"RMB 96,000. This car with the top version is more than 20,000 yuan more than my car. The extra money can buy three Fiats."

Although he knew that such a good car would definitely not be cheap, Tao Yumo couldn't help but be speechless when he heard Du Feng talk about the price.

What the elder brother just said is right. If you rely on work to earn wages, you will never be able to afford it in your lifetime!

Moreover, it is cheaper to buy it in Hainan. If you buy it from an automobile trading company in Yanjing, you will not be able to buy it for more than 200,000 yuan.

After everyone looked at the car inside and outside the house, Lin Chaoyang handed the car key to Tao Yushu, "Yushu, you can try driving it."

Tao Yushu immediately shook his head like a rattle, "I can't open it!"

"It's okay, just think of this as a motorcycle and just replace the handlebar with a steering wheel." Lin Chaoyang encouraged.

Tao Yumo's eyes were almost red with envy, "Sister, if you don't want to drive, let me drive."

Her idea was of course a fantasy. She had never driven her own car after buying it, so how could it be her turn.

What Du Feng helped purchase was the seventh-generation Crown launched by Toyota last year, which can be regarded as Toyota's masterpiece.

Both the driving quality and controllability are excellent. The most important thing is that this thing is an automatic transmission. This alone is far behind most cars today, and the difficulty of getting started is much lower than that of manual transmission cars.

Lin Chaoyang skillfully demonstrated to Tao Yushu several times, such as ignition, shifting gears, moving forward, reversing and other operations. Du Feng on the side was surprised and said: "Brother-in-law, you are more skilled at this craft than the old master. When did you learn it?"

"I practiced with a friend's car in Xiangjiang for a few days." Lin Chaoyang said casually.

Tao Yushu and Du Feng did not study it in detail.

Tao Yushu was used to riding motorcycles, but she was not familiar with cars and was a little afraid to operate them. Lin Chaoyang decided to go outside the Third Ring Road to teach her how to drive during the two days when he had free time, so that he could have three days of teaching and training.

Today is different from later generations. Traffic rules are not that complicated. There are fewer cars on the road and the road conditions are simple. There is no need to fight for parking spaces. You can basically drive forward, backward and turn.

As for the driver's license, Tao Yushu had two extra stamps when she took the motorcycle driver's license test. In theory, she is now qualified to drive a large passenger car.

After seeing the car, my family was still very excited.

For ordinary people in the 1980s, adding a TV to their home was a big deal, let alone buying a high-end car.

In Du Feng's words, the Crown is comparable to BMW and Mercedes-Benz luxury cars. Buying such a good car is even more of a big deal. You have to have a meal to celebrate.

Lin Erchun was preparing to eat, but Tao's father and Tao's mother were not there. Lin Erchun patted the hood of Crown and said, "Drive to pick him up!"

He said he was going to pick up his parents-in-law, but it meant more to show off. No one could understand Comrade Erchun's thoughts.

Lin Chaoyang had no choice but to take the driver's seat. Tao Yushu asked worriedly: "Are you okay? Don't show off!"

Asking a man "Can you do it?" is tantamount to trampling on his self-esteem. Lin Chaoyang started the car, put it into gear, and reversed the car in one go. He showed it with his actions. Don't you understand the quality of an experienced driver like me?

Tao Yushu felt relieved when he saw this. Tao Yumo shouted: "Brother-in-law, take me one! Take me one."

As she said that, she was about to get in the car, but was pulled down by Tao Yushu, "Your brother-in-law is going to pick someone up. While you are in the car, where will your parents sit?"

Tao Yumo had no choice but to get out of the car angrily. Tao Yucheng also watched Lin Chaoyang drive away with regret, and could only wait until next time to experience it again.

"This car is really nice!" he murmured.

Du Feng put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Brother, how about I sell my Warsaw to you cheaper?"

Tao Yucheng threw his arm away and said scornfully: "Your junk car keeps losing parts when it runs, and your tailbone can break even after sitting for ten minutes. Why should I buy that thing?"

His good intentions were regarded as the liver and lungs of a donkey, and Du Feng said angrily: "You still think it's rotten when I ask for food!"

"If you ask for food, it's free. Is your car free?"

Du Feng was speechless. He also wanted to use the waste. After all, the Warsaw cost him three thousand yuan.

"Otherwise, I'll sell it to you for 1,500 yuan! For 1,500 yuan, you can't even buy a motorcycle."

Listening to Du Feng's words, Tao Yucheng was a little moved, but it was a pity that he had no money.

His video parlor has been open for almost five months. He has just paid back the money borrowed by his sister and brother-in-law, so he has no money to buy a car.

Besides, if he wants to buy a car, he has to pass Zhao Li's test first.

Today is different from the past. Tao Yucheng's current family status is no longer enough to support his participation in such important decisions.

The white Crown was driving along Chang'an Street at a fast pace, heading west, and it felt so good to be free from traffic jams.

Thirty or forty years later, Yanjing would not be able to experience this feeling!

There are not many cars on the road now, and a considerable number of them are official cars. There are even fewer cars on Chang'an Street. The white crown attracts the attention of many passers-by.

All the way to Yanda, Lin Chaoyang and his wife parked at the school gate and walked into the campus.

Lin Chaoyang was an employee of Yanda. If he discussed it with the security guard, it would not be impossible to drive into the school, but it was really unnecessary to be in the limelight.

Walking to Langrun Lake Apartment, Lin Chaoyang explained the purpose of his visit, and Tao's father and Tao's mother couldn't help but refute everyone's interest.

Following Lin Chaoyang outside, he heard that Lin Chaoyang had parked his car outside the school. Tao's father nodded slightly. It was right to keep a low profile.

Before walking outside the school, Lin Chaoyang met Hong Zicheng, who was accompanied by a lesbian.

"Chaoyang, why are you free to come to school today?"

"Brother Zicheng! I'll come over to pick up my parents for a meal."

The two said hello, and Hong Zicheng introduced the lesbian next to him to Lin Chaoyang.

"Chaoyang, this is Ms. Naoko Kondo, a Japanese sinologist and literary critic."

Lin Chaoyang said hello to the two lesbians, and Hong Zicheng introduced him enthusiastically: "Ms. Kondo, didn't you say that you just wrote an introductory study of "Into the Guandong"? This is Lin Chaoyang, the author of "Into the Guandong"."

Naoko Kondo looks about forty years old, not tall, has shoulder-length hair, wears glasses, and has a bookish look. Her major is the study of Chinese literature, so she is very proficient in Chinese.

Listening to Hong Zicheng's words, Kondo Naoko's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Lin Sang, I've heard your name for a long time."

After shaking hands and bowing, Naoko Kondo's respectful attitude made Lin Chaoyang a little uncomfortable, and he quickly said: "You're welcome, Ms. Kondo is welcome to China."

"Thank you Lin Sang. I like your works very much. You are the best writer in Asia."

"Oh, I can't do it! I can't do it!"

Lin Chaoyang was just saying polite words, but he didn't expect Naoko Kondo to be too enthusiastic towards him, which made him unable to adapt.

Hong Zicheng on the side explained: "Chaoyang, Ms. Kondo studies Chinese literature, and her main focus is our contemporary literature. She appreciates several of your works very much.

Some time ago, she also wrote an introductory study about "Crossing the Guandong" and published it in "Chinese", which is a literary journal in Japan that specializes in introducing and promoting Chinese literary works."

After listening to Hong Zicheng's introduction, Lin Chaoyang thanked him again.

After some pleasantries, Lin Chaoyang took Tao's father and Tao's mother outside the school. He went to pick up Zhao Li and returned to Xiaoliubukou Alley. The family had a meal together as a celebration.

During the dinner, Lin Chaoyang said that he seldom went out and bought the car mainly to facilitate Tao Yushu's work. Tao's father and Tao's mother looked emotional.

Tao Yumo's eyes turned red with envy. She didn't dare think about a car, but since her sister drove a car, it wasn't too much for her to drive a motorcycle, right?

After lunch, she secretly found Tao Yushu and put forward her own ideas.

Tao Yushu bought the Yamaha 125 at Youyi Store. At that time, he spent more than 2,000 foreign exchange coupons, which is equivalent to more than 3,000 yuan. He has been driving it for more than three years. Now it can be sold for more than 2,000 yuan even if it is sold second-hand.

Tao Yumo has been working hard and taking care of children for the past two years. He has not earned enough money for half a second-hand motorcycle.

"I'll give you five hundred yuan first, and I'll pay back the rest over time."

Tao Yumo's use of "pay it back slowly" is very clever. You don't know when she will finish paying it off, but she will definitely keep paying it off anyway.

Tao Yushu didn't seem to notice her little thoughts, and said happily: "Forget it, you can ride it first."

Hearing this, Tao Yumo was overjoyed, "Really? Thank you, sister, you are really my good sister!"

She hugged Tao Yushu's arm and rubbed it hard, almost not hanging on it.

Tao Yushu smiled kindly and said, "We don't speak the same language as one family. Just take care of your nephew when you have time."

At this time, Tao Yumo did not realize the seriousness of the situation. Didn't she usually take care of Xiaodongdong less? Isn't this the same as picking up a motorcycle for nothing?

She happily agreed, and the smile on Tao Yushu's face became even more kind.

In the evening, Tao Yushu told Lin Chaoyang about the motorcycle, and he immediately understood Tao Yushu's plan.

"You are 'taking Xi'er to pay off the debt'! This girl Yu Mo seems to be quite shrewd. Why are you still counting the money after being sold by you?"

A motorcycle is enough for Tao Yumo to see his children in elementary school.

Before my sister-in-law's game console debt was paid off, she was put on a motorcycle again. Lin Chaoyang felt sad for her just thinking about it.

"She is just too greedy. But she doesn't suffer. If she works by herself, she will have to go without food or drink for four to five years before she can buy a motorcycle.

How great it is now, I rode it years in advance."

Lin Chaoyang joked: "Daughter-in-law, I found that you have the potential to be a black-hearted capitalist!"

Tao Yushu rolled her eyes at him, "You are a black-hearted capitalist."

While the couple was talking, Tao Yushu suddenly felt a big hand wandering around her waist. The warm and powerful touch made her body feel hot.

"Talking well, what are you doing?" she asked slightly panting.

Lin Chaoyang said cheekily: "Yu Mo is our biological sister, and I couldn't bear to see her wasting such a good time on taking care of children, so I decided to increase her workload.

Let’s add another younger brother and sister to Dongdong so that Yumo can pay off the debt as soon as possible and regain his freedom.”

Tao Yushu burst out laughing, "It's not official!"
