After hearing this, everyone was speechless.
Hu Guilan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that paying a few dollars was still within her acceptable range.
Then Li Mei asked, "Sister-in-law, don't you have other brothers? Why doesn't Uncle Hu let them try?"
"The second one is even less intelligent than a bullet, the third one is too dumb, and the fourth one doesn't even know which way the black market door opens. If you rely on them, you'll probably lose everything."
Everyone: ...
It was really hard to know how to respond to this, so everyone just stared at each other.
After a long while, the strange atmosphere was finally broken. Li Chen stammered, "Mom, I want to buy a bicycle. Can you give me some industrial coupons?"
Sun Xiu frowned. "Why do you need a bicycle? Wouldn't it be nice to ride your dad's car to work? Besides, the money you've saved isn't enough, is it?"
Although Li Chen's job was given to him by Li Xu, he still had to hand over half of his salary to his family every month.
Logically speaking, he has been working for a year and a half now, and the money he has saved is enough to buy a bicycle.
But the problem is that this kid is greedy and will buy cakes from time to time.
Even though there are no high-priced pastries now, you can only buy them at a fair price with food coupons or pastry coupons.
But this kid bought so much.
Not only do they eat it themselves, but they also share some with their family members.
Of course, there was nothing he could do about it, since he had to exchange his food coupons for food at home.
In this way, the money he had was far from enough.
Li Chen replied with a hint of embarrassment, "I'm already a grown-up, and I still have to sit on the front bar of a bicycle. How embarrassing! It's okay if I don't have enough money. Brother, just lend me some. I'll pay it back slowly."
There are now three people from the Li family working in the hemp spinning factory, but there is only one car.
Sun Xiu naturally couldn't sit on the front bumper, so only Li Chen could sit in this position.
After hearing his explanation, Li Ping pondered and said, "You've been sitting on the front bumper for more than a year. If you felt embarrassed, you would have said it long ago. Has anyone laughed at you these past two days?"
"No, absolutely not." Li Chen answered firmly.
Seeing him like this, everyone burst out laughing, "Tell me, who laughed at you?"
"I said I don't have any, and I want to buy a car now, is that okay?"
"No, if you're embarrassed, you'll have to walk to work starting tomorrow," Sun Xiu said angrily. "All day long, you're just thinking about nonsense. Your eldest sister is a cadre, but has she bought a car? The most important thing for you right now is to save money to get married. Don't try to be superficial like that idiot. Otherwise, when your wife gets married and sees you have no money at all, she'll definitely scold you."
