Cheng Ran closed the hood of the car, came to the driver's seat, turned the key, and after a humming sound, the engine came alive again. Cheng Ran got out of the car under the surprised expression of the driver named Zheng, took the handkerchief handed to him by the secretary, and said, "Just now I smelled the lingering smell of gasoline in the cab. Does your car usually have severe engine vibrations when you accelerate suddenly, and the speed drops rapidly, or even stalls? When you slowly add gas, the engine speed can rise to 4,000, and it is a bit difficult to go up further?"
The driver was stunned, and after a moment he asked, "Why... have you driven this car before?"
Not only the driver, but also the secretary and the middle-aged man, all looked at him with a look of contemplation. These words were also on their mind. He was so familiar with this car, could it be that you have really driven this car? And this car, I am afraid there are not many in Shanhai City now, and only companies of their size would be equipped for middle-aged men of this level. Even the mayor has never ridden in it...
"Practice makes perfect. I just need to listen to the sound to determine the position..." Cheng Ran waved his hand. "I smelled gasoline just after entering the cab. This is a typical manifestation of incomplete combustion. The first thing I consider is that the mixed gas is too lean. This should be a fuel supply problem. So I just disassembled the fuel supply system and found that the gasoline filter was too dirty and clogged. The gasoline filter should be sealed. I just opened it to clean it as an emergency measure. It's fine to drive away. You will have to replace this thing when you go back."
"This may be due to the mismatch between imported cars and current domestic oil products, but this is just an additional problem. I checked the car in neutral after starting it, and the idle speed was very high. It exceeded the normal value, which is very abnormal. The root cause should be the intake manifold leakage. The electronic control system of this car uses an intake manifold pressure sensor. This signal controls the air-fuel ratio and ignition timing. Once the intake manifold leaks, the sensor outputs a high-voltage signal, which increases the amount of fuel injected by the engine. Over time, the oil product matching problem becomes prominent, causing carbon deposits and oil line blockage."
Cheng Ran put the handkerchief back into the storage compartment of the driver's side door after wiping it, looking like an experienced driver.
The driver named Zheng was dumbfounded, as if he saw the master who taught him driving back then reappear.
The middle-aged man at the side finally spoke up, "Little brother, this car is imported... Where did you learn all this?" He couldn't help but call Cheng Ran "little brother".
"I learned it on the Internet." Cheng Ran walked forward without looking back.
The three of them got back into the car. Seeing Cheng Ran's unrequited look, the secretary spoke after a long pause, "Young people are really strong... The country is really strong..."
He really experienced the dilemma of his country's backward industry, the high price of spare parts, the extremely long replacement cycle, the discrimination of technology, and the things they sold to you, only taught you simple repairs, and the core parts were kept as they were, and all foreign engineers came to solve them in person, for fear that you would learn the technology. Now looking at such an extraordinary boy, in the end, he could only use this sentence to replace his inner thoughts.
The middle-aged man also nodded, "If our next generation has such a strong desire to learn on their own, and can reach such a level... then the next generation will definitely be stronger than our generation, and the prosperity of the country is just around the corner..."
At this point, the middle-aged man seemed to have thought of something and naturally fell silent. The secretary did not dare to bring up the topic anymore. The car continued to move forward, soon overtaking the car and driving into the Moon Village.
This incident was just an episode. Cheng Ran was still immersed in the feeling of touching the antique. Men have a natural fascination with good tools. Uncle is the local name, strictly speaking, it should be the eldest cousin. Uncle's place of entertainment was in a small garden area near the lake with a leisure hall and tea room. When Cheng Ran arrived, he saw that three cousins had already arrived. The cousin was Uncle's son, named Cheng Qi, and the cousins Cheng Xiang and Li Yu were the children of the second father and aunt respectively.
The four brothers of the Cheng family have always been in harmony, except that Cheng Qi is unrestrained and unruly, Cheng Xiang is lively, and Li Yu is relatively the most introverted.
When the three saw Cheng Ran coming, Cheng Xiang and Li Yu said, "Brother, why did you come just now? We have been waiting for you for a long time."
Cheng Qi just waved to Cheng Ran casually. He was holding a guitar at the moment and playing the guitar to demonstrate his skills to Cheng Xiang and Li Yu.
Cheng Ran was filled with emotion when he saw Cheng Qi's clear smile and handsome appearance. If he had any idols during his school days, his cousin was definitely one of them.
Cheng Qi is much older than them and is in the high school department of No. 2 Middle School. This year is the college entrance examination. In Cheng Ran's memory, Cheng Qi seemed to have only been admitted to a second-tier university in Rongzhou. Looking at the situation now, it seems that the trajectory is the same as in the previous life.
Cheng Qi was tall, 1.88 meters tall at that time. He was also a well-known figure in school, the captain of the basketball team, and he had represented the city in provincial competitions. His reputation spread far and wide. If we compare him to "Slam Dunk", Cheng Qi was a character like Rukawa Kaede. Of course, he was also very popular with girls in school. Many years later, his classmates mentioned Cheng Qi with a kind of attitude of praising but criticizing: "He is a good person, but he likes to show off when he has the ball... He doesn't pass the ball, has no sense of teamwork, and likes to show off..." In short, he was full of resentment...
I thought my cousin's life would be a success, but later his life was bleak. After he graduated from college, his family arranged a job in telecommunications for him. It was a good job, but he quit his job because his girlfriend got excited and followed her to the south. At that time, my uncle had retired, and the family was gradually falling behind. When it came time to talk about marriage, his girlfriend started to dislike him because of various trivial matters. Later, they broke up. Cheng Qi was hit hard and never recovered. After that, he never wanted to talk about marriage again, and would rather change girlfriends one after another.
Now looking at Cheng Qi with long hair, playing guitar, Cheng Ran wondered whether life is like sailing on the sea, or whether it is determined by personality. If Cheng Qi had avoided that relationship in this life, would he have taken the same path
Listening to Cheng Qi playing the guitar and telling some weird ghost stories, which was Cheng Qi's specialty, he always used ghost stories to scare his brothers into obeying him. Cheng Ran missed them quite a lot.
At this time, a Peugeot drove into the parking lot, and two tall men got out of the car. When Cheng Ran saw the people coming, he stood up immediately. The man who got out from the passenger seat was none other than his cousin Cheng Bin, who had used his reputation to scare the head teacher Zhang Ming. He was currently the deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, in charge of the Criminal Police Brigade, the Economic Crime Investigation Brigade, and the Anti-Drug Brigade.
The driver was his subordinate, You Xiaojun. Although he was short, he was said to be a champion in fighting in his uncle's company, and he and his uncle were close friends. Cheng Bin had been keeping You Xiaojun by his side in the public security system for many years.
But You Xiaojun is actually 7 or 8 years younger than his uncle. His family is from SX. His father fell to his death while digging wild vegetables. He was raised by his mother since he was a child. After he was sent to the army, his mother got seriously ill and there was no one left in his hometown. Later, Cheng Bin came out and took You Xiaojun with him. Over the years, You Xiaojun was treated like a family member. Every New Year and festival was celebrated together. Cheng Ran and his brothers all called him "Brother You".
You Xiaojun also regarded them as his brothers and relatives. Whenever he heard such greetings, his dark face would smile with white teeth. And every time he gave these brothers red envelopes for the New Year, they were full!
Later, my uncle scolded You Xiaojun, saying that it was all done on purpose by the brothers. Don’t be fooled by his sweet words, it’s all for your red envelope. How much is your salary
You Xiaojun, on the other hand, looked protective of his nephew, saying, "I am willing to do this! My nephew, you shouldn't give it to me! I am happy to give it to you!"
But later... something happened to his cousin, and You Xiaojun was also implicated. The misfortune of the big family came so suddenly.
Fortunately, we are now in a warm and simple time when everything can still be restored...
When everyone is present, the big family will naturally start the meal.
In fact, the main purpose of this meal was to encourage Cheng Qi, who was about to take the college entrance examination, and to look forward to Cheng Ran's high school entrance examination. The aunt raised her glass and said, "I wish Cheng Qi to do well in the exam and perform exceptionally well. I wish our Ran'er to be admitted to No. 4 Middle School smoothly!"
Seeing everyone raising their glasses in agreement, Cheng Ran felt so embarrassed, wondering how much this person was pessimistic about him... However, considering the performance of the company back then, it seemed normal to have such low expectations.
Uncle Cheng Bin doesn't look like the kind of person who can make You Xiaojun completely devoted. He is like a scholar. Among the crowd, although he has the title of deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, he also has the demeanor of a Confucian general, like a college student in the 1970s. He always smiles warmly at people, listens to what you say, and speaks in an extremely gentle and organized manner.
So the people of the Cheng family are not ostentatious, but very gentle, and as gentle as jade.
After dinner, You Xiaojun and Cheng Bin both received several calls.
The Cheng brothers inadvertently heard You Xiaojun talking about the couple's bodies found on the North Mountain, and the progress of the fight at a barbecue stall in the city that resulted in one death and five injuries not long ago.
They felt a chill down their spine when they heard this.
After making the call, Cheng Bin remembered something and called all four people over.
Cheng Bin sat under the grape vine trellis. Cheng Ran and his four brothers found a seat in front of him one by one and sat down, all looking at their uncle with smiles on their faces.
The bookish look on Cheng Bin's face that he had when the whole family was having dinner just now gradually disappeared, replaced by a calm but cold expression. "Just three days ago, several high school students had a fight at a barbecue stall. The reason was jealousy, and a person was killed by a bottle... Just think about it, just for such a trivial matter, someone died... Do you know the look on the deceased's parents who rushed to the shell the most fiercely at that time? I remember it very clearly. They were so sad that they wished they could die! They were so humble that they would go to the eighteenth level of hell if it was possible to get their son back!"
Cheng Qi, Cheng Xiang and Li Yu's faces changed. They were panicked and didn't know why Cheng Bin spoke to them in such an attitude. They were so scared.
Cheng Bin was very satisfied when he saw the changes in their expressions. But then he saw Cheng Ran's eyes, well... It was a bit surprising that there was no fear in this boy's eyes.
Cheng Bin continued, "Why am I telling you all this? It's to warn you not to go out and cause trouble for me. If someone provokes you, endure it! If you can't endure it, and you encounter personal injury, call the police station and the police will handle it."
“But,” Cheng Bin said, his face changed, his eyes gradually widened, it was as if he had flowed from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, unspeakable horror, “If anyone dares to use my name, saying that your cousin is the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau and wants to gain face and become the boss, and your parents can’t bear it, I will break your legs first!”
The three brothers who were originally talking and laughing were now looking in shock at the man who had just been as gentle as jade but now revealed his true face.
A huge shadow area enveloped them.
