They drove to the car factory at noon. Nowadays, cars generally have a small load capacity, with the maximum load capacity being 18 tons.

Vehicles are generally designed with a very low rated load capacity. Whether or not a vehicle exceeds its rated load capacity depends on the owner's mood. As long as the owner doesn't care about damaging the vehicle, they can exceed the rated load capacity at will.

An 18-ton truck is not suitable for Dong Qing's current situation, and the truck bed is too deep and short, which does not meet his needs at all.

Porcelain goods are relatively lightweight, so an extended truck is needed to load them.

Dong Qing's current situation is that he needs to hire drivers to buy two cars. The key is that he doesn't want to hire unreliable drivers because they might sell their customers. Dong Qing has considered all these negative consequences, otherwise he would have hired drivers long ago.

After the winter celebration, there really won't be time to drive around. Now we have to buy a limousine so that Li Yuzhu and Su Wei can drive it without any problem.

Dong Qing eventually ordered a long-horsepower truck from the factory, with three rear axles and two front axles, and a rated load capacity of thirty-five tons.

Includes 1.6-meter-high sideboards and an original canvas canopy. For convenient rest while driving, a cab with a spacious sleeper berth in the back was specially ordered. One car can easily replace three tractors.

Customized cars are quite expensive; the factory quoted 330,000 RMB, a price that most people simply can't afford.

Such a large car was extremely rare in the 1980s. If it wasn't custom-made in the factory, you probably couldn't buy such a large vehicle even if you traveled all over the country.

Dong Qing asked, "I have one condition: when we take delivery of this tractor, can we leave it with your factory at depreciation?"

The factory manager said, "That's no problem. I'll give you a maximum discount of seven thousand yuan per tractor. Just leave them for me when you come to pick them up."

Seven thousand yuan is a lot for a vehicle. The first vehicle didn't lose money because it was also bought for seven thousand yuan. The second vehicle did lose money because the trailer was brand new.

The two tractors cost 14,000 yuan, but Dongqing isn't short of that money. He said, "If that's the price, then forget it. I'll just keep the tractors at home for now."

The factory manager said, "To be honest, I'd lose money if I bought it at this price and resold it. You might find it useful in the future if you keep it at home."

This used tractor is worth using but not worth selling, so Dongqing finally decided to keep it at home in the future.

During the negotiation, the factory finally agreed to order the car for 300,000 yuan.

Dong Qing said, "The price is something we agreed on. The trucks you manufacture in the future must meet my requirements for the trucks I ordered. These must be written in the contract. If they don't meet the requirements, I will deduct money from your payment."

The factory manager said, "Don't worry about that. No matter the price, as long as we agree to sell it to you, the quality and specifications of the car will absolutely not be compromised in the slightest. Whatever specifications you order, that's the exact specifications that will be manufactured."

Dong Qing said, "I'm relieved to hear that."

Dong Qing eventually bought the customized car for 300,000 yuan. He checked the contract and found no problems, then signed his name on it.

The contract is made in duplicate, one copy for the factory and one copy for Dongqing.

Dong Qing paid a deposit of 50,000 yuan. The factory did not have the parts or high-horsepower engine for the specially customized vehicle. It would take time to purchase the parts, and the vehicle was scheduled to be picked up a month later.

They got on the tractor and started driving from the car factory. They first went to a restaurant for lunch, then went to a gas station to fill up the tank, and then headed back.

They returned to their hometown to rest for a day, and the next day they drove to the porcelain factory to load goods.

Dong Qing and Su Wei were loading goods at the porcelain factory, while Li Yuzhu went to her parents' home to see her son.

When she returned to her parents' home, her younger brother was at school, her younger sister was at work, and her father had gone to work in the fields, leaving only her mother at home to take care of the children.

When Li Yuzhu's mother saw her walk into the house, she said, "You're back just in time. I talked to the village secretary yesterday about transferring your household registration back. Let's go, we'll transfer your registration back and put it on our household register before noon."

This terrible idea was suggested to my mother by my third aunt.

The day before yesterday, the two sisters were talking, and Li Yuzhu's aunt said, "Eldest sister, why doesn't your daughter want to find a partner after her divorce?"

The mother said, "That girl is still thinking about remarrying Dongqing."

"That girl is really foolish! I really can't see what's so good about Dongqing!" Auntie paused for a moment and said, "I have an idea. When she comes back to load goods next time, you should immediately transfer her household registration back. Without a household registration book, it will be difficult for her to remarry Dongqing."

Li Yuzhu had no idea about any of this. She said, "Why are you in such a hurry to transfer my household registration?"

The mother said, "You've been divorced for almost half a month. What's the point of keeping your household registration at his house? Move it back quickly. The production team is currently registering households. This autumn, there will be a large-scale land distribution, and our family will get an extra two mu of land."

Li Yuzhu had heard that her family's production team had distributed a lot of land this year, and she felt that what her mother said made sense. Everyone wanted to get two more acres of land, so she didn't think about it any other way after hearing her mother's words.

However, she didn't want to transfer her household registration to her parents' home, thinking it would be too troublesome. After remarrying Dongqing, she would have to transfer it back anyway, so transferring her household registration would be redundant.

Her mother almost knelt down to beg for her, but she couldn't resist her mother's insistence and rode her motorcycle with her mother towards Dongcun.

When I arrived at the Dongcun village office around 9 a.m., I learned that Li Yuzhu and Dong Qing had already divorced. As long as she was willing to transfer her household registration, the procedures were easy to handle, and the village issued her a household registration transfer certificate.

She arrived at the local police station on her motorcycle with her proof of residence. Her mother presented the household registration transfer documents, and the staff at the household registration office smoothly processed her household registration transfer. From then on, Li Yuzhu was no longer a villager of Dongcun.

Before 11 a.m., under pressure from her mother, Li Yuzhu transferred her household registration to her parents' household registration book.

Two days later, Li Yuzhu finally realized that her mother's transfer of her household registration was a pretense; her real intention was to use the household registration book to control her and prevent her from remarrying Dong Qing. By then, it was too late; her mother had completely trapped her.

A week later, when she went back to her parents' home to buy goods, her mother left the child at home and went to help her father in the fields. Li Yuzhu searched the whole house but couldn't find the household registration book.

While I was searching, my mother stood behind me and said, "What are you looking for in the house?"

Her mother walked very quietly, and Li Yuzhu didn't hear her return at all. When she heard her mother speak, she was startled. She said, "Are you trying to scare your daughter to death? You should know what I'm looking for."

The mother said, "Don't bother. I can't possibly keep the household registration book at home. Now you should know why I'm in such a hurry to transfer your household registration back, right? It's because I'm afraid you'll remarry Dongqing behind my back."

With tears in her eyes, Li Yuzhu said, "No one understands me better than my own mother. I admit defeat, okay? Losing to my own mother isn't shameful!"

After saying that, Li Yuzhu ran out of the house and headed towards the porcelain factory.

A week later, when Li Yuzhu went to the porcelain factory to load goods, she went back to her parents' home to see her son. Her mother, Yuci, forced Li Yuzhu to meet Sun Hao for the second time. In the end, she could not resist her mother and rode her motorcycle to her aunt's house for a second blind date with her mother and son.
