Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 202 Concord Reward: Yangtze River 750 (Equal subscription plus more)
That afternoon, Fang Yan went to Union Hospital to pick up Zhu Lin and his mother after get off work.

I heard my mother say that the hospital leader had a talk with her this afternoon.

It is said that Fangyan made great contributions in retrieving the scientific research materials and papers of the experts in the institute last time, so they plan to give him a reward, and the content of the reward has now been discussed.

Fangyan had heard the head of my mother's department talk about this before, but he didn't take it seriously at the time. But it turned out that people actually discussed it.

After hearing what my mother said, Fang Yan asked curiously:
"So what kind of reward does the hospital plan to give me?"

As he said this, many possibilities flashed through his mind.

Then I heard my mother answer:
"car."

Fang Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked:
"Car? Bicycle?"

"No." The old lady shook her head with a smile, her tone a little mysterious.

Fang Yan suddenly thought of what happened three days ago when his apprentice Anton wanted to give him a car. Fang Yan asked:

"No way? You're going to give me a car?"

Hearing this, my mother's eyes widened and she said:

"No, why don't you come in order? And you want a car? Do you think the hospital has so much spare money in its account?"

She didn't keep the secret any longer and said to Fang Yan:

"They're going to give you a motorcycle."

"Motorcycle?" Fangyan didn't expect this answer.

The old lady said:

"It's the kind of three-wheeled motorcycle you saw, with a cargo box on the side."

"You call it a sidecar, a sidecar, but the leader said it's called a Yangtze River motorcycle."

Fangyan then understood that the Changjiang 750 was a domestically produced motorcycle copied from the Ural M72 motorcycle.

Manufacturing began in 1957, and by 1965, the annual output of 750 motorcycles reached 2500 units. Last year, domestically produced motorcycles had entered the civilian market, which means that as long as you have the conditions, even private individuals can buy them.

The engine has 22 horsepower and can reach a speed of 85 kilometers per hour. It can carry three people and more than 100 kilograms of cargo. The sidecar next to it can also be removed, and the car becomes a two-wheeled motorcycle.

In his previous life, Fangyan had only ridden other people’s motorcycles.

At that time, I thought motorcycles were not as safe as cars, so I never bought one.

I have simply ignored this option in my life.

Now that my mother mentioned that she wanted to give him a Concorde, Fangyan felt that this seemed to be a good means of transportation.

He nodded and said:

"I know the Changjiang 750, this is also possible..."

Then he thought of another question, frowned and said to my mother:
"But even if you give it to me, I don't have any gas coupons."

Although motorcycles do not burn oil like cars, they still need to burn oil. Where can you get the oil?

"Don't worry about that. The hospital leader also said that your motorcycle's oil is covered. If it runs out, just go to the Xiehe Oil Collection Station and sign a receipt to get it. Not only that, the maintenance of the motorcycle is also covered for you."

When Fang Yan heard that Xiehe had made such an arrangement, he immediately laughed:
"Oh, that would be great!"

This can be considered as a solution to the problem of motorcycle usage.

After saying this, the old lady quietly came to Fangyan and said:

"In addition, they also plan to promote me to deputy chief physician after the National Day..."

As I spoke, I couldn't help but smile.

When Fangyan heard this, he exclaimed:

"Oh, that's great! With your qualifications, if it weren't for my father's involvement, you should have been promoted long ago. Now it's good, you've finally been promoted." The mother said to him:
"That's all thanks to you. If you hadn't helped them so much, how could anyone have brought this up? Everyone is eyeing that position. Your mother was able to get promoted this time because the leader saw you in her shoes."

"Haha, this gift from them is more pleasing than giving me a motorcycle."

……

Time comes the next day.

When Fangyan went to Union Hospital for lunch at noon that day, the hospital leader found Fangyan, explained the reward to him again, and then gave him the car keys and the certificate given by the hospital.

The motorcycle is now outside the cafeteria and is full of gas. He just needs to go and get a certificate.

Fang Yan looked at the car keys and the certificate in his hand and said in surprise:

"I thought there would be a grand car handover ceremony."

The hospital leader said with a smile:
"We wanted to do it, but it would inevitably bring up some of the things that happened back then, so for your protection, we decided not to do anything nonsense."

Fangyan thought that the other party was thoughtful and said to the leader:

“Thank you, leader!”

The leader waved his hand:
"We should be the ones thanking you. The scientific research materials and medical papers you saved are the result of the hard work of many of us. The value of a motorcycle is nothing compared to these. I'm glad you don't mind."

Fangyan shook his head and said:
"How could I dislike it? This is a reward given to me by the hospital. I can't wait to be happy."

"To be honest, I was worried about not having a faster means of transportation. This gift really touched my heart. Thank you, boss!"

When the leader heard this, he laughed:
"Hahaha, I'd better if you like it!"

……

After Fangyan finished his meal and walked out of the cafeteria, he saw a military green sidecar three-wheeler parked next to the flower bed. Although the shape seemed a bit rustic from a modern perspective, in that era, such a motorcycle was definitely very cool.

Few of the kids in the military compound can drive this, most of them still ride bicycles.

And Fangyan discovered that this should be a new model.

The hospital did not simply buy a relatively cheap old model to make up the number.

Fang Yan got on the motorcycle and asked Zhu Lin:

"Come up and sit?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Lin immediately walked up with a smile and sat behind Fang Yan.

The other young people watching around immediately followed suit.

Fangyan started the motorcycle and drove it according to the instructions he remembered.

Walked around the open space in front of the cafeteria.

The maneuverability of the 750 motorcycle is definitely not as good as the cars of the previous life, but it is not a big problem for Fangyan.

After stopping, Fang Yan said to Zhu Lin:

"I'll go get the license later, and we'll drive this car home after get off work this afternoon."

Zhu Lin thought for a moment and said:
"But it seems like this can only seat three people? There are four of us."

Fang Yan thought to himself that the Queen probably had never seen a military parade performance by a White Elephant tricycle, so it would be able to fit four people in, let alone four more.

Of course, today is different. Fang Yan said to the Queen:
"Let's just drive back together and let them take the bus. It's time for us to enjoy a drive alone."

After hearing this, the Queen smiled and nodded:
"Okay, then I'll listen to you."

PS: This chapter is finished, and I still owe you 58,000.

There's more in the afternoon.
