Two days later, Gu Biao followed his father back to Qiantang with Director Chen and Director Qin, and went straight to the factory to handle the handover of the business first.

Gu Biao himself doesn't have many things, it's nothing more than an upload and release. It belongs to the kind of consulting position that has problems to solve, but there are no problems and cannot be separated.

After a day, when he was about to get off work, Gu Biao and his father went back to the parking shed downstairs of the factory office to pick up their bicycles, only to notice that a GAZ-23 Volga second-generation Soviet sedan was parked in the open space next to it.

Director Chen only uses the Hujiang brand, and Director Qin doesn't have a special car, but there is a factory-run car that he often uses. So this car is just too eye-catching.

"Dad, is this the car you bought first with an advance payment of 4,000 rubles last time?"

It has been more than a month since the deposit for that set of orders in Romania came down. Mass-selling goods such as imported cars must be in stock, and it is not surprising that the goods have arrived.

It is not a high-end equipment that needs to be made to order.

"Yes, but we are not qualified to be a driver, I didn't expect the customs to be so fast, and I have to take the driver's license slowly." ”

Daddy said helplessly and proudly.

After all, he is almost fifty years old, and he will definitely be slower to learn new things.

Gu Biao casually asked about the specific learning progress.

Dad proudly said: The drive is not stable, but the car repair only studied for one morning, and the repair is better than the coach.

Gu Biao was embarrassed for a while: This is completely the opposite of him.

Gu Biao is very easy to drive, and he can't learn how to repair a car.

After thinking about it, my father was born as an eighth-level fitter, and he has dealt with machinery all his life, and it is not easy to kill the car repair class in seconds.

Dad's original words are like this: "The coach told me the principle, so I took advantage of the work after work, borrowed the empty equipment in the factory, dismantled the carburetor and re-polished it." The Soviets' original parts are really rubbish! No wonder the engine is panting when it starts! It's still shaking! Now this car is even smoother than the original parts!"

It seems that my dad has itchy hands for a while, so he has changed the carburetor and transmission of the car in several places.

Gu Biao asked his father to borrow the key and tried to start it, and sure enough, even the noise after the special start was much lighter than that of other Soviet cars.

"Dad, then get on the bus, it's okay to lose the bike in the unit." He was itchy for a moment and beckoned his father to get into the car.

"Don't mess around, you kid! What about 14,000 rubles!" Daddy hurriedly stopped.

Gu Biao took out two clicks from his briefcase and took out a small notebook: "Don't worry, I studied in the capital and took the exam after class." ”

Dad was surprised and delighted, and after taking it, he looked back and forth carefully, and finally confirmed that it was true.

"Hey, I didn't expect it, you kid changed to liberal arts, and his hands-on ability is still there, so he didn't embarrass Lao Tzu. Although Daddy had a hard mouth, he still got into the car in the format of a real fragrance.

Gu Biao started the car smoothly and slowly drove towards the factory gate, and the short road from the factory office to the gate was only three or four hundred meters, which made almost every worker look back.

They had never heard this kind of low-key and luxurious engine sound, and it was impossible not to be curious - even if there were dozens of such GAZ-23 Volga in the city, the others could not be this kind of magic modified sound, but much noisier.

Dad was so proud that he couldn't help but roll down the window and wave goodbye to the workers he knew from time to time.

Usually he does the same thing, but he rides his bicycle to say goodbye. Now that I have changed positions, I have a bit of the momentum of "comrades have worked hard".

While feeling happy in his heart, Dad couldn't help but show his old qualifications and asked about Gu Biao's experience when he was learning to drive.

When I heard that Gu Biao was only excellent in driving, but his car repair skills were warned by the coach to "practice hard by myself after I go back", my father's sense of superiority exploded again:

"Hmph, the kid is really not as good as Lao Tzu. In terms of the craft of car repair, Lao Tzu is better than you learn for a year when you learn for half a day!"

Of course, Gu Biao just laughed at this.

Do you have a specialization in the art industry?

has such a wicked son, if he doesn't let his father find some sense of accomplishment from elsewhere, maybe he will have psychological problems.

……

Since living in a four-story small western-style building on Zhongshan Road, the Gu family's neighbors have improved a lot.

At least they are also deputy section-level civil servants of government units, or cadres of state-owned enterprises and backbones of public institutions at the same level.

Those stock-level minions can't get in under normal circumstances.

You Minfu of the Zhongshan Street Police Station is the abnormal exception - as the director of the police station, he lives in these small western-style buildings, which is a little unqualified.

However, who let his jurisdiction be in this area, so when the house was allocated above, in order to better ensure the security of this residential area, he was exceptionally zoned.

You Minfu is also very good, since they moved in last year, they have four police officers, who patrol the streets near these buildings every day in two shifts.

There hasn't been a single petty theft here for more than a year, and the nearby residents have praised him for his hard work and crime buster.

It was getting late this day, and Director You was having dinner with his wife, because it was rare to open meat, and there was a plate of shredded green pepper and pork on the table, so he comfortably ate a little bit of rice.

Then I heard the sound of a car downstairs that I had never heard before.

"This voice sounds so comfortable, is it a Toyota Crown? Director You ruled it out in his heart, and suddenly became curious. Ordinary people can't distinguish the sound of a car engine, but he is a criminal investigator, and he is used to his profession, and his ears are particularly pointed.

He has seen the world, and he still knows the Toyota Crown - after the normalization of diplomatic relations between China and Japan in 72, the country began to discuss the import of some cheap cars. Within two years, 200 Toyota Crowns were allocated across the country, and only the mayors of at least provincial towns were eligible to be matched.

In '77, the size of the crown in the country has further expanded to 600 vehicles, and now with the opening of the country, there are about 2,000 vehicles - but for a country with a population of 1 billion, 2,000 cars are nothing at all, and the average population of half a million can only see one.

It was only during the Chinese New Year that Director You saw the crown car driven by the mayor and the secretary when the sub-bureau selected people to close the road for Prince Sihanouk's outing.

Just for this look, he bragged to others for a long time after he came back.

So he immediately dropped his chopsticks, peeked into the window, and barely saw the car in the dark.

"It turned out to be the second generation of Volga, which is not bad...... But what's wrong with the voice of the second generation of Volga? Aren't all Soviet goods coarse, and this car is a bit of a taste between the Soviets and himself. ”

With the idea of looking at the diorama, he pushed the door down the hallway.

As soon as he went up the corridor, he found that he was not alone.

Director Wu Changming at the opposite door, Dr. Zheng Shulin from the north-facing set upstairs, and their families were all crowded at the staircase to watch the excitement.

Director You has household registration information in his hand, so he naturally knows the details of everyone.

He knew that Wu Changming was the one in this residential area who was originally recognized as having the best conditions - because he was the director of the power dispatching department of the Municipal Power Supply Bureau, and he had the power to decide who could start work and who had to stop work to make power available in the city's major heavy industry state-owned enterprises.

Therefore, even the leaders of the fattest state-owned enterprises in the city will send things to Director Wu during the New Year's holidays, so that he can raise his noble hand and ensure production next year. Not to mention that the power bureau itself sells electricity very profitably, and the welfare is full of oil.

As for Zheng Shulin upstairs, although the money is a little worse, the breadth of the people is not inferior at all. He is the director of the department of the Affiliated Hospital of the Provincial Medical University, and he is a well-known expert in hepatobiliary surgery.

I don't know how many cadres I have saved from alcohol tests, and after he recovers, people often come back to him to ask for advice on health and liver protection, so he knows a lot of provincial and municipal cadres.

At this moment, finding that the second generation of Volga was not Wu Changming's, You Minfu suddenly asked curiously: "Yo, I thought it was the shotgun in your unit, Director Wu." If it's not you, who else can afford this car?"

Wu Changming was a little unhappy, and secretly wondered if this was not a pot that could not be opened.

"How do I know, I just heard the movement and came out to see! Director You, this is your own scope!" Wu Changming originally wanted to see the excitement, but he couldn't find the bottom of the steps after being erected on it, so he turned around and closed the door, and continued to hide behind the window to observe secretly.

However, his wife had no psychological barriers, and continued to watch with You Minfu and Zheng Shulin's families.

Soon, they found out the truth.

"It turned out to be Master Gu's family of the oxygen generator factory, is their factory so profitable? A technical section chief is equipped with Volga Gazi? Then Director Chen and Director Qin must be worthy of this crown. ”

Everyone secretly gasped.

The Gu family has not been in for half a year since they moved in, and the neighbors are not very familiar with it, only knowing that they were very well arranged when they first came in, and even the washing machine was the first to be equipped, but in other aspects except for the TV, it is not as good as Director Wu's family.

Nowadays, no one thinks that the washing machine is a necessary luxury, so if the Wu family doesn't buy it, no one thinks that Director Wu has no money, but he just thinks that Director Wu is unwilling to spend money in vain-

Anyway, as the director of the hall, even if he didn't have a washing machine, Wu Changming wouldn't wash his clothes himself, what did his wife do at home? Why spend a thousand yuan for a machine that he never used and would only save his wife trouble?

Even Wu Changming's wife herself felt that "my husband was too considerate and bought me a TV so that I could watch TV while doing laundry."

As for Gu Biao, a person who spends more than 1,000 yuan in order to save time and protect his sister's hands, it is unreasonable in the eyes of big men in this era, and he belongs to the crooked male cancer who spoils women too much.

But with the appearance of this car today, everyone has a rod scale in their hearts, and everyone knows that Director Wu's family is completely incomparable with Master Gu.

The day before yesterday, Lao Chen's secretary also mentioned Moutai to me, saying that their factory would have to work overtime every Monday holiday in the second half of the year, and asked Lao Tzu not to limit their electricity. It turns out that Old Chen is so fat that he has to match all the section chiefs under him with Volga!"

Wu Changming, who was hiding at home and secretly observing, was angry that he couldn't fight the autumn wind.

When I thought of being the dispatching director of the provincial power supply bureau, others only took a box of Moutai wine worth 100 yuan (6 bottles a box) and wanted to entrust him to do something - what about the one who asked for food?
