Chapter 241 People Must Have Goals
I exchanged the industrial coupons for more than ten kilograms of mountain products on the black market, and the more than 120 yuan for buying the car came from my home.
There are several bicycle suppliers in the county, but such items are expensive and few people can afford them.
There is a saying in the village that if there is three turns and one ring at a wedding, there will be a bicycle among them.
That's what people say, but there are really not many people who can really afford it. It's a great achievement for the county to sell one in a month.
Fu Jingyou came with ready-made money and tickets, and he looked at and touched several bicycles one by one.
I chose the one that looked the "best" and "most pleasing to the eye" and paid for it.
Fu Jingyou put away the receipt for his bicycle, held the front of the bicycle, and fiddled with the little red flower hanging next to the bell.
His eyes drifted to the sewing machine with a small, straight platform beside him.
He pointed and asked:
“How much does that cost?”
"That's a Feiren brand sewing machine from Shanghai. It costs 186 yuan and requires an industrial voucher."
Fu Jingyou asked about sewing machines right after buying a bicycle. The salesperson was very enthusiastic towards him:
"Comrade, you're buying this to get married, right? You can come closer and see if it's okay."
The three turns and one ring include the radio, bicycle, sewing machine and watch.
Fu Jingyou smiled and shook his head calmly:
"I won't buy it now, I'll just ask first and buy it later when I have the chance."
Although he didn't buy it, Fu Jingyou didn't miss the opportunity to take a closer look.
He leaned in for a closer look. Perhaps because he had learned the skill of repairing equipment in Tianjin, he could understand the principles of the moving joints of some parts.
As he watched, Fu Jingyou couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
Why are Chinese people so smart?
Just by assembling these many small parts, can such a sophisticated thing be assembled?
“Is this useful?”
"It's very useful. Let me show you how to do it!"
The salesperson was a female comrade who was responsible for selling these expensive and large items, so naturally she knew something about it.
In front of Fu Jingyou, she picked up a small piece of cloth with many stitches on it and started to pedal the sewing machine.
You know what, the line moves fast and steadily.
Fu Jingyou looked at it and nodded repeatedly.
He asked several questions in a row.
For example, is there a large supply of this?
Do many people usually buy it? And so on.
He actually knew everything, but he was thinking about buying it for Lu Miao, and he couldn't buy it for the time being, so he was always afraid that someone would get there first.
The salesperson talked to him truthfully, and he gradually felt relieved and said he would come again next time.
He was generous enough to buy the bicycle.
The salesperson probably thought that he had some financial resources, so he didn't say anything to spoil his mood and sent him away politely.
On the way back, Fu Jingyou pedaled his bicycle very fast, still silently calculating his accounts in his mind.
A sewing machine costs 186 yuan, plus an industrial coupon.
He doesn't have a formal job yet and doesn't earn much money in the team.
You can get a lot of things in the mountains during this season, but it’s hard to say how much stable income you can get.
By early March next year at the latest, we will have news about the job...
If I really became a team leader, with a monthly salary of 37 yuan, I would have to save 186 yuan without spending for five or six months...
If I hadn't become a team leader and was only getting 25 yuan a month, I would have had to save for a longer period of time, maybe seven or eight months.
People need some goals...
Fu Jingyou was thinking that next year's task was to get Lu Miao a sewing machine without affecting his daily life.
As he thought about it all the way, Fu Jingyou felt very warm in his heart.
He was riding his bike all the way to the production team when he finally realized something.
I was so focused on Lu Miao just now that I forgot about the baby who was about to be born.
In the new year, not only do I need to buy a sewing machine, I also need to earn enough money to buy milk powder for my little one...
As for the rest, I will have to think about it carefully when I get back.
Fu Jingyou giggled and rode his bicycle along the slope of the mountain road into the production team.
The uncles, aunts, and sisters-in-law on both sides of the field looked at it in surprise, and raised their voices to ask:
"Hey! Xiaoliu, where did you get such a nice bicycle?"
"You old man, just tell me, are you shortsighted? Where else could you have gotten it? You must have bought it! Didn't you see that the little red flower on top hasn't been taken off yet?"
"That's true, Xiaoliu. You've made a great progress this time by going on such a long journey. You can even afford a bicycle!"
Fu Jingyou didn't slow down his bicycle and responded calmly with a smile on his face:
"It's not my ability, it's all thanks to my wife who made our family prosperous. It's all thanks to my wife."
Fu Jingyou attributed all the credit to Lu Miao, and his uncles and aunts joked that he loved his wife too much.
But those who really listen to these words have two different ideas.
Some people think that Fu Jingyou is just benefiting from the city dweller Lu Miao.
Hu Zhiyuan came here frequently before, and he was afraid that people would gossip about him.
So they cleverly spread the news early on that Lu Miao's family came from a high-ranking leader's family.
The leader lives far away and it is inconvenient for him to come and see my daughter, so I greeted them and asked them to come over occasionally to help take care of her.
Everyone in Dahe Village now knows that Lu Miao has a high social status.
Some people envied Fu Jingyou for not only marrying the most beautiful girl among the educated youth, but were also jealous that Fu Jingyou had climbed up such a high branch.
Another group of people thought that Fu Jingyou was right and Lu Miao was from the Wang family.
Otherwise, why was the Fu family so unlucky before, but so successful now?
If you think about it carefully, didn’t all the changes start after Fu Jingyou and Lu Miao got married?
"How many young men in the team secretly targeted Lu Zhiqing before? But no one dared to go up..."
"Oh, what a turn of events! Xiaoliu got the upper hand, and look how prosperous he is now."
"I've got my baby, and I've also bought this fancy bicycle. It's the first one for the Second Production Team of Dahe Village..."
"It's hard to say it's all Lu Zhiqing's credit. Xiaoliu is also hardworking and capable!"
The members' comments were mixed.
But Chen Miaomiao didn't care what they thought.
Chen Miaomiao had just come out of the paddy field and was shaking off the leeches clinging to her legs.
Leeches were still wriggling on the edge of the field, but Chen Miaomiao wiped the sweat off her forehead and slowly stood up.
With a pair of round eyes, she watched Fu Jingyou's back as he rode his bicycle farther and farther away. In her heart, she felt conflicted, unfair, and jealous.
At present, Fu Jingyou is indeed very outstanding, but many things have changed and it is impossible to judge what his future will be like.
Chen Miaomiao thought that there was a high probability that he would farm in Dahe Village for the rest of his life.
It was impossible for Lu Miao, with her arrogant and spoiled personality, to tolerate it.
To put it bluntly, both of them scored in the end!
Chen Miaomiao was ready to see the joke, but what happened?
