Gu Xi looked at the two bikes and was in a dilemma. It would definitely be more convenient to travel with a bicycle, but it was too big and she would have to get used to it again. "I have a ticket. Anyway, I usually come to town with you. You can just take me with you. I'll buy it."
Lin Ling shook her head: "No, that won't work. Then it becomes my purchase. I can't take advantage of you. You still have to learn how to ride it yourself. I can help you ride it back today. I've already written to my family to ask for it, and they'll send it to me soon."
Ye Xinchen looked at it from the side and said: "I have a ticket, how about I lend it to you first."
The saleswoman on the side heard this and quickly responded, "Yes, we finally got two bikes in. We don't know when we'll get the next bike. Just buy them first and return the ticket to the man later."
Lin Ling thought about it and said, "Okay, I'll borrow it from you and return it to you later. If you need a bicycle anywhere, just come to me."
Ye Xinchen generously gave the tickets. Lin Ling and Gu Xi each bought one and pushed them out of the store.
Others were envious when they saw this: "Your families are so well-off that you can even afford to buy bicycles."
Li Tong knew what happened: "Brother Xinchen is really generous. He lent you a bicycle ticket. Don't forget to return it. You want to buy a bicycle without a ticket? I don't know what you are thinking."
Before Ye Xinchen could speak, Lin Ling replied, "Well, do you want to buy it? If you want to buy it, I'll give it to you. If you don't want to buy it, shut up."
He then took out three hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to Ye Xinchen: "It's a deposit for the bicycle ticket. When I return the ticket to you, you can return the money to me."
Ye Xinchen glanced at Lin Ling and saw that she was not unhappy and did not care too much about Li Tong's words. Seeing that everyone was watching, he accepted the money and said, "Okay, if you return the ticket to me, I will return your deposit. If you don't have the ticket, I will assume that you bought it."
There were many packages on the tractor. Lin Ling chatted with Gu Xi while Wei Qingzhe and Ye Xinchen rode their bicycles back.
Everyone bought gloves and sun hats, otherwise it would be too sunny. I also replenished some daily necessities and was in a good mood when I received the package.
Lin Ling was talking about how busy she was working in the fields recently: "We were lucky. We had already planted corn, soybeans and sweet potatoes before we came here, and we will harvest them in late September or early October. Then we will cultivate the soil for half a month, plant wheat in October, and we will be able to harvest them next spring.
After that, the weather will turn cooler and we can have a holiday after the snow starts. During this period, every household starts to grow some long-lasting vegetables to keep for the winter. "
Gu Xi felt tired just listening to it. She could imagine how busy Qiu Shou was.
Lin Ling started talking about the gossip of the educated youth center again: "Do you remember Zhang Yuejin from the educated youth center? He wanted to live in the village chief's house at the beginning, but Li Tong moved in first."
Li Tong immediately retorted: "It was the village chief who chose me. At that time, Zhang Yuejin also wanted to live there, but the village chief did not agree because he was afraid that he would bother his daughter and niece."
Lin Ling nodded: "Yes, Zhang Yuejin always relies on the fact that he is a city boy and looks pretty good, and he talks nonsense to fool the girls in the village. Several girls are bewitched and help him with work. Recently, he even pestered Xu Jiao, the niece of the village chief. Every day, he asks other girls to work for him, and he goes to chat with Xu Jiao.
Xu Jiao has been a little obsessed recently and has become very close to him. He would wait for Xu Jiao after work and send her home. Sometimes they would take walks by the small river in the village. The village chief was very anxious. "
Li Tong couldn't help but join in: "Yes, Uncle Xu mentioned this matter the night before yesterday. He told Xu Jiao about Zhang Yuejin harassing the girls in the village and tricking people into doing work. Xu Jiao didn't believe it either. Today, she went to the team leader and gave him a gift to arrange an easier job for Zhang Yuejin. Uncle Xu is really worried lately. I don't know what Zhang Yuejin is capable of. He looks like an ordinary man to me."
Gu Xi got excited and took out a few candies to share with the two of them. "I know this guy. He looks pretty good, but he's good at pretending. He likes to wear white shirts and glasses. He's also very talkative, and thick-skinned. I saw him bullying a girl with my own eyes, and he was about to hit her, but he argued that he was just saying hello and helped the girl up when she fell."
Lin Ling couldn't believe it: "Is there such a thing? It's disgusting. Don't let me see it, or I will break his legs."
Gu Xi chuckled: "Who dares to take advantage of you? It's not like you are tired of living."
Li Tong looked at Lin Ling thoughtfully: "I feel like you are just a simple-minded girl, but in fact you are very passionate and likable."
Lin Ling was suddenly praised by Li Tong and felt a little embarrassed: "Hey, men still like people like you, gentle and considerate. Among the three of us, you are still the most likable. Gu Xi is beautiful, but she is lazy and has a wacky mind. Men are afraid of her."
Gu Xi protested with obvious dissatisfaction: "How can I invite an ancestor? I am civilized and reasonable. It is a blessing to find me. I look down on them! They are so chauvinistic. They sit and lie down at home and do nothing. They also complain about this and that. I can't stand this kind of fatigue and anger."
After saying that, he stuffed a candy into his own mouth, then peeled another candy and stuffed it into Wang Xu's mouth. Wang Xu was suddenly stuffed with a candy in his mouth. He was startled. He was still eavesdropping and almost thought he was discovered.
Lin Ling looked at her and smiled obscenely: "Now you should be satisfied with Boss Xu. Apart from him, there is no one else you can praise."
Gu Xi accepted the teasing openly, "He should be praised for doing a good job. He is indeed better than others. We are all lucky. My parents and brother are worried that I will suffer. There are children of employees in their factory who go to dig canals and open up wasteland. Last winter, the female comrades went to the river. It was useless to shiver with cold. They had to go to the river in winter even when they had their periods.
The food is not good either, with pickles and corn barley porridge, or whole grain cakes made with batter, and even green vegetables are rarely seen. "
Li Tong and Lin Ling didn't dare to think about how they would survive if they encountered such a situation. It was really not easy. It was so great to contribute to the motherland.
Wang Xu sent the three of them to the doorstep and helped Gu Xi move all her things to the yard: "I'll go return the car first. If you can't carry it, I'll come back and help you carry it."
Gu Xi opened the box in the yard to see what was inside and sorted it out. Suddenly, she saw Tian Congbao rushing in. Gu Xi subconsciously thought he was going to steal something again: "What are you doing?"
Tian Congbao didn't grab anything this time. He pulled Gu Xi out and said, "Gu Zhiqing, my sister is not feeling well."
When Gu Xi heard that he came to ask for her help, she followed him to the next door.
The family members in the fields had not returned yet. Only Old Lady Tian was at home, cursing, "You little girl are such a nuisance. You pretend to be sick and don't want to work when you have your period. When I was young, I still had to work in the fields when I had my period. If I didn't work, I would have no food to eat. I should have sold you earlier to get money so that our Congbao could go to school and get married. Why don't you get up and work!"
