Of course Ma Debao knew what the thing in the utility room was, it was a motorcycle!
In the early 1990s, which young person didn’t want to own a motorcycle of his own?
However, even domestically produced motorcycles, such as Jialing and the like, often cost several thousand, not to mention mainstream imported cars such as Honda and Suzuki. The prices of these cars basically start at 10,000.
Whether it is a domestic car or an imported car, the price is unaffordable for ordinary people. Being able to buy a motorcycle in the 1990s was definitely a symbol of wealth.
"Brother? Did dad buy this for you?"
When Ma Debao said this, his expression was a little lonely. After all, in his eyes, any good things at home must be used by his brother first. Furthermore, his brother has now joined the work and is a member of the country.
A cadre, and will get married soon.
It is also reasonable to buy a motorcycle to support the scene.
Seeing the disappointment on his brother's face, Ma Defu stopped pretending and said frankly.
"What are you thinking about? Why do you want this? Dad bought this car for you."
"What?"
Ma Debao raised his head and looked at his brother in disbelief. After a moment, he pointed at the car and then at himself.
"Did you buy this car for me?"
"Yes." Ma Defu nodded: "I bought this car for you, and Dehua is coming with me this time. After the summer vacation, she will transfer to the primary school in the town, and she will have to be picked up and dropped off every day.
Dad said it was too tiring to ride back and forth every day, so he bought you a motorcycle."
Li Jie bought this car on his way to Yinchuan the day before yesterday. Buying a motorcycle is not only because he has to spend time transporting his little daughter to and from school, but also buying this car has the meaning of making up for the lost treasure.
Wow!
After being stunned for a while, Ma Debao suddenly jumped up on the spot and shouted with joy.
This surprise came so suddenly!
I have suddenly transformed into a car owner?
At this moment, a picture emerged in Ma Debao's mind.
Under the setting sun, he sat in front and held the handle, while Mai Miao sat in the back seat and hugged him gently, leaning her little face on his back. The two of them galloped freely on the vast Gobi Desert, one lap after another.
Circle after circle, quietly enjoying the rare alone time.
On the other side, Ma Defu saw his younger brother suddenly froze on the spot, couldn't help but walked to him and patted his shoulder.
"Hey, hey, I came to my senses!"
Ma Defu asked curiously after seeing his brother come back to life.
"What are you thinking about?"
Even if he is a biological brother, Ma Debao will not tell his brother what he just thought.
Because that scene is really a bit 'shameful'.
"Nothing."
Then, Ma Debao forcibly changed the topic and pointed to the watch on his wrist.
"By the way, brother, it's getting late, let's set off quickly."
Ma Defu smiled and nodded: "Let's go then. I'll teach you how to drive on the way."
An hour later, the two brothers rode their bicycles to the town. In fact, it did not take an hour to ride a motorcycle from the resettlement site to the town. The reason why it took so long was mainly because Ma Defu taught his brother how to ride a motorcycle.
.
Although Ma Debao is not yet an adult, according to the traffic regulations of later generations, he cannot ride a bicycle. However, it is the early 1990s, and the traffic regulations at this time are not as strict as later generations. At this time, drunk driving is everywhere.
, no one cares about it at all, and it will have to wait until 11 years before drunk driving is actually included in the penalty.
After the car stopped, Ma Debao did not get out of the car immediately. He had his eyes closed, as if thinking about something. It was not until Ma Defu in front of him urged him that he reluctantly got out of the car.
After getting off the car, Ma Debao reached out and touched the handle of the car, gave a thumbs up and sighed.
"Brother, this thing is really exciting!"
Ma Defu is several years older than Ma Debao, and as he is the eldest son of Ma, he has long been accustomed to suppressing his emotions. Over time, the habit became natural, and his temper became much more restrained. Compared to
Despite his brother's excitement, his reaction was much calmer.
"Once you learn it and ride it every day, you won't feel this way anymore."
"Of course not."
Ma Debao denied his brother's statement without thinking. Then he walked to the front of the car and touched it again and again. After a while, he asked again.
"Brother, how long do you think it will take to learn?"
People who can ride bicycles have a natural advantage when learning to ride a motorcycle. Ma Defu learned to ride a motorcycle in only two hours. He estimated that his younger brother's speed should be about the same.
"It's almost done. I think I'll be ready after another one or two hours of studying."
"Great!" Ma Debao waved his fist excitedly: "By the way, brother, do you have anything else to do this afternoon? How about it?"
Looking at his brother's eager eyes, even though he couldn't bear it, Ma Defu flatly refused to continue teaching his brother to ride.
"Not this afternoon!"
His hope failed, Ma Debao suddenly wilted, and Ma Defu couldn't help but explain when he saw this.
"Tomorrow is the foundation laying ceremony of our Jintan Village. Leaders from the county, city, and even the province are here. I really don't have time to teach you this afternoon."
Jintan Village is the first resettlement site in Yuquanying area to establish a village-level administrative area after the implementation of Diaozhuang resettlement work, and Diaozhuang resettlement is a key task plan of the province in the next few years.
Therefore, superiors attach great importance to the establishment of a resettlement site in Jintan Village.
With so many leaders coming, Ma Defu, as a grassroots cadre, naturally has a lot of things on his hands. If he was not responsible for receiving immigrants, he would not have time to come to pick up his mother, his aunt, and Shui Hua today.
"All right."
Ma Debao is not the kind of person who is ignorant. Tomorrow is a big day. He can't delay his elder brother's work because of such a trivial matter as learning to drive. He can still distinguish between the two.
Ma Defu rubbed his brother's head and comforted him.
"After these few days of busy work, I will teach you the lesson as soon as possible."
Ma Defu will be very busy in the next few days. Tomorrow is the foundation laying ceremony of Jintan Village, and the day after tomorrow is the Saihanba spiritual lecture. The day after tomorrow, he has to return to Haiji to attend the county report meeting. He wants all three meetings.
join.
Especially in the report meeting in Dahoutian County, he was one of the protagonists.
Jintan Village was the first resettlement site to be officially established. Ma Defu's role in it was noticed by all the county leaders. The purpose of the county's report meeting was mainly to let Ma Defu introduce Diaozhuang.
What he learned during the immigration process allowed others to learn from him.
Of course, this meeting also affirmed the results of his work during this period.
Ma Defu's eyes lit up, he raised his head and said.
