Xu Hua and Xu Liang were absolutely thrilled. Their eyes lit up as they gingerly took hold of the bicycles, eager to climb on. Over the years, whenever Xu Shu returned to Xu Village, he always rode a bicycle. Having accompanied him and been constantly exposed to it, Xu Hua and the others had long since learned how to ride. They excitedly circled the open space in front of the warehouse a few times, feeling the wind brush past their ears, their hearts filled with anticipation for their new lives.
Afterward, Xu Shu brought them to the Procurement Section office. As soon as they entered, he warmly introduced Xu Hua and Xu Liang to his colleagues. The colleagues responded with friendly gazes and enthusiastic greetings. Everyone sat around chatting about work and life, creating a very harmonious atmosphere. Before they knew it, time had slipped away, and lunch was nearly upon them. Only then did Xu Shu lead the two of them up and out of the Procurement Section.
The three of them went to the Security Section to pick up Xu Haitao, who had finished his registration process. Now, the four of them with their three bicycles set off in a grand procession to search the streets for a suitable restaurant. After quite some time, they finally chose a clean, tidy eatery and ordered a few home-style dishes. As they enjoyed their meal, they shared stories of their morning, their laughter ringing out continuously.
