SIAS Chapter 40.1

What did it feel like for six people to whiz down the street on bicycles?

It was probably like the luxury cars taking a stroll in groups in later generations.

Most people didn’t even have such a grand ceremony when they got married.

“When we went to the countryside together and walked on this loess road for the first time, who would have thought that we would ride bicycles together in just over a month?” Chen Zhihe laughed heartily. He couldn’t help but say it regardless of the wind blowing the yellow sand into his mouth.

“Except for Qingqing who brought her own bicycle ticket, we all had to thank Comrade Yun for his capable hands.” Qian Lailai said.

She was quite embarrassed. Today, for her bicycle, Yun Guyuan had given up his lucrative bicycle business.

“I just do the job for money.” Said Yun Guyuan.

“Lailai is right. We have to thank you!” Chen Zhihe started to make fun of him.

Yun Guyuan: “…”

When Yun Guyuan didn’t respond, Chen Zhihe lost interest in teasing him and went to talk to other people.

“Let’s line up in a row. When the time comes, six bicycles in a row will ride into the village, and we will definitely become the coolest presence in the village.”

“Okay, keep a low profile. Don’t do those useless things. Otherwise, it will make people jealous and cause trouble.” Zheng Xiaolong reminded his brother.

There was no work today, so there were not many people in the fields outside the village.

The villagers either took the commune tractor to go to the market or worked at home or in their private plots.

The educated youth point was on the edge of the village, so it would not pass by the area where the villagers lived.

But unfortunately, they stayed in the county town for a while longer and happened to catch up with the time when the tractor came back and the villagers returned to the village with big and small bags.

“My God, why are there so many bicycles? Could it be that some leader has come?” A villager looked at the figures from a distance and said puzzledly.

“No way, my husband didn’t mention any leader’s inspection.” Lin Guihua retorted.

“It’s the educated youths!” Said the Village Chief’s wife.

“Oh my god, I think two bicycles are the maximum. But, there are six of them. What kind of families do these newly educated youths come from? Did they buy bicycles just like that?”

Some villagers exclaimed.

Liu Chunxing and Wang Lingling next to them felt a little embarrassed, especially the former.

As newly arrived educated youths, the other six people all rode bicycles, but the two of them could only squeeze into the tractor with the villagers, and now they had to change their feet to walk.

The old educated youths were also in a state of ups and downs, each with their own calculations.

“Auntie, are you here too?” Yi Qingqing saw several members of her group and greeted them.

From then on, she no longer had to worry about being watched when riding a bicycle. Because there were five other people who could help her bear the pressure!

Several people on bicycles passed by the villagers who were returning to the village.

Even after they had ridden so far away that there was no trace of them, the villagers were still discussing the wealth of the newly educated youths.

Among them, Li Mengxue was recognized as the best.

Because not only did she not worry about earning work points, but she also always looked like she could fill her stomach without relying on work points or food, and she looked very confident.

Yi Qingqing, on the other hand, temporarily ranked second because she worked too hard.

With someone in front, she, the second rank, did not have to worry at all.
