    Last winter, Yang Yi bought a piece of black and white striped rags for her youngest daughter, Chenyao, at the fair when she went back to her natal home last winter. The purpose was to make a pair of medium-sized shorts for her.  In summer, because she didn't have suitable shorts, she could only wear adult's shorts. As the child grew up, her self-esteem became stronger and stronger.  Because I feel that the clothes are a bit embarrassing, I don¡¯t want to go out during the day, and only go out to cool off at night, because no one sees that the clothes they wear don¡¯t fit well at night, and no one sees that there are many patches on their clothes.  Yang Yi wanted to make a suitable pair of shorts for her daughter, so that she would not have to be bored at home every day.  In fact, when she came back from her mother's house that day, she cut the cloth head and finished every detail with a sewing machine. Because there was no elastic band at that time, this last step was left.  However, because it was winter, there was no rush.  Recently, as the temperature slowly rose, Yang Yi went to buy a new elastic band and put it on the shorts. This new pair of shorts was completely finished.

    "Chen Yao, come here and try on these shorts."

    "Me?" Chen Yao couldn't believe her ears, she saw that what her mother was holding was a pair of newly made shorts.

    "I just made this for you. Try it on and see if the elastic is tight. If it's tight, I'll take it apart and fix it for you again."

    "Mom, are these shorts made for me?" Chen Yao couldn't restrain her excitement when she saw the new shorts in her mother's hand.  He quickly took off the yellow fat shorts that had been loosened by the elastic band and could only be maintained by fastening the buttons.

    These new shorts fit so well, they were really tailor-made for me by my mother, the size fits well, and the elastic band is just right.  Yang Yi asked while helping Chenyao tidy up her shorts at the back.

    "How about it, is the elastic tight? Shall I adjust it for you?"

    "It's not tight, it's not tight, it's just right." Chen Yao excitedly turned her body to show her mother.  Yang Yi suddenly felt a little sad in her heart, but it was just a pair of shorts made of 20 cents rags. Not only did the child not dislike it, but she also liked it like this.

    "Mom, I want to go out and learn to ride a bicycle."

    "Go."

    Chen Yao, who had just put on new shorts, couldn't wait to run to the outside world. She finally stopped being embarrassed by the unfit shorts and the fat and ugly appearance. The new shorts her mother made for herself fit so well.  So fashionable, of course this is fashion in her eyes.  But, at least, the workmanship really does not look like it was made at home, it is no different from the ones sold in the market.

    "Third Sister, teach me to ride a bicycle." The excited Chen Yao wanted to go outside immediately to learn her dream bicycle.  There are only a few sisters in the family who can't ride a bicycle. She must learn to ride a bicycle this summer.

    "Don't go, it's too hot." Chen Piao, who was hit by drowsiness, was really not interested. For her, a good night's sleep is the most comfortable thing at this moment.

    "Third sister, please." Chen Yao was shaking the third sister who was about to fall asleep, while her head was spinning rapidly.  The moment she saw the old wall clock, she suddenly had a solution.  There, she hides the five yuan and seventy cents she collected from picking up trash. Since she wants her unwilling sister to sacrifice for herself at this moment when she is most unwilling, it seems that she really needs some sacrifices.

    "If you teach me to ride a bicycle, I'll buy you popsicles, baked sweet potatoes." In this midsummer noon when you're sweating, just saying the word "popsicle" can make you feel cool  .

    "Really?" Sure enough, the popsicle still exerted its seductive value.

    "Yes." Although she felt sorry for her money, she still nodded cruelly in order to learn to ride a bicycle.

    Under the temptation of popsicles, Chen Piao shook his head vigorously, trying to wake himself up, and went to the water tank, and poured himself a big tank of cold water, although your cold water also has the unique temperature of summer.

    "Where did you get these shorts?" Finally, the moment Chen Piao put down the water tank, she noticed Chen Yao's shorts.

    "Mom made me a new one, does it look good?" At that moment of showing off, Chen Yao's eyes were full of light.

    "It's okay, you don't plan to wear it to learn how to ride a bicycle, do you?"

    "Can't you?"

    "Anyway, it's basically impossible to learn without falling a few somersaults. If you're not afraid of breaking your new shorts, go for it."

    When I heard this, of course not, these are her new shorts, how could they break?  She has to dress carefully.  However, she really wanted to wear it to show off.  After weighing, Chen Yao still decided to change back to the old shorts. She didn't want to wear new shorts on the first day and let them get hurt.

    Chen Yao launched the lighter 28 bicycle,There are distinct differences between the two bikes at home.  One is bulky, the other is light, basically the bulky one is only ridden by Li Changqing, and the rest are riding the lighter one.

    "You stare at the car on the left with your left foot first, then ride forward for a while, when the car gets up, put your right foot under the girder, and then just ride forward." Chen Piao told Chen Yao  Chen Yao tried her best to memorize the technical points of learning to ride a bicycle. She thought it was not difficult. The excitement of getting new clothes made her believe that she would learn it soon.

    "Sister, hold on tight." Although she was excited, the fear in her heart still occupied a very important position.

    "I'll take care of it for you, let's go."

    Following Chen Piao's comforting voice, Chen Yao continued to cheer herself up and put her left foot on the pedal with great effort.

    "Gaden, Gaden, Gaden." After walking about five meters away, the speed of the car finally picked up.

    "Pull your right foot under the girder."

    Hearing the third sister's order, the nervous Chen Yao swayed and controlled the handlebar, while trying hard to put her right foot through it.  Probably because of the strength of the third sister behind, although the bicycle shook a few times, it was finally in her hands and moved forward safely.  However, because she was unskilled, she could only ride half a circle, and her legs could not turn a full circle.

    In this way, with the help of my sister, I practiced for nearly an hour.  Chen Yao basically grasped the essentials, the scorching sun had already made them sweat profusely, and they even stared at each other.  It finally ended in Chen Piao's helplessness.  Chen Yao happily washed her face and feet, changed into the newly made shorts, and went to the canteen to buy popsicles.  Along the way, she felt the wind blowing from the soles of her feet, and she felt an uncontrollable joy.  Now she not only has her own "little treasury", but also has new clothes and is about to learn how to ride a bicycle, all of which make her happy.  She generously bought baked sweet potato flavored popsicles for everyone in the family. The only regret was that her father, Li Changqing, was not at home.  However, she had already figured out that when her father got off work at night, she would immediately go to the canteen to buy him a sweet potato-flavored popsicle.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
