Chapter Thirty-One Car

  "Weizi, look at this place, the houses are all renovated and ready to move in. I don't know when you'll be moving over here to live. Look, this is my room, that's your room, and these ones, at most three little friends will share one room together. How about it?"

  Xia Xue led the little friends to start visiting these houses, and even every room inside had quilts and everything ready, it seemed that the leader had put in a lot of effort for Xia Xue.

  This house was obviously renovated just yesterday. Yang Wei remembered that when he came the day before yesterday, these houses were only swept out.

  "Xia Xue, where are you putting all these clothes?" At this time, some soldiers brought over the clothes that had been taken out of the warehouse earlier.

  "Ah, just put it in the warehouse over there, thank you, uncle." "Ha, no need to thank me, no need to thank me." Xia Xue's words made these soldiers feel a little surprised and honored. When did this little devil ever thank anyone? It's clear that having playmates is different, the leader is wise, these soldiers thought in their hearts.

  " Wei Zi, the clothes have arrived. What time are you free? You won't let us wear these clothes directly, will you?" "Of course not, but we need to do things step by step. Let's go take a look at the car first... or rather, that pile of trash."

  "What's so good about that pile of scrap metal, those cars can't even be driven, I think you've wasted your money. And Wei Zi, where did you guys get so much money from?" Suddenly, Xia Xue remembered the money Yang Wei used to buy those scraps.

  "Xiaxue sister, have you forgotten? Didn't I tell you that we've gone hunting before and even sold the game? We still have a tiger skin at home."

  Yingzi started showing off her skills one by one.

  "Huapi, Wei Zi, let's discuss this, can you give me that tiger skin? If not, I'll pay for it." This Xia Xue actually had such a side to her, it seems she was eager to get that tiger skin.

  "Xia Xue, you said you wanted to come for the tiger skin. What's the reason that makes you so embarrassed to ask for something?" Yang Wei suddenly became interested in why Xia Xue wanted the tiger skin so badly. However, Yang Wei didn't think of the tiger skin as anything precious either. In this era, it wasn't forbidden to hunt tigers yet, and if he wanted one, he could simply go to the mountains to hunt for it.

  If Yang Wei's idea were to be known by some old hunters in the mountains, they would scold him severely. This tiger is so easy to hunt, but these young fellows have this skill - it's just a single tiger, as long as they can see it, it won't be able to escape.

  "I, I want to give it to Commander Zhang, Commander Zhang was wounded many times in those years of war, this leg often hurts, I secretly heard them say that if there is a tiger skin, maybe it will alleviate his pain."

  "Haha, I didn't expect that our little Xue would be so filial. I've decided, the tiger skin is yours, next time you come, I'll bring it for you."

  "Wēi zi, are you serious? Then thank you, thank you!"

  "Hehe, what's to thank? We're all just buddies after all."

  "Yes, yes, we are buddies." At this time, Xia Xue was so grateful that she didn't know what to do. It could be clearly seen that Xia Xue wasn't a very bad kid, it's just that in this big courtyard, she had no playmates, her uncle often scolded her, and the leader doted on her too much, while others didn't dare to say anything about her, which resulted in her having such a bad reputation. However, it could be said that she was just trying to get other people's attention.

  "Alright, buddies, let's go take a look at that pile of scrap metal." Yang Wei led his little friends to see the broken cars with an excited mood. "Buddies, everyone get moving, let me see if you still remember the knowledge I usually teach you."

  "Weizi, this is the car you were talking about, let's take a look." In addition to training with his little friends, Yang Wei had plenty of time on his hands, so he took out those few tattered books and began explaining the diagrams that could be understood by his little friends. Those diagrams naturally included mechanical things like cars, machine tools, and some knowledge about mechanical drawing.

  And the little friends' desire for knowledge is also particularly big, so with just a few books, they basically recognized all the patterns on them, and two years ago those patterns happened to match this car in front of us, perhaps it was drawn according to this kind of car.

  "Everyone, search through this pile of scrap iron and see if there are any tools. And you few people, push these two cars out and remove the hoods, dismantle whatever can be dismantled to see where they're broken."

  For a moment, all the little buddies took action. "Look, Wei Gege, I found two wrenches, yeah, this is 17's, and that one is 22's." ... From time to time, someone would report what they had found.

  "Weizi, look at this." Hu Si ran over with an air pump in his hand. He just thought the air pump was fun to play with, but there were no pictures of it in the books he had read in Shanghai, so naturally he wouldn't recognize it.

  "Ah, this is a tire pump, it's for inflating tires, put it aside, we can use it. One by one, the tools and good stuff were picked out from the scrap iron pile by the little buddies."

  Those two cars over there were also dismantled by the young men, "Wei Zi, look at this carburetor, isn't it clogged just like you said? And this place..."

  Actually, this car didn't have any major problems. You know, it was directly captured from the enemy's hands. Yang Wei also knew about the history of this military camp. At that time, the National Army came to accept the surrender, and then the war broke out again. However, at that time, the National Army didn't think much of these small enemy vehicles and equipment. They were equipped with American-style weapons and vehicles instead. As a result, these things were left here. Then our troops arrived, and naturally, someone wanted to start up these vehicles. But there would always be some minor problems, so a few people who thought they were experts took it apart, piece by piece, until it became scrap metal.

  "Xia Xue, come," "Wei Zi has something to do." When Yang Wei called Xia Xue, Xia Xue suddenly became spirited. Originally, she was watching her little friends disassembling the car and they all knew what each part was, so she naturally felt a bit inferior. These little friends understood so many things, but now that Yang Wei had called her, it proved that she was also useful, so she naturally became happy.

  "I don't know if we have gasoline here." "We do, I'll go ask Uncle to get some right away." With that, Xia Xue ran off.
