After saying hello to his roommates, Chen Ming drove his cousin towards the school gate.
The roommates who stayed behind looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Is this Mingzi's sister?" The person who asked the question saw Xu Manman for the first time today.
"Yes, it's her." It was Lu Wei who replied.
"Mingzi is amazing. Just now, I heard that he would have bicycles soon, one for each of us. Haha, this family is really extraordinary."
Nowadays, it is very good for a family to have a bicycle, and it is really rare for each child to have one. Moreover, from Chen Ming's daily food, clothing and other expenses, it can be seen that this guy has a good family background.
No matter what Chen Ming's roommate thought, Chen Ming rode his bike all the way out of the school gate and turned to the gate of the courtyard according to Xu Manman's instructions.
Xu Manman patted Chen Ming on the back and said, "Cousin, this is it, stop."
Chen Ming braked and supported himself with his long legs. Xu Manman jumped out of the back seat and walked forward to knock on the door.
Soon, the all-round Jin, who pretended to be calm on the outside, opened the door and said, "Xu, you are here."
"Um."
Xiao Jin opened the two courtyard doors wide to make it easier for Chen Ming to push the car in. "Come in first."
Chen Ming saw that the person who opened the door was a tall man, and subconsciously began to put up his sister-control anti-wolf radar, but he didn't react for a while.
Xu Manman turned around and saw Chen Ming staring at Xiao Jin motionlessly. She thought to herself that something was wrong and went forward to pull Chen Ming. "Cousin, go in first. I'll explain to you later."
Chen Ming glanced at his cousin who looked frank, then looked at Xiao Jin who looked peaceful on the other side, frowned, and knew that the alley was not a place to talk, so he pushed the cart into the yard obediently.
After parking the car in the corner of the yard, Chen Ming crossed his arms and looked at his cousin. "What's going on? Why are you here to pick up the car? How did you two know each other?"
Regarding this problem, Xu Manman and Tongzi had already discussed a solution. "I went out to buy groceries yesterday and accidentally knocked over Mr. Jin's bag of fruit. So I picked it up for him and sent it back.
I saw two bicycles in his yard, and when I asked, I learned that his friend was moving and couldn't take the two bicycles with him, so he left them with him to see if he could find someone to deal with them.
"When I heard this, I thought it was like a pillow for me when I was sleepy. I didn't have to go find someone to exchange bicycle tickets. What's more, they happened to be a 28 and a 26. The most important thing is that the price of second-hand ones is still cheap. The two together only cost 160 yuan, and they are 90% new. This is a great bargain. I paid for them immediately.
Yesterday, time was limited, so I could only ride one back first. I’m bringing the other one here for you to pick up today.”
After Xu Manman finished speaking, she pointed to the 28-inch bicycle under the jujube tree and showed it to her cousin.
There are very few men who don't love cars, and Chen Ming is no exception. He was very excited when he saw the 28-inch truck that would soon belong to him, which looked like a brand new one.
But he was still rational. He pulled Xu Manman away from Xiao Jin's sight and said in a deep voice, "You are helping someone pick up something, how can you send it home? You are a grown man, and you don't know anything about it. How dare you do that? What if you meet a bad guy?"
Xu Manman chuckled, "Mr. Jin isn't a bad guy, is he? I've always had a pretty good intuition about this kind of thing. Besides, if I hadn't come yesterday, I wouldn't have gotten this kind of advantage."
"You can only know a person's face but not his heart. How can you be so sure of your intuition? Next time you encounter something like this, don't get close to it."
Xu Manman nodded, "Then...this car?"
"The money has been paid, so of course I'm taking it back." After Chen Ming finished speaking, he turned and walked towards Xiao Jin on the other side of the yard. "I'm sorry, Mr. Jin, my cousin is reckless. I only found out about this after I came here."
Xiao Jin smiled gently, "It's okay. Your sister has helped me solve the problem this time. Although my friend entrusted the car to me, I rarely interact with people and I don't know how to handle it right now. So, classmate Xu has done me a favor this time."
Hearing Xiao Jin say this, Chen Ming had a much better impression of the person in front of him. The two began to exchange pleasantries. When he learned that Xiao Jin had been to Hai City some time ago, they had many more common topics.
"To be honest, my ancestors had quite a bit of wealth. A few years ago, they lived in seclusion in the mountains to avoid disasters. Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Just as the situation was improving, the elders in my family passed away one after another. I only left the mountains last year. This time I went to Haishi, and it was also because of the elders' dying wishes. I returned to my hometown to take another look."
Chen Ming sighed when he heard this. Coupled with the upbringing and talent revealed in Xiao Jin's conversation, Chen Ming felt that he had met him too late.
