Yu Chengyuan hummed a little tune, his feet moving as lightly as if he were riding on wheels of fire.
The bicycle's two wheels were spinning very fast.
The 28-inch bicycle still has plenty of horsepower.
This is the power of the 28-inch bicycle; it can not only carry heavy loads, but also withstand rough handling and is not easily broken.
The quality is no worse than bicycles several years later. The only drawback is that it is a bit bulky, but that's not a big deal for grown men.
This type of bicycle is not very suitable for women.
However, women in that era were also very skilled at riding bicycles, no less so than men.
She is just as strong as any man, and she is capable and hardworking.
Yu Chengyuan sang "Tian Mi Mi" all the way, "Tian Mi Mi..."
Sweet Honey…
The setting sun gilded his figure, making him seem like a joyful messenger from a fairy tale.
The wildflowers by the roadside swayed gracefully in the breeze, as if dancing to accompany his good mood.
Yu Chengyuan glanced at them from time to time, finding the colorful wildflowers cute and beautiful.
Red like fire, pink like the sunset, white like snow, each vying to display its beauty.
It's as if it's saying, "Look at this happy fellow!"
The roadside grass was equally impressive, its tender green leaves resembling a soft green carpet spread across the earth.
The male protagonist would sniff from time to time, inhaling the fragrance of flowers and grass in the air.
There were rows of trees along the roadside, but he didn't know what kind of trees they were.
The birds in the treetops chirped and twittered, as if cheering for his joy.
They hovered in the air for a while, then landed on the branches, tilting their heads and looking curiously at the smiling person.
They are not afraid of humans at all!
They probably thought he meant them no harm!
Yu Chengyuan was all smiles, and even the breeze seemed exceptionally gentle, lightly brushing against his face and bringing a touch of coolness, as if giving him a sweet kiss.
At this moment, Yu Chengyuan's heart was as open as the blue sky and white clouds, as free as the gentle breeze.
The journey home has never been as wonderful as it is today; every step is filled with joy and anticipation.
These past few days have been tough fighting with the Wang family, but today I can finally relax.
Next, it's time to get to work.
Back home, Yu Chengyuan pushed his bicycle inside and locked it.
Carrying the apples, he crouched down and went into his older brother's room.
At this time of day, my parents must be out working.
I saw my older brother sitting on the bed, weaving a basket with a rope.
"Brother, you finally got to rest for two days, why are you weaving baskets?"
Put it down and get some rest.
You'll have your busy moments later.
Yu Chengyuan spoke with a hidden meaning, then walked over and took the unfinished basket from his elder brother's hands, placing it on a nearby cabinet.
"I'm just doing this because I have nothing better to do."
I'm so bored staying at home every day.
Since I can't go out and I'm just idling around anyway, I thought I'd do some chores around the house.
This basket isn't worth much, but it can still be exchanged for a little money.
Yu Dazhu explained.
"Brother, you can't earn much money even if you work yourself to death."
I'll show you something so you won't feel bored.
Yu Chengyuan took out the contract and menu and handed them to his elder brother.
Yu Pingan looked at the contract and list, his eyes lit up, and he asked eagerly, "Cheng Yuan, is this a contract for delivering vegetables to the school cafeteria?"
How did you do that?
Are all the demands listed on these menus genuine?
That's way too much!
One hundred pounds of cucumbers, one hundred pounds of eggplants, one hundred pounds of pumpkins, one hundred pounds of peppers, and so on—that adds up to several hundred pounds!
"Of course it's true, it's written in black and white!"
As for how they did it, it was all thanks to my parents-in-law.
Without their introduction, I wouldn't have been able to close those two deals.
And it's a long-term commitment!
Yu Chengyuan smiled and pointed to the menu.
"Chengyuan, you are really amazing!"
As his older brother, I truly admire him.
Yu Pingan couldn't believe what he was seeing and sincerely praised it.
"Brother, you and I will go to the county town tomorrow, but we need to go very early in the morning."
Otherwise, it would be too late.
"And when you come back, you don't need to pretend your legs are still there. I told you I found an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor to do acupuncture and it worked."
Whether others believe it or not, the family has already separated.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
But I have to go back to work at the coal mine in a few days. Who's going to help you then?
Yu Pingan wondered how her younger brother would manage to deliver it all by himself, since it weighed several hundred kilograms.
"Don't worry about that, Dad can help me too."
But bro, there's something I want to tell you.
Do you think it's hard work digging coal in a mine?
He didn't want his brother to go back to work at the coal mine.
After all, my brother didn't work on the surface; he had to go down into the mine to work, digging coal, which was very dangerous in those days.
"Look at what you're saying. Of course, going down into the mine to dig coal is hard work, but I can handle it. I've been doing it for over a year and I've gotten used to it."
You don't need to feel sorry for your older brother.
Yu Pingan knew that his younger brother was worried about how hard he worked.
"Brother, actually, it's not so bad that mining coal underground is a bit hard."
Most importantly, mining coal underground is a very dangerous job.
Grandma used to force you to go; there was no other way.
Back then, Grandma was the head of the household, and we all had to listen to her.
"Now that we've separated, you don't have to go dig coal anymore."
