Buy a tricycle
Xiaogou Village, Qin Wenzhen’s home.
Hearing that the Qin family had bought a TV, the neighbors came to watch after dinner. Just as Qin Wen was about to install the antenna, several men volunteered to help.
Qin Wenzhen found a tree pole of suitable size and installed the antenna on it according to the instructions. Then the two of them worked together to tie the tree pole to the top of the clothesline against the wall.
"Is it done?"
"Okay, let go and try..."
"Well, I heard that some of them still have snow screens, and they need to rotate the antenna..."
Leaving one person standing on the wall, Qin Wenzhen went into the room, plugged in the power and turned on the TV according to the instructions.
It was indeed a snowflake. Qin Wenzheng quickly read the instructions and said:
"I'll go out and watch. If you see any images, shout..."
"well……"
Qin Wenzheng came outside the courtyard and directed the man on the wall to gently turn the TV antenna and shouted into the house:
"Have you got it?"
"No……"
As it slowly turned, a crackling sound came from the black and white TV, and gradually a human figure appeared among the black and white stripes.
"Hey, just don't move, don't move, there's a signal, there's a signal..."
A man ran out of the room and shouted.
"Okay, come down and slow down..."
After Qin Wenzhen finished giving his instructions and entered the house, he saw a human figure appearing on the screen, which was originally a black and white snowflake.
"What's this?"
Seeing the heads shaking on the screen and two people speaking strange lines, someone asked.
"It's written in 'Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin'," Qin Wenzhen said.
"Oh, you still need to know how to read. If you can't read, you can't even watch TV..." someone sighed.
"Okay, shut up and watch quietly..." someone muttered from behind.
So everyone sat in a row quietly, staring at the screen carefully.
Only Chen Xiulian curled her lips: Wen Zheng and his wife just don’t know how to live. It’s such a waste of electricity to hire so many people!
Someone muttered, "I heard that Wenli's family also bought it?"
"I bought it, but Wenli hasn't come back yet, so I haven't installed it yet..."
"Oh, where has Wenli been? Why hasn't he come back yet?"
"Look, their biological parents are gone, what else can they do?" the man said with a wink.
Chen Xiulian's ears twitched slightly and the corners of her mouth curled up: I said Hu Yufeng was a fool, but you see, children are always closest to their biological parents!

In the old Qin family, when Qin Wenli and his family of four left, it was like taking away the soul of the family.
The three old men in the yard were all so quiet that even Qin Shengtian felt a little uncomfortable. Normally it wouldn’t be noticeable when there were a lot of people around, but suddenly when there were no people around, people noticed why the old woman stopped swearing.
The old lady has been like a frost-bitten eggplant these past two days. She is listless and doesn't say a word. She has no appetite either, which makes Hu Yufeng worried.
"If Wenli doesn't come back, do you plan to just endure it first?" she said bluntly at the dinner table.
The old lady wiped her tears and said, "When he left so suddenly, the yard was empty without even a sound of a person. I was so worried..."
Hu Yufeng paused for a moment and said, "You're already missing me so much after only being gone for one day. How about taking you with me when I go out next time?"
"That's not what I meant..." the old lady said in tears.
"Okay, you're just afraid that Wenli will go out with his biological mother too often. What if he recognizes his biological mother one day? Will I be angry? Don't worry, Wenli asked me in advance this time, and I agreed..."
The old lady shook her head stubbornly: "I know you are a kind-hearted person, and Wenli is not that kind of person. I just miss my kids so much..."
Qin Shengtian listened to the whole scene and said, "You just think too much. You have raised Wenli since he was a child. Don't you know what others don't know? It's impossible for him to just abandon us!"
No matter what others said, he had a blind confidence in Qin Wenli: Qin Wenli was a man who valued his reputation, so he would never lose face and abandon his parents.
From this point of view, Qin Shengtian can be said to have seen through Qin Wenli. Just like his name, Qin Wenli is indeed trapped by "ritual".
The couple argued back and forth, but it was all in vain. The old lady just insisted on her own opinion on this matter.
Forget it, Hu Yufeng let it go. Anyway, no one would starve to death in three or four days. When Wenli's family came back, the old lady recovered without any medicine.
Putting down the bowl, Qin Shengtian prepared to go out.
Hu Yufeng stopped him and asked, "Where are you going?"
Qin Shengtian was a little puzzled: "Watch TV, didn't Wen Zheng buy a TV?"
"We have one at home, too. What are you going there for?"
"Isn't this installed yet? Let me go take a look at what it looks like..."
"There will definitely be a lot of people talking today, why are you joining in the fun? I'll ask Wen Zheng to help us press the button tomorrow..."
Qin Shengtian would easily lose his mind when there were too many people around. If he was tricked by someone, just wait and see. The whole village would spread the news that Wenli was leaving home tomorrow!
Qin Shengtian turned around dejectedly. His elder brother wouldn't let him chat or watch TV. He was so annoyed!

The next day, Qingyuan Qin's family.
After breakfast, Qin Wenping came to the door and shouted:
"Wenli, have you finished eating? Shall we go watch the tricycle?"
Qin Wenli: It was just drunken talk, I just said that, how come you still remember it?
He refused: "Fourth brother, I really don't want to buy it now, I'll wait until I have enough money..."
"Don't waste time, I have money, let's go and see!" Qin Wenping pulled his brother and left.
Qin Wenjun quickly put on his shoes: "Wait, I'll go too..."
As a result, the older man pushing a motorcycle arrived. Qin Wenjun threw a melon-shaped hat to each of them and said, "Put it on. The tricycle seller is in the western suburbs. Ride the motorcycle faster."
At this point, Qin Wenli stopped being pretentious and grabbed his hat and put it on.
Riding a motorcycle is indeed fast. In less than ten minutes, we were already at the gate of Xijiao Agricultural Machinery Company.
"Go in and take a look..."
Qin Wenjun locked the motorcycle, and the three of them went straight to the tricycle parking spot.
Brand new tricycles were neatly arranged, and the blue bodies shone coldly under the warm winter sun, making them look cold.
Qin Wenli was not afraid of the cold at all. He took off his gloves, touched and patted the sturdy railing.
The salesperson asked with a smile on his face: "How many of you are going to look at the tricycles?"
Qin Wenping nodded: "Yes, it is used at home. Can you recommend some?"
"Our company is the agent for selling tricycles of many brands. The one in front of you is Shifeng. You must have heard of 'Shifeng Shifeng, smooth roads everywhere'. Shifeng's current sales volume ranks second in the country. This brand of tricycle can pull a lot, whether it is pulling crops or bricks on construction sites. The price is moderate, around 5,000..."
"This is Wuzheng, one of the top ten brands in the country. It's durable and inexpensive, about 5,000 or more..."
Qin Wenli looked at these big guys as the salesperson introduced them, and his gaze finally fell on the little guy at the edge.
Qin Wenping interrupted the salesperson and asked, "What about the one at the edge?"
"Oh, this is Lantuo, a local brand from our northwest. It's of high quality, strong and durable, but it's small in size and not as big in loading capacity as the previous ones. But it's enough for home use..."
"What's the price?"
"4500, compared with those from Shandong, it's very affordable!"
"Okay, let's discuss it..." Qin Wenping said.
The salesperson smiled and stepped aside.
"What do you think? Which one do you like?" Qin Wenjun asked?
"If I were to buy one, I'd go for the Lantuo. It does look a little small, but it's more than enough for pulling things."
Qin Wenping thought that the price difference was only five hundred to one thousand, so it was worthwhile to get it all in one go.
Qin Wenjun agreed with Qin Wenli: "If it's too big, it will definitely waste fuel. Wenli is not going to run a business of hauling goods, so there's no need to buy a big one that will be in vain."
Qin Wenping was convinced, and looked at his brother and said, "Then Lan Tuo, it's settled. If you don't complain anymore, just return the money to me in half a year..."
Qin Wenli couldn't help but laugh and said, "What will you do if I don't have money?"
"If you don't have money, just consider it a gift from me. Don't worry, I, your brother, do have this little money!"
Qin Wenjun couldn't help but glance at him and said to Qin Wenli: "Your fourth brother has made a fortune, so you can buy it without worry. Anyway, he can't keep it if you don't buy it..."
Qin Wenping felt wronged: "Brother, what are you talking about? Why can't I save money? My money is a fixed investment..."
"Who knows if it will all be in vain in the end..." Qin Wenjun muttered.
Qin Wenping muttered to himself, and Qin Wenli then realized that his fourth brother had spent most of the money he earned on buying a storefront.
"If you want to buy a house, just buy a building, or buy one near your second brother's place. The places you are looking at are all in back alleys, there is not even a ghost..."
"It's hard to say what the future will be like now..." Qin Wenping retorted.
"Okay, buy the car now and I won't say anything to you anymore..." Qin Wenjun frowned.
Qin Wenping hurried to find the salesperson.
"Can we go up and try?"
"Of course, try the feel and brakes, and then buy it after you're satisfied..." the salesperson affirmed.
"Can you drive?" Qin Wenping looked at his brother.
Qin Wenli nodded. He had opened Qin Wenzhen’s shop several times and his skills were pretty good.
"Okay, I'll sit next to you. Big brother, will you come up?"
Qin Wenjun waved his hand: "You two try it, I'll watch from the side..."
Okay. Qin Wenli started the car skillfully and stepped on the accelerator. The tricycle moved slowly amid the roar of the engine.
After running around the yard twice, the two men stopped the car to put out the fire.
The salesperson came up and said, "How is it? It's OK, right? This model has excellent feel and power, and it's one of our best sellers."
Qin Wenli was a little excited and nodded, "Okay, then let's take this one."
"Let's go into the office and talk..."
The three followed the salesperson to the office. The salesperson asked them to sit on the sofa, poured three cups of hot water and said, "Then I will issue the invoice now?"
"Can you give me another discount? Give me a lower price..." Qin Wenping tried to bargain.
"No, brother. These are all factory-set prices. I understand how you feel, but the price really can't be lowered any further... So, we'll give you a three-year warranty. If you have any problems, we'll repair them for free within these three years."
It sounds like you will void the warranty if you lower the price, Qin Wenping complained.
But the other party refused to give in. The three brothers looked at each other, and Qin Wenping said, "Okay, then issue the ticket..."
Qin Wenli received his new tricycle at an unexpected speed after paying the money.
On the way back, he was a little excited and a little dazed: he bought the car that his family had been saving for a year and still couldn't afford?
