382: I Personally Went to Beijing to Ask for Gifts (4 More)

In 1984, bicycles are still the mainstream means of transportation for Chinese people.

There are not many motorcycles, and there are fewer cars running on the streets. Big cities like Beijing and Shanghai are not bad. The cars that appear on the streets of small cities are not used by units. Only the county-level leaders will allocate a car, and the county chief must share the car with others. It is still several years after the reform and opening up, some places have started to attract investment, then no matter what the local government must provide two good cars, otherwise, how will the investment merchants be received? With the development of the economy, cars are becoming more and more popular, and eventually they are not only rationed by units at all levels, but also owned by private individuals.

Only in the coastal cities in the south, a small number of people get rich first, and they are the first to have private cars.

An ordinary car is tens of thousands of yuan, so Xia Xiaolan can buy it now, even if she finds out her family, but she is as savvy as Mr. Xia, almost every penny earned has been arranged for use, and she is now holding tens of thousands of yuan. Buying a car... my brain is almost broken.

Everyone rides a bike, why can't she?

Riding a bicycle is better than walking on two legs. Xia Xiaolan hadn't thought about buying a car for a while, nor had she thought of celebrating her birthday. Zhou Cheng planned to give her a car.

Coming to the customs to pick up the seized smuggled cars is definitely not to despise Xia Xiaolan and think that she is only equipped with smuggled cars. In China in 1984, it is impossible to find a place where there are so many models and brands of smuggled cars seized by customs - this is an alternative car show in 1984. Among the many cars, there are low-end and high-end cars. At that time, high-end cars such as Mercedes-Benz were rarely seen in China, and there were!

Zhou Cheng asked her to pick a car at the customs?

What if she wanted to pick the most expensive one? The price of smuggled cars auctioned by customs is lower than the market price, so it is impossible to sell Mercedes-Benz as cheap as Jeep 212!

Xia Xiaolan was moved and speechless. Don't give Zhou Cheng an expensive gift. Zhou Cheng didn't take this to heart.

After seeing Xia Xiaolan's brief consternation, she glanced at the confiscated Mercedes-Benz a few more times, and Kang Wei was also a little empty.

Brother Chengzi, isn't this arrogance a little big?

If my sister-in-law likes the most expensive car in the future, will I buy it or not?

Kang Wei was looking forward to having a car of his own, and he envied Pan San to death.

Just at this moment, Xia Xiaolan asked in a leisurely tone, "Tell me, how much budget did Zhou Cheng approve for you?"

Kang Wei raised two fingers, "Brother Chengzi said, let me pay directly if it is less than this amount, and tell him if it exceeds this amount."

Two fingers are definitely not 20,000. Xia Xiaolan knows that flipping cigarettes is very profitable. Zhou Cheng shouldn't be so out of his mind that he has to take out his family and buy a car for her, right? Xia Xiaolan didn't dare to ask for this car, she felt that Zhou Cheng's family was quite solid.

Although she had seen more money in her previous life, the times were different. The 200,000 yuan in 1984 had to be used to buy a house, and she could buy it casually in the capital and Shanghai stock market. It was even more terrifying than the 20 million yuan in 2017.

Not counting those smugglers who are deeply hidden, there are a few more who owned 200,000 family properties in 1984! If Zhou Cheng dared to take out so much money, he could not get away with the crime of "speculation", Xia Xiaolan hated that iron could not become steel, and gave Kang Wei a stern look: "Who gave Zhou Cheng's idea, you two dislike it. Your life is too comfortable, isn't it?"

Conway is a little guilty.

Zhou Cheng actually wanted to give away a suite. Xia Xiaolan was about to go to the capital to study. At this time, the dormitory sleeping system was strictly controlled. Except for the local students in the capital, everyone else had to live in the dormitory, and Xia Xiaolan was no exception. Zhou Cheng thought that when Xia Xiaolan didn't have classes on weekends, maybe she wanted to have her own space. The house didn't need to be very large, and there was no need for a few people to squeeze into one room. In case Liu Fen wanted to come to the capital with her, she would usually have a place to live.

The idea of ​​giving away a house was strangled by Xia Xiaolan in the embryonic stage before she could say it.

Kang Wei, this dog-legged man, offered a suggestion: You can send a car if you don't send a house. It's convenient for my sister-in-law to go out to do errands. I can find a place to leave it at ordinary times. I have a car on weekends.

Don't even need a house, isn't the value of the car about the same?

Some cars are even more expensive than buying a yard in the capital. Zhou Cheng’s unreliable suggestion was accepted by Kang Wei, but it was because Kang Wei made a supplement that the car could be registered in someone else’s name, and the user was still Xia Xiaolan. It's not a very expensive gift.

Zhou Cheng was usually very calm and made a lot of money. Apart from buying a few watches, he didn't waste anything.

Even if Kang Wei wanted to buy a car, Zhou Cheng felt that it was too high-profile and did not allow Kang Wei to buy it.

When something happened to Xia Xiaolan, Zhou Cheng felt that he could make an exception. There's nothing wrong with being high-profile, he is willing to give his wife the enjoyment of the money he earns, and Xia Xiaolan has a car to go in and out, so as not to be coveted by Xiao Xiaolan. A man can't help but want to buy a woman he likes. Xia Xiaolan is generous to him, and Zhou Cheng is willing to spoil him tenfold.

Reason is something that restrains him. A man is the support of the family. He has to protect the women and children in the family.

Women shouldn't look forward to the future, spend the money as much as they want, and he will take care of everything.

What should I do if I can't take it anymore?

What can I do, my daughter-in-law is chosen by herself, and she has to recognize her when she pinches her nose!

Xia Xiaolan can fully understand Zhou Cheng's thoughts, not to mention that she can guess something vaguely when Kang Wei talks about it.

"Let's go."

Kang Wei had a pity on his face, "Sister-in-law, we don't choose a car anymore? We've already come, so let's choose one."

It's Xia Xiaolan's birthday, Kang Wei and Zhou Cheng can't compete with Zhou Cheng to give something to show off, he must give something else.

But Xia Xiaolan doesn't choose a car, that is, she doesn't accept the birthday present delivered by Zhou Cheng over the air.

The thing is that Kang Wei didn't do it well, he is in a hurry!

"Don't choose, this is not suitable as a birthday present, don't cry, Zhou Cheng won't blame you, my gift... Of course, I have to ask Zhou Cheng in person!"

She was a little moved, and she wanted to yell at Zhou Cheng. She was 21 years old, and she was the battalion commander in the army. Can we be more mature? It's not good to deal with an object, it's not good to keep flowing, you have to make it earth-shattering.

Kang Wei didn't understand. Today is the 23rd, and tomorrow is the birthday. How can I ask for it in person?

Xia Xiaolan turned her head, "I need your help, buy me a plane ticket, I'll go to the capital."

How to explain the plaster on the wrist to Zhou Cheng? Does it mean that he fell, or simply knocked off the cast. It's been half a month since the injury. As long as you don't use your right hand to hold heavy objects and only meet Zhou Cheng once, the bone fracture should be concealed.

Conway will definitely help with this one!

As long as sister-in-law Xiaolan goes to the capital, Brother Chengzi can't think of any principles. It's not what sister-in-law Xiaolan says.

Kang Wei secretly looked at Xia Xiaolan, should he remind his sister-in-law that it was almost time to see the parents when he went to the capital this time.

Hey, what are you talking about? Just like his sister-in-law, do you still get picky when you see your parents? !
