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

Wang Xingning and Wang Xingmin came home from school. Seeing their younger sister, who had lost a lot of weight, Wang Xingguo asked with some concern, "Third sister, why have you suddenly lost so much weight?"

Wang Xingning hesitated for a moment, then explained, "Second brother, our Chinese teacher has edema, so I saved some of my food rations to support her."

Wang Xingguo nodded, without saying anything about his sister.

He may not be kind, but he shouldn't deny his sister's kindness.

He simply instructed her, "Third Sister, you must take good care of yourself. Do what you are capable of. Make sure you don't go hungry before helping others; that's the right thing to do. I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just reminding you. You must be responsible for yourself. Do you understand what I mean?"

Wang Xingning nodded and said, "I know, Second Brother, don't worry. I feel at ease now that I've done my part. I'll take care of myself first before I think about helping others."

Aunt Zhao came over because she heard Wang Xingguo's voice.

Wang Xingguo quickly got up and called for help. Aunt Zhao waved to Wang Xingguo and said, "Don't be so polite, Xingguo. You've been away on business for so long this time. You must be exhausted. Sit down and rest."

Wang Xingguo asked with concern, "Auntie, how is my uncle doing?"

Aunt Zhao sighed and said, "It's still the same old story, no progress, nothing's coming back. Everyone misses the days when you were at the night market; at least you helped keep things going. Now, everyone at the trust store, and those struggling residents, are thinking of you."

Wang Xingguo smiled and said, "Hey, that's all in the past. My work is very important now, and I can't get any supplies anymore. Missing me won't help."

Aunt Zhao nodded and said, "Xingguo, if you can get some nutritional supplements, please bring some back for me. Your nephew has lost so much weight, and it breaks my heart as his grandmother..."

Wang Xingguo nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go out for a walk tonight and see if I can get some supplies. I definitely won't be able to get a lot, but I should be able to get a little bit."

We will definitely help. Providing some nutritional supplements for everyone is something Wang Xingguo is willing to do.

But it's unrealistic to expect him to bring back a large quantity; he wouldn't put himself in danger.

He used to rely on the night market and his old boss's protection.

Now that he no longer has the night market and the gold he handed over to silence those people, he can't afford to act recklessly anymore.

When his sisters-in-law came home from get off work, they were all very happy to see Wang Xingguo.

Wang Xingguo took his nephew from his arms and asked about the trust store.

A new director was transferred from the Municipal Bureau of Commerce, and two deputy directors were transferred from the District Bureau.

Nothing much has changed. Wang Yongli and Wang Xingye have returned to their jobs as accountant and transporter, and they are both quite satisfied.

Now everyone is chasing after the three new directors for lunch and all sorts of perks, so the directors don't have to worry about it anymore.

After a lively exchange of pleasantries, everyone went home.

When Wang Xingbang came home from work and saw his younger brother, he was very happy.

He took Wang Cheng'an from his arms and said to Wang Xingguo, "Second brother, last week on the 21st, Grandpa came by and brought a lot of vegetables home. He asked us to tell you that everything is fine in the clan so you don't have to worry."

Wang Xingguo nodded and said, "Given my current situation, my work is strictly confidential, and I can't just run back to the countryside. Even if something happens in the clan, I can't help with it."

After chatting for a while, dinner was ready, and everyone ate together.

Actually, they used to have dinner together with several families, which made it more lively.

However, due to the current shortage of supplies, everyone ate separately. Wang Xingguo was definitely eating with his older brother and the others. The four siblings have such a good relationship that there's no reason for them to eat separately.

If brothers don't get along, it's one thing to separate and live their own lives, but these four siblings have such a good relationship, it would be abnormal for them to separate.

After dinner, Wang Xingguo borrowed Wang Yongchang's bicycle and went out.

The bicycle he's riding now was part of Li Xiuping's dowry; the tricycle was handed over to the transportation company back then, so it's no longer there.

Now he can use the truck whenever he wants, because both of the transporters are his cousins ​​and they have the keys to the truck.

However, he didn't need it, because he wasn't planning to bring back much stuff. Instead, Uncle Yongchang's bicycle, which used to be a purchasing agent's bicycle with baskets at the night market, was the most suitable for him to use tonight.

After 9 p.m., Wang Xingguo prepared 100 jin of japonica rice, 100 jin of wheat flour, 100 jin of cornmeal and 50 cans of luncheon meat, and brought them back to the security department office in two trips, only accepting 500 yuan in cash from them.

Chief Wang of the security department said excitedly, "Director Wang, thank you so much! Xiao Chen told us about it. Don't worry, if anything happens to your family in the future, we in the security department will definitely help protect them."

Wang Xingguo nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll have to trouble you. My job requires me to travel a lot all year round, so I can't take care of my family. I'll have to trouble you to keep an eye on things."

A group of security guards patted their chests and assured that they would definitely help take good care of the Wang family.

In fact, Wang Xingguo was making plans for the future, using some supplies to exchange for favors with the security department, in preparation for unforeseen circumstances.

In case he goes on a business trip in the future and someone enters the compound to cause trouble, the security personnel, who have received his favor, cannot stand idly by. This way, the safety of their families will be guaranteed.

He used to think that he was running a trust shop after the restructuring, and that having a bank gold and silver exchange point sign would be a strong protective umbrella, shielding everyone in the night market from the wind and rain.

However, the situation has changed. Now that he's in a classified unit, his wife and children are definitely safe, and no one will dare to touch them.

However, his elder brother and father-in-law's families might not be able to protect him.

Therefore, it is very necessary to be on good terms with these security personnel.

Just like when he used to cook and supplement his nutrition by going to the water, he never forgot the security personnel; everything was for the future, planning ahead.

Wang Xingguo brought back ten jin of eggs, ten jin of pork, fifty jin of flour, thirty jin of rice, and fifty jin of cornmeal to his home.

He brought back the grain and nutritional supplements, but he left the decision of how to distribute them to the others to Li Xiuping.

Since he will often be away on business trips in the future, he can have his wife do this favor for him, which will benefit both mother and son.

After thinking for a moment, Li Xiuping asked, "Xingguo, do you charge for that?"

Wang Xingguo laughed and said, "Silly wife, of course I have to take money, but not too much. You can keep whatever money you take; I don't care about these things."

Li Xiuping nodded and said, "Okay, I know what to do."

After saying this, Li Xiuping blushed slightly and whispered, "Xingguo, I missed you..."

Wang Xingguo paused for a moment, then chuckled. Seeing that his son was already asleep, he closed the door, picked up Li Xiuping, and carried her into the room.

It's time to try to have more children and contribute to the country!
