It was a small episode, and Cao An felt a little embarrassed. Later he realized that Xia Youyou probably didn't mean that.
Pretending to be calm, I continued chatting with my friends.
Na Ru brought the dishes to the table. Qi Siling and Xiao Hai hurriedly got up and went to the kitchen to serve the dishes.
Cao An brought some wine and toasted with everyone, chatting about future social development and the machines in the factory.
Men, after all, have a natural attraction to machines. Li Dabao and his three companions had previously visited the factory's machines, and they were still unfamiliar with some of the newer ones.
Especially now that Qi Siling has set up an electronics factory in Pengcheng, his interest has become even stronger.
In this day and age, having a semiconductor radio is considered the best you can have. Now we have mobile phones, and there will be even more electronic products in the future. How can we not be excited!
The party lasted until late at night, and Cao An was half drunk, but the others were already drunk.
Qi Siling and Xiao Hai only gave a token nod, remembering, under Xia Youyou's warning, not to drink and drive. He and Xiao Hai would be responsible for driving someone home later, so they didn't dare drink too much.
Ten people, at least they could fit into two cars.
Fortunately, there was a more sober Li Dabao who planned the route and sent everyone back home safely along the way.
Touching the dashboard inside the car, Li Dabao asked Qi Siling, "How much does your factory sell this car for?"
"It's more expensive than the 212, mainly because our engine has been modified, so it won't freeze in the winter and we don't have to crank the car."
Li Dabao understood.
The 212 is a model of Beijing Jeep, and the cheapest one costs 30,000 yuan. And the price varies, and 30,000 yuan does not include the purchase tax. For ordinary people, it is a sky-high price!
As for the cranking handle Qi Siling mentioned, it refers to modern cars, which all use carburetors. This cranking action moves the crankshaft in the crankcase, distributing oil and making it easier to ignite. However, easy ignition doesn't guarantee a successful start; he'd heard of many people being struck by the cranking handle.
(The crank here refers to the old-fashioned tractor, which requires an iron rod to crank the engine to start the vehicle.)
"You mean, this car can start directly without cranking?"
"Yes," Qi Siling explained. "Our engine has been improved and replaced with a diesel engine. It starts with just a twist of the key." He pointed to where the key was inserted. "Right here."
Li Dabao shook his head in admiration, saying this is much more advanced than 212!
"Do you want to try it?" Qi Siling looked at him with a faint smile.
"No need." Li Dabao felt a little dizzy and not in a good position to drive. "When are you going back to Beijing?"
"It should take a few days."
"Then I will come to see your brother the day after tomorrow and ask him to take me out for a run." Li Dabao said.
"Okay!" Qi Siling agreed readily, braking the car to a stop on the side of the road. "Is this the place?"
Li Dabao finally came back to his senses and looked outside the car, only to find that he had arrived home.
"Yes, thanks, brother."
"We're brothers, why be polite?" Qi Siling watched him get out of the car with the headlights on. He didn't follow Xiao Hai back until he went upstairs and made sure he was inside the house.
Cao An forced himself to wash up, checked his son's diaper, and then fell drunkenly on the bed.
Xia Youyou was sleeping in a daze and was woken up by a kiss that smelled of alcohol.
Qi Siling was like a mad lion, abandoning his territory and hooking up with Xia Youyou to cling to her until death.
