Chapter 436 Bicycles Cause a Sensation
After Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao arrived in the town, they first made a phone call and then went to the supply and marketing cooperative together to buy two bicycles.
After riding their bicycles to the Public Security Bureau to get their license plates, they went to the grocery store to buy some meat, and then the two of them went home.
After riding their bicycles out of town and walking for a while, they saw that there was no one around, so they exchanged the news they had received.
"Mingxuan, something big happened in the Zheng family.
The second son of the Zheng family was demoted, his wife divorced him and took away their youngest child, and several of his adult children lost their jobs.
Zheng Pengcheng's father was also arrested, and Zheng's uncle also had problems at work.
Even Zheng Pengcheng’s two aunts have trouble at home.”
“I heard this from my grandfather, too.
Grandpa also said that Zheng Pengcheng’s father might not be able to be saved.
As for his uncle, grandpa is contacting people and preparing to take him down in one fell swoop.
It’s that old man Zheng, a tough nut to crack. He always hides behind the scenes and is a bit difficult to deal with.
Moreover, he is an old revolutionary after all, and he has made many contributions. Although he did a lot of wrong things and harmed many people in order to pave the way for his successors and to climb up the ladder himself, his contributions cannot be erased.
But that is something that their top management should consider, and it has nothing to do with us."
"If Zheng Pengcheng's father can't be saved, will Zheng Pengcheng be implicated?" Zhao Junhao asked.
"He is now an educated youth sent to the countryside, which actually provides him with a layer of protection.
But there is no need to worry too much. You have heard rumors about what Zheng Pengcheng did in Beijing before.
Before, he was fine because others did not dare to offend the Zheng family and did not dare to touch him.
If everyone in the Zheng family gets into trouble and becomes a victim, do you think those who have been harmed by him will take the opportunity to report to the police and bring him to justice?"
Zhou Mingxuan didn't say that even if those people wanted to let Zheng Pengcheng go, his grandfather would not let him go.
The confession of Zheng Pengcheng that I had sent to him before clearly stated the crimes he had committed.
Now grandpa and his men are focusing all their efforts on dealing with the second generation of the Zheng family. After the second generation is over, it will be the turn of the third generation.
Of course, grandpa and the others would not do anything rash or accuse people of crimes at random like the Zheng family did. They would only reveal the wrong things they had done and make them get the punishment they deserve.
As for Mr. Zheng, his descendants all obeyed the law. Even if his sins were forgiven by the higher-ups, he had been too arrogant over the years, harming and offending many people. I'm afraid he would not get any good results.
Zhao Junhao said, "I really hope Zheng Pengcheng can be investigated and taken away sooner.
Only if we get rid of him can we live a good life."
Zhou Mingxuan reminded, "Zheng Pengcheng must have been keeping an eye on us during this period, so we should be careful these days."
"I don't need you to remind me of this."
"I have to tell Liu Zhiqing about the Zheng family's accident and ask him to tell grandpa.
The Zheng family made a lot of efforts to get grandpa sent down, so he should be happy to hear the news."
Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao’s new house is at the back of the village. To get back to their new home, they have to almost cross the entire village.
When they came back, it was already quite late. Those who had worked in the morning had already finished work and were heading home.
The two men, each riding a bicycle, entered the village and immediately caused a sensation.
You should know that currently in the village, only the team leader's family has a bicycle.
The team leader treasured the bicycle very much. He would only ride it when he went to the commune for meetings and rarely used it at other times.
By the way, Secretary Xu's family also has one, which was the betrothal gift for his second son's marriage. The bicycle ticket was bought last winter by Liu Jingxue in exchange for meat, and the watch ticket.
It was also because of the bicycle and the watch that his second son successfully married his wife at the end of last month.
Liu Jingxue also attended the banquet.
After all, it was a wedding in the secretary's family, and the other educated youth in the village pooled their money to give gifts. Zhou Mingxuan, Zhao Junhao, and Zheng Pengcheng gave gifts individually.
However, the bicycle in the secretary's family was a betrothal gift for the second son's wife. It was used by the secretary's second son and daughter-in-law to work in the town. They would only ride the bicycle back to the production team during holidays.
Also because bicycles are so expensive, Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao came back riding a bicycle each, which immediately caused a sensation.
The villagers gathered around, greeted the two men and looked at the bicycles.
The road was blocked by villagers, so the two had to get out of the car and respond one by one.
"Zhou Zhiqing, Zhao Zhiqing, is this the new bicycle you bought?"
"Yes, I just bought it in town this morning."
"How much does this bicycle cost?"
"With a bicycle ticket, it's 150 yuan per bicycle. Without a bicycle ticket, you can't buy one."
"Where did you get the bicycle tickets?"
"It was sent from home."
The villagers surrounded the two men, asking them questions one after another, and the two responded one by one.
At this time, a young man said, "Zhou Zhiqing, Zheng Zhiqing, please lend me your bicycles. I have never ridden a bicycle before."
Before the two could answer, an older villager started to curse, "Silly Zhu, are you dreaming?
Such an expensive bicycle cannot be allowed to be ridden casually, but you don’t know how to ride it.
If you break it, I won't be able to pay for it even if I sell you."
"That's right, if you want to ride a bicycle, you should work hard, earn more money, and buy one yourself. Why borrow one from someone else?
The educated youth are too shy to refuse you, but you can't be ungrateful and bully them.
If you have the ability, go to the captain or secretary's house and borrow some and see if they will chase you out with a broom."
The man who asked to borrow the bicycle shrank his neck and looked into the crowd. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw no one from the captain's or the secretary's family.
"How dare I go to the captain's or secretary's house to borrow a bicycle? I'll be scolded to death."
"Then you have the nerve to borrow from Zhou Zhiqing and Zhao Zhiqing. Aren't you just bullying outsiders?"
“I didn’t mean to bully them, I just wanted to try out what it’s like to ride a bicycle.
If they don’t agree, I won’t force them.”
"You dare to force them? Can you force them? You can't beat them." The man's partner laughed.
Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao were very satisfied that the villagers were so sensible.
But they still want to have good relations with the villagers.
Besides, in the eyes of the villagers, bicycles are very valuable, but in their eyes, they are nothing.
Zhou Mingxuan glanced at Zhao Junhao, and seeing him nod slightly, he spoke,
"Everyone is joking. No matter how valuable this bicycle is, it is just a means of transportation. How can it be more valuable than a person?
Besides, this thing is not that easy to break unless you drop it or destroy it on purpose.
If anyone wants to learn how to ride a bicycle, you can come to our new home to learn after work in the afternoon when the weather is fine.
After learning this, if there is an emergency and you need to use the car, you can also deal with it.”
"Zhou Zhiqing, can we really go to your house to learn how to ride a bicycle?" the young villagers said in disbelief.
"of course can.
But you guys discuss it among yourselves and take turns. Don’t all go over at once. We only have two cars and we won’t be able to queue up.”
The villagers cheered immediately.
The older villagers warned, "You can study, but be careful not to break other people's things."
"Uncle, don't worry, even if we fall, we can't fall down the bike."
"Okay, everyone, go away. Don't block the road. People still have to go home to cook."
At the villagers' urging, everyone made way for Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao to ride their bikes home.
The villagers stopped there to watch, and a group of children were running after the bicycles.
The two men simply stopped, each picked up the two younger children, put them on the bicycles, one in front and one in the back, and took them away.
After a while, they stopped to change players.
The two did not return home until they had taken all the children for a ride.
