Jiang Shushu looked at it carefully. Apart from the paint peeling in some places, which made it look a little old, there was nothing wrong with the appearance of the bicycle.
Jiang Shushu couldn't help but admire it. After eight years, it was still maintained in such good condition. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it. This person must be worshipping the bicycle like an ancestor.
"Aunt Wang, can I get on and ride it?" After checking the outside, you also have to check the inside.
"Can."
Jiang Shushu lifted his feet and sat on it. Both feet were just half touching the ground. The height was just right, and it seemed as if it was tailor-made for Jiang Shushu's height of 1.63 meters.
Jiang Shushu stepped hard with his right foot, and the bike rode back and forth. Jiang Shushu circled the Wang family yard twice and felt that the bike was very easy to ride. First, there was no noise, second, there was no jamming, and third, there was no looseness.
"Comrade Jiang, how do you like it?" Aunt Wang was a little nervous. This bicycle was a hard sell. Several people came to look at it, but some complained that it was too expensive or too small.
"Great! Do you have all the necessary documents for your bicycle ticket? How much money do you want to exchange?"
"All the documents are in place, and the transfer can be made at any time. Without a receipt, it's 70 yuan; with a receipt, it's 30 yuan. Although I bought this bicycle eight years ago, I've always taken great care of it. I originally saved it as a betrothal gift for my future daughter-in-law, so I never let it get wet in the wind, rain, or sun. Alas, if my future daughter-in-law hadn't insisted on a new bicycle and our family wasn't short on money, I wouldn't have been willing to sell it."
"Aunt Wang, can you give me a discount? A brand new 24-inch bike is only 110 yuan now. This bike does look new, but it's eight years old after all. Its internal parts are bound to be worn out. I can only ride it for a few years at most." I won't treat a bike as a treasure. It will definitely be exposed to the wind, sun and rain. This old bike can only be ridden for two years at most.
"Comrade Jiang, this is already a great deal. Bicycle tickets outside sell for 40-50 yuan now, so I'm only charging half that. Of course, if you have a bicycle ticket, I can knock another five yuan off, so it's only 25 yuan. This is my lowest price, and I can't go any lower."
Seeing that the price couldn't be lowered any further, Jiang Shushu thought for a while and agreed, "Okay, I have a bicycle ticket, I'll pay for the additional ticket."
"Okay, we'll go transfer the ownership tomorrow." When Aunt Wang heard about bicycle tickets, she agreed without thinking, as she had been looking for someone to exchange them for a long time but still couldn't get one.
Jiang Shushu turned to Qian Xiaoni and said, "Sister Xiaoni, if I can't make it back by 8:30 tomorrow, please take a moment to help me tomorrow morning. I'll make it up the day after tomorrow morning."
"no problem."
Jiang Shushu turned to Aunt Wang and said, "Okay, then we'll meet at the police station at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning."
At 8 o'clock the next morning, Jiang Shushu and Aunt Wang walked into the police station together. Ten minutes later, Jiang Shushu's vehicle registration certificate was freshly issued.
Jiang Shushu looked at Che Benben and smiled. He had everything: a house, a car, savings, and a job. It was perfect. He had taken another big step towards a better life.
Jiang Shushu gave the money and ticket to Aunt Wang, then rode his bicycle away like the wind, and arrived at the East State-owned Hotel at the last second of 8:30.
After everyone quickly finished cleaning, they took advantage of the fact that no one was in the store and after some discussion, they finally selected three matchmakers with great reputation and good reputation, namely Matchmaker Zhao, Matchmaker Qian, and Matchmaker Sun.
The three matchmakers asked Wang Erniu, Zhang Yao's wife, and Zheng Juanjuan's mother to be responsible for lobbying respectively.
Jiang Shushu glanced out the window and felt that the trees and grass outside were not beautiful enough. "While no one is here, why don't we trim the trees outside and pull out the grass if necessary, so that people can sit by the window and look out, which will be bright and pleasing to the eyes."
Zheng Dayong took a look and also felt that the scenery of the green garden outside was too ordinary. "It really needs to be renovated. It looks too ordinary from here."
Then a group of people stood at the window, looking out and expressing their opinions.
Qian Xiaoni: "That round tree is so special. We can trim it to make it even rounder. It will definitely look very cute."
Zheng Juanjuan: "The tree next to it can be cut into a heart shape. For a blind date, a heart shape would be so heartwarming and appropriate."
Jiang Shushu said: "There is a tree behind them. We can make the tree behind into an arch bridge. Then from here it will look like the three trees are connected. Then we can say that when hearts come together, there will be perfection."
…
Han Ri took out a notebook and placed it on the table. It contained the summary of everyone's discussion. "Take a look. Does it look like this? If there's anything that needs fixing, just tell me and I'll fix it."
Jiang Shushu: "Brother Han, your painting skills are really good, simple and clear, and lifelike." Isn't this the legendary painter who was delayed by cooking?
Qian Xiaoni: "Your painting is really good, Brother Han. You're a real person who doesn't show your true colors. I've been your colleague for two years, and I only just realized you have this ability."
…
Han Ri felt a little embarrassed by the praise, "It's just a hobby, not worth telling everyone about it."
Zheng Dayong took the blueprint and looked at it, and he was quite satisfied. "Xiao Han, try adding flowers to these three places."
Han Ri took it and simply drew a few strokes on the paper.
Zheng Dayong took it and read it again, nodding with satisfaction. "Very good, I'll make the changes according to what's written on this paper."
"Xiao Jiang, Xiao Han, you two live close to each other, so I'll leave this matter to you two. Go home and change your clothes before coming back."
The two said in unison, "Yes, Manager, we promise to complete the task."
The two of them came to the green garden outside. Han Ri was responsible for trimming the trees, and Jiang Shushu was responsible for weeding and cleaning up the leaves. It took them almost two hours to finish, and the small green garden looked quite presentable.
Han Ri: "It does look better now than before. These places will look even better if we plant flowers."
"Yes, now is the season when the beauty jasmine and globe amaranth are in full bloom. They are brightly colored and the flowers are very beautiful. They will bloom until the end of the year. If we can plant them in these places, this green garden will definitely look better. Just looking at them will make you eat a few more bites of your meal."
"Where are the beauty jasmine and amaranth?"
"The mountains in our village are full of them, all over the hills."
Zheng Dayong's voice came from behind, "Not bad, not bad, very beautiful."
Han Ri: "The colors are too monotonous and lack some flowers. Xiao Jiang just recommended the beauty jasmine and globe amaranth. What do you think, manager?"
"Yes, both of their flowers are very beautiful, Xiao Jiang. They are both grown on the mountain in your village, right?"
"Yes, they are everywhere on the mountain. When I have a vacation, I will dig some up and bring them here. I will plant them here and make them beautiful."
"This is for the state-owned restaurant. How can you use your vacation time? We're pressed for time and have a heavy workload. Better today than tomorrow. After lunch, go back to the village and dig some angelica and globe amaranth in the mountains. We'll try to plant them today."
