Chapter 189 The First Month
When Bai Yichen opened Anxin's driver's door, he saw Anxin holding the key, trying to start the truck over and over again.
So, the man couldn't help but twitch his mouth, looked at the woman who was turning the car key seriously, and asked.
"An Xin, what are you doing?"
The car's engine was flooded, so it was normal for it to fail to start. Couldn't this woman just step on the clutch, step back on the accelerator, and try starting the engine again?
Why do you keep looking down at the car key and starting the engine?
An Xin lowered her head and turned the car key hard to start the car, but when she saw that the truck still wouldn't start, she said unhappily.
"This car can't start, don't you see?"
Really, I thought this man was so profound before, but I couldn’t see that he was just this capable.
Bai Yichen: “…”
Feeling neglected, is he the kind of person who can't seem to light a fire?
I knew that this woman couldn't light the fire, so I asked her about the steps. It was obvious that there was something wrong with the steps, right? But people just said she was trying to start a fire.
So, a man sighed helplessly in his heart and said to An Xin.
"You sit in the passenger seat first, I'll get in and try to start the engine."
An Xin stopped what she was doing, turned her head and looked at the man who had swiftly come to her side, and asked in confusion.
"you?"
Is it possible that this car won't start? Any other tips? Anxin didn't understand.
But seeing that the man looked serious, An Xin didn't hesitate any more. She quickly sat down in the passenger seat next to her, folded her arms and waited to see how much better Bai Yichen's skills were than hers.
Bai Yichen sat in the driver's seat, stepped on the clutch, then stepped on the accelerator, and after repeating it several times, he pressed and twisted the operating keys on the car.
In short, in An Xin's opinion, after Bai Yichen deliberately pretended to be cool in front of her, Bai Yichen finally got to the point and took the car keys to start the car.
"boom……"
It's true, the truck that had been unable to start suddenly started, and the roar of the engine caused the entire cab to shake slightly.
An Xin looked at the man next to her speechlessly, and then saw Bai Yichen turn his head and speak to her seriously.
"It's true that water has entered your car's engine, so when we start the car, we can't just start it right away. We have to move other parts first so that these parts can be run-in, so that it will be easier to start the car."
An Xin: “…”
So it turns out that you drive better than I do.
Well, seeing that Bai Yichen successfully started his car, An Xin tacitly agreed in her heart that Bai Yichen's driving skills were indeed better than hers.
Who made me start the car right away by taking the car key? There's not even any pretentious moves!
Next, An Xin and Bai Yichen, one in front and one behind, drove the two trucks to Xie Laoer's repair shop. Xie Laoer stood at the door of the repair shop, with a cigarette slanted between his lips. He folded his hands and looked at the young couple who jumped out of the brand new cars one after another. He couldn't help but smacked his lips.
"I didn't expect you two to coordinate your movements when getting out of the car. You really look like a couple."
An Xin: “…”
Since when did the coordinated movements when getting off the car show that they look like a couple? Have the standards for judging how couples look like changed in this world? How come she doesn't know?
Just when An Xin was feeling frustrated and complaining in her heart, Bai Yichen had already spoken.
"Xie Lao Er, these two cars are for you today. Hurry up and I'll send you two more cars tomorrow. Anyway, you have to get the remaining seven cars done within three days at the latest."
Just focus on these cars, get them done as soon as possible, and make money early. You can't just leave them there.
Xie Laoer walked around the two brand new trucks and nodded.
"Okay, I'll work overtime tonight and fix your two cars."
Anyway, he is alone and has nothing to do. He can't sleep at night, so he might as well work overtime to fix the other person's truck. He can also make a good impression, because the other person is his good friend.
After getting a positive answer, Bai Yichen threw the car keys in the direction of Xie Laoer and said slowly.
"Okay, then I'll leave these two cars to you. We'll go back first."
Today is the first day that Anxin's younger brother and sister report to school. Anxin has been absent-minded the whole day, so he has to take Anxin to check on them.
So don't waste time here.
Xie Laoer's big hands covered with thin calluses accurately caught the car keys thrown by Bai Yichen. He looked at the two people who had turned around and said dissatisfiedly.
"Hey, you guys are just leaving like this?"
Where is the roast chicken and good wine that he promised him for lunch?
He just left like that, leaving a mechanic with an empty stomach and thinking about other people's empty promises!
Is this something a human would do? For the first time, Xie Laoer felt that his friendship with Bai Yichen was in vain.
An Xin turned her head and saw Xie Laoer looking miserable. She couldn't help laughing and said to the man next to her.
"You're just leaving like that. Have you forgotten the roast chicken and good wine you promised me this morning?"
Really, since she has agreed to treat him to a drink, if she breaks the promise, what if Xie Laoer holds a grudge and doesn't get her a good car, and then the car breaks down when it's on the road, who will be responsible?
When Bai Yichen heard An Xin mention this, a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face, and then he spoke without blushing or breathing heavily.
"Oh, you're talking about this, Xie Lao Er, I have something to do today, how about we do it another day?"
It's true that you agreed to treat me to a meal, and it's true that you agreed to treat me to roast chicken and good wine, but you didn't say that I have to go today. Isn't this something wrong? We can eat, drink and do that another day.
Xie Lao Er: “…”
I feel like I've been ripped off.
An Xin, who was standing by, noticed the disappointment in Xie Lao Er's eyes, turned around and said in a clear voice.
"No need to wait, let's do it today!"
After saying that, without caring about the two people's reactions, she got into her truck and took out two bottles of Moutai from her portable storage in a corner where no one could see. Then she jumped out of the car and handed the wine directly to Xie Laoer.
"Here, Master Xie, this is the good wine I promised you. Let's go to the roast chicken shop and order two roast chickens for you. I'll have someone deliver them to you. Is that okay?"
They did have something to do today, and they had to rush back to pick up their younger siblings from school. Since they couldn't eat with others, it was okay for them to eat by themselves. There was no rule that said takeout couldn't be delivered. Of course, the term 'takeout' didn't exist in those days.
Wouldn't it be fine if you just give the roast chicken shop a little more money for travel expenses and have someone deliver it to you?
Xie Laoer, who was originally feeling disappointed, saw the two bottles of good wine handed to him, and heard An Xin ask someone to send him a roast chicken. His bitter face immediately turned into a smile.
"Hehehe, that's more like it. My sister-in-law is really loyal."
An Xin patted the other person's shoulder generously and said, "Brother."
"How could that be possible? We have always been very loyal to our friends!"
After hanging out with gangsters for a long time, An Xin occasionally develops some brotherhood feelings, but this does not hinder her determination to win over Xie Lao Er.
Now that the fleet has been formed, Xie Laoer will be needed in many places in the future. This guy cannot be offended for the time being and he has to be coaxed and served.
Bai Yichen on the side looked at An Xin and Xie Laoer speechlessly. One moment they were chatting and laughing, and then his face couldn't help but turn as dark as the bottom of a pot.
It seems that his young wife has done a lot of work in dealing with human relationships and building connections!
The action was so familiar, it was so easy to win people over. Wait, just win people over, why did An Xin put her hand on Xie Laoer's shoulder?
Then, a man spoke in a cold voice.
"An Xin, take your hand away, we should go back."
Really, An Xin's white and tender little hand hasn't even been placed on his shoulder, so why is she patting the shoulder of Xie Laoer, that unromantic old man?
Bai Yichen said that he was very depressed, as if something was blocking his heart, which made him feel very sour.
An Xin: “…”
Why does it feel like her man is angry?
Xie Lao Er: “…”
What's wrong with this man Bai Yichen? Suddenly I felt that this guy was emitting a chill. Didn’t he just accept two bottles of good wine from his wife and the two roast chickens he said he would send? Is it necessary to be so angry?
Why didn't I notice that this man was so stingy on weekdays?
While the two were stunned, Bai Yichen had already walked over quickly, took An Xin's hand from Xie Laoer's shoulder, held it in his own hand, and said to Xie Laoer.
"Remember to enjoy your two bottles of good wine after eating the roast chicken, and fix the car for me tonight."
Otherwise, just put your hand on Xie Lao Er just now. For that extraordinary behavior, he might have someone to teach Xie Lao Er a lesson tomorrow.
Xie Lao Er: “…”
Why do I feel like Bai Yichen was gritting his teeth when he said this? It seems as if he is having his last meal before execution. This man is really incomprehensible.
I drank two bottles of your good wine and ate two of your roast chickens, what's wrong with that? Isn't this also free repair for you?
Xie Laoer was immediately depressed. It seemed that the next time Bai Yichen came over, he would have to say that good friends are friends, but the car repair fees are repair fees and he still had to pay.
Just like that, Bai Yichen took An Xin away. The two quickly went to school and picked up An Wen, An Wu, and An Yang, three siblings. When they returned home, Chen Hongyan had already put hot meals on the table.
The family had a lively dinner. An Xin went to check on her younger brothers and sisters' rooms to make sure that their beds, bedding, school supplies, learning tools and pocket money were all prepared for them. After giving them some instructions, she and Bai Yichen took a jeep back to the exploration team.
As for Chen Hongyan, An Xin did not bring her back to the village because her younger brothers and sisters were still young. On the first day, he was worried about Chen Hongyan living alone in the provincial capital, so he asked her to stay in the city to take care of her younger brothers and sisters. An Xin would go to the provincial capital the next day and then bring her back.
The next day, An Xin got up as usual, prepared lunch for Bai Yichen and went to the provincial capital. She then handed over the two brand new cars to Xie Laoer, and checked the two cars delivered yesterday. After making sure that the boy had really repaired the cars for her, she took the cars back to the warehouse.
Next, An Xin went to Kaizi and rented a taxi. After driving the taxi for a whole morning, she stopped this guy before Cui Yusong got off work.
Looking at the taxi stopped in front of him, Cui Yusong whistled in a good mood and said to An Xin who was in the driver's seat.
"An Xin, long time no see. Are you so enthusiastic that you want to pick me up from get off work? You should have realized this a long time ago."
After saying this, he opened the passenger door and got into the taxi without paying attention to everyone's gazes. As for the car he parked in the provincial government office area, Cui Yusong pretended not to see it.
Since An Xin drove a taxi to see him, there must be something going on, otherwise this little girl would not come to see him for no reason.
Compared to the teasing tone in Cui Yusong's voice, An Xin did not pursue the matter and simply started the car and drove away.
Only after the taxi had gone far away did Zhang Fan come out from the dark corner of the stairwell of the provincial government office building. He stared at the departing taxi with eyes as cold and long as a poisonous snake's.
Why does he have this illusion? Ever since An Xin married Bai Yichen, she seemed to have changed completely. Not only was she generous, she also used a large sum of money to buy the house that their family had their eyes on, and now she can even drive a taxi.
Is this really the country woman he knew? Or what did An Xin experience during the time she was away?
Zhang Fan felt uneasy.
On the other side, An Xin was driving the car skillfully while turning her head to chat with Cui Yusong.
"Is Mr. Cui in good health recently?"
Don’t ask Anxin why she suddenly became concerned about Mr. Cui’s health? This is because she had bought the car so long ago, and Mr. Cui hadn't asked anyone to contact her to give her the two waybills that he had promised to give her.
Her car wasn't repaired and the driver wasn't there, but that didn't mean she couldn't receive the shipping order.
Therefore, An Xin couldn't wait any longer today. She decided to take the initiative and go to Mr. Cui to test the waters and see whether the old man would give her the shipping bill that he promised to give her.
Her car and people cannot be idle. They are the ones that make money. Once they are idle, she will have no money to earn.
Cui Yusong stared at the fleeting scenery outside the window without looking back, and said playfully.
"What's the matter? Why are you suddenly concerned about our old man's health? I don't see you being so kind-hearted on weekdays."
As the saying goes, there is no gain without pain. An Xin suddenly became concerned about the health of their old man. Why did he feel that there was something fishy about it? This feeling makes people feel creepy.
Could it be that An Xin has set her eyes on something from the Cui family again?
Meeting Cui Yusong's gaze, An Xin continued to talk nonsense without blushing or beating her heart.
"What are you thinking about? You've bought this car for a long time, but you haven't paid off the first month's loan yet? I'm coming to pick you up today, and I'll go find Mr. Cui and give him the fifteen thousand yuan for the first month's loan."
