Song Yuangang had just arrived. Not only did he come, he also brought something with him - the 28-inch bicycle that the city awarded to Song Jianye!
He pushed the cart all the way here, and it was noon now. Many people in the team saw him, and many people followed him to Old Song's house.
After all, this was the first 28-inch truck of their Hongqi Production Brigade.
When Song Yuangang came over with the cart, before he could call Feng Guizhi, Baoya, who was counting ants with Yuanbao at the door, saw him first. Baoya looked at Song Yuangang with her eyes wide open, then looked at the 28-inch bicycle next to him. She blinked and realized that it was the cart Yuanbao had mentioned to her.
Yuanbao also saw it at this time, his eyes immediately lit up, and then he turned around and pulled Baoya to run to the yard: "Grandma, grandma, the car is coming, the captain is coming to our house with Uncle San's car!"
When he shouted, all the people in the Song family heard the sound and came out to see what was happening. Then they saw Song Yuangang parked at the door and his brand new 28-inch bicycle next to him!
Bowen, Boyu, and the other children came out too, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement at the car, their mouths slightly open. Baoya stood obediently beside them, staring at the 28-inch bicycle with curiosity.
Song Jianye looked at the car, feeling a little excited. Chen Xiuxiu and Sun Suyun couldn't help but look back and forth several times. Song Jianye also looked around carefully twice, then said with a little surprise:
"It's a Phoenix brand. They say Phoenix 28-inch bicycles are of good quality."
"Is this the Phoenix brand 28-inch truck?"
"Hey, what's that thing at the back called? A sign? It's really pretty."
Feng Guizhi was also happy. She looked at Song Yuangang and thanked him with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, Captain. You brought it all the way here for us."
Song Yuangang waved his hand: "Don't be polite, it's all my duty. Come and take a look, Jianye, come and try riding it."
The others in the team heard it and said, "Yes, Jianye, now that your legs are healed, it's a good time to try it out and see what it feels like."
"Is it difficult to ride a bike? Will it take some time to learn?"
"This is the first time I've seen a 28-ton truck this close. What did Jianshe just say? It's a Phoenix brand?"
"Yes, I've heard my father-in-law mention it before. He said the Phoenix brand 28-inch bicycle is of good quality."
"That's great! Once I learn how to ride this bike, it will be much more convenient to go out, right?"
Listening, someone urged: "Jianye, go up and try riding it, let us see it for ourselves."
“…”
Listening to the people in the group shouting, Song Jianye waved his hands repeatedly: "I can't do it. I don't know how to ride."
He turned his head and looked at Song Jianshe: "Old Four, do you know how to ride? Why don't you go and try it."
"I don't know how to ride it, Third Brother. You should go and try it," Song Jianshe quickly refused. Not to mention that he really couldn't ride it, even if he did, he couldn't go. This was a reward for his Third Brother, so how could he be the first one to try it out?
"Yes, Jianye, this is a reward for you. Go and try riding it. It's okay even if you fall. We won't laugh at you." Chen Xiuxiu also wanted to see him ride the 28-inch bicycle, so she said with a smile.
Song Jianye hesitated for a moment. He looked at the expectant eyes of the people around him, knowing that they all wanted to see what the bike was like to ride. After all, their Hongqi Production Brigade had never had a 28-inch bicycle before, and the sudden arrival of one made everyone very curious.
Thinking of this, Song Jianye no longer worried about making a fool of himself. He slowly walked over and took the handlebars from Song Yuangang.
He lowered his head and read it carefully, his heart was filled with excitement. He had never thought that he would be the first person in the brigade to own a 28-inch bicycle.
Thinking of how he had seen others ride bicycles, Song Jianye lifted his legs and sat on the bicycle. The 28-inch bicycle was tall and large, but fortunately, he was tall, so his feet could still support the ground.
He placed his right foot on the pedal, his left foot firmly on the ground. Then, with a strong push from his right foot, the wheel rolled forward, and he hurriedly put his left foot back on the pedal.
“Wow~!”
"It's moving, the car is moving!" Yuanbao and the others exclaimed behind him.
Everyone's eyes were on Song Jianye, watching him pedal the wheels and move forward.
However, in the end, Song Jianye only pedaled for two and a half turns before the bike tilted to one side. He quickly put down his left foot to support himself, thus avoiding falling in front of everyone.
"Third brother, you can ride so well on your first ride, if you practice more
If you practice it over and over again, you'll probably be able to learn it." Song Jianshe clapped his hands and praised sincerely.
Several younger ones also chimed in: "Uncle San, you are so awesome!"
"Uncle San, please keep riding. When you learn how to ride, can you take us to play?"
"I want to sit in the back!"
"I want to sit in the back too!"
"Well, I can sit in the front too!"
The people in the team also said, "Jianye, try a few more times."
"I see you're picking it up pretty quickly. Maybe you'll actually be able to learn it later."
Normally, after lunch, the team would take a short nap before going back to work. But now, no one felt sleepy anymore and gathered at Old Song's door, waiting to see Song Jianye learn to ride a bike.
Originally Song Jianye was a little embarrassed, but now seeing everyone encouraging him so much, he bravely continued to try a few more times.
Although I would fall to one side every time because I couldn't maintain my balance, I would ride farther each time than the last time, and each time was better than the last.
By the last time, I was able to pedal four or five times.
He stopped the car and turned to ask Song Aiguo, Song Jianshe and the others: "Big Brother, Second Brother, Fourth Brother, do you want to try it?"
The three brothers looked at each other, and Song Aiguo came out first with a smile: "Then I'll try it first."
Then, Song Aiguo, Song Aimin and Song Jianshe took turns to try riding the bike a few times, some for short distances and some for long distances, and it all looked pretty good.
The people in the surrounding teams were also eager to try it out, but they knew it wasn't appropriate and didn't have the nerve to say it out loud. As work time approached, the team gradually dispersed.
Song Yuan was about to leave when Song Jianye stopped him and said, "Captain, come and try it too. You might be able to ride better than us."
Song Yuan was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand to refuse, saying with a smile: "No, no, I don't know how to ride, I will make a fool of myself later."
Song Jianshe also helped persuade him, "Come on, Captain, there's no one else here. We won't laugh at you anyway."
"Yes, Captain, just give it a try. It won't get in the way." Feng Guizhi also spoke.
Song Yuangang hesitated for a moment, but finally accepted their invitation and went up to try riding a few times. Although he was very nervous during the process, he did not look happy after the end.
Jin smiled, feeling that he had satisfied his craving.
After that, Song Yuangang left. The old Song family pushed the 28-inch bicycle into the yard and closed the gate. Then Song Jianye asked his two sisters-in-law and Yang Yulan to try riding the bicycle for a few times. However, they were short and only their toes could touch the ground when they sat on it. Song Aiguo and Song Aimin each helped their wives to support the bicycle and escort them.
"Ouch, ouch, no, I'm going to fall! Aiguo, hurry up and hold me up!"
"You can go a long way with just one pedal stroke. This bike is really energy-saving."
“I felt a little scared when I sat on it, but also felt really refreshed!”
"Oh, it's great to have this car~!"
"Once we learn how to ride it, can we ride it out for a ride?" Chen Xiuxiu said with a smile.
"Then we'll have to ask Yulan if she'll let us ride it."
Yang Yulan also smiled and said, "Give it to me, I'll give it to you anytime."
After the three sisters-in-law finished riding, Song Jianshe suggested that Feng Guizhi should also try it, and that the brothers would definitely protect her. Feng Guizhi glared at him:
"My old bones can't take a fall, let the kids play for a while, I've been watching them enviously for so long."
When Wenjie, Wenzhi and the others heard this, their eyes lit up and they looked at their uncles eagerly, wanting to sit on them and have some fun too.
Song Jianshe laughed and said, "That depends on whether your Third Uncle lets you play with it."
Several children ran to Song Jianye and Yang Yulan's side, looking at him eagerly: "Third Uncle~"
"Third Uncle~"
Song Jianye had a smile on his face. At this moment, Song Jianshe was holding the car. He picked up Baoya and Yuanbao, and placed them on the front bumper and the back seat, one in front and one behind. Song Jianshe pushed the car while he protected them on the side.
Yuanbao likes to sit in the front so he can see more and farther. He is so happy that he shouts: "Wow~"
Baoya sat in the back, her two little hands tightly grasping the seat to prevent herself from falling. The bike was already high, and Baoya's view was even higher. She felt a little scared, but also very happy. After a while, a smile slowly appeared on Baoya's face.
Song Aiguo and Chen Xiuxiu went to work on the ground when the time came. Feng Guizhi did not go today. She sat at the door of the main hall, holding Tiantian and playing with her. She watched the children in the yard taking turns playing on the car, and the smile on her face was gone.
Stop and pass by.
Several children took turns to go up and spin around a few times. Although they were pushed and the speed was not fast, the feeling of sitting on it was very different, and it still made them feel very happy.
When it was Boyu and Boyen's turn, Boyu didn't want to sit on the bike and said he wanted to ride it himself. Song Jianye didn't refuse and gave it to him, while he and Song Jianshe were on the side protecting him and helping him if he was about to fall.
Because they were still young, their feet could barely touch the ground when they sat, and the pedals were a bit out of reach. So they slipped their legs under the front bar to pedal. This position was awkward, their balance was difficult to maintain, and it was easy to fall and get injured. Song Jianye held the back seat and let them try riding slowly.
Seeing that their two older brothers could ride the bicycle by themselves, Yuan Bao, Ya Tian En and the others were very impressed: "Big brother and second brother are so awesome~!"
Baoya stood aside, looking at Boyu riding a bicycle with sparkling eyes, and nodded her head in agreement.
I originally planned to go to the back mountain in the afternoon to look for Chen Yibei's kids, but the arrival of the 28-bar bicycle changed my plan, so I just played in the yard for the whole afternoon.
After Shen Yibei finished his work, he ran to the back mountain and waited for a long time but did not see the children of the old Song family. In the end, he had to go back with a little depression.
......
While the children of Old Song's family were having fun, people from the production team outside were also talking about their family's 28-inch bicycle.
"Let me tell you, the captain delivered the 28-ton truck to the Song family today. It's brand new and looks really nice."
Another person also said, "Besides, I heard from Jianshe that the 28-inch bicycle is...something Phoenix brand, which is a good brand."
"Of course not. After all, it's a reward from the county, how bad can it be?"
"Jianye and his three brothers all got on the bikes. They pedaled hard and could go quite far. It seemed to save a lot of energy."
After hearing this, someone came up and asked in confusion, "When did this happen? How come I didn't know anything about it?"
"It was just after lunch at noon. I was about to go into the house to take a nap when I saw the captain pushing a cart over, so I followed him to see what was happening."
"Yes, I happened to see it too, so I went over there with Liu Er."
The man immediately said in frustration: "If I had known, I would have gone there too.
After dinner, I went back to my room to rest. I missed it. I haven’t seen what the 28-bar truck looks like yet.”
The person next to him comforted him: "There will be many opportunities in the future, there is no need to rush."
After a while of discussion, the topic shifted to another topic: "What do you think, should Jianye go to learn how to drive this time?"
"What do you mean? This spot is for him. If he doesn't go, who will?"
Another person said, "Have you forgotten about the letter of introduction? Wasn't it also given to Song Lao San? In the end, it ended up in the hands of the fourth son's wife and eventually became a teacher in the county town."
"No, I really don't know what he's thinking."
"Maybe... maybe they think it doesn't matter who goes with the family."
The others disagreed somewhat, but ultimately said nothing. After a while, one person said, "No matter what, Jianye should go alone to learn how to drive this time."
After all, this opportunity to learn driving was even more valuable than the previous letter of introduction. They felt that Song Jianye would not miss it again.
......
The Song family didn't know what was being discussed outside. However, Song Jianye was just now looking for Feng Guizhi to talk about learning to drive.
