A Young Woman's Heart

"Complete transfer? Including handling fees and taxes?"

"Yes, yes, yes."

Yu Liang narrowed his eyes, knowing that the car's price was actually lower than it was.

Although vans wear out quickly because they are used for carrying cargo, they are only five years old, so this price is quite cheap.

"Oh...this is it! It looks alright." Mo Wenli had already started walking around the car to look at it, and Mo Xueyao, who knew nothing about cars, joined in to watch the excitement.

At least you can tell how much this car has been used just by looking at its exterior.

There were many scratches and a lot of dust on it, but that didn't matter much for a silver minivan. After all, it was a minivan, and the main thing was that the contents inside were okay.

"What kind of car is this?" Mo Wenli handed the other person a Liqun cigarette and asked casually, like an old friend.

Liqun cigarettes are very versatile, and most importantly, giving them to a boss like this won't make you look bad.

So, for convenience, Karen Mok always carries a pack of cigarettes with him. And now that he's rich, he smokes Liqun cigarettes instead of the two-dollar Hongmei cigarettes he used to smoke.

"This is a Wuling LZ110. The exterior is a bit worn, but it doesn't affect its use. It's a minivan made to resemble Mitsubishi. The engine is still in good condition. It runs on diesel, which saves money and is suitable for transporting goods or something."

Can I take a look inside?

"Of course, the interior is quite spacious!" Boss Yang smiled, lit a cigarette, and opened the car door. There were some signs of damage to the goods inside, but it was clean enough and there was no strange smell. "The only downside of this car is that it doesn't have air conditioning. It was so hot when we drove here."

“It’s fine. Why would a minivan need air conditioning? Besides, at this price, it’s normal not to have air conditioning.” Clearly, Mo Wenli was quite satisfied with this.

Mo Xueyao sat in the back seat of the car, cranking the window handle with her hand. The car window was also manually cranked, which was normal. In this day and age, it would be strange if a van had electric windows!

"Xiaoyao, what do you think?"

"I think it's great! You can even sleep on the chairs in the back!"

Chapter 133 Finally, I Have My Own Car

Although Mo Xueyao's father had a junior high school education, he had always lived in the lower and middle classes. During his most difficult times, he even fell to the bottom of society. Therefore, he had a rough and unrefined air about him, having struggled for many years.

As the saying goes, "The most righteous are often from humble backgrounds." People like him trust their friends implicitly. As long as the other party says there's no problem, he won't even think about what the problem might be.

After inspecting the car and finding it satisfactory, he immediately went to the bank across the street and withdrew 8,000 yuan, completing the formalities on the spot using his ID card and driver's license.

It wasn't until almost the end of the workday that all the procedures were finally completed.

In general, when people arrive late, the staff will make various excuses to delay. However, Yu Lianghao was a section chief, and although he worked for the Agriculture and Forestry Bureau, he was still a high-ranking official. When he arrived, he exchanged a few pleasantries with his peers, and they gave him face and expedited the process for him.

After all, no one knows if they'll need help in the future, so it's always good to have more friends. Besides, it doesn't require much effort; it's just about saving face.

In this day and age, no matter what kind of car it is, as long as you can afford to drive one, people will call you "boss" when you're out and about.

In a sense, it's almost a symbol of wealth.

It has a similar meaning to bicycles in the past and motorcycles later.

More importantly, cars offer a lot of convenience. Vans, for example, can not only carry people but also transport goods. They run on diesel fuel, which saves money.

For Karen Mok, the type of car doesn't matter, as long as it runs smoothly.

In China, what car doesn't matter?

Even a supercar, I don't believe you can drive that fast in the city.

As a person, you should be more practical; being too vain is not a good thing.

So he was extremely satisfied. He didn't know how many years it had been since he had been this excited. Going back to the last time, it seems to have been when Mo Xueyao was born.

"Well then, Mr. Mo, farewell. If there are any problems with the car, just come to me." Mr. Yang politely handed over a nice business card, which made Mo Wenli a little embarrassed, because as a fruit shop owner, he had never printed his own business cards.

"Okay, okay, you can also buy fruit from my store, I'll give you the cost price!"

"Then I'll definitely go and patronize them, and try to get a good deal!" Boss Yang joked with a smile.

"Then how will you get back, Mr. Yang?"

"I can take a taxi or the bus myself."

"How about I give you a ride home?" Yu Liang patted his Santana. "Which way do you live?"

"Over there in Xihu District."

"We're in the city center now. Let's go, I'll take you home."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."

"It's nothing."

"How about I deliver it?" Mo Wenli said politely.

"No need. You just got the car, so you should get familiar with it first. The way back isn't far, so it's just right. If you get stuck in traffic in the city center, it'll be a real problem."

"Alright..." He didn't try to be stubborn and excitedly called out to Mo Xueyao, "Let's go, my girl!"

"Ah, it's so hot in the car—" Mo Xueyao plopped down in the passenger seat. "Luckily it's not a leather seat, or it would have burned the leather off."

“There are advantages to being cheap, right? It’s okay, it won’t get hot once it’s running!” The father adjusted the position of the fan that the previous owner had installed in front of the driver’s seat so that its airflow could reach the two people in the car.

Although the wind wasn't strong, it was better than nothing.

Because this van doesn't have air conditioning, it's a bit tough to get around in the summer.

A warm breeze blew in from outside the window, but as the car gradually picked up speed, the breeze became cooler.

"Oh wow! That feels good! It must be even cooler in autumn!" Mo Xueyao leaned against the window, stretched her hand out the window and waved it vigorously, as if trying to grasp the invisible air.

"Hey, don't stick your hand out, it's dangerous."

"I know, I know." She quickly withdrew her hand. "I just saw there were no cars around!"

"If Xiaoyao feels hot, you can roll down the back window," the father said to Mo Xueyao, who was sitting in the passenger seat, after glancing at the rearview mirror.

"Hmm, so why open the back window?"

"Open all the windows to let in some fresh air!"

"Tch, I can't reach it anyway..."

"Then why don't you sit in the back? It's more comfortable there."

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

Mo Xueyao nodded gently, while her father pulled the van over to the side of an empty road. Instead of getting out of the van, she crawled from the middle to the back, then sat on the right side, grabbed the window lever, and slowly rolled it down.

The biggest advantage of manual car windows is probably their stability and durability. Even without power, the windows can still be closed or lowered, making them suitable for various emergencies.

Unlike sedans, the back seats of minivans are more spacious than the front seats.

Although this van only has two rows of seats, there is still a lot of space in the back. Once seats are installed, it can also be used for passengers.

The original owner made some modifications, installing seats in the back as well, and the second-row seats can also be folded down.

If you fold down the second and third row seats, you can lie down and sleep without any problem.

Even without lowering the seat, the spacious seat allows you to stretch your legs out and can be adjusted forward and backward.

To some extent, this vehicle can be used as a campervan.

It seems that even though this is a 'cheap' minivan, the previous owner really took good care of it.

The saying "a car is a man's lover" is truly well-deserved.

Having your own car is like having a mobile home.

I feel very safe wherever I go.

Especially in this day and age, unless it's in the city center, there aren't many cars in other places, so traffic jams are rare.

"How does it feel?"

"It's not bad, but it's so hot and there's no air conditioning."

"Let's go to the car modification shop another day and see if they can install an air conditioner." The father nodded. "Otherwise, it's really hot enough in the summer."

"But it will consume a lot of gas, right?"

"That's true..."

"But I'll still install one, just in case I get heatstroke, it would be even more of a loss."

"Hmm, that's right." The father nodded, then realized something was off. "You brat, you think you can boss your dad around?"

"What? I was just giving you a suggestion, okay?"

The van didn't drive fast along the way, only about 40 miles per hour. Not to mention the occasional speeding motorcycle, even the electric bikes next to it could sometimes overtake it.

"Dad, you're driving way too slowly!"

"What's the rush? Better safe than sorry." Her father glared at her through the rearview mirror, annoyed. "You're still getting used to driving. Driving slowly is better than getting into an accident, right?"

"Tsk tsk, you look pretty tired shifting gears."

"I'm not used to it yet. Once I remember it, it will become an instinct. Right now, I still have to think about how much speed to go before downshifting or upshifting, and I also have to check what gear it is in now!" When they reached the traffic light, the father shifted the car back into first gear and nervously tapped the steering wheel.

This stretch of road wasn't actually that far, but it took almost twice as long as it had in the past.

The car drove into the alleyway leading to the fruit shop, then turned left into the overgrown green belt next to it.

This green belt has no fence and is level with the ground, so it's perfect for parking, since nobody cares anyway.

This is the back of the fruit shop. Sometimes my mother would come here to cook because she thought the fumes were too strong.

"Okay, we're home!" The father pulled out the keys and jumped out of the car.

Mo Xueyao opened the car door from the inside, only to find that it wouldn't open.

"What's wrong? Can't you open it? Oh, just flick that latch a little." The father said, pointing to a small black cylindrical object next to the car window.

She tried to fiddle with it and finally opened the car door.

The van's front doors are the same as those of a sedan, while the rear doors are sliding doors, which makes loading cargo more convenient.

Of course, getting out through the back door is also fine...

After getting out of the car, the father inserted the key into the lock and turned it once before locking the car.
