Chapter 564 I want to buy a car, a car!
After another two days and two nights of long journey, they finally returned to the capital.
Yang Jianlong got the news in advance and drove them back home.
As soon as she arrived home, Lin Wanjun couldn't wait to lie back on her bed.
"It's better to stay at home..." Lin Wanjun sighed, "The hotel bed is indeed soft, but it's not as comfortable as my own bed."
"A golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as your own doghouse." Lin Ran said while packing his belongings.
"Your room is the doghouse." Lin Wanjun rolled her eyes at her brother, then she jumped up from the bed and placed the souvenirs she bought from Shuzhou on the bedside table.
Now, she is also someone who has traveled.
Father Lin and Mother Lin were not idle after they came back. They went to the market to buy some vegetables and then prepared dinner.
At dinner, they seemed very happy.
Father Lin, who has always been serious about words and expressions, is now full of joy.
In front of him was a bottle of Wuliangye liquor that he was usually reluctant to buy.
Moreover, the food on the table seemed very rich, and there was even beef, which they were not willing to buy before.
"Dad, Mom, why is today's dinner so rich? Are there any guests?" Lin Ran packed his luggage and asked curiously when he saw the dishes on the table.
"There are no guests, but I am happy today. Everyone eats well." Father Lin said with a smile.
At the same time, Mother Lin came out with a pot of steamed pork, and the aroma was overwhelming.
She also echoed: "I think after eating Sichuan food for so long, you may miss Beijing food, so I plan to make it more generous."
Lin Ran felt very relieved because his parents were finally willing to spend money.
Before going to the Tibetan area, he gave his family 1 yuan, but his parents were reluctant to use it and kept saving it. The family seemed very poor.
He also understood that his parents had experienced times of hunger and always wanted to save something.
Lin Wanjun also came out of the room and came to the living room. Her first thought was the same as Lin Ran: "Are there any guests at home?"
"You are our most important guests." Father Lin made a rare joke.
Sitting at the dining table, they talked about the interesting things during their trip to Shuzhou.
"We also bought some spicy rabbit heads this time and will distribute them to the villagers."
"Wanjun, I remember you bought some Shu embroidery. If you have any, I can give it to your Aunt Wang."
"I know." Lin Wanjun was a little reluctant to part with it, but after buying souvenirs, apart from displaying them at home or giving them as gifts to friends, she couldn't afford so many on her own.
When the meal was almost finished, Lin Ran asked: "Father, mother, why are you so willing to spend money now?"
"Hey." Father Lin sighed, "I was locked in the dark basement at that time, and I was thinking that I obviously had money on me, but I was reluctant to take it out, which caused my family to be in danger. I would regret it. If I hadn't Xiaoran, come here, you still don’t know how long we will be imprisoned?”
"Dad, please stop blaming yourself for this matter." Lin Ran comforted.
"I've already blamed myself." Father Lin laughed, "I'm thinking now, we are no longer the poor farmers we used to be. You see, our family has a new house, and our children have jobs and income. not bad."
"Everyone should learn to enjoy themselves in life."
On this trip to Shuzhou, I stayed in the most luxurious hotel there, ate local food, and wore branded clothes that Lin Ran bought from the clothing market.
From luxury to simplicity, and vice versa, Father Lin also gained a new understanding of life.
They used to live an ascetic life, guarding their money and saving it. However, they found that the speed at which they saved money could not match the speed at which Lin Ran made money.
As long as it's not a big spendthrift, Lin Ran can support it.
They can use the money to slightly improve their lives. Instead of eating vegetables without oil and water in every meal, they can add some meat and wine.
Lin Ran felt quite relieved after hearing his father's words.
He makes money just so that his family can live a good life. Previously, his parents' thinking had not changed and they believed that if they had money, they should save it.
"Father, mother, don't worry. It's just meat for every meal. The child can definitely support it."
"Well, we won't spend money recklessly." Father Lin said with a smile, "You can find some leisure work. When you have children, you can help take care of your grandchildren, haha."
Lin Ran heard nothing, and Lin Wanjun couldn't help but blush: "Dad, what are you talking about? I haven't even found a boyfriend."
"Dad is urging you to find it quickly." Mother Lin said with a smile.
The family enjoyed a sumptuous dinner happily. The home-cooked meal made Lin Ran more appetizing than the food in the hotel.
"By the way, Xiaoran, when you go to the store every day, you have to walk quite far from the village entrance to find the car, right?" Father Lin suddenly remembered this matter.
Lin Wanjun always rides a bicycle to work, but Lin Ran only has a small tablet at home, so it is not suitable to ride to work.
"How about, Xiaoran, you also buy a bicycle? With your financial strength, it shouldn't be difficult, right?"
After his father mentioned this, Lin Ran really felt that it was inconvenient to go to work from Xialin Village and the distance was a bit long.
However, he doesn't want to buy a bicycle.
Instead, he said, "I want to buy a car."
car?
Father Lin almost spit out the wine in his mouth. His son was really rich and rich, even richer than he thought.
In this era, bicycles are known as one of the three major items, and not all families can afford them.
Lin Ran actually disliked bicycles and planned to buy a car.
"Xiaoran, I believe you can afford a car, but can you drive?" Mother Lin asked worriedly.
Before his rebirth, Lin Ran was an experienced driver. He had about 20 years of driving experience and had never been in a traffic accident.
It would be a joke to say he can't drive.
Moreover, he all drove manual transmission cars. At that time, he was teased by his young colleagues for not driving an electric car and not driving an automatic transmission.
And manual transmission is the mainstream now.
He replied casually: "Yang Jianlong's family is a big place. I have driven it a few times and it's no problem."
"Don't you need a driver's license to drive?" Lin's father asked. He knew nothing about driving.
Of course a driver's license is required.
However, in this era when cars are not popular, taking the driver's license test couldn't be easier. Subjects [-] and [-] are merged, and subjects [-] and [-] are tested together. People who can drive can get it done in a week.
"That's great. From now on, Xiaoran, you can pick me up from get off work. I'm exhausted from riding every day!" Lin Wanjun helped.
After deciding to buy a car, Lin Ran called Yang Jianlong: "Jianlong, do you know anyone from the car dealer?"
"Of course I know you, godfather, does your friend want to buy a car?"
"It's not my friend, it's me who wants to buy a car."
Yang Jianlong was stunned for a moment: "Godfather, do you have a driver's license?"
"It'll be there in a week. I'll sign up for the Beijing Driving School tomorrow." Lin Ran said confidently.
Yang Jianlong believed Lin Ran's words: "Great, godfather, you can come to my house more often from now on!"
"Definitely, but now you can help me find a car first."
"What car do you want to order?"
"Audi 100."
This was the most popular car in the 80s, and it was no problem to use it on rural soil!
