Chapter 32
Su Jianye patted his heart in fear and said: "Mother, we are really lucky. If we are too late, we will be arrested."

"Okay, Dad, let's go quickly, we will be seen by the villagers when we are late."

"Well, let's go."

Su Jianye didn't ride a bicycle, and took Su Xiaoruan along the path.

Fortunately, there is a flashlight at home, so I am not afraid of not being able to see the road clearly.

After Su Xiaoruan saw the things in her father's hands, she thought of the lanterns that she remembered had solar energy in the supermarket.

There is a solar panel on it, which can be used for one day in the daytime, and it can be used for two hours at night. After closing, you can also use the handle on the side, which can also be used as a flashlight.

Lantern, a kind of portable, weatherproof kerosene lamp, can be hung on the horse when riding a horse at night, hence the name.

Most of the coastal areas are used on boats, and they are also called "boat lights", especially in windy and rainy weather, they are really a sharp lighting tool for fishermen!
Every household here has this kind of horse lanterns, but they are all kerosene lamps.

Su Xiaoruan slapped his forehead, why didn't he remember it.

Now the entire commune is not connected to electricity, that’s not right, the town has electricity, but the villages below have no electricity for the time being, and it may take a year or two.

These days, wires and cables are in short supply, and there are too many places that need them.

It's a small place like them, and there's something to wait for.

After breakfast, Su Jianye talked with his mother in the room.

"I'm really scared of the Queen Mother today. I really can't go to this black market often in the future."

"Well, we have saved a lot of money now. Last time, Ruanbao gave me a bicycle ticket, so I thought about buying one."

"Mom, do we have enough money now?"

"Almost. I dug out all the money for the bricks used for the new courtyard wall, and there are still more than 200."

When Su Jianye heard it, he was overjoyed.

Bicycle!

There is only one in the entire Red Star brigade, and the Sun family has one.

The Sun family's car was bought by their married aunt who subsidized most of it.

"Mom, let's buy the permanent brand. I heard that this brand is the best, and it's also strong."

"I don't understand these either, you just figure it out."

You have to go to the county to buy a bicycle, and it may not be in stock.

"When you have a bicycle, it will be more convenient to commute to get off work in the east. You don't have to get up early and late, and you have to use your third uncle's ox cart."

"Well, yes, then buy one first, and let Xiang Dong ride a bicycle to pick up those two cubs on Saturday."

These days, a bicycle can seat several people.

One sits on the big bar in front, and another sits at the back. Some women have to hold their children in their arms.

Su Xiaoruan was overjoyed that the bicycle matter was on the agenda.

Now the eldest brother is working the hardest. Every day, he has to drive the third grandfather's ox cart, or he has to walk back, but it makes people feel distressed.

In the evening, Su Xiaoruan took out the solar lantern.

This thing will be common a few decades later, but it is a rarity now.

And although this solar horse lantern is not brighter than that kind of high-wattage light bulb, it is quite eye-catching.

So, Su Xiaoruan only took out one and placed it in grandma's room.

In the room where grandma lived, the curtains were drawn, and the lamp was put on the kang, and it was bright, which made the old lady very happy.

When I was so happy, I picked up the needle and thread again and started to make shoes.

"Grandma, it will be done in a while, and the light is not too bright, so don't burn your eyes."

"It's still Ruanbao who knows how to love others, don't worry, I will make milk for a while."

After Grandma Su finished speaking, she said, "Your grandfather also gave this rare item?"

"what."

Su Xiaoruan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Grandpa gave a lot of things last time, and they are all stored there. I only found out when I searched today."

Grandma Su smiled, but said nothing.

"Grandma, Grandpa has given several lamps of this kind, do you think you can let your parents use them?"

Grandma Su paused her hands, and said after a while: "No hurry, let's talk about it after the wall is finished in the new courtyard."

Grandma Su said so on her lips, but what she thought in her heart was that the courtyard wall had to be increased by two feet, and those little Xiaoxiao couldn't be allowed to climb up.

By the way, let Jianye go get some broken glass slag, and put it on the wall at that time, that's the only way to be safe.

"Ruanbao, your father plans to take you to the county to buy a bicycle tomorrow, what do you think?"

"It's done! Is there anything else I need to buy? How about we buy another sewing machine?"

Grandma Su was startled.

"Baby, it's not that grandma doesn't want to buy it, it's that this thing is not cheaper than a bicycle, we can't afford it now."

Su Xiaoruan understands that most of the money in the family has been used to build a house, and the money to buy a bicycle now comes from these few private transactions.

"Grandma, our life will definitely get better and better in the future."

Grandma Su was overjoyed, thinking that Jianye said that as soon as they left that alley, someone would search the black market, and she was convinced that her granddaughter's good luck had returned.

If it weren't for this granddaughter, maybe Su Jianye would have died today.

Early in the morning, Su Jianye took Su Xiaoruan to the bullock cart.

Just in time to see Huo Yunting waiting at the side.

"Yun Ting is going to town too?"

"Well, I'm going back to the army soon. A comrade-in-arms lives in the town. I met him a few days ago. He asked me to bring something to my comrade-in-arms."

"Oh, they are all fellow villagers, so they should help."

Huo Yunting didn't speak any more, but stared at Su Xiaoruan directly.

Su Xiaoruan looked at him first, then looked down at her own toes, always feeling that the unlucky guy's eyes were weird.Thinking of what he helped her last time, Su Xiaoruan felt even more embarrassed.

When they arrived in the town, Su Jianye took Su Xiaoruan to the only bus station in the town.

When they parted, Su Xiaoruan noticed that Huo Yunting was still looking at her.

Seeing Su Xiaoruan's furious heart, could it be that he acted too out of line and was discovered by this keen sense of smell Huo Xiaobing?
After Huo Yunting watched them go to the bus station, he smiled slightly, and then quickly turned into an alley.

Soon, Huo Yunting entered a very simple courtyard.

"Master, you are here."

Huo Yunting raised his hand and made a silent movement: "Uncle Da, how many times have I told you, don't call me young master anymore, be careful that walls have ears."

"Don't worry, the yard in front is also our people, and they will help us keep an eye on it."

Huo Yunting stopped talking and entered the room with him.

"I'm going back to the army soon. I need to trouble you to pay more attention to the Huo family's affairs."

"Don't worry, young master, the Huo family is kind to the Gu family, and we all understand it in our hearts."

Huo Yunting paused for a moment, and then said: "There are also the Su family of Jingxing Brigade, Su Xiaoruan's family, you should also pay more attention, if they encounter difficulties, remember to help them."
