Du Chen's mother has never had any idea about cars. Now, 212 was parked quietly in the warehouse. Du Chen's mother walked over happily and wanted to take a closer look at the car.
"Lao Du, the car looks pretty good! Look at the paint, it's not damaged at all. It's just that the green color doesn't look good! And isn't this the kind you often see on TV?"
Du Chen's mother complained about the car paint.
"Hey, these cars are all green. I've never seen any other color. Even though no one drives them, they're well maintained. Mi Duan said his driver will start using them every once in a while, and even take them out for a spin after a while."
"I got out of the car this afternoon and it lit up straight away! And I looked at the mileage, it was just over 10,000 kilometers, like new!"
Comrade Lao Du said happily to Du Chen's mother. He hadn't expected the car to be so well maintained. The tires were inflated, the battery was charged, the paint was intact, and the mileage was low!
Du Chen walked around the car and first looked at the exterior. Just like his father said, the car looked very complete from the outside.
"Dad, do you have the car keys now? Open the car and let's take a look inside, check out the engine compartment."
Du Chen turned around and asked his father for the key.
Upon hearing this, Comrade Lao Du took out a key from his pocket and opened the car door.
"Dad, start the car and open the hood."
Comrade Lao Du did not hesitate, and wanted to let his wife feel it too, so he turned the key in the door, and after hearing two clicks, the engine started smoothly. Then, Comrade Lao Du got out of the car and opened the engine cover.
At his current size, it was a bit awkward for Du Chen to peer inside the engine room. He glanced around and saw a small metal bucket next to the car in the warehouse. He didn't know what it was in, so he simply picked it up and stood on top of it to peer into the engine room.
"Dad, the car is in great condition! You can hear the engine making no noise, and the cabin is spotless, with no oil or water leaking anywhere."
Du Chen carefully observed the engine compartment. He stopped pretending and directly evaluated the engine compartment in front of Comrade Lao Du.
"And Dad, look, there aren't any signs of repair on this beam. I think this car is in good condition. We'll go to the repair shop later and check the chassis from the ditch. So far, it looks like it's in good condition and has been well maintained!"
"Chenchen, can you still tell if the engine is good?"
Du Chen's mother curled her lips in disbelief, then looked at Comrade Lao Du, wanting to hear his opinion.
"Wife, my son is right. This car is in really good condition. I haven't even looked at the frame yet. I just listened to the engine. After hearing what my son said, I learned something new."
Comrade Lao Du only knows how to repair cars. No mechanic nowadays has studied the inspection of used cars. Unlike Du Chen's time later, every mechanic had to have some knowledge of used cars, and some repair shops made money by tinkering with used cars.
"Are you serious? Your son is capable of this?"
Du Chen's mother was quite unconvinced.
"Really? I learned a lot about cars from my son..."
Comrade Lao Du said angrily that he felt embarrassed because he had lost face in front of his wife.
"Son, where did you learn all this? I'm telling you, you have to study hard. Don't worry about becoming a mechanic like your dad in the future. It's dirty and tiring, and you won't even be able to find a wife!"
Du Chen's mother saw that this situation was not good! This son is better than his father, and it seems that he will take over the business in the future!
Du Chen's mother is very satisfied with her current life. As for ideals, she doesn't have any ideals at this age. She just has a hope that her family will live better and better, her family will be healthy and safe, and both her sons can get into university.
"Mom, I'm just interested in cars. Besides, being a mechanic isn't bad either. Just wait and see. Our family's income still depends on the repair shop contracted by Dad."
Although Du Chen has no plans to be a mechanic again in this life, it is still good to keep it as a hobby. Moreover, he has a high starting point now, and maybe he can become a big figure in the automotive industry in the future.
"Du Chen, let me tell you, I'm counting on you and your brother to study hard and get into a good university for me. Whether our family can produce a college graduate and bring honor to the family depends on you two brothers!"
"That's right, son, your mother is right! Whether our Du family can produce a college student depends on you two brothers!"
Comrade Lao Du also echoed from the side.
"Okay, Mom and Dad, don't worry!"
"Dad, can we go for a drive?"
To be honest, Du Chen had never taken the 212 bus, but he had heard people talk about industrial waste. But that was later. Now it is good enough to have a car to drive, so why bother asking about its quality?
"No problem, come on, get in the car, let's go out and give it a try!"
Comrade Lao Du also became interested and opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat. Du Chen's mother saw this and opened the passenger seat and got in. Du Chen had no choice but to sit in the back seat.
Comrade Lao Du put the car in gear and stepped on the accelerator, and the car started to move slowly. Feeling the sensation under his butt, Du Chen realized that cars these days are really ordinary!
Du Chen's mother looked out the window excitedly. In her opinion, this car was much more comfortable than the double-row seat that Comrade Lao Du usually drove.
"Lao Du, this car is great!"
"That's not right. It's not as good as a nice car, but it's definitely more comfortable than a van!"
Although he hasn't gotten off the car yet, Comrade Lao Du's proud tone clearly shows that he thinks the car is now in his pocket!
After driving a long circle and going to the repair shop to check the chassis, Comrade Lao Du and Du Chen's mother still felt a little unsatisfied.
"Let's go, Xiao Li, it's time to go home and have dinner!"
Comrade Lao Du invited Xiao Li to go home together.
On the way home.
"How is it, does my wife like it?"
Comrade Lao Du asked his wife expectantly.
"I like it, but..."
Du Chen's mother was still a little hesitant, but as soon as she said that, Comrade Lao Du knew what his wife wanted to say.
"Wife, if you like it, buy it! It's a rare opportunity and the price is right! And you saw the car, it's pretty good, isn't it? Don't miss this opportunity!"
Comrade Lao Du was afraid that his wife would hesitate again, so he directly gave her a bunch of reasons to seduce her.
"Then buy it?"
Du Chen's mother was also moved and asked Comrade Lao Du.
"Then buy it! I'll go ask Mi Duan tomorrow!"
Upon hearing that his wife had finally agreed to buy a car, Comrade Lao Du immediately made the decision, fearing that his wife would go back on her word.
Little Li was stunned as he listened. It seemed like the eldest sister's family had made a fortune! They opened a shop, contracted a repair shop, and now they wanted to buy a car!
After chatting and laughing, they returned to the store.
At this time, Du Bin had been out of school for a while.
"Mom and Dad, Chenchen, where have you been? Why are you back just now?"
"We went to look at the car."
Du Chen said casually.
"What!"
