make a statement.

He hurriedly raised the chopsticks in his hand and said loudly, "I can learn!" There's nothing wrong with that! Cycling is easy. ”

Yingyun listened, smiled and said to his father: "Dad, I think it's okay to give that old men's car to Yinglong, I'm short, let's change to a women's car." ”

Yingnan and Milan saw that their daughter Yingyun proposed this, and they couldn't say anything more. After all, Yingyun has been working for a long time, and he is the eldest at home, so he still has a certain right to speak.

Yingyun is Yinglong's sister, who works in the administrative department, rides a bicycle to work every day, and used to ride a men's bicycle and found it very inconvenient, but now it is not too much to change to a women's car, Yingnan had to nod and agree.

As the eldest daughter, he could not refuse such a request.

Yingyun smiled slightly and said to Yinglong: "My bicycle will be given to you, you can take it to ride tomorrow!" ”

Yinglong happily thanked Yingyun: "Thank you, sister, great, now I have a bicycle!" ”

Over the weekend, Yinglong got the keys and used a wrench to make the bike's stool a little shorter to suit his height, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to ride the bike.

Yinglong was full of joy and looked at the bike, it was a fifty percent new old permanent bike, not too old, but not new, it looked like it should have gone through some wind and rain.

Yinglong tried the test car, but fortunately, the brakes and faucets were quite flexible.

His interest was so great that he decided to ride it right away and give it a try.

So Yinglong clenched the handlebars and sat down on the saddle, but he felt that his feet were a little difficult to touch the ground, so he had to stand on tiptoe and prop one foot on the ground to maintain balance.

What should I say now, Yinglong really hasn't ridden a bicycle before, and I can't help but feel a little scared.

At this time, a boy from the neighborhood, passing by, saw his embarrassment, so he kindly told him, "You can sit on the bench in the back and ride!" It's easier that way! ”

Yinglong was a little surprised: "Is this okay?" ”

He hadn't tried it before.

However, he also noticed that some children had done this while riding adult bikes, so he decided to just give it a try and let the bikes run first.

At this time, there was no room for him to think about it anymore, Yinglong leaned back, sat on the coat rack in the back, and lay on his stomach on the front seat, his hands firmly clenched on the handle.

"But it's a lot of work! I'll ride it first, no matter what! ”

Yinglong muttered in his heart, and he didn't care if it was a little ugly to ride a bicycle like this.

Thankfully, his arms are long enough to get a good center of gravity.

Yinglong settled down, and stepped forward and backward with both feet, pushing the bicycle forward.

Then, the wheels began to roll forward, and when the bike had a certain speed, the handlebars in his hands stopped shaking, and Yinglong began to put his feet on the pedals and rode hard.

Out of the alley, there were not many cars and people on the road, so Yinglong rode along the familiar road.

There is relatively little traffic on this road, and Yinglong can feel the buildings on the side of the road rushing backwards, and the cool breeze blows Yinglong's short hair, which feels very refreshing.

In this way, Yinglong rode his bicycle along the familiar road, and a few children playing on the side of the road laughed when they saw Yinglong's appearance: "Come and see!" And there are cyclists like this! ”

Yinglong suddenly felt a little shy, but he decided to disdain it, even if there was nothing to be afraid of, after all, he was already running on a bicycle, so it was much better than walking on the road with a pair of feet.

Yinglong rode forward on his bicycle, the distance was getting farther and farther, and he had already crossed several roads.

Seeing that there was a downhill slope ahead, the speed of the wheels was increasing, and there was no need to pedal harder.

Yinglong saw that his speed was speeding up, and he was a little nervous in his heart, and his eyes looked directly at the road in front of him.

Suddenly, Yinglong's heart was excited, and his head was hot, "Just ride up and take a look!" ”

He immediately straightened his legs and sat down on the stool, and the bike only swayed slightly before he stabilized his center of gravity.

Yinglong was very happy, "This is what riding a bicycle looks like, it's up to me!" ”

He laughed at the wind, then slowly stepped on his feet and slid down the slope with a puff of smoke.

Yinglong rode his bicycle crookedly on the path alone, turning several times in a row, and walked through all the familiar sections.

He was inevitably a little proud, he didn't expect to learn to ride a bicycle so quickly!

But if you think about it, didn't he also ride a baby bicycle when he was a child, and probably accumulated experience at that time, so it is much easier to ride a bicycle now.

After the excitement of riding the bicycle passed, Yinglong felt a little tired, so he went back the way he came.

He rode his bicycle slowly past the children who were laughing at him before he rode his bike, and he thought it was really funny to see the surprised expressions of those snots.

"You were still laughing at me just now! Look at me now, can you still laugh, huh! ”

Yinglong was secretly proud, went home and parked the car, went upstairs and lay down on the bed, still thinking about what had just happened in his mind: "In the future, I can ride a bicycle to school, and I don't have to throw the 'sea road' anymore." ”

Probably too excited just now, he felt a little tired, so he closed his eyes and took a nap, and soon fell asleep.

Since then, Yinglong has ridden his bicycle to and from school every day.

Perhaps because of this old bicycle, Yinglong has since stepped farther and farther.

He enjoys cycling around the road, admiring the buildings on both sides of the road and enjoying his ride.

As a result, he gradually became familiar with many places in the city, and often rode his bicycle to his classmates.

So Yinglong has seen many different things and slowly broadened his horizons.

He even knows where the buildings in Ben Thanh are of high class and where the houses are still in the style of a long time ago, many of which have not been developed and still retain the style of decades ago.

Perhaps it is these old era buildings that make Yinglong feel that Bencheng is really a bit backward to a certain extent, and it seems a little dilapidated compared with the surrounding big cities.
