Riding in a car is much more comfortable than shopping by car, and it's not as bumpy.
When they arrived in the city, they went to the hospital first.
When Jiang Yang saw the righteous Lu Shishen, he felt a little scared and didn't dare to look Lu Shishen in the eye.
I really can't understand why Yang Niannian, who is thin and cute, found such a scary husband. She must have just looked at his face. (He suspected that Yang Niannian was attracted by Lu Shishen's appearance)
Jiang Yueyue was also a little scared. She kept stirring her hands in front of her body without making any sound.
When Yang Niannian saw the brother and sister like this, she almost couldn't help laughing out loud. Suddenly, she remembered the first time she met Lu Shishen, and she couldn't laugh anymore.
In Lu Shishen's eyes at that time, she couldn't be such a coward, right?
"When will your sister be discharged from the hospital?" Lu Shishen asked.
Facing Lu Shishen's question, Jiang Yang straightened his back unconsciously and said, "I will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow."
After thinking about it, he felt that he should take the initiative to ask Yang Niannian to pay for his sister's hospitalization.
If Lu Shishen attacks Yang Niannian because of this, her small body won't be able to withstand a punch.
So he said with a firm look, "The medical expenses that Nian Nian paid for my sister are a loan from me to you. When I make money, I will definitely pay you back double. You, you don't bully her because of this."
"Not really." Lu Shishen said.
As for what it would not be, he did not explain.
After a pause, he continued, "Where will you live after you are discharged from the hospital?"
Realizing that Lu Shishen was not here to cause trouble and had no ill intentions, Jiang Yang relaxed a little.
"I lived near the garbage station. I had no money, so I set up a tent there."
Without waiting for Lu Shishen to reply, he continued, "Has Nian Nian and I mentioned the idea of partnering up to collect junk? As long as you agree, 28, 37 cents is fine. You can even pay me a salary to work for me. As long as we can earn a living, that's fine."
Yang Niannian saved his sister, so he owed Yang Niannian a life and was willing to work under her.
"Nian Nian makes the decision regarding the shares. I won't get involved." Lu Shishen said in a calm voice.
Yang Niannian's eyes lit up, "Do you agree that I can form a partnership with Jiang Yang?"
Lu Shishen nodded and made a suggestion, "The area near the garbage station will be developed soon, so it's not suitable for renting a site. There is a large vacant lot in the north of the city near the suburbs that is suitable for rent. There are also two houses there that can be lived in, but it's not very convenient to get water. It wouldn't be a big problem to dig a well."
After a moment of deliberation, he added, "The country now strongly supports self-employed individuals. Your success rate in renting a venue is very high, and we may even provide some assistance."
“That’s great.”
Yang Niannian excitedly grabbed Lu Shishen's arm and jumped twice, the joy in her eyes was beyond words.
Lu Shishen really surprised her. Not only did he agree to her partnership with Jiang Yang, but he also gave her such a good suggestion.
She made a decision immediately, "That's it, you and Yueyue stay in the hospital for two more days, and when the place is rented, you can move in directly."
After a brief discussion about collecting the junk, Yang Niannian followed Lu Shishen out of the hospital.
She tilted her head curiously and asked, "You haven't even talked to Jiang Yang for a few words, how come you let down your guard against him and agreed to let me do business with him?"
"Eyes." Lu Shishen said succinctly, "Most people would feel guilty if they lied to a soldier, but his eyes were very sincere."
Yang Niannian nodded seriously, "I was also touched by his eyes at the time, so I didn't send him to the police station. When his parents were away, he was only fourteen or fifteen years old. He was able to raise his sister to this age, so at least he is a good brother."
Thinking of something, she asked, "Should we save money? I want to buy a pedal tricycle and a bicycle, and now we need to rent a place, which will cost a lot of money, right?"
"The country now supports self-employed individuals and will provide subsidies. The rent will not be too high. You can save 2,500 yuan first. 1,000 yuan will be enough." Lu Shishen said.
"Then let's save money first, and then buy bicycles and pedal tricycles after we rent a place." Yang Niannian was in a good mood and pulled Lu Shishen quickly towards the jeep.
2,500 yuan is not a small amount of money in that era. The bank staff was very friendly and provided service with a smile throughout the whole process. They were very considerate.
The deposit procedure was also very fast and it was successfully processed in just a few minutes.
Yang Niannian trotted out with the passbook. When Lu Shishen saw her come out, he handed her an opened bottle of soda.
Yang Niannian took the bottle and took two sips, then held up the passbook and said, "Now that we have saved the money, shall we go buy a bicycle?"
Lu Shishen suddenly thought of an important question, "Can you ride a bicycle?"
Yang Niannian blurted out, "I knew it when I was a kid."
She realized she had said the wrong thing, and quickly corrected herself, "I learned it secretly from the teenagers in the village."
That was a close call.
I almost let it slip.
It has only been a few years since the reform and opening up. When she was a child, her family was so poor that they could not even afford to eat and were lucky enough not to starve to death. Who had money to buy a bicycle?
Not to mention that time, even now, there are few families in the housing estate who own bicycles.
Last year, Yang Tianzhu went on a blind date with a girl, but the relationship fell through because she wanted a bicycle and her family couldn't afford it.
Lu Shishen did not question Yang Niannian's words. Since the land was distributed, farmers' lives have improved and bicycles are no longer a rare item.
In that era, manufacturing technology was not mature, the cost of goods was high, the output was low, and the prices were relatively expensive. The lowest price of a bicycle was 189 yuan.
Buying a bicycle is not like buying clothes. The price of a bicycle is fixed and it is extremely difficult to reduce the price.
Yang Niannian didn't waste any more words, picked out a black 28-bar bicycle, patted the seat and said, "Let's take this one, it has big wheels and runs fast."
Lu Shishen looked at the bicycle that was much higher than Yang Niannian's waistline, and was a little worried that she would not be able to pedal when she rode it.
"Do you want to try it first?"
"Don't try, just this."
Yang Niannian was not worried at all about not being able to ride a bicycle. Her height was considered acceptable among girls, so riding a bicycle was no problem at all.
Seeing that she liked it very much, Lu Shishen didn't say anything else.
After buying the bicycles, the two went to the vegetable market to buy some ingredients and snacks for the children.
When we returned to the family compound, it was already past dinner time.
As soon as I entered the family compound, Yu Hongli came up to me with a smile, "Captain Lu, you are finally back. People from your hometown came to see you. They are all waiting in your yard for a long time."
