Chapter 270: Raising a Wife Is Really Expensive



"Of course we have to go!" Aunt Xie came back to her senses and quickly shouted to Xie Guoqiang outside: "Guoqiang, follow Axiao to learn how to drive! Become a transport driver in the future!"

"Mom, I know!" Xie Guoqiang responded loudly outside.

Lin Xiangyi hurriedly said, "Why don't you consider it? We have to make it clear first, being a transport driver is not as free as selling goods. He has to go wherever the goods are needed and be on call at any time. And the salary is not as high as his sales. Sellers are paid according to the amount of goods sold, but drivers have a fixed salary."

"It's okay. You should let him suffer more. It doesn't matter if he gets paid less. He has also learned to drive. How many people dream of learning to drive? Even if you don't want him in the future, it will be easier for him to find a job," Aunt Xie waved her hand.

Lin Xiangyi was somewhat moved.

It is true that being a driver is a very popular profession nowadays, but since Xie Guoqiang already has a job that pays higher than being a driver, being a driver does not seem to be that popular anymore.

In this situation, smart people would choose to continue selling goods instead of being a driver.

Aunt Xie did not hesitate to let Xie Guoqiang follow Xie Qingxiao to learn how to drive...

Isn't it because she spoke to Xie Qingxiao and she thought they needed Xie Guoqiang, so she did not hesitate to let Xie Guoqiang give up the sales job which seemed to have obviously better conditions?

But right now, Lin Xiangyi couldn't explain to Aunt Xie why they came to see Xie Guoqiang. They didn't know how their business would do in the future, so it wouldn't be a good idea to promise them now.

Fortunately, Xie Guoqiang really likes driving and wants to be a driver.

It was decided that he would go to the meat processing factory with Xie Qingxiao to learn how to drive tomorrow.

Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi sat in their house for a while and then went back.

Mother Xie and Aunt Zhao had already prepared dinner at home. Father Xie and Gao Shengnan had already returned. When they saw them coming back, they asked, "Where did you go just now?"

"I went to my uncle's mother's house," Lin Xiangyi said, and told her about asking Xie Guoqiang to learn how to drive.

The family knew that they went to the county town to look at trucks this morning, but they were still surprised to hear that they were going to learn how to drive.

Father Xie swallowed the food in his mouth and asked in disbelief: "You just bought the car?"

This is too fast. You said you wanted to go look at cars this morning, and you bought it tonight?

"I haven't bought it yet, and the paperwork hasn't been completed yet. You can go learn how to drive tomorrow, and when you've learned how to drive and completed the paperwork, you can drive the car back."

Father Xie: “…” What’s the difference between this and buying it?

He knew that the couple always had their own ideas, but in their eyes, buying a truck was as easy as buying cabbage? They bought it without hesitation?

Gao Shengnan was extremely excited: "Second-hand trucks are hard to come by, so if there is a suitable one, of course we should grab it as soon as possible!"

"That's right!" Lin Xiangyi said with a smile.

"Are you going to learn how to drive tomorrow?"

"Yes, Qingxiao and Guoqiang will go together. There are masters in the meat processing factory to teach them."

Gao Shengnan said with some regret: "I have been busy lately, otherwise I would have liked to go and have a look. I am quite curious about how to drive. Hey, it's a bit funny to say that I used to fantasize about being a driver when I saw those drivers."

"Shengnan, you are talking nonsense again. How can a girl be a driver?" Aunt Zhao said hurriedly when she heard it.

"What's the big deal?" Gao Shengnan didn't care: "Although I am a woman, I don't think I am worse than men. If I had the opportunity to learn how to drive, I would definitely not be worse than men..."

"..." Although Aunt Zhao agreed to her daughter's name change to Shengnan, she did not agree from the bottom of her heart that Gao Shengnan was really comparable to a man.

In fact, she always blamed herself for being a burden to her daughter and fantasized that she could find a good man to marry.

"That's right," Lin Xiangyi agreed and said, "But cousin, forget about being a driver. You're not suitable. Just help me manage the workshop. When we have a private car, or a private car for sale, we can buy one!"

"Great!" Gao Shengnan was so excited by Lin Xiangyi's words: "A car is much cooler than a truck."

"That's right. Let's go for a drive and show everyone who says women can't drive."

"Hahahahaha~" Gao Shengnan couldn't help laughing when she thought of that majestic scene.

The others couldn't help laughing when they saw them being inexplicably excited.

Not taking their words seriously, even Gao Shengnan thought that Lin Xiangyi was just teasing her.

Let's not talk about whether women can drive. Where can you buy private cars now? There are none. Nowadays, all cars are government cars, and only cadres can ride them.

Only Xie Qingxiao glanced at Lin Xiangyi who was smiling happily, and silently added buying a car to his to-do list in his heart.

It is really expensive to support his wife. Not only does he have to buy various electrical appliances, but he also has to buy houses all over the country. Now he has to buy a car as well.

...We still have to speed up the process of making money!

That evening, Xie Qingxiao discussed the subsequent business plan with Lin Xiangyi and decided to expand the business to the city after the cooperation with Chenchong County was finalized.

The next day, Xie Qingxiao and Xie Guoqiang went to the meat processing factory to learn how to drive. In the evening, they came back together.

But the next day, Xie Qingxiao did not go with Xie Guoqiang. He slept until ten o'clock, got up, played with his two sons, had lunch, and then slowly rode his bike to the meat processing factory to learn how to drive.

"Why are you so unhurried?" Lin Xiangyi asked, "I heard that Guoqiang went to learn how to drive before dawn this morning."

"I learned it yesterday," said Xie Qingxiao.

Lin Xiangyi???

"You learned it in one day?"

"It only took half a day actually." Actually, it didn't even take half a day. After understanding the operating principles, he quickly got the hang of it.

Lin Xiangyi: “…” Isn’t that Versailles?

However, Xie Qingxiao was indeed very smart and understood many things very quickly. Moreover, in the field of mechanics, which boys are naturally better at, it was not surprising that he learned to drive in half a day.

But Lin Xiangyi was more worried: "Will Guoqiang be discouraged by you?" Otherwise, why would he go to the meat processing factory before dawn? The master may not even be at work.

"No, I lied to him and said I had learned it before," Xie Qingxiao said, "The main reason why he went so early was because he liked cars and wanted to learn how to drive as soon as possible."

Lin Xiangyi: “…” You are quite good at comforting people.

Gao Chuanqi sent a master to teach Xie Qingxiao and Xie Guoqiang how to drive. Xie Qingxiao stopped going after two days and recommended Zhang Pengfei to go.

Zhang Pengfei was still on vacation. When he heard about learning to drive, he was very excited and went there happily.

Just ten days passed like this, and the procedures for purchasing the truck were completed, the new truck from the meat processing plant also returned, and the three of them also learned how to drive.

Xie Qingxiao and Xie Guoqiang drove home in the truck that had been washed, repainted and looked about 70% to 80% new!
