In the afternoon, Yang Xiaotao left the steel rolling mill early.
He has not yet received any arrangements from the steel rolling mill, and Wang Guodong has nothing to do with him, so Yang Xiaotao enjoys the first benefit of an eighth-level fitter and gets off work early with pay!
The loudspeaker behind him sounded again, playing the list of those who passed the examination.
It seems that this time, Jia Dongxu failed again!
Yang Xiaotao listened to the gossip and didn't think about that trash.
Carrying the bicycle ticket, I jumped and trotted all the way, kicking away countless stones, and finally arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative.
It is still a familiar scene. When you walk into the supply and marketing cooperative, there are people standing in front of the counter with expectations on their faces. Behind the counter, the salesperson is unhurried and calm.
There are never fewer people here.
After queuing for a while, when the people in front of the shop selling soy sauce and cloth were almost gone, Yang Xiaotao stepped forward, looked at the tired saleswoman, and spoke.
"Comrade, let me buy a bicycle!"
The saleswoman suddenly didn't respond, and she didn't look at him until Yang Xiaotao said it again.
When people shopping around heard that someone was buying a bicycle, they all gathered around and glanced back and forth at Yang Xiaotao.
These days, not only people with high status can afford to buy a bicycle. How many young people from a large family want one, but they are all stopped by a ticket.
The person in front of me was obviously young, but he didn't know where he got the tickets.
"Ticket and proof!"
The saleswoman glanced at Yang Xiaotao and then spoke.
The words were still brief, but the voice was not as cold as before.
Yang Xiaotao skillfully took out the certificate and bicycle ticket, and the saleswoman's eyes narrowed slightly.
There is no problem with the bicycle ticket.
There is no problem with the bright red seal of the steel rolling mill on the certificate.
Finally, he took out a booklet and wrote down the special font size on the certificate. Then he looked at Yang Xiaotao and said, "Comrade, there is nothing wrong with the bill."
"We need to register identification, please wait a moment."
As he spoke, he took down a booklet from the shelf behind him, opened it and asked Yang Xiaotao to fill in all the personal information.
Yang Xiaotao didn't ask much, it was just a process anyway.
After filling it out carefully, the salesperson saw that I had no questions and led Yang Xiaotao to the bicycle counter.
There are not many bicycles here, but each one is carefully polished and shiny.
"Comrade, this is the bicycle that just arrived."
The saleswoman pointed at the bicycles that were obviously much larger than those next to her and said, "These are Phoenix's, you can choose one!"
Yang Xiaotao walked in and took a look. He saw the dark car body, the beam across the front, and the oil-stained chain. The handlebars were flat and wide, and there was a bell the size of a fist on it.
When Yang Xiaotao looked at this bicycle, which was regarded as a must-have dowry when it was at its peak, it would be fake if he didn't say he was excited.
Although there are other models, the ticket has been decided and he has no other choice.
Moreover, bicycles were far from popular at this time. Riding any type of bicycle was a sensation.
"That's it!"
Yang Xiaotao chose the one in front of him. He looked the same from left to right. The items these days are all solid and durable.
"good!"
The saleswoman nodded and then registered again.
When Yang Xiaotao came to the counter again and handed over the purchased bicycle ticket and 160 yuan, the bicycle was named Yang.
Of course, when buying a car, you need to register it. In my previous life, I went to the vehicle management office to get the license plate. Now I just go to the police station, get a stamp, and then register my personal information. I pay 3 yuan a year.
This is just like buying a car in later generations. You have to pay compulsory traffic insurance, commercial insurance, etc. It’s a routine.
Pushing the new car away from the supply and marketing agency, stroking the metal frame and plastic-wrapped handles, Yang Xiaotao put his left foot on the pedal and kicked his right foot hard on the ground.
The bicycle rolled forward in succession, and then the right leg stepped over the back seat from behind, and the whole person sat on the bicycle.
The whole movement was smooth and flowing, and it was not unfamiliar due to the changes in time and space or the passage of time.
“I didn’t expect that bicycles that were in the past were so popular in this era!”
Yang Xiaotao pedaled hard, and the car ran crookedly.
"Riding a bicycle is indeed a lifelong memory!"
I remember when I was learning to drive in my previous life, I couldn't reach the pedals, so I could only step in under the beam at an angle. The scene seemed to be right in front of my eyes.
Even though the body has never been in contact with it in this life, under the control of memory, the bicycle slowly controls the direction, and it becomes proficient after running less than a hundred meters.
Yang Xiaotao then controlled the direction and ran towards the police station in Nanluogu Lane.
When I arrived at the police station, the person on duty was Director Zhang, whom I had met before.
Yang Xiaotao pushed the cart in and explained his intention. Director Zhang was also surprised.
When he learned that Yang Xiaotao had become an eighth-level fitter and that the car ticket was a reward from the factory, Director Zhang's surprised eyes became even more gratified.
After stamping, Yang Xiaotao said goodbye to the police station and planned to go directly to Ran Qiuye's home.
I guess Ran Qiuye is also waiting for news at home.
When the car came to the corner, Yang Xiaotao saw that there was no one on the left and right, so he took out the exchanged pork, ham, and two bags of rice from the space.
Xiaozhan rice is also the most delicious rice in the north at this time.
Yang Xiaotao tied the rice to the back seat and hung the pork and ham on the handlebars.
When he went to Ran's house this time, he wanted to set a wedding date, and he couldn't delay it any longer.
Ring ring ring
The bicycle bell rang, and the people in front immediately stepped aside when they heard the sound, and then saw a young man riding a brand-new bicycle passing by.
Then people saw the pork and rice on the car and started talking about it.
"This young man is so energetic!"
"The car is new, right? It's a Phoenix brand 28 big bang. I really want it too!"
"It's extraordinary that you can afford a car."
"Looking at this posture, he must be picking up the bride..."
"This young man can do it. He's good-looking. He's riding a bicycle at such a young age. I wonder if he has a partner?"
Yang Xiaotao attracted the envious eyes of countless people along the way.
After walking around on the street for a long time, I arrived at Ran Qiuye's house.
The car entered the alley, and a group of children were playing in front of it. When they saw a bicycle approaching, they immediately stood up and paid attention.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Brother-in-law?"
"Brother-in-law!"
Yang Xiaotao stopped the car with one foot, and then saw Ran Hongbing running over quickly, looking at the bicycle with bright eyes.
Yang Xiaotao waved, "Come here!"
Ran Hongbing quickly ran up to him, and Yang Xiaotao picked it up in his hand and placed it on the beam in front of him.
"Sit down."
"Um!"
Sitting on a bicycle for the first time, Ran Hongbing felt more excited than afraid. After a gust of wind blew across his face, the car slowly moved forward.
The friends behind him were chasing him. At this moment, he was the most handsome boy in the alley.
When he arrived at the door of his house, Ran Hongbing couldn't bear to get down, so Yang Xiaotao drove the car and walked inside.
"Mom, eldest sister, second sister, and brother-in-law are back!"
Ran Hongbing shouted loudly, and Yang Xiaotao greeted the people in the courtyard. Everyone was stunned when they saw him pushing the bicycle and the things on the bicycle.
Yang Xiaotao didn't care and came directly to the door.
Ran Qiuye ran out immediately when he heard the sound.
Ran Qiuye felt a little uneasy when he returned home today, thinking about Yang Xiaotao's assessment.
Now when I heard the sound, I hurriedly ran out and saw Yang Xiaotao driving the car and standing at the door.
For an instant, Ran Qiuye covered her mouth, unable to believe what was in front of her.
"Where does this bicycle come from?"
"If you pass the assessment, you will be rewarded by the factory!"
"A prize?"
"Well, I was given a bicycle ticket as a reward, so I just bought it!"
Yang Xiaotao explained the whole story, and Ran Qiuye was stunned.
For a moment, Ran Qiuye couldn't believe it. She passed the test and received a bonus bicycle ticket? Was the man in front of her joking with her?
She knows how difficult it is to get a bicycle ticket.
And now, a brand new bicycle is in front of her.
Yang Xiaotao took Ran Hongbing down and then took off the things.
At this time, Ran's mother also came out. She was also startled by the bicycle, and then she and Yang Xiaotao moved the things into the house.
Ran Qiuye stepped forward and looked at the bicycle carefully.
He reached out to touch the handle of the car, then looked at the leather seat, and finally pulled the spokes on the wheel rim to make the wheel spin, while smiling.
At this time, no one in the courtyard thought Ran Qiuye was naive, because facing a bicycle, they could hardly resist the temptation.
"Come in quickly!"
Ran's mother shouted, and Ran Qiuye stood up quickly and blushed unconsciously when he saw Yang Xiaotao's expression. He was a little embarrassed just now!
The two said hello to the neighbors and walked into the house.
Outside, sister and brother Ran Xinrui immediately took over the use of the bicycle.
Of course, they can't ride it, but that doesn't stop them from showing off. It belongs to their brother-in-law and has never been seen in this alley.
A group of children gathered around the bicycle to have a look, making the two of them stand out among the children in the yard.
“How much does a bike cost?”
Ran Qiuye handed over a glass of water.
Ran's mother was already busy in the kitchen.
Yang Xiaotao touched his little hand without leaving any trace and rolled his eyes.
"160!"
"So expensive?"
"Okay!"
Ran Qiuye was silent.
"I passed the Level 8 exam this time. From now on, this little money will not count for anything."
Seeing that Ran Qiuye was worried about Qian, Yang Xiaotao whispered again.
"What? Level eight?"
"Are you in the eighth level?"
Ran Qiuye was still worried about Qian a second ago, but after hearing what Yang Xiaotao said again, she immediately covered her mouth and said in surprise.
"Well, for an eighth-level fitter, the monthly salary is 99 yuan."
"How is it? Is your man a great man?"
Ran Qiuye took a deep breath, looked at Yang Xiaotao's smile, and snorted coldly.
"If you have money, don't spend it carelessly. There will be plenty of it for you in the future."
"Yes, please save some money in the future, and I will leave all my wages to you for safekeeping."
"That's not necessary. How can you men do it if you don't have money in your pockets?"
This surprised Yang Xiaotao. In his previous life, the wives and daughters-in-law were very serious about buying cigarettes.
"That's because you don't know anything about men, Xiaojinku should find out more about it!"
Yang Xiaotao thought silently in his heart.
The two talked for a while, and Ran Qiuye took out a pair of gray pants from the house.
"You try it. The cloth I bought last time was made according to your previous work clothes."
Yang Xiaotao looked at the pants and nodded quickly.
In the past few years, most of the pants I have worn have been old pants. During the Chinese New Year, I went back to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a new pair, but not only did it cost a ticket, but it also cost a lot of money.
So most people buy cloth and make it themselves.
Unfortunately, he doesn't have this skill.
Yang Xiaotao picked up his pants and went to the back room to change, and soon he was wearing them.
"Can you squat down and take a look?"
"This, it's not good!"
"fine."
Tsk~~
When Yang Xiaotao was putting on his pants, he felt they were a bit tight. As soon as he squatted down halfway, the back cracked.
I quickly ran back to the house and changed my clothes.
Ran Qiuye felt embarrassed looking at the gaping hole.
“Next time, I’ll go to Sister Xu’s house to use the sewing machine!”
After saying that, he hid the pants in the box.
It was my first time to make pants, and it failed. It was so embarrassing.
Yang Xiaotao didn't think anything of it. Having someone make clothes for him was a happy thing in itself.
