Reborn in the 1980s: Nine Stunning Beauties Get Pregnant Before Marriage

Chen Yongqiang parked the tractor in front of a noodle shop and led Qin Liping inside.

"Boss, two bowls of beef noodles and two roujiamo (Chinese hamburgers), please."

The noodle shop owner called out loudly from behind the stove, "Alright! Two bowls of beef noodles and two roujiamo (Chinese hamburgers), coming right away!"

"Brother Yongqiang, is this too much? I'm afraid we won't be able to finish it." Qin Liping doesn't have a big appetite.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of anything you can't finish," Chen Yongqiang said with a smile. After his physique improved, his appetite also increased significantly.

Nowadays, his family has meat at every meal, and they are quite well-off. If it were an ordinary family, they would probably have been eaten out of poverty by his appetite long ago.

While waiting for her meal, Qin Liping kept her hand tightly gripping the handbag in front of her chest, which contained more than 600 yuan in cash.

Chen Yongqiang seemed quite ordinary, but for Qin Liping, it was a huge sum of money she had never received before.

"Give me the bag." Chen Yongqiang noticed her nervousness.

He also noticed several pairs of malicious eyes staring at Qin Liping from the corner, so he reached out and took her bag.

After handing the bag to Chen Yongqiang, Qin Liping finally relaxed her tense shoulders and let out a soft sigh of relief.

Before long, the noodle shop owner brought over two bowls of beef noodles on a wooden tray: "Enjoy your meal, gentlemen. The roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) will have to wait a little longer!"

Chen Yongqiang first pushed a bowl of noodles in front of Qin Liping: "Eat quickly."

As he spoke, he picked up another bowl and placed it in front of him.

"Then I won't be polite." Qin Liping happily picked up her chopsticks and started eating.

Chen Yonggang had just taken a couple of bites of noodles when he heard someone shout behind him, "Whose tractor is that outside?"

He glanced at him and saw a middle-aged man.

"It's mine," Chen Yongqiang replied.

The middle-aged man took a few steps closer, a smile plastered on his face: "It's like this, I have some goods I'd like you to help me transport, the price is negotiable."

Chen Yongqiang's hand was already on the bag beside him: "Unfortunately, I've already agreed to haul goods for someone else this afternoon."

His intuition told him that something was off about this person; he didn't seem like a good person.

The middle-aged man still wouldn't give up: "Brother, do me a favor. It's just one trip, it won't take much time. I'll increase the shipping fee by 30%, how about that?"

"It's not about the money. You have to keep your word. I've already promised someone, so it's not good to take on other jobs." Chen Yongqiang still didn't back down.

Despite the middle-aged man's persistent persuasion, the price was raised to double, but Chen Yongqiang remained unmoved.

Finally, the middle-aged man became somewhat exasperated, and his voice rose: "How can you be so stubborn and refuse to make money? You're so inflexible!"

Chen Yongqiang ignored him and continued eating his noodles.

The noodle shop owner came over carrying two roujiamo (Chinese hamburgers) wrapped in oil paper: "Your roujiamo are ready."

The middle-aged man stood there for a while longer, and seeing that Chen Yongqiang was no longer looking at him, he finally turned and left.

Qin Liping, who hadn't spoken until the man was out of sight, finally spoke softly, "Brother Yongqiang, why don't you earn thirty yuan a trip?"

"You're still too young. Don't always dream of getting something for nothing. What falls from the sky is mostly a trap. If you go with him, you won't even know you've been sold out."

Thirty yuan wasn't worth the risk for Chen Yongqiang.

Qin Liping stuck out her tongue and pushed the unfinished noodles and roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) in front of Chen Yongqiang: "I really can't eat anymore."

Chen Yongqiang didn't mind and quickly finished off the remaining noodles and roujiamo (Chinese hamburger).

"Boss, check please."

"That'll be one dollar and two jiao in total." The shopkeeper walked over.

Chen Yongqiang took out some money from his bag to pay the bill, then turned to Qin Liping and said, "Let's go to the winery."

Following behind, Qin Liping muttered under her breath, "One yuan and twenty cents, not bad. Last time, that meal cost more than ten yuan."

Upon arriving at the distillery, a minor issue arose.

The old gatekeeper took the cigarette Chen Yongqiang offered and said, "You're too late. The waste liquor lees were all taken away by the transport team this morning."

"It was taken away? Wasn't it supposed to be reserved for me to take?" Chen Yongqiang couldn't find the manager he had previously agreed to meet.

The old man shrugged: "I don't know, I'm just a gatekeeper."

Chen Yongqiang's gaze swept over the scattered wet stains on the floor inside the doorway, confirming that the old man was not lying.

"What should we do now?" Qin Liping asked anxiously.

Chen Yongqiang, on the other hand, seemed calm. "Never mind if you don't have it. Let's go to the cement factory."

The purpose of hauling away the lees was to establish a connection with this company, paving the way for selling their own brewed wine in the future.

It's a bit of a pity that it didn't work out, but we didn't lose anything.

Building a house is the top priority now; we can deal with other things later.

Chen Yongqiang drove his tractor, asking around along the way, and finally found the county cement plant.

He showed the gatekeeper the note given to him by Shen Hongjun and explained his purpose.

The security guard glanced at him a few times, then looked at the name on the note before pointing in a direction: "The supply and marketing department is in that red brick building over there, on the second floor, on the left."

Upon arriving at the supply and marketing department, Chen Yongqiang found Section Chief Liu. Section Chief Liu was a slightly overweight middle-aged man who took the note and glanced at it.

He put on a polite smile: "You were introduced by Captain Shen? No problem. We have some unplanned cement in stock. How much do you need?"

A tractor can carry a maximum of one ton. A bag of cement weighs 100 jin (50 kg), so one ton is 20 bags.

Chen Yongqiang said, "Section Chief Liu, I need eighty bags. I'll take twenty bags today, and the rest tomorrow. Can you approve that?"

"Twenty packs... Okay, I'll write you the invoice. But this price is a bit higher than planned, and it has to be paid in cash." Section Chief Liu said in a businesslike manner.

"The price is negotiable, I have the money with me," Chen Yongqiang readily agreed.

Section Chief Liu quickly issued a delivery order: "80 per ton, 320 for 4 tons. Just take this order to warehouse number three to pick up the goods."

Chen Yongqiang took the delivery note, looked at the quantity and amount on it, then took out the money from his bag, counted it, and handed it over.

Section Chief Liu took the money and had the clerk next to him check it again. After confirming that everything was correct, he stamped the form.

Although the price is higher than planned, it's already quite an achievement to be able to buy it right now.

The warehouse keeper checked the order and called two workers to help load the truck.

Looking at the cement on the truck, Chen Yongqiang felt much more at ease; the main building materials for the house were finally in their first batch.

Chen Yongqiang drove the tractor to the factory gate, slowly stopped it, and called out to Qin Liping, who was waiting at the gate, "Let's go, we should go back now."

Qin Liping jogged over and quickly climbed into the seat next to the driver's seat.

The tractor rumbled as it drove onto the road back to the village.

If Qin Liping hadn't been with him, Chen Yongqiang could have packed the cement into his spatial storage and brought it back in one go.

"Are you going to come here to haul cement again tomorrow?" Qin Liping asked.

"Okay! Don't come with me tomorrow. The cement is all dusty, there's nothing fun about it." Chen Yongqiang didn't plan to take her anymore.
