Chapter 1693 Learn to Drive
"I'm so sorry. It's all my fault. I didn't ask more about your family situation. If I had known earlier, Auntie would have received better treatment and might have recovered earlier. Is Auntie doing well now?" Qiao Mei asked worriedly. Th.ê most uptodate novels are published on n(0)velbj)n(.)co/m
"Yes! She's doing very well! Previously, she could only lie in bed all day and my sister had to wait upon her hand and foot. Now, she can even go out for walks! She can basically take care of herself now. Everything's good!" Da Zhuang said happily.
"I still have some lingzhi here. It's very beneficial to your mother's health. I picked these in our village back then. Bring them back for Auntie to eat," Qiao Mei said as she took out some lingzhi from the cabinet.
"No! Sister-in-law! This won't do! This is against the rules!" Da Zhuang quickly said.
"We're all a family. Since you address me as sister-in-law, then you and Xiao Zhuang are like family to me. You always do your best to protect my grandfather, mother and my younger siblings, so I also have to protect your mother and younger sister," Qiao Mei said.
Da Zhuang was so touched that tears welled up in his eyes. He took the lingzhi from Qiao Mei's hand solemnly and said, "Thank you, Sister-in-law."
"Actually, I have something else to ask of you today." Before Qiao Mei could finish speaking, Da Zhuang immediately shouted, "Sister-in-law, just tell me what you want me to do! Anything you say! I'll definitely do it!"
"Step on the clutch, change gears, gently step on the accelerator, then slowly drive forward. This is how you start..." Da Zhuang rambled on for about two hours, teaching Qiao Mei almost all his knowledge and skills.
It was not so much teaching Qiao Mei how to drive as doing a demonstration for her, just like how he used to learn in the army.
"Can I give it a try?" Qiao Mei said.
"Do you already know how to do it?" Da Zhuang looked at Qiao Mei in disbelief.
"If we don't try, we'll never know. Just supervise me from the front passenger seat. Nothing will happen," Qiao Mei said.
Da Zhuang sat nervously in the front passenger seat and gripped the handbrake tightly. As soon as Qiao Mei did anything wrong, he would immediately pull the handbrake. At this moment, he felt as if he was going to face death bravely. It was like he was not holding the handbrake in his hand, but the fuse of a grenade that would explode if he loosened his grip.
"Don't be nervous." Qiao Mei looked at Da Zhuang and comforted him.
"I'm not nervous... For sure, I'm not nervous... Sister-in-law, go ahead and drive! Remember what I just said!" Da Zhuang said cautiously.
Qiao Mei started slowly at first and pretended not to know anything, then she made it look like she began to catch on. By the end, she could even drift!
"Sister-in-law, you're really too smart! It's such a pity that you're not a soldier!" Da Zhuang lamented.
