Fisherwoman: After my divorce, I became rich by fishing at sea

The automobile factory was also thriving in the 1980s. According to Zhang Xiaoqing, their factory mainly produced some auto parts and assembled three-wheeled vehicles.

The workers in the workshop were all wearing blue work clothes and were busy and focused on their work. Everyone's face was full of seriousness, and no one was even slacking off.

This is the mental outlook of the workers of this era, full of hope and enthusiasm.

"Comrade Xiaofu, look over there. That's the three-wheeled vehicle produced and assembled in our factory."

Fu Wan and Fu Ming looked in the direction she pointed, and saw rows of blue three-wheeled cars parked neatly on the side. Each car looked extremely exquisite, and Fu Ming was so envious that his eyes turned green.

Although Fu San's car looks somewhat similar to these cars, the difference is that Fu San's car was bought second-hand from someone else, so there are many scratches on the paint on the body. But even so, Fu Ming likes it very much.

Now seeing this brand new three-wheeled vehicle, Fu Ming couldn't even imagine how cool it would be to drive it.

Fu Wan naturally also took a look at this three-wheeled car. Since she couldn't buy a car, this would be fine for her family to use temporarily.

And most importantly, she just thought that the cannery might be useful, for example, in delivering goods to supply and marketing cooperatives.

"Okay, Comrade Zhang, how much does a tricycle like this cost?"

Zhang Xiaoqing didn't expect that after Fu Wan saw the car, she still wanted to buy it.

She instinctively quoted a price immediately.

"This 581 three-wheeled vehicle sells for yuan here. It's actually a light truck. If you want to haul goods, it's very suitable."

"And our vehicle uses a four-cylinder engine with good horsepower, three forward gears and one reverse gear, and can carry about a ton of cargo." The 3 tricycle is still used as a sanitation vehicle in many places. Fu Ming listened with great interest and couldn't help but ask, "Why is it called a 1 tricycle?"

This price, car, and the number 581 have nothing to do with each other!

Zhang Xiaoqing smiled and said, "581 means that this car was finalized and put into production in January 1958. Our production technology for this car was introduced from Shanghai, and the masters in the production workshop all learned it at the Shanghai Automobile Assembly Plant.

If you have any problems after buying the car, you can always contact us for inspection and repair."

Fu Ming nodded subconsciously, "That's quite good."

After muttering, he couldn't help but look at the row of cars. Every one of them looked good and he wanted to take them all home.

But he knew very well that if he took the whole car back, Ye Xiaocui would have to chase him around the village for most of the way.

"Awan, this car..."

Fu Ming was about to discuss this with Fu Wan when she turned to Zhang Xiaoqing beside her and said, "Comrade Zhang, please go get the order. I need one."

"One? Okay, I'll talk to the finance department right away!"

Zhang Xiaoqing actually didn't expect that Fu Wan would make the decision in the blink of an eye. She had done business with the same unit before, and those people not only asked for kickbacks, but also wanted her to treat them to dinner.

If she and her colleagues could not drink, they would not have been able to sign so many contracts.

She only received Fu Wan out of respect for the director of the Friendship Store, but she didn't expect that this young comrade would buy a car as if it were a piece of cake.

"Awan, are we really buying it?"

Fu Ming was dumbfounded and couldn't help but persuade Fu Wan: "If you buy this car, it won't be of much use. Maybe mother will get angry."

Fu Wan patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Mom will definitely understand. Besides, if I buy this car back, I can help the cannery deliver goods.

If nothing else, just tell me whether you want to drive this car or not."

Fu Ming wanted to do that and nodded vigorously.

"That's it. You should practice your driving skills and help me run more canneries in the future. I'll pay you a salary later."

Fu Ming realized belatedly that his sister had arranged another job for him, but he did not find it troublesome. Instead, he was deeply touched.

If you were to ask what job was the most popular in the 1980s, apart from the teachers who had stable jobs, the next best thing would be being a driver.

Not only is the salary high, but you can also drive a big truck.

This tricycle is also a car, so Fu Ming was naturally very happy.

The price of 32,000 yuan was just a drop in the bucket for Fu Wan, but she still had to bargain.

"Comrade Zhang, can we get a discount on this car?"

The cloth bag that Fu Wan was holding contained the money that Fu Ming had just withdrawn when he bought a refrigerator. He had withdrawn a total of 50,000 yuan, and now there was more than 40,000 yuan left in the bag.

Zhang Xiaoqing was a straightforward person, and Fu Wan was not picky when buying a car, so she directly gave a friendly price.

"The price we give to the company is 31,000. Why don't you give it based on that? I'll talk to the boss later."

Fu Wan was very happy that she saved a thousand yuan with just two or three sentences. She paid the money immediately and asked Zhang Xiaoqing to help register the car.

"By the way, Comrade Zhang, you don't need a driver's license to ride this bike, right?"

Fu Wan suddenly remembered this. It would be really unfair if she was stopped by the police as soon as she drove out.

"Not now, maybe later. Comrade Xiaofu, if you have the conditions and time, it would be best to take the exam first."

She would never tell these things to others, but seeing that Fu Wan got along well with her, she couldn't help but say a few more words.

"Okay, I'll go find out where in the county I can get a driver's license and take the test."

Zhang Xiaoqing was very happy to hear her say this. She guessed that Fu Wan would definitely not be satisfied with a small tricycle.

"I have the phone number of the city's driving test department. I'll copy it down for you later. If you have time, you can practice on a tricycle and then take a couple of tests in person."

There weren't so many subjects required to take the driver's license test at that time. Fu Wan smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Sister Zhang."

The word "sister" brought the two closer together.

The smile on Zhang Xiaoqing's face grew even wider. "Hey, then I got a beautiful sister for free."

After buying the tricycle, Fu Wan took the factory's sample car for a drive and felt relieved when she found it felt good.

It looks like I can drive home by myself later.

Fu Ming was impatient and took a little longer than Fu Wan, but he got the hang of it quickly.

Because the car still needed to be registered and go through the formalities, Fu Wan and Fu Ming did not disturb Zhang Xiaoqing, and the two went out for a casual stroll.

The supply and marketing cooperatives in the city are similar to those in the county. Fu Wan had just spent some money at the Friendship Store and bought a car, so her desire to spend money was not so strong anymore.

But just as she walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative, she saw an old man with white hair lying on the ground on the side of the road, but his hands were still trembling as he tried to reach into his clothes pocket.

After hesitating for a while, Fu Wan decided to ask the old lady if she needed help.

After all, they were right in front of the supply and marketing cooperative, and the salesperson saw that it was not him who knocked her down.

"Old lady, do you need help?"

The old lady's voice was very weak. After hearing Fu Wan's voice, she answered weakly after a while.

"Sugar...sugar...in my pocket..."
