Reborn in 1985, starting from the mountains of Northwest China

After accepting the money, Chen Feng took out the ledger that had been used to record the debts and tore out the pages with Lin Bei's details.

In front of Lin Xi, he tore it to shreds.

He hadn't expected the other party to return the money, but he actually managed to get back more than sixty yuan, so the matter ended there.

Otherwise, if he keeps pressing for the money and won't budge, it will only put his wife, Lin Xiu, in a difficult position!

Lin Xiu, who was standing to the side, also breathed a sigh of relief. She felt that Chen Feng was becoming more and more like the head of the family.

Chen Feng handed the money directly to Lin Xiu: "Keep the money safe. You've always managed the family's money, so I trust you."

Lin Xiu pouted, a smile playing on her lips, and cheerfully went back to the inner room to continue her housework.

Chen Feng told Lin Xi in detail about the bonus that Director Yang was going to give out and the bicycle that Mayor Wei was going to reward him with.

Lin Xi had put in a lot of effort this time, and now that the benefits were coming, he certainly couldn't forget her. However, he definitely needed the bicycle himself, so he'd let Lin Xi keep 200 of the 300 yuan.

Even though they are relatives, you shouldn't take advantage of others for no reason.

But when Lin Xi heard Chen Feng's distribution plan, she shook her head vigorously and refused, saying that she would never agree to such a distribution.

It wasn't that he felt he hadn't received enough, but rather that Chen Feng had given him far too much!

Others may not know the situation, but how could he not know? If it weren't for Chen Feng's intervention several times to avert danger, he might have lost his life on the mountain, let alone rescued anyone.

"If you still consider me your brother-in-law, then you have to accept this money! Otherwise, we can't work together anymore!"

Chen Feng deliberately said something harsh: although Lin Xi hadn't contributed much this time, she still deserved her due compensation.

Hunters who regularly went up the mountain together had a fixed profit-sharing ratio.

When people help each other a lot, it's often not something that can be measured by the amount of contribution alone.

After much arguing, Lin Xi finally agreed to accept 100 yuan this time, with the amount to be determined based on the situation when they went up the mountain again later.

Although the two of them seemed to be arguing fiercely, Lin Xi was secretly pleased. Her brother-in-law really knew how to handle people!

Not only does he know how to behave appropriately, but he also cares for his younger sister. Most importantly, he can maintain a clear understanding of the situation even when faced with personal gain.

Lin Xiu found it somewhat amusing to watch her husband and brother "arguing" like that, and called out to them, "The noodles are ready, come and eat."

Chen Feng's appetite was greatly stimulated. He had loved eating noodles since he was a child. A few years ago, when he went to the south, he ate rice every day and lost several pounds!

Lin Xiu made oil-splashed noodles today. The soy sauce and chili sauce on the noodles were released into the aroma by the hot oil, making them especially delicious with rice.

Chen Feng held the enamel bowl, stirred the noodles with chopsticks, and then squatted on the stool to eat them heartily.

Seeing this, Lin Xi also imitated it, and eating noodles while squatting was indeed more delicious than eating while sitting!

After eating and drinking his fill, Chen Feng prepared to go to town to retrieve his bicycle.

This will be a huge help to me. It will make transporting goods much more convenient in the future, and I can also take Lin Xiu for a drive on the road.

Who doesn't have a beautiful wife in the back seat?

……

Chen Feng walked to the town government gate. This two-story building, which looked rather ordinary from the outside, housed almost all the town's government agencies.

Apart from the police station, all other units are crammed into this office space.

He politely asked the old man guarding the gate, "Do you know where Mayor Wei's office is?"

The old man, who had been dozing off, was wide awake after hearing Chen Feng's words. He looked at Chen Feng suspiciously. This young man looked like a farmer. Could he be here to cause trouble?

"What are you doing? He's very busy; he can't take you there without an appointment!"

"I'm here to receive a reward. Mayor Wei said this morning that he would be giving me a bicycle as a reward."

Chen Feng recounted the whole story. He didn't want any misunderstandings over this. It was just a matter of saying a few words, and there was no need to hold a grudge.

After listening to Chen Feng's words, the old man realized that he had been looking down on people. The way the young man spoke was almost exactly the same as those leaders.

Polite and courteous, yet with an undeniable air of confidence!

"Young man, I'll take you there right away." The old man led Chen Feng to the door of Mayor Wei's office with great enthusiasm.

Chen Feng knocked lightly on the door a few times, and a voice came from inside: "Come in."

When he pushed the door open and went inside, he found that the person working there was not the one he had seen that morning, but someone else. He froze on the spot.

"Chen Feng, right? Old Wei has already given instructions. Take this note to the finance office on the first floor, and they will take you there."

After taking the note, Chen Feng thanked the person profusely before leaving the office.

This time, he realized he lacked experience. If the other party hadn't been so meticulous and approved the note in advance, he would have made a wasted trip.

Everything went smoothly after that. The staff led him to a row of Phoenix brand bicycles and said:

"These cars are all newly arrived. Take your pick and choose whichever one you like. Once you've decided, go to the finance office to sign a receipt, and the car is yours!"

Chen Feng nodded. Since they were all the same, he chose the one on the far left to save them the trouble of rearranging them.

The staff looked at Chen Feng with envy. This man was about the same age as them, yet he was already so capable.

He didn't know when he would be able to buy a bicycle, so why did he ask Mayor Wei to give him one?

He wouldn't dare to mess with that tightwad!

Chen Feng rode his brand-new 28-inch bicycle with increasing vigor, eventually standing up to pedal.

The winter wind howled in his ears, but he didn't feel cold at all; instead, he felt even warmer.

The village women chatting at the entrance stared intently at Chen Feng as he returned.

These days, bicycles are a rare commodity! Not many families in the village can afford one, especially the one Chen Feng rides, which looks much better than the others!

It's probably a brand name product!

"That Chen kid is really something! No wonder he's been out there making his way in the world. He's only been back a few days, and he's already going up the mountain and buying a bicycle!"

Aunt Li said with some envy, but Aunt Zhao sitting next to her was not happy.

"Look at how extravagant he is! He's only been back a few days and he's already spending all his money! He'll squander it all sooner or later!"

"Why can't you stand to see others do well?" Aunt Li retorted unhappily. "Just because your own child isn't doing well doesn't mean all young people have to be like your son!"

Aunt Zhao, her sore spot touched, flew into a rage: "So what if Chen Feng saved your son? And you're already defending him like this. It's a good thing you don't have a daughter, otherwise I reckon you'd have to send her away as a concubine!"

"You're talking nonsense! Everyone's like your man, enjoying having affairs outside the marriage!"

Once again, Zhao Da Niang stood up, spitting everywhere: "Li Xiujuan, I'll tear your mouth apart! It's your old man who likes to go looking for vixens outside!"
