"Wow... Brother Zhengzi, how much did you spend on this rickshaw?"
Several villagers had arrived early in the open courtyard, all there for the old-fashioned bicycle.
Life in the village was dull and boring, so even the slightest thing felt incredibly exciting.
Although the 28-inch bicycle is not as rare as a motorcycle, it is not something that every household can afford. A decent 28-inch bicycle costs nearly 200 yuan, and it would take a city dweller with a salary half a year to afford one, let alone farmers who have no income and can only save a little money by farming all year round.
So when they saw Ye Yun ride back on a bicycle, several neighbors curiously followed her into their homes.
Tian Xiaohui was also there.
She stared curiously at the rickshaw, looking it up and down. When she heard the man next to her ask how much it cost, she scoffed, "Er Danzi, why are you asking that? As if you could afford it?"
"Hey? Tian Xiaohui, don't look down on me. Once my crops are harvested, I might actually be able to afford it!" Erdanzi said, patting his chest.
Tian Xiaohui rolled her eyes and spat, "Pah! The weeds in your field are almost as tall as you, what kind of good harvest can you expect!"
"You you you you..."
Erdanzi was so angry with Tian Xiaohui that he raised his hand and pointed at her tremblingly, his face flushed but he couldn't utter a single bad word.
"What's all the noise about?"
Qin Zheng was washing his face when he glanced at Erdan with particular disdain. How come they can argue about everything? You've always been unable to win an argument with Tian Xiaohui since you were little, yet you always rush in headfirst. You're so stubborn!
Erdanzi shut his mouth in annoyance after being told off.
Tian Xiaohui also let out a cold snort.
The two turned their heads away and ignored each other like sworn enemies.
"Qin Zheng, how much did you pay for this rickshaw? I want to buy one too. Da Bao is in junior high school and has to run to town, which is quite a hardship. I can buy a rickshaw so I can take him there!" Da Bao's father asked sincerely after teasing Er Dan and Tian Xiao Hui.
Qin Zheng calmly finished washing his face.
His face was still wet with water droplets. Ye Yun soaked a towel in cool water, wrung it out, and handed it to him. "Wipe your sweat first, and wipe your neck too."
"Hey, wife." Qin Zheng took the towel, wiped his face, and then wiped his sweaty neck.
The cool towel felt refreshing on his neck, and he let out a sigh of relief before saying, "I don't know how much it cost; my wife bought it."
Ye Yun?
Upon hearing Ye Yun's name, Tian Xiaohui immediately fell silent, like a wilted eggplant.
Several other gazes were directed at Ye Yun.
Ye Yun smiled and confidently held up one finger, saying, "170."
One hundred and seventy!
Upon hearing the price, everyone gasped in shock.
One hundred and seventy, almost a year's harvest!
"The shopkeeper has some cheaper ones, not the Phoenix brand, I think it's 150. You can buy some for Da Bao first. These things get cheaper as time goes on, they're only expensive when they first come out!" Ye Yun said kindly.
Da Bao's father quickly waved his hand and said, "No need, no need, let's forget about it!"
He doesn't seem to care that much about the child.
At this moment, Qin Xiang'e hurriedly entered the house covered in dust. When she saw the old bicycle in the yard, she slapped her thigh in delight.
"Zhengzi? You really bought a foreign car?"
She ran to the car, touching the handlebars and the seat with great affection, heaven knows how precious these things are!
"Why did you bring back such a big thing without saying a word?"
Qin Zheng chuckled.
"Aunt, you're back." He pondered, thinking about how to tell Qin Xiang'e this surprise.
At this point, the bystanders started to jeer.
"Auntie, Qin Zheng and his wife bought this for you. Take a look and see what you think!"
“Zhengzi’s wife said this car costs 170 yuan, and I wouldn’t even buy one for my own father! But Zhengzi and his wife are willing to buy one for you! You haven’t spoiled your nephew for nothing!”
