In 1992, a small village owner became the richest man in the village by owning a car.

Chapter 163 Yu Dawei and Yao Jinfu become night watchmen
Once we had the intelligence, things became much easier to resolve.

Yu Dawei first discussed the matter with Master Lü and the others to see what countermeasures they could take.

"These bastards, Four-Eyes and Old Xu are definitely the kind of people who would do something like this." Wang Xiaomeng slammed the rag in his hand onto the tank and snorted coldly.

"Sigh, it seems that whether it's leaders or ordinary people, their methods behind people's backs are pretty much the same." Master Lü looked down on them, thinking that the leaders who usually managed hundreds of people were some kind of powerful figures.

Completely unaware that his own remarks had inadvertently implicated him.

On the other side, He Huihui felt that her task was completed, so she looked up at the white excavator with curiosity.

Whether it's a mine or such a large excavator, new things allow her to temporarily forget the pain in her heart.

There's a current trend of going abroad, so if she does well overseas, why would she come back after finishing her studies?

She was aimlessly observing the excavator when she walked around to its rear and saw Huang Man squatting on the ground, idly waving a tree branch around.

"Why didn't you go over there? You've already finished talking to that German guy." He Huihui asked Huang Man curiously.

"Brother Dawei didn't let me pass." Huang Man turned his head and looked at the girl squatting next to him, answering calmly.

This girl has small eyes, sparse eyebrows, and a fair, oval face. Although she has a cheerful personality, Huang Man is still indifferent to her.

There's nothing special about it; it's just that there's a girl I really like living in my heart.

At this moment, He Huihui became somewhat interested in the guy in front of her. On the way here, she had heard Huang's mother subtly trying to match them up, so she naturally understood what the other party meant.

It's just that Huang's mother doesn't know her story abroad. If she did, she probably wouldn't be as enthusiastic as she is now.

“We met when we were little, do you remember?” He Huihui took out a box of Marlboro cigarettes from her crossbody bag, pulled one out and put it in her mouth, ready to light it. “You probably don’t remember, but we went to kindergarten together, sat at the same table, and the classmates didn’t call you Huang Man, they called you Silly Man.”

"You are... Little Pig???" Huang Man looked up at He Huihui blankly, then reached out and snatched her cigarette, stubbing it out. "Brother Dawei said that you can't smoke while repairing cars."

He Huihui rolled her eyes, utterly speechless. It was one thing to be called by that annoying name, but she wasn't even allowed to smoke.

She waited until Mrs. Huang fell asleep before sneaking here to smoke a cigarette: "First of all, you guys are the ones who fix cars, I don't fix cars. Secondly, please stop calling me Little Pig. Look at me now, how do I look like a little pig?"

He Huihui stood up somewhat defiantly and spun around in front of Huang Man. Although the girl's features were quite ordinary, her curvaceous figure was accentuated by the dress.

But it was all for naught. Huang Man glanced at the other person indifferently and asked a question that was more serious than his appearance: "You can't smoke whether you're repairing the car or not. Brother Dawei said that when the excavator is being repaired, there are oil droplets everywhere and gasoline evaporating nearby. What if your clothes catch fire? People will die."

He Huihui stood there stunned for a moment, then squatted down next to Huang Man and asked with a grin, "Silly Man, are you worried about me?"

"I guess so." Huang Man scratched his head. "When we were little, didn't you stand up for me? You beat two boys until they cried. I still remember that. After all, very few people have stood up for me in my life."

He Huihui stared blankly at the young man. So many years had passed, and although she and everyone around her had changed, it seemed that only he hadn't changed.

"Since you won't let me smoke, can you chat with me for a while?" He Huihui turned her head to look at the distant mine. Next to the emerald green mountain, large areas of excavated soil were visible, and various machines were like ruthless daggers, reaping the life of the mountain.

"Go ahead and say it." Huang Man broke the cigarette in his hand into pieces and threw them away.

“Life abroad is very open. I had a foreign boyfriend when I went abroad to study, and later I dated two or three more.” He Huihui turned to look at Huang Man and smiled. “Isn’t this unimaginable in China? A woman being so unrestrained before marriage.”

Huang Man frowned, not quite understanding what the other person was trying to say, while He Huihui seemed to enjoy the fact that the other person didn't understand anything.

“One day I was drinking with my new boyfriend at a bar when his friends and their girlfriends came over. We were all drinking and chatting, and eventually we all went into a room…” Her eyes were hazy and complicated. “At that moment, I realized that my thinking was completely different from that of people from other countries.”

Huang Man frowned more and more as he listened: "And then?"

"Later I left, intending to return to single life, but it seemed too late. One day I was tricked by them and went outside, and then..." When He Huihui said this, she hugged her calves with both hands, her whole body trembling slightly, her small fists clenched tightly, and her eyes were fixed on the pebbles on the ground.

"Then I went back to China." He Huihui forced herself to compose herself, turned to Huang Man and grinned, "I just wanted to tell you that there's nothing interesting about being abroad."

She reached out and patted Huang Man's chubby shoulder: "We, the fine young people of our generation, should serve our country!"

After listening to the other person's jumbled mess of words, Huang Man was filled with questions.

Although he is not good at thinking, he has a good ability to sense emotions. Just now, he could clearly see that the little pig seemed very unhappy.

He suddenly remembered a long piece of advice that Dawei had given him after drinking. He'd always remembered it. "Little Pig, have you ever seen snow in the North?" Huang Man asked He Huihui.
She shook her head.

"Snowflakes fall, everything is white, and there are only two colors, blue and white, between heaven and earth." Huang Man tried hard to recall the scene he saw in winter, and then he comforted her, "Life is like snow, it can make us lose our way for a while, but don't be afraid. Only by taking that step can you find spring."

"So, little pig, like me, you don't have to be afraid anymore." Huang Man reached out and stroked He Huihui's little head, just like she had comforted herself in the same way when she was a child.

I guess you could say that's repaying a debt of gratitude.

"Barbarian! Come here!" Yu Dawei's voice rang out from the other side of the excavator.

"Oh! Brother Dawei is here!" Huang Man decisively stopped chatting with the little pig and ran away.

He Huihui stood there for a long time, blinking and staring at one spot without moving, seemingly still not recovered from the situation she had just experienced.

She subconsciously reached out her left hand and touched the spot on her head where Huang Man had touched her.

"Hmph! Being tall doesn't make you any better!" He Huihui turned her head and stuck out her tongue in the direction Huang Man ran off to.

Huang Man is 1.77 meters tall, which is not considered tall in Northeast China, but compared to Qingcheng, his height is outstanding.

In addition, He Huihui was only 1.57 meters tall, a full 20 centimeters shorter, making her easily manipulated by Huang Man with his right hand.

He Huihui continued to squat down, hugging her calves with both hands, but she just couldn't calm down and look at the open-pit mine in front of her.

After discussing for a long time, Master Lü and Wang Xiaomeng insisted on giving those foreigners a piece of their mind. If they dared to touch the equipment, they would dare to take pictures. They would then learn from Yu Dawei to fight fire with fire.

However, Yao Jinfu felt it was inappropriate. His most important point was that they couldn't afford to break ties with the other party now. If they did, it would be even more uncertain when the excavator would be able to get back to work.

After a few minutes of discussion, Yao Jinfu volunteered to stay and keep watch that night. He said that as long as they could keep watch tonight and get the car repaired and running tomorrow, everything would be fine.

Yu Dawei took one last look at Master Lü, who had no objections. After all, given the current situation, this was definitely the best option.

"Alright, Axe and I will keep watch here tonight. Huang Man will go back with you." Yu Dawei then remembered that Huang Man was still keeping watch for him. He turned around and hurriedly called Manzi back, then explained the situation to him.

"Brother Dawei, I also want to keep watch with you guys." Huang Man was a little unhappy when he saw that the other two were with him and he was left alone.

"Listen to me, we'll need you to do the heavy lifting tomorrow," Yu Dawei comforted Huang Man, which finally convinced him.

After the plan was finalized, everyone sped up the repair work even more, with those who needed to clean the parts doing so and those who needed to install them doing so.

Throughout the afternoon, Yu Dawei and Master Lü once again demonstrated their master-level teamwork in front of everyone, with the steps for assembling the engine almost etched into their minds.

When it comes to what to install, he installs the flywheel, and I tighten the screws. Whenever the other party rotates the gears, I subconsciously check the valve condition and adjust the valve timing accordingly.

This was also the first time Master Lü had seen Yu Dawei adjust the valves. Every master mechanic does the same thing, and Yu Dawei relies more on his experience and intuition from his previous life.

There's no need for any messy timing tools; those are things he'd already mastered back in the day.

The engine block was quickly installed, and the four-piece set had already been installed in advance. Next, the fan, exhaust pipe, valve cover, oil pan, and so on were installed on the engine.

Just as the sun was about to set, the crane operator, who had slept in the truck all day, finally came in handy.

The engine was then hoisted for main assembly.

Master Lü and Yu Dawei stood one in front of the other on the engine rack, while Huang Man and Yao Jinfu went up below to help stabilize the engine.

Wang Xiaomeng was below the excavator, helping to pass tools and connecting cables to the side of the excavator.

He Huihui stood near Huang Ma's Citroen, looking up at them as they hoisted the engine and carefully placed it into the huge machine. She could clearly see Huang Man's chubby and serious face, and smiled wryly, "Who said that silly man hasn't changed? He seems to have become more manly than before. He would probably be more masculine if he were a little thinner."

"Lower!" Yu Dawei shouted to the crane operator, his eyes fixed on the engine. Finally, when the engine was completely and steadily placed on the frame, he turned and shouted, "Good!"

"Let's hurry up and pack it before it gets dark!" Yu Dawei took the lead.
