Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

”You blockhead!” Ning Chenyang couldn’t help but laugh.

”Alright, stop joking around. How long from our compound to the amusement park?” Sheng Xiaoguang asked.

”It’s not close.” Ning Chenyang had been to the amusement park many times, so he knew the route by heart.

”At this speed, won’t it take us over an hour?” Sheng Xiaoguang was still dissatisfied with the car’s slow speed.

”If you think it’s slow, you drive?” Ning Chenyang was fooling around, but seeing so many pedestrians, he was still very cautious.

”Fine. I won’t rush you then...”

Pedestrians on the road dodged as they saw the car.

The car was occupied by a few five- or six-year-olds — how reliable could they be?

Some drivers even got so scared they wanted to take a detour: ”Wow! Am I seeing things? Is there anyone in that car or not?”

Seeing the terrified expressions, Bean Sprout proudly started humming a song.

As he hummed, he glanced at the rearview mirror out of the corner of his eye, and what he saw made him break out in a cold sweat: ”Chenyang, several military vehicles are chasing us!”

”Could it be the guard company coming?”

”Most likely it is!”

”What do we do?” Bean Sprout panicked instantly, ”If they catch us, my butt’s definitely going to get spanked tonight! My parents will surely give me a double whammy!”

”You might as well change your name from Bean Sprout to Scaredy-Cat.” Ning Chenyang was saying as the red light at the intersection ahead turned on.

Cars in this direction stopped.

”It’s over, it’s over...” Bean Sprout shivered in fear.

”Quit whining. Abandon the car, let’s catch a bus!” Ning Chenyang made a decisive decision, leading the group of troublemakers to turn off the engine and jump out of the car.

Cars were stopped in this direction, so they crossed the road and went to catch a bus.

In one of the military vehicles behind, a warrior pointed forward and shouted: ”Captain, the kids have abandoned the car and escaped.”

”These little kids are really out of control.” The captain said with a mix of amusement and frustration, ”And these kids are all from leaders’ families. Can’t beat them, can’t scold them.”

”Especially those two kids from Commander Qin’s and Commissar Wang’s families. They’re a pair of little ancestors!” The young warrior had learned his lesson.

”No worries. When we catch them, we’ll just hand them over to their leaders.” The captain chuckled and said, ”But despite their mischief, you know, in the future, they might just do something great. They’ve got guts and brains! Just the fact that they knew how to drive and got the car out of the big compound already shows they’re not ordinary.”

”Captain, if the Commander hears you say that...”

”Alright. Stop chatting and quickly get off to bring back those little brats!” the captain ordered.

”Yes!”

Captain Wang, the guard, led a few warriors across the road to catch these fearless kids, but they were too late.

The little ones were quick and had already hopped onto a bus.

They were even making faces at them through the glass.

”Captain, now what?”

”What else? Run after the bus!”

All of Ning Chenyang’s wits went into outsmarting the guard company warriors. As soon as they reached the next stop, the kids quickly got off the bus and jumped into a taxi.
