"Everyone, go home. The bicycle won't move. You can go see it whenever you want. Let them ride it home!"
From now on, our brigade can listen to the radio while working. Everyone will work diligently, and if I find anyone listening to the radio without doing any work, I won't play it anymore.
"This is good enough. Who's as capable as our brigade? We can even listen to the radio! Brigade Leader, we'll definitely do our best!"
"Yes, yes, yes! We'll definitely do our best! Listening to the radio will give us a lot of energy."
The brigade leader smiled, nodded, and waved his hand, and the villagers dispersed.
The children who usually helped Zhuang Zhimeng gather pig feed ran alongside their bicycles, so Zhuang Zhimeng and An Qingbai simply stopped.
She and An Qingbai took the children for a ride, each of them taking two children at a time. The children were incredibly excited sitting on the bicycles, as it was their first time riding one!
The two rode towards home and ran into Yangyang, who had rushed over after hearing the news, along with Lai Di and Deng Di.
An Qingbai simply brought the three children along, while Zhuang Zhimeng pushed the bicycle beside them until they were seated. The bicycle was a Phoenix brand 28-inch heavy-duty bicycle, and Zhuang Zhimeng, who is 168cm tall, was a little short of being able to stand upright while seated.
Just as An Qingbai was about to get on the horse, Zhuang Zhimeng suddenly turned around and looked back.
"What's wrong?"
"I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I have a feeling that someone is watching us. I just turned around to look but didn't see anything. I guess I'm just imagining things! It's okay, let's go!"
An Qingbai turned around to look, but there was no one there! Thinking it must be his imagination, he didn't pay any attention to it.
The two rode to Zhuang Zhimeng's house and then parted ways. An Qingbai took the three children home, and the three children didn't forget to say goodbye to her, which she did in return.
Shi Meiling saw An Qingbai pushing a bicycle with his three children as they came in. "Third brother, where did you get the bicycle? You didn't go to the county town to buy one, did you?"
"Mom, this is my reward, Zhimeng and I will each have one!"
"Really? That's wonderful! Our family is truly blessed! We'll have to offer extra incense when we visit the graves later!"
When the family heard the commotion, they all came to see the bicycle. Seeing that it was brand new, they didn't dare to touch it, afraid that the calluses on their hands would scratch it.
"Dad, can you ride a bike? Why don't you try riding around?"
An Qingbai could tell from An Tanxiao's eager expression that he wanted to ride.
"Let me tell you, I'm not bragging, but I really can ride this bicycle! When I was little, your grandpa and I visited other people's homes, and they saw that I really liked it, so they taught me how to ride it."
An Tanxiao actually rode it around once, and said, "How was that? I wasn't bragging, was I?" He didn't forget to give An Qingbai a look that said, "I'm so awesome!"
An Qingbai quickly gave a thumbs up, "Dad, you really are the best!"
An Qinghua, standing to the side, was so anxious that she scratched her head and pleaded, "Dad, please get down and let me try too! I want to ride this bicycle too!"
"What's your hurry? I haven't ridden enough yet!" He refused to give up his bicycle, leaving his sons standing by, glaring at him helplessly.
An Qingbai shook his head, told his mother, and went back to his room. The brigade leader had given him and Zhuang Zhimeng a day off tomorrow; they were going on a date, so he needed to get ready.
Zhuang Zhimeng pushed the cart home, and Hao Caiyun and Zhuang Xingzhou were happy for her. It was convenient to have a cart in the village; you could go anywhere in town, unlike an oxcart, which could only be parked in a fixed place, and you had to walk everywhere else.
"Yaya, we're going back tomorrow. Our holiday is almost over! We bought our return tickets when we came, for tomorrow afternoon."
"Huh? Mom, you've only been here a few days and you're already going back?"
"We only took a few days off, and it was quite a struggle to get that. We came mainly because we were worried about you, and also to check on your boyfriend, in case you got scammed. After spending these few days with him, we found that Xiao An is a nice young man, so we're relieved!"
"Mom, I'm so reluctant to leave you!" Zhuang Zhimeng couldn't help but throw herself into her mother's arms.
"Alright, when you have your family leave, bring Xiao An home, and I'll cook you something delicious!"
"Then I'll do it!"
"You silly girl, what's wrong with what I made? You're still so big, aren't you? Zhuang Xingzhou, tell me, how was what I made?"
Zhuang Zhimeng secretly gave her father a gloating look.
Zhuang Xingzhou was originally watching the game, but he ended up getting caught up in it himself. He quickly said, "That's because she doesn't understand. What you did was very unique, absolutely amazing!"
"Hmph, you're smart to know what's good for you! Looks like I'll have to do more for you from now on..."
Zhuang Xingzhou's face immediately fell. Seeing Hao Caiyun staring at him, he quickly put on a smile and said, "Okay...!"
