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

After Wang An finished speaking, Mu Xueli agreed and turned to run into the house.

Soon, Mu Xueli came out with a small cloth bag. Wang An took it, opened it, and glanced at it. Seeing that it contained nine stacks of ten-yuan notes, he handed it to Brother Hu, saying with a smile:

"9 yuan, Brother Hu, please click it."

After handing the car's paperwork to Wang An, Brother Hu and the person who came with him counted the 9 yuan.

Soon, Brother Hu finished counting all the money, and Wang An had already checked all the paperwork for the Great Liberation.

Surprisingly, the car's paperwork is quite complete: driver's license, registration certificate, the contract Dai Hongsheng signed when he bought the car, and the contract between Dai Hongsheng and Brother Hu—all of these are there.

The most incredible thing is that the vehicle wasn't registered under Dai Hongsheng's name; instead, it was registered under the name of an iron mine in another county.

Fortunately, the transfer agreement has the official seal of the iron mine, so there's no need to worry that the iron mine will do something disgusting under the pretext of "the car being stolen".

Wang An signed another agreement with Hu Ge, thus completing the transaction.

And this nearly new Jiefang truck now belongs entirely to Wang An.

Brother Hu declined Wang An's offer to drive him home, and hurriedly left with his partner, taking the money as if he were afraid Wang An would change his mind.

After the two left, Mu Xueli followed Wang An and walked around the Liberation truck. Mu Xueli then said, quite happily:
"You know what, this car looks quite new and decent. Brother-in-law, is this car really worth 15,000 or 16,000?"

Wang An nodded, also looking pleased, and said:
"Absolutely. This is a 6-cylinder, 5.6-liter Jiefang truck with a 4-ton load capacity. It can easily carry 15 or 16 tons. Let me tell you, if you were to buy a Jiefang truck of this age and condition normally, you wouldn't find it for 20,000 yuan. We've really gotten a great deal."

In Wang An's opinion, the market price of this Jiefang truck should be around 2 to 3 yuan, because the truck was priced at nearly 4 yuan when it left the factory.

Of course, this was also the most classic, most durable, and longest-serving of the batch of Liberation trucks.

Even twenty or thirty years later, this vehicle can still be seen speeding on the road, and it can be seen everywhere in mines and urban greening teams.

Patting the car body, Wang An said with a happy expression:

"Great, really great, this car was totally worth it, hahaha!"

Mu Xueli suddenly said with a worried expression:

"Brother-in-law, what if Dai Hongsheng hires someone to steal the car? Didn't you say that the people behind Dai Hongsheng are really powerful?"

Wang An, with an air of domineering arrogance and utter disdain, said:

"The guy behind him is awesome, but that's how others see him. In DJ County, who do we guys rely on? He's just bragging. He'll scare them to death."

Wang An wasn't exaggerating when he said that. Given Wu Dong and Zhang Shuya's power and status in DJ County, it might be a bit of an exaggeration to say that Wang An could do whatever he wanted in DJ County, but he believed that Wu Dong and his team could easily handle any official matters.

As the saying goes, "It's good to have a big tree to lean on," which is exactly the point.

After Wang An finished speaking, the worry on Mu Xueli's face vanished instantly, and she said with a grin:

"So you were just kidding me when you said you'd spend 6 yuan on a talisman?"

Upon hearing this, Wang An kicked Mu Xueli and said with a disgruntled expression:
"I've given away so many gifts this year, it must be several times the original price of 6! Damn it, can't you think before you speak?"

Although the relationship between Wang An and Wu Dong and the other second-generation rich kids was not built on money from the beginning, it was still quite solid.

However, the amount of good things that Wang An gave to Wu Dong and Zhang Shuya every year was still quite large.

Of course, Wu Dong and Zhang Shuya also helped Wang An a lot and gave him many nice things. So in this respect, it can't be said that anyone benefited or suffered a loss; it was just a normal maintenance of relationships.

Mu Xueli didn't dare to get angry after being kicked, and chuckled as she rubbed her bottom:

"Now we don't need to borrow a car anymore, no matter where we go, that's great."

Wang An nodded, and said with great excitement:
"Yeah, no need to borrow a car. Once we've collected a truckload of furs, we'll take them straight to the fur market in Jilin City and sell them. We'll make a good profit from this truckload of furs, hahaha."

After saying that, Wang An walked towards the driver's seat and said:
"Xue Li, get in the car, let's take it for a spin, I want to see how it drives."

This Jiefang truck has an electric ignition function, but it only works in the summer or when the truck is already warm. In the cold winter, if you want to start it, you not only have to boil water to warm the truck, but you can also only start it by cranking the handle.

That's right, it's started by cranking the handle.

Cars of this era generally have a crank start function, mainly because the probability of electric ignition failure is too high. Without the crank start function, many cars would be completely broken down.

He started the car, pressed the clutch to engage gears, released the clutch and pressed the accelerator. With a loud roar from the engine, Wang An turned the steering wheel, and the Jiefang truck circled the yard once before driving out the gate.

It has to be said that having a big yard is a great advantage; even a large truck like the Jiefang can turn around and leave without needing to put it in reverse.

After driving for a while, Wang An said excitedly:
"Holy crap, this 5.6-liter diesel engine is really powerful. When you step on the gas, this car is incredibly fast."

Mu Xueli immediately echoed:

"Yeah, I had a feeling this car was special before I came here. It's much more powerful than that Jinbei double cab."

Wang An smiled and said:

"That one only has a 2.5L engine, while this one has a 5.6L engine, so they're definitely different."

And so, the two of them drove the Liberation truck around the village for a while before Wang An drove the car back to his own yard.

When the large Jiefang truck entered the yard, Wang Dazhu and his wife, who had been busy in the greenhouse in the backyard, returned to the front yard. They were stunned when they saw the Jiefang truck suddenly appear in the yard.

Only after Wang An and Mu Xueli jumped out of the car did Wang Dazhu ask, dumbfounded:

"Where would you put a big truck?"

Liu Guilan also looked at Wang An.

Upon hearing this, Wang An said with a smug look on his face:
"This is a brand new car! I just bought it a short while ago. What do you think of it? Hehehe."

Upon hearing this, Liu Guilan immediately spoiled the mood by saying:

"Buying another car, buying another car! We already have so many cars, and you still want to buy more? You spendthrift!"

Wang An wasn't angry; he smiled broadly, but pretended to look worried as he said:
"Sigh! There's nothing I can do. It's just that I'm making way too much money."

After a pause, Wang An feigned a puzzled expression and said:

"Mom, if I don't spend money often, I'll be itching with anxiety, feeling restless and irritable. Mom, what's wrong with me?"

As soon as Wang An finished speaking, Liu Guilan froze for several seconds, and then, a furious roar erupted from her teeth in the courtyard:
"You little rascal, Wang An, you're always making me angry!" (End of Chapter)
