Chapter 149 Jinzhuang

As soon as I came out, I saw Wu Bo looking around the car, clicking his tongue twice as he looked at it: "Is this a steam car?"

Lin Ying raised an eyebrow: "As expected of Director Wu, you know so much."

Wu Bo curled his lip: "Who do you think you are? I've ridden a train before!"

Lin Ying couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Shall we leave now?"

Wu Bo said, "Let's go, but um, can anyone else fit in your car?"

Lin Ying replied with Wu Bo's words: "Who do you think you are?"

Wu Bo laughed: "Okay, I'll hitch a ride with you today."

Lin Ying said, "Then we'll have to wait a bit; I need to get some water."

"You add it, you add it, I'll do it quietly."

Lin Ying carried the bucket down and added water to the car. Seeing that the heater also needed water, she decided to add water there as well.

Then they brought back more than half a bucket of water.

After the car started emitting steam again, Lin Ying opened the car door.

She removed the original partition and laid it horizontally on top, turning it into a seat.

Of course, it can also be used as a small dining table. It depends on the specific usage.

Seeing that both children were asleep, Wu Bo didn't speak loudly. Instead, he got into the car and sat in the back, looking around at the little car.

The car only has one door, which is indeed a bit inconvenient, but having too many doors would make it easy for drafts to escape. Lin Ying decided to leave it like this for now and make changes when necessary.

After watching Wu Bo settle in, Lin Ying sat in the driver's seat, added more coal to the stove, and wiped the fog off the vehicle before starting the engine.

Although Wu Bo had mentally prepared himself, he still found it unbelievable when the car actually started moving.

"It moved! It really moved."

Lin Ying could see Wu Bo's expression in the rearview mirror. She found it somewhat amusing that someone so old still acted so easily.

"Director Wu, you have to give me directions."

Wu Bo then realized, "Oh, right. Turn left after you go out, we're going to Jinshan Brigade, which is also Jinzhuang."

"I know the approximate location, but you can tell me the specifics when the time comes."

"Okay, you can go now. You can ask me again if you're unsure about anything later."

The car had only been gone a few minutes when Wu Bo was already sweating profusely. He had been so worried about the car's sturdiness and whether Lin Ying would drive it into a ditch that he hadn't even had time to process what was happening.

Now that he's relaxed, he realizes it's a bit hot inside the car.

"I didn't expect this little car to be so useful; it's actually so warm inside."

Lin Ying explained, "Of course it's warm. I added a heating system inside. The stove in front doesn't just burn steam, it also heats the room."

Wu Bo suddenly realized, "I knew it. No, I can't wear this coat anymore."

As he spoke, Wu Bo took off his coat, hat, and gloves.

Even so, he didn't feel cold. You can imagine how warm the small room was.

As the car approached the intersection, under Wu Bo's direction, Lin Ying's car slowly drove to the back mountain of Jinzhuang.

From afar, Lin Ying saw a group of people gathered around, studying something. She stopped the car, and Wu Bo, already dressed, got out.

Lin Ying put on her coat and, after making sure the child was sleeping well, added coal to the truck. She didn't add any steam. Lin Ying realized something: she should install a valve on the stove so that when she was only in the truck, the stove wouldn't need to burn so brightly.

Lin Ying made a note of this and planned to study it when she got back.

Now, after glancing at the two children to make sure they were sleeping soundly, she didn't disturb them and got out of the car herself.

Following Wu Bo, the brigade leader of Jinzhuang saw Wu Bo arrive and hurried over.

"Director Wu, have you found a solution?"

Wu Bo said with a smile, "This is Comrade Lin Ying. She wrote the plan for this brick kiln. I've called her here now so she can take a look and see where we've gone wrong."

The captain of Jinzhuang Brigade frowned and said, "Why is it a girl? Will it work out?"

Wu Bo was worried that if this rough-around-the-edges guy said something that showed favoritism towards men or looked down on women, Lin Ying would get angry and leave, leaving them dumbfounded.

"What are you talking about? Do you really think he's as uneducated as you? He's a college student! He knows way more than you, you bumpkin."

The captain of Jinzhuang Brigade realized something and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes."

As for what it was about, he didn't know.
