"Mom, don't be disgusted, this car is great!"
Pei Yifan was unhappy when he saw Li Miaomiao's disgusted expression, and said with a pout.
Li Miaomiao saw the little guy like this and really liked this bicycle
"Don't mind. It's getting late. We need to eat something quickly. I have to go to work."
Li Miaomiao still felt disgusted, but she didn't have time at the moment, so she would talk about it when she got back in the evening.
When we got to the field, many people asked about Li Miaomiao's bicycle.
"I don't have the money to buy a bicycle. I bought some spare parts and assembled it myself. It cost me a lot of money. I still feel bad about it now." Li Miaomiao said jokingly.
When everyone heard what Li Miaomiao said, some people who were originally a little jealous no longer felt jealous, but instead felt a greater sense of identification.
That's right. Who can afford a new bicycle? They can't even afford the bicycle ticket, not to mention that a bicycle is so expensive.
"The old one is fine too, even if it looks a bit shabby, as long as it works."
Li Miaomiao herself was being modest, but others said it was not the case. Her work was disliked and was uglier than others. After dinner, Li Miaomiao went to the utility room to tinker with it. She bought a bottle of environmentally friendly paint in the system mall and sprayed the bicycle with paint.
Once the paint is sprayed, the bicycle instantly looks brand new. Although it is not as evenly sprayed as in the store, the paint sprayed by Li Miaomiao is more beautiful in color. It is incomparable to the paint of this era and looks very good.
The next day, when Pei Yifan saw the brand new bicycle in front of him, he could hardly believe his eyes.
"Mom, do you know magic?"
Li Miaomiao was amused by Pei Yifan. The little guy can also say such childish words. It sounds so funny.
"Of course Mom doesn't have any magic, she just spray-painted the bike, and it looks almost like new."
"Mom, you are so smart! You can actually think of such a solution."
"I'm your mother, so I have to be smart. I'll take you for a ride around the village later. Let's see who still says our bicycle is shabby."
Pei Yifan nodded heavily, obviously being disliked by his friends.
The mother and son reached a consensus on this childish behavior, and then rode the bicycle happily, took a few laps in the village, and went to Pei's house. Old man Pei and old lady Pei looked at the bicycle and praised Li Miaomiao for being smart.
When Zhou Fang saw Li Miaomiao riding a bicycle, she could hardly hide her jealousy, but when she heard Li Miaomiao say that she assembled the bicycle herself, she became more interested.
"Second daughter-in-law, you are really capable. You can even assemble a bicycle. Look, his uncle doesn't have a bicycle now, which is very inconvenient. We are all family, so can you also help assemble one? Your eldest nephew is also of marriageable age. A bicycle makes him look respectable and makes it easier to find a partner."
Li Miaomiao didn't know what to say because she was so shameless. Zhou Fang must have no idea about their relationship.
"That's easy for you to say, sister-in-law. Is it really that easy to assemble a bicycle? Not to mention how much effort it takes, even the parts for assembling a bicycle are not that easy to find. Sister-in-law, if you can get the parts back, I can help you assemble one."
Li Miaomiao didn't say anything definite in front of her parents-in-law, but it didn't make a difference. Not to mention whether the eldest wife had the ability to get the parts, even if she did, she could still get paid for it. She couldn't help for free.
"Why is it so troublesome? We don't have the means to do this. Otherwise, please help me get it. I can't let you lose out, right?"
"Do you believe what sister-in-law said? Otherwise, sister-in-law, please give me fifty dollars first and I will help you buy the parts. If the remaining amount is not enough, you can give me more money."
"Fifty yuan, a broken bicycle costs fifty yuan, why don't you just rob it!"
Zhou Fang raised her voice a lot, pointing at Li Miaomiao angrily, as if Li Miaomiao had done something extremely evil.
"How much is a bicycle? I need a ticket. I don't think it's expensive, but you're trying to get a bargain, sister-in-law. Can I buy parts for free? Can I repaint it for free?"
Li Miaomiao said a few words to Zhou Fang, said goodbye to Old Man Pei and Old Lady Pei, and left.
However, Daya and Erya, who were in the yard, were thinking about what Li Miaomiao had just said.
"Sister, if we can really gather fifty yuan, can Second Aunt help us pack a bicycle?"
Before, they had never thought about owning a bicycle because it was simply impossible for them. Not only were bicycles expensive, they also couldn't get bicycle tickets.
But if you can get a bicycle for fifty dollars, it's not something you wouldn't consider.
My aunt is used to taking advantage of others, so she wants to get a bicycle for free. Fifty yuan is really not expensive.
"It should be possible. Second Aunt is a nice person and has helped us before. It's just that the eldest aunt is so annoying that Second Aunt doesn't want to bother with her."
"Then when parents come back, we will discuss with them and pool some money to ask Second Aunt to help us build a bicycle. It will be convenient for us to go anywhere in the future." Erya's expression brightened up.
"I think it's okay, but we should be more discerning in the future and help Second Aunt with more work. Otherwise, why would Second Aunt help us for free? We should be grateful."
"Sister, you don't need to tell me this. Every time Xiaofan goes to cut grass for the pigs, I help him. Mom and Dad have long said that we can't accept favors from others for nothing."
"I'm glad you know."
It wasn't just the Pei family in the village who had this idea. When other people heard that Li Miaomiao had assembled a bicycle, they all became interested and even went to Li Miaomiao to ask her about it.
"It's not impossible. I had a lot of trouble finding the parts for my bicycle. It took me a lot of time and effort. If you can find them, I can help you assemble them. We are all from the same village, so it's only natural for us to help each other."
After hearing the conditions mentioned by Li Miaomiao, the villagers who were originally tempted changed their minds. It was just an old bicycle, and the cost was beyond their affordability.
There were a few people who were quick-witted and wanted to get bicycle parts, but they went to the recycling station to ask and naturally came back empty-handed.
Li Miaomiao smiled knowingly. The old man still wanted her help to assemble the bicycle, so there was no way he would sell the bicycle parts he received. He must have kept them all. She couldn't go to the recycling station to exchange them.
If she went there by herself and the old man asked her for help, maybe some space would be freed up, but forget it if anyone else went.
Li Miaomiao was thinking about when she could help her mother's family assemble one. If the county town did not have enough materials, she would go back to the provincial capital to get them. She would have to go to the provincial capital anyway. The main task of the system was always there, and she had to get Pei Guoan back, which made her feel depressed.
