Chapter 623 Borrowing a Car to Tianjin
"Lily, it's time to go to school!"
With a shout, Zhang Haixing pushed open the door and walked in.
Chen Li sat on a stool in the kitchen, her face full of reluctance, her mouth pouting high, and she muttered, "Uncle is going to take me shopping for a lot of things. I want to buy roast duck for the big pot, and I also want to buy beautiful new clothes and nice picture books."
"I don't want to go to school!"
Li Yunlong, who had just walked to the kitchen door, heard this and his smiling face suddenly changed.
His eyes rolled, and he came up with a plan. He turned around, reached out and grabbed the old man beside him, and walked towards the main hall with big strides. As he walked, he kept muttering, "Veterinarian, I'm not saying anything bad about you. After all, I'm a general now, and you don't even let me sit in the main hall? How can this be justified?"
When the old man heard this, he was also very skilled. Even though he was being pulled by Li Yunlong, he said calmly, "Lily, don't go to class today. Ask your brother Bayi to ask for leave from the teacher. Later, let your uncle take you out to go shopping."
Li Yunlong, who was holding the old man's hand, felt his hand shaking unconsciously and thought to himself that something was wrong.
He quickly turned his head to look at the guard beside him, constantly exchanging glances.
The guard was an honest boy. He answered seriously, "General, don't worry. I only brought three cents with me when I went out today. I will definitely not buy anything carelessly."
After hearing this, Li Yunlong burst into laughter.
"Haha, veterinarian, look, even if we want to buy something, we can't. We only have this pitiful thirty cents!"
After saying that, he winked at the old man.
"Is the car full of gas?" the old man asked calmly.
The guard nodded and said, "It's full. We just added it the day before yesterday."
Li Yunlong secretly cried out inwardly, "Oh no!"
Although the cars and oil are public, there is a limit to the amount of oil that can be reimbursed each month. If you exceed the limit, you need to pay it yourself. Otherwise, the cars in the compound can be used without restraint by those young people to go out and play.
The old man smiled and said, "My grandson hasn't been to Tianjin to visit his grandfather for a long time. It's a good opportunity to borrow it today."
Li Yunlong almost wanted to cry.
The round trip from Tianjin to Sijiucheng will probably use up 80% of the gasoline in my box. If I want to travel around in the second half of the month, such as going hunting in the mountains, I'm afraid I can only ride a bicycle to the mountain village.
On the other side, Chen Li in the kitchen was very happy.
"Sister, I don't have to go to class. I want to go shopping!"
After saying that, he ran out to find Hu Bayi, fearing that the old man would regret his decision and disagree.
Chen Hao was sitting in the car, nominally guarding the car, but actually pretending to be the driver.
Hu Bayi sat aside to prevent Chen Hao from doing anything wrong.
"Brother Bayi, I'm not going to school today!" Chen Li ran to the gate of the courtyard, stepped on the base of the car door, and stood next to Hu Bayi in the passenger seat.
"Grandpa agreed. I'm going to drive to buy some things. Please go to school and ask for leave for me."
"Drive to school?" Chen Hao asked excitedly.
Hu Bayi shook his head and said, "I don't know how to drive."
"Brother, we can!" Chen Hao wanted to call Chen Feng. The reason why he liked riding in a car was mainly because no family had a car nowadays, and being able to travel by car represented the identity and status of the upper class.
That is what we call “majestic”!
This is just like how internet celebrities in later generations must be equipped with luxury cars, and the second generation must be equipped with sports cars, it is a necessity for showing off!
"Forget about it, your brother is heating up the food." Ouyang Qing kicked the football away, and a group of children chased the football. He ran to the door and said casually.
Several children were playing football. Li Jie, Jiang Hongjun and others also joined in and passed the ball to each other.
"Hu Bayi, it's past eight forty now, go to school and ask for leave."
Hu Bayi nodded, took the car keys from Chen Hao, and rode his bicycle to the sports school.
"Haozi, don't move."
Chen Hao rolled his eyes: "I'm not a fool!"
When Chen Feng took the heated meat to the main hall, the old man casually suggested that he could drive to Tianjin with Lily and the others and come back in the evening.
"Chen Feng, can you drive?" Li Yunlong looked at Chen Feng with concern, wondering in his heart whether this boy was reliable.
It's no wonder he thinks so. They started from scratch and have come to where they are today by stealing weapons from bald heads and supplies from the Japanese. They are used to saving every bullet.
For someone who can drink several meals with a bottle of soju, it is difficult to see how valuable a big item like a car is.
"Why don't you let my guard go with you so that we can look after each other on the road."
These guards are capable people who have multiple duties.
They are not only excellent drivers and pilots, but also proficient in car repairs, and their other skills are probably good too. It can be said that these guards are all-rounders!
Hearing what Li Yunlong said, Chen Feng was full of confidence and replied with a smile: "Uncle Li, don't worry! I promise to return safely before 10 o'clock tonight."
After saying that, he went out and shouted to Chen Hao who was sitting in the car, "Chen Hao, go to the cellar and help me bring up three watermelons, ten kilograms of pork, and a dozen pheasant eggs."
"Mom, I'm going to go to my uncle's house in Uncle Li's car later. Please bring some more rice and flour and I'll take them over."
After everything was ready, Chen Feng personally walked up to the guard and asked in detail about the performance of the vehicle, paying special attention to the fuel consumption.
After all, in that era, the quality of domestic automobile engines was really not satisfactory (even in later generations, there was still a big gap compared with those advanced foreign engines), and there was generally a problem of excessive fuel consumption.
Often, a full tank of gasoline can only support the car to travel three or four hundred kilometers.
"What's wrong? Go quickly if you need to, and come back early."
Li Yunlong was a man who couldn't sit still. Knowing that he could not keep his car, he was too lazy to resist. He had braised meat in his left hand and Fenjiu in his right hand, and was enjoying the meal very much.
Hearing the discussion outside the main hall, he walked out on purpose.
"Can't open it?"
Chen Feng shook his head and said, "I like to drive fast, but it consumes a lot of fuel. Let's make sure there is enough fuel first."
"Is it not enough?" Li Yunlong frowned and said, "If it's not enough, go to the compound first and drain the oil from Ding Wei's car!"
The corners of Chen Feng's mouth twitched.
This uncle is worthy of being Ding Wei’s lifelong friend. He doesn’t even blink an eye when he is cheating!
This friendship is awesome!
"General, don't worry about this. There is a pot of spare gasoline in the car, enough for a hundred kilometers." The guard said specifically.
As a military vehicle in a military compound, it is naturally impossible for it to be without spare gasoline. What if an emergency occurs and the tank is out of oil? There is no gas station every few dozen miles. Where can we go to refuel?
Basically, any capable guard would keep a bottle of gasoline as a backup.
