Chapter 258 Going to the Factory



"Oh, then I'll wait for your good news. Mua~" Lou Xiao'e planted a hard kiss on Wang Shouren's neck.

There's really no need for that. Nowadays, Wang Shouren would be embarrassed to go out without wearing a scarf.

Now, the three women each have their own tacit understanding.

We'll spend the Lunar New Year together.

At a certain time, for example, when Wang Shouren was going to the factory, that time belonged to Qin Jingru.

For example, if Wang Shouren were to go to Qin Family Village, then that time would be Qin Huairu's.

Finally, if he were to go to Hong Kong or abroad, then this period would belong to Lou Xiao'e.

All three women were very clear-headed. They understood that if they really had nothing to do, they might become anxious and insecure. People tend to have problems when they have too much free time.

The two planned to sneak out without alerting the two children.

The two younger kids are on winter break right now, and they never seem to stop for a moment.

As soon as I stepped outside, I encountered an old man practicing Tai Chi.

"Grandpa, still fighting?" Wang Shouren asked cheerfully.

"What's wrong? You've wasted your time? This won't do," an old man said earnestly.

Compared to the slow practice of an older man, Wang Shouren was directly nourished by the system, even his body was strengthened, so he didn't need to practice every day. However, he still practiced a set of techniques from time to time. People who don't practice martial arts would never understand the feeling of clearly sensing a surge of heat flowing through their bodies.

After the workout, I felt incredibly refreshed.

"No, no, I'll do it on a specific day, on a specific day."

"Okay, it's good that it's not abandoned. There's breakfast inside that your aunt and aunt bought. Have some before you go."

"Alright!"

The two ran into the middle room again, where they found the same signature dishes: soy milk, fried liver, fried dough sticks, and fermented mung bean juice. It wasn't too greasy for such a early morning meal. The fried dough sticks were still crispy, freshly fried. The people in this room didn't seem to like sleeping in, so this was perfect timing.

We had a traditional old Beijing breakfast: a fried dough stick and a plate of fried liver. After eating, the two of us tiptoed off.

Little did they know, in the courtyard, the three little ones were already crouching by the door, watching the two adults sneak out.

The three children only looked at each other when they heard the motorcycle start.

Wang Siren said with some concern, "Younger brother and sister, is it really okay for us to do this?"

“What’s wrong with that!” Wang Xirou waved her hand. “They’re going to the factory without us, but we’ll find our own way. What’s the problem? There’s no problem! Trust me.”

These three cunning shrewd people had already discussed it last night.

Today, the factory is holding a large meeting. Wang Xirou had attended last year's meeting; it was very interesting and lively. Apparently, this year's meeting is even more exciting. Naturally, they wanted to join in the fun. Their original plan was to wait for Wang Shouren and Qin Jingru to leave, then persistently follow them. But Wang Xirou wouldn't have it; she wanted to ride her motorcycle.

So she came up with a plan: after Wang Shouren and the others went out, she would use the excuse that Wang Shouren wasn't taking them along to ride her motorcycle there!

Wang Siren had long wanted to ride a motorcycle, but there were regulations in Hong Kong that prohibited driving motor vehicles without a license. He was not old enough to drive one, so he could only ride it on his own turf and never really got to enjoy it.

There are no such regulations in China, or rather, such regulations were only introduced after 2004. Before 2004, there was such a thing as a driver's license, but it didn't stipulate that a driver's license was required to drive on the road.

"There are three of us, how are we going to divide it? We only have two motorcycles left at home, and they took one of them," Wang Ruiming pointed out the crux of the problem.

"Go borrow it from an old man."

"Forget it, how could an old man like him possibly lend it to us?"

"Then...then borrow it from Sha Zhu."

"Sha Zhu is even less likely to lend it to us."

"Then let's do it secretly..."

"This is illegal!"

“I’ll drive, you guys ride motorcycles, that’s settled,” Wang Ruiming said after thinking for a moment.

"No, you can drive?" Wang Xirou looked at her younger brother as if he were an alien.

"Ah, that car, I even helped assemble it, it's not difficult to drive." Wang Ruiming nodded.

"I want to sit! I want to sit! Teach me!"

Wang Ruiming; ...

He turned around, glanced at Wang Siren again, and looked at Wang Siren's longing expression. He hesitated for a moment, but still agreed.

Wang Shouren rode his motorcycle with Qin Jingru on the back, speeding along. The road became smoother, but something felt off. He even saw a market on the outskirts of his territory, and at this hour, many vendors were already stocking up. He stopped and saw many employees wearing their factory uniforms coming out of the market.

"Why is there a temporary market here? Is the food in the cafeteria not good anymore?" Wang Shouren asked.

"What are you thinking? How could the food in the cafeteria be bad? I even poached several chefs from my sister's place." Qin Jingru rolled her eyes. "After you left, they expanded the factory and dormitories over there, and there are quite a few family members of the employees. With more people around here, many small vendors are willing to come here to sell things, and not just food."

"Later, too many people gathered in this place, so the city government had someone set up a temporary market here."

"Huh?" Wang Shouren felt as if he had heard some magical lines.

What is that?

It's January 1981 now, not January 1991 or January 2001. How could anyone from above be willing to open up the market? This is simply outrageous.

"It was Mayor Dongfang who personally gave the order. The market is even now called the 'Universiade People's Market'."

Good grief, they've really gone all out.

"When will the car factory be ready?" Wang Shouren glanced at the construction site that had been shut down. The row of buildings was quite a sight.

"According to the plan, it can be put into use by the middle of next year. In fact, after the spring, it will be about a month later, and it can be finished. It's just that some equipment will take some time. Didn't you ask us to order from China? We still need to send people over there. Xue Lao's side has already done a lot of research and development. By then, if the whole workshop is assembled and people are arranged to learn, the car production line will probably not be ready until autumn."

"Okay, it's not too late. The preliminary preparations will take some time."
