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

The next day, Wang Xingguo returned to the yard that used to be a warehouse, keeping only a portion of the grain and canned goods and releasing the rest.

Wang Xingye was sent to drive 5,000 jin of flour, 5,000 jin of rice, and 1,500 cans of food back to the compound. Each person in the compound was limited to purchasing 5 jin of food, calculated at 5 mao per jin, which was 2 yuan per can. Each household was limited to purchasing 7 cans.

The remaining grain and canned goods were also given to the subdistrict office at this price.

Director Zhao was stunned by this windfall, but also incredibly excited. He immediately submitted an application, brought the grain and canned goods back to the street office, and began to calculate how to distribute these items.

Once Wang Xingguo took the money, he stopped caring about how to distribute the money and stayed home to spend time with his wife and children.

Nothing happened, and the supplies were claimed by the troops.

After spending three days at home with his family, Wang Xingguo went on another mission to escort the supplies he had brought back to Guangzhou to Malan Farm.

There's a lot of stuff, enough for ten train cars. The old boss is probably a bit angry, so Wang Xingguo has to work overtime again...

Of course, Wang Xingguo knew without even guessing that it was something that had caused him to have to clean up his mess, which led to him working overtime this time.

He needed to escort the supplies to Daheyan and then be specifically responsible for transferring them from Daheyan to Malan Farm.

Winters in the Gobi Desert are quite cold, with daytime temperatures only reaching two or three degrees Celsius, and nighttime temperatures dropping to minus ten or twenty degrees Celsius. Therefore, everyone needs to wear thick cotton-padded clothes and trousers.

Wang Xingguo was a little frustrated because he needed to store enough supplies to get through the sandstorms in March and April, so he had to work overtime for a long time.

With so many people on the farm, the amount of supplies consumed daily is enormous, and transporting them over is so difficult, so he needs to stay on the riverbank for a long time.

He knew this was punishment for his recklessness, so despite his frustration, he still had to do his job well, otherwise he might not even be able to go home for the New Year.

There are enough supplies at home, so there's no need to worry. But if I'm away on a business trip for such a long time, I'm afraid my son won't even recognize me as his father anymore.

On December 16th, the train arrived at Daheyan. After Wang Xingguo met with the people there, he directed the soldiers to load supplies onto the train, as the farm was waiting for rice to be cooked.

The convoy of thirty vehicles only carried two railcars of supplies. It would take Wang Xingguo more than ten days to transport all the goods for this one train.

There are actually quite a few cars here, but the demand for construction vehicles is even higher, and we also need to transport water and daily necessities to nearby cities, so the supply of transport vehicles is very tight.

When they arrived in Malan Town, Wang Xingguo was exhausted. Chief of Staff Song came over to hand over the duties to him.

Wang Xingguo glared at Chief of Staff Song. This thick-browed, big-eyed scoundrel got himself drunk and forced to work overtime; he was no good.

Chief of Staff Song put his arm around Wang Xingguo's shoulder and said cheerfully, "Little Wang, are you hungry? Come with me to get some food, we'll eat our fill before we get back to work."

Wang Xingguo sneered, "Heh, forget it, I'm afraid you'll sell me out again."

Chief of Staff Song laughed and said, "Oh, Xiao Wang, don't be like that. Everyone knows you've been in charge of transporting supplies lately. This time it's not that we made you work overtime, so don't take it out on us."

(Please remember the website 20 ...

Wang Xingguo pursed his lips, not wanting to pay any attention to Chief of Staff Song.

He's petty; he has to remember how these guys tricked him, so he won't get tricked by them again.

However, Chief of Staff Song shamelessly dragged Wang Xingguo along, insisting that they drink the liquor from his bag together. Wang Xingguo couldn't break free even if he tried, because Chief of Staff Song simply ordered two soldiers to carry him to the mess hall...

Meanwhile, at the Wang family home, Li Xiuping was teaching Wang Jianhua to speak.

She asked softly and gently, "Son, do you miss your father?"

Unfortunately, although Wang Jianhua is already thirteen months old, he still cannot understand his mother's words.

However, Wang Jianhua is considered to be developing very well; he can already call out "grandpa" and "aunt" and "uncle".

Upon hearing Li Xiuping mention her father, he cheerfully replied, "Dad~"

Li Xiuping smiled and said, "Yes, you're not grown up yet, how could you miss your father? But Mommy misses your father so much..."

Since receiving that batch of grain, Director Zhao couldn't keep much of it; most of it was taken by higher-level departments.

However, the remaining food and canned goods were enough for him to support the edema patients in the neighborhood committee and families in particularly difficult circumstances.

With this burden lifted, Director Zhao finally breathed a sigh of relief and stopped looking gloomy all the time.

After get off work, he went to the Wang family's house, held Wang Jianhua and played with him for a while before going back to his own home.

His two grandsons, one was seven years old and already in school, and the other was three years old and had a robust, chubby face.

Fortunately, there is Li Xiuping, because she always includes the two children in her nutritional supplements. It doesn't matter whether the adults eat them or not, but she always remembers to feed Director Zhao's two grandsons.

Shen Qingqing came home from get off work. Li Xiuping helped Wang Cheng'an down and said with some concern, "Sister-in-law, I'll take care of Cheng'an at home from now on. You're pregnant with your second child now, so you can't carry Cheng'an to work like this."

Shen Qingqing hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright then, I'll have my mom come over more often to help take care of the child. Thank you, Xiuping."

Li Xiuping hugged Wang Chengan and shook her head, saying, "We're all family, sister-in-law, why say such formal things?"

Even so, Shen Qingqing knew that she ultimately owed Wang Xingguo and Li Xiuping a great deal.

It's their business if the brothers are united and work together, but as the eldest sister-in-law, she has to work every day and does much less housework, so she can't ignore Li Xiuping's contributions.

The two siblings were cooking in the kitchen when Wang Xingning peeked into the living room and said, "Sister-in-law, why isn't my brother back yet? Dinner's all ready. Is he going to have to work overtime tonight?"

Shen Qingqing replied, "Probably not. The cold weather will only reduce the workload; overtime is rarely required."

It would be understandable if it were another factory, but the wire factory is really different; Wang Xingbang did work overtime.

Wang Xingbang hadn't returned by seven o'clock, so they left him some food, and then they started eating. One of them was pregnant, and the other was breastfeeding; they couldn't let him go hungry while waiting for him to come home from get off work.

Wang Xingbang didn't get off work until 8:30.

While eating dinner, he said to everyone, "Our factory will be working overtime soon, so please don't wait for me for dinner. I have a very urgent task to complete, and I may need to work overtime until nine or ten o'clock at night."

Li Xiuping asked in confusion, "Brother, you didn't work overtime much last winter, so why are you working overtime this year?"

After thinking for a moment, Wang Xingbang said in a low voice, "It must be for building a secret unit, which is why our factory is working overtime to produce wires so urgently. Anyway, you don't need to worry. Just eat when it's time to eat, don't wait for me to come back."
