In the courtyard, everyone is afraid of the little boy who is so smart!

The dim light sprinkled into the room. Wang Jianguo leaned forward slightly, his eyes full of care and sincerity.

His voice was light and gentle, as if he was afraid of disturbing He Yushui's mood at the moment, and he said slowly:

"Yushui, please don't say that, and don't have such thoughts again. In my heart, each of you is extremely important."

"Especially you, you saved my life. Thinking back to the days in the courtyard, I was plotted against by a villain."

"The situation was so critical that the air around us seemed to freeze, and there seemed to be countless pairs of malicious eyes hidden in the darkness."

"If you hadn't stepped forward at the critical moment, I would have stayed there forever. That cold courtyard might have become my burial place."

He Yushui listened quietly, and the sadness in her eyes gradually dissipated with Wang Jianguo's words.

She sniffed lightly, with tears still lingering on her face, but she tried hard to force a smile and said with a hint of anger:

"Okay, Brother Jianguo, look, aren't we all safe and sound now? Why do you have to indulge in this sad atmosphere?"

"Once the supply and marketing cooperative opens and everything is on track, I will help you run the supply and marketing cooperative wholeheartedly."

"As for you, hurry up and collect your spiritual energy and find a way to open your space."

"Bring Du Juan, Sister Yu Li, and Hai Tang here. I'll feel more at ease when they accompany me. I really miss them so much."

Wang Jianguo slowly stood up, looked at the scene outside the window which was gradually becoming lively, and sighed deeply.

His tone expressed both regret for the hardships of the past and anticipation for a future reunion. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke:

"I miss them too. Fortunately, I acted decisively and let them enter the space in advance, so they escaped the disaster."

"Now, the days of separation are almost over, and I will be able to meet them again soon."

As he spoke, he seemed to see the canteen under construction not far away, with busy workers moving around, and the sounds of hammers hitting and bricks colliding intertwined.

"You see, the construction of the canteen is also going on in full swing. Now all that's missing is the merchandise cabinets. Once they're in place, the supply and marketing cooperative will be able to open for business right away."

"Oh, by the way, I have to write a letter to the director and ask her to help me get a bicycle."

"You know, it's really inconvenient to travel around here without a means of transportation."

"Every time I want to go somewhere a little further away, I have to walk on foot, which is not only tiring but also very time-consuming."

"Or we have to borrow a bullock cart, but the oxen move slowly and bumpily, and we have to see if the owner is available."

He Yushui stood aside, listening to Wang Jianguo's words, tilted his head slightly to think for a while, then nodded in agreement and said:

"Yes, this travel problem is really a headache. Every time I go out, I have to measure the land step by step with my own legs."

"It's just sitting on a slow bullock cart, swaying all the way, and all the time is wasted on the road."

Wang Jianguo turned his head and glanced at He Yushui, his eyes flashing with concern and thoughtfulness. After a pause, he said:

"I thought, why not get two bicycles? That way, it will be much more convenient for you to go to work at the supply and marketing cooperative."

"You are busy all day long. With a bicycle, you can save a lot of time and energy, and you don't have to run around so hard."

He Yushui listened attentively to Wang Jianguo's words. The voice that entered her ears seemed to carry a hint of warmth.

Her eyes flickered slightly, and she instantly realized that Wang Jianguo was concerned about her. Her heart felt like being brushed by a spring breeze, and ripples of joy appeared in it.

However, she paused slightly, shook her head gently, and said:

"Brother Jianguo, I appreciate your kindness, but I really don't need a bicycle. Look, this place is not far from the supply and marketing cooperative."

"I walk there every day, just to stretch my muscles and it's also a kind of comfort."

"Besides, walking with Shen Chunhua and the others, we can chat about family matters and share some interesting stories along the way. The journey will seem shorter with laughter."

"If I have a bicycle and ride alone, but they can only walk, over time, it is inevitable that a gap will arise inadvertently."

"I don't want our friendship to be strained because of such a small matter, so I definitely don't want this bicycle."

He Yushui paused for a moment, sorted out his thoughts, and then continued:

"But, Brother Jianguo, if you plan to buy two bicycles, I think it would be very appropriate. Giving one to Brother Zhao would be just right."

"You are often away from home, so you may not be very clear about the recent situation in the village. Since the position of village chief has been vacant, the village is like a ship without a helmsman, and all matters, big or small, have lost their backbone."

"And Brother Zhao, who is kind and warm-hearted by nature, naturally took on this heavy responsibility."

"He was like a tireless millstone, working day after day in the village, the production team and the supply and marketing cooperative."

"Every morning, he always goes out early to deal with some neighborhood disputes or arrange some daily affairs in the village."

"Then I hurried to the production team to check the growth of crops, arrange farm work, and discuss production plans with team members. I also had to find time to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to coordinate material supply and other related matters."

"He was often so busy that he didn't even have time to drink water, and sometimes he didn't even have time to eat. We stayed at his house for such a long time, and he never complained at all. He always took good care of us."

"Giving him a bicycle is a way of expressing our gratitude to him and a tangible reward. Brother Jianguo, do you think this arrangement is okay?"

After He Yushui finished speaking, her eyes were full of anticipation as she quietly waited for Wang Jianguo's response.

Wang Jianguo narrowed his eyes slightly, with a thoughtful gleam in his eyes. He stared at He Yushui quietly, as if he was re-examining the girl in front of him.

After a moment, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a gratified smile, and he nodded heavily, his voice gentle and with a hint of emotion:

"Yushui, you have been through so many ups and downs along the way. You have really changed. You are no longer the ignorant little girl you used to be."

"Now you are thinking about things more thoroughly and taking every detail into consideration. I have taken note of your words."

"I'll do as you say. I'll buy two bicycles and give one to Brother Zhao as a token of our gratitude."
