I had a meal at the factory canteen; the food was alright.

Lin Xue was then taken to Wang Guoqing's temporary dormitory.

There were several workers in the dormitory. Lin Xue greeted them and put down the things she had bought for Wang Guoqing.

Using the excuse that she felt a little uncomfortable, she pulled Wang Guoqing outside.

"Hey, do you know where I can buy a used bicycle for National Day? Preferably the kind that's been scrapped!"

The worse the condition of the bicycle, the cheaper it is, and Lin Xue naturally wanted to save some money.

"There's a recycling station up ahead, I remember seeing it there!"

Why are you asking this?

Wang Guoqing looked at Lin Xue with a puzzled expression, wondering why she was asking this.

"Then hurry up and take me there. You'll understand why later!"

Lin Xue pulled Wang Guoqing's hand, gesturing for him to hurry up.

With his hand pulled like that, Wang Guoqing's face immediately turned as red as a monkey's bottom.

Although they had been married for several years, this was the first time Lin Xue had ever taken his hand.

Moreover, this is on a busy street.

"Yes, I can walk by myself. Don't hold my hand. It wouldn't look good if someone saw us like that!"

Wang Guoqing felt that what he said was pretentious, but nowadays, people are very strict about conduct issues. Even married couples cannot get too close when walking on the street.

"Huh? Oh!"

Seeing Wang Guoqing's shy expression, Lin Xue immediately realized what was going on.

She almost forgot what era she was living in and quickly pulled her hand back.

The soft little hand slipped from his grasp, and Wang Guoqing felt a little empty inside.

"Then hurry up and lead the way, don't be late for work this afternoon!"

Wang Guoqing and his team only had an hour and a half to rest at noon, so time was very tight.

"We're almost there!"

Lin Xue had already seen it without Wang Guoqing saying it.

She quickly walked up and immediately saw two abandoned bicycles piled up to the side.

One car's frame was broken, while another bicycle's frame was intact, but the steel bars inside the wheels were severely broken and unusable.

Both bicycles had a problem with their handlebars, but it wasn't a big issue. Lin Xue felt she could straighten them with her strong hands.

"Grandpa, how much for these two scrapped bicycles?"

As soon as Lin Xue approached, she got straight to the point and asked.

"Young lady, why are you buying these two junk cars?"

"Let me tell you, neither of these bicycles is rideable. Look how badly they're broken!"

As the manager of the scrap yard, the old man had seen all kinds of people and immediately saw through Lin Xue's intentions.

"Grandpa, don't worry about it, just tell me how much you're willing to sell it for!"

Lin Xue didn't have time to waste with him and went straight to asking about the price.

"Ten yuan per vehicle, take them all if you want!"

Actually, 10 yuan was too much. He bought the two bicycles back for only 3 yuan.

However, these two bicycles were so badly damaged that they could not be repaired at all.

Lin Xue didn't care about any of that. She found some more parts at the scrap yard and paid for them along with the two bicycles.

"Guoqing, could I borrow your factory's welding equipment for a bit? I can pay you!"

Lin Xue glanced at the two bicycles; some parts were completely broken and there was no way to repair them.

Putting together one is not a problem, but keeping both is a bit difficult.

However, if you have a welding machine, you can find something else to weld this spot back on, and it can be reused.

"Master Chen has a welding machine. I'll go ask him if I can borrow it!"

In fact, in today's society, things are not lent out.

Wang Guoqing didn't have much hope of borrowing a welding machine, but in order not to disappoint Lin Xue, he still gritted his teeth and went to ask Master Chen.

A short while later, Wang Guoqing ran out of the machinery factory.

"Xue Ni, Master Chen agreed to lend us the welding machine, but he doesn't trust anyone else to operate it and insists on doing it himself!"

Wang Guoqing was quite surprised to be able to borrow the welding machine.

Master Chen truly appreciated his life-saving kindness; otherwise, who would have taken that risk?

"In that case, let's go!"

Lin Xue picked up the bicycle from the ground, slung the basket over her shoulder, and followed Wang Guoqing to the factory.

It's still after get off work hours, so there aren't many people in the factory.

When the two arrived at Master Chen's side, the factory was empty; no one else had arrived yet except for them.

"You must be Guoqing's wife. I wonder what you need this welding machine for?"

When Master Chen saw the two men carrying a broken bicycle in, he suddenly had a premonition.

"Hello Mr. Chen, thank you for taking care of my family during the National Day holiday. I'm so sorry to trouble you again today!"

When Lin Xue saw Master Chen, she quickly went over to him, looked at him with a firm and sincere gaze, and thanked him profusely.

"Sigh, why say all this? It's just a small favor!"

"Hurry up and tell me your purpose, otherwise it will be difficult for me to operate once the workers start work!"

Master Chen glanced at his watch and urged him on.

"Master Chen, look, this part of my bicycle is broken. Could you help me weld it?"

Lin Xue pointed out the broken parts on the two bicycles and showed them to Master Chen.

"These two bicycles are completely beyond repair; even if we weld them back together, they probably can't be fixed!"

Master Chen glanced at them and realized that the two bicycles were so dilapidated that they were beyond repair.
