Chapter 106: One cannot have a Range Rover and have low self-esteem at the same time.
Two hours later.
In the Land Rover Daxia 4S store in Xiaoshan, Hangzhou.
After learning that he was going to have a holiday, Jiang Nian rushed here without stopping and took Zhang Linyu with him by high-speed rail.
After getting ready to go home.
Jiang Nian naturally wanted to prepare everything he could before going home.
Among them, cars are undoubtedly the strongest obsession in Jiang Nian's heart, bar none!
Children living in rural areas should all know this custom.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, ancestors are worshiped.
No matter how famous you were before or how high your status is.
On this day, everyone should get up conscientiously before seven o'clock in the morning, pack their belongings neatly, bring the sacrifices prepared for New Year's Eve, and go to the graves to worship their ancestors.
In Dongyang, because of the weather.
On this day when we go to the graves to worship our ancestors, we suffer especially.
It's okay if you have a car.
No need to suffer the ravages of wind and snow.
But those who don’t have a car can only watch the happy family of three being torn apart.
Like a selected product, they were impatiently picked up by relatives and put into the car. They also said all kinds of flattering wisecracks on the way to thank them for giving them a ride.
This situation deeply hurt Jiang Nian, who was young at the time.
So he vowed to change this situation no matter what, one day he would become famous.
And now, it’s time to fulfill your wish!
Look at the car, choose the color, and distribute the goods.
The two million he earned from starring in "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" as Yu Huatian and Feng Lizao, plus the millions he earned from "The Swordsman" gave Jiang Nian great confidence.
It breaks the inferiority complex hidden deep inside.
Straighten the spine bent by life.
Finally, the bank card was swiped through the POS machine.
"Di—"
At this moment, it was like a new life!
Watching the salesman beaming with joy, he took the camera and recorded this moment.
In a daze, Jiang Nian seemed to see his young self.
He stood in front of him with a faint smile on his face.
Seeing this, Jiang Nian subconsciously wanted to stop the other person and share the joy of this moment with him, but found that his figure kept fading, and finally turned into a cold black Range Rover.
"Brother Jiang, Brother Jiang?"
Zhang Linyu's voice came from the side.
Hearing this, Jiang Nian turned around and looked: "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing. I just saw you suddenly distracted and didn't respond no matter how you called. Did you see someone familiar?" Zhang Linyu asked.
Jiang Nian smiled slightly: "That's right, my youth looked back at me."
"Ah?" Zhang Linyu was stunned.
Then he looked at Jiang Nian in surprise: "You don't call yourself my father-in-law anymore?"
"Male, you are so tall. Damn it, you finally managed to have some atmosphere, but you ruined it. If you have nothing to do, just go and stay somewhere to cool down." Jiang Nian suddenly said angrily.
After Ben said that, the system deducted twenty proficiency points from him.
After all, Zhang Linyu is here to add fuel to the fire.
Seeing him suddenly getting angry, Zhang Linyu curled his lips and muttered, "Why is it so bad?" Then he walked aside and sat down without saying a word.
As for Jiang Nian, after he finished cursing, he took a photo with the salesperson with the purchase receipt.
Then he asked: "By the way, how long will it take for this car to come down?"
The salesman thought for a while: "It will probably take three or four days. After all, you chose the top model. There are not so many top models now. We have to get it from other places. Do you live in Hangzhou?"
Jiang Nian shook his head: "No, I live in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province. I will give you an address later, and you can just send it there."
"Okay! Then I'll add your contact information. Then you can just send me the address on it."
The salesman was stunned for a moment by Jiang Nian's sudden change of self-identification, but then he recovered and spoke quickly.
In this regard, Jiang Nian said that he had nothing to do, so he exchanged contact information and left here.
Walking out of the store, the midday sun shines down.
Jiang Nian closed his eyes and took a long breath. While feeling refreshed, he felt his whole body relaxed and more confident: "It seems that the old saying is really true!"
"What old saying?" Zhang Linyu asked curiously.
Jiang Nian glanced at him and grinned: "It is impossible for a person to have a Range Rover and have low self-esteem at the same time."
Zhang Linyu: "???"
"No, you are showing off your wealth to no end, right?"
Just when Jiang Nian and Zhang Linyu were waiting for a taxi on the side of the road like two second-rate men, they were chatting about the mountains.
"Dingle bell—"
"Dingle bell—"
Jiang Nian's cell phone suddenly started vibrating. When he took it out, he found that it was Yang Mi calling him VX.
"Hello?"
"Are you on holiday?" Yang Mi asked immediately as soon as the call was connected.
Hearing this, Jiang Nian was not surprised. After all, he was his boss and knew that this incident was normal. He just asked: "Is something wrong?"
"Nonsense, why am I calling you like this? I'm planning to go on vacation to Sanya during the Chinese New Year. You're on vacation now, do you want to come with me?"
Originally, Yang Mi had no plans to take a vacation.
But I couldn't stand the fact that Jiang Nian was on vacation, so I thought of taking Jiang Nian out to have some fun and live a world of two people.
She thought that what she said would definitely be answered without any hesitation, given Jiang Nian's character of taking advantage.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Nian raised his eyebrows: "Now?"
"Yes!"
"We can't go there."
"Why?"
"As I said, you must go home during the Chinese New Year. Don't you have a home?"
Jiang Nian lowered his head and clasped his fingers, speaking casually.
Listening to his highly offensive speech, Yang Mi was used to it and didn't care. She just asked: "So you will be in your hometown during this holiday and won't come out?"
"Yes, after all, I haven't been back for several years. Now that I go back, I have to spend more time with you."
"Okay, just stay at home and spend time with your uncle and aunt, and I won't disturb you anymore."
After saying that, Yang Mi hung up the phone.
But not long after the call was hung up, another call came.
When Jiang Nian saw it, he immediately let out a whoop.
Because this call turned out to be from Zhang Yuxin from "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate".
This is a rare visitor.
You know, since "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" was completed many months ago, until now, they have not contacted each other or even chatted.
Jiang Nian originally thought that their relationship would stop here. Unless they happened to be on the same crew next time, they would never meet again.
Unexpectedly, today, she actually came over on her own initiative.
"Wait, she came here suddenly, what does she want to do?"
"Is it possible that the protective measures were not taken well at that time, and my father-in-law is happy to be a father?"
Jiang Nian frowned.
After all, they had a lot of fun at the beginning. Jiang Nian often stood up and kicked, completely developing Zhang Yuxin inside and out.
It is inevitable that there will be no mistakes.
Especially now, Zhang Yuxin came to find her after a month. It's like a friend who hasn't messaged you in over ten years suddenly sends "Are you there?"
The goddess who once looked down on you suddenly asks you if you are married.
Either borrow money or take over.
"Can't we be so unlucky?"
Jiang Nian murmured, still holding a trace of luck in his heart, so he answered the phone and said: "Hello?"
"Hey, hey, hey, Teacher Jiang, it's me, Yuxin, long time no see. What have you been busy with lately?"
Zhang Yuxin's energetic voice came from it.
Hearing this, Jiang Nian breathed a sigh of relief.
With this tone, the possibility of unwanted pregnancy can be ruled out.
He wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead and said, "It's nothing, I'm just busy filming a new movie. What's wrong, Yuxin, what's the matter?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Zhang Yuxin smiled slightly: "Guess."
Jiang Nian refused to accept this trick: "Do you think my father-in-law can guess?"
"Oh, just take a guess." Zhang Yuxin said coquettishly.
Jiang Nian pondered for a moment: "Miss me, father-in-law?"
"Emmm, this is just part of it. Forget it, I won't hold back. Our company is on annual holiday." Zhang Yuxin said happily.
"Congratulations, you can have a good rest."
"Hehe, yes, Teacher Jiang, have you had a rest? Do you want to go out and play together?"
Hearing this, Jiang Nian was slightly startled.
I was thinking about this situation, when did I become so popular?
First it was Yang Mi, then Zhang Yuxin.
Everyone came to him.
But the problem is, he wants to go home now.
Jiang Nian was a little speechless, so he said, "Without Yuxin, I have to go home to celebrate the New Year, so I won't go out with you to play."
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Zhang Yuxin's little face suddenly fell down on the other end of the phone, and she sang a long tune to express her depression.
But Jiang Nian has already made up his mind on this matter.
It's useless no matter how much Zhang Yuxin acts coquettishly. Jiang Nian doesn't want to do this.
So after a brief exchange of greetings, he hung up the phone.
This made Zhang Yuxin extremely depressed, but there was nothing she could do.
As for Zhang Linyu, although he didn't hear the content of the phone call, he didn't know who called Jiang Nian.
But he could tell from Jiang Nian's tone that the two people who called Jiang Nian were definitely girls!
Moreover, Jiang Nian rejected the two girls who asked her out because she just wanted to go home!
Zhang Linyu was deeply impressed and couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "You have oily skin but not rough skin!"
The scenery of the North is covered in ice and snow for thousands of miles.
Harbin is the northernmost city in China and one of the cities closest to the Arctic Circle.
There are only two climates here, winter and spring.
In a remote countryside.
Fill the stove with a few coals and let the flames burn.
The heat brought up passed through the pipes of the brick wall, crookedly, and came to the kang in the inner room. It heated the earthen kang and made it feel warm and comfortable to the touch.
"Chi—"
The kettle screamed.
A woman over fifty years old came over upon hearing the sound, picked up the pot, and poured the hot boiling water into the basin.
When the boiling water comes into contact with the washing powder, gorgeous foam will instantly overflow.
After reaching out and touching it to make sure it was not hot, she took the washboard, sat in front of the basin, and started washing the clothes.
There was a strong wind outside.
The heavy snowflakes hit the plastic shed set up at the door with the wind, making a muffled sound of huffing and puffing.
"Ahem, cough."
Accompanied by violent coughing, the door was opened.
A middle-aged man with a weathered face, wrapped in a military coat and a Lei Feng hat, walked into the house covered in snow.
"Bang bang."
He stamped his feet, and the snow hanging on his body fell down immediately.
"Hiss-ha-it's really cold today."
The man took his hands out of his sleeves.
Even though he was wearing a military coat, during this trip, his hands were as cold as marble, mottled with blue and white, and extremely stiff.
"The washing machine is broken again?"
Seeing Jiang's mother washing clothes, Jiang's father asked in a nonchalant accent.
"Yeah, it's broken again. Just like us, it's hard to use it anymore as we get older."
Jiang's mother responded, and then called to Jiang's father: "Come over and have some fun?"
"Hey, okay." Father Jiang immediately stepped forward with a smile and put his hand into the water.
The warm water quickly melted away the coldness clinging to his hands.
Then he raised his buttocks and said to Jiang's mother: "You go and take a rest, I will wash it."
"Hey, old man, what are you doing to me?"
Mother Jiang immediately stood up and distanced herself from him.
In response, Jiang's father just smiled and didn't say much.
Seeing this, Mother Jiang's face was full of disgust. She picked up the towel next to her and wiped her hands: "Have you bought anything?"
"I bought it. Here it is."
After Jiang's father said this, he carefully unbuttoned his military coat and took out a large black plastic bag from inside, as if he were offering a treasure.
When Jiang's mother opened it, she saw all kinds of miscellaneous things neatly listed inside.
It looks messy, but if you let Jiang Nian go, you will be surprised to find that it is filled with his favorite snacks and some raw materials for dishes.
"How about it, it's okay!"
"In order to buy these things, I traveled five miles to the next town to buy them!"
Father Jiang said.
Hearing this, Mother Jiang rolled her eyes at him angrily: "Yes, yes, you are the best, but can you explain to me what these popsicles mean? Can these things be brought on the plane? Even if you can Take it, can you still not melt it when you get there?”
"Uh this."
After some torture, Father Jiang was left speechless.
It took a long time for Shanshan to smile: "I didn't think so much."
"Put it down, day by day, I really can't count on you." Mother Jiang said angrily.
Then he put the plastic bag aside: "I've packed my things. Have you bought the tickets?"
"I've bought it. Do we really want to go?" Father Jiang asked hesitantly.
Mother Jiang rolled her eyes: "Nonsense, it's been a few years, and you don't miss your son?"
"I do, of course I do, but when I called him some time ago, didn't he say that he had taken a new role and was filming it?" Father Jiang lit up a cigarette, feeling a little timid.
Mother Jiang was unmoved:
“That’s why it’s even more important to get over it!”
"Think about it, this child doesn't eat well at home on weekdays, but now he is busy, do you think he can eat well?"
"In short, no matter what you say, I must see my son this year, otherwise, I will not be able to survive this year!"
"By the way, I'm telling you, when you see your son, you should restrain your virtue and don't behave like your nose is not your nose and your face is not your face. Do you hear me?"
Mother Jiang was furious.
In this regard, Jiang's father just smoked silently and looked at the clothes in the laundry tub, his eyes changing, not knowing what he was thinking.
