Time quickly came to the day of the social gathering. It happened to be a weekend, and Jianshu was on holiday, so he rested at home.

The social gathering was scheduled for the evening at the auditorium of the machinery factory.

Jianshu saw through the planner's tricks at a glance.

What a wonderful evening! The two of them are attracted to each other. Should they deepen their relationship?

The woman has to go home, but it's getting late. It's already dark outside. Isn't this the opportunity? Can't the man take her home?

It was a dark and windy night, and no one disturbed them. The two of them walked side by side, their faces maybe even blushing. Just a glance at each other could make their eyes jealous and their hearts beat fast. An ambiguous atmosphere spread between them, which could deepen their feelings!

The distance between the machinery factory and the courtyard was not far; it only took 20 minutes to get there by bike. After all, there was a worker from the machinery factory next door. If it were too far, how could the third son of the Chen family live there? It would be so inconvenient to commute to work.

However, Jianshu couldn't leave directly from home, she had to go to the department store to pick up Pan Ning.

Pan Ning doesn't have a day off today. If the social gathering wasn't in the evening, she wouldn't be able to go unless she asked for leave.

Jianshu was very grateful for these things. Fortunately, it was at night and Pan Ning had no reason to refuse. If it was at another time, Jianshu might not be able to get her wish and let Pan Ning accompany her.

Of course, getting Pan Ning to agree to attend the social gathering wasn't easy. Unlike Li Li, Pan Ning wasn't easily fooled. To get her to agree, Jian Shu had to go through a series of extraordinary agreements, the arduous journey of which is beyond the pale of public understanding.

Fortunately, the final result was good, and Jianshu didn't care too much about those conditions. Anyway, it was better than attending the social gathering alone.

At 5:30 in the afternoon, Jianshu rode his bike from home, ready to pick up Pan Ning and then head to the machinery factory auditorium.

Pan Ning doesn't have a bicycle, so Jianshu has to be picked up and dropped off by car today.

Nowadays, few people have bicycles before getting married. Not to mention the money, a bicycle costs more than 100 yuan, and an ordinary worker has to save for three to five months without eating or drinking, not to mention the tickets, which are not easy to get.

So a bicycle is one of the three major items, and most of them are used as wedding gifts and dowries. Isn’t that how Li Li got her bicycle?

Even if the family can afford to buy a bicycle before marriage, every family has multiple children. Who should be given the bicycle and who should be left out? Unequal distribution can easily lead to problems.

Unless you are like Jianshu, your family is rich and has few children, so you can afford it.

In an age where people rely on their legs for transportation, bicycles are really convenient. Now, Jian Shu and Li Li both have bicycles, which makes it very convenient for them to go out together.

Unlike before, only Jianshu had a bicycle among the three, and their riding skills were not enough for them to carry two people at the same time, so every time they went out to play, they could only walk and basically did not dare to go too far.

Now it’s okay, I can go wherever I want without any worries.

The social gathering started at six in the evening. Jianshu and Pan Ning were just going through the motions, so they didn't plan to go there too early.

Go later, stay a little longer, and then leave early, today's social gathering will be over, Jianshu can shut Sister Liu up, and we can have a quiet day.

The same goes for Pan Ning. One of the important reasons why she was willing to accompany Jianshu to participate was that she could no longer bear the pressure from her parents.

It just so happened that Jianshu was going to attend a social gathering, so she reluctantly agreed and took the opportunity to blackmail Jianshu, forcing him to sign a number of unequal treaties.

Regardless of whether she can find a partner this time, she will have to explain to her parents when she returns.

When they arrived at the department store, they saw Pan Ning waiting at the door. Seeing Pan Ning dressed no differently from her usual work attire, Jianshu smiled.

Ever since the news spread that a group of military officers would join the fraternity, the single female workers in the department store were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood. They were waiting to make a splash at the fraternity and find a good partner.

These past two days, there has been a large line-up of employees from other units of the company at the ready-made clothing counter, all of whom are planning to buy new clothes to wear at the social gathering.

The sales of ready-made clothes counters have increased a lot. Normally, apart from some unmarried young people who love beauty, no one is willing to buy ready-made clothes.

For the same price, it is much more cost-effective to buy fabric and make it at home. A thrifty housewife will not do business at a loss.

Of course, there is definitely no one from Jianshu and Pan Ning among the people queuing. They don’t even have time to hide, so how could they possibly dress up?

Sure enough, both of them were wearing ordinary clothes today, and their overall attire was no different from their usual work attire.

Although I didn't plan to dress up too nicely, it was impossible for me to look ugly.

After seeing Jianshu, Pan Ning quickly waved his hand.

Jianshu was seen drifting on his bicycle, and the vehicle under his butt stopped steadily in front of Pan Ning.

She supported herself on one foot and winked at Pan Ning proudly. Although her legs were short and she was supporting herself on the steps, it did not affect her momentum at all.

"Let's go quickly. Don't let anyone see us. If Sister Liu knew I wore this to the social gathering, they would definitely nag me again tomorrow.

My ears are almost calloused these days, I really can't stand it anymore." Jian Shu said anxiously.

Pan Ning was also quite cooperative and sat directly in the back seat.

As soon as Pan Ning sat down, Jianshu started pedaling the bicycle.

The two of them left the department store and started walking towards the machinery factory auditorium.

Jianshu is now very strong and has good endurance. Carrying someone on the back of a bicycle is no big deal.

The two chatted along the way, as they were not in a hurry. In this way, they leisurely walked all the way to the entrance of the machinery factory.
