How well is a car maintained? Besides looking clean, you should also check if it's difficult to start after being idle for a long time.
Qin Wenju had already found a skilled mentor in advance.
The mechanic installed the battery, added oil and hot water to the car, and then started the car by pressing the ignition switch.
Holy crap! That's impressive! In this freezing weather, and after the car has been parked for so long, it started right away?
When did Russian cars become so powerful?
"I just remembered, can you drive?" Qin Wenju suddenly asked.
If this guy can't drive, then all his work has been for nothing!
"What do you mean by being able to drive? I'm an experienced driver, I just don't have a driver's license."
Qin Wenju looked at her suspiciously: "Don't brag! When did you learn to drive? You call yourself an experienced driver! Take me for a spin first so I can see if you really know how or not?"
"What if the traffic police catch you?"
"As long as you don't run red lights, almost no one will bother you on the street."
"So I can believe you?"
Qin Wenju drives around the city every day, so he must know a lot about traffic police matters; otherwise, he wouldn't have said something like that.
Liang Liang then drove Qin Wenju around the city.
Of course, it wasn't just idle; he went to a general store and bought over a thousand yuan worth of firecrackers, along with several cartons of cigarettes and several cases of liquor.
This wandering around took up the whole morning.
When does your business open?
Why are you asking this?
"A few farmers from our village have formed a folk music band. They're coming to wish you a Happy New Year and hope you prosper!"
Qin Wenju stared at Liang Liang for a minute.
"You've formed another band?"
"Can't you understand Mandarin? I'm not talking about the folk music band organized by a few farmers in our village, it has nothing to do with me."
"Really, this has nothing to do with you?"
"certainly!"
"Then there's no need for them to come. They're just here to ask for money. It's none of your business, so why would they come?"
It seems like they've shot themselves in the foot.
"I'm just providing technical guidance. It's none of my business whether you pay me or share the profits. I don't want their money."
"Take my money and pretend to be a good person."
"What are you saying? I'm just here to wish you a Happy New Year. Who knows, you might make a fortune next year, comrade! Don't worry about small gains right now. You need to think long-term!"
Qin Wenju sighed, "Then come on! How much will I pay?"
"Too little is definitely not presentable. Wouldn't that be embarrassing for you, Boss Qin? It should be at least two or three thousand!"
"How much!" Qin Wenju's voice suddenly rose.
"Why are you shouting so loudly? You have three physical businesses now, right? Oriental Game Center, Oriental Hotel, Oriental Dance Hall, each of them costs at least a thousand!"
"Five hundred! Not a penny more!"
"Five hundred is too little. It will not only embarrass you, but also slap me in the face."
"Heh! You're bragging in front of them again."
"Heh heh! Poor peasant! Giving you a couple more won't kill you or make you poor. Money is just an external thing; you can't take it with you when you die. What if one day..."
"Stop right there! You heartless little devil, you're already cursing me. Add another five hundred, that's the most I can offer."
"What if I sing 'Gong Xi Fa Cai' again?"
"Gong Xi Fa Cai? What song is that? I've never heard you sing it!"
"I can sing any song I want."
"If you sing live, I'll add another thousand."
"Besides you, please contact a few more organizations for us, the more the better."
"You're shameless, aren't you? I'm not your band's manager."
That's a bit too much. You come to my business to wish me a Happy New Year, and I'm already giving you money, but I'm also helping you get business.
Liang Liang laughed heartily, knowing that Qin Wenju would definitely help.
"Then you'll have to come again before the New Year."
What are we here for? What else could we be here for!
"It's already the New Year, why are you thinking about such useless things? It's not appropriate to do that kind of thing during the New Year. I'm not coming over before the New Year, and I mean it this time."
Qin Wenju thought about it and it seemed to make sense, so she didn't insist anymore.
Qin Wenju went to the amusement park, which was open during the Spring Festival and had a special meeting held there.
The Oriental Hotel will remain closed throughout the entire first month of the lunar calendar.
In the 1990s, hotels were basically closed for the entire first month of the lunar calendar after the Lunar New Year because no one would come in to eat.
The Oriental Dance Hall opened on the eighth day of the first lunar month.
The folk music band's visit to offer New Year's greetings was scheduled for the eighth day of the first lunar month.
The sixth and eighth days of the first lunar month are the opening days for businesses. If Qin Wenju is truly committed to making the connection, the family business will have no problem.
However, they won't give too much money; four hundred is the maximum.
The issues in the city have been basically resolved.
Traffic police in the city finish their shift at 11 a.m. and start work again at 1 p.m.
During this period, there were no traffic police in charge, either inside or outside the city.
That's how the small town of Yahe is.
When Liang Liang saw that it was 11:15, he said goodbye to Qin Wenju and drove back to Liangshui Bay while there were no traffic police on the road.
When Liang Liang's mother saw him drive back in a car, she was surprised again.
This son is unacceptable; he's going to fly to the heavens!
Liang Feng and Liang Qiuqiu immediately got into the car, determined to go for a drive and have some fun.
Where are you going if you haven't taken anything out of the car?
When Liang Liang's mother saw that he had bought so many firecrackers, she started nagging him again.
It means that spending so much money just to hear a sound and that's it is wasteful and unforgivable.
Whether you forgive me or not, the money has already been bought back, so what's the point of saying those things now?
Since we're going out for a walk, the whole family should go out for a walk.
But her mother resolutely refused to go, saying she wanted to stay home and look after the house.
With so many valuable things in the house, she certainly couldn't leave; what if they got lost?
If she didn't want to go, fine, but Liang Liang dragged his father, younger brother, and younger sister on a ride along the country road leading to Black Island.
Liang Feng and Liang Qiuqiu were so happy they couldn't stop smiling.
This time I finally got to ride in a car.
It was also the first time in his life that Liang Bentang had ridden in a car. He had a smile on his face and tears welling up in his eyes.
When Liang Liang got home, Xu Mei was already waiting for him with her guitar on her back.
Xu Mei watched Liang Liang drive a car without blinking, and hurriedly took the bicycle home.
She knew that she wouldn't have to endure the cold when she went to Dapuzi again.
After lunch, Liang Liang took Xu Mei to Gao Xing's house in Dapuzi.
I'm so glad to see that this guy rode a 28-inch bicycle yesterday and changed all four wheels today. Is he doing magic?
After all the members of the folk music band arrived, they first rehearsed yesterday's "The Fake Monk".
Liang Liang was worried that they had forgotten.
After rehearsing "The Fake Monk" was finished, Liang Liang brought out the other two pieces as well.
One guzheng solo and one pipa solo.
Once they have mastered these two pieces, they will rehearse "Gong Xi Fa Cai" (Wishing You Prosperity).
This tune is a must-have for New Year's greetings; it's the only one that can earn you a large sum of money in tips.
However, the lyrics of Yuan Ge are too Hong Kong-style and not suitable for use in mainland China, so they need to be revised.
This song is meant to be sung, so the lyrics are very important.
