Transmigrated to the 1960s, Li Chu only wanted to lay low and live a safe, peaceful life.
..."Brother, what's the name of this song?" Li Qiaoyun, who hadn't spoken until now, asked.
A song a father sings to his daughter
Li Qiaoyun was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then shook her head with a wry smile.
"Alright, sis, Qiu Nan, you two chat, I'm going back to my room to rest. Brother-in-law, brother, please sit down."
"Qiaoyun, you should go back and rest. We're all family, no need to be so polite. Old Wang, let's go back too." Li Qin said quickly as she watched Li Qiaoyun stand up and greet everyone.
After Li Qin and the others left, only Li Chu and his family remained in the courtyard.
Shen Yi looked at his father-in-law with admiration, but at the same time, he was extremely worried. He was afraid that one day his wife might suddenly have a whim and ask him to learn this thing too, which would really be the death of him.
Li Chugang turned his head and saw a fleeting look of worry in his eyes. He knew what the man was thinking in no time.
"Xiao Yi"
"Dad, I'm here."
"Don't worry, Huihui isn't the type to make a fuss or force you to do things you know you can't do."
"Hehe, Dad, I'm not worried."
Seeing his insincere expression, Li Chu smiled and asked, "Xiao Yi, you can drive, right?"
"Oh? Yes, I can."
"You have a photo, right?"
"some."
"Yes, I asked someone to get two jeeps. They should arrive in the next few days. You can have one for your family and one for Yueyue's family."
"A car! This is a car!" Shen Yi's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
"Dad, didn't we talk about buying a motorcycle the other day?" Li Wenhui, who was sitting there, couldn't help but ask when she heard her father's words.
“Yueyue told me that motorcycles are impossible to ride in winter, and I thought about it and she was right. It’s so cold, why not just turn them into cars so we can drive them all year round?”
"But aren't private car ownership prohibited now?"
"They won't allow it. We'll just have to register it under Xu Yang's restaurant name."
There are a few men who aren't interested in cars, but Chen Yi's eyes were now shining like little light bulbs.
"Thank you, Dad!"
"No need to thank me, I'll leave the task of picking up and dropping off Huihui to you from now on."
"That's a must."
Although Ding Qiunan didn't say anything, her face was already scrunched up as she kept calculating how much the two cars would cost and how much gas she would need in the future.
She finally asked the question after Li Wenhui and Shen Yi had also returned.
Compared to Wang Yueyue, who grew up by her side like a daughter, Shen Yi was ultimately just a son-in-law. There were some things Ding Qiunan really couldn't say to his face.
"Li Chu, how much would it cost to buy two cars? I need to check if we have enough money."
Holding her child, Wang Yueyue smiled and, before Li Chu could say anything, said, "Aunt Qiu Nan, Xuan and I still have some money here. I'll give it to you later."
"No need, no need, your dad and I still have money here." Ding Qiunan waved her hand at her daughter-in-law, her eyes fixed on her husband sitting on the sofa.
"Oh, I ordered the new 2020 Jeep. It seems like it costs around 100,000 yuan."
Clang
Ding Qiunan had just picked up the teacup from the coffee table to drink some water when her husband's words made her hand tremble, and the teacup fell to the ground, spilling water all over the floor.
"How much did you say?" Her voice became a little shrill because she was too excited.
Wang Yueyue stared at her father-in-law with her mouth agape and her eyes wide. Wasn't it supposed to be a used car? How did it become a new car, costing over 100,000 yuan? Who could afford that?
In an instant, she calculated all her savings, but no matter how she calculated it, it wasn't enough to buy one car, let alone two.
"It seems to cost around 100,000 to 100,000 yuan per car, but I don't know the exact price."
"Is that the Jeep that our hospital just issued to us a while ago?"
"Ah, yes, yes, that's it, just like that."
"Ten thousand or so? Li Chu, are you crazy? You couldn't even afford one car if you sold me, let alone two. How are you going to make a living?" Ding Qiunan felt the veins on her forehead throbbing.
"Dad Chu, didn't we agree to find an old car that was scrapped by a certain unit? How come it's a new car now? This is too expensive."
"No old car is as comfortable to drive as a new one."
Suddenly, Ding Qiunan thought of a possibility: "Are you planning to sell all those bottles and jars of yours?"
"Bottles and jars? Oh, you mean my antiques?"
"yes"
"That can't be sold. It's a family heirloom I left to my eldest grandson, isn't that right, little rascal?"
"oh oh"
The little rascal, who was sucking his thumb in his mother's arms, was overjoyed when he saw his grandfather talking to him.
Li Chu, Ding Qiunan, was furious.
"Are you crazy? Don't you know how much money we have?"
"Pfft..." Li Chu couldn't help but laugh when he saw that his wife was a little angry.
"Oh, don't be angry, I was just kidding. The car doesn't cost any money."
He dared not tease them any further, otherwise he would only suffer the consequences.
"Huh? It doesn't cost any money?"
Ding Qiunan and Wang Yueyue stared at him with question marks on their foreheads.
"No need," Li Chu said with a smile, waving his hand.
"I was originally planning to buy two old cars that some unit had scrapped. When I mentioned it to Uncle Wang yesterday, he said I didn't need to worry about it. The commerce department was having a headache over how to give me a bonus, and they were probably even happier than I was to make this request."
"A reward? Why would they give you a reward?" Ding Qiunan was even more confused by these words. They were together every day, so could it be that her man was doing something secretly again?
"The wrinkle-removing formula I submitted has been made into a finished product and is already on sale in the US this month. The advertisement I got from that patient worked quite well, and they made a good profit, so..."
Really?
"Of course, why would I lie to you about this? The car will arrive tomorrow or the day after, and I'll get a new car this time too."
Small Bookstore
You can get a car for free! Why not take advantage of this opportunity?
"Dad Chu, but haven't they already given out 1% of the shares as a reward?" Wang Yueyue asked, somewhat puzzled.
“One thing at a time. Just think of this as a bonus. Also, the shares are no longer one percent. Now it’s one percent each for you and Huihui.”
? ? ?
Seeing his daughter-in-law's bewildered expression, Li Chu continued, "I submitted another prescription a while ago, and they gave me another 1% share. As usual, it's already split equally between you and Huihui."
Wang Yueyue didn't know what the prescription was, but Ding Qiunan did.
"No wonder you're not in a hurry to make that medicine now."
"It's already been handed over, so I don't need to worry about the follow-up matters."
