Father would usually be at work, but when he wasn’t, then his older siblings would be around, so he didn’t have an opportunity to try it.
His Second Brother kept an especially close eye on everything in the house for fear that he might damage it.
Things such as bicycles, radios, mother’s watches never left his radar…
Now that his Second Brother wasn’t here, he wanted to try riding it.
Seeing his small size, Han Qingsong hesitated for a while, but Sanwang immediately raised his hands and jumped, “Father, let me ride it, let me ride it.”
It was getting dark and most of the moon was already hanging in the western part of the sky, shining brightly. Although he couldn’t see his surroundings clearly, Sanwang’s eyes were dazzlingly bright.
Han Qingsong could see how much he wanted to ride!
As soon as Han Qingsong let down his long legs, he handed over the handlebars to Sanwang and turned on the flashlight he made himself so that the child could illuminate the road ahead.
Sanwang was dressed in warm, puffy clothes, had gloves on his hands and was not tall enough. How could a 28-inch-bike be so easy to drive?
The bicycle was then jerking forward towards him and the ground was slippery in winter. By accident, he let go of the handles and exclaimed, “D-don’t fall on me!”
When he was about to be overwhelmed, Han Qingsong grabbed the bike and looked at Dawang.
Dawang came over to support the? bike and said to Sanwang, “I’ll guide you home.”
Sanwang refused as he stubbornly said, “I can ride!”
Dawang snorted and gestured to the difference between his height and his brother’s. Sanwang took off his gloves and stuffed them into his Eldest Brother’s pocket. He then grabbed the handlebars and trotted to push the bike for momentum. After that, he stepped on the pedal with his left foot and stood on it with his right foot .
Dawang, “It’s dark, if you can’t reach it, don’t go up. Otherwise, you’ll fall and… the bike!”
He stood up as his body jolted back and forth, but suddenly he stopped. WIth the lack of height, his right leg went under the girder and the child almost fell down after panicking for a bit. Fortunately, Dawang was there to support him.
Sanwang, “Eldest Brother, look at me properly; I can ride it!”
He continued and after repeating it a few times, he was able to start riding the bike with the bottom of the girder.
Dawang, “…”Unbelievable how this kid managed to make that work!
Sanwang rode the bicycle proudly and sprinted. Although it was dark, the beam of the flashlight was illuminating the road in front of him, so he was not worried at all.
“Brother, come quickly, I will guide you home.”
Dawang silently followed behind whereas Han Qingsong had already returned home.
Arriving at the door of the house, Sanwang yelled, “Mother, come and look at me, come and look! I can ride… ah—”
Before he could finish speaking, both him and the bike fell at the door of the house.
It just so happened that Lin Lan and Maisui ran out with Xiaowang in order to hype the child up, so they watched the entire process of his fall.
Sanwang laid on the bicycle, raised his head and smiled at them, “Mother, did I fall fabulously?”
Lin Lan hurriedly helped him up, “You looked great, but you didn’t lose your front teeth, did you?”
Sanwang, “…it hasn’t grown out yet,” He recently lost one of his front teeth, which explained the gap in his mouth when he smiled.
