When we came out of the clothing city, Chujiu and I carried bags full of clothes.
Xiaobai not only bought summer clothes for Xiaoyu, but also bought some winter clothes. What if Xiaoyu had to recuperate in the mountains in winter?
These winter clothes, Xiaobai's bargaining is really wonderful.
"Out of season", "Winter this year will definitely not be popular", "It will only get moldy if left alone, why not sell it to me at a loss."
All kinds of words that hurt the boss's heart kept popping out of Xiaobai's mouth.
The owner of a clothing store actually begged Xiaobai to buy two more pieces, otherwise he would worry about keeping them at home for a lifetime. It is better to lose less than to lose all.
When it comes to lunch, Chujiu only knows McDonald’s near the clothing city.
This is the restaurant where we ate burgers for the first time in our lives, and the cows took us to eat them.
"What's the point of eating hamburgers? In foreign countries, only the poor eat them. I'll take you to eat authentic food."
Finally, Xiaobai led us around and around to an alley full of snacks, and Chujiu’s eyes started to shine.
On the way back to Xiaoyu's apartment, Xiaobai found a bank and took out 5,000 yuan in cash and gave it to us to bring to Xiaoyu, along with Xiaoyu's bank card.
Working the same hours, Xiaoyu actually saved 9,000 yuan, and his own savings were only 1,000 yuan. Xiaobai could not figure out how Xiaoyu did it.
"Sister Xiaobai, is it possible that your salary is spent on discovering and looking for delicious food, this important event in life?"
The first words on the ninth day of the lunar month woke up the dreamer. Xiaobai could not help but nod his head, and he would continue to carry forward the glorious mission of discovering delicious food in the future.
Chujiu followed Xiaobai desperately, vowing to join Xiaobai's team, and the two of them would create greater glory together.
Two large suitcases, plus dozens of newly bought clothes, Chujiu frowned. An ordinary car probably couldn't fit them all.
Previously, I asked Wan Li to help me borrow a military jeep from the army when I had something important to do.
This time, at best, we are going back to visit relatives, and none of us are too embarrassed to talk to Wan Li again.
"How about asking Uncle Ding."
The bar owner's wife gave us 10,000 yuan as hard work fee the day before, and now I feel a little confident.
If you don’t take the train, don’t take the train. A round trip of 2,000 kilometers won’t burn much gasoline.
On the way to call Uncle Ding, Chujiu told me that I had ignored the tolls on the highway, which was also a big expense.
We can set off tonight. If we don't take the expressway, we will not only save a lot of money, but the distance will be shorter.
When he sent Xiao Yu to the village before, Wan Li still kept the route map he made for Chujiu in the school, so he could use it this time.
A call was made to Uncle Ding's office at the Chamber of Commerce. When Uncle Ding heard that we wanted to borrow a car, he proudly asked us to drive away at any time. There was no May Day holiday for him anyway.
When Uncle Ding heard that we didn't want to borrow his luxury car, but a van or a mini truck, he was a little confused.
The Chamber of Commerce's worst reception vehicle was a Volkswagen Santana sedan, with no mini trucks or vans at all.
However, Uncle Ding quickly remembered that Deng Deyou's furniture store seemed to have a van that he had bought for two years and had not been used much at all.
As for mini trucks, they don't have any, but Gu Yongnian's medicinal company does have quite a few medium-sized trucks and large trucks.
Over at Jingfei, which specializes in car manufacturing, it is impossible to have cars of this quality. Who would import a van from overseas all the way?
Uncle Ding gave us Deng Deyou’s phone number and asked us to contact Deng Deyou first. If Boss Deng didn’t have one, he would find someone to help us borrow one.
Contacted Deng Deyou, Deng Deyou said that if we didn't mention this matter, he would have forgotten that there was a van thrown in his furniture store warehouse.
After meeting, Deng Deyou waved his hand generously. He bought the van and used it a few times. It will not be used at all later. If we like it, we can drive it and use it as long as we like.
After searching for the keys to the van for a long time, I discovered that the keys were simply thrown away in the car.
Embarrassed, Deng Deyou casually inserted the key into the keyhole and found that the van's engine had no response at all.
"Haha, I guess it's been left there for too long. That's how the car is. If you run it every day, I'm afraid you'll throw it away and it won't move."
Deng Deyou told us that there is an auto repair shop not far from the Furniture City. The boss is an acquaintance of his. His cars have been repaired and maintained here all the time. The boss’s skills are beyond praise.
The three of us pushed the van to the auto repair shop. This made it difficult for Boss Deng, who has such a large business. This was the first time he pushed a van after driving for so many years.
The van is a Wuling brand that is relatively rare on the market. Most vans on the street are of the Changan brand.
Fortunately, the van only lost power in its battery, so the battery was replaced and the engine started right away.
The owner of the auto repair shop lamented that the predecessor of Wuling was indeed the Liuzhou Power Machinery Factory established in 1958.
The engine has been in storage for two years and there is no problem at all. Even if it is a luxury car imported from abroad, it will have some minor problems after it has been in this condition.
After washing the car at the auto repair shop, Deng Deyou also laughed at Chujiu, saying what's so good about washing a broken van.
On the ninth day of the lunar month, the bickering mode started. Some people were driving a car that was not a Cadillac, and they were not claiming to be luxury cars.
After saying goodbye to Deng Deyou, Chujiu drove the van directly to the farmers' wholesale market.
We had to drive back anyway, so I simply bought some things needed in the village, saving Grandma Jian Shu a few trips down the mountain.
On the ninth day of the lunar month, I directly wholesaled a large bag of candles, weighing fifty or sixty kilograms.
In addition to lamp oil, candles are the most commonly used items in the village.
There are also some condiments for cooking, which are not produced in the village.
I originally wanted to buy more things, but after thinking about it, we just couldn't carry so many things up the mountain, so we decided to give up.
On the way back to school, we filled up the gas in the van.
I happened to meet Zhang Feng downstairs in the dormitory. Zhang Feng was surprised that Chujiu could drive.
Chujiu immediately showed him what a 360-degree drift is, and almost threw me out of the car window.
I simply packed my luggage and bought some biscuits, bread and drinks at the school canteen.
While buying drinks, Chujiu remembered that he had promised Lan Yan before that he would definitely bring him a box of drinks next time he returned to the village.
I simply asked Chujiu to buy two boxes of drinks and put them in the car. When passing by Chujiu Village, I could put one of the boxes of drinks in the village.
When the sisters came down the mountain on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, I took them back, and I seemed to have agreed to buy them drinks after crossing Lanxi.
Returning to Xiaoyu's apartment, Chujiu used his bank card to open the door of Xiaoyu's apartment again.
After stuffing two suitcases and a bunch of clothes into the van, there was only room for one seat in the back seat.
After studying the route on the map, Chujiu yelled to start, and the van rushed towards the main road at high speed.
