Chapter 140 Changing Cars

It sounds illogical to buy a car even though you are drinking northwest wind.

However, after her daughter expressed dissatisfaction with the car that currently takes her to and from school two weeks ago, Anton has been talking about changing to a car. If he hadn't found the license plate number yet, there would be no need to drag Qi Min along.

"One car is not enough, do you want to buy a new car?" Qi Min slumped on the sofa and wiped his face. Working overtime in a brain-like body really seriously affects people's mental state.

"One car is enough, but don't we need to replace it with another one?" Anton couldn't help but urge, "I said it two weeks ago, why don't you remember it?"

Anton is in charge of the living expenses, but the car owner still has to deal with it. And to be honest, this is also part of the family affairs. When Qi Min is busy, forget it, but now he should go in person if he has time.

Qi Min thought in her mind that she really wanted to take a break and skip work today. Instead, she might as well go with Anton: "That's fine, just buy it. What do you want to buy?"

Anton really hadn't thought about this problem before. Anyway, Mimi complained that the back seat of the family car was not spacious enough. He always thought that he could just change to an SUV. As for the specific SUV, Anton hadn't thought about it carefully. However, for the budget he has in hand, there is really no need to consider which brand and model to buy. Nowadays, ordinary models that are not eye-catching, no matter how expensive or cheap, make no big difference to them. They just buy them for pleasure.

And Anton really doesn’t know what good models of cars are available now. After the innovation of electric vehicle energy storage and charging technology, the private car market has also undergone a major reshuffle. This period of time happened to be when Mimi was in elementary school, and Anton had hardly been on the road in the real world during those years.

"Just... buy an ordinary one." Anton thought it was better to keep a low profile, and then asked, "What kind of car do you think Mimi likes?"

"How do I know what kind of car Mimi likes?" Qi Min yawned and asked Ms. Lin Ying, "Hey, Aunt Lin, what kind of cars are popular now?"

Ms. Lin Ying was stunned by this question. How could anyone say that cars are popular? After all, it’s impossible to change a car on the fly—for ordinary working-class people like them.

She wasn't quite used to the way her old neighbor's godson said he had to change his car, so she asked instead, "Why do we need to change our car? Is the original car no longer working?"

"Yes, is the original car broken?" Qi Min immediately asked.

Anton frowned slightly: "You really can't remember? Mimi said before that the car seat was too narrow."

"Hey, what's the matter? Maybe she just said it casually." Qi Min waved his hand lazily, "There's no rush in this matter, so why do you spoil her?"

"Don't worry, I'll be waiting here." Anton was a little angry. He never wanted to call Qi Min lazy, but sometimes she went too far. What was just an hour's trip could drag on for two weeks.

Qi Min had been chatting with Anton for seven or eight times here, and the old couple had become accustomed to it. Mr. Li Tingyao found them interesting, but Ms. Lin Ying couldn't stand it anymore.

She doesn't have to ask boys to be promising or have good jobs, but is it too much to ask for money from Lele so directly? And if you already have a car and want to replace it with a new one, it really seems like you don't know what to do. I don’t know what her old neighbor and his wife thought about it.

Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong was used to Qi Min arguing with Anton, but she didn't want to encourage her lazy style, so she said, "You go discuss it elsewhere, we old guys still have to chat."

Qi Min just came down after taking a shower and her hair had not yet been dried, so Anton pulled her upstairs. He was too lazy to reiterate to Qi Min that not treating the hair after washing would damage the hair quality. If he had the time, he might as well do it himself.

Watching the two young men disappear behind the door on the second floor, Mr. Li Tingyao said happily: "These two children have a pretty good relationship."

Can the relationship be bad? Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong wanted to complain. Young people are full of tricks. When they were in the brain-like body, the old couple didn't dare to look for them rashly, for fear of running into something serious. To be honest, Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong thought they were fighting at first because her daughter was so cruel. Fortunately, it is in a brain-like body and will not cause permanent damage.

Two old couples sat on the sofa and chatted about their post-retirement situation. After eating a few snacks, the topic returned to their younger generations.

Ms. Lin Ying asked a question that seemed a bit difficult to answer: "Hey, what does your son do?"

However, Mr. Qi Zhiguang replied happily: "Our son is at home, there is not much work and he is not tired."

"Then why do we need to change cars?" Ms. Lin Ying asked.

Mr. Li Tingyao poked her, which meant that she should not dwell on this issue anymore.

However, Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong still explained: "It turned out that the car was too old and it was shameful to drive it on the street."

"You Lele are so generous that she paid for the car?" Ms. Lin Ying said insinuatingly.

What she said made Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong a little bit aware of it, but Mr. Qi Zhiguang found an opportunity to brag about his daughter and said before her: "Is that okay? My daughter is honest and doesn't spend money recklessly. She only buys what she should buy. .”

To put it bluntly, he has a low desire to buy, which is exactly the same as Mr. Qi Zhiguang. It's not that Qi Min doesn't want to change cars, but her desire to change cars isn't strong enough for her to go out and take some time for a run.

"No, Lao Qi, this is wrong, isn't it?" Ms. Lin Ying said sharply, "Your son wants to buy a car, and you want Lele to pay for it?"

Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong and Mr. Qi Zhiguang were both stunned by the question. To be honest, they had never thought that their daughters could be so successful. When everyone earns less, the old couple must consider buying something big and using their retirement salary to subsidize it so that their daughter can save some money. Nowadays, the brain-like company is making so much money that it is mind-numbing. The retirement salary of the old couple is not even a fraction of the salary of the CTO of the brain-like company. No one will consider who should pay for the car at home.

"Whoever pays is not money." Mr. Qi Zhiguang tried to cover up the fact that his family suddenly became rich. "The car was bought using Lele's identity, so she must have paid for it."

"Why, your son can't buy a car?" Ms. Lin Ying asked.

"Oh, we haven't picked the number yet." Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong complained, "This number is getting harder and harder to shake."

"That's right, we were late to take the driving test in high school, and we haven't gotten it yet." Mr. Li Tingyao took the opportunity to interject.

Ms. Lin Ying did not answer the question: "No matter what, this can't suck my daughter's blood, right?"

Vampire? This usage is quite vivid. However, sucking Qi Min is not called sucking blood, but just sucking water. To be honest, the brain-like company is sucking the blood of the whole society-capital is exploiting it in every possible way.

"It's okay for us as parents to take advantage of our daughter." Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong said covertly.

However, Ms. Lin Ying pointed it out directly: "You two are Lele's parents, Zhan Guang'er is a legitimate parent, but what about your son?"

Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong and Mr. Qi Zhiguang both had a headache: You really can’t pretend to be sexy.

"Ahem..." Mr. Qi Zhiguang explained helplessly, "Our 'son' has been married to Lele for eight years."
