Chapter 49 New Cars Enter the Village

Generally speaking, there are two sources for purchasing bicycle tickets at this stage.

One type is bicycle tickets issued by various units according to plans.

Another way is to save industrial coupons.

For example, formal workers working at the Hongqi Coal Mine can receive an industrial voucher for every year they work in the unit. If they accumulate 15 vouchers, they can exchange them for the qualification to purchase a bicycle.

The bicycle tickets issued by various units have simple drawings of bicycles on the front, a circle of lace on the back, and four large characters “Purchase a bicycle with a ticket” written in the middle.

In addition to this, the invoice unit’s seal and the effective expiration date will be stamped on the back.

There are many definitions for this seal. There are differences for coal mine seals, public institution seals, supply and marketing cooperative seals, etc.

Among all the seals, the seal of the Military Control Commission is the most impressive, which means that the person who bought the bicycle may have a relationship with someone in the Military Control Commission.

The salesmen working in the supply and marketing cooperatives are all serious people, and they can get a lot of useful information with just a little clue.

“Please wait here for a moment. I’ll help you pick up the car!” Li Li took the copy of the invoice, said hello, and went to pick up the car for Yue Feng.

Soon, a shiny heavy Forever bicycle was pushed out.

Yue Feng immediately tore off the foam packaging on the wheels and ring beam, pushed the handlebars and walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative.

When I reached the main road, I stepped on the stirrups, jumped on the bike, and gave a light pedal. The bike went far away.

It must be said that this new bicycle is easier to ride than the one that village secretary Wang Jianguo rides. To exaggerate a little, it really feels like riding at lightning speed.

Wherever you ride this shiny new bicycle, pedestrians on the roadside will stare at it. The rate of people turning back to look at it is 100%.

People feel cheerful when good things happen to them. Yue Feng rode his bicycle and before he knew it, he had already arrived at the village entrance.

As soon as the bicycle arrived at the village store, it instantly attracted the attention of three or four old ladies from the Intelligence Department.

“Second son of the Yue family, did you buy a bicycle?” Li Yinhua, the owner of the convenience store, stopped playing cards in her hand and stood up and walked to the door.

“Ah! Auntie, have you eaten?” Yue Feng responded politely, with no intention of getting off the car to chat.

“I’ve eaten. How much did you spend on this car? Is this a Forever?”

“Haha, not much, just about a hundred yuan!” Yue Feng said perfunctorily and continued walking forward.

When Li Yinhua wanted to ask the third question, Yue Feng had already ridden away on his bike. Li Yinhua returned to the house in disappointment.

“The second kid from the Yue family has really made it. I don’t know where he got all the money from, but he bought me a new bicycle!”

“I heard from my little Baoer that Yue Lei’s family has a rack full of hawks tied to it in the yard! Recently, the Zhang brothers Xiaowen and Xiaowu, as well as the father and son of the Li family, have been going up the mountain with him to release hawks and catch game!”

“It’s just some game, how can it be worth so much money? This bicycle must be worth at least a hundred dollars.”

“But it costs more than 180 yuan, and a large and permanent one costs yuan! Last year, when the Chinese New Year was approaching, I went to see it with my boss, but the tickets were so difficult to get that I couldn’t get them even if I had money!” Li Yinhua said very knowledgeably.

When the other women in the room heard the number 180 yuan, they looked at each other and there was a moment of silence. This was a huge sum of money. You have to know that an ordinary family with a savings of or yuan was considered a well-off family in the village.

The follow-up to Yue Feng’s purchase of a bicycle was not over yet. When the bicycle passed through the back streets of the village, a group of children who were watching the fun soon followed behind it.

The children had rarely seen this shiny bicycle. The style was different from the one in Secretary Wang’s house, and the sound of the bell was also crisper.

Among the children, the happiest one was Yue Feng’s younger sister, Jingjing.

From a distance, Jingjing called out “Second Brother”.

After hearing this, Yue Feng stopped, then sat on the beam while holding Jingjing in his arms. He pushed hard with his feet and rode the bike forward again.

The little girl went home on her own bicycle, envied by many of her friends. Along the way, she felt the air was filled with a sweet scent.

The bicycle stopped at the door of the house. Yue Feng propped up the bicycle, opened the door, and then pushed the bicycle into the yard. The little girl was still sitting on the beam and was unwilling to get down. She kept playing with the bell of the bicycle.

Soon, mother Meng Yulan and father Yue Lei came out of the house.

“Dad! Mom! This is the bicycle I just bought!!” Yue Feng grinned and just stood there quietly.

Mother Meng stared at the brand new bicycle in the yard, frowning slightly: “Son, why don’t you discuss this with your family about buying a bicycle?”

“This is an enhanced permanent SUV! Where did the ticket come from?” Yue Lei looked up and down at the car’s nameplate, his eyes filled with joy and confusion.

Yue Lei and his wife knew that their son had made money by delivering wild game recently. After all, his wife would tally up the accounts every day and then distribute the money to the falconers.

But no one dared to think about buying a bicycle. In a relatively remote and underdeveloped mountain village like Xing’an Village, this thing was not something that an ordinary family could afford.

As for the three turns and one ring that comes with getting married, that will take a while to come!
“Hey, I have enough money. I need it every day when I go to the city. I can’t always go to my uncle’s house to borrow money every day. I just bought it when I had the chance!
I spent fifty yuan to get the ticket through a friend I met at the ghost market! How about I hold your hand and ride around the yard twice?” Yue Feng replied with a smile.

Yue Lei shook his head: “My legs are not in good condition yet, so I dare not show off!
It’s a good thing to buy it. I can save myself the trouble of going to the city every day. It’s more than 40 miles round trip, and I can’t stand it if I just walk for a long time!”

Since my dad didn’t express any objection to buying a car, it meant that Yue Feng’s act of acting on his own was over.

Although my mother complained that her son did not consult the family before buying a bicycle, her body was very honest. She approached the bicycle, touched the paint carefully, and couldn’t stop smiling.

“Life will get better and better! Now the bicycle is just an appetizer. When I save enough money, I will buy a gun and a dog!” Yue Feng continued to give his parents vaccinations in advance.

“Buy a gun? And a cannon! Don’t waste your money. Give it to me and I’ll save it for you. You’ll need it to build a house and get married in the future!”

Meng Yulan somewhat regretted not nationalizing the local finances, and said as she glanced at her son.

Yue Feng grinned and said: “Look at what you said! Your son can earn dozens of yuan a day now!
How much money can you spend on buying a gun or a dog? My dad has agreed to this, so you can’t hold me back, mom!”

Yue Lei also nodded: “Since my son wants to do it, let him do it! Lao Li and I will keep an eye on him. Xiaofeng is a steady person and he won’t do anything rash!”

Now, the father and the father have formed a united front. Although Meng Yulan is still a little unconvinced, she no longer insists.
