Chapter 52 Buying a car (please collect and recommend)
Li Hongbin came as soon as he said he would. He had just hung up the phone and only half an hour later, this man arrived at Zhang An's house.
When Zhang An returned home and told his mother about this, Wang Fang gave the bankbook to Zhang An.
"Why did you come so fast? You arrived not long after I hung up the phone. There's no need to be in such a hurry."
"Didn't I tell you to go out right away? When.”
We Chinese people can only understand the pronouns of time. Even foreigners who have learned Chinese don’t know what they mean.
I told you to wait for me for a while. How long this moment is, I can only feel it but cannot express it in words.
After Li Hongbin asked Zhang An to get in the car, the two went to the county seat.
“We have to go there quickly. It will take us about four hours on the way there and back. It will be dark if we come back later.”
The Mazda car drove all the way through the winding county Speeding down the road.
In two hours, the two of them had arrived in the county town.
After entering the city, Li Hongbin drove towards the north of the city. There was no sign of congestion on the wide city roads.
Finally, we came to a small courtyard in the north of the city. This courtyard was about the same size as Zhang An’s house.
But the building here is very exquisite, and there are many beautiful and exquisite flowers and plants inside.
Paired with a two-story small western-style building, it is not difficult to see the heritage of the owner's family.
Li Hongbin entered the yard and shouted inside.
"Chen Ze, we are here to pick up the guests."
A man's voice responded from inside.
Then a young man in his twenties walked out. His enthusiastic look gave Zhang An the feeling that the person in front of him was very hospitable.
After coming out, he walked towards Li Hongbin and Zhang An enthusiastically and shook hands with Zhang An.
"This is the Zhang An that Hong Bin mentioned. You are so sweet."
Then they were welcomed into the living room.
"By the way, let me introduce, Zhang An, this is Chen Ze, the one I told you about the business that failed to be completed and who is about to return home to inherit the family business. Chen Ze, this is It’s Zhang An. The fish you ate yesterday was brought from him.”
After entering the room and sitting down, Li Hongbin introduced them to the two of them.
Zhang An was thinking that he was just here to buy a second-hand car, so it shouldn’t make people want to know him. There were things he didn’t know about.
Zhang An looked at Li Hongbin in confusion, wondering what was going on, otherwise he would not be able to find a way to chat with him.
"That's it. After I came out from your place yesterday, I went to the county to find him, because all his subsequent projects were transferred to me, and then I had dinner at his place in the evening. , I cooked the chicken and fish I brought from you.”
“This guy has a mouthful of food, and he doesn’t look down on most things, and then he kept asking me about fish. Where did you buy it? Let me introduce you to it later."
After Li Hongbin explained the matter, Zhang An knew what was going on.
“I have to say, Zhang An, that fish of yours is really delicious. I ate this kind of fish when I was a kid and I’ve never forgotten it, but it’s not as good as the one Hongbin brought here yesterday, and it’s not even bad. A little.”
"So that's it. If I had known that Mr. Chen liked it so much, we should have brought some more when we came."
Chen Ze poured the freshly brewed tea for the two of them. Zhang An looked at the tea. This is no ordinary tea either.
Then the three of them started chatting.
It turned out that Chen Ze’s father had been on the firing line in the Northeast when he was young. After staying there for decades, he fell in love with it. Even after he came back later, he couldn’t let it go.
Even in the Dawumeng Mountain area, it is available, but due to various geographical reasons, the taste and meat quality are not that good.
Of course, in order to show their filial piety, Mr. Chen’s children and grandchildren would try their best to get some from there every year to feed Mr. Chen.
But it is difficult to transport live fish now, and it is costly to get here alive on the road.
Mr. Chen also has many descendants, but no one can often eat with him.
You still have to eat with the old man depending on how happy he is. Chen Ze had eaten with Mr. Chen when he was a child.
Although this thing has a lot of thorns, it is really delicious. Of course, having too many thorns is not a problem in a family like this.
Even though Chen Ze has passed so many years, he still remembers the taste of the fish with chopsticks that his grandfather gave him.
After all, this is something that other brothers and sisters in the family may not be able to get.
So last night, after eating the fish brought by Li Hongbin, he felt that bringing this fish to his old man would definitely make him happy. And this fish is much better than the one shipped from the Northeast at home.
After questioning, I found out that the fish was brought from Zhang An, although Li Hongbin said it was wild in the mountains.
But Chen Ze didn’t really believe it, because the family had brought all the fish from around here for the old man to eat, but they just didn’t agree with him.
So he was sure that Zhang An had his own breeding skills, and the ones grown in the wild would definitely not taste like this.
And in this era, there is no concept of wild being king. As long as it is good enough, it is a good thing.
Don’t mention it, his intuition is really good, Zhang An can only raise such a fish because he has space.
“By the way, Zhang An, do you raise a lot of fish?”
Chen Ze asked curiously.
"Not many, I just keep them in the fish pond in the yard, just a small pond at home, and it's not easy to raise more fish."
The following words are just because I don't want him. He's too lazy, otherwise he could raise another reservoir if he had space, but it's too high-profile and he doesn't want to.
"Can you provide me with a long-term supply? Of course, you don't need it every day. Just give me some every month. A few strips at a time is enough."
"Like this It seems okay. Anyway, I still have a lot of it. If I really can’t provide it in the future, I’ll tell you in advance.”
Zhang An thought to himself, that’s right, no matter how much he likes to eat. It’s impossible to eat it every day without getting tired of it.
"By the way, you are here to look at the car this time, let's go look at the car."
Chen Ze led the two of them to the yard, darling, there are several cars. As expected of a rich man.
After looking at it once, Zhang An walked towards the pickup truck on the edge.
This car looks quite new, but there is some mud on the wheels, which proves that it has been driven.
At this time, Chen Ze handed Zhang An a bunch of keys.
"Here, get in the car and see if you are satisfied with it. I have driven this car a few times since I bought it. It is too bumpy."
Zhang An started the car and took a look, and the dial showed It hasn't driven much mileage and the fuel tank is still full.
After confirming that there was no problem, Zhang An got off the car.
“This is it. This car is perfect for driving in our mountains.”
A four-seat pickup truck that can seat people and carry cargo is the most suitable for Zhang An.
Finally, Zhang An withdrew the money from the bank and gave it to Chen Ze. Chen Ze accompanied Zhang An and Li Hongbin to the county vehicle management office to go through the car transfer procedures. From now on, the car will belong to Zhang An. .
Today’s DMV is not like that of later generations, where you have to make an appointment and queue up. Now you can go and get it directly, and there are not many people around.
In his previous life, Zhang An didn’t get his own car until he was in his thirties, but in this life, he realized his dream first.
Although Chen Ze wanted the current situation very much, he went to Zhang An’s house to catch the fish, and then sent it directly to his grandfather.
But now it takes more than four hours to get to Hongyan Town and back, so it is definitely too late.
So he agreed with Zhang An that he would go to Zhang An’s house tomorrow morning.
Zhang An and Li Hongbin drove back and started on their way back.
When they arrived at the intersection, Zhang An was originally going to call Li Hongbin to come home for dinner.
But Zhou Lan and her son were at home, and he was in a hurry to go home, so they separated at the intersection.
It was still dark when we returned to the village, and we met many people returning from the fields on the road.
Zhang An parked the car in the yard. Zhang Jianguo and Wang Fang were very happy to see that the car was so new.
Zhang Jianguo went directly to the canteen and bought two strings of firecrackers and ordered them at the door.
Wang Fang went to her home and tore two pieces of red cloth and hung them on the car's reflector.
This is something everyone does when they add a big item to their home. In the past, when they bought a bicycle, they would put it on display and put it on display.
It is just for good luck and to pray for safety on the road.
