A Young Woman's Heart

Although there's no remote lock, at least locking the driver's side door will lock all the other doors. Otherwise, locking every single door would be such a hassle.

"Where's the car?" the mother asked, looking up as she prepared dinner.

It stopped there.

"Really? How about I go take a look?"

"Go ahead and go see it. Never mind, I'll take you. Xiaoyao, you and Wanyan watch the shop for a while!"

"Okay—"

Like a child showing off a toy, the father took the mother to the van to "admire" it.

Li Wanyan smiled gently at her, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and asked, "How is it?"

"It's great. It can fit a lot of people. It can easily fit our family of four. We can also travel in it because you can sleep inside. The only problem is that there's no way to take a shower or anything."

"It's already pretty good."

"Yes, yes, it's good enough to have a car. Now when I go to my grandma's house or go on a long trip, I finally don't have to change buses anymore! It was so tiring."

"However, driving takes a long time."

“It’s our own car after all, so we can be more free. We can even sleep in it or something.” Mo Xueyao put a hand on Li Wanyan’s shoulder. “We might even go camping together!”

"Aren't you going to close the shop?" Li Wanyan said jokingly, but her tone was very calm.

"Well, when we have a holiday, like... during the Lunar New Year, ah, it will be quite cold. It's definitely more fun to go camping in the fall or spring."

"How about it, not bad, right!" came the father's voice from behind. He and the mother were walking back together.

"It's alright, but there might be some internal problems that we can't see. You bought it way too readily!"

"You should be decisive, okay? And since Ah Liang recommended it, it's definitely fine, don't worry!" The father laughed and put his hands on the shoulders of the two girls. "Girls! How about we go for a drive in a few days?"

"Ugh, Dad, you have bad breath!" Mo Xueyao pushed his chin away with a look of disgust, her palms feeling a little numb from the stubble.

"Really? Then I'll have some gum."

"Dad, what did you eat? It smells like dog poop."

"Huh? How can you talk about your father like that?"

"I'm just telling the truth!"

Chapter 134 Going for a drive

Friday, October 18th.

In the early morning, Mo Xueyao and Li Wanyan arrived at the fruit shop by a combination of jogging and walking.

The shop had only been open for a short time. As soon as the two arrived, they took their change of clothes, went to the grocery store next door to borrow Grandma Jin's key, and then went to her house to take a shower.

When I returned, my father had also come back in a van loaded with goods.

When using the tricycle, I mainly replenish fruits that sell particularly well and fruits that don't sell as well but can be stored for a longer time.

There are also some fruits that we need to buy frequently, such as bananas and apples, which are specially transported over by others.

They can deliver right to your door with just one phone call.

But this definitely includes shipping costs.

Aside from the bananas, which are still from that farm and are the best, he can now transport all the other fruits himself.

If you keep operating like this for a year or two, you'll earn back all the money you spent on the van.

This car obviously couldn't have been scrapped after only one or two years of use.

Mo Xueyao, who had just returned from a shower, saw her father park the van at the door and begin unloading the goods.

"Wow, Dad, you brought in so much stuff! Even health supplements!"

"Yes, the van is big anyway, and it's not even fully loaded yet!" the father said excitedly. "Come on, lend a hand!"

"I just took a shower, I don't want to sweat..."

"I'll take you guys for a drive later!"

"Ugh—" Mo Xueyao pouted, "So Mom's all alone in the shop then?"

"It's alright, I made several fruit baskets last night, and we have enough to sell this morning. We'll be back this afternoon."

“Oh, you’re really enjoying yourself.” Mother came over to help Father unload the goods. “You go out for a drive while I watch the shop. How can there be such a good thing in the world?”

"Then why don't you drive out? You can't drive anyway."

"I'd like to go for a drive too."

"We can't just close the store, can we?"

"Let Yaoyao and Yanyan mind the shop."

Are you comfortable with them minding the shop?

"What does it matter? With Yan Yan here, there will definitely be no problem."

"Oh dear! Another day, another day! Today, let's take the girls out for some fun."

"Okay, it's a deal, you'll take me for a drive sometime."

"Okay, okay, you're all grown up, why are you still being so mushy? It's giving me goosebumps."

"Women should be able to act coquettishly."

"Ugh—" Even Mo Xueyao, who was watching from the sidelines, could hardly stand it anymore. "Mom, you're disgusting!"

"What do you mean by disgusting? How can you talk about your mother like that?"

"Anyway, it's pretty disgusting..."

Mo Xueyao remained steadfast in her opinion.

"You brat, you're asking for it."

“Exactly, how can you talk about your mother like that? Even if it’s disgusting, you can’t say it to her face,” the father teased. “Next time, say it secretly.”

"Alas--"

The goods were quickly unloaded; there were flowers, fruits, health products, and even lighters and cigarettes were wholesaled.

"Let's go, Wanyan, let's go for a drive!" Mo Xueyao got into the car first, choosing the more spacious back seat, and then waved vigorously at Li Wanyan.

"I think I'll stay at the shop and help out." She shook her head.

"What? It's nothing, it's nothing. It's rare to go out for a drive!"

"That's right, come on!"

"Okay, Yan Yan, go for a drive, it'll lift your spirits."

Since everyone said so, Li Wanyan stopped refusing and got into the car from the other side, sitting in the second row with Mo Xueyao.

The seats in these two rows are folded down because they were just loaded with cargo.

Simply remove the plastic sheet covering the chair and lift it up to sit down.

"Not bad, not bad, really not bad, the van is really nice~" Mo Xueyao rested one hand on the window, leisurely watching the scenery outside the window slowly recede into the distance, and smiled leisurely.

The weather wasn't too hot in the morning, and the breeze was much cooler than when I came back in the afternoon.

After entering the highway, the car gradually accelerated and finally reached a normal speed of 60 mph.

The breeze blowing in your face like this is the most comfortable, and looking at the scenery outside the window, it even makes you feel a little sleepy.

"This vehicle is quite stable, but I feel it's most stable when it's loaded with cargo."

"Why?" Mo Xueyao asked, snapping out of her daze.

"Because the body panels are relatively thin, the train is lighter when there is no cargo."

"Oh..." She nodded, glancing at the boxes behind her. "What's in there?"

"where?"

"In the box."

"Oh, those are some picnic supplies I bought at the hardware market next door."

"Huh? Are we having a picnic today?"

"Haha, let's make something to eat."

"Okay!" Mo Xueyao nodded happily. For some reason, she was particularly interested in picnics, even though the food might not taste as good as what she made at home.

Li Wanyan rolled the window down a little more: "Do you have any vegetables?"

"There are vegetables and meat, but it's cured meat." The father patted the steering wheel and said leisurely, "I'll take you to that place, that's where your godfather runs, Xiaoyao."

"Huh?"

"It's a big fishpond, the kind that's open to the public, where you can fish."

Wow, is this a dedicated fishing spot?

"Yes, it's very big."

"Dad, do you know how to fish?"

“Just kidding, what can’t I do?” the father said proudly, but it always seemed like he was bragging.

People with a rough and unrefined air about them also share a common characteristic: they like to boast.

The scenery along the way was not static; there were mountains, rivers, and houses, which gave Mo Xueyao a sense of peaceful happiness.

Her ambitions weren't actually high; she just wanted to live each day peacefully like this.

Although he's only a high school student, his thinking is sometimes like an old man's; he doesn't like seeking thrills.

"Dad, that noodle shop downstairs is closed. Has Grandma Jin rented it out yet?"

"Not yet," the father shook his head. "It won't be that fast."
