Chapter 44 (1/2)
”I will, just me.” Li Mingli is really excited. This bike costs 160 yuan, which is only a few yuan cheaper than the permanent car, but more than 10 yuan cheaper than the Phoenix car. Even so, let her save money, I don't know when she can buy it.
”Auntie, my uncle is joking with you. We don't want you to treat us to big white rabbits. We have money ourselves.” Mei Xiaoran was happy to see her aunt so happy.
Thank you, Dad!
They have already made enough money to catch scorpions, but bicycle tickets are not easy to get. Mei Zhonghua had an idea. He went to the courtyard of the geological team to find out the workers. He inquired about them one by one and asked them one by one. Finally, he bought them from others with 20 jin of rice. At that time, the staff of the geological team all went to work in remote places. It was easy to take mountain roads by riding the 28 heavy bicycles. The light type 26 bicycles were not as popular as the 28 heavy bicycles. It happened that one of the staff members issued a light bicycle ticket this month, which they didn't want Mei Zhonghua caught up with her.
”Xiao Li, I wanted to get you a phoenix car, but I didn't get tickets.”
”That's good. I'm so satisfied.”
Li Mingli looked at the brand-new white pigeon bicycle, excited to touch and have a look. She doesn't want a phoenix bike. Next month, when her fourth sister gets married, her husband will give her a bride price of Phoenix Bicycle. If she buys a phoenix bike now, won't she steal the limelight from others? This flying pigeon car is very good. It's not as swaggering as Phoenix. It's a woman's car. It's very convenient for her to go to work.
Four children pushed their bicycles to Beiguan.
When Grandma Li and her family came back from the harvest, they were surprised to see a brand-new Flying Pigeon bicycle in the yard.
”Mom, this is the bike that Xiao Wei and Ran Ran Ran, the three of them, contributed to buy me.”
Grandma Li couldn't believe it. She pulled Mei Xiaoran nervously and asked, ”is it really the bicycle that your brother-in-law and you two saved for your aunt? Don't you steal
”Grandma, who do you think we are? The money is made by the three of us At this time, Mei Xiaoran must have a bright bottom. ”It's not that my uncle came back late these days. It's not that he went out to play, but he took Lei Lei Lei and me to catch scorpions. If you don't believe me, you can ask my father.”
”Really, gee, how can you think of catching scorpions for money?” Grandma Li is both happy and sad. Since Mingli went to work, she also wanted to buy a bicycle for Mingli to go to work conveniently. However, the economic situation at home really does not allow This catch up with the fourth daughter to go out, the family has to spend money, she is powerless. But I didn't expect that a few children had done it. What did she have to say?
”Grandma, it's not as hard as you think. We'll catch scorpions and play.” Mei Xiaoran doesn't want to leave the chance of showing off to herself. After all, she is still a child now. Being too showy is not in line with her identity. She pushed Li Hongwei out selflessly. ”Grandma, my brother-in-law has performed the best these days, catching scorpions the hardest, and my brother-in-law is the most sensible now.”
Li Hongwei can't laugh or cry. Does he know how to use his niece to boast?
But Li MINGYE saw it and said, ”I didn't even get on my bike. Mingli has a bicycle now. It's really more angry than people!”
”Fourth aunt, are you jealous again? In a few days, uncle four will push the Phoenix Bicycle back to you. It must be more beautiful than my aunt. ”
Mei Xiaoran's words make Li MINGYE feel much more comfortable. Thinking of the upcoming wedding, Li MINGYE's heart is full of expectations.
After lunch, the adults all have to rest for a while. It's really hard to do farm work. These days, people are exhausted.
But Mei Xiaoran and Li Hongwei have to encourage Li Mingli to go out to learn how to ride a bicycle. They have bought bicycles. If Li doesn't know how to ride, it will be a disaster.
