Chapter 18

In the 21st century, if she can’t finish it, it will be left over and thrown away.

But in this era, Lu Wan feels guilty about wasting food.

Since many people couldn’t even fill their stomachs, it was obviously wrong for her to waste food.

After Lu Wan had eaten and drunk her fill, she left the shopping mall and went directly to the supply and marketing cooperative, intending to buy a bicycle.

Now that you have a bicycle ticket, you will use the bicycle sooner or later.

Buy it early, buy it later, you will have to buy it sooner or later. It is better to buy it early so that it will be convenient to come to the county town later.

When Lu Wan arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, the waiter saw that Lu Wan was well dressed and did not look like a country girl, and his attitude was much friendlier.

“Hello, comrade. What do you want to buy?”

Lu Wan asked, “Do you have bicycles here? I want to buy one!”

“Yes, two cars came in just two days ago. One was sold, and there is one left. Comrade, you are really lucky.”

After hearing this, Lu Wan was secretly rejoicing.

Fortunately, I got the bicycle tickets in time this time, otherwise I would have to wait for the next batch of goods to arrive and I don’t know when I would be able to buy them.

“Well, give it to me. I’ll buy it. How much is it?”

“One hundred bucks plus a bicycle ticket.”

Lu Wan took out ten Great Unity banknotes and a bicycle ticket from her pocket and handed them over.

“Give.”

The salesperson took inventory and saw that everything was correct, so he said to Lu Wan, “Okay, I’ll go to the warehouse and get the goods for you. Wait a moment.”

As he said this, the salesperson went to the warehouse, and after a while, he pushed a brand new bicycle back.

“Comrade, please inspect it first to see if there are any defects. We will not be responsible once it leaves the supply and marketing cooperative.”

Lu Wan responded, then pushed the bicycle a few times and checked it carefully.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with the bicycle, he confirmed the receipt and said, “Okay, no defects.”

“Comrade, do you have anything else you want to buy?”

Lu Wan also plans to buy wedding supplies.

But she didn’t plan to buy anything this time. She would wait until she came back and choose together with Su Zhenhua.

After all, the two of them will be together in the future and will use things together, so she has to consider Su Zhenhua’s preferences.

“Not yet, if there is, come back next time.”

“Yes, comrade.”

Lu Wan pushed her bicycle and left the supply and marketing cooperative.

When we went back, it was much more convenient with a bicycle.

Compared to walking speed, cycling is much faster.

Lu Wan arrived at the production team in more than half an hour.

As soon as the bicycle was ridden into the production team, it immediately caused a sensation.

At present, no one in the production team had a bicycle, and Lu Wan was the first to buy one, which of course attracted everyone’s attention.

“Lu Zhiqing, where did you get this bicycle?”

Lu Wan didn’t hide it, “I bought it myself.”

Everyone gasped when they heard Lu Wan’s answer.

“Oh my goodness, Lu Zhiqing is so amazing! He actually bought a bicycle?”

“There’s nothing strange about this. He’s from the city and his family is well off. Isn’t it normal for him to buy a bicycle?”

“Yes, I heard that many families in the city have bicycles. Lu Zhiqing is from Kyoto, so it’s normal for him to be able to afford a bicycle.”

“I’m so envious. Lu Zhiqing’s family is so well-off that he can easily buy a bicycle.”

“…”

“…”

Everyone’s envy was beyond words, and everyone wanted to own a bicycle like Lu Wan.

Someone said sourly, “Lu Zhiqing, you rarely leave the production team, so why did you buy a bicycle? Isn’t this a waste of money?

The girls in the city are just not as good at living as the girls in the country.”

Lu Wan was a little unhappy when she heard the slander.

Did you spend her money? Did you eat her rice? She’s really nosy.

Before Lu Wan could respond, Zhu Aihua began to protect her future daughter-in-law.

Zhu Aihua said directly, “Wang Guifen, you are just jealous and can’t stand seeing others doing well, right? You know how to manage your life, but why haven’t you seen your family become prosperous? Your family is the poorest in the entire production team, and you still have the nerve to judge whether others can manage their lives or not.”

Zhu Aihua’s words immediately made Wang Guifen extremely embarrassed.

Many people followed Zhu Aihua and echoed, “Haha, yes, Wang Guifen is just jealous. She can’t stand seeing others doing well!”

“She has money, so why would it bother her to buy a bicycle?”

“…”

“…”

Wang Guifen walked away with a gloomy face.

There was a little more smile on Lu Wan’s face.

It feels so good to be protected by my mother-in-law!

Unlike Jiang Qingguo’s mother, who wanted to join forces with outsiders to bully her.

Let Liu Lili enjoy such a weird mother-in-law.

Lu Wan’s originally disturbed mood recovered a little.

Lu Wan explained, “I bought this bicycle, but I don’t use it very often. But Comrade Su Zhenhua and I are getting married, and I bought this bicycle as a dowry.”

After hearing Lu Wan’s words, the people in the production team finally understood.

It turns out that the bicycle was used as a dowry!

Everyone looked at Zhu Aihua with envy.

The Su family is so lucky to have married a girl from the city.

If she were a country girl, where would she get such a dowry? It would be good enough for her parents to give her two quilts as a dowry!

Zhu Aihua didn’t expect that Lu Wan would directly buy a bicycle as a dowry.

As a result, I felt even more indebted to Lu Wan.

Zhu Aihua walked up to Lu Wan and said, “Lu Zhiqing, why did you buy a bicycle?

Our family only gave us such a small amount of betrothal gifts, how can we justify you by giving such an expensive dowry…”..

Lu Wan smiled and didn’t think it was a big deal, “Aunt, since I have the conditions, it’s okay to buy more dowry.

If my parents were not around, they would have prepared more for me. It’s just a bicycle, which is really nothing to my family.

You have tried your best to get me a dowry, you value me enough, and you have done nothing wrong to me.”

Zhu Aihua didn’t expect Lu Wan to be so good at comforting people.

It is her blessing to marry such a good daughter-in-law.

I guess it’s the blessing of her husband in heaven!

Zhu Aihua patted the back of Lu Wan’s hand and said, “Okay, you have your own ideas, you can make your own decisions on some things.

Lu Wan didn’t stay long and pushed her bicycle back to the educated youth site.

However, people in the production team were still talking about her dowry, and most of them were envious of the Su family.

Huang Xiaocui felt unhappy after hearing this, thinking that not only had the man she loved been snatched away, but everyone was also saying that Su Zhenhua was marrying above his station with Lu Wan.

“Isn’t it just a bicycle? What’s the big deal? Why make such a fuss about it?”

Huang Xiaocui’s words were overheard by Su Zhenhua’s cousin, Su Jinmei, the daughter of team leader Su Changde.

Su Jinmei usually disliked Huang Xiaocui, and now when she heard her say this, she mocked her, “Huang Xiaocui, you don’t even care about a bicycle?

So, can your family afford it, or can your family afford a bicycle for you as a dowry?”
