Chapter 307: Chapter 306: Bragging Second Uncle (2nd Update)

Xu Niannian simply couldn’t understand Xu Erhong’s mindset since she wasn’t from this era.

She had lived in an era where shared bicycles were commonplace, so to her, even the best brands of bicycle were just a means of transport.

"Second Uncle, you should put it down, it’s tiring to carry, and the bike is not light. Besides, bikes are meant to be ridden on the ground."

At first, Xu Erhong refused to agree and insisted on carrying it, but Xu Niannian finally persuaded him after much coaxing.

Next, Xu Erhong did something that completely shocked Xu Niannian.

Halfway down the road, Xu Erhong suddenly stopped, instructing Xu Zhiqiang to pull the bicycle while he ran onto the ridges, shouting to the villagers working in the fields.

"Old Master Wang, Uncle Li, Er Gouzi, come and give me a hand," he said in an urgent tone.

Old Master Wang and the others immediately put down their hoes and rushed over to ask what was wrong.

Xu Erhong immediately put on a distressed and rushed look: "Ah, my big niece, that disobedient girl, bought me a Phoenix brand bicycle in the county town, and I can’t lift it by myself. You guys, hurry up and help me."

Old Master Wang was shocked: "What did you say? A Phoenix brand bicycle?"

Xu Erhong put on a helpless expression: "Isn’t it? I’m telling you, that girl Niannian really, I told her not to buy it, but she insisted on getting me one. And if she had to buy one, she even went for the Phoenix brand, what a waste of money. I’m saying, these young people are just so extravagant and wasteful, buying what bicycles..."

Though he said this, anyone with eyes could see the smile Xu Erhong was struggling to suppress.

Er Gouzi’s face was filled with envy, and so was Uncle Li’s admiration.

Because Xu Erhong spoke so loudly, it was difficult for Xu Niannian and the others not to overhear.

Xu Erhong pointed a hand towards them and said: "Quit the chatter and come help me lift the bike."

So, three or four men ran over and carefully carried a bicycle, walking from one end of the village to the other, and even took a detour around the fields before heading home.

Xu Niannian was both amused and exasperated.

Her Second Uncle was hilarious.

Imagine four or five grown men lifting a bicycle, with the group growing larger and larger.

After carrying it for just a few minutes, someone else said, "You must be tired, don’t work too hard, let me carry it, I’m strong."

Xu Niannian and Xu Sisi laughed from the beginning to the end, their mouths never closing, almost laughing until they were out of breath.

After all the commotion, the entire village knew that Xu Niannian had bought Xu Erhong a Phoenix brand bicycle.

Not only that, every time he saw someone and they asked, Xu Erhong would say Xu Niannian also bought one for his daughter, but it was left in the county town and not brought back yet.

The villagers were green with envy at the thought. What an amazing niece she was.

A bicycle was a rare commodity, and to just buy it like that, and not just any brand but a Phoenix brand, and to purchase two at that.

The Xu Family was truly blessed to have such an accomplished niece.

Not only did she build a factory, but she also built Xu Erhong a brick and tile house. Where could you find such a wonderful niece?

Falling into fortune because of such a niece, it was like the entire family was ascending to heaven.

On their way back, Xu Niannian received praise from every villager she met.

Xu Erhong was basking in pride all along the way.

Before even arriving home, the old lady of the house and Liu Guimei had already heard that Xu Niannian had bought Xu Erhong a bicycle.

Both anxiously waited at the door, and from afar they could see a grand procession of people heading their way, with the old lady squinting and beaming with joy.

Liu Guimei also smiled along.

Once home, Xu Erhong, ever so generous, invited those who had helped carry the bike to a meal in his home.

Eager to boast about his niece, Xu Erhong asked Liu Guimei to cook rice to entertain them.

Even before they started eating, the fragrance of the rice wafting from the kitchen made the villagers’ mouths water with envy.

It seemed that Xu Family was indeed on the rise, the good fortune affecting the whole family.

To be able to have rice on such short notice, and not only for their own family but to share with others, demonstrated that, indeed, they were not short on money.

Some even wanted to politely decline: "Erhong, don’t trouble yourself, this rice is precious, we don’t dare to eat casually. There are so many of us, we would hate to finish all your rice, feeling guilty."

Xu Erhong waved generously: "Ah, it’s alright, we have plenty of rice at home. Ever since my niece started her business and earned money, our family has never been short of rice to eat."

Hearing this, the group of villagers felt envious and wished the same luck for themselves.

Xu Niannian and Xu Sisi stayed inside the room, and hearing Xu Erhong’s boastful words outside, they laughed so hard they couldn’t straighten their backs.

Xu Sisi laughed so hard her stomach hurt, "Oh my God, Sister Niannian, my dad is hilarious. I’ve never seen anyone funnier than him."

Xu Niannian was also thunderstruck by her uncle’s antics, she laughed until tears came out.

Especially when she thought about him running to the ridge to tell those elders that he couldn’t lift the bicycle and needed help, she was beside herself with laughter.

They hadn’t finished laughing yet when the old lady entered the room.

Seeing her precious granddaughter and Little Black Sister laughing together, she cleared her throat loudly.

Xu Niannian hurriedly got up and helped the elderly lady, "Grandma, you’re here. Please have a seat." The smile had not yet left her eyes.

The old lady hummed in response, and Xu Sisi, oblivious as ever, saw Xu Niannian help the old lady and still managed to joke.

"Sister Niannian, you don’t need to help, Grandma’s full of vigor. Just a few days ago, to whack me with a stick, she chased me from one end of the village to the other. She’s so energetic, I’ve never seen another old lady with such nimble legs."

"Pfft..." Xu Niannian burst out laughing.

The old lady took off her shoe to smack Xu Sisi, who cried out in scared protest, "Ah, Grandma, I was wrong."

"Grandma, don’t be angry," Xu Niannian said with a laugh, "Sisi just can’t hold her tongue."

Xu Sisi was not pleased, feeling she had spoken nothing but the truth, but seeing the shoe the old lady was still holding, she didn’t dare to speak up.

Xu Niannian went over and playfully poked her forehead, "You, really."

The old lady was finally satisfied and told Xu Niannian and Xu Sisi to go outside.

Outside, Xu Niannian asked the old lady, "Grandma, what are you doing?"

The old lady pursed her lips and looked towards the bicycle in the yard, her intention couldn’t be clearer.

Before Xu Niannian could speak, Xu Sisi said, "Oh no, Grandma, don’t even think about it. Even if you’re agile, you can’t ride it. What if you fall and hurt yourself?"

The old lady, irritated, slapped Xu Sisi on the back, "You little Black Coal Ball, what are you talking about? Grandma just thinks the light here isn’t good enough. You guys push it out to the road so I can have a good look."

The light isn’t good?

Xu Niannian looked up at the sky, the blue sky and white clouds, the scenery was beautiful and Mr. Sun was enthusiastically spreading his light.

She really couldn’t tell where the light was bad.

Almost instantly, Xu Niannian understood what the old lady was up to.

Resigned but amused, she pushed the bicycle out of the yard, with the old lady following meticulously, and indeed, her legs were quite nimble.

They pushed the bicycle up and down the village, except this time, the one showing off was the old lady.

Xu Niannian had become numb to it.

Seizing the opportunity, Xu Niannian also took a look at the factory building.

On their way there, Xu Erhong told her that the factory building was completely finished, including the inside, and they even painted it white.

In front of the factory, there was an area left open, not too big, not too small, where Xu Erhong planned to build his house.

Five large tile-roofed rooms, shining brightly in front of them.

Only, the tile-roofed house was not yet finished.

Approaching, Xu Niannian heard someone talking.

"Xu Erhong’s home really struck it rich this time thanks to his grandniece, building five big tile-roofed rooms. Even the village head’s family hasn’t built one yet."

Before Xu Niannian made her fortune, the richest person in Qingshan Village was the village head, Xu Aiguo, as his wife came from a reasonably well-off family.

The speaker hadn’t noticed Xu Niannian and the others approaching.

It was Aunt Wang, who was following the excitement, who called out, "Cuicui’s mom, what are you doing over there?"

Cuicui’s mom then raised her head and saw Xu Niannian and the others pushing the bicycle.

She ran over enthusiastically to exchange greetings and catch up.

Xu Niannian politely responded to each greeting.

If it weren’t for the fact that she couldn’t ride the bicycle, the old lady would’ve really liked to ride the flashy bike around the village.

It made her feel incredibly proud.

After all, it was her beloved Xu family who bought it, a Phoenix brand, brand new, 150 per bicycle.

Which family’s girl could be so capable?
