Red Star Rolling Mill.
" I hereby announce that Li Shengguo from the Ministry of Transportation has been awarded the title of 'Outstanding Worker' for two consecutive years. He has made outstanding contributions to the factory and is rewarded with a bicycle ticket. I hope that the majority of the workers can learn from him..."
Accompanied by a slightly electric horn, the sweet words of the announcer, Yu Haitang, spread throughout the entire rolling mill.
"I hereby announce…"
The voice repeated three times before it finally stopped.
However, the impact of this news on the rolling mill was no less than a heavy bomb.
"It's a bicycle ticket? The factory only had four spots a year.”
"That's right! This Li Shengguo is too lucky!"
"A ticket can be sold for more than 100 yuan in Pigeon City!”
"Ah! "If I had known earlier, I would have…" A blue-robed worker could not hide his envy.
In this era of material scarcity, a bicycle was equivalent to a Porsche in the future. It was fashionable and eye-catching. It was a symbol of wealth and status. Wherever it went, people would look up to it.
"Ha! If I had known earlier, would you have learned from Li Shengguo?" The worker beside him sneered.
"Li Shengguo has been in the factory for two years. His driving skills are excellent. There has never been an accident when transporting steel. The safe driving rules he proposed have reduced many accidents in the entire fleet.”
"Hey! Sigh! Am I joking? How can I compare to him?"
The blue worker scratched his head and smiled, but he was thinking in his heart.
Not only was Li Shengguo good at driving, but he was also highly regarded by the leaders. Every year, he was rated as an 'excellent worker', and now he was even rewarded with a bicycle ticket by the factory.
"I wonder if he's married. By the way, do you know where he lives? I have a daughter who's almost eighteen."
As soon as he said this, the workers present understood his thoughts.
Li Shengguo was such a good stock, so he naturally wanted to become in-laws.
Immediately, the surrounding people teased him and said that he was cunning.
But after laughing, the workers started talking again.
"I heard that they are from the same compound as Widow Qin and the others.”
"I don't think they're married yet. Old Liu, hurry up.”
" It's a pity that my Bao 'er is too young…" A worker also had a thought.
The blue-shirted worker snickered when he heard that, but he made up his mind to stop Li Shengguo after work. He had to let him and his daughter go out first.
While all the workers were envious, there were also a few people who had different thoughts.
In the first workshop.
Qin Huairu was stunned when she heard the news. She felt very conflicted.
She regretted being blind and marrying that trash Jia Dongxu.
A few years ago, Jia Dongxu died from a work-related injury.
He had died so easily, leaving her to suffer. Not only did she have to raise a few children, but she also had to take care of her unruly mother-in-law, Jia Zhangshi. If she had married someone like Li Shengguo, she would not have to suffer now.
"Li Shengguo isn't a good person either. He hasn't helped me in the past few years.”Qin Huairu thought sourly.
Yi Zhonghai was also in the same workshop. When he heard the news, his face darkened.
Li Shengguo was a talent! He had seen through it long ago.
In the past few years, he had wanted to develop Li Shengguo into a retirement tool.
But Li Shengguo ignored him, which made him hate him.
"Humph! Why do you have to drink the hard way…"
……
On the other side.
Li Shengguo was very happy after receiving the bicycle ticket.
After transmigrating to this era where resources were scarce, life was inconvenient, and he had even become a member of the " Qin Man Siheyuan ". He did not care about these things.
But what he couldn't stand was the outdated traffic.
In an era where everything depended on one's legs, it was too difficult to travel far away. He had never even left Beijing before.
This was unacceptable to him, who yearned for freedom and loved to stroll around.
Fortunately, he had finally completed his small goal today and obtained a bicycle.
"Congratulations, Shengguo. Are you planning to buy a bicycle today?”
"Definitely? Shengguo has been thinking about it for a long time."
"Do you have enough money? If it's not enough, just tell us."
A few truck drivers surrounded Li Shengguo and congratulated him sincerely. They were all Li Shengguo's good friends.
Li Shengguo shook his head and smiled." I appreciate everyone's kindness. I've already prepared the money. I've been waiting for today."”
The factory's leader had already informed him that he had prepared the money and was waiting to pick up the car after work.
The few workers congratulated him again.
After some small talk, the radio rang. It was the bell for the end of work.
Li Shengguo said goodbye to his colleagues and walked out of the rolling mill quickly, disappointing the old fathers who were trying to promote their daughters.
Li Shengguo walked out of the rolling mill and went straight to the sales building.
It was peak hour, and there was an endless stream of pedestrians on the road.
Most of the workers were wearing blue overalls, with a mix of styled suspenders. From time to time, there would be people in Chinese tunic suits riding bicycles passing by, attracting the attention of passers-by.
Nowadays, bicycles were not rare, but they were indeed a treasure.
Li Shengguo went to the sales building and found a bicycle shop.
"Comrade, I want to buy a bicycle."
At the counter, Li Shengguo handed over his bicycle ticket with a smile.
The salesperson was a petite short-haired girl with a few freckles on her face.
She was stunned when she saw Li Shengguo.
She was surprised by his handsomeness and was also surprised that he could buy a bicycle at his age.
In the past, all the people who came to buy bicycles were of a higher grade.
"Eh? Comrade, wait a moment."
The salesperson came back to her senses and took the bicycle ticket.
After verifying it, she nodded. Yes, it was true.
"Comrade, what kind of bicycle do you want to buy? We have the Flying Pigeon brand, the Permanent brand, and the Phoenix brand is temporarily out of stock…"
After verifying the authenticity of the bicycle ticket, the salesperson instantly became enthusiastic.
She explained the various types of bicycles as if they were her family's treasures, and from time to time, she would peek at Li Shengguo with a smile.
He was tall, handsome, and had his own car at such a young age. She was very satisfied…
"Comrade, I want the permanent card."
Li Shengguo didn't notice anything wrong. He took out a wad of money, a total of 178 yuan. He had done his homework.
Yongjiu's 28-bar bicycle was sturdy and durable, and it had a large load capacity. It was the best bicycle in this era.
In his previous life, he also had a Yongjiu 28 car, which was passed down from his grandfather's generation. It took all the happiness of his childhood. This was all feelings!
"Yes, comrade."
The salesperson didn't say anything else and nodded as she took the money.
Five minutes later.
Li Shengguo pushed the brand-new two or eight poles out of the sales building.
Behind him, the salesgirl's face was red. She stretched out her hand shyly a few times, but in the end, she did not dare to say what was on her mind.
After leaving the sales building, Li Shengguo went to the car management department to pay two yuan to get a license plate and stamp it. This was a feature of this era, so he had to do it.
Half an hour later, Li Shengguo rode his bicycle back to the courtyard.
Along the way, the brand-new bicycle attracted envious gazes from passers-by, which made Li Shengguo in a good mood.
After returning to the courtyard, he got out of the car and pushed the cart to the backyard.
His home was there.
In the middle court.
Jia Zhang-shi was squatting in the courtyard doing laundry, but her pair of eyes sneakily glanced outside, as if waiting for something.
Finally, her eyes lit up when she saw Li Shengguo approaching with his bicycle.
"Aiya! It hurts! My leg, someone, Li Shengguo hit someone, Li Shengguo hit someone…"
Just as Li Shengguo was pushing his bicycle past, Jia Zhangshi took advantage of the situation and fell under the bicycle's wheels.
"My leg! Li Shengguo, you son of a b * tch, you hit someone…"
Jia Zhang-shi's wrinkled face scrunched up into a ball, and her curled up left leg trembled a few times as if it was spasming, demonstrating what real acting was.
