Chapter 32 Buying a Bicycle

"Can I really get it again?"

"Of course, otherwise what should I use?"

"Then thank you."

"You're welcome. Oh, by the way, can you tell me the address of your village? If I have time later, I will help you find some other textbooks and send them to you. Of course, I can also go to your place to have fun."

"Okay." Zhai Ying told Ye Lin the address of their village, and Ye Lin wrote it down.

With Ye Lin's memory, there is no need to write it down on paper. He has a photographic memory. What he hears is basically the same as what he sees and he will never forget it.

After Zhai Ying left, Ye Qi pulled him and asked: "Brother, you gave her the new book, what should you do?"

Zhai Ying doesn't know, and Ye Qi still knows. It's not like what Ye Lin said. You can still get it if you don't have it. The students in the school are all fixed, except for the freshmen, who can be said to be a carrot and a pit.

There are as many textbooks as there are students, there are no extra ones.

Ye Lin gave Ye Qi a roll of his eyes and said, "Why do I need books? It's better to give them to people in need. Send me new books. It's basically a waste."

Hearing what Ye Lin said, Ye Qi was really speechless, but she knew that Ye Lin was right. Just now she took out the books that Ye Lin had used in school, and every one of them was the same as a new book, and they probably had not been opened.

opened.

"Let me see how you explain it to mom."

"No need to explain. Oh, by the way, if you don't tell me, I forgot, Mom. Come on, you two go to the department store with me."

"Department store? Brother, why are you going to the department store?"

"Don't worry about this. You'll find out when you get there."

Ye Lin has always wanted to buy a bicycle for his mother, but he has never had time. Every day he either goes to Pigeon Market to sell things or collect junk. There is no need to go to Pigeon Market today, so Ye Lin plans to buy a bicycle.

"I asked you to go or not?"

"Go! Why don't you go."

When it comes to the places Ye Qi wants to go most, department stores are definitely one of them, because if you go to department stores, you can find delicious food, especially if you have a rich younger brother following you, there will be even more delicious food.

"Let's go."

"Um."

The Imperial Department Store, located in Wangfujing, is the first large-scale department store built by Imperial City after the founding of the People's Republic of China. It is known as the "First Store in New China".

It mainly operates daily necessities and opened in September 1955.

As soon as the three people entered, they were stunned by the noise inside. As expected of a department store, there were so many people that it could be said that people were bumping into each other. Fortunately, bicycles were not sold on the first floor, otherwise they would have been unable to squeeze in.

.

The three people hurriedly ran up the stairs to the second floor, which was much cleaner now. The second floor sells large items, such as bicycles and sewing machines, and there were a lot fewer people. There were even few people on the second floor.

"Kids, where are your adults?" When they arrived at the second floor, before Ye Lin and the others could go inside, a salesperson came over and stopped them to ask.

"Our adults didn't come."

"Then what are you doing here? This is not a place to play. You should go somewhere else to play."

No matter what era, there are people like this, but as Ye Lin, who came to this era from later generations, he has long been accustomed to strange things, so he has no intention of doing anything to this salesperson.

"Let's go." Ye Lin took Ye Qi with one hand and Li Ting with the other, and walked directly inside without paying any attention to the salesperson.

Seeing three people go in, the salesperson wanted to say something, but still didn't say it because there was no rule that children couldn't come in.

When he came to the place selling bicycles and looked at the brand-new bicycles, Ye Lin was very excited. He couldn't help but be excited. People who have not lived in this era will not feel this way.

"Auntie, I want to buy that bicycle." Ye Lin pointed to a Phoenix brand women's bicycle and said to a salesperson.

"Uh! Children, where are your adults?"

"Why are you asking the adults?" Ye Lin muttered.

He didn't even think about how old he was, just a teenager. It would be strange if a teenager came to buy a bicycle and people didn't ask. You must know that this is a bicycle, not a bag of peach cakes.

"Kid, do you know what is needed to buy a bicycle?"

Probably because he heard what Ye Lin muttered, the salesperson patiently knelt down and asked him.

"You know, isn't it just industrial coupons and money? I have all of these."

"Uh!" The salesperson was stunned for a moment, probably not expecting that Ye Lin, at such a young age, actually knew about industrial coupons.

"Is that bicycle worth thirteen industrial coupons and two hundred and sixty yuan?"

"Hey, kid, do you know this too?"

"Of course I know, otherwise I'll buy a bicycle."

After Ye Lin finished speaking, he took out thirteen industrial coupons and twenty-six Unity coupons from his pocket. Of course, they had been prepared before coming. He had nothing else to do today but wanted to buy a bicycle for his mother.

"Kid, you... do you really want to buy it?"

"Auntie, do you think I'm joking?"

Does Ye Lin seem to be joking? Of course not. Whoever is joking would take out money and industrial coupons, so the salesperson believed it.

"Kid, please wait a moment, I'll find someone to issue a ticket for you."

"Wait a minute." Just when the salesperson was about to find someone to issue the ticket, Ye Qi suddenly shouted.

"Sister, what's wrong?"

"Brother, when you buy a bicycle, have you ever thought about how to get it back? Ask them first if they can deliver it?"

Ye Qi had never objected to Ye Lin buying anything, even if she bought a bicycle this time, because she knew that no matter what her brother did, her mother would not say anything.

"No, just ride back."

"Ride... ride back. Who knows how to ride? You?"

"Yes, I can ride."

It’s just a bicycle. Although Ye Lin is relatively young and only a little taller than the bicycle, there is still no problem in riding it back. Don’t forget, the front bumper of a women’s bicycle is curved.

"You know how to ride? Why didn't I know?"

"It's normal that you don't know." After Ye Lin finished speaking, he turned to the salesperson and said, "Auntie, go and issue an invoice."

"okay."

If you have money and coupons, these salesmen won't care where you got the money, let alone who bought it. As long as you have these two things, they will sell it to you. You know, I don't know how many people want to

When buying a bicycle, you just lack those two things.

After issuing the ticket, Ye Lin took the ticket and went to hand over the industrial coupon and money. When he came back, the salesperson had already brought out a brand new women's bicycle. Ye Lin went over and pushed it and felt that it was OK.

"Help me take the bike down there."

"Can."

The salesperson helped Ye Lin move the bicycle and not only sent it downstairs, but also outside the department store.

At this time, Ye Lin remembered that he had been busy buying bicycles and forgot to buy snacks for his sister and Li Ting. He tied up the bicycle, took out two yuan from his pocket and handed it to his sister and said: "Sister, I

I’ll wait for you here and go buy some snacks.”

In this era, you need a ticket to buy anything, but there is one thing that you don’t need to buy, and that is snacks, even if you want to buy peach cakes, you don’t need a ticket, but the price is a bit more expensive.

To put it bluntly, these things are prepared for those families with relatively good family conditions. Ordinary people are not willing to buy these things. They can’t even eat and they even buy snacks. What a joke.

"No, I have money, please wait for us for a while."

"Um."

To be honest, it is really troublesome for girls to buy things. They were told to wait for a while, but Ye Lin waited for more than half an hour. He had no idea what the two girls bought and it took such a long time.

Just when Ye Lin was waiting anxiously and was about to lock the bicycle and go in to take a look, two people came out, one of them carrying a small bag of things, which wasn't much.

"Sister, you didn't buy many things? Why are you so slow?"

"There are too many people and we can't squeeze in."

"Uh!" Ye Lin patted his head, how could he forget this.

"Okay, let's go, go back now, it's noon when we get home." Ye Lin looked up at the sun in the sky and said.

"Then let's leave quickly. I guess Li Ting's parents should be worried."

Ye Lin and Ye Qi have nothing to do, and it doesn't matter if they go back a little later, because they are two people, but Li Ting is different. She is the only child in her family. She will definitely be anxious if she goes back so late.

"That's right." Ye Lin nodded, and then said to Li Ting: "How about you call home and say that you will have dinner at my house at noon, so that your parents will not be anxious."

"I think it's okay." Ye Qi nodded.

"Okay, I'll make a call."

I don't know what Li Ting told her family. Anyway, after she finished the phone call, she came back and said happily to Ye Qi: "That's great. My mother told me to go home before dinner."

"Let's go then." After Ye Lin said that, he pushed the bicycle forward.

"Brother, didn't you say you could ride? Why are you pushing me away?"

Hearing Ye Qi's words, Ye Lin gave her a roll of his eyes and said, "What will you do if I ride away?"

"Well!"

Ye Qi then remembered that even if her brother could ride, there was no way he could lead her and Li Ting together. He couldn't ride alone, and the two of them should chase after each other. If that was the case, it would be better to push them away.

Wangfujing is not far from the courtyard where Ye Lin's family lives. If calculated from the south end of Wangfujing, it is only a little more than two kilometers at most. Of course, this distance is not calculated this way, because the department store is not at the south end.

But even so, it was only a little over three kilometers. Although the three of them walked back, it only took half an hour to return to the courtyard.

People in the courtyard saw Ye Lin pushing a brand new bicycle back, and many people came out to see the novelty. This was the first bicycle in the courtyard, and it was definitely no less than someone who bought a super sports car in later generations.
