Li Jiakang has had his car for six years now.
Although it looks a bit old, there is nothing wrong with it.
For Li Chen, it is still acceptable.
It’s no wonder that his proposal did make Sun Xiu and his wife a little tempted.
It’s just that the reasons for being moved are different.
Sun Xiu thought that since he insisted on having a car of his own, it would be better to fulfill his wish, which would save him a lot of money.
As for Li Jiakang, he was tempted simply because he could buy a new car.
The two looked at each other, confirmed their expressions, and then Li Jiakang asked, "How much do you plan to pay?"
Li Chen did not answer, but stretched out his right hand and made a 'one' gesture.
Li Jiakang didn't even think about it and said directly, "Okay, let's do as you say, one hundred yuan."
Li Chen showed an embarrassed expression, "Dad, I meant ten dollars."
Everyone was shocked by his shamelessness.
This bike is not very old, and it can be ridden for another ten or twenty years without any problem.
If I sell it to someone else, one hundred and twenty is easy.
Turns out this guy only wanted to spend ten bucks, this is a joke.
When he came to his senses, Li Jiakang glanced over and said sarcastically, "You're planning to rob it, why are you giving me ten yuan? You should have just not given me a penny and pushed the car away."
Li Chen scratched his head and said, "If you agree, I have no objection."
Li Jiakang:...
Li Xu et al: ...
After a moment of silence, Sun Xiu said, "Third brother, our family has no shortage of industrial coupons, so this money doesn't count. If you really want this car, just give me sixty yuan."
The reason why bicycles retain their value in this era is that it is difficult to accumulate coupons and tickets.
If you buy it with money, it will cost at least dozens of dollars.
Sun Xiu said this because she wanted to have an excuse to reduce the price so that she could take care of Li Chen.
But you can't take care of too much.
Because that would harm the interests of others.
Even if Li Ping and the others didn't care, she couldn't do this.
Li Chen hesitated, "Mom, can't you lower the price a little more?"
"No." Sun Xiu shook his head. "This is the price. Not even a penny less."
Seeing that there was no hope of lowering the price, Li Chen agreed without much thought, "Okay, sixty. I'll go back to the house and get the money for you."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards his room.
When he left the main hall, Li Xu whispered, "Someone must be laughing at the third child, and it's a woman."
"Everyone can see it," Li Mei continued with a smile. "What I'm most curious about now is whether that young woman is married or not."
Previously, Li Ping asked Li Chen if he had ever been laughed at by anyone. Even though he tried his best to deny it, everyone could tell that he was lying.
With Li Chen's personality, he would only keep it secret if a young woman laughed at him.
If it were a man or an older woman, even if they didn't fight, they would definitely quarrel. It's impossible for Li Jiakang and his wife not to know about this.
Sun Xiu pondered and said, "I'll go to the company tomorrow to ask around. When I find out more, I'll come back and tell you."
"Okay." Everyone responded, with gossipy expressions on their faces.
Soon Li Chen came in and handed the money to Sun Xiu.
Sun Xiu counted the money and stuffed it into his pocket. Then he moved on to the next topic, asking Li Ping and the others, "Your grandmother's sixtieth birthday is in two weeks. What are your ideas for the birthday party?"
According to the tradition of celebrating the ninth birthday rather than the tenth, that day was actually Mrs. Sun’s 59th birthday.
Li Ping pondered and replied, "It doesn't matter whether we have any ideas or not. What matters is what grandma thinks and when you plan to tell her about this."
That’s right, as the protagonist of that day, Old Mrs. Sun herself didn’t even know about this incident.
Not only her, to be precise, only Sun Xiu's family and Sun Min's family know about it.
Because this is what the two sisters planned.
"I plan to tell her two days before her birthday and tell her that everything is ready, and she will have to do it then."
As the daughter of Old Lady Sun, Sun Xiu knew her character very well.
If I had told her in advance, she would definitely not agree.
So Sun Xiu planned to execute her first and report her later, leaving her no way to refuse.
Li Xu smacked his lips and said, "You're really not afraid of grandma getting angry."
"What's there to be afraid of? I'm her daughter. Can she really eat me? Besides, celebrating her birthday is a way to show her respect. Even if she's angry, it'll only be for two days at most. She'll be fine after that."
Seeing her so confident, everyone felt relieved. Then Li Mei asked, "Mom, do you want to have a lively family gathering, or do you want to invite some outsiders over?"
"I plan to call your uncle and his family."
"them?"
"Well, everyone of the same generation as your great uncle is called that," Sun Xiu explained.
Hearing this, Li Xu couldn't help but show a speechless expression, "If you invite them all, what will you do when they celebrate their birthdays?"
In Sunjiatan, there are many people of the same age as Captain Sun, and many of them are almost sixty years old.
Sun Xiu is rich and can organize a good birthday party for Old Mrs. Sun.
But other people's family conditions make it difficult to support it.
Some people can't afford to throw even a simple birthday party, let alone a good one.
Because there is a rule in Tang County that if you invite outsiders to a birthday party, you cannot accept gifts, which means that the guests eat and drink for free.
If I didn't have some money, I wouldn't dare to do this.
The most important thing is that if someone who can afford it invites his family members to a birthday banquet, then those who cannot afford it will be embarrassed.
It would be fine if you can think it through, but if you can't, it will be troublesome.
