Chapter 135
Wang Mengmei held the steering wheel, her whole body tense as if on a string.
Jian Feng was sitting in the passenger seat. He said yes, but actually he quietly tightened his seat belt.
Jian Li was no longer carsick, because she couldn't even think about it the whole time! She squeezed in the middle of the front row, almost leaning half of her body out.
"Slow down, slow down!"
Wang Mengmei's driver's license was issued before the Chinese New Year, but she didn't dare to touch the steering wheel. Lin Hui bought a BMW and invited her to drive it for a few times to experience it. Wang Mengmei was so scared that she waved her hands.
But when she saw Lin Hui steering the car with such confidence and boldness, she felt jealous.
Jian Feng saw through her thoughts, and as soon as the car drove out of the city, he asked her to try it.
"I'll be driving for you."
It's Chinese New Year now, and there aren't many cars on the dusty road, but Wang Mengmei still doesn't dare to drive.
Jian Feng simply drove the car to a slightly winding road, where there were fewer people and cars, and there were trees on both sides.
Wang Mengmei took a deep breath, put the car in gear, and started driving at about 20 to 30 mph. The motorcycles on the road were able to overtake her.
Jian Feng comforted her, "It's okay, let's drive slowly and not rush."
He didn’t realize it when he didn’t have a car, but now that he has one, he realizes how convenient it is.
In the past, I always had to get up early to catch the bus, squeeze with other people, and dared not bring too much stuff with me.
What about now? The gifts for visiting relatives filled half of the car, and the family slept until eight or nine in the morning before setting off leisurely. After leaving the city, there was no need to stop and go, but to drive smoothly all the way.
Most importantly, my daughter no longer suffers from motion sickness.
Half of Jian Li's motion sickness was caused by too many people, and the other half was caused by the stop-and-go traffic on the road.
Now it's fine. The car is moving at a steady speed and the space at the back is spacious enough for Jian Li to even lie down and take a nap.
only……
Jian Li won’t sleep!
She stared straight ahead with full concentration, shouting from time to time.
"Slow down!"
"There's a tree over there!"
Wang Mengmei: “Got it!”
I was very nervous at first, but after this girl disturbed me, I was no longer nervous.
Jian Li was chattering away, more like a newbie than Wang Mengmei.
Wang Mengmei drove more and more smoothly, and her speed increased from thirty to sixty.
Jian Li: "!!! Slow down!"
Wang Mengmei felt the feel of the handle and glanced over: "Look how nervous you are!"
Jian Li felt aggrieved. Who told her to be a bookworm in her previous life?
Although I passed all four tests in one try, I never touched a steering wheel again in the ten years since I got my license...
Wang Mengmei overcame the driving difficulties, and there was an indescribable confidence in her eyes.
The car drove at 60 miles per hour and only slowed down when it reached the entrance of Wangjiazhuang.
Wang Mengmei rolled down the car window and smiled at Wang Shuai who was squatting outside the village entrance.
Wang Shuai: !!!
"Second aunt!"
When did Second Aunt become so... so rich?
Wang Mengmei was wearing a white coat today, with a newly bought gold necklace around her neck, lipstick on her lips, and her hair ends lightly permed. She looked like a modern strong woman on the cover of a magazine.
Wang Shuai couldn't even speak straight.
Jian Li opened the back door of the car, and Wang Shuai was stunned.
Is this his sister?
Jian Li was wearing a pink coat with her hair down. Her hair was a little curly like Jian Feng's. Before going out today, Jian Li pestered Wang Mengmei for a long time before Wang Mengmei allowed her to use a curling iron to fix her hair.
As a result, Jian Li's age went up by several years.
It’s not that this hairstyle makes you look old, but with this hairstyle, combined with your height, if you go out and say you are a college student, people will believe it.
Wang Mengmei was afraid that her daughter would do the same thing when she went to school in the future, so she put away the curling iron when she finished and told her that it was only this time.
But this “only this time” was enough to make Marshal Wang drop his jaw.
Wang Shuai stammered, "Sister, sister...are you going to film a movie?"
Otherwise, how could she be the same as the female stars on TV?
Wang Mengmei called him, "Come on up, Second Aunt will take care of you."
Wang Shuai's eyes lit up, but he looked at the bicycle behind him and said, "...I still have a bicycle."
His father asked him to pick someone up at the village entrance, but he didn't expect that his second aunt would drive back.
This is easy to do. Jian Feng opened the car door and said, "Put your car in the back."
In order to load the goods, the last row of seats in the van had been removed long ago. Now there were various gifts piled in the back, and the bicycle could be stuffed in horizontally on top.
Jian Feng loaded the bicycle onto the car, and seeing that Wang Shuai was really greedy, he sat at the back unconsciously.
"You take the co-pilot seat."
Wang Shuai jumped up and sat in the passenger seat, touching everything and screaming with surprise. He rolled the window up and down, staring at the various buttons in front.
"Second aunt, you are so awesome!"
Second Aunt was the first woman he had ever met who could drive!
This totally subverts the usual impression of Wang Shuai.
Wang Mengmei asked him to fasten his seat belt.
When the car entered the village, Wang Mengmei rolled down the window and stopped to talk to acquaintances whenever she met them.
"Happy New Year, cousin. This car is the one we use to deliver goods."
"No, no, my cousin, please tell me later."
"Uncle San, Happy New Year!"
…
Jian Li whispered in her father's ear: "Look at my mother..."
Return home with glory.
"Isn't she afraid that others will ask her for money?"
Jian Feng smiled and patted his daughter: "Why worry so much? Just enjoy yourself."
If one does not return to his hometown when he is rich and powerful, it is like wearing gorgeous clothes but walking at night.
If you are proud, then be proud of yourself. That's what makes you happy.
As the car drove by, the villagers looked at us with envy and jealousy.
"This is Zhao Chunlan's second daughter, right? Zhao Chunlan is really lucky. Both of her daughters married well."
…
The van stopped at the door of Wang Yuedong's house. Wang Yuedong thought it was someone else's car parked in the wrong place. As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw Wang Mengmei getting out of the driver's seat.
"Second sister?"
Wang Shuai jumped down: "Dad!"
"My second aunt bought a car!"
This was a big deal. For a moment, not only the people sitting in the yard had their eyes fixed on the silver-gray van, but even Wang Yuedong's neighbors were also looking around curiously.
Wang Mengmei stood at the front of the train in an imposing manner, with the five big words "made money this year" written on her forehead.
When Wang Menglan brought the money, Sun Cuifang and Wang Yuexi came out and asked questions all at once.
Ask how much the car cost, how long it takes to drive back, whether you are hungry...
Qian Jinlai also handed Jian Feng a cigarette and pulled him aside to ask if the fuel used in this car was expensive.
Zhao Chunlan was anxious in the yard: "What are you doing?"
No one cares about her anymore, right?
It was not until Sun Cuifang helped her out of the yard that Zhao Chunlan narrowed her gradually cloudy eyes and looked at the car.
Zhao Chunlan: !!!
She was a little confused.
Didn't the second daughter say that she didn't make much money? Didn't they say that they would just do some small business after leaving the post? Didn't they say...
Where did this car come from!
When Zhao Chunlan saw the various gifts in the back seat, she felt terrible.
No... She always thought that the eldest daughter was better than the second daughter, but how come it has become the case that the second daughter is better than the eldest daughter?
Jian Feng took things down from the back seat. He took two items from the gift boxes that didn't sell this time and put them in there. He also picked up some food and oil from the store. There was also milk, biscuits, cereal...
Because it was easier to bring things this year, Wang Mengmei also prepared a lot of things from the store, even a few bags of spicy hot pot base.
The more Zhao Chunlan looked, the more frightened she became. Wang Mengmei and her husband were still talking there. She squeezed in tremblingly, and forced a smile with her nose as the center of her face.
"Mei, Mom prepared some peanuts for you. They are really good peanuts. Remember to take them with you when you leave this time."
Sun Cuifang glanced at her mother-in-law and thought to herself that even after so many years, she still admired her mother-in-law's speed in changing her expression.
It's a blessing that the two sisters have such a good life with such a mother, otherwise, with such a troublesome old woman in the middle, it's hard to say what the relationship between the sisters would be like.
Wang Mengmei smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take it with me when I leave."
Everyone in the room gathered around Wang Mengmei and her car. Soon, Wang Yunyun, Qian Ping and a few others came back and joined in the lively conversation.
Wang Menglan was also ready to make a move.
"I told you to buy a car a long time ago, but your brother-in-law insisted that he wouldn't drive it, saying that driving a car could easily lead to accidents."
There was no money to spend, and Wang Menglan had no other options.
But now that Wang Mengmei was driving, Wang Menglan was also tempted.
Wang Mengmei also encouraged her sister: "It's very easy to get a driver's license. Once you learn it, just drive slowly until you become proficient."
He never mentioned that when he was learning to drive, he was so stressed that he kept touching the steering wheel in his dreams.
Qian Ping also chimed in: "Mom, go and learn. When you've learned it, you can come to school to see me. If you've learned it, I'll learn it too."
Qian Ping is now a junior. She often goes home on weekends, but it is inconvenient every time she goes home. Sometimes she wants to bring something from home, which is even more troublesome. When the seasons change, she can only carry such a big bag back and forth by herself.
If you have a car at home, you won’t have to go through so much trouble.
After Qian Ping said this, Wang Menglan became even more excited.
She is not short of money, she just works in construction. She usually drives a three-wheeled vehicle that burns oil, and it is dusty wherever she goes.
In fact, I should have bought a car a long time ago. A van can carry more than a tricycle and it is protected from wind and rain.
Qian Jinlai doesn't dare to learn how to drive, so she does it!
Having made up her mind, Wang Menglan chased her sister to ask how to apply for a driver's license and how to take the test.
A group of people were having a lively discussion.
Only one person remained silent.
This person is Li Xia.
Li Xia came here early today wearing a new set of clothes that she had specially selected, waiting to tell people that Wang Chengcai and his girlfriend were getting along well, and that both of them had made appointments to meet their parents.
Wang Chengcai is a college student and will be doing an internship in the second half of this year. Li Xia has a good idea. When the time comes, he will go to the woman's place for an internship and then he will have a graduation certificate and a marriage certificate in his hands.
She naturally thought that she would be the center of attention today.
God knows how unbalanced Li Xia felt when she saw that car. She used to be able to persuade herself that these were just small businesses and how could they be as stable as having a job in the government?
But now that Wang Mengmei drove the car out, she was at her wits' end.
Between the stable poor and the nouveau riche, no one can deceive themselves.
Li Xia felt that everyone in the yard was picking on her.
It's just a car. These people were just listening to me talking about Wang Chengcai's girlfriend, but when Wang Mengmei came, they all ran away.
It’s all because of Wang Mengmei!
Flatter the powerful and look down on the weak!
Li Xia's teeth were chattering with anger.
But when Wang Mengmei and her group came in and sat down, she didn't dare show any dissatisfaction.
Jian Li fell behind her mother and couldn't help sighing.
Her second aunt is a person who hates others for what they have and laughs at others for what they don't, but she doesn't dare to really do anything bad to others, and she is always worried about others falling.
It must be this person, looking both timid and mean.
Sure enough, this year Wang Mengmei didn't realize something was wrong until the evening.
Thinking about it carefully, my second brother's wife's weirdness is missing this year.
Every time I came back from previous years, I would always hear some unpleasant words, all in a weird tone. I wouldn't argue with her about it, but it was still unpleasant to hear.
This year, Li Xia was as quiet as a chicken. She only got a little excited when talking about her son's girlfriend. But she was not like before, praising her own family and stepping on others.
This year, Zhao Chunlan did not urge her second daughter and her family to leave like she did in the past. On the contrary, Zhao Chunlan tried hard to keep them and enthusiastically asked them to stay for a few more days, preferably until after the 15th of the lunar year.
Jian Feng poured a basin of water for washing feet. Wang Mengmei and Jian Li washed first. As soon as Jian Li put her feet in, she cried out that they were scalding.
Wang Mengmei stepped on her foot and said, "If you don't move, it won't be hot anymore!"
Jian Li had heard this sentence since she was a child. Wang Mengmei pressed her and burned her feet.
After washing his feet, Jian Feng took advantage of the water used by his wife and daughter to wash their feet, and then splashed the water out.
Just as Wang Mengmei lay down, she heard Zhao Chunlan shouting outside, asking Wang Shuai to fill a few more infusion bottles with hot water and send them over.
"Your second aunt has been afraid of cold feet since she was a child, so one is not enough. Get a few more and give one to your sister."
Wang Mengmei: “…”
"Money is a wonderful thing."
