Chapter 18: Truck arrived, moving
After Su Ran and his grandfather had breakfast, they decided to go to the county to look at cars.

"Grandpa, there's nothing to do today. Let's take a day off and go to the county." Su Ran cleaned up the dishes and put the unfinished noodles into the kitchen.

"If you want to buy a car, you can go by yourself," Grandpa was outside chopping sprouted potatoes into small pieces with a hatchet, "I have something else to do."

Although my parents give grandpa 2,000 yuan for living expenses every month, the old man never uses the money.

They save money and grow wheat and corn to support themselves.

Now that autumn is almost over, wheat and corn need spring to be planted, so grandpa thought of planting potatoes in the greenhouse before the New Year, so that there will be a good harvest of potatoes in the spring.

At that time, not only could you make some money from selling it, but you could also store a lot of food.

"Grandpa, it would be boring for me to go alone, and I don't have any ideas. I don't know what car to buy. You are more experienced than me, so you can help me bargain, right?"

Of course Su Ran knew what kind of car he wanted to buy, and he couldn't bargain down the price much, so he said that just to convince the old man.

"Ah," the grandfather sighed, still because he loved his grandson, he left the basket of potatoes and the hatchet at home, "then let's go."

Su Ran laughed, knowing that this would work.

He knew the old man's character very well. He looked serious but was very kind to the younger generation.

It is the kind that is demonstrated through actions rather than words.

Su Ran even knew that his grandfather saved the money his parents gave him every month to buy a house and marry a wife in the future.

Maybe it’s because it’s getting closer to the end of the year and the weather is starting to get colder.

Su Ran even regretted calling the old man over.

But when Su Ran thought about the fact that his grandfather rarely went to the county, he felt that this was a good idea.

"Qingquan, are we going to town?"

On the way, many villagers from Qijiaqiao greeted my grandfather, and my grandfather responded with a smile.

Su Qingquan, this is my grandfather’s name.

When my father was a child, he asked my grandfather why he was called this name.

My father was still young at that time and didn’t know that the meaning of some names could be seen at a glance.

Just like Qingquan means holding power but remaining honest.

Grandpa didn't tell Dad why.

Perhaps this is the regret in grandpa's heart.

After all, no one could have imagined that his father had placed such high hopes on him with his name, while he had only been a farmer all his life.

This may also be the reason why my grandfather named my father Su Wunong.

"How is your dad's work these days? Is he busy?" asked the grandfather sitting in the truck.

"What can he do? He is just a small director and can't take care of many things. Don't worry about it."

This is what Su Ran found funniest.

Grandpa hoped that Dad would be an ordinary farmer and live a simple and happy life.

Unexpectedly, my father, who had great ambitions, made his way from a small village to a big city and became a street director.

Although they are not high-ranking officials, their lives and names are completely opposite.

Perhaps because of this, my grandfather no longer cares about the meaning of the name.

That's why he gave Su Ran this name, and he just hoped that he was an honest and upright person and would do good things no matter what he did.

There are more young people in different towns in the county.

Especially since the winter vacation is approaching, many college students have returned home.

There were people and cars coming and going on the road. Su Ran was riding a tricycle with an old man sitting on it, and he attracted a lot of attention.

What those people think is that the young man is handsome, but he has little money.

Su Ran didn't feel ashamed.

It was probably because he had more than 300,000 yuan on him, which made him feel tough from the bottom of his heart.

And he is no longer at the age where he lives for what others think of him.

The tricycle drove directly to the farmers’ trade car market.

There are many large agricultural vehicles for sale here.

Naturally, trucks are also indispensable.

"Little boss, do you want to see the car?"

As soon as the tricycle stopped, the boss ran out and handed Su Ran a cigarette.

"Well, I want to buy a durable car that can haul goods."

Probably because it is difficult for everyone to make money nowadays, the boss cherishes Su Ran, a customer who came to him.

He served him water and tea, and then showed him the latest models of trucks. "Little brother, if you want to transport goods and want to use it for a long time, then this latest Wuling is definitely suitable for you."

The boss smiled in a flattering manner, but anyone can say nice things.

"Can I go up and sit down?"

"of course can."

The boss opened the car door himself, and Su Ran sat in and held the steering wheel to experience it.

The seats are comfortable and the steering wheel is smooth.

Car air conditioning is a must, and the main control panel also has a large screen.

This surprised Su Ran a little.

The boss praised: "This truck has been selling very well recently. It can be used for both passenger and cargo. It is a great tool for self-employed people to transport goods. It is powerful and fuel-efficient. It is the ceiling of blue-plate trucks and a true pride of domestically produced trucks!"

Su Ran said to his grandfather, "Grandpa, come up and try it too."

The boss was very considerate and quickly helped the old man sit in the passenger seat.

My grandfather is still in good health and doesn't need help getting on the bus, but this boss has really put the saying "the customer is God" into practice.

You know, after Su Ran passed the driving test in college, his father said he would pay for him to buy a car and asked him to go and see the car himself first.

At that time, the fourth son's group ignored him as a poor student, which made Su Ran so angry that he turned around and left.

"How's it going Grandpa?"

"Well, it's pretty good."

Grandpa was lying in the car seat, looking very happy.

In fact, this kind of truck is not that comfortable and is not as good as a car worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, but my grandfather who is used to riding a three-wheeled vehicle thinks it is good.

Moreover, it is actually better to buy a pickup truck than a truck. However, Su Ran plans to buy a Raptor when he has more money, so that he can have both face and money.

"Wuling vans are really durable. I saw a video before where an old van was almost falling apart, but it still flew even though there was a big hole in the chassis."

"Of course. I, Lao Zhao, am very honest in doing business. If this car is not good, I will never recommend it to you. If you break it down within three years, I will just replace it with a new one!"

The boss dared to say it, but Su Ran didn't dare to agree. However, he was very satisfied with this truck. It could carry a lot of goods and it was fuel-efficient.

The price is only 67,000.

"Okay, let's take this one." Su Ran made up his mind.

The boss immediately smiled happily and took Su Ran to sign the contract.

After paying the money, Su Ran went to apply for a temporary license plate and related procedures, plus insurance, the total cost was almost 70,000 yuan.

On the way back, Su Ran and his grandfather lifted the tricycle onto the truck.

Su Ran felt that her decision to buy a car was the right one.

And it was the best choice he had ever made in his life.

Before coming, the grandfather and grandson were as cold as their grandson.

On the way back, it was so comfortable when the air conditioner was turned on.

Passing through Daqing Town, Su Ran found a few more construction masters.

After buying the car, the next step is to prepare to renovate the house.

Su Ran didn't hire a decoration company because that company would be a rip-off.

Moreover, you can find someone to renovate a small rural bungalow yourself, without the need for a decoration company to customize the entire house.

Things like grade are redundant to Su Ran now.

A few young workers recommended each other and quickly put together a water and electricity construction team. After agreeing on the price and discussing the desired effects, the workers started work that evening.

There aren’t actually that many things in my grandpa’s house. After putting all the big and small things on the truck, there’s still about half space left.

The renovation of the house and the laying of floor heating will have to be completed before the New Year. If everything is completed, it may be after the New Year.

So during this period of time, Su Ran and his grandfather could only live in a shed outside during the day and sleep in the car at night.

As usual, Chen Sisi came to play with Su Ran after dinner. Seeing that the house was being renovated, she suddenly felt that it was too condescending for the father and son to sleep in the car.

Chen Sisi knocked on the car window: "Su Ran, how can you sleep in the car?"

Su Ran rolled down the car window and said it was no big deal.

Chen Sisi rolled her eyes at him and said, "I'm not talking about you. You're young and you can sleep anywhere, but Grandpa is so old, is it okay to sleep in the car?"

The old man couldn't help laughing at this time: "Girl, when I patrolled the mountains before, I slept for three consecutive days in the mountains. What's this?"

Chen Sisi was going to be driven crazy by the train of thought of this grandfather and grandson.

"No, I think you should just stay at my house."
