"This big bread shell is from Toyota? Purely imported?"
Comrade Lao Du looked at the big loaf of bread in front of him in disbelief.
"Haha, Old Du, you're underestimating me! This car was confiscated by our anti-smuggling team and later distributed to various units. You know what, even though it looks like a big van, it's actually quite good to use and quite comfortable to sit in!"
Geng Xinbo explained to Comrade Lao Du the origin of the car.
"Are these cars smuggled? What do you think these people are thinking? Why would they smuggle vans? Why not just get some luxury cars? Those cars are more profitable!"
Comrade Lao Du is very curious about what these smugglers are thinking?
"Who knows? Maybe it's because of the extra space? Anyway, when we seized these vehicles, they were filled with valuables like Walkmans and cameras. The cars might have just gone to waste."
Geng Xinbo, Lao Du and Lao Ding were chatting while loading luggage into the car.
"Get in the car. I'll take you to the guesthouse first, and then we'll have lunch together. And where do you want to go? I'll take you there then."
"We don't have any plans, so please give us some recommendations when the time comes!"
As they were talking, everyone got on the bus.
"Oh, Lao Geng, this car has quite a lot of space!"
"That's right, this car has twelve seats, otherwise it wouldn't be able to take you away, haha."
Lao Geng was very happy to see his comrades whom he hadn't seen for more than ten years.
Du Chen got on the bus and found a seat by the window. He took out his camera and prepared to record the scenery along the way. It would be very interesting to look at these photos when he recalled them in the future.
"Sister Miaomiao, it's so hot here!"
Gu Yue was also chatting with Ding Miaomiao.
"Lao Du, how is the repair shop now?"
Lao Geng asked Lao Du while driving. They had been in constant contact over the past few years. After all, Guangzhou was one of the first cities to implement reform and opening up, so new and imported items could usually be found through Guangzhou. Lao Du's repair shop also occasionally did some modification work, so Lao Geng couldn't lose contact.
"Thanks to you, the repair shop is doing pretty well now. Otherwise, who would have the money to travel? How about you, Lao Geng?"
"I'm still working in customs, fighting smuggling. It's not much different from before. I can't compare to you bosses."
Comrades Lao Geng and Lao Du were joking.
"Old Du, how many days will you be here this time? Is there anything else?"
"About a week. My eldest son just finished his high school entrance exam, so I wanted to bring him out to see the world and learn some new ways to make money."
"That's right. It's better for the children to go out more often. When I have time in the future, I will bring my wife and children to visit you!"
"By the way, where are your wife and children? Let's find some time to go out for dinner together!"
Comrade Lao Du asked the other party.
"It's summer vacation now. I sent my child back to my hometown a few days ago. My wife and I are busy at work and don't have time to take care of the child during the holidays, so I sent him back to my hometown to be with my parents during the holidays."
"I guess my wife will be back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. We can have dinner together then."
"Okay, let's have a meal together then."
"Lao Geng, have you been in touch with our comrades often? Are there any nearby? Let's go out for a drink together..."
"Du Bin, look at how tall this building is! It's just like something out of a Hong Kong movie, so bustling!"
Ding Miaomiao, who has always been steady, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when looking at the streets of Guangzhou. The prosperous scene that she had only seen on TV actually appeared before her eyes, which brought a great shock to Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao.
"Du Bin, Miao Miao, if you like it here, study hard. You can go to university here in the future. Maybe you can even stay here!"
Comrade Lao Du was happily chatting with Lao Geng, and Du Chen's mother and Jia Xiaomin were also chatting happily. Lao Ding couldn't get a word in for a while. Listening to his daughters' sighs, Lao Ding took the opportunity to educate Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao.
"Dad, you're so annoying. We're traveling now, can we not talk about this?"
As a result, Ding Miaomiao's words hit Old Ding hard. Isn't it said that a daughter is one's little cotton-padded jacket? Why is his little cotton-padded jacket leaking?
"We've arrived at the guesthouse, everyone get off the bus!"
After more than half an hour, the car finally stopped. Lao Geng asked everyone to get off the car. Outside the car was the customs guesthouse.
The unit was wealthy, so the guesthouse at the customs was built quite nicely. Lao Geng took advantage of his position to book two large suites for the two families, which were fully equipped with televisions, air conditioners, and bathrooms.
"Lao Geng, how much does it cost to stay here for one night?"
Comrade Lao Du was amazed at the decoration of the two suites and pulled Lao Geng aside to ask him quietly.
"It's okay, Lao Du. I'm a leader after all, and this place isn't usually occupied. Just stay here and relax, don't worry!"
Old Geng waved his hands and didn't take it seriously at all.
"Alright, alright, Lao Du, it's okay, just stay here and relax. You've been in the car for two days, so you should change your clothes and have a good rest. I'll come over at noon."
"Hey, then I'll follow you and enjoy the treatment of a leader, but there's no need to rest. If you're busy, just go do your work and we'll go out for a walk."
"No need, I've already taken some time off. I'll just have some fun with you guys these few days. You don't speak Cantonese, so I'm afraid you'll get ripped off!"
Lao Geng also told Comrade Lao Du truthfully that in Guangzhou and Nanyue, not being able to speak Cantonese would not necessarily mean you have trouble getting around, but there would always be some people who would bully outsiders, and this principle applies across the country.
"Well then, I'll leave it to you, the local tyrant!"
Comrade Lao Du also laughed and teased Lao Geng. Although they hadn't seen each other for more than ten years, they hadn't had the money to keep in touch in the past two years, so they were familiar with each other's words and deeds.
"Okay, leave it all to me. Go change first. I'll wait for you downstairs."
After saying that, Lao Geng went downstairs to wait.
"Wife, Lao Ding, hurry up and clean up. We're going out for a walk later. Lao Geng is waiting for us downstairs!"
Half an hour later, everyone had taken care of themselves and came downstairs. Lao Geng was standing in the yard smoking a cigarette. When he saw everyone coming out, he waved and greeted Comrade Lao Du and his group.
"Let's go. Let's take a ride and look around. Is there anywhere you want to go after lunch?"
"Lao Geng, you make the arrangements! I won't have to worry about anything with you as the local boss. We can go wherever you think is fun!"
"Okay, I'll make the arrangements. Everyone get in the car and let's go!"
Lao Geng also said to everyone with a smile.
