The next day, I got up early and went to the commune. I walked around leisurely for a while, and then walked around a small alley. If Song Yingwan were here, I would definitely feel that this place is very familiar.
After thanking him, he walked to a young man standing near the entrance of the alley. He was tall and thin and said in a familiar tone, "I'm looking for Ma Xiangyang."
The thin man glanced at him with scrutiny in his eyes, but he didn't say anything. The fact that he could say the name 'Ma Xiangyang' meant that he had some connections.
So he walked over to an inconspicuous person on the other side and whispered, "Just relax your eyes here while I go in."
"Okay, don't worry!"
After a while, the thin man came back, followed by another person. He looked honest, but his eyes were sharp. He paid attention to the surrounding situation from time to time. After seeing the words of thanks, he suddenly dropped his guard.
He walked over and said with an honest smile, "Brother Xie, why are you here today?"
The thank you did not show off, and he asked first, "I heard that you have a few second-hand bicycles. Do you still have them?"
Ma Xiangyang said, "If Brother Xie wants it, it must be there!" After that, he added, "However, this second-hand one is definitely not as good as the new one. If you are not in a hurry, I will see if I can get a new one for a while." Come."
The words of thanks were extraordinary. Ma Xiangyang knew from the time he met him that he was not simple, and naturally he would not be short of money. He would not ride a second-hand bicycle no matter what, so he asked.
Thank you and said calmly, "No, I'm in a hurry to use it. Let's take a look at the second-hand ones first."
Ma Xiangyang was a human spirit even though he was hanging around here, so he stopped talking and said cheerfully, "Okay, thank you, brother, let's go inside, the cars are all stored inside!"
The two of them stopped talking and went to look at the car.
The bicycles were parked in a yard deep in the alley. It was difficult to find them in all the twists and turns. There were a lot of messy things inside.
Ma Xiangyang sneered and said, "Brother Xie, the conditions are not good, don't mind!"
Xie Ci's expression remained unchanged and he said calmly, "It's okay."
Ma Xiangyang also somewhat understands Xie Ci's character, knowing that he really doesn't care, and he can't help but feel much relieved. The reason why he is so dedicated to Xie Ci, apart from some things at the beginning, is that he is a person who never makes mistakes and makes mistakes. That's what he did, and after knowing that he was in this line of work, he didn't look down on and shun him like the others.
His smile became even brighter, "Brother Xie, the cars are all here. Take a look at which one you want."
Xie Ci stepped forward and checked various parts of several bicycles. They were all similar. Later, he picked one that looked relatively new and there was nothing wrong with it.
"Just this one!"
"Brother Xie has such a good eye. I got this car back a few days ago. I bought it just a year ago and then sold it after something happened at home. It's the best of the bunch."
Xie Ci turned his head and glanced at him. Compared with the other cars, this car was relatively new at a glance. Anyone with eyes could tell the pros and cons. He didn't know how to respond to his words.
Ma Xiangyang was stunned by what he saw, and asked in confusion, "Brother Xie, what's wrong?"
Xie shook his head and didn't want to say anything, so he asked, "How much is it?"
Ma Xiangyang waved his hand, "It's an old bicycle, but I don't need Brother Xie to pay for it."
Xie Ci said coldly, "I won't want it if you don't tell me."
Ma Xiangyang choked. Seeing his serious expression, he hesitated and said, "...fifty?"
Thank you, "One hundred, no more."
If you buy a second-hand bicycle for 100 yuan at the current going price, no one will lose.
Ma Xiangyang said, "...Okay, okay!"
After Xie Ci paid, he pushed the cart and prepared to leave. Ma Xiangyang saw this and said quickly, "Brother Xie, wait a minute. This cart is already dead. I'll find someone to clean it for you."
There were indeed a lot of stains on the car body, so I thanked him without refusing, "It's troublesome."
Ma Xiangyang smiled and said, "No trouble, just one sentence." After saying that, he shouted, "Monkey, come out and clean this car for my brother."
"Hey, okay!" Then a clever young man ran out of the house and brought a basin of water with his hands and feet.
Having already arrived, Xie Ci thought for a while and asked, "Do you still have some fine food here?"
Ma Xiangyang was stunned for a moment, "Yes, but you bought a lot last time and have already finished eating?"
Thank you, "No, the weather is getting cold, so we won't come to the commune much in the future. If I come here this time, I'll take some back."
Ma Xiangyang also understood and responded, "That's right. The food won't go bad anyway. Brother Xie, just wait. I'll have someone get it for you. How much do you want to prepare this time?"
He thanked me and said, "Five kilograms each of white flour and polished rice. I can carry more on the bicycle."
Ma Xiangyang said, "Okay!" After saying that, he turned around and went out.
After a while, Ma Xiangyang came back, followed by two people, each carrying a bag of grain and a layer of cloth bags outside.
"Brother Xie, everything is here. I'll have someone put it in a backpack for you later, and cover it with vegetable leaves." This is what Ma Xiangyang does, so he naturally knows how to hide it from others.
Xie Ci also had this intention, and it would definitely not work if he took it back blatantly.
He nodded, "Thank you."
Ma Xiangyang said, "No, no, no, if you need anything in the future, just come to me."
At this time, the car was also cleaned. I thanked him, paid for the food, and left.
This time, Ma Xiangyang did not refuse and readily accepted.
I rode a bicycle when I came back. Naturally, some people in the village saw it, but the bicycle didn't look like a new one. I thought I was borrowing someone else's bicycle. After all, I didn't expect anyone to spend money to buy one. It came back broken, so it didn't cause much trouble.
As for the backpack on the car, their sharp eyes naturally saw the vegetable leaves inside, but they didn't think much about it. In fact, they didn't expect anyone to buy food like this, or fine food, they had never seen it before!
Some time after the first arrival, the car appeared frequently in the village again, and everyone gradually came to their senses, but their attention was only on giving way to the bicycle. This is a story for another time.
After thanking him for riding back, Song Yingwan was very satisfied after looking at it. The bicycle must be not long ago, and it still looks like 70%25 to 80%25 new. It can be seen that the previous people took good care of it and took good care of it when riding it.
Xie Ci looked at her crooked eyebrows, raised the corners of his lips, and said, "Among the few cars, this one looks newer, and the rest are a bit worn out, but this one also has the highest price. I want one." One hundred but no votes.”
Song Yingwan looked up at him, "This is very good, it suits us very well."
Xie Xi pushed the car into the shed. Of course, when the shed was built, it was fortunately built a little bigger. He just thought that some debris could be piled here, and now it is actually used.
He had a calm expression on his face and said as he walked, "As long as you like it."
When Song Yingwan heard this, the tips of his ears felt a little hot, and he lowered his head and curled his lips silently.
On this day, Sister-in-law Hongying and Aunt Guihua rarely had time to visit Song Yingwan. As soon as they walked in, Aunt Guihua shouted, "Hey! This yard is getting more and more decent now!"
Sister-in-law Hongying also smiled and said, "It looks pretty good."
When it rained before, walking around the yard was covered in mud, making walking inconvenient. So Song Yingwan found some small stones and pebbles on the river bank at the foot of the mountain and paved a path in the yard. It is only as wide as a person can walk.
She didn't dare to plant flowers or trees, so she found some old clay pots and planted some common mosquito repellent or rosemary and mint. taste.
Of course, Song Yingwan was very happy that the results of her hard work were recognized, and she said excitedly: "Come over and take a look at the vegetables I planted. They have sprouted in the past two days, but I'm afraid it will freeze if the weather is too cold." broken."
