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

Seeing the GAZ truck, Wang An remembered that he needed to hide it in the warehouse, and turned to ask Han Xiaomin:

"Sister Xiaomin, which warehouse in the store is empty right now? I need to put the car in there to thaw, and then I'll fix it when I have time tomorrow, otherwise the car will definitely break down on the way back."

Wang An wasn't entirely talking nonsense, because the engine oil in this GAZ-20 hadn't been changed even once since it was bought. Besides, given the long journey back, Wang An needed to do a thorough check before he could feel at ease.

Han Xiaomin said with some surprise:
"Is this your gas tank, Xiao An? Your gas tank is quite strange, huh? Most gas tanks have soft tops, why is yours hard top?"

Wang An didn't explain much, but simply smiled and said:
"I asked a friend to buy it for me. I don't really know much about these things, but it's convenient to have one when I go out, so I bought it without asking any questions."

In this day and age, it's actually quite rare for an individual to own a private car.

However, Han Xiaomin, Tao Wenjing, and Yuan Hongmei all knew that Wang An was a shareholder of the pharmaceutical factory, so while they were somewhat surprised that Wang An owned a private car, they didn't seem to be surprised at all.

In fact, when Wang An came to the medicinal herb wholesale market this time, he also found that the wholesale market was very different from before the Lunar New Year, and the biggest change was that there were more private cars.

Cars such as Lada, Polonaise, and Fiat, as well as trucks such as Dongfeng and Jiefang used for freight, have all appeared at the entrances of many medicinal herb wholesale stores.

It must be admitted that since the opening up, China has undergone tremendous changes, almost changing every day, which has greatly impressed Wang An, who has already experienced it all.

Of course, these changes are more noticeable in big cities, or in places with rapid economic development, such as medicinal herb wholesale markets.

In rural areas, however, there was little noticeable change; in fact, the overall changes in rural areas were minimal until the 90s.

The only noticeable change is that people's faces are no longer pale, their clothes are less patched, and there are a few more four-wheeled vehicles or hand tractors in each village, as well as a few more brick houses.
After Wang An finished speaking, Han Xiaomin nodded without asking further questions. She thought for a moment and then said:
"How about we put it in that small temporary storage room in the backyard? It's a bit small and we don't usually need it. It's mainly for storing the car so that unloading and shipping won't be delayed."

Wang An nodded indifferently and said:

"Sure, it's fine to put it anywhere, but the main problem is that the car can't be cleaned up until it's thawed."

As they were talking, under Han Xiaomin's direction, Wang An drove the car into a small alley in the backyard, and then reversed into a gate.

After locking the car and the gate, the group, led by Han Xiaomin, strolled to a restaurant called "Guests at Home" that was less than two miles from the store.

Upon entering the restaurant, one could immediately sense that its decor was considerably more upscale and formal than the restaurant where Han Xiaomin had treated Wang An and others to dinner before the Lunar New Year.

However, it is obvious that the price of this restaurant is much higher than that of the other restaurant.

Of course, no matter how high the income, Han Xiaomin could afford it. With a net income of more than 3 yuan a year, in the 80s, she could be considered one of the best among a small group of people, even nationwide.

If Wang An hadn't suddenly decided to put away the valuable bear bile and bezoar, his income for the year would have been less than Han Xiaomin's.

After entering the restaurant, Wang An and his group of six were seated in a luxurious private room by a waiter.

Although it was called a small private room, it was still about 25 square meters in size. The six of us ordered eight dishes, and the drinks were still the famous local Wuhejiao liquor.

Once the food and drinks were served, the six of them began to toast each other.

It was midday, and Wang An hadn't intended to drink much, but he couldn't resist Tao Wenjing and Yuan Hongmei's constant urging to drink. Since Wang An doesn't get drunk, he just kept drinking small cups of wine along with them.

The reason it was described as drinking in small cups was because the restaurant's cups looked quite large, but the actual volume of wine they held was very small. In Wang An's opinion, each cup of wine was less than an ounce, about 6 qian.

Soon, before they had eaten much of the food, the three bottles of baijiu were already empty, meaning that each of the six people present had drunk a full half jin (6ml) of baijiu.

They drank quickly, and the three women were even more affected by the alcohol. Their faces quickly turned rosy, almost dripping with moisture, and their behavior gradually became more unrestrained.

As soon as they entered the private room and took their seats, everyone had already taken off their cotton-padded coats, padded jackets, and fur coats and hung them on the wall. At this point, everyone was only wearing coats and sweaters.

So once the alcohol kicked in, no one could keep their coats on anymore. Partly because it was hot in the private room, and partly because wearing coats felt restrictive.

Wang An and the other two took off their coats and sweaters, leaving them only in shirts.

After the three women took off their coats, they were all wearing tight-fitting sweaters, one white, one pink, and one blue, revealing their hot figures without reservation.

Especially their proud chests, which are quite eye-catching.

For some reason, when Wang An looked at Yuan Hongmei raising her glass again, he suddenly remembered the time before the New Year when he woke Wang Li up to practice martial arts and he had ambushed her with her milky white breasts.

To be honest, that feeling was actually quite memorable!

Just as Wang An was pondering when to launch another sneak attack, he saw Tao Wenjing and Yuan Hongmei fall into Mu Xueli and Wang Li's arms respectively.

Wang An saw it very clearly; it was definitely these two women who took the initiative. Because they hadn't seen each other for almost a year, Wang Li and Mu Xueli were still a bit unfamiliar with them and hadn't figured out how to make a move!
It must be said that the divorced young woman's affection and longing for the young man was far greater than the young man's affection and longing for her.

So, before they had even finished eating half of the meal, Mu Xueli and Tao Wenjing, and Wang Li and Yuan Hongmei, started fumbling and tapping away at each other, oblivious to everyone else around them.

This was shown to Wang An, and it was utterly speechless.

Can't we just have a quiet meal in the middle of the day?

So, Wang An reached out and pulled Han Xiaomin, who wanted to lean closer but was too shy to, into his arms. Then, his large hands began to wander around her.

Every day, it's like everyone has a woman in their life, damn it!
The groping and fiddling of these three couples instantly transformed the atmosphere in the private room into something more suggestive. (End of Chapter)
