Chapter 112 Bicycle
When we arrived at the purchasing station of the supply and marketing cooperative, people selling things were lined up outside the door.
Some people carried herbs, some carried old hens, and some even brought sheep.
Zhou Ziwen hurried to the back of the line and lined up first.
"Sister, Yiyi, do you want to buy anything? I'll probably be here for a while, so you can go and buy whatever you want!" Zhou Ziwen said, looking at the three girls standing next to him.
"Okay, let's go buy some things first." Chen Shiying nodded.
Girls always have some private things.
It’s not appropriate for Zhou Ziwen to see it.
Zhou Ziwen's proposal was exactly what he wanted.
After the three girls left together, Zhou Ziwen lined up with peace of mind.
Perhaps because there were so many purchasing staff, the queue was still very fast. After waiting for about half an hour, it was Zhou Ziwen's turn.
Zhou Ziwen took out the wolf skin and rabbit skin that he had prepared in advance and handed them to the staff at the purchasing station.
"A wolf skin in good condition, ten dollars!"
"One rabbit skin. Yours is a little damaged! I'll give you one dollar and fifty cents."
The staff skillfully checked the furs brought by Zhou Ziwen and gave a price.
"OK."
Zhou Ziwen did not bargain either. He had just seen the person selling things in front of him. It didn't matter whether he bargained or not. He could sell it or not.
The buyer's market is just so awesome.
Just as Zhou Ziwen was about to go out with the money in hand, he saw the Chen sisters and Shen Zhaodi coming back from shopping.
You can tell from the bulging bags in their shoulders that they bought a lot of things.
"Have you bought the things?" Zhou Ziwen asked.
"I've bought it!" Chen Qiaoyi replied hurriedly.
"Zhou Chaoyang hasn't arrived yet, let's go for a walk outside first." Zhou Ziwen said.
Today's market is very lively. Although there is nothing I want to buy, it is worth seeing.
As he walked, Zhou Ziwen saw an old man buying used books.
The old man selling books wore a pair of old glasses. Although his clothes were simple, he had a scholarly air, just like those old gentlemen who taught.
Zhou Ziwen's attention was attracted by a somewhat old copy of the Five Animal Exercises.
He nodded to the old man and picked up the Five Animal Exercises on the stall.
Although this book is a bit old, it is well preserved and there is not even a curled edge on the whole book.
After a quick look, Zhou Ziwen realized that this book of Five Animal Play was extremely complete and could be bought for the Chen sisters to learn.
"Old man, how much is this book?" Zhou Ziwen asked.
"Your book is worth two cents." The old man raised his head and said.
"Okay." Zhou Ziwen didn't bargain with him and took out two cents and handed it over.
"Brother Ziwen, why did you buy the Five Animal Exercises?" Chen Qiaoyi had a bad feeling in her heart.
"Of course, it's for you and your sister to exercise," Zhou Ziwen explained with a smile. "The Five Animal Exercises are a slow-paced exercise. Long-term practice can make your body more resilient, improve your sleep quality, and prolong your life."
"Isn't this difficult to practice?" Chen Shiying blushed a little.
When Zhou Ziwen was flipping through the book just now, she also took a few glances and found that some of the poses in it were not very decent.
"It's very easy to practice. Once I learn it, I can teach you." Zhou Ziwen didn't notice Chen Shiying's shyness, or rather, he noticed it but pretended not to know.
"This..." Chen Shiying was a little confused.
He also knew that Zhou Ziwen had good intentions, but the posture behind it was really embarrassing.
It would be fine if there were no outsiders, but Zhou Ziwen just said that he would teach them personally.
"Stop wasting time, let's go. I think Zhou Chaoyang has already returned. Let's go find him first, and then go buy a bicycle." Zhou Ziwen interrupted Chen Shiying's hesitation.
As for teaching boxing, it’s not like he hasn’t taught it before. He taught Chen Qiaoyi before. It’s just that Bajiquan is not suitable for girls. Chen Qiaoyi didn’t want to practice it, so he didn’t force her.
But the Five Animal Exercises are very suitable for girls to practice, and some of the movements are somewhat similar to yoga in previous lives.
If you practice to a high level, it may not only prolong your life, but at least make your body healthier.
When they arrived at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, Zhou Chaoyang had indeed returned.
"Brother Zhou." Zhou Chaoyang's eyes lit up when he saw Zhou Ziwen.
"How is it, is it done?" Zhou Ziwen asked.
"Of course." Zhou Chaoyang showed a stack of industrial coupons in his hand.
"Okay, let's go buy a bicycle now." Zhou Ziwen also smiled.
With Zhou Chaoyang as a shield, it wasn't too outrageous for him to buy a bicycle.
Although I was inevitably talked about for a while after returning to the village, they were all trivial matters and died down after a while.
Besides, with Zhou Chaoyang in front of him, he would have fewer worries.
"Let's go buy a bicycle."
Zhou Chaoyang shouted and hurried into the supply and marketing cooperative.
He had been to this supply and marketing cooperative several times and knew where the bicycles were.
Several people went straight to their destination and soon arrived at the place where bicycles were sold.
"Comrade, we're here to buy bicycles." Zhou Chaoyang slapped the industrial coupon on the salesperson's counter.
"Which one do you want to buy?" asked the salesperson.
"How many types do you have here?" As a child of a large compound, he knew all the types of bicycles.
He has several of them at home.
"We have three brands: Fei Ge, Forever, and Phoenix." The salesperson was not impatient. After all, the industrial coupons were already on the counter.
"What's the price?" Zhou Ziwen asked from the side.
"Phoenix is 170, Forever is 180, Fei Ge is 150. Which one do you want?" the salesperson asked, looking at them.
"Brother Zhou, which one do you want to buy?" Zhou Chaoyang looked at Zhou Ziwen.
"Buy a permanent one!" Zhou Ziwen said after thinking for a while.
He remembered that Forever brand bicycles were quite famous. Bicycles of that era were of solid quality and could be used for a lifetime.
"Then I'll buy a permanent one too." Zhou Chaoyang followed.
"Comrade, let's buy two." Zhou Ziwen took out the tickets and money from his pocket.
During this period, he didn't spend much money. He brought more than 800 yuan when he went to the countryside and spent more than 200 yuan. Later, his family sent him another 100 yuan. Now he has a little more than 700 yuan left.
Buying a bicycle is not a big burden for him.
Zhou Chaoyang standing by also paid the money readily.
After collecting the money, the salesperson took them to choose bicycles and then issued them the application procedures.
Not long after, Zhou Ziwen and Zhou Chaoyang each had a brand new bicycle in their hands.
"Brother Ziwen, let me see. I have never ridden a bicycle before!" Chen Qiaoyi came over eagerly.
"I'll teach you when I have time." Zhou Ziwen let go of the handlebars and gave the bicycle to Chen Qiaoyi.
"Hehe, then I want to learn." Chen Qiaoyi said with a smile.
These two bicycles are her betrothal gift and have a special place in her heart.
Seeing this scene, Chen Shiying on the side was also moved.
"Sister, you should also learn how to ride a bike so that it will be convenient for you to go out in the future." Zhou Ziwen said.
"Forget it, I'm afraid of breaking your bike." Chen Shiying shook her head.
"What are you afraid of? You can learn right at your doorstep. The ground is muddy and won't get damaged if you fall." Zhou Ziwen said nonchalantly.
"Let's talk about it later!" Hearing this, Chen Shiying relaxed a little.
"It's settled." Zhou Ziwen made the decision without giving her a chance to refuse.
This sister-in-law sometimes thinks too much.
