Chapter 73 Learning to ride a bike



On the other side, Shazhu and Jia Dongxu were sleeping under Qin Huairu's bed, one on the left and one on the right.

Qin Huairu scolded Silly Zhu away in the morning, but he was not discouraged.

In order to win her back, I spent a lot of money to go to the market and buy a new cotton-padded jacket for her.

In this way, Qin Huairu would naturally not be angry with him.

Silly Zhu was left to have dinner at home in the evening.

When it was time to go to bed, she didn't dare to sleep alone and asked either Jia Dongxu or Shazhu to stay with her.

The two argued endlessly and almost got into a fight.

Finally, Qin Huairu spoke up and asked both of them to stay.

The two of them gave up and went home each to grab their quilts and lay them on the floor.

They didn't want to be too far away from Qin Huairu, so they slept on the left and right in front of the bed.

Because of the cold weather, the two of them wrapped their bodies tightly, leaving only their heads outside.

Both of them wore ear protection hats to sleep. From a distance, they looked like two dog heads.

After sleeping like this all night, the next morning came.

Jia Dongxu got up early as usual to buy steamed buns for Qin Huairu, and Shazhu boiled water and served tea to help Qin Huairu get up.

Opposite the Xu family, Lin Bai and Xu Mengjing also got up.

Lin Bai took the basin to the courtyard to wash up, while Xu Mengjing was cleaning up the dirty sheets.

The sheets were stained red, the marks left after a fierce battle.

Blood stains are difficult to remove, so soak them in water first, then wash them after you get off work.

After both of them were ready, Lin Bai carried Xu Mengjing to work on his bicycle.

Lin Bai was chatting with Xu Mengjing while riding.

"Mengjing, when you have time, you should also learn to ride a bicycle. Once you learn how to do it, I will buy you one."

"I can't ride it, and it's too expensive. I'm afraid of falling."

"Just fall if you fall. Be brave and you will learn after falling a few times. I also learned it after falling many times."

"That hurts so much... It's better not to learn."

"Hey, you can't fall as long as I'm here. Regardless of whether you agree or not, I will teach you how to ride this afternoon."

"..."

"You've said so, so I'd better agree."

As they talked along the way, they arrived at the steel rolling mill before they knew it. After sending Xu Mengjing away, Lin Bai rushed towards the pig factory.

I only worked all morning and took a day off in the afternoon to go to the market.

The bed board collapsed yesterday, so I need to buy a new one.

There were not many styles of bed boards on the market, so I chose a sturdy and durable one, bought it for five yuan, and tied it to the bicycle.

I bought some of Mengjing’s favorite sweets and rode back to the hospital.

He untied the rope from the car, carried the bed board into the house and put it there before going out to pick up Xu Mengjing.

When she arrived at the steel rolling mill, she just got off work.

Lin Bai waved to her, and she ran over from a distance.

"Why are you running? Open your mouth!"

Xu Mengjing hesitated for a moment, then opened her mouth.

Lin Bai held a piece of candy in his hand, peeled off the wrapper and threw it into her mouth.

"Take a sip, is it sweet or not?"

Xu Mengjing took a sip and tasted the sweetness.

"Hmm... sweet!"

Lin Bai looked around, but there was no one around, and suddenly he came close to Xu Mengjing's mouth.

Xu Mengjing was stunned for a moment, and Lin Bai stuck out his tongue and touched the candy in her mouth.

Lin Bai also tasted the sweetness.

"Yeah, it's really sweet!"

"Come up here and I'll teach you how to ride a bicycle."

Xu Mengjing was confused and got into the car in a daze.

Lin Bai took her to a deserted place and stopped.

"Come on, come to the front."

Lin Bai held the handle of the car and asked Xu Mengjing to get on the car.

She couldn't control the car when she got in. The car kept shaking and she was about to fall off.

"Lin Bai, I'm afraid!"

"I'm steady, just ride forward boldly."

Xu Mengjing obeyed, put her feet on the pedals, stepped on the pedals, and the bicycle slowly slid forward.

The bike would stop falling when it started to move. Xu Mengjing stepped on the pedal a few more times, and the bike swayed forward.

"Yes, that's how you ride!"

Lin Bai pulled the iron frame of the back seat and followed behind.

With a little experience, Xu Mengjing tightened her grip and rode faster.

Lin Bai started running with the car. After running for a certain distance, he suddenly let go of his hand and let her ride by herself.

But as soon as he let go of his hand, the car body tilted.

Xu Mengjing tried hard to control the car and prevent it from falling.

But her skills were too poor. In an instant, the car fell to the ground and the person fell.

"Ah!" Xu Mengjing covered her knees.

"Did you fall?"

Lin Bai ran to her and helped her up.

She spread her hands, and her hands were bruised, and her knees were scraped.

Lin Bai wiped the dust off her knees and touched her head to comfort her.

"It's like this when you start learning. Just fall a few times and it'll be fine."

Then he helped the car and let her ride on it.

Going back and forth, Xu Mengjing fell three times in total.

But every time I fall, I get a little better than before.

It seems that after a few more falls, she will completely learn how to ride a bike.

Lin Bai taught her how to drive, not just for the sake of learning how to drive.

Instead, she should develop her courage and courage while learning to drive.

From now on, Lin Bai will always be absent.

She had to learn to deal with the beasts in the yard, and she could no longer be bullied to tears like before.

After practicing driving for two hours, Xu Mengjing's legs were sore and Lin Bai was tired from running. That's it for today.

Lin Bai rode her car and took her back.

Entering the front yard, I saw Shazhu and the first man leaning against the wall playing chess.

Before twelve o'clock, they will patrol.

The two patrolled for a while, set up a chess stall and played chess.

Lin Bai only glanced at them without speaking to them, and pushed the cart to the backyard with Xu Mengjing.

After Lin Bai left, Shazhu snorted coldly and started gossiping about him.

"Hmph, you are the only one who is arrogant!"

"Master, look at these two people, they seem to be inseparable from each other every day."

"Yes, we are together every day."

"They're both not married. They're so disgusting. They must be sleeping together. Why don't you report it!"

"There is no evidence, and it is useless to report it."

"Yes! It only works if you catch someone with two hands and rape them in bed."

"Let's talk about it after you catch it. Let's play chess and play chess."

The two were talking when a strong wind suddenly blew up. Silly Zhu shivered and pulled the collar of his coat to cover his exposed ears.

Silhu panicked when the wind blew, and he couldn't help but think of what happened that night.

"Master, stop playing chess and walk around, your feet are freezing."

"Come on, let's walk around and stay warm."

The two of them put down their chess and wandered around the courtyard.

After Lin Bai and Xu Mengjing returned home.

Xu Mengjing started cooking, and Lin Bai installed the newly purchased bed board on the bed frame.

After installation, secure it firmly with iron wire. Now, you no longer have to worry about collapse.

"Mengjing, come and try this bed, it's very strong."

Xu Mengjing, who was wearing an apron and cooking, rolled her eyes at him and called him bad.

Xu Mengjing made two dishes and one soup, one fried diced chicken, one fried fungus, and one egg tomato soup.

Home-cooked food, which seems ordinary now, was considered a luxury item in those days.

Moreover, the two of them ate rice.

The rice was grown by Lin Bai in the space rice field.

It usually takes 120 to 160 days from planting to harvesting, and it takes two months for rice to mature in space.

After eating, the two of them ate and chatted for a while, then turned off the lights and went to sleep.

After sleeping until midnight, I suddenly heard Xu Damao's voice: "There's a fire! There's a fire!"

While shouting and beating the gong, the gong made a harsh sound of "clang, bang, bang, clang".

Fire?

Lin Bai and Xu Mengjing woke up immediately, quickly put on their clothes and went out.

At the same time, everyone in the courtyard moved.

"Where is the fire?"

"It looks like the front yard!"

I was woken up from a sweet dream in the middle of the night, and all my neighbors were in a daze.

Hearing that there was a fire in the front yard, a swarm of people rushed to the front yard.

When they arrived at the front yard, they saw Xu Damao beating the gong but no fire.

"Xu Damao, which house caught fire?" Silly Zhu asked.

Xu Damao pointed to the small fire in front of him, "Here, I have put it out."

"..." Everyone was speechless.

It's just a small fire. You say it's a fire?

Calling up the whole hospital for this matter is not a bad thing.

"Xu Damao, your grandson is serious, right?" Silly Zhu scolded him directly.

"The scar has healed and I have forgotten the pain, but my skin is itchy and it needs a beating, right?"

As he said that, he raised his fist as if to hit Xu Damao.

Xu Damao quickly took a few steps back and hid in the crowd to avoid being beaten by him.

"No, Silly Zhu, even if the fire is small, you can't be careless."

"Don't look at the small fire. If it really starts to burn, it will be too late to put it out."

"If you think I've disturbed you when you sleep, I'll call you when the fire is so strong that it collapses the roof."

Xu Damao seemed to be showing weakness, but in reality everything he said was soft.

Besides, what he said was true, and it was not easy for Silly Zhu to refute.

"Okay, Xu Damao, you are the one!" Silly Zhu gave Xu Damao a thumbs up mockingly.
