Chapter 389

Chapter 389: Chapter 389: Buying a Car "When the time comes, you don’t have to interact with the cotton mill factory manager. Since the price has already been set, you can go directly to Director Kang of the cotton mill to handle it. First, check how much there is in Qin’s Buns Shop’s public account, and if it’s not enough, go to Xiyang Food Factory to find Su Wensong."

"The Bun Shop’s account should have enough money, I’m going back now."

Seeing Lin Chuxia’s eagerness for the shop, Qin Han didn’t delay any longer, stood up, and was ready to leave.

Then he thought of something and turned back to ask, "It’s only about ten days until New Year, when does the second brother have holiday? When you go back, bring your elder sister and Ningning along. Mom and Dad are already starting to buy New Year’s goods, wanting the family to have a good celebration."

"Understood, big brother. I’ll tell Mom and Dad that we’ll go back together."

With a definite response, Qin Han did not hesitate this time.

Lin Chuxia walked him to the door and saw him board the 121 bus. The car started, and off it sped in a flash, leaving her feeling envious once again.

She couldn’t sit still once she was back inside and waited for Qin Yang to finish work; then she urged him to go car shopping.

As early as this year when the policy allowing private ownership of cars had been implemented, Lin Chuxia had been thinking about buying a car.

Before, if she wanted a private car, she could only buy a second-hand one under someone else’s business account, but now she could outright buy a new one.

Of course, Lin Chuxia had the means to do so.

Although advertisements now boasted, "Owning a Santana, travel the world without fear," for most people, a private car was still an alien and unattainable thing.

They were just too expensive.

Santana, as one of the first joint-venture private car models, was priced at over a hundred thousand.

In an era where a worker’s wage was just tens of yuan and the promotion of becoming a millionaire was just starting, a price of over a hundred thousand was absolutely astronomical.

Lin Chuxia never thought about buying a Santana; it was too expensive and ugly.

Such high-end cars aren’t even available in this small place.

The only two cars for sale here are the Fiat 126p, which is quite popular at the moment.

And then there’s the Jeep 212.

These two are still increasing in number as private cars, brought here at the year’s end.

Of course, no one paid attention to them after they arrived.

The arrival of Lin Chuxia and Qin Yang really pleased the staff, who energetically introduced the two models.

Lin Chuxia had already decided on buying the 212; no matter when, the Jeep always looked the coolest.

Today was quite late; by the time they finished the car buying procedures, it was already time to close. Other matters would have to wait till tomorrow.

Qin Yang drove while Lin Chuxia sat in the passenger seat. While passing by the entrance of the second primary school, it was just time for school dismissal, and she spotted Qin Juan and Little Ningning among the crowd.

"Stop the car, stop the car."

Qin Yang pulled over, and Lin Chuxia got out to call Qin Juan.

Qin Juan, hearing her voice and surprised to see Lin Chuxia, changed her expression when she saw the brand new car behind her.

She knew her sister-in-law was capable, but this was... too impressive.

Back then, Zhang Wenbin could only ride in cars if they were designated for their unit leaders.

"Did you guys just come back with a new car?"

"Smart, elder sister. Get in the car."

Lin Chuxia opened the rear car door, and Little Ningning gazed at her mom with wide excited eyes, as if asking if she could sit inside.

Lin Chuxia lifted the little one, "Let’s go sit in the car."

Qin Juan also smiled, "I was actually planning to come and find you."

"That’s perfect, we can have hotpot tonight," Lin Chuxia said as she got in the car too.

Qin Yang restarted the car, Little Ningning excitedly pressed her face against the car window looking outside. Some children recognized her and pointed at her, saying to the adults beside them, "Mommy, look, there’s a big car, Qin Jiating is riding in a big car. I want to ride in a big car too..."

Hearing the envious voice of the children, Little Ningning’s face was filled with a happy smile. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓ Lin Chuxia also knew that in an era where most people still rode bicycles, owning a private car was really impressive.

As soon as they entered the family compound, their new car caused a bit of a sensation. Although no one said anything to her face, from the looks people gave her, Lin Chuxia could guess what they would say behind her back.

Lin Chuxia had never intended to compromise her lifestyle to conform to others’ perceptions, nor had she planned to feign modesty.

Qin Yang, whether in work or life, never cared about these things, and she cared even less.

The car parked right in front of their own house, drawing curious children to come over and look.

Lin Chuxia opened the door and directly allowed Qin Juan and her daughter to enter the yard.

The second elementary school wasn’t far from here. Little Ningning hadn’t had enough of riding, and with a smile, Lin Chuxia said, "When winter break comes, let your little uncle drive you to grandma’s house."

Ningning was immediately pleased and looked up at her mom, "Really? Are we going back to grandma’s house? Are we going to stay over at grandma’s house for New Year? Can we stay at grandma’s house for two days?"

She loved being at grandma’s house, everyone liked her there, and Zhuangzhuang was willing to play with her.

But her mom never let her stay at grandma’s house, and she knew it was because of that person who didn’t allow her mom to stay at grandma’s.

Now that they no longer lived with that person, could they do it?

Qin Juan seemed to hesitate, and Lin Chu directly said, "Of course, Ningning can stay as long as she wants. Let’s stay to our hearts’ content."

Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife Then she said to Qin Juan, "Today big brother came to the city and he told me that our parents are already preparing for the New Year goods, just waiting for us to go home for New Year. Big sister, you can’t say you want to stay in the city with Ningning over New Year, that would really not consider us family."

As far as the divorce was concerned, the Qin Family did not mention it, so outsiders wouldn’t know either.

Qin Juan basically lived in the city, and going back to her parents’ house for New Year was common.

It wasn’t that the Qin Family felt ashamed of Qin Juan’s divorce, but the perceptions of people in that era were something they couldn’t change, much less silence others’ gossip.

They could only protect Qin Juan from getting hurt by those rumors and slander.

Qin Juan hesitated only briefly, then realizing that her parents and brothers wouldn’t allow her to spend New Year alone with Ningning, which would hurt them and make them worry, she said, "Alright, we’ll all go back together."

"When is Ningning off for vacation? Did the school notify you?"

"She just has half a day of classes tomorrow before the break. I’ve already spoken with the store manager, Ningning will be with me in the store during her vacation days."

Ningning was understanding and well-behaved, she wouldn’t affect anyone else’s work even at the store.

"If Ningning gets bored at the store, let mom bring you to your little aunt, she will take you out to play."

Lin Chuxia patted Ningning’s small head.

Ningning crisply spoke up, "I like going to the Bun Shop with mom, all the big brothers and sisters, uncles, and aunties there are nice people."

"Alright."

Lin Chuxia these days had been reading books related to vegetable management.

She planned to handle the car’s paperwork and then make a trip to the Xinhua Bookstore in the capital, to buy some more books on the topic.
