7. Steal half a day of leisure
At ten o'clock, Lin Zhendong rode to the construction team.
The construction team where Lin's father and Lin's mother belong is a small contractor, and this contractor is also from Longtai, and he has such a close relationship with Lin's father, and his three uncles are also in this construction team.
The projects contracted by this construction team are relatively small, they are all ordinary peasant house buildings, the highest is not more than three floors, and the number of workers under them is not large.
The workers are all from Longtai, which is far away from the county seat, and generally rent houses on the outskirts of the county.
The work of the construction team is relatively hard, 7 to 7, two hours of rest at noon, ten hours a day, Lin Dad and Lin Ma eat out at noon, after eating, go back to the rented farmer's room to take a nap, continue to work in the afternoon, and go back to cook and eat by themselves in the evening.
He cycled to the new village, passed by the commissary to buy a few bottles of water, and got back on the road, finally stopping outside the three-story building under construction.
When I went in, Lin Dad was laying bricks on the steel pipe shelf, and Lin Mom was in the yard and concrete.
Three uncles are also there, and four aunts.
Say hello one by one, and each person scatters a bottle of water, Lin Zhendong walked to Lin's mother and handed her a bottle of peaches: "Mom, take a break." ”
Mother Lin put down the shovel and found a brick to sit down: "It's been ten days, why did you think about coming out?"
Shaking his head, he said: "I have something to go to the city, just now the motorcycle rode to the three forks of the high bridge, and was caught by the traffic police. ”
Dad Lin was on the shelf, and he didn't speak after hearing it.
Lin Zhendong's third uncle talked a lot and asked, "When did it happen?"
"Just now, I don't know what happened, the traffic police team investigated motorcycles and electric tricycles, caught one and arrested another, stopped a lot of cars on the side of the road, and they were all fined. ”
When Lin Zhendong's fourth uncle heard it, he said: "There was a car accident at the Xiguanguan crossing, a man riding a motorcycle with his daughter-in-law was hit by a large truck at the intersection and died on the spot. ”
Uncle Lin Zhendong nodded: "The border crossing is in the county seat, and the traffic police force is under their noses, if this kind of thing happens, it must be strictly investigated." ”
A group of people began to talk about it.
Lin Zhendong suddenly realized that he had hit the muzzle of the gun, no wonder he went to work before seven o'clock.
After staying for a while, he took his leave, and before leaving, Dad Lin asked him: "When you go to the city, do you have any money? ”
"No, it doesn't cost money, I have it myself. ”
"Then you go. ”
"Okay, Mom, I'm leaving, there are vegetables on the motorcycle, peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers or something, you take them back to cook, I buy more, give my uncle a little more." Lin Zhendong said another word before leaving.
"Okay. ”
He left, walked to the passenger station, took a bus, and went straight to Xiancheng.
More than two hours later, he walked out of the West Railway Station, went outside to eat a bowl of Lanzhou ramen, hailed a taxi, and finally arrived at the door of Ruifeng second-hand car company, before calling Brother Yong.
"Brother Yong, my friend can't come, the money was transferred to me, let me buy it, and I'm at the door of the company now. ”
"Oh, you buy it? That's fine, you come in. ”
Lin Zhendong walked into the six-story building, as soon as he entered the front desk, someone asked, he reported the name of Brother Yong, and the girl with bright makeup at the front desk took him to the reception room, poured him a cup of tea, told him to wait patiently, and then went out.
After less than two minutes, Brother Yong came over and stared at him: "Xiaodong, right?"
"It's me, hello, Brother Yong. ”
Brother Yong is in his early thirties, very young, and doesn't look like a big boss, but like a fitness trainer.
Tight black T-shirt, muscles that can't be covered, look at a kind of fierce temperament, hair shaved into a round inch to reveal green skin, no big gold chain around the neck, but a little tattoo on the arm, a watch on the wrist, a black jeans on the bottom, and a pair of black leather shoes under the feet.
The whole body is black.
"Let's go, go see the car. Brother Yong said a word, turned around and went out, and he hurriedly followed.
Brother Yong asked as he walked, "What kind of car do you want?"
"Second-hand pickup, with a load of about 2,000 catties, a budget of 40,000 yuan, and nothing else, as long as the quality of the car is acceptable, there is no problem, by the way, Brother Yong, if you pay today, when can you drive the car away?" Lin Zhendong asked in the back.
"The load is two thousand catties, in this case, only Qiling T100 single row, and Chang'an Shenqi F30 single row can. ”
Lin Zhendong doesn't know much about cars, but he has done his homework before coming, checked the information on the Internet, and knows a little about the situation of pickup trucks, the general pickup truck load is about 1,000 catties, and then there are fewer models, 2,000 catties of load, there are indeed only these two kinds of cars.
After chatting all the way, we soon arrived at the destination, a parking lot the size of a football field, and as far as the eye can see, all of them are second-hand cars, and there should be hundreds of them.
"This is the pickup truck your friend wants, this is Qiling T100 single row, displacement 2.2L, gasoline car, 112 horsepower, 4X2 rear-drive, five-speed manual, the new car sells for 52,000 eight, this car has been out for less than two years, this car is new, the mileage is less than 20,000, no accident, good maintenance. ”
"Generally, the depreciation rate is 20% in the first year and 10% in the second year, I will calculate it for you for two years, the conscience price, 35,000, you go, the formalities and licenses or something, I will get it for you. ”
Lin Zhendong took a look, and he couldn't see what it looked like, but looking at the appearance, it seemed to be a new car.
"Where's the Chang'an Shenqi?"
"It's right next to it. Brother Yong pointed to a car next to him.
"Chang'an Shenqi this car 1.5L displacement, gasoline car, 112 horsepower, 4X2 rear-drive, five-speed manual, new car 51,000 six, this car came out less than two years, this car is ninety percent new, mileage is less than 10,000, no accident, maintenance is very good. ”
"This car is worth 40,000 yuan for you, and I will take care of the rest for you. ”
Lin Zhendong looked at the two cars and compared them.
"Qiling T100 single-row load 995KG, Chang'an Shenqi F30 single-row load 1015KG, Chang'an this car is a little heavier, the body is tall, how about it? Brother Yong called the sales on the side to take two leaflets and handed them to him.
He looked at the parameters on the single page, and a lot of data showed that the Shenqi car was bigger, the Qiling car was heavier, the 100-kilometer Qiling was more fuel-intensive, and the maximum speed was also low.
All kinds of data show that the car of Shenqi seems to be better.
Moreover, Shenqi's car is Chang'an Automobile's, and Qiling's car is Jiangling Group's.
However, Qiling's appearance is higher.
So, Lin Zhendong already had the answer in his heart, and turned his head and asked, "Brother Yong, can I test drive?"
"Of course, do you have a driver's license?"
"Yes. ”
The sales handed over the key, Lin Zhendong immediately got into the car, and after starting, he experienced it in the open space outside, and after experiencing both cars, he finally made a decision directly.
"Just this Qiling, by the way, Brother Yong, can you get on the license plate of Chang'an?"
"Yes. ”
"So be it. ”
There is no need to bargain, and there is no need to check the vehicle or anything, the second cousin is more stable, and the friends he makes will not have much of a problem, and the acquaintance business generally does not deceive people.
So Lin Zhendong quickly paid the money to sign the contract, and the rest of the things were handled by Brother Yong's subordinates.
At the end, Brother Yong proposed: "You are a civilized cousin, that is, my cousin, it is not easy to come to the city, I am the east, have a meal tonight, no problem, right?"
Lin Zhendong subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Brother Yong didn't give him a chance to refuse, and waved his hand: "That's it." ”
After that, he drove around in the car, and it was not until the evening that he sat in Brother Yong's car, a Maybach, went to the hotel for dinner, and when he arrived at the destination, he went in to see, it was splendid, and sure enough, it was as its name was, Jinhui Hotel.
When he arrived at the box, he realized that there were other people, and the guest of honor was someone else.
Obviously, this banquet was not specially set up for him, or rather, Brother Yong invited others to dinner and brought him by the way.
After taking a seat, it didn't take long for the food to be served.
This is a table of whole sheep feast, roasted whole sheep is full of fragrance, greedy people drool, but few people eat happily, only care about talking and talking about business, others don't eat, he is not good at moving chopsticks, a night spent in the sound of talking.
By the end, it was eleven o'clock.
Before leaving, Brother Yong arranged a hotel room for him, and then went back to his home.
He went out to eat a bowl of fried noodles for ten yuan, licked his stomach, returned to the hotel room, went to bed, and fell asleep directly.
It's been a long time since I've slept normally at night, and this night he didn't wake up until three o'clock the next day, and he suddenly felt refreshed and refreshed.
In the morning, when he had nothing to do, he walked around the vicinity of Xiancheng and had a brief meal at noon.
In the afternoon, I was informed that the formalities and photos had been completed.
He returned to Ruifeng second-hand car to take his things, and after saying goodbye to Brother Yong, he drove directly and returned to Linxian on the highway.
When he arrived in Linxian County, it was almost seven o'clock, and when it was time to eat, he remembered the roast whole sheep last night, and he was a little greedy, so he went to the supermarket to buy ten catties of mutton and came back, passed by the kitchenware market, and went to buy a set of barbecue grills, charcoal and barbecue sticks back, and then went back to the farmer's house rented by Lin's father on the outskirts of the county.
In the yard, Mother Lin, who was preparing to cook, was a little surprised when she saw Lin Zhendong coming back with meat: "Why are you buying this?"
"If you're hungry, roast some mutton and eat it. ”
Lin Zhendong's fourth uncle was delicious, smelled the smell of mutton, walked out of the room, looked at the things he was carrying, and suddenly sighed: "This is ten catties, right? Not bad, yes, I can satisfy my hunger today, I haven't smelled mutton for a long time." ”
"Fourth uncle, there is a barbecue stove in the car outside, let's roast and eat it slowly tonight, and buy it when it's not enough." ”
"Cheng, Cheng, Cheng. The fourth uncle nodded again and again, took out the money from his pocket, and handed it to him: "Xiaodong, you go, buy a few bottles of Xifeng and come back, there is mutton to eat, you can't drink without wine." ”
"Okay!"
I bought a few bottles of wine and came back, the barbecue grill in the open space in the yard had been placed, the fourth uncle squatted on the side to make a fire and set off charcoal, holding a blower to blow, the fourth aunt cleaned the mutton, and now cut a skewer, Lin Dad and the eldest uncle sat around a table, half a bottle of wine was placed on the table, and Lin Ma was cooking cold dishes in the kitchen.
The yard was filled with smoke, laughter, and a lively scene.
"There is wine, food and meat, this life is what I want. Lin Zhendong felt very comfortable.
