Volume 1 Chapter 26 Buying two bicycles
Sheng Wanze was following behind with bags of various sizes, carrying things, and following the two distinguished women in the family.
There are two types of bicycles. One has a bar in the front, the 28-bar bicycle. This type of bicycle has a high body and is more suitable for men. There is also a 26-inch bicycle with a slash bar in the front, which can be ridden by both men and women.
“How much is this bicycle?”
The sweater salesperson looked up and glanced at Sheng's mother and Sheng Wanyan. Seeing that they were dressed neatly, she suddenly became more patient.
"110 for one bicycle, one bicycle ticket."
Sheng's mother nodded and ordered two on the spot. The salesperson thought there was something wrong with his ears.
"How much... do you want?"
"I want two!"
Without saying anything else, Sheng's mother took out the money and the ticket and placed them on the table. The salesperson quickly put down the wool and gave her a receipt, fearing that she would change her mind later.
"Which style do you want?"
The salesperson's tone became much gentler, and Sheng's mother pointed to the 26-inch one.
"Both of them are of this model?"
"right."
"Okay, I'll go to the warehouse and have someone pick up the goods for you."
The salesperson hurried to the warehouse to ask someone to take the goods out. Sheng Wanyan and Sheng's mother checked them before paying.
The salesperson counted the money, made sure there was no mistake, and put it in the drawer.
Sheng Wanyan and her mother each pushed a bicycle and left the supply and marketing cooperative.
Sheng Wanze saw the backs of the mother and daughter who were overwhelmed with joy, sighed, went back to the place where he sold bicycles, and bought two long chain locks.
When Sheng Wanze locked the long chain to the two of them, the mother and daughter finally reacted.
Don't ask. Even if you ask, neither of them will admit the mistakes they made.
Sheng Wanyan and her mother put some of the things they bought in the basket on the front of the car, and asked Sheng Wanze to take the rest back.
A family lived in a tube-shaped building and parked their bicycles downstairs. In an instant, the middle-aged women in the building surrounded them.
When Sheng Wanze saw this, he ran away quickly, put the things back home, and rode away on Gu Tingxiao's bicycle.
"Oh my god! The Sheng family bought two bicycles!"
"Oh my God! Isn't this too extravagant?"
"The Sheng family are all workers. Isn't it normal to buy two bicycles?"
"It's true that comparing yourself to others makes you angry."
The big guy touched her left and right, and the jealousy in his eyes was almost overflowing.
"Sheng's wife, why did you buy two?"
Everyone can't help but be curious. In this day and age when there are few entertainment options, gossip is the biggest way to kill time.
"My daughter and I use it at work."
While locking the car with a long chain, Sheng's mother answered their gossip questions.
"Then there's no need to buy two, that's a bad idea!"
Mother Li couldn't help but mutter a few words, and she could hardly hide the jealousy in her eyes when she saw the two bicycles.
Mother Sheng doesn't tolerate her and is trying to annoy someone with her sarcastic tone.
"Aren't there two of us, my daughter and I? Is there a problem with having two cars? It doesn't cost your family any money. If you have the time to be weird here, you might as well ask your sons to buy you one too."
Mother Sheng directly rubbed salt into Mother Li's body, saying that her sons could barely support the family, and yet they still said they would buy her a bicycle.
No matter how jealous Li's mother felt, she still had to save face and had to bite the bullet and confront Sheng's mother.
"What did I say wrong? Isn't this just a waste?"
“If you say so, then let everyone judge for themselves. I have two children.
This car of mine can be used as a dowry for my daughter in the future. I just bought it in advance so that I can use it for work. If I maintain it well, will there be any difference between it and a new one?
Isn’t my daughter contributing to the country by going to work? Besides, wouldn’t it be killing two birds with one stone and saving resources for the country? ”
Mother Sheng's words made everyone react.
Why didn’t they think of it!
Their family also bought one for daily use. In a few years, when their daughter gets married, this will be the perfect dowry!
Moreover, a lot of money can be saved, resources will not be wasted, and there will be no loss of face.
As long as it is well maintained, who would dislike such a large item?
This kills two birds with one stone, it couldn’t be better!
Why didn't they think of such a good idea before?
It turns out that the Sheng family is quick-witted, otherwise the whole family wouldn't be workers.
"What the Sheng family's wife said is right! Don't even mention how much money this will save!"
"That's right! This bicycle is a good one, who cares if it's second-hand!"
"That's right, the Sheng family is still quick-witted!"
When Mother Li heard this, her face turned extremely dark. The Sheng family was always like this, always suppressing her family in everything.
"Then you can't buy two. You don't have two daughters."
When Sheng's mother heard her words, she laughed angrily, and everyone looked at her with disgust.
Is this guy's brain not working well?
"My son is not a human being? I am not a human being? My husband is not a human being? My future daughter-in-law is not a human being? They don't have to go to work?"
What a stupid thing! She was afraid that if she said a few more words, her IQ would be lowered because of her infection.
"Did your son really find a partner?"
"Yes! The day your Xiaoze came back he said he had a girlfriend. Is that true or not?"
Everyone was so curious, and they wanted to see if their daughters still had a chance.
"Really? I'll be getting engaged tomorrow."
Sheng's mother didn't hide it, otherwise when she came over tomorrow and everyone saw it, she wouldn't know what to do with it.
"Oh my God! Is this true?"
"Where are you from? A worker?"
Mother Sheng didn't want to say much. These were all her future daughter-in-law's privacy, and she didn't want to bring them up and become the subject of conversation for others.
Li's mother rolled her eyes when she heard this: "I think it's from the village."
Mother Sheng was too lazy to pay attention to her and went upstairs with her things. Tomorrow, when her future daughter-in-law comes to visit, everyone will know what's going on.
Let the Li family daydream for one night, otherwise it would be bad if they get angry to death.
Sheng Wanyan held back her laughter and hurriedly followed. Mother Sheng could really be quite mean sometimes.
The mother and daughter returned home and put away the things they bought, while Sheng Wanyan processed the pig offal.
The whole family frowned in disgust when they saw this thing, it was so stinky!
It just so happened that everyone was far away from the kitchen, and there was some starch at home, so Sheng Wanyan poured some directly and started kneading the pig offal.
The more you rub it, the stronger the smell becomes. Fortunately, every household is cooking, which covers up the stench.
Sheng Wanyan rubbed it for half an hour before it was finally clean. Sheng's mother came in and smelled it. She found that the smell of pig offal was gone and became curious.
“Is this thing really edible?”
Mother Sheng was still unsure, so Sheng Wanyan answered her questions while cutting pig intestines.
"Yes, it tastes best with chili peppers."
"How do you get rid of this smell?"
"Rub it with starch. Rub it for a while and soak it for a while and it will be gone."
After hearing this, Sheng's mother paused while washing vegetables and immediately went to find the bag of starch at home.
