Chu Xin'er nodded in sudden realization: "Ah! I see! But this bicycle is so broken, can it still be repaired?"

"If your brother says it's possible, then it definitely is!"

"Alright, bro, I'll trust you this once."

Chu Yan said calmly, "Do you need to believe me? It's enough that your sister-in-law believes me."

"Yes, yes, yes, as long as you have the ability to fix this bicycle, I, as your younger sister, will admit defeat and forgive you, you scumbag brother, this once!"

Chu Xin'er gave Chu Yan the middle finger.

I learned this from Xu Yao, who said that foreigners like to use this gesture to express their dissatisfaction and contempt.

This time, Chu Xin'er also wanted to try something fashionable.

Several days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Thanks to Chu Yan's tireless efforts, the bicycle was finally repaired.

Chu Xin'er looked at the bicycle, which had been repaired to almost new condition, and was utterly amazed.

"Damn, bro, your skill level is amazing, incredible!"

Chu Xin'er could hardly compare the bicycle in front of her to the dilapidated one from before.

Is this really the same car? Are you sure you didn't buy a used one on the black market?

Chu Yan glanced at Chu Xin'er indifferently: "How is it?"

"Okay, okay, I apologize for my boastful words before. Bro, you're really amazing! Now I can drive Mom to school with me!"

Chu Xin'er circled the bicycle, touching and looking at it, seemingly unable to put it down.

Although Ye Nian'an and Chu Yan bought a new bicycle that the whole family could use, sometimes Chu Yan had to deliver food to Ye Nian'an, so it wasn't needed.

With so many people, all of whom need to go to work, one bicycle is simply not enough.

Now it's different. With two bicycles, as long as we arrange things a little, there's basically no situation where someone else uses the bicycle when I need it.

Seeing how much Chu Xin'er loved it, Chu Yan and Ye Nian'an exchanged a smile.

"It's fixed? Wow, it looks beautiful."

Hearing the noise, Chi Xinyao came out of the house and said happily.

Ye Nian'an nestled close to Chu Yan and said with a grin, "Yes, Brother Yan is so skillful, he's really amazing."

Chu Yan's eyes couldn't hide his doting affection: "I want to prove that the man you married was definitely the right one."

Chi Xinyao couldn't help but purse her lips and chuckle to herself.

Seeing how well the young couple got along, I felt relieved.

Chu Xin'er had no time to witness her brother and sister-in-law's public display of affection. She had already ridden her bicycle, tested it out, and after confirming that the bicycle was working properly, she waved to Chi Xinyao.

"Mom, come on up! I'll give you a ride for a spin!"

"You silly girl, I'm still cooking, how can I have time to go crazy with you?"

Ye Nian'an spoke up, "It's alright, Mom. I'll keep an eye on the pit. You and Xin'er go try out the bicycle. If there are any problems, just let me know and let Brother Yan fix it."

"This will make it easier for you to go to school tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Chi Xinyao thought about it carefully and felt that Ye Nian'an made sense. She nodded and said, "That makes sense... then I'll trouble you, Nian'an."

Everyone in the educated youth settlement was incredibly envious as they watched Chi Xinyao and Chu Xin'er ride their new bicycles out.

One new bicycle was bad enough, but now there's one more...

In addition, the Chu family usually eats quite well, so who wouldn't feel envious and jealous?

In the past, the Chu family's lavish spending easily aroused suspicion.

However, now Chu Zhenyuan and Chu Yan, two strong men, have earned full work points, while Chi Xinyao, Chu Xin'er, and Ye Nian'an are on government payrolls.

These five people are all salaried workers and skilled at earning work points, so it's normal that they can afford these things.

The male educated youths who spent all their time hovering around Jiang Nuan were extremely envious when they saw this scene.

One of the male educated youths said, "Sigh, if only I hadn't gone to the countryside. My brother stayed in the city, and the family bought him a bicycle and a watch. They're preparing him to get married."

"I'm still stuck in this godforsaken place, I don't know when I'll be able to go back..."

Another male educated youth quickly spoke up: "Hey, are you crazy? How dare you say such a thing? This is a major event for young activists in response to the national call. Be careful if someone hears this, or you'll be in trouble."

"Haven't you thought about it? Do you think you're so high and mighty? Your brother is getting old, your family must be preparing to find him a match."

"I……"

The male educated youth who was rebuked was speechless for a moment.

Who wouldn't want that?

The key question is, when will we be able to go back?

If the college entrance examination is reinstated, there will still be some hope...

Jiang Nuan then appeared and urged, "What are you doing here? It's almost time to eat."

"oh oh."

Just as the male educated youth were getting ready to go inside for a meal, several people suddenly arrived.

"Huh? Those people look a bit unfamiliar, who are they?"

"The one leading the group looks like the principal of Liangtian Township Elementary School!"

Principal Meng Yi wore black-rimmed glasses, a faded shirt and trousers, and was in his forties. His skin was tanned dark, and his eyes were lined with wrinkles, clearly indicating that he had experienced many ups and downs.

Upon arriving at the Chu family's gate, they saw Ye Nian'an tending the fire, with Chu Yan assisting him. They greeted him warmly, "Comrade Ye Nian'an! Comrade Chu Yan!"

Ye Nian'an and the others looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Principal Meng. They immediately smiled and said, "Principal Meng, what wind blew you here?"
