The car broke down several times along the way, but fortunately the problems were not serious and Qin Huai solved them easily. Yu Zhennan asked him to go home first.
After a while, he took out a stack of money and said, "Brother, I can't take out 500 at the moment, so you can keep these 200. I will find a way to pay you back the rest."
Qin Huai frowned and said, "Brother Yu, you are slapping me in the face. You know where my money comes from. Let alone this little bit, even if I give you all, I won't say anything. Forget about the money. Uncle Zhang can't be rescued for the time being. Auntie is in the provincial capital to see if she can buy a lighter job with money. If it's not enough, just ask."
"You earned this... money through your own hard work. I didn't help you at all, so how can I take this money?"
"Brother Yu, you helped me when I was in the most difficult time, and my family didn't starve to death. You helped me so much, but I didn't even say thank you. We still have a long life ahead of us."
Yu Zhennan was shocked after hearing this. He looked at Qin Huai carefully for a moment and said, "Okay, then I won't be polite with you."
He put the money away, then pulled out a yellow military-issued cotton-padded jacket and said, "New Year's Eve is coming soon. I wasn't too embarrassed to tell you before that your jacket was so torn, but now that we're so close, I'm not afraid you'll get angry. Take this; it'll keep you warm."
"Okay, Brother Yu." He immediately took off his old cotton-padded jacket and put on a new one: "It's really warm."
Qin Huai's familiar look made him very happy. Yu Zhennan said, "I wore this when I was in the army. I have kept it until now. It suits you perfectly."
"Thank you for thinking of me."
"You idiot, you're so happy just because of a cotton-padded jacket. I'll take you home. The New Year is coming soon, and your family must be worried about you."
Qin Huai said, "No need to send me off. I can just walk back by myself."
Yu Zhennan glared and said, "Are you still being polite to me?"
Qin Huai had no choice but to say, "Okay, thank you, Brother Yu."
Qin Huai was still driving. Yu Zhennan suddenly said, "Oh, by the way, I suddenly remembered that the factory is going to scrap a jeep and sell it for scrap metal. If you have time, go take a look. If you can fix it, you can drive it away."
Qin Huai was overjoyed. In this era, cars were a symbol of status, and having a car made it convenient to do anything. In this era, business could not be done and people could only trade supplies secretly. Having a car would increase efficiency by many times and could also prevent a lot of trouble.
The most important thing is that no one dares to bully them in the countryside if they have a car.
"Brother Yu, will there be any trouble?"
"What kind of trouble can it be? It's not like I'm giving it away for free."
"Then let's not go home. Let's go check on the car first."
"You still have a quick temper." Yu Zhennan said with a smile.
Qin Huai smiled awkwardly: "That man doesn't want a car."
It was an imported jeep. The price of a new car would be sky-high, I couldn't even imagine it. Even such an old car was not cheap. It looked really bad from the outside. After opening it and inspecting it for a while, I found that it was impossible to completely repair it, but it was not difficult to make it run again, so I started repairing it on the spot.
Yu Zhennan was not in a hurry. He turned on the light for him and brought him dinner from the factory.
Qin Huai only ate a few bites before starting to repair the car again. The car had not been driven for a long time and had many problems. It took him most of the night to barely start the engine.
Yu Zhennan said: "Your skills are amazing. Many people have repaired this car, but none of them could fix it. You are the only one who can do it."
Qin Huai said, "It's not fixed yet. There are still some problems that need to be fixed. I like this car very much. I want it."
Although the car was going to be scrapped, it still cost 1,500 yuan. Two days later, when Qin Huai drove his own car on the road, he felt like he was dreaming.
Even in his previous life, he didn't own a car until he was thirty years old.
Nowadays, even commune cadres don’t have cars, they are only available at the county level and above, but I can actually own one.
After driving the jeep on the road, his heart slowly cooled down. Damn it, he made an impulse purchase.
The car alone cost fifteen hundred yuan, and the parts cost more than three hundred yuan. Add the nine hundred and fifty yuan he gave to Maggie Cheung's family, and you have two thousand seven hundred yuan. Adding the miscellaneous expenses at home, you have already spent three thousand one.
As a result, only 3,800 yuan was left from the 6,900 yuan earned from selling the soap.
Making money has become urgent again.
As the car entered the village, everyone in the village said, "Of course, they're looking for Qin Huai again."
Seeing that the car was indeed parked at the gate of Qinhuai, he said again: "See, I said it."
Everyone gathered around to watch the fun, and when they saw that he was the only one coming back, they asked, "Qin Huai, what's your car?"
"The car belongs to my relative's company. What? Do you think it's mine? You're so bold."
He didn't dare to say it was his, so he could only push the blame onto Yu Zhennan.
Someone else said, "Qin Huai, you've already put on your new cotton-padded jacket, it's a military jacket."
"Yes, a relative gave it to me."
"You are so lucky, why don't I have such good relatives?"
Qin Xiaomi happily ran back from a distance and called him. Qin Huai said, "Have you been obedient at home these days?"
The little girl said depressedly: "You treat me like a child all day long."
Qin Huai rubbed her hair, and she became happy: "Brother, you won't feel cold anymore with your new cotton-padded jacket, right?"
"Xiaomi must be caring about me. I won't be cold with such thick clothes."
"That's great." Qin Xiaomi touched her cotton jacket and asked again, "You're not leaving, are you? The New Year is almost here."
"There's something else. I came back to tell you because I didn't want you to worry."
Old man Qin walked over, smoking his old pipe and smiling, and said, "Qin Huai, go and do your own thing. I'm at home."
The old man kept silent when Qin Huai took the money in front of him. Qin Huai told him, "Grandpa, I need the money urgently."
"Don't tell me, I know you know it."
