Rebirth 2004: I can make money by writing.

Chapter 113 Hao Jianjun's Pride

The sun shines through the clouds onto the earth, and a brand new Porsche Cayenne slowly drives into the quiet Hualong Village.

Dozens of villagers gathered in twos and threes under the shade of the big banyan tree, chatting about family matters, sharing village gossip, and laughing constantly.

The New Year is approaching, and more villagers are gathering under the banyan tree than usual. Their topics have also turned from trivial matters in the village to those migrant workers working outside, chatting about what each family does outside and how much money they earn.

Migrant workers returning from work outside the province usually pass by here, and it is difficult to avoid this group of gossipy villagers.

If a girl goes out to work and dresses beautifully and looks a bit seductive, she will inevitably be guessed by the villagers.

Of course, these women have very high standards and look down on the countryside, so they generally don't go home for the New Year easily.

Suddenly, a sky blue Porsche drove past, breaking the tranquility of the countryside and attracting the attention of the villagers.

"Whose car is this with out-of-town license plates?"

The villagers speculated one after another, their faces full of curiosity and confusion.

"Maybe you came here to play?"

"Could it be Hao Qiang? Didn't he make a fortune? Judging from the direction the car is heading, it seems to be his house."

"I didn't see the person in the driver's seat clearly, but he was a young and handsome guy."

This Porsche Cayenne did not stay, but its appearance has left a deep impression in the hearts of the villagers.

They continued to gossip, and the topic had turned to the luxury vehicle just now.

"That's a Porsche, worth millions!" said the knowledgeable villager.

"Oh my god, a car this expensive could be used to build several buildings."

"The annual depreciation cost is 100,000 yuan, which is enough to build a building."

However, at this moment, a young worker said calmly: "I thought it was some other car, it's just a Porsche, nothing special!

Last year, I was at a car wash and had the opportunity to wash one.”

As soon as he finished speaking, many villagers burst into laughter.

"My son has a car like this, and it doesn't need any gas, it just uses AAA batteries."

"Yeah, it's not as good as my ox cart. It just eats grass and doesn't need to be refueled. That's why I'm too lazy to buy a car."

"Such an expensive car, with a villa or a swimming pool inside, is not as good as my uncle's van, which can be used to transport goods."

Some villagers just like to chat casually, as long as they are happy. They are not making fun of people who drive Porsches. In fact, everyone knows that they are very envious and a little jealous.

At this time, Hao Qiang drove to his building and found that the weeds in front of the building were gone. Instead, it was turned into a concrete parking lot with an area of ​​70 to 80 square meters. Faucets and water pipes were installed near the corner of the building.

The gate also looked brand new, allowing cars to drive into the spacious yard without any obstruction.

This makes it much easier to turn around and park the car, so he temporarily parked the car in the parking lot.

In the kitchen, Hao Jianjun was practicing making hot pot base when he suddenly heard the sound of a car engine and hurried out the door to take a look.

When he saw his son's car, a happy smile appeared on his face.

Liu Fengqing also heard the sound and walked out of the house. Seeing her son, she asked with concern, "Are you tired from driving? Are you hungry?"

"Mom, I'm not hungry. I just came back after eating outside."

Hao Jianjun's eyes fell on the car body and noticed some mud and dust: "The car is a bit dirty, let me wash it. I have set up a parking lot and a faucet for it."

"Dad, it's okay if we don't wash it. Maybe the next rain will wash it clean." Hao Qiang said he didn't care. After he bought it, he did like to keep it clean and often drove it to the car wash to wash it.

Less than two months after buying the car, the novelty gradually wore off and he became lazy.

"It's too dirty. It still needs to be washed. I can just wipe it with a towel. There's no car wash in town, so you have to wash it yourself." Hao Jianjun shook his head. A car worth millions needs to be taken good care of. He turned to his son and said, "You go ahead and do your work. I'll leave this to you."

"It's up to you. Add some detergent to make it wash faster." Hao Qiang said with a smile. For his father, maybe washing the car is a pleasure.

If I don't let him wash, he will probably feel unhappy.

Hao Qiang just took the chickens and ducks out of the trunk and did not move the luggage and New Year's goods for the time being. His mother even asked him where he bought the green-headed duck, which weighed seven or eight kilograms. He had good taste.

"I sent Wu Hai home. His mother gave him chickens and ducks."

Liu Fengqing scolded, "Why are you taking other people's things?"

"I gave him some New Year's goods, but his mother just forced him to give her a chicken and a duck. I wanted to give him two more."

"Oh, reciprocity is good." Liu Fengqing smiled with relief after hearing this. She thought her son didn't know how to do things.

Hao Jianjun first checked whether the car door was closed, then picked up the water pipe and gently turned the faucet. Water gushed out, intending to wash away the mud and dust on the car first.

Hao Qiang watched his father happily washing the car, and he was as happy as when he was a child getting a toy.

Perhaps, for him, the car is a symbol of his family's hard work and improved life, and it is also a face-saving project.

"Son, do we need to burn paper and pray for the car?"

After Liu Fengqing put the chickens and ducks into the cages at home, she went out again and asked her son who was standing on the doorstep, "I see people hang red ribbons on the rearview mirrors when they buy new cars."

When local rural people buy a new car, they set off firecrackers, burn incense and paper to pray for blessings.

Such customs are not uncommon in rural areas. They are just for blessing peace.

For many rural families, a car is not only a means of transportation, but also a symbol of family wealth and social status.

In some rural areas, after buying a new car, you may not only have to treat your guests to a meal, but there are also some strange customs.

For example, some villagers may catch a big rooster, cut the rooster's neck with a knife and drip a few drops of blood in front of the new car.

Hao Qiang wasn't too keen on these traditional ceremonies: "Mom, there's no need to bother. Don't hang red ribbons, it's too tacky. People will think we've never seen a car before.

We will have more and more new cars in the future. They are just a means of transportation."

Liu Fengqing frowned and said, "Son, we still need to do some rituals to ensure safety. Please follow the old man's arrangements."

Hao Jianjun, who was washing the car, also said, "Son, if you think the red ribbon is ugly, then we won't hang it. But the ceremony still needs to be done. I agree with your mother."

"Okay, when you set off firecrackers, just stay away from the car. Don't burn the car as soon as you get back. It will be inconvenient for you to travel without a car." Hao Qiang had no objection when he heard that there was no red ribbon. He let his parents do whatever they wanted.

After saying that, he wanted to see how the house was decorated.

The exterior walls of the building are not tiled, just covered with mortar.

Just as Hao Qiang was about to step into the yard, two little wolfhounds suddenly rushed forward, barking non-stop.

Seeing this, Liu Fengqing quickly stepped forward and said soothingly, "Wangcai and Ping'an, we are family."

After hearing what their owner said, the two puppies immediately quieted down, as if they understood something.

Liu Fengqing smiled gently: "You said you wanted to buy two wolfhounds to guard the house, and after your father came back, he went to buy some puppies.

We don’t know how to buy or install high-tech cameras, so you’ll have to figure it out on your own.”

"Well, okay, I'll go to the provincial capital to buy some when I have time." Hao Qiang nodded, squatted down, and touched the heads of the two puppies.

The two puppies immediately lay down, and after a moment of hesitation, they quickly licked Hao Qiang's shoes affectionately.

After playing with the two puppies for a while, Hao Qiang first went into his bedroom to take a look.

The wall was puttyed and new wires were pulled in, but no buried wires were installed.

The floor was tiled, a wall air conditioner was installed, new lights were replaced, a new bed, a new wardrobe, a new office desk and chair, and a small sofa were placed.

The central hall has also been completely renovated, with a floor-standing air conditioner, a large color TV, a new tea table, a new sofa, and even a new incense table.

In my parents' bedroom, the bed was not changed, but a new wardrobe was replaced and an air conditioner was installed.

Hao Qiang came to the kitchen and saw a new stove, tiled floor, and new refrigerator, disinfection cabinet, range hood and other kitchen appliances.

Hao Qiang told his parents that if they made hot pot base at home, they must decorate the kitchen properly, for fear that media reporters would come to take pictures. If they found that Renjian Yanhuo's hot pot base was made unhygienically, it would definitely have a negative impact on the brand image.

So, Hao Qiang was very satisfied when he found that the kitchen was decorated better than the bedroom.

Moreover, after the Chinese New Year, livestock and poultry cannot be raised.

Hao Qiang went back to his bedroom and lay on his bed for a while. He fell asleep unknowingly until he was woken up by the sound of fireworks in the parking lot.

He covered his head and continued to sleep until he felt refreshed and got up.

When he walked out of his front door, he found a dozen villagers gathered in the parking lot. They were surrounding the car, pointing and praising his father from time to time. The car was littered with red paper from the firecrackers that had gone off; thankfully, they hadn't blown it up.

When the villagers saw Hao Qiang, they all greeted him: "Qiangzi is back, you've become a famous person."

"He's already a big boss. He's getting more and more handsome. He's changed so much that I almost can't recognize him."

"When life is good, of course you become more beautiful."

Hao Qiang was infected by the enthusiasm of the villagers and felt embarrassed to hide back in the house. He quickly took out cigarettes and distributed them to the villagers to prevent them from misunderstanding that he looked down on his fellow villagers because he was rich.

After he handed out a pack of cigarettes, he opened the car door, tore off another pack of cigarettes and continued handing out cigarettes.

The villagers could see the luxurious interior of the car more clearly and kept praising it.

After distributing the cigarettes, Hao Qiang took his luggage back to the house and planned to move the New Year’s goods in the evening.

After he returned to the house, he never went out again. He planned to sit down quietly and write, and upgrade as soon as possible.

That night, the news that Hao Qiang drove home a Porsche Cayenne worth millions quickly spread to every household in the village.

Many curious villagers came to watch, wanting to see what this car worth millions looked like.
