Zhou Jianhua took Zhong Min's bicycle home and was just in time for dinner at home.

When Zhou Jianhua washed his face and returned to the living room, his mother had already helped Zhou Jianhua put the meal on the table.

"Eat it while it's hot." Mother looked at Zhou Jianhua lovingly and said softly.

"Hmm!" Zhou Jianhua sat down as he agreed.

"Is it hard to do things outside?" Mother looked at Zhou Jianhua and asked with concern.

"It's okay, it's not too hard." Zhou Jianhua took a bite of rice and replied with a smile while chewing.

"Mom, don't worry! Brother won't work hard! Zhou Lihua interjected while eating:

"Every time he goes out, people have a car to pick him up, just like a big leader! How can it be hard?! ”

"Huh! You can become a big leader by taking a car?! Zhou Jianhua replied with a smile:

"It's just a minivan, and the leaders of the people are all in cars and jeeps."

"Brother! The van you're in is more beautiful than a jeep! Zhou Ronghua also interjected.

"That's it! Such a beautiful car, it must be more comfortable to sit in than a jeep! Zhou Lihua said enviously:

"When can I take that car to the provincial capital for a walk, it would be great!"

When Zhou Jianhua heard his sister say this, his heart couldn't help but move, yes! The two of them are so big, they've never made a car before!

Although the Changhe mini van is not as grand as a sedan or a jeep, it has its beautiful and practical side, and it is more comfortable to sit in, which can not only be used for both passengers and goods, but also more fuel-efficient. The fly in the ointment is the small horsepower. It's a little slower. It can't be loaded with too heavy things, but it's okay to install some electronic components, accessories or something, and with the expansion of business in the future, I'm afraid that I often have to run back and forth between some towns, if there is such a car, it is quite convenient.

"Lihua, you study hard, study well, brother is happy. When it's time to buy a car and take you to the provincial capital! Zhou Jianhua said with a half-truthful smile.

"Buy a car?!" Zhou Lihua and Zhou Ronghua exclaimed in disbelief, and their eyes were about to pop out.

"Hmmm! When my brother has money, I'll buy one! Zhou Jianhua smiled again and said:

"Really?!" Zhou Lihua asked excitedly with her big watery eyes.

"Brother, when will you have so much money?" Zhou Ronghua also asked.

"Huh...... It's not true, it depends on how you do in the exam! Zhou Jianhua looked at Zhou Lihua and replied with a smile, and then turned his head to Zhou Ronghua and said:

"When your sister can get into the top 5 in the class, my brother will have so much money!"

"Brother! How do you talk so much?! Zhou Lihua pouted and became more serious:

"I used to say that you would take me to the provincial city to play in the top 10 exams, and now I say that the top 5 ......"

"I haven't changed!" Zhou Jianhua explained:

"I mean, if you get the top 10 in the exam, I'll take you to the provincial city to play! Now what I'm saying is that if you do better in the exam and can get to the top 5, I'll buy a car and take you to the provincial city to play! ”

"Do you really count when you talk?!" Zhou Lihua stared at Zhou Jianhua with her eyes and asked in a deep voice.

"Of course it counts!" Zhou Jianhua glanced at his sister and said leisurely:

"I'm afraid you won't be able to pass the test!"

Zhou Lihua stared at Zhou Jianhua. Biting his lip, he nodded slightly, and said:

"Humph! Wait and see! ”

Zhou Lihua stopped talking after speaking. He ate quickly with his head bored.

Zhou Jianhua looked at Zhou Lihua with interest and asked with a smile:

"What's wrong with you?"

"Not much!" Zhou Lihua replied while snoring and eating hard.

"Then why are you eating so fast?" Zhou Jianhua asked again.

"Hurry up and finish eating and reading!" Zhou Lihua said while eating:

"I'm going to hurry up and study hard and earn a car back!"

"Hahaha! I didn't say I bought the car for you! Zhou Jianhua couldn't help but smile and said.

"What you buy is ours, and ours is mine!" Zhou Lihua said while eating without raising her head.

"Hey! This girl ......" Zhou Jianhua smiled and looked away, and also took a bite of food and asked:

"It's been three days since I started, right? How does it feel to be at school? How are your teachers and classmates okay with you? ”

"Well, it's all good!" Zhou Lihua replied.

"Can you understand what the teacher is saying?" Zhou Jianhua asked again.

"No problem, you can understand!" Zhou Lihua replied briefly.

"Will you take a test when school starts?"

"I took the exam yesterday morning, and there were 53 people in the class, and I was 23! There are more than 300 people in 6 classes in the whole grade, and I am 113, and the ranking of the results came out this afternoon. Zhou Lihua replied.

"Yes!" Zhou Jianhua couldn't help but admire his sister, and said that this little girl's learning ability is indeed extraordinary! It's only been a month of study, and it's worth a semester for others, and it's a piece of reading material! Fortunately, she can continue to study, otherwise she will really bury a talent.

"Brother, just wait and see!" Zhou Lihua raised her head, glanced at Zhou Jianhua, and said confidently:

"I'm definitely going to get the top 10 at the end of the term, and it's very likely that I'll get the top 5! I suggest you save up for a car now! Don't go back! ”

"Okay! I'd like to see how good my sister really is! Zhou Jianhua replied, saying that if this girl is ruthless, she may really be able to rush to the top 5.

Zhou Lihua quickly finished the rice in the bowl, wiped her mouth, and said, "You eat slowly, I'm going to read!" With that, he immediately stood up and walked out of the living room.

Several people raised their heads and silently looked at Zhou Lihua, who turned around and went out, and no one spoke. Soon, Zhou Ronghua also finished eating and went back to the room.

Seeing that the two little ones were gone, the mother asked in a low voice:

"Jianhua, do you really want to buy a car?"

"Hmmm! Yes, there is this idea. Zhou Jianhua replied while eating.

"Jianhua, how much does it cost to buy a car! Even if you have that money, you can't buy it! The mother couldn't help frowning and said worriedly:

"That thing can't be used as food, and it can't be used as clothing, why waste that money?! Besides. You're not a leader. Buy a car and put it there to show off. People will gossip! If there is another movement to "cut the tail of capitalism" one day, we will be the first to suffer! ”

"Mom, don't worry! There won't be anything like that again. Zhou Jianhua smiled and comforted his mother:

"That era has completely passed, the country has established a policy of reform and opening up, and there will be no going back. Moreover, I didn't buy a car to show off, our factory needs to have a car to do things. ”

"Yikes! I can't tell! The mother insisted:

"Over the years, how many times have policies changed! You are young and have not experienced it. If you don't understand these things, there's nothing wrong with you listening to your mother! Don't be too ostentatious! Many people in the field have asked me what you are doing now, whether you have made a fortune, why there is always a car to pick you up, and bought such a good bicycle for Lihua, and the radio, everyone is staring at it! ”

"Mom, it's okay! Let's usually try to keep a low profile, this car still has to be bought, and it's too inconvenient to not have a car. Zhou Jianhua replied:

"In the future, I often have to pull goods back from the provincial capital. I can't really do without a car......"

"Why don't you listen to persuasion?!" Mother was a little anxious:

"Jianhua, let me tell you, although I don't have much culture. I don't know a few words, but I'm from here, and the bridge I crossed is longer than the road you walked! If you don't listen to me, you'll be the one who will be unlucky in the future! ”

Zhou Jianhua sighed and stopped talking.

Zhou Jianhua didn't want to fight with his mother anymore, he fully understood the concerns and worries of their generation. To be honest, if I hadn't been a traveler and already knew the future development trend of the country, as an ordinary person at the bottom of society, no matter how smart, insightful, and capable I was, I would never dare to risk setting up a factory or buying a private car. Not to mention his mother, even if he was replaced by Secretary Cai of Tonglin Commune or other ordinary officials, he might not dare to do this, judging from the country's development process for decades, their current worries are not unreasonable.

Zhou Jianhua suddenly remembered that in this era, the state does not allow private transportation, and it is still a question whether private people can buy cars! Moreover, the driver's license is also a problem, the drivers in this era are all sent by the unit to learn to drive, Zhou Jianhua's impression, I have not heard of anyone who can take the driver's license test by himself! He patted his head depressedly, sighed again, and said in his heart that what he had just promised his sister might not come true.

"Jianhua, did you listen to what your mother told you?!" The mother still persisted in her persuasion.

"Okay, Mom, I'll put this car purchase thing aside for a while, and I'll see if there's any other way in the future...... Zhou Jianhua replied unwillingly.

When her mother saw Zhou Jianhua say this, although she was still worried, she couldn't help but say nothing more.

She understood her son's ability during this time. What her son has said and done during this time, she has heard it in her ears and seen in her eyes, the promises her son has made, the things he should have promised, and the things he is doing now, once felt so unrealistic in her heart, but these promises and things, without exception, have all been fulfilled one by one, although she doesn't know how much it costs to buy a car, but since her son said that he wants to buy it, then he must have the ability to buy it, so she is really worried now.

"By the way, your cousin came to look for you the afternoon you left." The mother suddenly remembered that Lin Dongming, the eldest son of the cousin of Tonglin Commune, had come, so she hurriedly told Zhou Jianhua:

"He said he wanted to ask you some production problems, and when he saw that you were not there, he said that he would rush back to work, and he left quickly."

"Oh! Then I'll call him tomorrow and ask him what's the matter. Zhou Jianhua replied.

Zhou Jianhua estimated that his cousin was sent by Fan Hongquan, the director of Tonglin Machinery Repair Factory, otherwise he would not have come over during working hours. Although Zhou Jianhua had already told Cai Zhongming, secretary of the Tonglin Commune, and Chen Guodong, director of the Management Committee of the Tonglin Commune and director of the Tonglin Coal Mine, he had not told the people of the Tonglin Machinery Repair Factory, and it was estimated that the first and second leaders of the Tonglin Commune did not think to tell them, so Fan Hongquan would send his cousin to look for him instead of calling him. But that's fine, I really have something to say to my cousin in person. (To be continued......)
