Eight colleagues including Wang Xianbang and Wang Tianhe from the Transportation Department came to Xue Ming's house early in the morning. They said they were accompanying Xue Ming to the department store to buy bicycles. They were all very happy.

Xue Ming could not understand their brain circuits and could not refuse their enthusiasm, so he asked Xue Ling to take the morning off and stay at home to prepare lunch.

It was normal for the transportation department to miss work collectively. The nine brothers walked to the department store, talking and laughing along the way and were very happy.

Zhao Xue waited at the door of the department store for a long time. Xue Ming introduced everyone to her one by one. Zhao Xue thanked them, "I'm really sorry to trouble you, comrades."

"Brothers and sisters, don't be polite. Buying a car is a big deal for Brother Xue. Of course we brothers have to support him." Wang Xianbang laughed. He bought fine grain from Xue Ming at a low price yesterday. His wife was happy to serve him like a fairy.

A large group of people came to the light industrial products counter. Twenty brand-new permanent bicycles were neatly arranged, and there were only five women's bicycles.

Xue Ming showed the bicycle ticket to the salesperson, and the brothers rushed into the counter to help look at the bicycles. The salesperson was shocked and hurriedly stopped them.

At this time, Zhao Xue came with her aunt Zhao Shufen. Zhao Shufen was the sales director on the first floor. After a few whispers with the salesperson, the problem was solved.

"The strips of this bike are not very strong. Let me look at the next one." Wang Xianbang held the bike strips hard, and the salesperson was afraid that he would break it if he held it hard.

"The tires on this car are obviously not good. The tread pattern on them is too shallow and it is easy to slip when it rains." Wang Xianbang quickly eliminated another car.

Xue Ming and Zhao Xue laughed as they watched their comrades find faults. They were so meticulous that they almost dismantled the bicycle into eight pieces, which made the salesperson dare not say anything.

After struggling for half an hour, he finally picked out the best one. Xue Ming took a closer look and was very satisfied. "Xiaoxue, do you think it will work? This is my gift to you."

Women's bicycles do not have cross beams but curved beams, making it easier for lesbians to get on and off the bicycle. There is a basket in the front and a lock in the back, but there is no electric light.

Zhao Xue rang the bell and made a jingling sound, "I want this one. Comrade salesman, how much does this car cost?"

"Sister Zhao, Comrade Shufen said you can just pay 120 yuan, and it is 135 yuan to others." The salesperson whispered in Zhao Xue's ear.

Zhao Xue took out her wallet to pay the bill. Xue Ming quickly took out the money and handed it to the salesperson, "I'll do it. There is no need to be serious between husband and wife."

"Brother Xue Ming, you pay the ticket and I pay the money. This is our common property." Zhao Xue was elated.

After paying the money and issuing the tickets, everyone left the department store. When they returned home, they found Xue Ling cooking in the kitchen, and Zhao Xue washed her hands and went to help.

Xue Ming took out screwdrivers and other tools from the house, "Brother Xianbang, brother Tianhe, help install the grinding light on my car into the new car."

"Okay!" Wang Xianbang led everyone to work together. They were busy until twelve o'clock and finally installed the grinding lamp on the new car.

Zhao Xue sometimes gets off work late and uses electric lamps to generate electricity for lighting. These days, there are no street lights in the provincial capital.

"Comrades, it's time to eat." Zhao Xue and Xue Ling called everyone to eat, and everyone sat together and ate happily.

After they had finished drinking and eating, Zhao Xue and Xue Ling cleaned up the mess. The nine brothers sat in the room chatting. After Zhao Xue finished cleaning up, she took Xue Ling to her mother-in-law's room to whisper.

"I heard that Brother Xue has a surplus of food?" Wang Tianhe asked cautiously.

The air suddenly became quiet and everyone looked at Xue Ming. Xue Ming finally understood their true purpose, "Are the brothers all short of food?"

"Brother Xue, go grab a random person on the street and ask him if he is short of food. No one has enough food these days." Wang Tianhe winked at Wang Xianbang.

Wang Xianbang opened the door and went to the yard to take out many sacks from his bicycle canvas bag, then went into the house and closed the door with the sacks in his arms.

"Haha, it turns out that comrades have been prepared for a long time." Xue Ming quietly took out six bags of rice from the space and put them under the bed, then pointed at the bottom of the bed.

Everyone understood and acted immediately. They worked together to pull out the grain bag. After opening it, they were all stunned. The white rice was like pearls. Judging from the appearance, it was definitely the best grain.

"Forty cents a pound is 500 pounds in total. Brothers, if you want it, just share it. My family doesn't have much food left." Xue Ming showed a look of helplessness.

This was rice just harvested from the space farm. The yield per mu was actually 400 kilograms less than the previous crop. Xue Ming suspected that the fertility of the chemical fertilizer had been exhausted.

The urea sent by Yamada Kirito from Japan two years ago has been used up. The yield per acre with urea and without urea is so different that Xue Ming is not in the mood to cultivate the space farm.

"Brother Xue, I want a hundred catties." Wang Tianhe was the first to recover from the shock and opened his sack to grab food.

"I want one hundred and fifty kilograms." Deng Yubo also opened the sack and grabbed the food. Others, including Wang Xianbang, joined in the fight.

"Damn it, please keep your voice down." Xue Ming stared and cursed, a bunch of unseen things, we would all be in trouble if someone reported us.

Five hundred kilograms of rice were divided up. They squatted on the ground and picked up the rice grains scattered on the ground one by one.

Xue Ming quietly took out a large scale from the space and weighed it separately. Five hundred kilograms of polished rice was exchanged for twenty ten-dollar bills, and his pocket instantly bulged.

"Brother Xue, just speak up if you have anything to do in the future. Although I don't have much ability, I have a lot of strength." Wang Tianhe was suddenly very excited. This month, he could finally let his children eat a good meal, and finally no longer had to be defrauded by black market profiteers.

"From now on, your business is my business." Deng Yubo promised with a pat on his chest. His family of ten people, old and young, were waiting for his salary to eat. I was short of food.

This sounded very comfortable. Xue Ming waved his hand and said, "We are all brothers. Don't be polite to me. Let's help each other in the future."

"I have a suggestion. How about we help each other? What do you think?" Wang Xianbang said.

"I agree."

"I agree."

……

Everyone expressed that they were done. Becoming brothers means becoming brothers of the opposite sex, similar to Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Taoyuan.

Of course it is impossible to die on the same day, same year, same month, helping each other to fight the crisis together is the core purpose.

"Many friends mean many roads, many enemies mean many walls. Let's become sworn friends now." Xue Ming felt that these few people could get along, so he lit a burner of incense and poured nine glasses of white wine.

There is no need to make an alliance based on blood. The nine brothers knelt in front of the incense burner and drank the sworn wine together. Xue Ming, the youngest, became the ninth brother.

The eight brothers went back to their homes carrying grain bags. Zhao Xue opened the door and entered the house, "Did you just show your favor?"

Xue Ming nodded and Zhao Xue smiled, "It's a good thing to make more friends. I support you."

"Thank you, do you like the bicycle I bought you?" Xue Ming hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice.

Zhao Xue smiled again, "Dear Comrade Xue Ming, I will give you a surprise in two days."
