Considering convenience, Gu Chengze bought a 26 bicycle, which has a lighter body and a curved beam, making it more suitable for women. Even when wearing a skirt, she can ride it without any burden.
The bicycle's exterior is light in color, the front basket is made of rattan, and a seat cushion is thoughtfully placed at the back.
Lin Jingshu's eyes sparkled with excitement, and she couldn't let go of the bicycle.
“When did you buy it?”
She didn't notice at all.
Gu Chengze raised the corner of his mouth. The bicycle was delivered yesterday, but the style was factory set. He took advantage of the break to dress it up a little. Judging from his wife's reaction, the effect was not bad.
He left his bicycle at the military camp and didn't ride it home, so he specially prepared this surprise.
"Would you like to get on and try out the seat to see if it's the right height?"
"good."
Lin Jingshu nodded.
A 26-inch bicycle is more suitable than a 28-inch bicycle. Lin Jingshu was always worried about falling into a ditch when riding a bicycle in her hometown.
Now I can finally feel relieved.
Lin Jingshu rode the bike around the door. The seat height was just right and the power system was also good.
"Auntie gives it to you."
Jiian brought a bouquet of flowers over. My aunt looked even more beautiful in her beautiful dress with the flowers.
Her eyes curved up and she smiled happily.
"Thank you, Nian Nian."
The commemorative gift was a frangipani, the center of the petals was yellow, and they opened outward in a spiral shape, gradually fading to white.
From a distance, it looks like beaten egg yolk, hence the name "plumeria".
Ji Xin: "We also picked some egg apples for Auntie."
The children always remember Lin Jingshu's care for the two little ones, and when they see something delicious or fun, they will pick some for her.
Lin Jingshu was in a better mood and thought she could make some snacks to reward Gu Chengze.
In the kitchen, she casually asked, "How much did the bike cost?"
Gu Chengze was watering the vegetables outside and immediately replied, "One hundred and twenty yuan, plus the bicycle ticket."
After saying that, he immediately added: "The money is the reward for the previous mission."
Because he wanted to buy a bicycle, he didn't tell his wife about this.
Now that I have bought the car, I have to be honest.
Lin Jingshu smiled and said, "I don't mean anything else. I'm just curious about the price of the bicycle."
You have to know that bicycles are in short supply and money and tickets are indispensable.
Gu Chengze gave all his salary to her, and he didn't think he had borrowed money from outside. If that was the case, it would be better for him to pay it back in advance.
Lin Jingshu spent a long time imagining it.
With a bicycle, Lin Jingshu can travel more conveniently and has a wider circle of activities.
On the day of the beginning of winter, Lin Jingshu received a package from home, along with an invitation from the newspaper.
Since becoming a columnist, Lin Jingshu's drawings have been exclusively provided to this newspaper.
The newspaper is going to hold an exchange meeting and invites Lin Jingshu to participate.
Her painting style is rare in this era. It has a childlike playfulness and educational significance that is in line with the times. After printing, it ranks among the top sales.
Therefore, as soon as the exchange meeting was confirmed, the newspaper immediately sent an invitation and sincerely expressed its hope that she could participate, with all round-trip travel expenses covered.
Lin Jingshu held the letter paper and frowned. Should I go?
She has been in one environment for too long and has become lazy. It takes a lot of mental preparation for her to suddenly go on a long trip.
"What happened to my wife?"
The family sent some dried fruits from the autumn harvest. When Gu Chengze came back after packing them up, he saw his wife sitting there in a daze with the letter in her hand.
Lin Jingshu told him what happened, holding her cheek and said, "I haven't decided whether to go or not."
Gu Chengze always puts his daughter-in-law's wishes first. He claims to be the person who knows his daughter-in-law best. The reason why she is distressed means that she wants to go.
"Where is the location?"
"Place?"
Lin Jingshu didn't notice it and quickly read the letter again, then a look of joy appeared on her face.
"It's in Guangshi."
This was no different from participating at home, and Lin Jingshu's worries disappeared by half.
"From my perspective, I hope you attend. The exchange meeting can spark different ideas. Who knows, you might find new ideas in the process."
My wife recently mentioned that she is lacking inspiration and doesn’t know what to paint. Perhaps changing the environment will have a different effect.
The most important thing is that she can go out and relax.
Gu Chengze was thinking about his own vacation, and shamelessly included Lin Shan's vacation in it, so that he could hopefully go with his wife.
Hearing him say that, Lin Jingshu's heart wavered, "Then I'll go."
The exchange meeting was to be held in a week, and she used this time to make arrangements at school and at home.
According to the custom in my hometown, we eat dumplings on the day of the Beginning of Winter.
Lin Jingshu went to the supply and marketing cooperative early in the morning to buy two pounds of meat to prepare dumplings.
Lin Shan also finished training early and came over to help.
"I'm eating celery today."
Gu Chengze, who was rolling out the dough, glanced at him and asked, "What's wrong? You don't like it?"
Lin Shan: "Not really, I'll do something else."
Lin Jingshu was puzzled. She had never seen her brother being picky about food, which was strange.
Lin Shan picked a handful of beans from the yard and picked them carefully.
When he looked up and met his sister's suspicious gaze, he smiled stiffly: "What's wrong, little sister?"
Lin Jingshu rubbed her chin with her fingers and looked around at Lin Shan.
Seeing this, Lin Shan felt uneasy and stood up immediately. "I'll go wash the vegetables."
Lin Jingshu's suspicions were still there, so while Lin Shan was washing the vegetables, she secretly asked Gu Chengze if he had noticed anything wrong.
Gu Chengze raised his eyebrows slightly, not expecting Lin Shan to reveal his true colors so quickly.
He didn't want to hide it from his wife, but his good brother begged him to keep it a secret, which was really embarrassing.
