Chapter 19 Let’s break up
Cui Xiuyuan just hesitated for a moment and asked immediately, “What kind of thing do you want to buy?”
“Charlie or bread will do. After you finish the operation, Aze and I continued to ask for the bill. We had to walk all the way. It would be inconvenient without a car. That’s it.”
It’s not that Cui Changjia can’t bear the hardships of the wind and rain, it’s just a waste of time without a car. She wants to get the money from outside quickly and secure the people who want to pay. Stay, and when their eldest brother is discharged from the hospital and their father wakes up, they will almost have the capital to start over.
Cui Xiuyuan is not against Cui Changjia buying a car, "Are you going to buy it by yourself? Forget it, don't go by yourself. I'll call Dongcheng and ask him if he has time and ask him to do a favor. .”
Dongcheng was Cui Xiuyuan's original driver.
“No, the price of a second-hand car is not that high to begin with. Even if it is expensive to buy, it won’t be much more expensive.”
Now Cui Changjia doesn’t want to owe even a single favor, let alone leave. The tea is cold. Dongcheng is no longer Cui Xiuyuan's driver. He may not be willing to help. He might as well solve it himself.
Indeed, even if it is expensive, it is not much more.
Cui Xiuyuan told his sister, "Don't drive it after buying it, let Aze drive it."
Cui Changjia had a hard time getting his driver's license. He only got the second and third subjects after taking the exam for the fifth time. It doesn't matter if her two brushes or the car are scrapped, it would be the worst if someone gets injured.
After finishing the noodles and chatting, Cui Changjia pushed Cui Xiuyuan to the bathroom, helped him get a pot of hot water, called Cui Chengze down, and went straight to the second-hand car market.
In 2004, there was no formal second-hand car market in Zhoucheng. There was one here and one there, and they were all small businesses.
But Cui Changjia just wanted to buy some bread or Charley, so he didn’t need to inquire. After asking Cui Chengze to get into a taxi, he asked the taxi driver and the master directly recommended one.
The place the driver mentioned was a repair shop, because at the beginning the boss was a nice person, and he would put the cars there for sale. As time went by, the boss simply started a second-hand car business.
Cui Changjia and his brother got off the car at the entrance of the repair shop. As soon as they entered, Cui Changjia saw various vehicles parked in the open space of the repair shop, some were slightly newer and some were very old.
Cui Chengze felt very uncomfortable. It used to be that every car in his family cost upwards of hundreds of thousands, but now they are reduced to looking at second-hand cars.
"What are you doing?" a repairman looked at them and shouted.
“I heard that used cars are sold here, let’s come and take a look.”
After hearing this, the repairman turned around and shouted towards the bottom of the vehicle being repaired, “Boss, there’s someone here to look at the car.”
A voice came from the groove under the repair vehicle, "Let them take a look first, wait a while."
"Go take a look first, our boss will be there in a minute."
There are several second-hand junk cars here, including Xiali and Fukang, but there is only one van.
In fact, Cui Changjia prefers to buy a van, because a van is highly practical and can haul many people and goods.
This van must be a few years old. The paint on the front bumper is almost gone. The rearview mirror on the right side of the car is taped up with tape. Cui Changjia looked at the appearance and then looked at the wheels. The treads on the tires are almost worn out. These tires can still be driven now, but they won’t be able to hit the road until it rains or snows.
Cui Changjia watched around the car, while Cui Chengze squatted next to him, with depression written all over his face.
"That car has driven 170,000 kilometers, and the engine and gearbox are all fine. It costs 5,000 yuan to drive away." The boss's voice came from behind. Cui Changjia turned around and saw that the person who came looked like he was in his thirties. He was several years old, quite tall, and his hair was a bit long. He was wearing a blue overalls that were stained with oil. He had a towel wrapped around his neck, but the original color of the towel was no longer visible.
“Five thousand yuan after 170,000 kilometers?” Cui Changjia said, “Cheaper.”
The boss pulled the towel from his neck and took it He wiped it on his hands and said, "The car you drive from here can guarantee that you can drive it for a year without any problem. Selling this car for scrap metal will cost two thousand yuan. Five thousand yuan is not much."
< br>
"Four-thousand-five thousand, including transfer of ownership, replacement of the oil and filter, and replacement of the tires with similar second-hand tires. If it works, give me the key and I'll try the car."
Actually, You can't find anything if you try, as long as the engine makes no abnormal noise and can be driven, it will be fine.
The boss suddenly smiled. He turned to the repair area and shouted, "Da Mao, get the keys to the van!" Then he smiled and said to Cui Changjia, "You can't tell that he is an expert, but I don’t have second-hand tires of this size here, you have to wait.”
It seems that the price is 4,500.
Cui Chengze was confused. It took a lot of effort to get his sister's driver's license. She knew nothing about oil and filters, and she still tested the car?
Sure enough, just when Cui Chengze was in a daze, Cui Changjia threw the key brought by the repairman to Cui Chengze. Cui Chengze breathed a sigh of relief. Well, his sister's words just now must have been bluffing.
Cui Chengze drove the van out quickly and came back. When he came back, he had a strange expression on his face.
Cui Changjia looked at the strange expression on his face and asked, "What's wrong?"
Cui Chengze said dullly, "It feels like everything is ringing except the horn, sister, it's really Want to buy? "
Cui Changjia suddenly laughed, a real smile, not a fake smile.
In the past few days since she was reborn, Cui Changjia's mental state has been tense. She suppressed the anger in her heart and felt like a ruthless machine, rushing forward and rushing forward... Just now, when she heard Cui Chengze's words, "Everywhere except the horn is silent," she suddenly let go of a lot. She had to fight for her life, but she also had to live well!
“What are you laughing at?” Cui Chengze was puzzled.
Cui Changjia's smile became brighter and brighter, "You can buy a shabby car with 4,500 yuan, how do you expect it to be any good? Let's go, give the money, and let's go through the formalities."
Cui Chengze looked at his sister's face Shang Minglang smiled, was startled for a moment, then scratched his hair and shouted, "Ah, sister, I really want to buy it!"
Cui Changjia patted Cui Chengze on the shoulder, "Let's go, pay the money. ”
After talking, we learned that the boss’s name was Xu Junwei. He used to be a repairman in a heavy truck repair shop, but later he went out on his own. He changed the engine oil of the van in front of Cui Changjia, and also replaced the rearview mirror that didn't fit well. The only regret was that the repair shop didn't have suitable second-hand tires now, so he had to wait.
Maintaining the car and finding someone to transfer the ownership, it was already almost five o'clock when all of this was done.
Sitting in the broken van, holding the steering wheel in his hand, Cui Chengze still felt that he was in a fog. He didn't dare to press the accelerator hard in such a broken car, because he was afraid that he would break away if he drove too fast.
"Aze, let me use your phone." Cui Changjia stretched out his hand and said.
“What are you going to do?”
"Use it, can't you?"
Cui Chengze handed over the phone. Cui Changjia opened it and opened it. A text message popped up. The person who sent the message was Ren Qing. There was only one sentence on it: We are still Let's break up.
