The Emei brand 26-type bicycle costs 152 yuan, the Butterfly brand sewing machine costs 175 yuan, and the gem flower watch costs 120 yuan.
Five "Chenliang" shirts cost fifty-six yuan, four pieces of cloth, three yuan for tobacco and alcohol, and one piece for a doll.
A total of five hundred and eleven yuan was spent.
It’s already less than half of the money I made today.
Having to get rid of so much money at once, Chen Xianglan's face instantly showed a distressed expression.
But thinking that she had bought all the three major items for her son's wedding, she still reluctantly paid all the money.
However, after paying the money, it’s time to pick up the goods.
First take the stamped purchase order to the bicycle seller, and then you can push the bicycle directly away.
Before leaving, the salesperson reminded me: "Remember to bring your voucher and go to the police station to have it stamped and apply for a certificate."
These days, bicycles require a license, which is equivalent to a car license plate in later generations.
However, this thing is usually inspected when driving in urban areas. Many people in rural areas basically do not spend money to apply for a certificate.
After picking up their bicycles, the family went to pick up their sewing machines and watches.
When the family of three went out with these three big items, they immediately received envious looks from several customers.
Buying three major items at once would cost a working-class family several years to save up.
In addition to income, there are also purchase certificates that are extremely difficult to sort out.
"From now on, will our family become landlords?"
Li Nongchang, who was holding a sewing machine, looked at the eyes of the people around him and couldn't help but raise his tail in his heart.
"Don't talk nonsense! There are no landlords, and now there are no landlords." Chen Xianglan stared, and said with some lingering fear.
When Chen Xianglan was young, her family was considered a small landowner, and she could barely survive that era in peace.
"Then our family has become more prosperous!"
Li Nongchang quickly changed his sentence.
After hearing this, Chen Xianglan nodded with a smile and said nothing.
With these three important things at home, how could their Li family not be in a good mood?
In the whole village, only the village party secretary's house has a bicycle, and Chen Sanye has a sewing machine in his house.
And their Li family has got everything ready.
However, Chen Xianglan looked at Li Shiqiang pushing a bicycle next to her and asked with some worry: "Er baby, can you ride a bicycle?"
"Yes."
As soon as he left the gate of the supply and marketing cooperative, Li Shiqiang couldn't wait to get on his bicycle and circle around the bullock cart twice.
"When did you learn to ride a bicycle?"
Li Nongchang stared, his eyes were a little fiery, and he really wanted to ride off.
"I borrowed Uncle Huang's bicycle and rode it for a few times, and I learned it in no time."
Li Shiqiang kicked his foot on the ground, looked at the old man with shining eyes, and asked, "Would you like to come up and give it a try?"
"Really?"
Li Nongchang was still asking, but he was already holding the handle of the car very excitedly.
Li Shiqiang smiled and gave up his seat, letting the old man sit on it.
But as soon as he stepped back, the car's faucet began to shake rapidly.
"Alas, alas, alas..."
Amid Chen Xianglan's exclamation, Li Shiqiang quickly held on to the bicycle and said, "Old man, take your time, you need to adapt first."
"Gotta get it, gotta get it."
Li Nongchang nodded excitedly and wanted to continue, but Chen Xianglan on the side waved her hand and said: "Okay, okay, we will practice again when we get back. Go home first."
Li Nongchang also felt that he would not be able to learn for a while, so he had no choice but to get out of the car and hand the bicycle to Li Shiqiang.
"Come on, get your stuff in the car and go home."
After putting the purchased items on the bullock cart, Li Shiqiang immediately said, "How about the old man drives the cart and I ride the bicycle?"
"No way, I just bought a new car, how can I just ride it back like this?"
Chen Xianglan shook her head, with reluctance in her eyes.
"I bought this bicycle just for riding!"
As soon as Li Shiqiang finished speaking, Chen Xianglan patted him on the shoulder a few times, stared and said, "The marriage hasn't been decided yet, what if your bicycle is worn out?"
Li Shiqiang thought about it for a while and felt that this was the reason, so he could only put the bicycle on the ox cart.
Chen Xianglan quickly sat on the bullock cart and urged with a smile on her face: "Go back soon, the kids in the house are waiting for you."
That's what he said, but being so eager to go back must be more than just taking care of the family.
Li Shiqiang and the old man looked at each other tacitly and chuckled.
Women should like to be a little bit in the limelight.
What's more, when Chen Xianglan married Li Nongchang, she was opposed by her parents and looked down upon by the villagers.
So thinking about the thoughts in his mother's mind, Li Shiqiang immediately waved the cow rope and drove back.
But just when the ox cart carrying a family of three had just gone three or four miles out of the county town, a muzazi suddenly appeared at the intersection.
In front of Muzhazi, there were four or five people with evil expressions standing there.
When one of them saw them appearing, he immediately waved his hand and shouted: "Stop the bullock cart, otherwise we will be rude!"
"Second baby!"
Chen Xianglan, who was on the car board, exclaimed and grabbed Li Shiqiang's clothes next to him to signal him.
"Um."
Li Shiqiang nodded calmly and whispered: "Old man, hand the guy to me."
These guys look like they are blocking the way, so there is no need to ask.
Li Nongchang didn't hesitate and handed over the five or six halves hidden on the board of the car.
At this moment, among the people blocking the road in front, they also showed their faces and surrounded them.
It's funny to say that some of these people were holding kitchen knives, some were holding hatchets, and some were carrying a hoe directly on their shoulders.
Li Shiqiang was too lazy to talk nonsense with them. Before these people could speak, he took out five or six pieces from the bag.
"Brother, do you recognize what I'm holding?"
As soon as they saw the guy in Li Shiqiang's hand, the group of people who had just gathered around panicked instantly.
"Gun!! Brother, there is a gun...!!!"
"Brother, brother, be careful with your hands and don't shoot randomly!!"
...
Some were anxious to remind their elder brother, while others were anxious to tell Li Shiqiang not to shoot indiscriminately.
At first glance, it seemed that these people were not real "good guys", but just idle guys in the village, so Li Shiqiang didn't bother to say more to them, and directly waved his hand: "Get out of the way."
"Gotta get it, gotta get it."
The leader, a man in his forties, forcibly controlled his face, forced out a smile, nodded pleasantly, and then hurriedly walked towards the muzazi.
"Old man, come and catch the car!"
"Yeah, I'll do it."
Li Shiqiang and Li Nongchang changed positions, sat on the car board, and continued to point their guns at the group of guys.
Those guys were also very honest. They all raised their hands and said, "Don't worry, brother, we are very honest!"
After they watched the bullock cart go away, the leading man suddenly changed his expression, slapped one of them on the face and said, "Oh my god, you idiot, why didn't you give me that poor relative of yours?" Did we say that kid has a gun in his hand?"
The man who was beaten touched his face in grievance and said, "How did I know? He just told me that he saw someone else take more than 2,000 yuan at the purchasing station."
"Fuck it, go back and settle the score with him!"
