You can use it whenever you need it. With a car, it will be more convenient for you to go out and procure supplies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo: \"Thank you, leader.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking the keys to the motor pool, the motor pool captain enthusiastically introduced Cao Cao Weiguo to the car’s performance and some precautions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This car was a Changjiang Brand Model 46 jeep. In 1957, it began reverse engineering based on the Willys M38A1 \"American Jeep.\" Overcoming numerous difficulties such as lack of funds, machine tools, and molds, they successfully test-produced this \"Changjiang Brand\" Model 46 off-road vehicle in just over three months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In May 1958, China’s first off-road vehicle, the \"Changjiang Brand\" Model 46 jeep, finally rolled off the assembly line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This car was produced in 1959. Although it wasn't young, it was very well maintained. Previously, apart from the factory director and deputy factory directors, no one else had the qualifications to use it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Touching the military-green body, Cao Cao Weiguo couldn't help but feel excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an era where even bicycles weren't widespread, driving a car was quite an extraordinary thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Captain Liu Zhuang said enthusiastically: \"Section Chief Cao, come over whenever the car needs gas, and call me whenever there’s a breakdown. Don't be formal with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo stuffed a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes into Liu Zhuang’s hand: \"Thank you, Captain Liu. Don't worry, I won't be formal with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Getting into the car and starting the engine, Cao Cao Weiguo started the car with slight unfamiliarity, kicking up a cloud of dust as he drove out of the rolling mill and onto the street, attracting the attention of pedestrians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Awesome!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the car was old, it was simple to operate. Cao Cao Weiguo quickly mastered it, and the speed soared from 20 mph to 40 mph...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Beep beep beep!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The jeep drove into Nanluoguxiang, and Cao Cao Weiguo honked the horn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Yan Fugui, who was out for a stroll in the alley, turned his head to look, his eyes widening in shock. He then walked quickly to the side of the jeep: \"Cao Weiguo! What is this? What is this car?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo said smugly: \"Third Master, come up and sit for a bit. I’ll take you for a spin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Yan Fugui pulled the car door without hesitation: \"Great! Great! At my age, I’ve never sat in a car before. Hey, why won't this door open?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo smiled: \"The door is locked. Wait for me to open it for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Cao Cao Weiguo opened the door, Yan Yan Fugui sat in the car, his face full of excitement, wiggling his butt: \"Comfortable! So this is what it’s like inside a car! It’s really good! Cao Weiguo, drive, let’s get moving.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She sat in the car, wiggling her bottom: \"So comfortable! So this is what it's like inside a car! It's truly great! Cao Weiguo, start driving, let's get moving.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo stepped on the gas, and the jeep moved forward slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Yan Fugui grabbed the seat with both hands, shouting excitedly: \"It’s moving! It’s moving! It’s really moving! Slow down, slow down!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo laughed: \"Hahaha... Third Master, we’re not even going 5 mph. Any slower and the engine will stall.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Yan Fugui grabbed the seat and said: \"Cao Weiguo, stop at the gate of our courtyard, and honk the horn again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Beep! Beep beep!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo smiled: \"What are you doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Yan Fugui stuck his head out the window: \"Everyone, come out quickly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The residents of the courtyard heard the shouting and came out in twos and threes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first to come out was naturally Third Aunt, who was incredibly surprised to see Yan Yan Fugui sitting in the jeep: \"Old Yan! Oh my! How did you get to sit in a car!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Yan Fugui beamed: \"Hehe, I’m basking in Cao Weiguo’s glory. Look at how impressive this car is; it’s great inside. It moves as soon as you want it to; it’s really powerful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third Aunt ran to the car: \"Get out and let me sit for a bit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Yan Fugui grabbed the window: \"Don't, I haven't sat enough yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The neighbors walked to the gate, and seeing this scene, they were quite surprised, crowding around and talking all at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher Yan!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Third Master, you’re doing well, sitting in a car!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Third Master, what great contribution did you make?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cao Weiguo! How come you’re driving!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third Master said proudly: \"Hahaha, I’m basking in Cao Weiguo’s glory. Cao Weiguo insisted on inviting me to ride in the car, so I came up to experience it. And I have to say, sitting in this car is really comfortable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sha Zhu said with a face full of displeasure: \"Cao Cao Weiguo, be honest, where did you steal this car from? Did you steal it from the factory!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo sneered: \"Sha Zhu, is your skin itching again? If you think I stole this car, go report it right now. Stop being so sarcastic here, or don't blame me for beating you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sha Zhu’s face turned red with anger: \"Cao Cao Weiguo, what are you acting so tough for! What do you have to be tough about! Aren't you just a small section chief! Even if you didn't steal this car, you’re using a public vehicle for private use. You’re abusing your power for personal gain. Just wait, you’ll get what’s coming to you sooner or later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo smiled: \"Sha Zhu! Think whatever you want! Even if you think until your head explodes, you won't be able to hurt me in the slightest. You, you’d better hurry up and heal your arm, and get back to the cafeteria to wash dishes. Otherwise, your position as a handyman will be taken by someone else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sha Zhu glared in anger: \"You! You! Who are you trying to scare! Don't think you can threaten me with that job!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1028,"2026-06-16T08:10:16.781Z","2026-06-16T08:22:08.249Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","cce35693708067105ed0b3bc3f0bb3b3be4b1492b19cb9d8037355e32115f45f","siheyuan-the-salted-fish-s-beautiful-life-chapter-707","siheyuan-the-salted-fish-s-beautiful-life-chapter-705",843,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsiheyuan-the-salted-fish-s-good-life-cover.jpg"]
