Chapter 731: 80% New Crawler Tractor

As a reborn person, how could Wang An not understand this principle? It's just that there is a good saying, "It is easier to change rivers and mountains than to change one's nature." Of course, this is a more elegant and pleasant way of saying it.

If you want to say it in an ugly way, it's a bona fide "a dog can't change its habit of eating shit."

After all, in his past life, Wang An was in a half-black, half-white state until he was locked in the fence-enclosed fields, and many times saying he was purely black wasn't wrong at all.

So, for such a person, if he played the "gentleman speaks but doesn't move" set all day, it would actually be abnormal.

And after entering the fence-enclosed fields, it was even more environmental. Because it is well known that the fence-enclosed fields are a place to fight for status with fists. Not moving? That is absolutely impossible.

To put it simply, if your fists aren't hard, you don't even have a place to lie down and sleep inside.

So, letting Wang An change his habit of moving after encountering unfair or heart-wrenching things is definitely very difficult; it can only be done gradually.

The father and son were silent for a long time, and Wang An suddenly asked: "By the way, Father, did you unload the gun in your pocket? Don't always keep it loaded; what if you forget, that would be so dangerous."

Wang Dazhu was shocked upon hearing this, but subconsciously blamed Wang An:

"It's all your fault, you little rabbit. If you hadn't angered me, could I have forgotten such a big thing?"

As he spoke, Wang Dazhu gave Wang An a white look, then hurriedly took out the big 54 from his pocket, unloaded it, closed the safety, and put it back into his pocket.

It must be said that parents in this era often don't reason with their children at all; they say you are wrong, so you are wrong, and even if you aren't wrong, you are wrong.

Fortunately, Wang An understood Wang Dazhu's character extremely well, which was that when he was unreasonable, don't pay attention to him, just leave him there; only in this way can he avoid suffering physical pain.

Just like that, Wang An drove the four-wheeled vehicle in front, and Wang Daliang drove the walking tractor behind, and the two vehicles walked slowly toward the county seat.

The reason it was called "slowly" was that the speed of these two vehicles wasn't fast, about 7 or 8 kilometers per hour, similar to the speed of a slow jog.

But this was also normal, because whether it was a walking tractor or a four-wheeled vehicle, they only had 12 horsepower, and they couldn't go fast when carrying a heavy load.

Half an hour later, the two vehicles arrived at the street entrance where Wu Dong's house was located.

Stopping the four-wheeled vehicle, Wang An said to Wang Dazhu:

"Father, I'm going to drive the crawler vehicle back. You continue to drive forward, just hang in 2nd gear, and reduce to 1st gear when you hit an uphill, otherwise this vehicle probably can't make it up."

Wang Dazhu nodded with slight tension:

"Yeah, it's fine, I can handle it."

It could be seen that Wang Dazhu truly had no bottom in his heart at this moment, but it wasn't wrong to have no bottom, because driving a four-wheeled vehicle with a heavy load just after learning it was indeed a bit like being forced to do something.

After Wang An finished speaking, he jumped off the vehicle and turned to walk into the street where Wu Dong's house was located.

And just at this time, Wang Li also followed, shouting as he ran: "Fourth Brother, wait for me, I'm going with you too."

Wang An stood still subconsciously, and Wang Li had already caught up.

Wang An asked with a chuckle:

"What are you going for? That crawler thing isn't easy to learn; the way to drive that thing is completely different from walking tractors and four-wheeled vehicles."

Only seeing Wang Li say with a bitter face: "My father has taken over our family's walking tractor now. As long as the vehicle moves, he will grab it, and he won't let me drive it at all."

Wang An walked forward while saying with a chuckle:

"Is there any fun in driving a walking tractor? Your butt will be shattered, your arms will be tired to death, and if you aren't careful, you'll be thrown away."

Wang Li blinked and scratched his head: "I feel it's quite interesting, and I haven't driven enough yet." Wang An smiled, patted Wang Li on the shoulder, and said with a smile:

"Hehehehe... Alright, I'll teach you by the way later, just see if you can learn it."

As they spoke, the two brothers walked to Wu Dong's house.

At this time, in Wu Dong's courtyard, only a crawler tractor and a jeep were parked there. As for Wu Dong's sidecar, it was unknown where it had been taken.

Wang An and Wang Li didn't enter the house, but wandered around the crawler tractor.

This crawler vehicle looked pretty good, at least it looked about 80% new. The lights and such on it were very complete, the glass had no cracks, and there weren't many dents on the body, only a few slight ones.

Most importantly, the crawler tracks and the big shovel hanging in front of this vehicle were very new, and the wear was not great at all.

It could be seen that before this vehicle was sold, the crawler tracks and the big shovel had been replaced.

Behind the crawler vehicle, a bundle of steel wire rope thicker than a thumb was also wrapped.

Opening the door, the cover of the tool box on the right rear of the driving cabin was missing, but the tools inside were very complete: several wrenches of various models, pipe wrenches, ordinary pliers, round-headed hammers, hand axes, screwdrivers... and so on, basically everything was there.

To tell the truth, Wang An knew at a glance that this circle of steel wire rope and these tools were added later.

Because the steel wire rope was new, brand new, and the tools were also very new, which looked like they were newly bought.

After a circle, Wang Li said to Wang An with great excitement:

"Fourth Brother, how much did you buy this crawler vehicle for? It looks genuinely quite new."

Wang An looked at the aluminum nameplate on the vehicle and said:

"Yeah, this crawler vehicle was produced in September 1978, less than 3 years old, and cost less than 20,000 yuan."

Wang Li nodded while saying:

"Driving this vehicle must be super exciting, but buying this thing doesn't seem to be useful."

Wang An retorted:

"Why wouldn't it be useful? It's super fast to dig foundations with this thing, and besides, the area around my new courtyard needs to be cleaned up too."

As the two spoke, no one came out of the house.

Consequently, Wang An shouted toward the window:

"Brother Wu, Brother Wu, are you home?"

Wu Dong wasn't shouted out, but a very beautiful woman walked out of the house.

This woman was Wu Dong's wife, who didn't show up often.

Wang An greeted: "Sister-in-law, are you home? My Brother Wu went to work, right?"

Wu Dong's wife said:

"No, they are all busy now. Your Brother Wu has been busy these few days. Xiao An, wait a moment, your Brother Wu told me that if you came, I should call him immediately. You two come into the house with me, drink some water first."

Wang An and the other nodded and followed Wu Dong's wife into the house.
