Back to the topic, after Little Liu carefully admired the entire package, he couldn't help but completely tear off the outer layer of plastic film. Then, he quickly opened the box and took out the things inside one by one.
This 4WD box contained a total of a few things.
First, there were two plastic model boards. Dozens of different integrally formed plastic parts were fixed on them. One only needed to use scissors to cut off the parts that were stuck together, or directly pull them off by force.
There were also a few small plastic packaging bags, which contained transmission shafts, motors, gears, switches, metal pieces, and so on.
Finally, there was a small bottle of lubricant and a piece of paint sticker that could be torn off.
In addition, there were three booklets. One was an assembly manual, one was a three-pack certificate, and the last one was a postcard printed in beautiful and elegant font. The words were written on it.
"Dear mini 4WD users, please write down your details before April 1, 1992, including your name, age, place of residence, etc. Then, send this postcard to the designated address, and you will be able to sign up for the National 4WD Challenge Competition!
Little Liu excitedly hid this postcard in his schoolbag, and then began to assemble the 4WD according to the blueprint.
Generally speaking, a complete stranger who had never been in contact with model assembly before would not be able to successfully assemble a 4WD in one to two hours.
Some people couldn't even assemble it at all.
Little Liu also encountered a lot of trouble at first, but after comparing the blueprint and some thinking, he quickly solved the problem. Finally, in less than an hour, he successfully assembled a 4WD.
Then, from his father's small radio, he carefully took out two No. 5 batteries and installed them. When he pressed the button, the 4WD started to quickly rotate.
Little Liu excitedly took his 4WD and rushed downstairs. This was the first time he had his own toy like other children. Just as he was about to compete with them, he found that his usual friends were now lying on the grass in distress.
"What's wrong with you guys?" Little Liu asked, puzzled.
"This 4WD, we can't assemble it at all …" A child said dejectedly.
"Yeah, this 4WD is really too difficult to assemble. We've been trying since yesterday morning, but until now, we still can't assemble it!"
"And mine. I've pieced it together, but no matter how I press the switch, there's no reaction!"
It turned out that these children were all unlucky children who had bought mini 4WD cars but found that they didn't know how to assemble them, even if the blueprint was right in front of them.
Actually, it wasn't that these children were stupid. It was just that their era wasn't like the 2020's, where all the children received all kinds of training from a young age and had access to all kinds of information. These children basically didn't have any entertainment other than throwing sandbags, jumping rope, and playing with sand. They also didn't come into contact with assembling models. Of course, they were at a loss when they suddenly received a somewhat complicated mini 4WD.
Don't ask them why they didn't ask their parents for help. What a joke. Many of them bought their mini 4WD in secret. If their parents found out that they spent five yuan to buy a toy, they would probably eat bamboo shoots and meat roasted over it.
"It's very simple. Look, I've already put it together!" Little Liu took out his mini 4WD and pressed the switch. The wheels of the mini 4WD began to spin at high speed. He placed it on the ground and ran. In an instant, it ran a distance of more than ten meters. Little Liu couldn't catch up and only stopped when the mini 4WD got stuck in the grass.
"Wow!" Seeing that the mini 4WD in the animation was really running, the children's eyes widened and they screamed. Then, they all gathered around Little Liu and begged, "Liu Nian, come and help us put it together!"
"Liu Nian, I beg you, please help us put it together!"
One by one, the children begged in front of Little Liu. Little Liu Nian, who was usually not favored among his friends, finally experienced the feeling of being the moon surrounded by stars. A bright smile appeared on his face, and then he began to help his friends put together the mini 4WD cars one by one.
With this experience, Little Liu Nian's assembling speed became faster and faster. In less than five minutes, he finished assembling the mini 4WD for one of his friends. Little Liu Nian usually didn't speak and was like a little girl. Who would have thought that he could be so amazing?
However, not everyone's mini 4WD cars were put together. One of the children didn't know if it was because he was careless when assembling the mini 4WD last time, but he couldn't find the metal piece at the switch no matter how hard he tried.
After this child learned of this shocking news, he began to cry in an instant. This was his pocket money that he had saved for half a year, but because of a small part, it was gone in the end.
Seeing this little classmate crying so sadly, Liu Nian couldn't bear it, so he ran back home and took out some tools from his father's toolbox. Then, after searching for a long time, he took out a copper plate from an abandoned cable switch. Using the tools, he knocked on it and cut it. Surprisingly, he was able to make a decent switch copper plate. After putting it into the mini 4WD, the mini 4WD really started moving.
This child naturally turned his sadness into joy, and the other children were stunned again. They all looked at Little Liu Nian with eyes of worship.
If Little Liu Nian was just a powerful little friend before, then in their eyes, Little Liu Nian had become as awesome and powerful as an adult.
Liu Nian had never enjoyed this kind of worship before. Just as he was immersed in this great joy, his ear was suddenly pulled hard by someone. He looked up and was startled. It turned out that his father was glaring at him fiercely.
"I told you to buy toys!"
"I told you to waste money!"
Naturally, Little Liu Nian was severely beaten by his father. Little Liu Nian cried, but when his father asked him to immediately return the goods and get the money back, Little Liu Nian hugged his mini 4WD and refused no matter what. This made his father even angrier. In the end, he even forgot that he was supposed to work overtime in the factory to look after the boiler and beat Little Liu Nian at home.
However, his father didn't really hit him. Little Liu Nian's little butt was beaten until it turned red. Just as the father and son were in a deadlock, the outside of the window suddenly turned red, just like Little Liu Nian's butt. This was obviously extremely gorgeous and abnormal at night.
Little Liu Nian's father saw the direction of the red and was instantly stunned. Then, he immediately left Little Liu Nian and rushed out with his cane. The next day, Little Liu Nian found out that the boiler room of his father's company caught fire. Three workers inside were burned alive. If Little Liu Nian's father didn't beat his son at home tonight and went to work overtime, then the number of people who died would be four.
When Little Liu Nian's father came back, he looked at Little Liu Nian and the mini 4WD in silence. The three people who died were all workers in the boiler room. They had a very good relationship with Little Liu Nian's father. They smoked and drank together as if they were brothers.
Perhaps because of the death of his friends, Little Liu Nian's father didn't blame Little Liu Nian. Instead, he asked Little Liu Nian if he really liked mini 4WD. Then, in his spare time, he taught Little Liu Nian some mechanical and electronic knowledge.
Little Liu Nian's father used to be a college student. He was full of passion and knowledge. However, because of a disaster, he became like this. With this opportunity, Little Liu Nian began to learn all kinds of related knowledge by himself. At this time, Little Liu Nian was only a fifth-grade elementary school student.
What Little Liu Nian didn't know was that his life had changed because of this mini 4WD. He was no longer the same person he was in history.
The original him, because his father didn't beat him, he promptly went to work overtime. Then, because of his legs, there was no way he could escape the sudden fire. In the end, he was burned alive in the boiler room.
And because Little Liu Nian lost his father's care, he gave up on himself and became a gangster. Later, he became addicted to drugs. In the end, before the age of 18, he was hacked to death in a street fight. No one found him for a long time. This fatherless and motherless child quietly disappeared from this world.
