Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 713 A man is a boy until he dies

After sending Wu Dong and the other two out of the yard and watching them ride away on their bikes, Wang Dazhui and his wife, Wang An and his wife, and Wang Yi and the other four turned around and walked back into the yard.

In Northeast China, this is considered a kind of etiquette. Generally, only when facing very important guests will the whole family, except for children, go out to see the guests off to the courtyard.

After the family returned to the courtyard, Wang Dazhu asked Wang An:

"What's the matter with the sidecar? Are you buying another sidecar? Then it's useless, right?"

Although Wang Dazhu's tone was somewhat blaming, it clearly conveyed the feeling of "a grown-up son is no longer under the control of his father."

Liu Guilan said to Wang Andao dissatisfiedly:
"Aren't you a pure spendthrift? What's the point of buying a sidecar? I heard from your grandfather that the Japanese used to ride this thing and never moved before winter here."

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

"Xiao An, our parents are right. This thing is useless before winter. It can only be used for walking. It's so cold. How come you can still ride it?"

I have to say, in this family, it seems that Wang An is the only one who spends money lavishly and doesn't even consider saving money.

After the three of them finished speaking, it was finally Wang An's turn to speak. Then, Wang An smiled proudly and said:

"You three guys won't let me say a word. I didn't buy this sidecar. It was given to me as a thank-you gift by my eldest sister and Wu Dong and the other six. I led them to make money a few days ago, so they didn't let me refuse their small gesture."

After Wang An finished speaking, Wang Dazhui and his wife and Mu Xueqing were stunned for a moment, and even the way they looked at the backpack changed.

Wang Dazhu murmured:

"Did you spend any money? Then your elder sister and the others are blaming the outsiders."

Liu Guilan also frowned and said:

"Then we are just going to take this expensive thing for free, is that appropriate?"

Wang An looked at his honest parents and couldn't help but wonder why such an honest couple would give birth to such a fool like him, no, a smart and capable son?

Wang An said with a smile on his face:
"Oh, don't worry. If I didn't accept it, they would think it was inappropriate. There are many other things involved. It's just a matter of going back and forth. Don't worry about it."

After hearing what Wang An said, Wang Dazhui and his wife and Mu Xueqing finally felt relieved.

But then, Wang Dazhu frowned and asked:

"I almost forgot to ask you, didn't you take Lao Wu with you? Why did you guys come back? Where is Lao Wu? Where did Lao Wu go?"

Wang An turned his head and said with a smile:

"Lao Wu was jealous of me buying a car, so he started to complain and wanted Wang Shuai to buy him a walk-behind tractor. After that, we helped Wang Shuai and he used his connections to buy him one."

When Wang Dazhu heard this, he smiled and said:
"Then we have to say that Lao Wu has done the right thing. He hung out with you for the whole morning and did nothing, and even came back with a whole walking tractor. Hahaha, this kid is lucky, luckier than you! Hahaha."

Wang An nodded with a smile and said:

"Yeah, the money for Lao Wu to buy a walk-behind tractor was paid by me and my eldest sister. This kid is really lucky."

Liu Guilan suddenly asked in confusion:

"Why didn't that old fifth bastard bring your second uncle and the others to eat at noon? Oh, it's my fault. I was so busy looking at our car that I didn't think about them. You're the one who caused this trouble." Wang Dazhu said nonchalantly:
"Hey, they are all family, it's okay to knock them. Besides, they bought a car, so we should at least put it at home to show our respect."

Liu Guilan nodded and stopped thinking about it.

After the family entered the house, Liu Guilan and Mu Xueqing began to clean up the dishes. Wang Dazhu lit a cigarette and thought for a long time, then said to Wang An with a sullen face:
"Xiao An, can we get one of those hand tractors and four-wheelers to go to the fields in the afternoon? It's time for us to plant rice seedlings. If we can use a tractor to turn the soil, it will be much faster than using a horse."

Wang An thought about it, mainly thinking about himself, whether there was anything he should do. After thinking about it, Wang An found that he seemed to have nothing to do.

So, Wang An said with a smile:

"It must be able to work in the fields. Let's go unload the truck now and replace the plow. I'll teach you how to drive the two trucks. After that, the two trucks will belong to you. What do you say, Dad?"

Wang Dazhu was stunned for a moment, then rolled his eyes at Wang An and said:

"You are so smart, you try to avoid farm work if you can. Don't worry, your mother and I will do all the work. We don't need you. Look how scared you are."

I have to say, the saying “No one knows a son better than his father” is very true. Wang Dazhui guessed Wang An’s little thoughts directly.

The main reason is that Wang An really has no interest in farming.

Apart from being able to get some food, which means not starving to death, I've never heard of anyone getting rich from this thing.

Hearing Wang Dazhu's words, Wang An smiled awkwardly, then said with a grin:
"Look at you, Dad. I have things to do every day. Otherwise, I would have gone to farm with you guys."

Wang Dazhu glanced at Wang An, and said with disdain as he stood up:

"Go play with your balls now. You've been naughty since you were little. I'm your father, how could I not know you?"

After a pause, Wang Dazhu continued:
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and change the plow quickly. Then teach me how to drive."

When he said the last sentence, Wang Dazhu's face was already full of excitement, and he was obviously looking forward to being able to drive soon.

He is in his 40s and still looks forward to driving. It shows that the saying "A man is a boy until he dies" basically applies to all men.

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

"Dad, do you want to learn to drive a hand tractor first, or a four-wheel vehicle first?"

Wang Dazhu looked around and pointed at the hand tractor and said:
"Learn it first. Before I started working at the forest farm a few years ago, I always wanted to drive this thing, but I never had the chance."

No one expected that Wang Dazhu would become obsessed with driving a walk-behind tractor.

It's normal to think about it. Wang Dazhu is a dexterous person. He can even repair rare things like chainsaws. Now that he sees a walk-behind tractor, he must figure it out.

The father and son worked together and quickly unloaded the truck and loaded the plow.

Then Wang An began to teach Wang Dazhu how to drive a tractor in a very detailed manner.

It has to be said that the reason why Wang An can learn anything is probably because he inherited it from Wang Dazhu, because after a few minutes, Wang Dazhu can get the hang of it.
