Two days passed quickly.
For some reason, Chen Dazhuang hasn't come back yet.
The master was both worried and troubled, and announced to others that Da Zhuang had gone to a distant relative's house to pay New Year's greetings.
On the 12th day of the first lunar month, after breakfast, Chen Wang rode his bicycle to Comrade Xiao Xu's home in the town.
Chen Wang was surprised to see a Santana sedan parked at the gate.
There are very few people who can own private cars these days, and only those who can do so are rich or noble.
Xu Tiancheng and his daughter were already waiting for him at home.
After Chen Wang dropped the bicycle off at Comrade Xiao Xu's house, Comrade Xiao Xu locked the door and the three of them got on the bike.
Xu Tiancheng sat in the driver's seat and turned the key to start the car.
"Uncle Xu, this car has been bought for a short time, right?"
Chen Wang, who was sitting in the back, asked with a smile.
"Yes, I asked a friend to buy it for me last year."
Xu Tiancheng smiled and nodded.
“This car is probably not available on the market yet, right?”
"That's right. It's not available for purchase now, but the car should be introduced to the domestic market this year."
“It will definitely be in great demand then.”
Chen Wang smiled and said.
This car was very famous even before he traveled through time. It was the first joint venture sedan to enter the domestic market and the "national god car" that countless people dreamed of in the 1980s and 1990s.
"You know anything about cars?"
Xu Tiancheng drove the car skillfully and glanced at him through the rearview mirror.
Chen Wang smiled and shook his head, saying, "I'm just a small farmer from the mountains. How can I know anything about cars? I just think this car is very cool."
"Hahaha... that's not necessarily true. I always feel that you are very special. The times are changing dramatically. Who knows when you will rise to prominence and become a great figure that I look up to."
"Uncle Xu, don't say that. I don't have such ambitions, nor do I have that ability."
Chen Wang waved his hands hurriedly.
"I'm not talking nonsense. My precious daughter has high standards. The fact that she can become friends with you shows that you have the potential."
Xu Tiancheng said with a smile.
"My dad is right."
Xu Meijuan nodded in agreement with a smile.
"You think too highly of me."
Chen Wang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
We chatted and laughed all the way, and arrived in the city in just over an hour. It was much faster and more comfortable than taking the bus.
"It's still early, shall we find a place to eat?"
Xu Tiancheng made a suggestion.
"Okay, I ate too little this morning, I'm hungry!"
Comrade Xiao Xu smiled and nodded in agreement.
"Then I'll treat you!"
Chen Wang said hurriedly.
"I brought you here, how can I let you treat me?"
"No, no, no. You helped me so much with the leopard skin auction, so it's only right that I treat you to a meal. Please don't fight with me. Make sure I pay for it today."
"Oh, Awang, Dad, you are too hypocritical. It doesn't matter who invites you."
Xu Meijuan complained.
Xu Tiancheng smiled and said nothing more, driving to find a place to eat.
…
…
We ordered four dishes and a soup at a restaurant and the three of us were full.
Chen Wang went to pay the bill in advance on the pretext of going to the restroom.
The cost of living in the city is definitely higher. The meal cost more than eight yuan.
Afterwards, Xu Tiancheng drove the two of them to the auction venue.
The auction was held in a guesthouse, which is what we call a hotel in later generations. It is also one of the top three hotels in the city.
We took the elevator to the fifth floor of the hotel and, led by the waiter, walked into a magnificent banquet hall.
Many people had already arrived in the banquet hall. They were all dressed in fancy clothes, holding red wine, chatting and laughing, waiting for the auction to begin.
Chen Wang looked down at his clothes and felt that they didn't match the atmosphere here.
On the other hand, Xu Tiancheng and his daughter Xu Meijuan had obviously dressed up carefully and were able to blend in perfectly.
"Awang, Xiaojuan, please sit here for a while. I'm going to go say hello to some old friends."
Xu Tiancheng said to the two of them with a smile.
"Okay, go ahead and do your thing, don't worry about us."
Chen Wang nodded hurriedly.
Xu Tiancheng pointed to a waiter not far away and said, "If you need anything, you can call the waiter. Drinks, beverages, or anything to eat are all free."
"OK."
"Then I'll go."
After saying that, Xu Tiancheng walked forward and soon joined the conversation between the two middle-aged men.
Chen Wang looked at Xu Meijuan and asked, "Do you know anyone here? Do you want to go and have a chat? I can be alone here, so that's fine."
"No."
Xu Meijuan smiled and shook her head, explaining, "Since my eldest uncle and second uncle both work in the city, my family does have a lot of acquaintances in the city, but I don't know any of them. When I was a child, I lived with my grandparents in the countryside, and then I went to high school. After graduation, I was arranged to work at the purchasing station in the town over there. So like you, we are all country bumpkins who came to the city."
Chen Wang laughed in silence and said jokingly, "You don't look like a country bumpkin at all. You look more like a rich lady."
"You think I want to wear this? My dad forced me to wear it."
"Really? You don't want to introduce someone to you, do you?"
"Go away, stop talking nonsense. If that's the case, I won't come here."
"Now that you mention it, I think it's more likely."
Chen Wang smiled meaningfully.
"Is this true? No way?"
Xu Meijuan also realized that something was wrong at this time. She frowned and looked at her father not far away.
As luck would have it, a young man just happened to walk over, and after being introduced by another middle-aged man, he greeted Xu Tiancheng with a gentle smile.
"See, it's almost there. Do you know him?"
Chen Wang asked with a smile.
"I don't know a ghost!"
Xu Meijuan rolled her eyes and gritted her teeth, "This stinky dad, I was wondering why he got up so early in the morning and urged me to dress nicely, it turns out he has a lot of ulterior motives."
"It's not easy for your father to do this for you!"
Chen Wang grinned.
"Hey, hey, hey, you're standing over there!"
Xu Meijuan waited for him angrily.
"This is your family's business. Why should I take sides? Look, that guy is looking over here."
As Chen Wang spoke, he waved with a smile.
The young man also smiled and nodded. He was not very handsome, but he gave people a warm and refreshing feeling.
Xu Meijuan folded her arms and turned her head away stubbornly, not looking at the young man.
"Let's take a look! He's a handsome guy, and he looks pretty good."
"Get lost!"
"You can try to get in touch with her. If it's not suitable, then refuse. Don't waste your father's kindness."
"Go ahead and try if you want."
"Please, I already have a baby, and I don't like boys!"
“Puff!”
Xu Meijuan was amused and couldn't help laughing out loud.
Seeing this, the young man not far away smiled even more gently and walked straight towards the two of them.
"Here he comes, here he comes, here he comes with strides!"
Chen Wang suddenly started to use the microphone, with a full sense of rhythm.
"Hahahaha...what the hell are you doing!"
Xu Meijuan was laughing so hard that her body was shaking.
