Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1798, Go home during Chinese New Year 2
"Uphill!"

With a roar from Gao Jiang, the gear was shifted to 1st gear, the accelerator was tightened, and the three-wheeled motorcycle climbed up the steep slope in front of him in a flash.

In the past, every time he went home, what Gao Jiang hated the most was the steep slope. He had to push it up when riding a bicycle. It's exhausting to make Gao Jiang tired.

After going up by myself, I have to go down to pick up my wife. Even in the winter, I can sweat all over this slope.

But now, the three-wheeled motorcycle just pressed the accelerator and went up easily.

"Haha, what a fast speed!"

Going up the slope, Gao Jiang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This three-wheeled motorcycle was more powerful than he imagined, and it didn't take much effort to go up such a steep slope, and it was done easily.

Look at the people climbing uphill on the road, all of them are tired and out of breath, especially those who ride bicycles, they are even more tired, even the four-wheeled carriages are now very difficult, and the people in the carriages have to get off , to reduce the weight of the carriage, so that the horse does not have to work so hard.

"Are you at Longshou Ridge?"

His wife Zhang looked at everything in front of her and said in shock.

When they used to go home, it took them a day to reach Longshou Ridge by bicycle. Every time they went home, they would spend two days and one night, and they would spend one night in an inn along the way.

But now, in just over 2 hours, they have already arrived at Longshou Ridge. Based on this speed, they will be able to get home this afternoon.

"Haha, that's right, don't even look at this, it's a three-wheeled motorcycle, the speed is fast, you lie down for a while, and we will be home soon."

Gao Jiang said with a smile.

The feeling of this three-wheeled motorcycle is much better than that of a bicycle.

The speed is fast and the horsepower is sufficient. The key is that even if you drive it in the winter, because there is a windshield in front and a sunshade roof, you will not feel too cold when driving a motorcycle.

The situation of motorcycles is on the spacious concrete road, thanks to Daming's infrastructure and road construction plans over the years, other places do not know, at least around the Beijing-Tianjin area, all prefectures and counties have already passed cement roads.

Now that there are three-wheeled motorcycles, it is much more convenient to travel.

Along the way, except for taking a short break in the middle of the journey, Gao Jiang found a tea stall and drank a bowl of hot tea. He didn't stop in the middle, so he returned to his hometown Gaojia Village early in the afternoon.

"Haha, the speed is fast!"

"It took us five hours to get home."

Parking the car at the door of his house, Gao Jiang looked at his watch, and arrived home smoothly in a little over five hours. This speed is fast and comfortable compared to riding a bicycle.

"Gao Jiang, are you back?"

"Yes, yes~"

"What kind of car is yours? It looks very different."

"This is the latest Land Rover motorcycle produced by the Mercedes-Benz Automobile Factory. It is very fast. It took me five hours to return from the capital."

"How fast?"

"That's right, look at this, this engine, it's the same internal combustion engine as a car, with great power, and I climbed up the big slope of Longshou Ridge in one breath."

"The same internal combustion engine as a car, it costs a lot of money, doesn't it?"

"Isn't it? It cost 150 taels of silver."

"My dear, 150 taels of silver, isn't this too expensive?"

"Isn't it? I've never seen so much silver in my life."

"You get what you pay for. After all, this is the same internal combustion engine and power as a car. You don't need to step on it, and you can start it easily. I come back all the way, and I don't take a break for drinking a bowl of hot tea on the way. .”

"That's, that's, I heard that a car costs a few thousand taels casually, and it's a good deal to buy a motorcycle for more than 100 taels of silver."

"Gao Jiang, you are promising and have made a lot of money. You can buy this 150 taels of silver."

"You don't even look at it. Gao Jiang is a supervisor in the factory in Beijing. He earns more than 200 taels of silver a year. He still has a house in the capital. It is said that the house is worth several thousand taels of silver now."

"Where, where, those are all rumors. I'm still paying my mortgage."

"Come on, come on, guys, try the raisins. The raisins are from the Western Regions, and so are the red dates. In the past, I couldn't bring anything with me when I came back by bicycle. This time, I brought my things with me when I came back with a three-wheeled motorcycle." Much more."

Gao Jiang said modestly, and also opened a large bag of various snacks from the rear compartment, and kept giving some to the people in the village, and patted the other's head when he met a child.

"Did you see it?"

"From now on, you have to study hard in school. Only after you have read the book can you be as promising as Gao Jiang, and buy a house and a car in the city."

The adults ate raisins and dried red dates, and then told the ignorant children.

As for the children in the village, while eating snacks, they looked at Gao Jiang and his motorcycle curiously. In their ignorance, they seemed to think that this was very awesome and beautiful, and they thought in their hearts. When I grow up a bit, I want to go to the city like Gao Jiang, and then come back in a good mood.

Gao Jiang's family came out soon, and they were very happy to see Gao Jiang's family come back, especially when Gao Jiang's younger brother learned that his brother brought back his bicycle as a gift to him, he was so happy.

Immediately rode a bicycle to the open space to study.

Having a bicycle is almost the dream of young people, but bicycles are expensive, let alone children, even adults are not available in every household now.

The news that Gao Jiang's younger brother had a bicycle spread instantly, and immediately attracted a large group of children around his age to gather around and clamor about learning to bicycle.

As for the adults, they kept discussing Gao Jiang's three-wheeled motorcycle.

"This three-wheeled motorcycle is really good. This carriage is very big. It is estimated that it can hold hundreds of catties of things?"

"In my opinion, it should be no problem to install a jack. As long as it is a flat road, it should be easy to move things loaded with a jack."

"It's really good for carrying things, saving you from having to carry it on your shoulders."

"Does this motorcycle burn gasoline like a car?"

"Yeah, so I came back with a big bucket of gasoline."

"People still live their lives now. There are bicycles, cars and motorcycles. No matter how bad they are, there are also horse-drawn carriages. It's not like when we were young, we used to walk when we went out, and we used to carry things on our shoulders. We were so tired that we were dead. That said, it's also very slow."

"Isn't it? Times have changed. Now there are cultivators for plowing, harvesters for harvesting, and milling machines for wheat. The flour produced is white and fine. When we were young, we used it all year round. I’m busy inside, and I still can’t get enough to eat, so it’s not like now, people don’t have to be so tired, but everyone can eat enough and wear warm clothes.”

"Yeah, the times are changing too fast, the current era is better."

"In the past, not to mention silver, there were not many copper plates. Now every household has a few silver dollars. The houses built by this family are also very beautiful."

"In the past, the houses we lived in were mud houses, and houses with bricks and tiles were regarded as well-off houses. Now red brick houses with reinforced concrete are popular, and they are beautifully built and durable."

"Come on, come on, everyone, drink tea, drink tea, this is tea from Fujian, and it's pretty good."

"It's the Chinese New Year soon, and I don't know when my son will come back."

"I guess it will be tomorrow. I didn't meet them on the way, or I would take them along the way."

"Calculating the past time, it is true that I will not be able to get home until tomorrow."

"It would be great if my son is as promising as Gao Jiang. He has a house in the city and bought a car. It will be much more convenient to go home."

"This is indeed much more convenient. If you want to come back in the future, you can come back directly. If you leave in the morning, you will arrive in the afternoon."

"So Gao Jiang is still promising. I heard that the houses in the capital have risen to more than 2000 taels of silver, and we ordinary people simply can't afford them."

"The housing prices in the capital are indeed rising higher and higher. I also bought it early. When I bought it, it was less than 500 taels of silver. After I bought it, I was scolded by my father. Money is better than building a house at home, saying that people always return to their roots.”

"It's also fortunate that you bought it at the beginning, and now it has doubled. Your house is more than two thousand taels of silver. How much is the house in this house worth?"

"That's right, my son is thinking about buying a house in the capital, but he doesn't have enough money. For a house worth more than 2000 taels, it's only enough to earn a few hundred taels a year."

"It's really expensive, and I can't afford it now."

"Why do you say that the prices of houses in the capital are always rising?"

"Can you sell so many houses built every year?"

"Hey, you don't know. There are not enough houses in the capital to sell. Every time there is a real estate, where are the crowds of people grabbing the house? In this capital, there are a lot of rich people. I don't know how many have money. Where is the money man?"

"Think about it, cars worth a few thousand taels a piece can be seen everywhere in the capital, and houses worth more than 2000 taels a piece are nothing to the wealthy people in the capital."

"Poverty is only for us ordinary people who are poor. Fortunately, in this era, even ordinary ordinary people like us don't have to worry about food, drink, clothing, and can build our own houses in the countryside. That's enough."

"If we can't afford a house in the capital, we won't buy it. It's the same if we build a house at home."

"Yep"
