Life is more than just living

Chen Xu's sense of unreality became stronger and stronger. He thought about himself, a poor girl, taking a car and having a luxury car drop him off at the station and a handsome driver picking him up. It was already eight o'clock in the evening when we left the station, but it was just getting dark and the lights were on. Liu Jingsheng said: "Xiao Xu hasn't eaten yet, has he? Dad is making delicious food for you at home. It just so happens that we all have a midnight snack together." Chen Xu was a little embarrassed, "Don't tell Dad in advance next time I come back. I'll buy one Just eat the bread in the car." Liu Jingsheng said: "Give dad a chance to show off his cooking skills, he usually doesn't have much chance to do it."

When Chen Xu arrived home, he saw only a few side dishes and snacks on the table, as well as nutritious porridge. Han Hui wanted to stay in shape and not eat late night snacks, but she was also there to watch. Liu Weiguo was very pleased to see Chen Xu enjoying his meal. After dinner, Chen Xu wanted to help wash the dishes, but Han Hui stopped him, "Let your brother do the washing!" A few people sat on the sofa. Although Chen Xu was a little uneasy, he still mustered up the courage to tell Lin Zhiyuan's matter. Liu Weiguo and Han Hui talked. Chen Xu felt that he was a little hasty and should have discussed it with his parents first. Unexpectedly, Liu Weiguo said: "Your brother has already told us about your worries. You don't have to worry. No matter what this person does, it won't affect me. You don't have to be nervous. In the process of his success, He and I have no intersection, let alone being so far apart, and there is no common circle or entangled interests. It's good to have one more person to protect you. I heard that that person is quite powerful in Longcheng. He protects you and prevents you from being bullied.”

Liu Jingsheng came over after washing the dishes and wiping his hands, and asked Chen Xu: "How is your driving study going?" Chen Xu said: "I just missed the fourth subject and missed the exam. There is a lot of work in the unit recently, so I don't have the nerve to ask for leave for the exam. We will talk about it after a while. , not in a hurry." Liu Weiguo asked Chen Xu what kind of car he liked and said he would buy one for her. Chen Xu smiled and said, "What kind of luck have I got! Why do you want to give me a car? I really don't need it! Dad, I want to buy a mobility scooter myself. I'll pay a down payment and the rest will be a loan." Han Hui He complained, "How much loan do you have to pay to buy a car? I heard from your brother that you don't want to buy a car that is too eye-catching. Your dad said that it is really not suitable to be too ostentatious in the workplace. Just drive a car worth 30 to [-] yuan for transportation. At home, It's not that I can't afford one as a gift to you. Why are you so heretical?" Chen Xu quickly said: "I'm not a heretic. In fact, my new eldest brother also wanted to give me a car, but I also refused. Mom, you I know that if I am a young civil servant who has just started working, people will make irresponsible remarks if I drive a very nice car. This is so out of touch. As a young man, I don’t have a mortgage, and if I don’t have a car loan, I will be criticized. Jealous." These words made several people laugh. Han Hui stretched out her finger and nodded Chen Xu's head, "Where do you come from so many fallacies?" Chen Xu tilted his head and said with a smile: "Really, Mom, we There are many poor students like me in my workplace who take out loans to buy cars. Although having a car loan is like borrowing money to buy a car, it is for convenience. I plan to buy a car worth about [-] yuan. A car that is too expensive costs fuel and maintenance. The cost is also high, insurance and other things are very expensive, and it is not suitable for people with my income.”

Chen Xu turned to look at Liu Jingsheng again, "By the way, brother, Brother Lin Zhiyuan gave me an above-ground garage of more than 50 square meters. It is to replace the parking space you won for me last time. He said that if I, a girl, drive in alone The underground parking lot is not safe." Liu Jingsheng smiled and said, "He is being generous." Chen Xu complained, "Brother, next time he wants to compete with you, you kick his ass twice as hard as you can. He even laughed at me: If I want to buy a car worth [-] yuan, it won’t be worthy of that garage.” A few words made everyone laugh, but Liu Jingsheng had to admit that the above-ground garage in that community was indeed worth hundreds of thousands, but he didn’t Dare to mention the price of this garage to Chen Xu, otherwise Chen Xu will not dare to accept it.

Han Hui smiled and said: "Xiao Xu, this reaction is right. If you are bullied outside, you have to go home to find your brother." Chen Xu was a little embarrassed by their laughter, "Mom!" Han Hui touched her Head said, "You are always so stubborn. But when you buy a car, don't make your own decisions. Let your dad and your brother refer to it. They know more about cars than us girls. You are the baby of the family, and buying a car is a big deal, because It's about safety. In short, you have to buy one with better safety performance, safety is the first priority." Chen Xu nodded.

The next day Han Hui wanted to take Chen Xu to a beauty salon to get her hair done, and Chen Xu obediently agreed. When Chen Xu was doing his hair, someone suddenly sent a message in the "Flower Lovers" group. Chen Xu clicked in and saw that it was Cheng Qi, and asked: Are you meeting this afternoon? Chen Xu quickly said in the group: Sorry, I'm not in Longcheng now. I'll go there next week. Cheng Qi made a pouty expression. Zhao Yuhan @成绮, "Why are you like this? Are you here to see the flowers in my flower shop, or are you taking the opportunity to date Chen Xu? Can't you come to see the flowers and me?" Cheng Qi quickly clarified: I am I'm afraid you'll be busy. I think if the two of us go there, it won't be too embarrassing for me to be there when you're busy. Zhao Yuhan said: Then I am busy, you can help me, I can provide free fragrant tea as reward! Cheng Qi quickly finalized the decision and said: It’s settled, we’ll be there in a moment.
