Chapter 105 Bicycle
Xia Zhizhi walked to the city this time and it took her more than two hours. She could easily spend two hours shopping, but she couldn't rush. A beautiful girl couldn't endure such hardship.
What are you waiting for if you don’t arrange a bicycle for yourself?
No tickets?
Isn’t that it?
I found an empty corner, changed my clothes, and went straight to the department store.
She was well dressed and had a watch on her wrist. She looked capable. When she arrived at the bicycle sales area, the salesperson greeted her with a smile: "Comrade, take a look at the bicycles. These are all new. You can push them out for a look."
"This one, how much is it?" She scanned the options and directly chose a Peacock brand car. This car logo was the most fancy and worthy of her identity as a beautiful girl.
Some bicycle license plates
"The Peacock brand is 139 yuan."
She quickly took out her money and bicycle ticket: "That's all, give me the ticket."
The salesperson was in a daze. From the time he saw Xia Zhizhi to the time he made the order, it took about... one minute?
But she still quickly issued the car purchase invoice.
It looks like this
Xia Zhizhi happily pushed her newly bought car onto the road and then rode to the Vehicle Administration Bureau.
She was going to get a license plate for her beloved car, and at the same time she had to get a bicycle license.
"Steel stamps" are also made on the handlebars and tripod of the bicycle with a hammer.
The bicycle license plate number, bicycle license number and stamp number are all the same set of numbers, and each bicycle license plate number is unique in Mudanjiang City.
Riding a bicycle on the road now will be the same as driving a car on the road in the future. Only after obtaining a license plate and a license can it be considered legal on the road. The only difference is that you don’t need a driver’s license to ride a bicycle.
When she arrived at the vehicle registration office, she chose a license plate and paid the 1.5 cents license fee. A young man stamped the plate for her. Maybe it was because he had just arrived, but he was a little nervous and almost hit his own hand.
After stamping the steel stamp, the young man blushed and stuttered to her:
You, remember to keep the receipt and license. If the bike is lost, you can go to the police station to report it. If the bike is found, you can take the bicycle license or receipt to the police station to collect it. "
"Okay, thank you, comrade."
Xia Zhizhi went to pay the annual tax for the license plate. Everyone who gets a license plate has to pay it, 1.8 yuan a year. It's so much trouble. I should have driven a black car earlier.
License Plate and Tax Certificate
But she is a beautiful girl with upright values. It's already been done, so don't think too much about it.
She placed the basket of sautéed meat and seafood that Da Chong had given her on the seat of the bicycle, and then placed the oranges and grapefruits that she had taken from Du Biao on top of it. She then covered it with a piece of cloth, and finally tied it up twice with a rope.
Then I rode my licensed bicycle back to the village.
At this time, everyone was still working, so she rode her bike along the road and directly into the field to show off.
The children who were picking beans saw this and stopped picking beans and gathered around.
"Bicycle?"
"It's a bicycle. Is it the one bought by Xia Zhiqing?"
The children followed behind and asked.
"Yes, I bought it. Doesn't it look good?" Xia Zhizhi shook her head confidently.
“It looks good!”
“It’s so beautiful!”
"Am I awesome?"
"Awesome, awesome!"
"Xia Zhiqing is the best!"
Xia Zhizhi rode her bike around the field for a long time, making sure everyone saw her bike, and then stopped at the field where Han Youran and Jiang Xiurong were working, waiting to go back with them.
The children gathered around her, touching her bicycle and praising it. She tilted her head back and listened happily.
A child asked her, "Xia Zhiqing, you are the best. Your car is so beautiful. Can you lend it to me for a ride?"
Xia Zhizhi immediately rejected him: "I agree that I am the best, but I cannot lend you my bike. If you want to ride, you can rent it. It's 20 cents per ride, but you can't crash my bike. If you do, you will have to pay for it!"
There is no one who can take advantage of her.
The child said, "Tsk, Xia Zhiqing is so stingy."
"I'm stingy and you're generous. Go tell your grandma that I'm going to your house for dinner today and ask her to cook two more delicious dishes!"
The child heard her say this and ran away.
After the children had had enough, she ran to Han Youran and Jiang Xiurong and said, "Sister Youran and Sister Xiurong, I bought a bicycle. You don't have to walk to the city anymore!"
"That's great, thanks to Zhizhi." Many times, I wanted to go to the city or the commune to buy some meat or something, but even if I went to the commune, it would take three hours to go back and forth. If I wanted to go to the city, it would take even longer. Having a car is indeed much more convenient.
Han Youran and Jiang Xiurong had no intention of taking advantage of her, so they just gave her the two cents she asked for, and they gave it to her. This way, when others came to borrow money, they would not feel embarrassed to ask for it for free.
After returning to the educated youth center, Xia Zhizhi took out the oranges and grapefruits as a gift.
Chengzi gave two to each of them, leaving Cui Zijin and Tang Mingli with none. They peeled the pomelo after dinner and ate it together.
Han Youran saw her box full of bacon, talked with Jiang Xiurong after dinner, and then came to discuss with Xia Zhizhi.
After calculating the total price of the basket of dried goods, the four of them each contributed 1/5 of the price. This way, when cooking, they could cut as much as they wanted. After all, working in the fields was hard, and everyone wanted to eat something good, but they couldn't always rely on Xia Zhizhi to take it away.
Xia Zhizhi naturally agreed, she took it out just to add to the meal.
Tang Mingli didn't know where he had made some small fortune, so he had no trouble paying.
I guess Jiang Xiurong knew about this, otherwise she wouldn't have come to ask because of Tang Mingli.
With this basket of meat, their food supply increased significantly.
Even if the chef just wants to add a little bit of it to enhance the flavor of every meal, he can't handle the clamor from the other people.
The head chef is now Tang Mingli. Han Youran and Jiang Xiurong will help prepare the dishes and wait for him to start cooking.
Everyone also clearly recognizes that Xiao Tang is indeed a skilled craftsman.
Even if it was some ingredients he had never cooked before, Xia Zhizhi would open her mouth and tell him roughly how to cook it, and he would be able to cook it quite well.
Maybe because he cooks delicious food, Xia Zhizhi hasn't scolded him much recently and only scolds Cui Zijin.
But they didn't let him cook. Xiao Cui was also an ambitious young man. He watched secretly while he was lighting the fire, and wrote down the process, waiting to practice again when he had the chance in the future.
Han Youran and Jiang Xiurong would come home from work every day, help out with the chores, then take a shower and wait for dinner.
Look at the female educated youth next door. When she comes home from work, she has to wait for dinner. After dinner, she has to wash a pile of dishes and only then can she boil water for a bath.
People just can't make comparisons. Once they compare, they feel that they are still very happy.
Although Cui Zijin and Tang Mingli had to do more work than the male educated youth next door, their food was good, so they thought it was nothing to do more work just to have better food for themselves.
What's more, he has to share the burden with the girl he likes. He feels so happy inside that he can't help but do less.
