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

After getting off work, Wang Xingguo rode his bicycle to Sun Jianshe's house. When he was almost there, he took out a piece of pork weighing more than ten kilograms and put it in the basket in front of his bicycle.

At this time, Sun Jianshe's house was bustling with activity, with people constantly going in and moving tables, chairs, benches, and other items.

Sun Jianshe was very proud of himself, calling out to everyone and directing others to do their work.

"It's already past six, when will Brother Wang arrive?"

"Yeah, Lao Sun, you're not kidding us, are you?"

Sun Jianshe laughed and said, "What's the rush? It'll take Brother Wang half an hour to ride over. You all know how busy Brother Wang is. He usually doesn't even have time to rest. It's already great that he can come to our gathering. Everyone, just wait patiently."

Jiang Haiyang laughed and said, "That's right, let's wait patiently. It's already a great favor that they were able to invite this big shot over once."

Yu Weiguo asked, "By the way, is the food we prepared a bit lacking? If it's not up to par, will Brother Wang be dissatisfied and feel that we've neglected him?"

Sun Jianshe waved his hand and said, "No, absolutely not. From what I know, Brother Wang isn't the kind of person who cares about such formalities. We'll just toast him more later. I've heard that Brother Wang has a very high alcohol tolerance, so we'd better keep him company."

"Old Sun, Chef Liu has already prepared all the dishes. Should we bring them out and set them off now, or bring them out later?"

"Let's wait until Brother Wang arrives before serving the dishes. There's no reason to serve dishes before the guests have arrived."

"Okay."

In the Sun family's courtyard, there were more than a dozen tables set up. No one expected so many people to come; more than a hundred people gathered there.

Even the local police station was alerted. With so many people gathered together, it's hard not to worry that something might happen.

So the police station sent someone over to inquire about the situation.

The young people here are quite arrogant, but they toned it down a bit when facing the police and gave an explanation.

After hearing the explanation, the police officers from the local station told them not to cause trouble and to keep an eye on the drunk people so they wouldn't cause any trouble late at night.

After seeing the police officers off, Sun Jianshe curled his lip and said, "What business is it of theirs if we're drinking? They're really meddling!"

Zhang Guoqing laughed and said, "They're just doing their job. What's there to say? If Brother Wang heard this, he'd criticize you for not being very conscious of your actions."

Sun Jianshe chuckled and said, "No way! Everyone knows I, Sun Jianshe, have high moral character and am always eager to improve!"

Everyone laughed and teased Sun Jianshe.

Around 6:30, Sun Jianshe led a group of outstanding people, peering out from the doorway.

Only when he saw Wang Xingguo riding his bicycle did Sun Jianshe breathe a sigh of relief, and he quickly waved and called out, "Brother Wang, over here! Over here!"

Upon hearing Sun Jianshe's voice, Wang Xingguo rode over. As soon as he stopped his bicycle, he smiled and said, "I'm not very familiar with this area. I wandered around for a while before finding my way here. Sorry to keep you waiting."

"No, no, Brother Wang, you've arrived just in time."

"Brother Wang, my name is Zhang Guoqing, it's nice to meet you."

"Brother Wang, my name is Wen Xiangdong. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Sun Jianshe ran over and took the bicycle. Wang Xingguo smiled and shook hands with the group of young people. The atmosphere was very warm. The young people crowded around to shake hands with Wang Xingguo and introduce themselves.

Wang Xingguo patiently shook hands with them, but it just kept going on and on because the people inside also came out to shake hands and introduce themselves.

It was only when everyone realized that things were getting out of hand that they suggested stopping the handshake and letting Wang Xingguo into the courtyard to discuss the matter further.

Wang Xingguo was surrounded by a crowd as he entered the courtyard, treated like a star surrounded by the moon.

Everyone welcomed him to the main table, and Sun Jianshe began to direct people to serve the dishes. He also had someone take the pork that Wang Xingguo had brought and have Chef Liu slice and stir-fry it to add to the dishes.

It has to be said that this group of people has some money. Wang Xingguo's two hundred yuan could not buy chicken, duck, fish, pork, beef and mutton to fill so many tables.

It wasn't that Sun Jianshe paid for it all by himself; rather, everyone felt that it shouldn't be too shabby, as that would be too embarrassing, so they pooled their money to buy the dishes and even hired a cook from the alley to come and prepare the meal.

After Wang Xingguo sat down, Sun Jianshe started opening bottles of wine and pouring it for him. People would come over every now and then to greet Wang Xingguo.

Wang Xingguo knew he was influential among the younger generation, but he didn't expect it to be this big. He originally thought that a few dozen people would be good enough, but he didn't expect more than a hundred people to come.

You should know that not just anyone can come; only someone who is leading a team is qualified to attend this meal.

As the dishes were served and the drinks poured, Sun Jianshe stood up and said loudly, "Everyone, it's a pleasure to be here with you all today. Let's give a warm welcome to Brother Wang, who has taken time out of his busy schedule to come. Let's all raise a toast to Brother Wang!"

"Welcome, Brother Wang!"

"Brother Jingwang!"

Everyone raised their glasses, and Wang Xingguo smiled, raised his glass to everyone, and then drank it down in one gulp.

After he put down his wine glass, he stood up, looked around at everyone, and they all quieted down.

Wang Xingguo said, "Thank you all for your warm hospitality. I'm very happy to meet you all. Actually, I've wanted to meet and chat with you all for a long time, but I've always been very busy with work and haven't had much time. Now that I've been transferred to be the director of the security department, I finally have some free time and have the opportunity to meet with you all."

"From now on, if you're ever passing by my workplace, feel free to stop by for a smoke and a chat. You're always welcome. But please, give me some face and don't make things difficult for me, the head of security. If you guys don't give me face, I, as the older brother, will lose face big time."

"No way! We have to respect Brother Wang's feelings; we absolutely must give him face!"

"That's right, we must give Brother Wang face. Don't worry, my brothers in that area will definitely not cause Brother Wang any trouble in the future."

"Yes, yes, I will also tell my men not to interfere with Brother Wang's work."

"To slap Brother Wang in the face is to slap the face of our entire generation. I absolutely will not agree to this!"

Everyone expressed their support, and Wang Xingguo picked up his glass of wine, smiling as he said, "Alright, I'll see. Come on, let me toast everyone to thank you for your support and understanding!"

Everyone raised their glasses and drank them down in one gulp. Wang Xingguo then sat down.

Everyone warmly invited Wang Xingguo to eat and drink some wine. Wang Xingguo smiled and nodded, then picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

In reality, Sun Jianshe is no better than anyone else at this table. They only give him face because it's his home and he invited Wang Xingguo.

Otherwise, Sun Jianshe would only be a second-tier figure and wouldn't be qualified to sit at this table at all.
