I'm back in 1990

Chapter 209: Reporting Smuggled Cars

The two went out the door and were walking towards their car when suddenly a horn blared behind them, repeatedly honking as if the driver was very impatient. Huang Xiaochuan and Yu Wei turned around to look.

It seems that the glance had an effect; the Mazda immediately stopped honking.

However, a man got out of the car. He was short, wearing sunglasses and a mid-length leather coat with a mink collar that made his legs look even shorter. He was dressed like a typical nouveau riche.

The man took the initiative to greet Huang Xiaochuan: "Isn't this Huang Xiaochuan? What's wrong? Don't you recognize your old classmate?"

Huang Xiaochuan took a closer look and exclaimed, "Damn, what a coincidence!" He remembered that these people lived in the grain bureau's residential compound.

You can't hit someone who's smiling, especially since the other party took the initiative to greet Huang Xiaochuan.

"Bian Wo! Long time no see, you're doing pretty well! You're even driving a car now?"

"Not bad! Anyway, you saw it. But Huang Xiaochuan, how are you doing? I heard the class monitor dumped you and went abroad. I knew it would be like this. A toad can't eat swan meat."

Upon hearing this person immediately belittle Huang Xiaochuan, Yu Wei instantly flew into a rage: "You!"

Huang Xiaochuan grabbed Yu Wei and gave him a look. Yu Wei glared at Bian Wo a few times, then stood angrily next to Huang Xiaochuan without saying a word.

Because they needed to move things while delivering New Year's gifts, Zeng Lijuan was worried that Huang Xiaochuan would get the several thousand yuan worth of winter clothes dirty, so she asked Huang Xiaochuan to change into an old cotton-padded coat that he used to wear at home.

Bian Wo thought Huang Xiaochuan was doing poorly just because Huang Xiaochuan dressed plainly. So what if he was good at studying? What good is being good at studying? I may not be as good as you in studying, but I drive luxury cars and eat steak.

Huang Xiaochuan wouldn't tolerate someone like that. He retorted without hesitation, "Bian Wo, it's been over a year and you're still the same old dog. Didn't your parents teach you to respect the elderly and care for the young? You think the world is yours just because you drive a beat-up car? I wouldn't even want your crap."

"A beat-up car? It's not that I look down on you, but if you could buy a car like this in your lifetime, you'd be incredibly lucky. But you can only dream about it."

Yu Wei was so angry that he wanted to kick Bian Wo's car, but Huang Xiaochuan stopped him: "Why are you arguing with an idiot? That will only lower your IQ to the same level as his. Let's go."

After saying that, he took out the car remote and unlocked the car, and the Lexus SUV's hazard lights came on.

Bian Wo wanted to continue mocking Huang Xiaochuan, but then he saw Huang Xiaochuan press something, and the lights of the black SUV around the corner came on. Then he saw Huang Xiaochuan and his childhood friend get into the car and drive away.

What's going on? Bian Wo's CPU is about to burn out, and his Mazda still needs a key to open the door. How come Huang Xiaochuan's car can be opened without a key? And that car looks more luxurious than his own, and it even has a Shanghai license plate. How can this poor guy afford a car?

After Huang Xiaochuan drove out of the grain bureau's residential compound, he found a roadside convenience store, borrowed a public phone, and dialed a number.

"Is this 110? I want to report a smuggled car."

"The license plate? It's a Mazda, supposedly driven back from an island, but it might be a fake plate."

"You're welcome, it's what I should do."

Yu Wei watched Huang Xiaochuan make the call with a mischievous grin and even gave him a thumbs up.

After hanging up the phone, Huang Xiaochuan asked, "Auntie, how much did the phone call cost?"

"Calling 110 is free. Good job, young man. You should dare to fight against bad people and bad deeds."

"Auntie, this is what I should do. After all, we are the successors of socialism."

Yu Wei held back his laughter, afraid of ruining the harmonious atmosphere.

On the way home, Yu Wei suddenly said, "Huang Xiaochuan, if you ever dare to cheat on my sister and let her down, I'll never forgive you."

Yu Wei then thought back to his time at the Jiang family's house.

Jiang's eldest sister-in-law is going to introduce Huang Xiaochuan to a girlfriend. She gave Huang Xiaochuan a heads-up, saying that the boy is too attractive to women. She was unhappy about him dating her older sister in the first place because of this.

After arriving home, Huang Xiaochuan took the initiative to tell Yu Xiang about Yu Wei helping her get vaccinated, which amused Yu Xiang. It was good that Yu Wei had changed his mind.

On the same day, Zhou Wei took He Guangyang, Junmin, He Wenfeng and others to the home of their comrade-in-arms Li Huan.

They were delivering New Year's goods to Li Huan's family.

Before leaving Shanghai, Huang Xiaochuan arranged for Yang Junmin and He Guang to drive a Ford to Suzhou to pick up Zhou Wei and He Wenfeng and return to Qingjiang together. After the New Year, they were to return to Shanghai on February 10.

When the four of them returned to their hometown, they discussed on the way that they would visit Li Huan together after returning home and bring some New Year's gifts to his family.

Of the five comrades, Li Huan is having the hardest time right now, so it's only right to help him out. We should also check on Li Huan's family situation and, if possible, get the small business owner's permission to take Li Huan with us after the New Year.

When the four arrived at Li Huan's house, Li Huan was busy mixing coal ash and making coal briquettes in the yard.

"Li Huan".

"Li Huan!"

Li Huan looked up and saw that several comrades had arrived. He quickly put down his tools and went to greet them with a smile.

"When did you guys get back?"

Zhou Wei smiled and said, "The four of us came back together yesterday, and we discussed on the way that we would come to your house today to see you. How is everything at home? How's your dad?"

"That's good. My dad is almost fully recovered and can even work in the fields now. Come on in and sit down, it's cold outside!" Li Huan led his comrades home.

Zhou Wei waved his hand: "Wait a minute, we still have some things to take."

After they finished speaking, the group unloaded a bunch of food and supplies from the car outside. They were all affordable items, including a large piece of lean and fatty pork belly that weighed about ten pounds, half a sheep, and a large string of sausages.

Several people also bought snacks, pastries, cigarettes, and alcohol from Shanghai and Suzhou.

"What are you doing?" Seeing his comrades carrying things home, Li Huan quickly stepped forward to stop them.

"Go away, this isn't for you, it's for your uncle and aunt."

He Wenfeng immediately pushed Li Huan aside, and the group forcibly carried the things they had brought into the house.

After exchanging greetings with Li Huan's parents, the five comrades sat down to drink tea, chat, and discuss matters.

"Li Huan, the main reason I came today is to ask you if you can leave home now. If possible, would you like to come to Shanghai with us after the New Year?"

Li Huan looked at Zhou Wei with suspicion: "Huhai? Aren't you guys at the factory of the brigade leader's uncle in Suzhou?"

He Guang, quick to speak, interjected, "It's true that the salary is paid by the Suzhou factory, but our work location is in Shanghai. The factory also arranges for us to learn to drive. Yang Junmin and I have both gotten our driver's licenses. If you go there, they will also arrange for you to learn to drive, and the factory will reimburse all the expenses."

Li Huan was stunned when he heard this: "Wow! That's great?"

"So what kind of work do you mainly do?"

He Guang was about to speak when Zhou Wei stopped him and glared at him. He Guang immediately realized what was happening and quickly shut his mouth.

"I can only tell you that the work is easy, but we can't tell you the specifics of what you do right now. You'll find out once you sign a confidentiality agreement at the factory. Don't worry, we definitely won't harm you."

Li Huan was a little unsure. What was going on? What kind of job required secrecy?

He Wenfeng had the best relationship with Li Huan. Seeing that Li Huan was hesitant to express his opinion, he said, "Think about it, would the brigade leader harm you? You'll see when you get to Suzhou. The benefits and treatment are amazing. Don't hesitate."

Upon hearing He Wenfeng mention Huang Dahai, Li Huan immediately made a decision: "Okay! I'll go with you after the New Year!"
