With the invoice and household registration book, a license plate was quickly obtained at the police station, and then Shen Xue received her own bicycle registration certificate.
Holding the little booklet in her hand, the woman was as excited as a child. If it weren't for the crowd, she would have hugged Chen Yang and kissed him fiercely.
"Mama, we have a car!"
The milky child danced with joy, even happier than Shen Xue herself.
"Dad, roast chicken, sweet and sour fish, to celebrate Mama getting a bicycle."
Chen Hao looked at his delighted sister and felt it necessary to remind his father.
What if Dad forgot!
"I won't forget, you little glutton."
He pinched his son's little face. This little guy was always thinking about food. He really hoped he wouldn't become a little fatty in the future.
Riding the bicycle, after buying a roast chicken and a bag of peanuts in paper at the state-run hotel, Chen Yang hung the two tightly wrapped paper bags on the handlebars, taking his wife and children home while humming a tune.
"Jingle jingle."
As soon as they entered the village entrance, someone immediately spotted Chen Yang's family riding a bicycle.
Immediately, a crowd of people ran out to look at the bicycle. Bicycles were rare items in those days, and everyone was curious and lively.
"It's Shen Xue's family. Why didn't they buy a double-bar frame? This bike looks good, but it's too small."
"You fool, what do you know? Small ones are easier to ride. Look at Chen Yang's little seat, isn't it more comfortable for the child than sitting on the bar?"
The villagers gathered around Chen Yang's family, discussing animatedly. They were envious too.
Who wouldn't want to buy a bicycle if they had money?
"You guys are right, the bell sounds very clear and pleasant to listen to."
Chen Yang was surrounded and couldn't even ride. He could only ring the bell, but surprisingly, no one from the villagers cleared the way; they were all gathered to watch.
Chen Yang found it both funny and helpless. He had to stop the car, then let Shen Xue and the children get off, and let the villagers have a good look.
"This bike was bought for the child's mother, so I bought a women's 26-inch bicycle. The child's mother is not yet proficient at riding, so I rode it back."
"Yanyan, Haohao, say hello. These are Grandpa, Grandma..."
Chen Yang explained and introduced the children to the villagers. They were all from the same village, with some connections. Many were from the same clan as the father-in-law, so even if they were five generations apart, they were still familiar.
Chen Hao was a bit timid. Chen Yang took this opportunity to help Chen Hao gradually build courage through more interaction with people.
The milky child was not afraid of the scene at all. He called everyone grandpa, grandma, uncles, and aunties, making everyone laugh heartily. Who could refuse such a cute little milky child?
With the milky child leading the way, Chen Hao slowly started to speak as well.
No one deliberately asked about Chen Hao's matters. Everyone understood clearly. Since Chen Yang said they were his children, no one would ask probing questions in front of the children.
After letting everyone admire the bike for a full five minutes, Chen Yang finally rode the bicycle home.
But before he could put down the roast chicken and peanuts, Shen Fuguo rushed into his yard.
"Yangzi, quickly, quickly! Director Liu will personally bring technicians to our village soon."
"I heard that Secretary Chen requested the technicians from the city. I'm a coarse person and don't understand your scholarly matters. You're an educated youth; help the village host them."
"And raising fish in our wild pond and rice fish in the paddy fields, I don't have a clear plan for these matters, and it all depends on you."
Shen Fuguo looked anxious. This matter not only concerned Shenjiaba Village but also the future prosperity of the entire Shenjiada Brigade.
As the party secretary of the brigade, how could he not be anxious?
But he himself only had a vague understanding of these matters and feared ruining a good thing. So, he could only count on Chen Yang, the cultured man who proposed the profitable idea.
"Dad, I'll make the sweet and sour fish. You hurry and pick up the technicians."
"If they can really train us in fish farming techniques, the villagers will have a good life."
"You are a capable person, and I am proud of you."
"Leave the household chores to me. When the technicians arrive later, bring them home for dinner. We will entertain them properly."
Shen Xue parked the bicycle and signaled Chen Yang to go with Shen Fuguo to pick up the technicians. Su Dan Fiction Network
Chen Yang was her pride now. Being able to lead all the villagers to make money was a great thing. She and the children would absolutely support Chen Yang.
"Xue Yatou, you are indeed sensible. I thank you on behalf of the villagers."
"If this matter is done successfully, the villagers will have a better life in the future."
Shen Fuguo was excited. His greatest wish in life was to lead all the villagers of Shenjiada Brigade to have enough to eat and live a good life.
"Old Party Secretary, let's go to the village entrance to welcome them."
"The technicians will probably have to stay in our village from now on. We cannot neglect them in terms of food, clothing, and accommodation."
Chen Yang had always attached importance to technicians. In his previous life, the salary and promotion speed of his technical staff were always higher than those of management.
For top high-tech talents, he would even grant them shares and dividends.
In this era, technicians in any field were very scarce, so he paid even more attention to this technician from the city.
"Yangzi, don't worry. We still have a room in the brigade headquarters. We'll ask Cripple to build a new bed, and the villagers will chip in to make a new quilt for him."
"As for meals, the village will definitely ensure the technician doesn't go hungry. We'll arrange the technician's meals from the grain reserve in the team's warehouse."
"Since you borrowed the team's donkey these days, the team has saved a lot of money. I'll cut him meat once every half a month. I guarantee he'll eat better than this old geezer."
Shen Fuguo patted his chest and promised. He wasn't foolish. The prosperity of Shenjiaba Village depended on this technician comrade.
"Old Party Secretary, no one can fault your arrangements."
"Our village conditions are not bad. Once the fish are raised, the pond mud cleaned annually will be good fertilizer."
"When we have more grain, every household can raise livestock. The manure from the livestock can be used to fertilize the fish, or to fertilize the fields."
"And our back mountain, the old forest hides many treasures. In the future, Old Master Tu will lead us into the mountains to search."
"If there are any local medicinal herbs, these can be sold to increase the villagers' income."
The reform and opening up was about to begin. Next year, following Xiaogang Village's household contract responsibility system, with the development of the private economy, everyone would find ways to make money.
At that time, the things around Shenjiaba Village would become resources for the villagers to get rich.
As they spoke, the two arrived at the village entrance. Shen Fuguo was full of spirit at this moment.
If things really went as Chen Yang said, the villagers would have a good life in the future.
He, Shen Fuguo, had never admired many people in his life, but this young man, Chen Yang, truly earned his respect.
"Old Shen, let me introduce you. This is the technician from the city, Zhou Jingqiu!"
Not long after the two arrived at the village entrance, Liu Fuchun led a young woman in a grass-green military uniform, riding a bicycle, to the village entrance!
