Chapter 119 learning to drive
Li Jianguo had a headache from being stared at by so many people, so she had to tell her story, "Haitang's mother followed a relative to the provincial city to learn tailoring at the age of 16. When she was 18, she met a man here. He was from the capital. He had a family and a son. The mother and daughter looked alike, and her mother was very beautiful when she was young. It was probably because of this that they... Later they went to the capital. Haitang's mother came back to her hometown at the age of 20. She was eight months pregnant and claimed that she was married. At that time, she didn't know how they did it. Anyway, she escaped the examination."
"The people in the village didn't think much about it. After all, haitang's grandparents had already said in the village that their daughter had found a partner outside. It was a matter of outsiders. Later, the day after she gave birth to begonia at home, she suddenly said to the outside world, see who wants to adopt a child, and also bring 300 yuan along. Three hundred yuan was a huge sum of money 17 years ago. Many people broke their heads to snatch it, and my ex-wife Deng Wenfang also snatched it. In this way, haitang brought it back to my home to raise.
In a few days, haitang left her hometown before her mother and son finished sitting down. Not long after, she was an unmarried child, and the matter of destroying other people's family was also exposed. Her grandparents had a hard time with their family, and they were led to educate, write, and check their minds every day. Two years later, her mother came back, this time to pick up her mother's family. When he left, he met me and told me that the man had divorced his old wife. They had already legally obtained their licenses and would live in the capital city in the future. I thought she was going to take haitang with me, but she didn't say a word and left without even looking at the child. "
"I heard that a pair of dragon and phoenix babies were born after that. They were three years younger than haitang. Their family conditions were very good. They made a lot of money by doing big business. Of course, haitang said all this when her biological grandparents came back to the village, and I didn't ask about it."
That's all he knew. He didn't want to ask about Li Xiaoqin. They had nothing to do with each other except for Li Haitang. She was the one who had gone her way, and he was the one who had gone his own way.
While everyone was silent, a clear and cold voice suddenly came from behind, "Since she didn't even look at me when she left that year, and left so simply, then such a mother naturally has nothing to do with me. She doesn't want me, and I just don't want to recognize her. It's a mutual annoyance. Let's settle down."
Everyone turned around and saw Li Haitang standing behind them with a big watermelon in his arms.
Li Jianguo stammered, worried that she was saying something angry, "Haitang, she may have had a last resort, you..."
Dad, you don't have to help her either. It doesn't matter to me whether she has a problem or really doesn't want me. There is a saying that a child with a mother is a treasure, and a child without a mother is like a grass. Although I am a grass that my own mother does not want, I do not feel how pitiful I am. I am confident that my future will be better than that treasure in her family. I don't want to see her regret it. I just want to tell her that I can live a wonderful life without them." After what happened in her previous life, Li Haitang really didn't expect her family to be close to her. Perhaps she was still a little repulsed and afraid in her bones, worried that her biological parents and siblings in this life were another kind of vampire, and then she would be disturbed by the simple satisfaction of life that she had finally been reborn.
"You've always been a child of your own mind, and no one else can change what you decide. Dad stopped trying to persuade you about it. Dad just wants you to think it through. Don't let their problems affect your studies and your future." Li Jianguo couldn't say anything. In his mind, the most important thing was that she went to college. He was afraid that the appearance of the Li Fugui family would affect her studies.
Li Haitang smiled lightly, "Dad, don't worry. I really don't want to get involved with them. Even if I meet their family again, I'll treat them like a normal neighbor. It's better if I don't know anything about them."
"Okay."
Mother of Wangli saw that there was no force on her face, so he smiled easily and took her grandson to his feet, "Since haitang has figured it out by herself, then we don't have time to worry. I'll take him home for a nap."
"Auntie, we'll leave later. We'll have watermelon first. This kind of desert melon is very red and sweet." Li Haitang smiled, put the watermelon on the table next to him, picked up the knife that he carried with him, and said while cutting the watermelon, "By the way, dad, I have something else to tell you."
"What is it?"
Li Haitang smiled and said, "The shop is busy now. I want you to learn how to drive and get a driver's license in the second half of the year."
"Ah? Driving?" Li Jianguo was stunned. He turned to look at the car parked outside and wondered, "Why do I have to learn to drive all of a sudden?"
Li Haitang chuckled, "Learning to drive is a good thing. Brother yao is also learning. I heard that his master was introduced by Li Yongchun. He taught him very well. You should go to the master and learn. I'll buy a car for you at the end of the year. We won't have to change on the way home and delay the return journey."
Li Jianguo's eyes lit up, and his face was filled with unspeakable joy. He touched his head awkwardly, "Haitang, the car is not cheap. The cheapest ones cost tens of thousands. One car is enough to buy several houses."
"Dad, you don't have to worry about cars and houses. All you have to do is get your driver's license." Li Haitang said boldly, slicing the watermelon evenly and distributing it to everyone.
Li Mingtang took the watermelon and took a big bite. He smiled and said, "Brother jianguo, listen to haitang. Hurry up and get your driver's license. We can hitch a ride home next year."
"That's right, big brother. Go take the exam. If I had a daughter who could make a lot of money like this, she would let me go to the east. I would never go to the west. I would go wherever she pointed." Li Jianhua teased him with a lisp as he bit the watermelon.
"Haha..." The big guy was amused by him.
Zhou Yunyang took the initiative to get a watermelon from the table and said to her, "Li Haitang, if you want to buy a car, you can ask brother chu heng for help. He has a way to get the lowest price. He helped me and Dongmingge buy the car. Also, if you want to buy a truck or something in your store, you can look for him. He has acquaintances who can get cheap second-hand cars."
"Really?" Li Haitang's eyes widened.
Zhou Yunyang didn't say anything but nodded seriously.
Li Haitang looked over with joy and turned to Mother of Wangli. "Auntie, Brother yao and sister-in-law mei fang are thinking of buying a truck. You can ask them if they want a used one later. If you want, let me know. We'll also buy one at the store. I'll go to chu heng and finish it all at once."
"Okay, okay. Haitang, shouldn't second-hand trucks be much cheaper than new ones?" Mother of Wangli had heard her son and daughter-in-law talk about the price of a new car. It was too expensive. They wanted to borrow money from the bank to buy it.
"Second-hand cars are naturally much cheaper. I'll ask Instructor jiang for details."
With a frown on the car, Li Haitang smiled and urged, "Dad, hurry up. Get your driver's license done as soon as possible. By then, the delivery within the province will be up to you." She thought that when the business grew big, other cities could be transported by long-distance buses. It would be better to send them by car locally, and it would be too hard to transport them by tricycle.
"Okay. I've heard from Wang Yao before that school bus tuition is very expensive now. It's more than a thousand yuan, which is equivalent to a year's salary. I have to go to class regularly. In addition to basic driving operations, you have to learn all kinds of traffic safety, car maintenance, mechanical principles, and so on. It will take about half a year to get a driver's license." Li Jianguo had said these things while chatting with Wang Yao, so he understood them a little.
Li Haitang knew that getting a driver's license was a lot more complicated and cumbersome than in later generations. After all, it was still the world of bicycles, and very few families had private cars. "It's good to have a strict exam. Driving is related to your own safety and property. The stricter the master, the better. This is responsible for our students. You don't have to worry about the tuition fees. Just get the money from the store."
Li Jianguo knew she wouldn't let him pay for it himself, and the money he borrowed from her for the new year's building wouldn't be repaid either. He sighed, but he didn't say anything else. He just answered, "Well, I'll ask Wang Yao to take me to school in a few days."
"Yes." Li Haitang took a small piece of watermelon and ate it. He asked casually, "Dad, have Li Yongchun and Brother Rongzi come here to play these days?"
Li Jianguo nodded, "I've been here twice. The two of them came on the day our store opened. The two of them even brought cigarettes and alcohol over politely."
Li Haitang smiled and asked, "How's their belt business going?"
"Hehe, not bad. The two of them were both mentally active and motivated. They bought the goods once in the first month of school. A month ago, they asked yong zi to send 4,000 goods to our store in Yangcheng. Half a month ago, half of them had already left. Now, more than half of them are piled up in the warehouse at the back. It will probably take some time before they come to pick them up." Li Jianguo threw the watermelon rind into the trash box next to him and chuckled, "These two boys will be better than you, Uncle yuan lin and Uncle Zhu."
"Hehe, that's necessary. They are better than the blue." Li Haitang admired the two of them. He started to make money slowly from a young age, which was much more profitable than their father.
Li Jianguo recalled what they had said about the school car and told her, "They also said they wanted to get a driver's license, but they usually had classes at school, and they had to work and do business on weekends to make money. They said they planned to go to school together during the summer vacation."
Li Haitang wiped his mouth and said with a smile, "That's great. You know each other well, so you're not alone anymore."
Not long after they finished eating the watermelon, Mother of Wangli took his grandson back to the shop next door, and the others started loading. Li Haitang waited in the shop to chat and wait for Xia Lin to come.
At three o' clock sharp, the Xia family driver sent xia lin over. They put a few boxes of drinks into the trunk, greeted Li Jianguo and left for tan city.
