Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 478 First Stop: Red Star Commune, Qin Family Village
Will Ximen Lang be tempted to give up and back down because of the monotonous and boring journey and the constant bumpy ride?

Whether this will continue in the future, no one can say for sure.

But at least for now, Ximen Lang is still very energetic and full of vigor.

They are even more excited about the new map being released.

Because of this fondness for the car, I grew to like this imposing and incredibly cool steel behemoth more and more the more I looked at it.

Sitting on the relatively spacious and bright sofa inside the RV, Ximen Lang introduced.

"Originally, Dongfeng Motors was reluctant to build such large RVs because they were too big to be registered or driven on the road. But we have money, and Yiyi has such strong connections."

"It's a case of money making the world go round, and having connections in the court makes it easier to get an official position. Plus, Yi Yi had already placed an order with Dongfeng a long time ago, so the result was, of course, just perfect!"

"We were just about to set off when they immediately worked overtime to build this custom-made doomsday fortress and delivered it on time! What do you think of our ride? Not bad, right?"

Yes, this RV is definitely a good one.

This is especially true for Lao Luo and Bai Ling, who have never had any contact with RVs and don't even have a concept of them.

The car was fully equipped with air conditioning, a refrigerator, a flush toilet, and a shower – truly a small car with all the essentials.
"No, that's not right! To be honest, this RV is bigger than many people's homes! If this is all sparrows, then what are our houses?"

He shook his head, banishing the absurd idea from his mind.

Bai Ling couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Isn't this a bit too extravagant? We went down to conduct research, and they've brought us a two-meter-wide Simmons mattress. Is this really appropriate?"

Bai Ling was truly prepared to endure hardship; she even brought her own cot and other necessities.

But the result was this kind of suffering.

Although influenced by Ximen Lang, Bai Ling, who still maintains a simple lifestyle, naturally felt uncomfortable.

However, Lao Luo and Ximen Lang felt that this was completely unnecessary.

Especially Lao Luo, who was afraid that Ximen Lang wouldn't be able to endure the hardships of traveling for days and would simply quit, was extremely satisfied.

Luo Yonghao spoke directly.

“Bai Ling, what you’re saying isn’t right. If we really didn’t have the means, it would be fine to suffer a little. But we clearly have the means, yet we still insist on suffering. Isn’t that a classic case of forcing ourselves to suffer when we don’t have the means? That’s completely unnecessary.”

Seeing that Lao Luo understood him best, Ximen Lang immediately followed suit.

"Exactly! It's not bitter at all, but you still force yourself to eat it! Ling'er, tell me yourself, aren't you a little bit crazy?"

Although Ximen Lang didn't explicitly say that Bai Ling was out of her mind, he had already put it this far. If Bai Ling still didn't understand, then there would truly be something fishy going on!
Bai Ling was so angry that she glared fiercely at Ximen Lang, which immediately made him stop talking about Bai Ling's idiot behavior.

Then, without any surprises, after completely letting go of those unnecessary burdens, Bai Ling, like Simon Lang, quickly fell in love with this behemoth RV that was both domineering and safe, while also being comfortable.

Based on his months of experience driving the U8, Lao Luo and his group, who were extremely curious and wanted to touch and look at everything, drove this behemoth towards the guard battalion's garrison on the outskirts of Beijing.

Halfway there, seeing a familiar figure watching the behemoth from both sides of the road, Ximen Lang waved and had Bai Ling stop the car. He rolled down the window and leaned out to call out to Qin Huairu, who was carrying large bags and struggling to walk.

"Qin Huairu? It really is you! What's going on? Why aren't you washing and cleaning at the Central Courtyard? What are you doing here? And with so much stuff?"

Upon seeing that the person in the car was indeed Ximen Lang, Qin Huairu was both surprised and not so surprised. She first corrected him in a somewhat annoyed manner.

"Brother Lang, although we have a lot of things to wash at home, I don't do all the washing and cleaning every day. It's just a coincidence that you happen to see me every time you come back. So could you please stop bringing this up, making it seem like our family is something else?"

Qin Huairu then explained.

"It's been a long time since I've been back to my parents' home. Luckily, I've had some extra money lately, and rice, flour, and cooking oil aren't in short supply. My mom and Dongxu asked me to bring some things back to my parents' home so I can go visit them."

Upon hearing this, she realized that the large and small bags were actually things that Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu had asked her to bring back to her parents' home!

Ximen Lang was not surprised that Jia Dongxu would do this.

Ke Jia Zhang Shi
"Really? I'm not well-educated, don't try to fool me! Aunt Jia is such a stingy person, would she really let you send things back to your parents' home? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

That's pure prejudice.

Although Jia Zhangshi was indeed not very generous in the past, as you said, that was in the past!
Previously, the whole family relied on Jia Dongxu's fixed salary of about 30 yuan to make a living. In addition, Jia Zhangshi had also gone through a hard life, so of course she would save money wherever she could.

But now, Jia Zhangshi's salary alone is more than 50 yuan, which is higher than Jia Dongxu's salary!

Her family's life is now incomparable to what it used to be!
With more money in hand, Jia Zhangshi naturally became more generous!
Bringing gifts back to one's maternal home is a matter that greatly enhances the Jia family's reputation!

This shows that her family is doing well and thriving, which is why they can do this!
Therefore, as long as it's not too frequent, to the point of using the old Jia family's things to fill the old Qin family's pockets, Jia Zhangshi won't say much.

Even the old hen she was carrying was bought for her by Jia Zhangshi herself at the market, who instructed her to bring it back specifically for her.

He's the old hen that's known as the "chicken butt bank"!

She was willing to give that up, so...
"What exactly is my mom stingy about? Brother Lang, you can't just lie through your teeth!"

After hearing what he said, Ximen Lang didn't know what to say.

Just feeling
"This feels surprisingly good!"

I learned that Qin Huairu was carrying so many things to the station all by herself because everyone in her family had to go to work.

Having long been curious about the existence of the famous Red Star Commune, and how the ordinary Qin Family Village could have raised the sisters Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru, Ximen Lang immediately made a decision.

"Our first stop is Qinjiatun in Hongxing Commune!"

Since it was all on the way anyway, and Simon Lang had already made his decision, Lao Luo and the others certainly couldn't refuse.

Under Simon Lang's repeated and irresistible invitation, Qin Huairu had no choice but to get into the RV and travel with Simon Lang and his group.
