In the past, she had lived in the village. She had to make careful calculations even when buying clothes for the children, let alone going out to play.
Later on, although he entered the city, he had always been circling around this small piece of land.
Come to think of it, what was she earning money for? Wasnât it all for the sake of letting the children live a good life?
When Li Xu thought of this, she immediately made a decision. âAlright, if youâve taken a fancy to it, weâll go buy it tomorrow!â
Ji Ziâang was the first to cheer. âAh! Weâre going to have a car too!â
He stood on the sofa and jumped up and down.
Seeing how happy Ji Ziâang was, Li Xu couldnât help but laugh as she reminded him, âDonât drop the mask, itâs very expensive!â
Hearing this, Ji Ziâang quickly reached out with two index fingers and pressed on both sides of the mask.
However, the smile on his face could not be stopped.
This excitement continued until the next day.
Ji Ziâang woke up at six in the morning.
Their family was going to have their own car!
He tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
Zhang Kun and Li Xu also woke up not long after.
Hearing her voice, Ji Ziâang quickly got out of bed and ran to the living room. âMom, Dad, when are we going?â
She had just woken up and Li Xu had yet to react. âWhere are you going?â
âTo buy a car, didnât we agree to buy a car yesterday? Are you guys going back on your word?â Ji Ziâangâs eyes widened as he looked back and forth between the two of them.
Li Xu reacted. âWeâll still have to wait a while. They havenât opened the door yet!â
She yawned. âSince youâre awake, go brush your teeth and wash your face. Iâll make breakfast now.â
After she finished speaking, Li Xu went to the kitchen and turned on the gas.
Ji Ziâang was a little disappointed as he stood in the living room. However, he still forced himself to be alert and went to the bathroom.
After Zhang Kun finished packing, he went straight to the unit. Before he left, he made an appointment with Li Xu to meet them at 9 oâclock.
Li Xu had prepared breakfast. After a few simple bites, she went to the shop.
The children packed up and went along.
After a busy morning, Li Xu gave Qin Junshan a call.
The children had made an appointment to go to his place today. If he couldnât go now, he had to give them a call so they wouldnât have to wait in vain.
The three children waited in the shop until 9:10 P.M. Zhang Kun finally arrived.
Li Xu locked the door, took the passbook, and set off with Zhang Kun and the three children.
First, he went to the bank and withdrew 4.000 Yuan. Then, he went to Zhang Kunâs friendâs shop.
The shop was quite big and mainly sold agricultural machinery. They also sold used cars, but not many.
Therefore, Li Xu saw the black car at the entrance of the shop at a glance.
From the outside, it did look quite new.
The shop ownerâs surname was Qi, and his name was Qi Xiaotian.
He took out the keys, unlocked the doors, and opened all four doors.
âSister-in-law, itâs all thanks to my close relationship with Brother Zhang. Otherwise, I wouldnât be willing to sell this car for such a low price.â Qi Xiaotian said with a smile.
Li Xu smiled and looked at the car carefully.
Ji Ziâang couldnât help but reach out to touch the steering wheel.
âIâve checked it, thereâs nothing wrong with this car. The parts had basically not been changed or soaked in water. If you buy it, Iâll fix it for you for free if you have any minor problems in the future.â Qi Xiaotian said readily.
Zhang Kun nodded at Li Xu.
Li Xu knew this person had a good relationship with Zhang Kun and would not lie to them.
Whatâs more, Zhang Kun had carefully checked it yesterday and even tried it out, but he didnât find any problems.
âSince youâre so forthright, 1 wonât waste any more time. Weâll take this car. Here are four thousand yuan, please count them!â
Qi Xiaotian was stunned.
He probably didnât expect Li Xu to be so forthright. After a moment, he reached out and took the money.
He took the money and counted them one by one.
When he was halfway through, he looked up at Li Xu and asked in disbelief, âYou really want it?â
Li Xu and Zhang Kun looked at each other and laughed. âItâs true! Hurry up and count, give us the key!â
Qi Xiaotian finally believed that Zhang Kun really wanted it.
He lowered his head and counted the money again.
âJust right, no more, no less, exactly four thousand!â Qi Xiaotian kept the money and passed the key to Li Xu. âSister-in-law is so generous. Iâve been running this shop for so many years, and this is the first time Iâve met such a straightforward buyer!â
Li Xu lowered her head and looked at the car keys. She couldnât stop smiling.
They had bought a second-hand car today, but one day, they would definitely be able to buy a new car.
She smiled and handed the car keys to Zhang Kun, âLetâs go, take us for a ride!â
Zhang Kun had a driverâs license for a small car, which he had learned when he was young.
Zhang Kun took the car keys and looked at Qi Xiaotian. âThereâs oil, right?â
Qi Xiaotian smiled bitterly. âI didnât expect it to be sold out so quickly. I just filled up half a tank of gas yesterday. Itâs for a test drive.â
âThanks!â Zhang Kun smiled.
Then, he entered the driverâs seat and called Li Xu and the children. âGet in the car!â
The three children got into the back seat and Li Xu sat in the passenger seat.
âWhere are we going?â Zhang Kun inserted the key and started the car. He asked through the rearview mirror.
âLetâs go to Grandpa and Grandma Liâs house first,â Ji Ziâang said, raising his hand. âThen, weâll go to Grandpa and Grandma Zhangâs.â
âYou only know how to show off!â Li Xu laughed.
Ji Ziâang stuck his head out and whined to Zhang Kun, âGo, go!â
Zhang Kun stepped on the accelerator and the car drove out. âAlright, weâll do as Ziâang says!â
The sudden inertia caused Ji Ziâang to fall backward into the back seat. However, he did not care and instructed Zhang Kun, âDaddy, turn on the air conditioner. Itâs so hot!â
Zhang Kun reached out and turned on the air conditionerâs button.
A few seconds later, cold air was blown out from several outlets in the car.
Ji Ziâang put his hand on it and sighed in satisfaction.
Ji Yuanyuan saw his face of enjoyment and teased him, âSecond Brother, your performance is too exaggerated. Itâs not like youâve never been in a car before!â
He had been in Uncle Gongâs car countless times.
âWhat do you know?â he looked at her.âHow can our own car be the same as someone elseâs car?â
He said, âDad, turn on the radio. I want to listen to music.â
Zhang Kun reached out and turned on the radio.
Come on, come on, meet ninety-eight. Come on, come on, make an appointment. Meet in the sweet spring breeze. Meet the eternal youthâ¦#
A familiar melody started playing in the car, and the three children began singing along.
Li Xu looked out of the window and was in a daze for a moment.
She had never dared to imagine such a happy life before.
Qi Xiaotian waited until the car was out of sight before looking down at the money in his hand.
After a moment, he shook his head and muttered, âBrother Zhang, youâve really married a good wife.â
A house, a car, money, and children!. He had everything!
