All the way to the supply and marketing store, there are many types of bicycles in it, among which the five major brands of Permanent, Phoenix, Hongqi, Flying Pigeon and Golden Lion are the first.

After turning around, he selected a Hongqi 28 bar, priced at 174 yuan.

In addition, there are ring locks, seat covers, pedal covers and other miscellaneous fees of 9 yuan, a total of 183 yuan.

Looking at the empty pocket, Lin Jian felt a pain in his flesh.

But when he saw the brand new car, he felt that it was all worth it.

There are no secrets in the village, as the saying goes, the head of the village farts, and you will know it at the end of the village in a few minutes.

It was time to hand over the public grain after the autumn harvest, and someone saw Lin Jianjun riding a bicycle back, and the news quickly spread in the village.

"This Lin Youfa family doesn't know what good luck has gone recently, Fan Xiumei has been sick for many years, Lin Xi's girl suddenly went to school again, and the situation of their boss is also talking about his daughter-in-law, look at it now, tsk, shiny bicycle, I see it from afar!"

"I guess it's true that they are speculating."

"In these years, he is a black cat and a white cat, and he is a good cat when he catches a mouse. You see that Lin Youxiang's daughter-in-law usually squeaks, and this time people are living their lives, it's strange to see that she is not angry. ”

It was exactly what everyone expected, Wu Meili was angry and anxious when she heard that Lin Youfa had bought a new bicycle.

"Second brother, is it clear that their family wants to compete with us? Xiao Xu is in high school, you look at their family rushing to send Lin Xi over, this time it's good, just grab us in front of us, buy a bicycle and come back, but let them give the limelight. ”

Mrs. Lin sat on the edge of the kang, her face a little gloomy.

She has never been waiting to see the second daughter-in-law, that is, a 'black five' bad element, the ingredients are not good, and the health is also poor, but the second child is very worried about her.

Lin Youxiang: "Anyway, our family is going to buy it, and I'll go to my eldest brother's house tomorrow to see if he can help get a bicycle ticket." ”

Wu Meili: "When Xiao Xu went to school to live in their house, my eldest brother and sister-in-law didn't agree, but now I get a bicycle ticket, can they agree?" ”

Hearing her say that her eldest son was not good, Mrs. Lin's drooping eyelids moved.

"It's not easy for your eldest brother, a big family has to be fed, and you have a good life in the city? Besides, let Lin Xu go, doesn't Lin Xi's dead girl have to follow? It's better to refuse at all, and save your second brother and them from speaking. ”

Wu Meili stopped talking.

The next day, Lin Youxiang took a carriage to deliver public grain to the town and went to the town.

Lin Youzhong and his family happened to be at home, so Lin Youxiang said that he wanted a bicycle ticket.

"Third brother, the city is different from the countryside, and now it is fashionable to get married, and it is impossible to have a watch, a bicycle, a sewing machine and a radio. It's not easy to get a bike ticket. ”

As soon as Sun Shuzhen finished speaking, she looked up and saw Lin Youzhong glancing at her, and she quickly shut up in fright.

"Although it's hard to get a bicycle ticket, I'm a leader anyway, and it's not a big problem to get one."

Lin Youxiang: "I just said that it has to be the eldest brother, our old Lin family, you are the most promising." The people in the village don't give a thumbs up when they mention the eldest brother. ”

Lin Youzhong was used in his heart, but he still waved his hand and said: "What is not powerful, a director of the trade union will listen to it well." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and asked about other things: "It's time for the village to pay the public grain, right?" ”

"I came here in a carriage that pulls public grain."

After the production team collects the grain, it will hand over a certain amount of grain in accordance with state regulations, and the price of public grain is generally very low, and it is divided into first, second, and third classes according to the water content level.

At most, it will not exceed two cents a pound.

The rest of the food will be distributed equally among the members of the team according to the labor force or capitation.

"Although the city is good at eating and supplying food, it is not as rich as the village, Xiaoxia and they should be more prosperous when they get married, but, alas."

Lin Youzhong said and sighed.

Lin Youxiang's eyes rolled: "Big brother, the second brother's family is not the same as it used to be, their family has a lot of labor, and naturally there is more food, I will go back to discuss with my mother, and send some food to the family." ”

Lin Youzhong's goal was achieved, and the smile on his face was much more sincere: "Xiao Xu's child also has a lot of money for the dormitory, right?" The weather is getting colder and colder, and the school is not burning well, so I asked her aunt to see if she can make room for it, and when the time comes, she will come to live at home, they are all a family, how can she let the child suffer. ”

Lin Youxiang saw that he was relieved and didn't stay long, so he hurried home to discuss with Mrs. Lin about asking for food.

……

"I'm going to be separated from you for two more days." Watching Lin Xi pack her schoolbag, Liu Qing looked lonely.

"Didn't you keep yelling for popcorn, wait for me to come back next time and bring it to you, and the firewood for heating, you don't have to worry, I'll help you get it together."

The management system of the county No. 1 middle school is very strict. The third year of high school is busy with academics, and unlike the previous one-day vacation per week, students will now be given two days off after the monthly exam every month, so that students who are far away can also have time to stay at home for one more day.

It's just that this time it's not just a holiday, the school also assigns tasks to the students, and all students have to hand in a bag of firewood when they start school again.

The school did not install heating, but still burned the stove for heating, and each class solved the heating materials by itself.

Now they all buy coal with tickets, and it is not enough to heat the homes of their classmates in the city, let alone have extra to bring to school, so they can only use the vacation time to collect firewood outside the city.

"I knew you were the best for me."

The two walked out of the teaching building while talking, and when they walked to the door, they saw Lin Jianjun standing under a tree not far away, with a brand-new bicycle next to him.

Lin Xi walked two steps quickly: "Fourth brother, did you buy a bicycle?" ”

Lin Jianjun patted the seat of the car: "What's the matter?" You'll never have to walk back again. ”

Seeing Lin Xu also coming out of the door, Lin Jianjun hurriedly raised his hand and greeted: "Xiao Xu, you can go back with us." ”

It's all a family, now that he saw it, he couldn't just pick up his little sister and leave Lin Xu alone.

Lin Xu looked at his newly bought bicycle and tightened his hand holding the schoolbag.

"Forget it, fourth brother, how can a bicycle carry two people."

Lin Jianjun patted the bar in front of him: "Lin Xi sits here, you sit in the back." ”

Lin Xu reluctantly agreed.

Waving goodbye to Liu Qing, Lin Xi sat in front of the car.

"Fourth brother, can you do it? How do I feel unentrusted? ”

Feeling the crooked body, Lin Xi was so frightened that he didn't dare to take a breath.

"Don't worry, your brother and I have been riding for several days, and there are no problems."

"Fourth brother, come and pick me up next time, remember to tie a cushion in front of you, and you will have a butt."

"It's just you."

Listening to the conversation between the brother and sister in front of him, a trace of envy flashed in Lin Xu's eyes.
