Chapter 52 - 52

Chapter 52 BicyclesSince starting work in the spring, I've worked for more than half a month straight, and finally I have a day off.Yun Ting sighed, "This life of a beast of burden! When will it ever end? What's the difference between this and working in the future? The difference is that this is physical labor, and you have to be exposed to the wind and sun. Luckily, she has her space and spiritual spring water, otherwise she wouldn't be able to live like this."She could understand why those educated youth went from being full of fighting spirit at the beginning to being despondent now. Life was really hard and there was no hope, because they didn't know that the college entrance examination would be reinstated in a few years!Today is a rare day off, and everyone is going to town. Yun Ting is definitely going too. She's recently collected a lot of various mushrooms and wild vegetables, which she's dried to send back home.Moreover, she has a lot of food stored up in her space, and after such a long time, she can go and trade it again.After hitching another ride with Yang Qingqing,Yun Ting made up her mind to buy her own bicycle. It was really inconvenient, so she went to Uncle Chen today to ask if he had any bicycle vouchers. She wanted to get a bicycle too.When Yang Qingqing learned that she also wanted to buy a bicycle, she hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Are you sure you want to buy it? Don't let it fall into the ditch again."" Yang Qingqing, you need to forget about this right now. It was a mistake, don't you understand?" Yun Ting said angrily."So, was that fall in the snow also a mistake?"" Yang Qingqing, you're not cute at all, hmph..."Why do you always expose other people's shortcomings? Doesn't Yun Ting have any pride?It's all that old woman's fault. Not only did she cause her to fall in the snow, but she also made sure the whole village knew about it.Seeing her huffy expression, Yang Qingqingsmiled and said, "Yes, you're cuter."She genuinely felt that way; if she were a guy, she would definitely pursue Yun Ting. She's so adorable!If Yun Ting knew what Yang Qingqing was thinking, she would definitely say: Sister, your idea is dangerous!"I have some gossip to share with you, do you want to hear it?" Yun Ting sat on the back seat, swinging her legs leisurely. For a moment, she didn't want to buy a bicycle anymore. Sitting on the back seat was so comfortable."Are you trying to make me tired enough? Stop it, don't keep moving around like that," Yang Qingqing said irritably."Haha...sorry, isn't this comfortable?""You're comfortable now, but my legs are about to cramp up.""I offered to help you, but you refused. Whose fault is that?""Why wouldn't I want to? Don't you have any idea?""Hehe... Let's not talk about that anymore. I'm telling you, Educated Youth is coming up again..."Yang Qingqing responded with an "oh" without much surprise.How can you be so calm?"What else can we do? Let them come, it's none of our business. We just need to do our own thing."Yun Ting exclaimed, "Truly worthy of being the female lead, her demeanor is extraordinary!"But you don't know that you're about to be in big trouble.Don't think she doesn't know. Recently, Yang Qingqing and Lu Jiayan's relationship has gotten much closer. It seems that Lu Jiayan is about to win the heart of his beauty, but big trouble is about to come. Yun Ting wants to shed a tear for him. There are so many stumbling blocks in the love between the male and female protagonists!Look, why bother with dating? Being single is so much better, no worries...If Duan Xingye knew what she was thinking, he would be devastated.Upon arriving in town, the two parted ways, just as always.For so long, they haven't asked each other what they've been doing. They're both smart people; they know the other has secrets, but they don't pry, keeping each other comfortable. That's why they're getting along better and better now.As usual, I went to Family Compound first, and each time I arrived just before Zhou Yulan went to work.After several transactions, Zhou Yulan also made a small fortune by following her. Now, his eyes light up whenever he sees her; she's a real money-maker!" Little Sister, we've been waiting for you for so long.""Isn't this the village starting preparations for spring plowing? Sister, don't rush!""How can I not be anxious? Quite a few people have asked me about it.""Sister, you still need to be careful and not be too high-profile," Yun Ting advised her. These days, speculation and profiteering are serious crimes."Hey, I know, don't worry, they're all reliable sisters. I won't tell anyone else.""Just keep it in mind."Since Zhou Yulan had to go to work, the two didn't say much, paid the bill, and then Yun Tingwent out with her." Uncle Chen, do you have a bicycle ticket?" Yun Ting asked with a smile as soon as he saw Chen Jing."I happen to have one here, take it.""Thank you, Uncle Chen.""How much cargo is there this time? Let's stop for a while after this is done; the checks are being very strict lately."Yun Ting knew that since Uncle Chen had spoken, there must be something going on above. Money could be earned later, so safety should come first!As usual, after the transaction, Yun Ting went tothe Supply and Marketing Cooperative to look at bicycles.The salespeople in the bicycle section of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative all catered to different customers. Yun Ting was fair-skinned and pretty, and her attire clearly indicated she was from the city, so the salesperson didn't dare to underestimate her. They greeted her with a smile, " Little sister, are you buying a bicycle? We only have two left. If you wait another day or two, we'll probably run out of stock again.""This is a Phoenix brand 28-inch bike, its load capacity is the best. It's 180 yuan more for a bicycle ticket, what do you think?"Yun Ting looked at the other machine next to her, "What about this one?""This is the Flying Pigeon brand, 26 inches, quite lightweight, and definitely more suitable for female comrade.""I want this one.""Okay, Little Sister, have you brought all the tickets? Make sure to check both the industrial tickets and the bicycle tickets. You can't miss a single one. You can only issue a ticket if all the paperwork is complete."Yun Ting took out her money and receipt and handed them to the sales clerk, who happily went to issue her the receipt." Little Sister, please wait a moment! I'll issue you the invoice right away."Before long, the salesperson came over with the receipt. "Remember, you must register your vehicle at the Police Station within three days! You need the receipt and your household registration book to legally drive on the road. Otherwise, if the joint police checkpoints stop you, they will impound your car. The license plate and vehicle registration are a set, and it's a huge hassle to replace them if you lose them," the salesperson reminded me."Okay, I understand, thank you.""Hey, you're welcome! You can ride, right? Slow down!"Yun Ting happily pushed her bicycle out of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, drawing envious glances from passersby. In those days, a bicycle was like buying a BMW in modern times; how could anyone not be envious?Yun Ting went directly to the Police Station to register her vehicle. As an educated youth sent to the countryside, her household registration was with the village. She simply put the vehicle in her online storage space so she could use it anytime.Han Yang happened to be at the Police Stationon business. When he came out, he ran into Yun Ting. Although he had only seen him from afar that day, he recognized him at a glance." Hello, little sister! What brings you to the Police Station?" Han Yang greeted Yun Ting with a smile.But he forgot that while he knew Yun Ting, Yun Ting didn't know him at all!"Do you live by the sea?" Yun Ting asked, glancing at him."Huh? I don't live by the sea. No, what does that have to do with you coming to the Police Station?""Do I know you? Why should I tell you? Get out of my way..."Han Yang then belatedly realized that she really didn't know him! No wonder she looked at him like he was a lecher." Little Sister, you've misunderstood. I'm Brother Ye's childhood friend, also known as Duan Xingye. My name is Han Yang. I saw you in the village the other day."Yun Ting then looked him over again, "Oh..."Han Yang: "..."That's it? Oh?
