In 1959, what's wrong with me pedaling a tricycle?

Actually, at this time, engaging in speculation and profiteering is not as disliked as one might imagine.

The crackdown will only begin next year.

Therefore, at this time, Wang Xingguo's ability to procure supplies is seen by the Li family as a testament to his competence.

After all, they have respectable jobs, but asking them to bring back some supplies is a real challenge.

Therefore, Li Laishun was easier to talk to than Li Xiuping; at least he did not object after listening to Wang Xingguo's plan.

Li Xiuping, on the other hand, felt dissatisfied because she could have gotten a decent job and married someone with dignity, but she didn't.

However, as women may be dissatisfied, she couldn't very well refuse to marry Wang Xingguo since he insisted on it.

She knew very well how good Wang Xingguo was to her. Even though he didn't have a job, he was always worried that she wasn't getting enough nutrition and would try to find ways to make good food for her.

A woman marries a man for food and clothing, and Wang Xingguo treats her so well; she certainly didn't choose the wrong man.

So the matter was settled. Li Wenbin asked, "Xingguo, have you found a tricycle yet? Do you need me to ask my classmate to help you get one? He works at a place that sells tricycles, so getting one shouldn't be a problem for him."

Wang Xingguo shook his head and explained, "No need, brother. You don't understand. When I do this kind of thing, I have to keep a low profile. A brand new tricycle is too conspicuous. An older one is more suitable for me."

"Okay then, if you can't figure it out, you can let me know, and I'll go talk to my classmates about it."

Wang Xingguo quickly raised his glass to toast Li Wenbin, and the meal began in a lively atmosphere.

Aunt Li grew to like Wang Xingguo, her future son-in-law, more and more each time she looked at him.

There was no way around it; their family did indeed have a higher income and were much better off than the Wang family.

Unfortunately, as a housewife, she couldn't even improve her family's living conditions.

I used to be able to buy chickens, ducks and eggs at the pigeon market, but now I go to the pigeon market every day and I can't find any farmers selling these things anymore.

How could the meager monthly supply possibly provide enough nutrition for the father and son?

Don't think that welders don't work hard. In fact, the parts they weld are quite heavy, and it's a very tiring day for them.

Therefore, Wang Xingguo would provide them with nutritional supplements every now and then to help them improve their health, which changed the Li family's opinion of him and led them to accept him as their future son-in-law.

Otherwise, how could he possibly be willing to marry his precious daughter to someone who doesn't have a job and whose family isn't well-off?

Parents everywhere have the same heart; no parent wants their daughter to marry into a family that suffers.

During the meal, Wang Xingguo drank only one bottle of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor). He didn't dare to drink more, as he would be busy tomorrow.

No matter how bad the tricycle was, he would buy it; he would also try to get a bicycle.

When traveling long distances, he needs to ride a bicycle first, and then switch to a tricycle when he arrives at his destination, so that he won't be so tired.

In the next few days, he will also take some time to go back to Gaobeidian to buy more chickens, ducks, eggs, and even chickens and ducks.

It's not just about raising them to lay eggs; since he's prepared to make money using the tricycle, he needs to develop his own regular customers.

So he actually rode his bicycle to pick up customers. When he encountered a customer who seemed to have financial means, he would ask if they needed nutritional supplements. After one transaction, these customers who needed nutritional supplements were actually very happy to have them delivered to their door.

After all, this is the safest way, so you don't have to worry about having your things confiscated by the joint defense team after you buy them outside.

If the origin of the goods is unclear, it is highly likely that they will be confiscated, and even the person may be detained.

Li Laishun gave Wang Xingguo fifty yuan and said, "You need capital for your business now, so don't keep bringing things over. I still hope you can get a house ready soon and have a wedding banquet with Xiuping to start your life together."

Wang Xingguo did not refuse. As the saying goes, one should not refuse a gift from an elder. After accepting the money, he smiled and said, "Thank you, Uncle. I won't be polite. I still need to get a vehicle and collect goods, which will definitely cost me a lot of money."

Li Laishun nodded and said, "Take your time. You can't rush things. If you need money, just tell me and I'll find a way to help you."

Wang Xingguo was quite moved. How could he not be satisfied if his future father-in-law could do this for him?

After chatting for a while, it was already nine o'clock, so Wang Xingguo said goodbye to everyone.

Li Xiuping escorted him to the courtyard gate, where he pulled her to a corner and kissed her. After a period of intimacy between lovers, he let the blushing Li Xiuping go back.

Wang Xingguo also had to rush home. He greeted his neighbors along the way as he returned to the courtyard, where his older brother pulled him back into the house.

He frowned and said, "Second brother, third sister said you're planning to ride a tricycle? What's going on?"

Wang Xingguo quickly explained, revealing not only his plan but also the fact that he bought the detached house and that the Li family supported him.

At first, Wang Xingbang was very worried, but after hearing that the Li family supported him, he felt relieved.

After all, in his view, the most important thing for the second son right now is to resolve the problems with the Li family and marry his sister-in-law.

Since the Li family supports it, what can he, as the eldest brother, say?

However, he also cautioned, "Second brother, although the Li family supports you in doing this, you can't be careless. They're cracking down on private trading more and more these days."

Wang Xingguo nodded and said, "Don't worry, brother. I'm not that stupid. I've always been extremely careful in doing this, and I've never dared to be careless in the slightest."

Wang Xingbang believed this, after all, his second son was really good at this kind of thing, and even the neighborhood committee and the police station took good care of him.

Wang Xingguo explained that he was going to get a tricycle tomorrow, transfer the ownership, and then join the cooperative.

Joining a tricycle transportation cooperative is a collectively owned activity, so you need to first obtain a tricycle and then visit the director of the subdistrict office to understand the specific details.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Xingbang replied, "Second brother, I estimate that this cooperative will also become state-owned. Many cooperatives have already been converted to state-owned enterprises. Once it is converted to a state-owned enterprise, your job may be fixed, and it won't be so easy to get out and find a new job."

Wang Xingguo had also considered this matter, so he explained in a low voice, "Brother, no matter how things change, even if it really becomes a state-owned enterprise, as long as I have the resources to handle things with the leaders and the street office, no problem will be a problem!"

That's true," Wang Xingbang nodded with a smile, "That makes sense. I don't know much about this either, so you can make the decision yourself. But you must listen to your partner's family's opinions. If they're not satisfied, it won't be easy for you to get your wife back."

My eldest brother has always been like this; he never thinks of himself and always puts his siblings first.

If he were even a little more selfish, he could have won his wife back long ago, instead of focusing on getting a job for his younger brother, Wang Xingguo, even though he had saved up quite a bit of money.
