Rebirth in 1980, the rise of the golden age

Li Youcai was very happy after leaving the supply and marketing company.

This is a very important victory for Chunfeng Bread.

Wang Qiang was also very excited. After working so hard for so long, he finally got this thing done. At this moment, Wang Qiang wanted to fly back to the bakery immediately to share this good news with all the employees in the factory.

"Brother Cai, shall we go back now?"

"Youjie is getting married soon, and I want to choose a gift for him, so I plan to go around the city." Li Youcai did not forget the second reason for coming to the city.

Upon hearing this, Wang Qiang immediately said, "I'll go with you."

Li Youjie is Li Youcai's younger brother. Wang Qiang felt that he should prepare a gift in advance, so he simply followed Brother Cai around the city to see if there was anything good.

The two of them wandered around the huge city of Taihe.

The supply and marketing cooperatives in the city are much larger than those in the county, and have many more products, many of which are not available in the county supply and marketing cooperatives.

Li Youcai walked around the supply and marketing cooperative. Although there were many goods, there was nothing suitable as a wedding gift for Li Youjie.

For ordinary families, the gifts for relatives’ weddings are mostly a pair of enamel basins with the word “happiness” on them, a pair of thermoses with red “happiness” on them, a pair of towels, a pair of pillowcases and the like.

But at their house, these things are too light to send.

Gold is regulated and cannot be purchased. Although silver is available, Li Youcai believes that it is definitely not worth spending money to buy it.

After coming out of the supply and marketing cooperative, Li Youcai and Wang Qiang continued to stroll on the street, wanting to see if there were any shops on the street.

Although there are not many individual shops here, there are some.

After strolling for a while, Li Youcai saw a man riding a broken tricycle in front of him. It was a hot day and the man was wearing a lazy vest and a straw hat on his head. He looked very dirty.

Riding slowly forward.

Li Youcai didn't pay much attention to it at first, but suddenly an old man came out from the side with a palm-sized box in his hand, and ran forward without even raising his head.

It crashed head-on into the tricycle loaded with debris.

"Ouch!"

The old man fell to the ground on the spot, wailing in pain.

The rag collector stepped on the brake pedal hard, and a lot of rags fell out of the car.

"I say, old man, don't you look at the road when you walk?" The rag collector was also scared to death and complained as soon as he opened his mouth.

Even after falling to the ground, the old man did not take care of himself first, but held the wooden box tightly in his hand. He only felt relieved after confirming that the box did not fall.

"I haven't even told you how you ride a bike yet! And you're already blaming me!"

"Ouch..." The old man covered his elbow and wailed with his teeth bared.

Just now when he was about to fall to the ground, in order to protect the box in his hand, he used his elbow to support the ground. Now the ground was covered in blood, and it was unknown how serious the injury was.

"I think you are sincere. Are you trying to blackmail me?"

"I tell you, you bumped into me yourself, so don't blame me." After fixing the tricycle, the rag collector got off and prepared to help the old man up from the ground.

As soon as the hand touched the old man's arm, the old man grimaced in pain.

He kept crying out in pain.

The rag collector didn't dare touch him anymore and had to let go.

"How are you?" Seeing that the old man seemed to be seriously injured, the rag collector became a little anxious.

I kept cursing in my heart that I didn't check the almanac before going out, and that's why I ended up in such a situation.

"My arm hurts and I dare not move." The old man was sweating profusely from the pain, and it didn't seem like he was pretending at all.

At this time, Li Youcai and Wang Qiang also walked closer. The rag collector turned out to be a young man, covered in dust and dirt, and was also very anxious.

Li Youcai felt that the young man who collected rags looked familiar, but the young man's face was covered with dirt and it was difficult to recognize him.

"No, my arm hurts so much every time I move it. It might be broken. Young man, please take me to the hospital." The old man said with gritted teeth.

"This..." The rag collector was overwhelmed when he heard this. He only had 4 dollars in his pocket, which was definitely not enough to pay for the old man's medical treatment.

"Ouch!" The old man was in great pain, but his mind was clear. He said to the young rag collector, "Don't worry, I won't blackmail you. I was too happy and didn't look where I was going. I don't blame you. Just take me to the hospital and you'll go, okay? If I could move myself, I wouldn't need you."

"That's what you said. I'll take you to the hospital and then I'll leave." The young man didn't care about the waste on the ground at this moment. He turned around and tidied up his tricycle to make some space.

The rag collector took off his straw hat and tried to help the old man onto the tricycle.

But as soon as he touched the old man, he cried out in pain, making it impossible for the young man to do anything.

Helpless, the young man could only turn around and look at the people around him: "Please lend a hand and help me lift the person onto the car."

It was the midday sun when the sun was at its strongest, and there were not many pedestrians on the street, let alone people watching the fun.

Seeing that the injured person was an old man, no one dared to help for fear of getting into trouble.

The rag collector's eyes met Li Youcai's. Without the straw hat blocking his view, Li Youcai could see clearly who the young man was, Long Xu!

The young face is completely different from the cunning Long Jiuri in later generations.

"Brothers, please help lift the man into the car. Thank you." Long Xu looked at Li Youcai and Wang Qiang. They were the only ones of his age among the people around him, so Long Xu looked to them for help.

Li Youcai stood still, looked at Long Xu, and said in a deep voice: "If you ask me, you should report the case first and let the traffic police come over to handle it for you."

Long Xu once told him that he could do anything in his life except helping the elderly.

Li Youcai smiled and asked if he had been cheated before. Long Xu said that he was blackmailed when he was collecting scrap on a tricycle. The old man kept saying that he would not blackmail him and wanted to send him to the hospital. However, after arriving at the hospital, the old man's children kept grabbing him and insisted that he had hit someone and had to pay compensation.

Long Xu said that his family was very poor at that time, and those people kept pestering him, and his family could not afford to pay, so in the end they forcibly occupied their house.

Poor family of five, they lived an honest life and finally had to rent a house to live in.

At this time, Li Youcai knew Long Xu, but Long Xu did not know him.

Seeing that Li Youcai and the others were unwilling to help, he felt a little annoyed.

"If I don't want to help, then I won't. If you ask me to report the case, that will only delay things."

Li Youcai chuckled and said, "You report the case now. There are so many of us who are witnesses. The traffic police will know how it happened once they ask. Whoever is responsible will be held responsible."

"But if you drag him away and send him to the hospital now, his children will come over and say you hit him. Even if you have a mouth full of words, you won't be able to explain it clearly."

When Long Xu heard this, his body shook violently.

The sweat beads on his already sweaty forehead became even bigger.

If he really leaves, he won’t be able to explain himself!
