The modified bicycle was able to support a greater load, and the rear compartment was made quite large, enough to squeeze four people into. This is why bicycles at that time were incredibly durable.
Early the next morning, Sun Kaicheng rode his newly made tricycle, while Qian Xiao rode the bicycle he had borrowed from his second uncle.
Four elderly people and a pile of luggage sat in the back of the car, and that's how we set off.
The car was a novelty, attracting 100% attention in the county town. However, they were fast enough and didn't intend to linger and get questioned, so they sped out of the county town in a flash.
Once they left the county town, the road conditions deteriorated considerably. Old Qian chuckled and said, "You know what, what was that thing they got up to, what was it called again?"
Grandpa Zhou gave a hint: "Shock-absorbing springs."
"Yes, yes, this is it. It's smooth and doesn't feel stiff at all. It's comfortable to sit in."
“Absolutely. If a tractor had this installed, it would be much more comfortable to ride in, and the speed would be just as good. I think it’s no slower than a tractor. Let’s learn from it so that we can bring Potato back to visit his parents more often in the future.”
"You're right, but I don't know if this thing is easy to learn?" He can't even ride a bicycle very well, and he's always afraid of falling and breaking it.
Grandpa Zhou, however, felt particularly capable: "It doesn't look difficult to me. If you're afraid, I'll do it."
Old Man Qian choked up: "Who wouldn't dare? I'm just afraid of breaking this thing."
"They're all made of iron, they're not that delicate. If you drop them, they'll only break."
"Won't you be heartbroken if this expensive car gets damaged?"
That would definitely hurt, but this thing can be repaired if it breaks, but what about a person?
Qian Xiao listened to the conversation between the two old men and twitched the corner of his mouth. These two old men had the flavor of bickering and teasing each other. Maybe they were just cooped up in the county town. They felt uncomfortable if they didn't argue with each other all day long.
She looked at her son. Oh dear, she thought he would be scared, or just curious about the scenery on the roadside. But instead, his eyes were fixed on the front of the car, and he was frowning, as if he was thinking about something important.
The two old ladies were really nervous, gripping the handles tightly as if they were afraid of falling.
"Grandma, Grandpa, don't be nervous. The railing won't fall down. You don't need to hold Potato so tightly. His seat has a seatbelt, so he definitely won't fall down."
Qian Xiao suddenly had a brilliant idea: she got a child safety seat for her son and fixed it behind the driver. It not only had a soft cushion but also a seatbelt, which kept the child firmly in the seat and prevented him from falling off no matter how bumpy the ride was.
It's also because the child is growing up day by day and his weight is bound to increase. Although the grandparents are in good health, they must be exhausted from holding a little chubby baby for a long time.
Let him sit alone like this; it's comfortable for both adults and children.
"Ah, not nervous," the two old ladies said, but their hands were still tightly gripped.
But you'll get used to it after a few more times; it's normal to feel nervous unexpectedly.
"How is it? Is it comfortable to sit in? From now on, you should ride in this when you go out. It'll be so cool, and everyone will be envious of you."
Grandma Qian's face turned pale: "It's all so uncertain, and I can't seem to settle down."
Grandma Zhou was a little better, after all, she had ridden quite a few cars when she was young: "It's alright, just a little dizzy, I guess it'll be fine after a few more rides."
The shock absorption in modern cars is terrible, not to mention the jarring, bumpy ride. It's unbearable to feel that way.
Grandpa Qian was quite bold, laughing heartily as if he could already imagine driving that car out and receiving envious glances from others.
Grandpa Zhou wondered if he could drive the car. He really couldn't drive a car, he could only ride a bicycle. He wondered if the car was about right.
Sure enough, the car was surrounded as soon as it entered the village. The crowd was so dense that it was impossible to get through, as if they had seen some kind of monster. They practically wanted to scratch the car raw.
The two old ladies quickly took their sleeping child and went home first. Sun Kaicheng chatted with the two old men, while Qian Xiao pushed the cart to return the things they had brought back.
Some of those people were dishonest; they could have taken these things first and then opened them up to inspect the goods. By the time the two old men and Sun Kaicheng returned, it had been two hours since they entered the village.
Qian Xiao sat in the courtyard, munching on a melon seed, and grinned as he watched the three people return. The two old men looked like they hadn't had enough of their boasting, while Sun Kaicheng looked utterly dejected, probably speechless when asked his question.
After parking the tricycle, Sun Kaicheng plopped down next to Qian Xiao, opening his mouth to indicate that Qian Xiao would give him a bite. Qian Xiao was incredibly generous, directly extending his hand for Sun Kaicheng to eat its melon seeds.
"Mmm, so sweet! Are there many? Let's take some back to eat," he meant, could we take some back to get the seeds and grow some in our space to eat? His wife loves this incredibly sweet fruit.
"It's alright, I'll take a few back to eat. I'll ask my second aunt for some seeds." In the countryside, which family would be willing to plant such useless fruit? At most, they would just plant a little for their children to enjoy.
"You ran away pretty fast, didn't you even come back to save me?"
"Hehe, I knew they'd have a lot of questions, that's why I rushed back first. How about it? Aren't our fellow villagers hospitable enough?"
Sun Kaicheng tapped Qian Xiao's forehead: "Where's your son?"
"He's still asleep, but he'll wake up soon. You didn't see it, did you? On the way here today, that guy, his eyes were fixed on you as you drove, like he'd encountered some kind of ancient problem, his brows were all furrowed."
Sun Kaicheng smiled when he thought of that little face. He wondered how two such unserious people could have produced such an extremely serious little old man as their son.
“Our son has a research spirit; he’ll definitely be better than both of us in the future.”
"I hope so." Both of them have some kind of cheat code, while their own son is just a real kid.
For this reason, the two of them tested the waters many times, wondering if their son was different as well, but it turned out that he was just a pure little boy.
Hearing a series of whimpering sounds, Qian Xiao quickly patted Sun Kaicheng: "Quick, your son is awake."
Sun Kaicheng quickly stood up: "Where are Grandma and Grandma?"
“We went to Grandma’s house to help clean up. It’s been so long since anyone lived there, we can’t leave it untidy.” The roads in the countryside are all dirt roads and very dusty. Even her second and third aunts went to help. If she didn’t have children, she would have gone to help too.
A short while later, Sun Kaicheng lifted his son up by his armpits.
"What are you doing? Why aren't you holding me properly?"
Sun Kaicheng kept his mouth tightly shut and didn't say a word. He placed the child in Qian Xiao's arms, and Qian Xiao took her son and spread his chubby little legs to help him urinate.
