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

In the evening, the group went to a different restaurant, ordered a table full of food and ate heartily, without even ordering a bottle of wine.

The main problem was that these three couples had spent almost the entire afternoon doing manual labor, and they were all starving.

After dinner, the three couples, as usual, went to dance at a disco for a while.

Fortunately, although Han Xiaomin and her two companions' dancing still attracted attention, no one dared to approach them, allowing the six of them to have a happy time in the dance hall all night.

Back at the hotel, the three couples engaged in another round of pre-sleep activities before finally going to sleep in pairs.

Time flies, the years are like a shuttle.

Unfortunately, good times are always short-lived, because three days slipped away unnoticed.

Today marks the 9th day since Wang An and his two companions were released, and it is also the day they chose to return to the city.

Unfortunately, while this place of comfort and pleasure may make one reluctant to leave, it can only serve as a spice in life; everyone's life still has to return to normal.

Of course, this kind of excessive chatter is also a huge drain on the physical strength and energy of men.

This morning, Wang An's biological clock, which usually wakes him up precisely on time every day, miraculously stopped working, causing him to sleep until almost 8 o'clock before waking up.

Wang An didn't get up, and naturally Wang Li and Mu Xueli were the same.

The main problem was that last night, after learning that Wang An and his two companions were leaving today, Han Xiaomin and her two companions went completely mad. They kept pestering Wang An and his two companions, almost draining them dry.

However, the actions of these three women were clearly a case of "hurting the enemy a thousand while losing a hundred of their own."

This morning, when they saw Wang An and the other two off, the three women's walking posture had changed, clearly indicating that some part of their bodies had suffered severe damage, making it difficult for them to even walk.

Why bother saying what you should say?

Because it was close to the Gregorian New Year, Han Xiaomin settled Wang An's share of the dividends, which was more than 17,000 yuan, with Wang An.

However, Wang An only took 15,000 yuan, and the remaining 2,000 yuan was all given directly to Han Xiaomin.

The reason Wang An did this was because Han Xiaomin had paid for all the expenses during his stay in Anguo, amounting to more than 1 yuan.

That's right, it's just over 1 yuan, mainly for accommodation, food, drinks, and disco dancing. These are all high-end expenses.

Although Han Xiaomin is no longer the same person she was a year ago, and she is now a veritable little rich woman, and as the host, it wouldn't be wrong for her to pay for all the expenses, Wang An, as a grown man, has no intention of taking advantage of this.

After saying goodbye to Han Xiaomin and the other two, Wang An and his companions drove off towards Yandu with their car loaded with nearly a million yuan, along with the food and local specialties that Han Xiaomin and the other two had prepared for them the day before.

This time, however, Wang An and his two companions were not just passing through Yandu; Wang An also wanted to sell all the watches in the car.

Although it is located under the emperor's nose, it is also a gathering place for wealthy people in the north.

While it's true that Harbin, CC, and Fengtian also had the capability to acquire these watches, the train line at the time ran from Harbin to Fengtian.

Wang An believed that even though nearly a year had passed, the train robbery was far from over, so selling the stolen goods in Northeast China was far too dangerous.

Wang An knew that in the Chaoyang District of Yandu, there was a very large secondhand antique market, which was the very famous Fan Jiayuan Antique Market.

It is only in places with a very large flow of people and a large number of wealthy people that it is easy to sell those expensive watches.

Most importantly, transportation and information were underdeveloped in those days, so if the incident came to light later, it would be quite difficult to trace it back to Wang An.

In fact, the safest option would have been to sell the stolen goods in the south, but the journey was too long, and Wang An simply couldn't be bothered with it.

On the way, Wang Li said as he drove:

"Fourth Brother, I feel like this car is much more powerful to drive since the oil was changed."

Wang An was thinking about selling watches, so when he heard Wang Li's question, he casually replied:
"That's nonsense. The new engine oil has better lubrication, so it will definitely feel more powerful when you step on it."

As soon as Wang An finished speaking, Mu Xueli asked in confusion:

"Brother-in-law, why do we have to add engine oil to the engine? Can't we do it without it?"

Upon hearing this, Wang An was stunned for a moment, then said with a speechless expression:

"Without lubrication, you're just letting the piston and cylinder grind against each other? Won't that cause cylinder scoring very quickly?"

After Wang An finished speaking, Wang Li suddenly blinked, looking puzzled, and said:
"So if that's the case, then engine oil is for lubrication?"

Wang An nodded and said, "Yeah, it's not just for lubrication. It has many other uses, such as cooling the engine, cleaning the dirt inside, preventing corrosion, damping vibrations, and preventing rust. Wow, it has a whole bunch of uses. What? You want to learn car repair?"

After saying that, Wang An continued:

"Learning to repair cars is also a good idea. You two should both learn it. It will come in handy when you're at home repairing diesel engines or something, and you'll need to fix the car if it breaks down."

The three of them chatted and talked, and soon they left BD territory and arrived in Yandu.

Of course, when passing through the border, you inevitably have to pay a few cents for the so-called "toll".

Fortunately, the toll collectors let us through immediately after receiving the money, and there was no conflict, which was a good thing.

When you're out and about, who doesn't want things to go smoothly? Who likes to practice martial arts or brandish weapons all the time?

Upon entering the western part of Yandu, Wang An instructed Wang Li to pull over and sit in the back, while Wang An himself drove the car.

On the way, Wang An told Wang Li and Mu Xueli that once they arrived in Yandu, they would go to Fan Jiayuan to sell those watches.

Wang Li and Mu Xueli were completely clueless about Yandu, and besides, they were used to listening to Wang An, so naturally they did whatever Wang An arranged.

Wang An first drove around the streets for a while, briefly observing the people's clothing, and then parked the car outside the supply and marketing cooperative.

I went into the supply and marketing cooperative and bought some cosmetics and a small mirror for opera makeup, as well as a military green cotton hat, a green cotton-padded coat, a pair of dark blue trousers, and a pair of cloth shoes.

As for the purpose of buying these things, it was that Wang An wanted to change his image.

The reason why he observed the clothes before buying them was because the clothes Wang An bought were the most commonly worn by people on the street.

Back in the car, Wang An drove to the vicinity of the Fan Jia Yuan Antique Market, then took Wang Li and Mu Xueli for a couple of laps around the area before asking:
Are you two familiar with this area?

After receiving affirmative answers from both of them, Wang An parked his car in a place with very little foot traffic.

Immediately afterward, under the watchful eyes of Wang Li and Mu Xueli, Wang An changed into these clothes, pants, and shoes, and then used the makeup of an opera singer to haphazardly fuss over his large face.

To be honest, although Wang An didn't know how to disguise himself, after all that tinkering, his appearance really did change drastically.

At first glance, it looks like a monster that crawled out of a graveyard.

Wang Li and Mu Xueli couldn't help but laugh when they saw how awful Wang An had made himself look.

When Wang An saw the two men laughing, he raised his fist and punched them repeatedly, immediately silencing the two idiots.

After finishing the beating, Wang An said in an annoyed tone:
"What are you laughing at? What's so funny? Why don't you two go and sell those watches?"

But when Wang An looked in the mirror again, he couldn't help but laugh at himself.

The main problem is the makeup; it looks so fake and unnatural.

After frowning and looking at it for a long time, Wang An asked Wang Li and Mu Xueli:
"Which of you two knows how to do makeup? Hurry up and fix it for me, my makeup looks so fake, it makes me look like a coward."

Mu Xueli thought for a moment and said:

"I have seen the group of people in our village doing Yangko dances putting on makeup. I probably know how to do the makeup for the sedan chair bearers."

Upon hearing this, Wang An chose to believe Mu Xueli without hesitation.

The main problem is that there's nothing we can do if we don't believe it; anyway, even if it's terrible, it'll still be about the same as what Wang An himself drew.

So, Wang An wet the towel in the car with water and started wiping his face, which he had just finished applying makeup.

Although it wasn't as clean as washing, this is the best we can do now, so we'll just have to make do.

After Wang An finished wiping his face, Mu Xueli took an eyebrow pencil and started applying makeup to his face.

Soon, Wang An's face changed again. Although the drawing was still very rough, at least it looked much more natural, the kind of roughness that looks very natural.

After finishing his makeup, Wang An looked at himself in the mirror and nodded in satisfaction.
"It's alright, pretty good, better than mine."

As he spoke, Wang An tore open one side of the fur on the front of his cotton hat, letting one corner of the fur droop down, and then said to Mu Xueli and Wang Li:
"You two try not to get out of the car and don't move around too much. If you need to pee, just pee into the jar first."

Wang An couldn't afford to be careless. This Yandu was very different from the mountains. In the mountains, killing a few outsiders wouldn't be a big deal, but here, the controls were very strict.

Wang An didn't want to get arrested just for selling a stolen watch; that would be incredibly humiliating!
After saying that, Wang An, carrying a sack full of watches, got out of the car and walked into the antique market. (End of Chapter)
