Chapter 56 Second-hand Bicycles

After the spring ploughing, the workload is not so heavy. Each group of people can finish the day's work by chatting and laughing, and can even leave work early.

On this day, Li Ruolan and Deng Minghao went out wearing straw hats, and then they saw Lu Yunxiao and Qin Wan, also wearing straw hats.

The two of them are so sweet and sticky, and as someone who has been through this, one can tell at a glance that these two have achieved their goal.

"When will the banquet be held?" Li Ruolan walked over, looked at Qin Wan with a teasing expression, and winked at her.

Qin Wan patted Li Ruolan's butt speechlessly: "I went to the captain to get a certificate yesterday, and we will go to the town to get the marriage certificate this afternoon.

After a few days when it’s time to rest, we’ll hold a banquet at the educated youth camp, and we’ll ask Deng Zhiqing to be the chef.”

Deng Minghao nodded mysteriously: "Sure, sure, but hiring a chef is not cheap."

Lu Yunxiao walked over and put his hand on Deng Minghao's shoulder. The two of them were about the same height, and Deng Minghao was only about 1.78 meters tall.

During this period of time, I did a lot of work in the countryside, drank spiritual spring water, and ate a lot and well. Now I am in my twenties, and my weight has really soared.

He is now about 1.83 meters tall. Lu Yunxiao is slightly taller than Deng Minghao, probably about 1.85 meters tall.

"How about a whole sheep? Now is a good time to catch goats. I'll take you to catch one in two days." Lu Yunxiao said.

Deng Minghao had no resistance to mutton: "Deal."

As they went to work in the fields, they soon attracted the attention of all the members of the Victory Brigade. Everyone stared at Lu Yunxiao in surprise.

Watching him walk like a normal person, his face was full of surprise and disbelief.

"Yunxiao, is your leg okay? Didn't you say you couldn't stand up?" An old man looked at Lu Yunxiao's legs and was quite excited.

Lu Yunxiao is very popular in the village. After all, he is a veteran. But after Lu Yunxiao injured his leg, he has not worked since then. He usually does not go out except going up the mountain.

Therefore, no one knew what kind of anger Lu Yunxiao suffered at home.

Lu Yunxiao smiled and nodded: "My wife cured me. She made medicine for me every day and also made plasters for me.

It took me more than six months, and now I can stand up. We will go to the town hospital for another checkup this afternoon."

The two spoke in low voices, but everyone was looking at them. When they heard that Lu Yunxiao's leg was cured by Qin Wan, they were even more surprised.

The old man turned around and looked at Qin Wan: "Girl, did you really cure Yunxiao's leg? Do you know any medical skills?"

Qin Wan smiled and nodded: "My grandfather was an old Chinese doctor, but he passed away when I was in my teens. I grew up with my grandfather when I was a child and learned a little bit of it.

I just happened to know how to treat this kind of bone injury, so I just wanted to give it a try, but I didn’t expect it to actually work.”

"Okay! Okay! Yunxiao is so lucky to have a wife like you. When are you going to have the wedding banquet? You must invite me, an old man, to have a drink then."

Lu Yunxiao responded with a smile.

Lu Yunxiao's leg was healed, and it was Qin Wan and Qin Zhiqing who cured him. This news quickly spread throughout the brigade.

Li Yingying looked at Lu Yunxiao's tall figure and her teeth were almost broken.

She, Qin Wan, Li Ruolan and others were all educated youth from the same group. Among these girls, her family situation was the worst.

Li Yingying had always been bullied at home, so she felt very unbalanced. When she knew that Qin Wan was going to marry a cripple, she felt that she had finally turned the tables.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yunxiao's leg would actually get better one day. Li Yingying looked at Qin Wan's smiling face and felt a bad feeling in her heart.

Li Ruoju stayed by Li Yingying's side the whole time. Seeing that she was in a bad mood, she said nothing, but a hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes.

The Lu family soon got the news. Old Mrs. Lu even ran over to take a look. When she saw that Lu Yunxiao's leg was really healed, she ran back.

Qin Wan glanced at Old Lady Lu's back. Now that Lu Yunxiao had severed ties with the Lu family, if they dared to come and beg for money again, Qin Wan would never let them go.

In the afternoon, Lu Yunxiao and Qin Wan went to the town to get their marriage certificate. When they came back, they rode a bicycle, which attracted the attention of the members of the Victory Brigade.

Although if you look closely, this bicycle is not new, it is a bit old and has scratches, but it is still a bicycle. In the entire Victory Brigade, only the captain's family and the accountant's family have it.

"How did he still have money to buy a bicycle?"

"Didn't they say that they would take back the job of the eldest brother of the Lu family? Now that his leg is healed, he can probably go to work in the transportation team."

"Maybe he sold his job. I heard that a job can be sold for several hundred dollars."

"At first I thought Qin Zhiqing was stupid. Such a nice girl actually found a cripple. Now I realize that although Lu Yunxiao is crippled, he is rich!"

Many people were grumbling, but there was one thing that everyone understood, that was that Lu Yunxiao and Qin Wan had money.

Deng Minghao looked around the bicycle twice and asked Lu Yunxiao: "Where did you get the bicycle?"

Lu Yunxiao said: "My comrade-in-arms bought it. Her family was going to move to another place. They had two cars to sell, and I bought one of them.

There is another one at home waiting to be sold. Do you want it? If you want it, I will go and ask for you. "

Deng Minghao turned around and glanced at Li Ruolan, who also leaned over to take a look: "So how much money do you want, comrades?"

Lu Yunxiao said: "Seventy, we bought this one for sixty yuan."

A new 28-inch bicycle costs about 120 yuan, and a second-hand one that looks good costs 60 yuan, which is quite worth it.

But Li Ruolan was a little hesitant. If she really bought it, then the fact that they had money would be known to the public, and Li Ruoju was still watching closely.

If she knew that she and Deng Minghao had money, who knows what trouble she would cause.

She really didn't want to have anything to do with Li Ruoju, so she was hesitant for a moment.

At this time, Shen Yi and Ji Hongjun came over and said, "Let's buy it. We'll pay half of the money and buy it together. Then we'll put the bicycle at your house and whoever needs it can ride it."

Shen Yi and Ji Hongjun really wanted to buy bicycles, and some of them were usable, but most of the money they had was exchanged for food and cotton-padded jackets and quilts and sent to the cowshed.

They didn't have the spare money to buy a bicycle, but they could afford to partner with Deng Minghao and others to buy a second-hand one.

When Deng Minghao heard it, he agreed directly, then Shen Yiji Hongjun went back to get the money, and Lu Yunxiao took Deng Minghao to the town again.

In the middle of the night, the two of them came back, each riding a bicycle.
