After the village chief left, Cheng Muhai and Liu Ying pulled Xue Ling and kept asking questions.
"Lingling, aren't you planning to buy a house in the county next month? Why are you booking so much land? You kid...don't you know how wide an acre of land is?"
"I know how wide an acre of land is." Xue Ling replied with a smile.
"Ling, the land at our door is only about 20 acres. Look, it's such a large area! Two hundred acres is very wide! Those lands are not good enough for farming. They are all hard land and can only be used to build houses. Let's build
What are there so many houses for? No one lives here anymore..."
"Dad, Mom, we won't build a house here for the time being." Xue Ling explained: "But I want to take advantage of the fact that the land is cheap now. The land down the village road is very good. If you can buy it, buy it as soon as possible."
"What?!" Liu Ying smiled bitterly and whispered: "Sixty yuan per acre is so expensive! What are we doing with these? We don't farm anymore."
The old couple didn't understand Xue Ling's move. Seeing that they couldn't persuade her, they had to ask their son for help.
Cheng Tianyuan smiled slightly and said, "She can buy whatever she wants. Whatever she earns should be allocated and arranged by herself."
The son has already said this, and it is hard for the old couple to say anything else.
Xue Ling yawned, then stopped and said, "Dad, Mom, you have to believe me. In short, I am right to buy it. You will know it later."
"Oh..." Cheng Muhai couldn't help but hesitantly asked: "Lingling, can you have so much money around you? Don't you still plan to buy a car and a house? The two thousand yuan you gave us is still there, why not-"
"Don't worry." Xue Ling said confidently: "That's enough! After buying a car and a house, there will still be some leftover!"
Liu Ying said "Yo!", covered her mouth and laughed.
"That-that's too much!"
Cheng Muhai also laughed and whispered: "It's really amazing."
Xue Ling and Cheng Tianyuan smiled at each other and returned to the room hand in hand.
The two of them hadn't been back together for a long time, and the room was a little deserted. There were several large suitcases piled in the corner, all of which were Xue Ling's dowry.
Cheng Tianyuan suggested: "There are few people living in the old house and no one is taking care of it. Things will easily break if left here. While Ahu's truck is outside, get them all in!"
Xue Ling quickly found a rag and wiped the box clean, while Cheng Tianyuan helped carry it into the car.
Soon evening came and Ahu woke up vaguely.
Cheng Tianyuan made a cup of light tea and handed it to him to drink.
Ahu drank it and muttered: "My head is a little dizzy..."
Cheng Tianyuan was not at ease and suggested: "How about we rest here tonight."
"No..." Ahu muttered: "The place is not big, it's too inconvenient."
Xue Ling didn't want to rest here either. Firstly, she didn't bring any clothes to change, and secondly, the quilt here hadn't been dried for many days and had a faint musty smell. She would definitely not be able to sleep if it was covered with it.
So she suggested: "How about I drive it?"
Ahu immediately responded: "Okay! Sister-in-law, come here! You'll be fine!"
The family piled things into the car, checked the doors and windows, cleaned up the kitchen and yard, and then set off.
Ahu looked at the two big buckets at the back of the truck and laughed loudly: "My fish! When I get back, I will bake two of them for my mother to eat. The river fish here is delicious! Fat and fragrant!"
After Liu Ying climbed into the car, she called out warmly: "Ling, please drive slowly, we are not in a hurry."
"Hey!" Xue Ling started the car calmly, then put it into gear. The car slowly moved and slowly drove out of Chengjiacun.
When they reached the provincial road outside, Xue Ling speeded up.
The provincial road was deserted, there were no big cars, and it was very smooth. We arrived at the county seat in ten minutes.
After driving for about ten minutes, we entered the development zone and parked smoothly outside the "Café de Café".
Cheng Muhai laughed and said: "It's so convenient to have a car! It takes more than 20 minutes to reach the county seat, which is very fast!"
Ahu was busy unloading the fish and shouted: "Uncle, don't worry, my sister-in-law is ready to buy a car! You can go back to the village anytime you want in the future, and it will only take an hour to go back and forth."
Brothers and sisters Chen Min and Chen Lan ran out to help carry things and help people.
"I thought you would have to go back tomorrow! I have to ask my aunt to prepare more dinner and say that everyone is back."
"No need to prepare!" Ahu said happily: "We will eat fish tonight! Steamed fish, grilled fish, braised fish, everything is available!"
…
The next day Ahu went to load the goods, while Xue Ling continued to work in the clothing store as a translator, and Cheng Tianyuan worked in the store, helping her copy the final draft whenever he had time in the morning and evening.
A few days later, Ahu came back after a long journey.
"Where's sister-in-law? Sister-in-law! Come quickly! I have good news!"
His voice was so loud that everyone rushed out one after another.
"Huzi, what's wrong?"
"You're back! Come in and have a glass of water."
Ahu wiped his sweat and entered the store with a smile.
"How's business these days?"
Chen Min smiled and replied: "It's very good, very stable."
Ahu patted his shoulder, took the big bowl handed to him by his mother, and started drinking.
Xue Ling heard the shouting, put away the translation book, and walked over quickly.
As soon as Ahu saw her, he quickly smiled and shouted: "Sister-in-law! I saw the jeep you want to buy in the provincial capital! Now there is no need to apply, you just need to pay the tax and the car can be driven away immediately! There are three cars in stock!"
"
"Really?" Xue Ling asked in surprise: "Where are they selling it?"
Ahu replied: "The outsourcing operation office of the automobile factory."
"Great!" Xue Ling said: "After a while, brother Yuan learns it, and we will buy a car."
Chen Min on the side couldn't help but ask: "Cousin, does a jeep cost a lot of money? How much is it approximately?"
"I asked, it's more than 32,000, and you still have to pay taxes." Ahu replied: "It's about 35,000."
Everyone was stunned, except Xue Ling.
After Ahu's goods were shipped, he took Cheng Tianyuan and Xue Ling out to learn driving when he had time. Later, Xue Ling didn't have to go, and Cheng Tianyuan continued to learn driving for a few days.
One fine day, Ahu took the two of them to apply for a driver's license.
The two handed over photos and signed signatures.
The staff got on the bus and observed it for a while, then said happily: "Not bad! OK, come and get the certificate in two days."
Ahu came forward and said with a smile: "You stamp the seal neatly, and we will take it away together! Don't you think you don't have to waste gas when you run around?"
"You bastard!" The man slapped his arm and said with a smile: "It's good for you. Once you make a lot of money, you will never come back. It's not easy to see you! It's better to come more than a dozen times, otherwise I won't be able to see you.
It’s done for you!”
Ahu laughed loudly, opened the drawer himself, took the seal, and quickly stamped the certificate with a click.
"Okay! Let's go!" He picked up the two certificates and stuffed them into his pockets. He took out two packs of cigarettes from another pocket and threw them to his old colleagues.
The old colleague smiled and glared at him, took the cigarette, rubbed it twice, and put it in his pocket.
After getting their driver's licenses, Xue Ling and his wife went to the provincial capital to buy a car with Ah Hu.
Three days later, the young couple came back in a jeep.
Everyone rushed up, touching here and there, and everyone was grinning from ear to ear.
Cheng Muhai's eyes flashed with tears and he swallowed: "That's great! Our family also has a car! If it were before, I... I wouldn't even dare to think about it!"
"Dad, Mom, Ahu Mom, you all sit up!" Xue Ling shouted with a smile: "Let's go! I'll take you for a ride!"
