The sun hangs obliquely in the sky to the east, red and the light is particularly soft. The morning wind blows on your body, bringing a wave of coolness and refreshing.

Although it had just rained yesterday, there was no mud on the road, which was easier to walk than when it was clear. This is the benefit of the sand, and the water seeped quickly.

Xu Ping rode on the tricycle, gently holding the handlebar, looking straight ahead, humming a small song that he didn't know his name, and was in a happy mood.

Behind him are Gao Daquan and Sun Qilang.

The two were coolies specially found by Xu Ping, who were responsible for pedaling. In this era, there were no cement roads and asphalt roads. It was too difficult to pedal the tricycle. Xu Ping could not do it himself, so he separated the pedaler driver from the handlebar driver. Moreover, the car did not use gear chains, because Xu Ping could not make the chain now, so he had no choice but to use a connecting rod mechanism. In order to ensure smooth transmission, the connecting rod mechanism had to be added, which was like the wheel of a train. It was difficult to start, and it was not that he could not do it with great strength. Of course, after running, it became easier again.

Fortunately, the rotation part of the car uses ball bearings, lubricated with castor oil, and sealed with felt, which saves a lot of effort. For these two big men who are used to farm work, it is also easy to operate.

When it comes to bearings, Xu Ping sighed. He had read the collection of "Civilized Bearings", but when he wanted to make them himself, he found that the book was basically useless. Most of them rely on the unripe industrial system at that time, and some were basically useless and completely useless. Xu Ping basically started from scratch, made it with the tool steel of hand-crank lathe tool and fixing fixtures, and the contents mentioned in the collection were basically thrown away.

That special era was not only full of prosperity, but also full of this kind of waste that was rushing towards people, which made people sigh.

After walking for more than half an hour, the sun rose, and Sun Qilang's forehead was slightly sweaty. Seeing Xu Ping holding the car easily and comfortably, he said sourly: "The official is so energetic!"

Xu Ping said proudly: "Qilang, do you think I'm relaxed here?"

Sun Qilang said: "What is the identity of an official? It is necessary to be relaxed!"

Xu Ping smiled and shook his head: "No, no, you don't understand. I am sitting here. I have never heard of a word? If you want the car to run fast, you can only take the front of the car! Although you are really tired, I can barely make it. You look relaxed here, but you can't make it. You will run into the ditch in a moment! Qilang, do you believe it or not?"

Not only did Sun Qilang not believe this, but Gao Daquan, who did not speak, did not believe this.

Xu Ping was very sure. These two big men had never even ridden a bicycle, so where could they run straight into the tricycle? They had to practice it.

Xu Ping also knew that the two of them didn't believe it, so he said, "Since they didn't believe it, then just do it. He picked my parents back from the town and went to the village to ask you two to try it. It would be successful or not."

Sun Qilang and Gao Daquan looked at each other and smiled. The car also helped Xu Ping try it several times. The two had long been jealous of the position of the front of the car. He and Xu Ping regarded this car as a treasure and did not allow anyone to touch it. The two had no chance.

There were two big men who used power, and the tricycle ran faster than Xu Ping's bad horse. It took less than an hour to arrive in Baisha Town.

People in the town have never seen such strange cars, and they all stood by the roadside and watched strange things. They recognized this as a small official from the Xu family restaurant and greeted him laughing.

There were many idle people in the Song Dynasty, which became a topic of conversation when they were bored.

After a while, he arrived in front of the Xu family restaurant. Liu Xiaoyi came up and continued, saying, "The little official came this time. This car is particularly exciting. If it is placed in front of the restaurant, there will be a lot of business!"

Xu Ping said: "Brother Xiao Yi was joking! Where is my parents?"

"Mrs. I've asked a few times, because it was a small official who said he would come to pick me up and would not let me see me off. My wife was already a little anxious. I went in and sent her a message."

Liu Xiaoyi said as he walked quickly into the restaurant.

Xu Ping said: "I won't go in anymore and wait here. Wait for a while. When the sun rises, the weather will be hot, and it's hard to walk on the road."

Not long after, Xu Zheng and Zhang Sanniang walked out of the restaurant. Liu Xiaoyi's hand was full of gifts to celebrate Lin Wensi's birthday. Recently, a new supervisor named Lu Pan in the wine shop was hired, who was the supervisor of a restaurant in Zhengzhou. The restaurant went bankrupt and arrived here. With this person, Xu Zheng didn't have to spend it in the wine shop every day.

Zhang Sanniang walked quickly to the front of the car. Xu Ping and Sun Qilang came up to see the gift. Zhang Sanniang walked around the car and said, "My son has grown up and is becoming more and more sensible. I'm doing such a thing to respect my parents!"

She could not see any tricks, and she didn't have the heart to see them. All she thought about was that her son was no longer as good as before. Now she knew that she would take the initiative to make her happy, which was more important than anything else.

Xu Zheng walked over slowly, with sharp eyes. He saw that many parts of the car had brass pieces attached to decorations, especially the two seats on the top, which were decorated with brass, and the golden light was dazzling.

After looking at it for a while, Xu Zheng slowly spoke: "Dalang, how much does this car cost?"

After hearing this, Zhang Sanniang glared at him and said, "Old man, this is my son's filial piety! How much money can I get in exchange for it! It's really unlucky if you keep the word "money"!"

Xu Zheng smiled and stopped talking. Liu Xiaoyi and Xu Ping helped him. The old couple got on the car and sat down on the two golden shining seats.

A spring was used under the seat. The old couple went up and were flashed. They looked at each other and didn't say anything. They didn't know what this meant, whether it was good or bad, and they just didn't know how to discourage their son's excitement.

After bringing all the gifts into the car, Xu Ping and Sun Qilang all came to their original positions.

Xu Ping shouted: "Get up!"

Gao Daquan and Sun Qilang used their strength together, and the tricycle slowly started to move.

The neighbors around all came out to see it and greeted Xu Zheng and his wife.

Xu Zheng and his wife sat high in the car, giving gifts one by one, which felt quite energetic.

After a while, the car left Baisha Town and walked on the small road back to the village.

After walking for a while, Zhang Sanniang couldn't help but say, "This car is really smooth. I used to ride a ox cart, but it was bumpy when I walked this road. Today I couldn't feel it at all!"

Xu Ping smiled and said, "That's the child's filial piety to his parents. He used a spring under the seat. No matter how bumpy you are, you can't feel it."

Zhang Sanniang and Xu Zheng just laughed happily after hearing this and watched the scenery on the roadside together.

Along the way, Xu Zheng and his wife couldn't feel the passage of time. In just a blink of an eye, they arrived in front of their own countryside.

Zhang Sanniang was in a good mood and said to Xu Ping: "Don't go into the village, just go directly to the door of Lin Xiucai. Today is his thirty-three birthday, so I wish him a birthday first."

After hearing this, Xu Ping turned the handlebars and rode all the way to the Lin family.

There were also a few chickens and geese in front of the Lin family, just for decorating the scenery. There were so many things raised in Xuping Village that could not be finished. Su'er was feeding chickens in front of the door. When she saw Xu Ping and her party coming, she exclaimed: "This is how this car was used, I didn't expect it before!"

When he saw him, Su Er said, "The official and his wife are waiting for a while. My officials and wife are in the hall. I'll go in and communicate with each other!"

After saying that, he turned around and entered the yard.

Zhang Sanniang was helped out by her son and stretched: "This car is comfortable to sit! Official, do you think so?"

Xu Zheng nodded with a smile.

Zhang Sanniang usually called old man Xu Zheng so smoothly. When she arrived at Lin Wensi, she also honestly changed her words and called him an official.

The old man's husband and wife are spoken by the lower class now. Lin Wensi is a serious scholar, but he can't hear this. Zhang Sanniang has always respected her in-laws and always pays attention to him.

After a few words, Lin Wensi took Lin Suniang and Suer out of the yard. After both sides had seen the ceremony, Lin Wensi said, "I'll bother my in-laws to come here from a distance."

Zhang Sanniang said: "Since the scholar set up this house, this is the first time that we are here for the first time. We are really neglected. You should not be dissatisfied."

Both sides were polite, and Zhang Sanniang said again: "We came today, but we saved a lot of effort. My son made a new car, which was very comfortable to sit up. In the future, the scholar would go to the town and just let him take it away."

Lin Wensi said: "I usually see him doing it, but I don't know if it's easy to use."

After saying that, he glanced at the tricycle parked next to him, his face sank a moment, but he quickly covered it up and said nothing.

Lin Suniang said: "Madam Jung Wai, please come to the house to worship tea."

The group walked into the house. Lin Wensi called Xu Ping and said to the others: "You go in first, Dalang and I have something to say."

Seeing everyone walking into the yard, Xu Ping was a little nervous. Recently, he had become much closer to this teacher, but it was probably not a good thing to keep himself alone at this time.

Lin Wensi called Xu Ping to the front of the car, pointed to the pieces of brass decoration and said, "What is this? What is this? Gold decoration, don't you know that it is beyond the rules?"

After the last sentence, he was already stern.

Xu Ping whispered: "The teacher said it was scary. This is not gold, it is all crocks."

Lin Wensi said angrily: "Of course I know it's a stone, and you can't bring out so much real gold! But who told you that the real gold that is beyond the limit? That refers to color! You have been reading books for so many years, where have you read?!"

Xu Ping then came back to the feeling. He only wanted to make his parents happy. How could it be magnificent? But he forgot that there is a polite system in this era and not all colors can be used to decorate it. Today, the teacher was fine. He didn't have an attack in public, but just left himself alone, which had already saved his face.

This mistake was made a lot, so Xu Ping had to lower his head and not say a word.

Lin Wensi said: "You are here, take down all these golden pieces for me, when will you be able to clean up and when will you be allowed to enter the house!"
