On the early morning of the weekend, the wind was gentle and the sun was hanging in the sky early.

It was just after eight o'clock in the morning, but the weather was already starting to get hotter.

Aiguo, Feng Ming, ate breakfast cooked by his sister-in-law Jinghong and sister Xiaoya, and then went out separately.

Xu Fengming is going to meet with the old director of his factory today. It is said that he is a high-ranking official. He will go over to visit and see if he can get another batch of equipment for their factory.

Ai Guo and Feng Ming went out together. They didn't say what they were doing, but they looked so cheerful that it was probably a date with a beautiful woman.

Xiaoya also went out early in the morning. Just like Patriot, she changed into clean clothes, talked to her sister-in-law Jinghong for a while, and then left.

Only Xu Qing, his wife, and his son Hongzhi were left in the house.

The family of three had nothing to do. After dinner, the little one took the diabolo and ran to the front yard to play with Yu Li's daughter.

Xu Qingze and his wife put away the breakfast dishes into the kitchen and started cleaning them together.

Xu Qing hasn't been alone with his wife for a long time, and he hasn't washed and showered with her for a long time. Today is a free time.

The wife washes the dishes and he washes the pot. The sun shines in through the window, making the kitchen bright.

After more than ten minutes, the pots and pans were cleaned, Xu Qing walked out of the kitchen, changed his clothes, and waited for his wife to change her outfit later, so that the family could go to the state-owned store to buy bicycles.

A few days ago, his younger brother and sister gave him all the industrial coupons. Today, he is taking a break and going to buy a bicycle and some food.

There are many people at home now, and the noodles in the two noodle jars will be gone in a few days.

Especially white noodles are eaten the fastest.

Fine grains are much more delicious than stick noodles, and they will disappear before you know it.

It's just that these days, it's not okay to eat white noodles all the time.

The domestic supply shortage has eased, but the supply in the city has been unable to keep up.

Although the stick noodles are not very delicious, it’s not a bad idea not to eat them.

There isn’t that much food. Xu Qing has a lot of food stamps on his person. He can’t buy white flour. What should he do?

I have to mix white noodles and stick noodles from time to time.

As for the family's money, Xu Qing made almost no contribution during his three years of college, relying entirely on Jinghong and his younger siblings.

There is no shortage of food and drink, but Aiguo, Fengming and Xiaoya will have to live their own lives in the future.

Jinghong was embarrassed to ask her sister-in-law and two brothers-in-law to buy food every time, so she often used her salary and the savings she had saved with Xu Qing to buy rice, flour and oil.

After three years, Xu Qing and Jing Hong’s savings were running low.

But you can still get two to three hundred yuan.

After all, during the three years that Xu Qing was studying at university, Jinghong was still working.

Therefore, the money to buy a bicycle is not a problem.

What's more, Ai Guo and Feng Ming secretly returned dozens of dollars to the eldest brother Xu Qing.

If you add another black and white TV to your home, it will not be enough.

However, Xu Qing and Jing Hong have no such plans at the moment. Anyway, there are not many programs to watch on TV these days.

Aiguo, Fengming and Xiaoya never took the initiative to say anything about it.

Simply, Xu Qing kept the TV ticket.

When your family needs money urgently, you can spare it and exchange it for some money.

TV tickets are more expensive than bicycle tickets.

Yan Bugui, the third uncle of the compound, asked Xu Qing several times in private, hoping to give him the TV tickets.

Xu Qing knew that the third uncle wanted a TV ticket but was reluctant to pay more.

This matter has been shelved and nothing has been done so far.

Today Xu Qing was going to buy a bicycle on the street, so he took out the TV ticket, took a look at it, and then put it on his body again.

Don't worry, the family is not at the end of its rope yet.

If the third uncle wants to get an advantage from him, it will never happen.

There is a market for everything, but just because Yan Bugui is the third uncle in the courtyard, it cannot be cheap.

While Jinghong was waiting for her to change clothes, Xu Qing went to the front yard, called her son home, and changed into clean clothes.

When you go out on the street later, the little guy can't go out dirty.

The little guy is very playful and has played with Yu Li's daughter since they were young. He actually doesn't want to follow his parents on the street.

However, Ma Jinghong glared angrily and immediately sat down on the kang obediently, not daring to make any more noise.

It was already past ten in the morning when Xu Qing took his wife and son out.

The sun is not too bright, but it is not cool at all.

The weather in August is no better than in July. The heat is still the same, and the wind blows on your face, which is like a heat wave.

Today, the second aunt and the second uncle, Liu Haizhong, were going to get engaged with Liu Guangfu. They went out to catch the car at around seven o'clock in the morning.

Xu Qing didn't see Xu Damao in the courtyard early in the morning, so he must have gone out early.

Liu Guangtian was in the courtyard, holding a cigarette in his mouth, standing in front of the two stewards, Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui, watching them play chess.

In the middle courtyard, Qin Huairu was washing clothes. Xiaodang and Huaihua helped, one changed the water and the other dried them.

Mrs. Jia and Zhang were sitting under the eaves, avoiding the sun, picking up the soles of their shoes while quietly chatting with her eldest sister about household matters.

When Xu Qing pulled his son through the middle courtyard, Yan Bugui had just eaten a cannon from Yi Zhonghai and was looking very proud. He saw Xu Qing and asked:

"The family goes out to see your father-in-law?"

Xu Qing smiled and said: "Third uncle, I'm going to buy a bicycle."

Yan Bugui said oh, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

Feng Ming had told him this in front of him a few days ago, and Xu Qing went to buy it today. The third uncle was really surprised.

When Xu Qing's family went to the front yard, Yan Bugui came up to Yi Zhonghai and whispered:

"Lao Yi, have you seen that Xiaoqing's life is like no one now? In our hospital, there are only a few people who are in the best condition. I will buy another bicycle today, plus the ones provided by Fengming Factory, there will be three.

.

My family and Xu Damao only have one car each!"

Yi Zhonghai held the chess pieces in both hands, with no expression on his face, "Old Yan, just play chess. What do you mean? Qingzi's family is in a good situation. They earned it together with his younger brothers and sisters. We can't compare."

, don’t be jealous, if you want to blame it, just blame yourself for not having anyone capable."

What Yi Zhonghai said was very pertinent, and Yan Bugui also knew it.

But I just don’t feel good about it.

He has many children, but none of them can compare to the four Xu Qing brothers and sisters.

But it's a little better than Liu Haizhong's third son, just a little bit better.

And this is just what Yan Bugui thinks.

At this time, Xu Qing's family of three had just come out of the alley and happened to meet Sha Zhu. Sha Zhu had gone to his sister Yu Yu's place early in the morning to visit.

I just came back now and saw Xu Qing taking his wife and son on the street, so he said hello and then went back to the compound alone.

There are many people on the street today and it is lively.

It’s the weekend, so there aren’t many people on the streets.

Even if the weather is hot, who wants to stay at home after a day off?

Those who never leave the front door nor step out the front door were the ladies of the common people before the Republic of China.

This is a new era, and people on the street are coming and going in an endless stream.

Regardless of whether it is our daughter, Xiaojiabiyu, or an ordinary working-class girl, they are all on the street.

The children gathered together to play, running around in the crowd, and when they encountered a car, they hid in front of the wall. After avoiding it, they continued to play wildly.

The bicycle repair shop is doing very well.

Xu Qing took his son along the street and saw three houses, all of which were packed with people.

The mode of transportation at this time was bicycles, but business was booming.

When we arrived at the state-owned store, the people inside were even more crowded, shoulder to shoulder, head to head, and noisy noises one after another. Old people, children, men, women, and young students were all crowded at a glance, looking for a place to stay.

Difficult.

Xiao Hongzhi was just over six years old and short. He held Xu Qing's hand with his left hand and his mother with his right hand for fear of getting lost.

Xu Qing went in first, then took his son and his wife, and the three of them lined up in a line and moved forward with the flow of people.

Just a minute after leaving, the little guy saw someone buying soda and shouted for a drink. Xu Qing took out 15 cents and bought three bottles. The family of three drank the soda and continued towards the place where they bought bicycles.
