Chapter 19 16 In The Lunar Calendar Is A Good Day
In The Lunar Calendar Is A Good Day
"What are you talking about? As a girl, I think it would be better for you to learn needlework," Jane believed that it was for a man to learn how to ride a motorcycle. As a girl, it might be difficult for her husband's family to accept that.
"Auntie, if I learn to do some needlework, I can never return the five hundred dollars to you." Celia said. There was an old saying that women had long hair and short wit. No law stipulated that women couldn't learn the motorcycle. Apparently, it was prejudice.
"Celia, I can make money by doing some part-time job. I will certainly get the money. You don't need to learn motorcycle. Jane's right. It's too dangerous." Wendy didn't think it was a right thing for a girl to do either.
"Mom, you can ask Uncle whether learning motorcycle is safe or not? Uncle won't lie to you. " No matter how hard she tried to persuade Wendy, her words would not work, unless with her uncle's help.
"I don't think it's wrong to say that you are shortsighted. While my niece has a different vision and brain. It's very safe to ride a motorcycle."
Although he didn't know why Celia wanted to learn the motorcycle, he knew it was definitely not for fun.
"Are you sure, Zack? I only have one daughter. " Wendy asked again.
"Sister, don't worry. I will not hurt my niece and I will teach her by myself. She will be fine." Zack promised.
"Now you and aunt Jane can be assured, right?" Celia was more and more fond of her uncle. He not only had been lenient to her, but also spoke for her many times.
"Of course I'm relieved that you are with your uncle."
Her brother had done inappropriate things before, but he was really nice to his niece.
"Auntie, do you agree?" Now, she only need to persuade Jane.
"The head of our family is your uncle. He said it's okay, then it is okay." Celia put on a new dress for herself. She would be nice to her aunt Jane as she didn't want to be the bad guy.
"Okay, I'll take it as your consent."
Celia's face lit up with excitement. She believed that if she could learn how to ride motorcycle, no matter what she did, she would make great progress.
"Look at how happy you are."
After dinner, Celia and Wendy didn't stay for longer. Zack sat on the motorcycle and sent them home.
"Celia, if you do not have enough money, I can..."
Of course, Zack was willing to support his niece, as long as she didn't squander money, and if she really get ahead, his sister's life would be much easier.
"Uncle, don't bother. You have a family to raise. You can't help us forever. Do you think so? I will protect my mother well. But I need to borrow your motorcycle for a while." Celia had already notify her uncle about that.
"Of course. I've been doing the farm work recently and I will not need the motorcycle until I help your aunt finish these. You can ride the motorcycle to do something you like."
He rather lend the motorcycle to his niece than just putting it aside.
"Okay, thank you, uncle. And I think I want to learn how to ride the motorcycle tonight."
Celia was always vigorous and efficient, just like her previous life. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
"Now? Are you sure? " He had learned how to ride motorcycle for several days. No matter how smart she was, she must need at least two days.
"I'm sure no one is on the way here, and it's 16 in the lunar calendar. It's a good day."
Celia could drive not only a sedan in her previous life, but also scooters. The reason why she had to pretend was that she didn't want them to be suspicious.
"Why is it a good day?" Asked Zack, confused.
"Because the moon round today, and the bright moonlight makes it a good day to learn motorcycle."
Celia looked on the road. The moonlight was shining on the road and the road was not that dark.
"You are getting more and more eloquent."
There was nothing he could do with his niece. It was still early, and he thought the bright moonlight did make the road not dark, and there were very few people at night, so it was suitable for her to practice riding.
"Mom, I am going to learn how to ride the motorcycle from uncle. This is the suit I bought for you. You can go home and try it on." Celia hadn't had a chance to give her the clothes she bought for her. Now she finally have a chance.
"Bought for me?"
Wendy was flattered. She had always worn patches for all these years, she even couldn't remember how many years she hadn't bought a new dress.
"Of course I bought it for you. Mom, I'm not going to be partial." Celia was afraid that Wendy would feel uncomfortable, so she said that deliberately.
"Why did you spend your money for me? I have clothes to wear." Wendy was touched. Celia was becoming more and more sensible.
"Sis, those clothes you wore were full of patched to cover the holes. You should have thrown them away. It's Celia's present for you. She just want to tell you that she has grown up."
Hearing that, Zack was gratified. He knew that as long as Celia had a bright future, his sister would surely lead a good life.
"Mom, please prepare us a bowl of noodles. We want to eat something after uncle Zack teach me how to ride the motorcycle."
Only after driving away Wendy can she start to learn to ride. Otherwise, when she saw her on the motorcycle, she would be scared to death.
"Celia, motorcycle riding is very simple. It's just like you are riding a bike. Keep the balance. I'll tell you the gear of this scooter first."
Although Zack looked boorish, he told Celia about the motorcycle's steps in detail.
"This is the key. I insert it into the gear, then turn right, and the motorbike is started, and the light will be on. Then we set the gear to 0. Then we can start the motorbike. First, you have to put your right hand on the accelerator and control part. Step on the starting device with your right foot, and then turn the accelerator and control part. When you hear the engine of the motorbike, the motorcycle was started. If it didn't work at once, you could repeat the steps. "
Zack explained to her in detail as he gave her a demonstration.
"Celia, that's all I can teach you today. You need to digest the rest. I'll teach you tomorrow."
He felt that today there were enough contents for her to learn. If only she could digest half of them, it would be great.
"No need, uncle. I have remembered everything you said. Please hand them all to me." Celia said confidently.
