Chapter 715: Men Are Juveniles Until Death

Sending Wu Dong and the others out of the courtyard, watching the three ride away, Wang Dazhu and his wife, Wang An and his wife, and Wang Yi, the five of them, turned and walked toward the courtyard.

In the Northeast, this is a kind of etiquette; generally, only when facing very important guests will the whole family go out to the courtyard except for children.

After the family walked back to the courtyard, Wang Dazhu asked Wang An:

"What's going on with that sidecar? Did you buy another sidecar? You bought that thing, it's useless, right?"

Wang Dazhu's tone, although somewhat blaming, clearly had a feeling of "the child is grown and not controlled by the father."

Liu Guilan said dissatisfiedly to Wang An: "Aren't you just wasting money? What's the use of buying a sidecar? I heard from your grandfather that when the little devils rode this thing, they didn't move in our place in winter."

After Liu Guilan finished speaking, just as Wang An was about to speak, Mu Xueqing also persuaded:

"Little An, Dad and Mom are right; this thing is useless in winter. It can walk, but it's so cold, can you still ride this thing?"

It must be said that this family, it seems only Wang An spends money lavishly, not considering saving money at all.

After the three finished speaking, it was finally Wang An's turn to speak, so Wang An said with a very showy smile:

"You three, you don't let me speak at all. This sidecar wasn't bought; it was a thank-you gift from my eldest sister and Wu Dong and the others. Didn't I lead them to make money a few days ago? People expressed it, and didn't let me refuse."

After Wang An finished speaking, Wang Dazhu and his wife and Mu Xueqing were instantly stunned, and even the look in their eyes looking at the sidecar changed.

Wang Dazhu murmured:

"Didn't... didn't spend money? Then your eldest sister and the others are too polite."

Liu Guilan also frowned and said:

"Then we just took such an expensive thing from others, is it appropriate?"

Looking at his rather honest parents, Wang An couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled: why would such an honest couple give birth to a rascal like him—no, wait, a shrewd and capable son like him?

Wang An said with a smile: "Hey, don't worry, if I didn't accept it, they would feel it wasn't appropriate. There are many other things mixed in here; it's just a back-and-forth, you don't need to worry about it."

Hearing Wang An say this, Wang Dazhu and his wife and Mu Xueqing felt relieved.

However, immediately after, Wang Dazhu frowned and asked:

"Almost forgot to ask you, didn't you take Old Five with you? Why did you come back together? Where is Old Five? Where did Old Five go?"

Wang An turned his head and smiled:

"Old Five was jealous when he saw me buying a vehicle, and then he was pestering, wanting Wang Shuai to help him buy a walking tractor. Then we added some pressure to Wang Shuai, and Wang Shuai found a connection to help him buy one too."

Wang Dazhu smiled upon hearing this: "That's Old Five doing the right thing; hanging out with you all morning, doing nothing, and actually getting a walking tractor back, hahaha... this kid is lucky, luckier than you! Hahaha..."

Wang An nodded with a smile:

"Yeah, the money for Old Five to buy the walking tractor was also subsidized by me and my eldest sister; this kid is indeed lucky."

Liu Guilan suddenly asked curiously:

"Then why didn't Old Five, this brat, bring your second uncle and the others over for dinner? Oh, it's my fault, I was just happy looking at our family's vehicles and didn't think of them; this matter is really..." Wang Dazhu said indifferently: "Hey, they are all family, it's okay. Besides, they bought a vehicle, so they have to cherish it at home."

Liu Guilan nodded and didn't think much about it anymore.

After the family entered the house, Liu Guilan and Mu Xueqing started to clean up the bowls and chopsticks. Wang Dazhu lit a cigarette and thought for a long time, then said to Wang An with expectation: "Little An, can one of the walking tractor and the four-wheeled vehicle go to the field this afternoon? We should plant rice seedlings; if we can plow the land with a vehicle, it must be much faster than a horse."

Wang An thought for a while, mainly thinking about whether there was anything he hadn't done. After thinking, Wang An found that he seemed to have nothing to do.

So, Wang An said with a smile:

"It must be able to go to the field. Let's go unload the cargo bed and change the plow, and by the way, I'll teach you how to drive both vehicles. From now on, both vehicles will belong to you, Dad, what do you think?"

Wang Dazhu was stunned upon hearing this, then rolled his eyes at Wang An unhappily:

"You have eight hundred hearts; you avoid farm work whenever you can. Don't worry, Mom and I will do all that work; we don't need you, look at your bear-like look that scared you."

It must be said that the saying "a father knows his son best" is very correct; Wang An's little thoughts were directly guessed by Wang Dazhu.

The main thing was that Wang An really had no interest in farming.

Except for getting some food, which was just not starving, he had never heard of anyone getting rich from this.

Hearing Wang Dazhu's words, Wang An smiled awkwardly and said with a grin: "Dad, look at you, I have things to do every day, otherwise I would have gone farming with you long ago."

Wang Dazhu glanced at Wang An sideways, stood up, and said with great contempt:

"Go away, you've been tricky since you were a child, I'm your father, how could I not know you?"

Pausing, Wang Dazhu continued: "Alright, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and change the plow, and teach me how to drive."

When saying the last sentence, Wang Dazhu's face was already full of excitement, clearly full of expectation for being able to drive soon.

A man in his 40s, still so expectant about driving, it can be seen that the saying "men are juveniles until death" is basically applicable to all men.

Wang An followed Wang Dazhu to the courtyard, and Wang An asked Wang Dazhu:

"Dad, do you want to learn the walking tractor first, or the four-wheeled vehicle first?"

Wang Dazhu looked left and right, pointed to the walking tractor and said: "Learn it first; when I was working at the forestry farm years ago, I always wanted to drive this thing, but I never had the chance."

Never expected that Wang Dazhu had an obsession with driving a walking tractor.

Thinking about it, it was normal; Wang Dazhu was originally a clever person, even things like chainsaws, which were relatively scarce, Wang Dazhu could repair. Now that he saw a walking tractor, he must want to figure it out.

The father and son cooperated and soon unloaded the cargo bed and installed the plow.

Then Wang An started to teach Wang Dazhu how to drive the tractor very carefully.

It must be said that Wang An's ability to learn everything he learned might be inherited from Wang Dazhu, because a few minutes later, Wang Dazhu could get started.
