Chapter 71 Finally Bought It



Moreover, her willingness to give up her work to her family twice in a row proves that she is very confident in her abilities!

And believe in yourself, you will definitely find your next job.

Huang Qinqin: (╥_╥) It's not that she's overly confident in her abilities, but rather that she has absolutely no understanding of the difficulty of finding a job!

Not long after graduating, Huang Qinqin encountered her first job recruitment and passed it smoothly. However, since it was a factory job, she felt it would be difficult for her to stick with it, so she gave it to her older brother.

Not long after, the steel mill faced a shortage of workers due to increased orders and held a second round of recruitment, which she passed again. However, she was still assigned to the workshop, so she gave the job to her second brother.

At that time, Huang Qinqin had the illusion that finding a job wasn't that difficult. In addition, she also received payment for her articles, so if you really thought about it, she might have earned more than the average factory worker.

She simply didn't value the two jobs much because there were fewer tickets available. It wasn't until she kept looking that she realized how rare and lucky the two jobs she had found were.

...

Back at the Xu family home, after having dinner, they sat for a while before heading home, as they planned to return to their hometown the next day to tell them that Huang Qinqin was getting married.

So they'll have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative again later.

Before leaving, Chen Zhaodi instructed Xu Junhui, "Junhui, remember to check if the tickets we just gave you are enough. If the state-run restaurant doesn't have enough, remember to tell us and we'll find someone to exchange some."

"Don't be shy about speaking up, okay?"

Before Xu Junhui could answer, Zhang Yumei interjected, "How could it not be enough? You've given so many tickets; at a glance, it's clear there are at least six or seven jin of meat tickets. That's definitely enough for five tables!"

"There might be some left over. If it's really not enough, we'll definitely let you know."

Hearing this, Chen Zhaodi felt relieved. Since they had previously reported the number of banquet tables and had not seen Xu Junhui come to ask how much money or tickets he needed, they simply brought all the meat tickets they had today.

Anyway, let's focus on the banquet first. This month is almost over, and I'll get paid soon. Then I'll have more meat coupons.

As for the other meat tickets, they were obtained by exchanging other tickets or money directly, and they didn't need to return them.

On the way to the supply and marketing cooperative, Huang Eryuan kept muttering to himself, "When I came over this morning, I forgot to go in and check if there were any bicycles before I left. That was so wrong of me..."

"It looks the same whether it looks this morning or now. We'll be at the supply and marketing cooperative soon. What's yours is yours. You can't wait at the supply and marketing cooperative 24 hours a day, can you?"

"Besides, there might not even be any bicycles available today. I never noticed before that bicycles were in such short supply. No wonder not many people in the entire residential compound have one."

......

As soon as Huang Eryuan entered the supply and marketing cooperative, he went straight to the bicycle parking area, familiar with the place. Chen Zhaodi ignored him and went with Huang Qinqin to buy the things they wanted to take back.

It's inconvenient to buy things in the village. Every time we go out, we have to wait for the production team's oxcart, or we have to walk.

It takes at least two hours to walk from the production team to the supply and marketing cooperative, and that's only because the Huang family lives closest to the city. For the families in the innermost part of the same production team, it takes more than three hours to walk there.

So usually when Chen Zhaodi and the others went back, they would bring back some daily necessities, such as salt, sugar, and some biscuits. If they had a lot of cloth ration coupons, they would occasionally buy some cloth to take back with them.

Just after buying some cookies and sponge cake, Chen Zhaodi saw Huang Eryuan running over excitedly.

"Wife! Mother of the child! I'm pregnant! I'm pregnant!"

Huang Eryuan excitedly shouted to Chen Zhaodi.

Chen Zhaodi was stunned by his words. What? She's pregnant? Who's pregnant? She's pregnant? ???

She blurted out, "Who's pregnant? I'm not pregnant!"

After she finished speaking, the entire supply and marketing cooperative fell silent. Huang Qinqin and her siblings all turned their attention to Chen Zhaodi's belly.

The same thought kept running through my mind: They're going to have a younger brother or sister?! Wow, Dad's amazing!

The other customers at the supply and marketing cooperative also looked at Chen Zhaodi with disbelief. Those people next to her must be her children, right?

You already have two sons, and they're all so big already, why are you having another one?

Huang Eryuan finally realized what Chen Zhaodi had said, and blushed as he shouted, "I meant we have bicycles! What are you thinking!"

Chen Zhaodi finally realized she'd made a fool of herself. She knew it! How could she possibly be pregnant?! Hehehe...

Unable to stay any longer, he instructed Huang Qinqin, "Hey, honey, go buy some brown sugar. Your second cousin's wife is pregnant and will be giving birth soon. Buy some brown sugar so she can nourish herself during her postpartum period."

After saying that, he went to buy a bicycle with Huang Eryuan. There was no other way; Huang Eryuan had originally planned to buy one on the spot as soon as he found that bicycles were in stock.

He reached into his pocket and discovered that he only had bicycle tickets on him; all his money was with Chen Zhaodi. He had no choice but to go find Chen Zhaodi first.

Chen Zhaodi looked at the bicycle and thought that the new bike was different; it looked much better than the one they had borrowed!

Two vehicles arrived in total. They were actually quite similar in model, just different brands. Adhering to the belief that expensive meant good, they bought the more expensive Phoenix brand.

After paying, Huang Eryuan was so excited his hands were trembling slightly. He was overjoyed!

I've waited so long, I finally bought it!

He will own a car now, and he will be the first person in his village to own a bicycle.

The entire production brigade only had two bicycles, both of which were kept by the brigade cadres.

Although the production team said that anyone who needs a bicycle can borrow one, they only need to pay a 50-cent deposit.

However, very few people borrowed the bicycles, partly because many were afraid of damaging them and preferred to walk or take an oxcart.

Another reason is that many people simply don't know how to ride a bicycle.

Think about it, the whole brigade only had two bicycles. Many people saw bicycles for the first time in the production team.

They rarely even saw them, so how could they know how to ride them? Therefore, the production team's bicycles were mostly used by the brigade cadres, since they frequently needed to go to meetings at the commune.

After Huang Eryuan pushed his bicycle out the door, he invited Chen Zhaodi to get on.

"Come on, I'll take you home on my bike! Get on!"

Chen Zhaodi was a little scared. She had never ridden a bicycle before, and she didn't think she had ever seen Huang Eryuan ride a bicycle with someone on it.

She asked nervously, "Are you sure you can do it? I don't remember ever seeing you riding a bicycle with someone on the back."
