News of Liu Sanchen's car came a few days after Yun Jin and Xiao Niangao returned to Beijing.
Zhou Da said, "An acquaintance of mine lost money in the stock market and is now buying a car and a house to make up for the losses. He bought the car two years ago and is in a hurry to sell it. He doesn't want much, just 80,000 yuan."
Yun Jin asked about the details, and Zhou Da test drove it and said the performance was good and there were no problems.
You can also take it to a repair shop for inspection.
Yun Jin called Liu Sanchen to tell him about it. Upon hearing that it would cost 80,000, Liu Sanchen didn't even blink: "Okay, 80,000 it is. Thank you for your hard work. I'll transfer the money to you later."
"Okay, I'll pay here and have someone deliver it. You can drive it back from Shanghai later," Yun Jin instructed Liu Sanchen.
Liu Sanchen had no objection.
Before the car even arrived, Liu Sanchen took Yuan Qing out to practice driving. He couldn't steer with one hand, but Yuan Qing could.
Yuan Qing learned to drive quickly. Once the car arrived, she also got her driver's license. After arranging their work and taking care of their children, the couple flew to Shanghai to experience flying for the first time.
I must say, it's much faster than taking the train.
It's comfortable.
No wonder Nian Gao's mom and the others love flying these days; if they had the money, they would too!
The car looked brand new, not at all like a second-hand car. After the handover, Liu Sanchen let his wife get in and try it out. Yuan Qing, who had just gotten her driver's license, was hesitant, but Liu Sanchen encouraged her with a few words.
Yuan Qingcai dared to get in the car and drive away, and to her surprise, this car was much easier to drive than the one she had learned to drive.
Yuan Qing got the hang of it and dared to drive on the road. Fortunately, there weren't many cars on the road, so she wasn't too scared.
They stayed overnight in Shanghai. Liu Sanchen was very familiar with Shanghai, so the couple had a date. They bought Yuan Qing a lot of things, took photos on the Bund, and ate delicious local food.
The taste wasn't to their liking, and they didn't want to eat it again after just one meal.
He even called Yun Jin: "The car is great, thank you so much! My husband and I both love it. When you arrive at your post, just come and get the car keys if you need them!"
"That's good. Congratulations on getting your new car." Yun Jin felt relieved. If she were buying a car herself, it wouldn't matter if it was a little less expensive; she could accept that.
She felt bad if the car she bought for someone else had problems.
Fortunately, the car is fine.
Yun Jin can deliver on his promise.
He Tingchuan had been in contact with Yun Jin. He knew that Liu Sanchen's car had returned that very day. The main reason was that Liu Sanchen had made a big fuss by having Yuan Qing drive the car to the compound to find He Tingchuan, saying that he had brought him crab roe buns and crab roe rice crackers.
He said it was a specialty of Shanghai, so he specially bought it and sent it to He Tingchuan to try.
Looking at the sedan, which was similar to his wife's car except for the brand, He Tingchuan nodded: "Nice car, worth the 80,000 yuan, you made a good deal."
Liu Sanchen also felt it was worthwhile.
If the seller hadn't been in a hurry to sell, they wouldn't have been able to buy such a good used car.
Others in the compound also came to watch the spectacle, since it was the first time they had ever seen a private car.
When they saw that it was Liu Sanchen and his wife who had driven there, they were all stunned: "How profitable is your business? You can just buy a car worth over 200,000 yuan like that?"
They knew Yun Jin's car was worth over 200,000 yuan, and assumed Liu Sanchen's was too.
Judging from her tone, she was practically being sarcastic.
Liu Sanchen shook his head: "It doesn't need to be that much, just seventy or eighty thousand. Mine is second-hand. I'm so grateful to Nian Gao's mom, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to buy such a nice car!"
Everyone chattered and admired the car for a while. Many were tempted, but none could actually afford to spend seventy or eighty thousand.
Some people were sarcastic: "Why buy a used car? It's not like someone else didn't want it. Who knows what kind of accident it was in? If I had 70,000 or 80,000 yuan, I wouldn't buy a used car!"
Liu Sanchen didn't like hearing that: "What's wrong with a used car? I like it. It's my car, and I like it. Besides, this car is clean, I know its history, and it's not an accident car."
After Liu Sanchen snapped at them and they realized he was angry, they didn't dare to continue being sarcastic.
When Wang Xiaoting came home from get off work, she saw a group of people surrounding a car. She asked them out of curiosity and found out that Liu Sanchen, one of Li Aiguo's comrades, had made something of himself and bought a car.
Wang Xiaoting looked at Yuan Qing, who was sitting in the driver's seat and driving away, and felt very envious.
Wang Xiaoting felt uneasy: "That car, was it really bought for Yuan Qing?"
"Of course, it was Sanchen's wife who was driving. How can he drive with one hand? What kind of driving is that?"
He Tingchuan didn't have time to listen to their sarcastic remarks. He grabbed the food and left, making a quick phone call to his wife to let her know that Liu Sanchen and his wife had returned safely to their post. He even showed off a little.
Yun Jin was amused: "He's quite funny and dotes on his wife. Yuan Qing won't lose out by marrying him."
He Tingchuan agreed: "That kid is indeed sincere."
While He Tingchuan was on the phone with Yun Jin, Wang Xiaoting returned home, picked up the two children, prepared a meal, and waited for Wang Xiaoting to come back.
Wang Xiaoting glanced at the dishes: an egg custard for the two children to nourish their bodies, and a braised eggplant and a cucumber salad for them—no meat.
Thinking of Liu Sanchen, who drove to the compound to show off, and Yuan Qing, who was sitting in the driver's seat, Wang Xiaoting was annoyed: "Why are there only these two dishes? We eat them every day, every day. I'm so tired of them. Aren't there any other dishes?"
"What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you tomorrow."
"Meat! I want to eat meat! Chicken, duck, fish, beef, shrimp!" Wang Xiaoting complained, "How come I married you and I can't eat or drink well? I'm exhausted from work every day, and I still have to come home to eat this?"
Wang Xiaoting suddenly lost her temper, which frightened the two children.
Li Aiguo immediately comforted the child and called her away: "Tell me what you're unhappy about. Don't shout and yell in front of the children and vent your frustrations, as this will traumatize them."
