My 1978 Hotel

"Send me a car?"

Li Feng had just taken Han Chaoxia and the two children back to the B&B when Wu Tong came over and asked to give him a car.

This guy scared Li Feng. These second-generation rich people really don’t consider the feelings of ordinary people like them who come from small peasant families.

"Yeah, the car will be here soon, it's an ordinary family car."

Wu Tong said with a smile. "Thank you so much for taking care of Grandma this time. Of course, a car is definitely not enough to express our gratitude."

"Oh, what a commotion."

Li Feng understood what was going on and stopped refusing. For the Wu family, an ordinary family car was really nothing. If he didn't accept their thanks, they would probably be unhappy. Wu Tong's face was full of smiles.

As for an ordinary family car, it didn't seem too ordinary. As for the high price, Li Feng felt it was impossible. The Wu family always had to consider Li Feng's status when giving gifts. And smashing a luxury car at the first sight seemed too tacky.

Li Feng roughly guessed that the car was worth tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan.

"What are you thinking about?"

"What do you say we buy a new car?"

Li Feng pulled Han Chaoxia to sit down and said with a smile.

"Buying a new car? No need. We don't use it that often." Han Zhaoxia shook her head. Although the family car was a bit old, it was still drivable. It was enough for daily transportation. There was no need to buy a new car. It would be a waste.

"Let's buy one. This car has been having problems for a long time and it's been a big hassle." Li Feng said. "Luckily, we didn't go on the highway today. If we had, it would have been a real hassle."

Han Zhaoxia was actually a bit apprehensive when she heard this. If something went wrong on the highway, delaying things would be a minor issue. The biggest worry was causing a car accident. "So, should we sell our old car?"

"Sell it."

A car that's been around for over ten years wouldn't fetch much. Han Zhaoxia had no idea what car to buy; she wasn't too particular about it; as long as it was a way to get around, it was fine. "Why not buy a better one? You'll have to change cars eventually, so you can't buy something too bad."

“It’s too expensive and not worth it.”

"It's a little expensive, but maybe someone will give me a nice car as a gift."

Li Feng spoke to Han Chaoxia in a joking tone.

"You are really good at dreaming. Who would give someone a car for no reason? This is not a pack of cigarettes or a bottle of wine. Even the worst car costs tens of thousands of dollars." Han Chaoxia rolled her eyes at Li Feng. He was really dreaming in broad daylight.

"One must always dare to think, maybe someone will give it to me."

Li Feng was quite formal at this point, but Han Zhaoxia still thought it was a joke. "Okay, stop joking. Have you called your parents yet? They might be waiting for us to come back for lunch."

"Just called."

Li Feng smiled bitterly. "But it's still too late. The chicken has been killed and the bacon is already cooked."

"I even bought some crucian carp yesterday, just waiting for us to get back."

"Oh, who would have thought the car would break down?" Han Zhaoxia said helplessly. "Tell my parents we can go back in a few days."

"Let's talk about it later."

Li Feng planned to check the car. All his things were packed. As long as he had a car, three hours was actually not far. The highway was quite unobstructed now.

"Where are the two little guys?"

"I'm going to feed the giant salamander."

Han Zhaoxia stood up. "I'm going to go pack my things."

"Don't clean up yet, maybe we'll go back later."

"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't know when the car will be repaired. I can't just borrow someone else's car to go back."

Han Zhaoxia rolled her eyes at Li Feng and was about to pack up the clothes and other things he had brought. Just then, someone came in and called him. When he came out, he saw that the car had really arrived. It only took a few hours.

"This is?"

Han Zhaoxia was a little puzzled, wondering why they were pulling a car. It looked like a Mercedes-Benz, quite large. Li Feng also took a look. "It's a Mercedes-Benz SUV. It looks pretty good."

"Boss Li."

Wu Tong handed over some documents with a smile. Li Feng took a look and thought, wow, this is really amazing. They got everything done so quickly. As long as he signed, the car would be his.

"The insurance takes effect at twelve o'clock."

"I played a temporary card."

Wu Tong said, "We could have registered the car directly, but we agreed to get a temporary license plate first. Boss Li, when the time comes, tell me which license plate you want to get, and I'll arrange it."

"no, I'm fine."

It wasn't a big deal to get a license plate, and since he wasn't planning on going anywhere else, a local license plate would be more convenient. Before Han Zhaoxia could figure out what was going on, the car was unloaded and Li Feng was holding the car keys.

"This is?"

"Uncle Wu and Aunt Wang gave me a car."

Li Feng said with a smile. "Not bad, it's still a Mercedes-Benz."

Mercedes-Benz GLC480, it looks okay. Li Feng opened the door and found it quite spacious.

"What do you say?"

Han Zhaoxia finally realized what was happening and stared at the boss in disbelief. "Is this car a gift for you?"

"correct."

Li Feng said with a smile. "Didn't I just say that someone might give me a car? And here it is, a Mercedes-Benz."

"You're not kidding?"

"No, the cars are all here."

Li Feng said with a smile. "Look, we already have the driving license, how could it be fake?"

"How is this possible?"

Who would give someone a Mercedes-Benz as a gift? She has also seen Uncle Wu and Aunt Wang. They are just ordinary tourists visiting the homestay. Why would they give you a Mercedes-Benz? This car must cost at least 300,000 or 400,000 yuan. Who has so much money that they don’t know where to spend it? They would just give someone a car worth hundreds of thousands of yuan.

"The car is right in front of us, how can it be fake?"

Li Feng smiled and pulled Han Zhaoxia into the car. "Come in and have a seat. This is a really good car. It's very comfortable to sit in."

"How can Mercedes-Benz be bad?"

Han Zhaoxia wondered if Li Feng had someone else buy the car for her, or if he was just joking with her. "Are you sure you didn't buy this car?"

"I told you it was a gift."

Li Feng said with a smile. "It's free."

"Really? You're not kidding?"

Han Zhaoxia stared at Li Feng. Seeing him nod, she observed for a while but couldn't detect any sign of him lying. "It really was a gift. What did you do? Why would they give you such an expensive car?"

"A little favor."

Li Feng thought to himself that his wife was quite cute. Her expressions changed so quickly, it was really funny.

"A small favor for this, Mercedes?"

Han Chaoxia didn't believe it at all. What a joke.

"Maybe Mercedes-Benz is nothing to them."

Li Feng couldn't say, "I'll use my popularity points to repair Aunt Wang's body, so she can live at least another year and a half." I'm afraid Han Chaoxia won't believe this guy even more.

"The world of the rich is beyond the comprehension of us ordinary people."

Han Zhaoxia didn't know what to say. A Mercedes-Benz was given away without a second thought. This was the world of the rich, or was she just too inexperienced? "This car will belong to our family from now on?"

"correct."

Li Feng said with a smile. "Drive it back to the city later. I don't usually use it."

"I open?"

Han Zhaoxia waved her hand. "Forget it, I don't dare drive such a nice car. I'd rather drive the old one. You just need a nice car to show off your B&B." This car would cost at least 300,000 or 400,000 yuan, which is enough to show off. "To show off, my B&B is useless now. Not many people come. But this is good. It makes me feel more relaxed." Li Feng said with a smile. "Come on, I'll drive you around."

"We'll do whatever we want."

Han Zhaoxia said this, but she buckled her seatbelt. Who doesn't like a good car? After a spin, it was quite stable. Li Feng was driving really well. "Not bad, right?"

"Good."

Han Zhaoxia nodded. The spacious seats were quite comfortable, much better than her old car. "The car is quite quiet."

"Of course not. It's a Mercedes after all."

Li Feng said with a smile. "It's still early. Why don't we pack up and go back directly? We can still make it in time for dinner."

"Ask the two kids."

Li Ran and Li Yi stared at their eldest brother, sizing up the Mercedes-Benz. "Dad, is this really our new car?"

"How's it going? Not bad, right?"

Li Feng looked at his big-headed son with some pride. He never thought that this kid liked cars so much.

"Yeah, it looks good."

"Yiyi also likes big cars."

Li Yi seemed afraid of missing her.

"Let's go pack up and go back to grandpa and grandma's house."

Of course, arrangements needed to be made for the B&B, but luckily, they had already been made, so there was no rush for anything else. I could deal with it once I got back. Han Zhaoxia had already packed the luggage and gifts, so now it was just a matter of loading them into the car.

“I didn’t expect it to be so spacious even with so many things in it.”

"A big car is good."

Li Feng muttered to himself, why does this car look a little bigger than the average Mercedes-Benz SUV? But bigger is better, a bigger car has more space, just enough to carry more things.

"Let's forget about this wine, shall we?"

"My dad doesn't drink."

Li Feng saw Han Zhaoxia carrying four bottles of Wuliangye. His parents didn't drink, and no one else in the family drank except him. "Take it with you. If you don't want to drink it, leave it for someone else to drink."

"That's difficult. They wouldn't be willing to give such good wine to others."

Li Feng was not joking. Normally, it would be considered good if the guests drank these fifty or sixty bottles of wine. Wuliangye costs more than one thousand yuan a bottle, and his parents would not be willing to spend that much.

"Then just leave it there. You can use it as a gift when you ask someone to do something for you someday," Han Zhaoxia said. "Look at you, neither of your families drinks much. Why did you buy such fine wine?"

“Where did I buy it?”

If I remember correctly, this wine was a gift from someone else. It was a gift, brother. Li Feng said Wuliangye tasted good, so he moved a few boxes. Li Feng gave a few bottles to my father-in-law. My eldest and third brothers-in-law also gave two bottles each.

After drinking two bottles, there was still some left, so Han Zhaoxia took it all away. "Take it with you. Such good wine is probably gathering dust at home."

"Hurry up."

I brought a lot of fruits and other things, as well as some supplements, and some clothes, including clothes for Han Chaoxia and the two children. There were so many bags and bags that it would be difficult to load them if the car wasn't big.

"Hold on, let's go."

"Set off."

The two little ones seemed quite happy sitting in the back seat, even able to watch some TV. "This is quite a high-end configuration," Li Feng muttered. "Let's go." Along the way, the two children didn't complain about being tired or asking for food or drink. Instead, they had a great time playing.

"This car is really nice. It even provides massage."

Han Zhaoxia also sighed. "Isn't this cheap?"

"I estimate it will cost 500,000 or 600,000 yuan."

At the beginning, Li Feng estimated that it would be 300,000 or 400,000 yuan, but now he is afraid that it will not be able to be kept. He did not pay much attention to it, but the price of Mercedes-Benz SUV is not too high.

"Five or six hundred thousand, what kind of help did you give to deserve such a huge gift?"

“It’s just a small favor, actually.”

Li Feng changed the subject. "By the way, I was so busy talking that I didn't even call my dad."

"No."

Don’t wait, eat dinner first. In rural areas, people eat dinner as early as five o’clock. It’s almost five o’clock now for this guy.

"I'm back. Didn't you say the car broke down?"

Li Fuan muttered on the other end.

"I bought a new car."

Li Feng didn't want to say that it was a gift from someone else, otherwise he didn't know what kind of rumors would spread in the village. Anyway, he didn't need this little money now.

"Buy a new car?"

Wow, Li Liang was confused as he listened to it. He must have heard the boss right. The car broke down, so he just bought a new car. Did this guy do that just to go home?

"Oh."

Li Fuan was still confused after hanging up the phone. Why did he feel that his eldest son's words were unreal? "What's wrong? What did the eldest son say?"

"They said they were almost on the street and would be home in about ten minutes, so they asked us to wait for them and have dinner together."

Li Fuan and Zuo Chuanlan said.

"Hey, didn't they say the car broke down and it would take a few days to repair it?"

Zuo Zhuanlan is in her sixties and her hair is already half white. Rural women have worked all their lives for their children and have long since overdrawn their bodies.

"He said he bought a new car."

"What?"

Zuo Chuanlan thought she had misheard. "You bought a new car?"

"Yeah, that's what the boss said."

Li Fuan was still a little incredulous. This guy, he just bought a car without saying anything. "The car broke down this morning, and he bought a new one this afternoon. It doesn't sound right," Li Liang's wife, Wang Xiaohui, muttered quietly.

"Li Liang, don't you think buying a car is like buying cabbage? Can the boss get it done in half a day?"

Wang Xiaohui's words were quite true. Buying a car took a long time for ordinary people. Even if the car was available, it would take them half a day just to go through all the paperwork. But Li Feng didn't buy the car himself; it was the Wu family who bought it, and the speed was astonishing.

"Dad, did you hear me right?"

Li Liang looked at Li Fuan. Li Fuan was also a little suspicious at this time. He wondered if his hearing loss had worsened and he had misheard. Otherwise, how could it be possible?

"Why don't you call back?"

There were four adults in the family, plus a girl from the third child's family and three children from the second child's family, all staring at each other.

"Let's cook first. Didn't we say we'll be there in ten minutes?"

Wang Xiaohui reminded in a low voice.

"Right, right, right. Let's cook first and ask later."

Zuo Chuanlan also got busy. She had just fried two side dishes and steamed some buns when the car arrived at the door. Li Liang, his daughter, and the three little kids from the second son's family came out early.

"what?"

Li Liang took a quick look and saw a black Mercedes-Benz SUV driving towards him.

"Dad, this car is so big."

"Yes."

The car is quite tall, and most importantly, it's a Mercedes, and it's new. Did the boss buy a new Mercedes? Li Liang was a little confused. I had never heard of this. How could he not say anything about such a big deal as buying a car, and such a nice car at that? (End of this chapter)
