Chen Xingling never thought that his superior would be so generous and rewarded Gu Qi with a brand new bicycle!
Looking at the brand new, shiny and glossy Phoenix brand bicycle, and then at the rather rustic yet festive red ribbon in front of the headlight, Chen Xingling was overwhelmed with joy and smiled so hard that his eyes could no longer be seen.
"Archie! That's great! This way I can save money for buying a car! Haha!"
Gu Qi nodded lovingly and whispered, "Yes, I don't need to apply for tickets anymore, and I can save money."
This bicycle was actually a gift from the captain and crew of the "Exploration". Before that, they repeatedly asked the factory director to find out what he needed and wanted, always saying that he must get something "practical and tangible" as a souvenir.
Later I found out that he had just moved into a new house, so I planned to buy him two electric fans.
But after he got home, he heard his wife say that she wanted to apply for a bicycle ticket but was sent away by Lao Guo's secretary. He also found out that she had to walk for half an hour every day to go to and from school. He felt distressed and quickly leaked the news to the deputy captain and said he needed a bicycle.
The leader gave the order and the gift was successfully replaced within one day.
"I heard from my parents-in-law that you all learned to ride a bicycle when you were young. Get familiar with it in the next two days. You can save at least half the time on the way to school by riding a bicycle. You will have more time to go to school in the morning, and you don't have to rush to get home."
"...This is the reward you worked so hard to get." Chen Xingling blinked and asked, "Why don't you take it first?"
Gu Qi laughed softly: "I can't. This is a reward for me, but you also get a share."
"A share?" Chen Xingling asked with a grin, "The reward is also considered the common property of the couple? Haha!"
Seeing her happy expression, Gu Qi couldn't help but urge her, "Go ahead and try riding it first. The passage is quite spacious, so you don't have to worry about bumping into other people."
"Hey!" Chen Xingling could no longer control himself and started moving while grabbing the handle.
Some skills, once learned, can be used for a lifetime. You just need to re-familiarize yourself with them and you will quickly get the feel for how to control your balance.
Gu Qi saw that she quickly regained her balance after wobbling at the beginning, and the car moved forward steadily, lightly and swiftly. He secretly felt relieved and slowed down his pace of chasing after her.
She was seen walking against the wind, her hair flying in the evening breeze. The glow of the sunset glowed on her body, giving her a layer of beautiful and warm light, making her look more energetic and vibrant.
Gu Qi stood there, squinted his eyes unconsciously, and then smiled unconsciously.
…
The next morning, Chen Xingling began a new life of riding a bike to and from school.
Gu Qi’s vacation was over and he returned to his normal work and commuting life.
Unlike before when he had three meals a day in the cafeteria, now he has his wife prepare meals for him in the morning and evening, and he and his son eat lunch in the cafeteria. His work has not changed much, and he is still busy and meticulous, but his quality of life has improved by several levels.
Gu Qi had a day off on the weekend, and the family of three went to her mother's house with a lot of luggage. It was not until the evening that her eldest brother-in-law drove a tractor to take them to the shipyard. They had a great time.
Happy days always pass quickly, and two weeks went by in a flash.
There were no classes on Wednesday afternoon, so Chen Xingling did not stay in school for lunch. Instead, he hurriedly rode his bike home.
It was already past lunch time. After having lunch with his father, Xiao Huzi was taken to the office to play by his father as usual.
Chen Xingling parked his bike in the stairwell, then slowly climbed up the stairs holding onto the iron railing.
She always felt something strange in her stomach in the morning, and her instinct was that an old relative was coming to visit, so she had already prepared sanitary napkins and panty liners in her schoolbag. Unfortunately, her stomach just kept feeling uncomfortable and there was no movement for a long time.
In the past, she had become ill due to overwork and long-term malnutrition. Her menstruation, which had been normal since puberty, was gradually delayed, and even did not come for two or three months. Moreover, every time the man came to visit, she was very distressed, with dizziness, stomachache, and back pain, and she was so uncomfortable that she almost fainted.
During this period of time, she has had enough rest and plenty of exercise, and the health-preserving kettle and stew pot in the supermarket space have never stopped for a day or half a day except on weekends.
In addition, my mother would always cook two large pots of fish soup with red dates, wolfberries and astragalus membranaceus on weekends, and give her several bowls a day, plus various fish maws, fish soaks, sea cucumbers, and seahorses, as well as almost never-ending fish, shrimps and seafood, which made her look rosy and energetic.
She was much rounder than before, with a more slender figure, and with the help of the supermarket's dazzling array of high-end skin care liquids, beauty creams, eye creams, beauty ointments, moisturizing masks, etc., her skin was no longer sallow and pale, but fair, rosy, sparkling and tender.
A group of female classmates always asked her if she took some beauty-enhancing magic, otherwise how could she become more and more beautiful, especially her tender skin, which made them all envious.
Jia Shuangqi had asked her quietly several times, saying that there was always a faint fragrance on her face, and asked her what brand of snow cream she used to have such a magical effect.
Every time she would say that it was ordinary snow cream that her husband bought for her, and that the reason her skin got better was because she often drank nourishing fish soup to nourish her body. With enough rest, her skin naturally got better from the inside out. It was not a "magical effect" that a box of snow cream that cost only two or three cents could have.
Not only did my skin get better, but my previous dizziness and anemia also gradually disappeared and have not happened again in the past ten days.
Her health improved day by day. Her period, which had always been delayed before, came early. Although it was not as painful as before, her lower abdomen was slightly swollen and painful, and her waist was so sore that she was so uncomfortable that she could hardly climb the stairs.
After finally reaching the door of her home, she let out a sigh of relief, took out her key and tried to open the door.
Suddenly, with a "bang", the wooden door opposite seemed to be hit hard by something, making a deafening sound!
Chen Xingling was totally unprepared and was scared to death!
Then, a woman's scream came from the other side, and she seemed to be cursing, spewing words one by one, her voice was sharp and piercing, as if she was extremely angry, like she was going crazy!
She has lived here for such a long time, but she has never formally met her neighbor across the street. It is said that the husband went on a business trip some time ago, and the wife stays at her parents' home from time to time, so the chance of meeting each other is very small.
It is not good to get involved in a quarrel, especially a quarrel between a couple. Others may quarrel at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed, so unless it is a quarrel between very close friends and a couple, try not to get involved.
Chen Xingling rubbed his lower abdomen, quickly unlocked the door, hurried into the house, and was about to close the door——
"Bang!" The door opposite was suddenly opened!
I saw a man in his thirties rushing out, wearing a military-colored top and black pants, with delicate features and a pair of glasses on his nose.
He seemed to be very angry, but the moment he opened the door, he unexpectedly saw Chen Xingling sitting opposite him. After being stunned for a moment, he turned his face away in embarrassment.
Chen Xingling quickly lowered his head, pushed the door shut, and pretended that he saw nothing.
At this time, a sharp female voice sounded outside the door: "Liu! If you have the guts, don't ever come back after you leave! If you dare to treat me like this, I will break your legs! And then I will report you to my uncle! You will be ruined and have nothing! Just wait!"
"Guo Jiayue! Have you had enough of making trouble?" a male voice roared.
Chen Xingling pretended not to hear and threw the keys into his schoolbag. Unable to bear the pain in his waist any longer, he quickly fell onto the wooden sofa.
