Chapter 54: Bicycles
Lu Xueyan pulled Gu Mingtang and blinked her big eyes, "Mom, in the future, when I am coquettish with you, I can talk like this: Mom, Yanyan wants to eat candy, Yanyan will promise to eat only one piece, and Yanyan will also promise to brush her teeth after eating." ”
"Want to eat candy?" Gu Mingtang asked funny.
"Yanyan doesn't really want to eat it, but if you have to give it to Mom, I can't refuse." Lu Xueyan looked at Gu Mingtang expectantly.
"What candy to eat, to eat." At this moment, Gu Mingli entered the room with a pot of radish meatball soup and put it on the table of the Eight Immortals, "Hurry up and wash your hands." ”
The three children cheered and went down to the ground to put on their shoes and wash their hands.
The ground paved with half a red brick is very clean, and Gu Mingtang basically uses the snow outside to sweep on the ground, so that the cleanliness of the ash sweep can also increase the humidity.
A wooden stool was placed next to the four chairs, and Gu Mingtang went to get the dishes and chopsticks.
After Gu Mingli brought the two rice in, she said, "Second sister, you really want to be the women's director, let me tell you, the women's director of our brigade is not easy to do, thankless, and there are a lot of things, how can you live such a leisurely life like now." ”
In the past, she didn't like to come to her second sister's house.
Now she even hopes that the second brother-in-law will not come back, so she has been a companion for the second sister.
Of course, it's just a matter of thinking.
Actually, Gu Mingtang also felt troublesome.
He said, "Then I'll think about it." ”
It was mainly Ding Mei, who did not act today, that provoked her.
She really doesn't have any big feelings, so she kind of wants to replace Ding Mei, who has been working for more than ten years.
Of course, these thoughts also disappeared in a flash.
At the moment, it is still important to grab money, because there are so many things that she needs to buy.
When Gangzi came, it was a hired carriage.
He really got Gu Mingtang a brand-new and shiny permanent brand bicycle.
There was also a large wardrobe and a desk, all tied to the carriage with straw ropes.
"Sister, I have cleaned up this bicycle for you, the chain rim has been maintained, and I have also made a half-old air pipe for the second sister, although it is not very easy to use, but it is given for free, and it is not bad to use."
It's not very cold outside today, the sky is blue, the sun is shining, and the wind is not strong, Gu Mingtang looked at the legendary twenty-eight bars with surprise, and pushed around the yard a little excitedly, Gangzi said, "Sister, you are tall and have long legs, and you learn quickly." ”
"I can ride a bike." After Gu Mingtang finished speaking, he pushed the cart out, if it was Lu Liangzhou, he should be able to sit directly on the seat.
She first stepped on the pedals, and after a few kicks, she was about to fly into the car, but she ignored the snow under her feet, and before she could pedal, she fell to the ground.
Frightened, Gangzi hurriedly ran over.
I was joined by two children.
Gu Mingtang hurriedly turned over and stood up, let the two children stand beside him, and continued to step on the pedals to get into the car.
This time it worked.
Yes, it feels like the quality is good.
The bicycle is 190 yuan, the bicycle ticket is 25 yuan, Gu Mingtang gave 220 yuan, and the furniture was carried in with the help of the owner of the car, and it was placed side by side on the north wall.
Although it is two rooms, the area of the thatched house is more than 80 square meters, the room is more than 50, and the large wardrobe and bookcase are placed, and it does not look crowded, but the style is raised all at once.
In the eyes of the car driver, it is even more beautiful than the room where people in the city live.
Gu Mingtang spent 30 yuan on two pieces of furniture, and there were eggs and sausages filled by the county meat factory in the car, meat, eggs and milk are not lacking now, what is missing is fresh vegetables.
The North is not good at this point.
In the end, it cost a total of 288 yuan.
Eggs and sausages Gangzi still had a part left, which Gangzi wanted to give to the two families living in Xiangyang Commune.
Before leaving, Gangzi gave Lu Hui a flower ball that they didn't have.
Gu Mingtang smiled and asked Lu Hui to accept it, but he said to the almighty little merchant Gangzi that he could get two children's bicycles, and the price was not limited.
Gangzi has never seen what a children's bicycle looks like.
Gu Mingtang went into the house and drew it on a piece of paper.
Gangzi glanced at it, patted the back of his head, and hurriedly told Gu Mingtang that he had seen it, but it was an old one with paint off the outside, and he told Gu Mingtang that the county department store would have a new batch of bicycles after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and he would keep an eye on it, and if he couldn't buy it, he would find a way to find two old ones.
The old ones are fine, and the quality at this time is not to be said.
The people from the Corps came in the afternoon and sent Gu Mingtang Lu Liangzhou's salary last month, and then the communicator of the Corps also asked Gu Mingtang to tell Captain Zhou, saying that when it was time for spring ploughing, he would also send two cultivators to assist in production as in previous years, but the Corps was going to try to plant rice this year, and asked the captain if he had any ideas, and if he wanted to, he could go to the commune to sign up.
The area of rice cultivation in the north is not small, but the current yield is not high.
It seems that the yield per mu is more than 500 catties.
Gu Mingtang estimated that it should be a new variety.
In the seventh or eighth year, it is time to put forward the household contract responsibility system, that is, starting this year, grain production will increase year by year.
This correspondent is a young man in his twenties, with a round face, very festive, and smiling all the time, Lu Hui and Lu Xueyan also know him, and when they saw him come in, they called Uncle Shen together.
Xiao Shen was also a little interesting, and the first thing he saw when he entered the house was to check on the two children.
The two babies are now different from the previous little pitiful.
In the past, even if they had a good father, but the mother was not good, the child's mental state would not be good.
But now it's like two little suns.
Gu Mingtang also likes to dress them up, colorful striped sweaters, labor cloth pants, like foreign dolls in movies.
The living environment is also good, the windows are bright, and there are two rectangular wooden troughs on the windowsill, one is a finger-long garlic sprout, and the other is planted with small cabbage, which has sprouted green shoots.
I feel that it is enviable for the two babies to live in such an environment.
When the correspondent left, Gu Mingtang cut a few slices of milk tofu for him, Xiao Shen was not polite, and thanked Gu Mingtang with a smile and left briskly.
Gu Mingtang estimated that this must have come with a mission.
She didn't move Lu Liangzhou's salary, and put it away separately. Then I checked it and found that I was really a little expert in spending money, more than 1,000 yuan, and now there are more than 600 points left.
Judging from the consumption power of this era, it can be regarded as a very loser.
Gu Mingtang went to the brigade headquarters to convey the words of the communicator to the captain, and Lao Zhou ran to the commune non-stop, if there is really rice with high yield, it must be planted.
After leaving the brigade headquarters, Gu Mingtang went to Gu's house.
Xiaohai was the only one in the family, and he was frowning and doing the homework that Ah Hui left for him, and after asking, he learned that the eldest brother and his father went to Dahetao to fish.
As soon as Gu Mingtang turned around, he walked in the direction of Dahetao.
