"It is said that Feng Shenghui's bail is 800 yuan, which is enough to buy a residential plot in the city. As far as I know, he doesn't need such a high bail for the extent of the injury he caused." Shen Huanxi looked at Xiao Shanhe.

She suspected that Xiao Shanhe must have played a role in Feng Shenghui's high bail.

There was no expression on Xiao Shanhe's face.

"I know him. There is no clear legal stipulation on bail. It is up to the court, detention center, and police station to decide based on the actual situation, so there is a lot of room for maneuver."

"So...it's really you." Shen Huanxi's eyes widened slightly. Even though he had expected it, he was still a little surprised.

"Yeah." Xiao Shanhe did not deny it, nor did he think about denying it.

Shen Huanxi thought about it and realized that this made sense.

The police were able to arrive so promptly that day. It was definitely not as simple as someone reporting a crime. Now is the crackdown period. The police are very busy. How can they take care of everything? If someone says there is a fight in the village, is it true? The police will not believe it so easily.

I believe that if someone else had gone to report the case, the police might not have gone to Taolin Village that day.

And what if Xiao Shanhe was wrong and Feng Shenghui would never hit anyone? Then wouldn't he have called the police falsely?

Xiao Shanhe dared to do that, not afraid of being accused of making a false report, and he was confident about it. It must be because he has connections and can have some influence.

Perhaps because he had heard Lan Linxiang say many times in his previous life that Xiao Shanhe was a waste, Shen Huanxi did not have high hopes for him at the beginning.

Only after marriage did she discover that this man really gave her surprises and surprises time and time again.

It seems that you have to understand what kind of person a person is by yourself, not by hearsay. Moreover, Lan Linxiang has only one standard to judge whether a man is incompetent, that is, whether he has money.

Xiao Shanhe is indeed not as rich as Su Liming.

"This is for you." Xiao Shanhe suddenly took out another passbook.

"Ah?" The passbook had already been handed to him, so Shen Huanxi took it.

Xiao Shanhe had already opened the passbook. She looked at the first page and saw a deposit of 360 yuan on September 11, 1983.

It is a newly opened passbook, and the 360 ​​yuan is the first fund change.

"This is..."

"I earned it. I'll give it to you."

"I'm not..." Shen Huanxi felt a little embarrassed.

When she first got married, she accepted the passbook that Xiao Shanhe gave her, but it was because she didn't want people to think that she was easy to bully. She would rather let the Xiao family think that she was a bad person, so that they wouldn't make things difficult for her and Chang'an Changning.

After spending this period of time together, she had a general understanding of the Xiao family and felt that she no longer needed to play the role of a villain, so she no longer needed to care about Xiao Shanhe's money.

She can make money on her own.

"How come you have money again?"

"I made some money designing small parts for a few machine shops."

"I don't need it..." Shen Huanxi returned the passbook. "I have my own salary, 35 yuan a month. When I become a regular employee, it will be 45 yuan a month. Besides, I can also make money speculating in stamps."

"I know you'll need it if you take it."

"Um?"

"You don't think that Feng Shenghui's bail of 800 yuan is just to keep him in prison for a while? Chen Fugui will lose his job and will definitely sue. By then, Feng Shenghui's bail will be more than 800 yuan."

"Hmm? Go on."

"I have learned that the Feng family has two residential plots in Taolin Village. Feng Shenghui is the only son of this generation of the Feng family. He inherited the old Feng family house. This is one of them, and the other is the house you built.

Yao Cuihong and Li Cuixiang had no source of income. If they wanted to make money to support Feng Shenghui, they could only find a way from the two residential plots.

Rural housing land can only be transferred collectively, but villagers have no shortage of housing land, and it is worthless without a good house, so they are likely to try to sell their current house, and they are in a hurry to sell it, so you can buy it back at a low price. "

"Ah... this..." After hearing what Xiao Shanhe said, Shen Huanxi felt stunned.

Could it be that this man had already planned all these things step by step from the moment he reported to the police to arrest Feng Shenghui?

"Why, you don't want to take back the house you built?"

"Yes!" Of course she did.

If she hadn't been busy with her household registration in Chang'an and Changning, her schooling, and her work, she would have tried to find a way to get the house back.

She never thought that Xiao Shanhe had planned this for her without any warning.

At first, she wanted to make use of the two photos that Xiao Shanhe found for her, but she thought that the relationship between Li Cuixiang and the Feng family would break down because of the photos, and Li Cuixiang would sell the house at a low price.

After all, this is what Li Cuixiang did in her previous life after Feng Shenghui got into trouble.

As a result, the photo did not affect Li Cuixiang's status in the Feng family. Yao Cuihong even went to the city with Li Cuixiang to look for someone, which made her plan fail.

Now it seems that Xiao Shanhe's method is more reliable.

After all, it was several decades later that Li Cuixiang sold the Feng family's real estate in her previous life. Now she has just been married for a short time, and the transfer of the homestead must first be approved by the organization, and the village committee may not agree.

But if it was Yao Cuihong who was selling it, there would be no problem.

They were in a hurry to use the money to save Feng Shenghui, so the price would definitely not be high.

"What if they think of other ways to get the money?" Shen Huanxi was worried about this problem again.

Xiao Shanhe gently tapped the armrest of his wheelchair with his finger.

"No, I have done a thorough investigation. Yao Cuihong and Li Cuixiang do not have any relatives or friends with particularly good conditions. Eight hundred yuan is not a small amount."

"Well... Actually you can ask me these questions directly. Don't I know Yao Cuihong's situation?"

"I didn't ask you, but you found out. It's hard for you to take care of the kids. This is what I should do."

"Um..." Shen Huanxi wanted to say "thank you", but felt that it would seem too distant, so he didn't say it.

She just felt that she got much more than she imagined.

She married Xiao Shanhe just to give her child a household registration so that he could go to school and stay away from the dust of the village. But now she realizes that she got much more than that.

Not to mention the respect, fatherly love and stability the two children received, Xiao Shanhe also did a lot for them, but she never asked for any of these.

Looking back to her past life, both of her husbands had done nothing for her and her children, not even the most basic gratitude.

Just like in the Feng family, the Feng family took it for granted that she earned money to support the family, and they also thought that her care for the children was what she should do as a woman, and they never showed any sympathy.

She had never heard the four words "thank you for your hard work" from Feng Shenghui and Yao Cuihong, nor from Su Chaoyang and Jiang Shufen.

But, she heard it from the mouth of Xiao Shanhe, who was treated as a tool by her.

"What do you think of me?" Shen Huanxi suddenly asked.

"Thoughtful, kind, and gentle. I saw everything you did for the children. Zhengzheng likes you very much, and so does Tangtang. It's just that he is not good at expressing it, and he is unwilling to admit that you are gradually gaining a place in his heart."

"You are the most thoughtful person." Shen Huanxi sighed.

"You know what? When I was in the Feng family, the Feng family also thought I was gentle and kind. When Yao Cuihong mentioned me, the word she used most often was 'gentle'.

That’s why the Feng family used to bully me, exploit me, squeeze me, and suck my blood dry without even a word of gratitude.

The saying that good people are often bullied is true. Yao Cuihong still thinks I am easy to bully, so she came to my door a few days ago and tried to force me to pay her. "

When Shen Huanxi said this, he really wanted to say to Xiao Shanhe, "But you are different."

Xiao Shanhe is really different. After he sees her patience with Tang Tang Zheng Zheng, he will keep it in mind and will not take it for granted.

He will truly respect her, care about her, understand her and appreciate her.

But after saying these words, Shen Huanxi always felt that they were a bit corny, so she stopped saying them.

"That's perfect." Xiao Shanhe said suddenly.

“Hmm???????” Shen Huanxi was confused after hearing that.

What does it mean to be just right? Yao Cuihong thought she was easy to bully, and she was forced to pay money after the divorce, but he actually agreed?

"I mean, it's better for them to think you're kind, so that if something bad happens to them again, they won't think it has anything to do with you."

“Hmm??????????????????????What else do you want to do to them??????????”

…

Yao Cuihong and Li Cuixiang went around the city and borrowed a dozen yuan.

A dozen dollars, what's the use?

Li Cuixiang used to like hanging out in dance halls and billiard rooms. She was young and quite pretty, so she had a lot of fun hanging out with the men in dance halls and billiard rooms and thought she was very popular.

Now she realizes that those men all have ulterior motives. Knowing that she has married Feng Shenghui, who would be willing to care about her?

In addition, the fact that Chen Fugui was beaten by Feng Shenghui was known to everyone in the city. Everyone was afraid of being beaten like Chen Fugui, so they wanted to stay away from her even more.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law both looked worried when they returned home. Feng Fulong didn't understand anything yet, so he came over and rummaged through Li Cuixiang's cloth bag.

"Didn't you buy me any delicious food when you went to the city? Grandma, Xiaohua from the village chief's house is eating bubble gum. She can eat anything she wants. You said I was your golden nugget, so why didn't you buy me some bubble gum?"

Yao Cuihong was very upset, but she couldn't bear to talk about her grandson, so she took out a dime and gave it to Feng Fulong.

"You can use it to buy bubble gum."

"Bubblegum is fifty cents! I want fifty cents!"

Yao Cuihong gritted her teeth and took out another 40 cents and gave it to Feng Fulong, "Take it."

Feng Fulong took the money without saying thank you, put it in his pocket and ran to take pictures. Before leaving the door, he turned around and made a face at Yao Cuihong.

"Lululu, bubble gum is only a penny! Lululu!"

Li Cuixiang didn't say anything when she saw Feng Fulong's expression. Anyway, she knew that Yao Cuihong favored boys over girls, so she would spoil him.

Yao Cuihong was busy worrying about Feng Shenghui's affairs and had no time to care about Feng Fulon. Besides, she didn't want to care about him. Boys are smart at best if they are naughty.

"Mom, we can't come up with so much money in a short time. It seems we have no choice but to sell the house." Li Cuixiang said as she looked around the house.

The floor is paved with cement, the walls are painted with white putty, and they are so high. With so many rooms, it can fetch a lot of money if sold.

Yao Cuihong almost jumped up when she heard her say that.

"How can we sell it? You don't know how conspicuous and beautiful our house is in the village! Even the home of Director Li of the Village Committee is not so grand! Even the home of businessman Zhang San is not so grand. We can live in such a nice house, how can we sell it just like that! We haven't even lived in this house for long, and you want to sell it!"

"What else can we do? Isn't our old house still there? It's not like we have nowhere else to live. The most urgent thing now is to get Shenghui out first.

I have heard a lot about detention centers before. Someone went in the night before and was beaten to death the next day. All the prisoners in there were convicted of crimes. Who can guarantee that nothing will happen when Shenghui is with so many prisoners? "

"Ouch!" Yao Cuihong turned pale with fright after hearing what Li Cuixiang said.

It's not like she hasn't heard about what happened in the detention center. The economy has developed rapidly in recent years, and some gangsters have emerged accordingly. Now the country is cracking down on it, and many people have been sent to the detention center. The grandson of the old Li family in the village was one of them. He was arrested for gambling and sent to the detention center. When he came out, one of his legs was broken.

Yao Cuihong was scared.

…

September 19th is the day when the special stamp "Family Planning Stamp" is issued.

Shen Huanxi finished his work for the day one day in advance and did not go to the unit. He queued at the gate of the post office early in the morning.

She got up at six o'clock and arrived before half past six. She even bought some soy milk and fried dough sticks on Nanjing Road and ate them on the way.

But when she arrived at the post office, she found that there were already more than a dozen people queuing, so she hurried over to queue.

After asking, I found out that they were all here to buy family planning tickets.

The last time she came to buy stamps, she found that no one around her was aware of stamp speculation. How come there are so many people suddenly?

She was munching on a dough stick while waiting in line. Others came one after another and she was even recognized by others.

"Aren't you the lesbian who lined up to sell stamps at the gate of Taoyuan Elementary School that day? As expected, you're here today."

Shen Huanxi looked over and saw a woman in her early thirties, who was also the one who bought stamps from her stall that day.

She nodded and saw several other parents who had bought stamps from her that day.

Everyone saw that she could make money selling stamps that day, so they followed suit and came to buy stamps.

Shen Huanxi knew that speculation on stamps was a rage all over the country in the 1980s. In some big cities, the post office would even be paralyzed on the day of stamp issuance.

There are also many cities that have special stamp markets dedicated to buying and selling stamps.

The reason why this industry is so prosperous is because it can make money. If it can make money, people will naturally follow suit.

She was selling stamps at the school gate that day to let people know that they could make money, and now some people are following suit, right?

Shen Huanxi had long known that after 1995 the stamp speculation craze would spread from big cities to small cities and even to rural towns, so it was not surprising.

Not long after, the post office finally opened.

Shen Huanxi watched the people in front of her buying bags of stamps. When it was her turn, she only had one Da Tuanjie banknote on her except Xiao Shanhe's passbook. She took out all the remaining savings, including the money she earned from selling stamps at the elementary school gate last time, and bought family planning tickets.

After buying the ticket, she left and saw that the people behind her were also buying family planning tickets, but in addition to family planning tickets, they also bought ordinary tickets.

It seems that even though they are all involved in stamp speculation, there are still differences between people. After all, Shen Huanxi was reborn, so his stamp investment is more precise than theirs.

After buying the stamps, Shen Huanxi did not sit idle. Instead, she put a large bag of family planning stamps into a box and locked it. Then she took out the stamps that she had not sold before and went straight to the post office.

There were quite a few stamp speculators queuing up to buy family planning tickets at the post office, so Shen Huanxi set up her stall in front of the post office.

The stamp speculation craze has already started, but it has not yet reached its full-scale stage. There will not be traffic jams in front of the post office, and she will not be driven away if she sets up a stall here.

Soon, people who wanted to buy family planning tickets came to see her stamp stall.

Shen Huanxi didn't waste any time and directly quoted a price.

"Mu Guiying's ticket, twelve yuan, Cui Yingying's ticket, ten yuan, Xuanyuanbai's ticket, four yuan..."

These stamps were originally priced high, so if she resold them, the price would definitely go up, and it would definitely be a lot. She didn't sell many stamps at the elementary school gate that day because the price was high.

Everyone who came to watch gasped.

"Comrade, aren't you selling it too expensively? Take this Mu Guiying ticket for example, the face value is only 80 cents, but you dare to sell it for 12 yuan. This is too much of a markup." Someone said.

Shen Huanxi shook his head.

"Comrade, I went to a big city to ask about this price. These tickets are priced this way in big cities now. I asked about this a while ago, and the price must have gone up now.

If you are all here to buy family planning tickets, let's be frank. Isn't it normal for the price of my stamps to increase?

I will sell them at this price, not less. I won’t feel bad if I can’t sell them, because I know the value of these tickets will definitely increase if I keep them, so I won’t lose money if I keep them.”

"Comrade, I want them! You have ten Mu Guiying tickets here, I want them all!" A middle-aged man with a big belly came over, as if he was afraid of being snatched away by others. He didn't bargain with Shen Huanxi, threw twelve big group tickets on Shen Huanxi's stall, and took away all the ten Mu Guiying tickets that Shen Huanxi had put out.

The others also reacted and hurriedly took out money to buy stamps with Shen Huanxi.

She is right. The price of these stamps will still increase. It is definitely worthwhile to buy them and hoard them. There is still room for them to appreciate in value. So why not buy them?

Not to mention that those high-priced stamps she sells now cost several or even tens of dollars each. No matter how expensive they are, as long as they have money, they will still buy them!

If you buy one for a few dollars now, you may be able to sell it for tens of dollars in a few years.

Everyone thought the same and was willing to pay. Before long, all the stamps Shen Huanxi brought out were sold out.

Shen Huanxi happily carried a heavy bag full of money.

She bought the stamps for more than 200 yuan, and originally thought that selling them for more than 2,000 yuan would be enough. However, she didn't expect that the stamps actually sold for more than 3,000 yuan, not to mention the money she spent on buying family planning tickets early in the morning.

Shen Huanxi did not go home immediately. Now that she had money in hand, she returned to the lobby of the post office.

In just one morning, all the family planning tickets at the post office were sold out.

Of course, Shen Huanxi didn't come back to buy family planning tickets. She bought the Huabiao tickets, □□ tickets, and the Forbidden City tickets that were still in stock...

When she has no spare money, she will not buy these ordinary tickets indiscriminately like those stamp speculators just now.

But she now has a large sum of money on hand, and the special family planning stamps have been sold out. There is not much room for the price of these ordinary stamps to increase, but it is better to buy them and hoard them than to keep the money in the bank.

Prices are rising particularly fast these days. If you deposit 100 yuan in a bank, the interest will be at most 100 yuan after a year. The few yuan you earn can buy a few pounds of pork now, but in a few years, you may not even be able to afford a meal.

Shen Huanxi bought another thousand yuan worth of ordinary stamps before happily carrying her heavy briefcase out.

Believe me, it was really heavy and bulging, almost filling up her not-so-small purse.

As soon as he went out, he saw Su Chaoyang and Jiang Shufen, and Shen Huanxi frowned.

She was just too lucky today, so did God let her meet two annoying people to calm her mood?

She wanted to take a detour, but Su Chaoyang and his mother had already seen her. Jiang Shufen walked up to her first.

"Shen Huanxi, you looked down on our Su family, and now you marry a divorced, disabled man with children in a wheelchair?" Jiang Shufen said with a sneer.

Shen Huanxi hugged her bag tightly. She was not irritated by her. Instead, she smiled.

"How is he disabled? He has two sons, right? How can someone with sons be disabled?"

As soon as Shen Huanxi finished speaking, Su Chaoyang and his mother's faces fell.

Shen Huanxi knew what they were most reluctant to face.

In her previous life, Su Chaoyang and her son tried every possible way to make her pregnant and give birth to a son. She took ovulation pills, had ovulation injections, and tried all kinds of folk remedies, but still couldn't get pregnant.

The problem is not with her, but with Su Chaoyang.

Not only was Su Chaoyang's "seed" quality poor, he was also not very good in that aspect. However, Su Chaoyang was very persistent in wanting a son, and Jiang Shufen also wanted a grandson very much, so they used various methods to torment her.

Su Chaoyang himself knew about his physical problems. As a mama's boy, he would definitely not hide these things from Jiang Shufen. This was also the thing that the mother and son were most reluctant to face.

Isn't what Shen Huanxi said a precise blow? And it's a double blow. After all, Xiao Shanhe is not only "capable", but also has two sons.

Shen Huanxi doesn't have any idea of ​​favoring boys over girls. In her eyes, boys and girls are the same, but Su Chaoyang and his mother do.

The mother and son had this idea, and she just mentioned that Xiao Shanhe had two sons. What is this called? Using magic to defeat magic.

Su Chaoyang and Jiang Shufen were so angry that they pointed at Shen Huanxi's nose after a while.

"How can you talk like that? You..."

"Everyone, come and see! Come and see!" Shen Huanxi interrupted Jiang Shufen and shouted loudly.

She is not the submissive little white flower in her previous life.

There were people coming and going at the entrance of the post office. When she shouted, many people gathered around. Why not watch the excitement?

"Everyone, look, this man is Su Chaoyang. He came to propose to me, but I didn't like him. Now he brings his mother here to block me, pester me, and laugh at me for being unable to stand up as a man.

But my man can't stand up because he was injured at work. He is a capable man and has a pension.

And what about them? This Su Chaoyang is an illegitimate child, his mother is not his father's legal wife, and now both mother and son rely on Su Chaoyang's brother for food, both of them are complete parasites!"

After Shen Huanxi finished shouting, those who came to see the excitement started pointing at Su Chaoyang and his mother, and some even recognized them.

"Ah, isn't this the younger brother of Boss Su from the furniture store? He's a half-brother, but he's actually an illegitimate child... I thought Boss Su's parents were divorced."

“It’s so embarrassing.”

…

Shen Huanxi was very satisfied after hearing these discussions.

Su Chaoyang and his mother were extremely angry, but unfortunately they could not say much, so they hurried back to their private car.

Shen Huanxi shouted at their private car.

"Wow! Su Chaoyang! Jiang Shufen! I envy you so much! You can own a private car without any effort! You are indeed the women and illegitimate children of men outside! You are amazing!"

Jiang Shufen and Su Chaoyang got into the car, slammed the door shut, and drove away.

Shen Huanxi watched them driving very fast and felt relaxed both physically and mentally.

I also think that Su Chaoyang and her son are really stupid. How could they fall twice in the same place? Last time in the village, didn't she make them look bad in public? And now they dare to come to her and pick a fight.

Come to think of it, if this mother and son had some brains, they wouldn't have had to rely on her to survive their entire lives. Now they probably have to rely on Su Liming and Lan Linxiang.

…

This is not the age of "laughing at poverty rather than at prostitution". Calling someone "illegitimate child" or "mistress" sounds bad when it is spread out.

Even if I am really a mistress or an illegitimate child, I don't want others to say it.

Su Chaoyang and Jiang Shufen had just been pointed at in public, and they both felt very embarrassed. When they got in the car, both mother and son's faces turned red as livers, and it was unclear whether they were angry or embarrassed.

"How's the response from your eldest brother? Will he allow you to participate in the furniture business?" Jiang Shufen asked while driving.

Su Chaoyang slammed the chair in annoyance.

"I would like to go, but my eldest sister-in-law insisted that I start from the bottom as an employee. I am my eldest brother's younger brother. Why? That woman Lan Linxiang, her last name is Lan, not Su. Why does she have the right to interfere in the affairs of our Su family, and why does she have the right to interfere in my affairs!"

"Go talk to your eldest brother when you have time. Don't go when Lan Linxiang is around. Your eldest brother will definitely not listen to you if she is around."

"Mom! Why do you let me go? Can't you help me?" Su Chaoyang complained.

Jiang Shufen frowned.

"Son, I want to help you, but you know who I am. Su Liming's mother was angered to death by me. Do you think Su Liming will pay attention to me if I go to him? Go by yourself."

"Trouble. Mom, I still want to find another capable woman, someone who can make money like Shen Huanxi. Please help me find another one who is as pretty and capable as Shen Huanxi. I want her to make money for me and give me a son."

"Okay, okay, I'll find it for you, but please don't say the three words 'Shen Huanxi'. I get angry when you mention it!"

…

On weekends, Shen Huanxi doesn't have to go to work and the four children don't have to go to school. When Shen Huanxi has free time, she takes the four children to buy bicycles.

The workplace is not far from home, but it is still inconvenient to walk to and from get off work, so Shen Huanxi thought about riding a bicycle.

Since he had bought a bicycle for himself, Shen Huanxi also wanted to buy some for his children.

But when they arrived at the bicycle shop, Shen Huanxi realized how awkward it was.

A popular bicycle brand these days is Phoenix, which is made by a state-owned factory and has excellent quality.

Shen Huanxi remembers that when she was in the 2000s, she could still see Phoenix brand bicycles on the streets, and their quality was impeccable.

But she forgot that in 1983, Phoenix bicycles only had two models: 28 inches and 26 inches.

Shen Huanxi had no idea whether the state-owned brand Phoenix would produce bicycles of other sizes. She only knew that the bicycles of various sizes that were particularly popular among children in later generations were all private brands.

But even for private brand bicycles, it took several years for people to start producing them. Where could you find one at that time?

Chang'an was only seven years old, and the oldest, Xiao Yutang, was only eight years old. For children of seven or eight years old, even a 26-inch bike was too big for them.

You don't need a ticket to buy a bicycle these days, but they are still only sold in state-owned bicycle dealers. Shen Huanxi looked at the rows of 28-inch bicycles, and then at the rows of 26-inch bicycles, and he was completely embarrassed.

The sales clerks at the state-owned bicycle dealership all received fixed salaries, so naturally they were not that enthusiastic towards customers. When they saw Shen Huanxi coming in with the child, they pointed at the bicycle and said coldly, "Look for yourself."

Another salesperson added, "If you have any questions, just ask. But please keep an eye on your children and don't let them damage the items in the store, or you will be charged for them."

Shen Huanxi knew that the sales clerks in state-owned stores these days were all like this. She thought that they wouldn't be able to show off for many more years. In a few years, the private economy would impact the state-owned brands and they would be out of business, just like people like her who came from a state-owned hotel. Then she would see how they could still be so arrogant.

Thinking of this, Shen Huanxi was too lazy to argue with them.

After thinking for a long time, she finally bought two 26-inch bicycles, one for her and one for Zhang Guifen. She used one for commuting to get off work, and Zhang Guifen used one for shopping.

In addition, Changan and Xiao Yutang can also learn to ride on weekends.

Shen Huanxi recalled the lives of ordinary people in the 1980s. Children at that time did not have bicycles that suited their height like children in later generations, but many children could ride adults' bicycles.

Even in the 1990s, there were children who learned to ride bicycles using adult bicycles.

The child is not tall enough to sit on the seat of a 26-inch bicycle, so she can barely ride it while standing. She and Zhang Guifen can also ride it. A bicycle of this size is suitable for both adults and children.

A 26-inch Phoenix brand bicycle costs 180 yuan, and Shen Huanxi bought two.

In addition, she also bought a three-wheeled bicycle for children each for Changning and Xiao Yuzheng.

At that time, there were no smaller two-wheeled bicycles, but three-wheeled bicycles for children were already available.

These two strollers cost twenty dollars each, so the total cost today is exactly four hundred dollars.

When the salesperson at the state-owned car dealership saw that she bought so many things at once, the salesperson who had been unfriendly just now came over to her enthusiastically.

There is no commission for selling things in state-owned stores, but each of them has a sales mission.

Shen Huanxi was pleased to see them licking her face, so she didn't give them a good look either. It was them who had been so sullen when she first arrived.

After paying the money, I went out with the children. The salesperson even set off a few strings of firecrackers for them. This was a tradition when buying big items in that era. Let alone buying a bicycle that cost more than 100 yuan, even if you went to a state-owned electrical appliance store to buy a kettle, people might set off firecrackers for you for good luck.

On the way, Shen Huanxi asked Chang'an and Xiao Yutang to push a cart each, while Xiao Yuzheng and Changning rode their own tricycles, and they all walked slowly back home together.

Chang'an and Xiao Yutang were only seven or eight years old and had never learned to ride a bicycle, but they knew how to push a bicycle. Both children were very excited along the way.

"There are only a few families in our village who own bicycles! I never thought I would have one too! I will go back to the village and tell Sister Xiaohua about it when the time comes!" Changning said with a smile.

"I also want to learn how to ride a bicycle. Those guys in the alley who have bicycles always show off everywhere. When the time comes, I want to ride up to them!" Xiao Yutang said proudly.

"Okay, I'll teach you two how to ride when I have time." Shen Huanxi smiled.

Chang Ning and Xiao Yu were riding their little bicycles. Two kids, only three or four years old, were actually racing each other.

Kids car?

The state-owned bicycle shop was not far from Guixiang Village, and they soon turned into the alley. There were few cars in those days, and there were almost no cars in Guixiang Village. Shen Huanxi felt a lot more relieved.

She told the two little ones to slow down, but she found that she only needed to quicken her pace, and the two short legs could not be faster than her no matter how hard they tried.

After all, it's a children's car, so it's slow to speed up.

Shen Huanxi felt comfortable seeing Changan and Changning looking happy.

She remembered that in her previous life, a few years after she brought Chang'an and Changning to marry Su Chaoyang, the two children also mentioned that they wanted bicycles.

Su Chaoyang heard it, and secretly together with Jiang Shufen, he scolded Chang'an and Changning for being country girls who had never seen the world and were not presentable. It was shameful that they were so eager for something just like riding a bicycle.

After hearing this, the two girls felt very sad and suffered psychological trauma.

However, Shen Huanxi did not know about this until her child had grown up long ago.

But by then, the children had been ridiculed more than once by Jiang Shufen and her son for various reasons, and they were deeply traumatized. Even if she knew, she could not heal the two children, let alone compensate them, because it was too late.

Now that she has been reborn and returned to this time, Chang'an and Changning will no longer suffer from those ridicules, and will no longer suffer psychological trauma. She will compensate them double for what she owed them in her previous life.

In this life, they must grow up happily and be healthy, both physically and mentally, and be able to realize their dreams. Her Chang'an and Changning must have a beautiful and happy life in this life.

…

Zhang Guifen and Xiao Shanhe don't care how Shen Huanxi spends her money. Besides, it's her own money, so it's okay even if she goes to a department store and buys a bunch of brand-name clothes.

But when she found out that she had also bought a bicycle for Zhang Guifen, she became unhappy.

"Why don't you just buy your own? Why are you buying anything for me?"

"I'm not buying it for my mother. I'm buying it for my family." Shen Huanxi brought up what Xiao Shanhe had said.

Every time Xiao Shanhe bought something for her, didn't he always say "buy it for the family?"

After hearing her say this, Zhang Guifen really didn't know what to say.

Shen Huanxi looked at Chang'an and Xiao Yutang again.

"Besides, Changan and Tangtang are grown up now. Many children in the city know how to ride bicycles, so they have to learn. How can we divide the two children's bicycle? You ride for a while and I ride for a while? I'm afraid they will fight. It's better to have two bicycles."

“That’s true.”

"I won't fight with Chang'an." Xiao Yutang said suddenly.

Chang'an smiled like a little apple. The baby fat on the face of a girl of this age is really beautiful and chubby.

"A few days ago, Fang Xiaowan wanted to grab my braid to scare me, and my brother ran out to stop him and scolded him. Fang Xiaowan said that my brother was pretending, saying that brothers and sisters always fight at home, and he was pretending to protect his sister. My brother then told him that he would never fight with his sister, right, brother?" Chang'an pulled Xiao Yutang's sleeve.

Xiao Yutang's face suddenly turned red all the way to his neck.

He treated Chang'an and Changning as his own sisters, but he felt embarrassed to admit it in front of Shen Huanxi.

"I just can't stand Fang Xiaowan's smug look, so I cursed back. I'm bored, I'm going to go look at the bicycles."

Xiao Yutang turned around and ran to the bicycle parked in the yard. Changning and Xiao Yu were riding their children's tricycles in the yard, and Changan followed Xiao Yutang over.

Shen Huanxi looked at Xiao Yutang's back and found that his earlobes were red.

In some ways, she found that Xiao Yutang and Xiao Shanhe were quite similar.

…

The family bought a bicycle, and Shen Huanxi wanted to celebrate. After discussing with Zhang Guifen, they decided to cook a table of dishes.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law acted without delay and rushed to the vegetable market together, where the new bicycle came in handy.

Shen Huanxi went to buy vegetables, and Zhang Guifen went to buy meat.
