Chapter 1140

Wu Dong drove, Wang An sat in the passenger seat, and the two soon arrived at the large courtyard.

Wu Dong parked the car in front of a large warehouse, or perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it a factory building, and let Wang An get out of the car with him.

As soon as they entered the factory, Wang An saw several tanks and cannons that couldn't be seen often in this era, as well as some non-civilian tools.

It was clear that this factory was specifically for storing these things.

So Wang An subconsciously asked Wu Dong:

"Brother Wu, am I not supposed to see these things?"

Wu Dong scanned left and right and said:

"It's fine, these are all without maintenance value, and they've been phased out; they'll be shipped away soon."

When Wang An heard Wu Dong say this, he felt relieved.

Mainly because in Wang An's subconscious, the warehouse for weapons and equipment should be kept secret to prevent it from being used by people with ulterior motives, just like that spy named "Da Hui," who could actually draw maps of the weapons depot and defensive positions—what a damn shitty thing that was!

Walking further in, Wang An saw the Jeep he had been longing for, the GAZ.

To be honest, this car looked really ugly. Of course, that's using the eyes of someone from a later generation; for now, it was still very much in line with the aesthetic.

Along the way, Wu Dong introduced that the reason this car was so expensive was because of the modifications.

Because the tires were explosion-proof, the glass was bulletproof, and even the body had been reinforced.

The purpose of these cars was, on one hand, for drills, and on the other hand, for testing, to record various data.

The recording of various data here, to put it bluntly, was to manufacture vehicles for important figures based on the various pros and cons generated during the use of this car in various complex environments.

So although these cars didn't look like much, in reality, every component and the entire body used damn good things.

Of course, even so, these cars were no longer needed, and in order to recoup some of the money invested, they had to be sold.

Walking up to these GAZ vehicles, Wu Dong said to Wang An:

"Take a look, the keys are all in the cars. Pick whichever one you like, and we'll go pay for it outside in a while."

Wang An looked at them one by one and finally picked a car with the least tire wear; mainly, the tire treads were very clear, and the tire burrs were still clearly visible.

And so, Wang An patted the hood of the car and said with a smile:

"This is the one, hahahaha."

As he spoke, Wang An opened the door, looked at the interior, and skillfully started the car.

Mainly because the interior of this car had nothing, so there was really nothing to look at.

After the engine sound stabilized, Wang An drove it out from the warehouse entrance.

It must be said, the biggest disadvantage of driving this car was that turning the steering wheel was quite strenuous. If you wanted to turn the wheels while stationary, you absolutely couldn't do it without some strength in your shoulders.

The subsequent process was much simpler. Wu Dong led Wang An to the office to pay, then took the introduction letter and vehicle certification materials, and the car completely belonged to Wang An.

After everything was done, it was already past 3:00 PM.

Leaving the courtyard, Wu Dong stopped the car, lowered the window, and shouted to Wang An:

"Xiao An, I still have to go back to my unit. You go home too. We'll get together properly after I'm done with my work."

Wang An also shouted:

"Hey, alright, Brother Wu."

After Wu Dong drove away, Wang An also drove home in high spirits.

Not to mention, although this car had no power steering and the seats were very hard, and it had no comfort to speak of when driving, the clutch and gearbox—perhaps because they had been modified—were still very smooth when shifting gears.

You have to know that for many old GAZ vehicles, it's very difficult for drivers who aren't familiar with the car to shift gears, and the reason it's difficult is mainly because the clutch clearance is large.

Speeding along the mountain road, Wang An pushed the car to a maximum speed of 70 mph.

It must be admitted that the chassis tuning of this car is truly excellent; no wonder it could be used as a military vehicle, and it was used for so many years.

Just like that, Wang An arrived home in only 15 minutes for a journey of over 30 li; this speed was not slow at all.

As soon as he entered his own courtyard, Wang An smugly honked the horn continuously.

Soon, Wang Dazhu and his wife, along with Huang Zhong, ran out of the house, and then Shen Wei and Huang Li helped Mu Xueqing out.

In fact, although Mu Xueqing's belly was very large, it didn't hinder her walking, and under the advice of Liu Guilan, Shen Wei, and other experienced people, Mu Xueqing had to walk a lot every day.

There was no other way; she had to exercise, otherwise, it would become very difficult when giving birth.

Seeing that everyone in the family had come out, Wang An opened the door and jumped out of the car.

As soon as Wang Dazhu saw the car, his eyes couldn't move away from it. He circled the car and praised it:

"Tsk tsk tsk, this little car is just different, it's really good-looking."

Liu Guilan also said with an excited face:

"It's usually hard to see such a little car, and now my eldest son has driven one straight home, hahahaha."

Mu Xueqing and Shen Wei were also staring at the GAZ, their two pretty little faces full of smiles.

After walking around the car, Wang An opened the door and said to the four of them with a smile:

"Everyone get in, I'll take you for a spin around our village, hahahaha..."

Who knew Wang Dazhu would say:

"You take your mother and the others for a spin first, and I'll watch the house."

Wang An said without hesitation:

"Oh, why watch the house? Let Xiao Li and Xiao Zhong watch for a while, and I'll take them for a spin in a bit. I'll be back in a little while."

Wang Dazhu rolled his eyes at Wang An and said:

"My meaning is that after you take your mother and the others for a spin, you also teach me how to drive, understand? You know nothing."

Wang An then understood that his father's hands were itching after seeing the car.

But Wang An had originally wanted to teach his father how to drive, so his father wanting to learn was exactly what Wang An wanted.

And so, Wang An said with a smile:

"Hahaha, wanting to learn to drive doesn't delay taking a spin. Get in, get in, I'll take Xiao Li and the others for a spin later, and then you can learn."

Wang Dazhu thought that was right, so he took the initiative to get into the back seat.

Just like that, Mu Xueqing sat in the passenger seat, Wang Dazhu and his wife, and Shen Wei sat in the back seat.

Not to mention, the space in this GAZ was really not small; sitting three people in the back wasn't crowded at all. Of course, this might also be related to people in this era being relatively thin.

Wang An said to Huang Li and Huang Zhong:

"I'll take your uncle and the others for a spin first, and I'll take you for a spin in a bit, okay?"

Huang Li quickly said:

"No need, no need, we don't need to."

Wang An didn't argue with Huang Li but said directly:

"Alright, no need for what, just wait for us to come back at home."

As he spoke, Wang An got into the car, closed the door, didn't even need to reverse in the courtyard, and made a turn out of the courtyard gate.
