Chapter 242 Buying a Car for the Old Man

In the car.

Su Cheng received a call from her father, asking if she had eaten, where she was now, and when she was going to look at the car.

"Dad, don't worry, I'm almost at the apartment complex. You can come downstairs now."

Su Cheng hung up the phone after she finished speaking.

Judging from his tone... the old man is in a hurry!

As Ye Li was driving and about to reach the residential area, Su Cheng spotted Su Tianyan from afar and quickly reminded Ye Li, "Hey, hey, don't go into the residential area."

"what happened?"

“My dad is waiting at the entrance of the community, that’s him.”

Ye Li looked in the direction Su Cheng was pointing and found that Su Tianyan was indeed waiting at the entrance of the residential area.

"Your dad is quite anxious..."

"really."

After Ye Li parked the car and unlocked the door, Su Cheng slowly lowered the car window at the same time.

"Dad, what are you doing waiting here?"

"I was worried that it would be troublesome for you to turn around once you entered the residential area, so I came out."

Su Cheng:......

"Alright, get in the car, you can sit in the back."

"it is good."

Su Tianyan quickly opened the car door and sat in the back seat of the Magotan.

As soon as he got into the car, Su Tianyan smelled alcohol.

Seeing that Su Cheng's face was flushed, he couldn't help but ask, "Have you been drinking?"

"Yes, I drank two bottles of beer with Jiawei."

Su Tianyan didn't say much.

He saw in Su Cheng the dominant gene he inherited from himself: that is, his face turns red when he drinks alcohol.

No matter how much alcohol you drink, whether it's a bottle of baijiu or a glass of beer, as long as you drink alcohol, your face will immediately turn bright red.

but.

Applying it to the face is one thing.

But such people usually have a high alcohol tolerance and can drink a lot.

Su Cheng shares the same biological functions as him, and Su Tianyan, as a father, feels a strange sense of accomplishment, as if he has created an outstanding work of art.

"Uncle, please fasten your seatbelt." Ye Li reminded Su Tianyan in the back seat.

Su Tianyan usually sits in the back seat when traveling, but he rarely wears a seatbelt.

If Su Cheng reminded him, he would definitely reply: "What the hell is a seatbelt for someone in the back seat?"

But if Ye Li reminded him, things would be different, and Su Tianyan could only obediently fasten his seatbelt.

"Cheng, which way do I get there?"

"I'll set up navigation for you." Su Cheng picked up Ye Li's phone from the phone holder, skillfully entered her phone password (six zeros), and after the navigation was successful, she put it back. "Just follow the navigation."

"it is good."

Their nearest car market is quite far away; you have to drive into the city, about 10 or 20 kilometers away.

So Su Tianyan planned to take a nap in the back seat and just let Su Cheng know when he arrived.

Ten minutes later.

Su Cheng turned to the back row and reminded Su Tianyan, "Dad, we've arrived."

Su Tianyan: ???
So fast?
It's only been ten minutes, right?
He hadn't even fallen asleep yet, how did they arrive?

Su Tianyan couldn't help but glance at his watch... only a dozen minutes had indeed passed!
"Aren't we going to the city?"

"It's not in the city. Who told you to go to the city? We have it in our county."

Su Tianyan frowned, full of doubt.

Are they available in the county seat?

Su Tianyan became increasingly curious: what kind of car was Su Cheng going to buy for him?
Is it a used car?

After getting off the bus, Su Tianyan realized that this was a small park with the sign above the entrance: [Yebei Electric Market].

The park was filled with brand-new vehicles, but none of them had license plates.

Holy crap!

Is this a senior citizen's car?
Is that brat Su Cheng going to buy him an old man's car?
This is even worse than a used car!
"Dad, shall we go inside?"

Su Tianyan's face was full of black lines, and he had been accumulating some emotions: "You mean this kind of car when you say you're buying a car?"

"Yes, Dad."

"You don't have a driver's license yet, but you can drive this car without one."

Aren't you afraid I'll get into a car accident?

Su Tianyan was more worried about the safety issue. Putting aside the paint finish of this kind of old man's car, its construction was just made of paper.

If any SUV were to have a head-on collision, it could hit the rear seats from the front, leaving the driver's compartment with virtually no survival space.

"Dad, it won't happen as long as you follow the traffic rules!"

"And this car won't go very fast, the top speed limit is 45."

The maximum speed limit is 45 km/h?

That's not even as fast as his tricycle!

"It's faster than a tricycle, and it can keep out the wind and rain. Even if you add a plastic sheet to your tricycle, it still leaks wind and rain, but this one won't."

Su Tianyan looked terrible, but he couldn't say anything.

Su Cheng's answer left Su Tianyan speechless.

First, Su Tianyan's character is not a driver.

Middle-aged men of his age generally don't drive because they don't have the opportunity to handle a car. They usually travel by electric bike or tricycle.

At the time, in order to fit his public image, he didn't get a driver's license.

Secondly, Su Tianyan asked Su Cheng for a car because it could shield him from the wind in winter and the rain in summer, and it was for daily commuting.

Moreover, Su Tianyan himself said that he didn't need a very nice car.

Third, one of Su Tianyan's main character traits is frugality.

He couldn't possibly let his son give him tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan to buy a car all at once; that would contradict his public image.

Although that is said.

But Su Tianyan still hoped that Su Cheng could buy him a nice car.

The result was... a "senior citizen's car"?
In Su Tianyan's eyes, what's the difference between riding in an old man's car and riding on scrap metal?
But he's already here. He can't afford to ruin his public image.

Su Tianyan reacted quickly. He immediately put away all his bad mood and expression, forced a natural smile on his face, and pretended to be excited again: "I feel good about the cars here."

"Shall we take a look?"

"Well, let's see."

Su Cheng was secretly delighted at this moment.

Su Cheng keenly noticed that her father's emotions had just been slightly revealed.

The character is portrayed as someone who doesn't have a driver's license and is frugal, plus the setting that Su Cheng has to show the old man that she has no money.

Su Cheng felt that only the old man's car met Su Tianyan's requirements and her current persona.

Old man, didn't you insist that I buy you a car?
Come on, let's buy!

I can only give you 20,000 yuan at most.

The sales assistant accompanied the three of them around, but Su Tianyan wasn't very interested.

"Dad, have you found anyone you like?"

Su Tianyan: ...

damn it.

A bunch of scrap metal, and they're asking me if I like them?

"Uh, they all look pretty good to me. I don't know much about cars, so Xiaocheng, can you help me choose one? Just pick a cheaper one."

At this moment, Su Tianyan still couldn't abandon his frugal persona, and specifically asked for something cheap.

"Okay, then Dad will choose one for you."

"Ah."

After much deliberation, Su Cheng, on the advice of Ye Li and the sales assistant, finally chose a low-speed mobility vehicle for the old man, priced at 15,000 yuan.

"Dad, how about this? It even comes with window tinting and floor mats."

“Okay, whatever.” Su Tianyan glanced at the little white car that Su Cheng had picked out for him, as if he were looking at an urn containing ashes.

Seeing that the deal was done, the sales assistant asked with a smile, "Sir, we have two models of this car."

"One type has a handle, like the handlebars and steering wheels you usually see on a tricycle."

"There's also a round steering wheel-style one. Which one would you like?"

"Personally, I recommend that you get a three-wheeled steering wheel. After all, you've been driving three-wheelers for so many years and you're already familiar with them, so you'll get used to it faster. You'll be familiar with the size of your vehicle after just a few days."

Su Tianyan resolutely chose the round steering wheel.

The car's steering wheel must be round!

This is his final bottom line!!
Su Cheng paid by credit card.

The old man's car didn't have any documents. The salesperson just gave him a receipt, a set of after-sales certificates and a maintenance manual. He didn't even need to get a license plate and could drive it away directly.

The sales assistant smiled and pinned a big red flower on Su Tianyan's head, then stuffed a signboard into Su Tianyan's hand.

"What is this for?"

"Sir, could you take a picture for us? We'd like to use it for publicity."

"Uh, let's not take the picture then, I don't like license plates."

The sales assistant enthusiastically grabbed Su Tianyan's arm: "Oh, sir, why don't you take a picture? I'll give you two bottles of windshield washer fluid later."

"Dad, why don't you take a picture?" Su Cheng urged from the side, "We have two bottles of glass cleaner."

Su Tianyan: ? ?

Grass.

This brat.

How much do two bottles of windshield washer fluid cost?

How could they let him lose face like that!

no way.

In the end, Su Tianyan cooperated with the salesperson to take a few photos, and quickly posted them on his WeChat Moments with the caption: "Congratulations to Grandpa Su on getting his new car!"

"Sir, this is windshield washer fluid for you. Let me add it to your car now."

Su Cheng was holding back her laughter the whole time.

Su Cheng wondered what kind of expression the old man would have when he sat in the old man's car.

He guessed that his father must be feeling extremely humiliated right now.

Correct.

Humiliation is just right!
This is exactly the effect Su Cheng wanted.

He just wanted to make the old man experience what poverty was like.

The three-wheeled vehicle didn't have this effect.

Even used cars don't have the same effect.

Only a light bulb for seniors can achieve this effect.

The de facto head of the prestigious Dihao Group moves freely between various five-star hotels, drives a custom-made private jet, a luxuriously decorated yacht, and drives Rolls-Royces and Maybachs on land.

Now, sitting in a cheap car that costs over ten thousand yuan, I have to pretend that I'm very happy that my son gave me the car.

Hahahaha!

Su Cheng couldn't resist adding insult to injury: "Dad, we don't have any money right now, so just keep driving this for now."

"Once I make money, I'll buy you a Mercedes-Benz! Just wait for me to make money."

Su Tianyan glanced at Su Cheng, feeling angry but unable to vent it.

He even had to feign excitement about getting the car and his son promising to buy him a Mercedes: "Okay, I'm waiting for my son to buy me a Mercedes."

"Uh-huh."

"So when will you be able to make a lot of money?"

"I don't know, but I'll try my best!"

"it is good."

"By the way, Dad, this car should last you for five or six years. After that, I'll definitely let you drive a Mercedes-Benz."

Su Tianyan: ???
Does that mean he should drive this mobile coffin truck for five or six years?

Damn it!
Waiting for Su Cheng to get him a Mercedes-Benz? That'll be a long time coming.

"Actually, it won't take that long. Anyway, I'll definitely buy you a Mercedes-Benz by then."

"Okay, I'm happy with what you said. I believe in my son!"
