Chapter 17 Have a car
Li Zonggui followed Li Xiaoyao's finger to look at the shiny and brand-new brown-covered tung oil truck, blinked his eyes a few times, burst into laughter, and reached out and patted Li Xiaoyao's head: "Xiao, that car? I'll buy it for you when I get rich." With that, Li Xiaoyao was about to walk into the unicycle pile. Li Xiaoyao grabbed him: "In the place where we worked earlier, I asked Mr. Zheng about the price of this car. We don't buy a new one, but an old one. We can afford it. Let's go and have a look. It must be cheaper than the place where we used to work. Go and have a look!"
Li Xiaoyao dragged Li Zonggui to have a look. Li Zonggui rubbed his forehead, sighed helplessly, pulled Li Xiaoyao, and went to the obviously cold place.
In a new and old calves and sedan chairs, an old green donkey with white-eyed hair and a dilapidated brown-covered calves stood very desolately in a corner. Next to the old green donkey, there was a middle-aged man with messy hair squatting, slowly nibbling on the hard black nest in his hands. .
Li Xiaoyao motioned at Li Zonggui. Li Zonggui took Li Xiaoyao and retreated to the empty space next to him. He frowned and persuaded in a low voice: "Xiaoyao, this car and donkey need five or six taels of silver, no matter how cheap they are. We have to go to Nanjiang City for two or three months. Xiaoyao, we don't want a car, huh? I promise not to let you get tired. Let's go and buy something else.
"Brother Guizi, listen to me, we have to walk for two or three months, but it will get colder and colder in the future. We still have to choose a remote road. On this way, we can't go to the village and rely on the store. If we have this car, you and the eldest brother can also suffer less. Besides, if we really meet on the road... As soon as we get on the car, people can't see it. With the car, we buy stoves, pots, and charcoal. Along the way, we can also eat hot rice and soup, don't you think so? Li Xiaoyao shook Li Zonggui's sleeve and asked softly. Li Zonggui was a little moved by what Li Xiaoyao said. Li Xiaoyao hit the iron while it was hot: "I also feel sorry for my brother. I have been on my way. What if I am tired and frozen one by one or two? Instead of spending money on medicine, it's better to buy a car! Brother Guizi, don't you think so?
Li Zonggui turned his head and stared at the old donkey for a while, gritted his teeth, and looked at Li Xiaoyao and whispered, "What you said is also reasonable. Let's ask, if five taels of silver can be done, buy it. If not, forget it is it?"
"Alle!" Li Xiaoyao simply agreed. The two circled, turned to the old donkey's broken car and circled around for half a circle. The middle-aged man next to him hurriedly held the black nest and stood up and greeted him with a smile, "Two guys, this donkey is always old, but he has a good temper. It will be done another three or five years!"
"This donkey has always been like this. Can he have a bad temper? It's just bad, and he doesn't have the strength to lose his temper." Li Xiaoyao muttered, and Li Zonggui patted her with a smile: "Xiaoyao, don't talk nonsense!"
Li Zonggui said, turned his head and looked at the middle-aged man and asked, "Is it your car and donkey? How much is it?
"liu guan•••••••No, fiveguan! Five and a half!" The middle-aged man stretched out his palm uncertainly, shrank his finger back, and said the price vaguely. Li Xiaoyao bent his eyes and smiled from the bottom of his heart. Li Zonggui's face was unreliable. He loosened Li Xiaoyao's hand, twisted his eyebrows, stretched out his hand and raised the white eye hair on the old green donkey and shook his head, and turned to the broken brown cover. Read it carefully before the car:
"Can this car still be used? Looking at this, I'm afraid it will fall off as soon as I move!"
"Brother, you see, this donkey is always old, but it's not old. After working for another three or five years, this car is strong! The car is very strong. You see, it's very strong!" The middle-aged man looked at Li Zonggui nervously and heard that Li Zonggui was picky about the car. He quickly raised his foot and kicked it hard on one side of the wheels to show Li Zonggui. The car was still strong! Li Zonggui did not look at the strong wheel frame, frowned, and only stared at the shaking brown cover. The middle-aged man followed Li Zonggui's eyes and his voice suddenly lowered: "Brother, this green donkey has been feeding it in my hand. What a good animal. I won't lie to you. Look at this car, brother, a good locust on the water. Wood, there is still copper leather wrapped here. It turns out that it is our owner's own car. Brother, it can't be any cheaper. Wuguan, Wuguan money, you can do it. It really can't be less!" The middle-aged man looked at Li Zonggui eagerly.
Li Xiaoyao looked at the middle-aged man and couldn't bear to look at Li Zonggui bargaining. He asked the middle-aged man with a smile, "This uncle used to drive a car? Do you want to sell this for a new car?
"No, I worked for a long time at the Sun's mule horse farm 70 miles away. This is not going to be a war. The horses and mules in the mule horse farm were taken away by the government. The master simply dispersed the mule horse farm and moved here to live in the county. After more than half a year of my work, I divided this green donkey with a car. The donkey and the car were pulled home. It's useless, so I have to sell it. At least bring some money home. The middle-aged man said bitterly. Li Xiaoyao's heart was sore and soft when he was told. He gently pulled Li Zonggui and said in a low voice, "Forget it, let's go five times."
Li Zonggui frowned, turned his head to look at the middle-aged man, and simply said helplessly, "Since my younger brother said it, five pieces will be five, but!"
The middle-aged man stared nervously at Li Zonggui, waiting for his 'but'. Li Zonggui pointed to the brown cover: "This car cover is useless. The uncle also knows that such a car without a cover, it is better to push a unicycle. Looking at you like this, it is also a good way to work. If you can repair this car cover for me I bought this car and donkey.
The middle-aged man turned his head to look at the brown cover and rubbed his hands to embarrass him: "This guy, it's very easy to repair, but there must be something. This brown cover can't be used. You have to replace it with a new one. Brother, this brown cover?"
Li Xiaoyao pulled Li Zonggui and said in a low voice, "Let's buy it and let the uncle help fix it."
The middle-aged man was overjoyed and hurriedly took over the words: "Don't worry, as long as there is something, it will be well repaired! It's easy to make a car now!"
Li Zonggui rolled his eyes at Li Xiaoyao and exhaled angrily. It's hard to say more. The three of them went to the car and handed over the silver and bought two brown sheds next to him. The middle-aged man went in and borrowed tools, simply knocked the car to the ground, neatly changed the brown cover, and put the car inside and outside, up and down. After checking and repairing it, I touched a few big money, bought a piece of lard, and wiped the wheels everywhere. Then I picked up the car and said with a smile, "Brother, don't worry about using it. This car just doesn't look bright, but it's a good car! It's strong and durable! I put those two old brown sheds on the car. Although they are not good-looking, they are practical. The car can be much warmer in winter and can't be exposed to the sun in summer.
