Chapter 18 Buying a Bike
"I'm not dreaming, am I? Who is this biker? ”
"Second-rate, where did you borrow the bike?"
"Borrowed? I think it's stolen! ”
"What kind of luck has this second-rate person had recently? It's an electric fan and a bicycle, have you picked up the money? ”
No one in the village believed that Su Yulin could afford to buy a bicycle.
Although everyone often goes to town, they don't notice that Su Yulin is doing a small vegetable business.
The impression of Su Yulin by the people in the village has not changed, and he has always stayed idle, drunk and gambling.
Now Su Yulin has added large supplies to his home one after another, which naturally aroused the suspicion of the villagers.
Mao Dingbang happened to come back from work and saw Su Yulin pushing a bicycle and walking.
His eyes immediately widened, and he looked at Su Yulin in disbelief.
If you want to say who is the best in the village, it is naturally Mao Dingbang.
He works in a supply and marketing cooperative, earning forty yuan a month.
It is an iron rice bowl, and the work is decent and easy.
The wind doesn't blow and the rain doesn't show.
After a long time, Mao Dingbang developed a sense of superiority and considered himself superior.
Usually, when I meet people in the village, my nostrils are turned to the sky, and I look down on anyone.
Although Mao Dingbang also bought a bicycle, it has been riding for several years and is very worn.
Although he has a stable salary, he is reluctant to change to a new bike.
Seeing that the second-rate son he despised the most bought a bicycle and came back, Mao Dingbang always felt that things were not so simple, so he stepped forward and asked Su Yulin: "How much did you buy this bicycle?" ”
"One hundred and fifteen."
Su Yulin pushed the bicycle and walked away, and replied happily.
Mao Dingbang stood on the spot as if he had been shocked.
One hundred and five is his salary for three or four months, and if he is allowed to spend such a price on a bicycle, he will not be willing to do so anyway.
"This kid seems to have made a fortune lately."
"It can't be that you have good luck gambling and have won a lot of money, right?"
"It's possible that it's stolen money."
"Stealing money is serious, it's a crime."
Amid the discussion of the villagers, Su Yulin pushed the bicycle back to the door of the house and shouted loudly into the house: "Jiao, Chunfeng, look at what I brought back!" ”
Not long after the words fell, the wife, followed by her daughter, came out of the house and her eyes fell on the brand-new bicycle.
In the past, when Su Yulin hadn't started to do business and make money, if she saw Su Yulin buy a bicycle and come back, Huang Yujiao would be extremely shocked.
Things are different now.
Huang Yujiao is facing a lot of money every day these days, and her heart is much more stable.
She glanced at the whispering villagers in the distance, and counted her husband: "You have no reason for it, why do you buy a bicycle." ”
Su Yulin said with a smile: "It's convenient to go out with a bicycle, and it saves trouble and effort to go back and forth to the town." ”
"Great, we have a bicycle at home! We have a bicycle at home! ”
Daughter Chunfeng was extremely excited, jumping up and down while applauding.
Su Yulin asked his wife to pick up her daughter and put her on the seat on the horizontal axis in front of the car.
Bicycles in the 80s came with child seats, making it easy for parents to travel with their children while riding the bike.
My daughter was thrilled to sit in the child seat.
Su Yulin asked his wife to sit in the back seat.
In a pair of envious eyes, Su Yulin rode a bicycle and rode his wife and daughter back and forth in the village.
That's happiness.
You don't need too much material, and the whole family of three can feel the taste of happiness when they ride a bicycle.
After the ride, Su Yulin taught his wife how to ride a bicycle.
He found that the 28-inch Phoenix bicycle was not suitable for women.
The bikes of this brand are so tall that some short men struggle to ride.
Although his wife is not short, she is slim.
But riding a bike with such a tall horse is also strenuous and unsightly.
Such a bicycle is not suitable for women to ride, so Su Yulin decided to go back and buy a shorter bicycle for his wife.
When the market day came, Su Yulin went out to meet Jiang Yuejin as usual and continued to drive a tractor to sell vegetables.
Huang Yujiao cleans at home, has an electric fan at home, and a bicycle.
She feels alive at home and tidies up whenever she has time.
"Sister, are you at home?"
When Huang Yujiao lowered her head and swept the floor, she heard a familiar male voice at the door.
When I looked up, it was my younger brother Huang Yulong who came to the door.
Huang Yujiao's maiden home is dozens of miles away.
Because her husband has no income, she often drinks and gambles.
My mother's family has rarely visited her home over the years.
A month ago, Su Yulin had a quarrel with Huang Yulong.
The reason for the quarrel is nothing more than that he is idle and has achieved nothing.
At that time, Huang Yujiao was caught in the middle, and no one helped.
She thought that after that quarrel, her younger brother Huang Yulong would not come to the door again, but who expected that after a month, her younger brother would come uninvited.
And he also brought a middle-aged woman to the door.
The middle-aged woman in front of her was a little familiar.
Huang Yujiao felt as if she had seen it somewhere, and after thinking about it carefully, she couldn't think of where she had seen a middle-aged woman.
"Sit, you're welcome."
Huang Yulong led the middle-aged woman into the house and sat down as if she were returning to her own home.
Huang Yujiao looked at the middle-aged woman again, and finally came back to her senses, isn't this the famous matchmaker Sister-in-law Zhang?
It's rare for my brother to come to the door, and it's just a matter of coming to the door, what are you doing with a matchmaker?
Could it be that my brother has taken a fancy to which girl in this village?
The younger brother is not young, and he should indeed find a girl to start a family.
Thinking of this, Huang Yujiao tentatively asked Sister-in-law Zhang: "Sister-in-law Zhang, does my brother have a crush on a girl in my village?" ”
Sister-in-law Zhang and Huang Yulong glanced at each other, smiled and shook their heads.
Huang Yujiao was immediately confused.
My brother didn't have a crush on anyone, so what did he do with the matchmaker?
"Uncle, you're here."
When her daughter came back from playing outside, she recognized Huang Yulong as she entered the house and ran towards Huang Yulong with joy.
Huang Yulong stretched out his hand and pulled his niece Chunfeng into his arms, touched his niece's little head, and said with a look of love: "I haven't seen Fengfeng for a month, have you gained weight?" ”
He didn't know the reason why Chunfeng had gained weight.
These days, Su Yulin is making money every day, and the whole family eats big fish and meat every day.
Chunfeng is the age of growing the body, and big fish and big meat every day are conducive to gaining weight.
After getting hot with his niece, Huang Yulong asked his niece to play on the side, and asked his sister Huang Yujiao in a low voice: "Brother-in-law is not at home, right?" ”
"He's not at home, he's gone to the market."
Although she felt that her younger brother was a little strange to come to the door today, Huang Yujiao still answered her brother's questions.
As soon as Huang Yulong heard that Su Yulin was not at home, he glanced at his niece who was playing next to him, and lowered his voice again: "Sister, I won't turn around and wipe my feet, let's talk to you directly." This time, I'm here to be a matchmaker for you. ”
"Be a matchmaker for me?"
Huang Yujiao was taken aback.
She was already married and had a daughter.
What kind of play is this singing, brother?
actually came to the door to be a matchmaker for her?
