Chapter 61 Well begun is half done

Moreover, judging from the purchasing behavior of people in the red envelope group, they are probably not people of this generation, otherwise they would not spend one dollar to buy a handkerchief without blinking an eye.

Gu Wan hasn’t figured out the specific rules yet, but don’t be afraid, just take your time.

A good start is half the success. Gu Wan is becoming more and more confident about life in this era.

Then when Gu Wan went to work again the next day, he had to rack his brains to make the best possible lunch.

There are many varieties of dishes with little oil, and each dish looks delicious. The other deputy secretary, who originally planned to go back for lunch, also stayed in the small kitchen.

He is only the deputy secretary in terms of position, but his surname is Zheng, so everyone still calls him Secretary Zheng.

Secretary Zheng is almost at retirement age, and Secretary Zhao is not a stingy person, so so far the two top leaders of Yongfeng Commune have been getting along quite well.

This harmonious atmosphere reached its climax after Secretary Zhao, against all odds, set up a small kitchen and hired Comrade Gu Wan, who had excellent cooking skills.

At noon on the second day after Gu Wan started working in the small kitchen, Secretary Zheng not only stayed for lunch himself, but also asked their wife to bring a lunch box over.

Secretary Zheng's children are all very successful and have jobs outside, so there are only him and his wife at home.

"Comrade Xiao Gu, don't worry, I won't take too much. I'm old and don't eat much anyway, so the other half of the lunch will be shared with my wife."

Secretary Zheng and his wife are both veteran revolutionaries. Due to their limited family background and low education level, they did not go very far back then, but their loyalty to the revolution is unparalleled.

According to Comrade Ma, Secretary Zheng was reluctant to let his wife be busy eating alone at home, so now that there was a small kitchen, he decided to come over to eat together.

It’s really not that I’m attracted by Comrade Xiao Gu’s cooking skills. Anyway, neither of us eats much, really not much.

At noon, the two of them each finished two large bowls of rice and two large portions of food, that's all.

"Comrade Xiao Gu, rest assured. Secretary Zheng is not the type to take advantage of others. He gave us a meal ticket."

The leader is very lovely. Gu Wan feels very happy working here.

Then after lunch and cleaning up the small kitchen, Gu Wan was about to go home from get off work when she saw Qi Bin pushing a bicycle that was about 80% new over here.

This is a good thing. Since coming here, Gu Wan has ridden in cars and ox carts, but this is the first time he has seen an acquaintance own a bicycle.

After asking, I found out that Qi Bin also asked his friends here to help him get one, mainly because it is more convenient to have a bicycle when going out in the countryside.

Qi Bin invited Gu Wan to ride his bike with him to the county town. They had been there before, but they had taken the team's ox cart to purchase things for their respective tasks.

It’s different if you have a bicycle, it’s more convenient and much cooler.

Of course, Qi Bin was purely pursuing girls, and this was taught to him by his friends.

Having a bicycle means you have good physical conditions, and if you invite a girl to go for a ride, she will definitely not refuse.

Gu Wan forgot all these things for a moment. You have to know that in this era, men and women should be careful about their gender separation. It is not a good idea for a single man and a single woman to ride a bicycle together.

It was just a temporary forgetfulness that he didn't care about, and Gu Wan was very excited to ride his bike to give Qi Bin a ride.

If Qi Bin gave her a ride, people might gossip about her, but if it was Qi Bin who gave her a ride, no one would say anything, right?
Qi Bin: …………

"Comrade Gu, can you ride a bike?"

"Why not?" Gu Wan made up a story: "When I was studying in the provincial capital, I rode a classmate's bicycle."

In fact, the Qin family in the compound has a bicycle, but this thing is usually owned by Qin's father, so the original owner can only look at it. In fact, Qi Bin was a little worried, but he had seen it in the Gu family, and Gu Wan was very strong.

Even if this is a 28-inch bicycle, well, it should be okay for her to carry him, right?

Indeed, although the car was shaky, Gu Wan rode it safely along the way.

It was faster than taking the ox cart before, and they reached the county town in a shorter time.

It was only after arriving at the county town that Gu Wan realized that maybe Qi Bin had planned it?

Because they rode their bike directly to the entrance of the cinema. According to Qi Bin, a friend just happened to give him two movie tickets and it would be a waste if he didn't watch the movie.

Well, Gu Wan hasn’t seen any movies from this era, and they’re pretty good.

After parking the bicycle, I went into the cinema with Qi Bin to watch a movie. It turned out that Qi Bin was fully prepared.

There is a special service center outside the cinema that sells snacks such as roasted sweet potatoes, and Qi Bin also bought some.

No need to ask more, just ask what your friends suggest.

Gu Wan was truly moved. She also wanted to have a dozen friends like this who were knowledgeable, wealthy, and had a lot of free time.

After watching the movie, Gu Wan burst into tears. She didn't want to watch this kind of movie projected on a large screen in pure black and white with extremely unclear images for the second time in her lifetime.

And while watching the movie, she couldn't help but crack a lot of melon seeds, and now her mouth is a little dry.

At this time, Gu Wan missed the Internet era of later generations very much.

Although she now carries an iPhone 12 with her, she cannot use the internet or do anything else, and has to go to bed after dark every day.

When the two finished watching the movie and walked out of the cinema together, Qi Bin pushed the bicycle and Gu Wan walked beside him.

Qi Bin racked his brains to find a topic to talk about, but he didn't know what to say. Suddenly, a clear female voice shouted from behind him:

"Brother Qi."

At first, Qi Bin didn't take it seriously and didn't think that someone was greeting him.

As a result, the sound rang again, coming from far away and getting closer. A little girl with two pigtails stood directly in front of them.

"Brother Qi, I'm calling you, why are you ignoring me?"

Qi Bin was completely confused. Who was this person?
"Brother Qi, don't you remember me?" Wang Xiuxiu stepped forward and introduced herself generously: "I'm Wang Xiuxiu. You've had dinner at my house, remember?"

Gu Wan narrowed his eyes. What was going on?
Qi Bin then remembered that his so-called friend was a comrade-in-arms who was assigned to the local county town after retiring from the army, and that he got the bicycle with the help of his comrade-in-arms.

But he didn't remember having any private contact with Comrade Wang Xiuxiu, and Qi Bin hadn't spoken yet.

Wang Xiuxiu took the initiative to introduce herself. She not only said her name and age, but also said that she was a glorious primary school teacher.

While speaking, Wang Xiuxiu's eyes were always looking at Gu Wan with a condescending look.

Gu Wan was not happy, so she pulled the bicycle over and said to Qi Bin sternly, "Get on, I'll take you home."
