Su Erhe had just pushed his bicycle into the yard and stopped.
The other four people from the Su family ran back one after another, panting and out of breath.
"Sister, this bicycle..."
Su Xiatian ran over and touched it twice, "Huh, it's not new?"
"Yes, it's not new, but it doesn't affect riding. A former classmate of mine recommended it to me. She knew a friend whose family member was sick and had no choice but to sell their valuables to pay for the family member's medical treatment. I saw that although this bicycle looked a bit old, it didn't affect riding, so I bought it back."
In order to make things go wrong, Suerhe can only continue to make "friends" out of nothing.
Su Xiatian listened with one ear and moved very quickly. He raised his feet and tried to ride a few times. He looked pretty good. When he got bolder, he wanted to ride on it.
He did get on the bike, and heard screams. The bike twisted and turned and crashed into the yard, knocking a gate off. Su Xiatian himself also fell upside down, and was crushed under the bike, screaming for help.
Su Erhe: "..."
"Su Xiatian!"
Su's mother was shaking with anger and rushed over with a broom, "You deserve it if you fell. Don't break the bike!"
Su Xiatian, who had just pushed the bicycle aside and stood up with the help of Su Dongtian and was rubbing his butt with a grin, looked at his mother in disbelief and grievance, "Mom, are you talking like a human being?"
Is he the one who kisses the dog, or is the bike the one who kisses the dog?
Father Su was just parking his bicycle when he kicked it down.
Su's mother came over and asked, "How is it? Is it broken?"
Father Su said, "It won't break. The bicycle is sturdy. It just has some paint peeling off. But the paint is already peeling and it's a mess. I'll find a way to get some paint and repaint it. It will look much better."
As a man, there is no man who doesn't like to tinker with these things.
Although Su Dongtian didn't talk much, he couldn't help but touch here and there lovingly.
Su Erhe came over and said, "Mom, I'll ride this bicycle back first. If you don't agree, I'll return it. I thought our family still needs a bicycle like this for my eldest brother. When matchmakers propose marriage to my eldest brother in the future, they can see our family's strength."
That's not the case.
Although the Sun family paid compensation, they were not clean-mouthed. They complained about the Sun family's lack of money in public, as if their daughter had reason to do such shameless things. When Su's mother heard this from others, she was furious.
Although her family did not have a worker like the Zhao family who received a monthly salary, they were also a hardworking family. Their life was not as good as others, but it was still upper-middle class in the village.
Now that Suerhe has taken the bicycle back, the timing is right. Originally, Su's mother was reluctant to spend such a large sum of money, but now, Su's mother also thinks it is a good idea.
"Okay, you tell me how much it is. If it's not too expensive, we'll stay."
"No ticket, just one hundred yuan." Suerhe said.
Mother Su gritted her teeth and looked at Father Su and the eldest son, Su Dongtian, and asked, "What do you think?"
There was no need to ask, the two of them were studying the bicycle, already discussing where to find paint to repair the peeling paint.
Although one hundred is a bit expensive, the new ones start at one hundred and fifty, and you need several industrial coupons. Industrial coupons are so difficult to get together, and you can't even find a place to borrow them.
Su's mother also hardened her heart and said, "Okay, then it's one hundred. Mom will give you the money."
"Mom, I'll pay for it." Su Dongtian had the compensation money from the Sun family for breaking off the engagement. Anyway, the money was of no great use, so it was just right to buy a bicycle.
Su's mother said, "It's not good for you to pay alone. Your father also wants to ride the bike. Why don't you pay half and we pay half too."
Hearing this, Su Erhe immediately said: "Then I will also contribute one, and we can use it together in the future."
You know, the bicycle is now on the open road. In the future, she doesn't have to hide when going to the county town. She doesn't have to walk to a farther place and then secretly take out the bicycle. She can just ride it directly. That's so convenient.
Besides, this hundred yuan is actually for her, and she doesn't want to earn so much money from her family, but she has to say so, otherwise she won't be able to explain it to outsiders. If she pays a share now, it means that Su's mother and Su Dongtian will have to pay less.
After the final discussion, Su's father and mother contributed fifty yuan, Su Dongtian contributed thirty yuan, and Su Erhe contributed twenty yuan.
Su Xiatian hung her head, covering her sore butt. "If I don't have money, will I be unable to ride a bike in the future?"
Su's mother was too lazy to pay attention to him.
He went into the house and took out the money for Su Erhe, and Su Dongtian also quickly took out the money.
As a result, Suerhe's small treasury had an extra eighty yuan in cash, but it was a pity that it was earned from his own family, which felt weird.
But then I thought again, if not, it would be too expensive to buy a new one outside.
Moreover, the bicycle has few parts and is very durable. Apart from the paint peeling that she deliberately created, the performance of the bicycle is very good.
Su Xiatian was immediately sent to fetch a load of water, and then Su Dongtian found a cloth and wiped the bicycle clean.
Seeing the whole family gathered around the bicycle, Su Erhe also laughed.
"Dad, I have a small can of paint here, do you want to..."
“Bring it here!”
Father Su was thinking about painting the bicycle, which would make it look almost like a new one.
Su Erhe went into the house and pretended to take out the paint. Painting requires a brush, and she didn't have one just now, so she just painted it casually. The main purpose was to prevent the villagers from recognizing the bicycle. After all, the origin of her bicycle...
Hehe, it can’t be said!
Father Su squatted down and began to paint the bicycle very seriously.
Su Dongtian and Su Xiatian were watching from the side.
This scene is like when we were kids, even though our family wasn't well off, every time we bought something new, the kids would be so happy for a long time, gathering around to look at it.
Su Erhe also felt that this scene was quite warm.
"You two, stop looking and get to work!" Su's mother shouted. Although she also liked bicycles, she felt the pain of spending such a large sum of money. She had already walked out. "We just spent a hundred yuan. If you don't work and earn work points, what will our family eat and drink? Don't look at it. The bicycle can't run."
Su Dongtian and Su Xiatian stood up reluctantly.
Su's mother then said to Su's father, "When you're done, hurry up and get back to the fields. Don't delay your work."
Looking at Su Erhe again, Su's mother had nothing to say to her daughter. The girl was so sensible and capable, so there was nothing much to say. She took her two sons to work in the fields.
Su Erhe stayed at home to cook dinner.
Soon, the news that the Su family had a new bicycle spread like wildfire in the village. Many people came to take a look after work. The bicycle had been repainted by Su's father and the dirty parts had been wiped clean. It looked no different from a new one.
Su's mother stood at the door, also quite proud, "It's nothing, my daughter is very capable and knows a lot of people."
Su Erhe felt quite guilty, and when she saw He Zheng coming to their house for dinner after work, she felt even more guilty.
He Zheng also knew that the Su family had bought a bicycle. The first thing he did when he entered the door was to walk around the bicycle and touch the handlebars twice. "Not bad, very good."
How can it not be good?
Su Erhe thought, it is exactly the same as the one in your home.
But she couldn't say this even if she was beaten to death.
Therefore, Suerhe decided to add two pieces of meat to He Zheng's dinner.
