Chapter 337 Xiaobiga
Reading Settings
After Bai Nuo, Fang Meng, An Yun, and Liu Yanan completed their transfer procedures at the bureau, they discussed returning to Beijing.
They originally planned to book train tickets for two days later, but Bai Nuo was reluctant to part with the things she had personally customized in her courtyard, so in the end they decided to drive back to Beijing.
Fang Meng had already arranged for someone to get Bai Nuo a driver's license, so she was no longer an unlicensed lawbreaker and could drive openly even when she returned to Beijing.
Fang Meng and An Yun were both licensed drivers, and even Liu Yanan had learned to drive recently, practicing in Bai Nuo's large Jiefang truck. So, the truck had been parked in the county public security bureau's compound for some time, and An Yun easily obtained her driver's license by going through the procedures with the county government.
Although Bai Nuo won these two Jiefang trucks in a lottery in Kaiyuan City, as the saying goes, it's easier to get things done if you have connections in the government. During the time Fang Meng returned to Beijing, he had already completed all the formalities for these two Jiefang trucks and directly registered them under the name of their unit, which can be considered as giving these Jiefang trucks a legitimate path.
In Bai Nuo's garage, there is also a "Shanghai 760" that is suitable for this era. It is a treasure that she collected in a car show museum in her previous life. She even had the little system spend points to refurbish it a while ago. She is just waiting to find an opportunity to take it out.
After all, now that we're back in Beijing, we can't keep driving around in a big Jiefang truck all the time.
In this day and age, a bicycle is a luxury item for ordinary families. But in big cities like Beijing and Shanghai, families with power and influence can pull strings and find a reliable company to work for, so it's not impossible to own a car. It's just that such families are rare these days.
However, it's not unusual for a family like the Bai or Wei, which have been passed down through generations, to own one or two cars.
She remembered that a black Hongqi car was often parked in the backyard of the Bai family's old house. It was a car that had been specially approved by the authorities for her maternal grandparents. Although it was affiliated with the research institute where her maternal grandfather worked, the car was indeed bought by her maternal grandmother with money from the authorities.
Thinking about it this way, the day her precious 760 is exposed to the public should be just around the corner.
"What are you thinking about?" Fang Meng asked, helping Bai Nuo pack her things while curiously watching the little girl who was deep in thought and looking expectant. What wonderful thing had she thought of this time?
Fang Meng and Bai Nuo had almost finished packing their belongings at the Qishui Brigade and were just waiting to drive back to move. So after leaving the bureau, they went straight to An Yun's dormitory to help the young master pack his luggage.
Bai Nuo put down the folded clothes, sat on the edge of the bed, and sighed softly: "My great-uncle said that nothing in the house has changed. My grandparents were just suspended from their jobs and were not allowed to go out. So no one dared to rummage through the house. Those people have been trying to mess around for so long, but in the end, not even a single piece of paint has fallen off the walls."
So my great-uncle told me that after I went back, I could go back to the old house if I wanted, or go back to the compound if I thought it was too big. However, the compound is too far from Peking University, so if I wanted to travel back and forth, I'd better drive. But I don't like my grandfather's black Hongqi car; it feels like sitting in it makes me feel like I'm about to retire.
Fang Meng looked at the little girl with a conflicted yet slightly disgusted expression, amused.
In this day and age, it's probably only a girl like Xiaoyatou, who comes from a privileged background and is pampered by her family, who would so genuinely complain about her family's car.
Although the situation was chaotic in this era, and even those in power were divided into factions and acted independently, there were some things that could not be shaken in any era.
Just like the changing of dynasties in ancient times, no matter who sits on that chair or how they sit, those aristocratic families with thousands of years of history can still stabilize themselves amidst various undercurrents and continue to enjoy their lives.
However, compared to ancient times, the major families of this era are much more low-key. What they should hide has long been concealed, and as for what is rightfully theirs, there is no need for them to be too restrained.
After all, sometimes, hiding too much can make you seem weak, which can lead to being bullied by those who don't know what's good for you.
Just like the Bai family now, the country needs Bai Nuo's maternal grandparents and uncle to conduct research to develop national strength, and Bai Yukai, the eldest son of the Bai family, has joined the military to serve the country.
So, the only remaining young girl, Bai Nuo, suddenly returned to the capital to study. Therefore, no matter how high-profile she acts afterward, as long as she doesn't provoke the country too much, the higher-ups will turn a blind eye, and some people will even go out to protect her.
This is probably why Yu Guosheng asked her to return to Beijing now, since it is indeed a good time.
Therefore, it's not difficult to get another car for the little girl.
Fang Meng had already figured out the mystery behind this, otherwise he wouldn't have let her go back so readily this time. He nodded and coaxed her with a smile, "If you don't like it, you don't have to drive it. It's not like you only have one car. I remember you have a 760 in your garage. Didn't you drive it out and have that little rascal renovate it a while ago?"
"Shanghai Customs often has the same model of car impounded. I'll get the paperwork from my dad, and we'll get the license plates all sorted out for you, so you can get the car out and use it when the time comes. It's a pity I don't have any suitable cars in my warehouse, otherwise I could have given you more to choose from. Or we could go to Shanghai Customs in a while and see if there are any models you like. If you don't have enough money, I'll ask Fang Guoqiang for some."
Bai Nuo looked at Fang Meng with amusement, raised an eyebrow, and teased, "Does Uncle Fang know that you call the regimental commander 'Dad'?"
