In 1980, bicycles were a large item in the family and were not something you could just have if you wanted to.

Not only do you need money, you also need tickets.

Shen Houdao is 16 years old this year and is entering his first year of high school in the summer vacation. The high school is far from home and he really needs a bicycle.

What's the use of a watch?

It's better to use a bicycle.

Shen Guanglin asked him: "Why do you want a bicycle? Going to school is not the reason. After all, you can live on campus and there is no need to go to school."

Shen Houdao was a little embarrassed: "Because, there is a girl in the village named Xiao..."

"My name is Xiaofang? She is good-looking and kind? She has a pair of beautiful big eyes..." Shen Guanglin answered directly.

"No! It's not what you said. Her name is not Xiaofang, but Xiaohui. She also wants to go to day school, just because I don't have a bicycle. She said she will take Tiezhu's bicycle to school when school starts."

Thinking of Xiaohui, Lao Shen's face turned red, filled with happiness and melancholy.

"Does my brother-in-law know that you are having puppy love now? Will he slap you with the sole of his shoe?"

"How is that possible? My father said that if I have a baby, let me take over now. You have never seen that Xiaohui. She has a big ass and will definitely give birth to a boy."

Shen Houdao said with great joy, he had long wanted to take over, otherwise he wouldn't be so bad at studying.

It took a lot of effort to get me into this high school.

Shen Guanglin observed a minute of silence for his future wife.

Old Shen already knew so much at the age of 16. How did he persist in getting married until he was 28?

Could it be that he is getting married for the second time?

"Then I want to go and see how pretty Xiao Hui is." Shen Guanglin was really unhappy.

"Who are you looking at? Who is Xiaohui?" Li Rong, the young lady, was very sensitive when she heard the name Xiaohui and immediately intervened.

"My cousin, he said he is planning to date someone. His name is Xiaohui. She is very good-looking, stunningly beautiful, graceful and graceful. No one can compare with her." Shen Guanglin said. He was still a little angry as he spoke.

Shen Houdao was still honest. He told the truth: "Sister-in-law, don't listen to my brother's nonsense. You are still good-looking. But your butt is not as big as hers, and your front is flatter, which makes it difficult to have children."

"Pfft!" Shen Guanglin laughed. Old Shen had never seen Li Li before, she was even smaller in front.

Li Rong was defeated successfully, and she didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

After all he is just a child.

The family chatted until very late before they dispersed. Most of what they talked about was the glorious history of the family and some of the past grievances and grudges over the years.

Shen Guanglin was very interested. Some things he had known for a long time, while others were not. This was the first time he heard about them.

It can be seen that "uncle"'s family has been living a good life in recent years, but "aunt's" family is really not well-off.

My eldest cousin has a son and a daughter, and my eldest nephew is not married yet. A few years ago, it was because of his poor background, but now it is because of poverty.

My daughter got married, but the family she married into was not good, and it was also a high-status family.

After all, it only takes a few years to correct the chaos, and there are still several years of struggle to improve life.

The aunt and her children were going back the next day. There were many things at home and livestock to take care of, so there was no reason to stay longer.

It only took two or three hours from Jinling to Yangzhou. It was still early, so Shen Guanglin followed his uncle and others to pay homage to his ancestral grave.

The traditional forest land of the Shen family has long been expropriated for farming, and Shen Longxian built a tomb for his parents on his dry land.

Otherwise, there will be no place to celebrate the Qingming Festival and the Spring Festival, and it will be boring.

During the war that year, it was unknown where his parents and brothers died, and there was nowhere to find them. Three hundred thousand innocent souls were stained with blood and tears.

Never forget the past and be the teacher of the future.

After all, so many years have passed. Those who are alive have no time to be overly sad. They still have their own lives to continue.

Shen Longxian didn't let Shen Longxian continue to treat him for today's lunch. Today, his aunt paid for it, and she said she had to express her gratitude no matter what, otherwise she would be sorry for her deceased brother.

Yes, please

Next, my aunt was about to say goodbye and go home. Shen Guanglin promised to visit her in a few days and to be a guest at her home for a few days.

Because, to Shen Guanglin, aunt and uncle are equally "close".

After my aunt and her group left, the surrounding area began to quiet down.

Shen Guanglin promised that he would buy a bicycle for his cousin, but he has not yet fulfilled it.

Shen Guanglin has money, but no votes.

I have to ask sister Li Rong for help on this matter, only she can think of something.

She really has a solution.

After all, Lao Li holds a high-level military position. Jinling also has a brother unit of the Ordnance Industry Institute, and there are also Lao Li's classmates here.

I got the bicycle ticket industrial coupon on the same day, so it didn’t take much effort at all.

Sure enough, Shen Longxian himself had money to buy a bicycle for his son, he just didn't have the ticket.

Shen Guanglin didn't need to pay, Shen Longxian took the money to pick up the car himself.

"You young people, let's have some fun and go shopping."

So, Shen Guanglin took his cousin shopping and bought him some clothes to wear in school. We couldn't let the reputation of our Shen family being handsome for generations be diminished, and let the one named Xiaohui take a good look at how handsome our old Shen was. .

The clothes were bought quickly, and they were all "good quality" and Shen Houdao chose them himself.

I really don’t have a good sense of taste, no wonder I always get a taste for antiques.

As soon as the group arrived home, Shen Guanglin didn't even notice, but Shen Houdao rushed up.

A brand new Golden Deer bicycle is parked at the door!

Shen Houdao pushed it out and wanted to ride it. After walking for several steps, he remembered that he didn't know how to ride it yet.

If you don't know how to ride, why are you doing all these chores?

My uncle Shen Longxian was polishing his leather shoes with satisfaction under the tree. He was not very educated, but he was very impressive. He looked like a professional cadre.

Shen Guanglin came up and said with a smile, "Uncle, why did you buy such a car? Wouldn't it be better to buy a small one? It's lighter."

Shen Longxian stood up, looked at Shen Houdao pushing the bicycle back and forth, and took the bicycle from his hand.

"That's different. Look at these spokes. How solid they are! Put a camel basket at the back. Each side can hold a hundred kilograms. It's enough for even a small business." It turned out that what he considered was not lightness and appearance at all. , but practical.

"Also, the one with a chain case is more expensive. If the chain falls off, you have to open the box, which is very troublesome." The uncle said and took another puff of the cigarette with satisfaction.

Sure enough, the living standards are different. Everyone smokes dry cigarettes, but he doesn't. He smokes cigarettes.

And if you wear thick leather shoes in the summer, you don’t have to worry about covering your feet.

Next it’s time for bicycle instruction.

Shen Guanglin wanted to demonstrate to his cousin: "You can learn faster by combining balance and pedaling!"

Then there was a bang and he almost fell.

What kind of bicycle is this? You can't pedal half a circle and reverse half a circle. This is too unfriendly. How can novices learn?

Let my cousin figure it out on his own. I really hope he can learn it and then take Xiaohui into the ditch.

Another day passed, and Uncle Shen Longhou and Aunt Lanmei had to go to work. The only one who was really idle was my cousin Xiaolao Shen who was on summer vacation.

"Xiao Shen, what do you think we should do? It's only the third day here and I feel a little bored."

"Let's go to Murakami to catch eels. Burning them will make us fat."

People in this era didn't eat eels very much, nor did they eat crayfish.

“Where are the eels?”

"There is it in the small river ditch in the village."

Teacher Shen and Li Rong were both very interested and could finally experience the joy of farmland.

The village where the Shen family originally lived was not far from Shen Longxian's unit, and it only took ten or twenty minutes to walk there.

Shen Guanglin had only seen the work of digging for loaches and catching eels on live broadcasts, and even watched a video of eels flying freely in the salty sea.

"Cousin Xiao Shen, our hometown is in the village. Don't we have a house?"

"Yes." Shen Houlin replied casually.

"Then why don't you live in the village?" Shen Guanglin was confused.

"The place was too big. It was originally used by the village committee and was converted into the Shen family ancestral hall." Now.

"Can we still take it back?"
