Chapter 793 Why Don't You Buy A Car?

Kailinna spread her hands and said: "Look, you are completely deceiving yourself. It is normal for a man to like women, even if he likes many women, it is also normal. It's just that the relationship is different. Although I don't agree You cheat after you get married, but I’m not opposed to having more girlfriends before you get married, as I once said—you haven’t tried it, how do you know who is the most suitable for you?”

Niu Xiaoqiang shook his head: "You also said just now that Chinese people have different ideas from Americans, and we are not able to accept this kind of behavior."

Karina shrugged: "In this case, you can make your own decision. Can you put this question aside and teach me how to cook? I think Chinese food is delicious, and I want to learn this skill."

Niu Xiaoqiang agreed, and led Kailinna into the kitchen.

Karina has never cooked since she was a child, and she looks very unfamiliar.Niu Xiaoqiang was patient and started teaching from choosing and cutting vegetables.I was busy until 12:30 noon, and I barely finished three dishes.

These three dishes are all made by Kailina, and the taste can be imagined.During the meal, Kailinna kept apologizing: "I'm sorry, my skills are still poor, and the fried dishes are really unpalatable, please forgive me."

Niu Xiaoqiang didn't mind much: "It doesn't matter, everything has a process. You have just started to learn how to cook. It's normal that it doesn't taste good. After you master the skills, it will change."

Karina nodded firmly: "Well, I think so too, you have to continue to teach me until you teach me, so that we can take turns to cook and share housework together in the future."

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded and said nothing. After lunch, Kailinna insisted on washing the dishes.Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't refuse, so he had to stand aside as a guide.As a result, before the tableware was cleaned, the phone in the living room rang.

Niu Xiaoqiang said hello, walked into the living room and connected the phone, Watson's voice came from the other end: "Is it Xiaoqiang?"

"It's me, Professor, what do you want me to do?"

"Well, are you free now, can you come to the school? I encountered a little problem when programming, and I want to ask you to come and help."

"Okay, I'm going to school now."

After hanging up the phone, Niu Xiaoqiang walked into the kitchen and explained the situation to Kailinna.Kailinna waved her hand: "Go and get busy, I can do it by myself."

"Okay, then I'll rush over now."

Just as Niu Xiaoqiang was about to turn around and leave, Kailinna suddenly said, "Aren't you going to buy a car?"

Niu Xiaoqiang was slightly taken aback: "Buy a car?"

"Yes, you will definitely be very busy in the future. If you have a car, you can save a lot of travel time. Otherwise, it will be a waste of time to always hail a taxi. If you can't hail a taxi, it will be even worse."

In Niu Xiaoqiang's eyes, a car is a very expensive item. He has no money and no driver's license now, so he doesn't consider buying a car.Now after listening to Kailinna's words, Niu Xiaoqiang began to take this issue seriously.

He thought for a while and said, "The car is a bit expensive. I don't have the money to buy it for now. Besides, I don't have a driver's license. Even if I want to buy it, I have to wait until I get the driver's license."

Karina explained: "You can buy a second-hand car for temporary use, or you can buy a new car when you have money. Used cars are very cheap. You can buy a model in good condition for less than three thousand dollars. As for the driver's license, this is even easier for you, as long as you submit the application, you must pass the test easily, and it will take no more than half a month."

Niu Xiaoqiang seemed a little surprised: "You can buy a used car in good condition for less than three thousand dollars? Is it true?"

Karina nodded seriously: "Of course it is true. Cars in the United States are not very expensive. Even a new car can be bought for [-] dollars. Of course, this is just a relatively ordinary model. If it is a high-end model , it will cost twenty to thirty thousand dollars."

Niu Xiaoqiang still had more than 1 US dollars in his hand. Hearing this, he couldn't help but be moved: "Are you familiar with the second-hand car market?"

Karina smiled slightly: "I bought that car in the second-hand car market, and it only cost us $[-] after all the procedures were completed."

The car that Karina got into an accident was made by General Motors. It is in very good condition and looks like it is probably new.It's a pity that the engine has been crashed and scrapped, and there is no value for maintenance. After the insurance company paid her a sum of money, the car was scrapped directly.

Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't help asking: "I've always been curious about this question. You used to have such a high annual salary, why didn't you have money to buy a new car? Later, your credit card was suspended by your mother, and you even have problems with your life. How much do you earn? Where did all that money go?"

Kailinna's annual salary is tens of thousands of dollars. Even if she only worked for one year, the salary is very considerable. However, after her car accident, her life fell into a difficult situation immediately, which seemed very incomprehensible to Niu Xiaoqiang.

Karina smiled and said: "Americans don't have the habit of saving money. On the contrary, they are used to spending in advance. Although my salary is very high, I used to borrow money from the bank when I was studying, and the money I earned was basically used to repay the money. loan."

Niu Xiaoqiang asked curiously, "Why did you need a loan when you were studying?"

"Tuition fees are paid with loans. The tuition fees of American universities are very high. At the beginning, I didn't get a scholarship, so I had to pay my tuition fees with loans. After I got a scholarship, I stopped taking loans. These loans need to be repaid. "

Only then did Niu Xiaoqiang understand, and he nodded with a smile: "The United States is indeed very different from China. If it is in China, the tuition fees must be paid by the parents, but the United States is different. Even if the parents are rich, they will let their children take out loans. Raising tuition fees is a bit unbelievable in China."

When he said this, he changed the subject: "I will consider buying a car. To be honest, it is really inconvenient to not have a car in the United States."

There are not so many buses in the United States, and the residences of residents are relatively scattered, and they mainly rely on private cars for travel.Especially those who live in the suburbs are often twenty or thirty kilometers away from the city center, and it is difficult to move without their own car.You can also call a taxi, but the fare is a bit expensive. It’s okay for a short distance. If it’s a long distance, it’s not worth it.

"You go ahead, I'm leaving."

"Well, pay attention to safety on the road."

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded with a smile, put on his backpack and left the house.He didn't hail a taxi and was going to walk there.

In less than 10 minutes, Niu Xiaoqiang walked to the school.
