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

Upon hearing Boss Geng's words, Wang An's eyes lit up, and he said:

"Did he tell me where to find him?"

Although he and Cui Tianbing were brothers, Wang An was still somewhat reluctant to go to Cui Tianbing's house to find him.

There's no way around it; the main reason is that Cui Tianbing's mother, who is the deputy mayor, really dislikes Wang An! You could even say she utterly despises him.

Wang An wasn't sick, so why would he want to make himself uncomfortable?

Upon hearing this, Boss Geng was stunned for a moment, then glared at Wang An and said in a very annoyed tone:
"You're just spouting nonsense. Where are you going to find him? Of course you're going to his house! Damn it, where do you think we're going to find him?"

Wang An smiled and was about to speak when he heard Boss Geng say again:

He said his house is located at No. 9, Zhengfu Family Compound, and that if he runs into you, he will let you know so you can go find him as soon as possible.

Wang An nodded, glanced at Boss Geng's shrewd face, then took out a cigarette and offered it to him, saying in a somewhat annoyed tone:
"Thank you, Uncle Geng. I just wanted to ask, why didn't you tell me about this before I came here?"

At this moment, Wang An wished he could get out of the car and kick that old bastard Geng a few times. Just to sell two celestial pots, he insisted on waiting until the celestial pots were loaded onto the car before he would talk about it. It was really speechless!

However, no matter what, this old guy was actually quite considerate, because if he hadn't said anything, Wang An really wouldn't have been able to do anything about it.

After Wang An finished speaking, Boss Geng took the cigarette, chuckled, and said:

"I forgot about it just now, but I just remembered, I just remembered, hehehehe."

Wang An took out a windproof lighter, lit Boss Geng's cigarette, and said:
"Alright, I'm leaving. You go ahead and do your thing."

As he spoke, Wang An turned the key and drove away from the blacksmith shop.

Boss Geng didn't forget to wave and say:

"Bring me whatever you're missing."

But after Wang An drove away, Boss Geng chuckled and muttered to himself:

"If I had told you earlier, what would have happened if you hadn't bought the sky pot?"

Shaking his head, Boss Geng returned to his blacksmithing post with a smug look on his face.

After leaving the blacksmith shop, Wang An thought for a moment and then drove to Cui Tianbing's house.

Although he didn't know what Cui Tianbing wanted to see him about, and his mother noticed that his eyelids were bruised, Wang An still decided to go over.

A few minutes later, Wang An parked his car outside Cui Tianbing's house.

Staring at the door that nearly hit his nose, Wang An hesitated for a long time before finally getting out of the car.

After getting out of the car, Wang An shouted towards the gate.

"Cui Tianbing, come out."

"Cui Tianbing, come out."

After Wang An shouted twice and waited a little while, the gate opened from the inside.

When Wang An saw who came out, he was first taken aback, then shouted excitedly:

"Foolish soldier, hahahaha."

The person who opened the door exclaimed in surprise:
"You big lunatic, hahahahaha."

After the exclamation, the two men, one inside the gate and the other outside, laughed loudly and simultaneously raised their fists, punching each other in the shoulder and elbow.

After each punching the other, the two looked at each other and burst into laughter again.

To be honest, the way these two greeted each other was quite bizarre. However, it was clear that they were both very happy and excited.

For Cui Tianbing, it had been three or four years since he last met Wang An, while for Wang An, it had been forty or fifty years since they last met.

Wang An looked at Cui Tianbing and said:
"Wow, you've changed a lot in the past few years! I remember you were only 1.7 meters tall when you first left, right? You must be 1.8 meters tall now!"

Cui Tianbing looked at Wang An and said with some surprise:
"Wait a minute, I've finally grown to 1.79 meters tall, and I was thinking I was almost catching up with you, but why do I still feel like I'm not as tall as you?"

Upon hearing this, Wang An chuckled and said:

"Absolutely, I have to be a head taller than you no matter what."

Then, the two of them burst into laughter again.

After laughing, Cui Tianbing suddenly spoke with a sincere expression:

"Big brother, it's been almost four years since I last saw you. I've missed you so much! Oh, and Haozi too, I miss him too."

Looking at his good brother before him, Wang An was filled with emotion. He patted Cui Tianbing on the shoulder and said with a smile:

"That's like you're saying I don't miss you two, hahaha."

The "mouse" that Cui Tianbing mentioned is actually named Xu Yunhao. He is the youngest member of the "Iron Triangle" and the brother who went to live in another city with his mother and stepfather.

The two chatted for a while longer across the doorway, when Cui Tianbing suddenly slapped his forehead, as if waking from a dream, and said:
"Look at us, how come we're chatting at the gate? Brother, come inside quickly."

Just as Wang An was about to lift his leg, he subconsciously thought of the look of disgust on Cui Tianbing's mother's face when she looked at him.

So Wang An pulled his raised leg back down and grabbed Cui Tianbing's arm, saying:

"Let's find a restaurant, and chat over drinks."

Wang An may have a thick skin, but it depends on when and to whom.

If an ordinary person dared to treat Wang An that way, Wang An would have slapped them across the face long ago and asked, "What the hell are you trying to fool me with?"

But when it came to his brother's mother, Wang An could only keep his distance. He couldn't very well slap his brother's mother, could he?

After Wang An finished speaking, Cui Tianbing, without any regard for Wang An being an outsider, said:

"Why go to a restaurant? It's so much better to just stay at my place. My mom will cook a couple of dishes when she gets off work, and then we can have a drink. It's been so many years since we last saw each other."

After Cui Tianbing finished speaking, Wang An took the initiative to say:
"Hey Bingzi, how about we go chat in my car for a bit? I have to go back soon."

Wang An didn't want to go inside mainly to avoid an awkward encounter with Cui Tianbing's mother.

Although Cui Tianbing was a little confused, seeing Wang An's resolute attitude, he followed Wang An onto the GAZ.

As soon as he got into the car, Cui Tianbing looked around at the interior of the GAZ truck and said:

"It has to be you, big brother. My mom, a deputy mayor, still rides a bicycle every day, but you've already got a car so quickly."

Wang An smiled slightly and said:

"A friend helped me sort through these secondhand items; they're not worth much."

And so, the two of them started chatting in the car.

Wang An told Cui Tianbing about his situation over the past few years, including leaving the gangster circle, going hunting in the mountains, getting married and having children, and now being a company guard.

Cui Tianbing also told Wang An about some things that happened in the team.

However, it's clear from Cui Tianbing's words that he only wants to recover now, and he desperately wants to. (End of Chapter)
