"Han Zhiqing, you're here. Could you please help us take a look at the bicycle and see what's wrong with it?" Xuemei said with a smile when she saw Han Chen coming.
Han Chen's heart began to beat uncontrollably when he saw Xuemei. He nervously touched the pen in his pocket and said, "It's okay, Comrade Liu Xuemei. I don't know how to fix it. Push the bicycle out first and let me take a look!"
Xuemei nodded, then shouted to the back, "Brother, Han Zhiqing is here, please push the bicycle out!"
Mingzheng pushed the bicycle out and said, "Han Zhiqing, when I was taking my fiancée home today, I noticed that the front of the bike was always shaking, making it hard to steer. Could you please help me take a look?"
After hearing this, Han Chen leaned over to the front of the bicycle and carefully examined it. Then he said, "Brother Liu, I think some parts on the front of the bicycle must be loose. I'll tighten them and you can try riding it again!"
After Han Chen finished speaking, he opened his rattan box, took out a wrench and other tools from it, and finished it in just a few minutes.
"Brother Liu, do you have any other questions if you try it now?" Han Chen took out a towel and wiped his hands and said.
Mingzheng nodded, got up and tried riding his bike.
"Brother Han, why do you have so many tools?" Feifei has been staring at the car repair tools inside since Han Chen opened the wicker box, constantly studying the uses of the things inside.
"Do you like to do these too? I'll teach you later." Han Chen changed the subject.
Feifei nodded happily, then looked at Han Chen with admiration.
"Han Zhiqing, there shouldn't be any problem! Sorry to bother you this time, let's have dinner here before leaving!" Mingzheng said enthusiastically while pushing his bicycle.
"No need, Brother Liu, you helped me a lot when I lived in your house before! Besides, the Youth League Institute is already cooking my meals, so I'll go back first?" Han Chen refused.
"It's okay if you don't want to eat dinner, but wait a minute, I'll go get you some candy for my wedding tomorrow so you can share in the joy!" Mingzheng said and went back to the house.
Han Chen looked around and saw that there was no one else here except Xuemei and Feifei, so he handed the pen in his pocket to Xuemei.
"Han Zhiqing, why did you give me the pen?" Xuemei looked at Han Chen in confusion.
"I heard that your birthday is tomorrow. This is a birthday present for you. I hope you like it!" Han Chen looked into Xuemei's eyes and said seriously.
Xuemei was about to refuse, but Mingzheng spoke up before she could say anything. Xuemei had no choice but to take the pen and plan to return it to Han Chen when she had the chance.
After dinner, Xuemei and her family went home. At around four in the morning the next day, Liu's mother woke Xuemei up.
"Xuemei, get up and eat the longevity noodles first. We will go to pick up the bride later!" Liu's mother patted Xuemei's shoulder and said.
"Mom, you're so busy today, but you still prepared longevity noodles for me in advance. How early do you have to get up?" Xuemei yawned, rubbed her eyes and said.
"Your father kneaded the dough last night, and we cooked it together this morning. We just got up not long ago. You should get up quickly! I'll go call Ruirui!" After explaining clearly, Liu's mother left.
Xuemei quickly got up, dressed, and washed up. After washing up, she went back to her room and wrapped two red envelopes with red paper.
"Dad, Mom, thank you for getting up so early to cook noodles for me. Thank you for raising me to this age. Here is a red envelope for you." Xuemei handed a red envelope to Liu's father and mother respectively.
"You kid, today is your birthday. We didn't give you any red envelopes, but you gave them to me and your father." Mother Liu said with emotion.
Xuemei deliberately said jokingly, "Dad, Mom, your red envelopes are different! Mom's is bigger. Because Mom went through so much trouble when she was pregnant with me, so Mom deserves a big red envelope. Dad, please don't be jealous!"
"No, it's enough for dad to have a share, your mom should have more. But from now on, whatever your mom has, I must have too! Do you understand?" Father Liu looked at Mother Liu who was so moved that she was wiping away tears, and said jokingly.
"Mom, don't cry! I have a job now, and I will buy more things and more money for you and Dad in the future. If you are so easily moved now, you will cry every day then! Right, Dad?" Xuemei pulled Liu's father's arm and said.
"What's going on? Mom, why are you crying? What happened?" Ruirui rubbed his eyes and walked out of the room. Seeing Liu's mother crying, he asked anxiously.
"It's nothing, what could happen? It's a great day, don't talk nonsense. I just got something in my eye and rubbed it with my hands until tears came out. I called you for so long but you didn't get up. Now you get up and you meddle in other people's business. Go wash up, eat, and go with your sister to pick up the bride!" Liu's mother wiped her eyes with her sleeve and said to Ruirui unhappily.
"Are you eating noodles so delicious today? Oh! Big sister, today is your birthday, big sister, happy birthday!" Ruirui said, putting his arm around Xuemei's shoulder.
Xuemei patted Ruirui's hand and said, "Go wash up quickly. There are noodles in the pot. Go and help yourself. Big brother will come to call us later!"
"Okay, birthday boy, I'll go right away!" Ruirui said coquettishly.
As soon as Mingzheng arrived, Ruirui rode a bicycle and took Xuemei to Wangjia Village. In addition to Xuemei and the other three, the wedding party also included Mingwen on a bicycle, Mingwu and Liu's father each driving an ox cart, on which sat several of the great-grandfather's grandchildren.
As soon as he arrived at his second uncle Wang Weimin's house, his second cousin and a group of young men stopped him. Mingzheng gave cigarettes, candies and red envelopes to everyone, and was only allowed to enter Xinyan's room after he made a promise to his second cousin.
When we arrived at Xinyan's room, our cousin's wife and a group of children were blocking the way. This should have been Sitong's task, but Sitong was selected to join the art troupe in November. Now she is in Hebei Province, and Jinniu cannot come back for the New Year.
