The Orphan's Counterattack in the 1970s

Chapter 53 Buying a Bicycle

Chen Xiaolin planned to call it a day after finishing the transaction with Mrs. Liu. It was almost eleven o'clock now, and she still had to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a bicycle and the post office to pick up packages.

Chen Xiaolin returned to the unoccupied old house, took off her makeup and changed into the clothes she wore in the morning, and then went directly to the supply and marketing cooperative to find the salesperson who promised to leave her a bicycle last time.

"Long time no see, Sister He."

"Xiaolin, you are here. I have left the bicycle you wanted for you." He Yuhuan and Chen Xiaolin have actually known each other for a long time. Many years ago, when Chen Xiaolin returned to her hometown with her father, she rescued a man who was almost trafficked. The kidnapped girl, that girl was He Yuhuan. It's just that Chen Xiaolin was still young at that time, so she didn't recognize He Yuhuan.

"That's great. Sister He really thanks you. I dried these dried mushrooms myself. You can take them back to add some vegetables." Chen Xiaolin took out a pack of dried mushrooms from her backpack and handed them to He Yuhuan.

"No, Xiaolin, you can keep it for yourself! You don't have to be so polite." He Yuhuan felt that it was enough that she could help her benefactor. She didn't want to accept what the benefactor gave her. Although these dried mushrooms are not valuable, it still requires effort and time to go up the mountain to pick them.

"Sister He, you're welcome. Just take it if I give it to you! I still have a lot of this stuff at home."

"Okay then! Come with me and I'll take you to get your bicycle."

He Yuhuan talked to other salespeople and asked others to help her look at the counter, and she took Chen Xiaolin directly to the warehouse.

Chen Xiaolin saw the bicycle she had longed for, a 26-inch Feige bicycle, in the warehouse of the supply and marketing cooperative.

"Xiao Lin, do you want anything else? My quota for defective products this month has not been used yet, so I can give it to you."

"I really need it, Sister He, thank you!" Chen Xiaolin saw that He Yuhuan really wanted to give up the spot to her, so she was rude. The worst is to bring her more local products next time.

Chen Xiaolin picked out a large iron pot with a mouth missing, a kettle with peeling paint, and two pounds of unevenly dyed wool from the warehouse.

Chen Xiaolin mainly wanted to buy this big iron pot to cook pig food. She really couldn't bear to use the same pot for cooking pig food and stir-frying. No matter how clean the pot was, the food always smelled like pig food.

The thermos kettle and wool are intended for Grandpa Chen and Grandma Chen. Uncle Chen only has one thermos kettle at home, which is used by the whole family. It is really inconvenient to drink water at night.

Those two kilograms of wool can allow Grandma Chen to knit a sweater for herself.

Chen Xiaolin gave He Yuhuan the money to buy things and prepared to go back.

This time Chen Xiaolin was really bleeding profusely, and the money she earned today was not enough to spend this time.

Although this big iron pot is a defective product, it still costs eight yuan, the thermos is five yuan, and the two pounds of wool is six yuan, but there is no ticket.

Including the 168 yuan for the bicycle, Chen Xiaolin spent a total of 187 yuan and a bicycle ticket.

Chen Xiaolin rode her newly bought bicycle to the post office. Today she mainly came to pick up packages. Her packages had arrived two days ago, but because of the autumn harvest, she delayed coming to pick them up for several days.

This package not only contained the books that Jingshi Bookstore had mailed to her that needed to be translated, but also a remittance slip.

Chen Xiaolin found a corner, opened the package and took out the remittance slip. Since she came to the county today, she exchanged the remittance slip by the way.

Today, Chen Xiaolin earned another 400 yuan, and now she no longer feels bad about spending the small amount of money to buy a bicycle.

Chen Xiaolin waited at the post office for a while before she saw Shen Jiaojiao and Liu Zhaodi walking slowly over.

"Xiao Lin, why did you buy so many things?" Liu Zhaodi and Shen Jiaojiao mainly came to the county town today to attend dental festivals, so they didn't buy many things.

"I bought a pot and a kettle, so they take up a lot of space. Let's wait here for a while for my cousin, and I'll ask him to take these things back for me later." Chen Xiaolin also finished buying and then remembered that she had to ride a bicycle today. Man, it's hard to carry so many things.

"Just give this big iron pot to your cousin. You can put the thermos in your backpack so it won't break." Liu Zhaodi also liked the big iron pot that Chen Xiaolin bought. They only have one pot now. , it is really inconvenient to cook and boil water for bathing. She thought to herself that she would definitely ask Xiaolin where she bought the pot when she got back.

"That's okay! By the way, Jiaojiao, you have a package. Do you want to go get it? It seems to have just arrived today." When Chen Xiaolin just picked up the package, the post office staff asked her if she knew Shen Jiao. Jiao, said there was a package from Shen Jiaojiao today.

"Ah! My mother must have sent me delicious food." Shen Jiaojiao wrote to her mother last time and told her that she was starving, so she knew there must be something delicious this time.

Fortunately, Shen Jiaojiao brought her ID when she went out today, otherwise she would have to come over to pick up the package tomorrow.

After a while, Chen Xiaolin saw Shen Jiaojiao and Liu Zhaodi carrying a big package over.

"Jiaojiao, is your mother planning to move the whole house to you? This package is so big, it will cost a lot to mail!" Chen Xiaolin has never seen someone who dotes on her daughter so much. Shen Jiaojiao has been there since she went to the countryside. , the package has never been broken. Fortunately, Shen Jiaojiao usually goes to work with Liu Zhaodi, and then lives next door to the captain, so the second-rate people in the village dare not attack her.

"I don't know what it is. My mother is really exaggerating." What Shen Jiaojiao didn't know was that there were not only things her mother bought her, but also things Li Ran and her mother compensated for her. thing.

Some time ago, Li Ran's mother received a letter from Li Ran, saying that he already had someone he liked in the countryside, and asked his mother to help find a way to get Shen Jiaojiao back to the city. He was afraid that Shen Jiaojiao would make a fuss, and everyone would It doesn't look good in terms of appearance.

Li Ran and his mother still like Shen Jiaojiao. Although Shen Jiaojiao is squeamish and loves to cry, she has a cheerful personality, gentleness and kindness. Since her son had let down Shen Jiaojiao's affection, she should give Shen Jiaojiao more compensation!

So when Shen's mother mailed something to Shen Jiaojiao, Li Ran's mother also brought a big bag of various goodies, intending to mail them away together with the things Shen's mother had prepared.

Fortunately, Chen Xiaolin and the others didn't wait long before Chen Mu drove the tractor over.

"Wow! You guys really bought a lot of things today! Xiaolin, you also bought your bicycle." Chen Mu looked at the pile of things in front of the three girls, and he also had a good impression on the three of them financially. There is a new understanding of the conditions
