Lai Leshi ran into the living room and said, "Auntie Tiantian, Uncle Jingze is here. He came on a tricycle, not the one you were riding just now."
Why is Lai Lok-shi interested in tricycles? It's because she's been traveling in cars since she was born. She can count the number of times she's taken the bus on one hand, but she's never ridden a tricycle, and the number of times she's ridden a motorcycle isn't that many either.
A few people walked out and saw that the tricycle Lai Leshi mentioned was a small human-powered tricycle.
The bike's overall shape is a small, compact rectangular block, its frame welded from black-painted metal tubes, giving it a cold, hard sheen yet a sturdy, durable feel. The handlebars are simple, slightly curved metal rods with black rubber grips at each end, lightly scuffed by time.
The seat was a black, slightly sunken piece of artificial leather, its edges fixed to the metal frame with silver rivets. The springs underneath, though somewhat slack, still managed to hold it in place. The cargo bed was located at the rear, surrounded on three sides by a low metal fender painted mottled red.
The car was parked in the yard, not far from the front door of the house.
When Su Tiantian came here, she was riding an electric tricycle that could carry two people (three people including the driver). Liu Jingze is now riding a small human-powered tricycle that can carry goods. The two are indeed different.
Su Tiantian asked curiously: "Brother Jing, where did you find a tricycle like this?"
Liu Jingze said: "Your aunt's, Zhibiao's."
Su Tiantian said, "If you don't want to drive, just walk here. Riding a tricycle won't be much faster."
Liu Jingze's forehead was already covered with sweat. He pulled Su Tiantian into the living room and called out, "Senior, Yi Yi."
He Yiyuan picked up Lai Leshi and said, "Brother Jingze, you're here."
He Xinyu said: "Jingze's way of making an appearance is great. I have never ridden a human-powered tricycle like this before."
As soon as Liu Jingze sat down on the mahogany sofa, Su Tiantian immediately took a tissue to wipe the sweat off his face.
Yun Suiyang picked up a bottle of mineral water and asked, "Mr. Liu, would you like some water?"
Liu Jingze said, "Okay."
Yun Suiyang immediately unscrewed the bottle cap and handed it to Liu Jingze.
Su Tiantian stopped wiping her sweaty hands, and Liu Jingze drank several sips of water.
Lai Leshi, who was sitting on He Yiyuan's lap, asked, "Uncle Jingze, you look very tired."
Liu Jingze smiled and said, "I'm not too tired, but I've been really busy these past two days."
Su Tiantian seemed to have thought of something, so she asked, "Brother Jing, are you riding this tricycle to deliver something or to buy something?"
Liu Jingze said: "Tiantian, you are so smart. You can guess it like this."
Su Tiantian said, "I just forgot to think of it. If you want to cross this way, you can walk. If you want to go faster, Dad and Zhihao's motorcycles are at home. You can drive them. The tricycle you are riding now is suitable for carrying things."
Liu Jingze unbuttoned his sleeves and rolled them up as he said, "My uncle's house was demolished and they're building a new one. You know, my father asked me to take some things to the place he rented. There's a long alley there, too small for a car to fit in, so Zhibiao asked me to take his tricycle."
Su Tiantian said: "Zhibiao, Zhibiao, you can call me Zhibiao in private, but you should call me Third Brother in front of some people."
Liu Jingze said nonchalantly, "I just called Yiqian by his name, and some people said I was impolite and told him to call me second cousin."
Su Tiantian said, "Who said that? Hey, my second cousin is here. Just go to his house and let him get it himself. It's too much trouble for you. I'll talk to him next time."
Su Tiantian felt sorry for her brother Jing.
At this time, Liu Jingze suddenly stood up and picked up Su Tiantian who was sitting next to him. He looked at Su Tiantian with tenderness in his eyes: "It doesn't matter who says that about me, it's just gossip. Yiqian doesn't have to work because he is holding his precious daughter Rourou. It's because my sister Tiantian was not here at the time. Otherwise, they wouldn't have asked me to work."
Su Tiantian looked at the people in the living room and felt a little embarrassed: "Brother Jing, put me down first."
Lai Leshi clapped her hands and said, "Uncle Jingze is as strong as my dad. My dad can also pick up my mom in one go. He said that if he had to go to the hospital for emergency, he would be strong enough to pick up my wife."
Su Tiantian simply put her arms around Liu Jingze's neck and buried her head in him: "I don't want my husband to carry me to the emergency room."
He Yiyuan said: "No one wants to, but Fourth Brother Lai has been a little nervous recently. He said that even though it's not his first time being a father, he's still nervous."
Liu Jingze put Su Tiantian down, and the two of them sat back on the mahogany sofa. He asked, "Have you finished discussing your business?"
He Xinyu said: "The discussion is over. Whether it succeeds or not, I want to thank Mr. Liu and you first."
Liu Jingze's brows were slightly cold as he said, "Actually, I'm interested in everything about competing with Cai Bifei for orders. I'll keep an eye on him from now on."
He Yiyuan and He Xinyu smiled knowingly. They were also interested. The three of them had a common enemy.
Lai Leshi said with anticipation, "Auntie Tiantian, I want to ride a tricycle. I haven't ridden one before."
Su Tiantian tugged at Liu Jingze's sleeve. She wanted to agree to Lai Leshi, but only if Liu Jingze agreed. After all, she had never driven a tricycle before.
Liu Jingze said, "We still have some time. We can drive the tricycle around the village. Tiantian and I need to show up before tea. I asked Zhibiao to give me a little advance notice. But there's only one electric tricycle, and it can only carry two people."
Lai Leshi said, "You can drive, right? It's just right for you to take me and Aunt Tiantian with you."
He Yiyuan said excitedly: "I also want to go shopping. I don't want to go back to the company."
He Xinyu said unwillingly, "Me too. It's just right for me to take a half-day break."
Liu Jingze said: "Then you can take an electric car or a motorcycle. I will arrange it immediately."
The electric tricycle was bought because Grandma Lu liked it. Thinking that she would be in the village for the next two days, she might as well drive it there. Not many people in the village have this kind of electric tricycle that can carry people, but electric cars and motorcycles are easy to find.
Liu Jingze was driving an electric tricycle, with Su Tiantian and Lai Leshi sitting in the back, both wearing seatbelts. The tricycle wasn't going very fast, slowly gliding along the village's rural road (no longer a small path). A gentle breeze blew, and sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on them. It was quite romantic.
Liu Jingze thought to himself, if only there were no light bulbs, he could enjoy this leisure time with his sister Tiantian. But there was more than just Lai Leshi.
