Chapter 224 Buying a Bicycle
In the afternoon, Yang Xiaotao left the rolling mill early.

He has not yet received any arrangement from the rolling mill, and Wang Guodong has nothing to do with him, so Yang Xiaotao enjoys the first benefit of an eighth-level fitter, and he will leave work early with pay!

The loudspeaker behind him rang again, playing the list of people who passed the examination.

It seems that this time, Jia Dongxu did not live again!

Yang Xiaotao listened to the gossip, and didn't think about that trash.

With a bicycle ticket in hand, he jumped and trotted all the way, kicking up countless stones, and finally arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative.

It is still a familiar scene. Walking into the supply and marketing cooperative, there are people standing in front of the counter with anticipation on their faces; behind the counter, the salesperson is calm and unhurried.

There are never fewer people here.

After queuing for a while, Yang Xiaotao came up to the soy sauce and bought cloth, and looked at the tired saleswoman, and said.

"Comrade, I'm here to buy a bicycle!"

The saleswoman suddenly didn't understand what she heard, and didn't look at him until Yang Xiaotao said it again.

The shoppers around heard that someone was buying a bicycle, and they all gathered together, looking back and forth at Yang Xiaotao.

These days, not people with status can afford a bicycle. Many young people in the compound want one, but they are all blocked by a ticket.

The person in front of him is obviously young, but he just doesn't know where the ticket came from.

"Tickets and certificates!"

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 the bicycle ticket, and the eyes of the saleswoman narrowed slightly.

Bicycle tickets are no problem.

There is no problem with the bright red seal proving that the upper rolling mill.

Finally, he took out another booklet and wrote down the special font size on the certificate, then looked at Yang Xiaotao, "Comrade, there is no problem with the receipt."

"We need to register identification, please wait a moment."

As he spoke, he took a booklet from the shelf behind him, opened it and asked Yang Xiaotao to fill in his personal information.

Yang Xiaotao didn't ask too much, it was just a process anyway.

After filling it out carefully, the salesperson saw that there was no problem with me, so he led Yang Xiaotao to the bicycle counter.

There are not many bicycles here, but each one has been carefully polished and shiny.

"Comrade, this is the bicycle that just arrived."

The saleswoman pointed to a bicycle that was significantly larger than the one next to it and said, "These are from Phoenix, you can choose one!"

Yang Xiaotao walked in and took a look. He saw the black body of the car, the girder 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 pinnacle bicycle, which was regarded as a must-have dowry, it would be a lie if he didn't say that he was excited.

Although there are other models, but the ticket has been decided, he has no other choice.

Besides, bicycles are far from being popularized at this time, no matter what kind of bicycle you ride, it is a cool existence.

"That's it!"

Yang Xiaotao chose the one in front, it looks the same from the left to the right, the things these days are solid and durable.

"it is good!"

The saleswoman nodded, followed by another check-in.

When Yang Xiaotao came to the counter again, he handed over the purchased bicycle ticket and 160 yuan, and the bicycle was named Yang.

Of course, you need to register to buy a car. In the previous life, you went to the vehicle management office to get a license plate, but now you go to the police station, get a stamp, and then register your personal information and pay 3 yuan a year.

This is the same as buying a car in later generations, you have to pay compulsory insurance, commercial insurance or something, a routine.

Pushing the new car away from the supply and marketing cooperative, stroking the metal frame and the plastic-wrapped handle, Yang Xiaotao stepped on the pedal with his left foot and kicked hard on the ground with his right foot.

The bike relay rolls forward, and then the right leg steps over the back seat from behind, and the whole person sits on the bike.

The whole movement is smooth and flowing, and it has not become unfamiliar due to the change of time and space and the passage of time.

"I didn't expect that the bicycles in the bad street in the previous life are so popular in this era!"

Yang Xiaotao pedaled hard, and the car ran crookedly.

"Riding a bicycle is indeed a lifetime memory!"

I remembered that when I was learning to drive a car in my previous life, I couldn't reach the pedals, so I had to lean over and step on it from under the girder. That scene seemed to be right in front of me.

Even though the body has never been touched in this life, under the control of memory, the bicycle slowly controls the direction, and it has become proficient after running less than [-] meters.

Then Yang Xiaotao controlled the direction and ran towards the police station in Nanluoguxiang.

When I came to the police station, the person on duty was Director Zhang whom I had met.

Yang Xiaotao pushed the cart in and explained his intentions in the future. Director Zhang was also surprised.

When he learned that Yang Xiaotao became an eighth-level fitter and that the car ticket was a reward from the factory, director Zhang's surprised eyes were even more gratified.

Afterwards, with a stamp on it, Yang Xiaotao bid farewell to the police station, intending to go directly to Ran Qiuye's house.

Ran Qiuye is probably at home waiting for news.

When the car came to the corner, Yang Xiaotao saw that there was no one around, 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 in this era.

Yang Xiaotao tied the rice to the back seat, and the pork and ham were all hung on the handlebars.

When he went to Ran's house this time, he wanted to fix the wedding date, and this matter could not be delayed any longer.

bell bell

The car bell fluctuated, and the people in front immediately moved aside when they heard the sound, and then saw a young man passing by on a brand new bicycle.

Afterwards, when people saw the pork and rice on the cart, they began to discuss it.

"This young man is really energetic!"

"The car is new, right? Phoenix brand [-] bars, I really want it too!"

"It's unusual to be able to afford a car."

"Looking at this posture, it should be picking up the bride..."

"This young man is fine. He looks good. He rode a bicycle at such a young age. I don't know if he has a partner?"

Yang Xiaotao's journey along the way attracted envious looks from countless people.

On the street, after wandering around for a while, they came to Ran Qiuye's house.

When the car entered the alley, a group of children were playing in front of them. When they saw a bicycle approaching, they immediately stood up and saluted.

"Brother-in-law?"

"Brother-in-law!"

Yang Xiaotao parked on one foot, and then saw Ran Hongbing running over quickly, looking at the bicycle with bright eyes.

Yang Xiaotao waved, "Come here!"

Ran Hongbing hurried to the front, Yang Xiaotao picked it up and put it on the front beam.

"Sit down."

"Ok!"

Sitting on the bicycle for the first time, Ran Hongbing was more excited than afraid. After a gust of wind blew across his face, the bicycle moved forward slowly.

The little friend behind him ran after him, at this moment, he was the prettiest boy in this alley.

When he came to the door of the house, Ran Hongbing was reluctant to get down, so Yang Xiaotao drove the car inside.

"Mom, eldest sister, second sister. Brother-in-law is back!"

Ran Hongbing yelled loudly, and Yang Xiaotao greeted the people in the courtyard. Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw him pushing the bicycle and the things on it.

Yang Xiaotao didn't care, and went directly to the door.

Ran Qiuye ran out immediately when he heard the sound.

When I got home today, Ran Qiuye was a little restless, thinking about Yang Xiaotao's assessment.

Hearing the sound now, he rushed out and saw Yang Xiaotao driving the car, standing at the door.

In an instant, Ran Qiuye covered her mouth, unable to believe everything in front of her.

"Here, where did you get the bicycle?"

"Passed the assessment, the factory will reward you!"

"Award?"

"Well, reward a bicycle ticket, just bought it!"

When Yang Xiaotao explained the whole story, Ran Qiuye was dumbfounded.

For a moment, Ran Qiuye couldn't believe it, did he pass the test and get a reward bicycle ticket?Is the man in front of me 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 carried Ran Hongbing down, and then untied the things.

At this time, Ran's mother also came out, also startled by the bicycle, and then moved the things into the house with Yang Xiaotao.

Ran Qiuye stepped forward and looked at the bicycle carefully.

He reached out to touch the handlebars, looked at the leather seat, and finally pulled the spokes on the rim with his hands to make the wheels spin, smiling.

At this time, no one in the courtyard felt that Ran Qiuye was childish, because they could not resist the temptation of bicycles.

"Come into the house!"

Ran's mother yelled, and Ran Qiuye quickly stood up, seeing Yang Xiaotao blushing unconsciously, it was a bit embarrassing just now!

The two greeted their neighbors and walked into the house.

Outside, Ran Xinrui and his brother immediately took over the right to use the bicycle.

Of course, they don't know how to ride, but it doesn't hinder them from showing off. This belongs to their brother-in-law, which has never been seen in this alley.

A group of children fumbled around the bicycle, allowing the two to stand out among the children in the yard.

"How much is the bicycle?"

Ran Qiuye handed over a glass of water.

Ran's mother was already busy in the kitchen.

Yang Xiaotao touched his little hand indiscriminately, and rolled his eyes.

"160!"

"So expensive?"

"Okay!"

Ran Qiuye was silent.

"I passed the eighth-level assessment this time, so the little money in the future is nothing."

Seeing that Ran Qiuye felt sorry for Qian, Yang Xiaotao whispered again.

"What? Eighth grade?"

"You are, eighth grade?"

Ran Qiuye was still feeling sorry for Qian just a second ago, but when she heard Yang Xiaotao say this, she immediately covered her mouth and said in surprise.

"Well, the eighth-level fitter has a monthly salary of 99 yuan."

"How? Is your man good?"

Ran Qiuye took a deep breath, looked at Yang Xiaotao's smile, and snorted coldly.

"If you have money, don't waste it recklessly. You will have more time to use it in the future."

"Yes, save some money in the future, when the time comes, all the wages will be handed over to you for safekeeping."

"That's not necessary, what do you men do if you don't have money in your pocket?"

This surprised Yang Xiaotao, those wives and daughters-in-law in the previous life, but the money for cigarettes was taken seriously.

"That's because you don't know anything about men, Xiao Jinku find out!"

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 room.

"Try it, the cloth I bought last time, I made it according to your previous work clothes."

Yang Xiaotao looked at his pants and nodded quickly.

Most of the trousers I wear in the past few years are old trousers, and I only go back to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy new ones during the Chinese New Year, but not only the ticket, but also 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 trousers and went to the back room to change them, and they came out after a while.

"You squat down and take a look?"

"This, it's not very good!"

"fine."

sigh~~

Yang Xiaotao felt a little tight when he put on his trousers, and when he squatted down halfway, the back split open.

He hurried back to the house and changed his clothes.

Ran Qiuye felt embarrassed looking at the crack.

"Next time, I'll go run around with the sewing machine at Sister Xu's home!"

After speaking, I hid the pants in the box.

It's the first time I made pants, but I failed, shame on me.

Yang Xiaotao didn't think much of it, it was a happy thing to have someone make clothes for him.
