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

Liu Weidong put his things down, greeted everyone, and when he saw Li Xiuping bringing out the dishes, he quickly said, "Sister-in-law, you've worked hard. Let me help too."

Li Xiuping smiled and said, "No need, no need, Weidong, please sit down. Dinner will be served soon."

Wang Xingguo beckoned, and Liu Weidong quickly went over, sat down, and then got up again to pour drinks for everyone.

After having a drink together, Wang Xingguo asked, "Weidong, tomorrow you need to arrange a transport team to go to the farm, pick up a batch of pigs, and then send them to the cannery to be canned."

Liu Weidong nodded repeatedly and said, "I understand. Director Li also mentioned this today and plans to arrange for a transportation team to pick it up. I'll follow up on this tomorrow."

Chen Dajun asked with concern, "Weidong, is that medicine working for you?"

Liu Weidong smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Brother Chen. This medicine is very effective. My rheumatism has been greatly relieved after using it, and at least walking is much easier now."

"If it's useful, that's good. I'm just afraid it won't be useful."

At this moment, Wang Xingbang spoke up: "Weidong, you're not young anymore, it's time to find someone and settle down."

Speaking of this, Wang Xingguo asked curiously, "Wei Dong, are you dating Wei Hong?"

Liu Weidong blushed and shook his head, saying, "No, that's not true. I don't have those feelings for Weihong. It's just that I report to you a lot on work, so we have a lot of contact."

Wang Xingguo laughed and said, "You have nothing to be embarrassed about. Men should marry when they are of age and women should marry when they are of age. If you like someone, go for it. It's good to settle down early. The main thing is that not settling down makes you seem a bit immature."

Liu Weidong scratched his head, a little embarrassed, and said, "Brother, I really don't have those feelings for Wei Hong. But I do think Xu Jiajia is quite nice, and I'm currently getting to know her. I don't know if she'll mind my leg problem..."

Xu Jiajia was also someone who was forced into the job, but unexpectedly Liu Weidong took a liking to her.

Wang Xingguo said helplessly, "Wei Dong, I won't say much about the other girls, but you really have no chance with Xu Jiajia."

Liu Weidong was taken aback and asked, puzzled, "Brother, why do you say that?"

Wang Xingguo explained, "Xu Jiajia has a boyfriend, but he's in the military and won't be back for another year, so you don't have a chance. She's been waiting for him to come back these past few years."

Liu Weidong was a little disappointed, but there was nothing he could do; this was something that couldn't be forced.

He nodded and said, "I understand. I won't bother her anymore."

Wang Jianhua comforted him, "Uncle Liu, there are plenty of fish in the sea. You'll definitely find someone better!"

Grandpa Lin flicked Wang Jianhua on the forehead and scolded him with a laugh, "You brat, where did you learn these kinds of things? Don't learn such nonsense."

Wang Jianhua covered his head and laughed, "Great-Grandpa, it was my eldest brother who said that, why are you hitting me?"

Wang Cheng'an's eyes widened in disbelief. "No way, Second Brother, you actually betrayed me? Are you even my brother anymore?!"

Wang Jianhua chuckled: "How could it not be? Brothers are like limbs, if I get scolded, shouldn't you stand up for me a little?"

It has to be said that Wang Jianhua has inherited some of Wang Xingguo's personality traits; he's also a bit of a rascal.

"Kids, stop playing, wash your hands and it's time to eat."

As soon as Li Xiuping's voice rang out, the children ran to wash their hands. Wang Xingguo and the others had already been drinking, so they didn't need to wash their hands.

Although it was Li Xiuping's birthday, she still wanted to cook a few dishes herself, so she didn't refrain from doing anything just because it was her birthday.

Of course, most of the dishes were made by Chef Lao Yang. Although Grandpa Lin called him Xiao Yang, he was actually two years older than Wang Xingbang.

Wang Xingmin was happily having dinner with his family when, suddenly, Li Xiuping asked, "Xingmin, when are you going to bring your girlfriend home so we can meet her?"

Shen Qingqing chimed in, "That's right. I heard from Lian Sheng that you're not dating anyone yet? You're already twenty-two, it's time to find someone and settle down."

Wang Xingning said with a smile, "Fourth brother, how about your third sister introduces you to someone? Your brother-in-law has a cousin who is quite pretty, but her job is a bit lacking. To avoid being sent to the countryside, she can only get a job in a small factory under the jurisdiction of the street office through connections."

Wang Xingmin felt a little awkward. He was enjoying his meal when suddenly everyone started pressuring him to get married...

Even Grandpa Lin said to Li Xiuping, "Second daughter, it seems that Old Yu's family next door has a granddaughter who doesn't have a boyfriend yet. Why don't you introduce her to Xingmin?"

Li Xiuping nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, I'll go visit them later. Old Yu's granddaughter is very pretty and would be a good match for Xingmin."

Wang Xingmin doesn't mind blind dates, because he's always busy at work and there are no unmarried female colleagues in his department, so he hardly has any chance to meet girls.

As for classmates and friends, they are all a bit distant from him because of work.

Of all the students in his class, he was the only one assigned to Shijiazhuang Iron and Steel Group, and the only person he knew there was Lian Sheng.

Moreover, Lien Sheng is now his superior's superior, and Wang Xingmin even suspects that he was assigned here because of Lien Sheng.

He was right!

Because Lian Sheng was also keeping an eye on his childhood friend's situation, when he learned that Wang Xingmin was about to graduate, he actually asked someone to put in a good word and get him a job at Shijiazhuang Iron and Steel Group, thinking of taking care of him.

Lian Sheng's father had made many contributions and worked in a classified research unit, where he didn't care about anything else and focused solely on research.

Therefore, his father took care of many people and was regarded as a person by both the left and the right. As a result, his father was not sent to the countryside or affected by the situation, and continued to work normally.

Because of his father, Lian Sheng was not affected, and the people from the Revolutionary Committee there did not dare to touch him.

After the meal, the children went out to play again. Unlike when they first moved here, now that they attend the school for children of employees, they have made many friends of the same age and spend all day playing with their classmates in the playground of the compound.

Their compound has public facilities such as a football field, basketball court, badminton court, and table tennis court, which are the places the children love to run around in.

Liu Weidong said goodbye; he needed to get some sleep so he could arrange to transport the pigs to exchange for canned food the next day.

The phone rang, and Shen Qingqing answered it. After cheerfully saying a few words and hanging up, she turned to Wang Xingning and said, "Grandpa Chen is urging you to go home. He said he can't sleep if he can't see Yongwu."

Wang Xingning smiled helplessly, then got up and said goodbye to Chen Dajun, leaving with Chen Yongwu.

Wang Xingguo saw them off at the door, and as he watched their departing figures, he couldn't help but sigh.

As they all grew up, they had less and less time to get together. The four siblings had always had a good relationship, but they each had their own lives and became more and more separated.
