Starting from the Year 1960

Li Xu traveled to the year 1960. In this era, which he had never seen before and only heard about in books and from elders, the only thing he could do was ensure his family had enough to eat and li...

Chapter 279 Mission

Even Du Hong and Du Feng agreed, "That's right, finding him a job is better than anything else. What's more, it's not a problem for him, and he can also marry a wife who is good in every way. This is definitely a good thing."

They both heard what happened clearly and now have no objections at all.

For Du Sen, perhaps he needs this kind of daughter-in-law to control him.

So Li Xu said happily, "Xiao Sen, congratulations."

"Yes, congratulations." Du Feng and his sister echoed.

Hearing the three people's congratulations, Du Sen smiled so hard that his back teeth were exposed.

Everyone chatted for a while before Li Xu said goodbye and left.

the next day.

While having breakfast, Li Xu told his family about Du Sen's situation.

Everyone in the Li family was stunned.

After a moment of silence, Li Jiakang showed sympathy, "Xiao Sen, this kid will suffer in the future."

"Don't talk nonsense. That kid was laughing happily yesterday." Li Xu said quickly.

At this time, Li Chen hung his head and asked in great frustration, "Second brother, will he not be able to come over and play with us in the future?"

Li Xu turned around and saw that Li Ju also looked dejected.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Du Sen can still come over to play with you before you get married, but the frequency will definitely decrease. Little sister, I will play with you after get off work in the future."

There's nothing we can do about it.

Du Sen is engaged now, we can't let him play like a child, right?

After hearing this, the two of them looked a little better.

Sun Xiu warned Li Chen again, "Third brother, don't just play around. If your grades continue to be like this, think about the consequences."

"Yes, yes, I understand. I will definitely study hard." Li Chen said quickly.

Everyone nodded and continued eating breakfast.

...

More than a month passed in the blink of an eye.

The eldest brother of the Du family did not come back.

Instead, he sent back a letter saying that he had been approved to serve beyond his term.

Now everyone in the Du family breathed a sigh of relief.

Du Sen is now very happy every day.

Apart from going to Li's house to play with Li Ju, he would go to Qi Wen's house to learn boxing.

Of course, the conditions are not sufficient now, and people don’t dare to really teach, for fear of hurting their bodies.

Just teach him some basic moves and let him play with them on his own.

This alone can keep him happy for a long time.

If anyone tells him that finding a wife early is not a good idea, he will definitely spit in their face...

This day.

Li Xu, who came to the car team, received an important message.

It is said that the previous policy promotion of high-priced goods was good, so the higher-ups have stepped up their efforts.

This time, we will promote these bicycles in rural areas, and stop selling them at low prices in cities.

After listening to this, Li Xu smacked his lips and said, "It's not easy to accomplish this. We need to send people to the countryside to promote it. Given the current situation, only people with bicycles will be willing to go."

He understood that this was because the higher-ups wanted to increase the amount of money being withdrawn.

You should know that in the past, the main consumers of bicycles were in cities.

Although there are many rich people in the countryside, they cannot get bicycle tickets.

Even though the high-price policy has been implemented for more than a month, few people in rural areas know about it.

After all, they don't usually come to the city.

In other words, now is the time when grain is returned for sale, and some city dwellers might say this casually when they go to the countryside to borrow grain.

The most difficult part of promoting it in rural areas is getting people to go there.

But everyone is hungry now, who is willing to run around the countryside to publicize this?

Liu Gang shook his head with amusement. "Even people who have bicycles might not be willing to go. Our county is already a populous one with many production teams. Riding a bicycle for more than ten days might not be enough. No one can bear it."

Come to think of it, it's true. Li Xu grinned and said, "The director and the others will have a headache. No matter who is chosen, they will definitely not be willing."

Liu Gang frowned. "Whether she's in pain or not is none of our business. But if we're not allowed to sell bicycles at the same price, doesn't that mean those with bicycle tickets can't buy them?"

"It won't have much of an impact. The fact that the higher authorities want to fully publicize this news to rural areas shows that bicycle production is absolutely sufficient. Even if we can't sell affordable bikes for the time being, it will definitely recover in a few months at most."

"I hope so." Liu Gang sighed.

The two chatted for quite a while, and then Director Shen Yuan asked them to attend a meeting.

Everyone in the car team was walking on the road, guessing what the meeting would be about.

When we arrived at the meeting place, we found that there were already quite a few people standing there.

And they are all logistics and procurement personnel.

Li Xu's face changed, and he whispered, "That's it. Those who came here are relatively free people. Maybe this time they want us to go to the countryside to promote our work."

When the people around heard this, they all frowned.

To be honest, no one wants to do this hard job.

Master Qi said quietly, "Everyone will act according to the situation later."

Everyone nodded.

Not long after, the director walked to the front of the crowd and said loudly, "Comrades, I believe you all know the new policy issued today. We are required to go to the countryside to publicize it. Now is the time to contribute to the country. Are you willing?"

"Yes." everyone shouted.

Li Xu felt very helpless.

I didn't expect the director could come up with this idea.

Once this reason is given, who can refuse?

Hearing everyone's response, the director showed a satisfied look on his face. "I knew you were good comrades, and you didn't disappoint me. Now, comrades with bicycles, please stand to my left, and the rest of you, please stay where you are."

More than ten people walked out of the crowd and stood on the director's left.

Two veterans from the car team also walked over.

After they were standing in place, the director continued, "There are many production teams in Tang County, some are far away and some are close, so please ask those comrades with bicycles to go to the farther places, and the rest to go to the closer places;

Director Shen, please bring up the list of production teams in the county, and explain the requirements to everyone so that they know how to select them.

After she finished speaking, she left immediately, and Shen Yuan walked forward with a piece of paper.

He explained the requirements and then asked everyone to come forward and choose where they wanted to go.

Li Xu, Su Weidong and Xiao Jianping were young and didn't know how to get around in many places, so they were led by their respective masters.

After the selection was completed, everyone dispersed.

Back at the car team, Master Song sighed, "I don't know who came up with this idea, but they're even using us."

"Is there any need to ask? It must have come from a beast." An old master cursed directly.

Liu Gang waved his hand. "Alright, there's no point in talking so much now. Let's eat something first, and then get back to work. Maybe we can still make it back before the end of the day."

This run lasted all day.

If I don't eat something now, I'll have a hard time getting through the afternoon.

Everyone looked at each other, then returned to their cars to eat.

After finishing their meal, Li Xu and the other person headed straight out of the city.
