Capítulo 23: Bicycle (3)
Editor: Henyee Translations
Zhou Boyan was so full that he didn't want to speak. He didn't feel anything when he was eating. He only focused on eating. After eating, he felt that the food was stuck in his throat and he was about to vomit.
Yue Yan was not any better. She had eaten Malatang for a long time and ate it until her stomach hurt.
The two puppies circled the table. What about the leftovers? Why didn't they feed them the fragrant leftovers? They had been waiting for a long time.
Everyone sat for a while before scooping a bowl of bingfen each to help digest their food. "Yueyue, your family's shop will definitely be very popular if you sell this." Zhou Boyan's family background in this life was not bad. It could be said that he was born rich and did not have to worry about food and clothes. However, he had never eaten such delicious food.
Something that even he felt was delicious would definitely have great business.
"How do you price this?"
Yue Yan hesitated and said, "10 cents for two vegetarian skewers, 30 cents for a meat skewer, and 50 cents for a serving of noodles."
Zhou Boyan thought for a moment. "The price is a little low, but if we can recoup our capital, many people are willing to eat it at this price."
Yue Yan smiled and said, "I think so too. We'll earn a lot of money if we set up a stall. We'll increase the price when we have a shop in the future."
Zhou Boyan laughed. This young lady was afraid of making too much money.
He suddenly remembered. "Is Yueyue a little far from school after you moved?"
Yue Yan nodded. "It's not convenient. You have to wake up half an hour early every day. You will also be half an hour late when you go home in the afternoon."
Zhou Boyan frowned. It was still fine in summer as it was still bright at half past six. The sky only became dark at half past eight. However, it would be completely dark at five in winter.
"Why don't you think about buying a bike?"
What Yue Yan didn't dare to tell her mother could be told to Zhou Boyan. "I feel that the bicycle is so ugly, and it's too big. I definitely won't be able to reach the ground if I ride it. It would be great if there wasn't a bar across it. It's best if it's smaller and its color is green or pink… Forget it, I'd better take the public bus. At least I won't get drenched in the rain."
Bicycle designs only became more variable in the 1990s. It was already good enough to have one, but she was still being picky.
If she told her mother this, Wen Hongyu would definitely be willing to buy a bicycle to send her to school every day. Hence, Yue Yan only said that she did not like it.
Zhou Boyan pondered. "Is that so? I'll help you think of a way when I get back."
"It's alright. It's better to take a bus than to live on campus. It would be a real tragedy if I lived on campus, and I still have to tutor my father."
Yue Huaide heard this when he came back from washing the dishes. He blushed. "Don't talk nonsense. I didn't study at all!"
Yue Yan grabbed her father's homework. "Isn't this! Dad, you care too much about your face. Studying is really not something to be ashamed of. Even if you're in your seventies or eighties, you have the right to study. If anyone laughs at you for studying, they'll definitely be jealous of you!"
Yue Huaide chuckled. "I'm just embarrassed. Xiaofei is not an outsider. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if I don't know how to answer when outsiders test me?"
Yue Yan didn't think much of it. "What's so embarrassing about that? The teacher even asks questions in class. My deskmate can't answer every time, but he didn't drop out of school. Learning is learning knowledge that you don't understand to broaden your horizons. Dad, you care too much about others' judgment. You're you. Just be yourself!"
Yue Huaide was extremely touched. His daughter was indeed his little darling. She said all these to give him face.
When she sent Zhou Boyan back, Zhou Boyan mentioned that their gates and their courtyards were too far apart. He had to knock hard or shout every time he knocked.
"I'll go back and find some materials to make a doorbell. I'll install one for your house. You can hear me when you press the doorbell in the future."
Yue Yan was shocked. "The doorbell?"
Why was Brother Xiaofei's thinking so advanced?
Zhou Boyan said regretfully, "My skills are limited, so I can only make a doorbell to signal the guest's arrival. If there are enough materials, I can make an electronic monitor. You can see the person outside the door from inside."
Yue Yan said shakily, "Brother Xiaofei, do you know the next sentence of 'even hold, odd change'?"
Zhou Boyan replied in confusion, "'The sign depends on the quadrant'. It is mentioned in Grade 12 mathematics. Why did you suddenly mention this?"
She had miscalculated and asked a question she shouldn't have asked.
She probed again, "Brother Xiaofei, do you know about the financial crisis?"
Zhou Boyan said, "I roughly know the concept. Your family's business has just started. Don't worry about the financial crisis."
It seemed like she was overthinking. Brother Xiaofei did not look like a transmigrator.
Moreover, he did not show any strange behavior when he ate bingfen and Malatang. It was the first time he had eaten such delicacies.
Yue Yan smiled. "Alright, I'm looking forward to the doorbell."
Zhou Boyan wondered. Why do children change topics so quickly?
The surprise was on Thursday.
After Yue Yan returned home, Zhou Boyan mysteriously knocked on the door and called Yue Yan to his house.
Little Black followed behind Yue Yan and went to look for his brother.
[Aiyo, another little cutie. Come and stick to me.]
With this artificial intelligence at home, he should have gone to Yue Yan's house.
"Look at this bicycle. Is it the style you want?"
There was a bicycle parked in Zhou Boyan's courtyard, but that was not the most important thing.
The bicycle was painted pink and green. It was a faint diluted color. The color was not dreadful, but very youthful instead.
There was no horizontal bar across this bicycle. It was a y-shaped bicycle that was specially designed for women's height.
There was a basket in front. It was a woven bamboo basket. There was a seat for people to sit behind. There was a leather cushion on it.
Yue Yan was so surprised that she did not know what to say.
She also saw that the seat could be raised and lowered. She can ride it even though she was short.
This bicycle made her feel like she had transmigrated to 30 years later.
Yue Yan covered her mouth. She was still very shocked.
Although this kind of bicycle was no longer strange overseas, it was definitely unique in China.
"Where did this come from?!"
[Of course your big brother made it for you personally~]
A faint smile hung on Zhou Boyan's lips. "My skills are rusty, so I can only barely make it like this."
"No! This is not barely at all! This is too awesome. Brother Xiaofei is really amazing!"
Yue Yan really wanted to go up and ride it.
Zhou Boyan could see her anticipation. "Do you want to try?"
Yue Yan nodded heavily. "Yes, I want to try it."
She carefully stepped onto the bicycle. At first, she was a little rusty, but she only got used to it after riding it for a while.
No, her character shouldn't know how to ride a bicycle. How could she be so familiar with it?!
Just as Yue Yan was distracted, Zhou Boyan held onto the front of the bicycle. "Focus. Be careful not to fall."
