Chapter 116 Buying a Bicycle
The next day, Gao Mingcheng accompanied Gao Zhuang to the county to buy a bicycle.
As the Chinese New Year approaches, there are more petty thieves in the county. Gao Zhuang is not tall and does not look strong, so he is the first choice of those thieves.
The money to buy a bicycle is not a small amount of money. If something happens, it will be bad.
Of course, Gao Mingcheng's trip was not in vain. As the Chinese New Year was approaching, he had to buy a lot of New Year's items and bring five or six kilograms of wild boar meat to Gao Guobing's family.
When going out with Gao Zhuang, we must take the bus. After getting off the bus, we go straight to Gao Guobing's house.
It happened that Gao Guobing and the others were at home, and when Gao Yue saw the wild boar meat that Gao Mingcheng sent over, he started screaming.
"Gao Mingcheng! When I was in the village, you took me to hunt doves and rabbits every day. How come you went to hunt wild boars as soon as I left?"
"I want to hunt wild boars, too!"
Gao Yue stared at Gao Mingcheng with a look full of unwillingness.
What could Gao Mingcheng say? He could only laugh.
Zhao Dongmei added directly, "If you hadn't held him back, Ming Cheng might have killed the wild boar long ago!"
I have to say, the truth about Zhao Dongmei is revealed!
Since they came to deliver something, Zhao Dongmei invited them to have dinner at home.
Before, when Gao Yue returned to the village, he also lived in Gao Zhuang's house, so the two of them became more familiar with each other. Now that they met, they could also talk a little.
They heard that Gao Zhuang had successfully found his lover and came to the county to buy a bicycle in preparation for his marriage, so Gao Guobing and the others congratulated Gao Zhuang, making him blush and smile from ear to ear.
There was still some time before lunch, so Gao Yue volunteered to take them to buy bicycles, and said: "You have to choose bicycles, some are good, and some are not so good. Don't worry, Gao Zhuang, I'm here, I will pick a good one for you!"
So the three young men walked towards the mall, and on the way, Gao Yue asked Gao Mingcheng if he wanted to buy a bicycle.
Gao Mingcheng was stunned. He had a good physique and could run very fast. He was used to running wherever he went, so he didn't think about buying a bicycle at first.
Now after hearing Gao Yue mention it, he instantly had an idea.
"Buy! I'm going to have a wedding banquet with Duomei in the spring, and I need to buy a bicycle."
He can run, but if many Americans have a bicycle, it will be more convenient for them to go anywhere.
Besides, when they hold a wedding banquet here, they are used to picking up the bride on a bicycle. If the bride is from the same village, they will also carry the bride on a bicycle and take her around the village.
Even if the family getting married doesn't have a bicycle, they will borrow one from someone on the day.
If a bride is not carried on a bicycle, she will definitely be laughed at and feel ashamed.
There is only one shopping mall in their county. People buy bicycles and watches in this mall. Of course, in addition to these two items, there are other things, and they are relatively complete.
The salesperson in the mall also knew Gao Yue's identity, so when he asked to test ride the bikes, no one stopped him. In the end, after Gao Yue's selection, two bicycles were chosen.
The price of the bicycles is fixed and there is no room for bargaining, so everyone pays the bill and then can push the bicycle out.
After Gao Mingcheng was reborn, he had never ridden a bicycle before, and he was a little uncomfortable at first, but fortunately he soon learned to ride steadily.
Gao Zhuang is also pretty good. When Gao Yue was in the village, he borrowed Gao Yue's bicycle and learned how to ride.
"I'll take you around the county!" Gao Yue was quite excited. He disliked that Gao Mingcheng was not a good rider, so he rode his bike himself and took Gao Mingcheng and Gao Zhuang to circle the county.
The young men were full of vigor and vitality. They pedaled their bicycles like they were riding a Hot Wheels, leaving a beautiful scenery in the county.
Gao Zhuang had never experienced such a thing before, and he was extremely excited. When there were fewer people riding around, he even roared along with Gao Yue.
Gao Yue laughed and said loudly: "Sometimes the pressure of studying is too great, so my classmates and I ride our bikes like this, riding fast and yelling, and when we are exhausted, we go home to eat and sleep! The next day, everything is fine."
This is a way for city dwellers to relieve stress. As a villager, Gao Zhuang has never experienced this, but he also said: "Sometimes I go to the mountains to roar, and then I feel happy when I hear the echo."
When he roared in the mountains, he heard an echo, as if a mysterious person in a distant place responded to him.
Gao Mingcheng just listened with a smile on his face.
At this moment, he felt like a teenager again.
Youth is great.
The county town was not big, but it took a lot of time to ride a bicycle around it. By the time they returned, Gao Yue was a little exhausted and finally switched seats with Gao Mingcheng. He sat in the back and Gao Mingcheng rode him.
When they returned home, Zhao Dongmei had just prepared a table full of delicious food, so the hungry teenagers began to eat it in big mouthfuls.
After finishing his meal and taking a short rest, Gao Mingcheng asked to go back.
Zhao Dongmei didn't force them to stay, but took out two packages from the house and gave one to each of them.
She smiled and said, "These are walnuts sent by others. I gave each of you two pounds to take back and eat during the New Year."
Walnuts are not produced here, and logistics are not well developed now, so it is rare to eat walnuts.
After thanking him, the two of them went out with their things.
They were not in a hurry to return to Gaojia Village, but went to the mall again to buy some things for the New Year. Gao Mingcheng experiencedly took Gao Zhuang to buy facial cream for girls and some red balls of wool.
When the girl visits the boy, these things can be given to her as gifts.
Gao Zhuang knew nothing, but he was extremely convinced by Gao Mingcheng, so naturally he bought whatever Gao Mingcheng said.
In fact, he had dated some girls, but none of them were interested in him because he had a big shortcoming.
When He Xiuman said that she liked him and didn't mind that he had no parents, Gao Zhuang's heart had already fallen for He Xiuman.
The two of them tied the things they bought to the back seat with a rope and rode their bicycles to Gaojia Village. Although the journey was long, they both had endless energy and pedaled very fast. When they were alone, Gao Zhuang even roared to vent his suppressed joy.
But when he returned to the village, Gao Zhuang was still depressed.
As soon as he entered the house, he sneezed - oh, he caught a cold!
The winter wind is extremely dry and cold. Even when walking slowly, you still feel the wind blowing. The faster you ride your bike, the colder the wind blows on your head. Gao Zhuang's physique is not very good, so he caught a cold.
Fortunately, grandma was well prepared for this and had already prepared ginger and brown sugar water in advance.
As soon as the two men came in, they were asked to drink a bowl each.
After drinking a bowl of hot ginger and brown sugar water, the coldness in the body will be dispelled.
This is the magic medicine that villagers often use to drive away the cold!
Safe and delicious!
