At the entrance of the first floor of Yuxing Teahouse, Yang Guangzong drank two cups of tea. Seeing that his father had not returned yet, he walked out of the teahouse out of boredom and sat under the eaves on the left side of the teahouse to chat with a few rickshaw drivers.

The rickshaws driven by five or six rickshaw pullers were not the Toyo rickshaws popular in Japan, but a three-wheeled bicycle produced by the Xinjing Machinery Manufacturing Factory in Han State.

After ten years of development, Han's rubber industry had greatly improved its industrial technology, and rubber pneumatic tires used as bicycle accessories had gradually become popular. Therefore, when the piston four-stroke gas internal combustion engine introduced from Germany by Han had not yet been used in automobiles, the time-saving, labor-saving and convenient three-wheeled bicycles became the main means of transporting passengers, and thus a new industry of rickshaws was born.

The rickshaw companies were under the jurisdiction of the Traffic Management Department of the Ministry of Industry and were uniformly equipped with three-wheeled bicycles produced by the Xinjing Machinery Manufacturing Plant.

The retail price of a three-wheeled bicycle is fourteen Han Yuan, while the rickshaw shop sells it to the rickshaw pullers for nine Han Yuan. Considering that most of the rickshaw pullers are Chinese who have just immigrated to China and have not received basic education, in order to reduce the pressure on them, for those rickshaw pullers with financial difficulties, the bicycle shop allows them to buy three-wheeled bicycles on loan, and then repay them monthly after they make money.

The two rickshaw pullers who were chatting with Yang Guangzong all bought their tricycles from the bicycle shop on loan. Although the older middle-aged one had paid off his debt to the bicycle shop with the money he earned from carrying passengers, he was still trying hard to attract customers walking in and out of the teahouse and did not miss any opportunity to make money.

"Brother Sun, you have already paid off the money you owed to the car dealership and saved some money. Why are you still trying to steal business from your old brothers?"

A younger driver joked.

"When you go out to attract customers, it's up to you to show your ability. I'm not trying to steal your business."

The middle-aged driver didn't care about the other party's joke at all, and said, "Brother, I didn't catch up with the good time of large land distribution. Now my family has a total of 2000 acres of land and owes the government Han yuan. Even if I pay Han yuan a year, it will take four years to pay it back. I'm not like you, a single man with acres of land at home. I can pay off the debt to the government in one year. Brother, if I don't work hard to attract customers, my wife and two children will suffer. Do you think I can't work hard?"

"Brother Sun, please stop laughing at me. Everyone knows that my Wang Ergou family has the least land. Ten acres of farmland is not a problem for finding a wife in Guangxi Province, but here, every family has dozens of acres of land. If I only live on ten acres of farmland and can't find a wife to carry on the Wang family's lineage, my parents in the underworld will not forgive me."

"Hey, Brother Ergou, I heard that Li Datou from Shangjie Village married a Japanese woman and gave birth to a big fat boy on the fifth day of March. How about asking him if he can ask his wife to introduce a few women from Japan to you as wives?"

"Go away, if you are not afraid of being cuckolded, go to Li Datou's house and ask him yourself. Don't make fun of me."

Wang Ergou waved his hands, his face looking as ugly as if he had eaten a fly.

"Brother Zeng, when did Japanese women appear in China? I heard from the teacher at school that most of the female immigrants from Han were Chinese, and there were also Annan women and Thai women. I haven't heard of Japanese women?"

Yang Guangzong sat on the stone slab and asked curiously.

"Young brother Yang is quite strong, has your family arranged a marriage?"

The young driver named Zeng did not answer Yang Guangzong's question, but asked with a smile.

"I still have to go to school, and my family hasn't arranged a marriage yet."

Yang Guangzong answered honestly.

"Alas, what you said is not right, little brother Yang. In the operas, it is said that the wedding night and the day of passing the imperial examination are two major happy events. How can little brother Yang only focus on the imperial examination and delay his lifelong event?"

The driver surnamed Zeng thought that Yang Guangzong was like the other young men in the village, and that he would take the college entrance examination after finishing the middle school, so he joked, "If your family is not spacious and you can't find a suitable girl to get engaged to, don't waste time. Ask someone to find a Japanese woman in Southeast Asia to try. Those Japanese women are all humble and docile, and they will definitely take good care of you."

Yang Guangzong was confused and didn't understand what the other party meant by Japanese women. At this time, the middle-aged driver said, "Boy, don't listen to his nonsense. Japanese women go to Southeast Asia to sell their bodies. You can't marry such women into your family as wives."

"What's wrong with selling her body? Women who have sold their bodies know how to serve people better. I think Brother Sun is controlled too strictly by his wife at home. He dares not to cheat outside. He can't enjoy it himself, and he doesn't let Brother Yang enjoy it either." The young driver named Zeng curled his lips and said in a flowery way.

At first, Yang Guangzong didn't understand what they meant by "Japanese women", but now he understood what they said. His face turned red and he said, "Brother Zeng, don't talk nonsense. The government issued a decree a few years ago prohibiting the forced sale of women. If you go to Nanyang to force women to sell, be careful that you will be arrested and thrown into jail by the government."

"Brother, don't think that I don't know the government laws because I haven't been educated. The government only said that buying and selling Chinese women is not allowed, but there is no law that prohibits buying Japanese women as wives."

The young rickshaw driver named Zeng was in a period of excess energy, and when the topic of getting married was mentioned, he couldn't help but talk nonsense. However, Yang Guangzong had been honest and well-behaved since childhood, and the 15-year-old boy was not at all impressed by his teasing. Soon his face turned red with shame, and he turned his face away and ignored the teasing words of the young rickshaw driver named Zeng.

The absence of Yang Guangzong as an audience did not affect the young driver named Zeng's desire to speak at all.

"It can be said that this fool Li Datou really hit the jackpot. At the beginning of last year, a fleet transported more than 10,000 women, including more than 300 Japanese girls. At that time, the leader of the fleet asked if anyone was willing to take the Japanese girls back to be wives. Others disliked the Japanese girls because they had sold their bodies in Southeast Asia and refused to take them. Only Li Datou was the first to step forward and took away a Japanese girl named Meizi. Then, when the hungry men saw Li Datou taking away a beautiful Japanese girl, they all rushed forward without caring about their reserve and divided up all the remaining Japanese girls.

After all the Japanese women were taken away, I heard that many bachelors who didn't get any begged the fleet leader to leave a Japanese woman for them next time they went to Southeast Asia, which made the fleet's transportation business boom all of a sudden. "

"Brother Zeng, if you envy them so much, why didn't you ask the fleet to bring you a Japanese woman?"

Wang Ergou asked.

"What's the matter, Brother Ergou has changed his mind and wants to marry a Japanese woman?"

The young man surnamed Zeng asked back, and seeing Wang Ergou's silence, he understood that the other party was somewhat interested, but was just too embarrassed to say it out loud because he was too embarrassed to do so.

"Brother Ergou, for the sake of our six-month friendship, I'm going to tell you a piece of news. Don't tell anyone else."

"What news is so secret that you can't tell others?"

Wang Ergou asked curiously.

"Brother Ergou, you have seen Li Datou's wife, right? She is pretty, right?"

The driver surnamed Zeng chuckled and said, "The Japanese women who can go to Southeast Asia to sell their bodies are naturally good-looking, but there is a group of Korean women who are more attractive than them who will arrive in Han soon. I have already discussed with the ship owner that after the fleet arrives at the Xinjing Port, he will leave a Korean woman for me to be my wife.

And Brother Ergou, let me tell you, these North Korean women are not Japanese women who have sold their bodies. They are refugees who have fled from North Korea, and many of them are still virgins. "

As if thinking of the happy scene of marrying a North Korean girl, the driver named Zeng reminded with a smile on his face, "Brother Ergou, don't blame me for not reminding you. Make good use of your time to attract customers and save money. Next time the fleet brings North Korean girls, I will ask my cousin on the fleet to keep an eye out for you and ensure that your family lineage is not cut off."

"Brother Zeng is very loyal. He didn't forget me when he encountered good things. Come to my house tonight and we two brothers will have a couple of drinks."

Upon hearing that the driver named Zeng had connections in the fleet, Wang Ergou immediately trusted his words a little more. He felt a surge of enthusiasm in his heart. He planned to treat the driver to drinks and then start to attract customers and save money so that he could marry a Korean girl as soon as possible.
