After a simple breakfast, Zhou Wenbing went to work at the rolling mill.
He spent the entire morning busy.
On the way, he met the workshop leader who came to inspect.
After telling the team leader that he wanted to take half a day off, Team Leader Zheng approved it readily.
"Not bad, Wenbing. The previous one has failed, so you found the next one so quickly?”
After Hou Tianliang knew that Zhou Wenbing was taking leave to go on a blind date, he immediately laughed.
"You won't introduce your sister to me. Am I going to be single for the rest of my life?”
Zhou Wenbing was also in a good mood.
She laughed at Hou Tianliang.
After lunch.
Zhou Wenbing took the approval slip and left the factory.
Without the approval of the higher-ups, they could not easily leave the factory during work hours.
Zhou Wenbing knew that the supply and marketing cooperative at Zhengyang Gate sold bicycles.
After leaving the rolling mill, he took a bus.
It didn't take long before they arrived at the bicycle shop of the supply and marketing cooperative.
There weren't many bicycle brands in this era.
The most famous ones were Flying Pigeon, Yongjiu, and Phoenix.
Bikes weren't cheap. The expensive ones cost more than 200 yuan.
The cheaper ones cost more than 150 yuan.
After comparing for a while, Zhou Wenbing chose the 28-yuan long-term brand and spent 165 yuan.
This bicycle was a practical ride. It was not a problem for one person to sit on it.
After Zhou Wenbing paid the money and the bicycle ticket, he went to get the card and smash the stamp.
Buying a bicycle in this era was similar to buying a car in the 21st century. One needed to register and stamp.
This way, the bicycle would be bound to you personally.
It was easy to find it back even if it was lost.
After about two hours, the procedures were finally completed.
"I didn't expect the bicycle to be so comfortable!”
After everything was done, Zhou Wenbing rode his bicycle around.
His heart was filled with emotions.
In the 21st century, cars were everywhere, and he wouldn't even look at a bicycle.
However, now that he was riding a bicycle, he felt like he was driving a sports car.
His heart felt extremely comfortable.
Zhou Wenbing strolled from Zhengyang Gate to Wangfujing, then from Wangfujing to Panjiayuan.
The passersby looked at Zhou Wenbing riding his brand new bicycle with envy.
"This bicycle is really beautiful! It looks like a permanent brand!"
"To ride a bicycle at such a young age, your family must be very rich, right?”
"This isn't something that can be bought with money. You still need a bicycle ticket!”
"Then his father is probably a leader of some unit!”
"This bicycle is really handsome with this young man!”
..
The surrounding passersby discussed.
The envious looks of others made Zhou Wenbing feel even more refreshed.
It could be seen that bicycles were indeed very popular in this era.
After Zhou Wenbing was tired of wandering around, he rode his bicycle back to the courtyard house.
It was getting late, and the workers in the rolling mill were getting off work.
"Yo, am I seeing things? Zhou Wenbing, you actually bought a bicycle?”
Xu Damao saw Zhou Wenbing pushing the bicycle into the courtyard from afar and immediately ran over to check in disbelief.
"Is this a Forever brand bicycle? Can I ride it?"
Seeing that Zhou Wenbing ignored him, Xu Damao continued to smile.
"No!"
Zhou Wenbing rejected decisively.
How could a newly-bought bicycle be ridden by a little person with sores on the soles of his feet and pus on his head?
Zhou Wenbing was afraid that he would infect himself with the strange disease!
"We're all from the same compound. Do you have to be so stingy?”
"If it's easy to ride, I'll buy a permanent one when I get a bicycle ticket.”
Xu Damao was not angry and continued to persuade him.
"I said no, so you can't. Why are you so persistent?”
Zhou Wenbing said impatiently.
"Zhou Wenbing, don't go too far! What kind of attitude is this?”
Xu Damao was also a little unhappy.
"What's wrong? You asked me to ride a bicycle, and I must let you ride it just because you have a good attitude?”
"Then I have to borrow money from anyone who asks me?”
Zhou Wenbing retorted.
The noise of the two attracted the attention of the neighbors.
Instantly, Silly Zhu, Yi Zhonghai, Yan Bugui and the others came over to check out the situation curiously.
There weren't many people in the quad who liked Zhou Wenbing because they couldn't get anything out of him.
At this moment, seeing Zhou Wenbing pushing his bicycle back to the courtyard, they were all jealous.
"Zhou Wenbing, where did you get your bicycle?”
Silly Zhu frowned and asked.
He had thought that First Uncle would be the first person to buy a bicycle in the courtyard. He didn't expect it to be Zhou Wenbing.
This made him very unhappy. Wouldn't Zhou Wenbing have given him all the limelight?
One had to know that First Uncle was a level-eight fitter. His monthly salary was 99 yuan.
It was not difficult for him to buy a bicycle.
Unfortunately, he didn't have a bicycle ticket.
He didn't expect Zhou Wenbing to buy a bicycle in advance.
"Of course I bought it. Otherwise, how could I have stolen it?”
Zhou Wenbing said impatiently.
These beasts were probably jealous.
She couldn't buy a bicycle herself, so she could only be jealous that he bought one.
However, the more envious they were, the more pleased Zhou Wenbing felt.
He just wanted to envy these beasts.
"I think it might have been stolen. Otherwise, how could a first-grade welder like you have a bicycle ticket?”
Silly Zhu insisted that Zhou Wenbing stole the bicycle.
"Silly Zhu, you didn't call me that name for nothing!”
"Do you see the steel stamp on this bicycle? I dare to steal? If you catch him, you'll have to go to labor reform!"
Zhou Wenbing scoffed.
In this era, stealing was a serious crime. The higher the value, the longer the sentence.
This bicycle was worth one to two hundred yuan. If he was caught, he would be dead for more than ten years.
Therefore, no one would be stupid enough to steal a bicycle.
"Then how did you get your bicycle ticket?”
Yi Zhonghai asked with a dark face.
If there was nothing wrong with the bicycle, then there must be something wrong with the bicycle ticket.
Yi Zhonghai had thought that he would be the first person in the quad to buy a bicycle and make everyone envious.
He didn't expect Zhou Wenbing to steal the limelight.
If he didn't get to the bottom of this matter, he would be unwilling.
