"Why did I call you? I knew you were surely doing chores for your family. But don't worry about waiting; what's the rush? From now on, we can go to and from school together and save a lot of time."
Gu Juying was a straightforward girl, perhaps due to her family's influence. She always carried a kind of spirited courage and was bold in manner.
On her back, Gu Juying had a brand-new army green backpack, and Gu Xiaoqing knew it must have been sent from the army by her dad.
"But you can't always be the one who's tired. How about this? Next time during the break, you teach me to ride a bicycle, and then we can take turns giving each other rides, so neither of us has to be the only one exhausted."
Gu Xiaoqing actually knew how to ride a bicycle. After all, by the time she returned, bicycles were no longer rare; everyone on the street could ride them.
Gu Xiaoqing said this to find an excuse for herself to learn to ride a bicycle later. She couldn't be seen as an oddball.
