Lazy Stepmother of the 70s Island

Chapter 67: On the Road

When Shen Lie mentioned that he wanted Ning Tang to ride a bicycle for him to see, it got misinterpreted in Ning Tang's ears as him wanting her to ride him on the road.

"How can I ride with you?" Ning Tang waved her hand. "Let's eat first."

The crabs were particularly fat this month, and their shells were full of crab roe and crab paste. After peeling off the white crab meat, Ning Tang piled it on top of rice along with the crab roe. She added a little vinegar, a little soy sauce, and mixed it together. It was incredibly delicious, so tasty that it could make one swallow their tongue.

However, no matter how delicious the meal was, it couldn't stop the eagerness of Dawa to ride a bicycle. He quickly finished his bowl of rice and pulled Shen Lie, urging him, "Dad, please teach me how to ride a bicycle."

Shen Lie said, "Why rush? You'll have plenty of time to ride in the future. Let your mom ride first." He smiled and looked at Ning Tang. "Come on, let me see you ride."

He didn't originally mean it that way, but after Ning Tang's comment, he became interested and deliberately provoked her, "How long has it been since you rode a bicycle? Do you still remember how to pedal?"

Ning Tang gave him a sidelong glance. "Don't underestimate me."

With a stride of her long legs, she mounted the bicycle, and both her feet landed firmly on the ground.

Her actions of getting on the bicycle made her look as cool as mounting a horse, incredibly stylish.

This skill of hers surprised the three little ones.

Erniu clapped her hands repeatedly. "Wow, Mom, you're amazing." She looked up and said, "I want to learn too."

Ning Tang pinched her little face. "Of course, wait for it. Mom will take you for an island tour later." After saying that, she gave Shen Lie a proud look.

Upon hearing this, Dawa and Sanwa couldn't sit still and raised their hands one after another. "I want to go too."

"Okay, okay, I'll take all of you." Ning Tang said, "But before I take you, I have to take your dad first."

She patted the back seat of the bicycle and said, "Come on, Captain Shen, I still owe you a treat."

Shen Lie chuckled and jumped onto the back seat of the bicycle. "Then I'll trouble you, Xiao Ning, my driver. Please take me to the supply and marketing cooperative."

While cooking earlier, he noticed that they were running low on soy sauce and vinegar, so they needed to replenish their supplies at the cooperative.

Shen Lie got on too hastily, and his weight was heavy. Ning Tang tightly grasped the handlebars, and her body leaned to the side. "Captain Shen, you should lose weight."

"Nonsense, my physique is just right." Shen Lie extended his leg to help stabilize the bike.

He patted Ning Tang's shoulder. "Driver, let's go."

Ning Tang tried to pedal, arched forward a few times, but couldn't ride properly. "See, I told you, you should lose weight."

Shen Lie argued, "Why don't you say you should gain weight? It's your lack of skill and ability. Don't blame the road for being uneven."

Although he said that, he still got off the bicycle. "Come on, I'll ride you."

The two of them switched positions, with Shen Lie sitting in the front and Ning Tang sitting on the back seat. Finally, they felt comfortable.

"Let's go, off to the supply and marketing cooperative." Shen Lie shouted and carried Ning Tang away on the bicycle, quickly disappearing from sight.

Dawa had a bewildered look on his face. Wait, what happened to the bike they promised to buy for him? How did they end up riding it themselves?
