Chapter 1177

Nanluoguxiang

Time is like sand, years are quiet...

Cao Weiguo was fishing in the steel rolling mill while taking time to ship goods.

Now the city is surging, but no matter how busy you are, you have to eat, right?

Over time, the small yellow fish (gold bars) in Cao Weiguo's hands had reached thousands of taels.

If Cao Weiguo took this gold to Xiangjiang, he would be financially free as soon as he made a move.

He could buy luxury houses and cars whenever he wanted!

Besides the small yellow fish, Cao Weiguo didn't stop collecting antiques and cultural relics.

These things aren't worth much in the country now, but they will appreciate in the future, and they also have a market abroad.

Things are expensive because they are rare; everyone should understand this principle.

There are few places to spend money now, and few ways to make money.

Cao Weiguo can only cast a long line to catch big fish, and he won't give up his longing for a beautiful future.

Liu Shan and Dong Xiaoxue's groups didn't stop their activities even when the wind was tight.

They just moved their activity area from the city to the outskirts. Even outside the city, they didn't worry about buyers, which didn't affect them selling supplies.

Water is clear and there are no fish; private trading under unified purchase and marketing is inevitable.

Not to mention Liu Shan and Dong Xiaoxue doing this, many ordinary people and cadres also do this.

Deaf Old Lady selling grain coupons wasn't a one-time thing, and most people in the courtyard had been to the pigeon market.

How did that saying go?

Peddlers and pawns, pulling carts and selling pulp, have existed since ancient times!

Liu Shan took another batch of supplies from the warehouse and trembled with excitement looking at the sides of pork.

After returning and discussing with his younger brothers, they drove the goods to the countryside overnight.

Cao Weiguo rode his bicycle home, and Li Xue was chatting with Song Yulan while making clothes.

Winter goes and spring comes, the season for changing clothes arrives as soon as it's mentioned.

The Lu family and the Xu family didn't have sewing machines, so Li Xue and He Wenjie would come over to visit from time to time.

One was to chat with Song Yulan, and the other was to borrow the sewing machine.

Song Yulan was also hospitable and got along well with Li Xue and He Wenjie.

As for the other neighbors in the Red Star Sihe Academy, they just greeted each other when they met.

Since moving to the new home, Cao Weiguo and Song Yulan both felt their ears were clean.

"You're back!"

"Weiguo!"

Song Yulan stood up with her big belly, and He Wenjie and Li Xue also stood up from beside the sewing machine to greet him.

Cao Weiguo smiled: "Sister He, Sister Li are here, sit down."

Putting down his briefcase, he took out a bag of sugar-roasted chestnuts from it.

"Sister He, Sister Li, try some."

"Sugar-roasted chestnuts!"

"Thank you, Weiguo!"

He Wenjie and Li Xue each grabbed a few and started eating while chatting and laughing.

Song Yulan brewed a pot of tea for Cao Weiguo: "Didn't I tell you to drink less? Drinking every day is so bad for your health."

Cao Weiguo smiled: "Hi, I'm obedient, I didn't drink much. You smell the alcohol on me, but I actually only drank three small cups."

Song Yulan: "You! Don't try to fool me."

Cao Weiguo: "I can't!"

Song Yulan poured a cup of tea for Cao Weiguo and returned to the sewing machine to continue chatting.

Cao Weiguo turned on the radio and picked up the Little Red Book (Quotations from Chairman Mao) to savor it carefully.

Every sentence of Chairman Mao's quotations is truth, and every chapter is classic; every time he reads it, he has some new insights.

He Wenjie took a look: "No wonder you, Weiguo, can be a leader. Work is so busy, yet you don't forget to read when you rest."

Cao Weiguo: "The great man said to study hard and make progress every day. You can go a day without eating, you can go a day without sleeping, but you can't go a day without reading."

He Wenjie smiled: "Look, this is the gap. My man brags about being an intellectual, but I've never seen him read a book at home. Otherwise, he wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable state. I'll tell him to read more when I go back and grow some useful brains."

"Brother Weiguo! Brother Weiguo, are you home?"

Liu Guangtian shouted a few times in the courtyard, and Cao Weiguo put down his book and walked out: "Guangtian, come in."

Liu Guangtian: "No, it's getting late, I won't go in. Brother Weiguo, I have something I want to ask of you."

Cao Weiguo: "What is it?"

Liu Guangtian: "Well, I want to borrow your bicycle, just for half a day."

Cao Weiguo: "Hi! Is that all? No problem, take it."

Liu Guangtian bowed with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Weiguo, thank you, Brother Weiguo. I will definitely return it to you before work tomorrow."

Cao Weiguo: "No rush! Pay attention to safety when riding."

Liu Guangtian happily pushed the bicycle back to Red Star Sihe Academy.

Yan Fugui stopped him and asked: "Guangtian? Whose bicycle is this? How come it looks like Cao Weiguo's?"

Liu Guangtian: "Third Uncle, your eyesight is good enough."

Yan Fugui: "How did Cao Weiguo's bicycle get into your hands?"

Liu Guangtian: "I borrowed it from Brother Weiguo."

Yan Fugui said in surprise: "That iron rooster Cao Weiguo is willing to lend you his bicycle?"

Liu Guangtian said unhappily: "Third Uncle, how are you talking? My Brother Weiguo is generous! Besides, Brother Weiguo is my brother, he treats me better than my own brother, what's borrowing a bicycle?"

Yan Fugui smiled: "Yes, yes, yes! That was purely a slip of the tongue!"

Liu Guangtian pushed the bicycle inside: "It's getting late, I have to go home, Third Uncle, you should rest early too."

Yan Fugui stared at Liu Guangtian's back and whispered: "When did this Liu Guangtian get together with Cao Weiguo?"

Turning back to the room, Yan Fugui talked about this to Third Aunt.

Third Aunt said with contempt: "This Liu Guangtian is the same as Liu Haizhong, both are sycophantic. Seeing Cao Weiguo has become successful, he naturally rushes to suck up to him. Didn't you see the day they moved? Liu Guangtian was busy inside and out, working harder than Cao Weiguo's two disciples, a total bootlicker."

Yan Fugui pushed his glasses: "I think this Liu Guangtian has a flexible brain. A while ago, I heard that this Liu Guangtian went to the countryside with Chi Ping'an and Lu Jin Peng to pull goods for Cao Weiguo, and he must have earned a lot on this trip."

Third Aunt: "I know about this. This Cao Weiguo also has no vision. Aren't our Jiecheng and Jiefang more promising than Liu Guangtian and Chi Ping'an? You tell me, why didn't he think of our eldest and second son when he had such a good thing?"

Yan Fugui: "Promising my foot, these two boys have wooden heads. This Liu Guangtian knows how to pull coal and move for Cao Weiguo. Look at these two boys, they won't move unless pushed. When have they ever taken the initiative to help Cao Weiguo work? Can Cao Weiguo use them?"

Third Aunt: "What's up? Do you want our son to rush to suck up to Cao Weiguo like Liu Guangtian?"

Yan Fugui: "How can you call it sucking up? That's called mutual aid, enhancing neighborhood feelings. Although Cao Weiguo is money-grubbing, he is a factory leader after all. Pulling a hair from him is thicker than the thigh of an ordinary person, and the oil in his fingernails is more than the oil in our jar. Let the eldest and second son interact more with Cao Weiguo, so they can benefit more in the future and improve our family's living conditions."

Third Aunt: "Humph! Didn't you say before that Cao Weiguo didn't give you face and our family wouldn't interact with Cao Weiguo?"
