Chapter 37: Calculations Between Brothers
All the way to a supply and marketing store, there are many types of bicycles placed in it, including five major brands: Yongjuan, Phoenix, Hongqi, Feige and Golden Lion.
After walking around, he chose a red flag's 28 bar, which costs 174 yuan.
There are also ring locks, seat covers, foot covers and other messy items cost 9 yuan, which costs a total of 183 yuan.
Looking at his empty pockets, Lin Jian felt a pain.
But when he saw the brand new car, he felt that everything was worth it.
There is no secret in the village. As the saying goes, fart at the beginning of the village, and you will know it after a few minutes.
When I was collecting Qiu and preparing to hand over the public grain, someone saw Lin Jianjun come back on a bicycle, and the news soon spread in the village.
"This Lin Youyou made a fortune recently. Fan Xiumei's illness has been cured for many years. Lin Xi's girl suddenly went to school again. The boss's situation is also talking about his wife. Look at the moment, tsk, the shiny bicycle, you can see it from afar and you can't see it!"
"I guess the fact that they said they had speculatively made a mistake before was true."
"Now, no matter he is black and white, he is a good cat when he catches rats. Look at Lin Youxiang's wife usually chatters, but this time, life is getting better, it would be strange if she doesn't look down on her."
As everyone expected, Wu Meili was angry and anxious when she heard that Lin You made a fortune and bought a new bicycle.
"Does the second brother and their family obviously want to compete with us? Xiaoxu is in high school. Look, their family is rushing to chase Lin Xi and sending him over. This time, they just rob us and went in front of us. They bought a bicycle and came back, but they were given the show."
Old Mrs. Lin sat by the kang, her face also a little gloomy.
She has never liked Lao Er, the daughter-in-law, who is a bad person of the "Black Five" category. She has bad ingredients and poor health. However, the second child is determined to eat her weight.
Lin Youxiang: "Anyway, our family is going to buy it. I'll go to my elder brother's house tomorrow and ask him to help get a bicycle ticket."
Wu Meili: "When Xiaoxu was going to school, he didn't agree, even his elder brother and sister-in-law didn't agree. Now they can get a bicycle ticket, can they agree?"
When she heard that her eldest son was not good, Old Mrs. Lin's drooping eyelids moved.
"It's not easy for your elder brother and the others. If you want to support your family, you'll be able to live in the city? Besides, let Lin Xu go, wouldn't Lin Xi's dead girl have to follow you? It's better to refuse at all, so that your second brother and the others can't speak."
Wu Meili stopped talking.
The next day, Lin Youxiang took the carriage to deliver public food to the town and went to the town.
Lin Youzhong and his wife were both at home, so Lin Youxiang told them that they wanted a bicycle ticket.
"My third brother, the city is different from the countryside. Nowadays, it is fashionable to get married. Watches, bicycles, sewing machines and radios are not enough. It is not easy to get a bicycle ticket."
As soon as Sun Shuzhen finished speaking, she looked up and saw Lin Youzhong giving her a look. She was so scared that she quickly shut up.
"Although bicycle tickets are not easy to get, I am a leader at least, so it's still no big problem to get one."
Lin Youxiang: "I just said that the elder brother must be great. Our old Lin family is the one who belongs to you. You are the most promising. The villagers don't give you a thumbs up when they mention it."
Lin Youzhong enjoyed it, but he still waved his hand and said, "What's so great or not? A trade union director can only sound good."
As he spoke, he changed his mind and asked about other things: "It's time for the village to pay the public food?"
"I came here in a carriage that brought public grain."
After the production team collects the grain, it will hand over a certain amount of grain according to national regulations. The prices of public grain are generally very low, and they are divided into first-class, second-class and third-class according to the water content level.
At most, it will not exceed 20 cents per pound.
The remaining food will be distributed equally to members by the team according to labor or caps.
"Although the city says it is nice to eat and provide food, it is not as rich as the village. Xiaoxia and the others should be more rich after getting married, but, alas."
Lin Youzhong sighed as he spoke.
Lin Youxiang's eyes rolled: "Brother, my second brother's life is not the same as before. Their family has a lot of labor, so naturally there is a lot of food. I went back to discuss with my mother and asked me to share the food and send some food to my family."
Lin Youzhong's goal was achieved, and the smile on his face was much more sincere: "Xiao Xu's child's dormitory also costs a lot of money? It's getting colder and the school is not burning well. I asked her aunt to see if she could make room. When they come to live at home, they will be a family, so how can the child suffer?"
Seeing that he let him go, Lin Youxiang didn't stay for too long, so he rushed home and discussed with Mrs. Lin about asking for food.
...
"I'm going to separate from you for two more days." Seeing Lin Xi packing her schoolbag, Liu Qing looked lonely.
"You're not always yelling to eat popcorn. When I come back next time, I'll bring you the firewood for heating. You don't have to worry about it. I'll help you with it."
The management system of the county No. 1 Middle School is very strict. The senior high school is busy with academic performance, which is different from the previous one day off every week. Now, after the monthly exam, I will give students two days off, so that students who are far away can also have time to stay at home for one more day.
But this time it was not just a holiday. The school also assigned tasks to the students. All students had to hand in a bag of firewood when school started again.
The school does not install heating, but it is still burning a stove to keep heating. Each class solves the heating materials themselves.
Nowadays, they buy coal with tickets, so there is not enough heating at the city’s classmates’ homes, let alone the extra ones to take to school, so they can only use the holidays to pick up firewood outside the city.
"I knew you were the best for me."
While talking, the two left the teaching building. When they walked to the door, they saw Lin Jianjun standing under a tree not far away, with a brand new bicycle next to them.
Lin Xi took two steps quickly and said, "Second brother, have you bought a bicycle?"
Lin Jianjun patted the seat of the car: "How is it? You will never have to walk back again."
Seeing Lin Xu coming out of the door, Lin Jianjun hurriedly raised his hand and greeted: "Xiaoxu, please go back with us."
They are all family members. Since he saw it, it is impossible for him to just take his younger sister and throw Lin Xu down alone.
Lin Xu looked at his newly bought bicycle and tightened his hands with his schoolbag.
"Forget it, Fourth Brother, how can you carry two people with just one bicycle?"
Lin Jianjun patted the bar in front: "Lin Xi sits here, you sit in the back."
Lin Xu then reluctantly agreed.
Waving his hand to say goodbye to Liu Qing, Lin Xi took to the front of the car.
"Fourth brother, can you do it? Why do I feel like I don't support myself?"
Feeling the crooked body of the car, Lin Xi was so scared that he didn't dare to breathe.
"Don't worry, I've been riding for several days with no problem."
"Fourth brother, come and pick me up next time. Remember to tie a seat cushion in front, which will hurt your butt."
"You're the one who has a lot to do."
