Chapter 240 Picking up the car



On November 20th, it snowed in Beijing.

The snow was not heavy. It started in the afternoon and lasted until school was over. There was a thin layer of snow on the ground.

Yang Zhaozhao saw the snow and said with a smile, "Let's go back to eat hot pot tonight. We'll go pick up Grandpa, Xiaoxiao, and Xiaoxiao's grandfather."

Li Yiling praised.

The snow made the road slippery, and the three-wheeled motorcycle drove slowly. When they arrived at Gu's house, the old man was preparing to cook. When he saw them coming, he was stunned for a moment: "Why are you here at this time?"

"We'll have hotpot tonight and pick up our grandparents to eat together." Yang Zhaozhao got out of the car and put the warm clothes and big cotton shoes for Mr. Gu in the house.

They also gave me tea and wine, both of which were taken from the space.

"These shoes are nice. They won't keep you cold when it snows." Old Man Gu looked at Yang Zhaozhao as she was carrying things one after another and called her, "We're not moving. You don't need all these by yourself."

"Keep it." Yang Zhaozhao took out a can of calcium-supplemented milk powder: "Remember to drink this before going to bed every day. It replenishes calcium."

"Look at how much you spend." Old Master Gu felt sorry for the money, but he also felt warm in his heart. He didn't enjoy the blessing of his daughter, but the blessing of his granddaughter made his eyes warm.

"Grandpa, if you feel embarrassed, I would like to trouble you to keep an eye on it for me. If any Siheyuan makes a move, no matter how big or small, please tell me."

"You want to buy the Siheyuan?" Old Man Gu said angrily, "Didn't Grandpa say that when I'm gone, half of this courtyard will be yours?"

"Grandpa, I bought the Siheyuan not just to live in, but as an investment. Let me tell you in secret, these Siheyuans will be valuable in the future, so it's not a loss to buy them cheaply now."

"What are these junk worth? Nowadays, people are happy to live in those company houses, where they have bathrooms and kitchens." Mr. Gu thinks the courtyard houses are not good because he has to go to the toilet to use them.

The kitchen is also inconvenient, but in short, he has gotten used to it after living there for so many years.

Young people like the houses built by him.

Being watched eagerly by Yang Zhaozhao, what could Old Master Gu do? He certainly wouldn't let her down: "Alright, tomorrow, go door to door and say hello. If anyone wants to sell a Siheyuan, be the first to tell me."

"Thank you, Grandpa!" Yang Zhaozhao smiled happily.

There are no middlemen these days, so if something is sold, the neighbors will know first and then spread the news, so getting the news is the most important thing.

Hotpot is more lively when there are more people. After Gu Jiayuan came back, he asked and found out that his grandfather had been taken to eat hotpot. Without saying a word, he rode his bicycle and went to join in the fun, not caring about the slippery snow and cold weather.

Looking at them eating enthusiastically, Gu Jiayuan angrily punched Li Yiling: "How rude! You ate alone without even calling me!"

"I'm worried you'll come back late." Li Yiling was not angry even after being beaten. He prepared bowls and chopsticks for him, took out a box of mutton rolls, and got some beer.

Old Man Gu and Little Grandpa were drinking Maotai and eating peanuts, and the two old men had endless things to talk about.

Yang Zhaozhao ordered fish balls, beef balls, pork belly and duck intestines, and was very satisfied with the meal.

Snowy days are perfect for hotpot.

Because it was cold, business at the barbecue stall had dropped a lot. Gu San and the others had already come out, and seeing that there was not much business, they said they wanted to take a break.

After Yang Zhaozhao found out, he prepared a shed for them. Together with Li Yiling, they built one at noon, and they built the rest by themselves.

With the help of plastic film to keep out the cold, the barbecue stalls continue to operate, but this winter the main attraction is hot pot. The small hot pots in copper stoves have attracted many nearby residents.

Some people feel it is too cold, and the elderly and children are unwilling to go out to eat, so they pack up the food and go home to eat hot pot by themselves. The business is surprisingly no worse than barbecue in the summer.

Yang Zhaozhao received a call asking her to pick up the car, and Yang Zhaozhao and Li Yiling took time to go.

A red Santana drove out, hung with red cloth and set off firecrackers. Yang Zhaozhao got in the car and tried it out. The car was pretty good, both retro and fashionable.

Yang Zhaozhao drove Li Yiling out for a ride, and also went to find Lin Xiaofang and the others, and made an appointment to have hotpot with them to celebrate her car purchase.

When Lin Xiaofang heard that Santana cost 180,000, she was secretly shocked.

I wonder how much money I have to sell to buy a car!

Those who drive cars must be rich.

Yang Zhaozhao doesn’t have many friends, so he invited some friends to come together. There were three tables in total. Everyone liked the red car, and some were holding their babies or standing in front of the car to take pictures.

Yang Zhaozhao also asked Li Yiling to take a photo of her and the old man, with Old Man Gu sitting in the passenger seat.

When Mr. Gu got in the car, he asked, "Have you passed the driving test?"

"I can drive!" Yang Zhaozhao answered as a matter of course, but received a slap from Old Man Gu: "Stop kidding, stop the car, give me the keys, I'm going to take the driver's license test tomorrow."

Yang Zhaozhao, who was only handsome for three seconds, felt depressed.

The next day, Yang Zhaozhao obediently went to take the driving test with Li Yiling. They were both experienced drivers, so getting the license was easy for them. Yang Zhaozhao took the driver's license to the old man to get the car keys.

Yang Zhaozhao was also scolded by the old man for being careless.

It's winter now, and the supermarket's melon seeds, peanuts, candies, winter boots, and big cotton shoes are selling very well.

Cabbage, potatoes and green onions also sell well.

Other vegetables also sell well. Many people who eat hot pot will come to the supermarket to buy vegetables and hot pot side dishes such as lamb rolls.

Foreigners also like to come here. The things in the supermarket are more abundant than those in the vegetable market, and chocolate sells better.

With the car, Yang Zhaozhao and his friends can travel more conveniently.

On the first day of driving to school, many people saw Yang Zhaozhao getting out of the driver's seat and thought they were seeing things.

Soon after, Li Yiling also got out of the car, carried her schoolbag, adjusted her apron, and warmed her hands. They looked so affectionate that many people were envious.

They looked at the red Santana, a car branded by him, and knew it was bought by him.

Someone saw them and asked, "Yang Zhaozhao, did you buy a car?"

"I bought it." Yang Zhaozhao nodded with a smile.

They were curious about the price: "How much is it? I heard it costs hundreds of thousands. How is your supermarket making so much money?"

Yang Zhaozhao smiled: "It's okay, class is about to start, I'll leave first."

Yang Zhaozhao didn't say much, for fear that they would feel uncomfortable if she told them the price. She was indeed quite rich and would become even richer in the future, but she didn't want them to have a hatred towards the rich.

When Xu Linjun drove over, he heard Ting Xue pointing at the car next to him and saying, "It looks like the school beauty's car. She really knows how to make money."

"What do you mean by making money? I heard that Li Yiling's family is well-off, and his grandfather is the old man."

"So, you still rely on men?"

"What do you think?"

Xu Linjun frowned and lectured them coldly, "Why are you still here during class? Which department are you from? Who taught you to spread rumors and stir up trouble behind people's backs?"

The three girls were so scared that they ran away, not daring to say which department they were from.

Xu Linjun did not pursue the matter, his eyes fell on the red Santana, thinking that this color really suited her.

Looking at his Crown again, Xu Linjun felt like changing his car. Santana seemed pretty good.

As soon as Xu Linjun left, Yang Taotao packed up, put on a red scarf and went out. She looked at the bus route and took the bus to Tsinghua University.

Hearing that there was a topic discussion tomorrow, Yang Taotao asked around and found out that there were two female students.

Yang Taotao suspected that the one who shamelessly pursued Xu Linjun was one of the two girls, or perhaps both of them had that idea.

Yang Taotao had to meet them and let them know that there was still a Yang Taotao at home. They should not try to snatch her away and it would be better for them to give up.

When they arrived at school, Yang Taotao asked Xu Linyun which classroom he was in.

Everyone knew that Xu Linjun was a famous professor in the school. He told Yang Taotao the location of the teaching building. When she went to the teaching building, she saw Xu Linjun surrounded by a group of girls.

Yang Taotao was so angry that she wanted to tear their faces apart. What a shameless bunch of girls, actually trying to snatch a man from her.

When she was about to go find trouble, she heard Yang Zhaozhao's voice. She was so scared that she quickly covered her face with her apron, not daring to be recognized by Yang Zhaozhao.

When Yang Zhaozhao passed by Yang Taotao, he felt that she looked familiar. He looked back and saw the girl hurriedly leaving with her back to him. After a while, she went downstairs.

Yang Zhaozhao suspected that he had seen it wrong.

If Yang Taotao dares to come to school to cause trouble, she will be dead!
