It has to be said that Lin Ran was very tempted by Shi Yan's proposal.

To her, the bicycle is a modern wonder, like the sewing machine or the telephone.

She must be interested.

Although she doesn't know how to ride a bike, she can learn.

But when she thought about the fact that her family had just bought a sewing machine, Lin Ran hesitated.

If he buys another bicycle, he will be in trouble even without Jia Yongchang's help.

After all, it is a crime to possess a treasure, and it has been like this since ancient times!

Her family had no apparent income at all, only the work points settled at the end of the year.

Thinking of this, Lin Ran's rationality prevailed and he shook his head to reject it.

"Let's wait a little longer. I don't have many opportunities to use my bike right now anyway."

When Shi Yan thought about it carefully, he could understand Lin Ran's concerns.

Then he advised:

"Then you can just put the blame on me. After all, I'm from Beijing. Others will just say a few sour words at most, and they probably won't suspect anything."

"That's even worse!

I already borrowed your name to buy the sewing machine. If I let you buy a bicycle, will our Lin family's reputation still be in jeopardy?"

Others would probably say anything nasty, and might even ask whether the Lin family is marrying off their daughter or selling her.

The most important thing is that she and Shi Yan are not married yet.

Shi Yan also understood Lin Ran's meaning and immediately struck while the iron was hot:

"Why don't we get married soon? I'm happy to buy the betrothal gifts. There won't be any gossip, will there?"

Lin Ran saw through Shi Yan's little thoughts at a glance and glared at him unhappily.

"You're dreaming! Am I going to sell myself just for a bicycle?

Then you should keep this bicycle for yourself!"

The plan failed, Shi Yan was a little disappointed, and couldn't help but hold Lin Ran's hand.

"Then Ranran, when will you marry me?"

Lin Ran quickly pulled back her hand and snorted.

"So you brought up the bicycle on purpose, but you have other intentions!"

"I'm really wronged about this. I said that at first because I really felt sorry for you."

Shi Yan felt really wronged this time.

He didn't buy the bicycle, his proposal was rejected, and now he's even misunderstood by Ranran.

The two of them talked and laughed all the way, and they walked a lot faster unconsciously.

However, although Lin Ran decided not to buy a bicycle for the time being, she still kept this matter in mind.

She is not short of money, what she lacks now is the opportunity to pay it.

It seems like it's time to find a way to let my brothers make money.

In fact, she has considered the future development of her three older brothers.

At present, Lin Laosan does not have to worry because he still doesn’t know the results of his application to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.

As for Lin Lao Da and Lin Lao Er, they only attended primary school and have low cultural education, so they will definitely not be able to make a living in this field in the future.

The best way now is to go to the city to work as a worker and learn a skill.

In this way, when the economy opens up in a few years, you can go out on your own.

Moreover, working as workers now can help relieve some of the pressure at home.

This way, you will have an excuse to eat better or buy something big at home in the future.

Shi Yan saw that Lin Ran kept her head down and didn't speak, so she asked curiously:

"What are you thinking about?"

Lin Ran finally came to his senses and told the truth.

"I'm thinking about whether I should get my eldest and second brothers into the factory."

"Isn't this simple? Once this matter is resolved, shouldn't Director Wei reward me with two job openings?"

Shi Yan said it as if it was a matter of course.

Lin Ran just woke up from a dream.

"That's right. If you hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten that I could ask for a reward."

Then Boss Lin and the others’ work should be a done deal, and I don’t have to spend any more effort on it.

Seeing this, Shi Yan couldn't help but argue again:

"What about my reward? How is Ranran going to reward me?"

Looking at Shi Yan's black eyes full of expectation, Lin Ran curled the corners of his lips.

"You want a reward?"

Shi Yan nodded fiercely.

"Here, I'll give it to you now!"

As she spoke, Lin Ran took out a square folded white handkerchief from her bag and handed it to Shi Yan.

Shi Yan was a little confused.

"Handkerchief?"

"Don't like it? Don't you just like holding my handkerchief?"

Lin Ran couldn't help but cover her lips and joke.

"Of course I like it..."

Although he really liked it, this was not the reward he wanted.

Seeing Shi Yan staring at her with resentful eyes, Lin Ran finally smiled unkindly.

Don’t think that she doesn’t know what Shi Yan wants, this lecher, hum… don’t even think about it!

…

Although the two of them were joking along the way, they did not forget their business.

As soon as they arrived in the county town, the two got straight to the point.

They planned to go to Jia Yongchang's house first to find out the truth.

This may be difficult for Shi Yan, but it is not difficult for Lin Ran.

I thought the metal detector she bought last time was useless.

I didn't expect it to come in handy again.

The two of them performed the whole act and even went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy two bags of peach cakes to take with them.

After all, this time they were going to visit Zheng Sanya under the pretext of visiting her.

Of course, Lin Ran really wanted to take this opportunity to visit Zheng Sanya.

I don’t know how San Ya is doing now.

Because both of them had good temperaments and were holding peach cakes in their hands, they really looked like they were visiting relatives.

So there was no obstruction all the way into the family compound.

There was even a kind-hearted fat aunt who brought Lin Ran and the others directly to the door of the Jia family.

Lin Ran stuffed a handful of White Rabbit candy into her mouth as a thank you.
