Chapter 65 The 28-inch bicycle!
She couldn't help but blink.

Bicycles were extremely rare in the 1980s. You couldn't buy one with industrial coupons; you needed a special bicycle ticket. They weren't cheap either, and ordinary families couldn't afford them.

Even for families of cadres, it wasn't always possible to buy a bicycle. Those who could afford bicycles usually bought them collectively by their work units as an important means of transportation.

"Whose car is this?" Wen Ci asked curiously.

This was the first time she had ever seen a 28-inch bicycle, which was much taller than ordinary bicycles in later generations, and its shiny black paint looked like it was plated with gold in the sunlight.

The guard in the guardhouse was a soldier whom Wen Ci had never seen before.

He glanced at Wen Ci, whose young face was extremely dignified. He held a gun in his hand and stood ramrod straight. He said, "Commander Huo's bicycle."

"what?"

Wen Ci suddenly remembered that on the old green train, Huo Jingyuan had said he would make up for the lack of proper dowry for her marriage: "three turns and one sound" (referring to a set of three turns and a radio).

At the time, Wen Ci didn't think much of it; the dowry of "three turns and one sound" (referring to a set of three items and one watch) demanded by the Northwest Military Region was useless. She didn't know how to use a sewing machine, and the Northwest Military Region wasn't very big either; it took her several minutes to walk there.

Riding a 28-inch bicycle is too flashy.

As for watches, clocks are used at home or in hospitals.

Wen Ci gasped, and upon hearing the man's steady footsteps, she raised her head and stared intently at him.

Huo Jingyuan was slightly taken aback when he saw Wen Ci. He knew that Wen Ci had gone to Haishi and planned to hide the bicycle in his house to give her a surprise.

result……

Huo Jingyuan looked at Wen Ci, his eyes softening with tenderness, and asked in a deep voice, "Didn't you go to Haishi? Why are you back?"

"The bus wheel is broken."

The new recruits in the guard room stared blankly at Huo Jingyuan.

What merit or ability did he possess to meet such a gentle-speaking Yama, the living devil?!
"Did you buy it?" Wen Ci asked.

"A surprise for you." Suddenly, an untimely cough rang out in the guard room. Wen Ci suddenly realized she was still outside, and her face instantly flushed.

Huo Jingyuan glanced at the person without showing any emotion.

Can you ride it?

Wen Ci shook his head: "I should know a little."

She can ride a bicycle. Before the apocalypse, she rode a shared bicycle to school every day. She might not be used to the high seat of the old-fashioned bicycle.

"I'll take you back."

Huo Jingyuan walked to the bicycle, put away the kickstand, held the handlebars with both hands, put his right foot on the pedal, and sat on the bicycle seat.

The man's long, straight left leg was on the ground. He patted the horizontal bar in front of him with his large hand, his eyelids slightly lowered, and said unhurriedly, "Sit on."

Wen Ci blushed. The gate of the family compound was at most a three-minute walk from her home, so there was no need for Huo Jingyuan to take her back on his bicycle.

Besides, they could have sat in the back seat.

But that scoundrel of a man insisted on sitting in the front bumper.

Have you forgotten how hard you worked yourself to the bone last night?
At this moment, several men dressed in dark green military uniforms, carrying notebooks, walked to the guard room and greeted Huo Jingyuan: "Commander Huo."

The smile in Huo Jingyuan's eyes gradually faded, his expression becoming flat and devoid of any emotion. He nodded: "Is this a meeting?"

"Let's hold a meeting for the new family members in the residential compound."

Immediately, their gazes fell on the beautiful Wen Ci standing to the side. As a soldier in the family affairs office, she had known about Huo Jingyuan's marriage for a long time.

The group, knowing the answer, asked, "And who is this?"
