Chapter 528: The Lazy, Fair-skinned Youth and the Hardworking, Strong Laborer (51)
The lazy, fair-skinned educated youth and the hardworking, strong laborer (Fifty-one)
In the end, Song Ning paid for the car with a wave of his hand.
His hands were shaking when he paid the bill, but when he saw Lance's happy expression, he felt that it was worth the money.
Anyway, the money here was originally the dividends given to him by Lance. Apart from that, he really doesn't spend much money on a daily basis, so the money is just sitting here with him.
Song Ning felt that it was worth it as his money could bring Lance a smile.
At that time, buying a new car was not that troublesome, and there was no license plate restriction in Taipei City. Lance had already prepared the necessary procedures. With Yuan Qing's enthusiastic help, the car was delivered the next day, and Lance drove it with Song Ning to buy New Year's goods.
The place they are going to this year is a supply and marketing cooperative in Taipei City. It was Director Chang who told them about this place. It is a special supply and marketing cooperative in Taipei City. Originally, one needed a certificate or a position to go there, but Director Chang applied for one for Lance, and Old Mo applied for one for Song Ning, so both of them can go.
“This is the sedan.”
Song Ning opened the car door, got in and felt around, but actually didn't feel much.
He is a man who can endure hardship, but not so good at enjoying life.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have had so much money in his hands but never spent any on himself. Instead, he used the first sum of money to buy a car for Lance.
“I don’t feel anything special.”
Song Ning whispered the truth.
"Well, it's just a means of transportation."
Lance nodded and parked the car in the empty space in front of the supply and marketing cooperative. "But it's very convenient if you want to go out to buy things, and you won't be afraid of the cold."
His voice was a little low, as if he was reviewing his mistakes that day.
Song Ning's hand that was pushing open the car door paused. Before he could even begin to feel the novelty of seeing the supply and marketing cooperative, the huge sweetness surging in his heart overwhelmed it.
He knew that it was because of the time he waited for Lance in the cold wind that day that Lance suddenly wanted to buy a car.
The supply and marketing cooperative here is not remote at all. It is a little distance from their home but the place is not small. There are many shops nearby selling all kinds of things. Song Ning also saw one selling watches. Although he was not very familiar with the brand, he had heard of it. Basically, these are things that only rich people would buy.
There weren't too many people in the supply and marketing cooperative. The place was quite big and the people buying things inside all seemed to be well-known figures. Compared with the big fairs at the end of the year, this place actually seemed a little deserted.
“There are so few people here.”
Song Ning and Lance whispered to each other and walked into the door together.
"dislike?"
Lance saw someone coming towards them out of the corner of his eye. He showed them his and Song Ning's proof. The man checked it carefully, nodded, and followed them from a distance.
Song Ning didn't pay much attention, his attention was attracted by the things in the supply and marketing cooperative.
"I didn't dislike it, I just didn't expect it."
He thought that the supply and marketing cooperative was such a good place, and since the New Year was approaching, there would be a lot of people there.
"After all, this is a place with a certain threshold. If it were too busy, it would lose its value."
Song Ning thought about it and felt that what Lance said made sense.
This place is indeed a place with a threshold to enter, and it has all the famous specialties, cigarettes, alcohol and tea, but they all require tickets - Song Ning and Lance both have some of these, most of which were given by others.
Lance and Song Ning neither smoked nor drank, but since they had the tickets they just sat there, they just spent them all.
He took some cigarettes, alcohol, and tea. In addition, he bought the specially supplied sugar and other rare seafood, dried goods, ham, etc. without batting an eyelid.
The people following behind them went from being cautious in the beginning to smiling from ear to ear now - although their supply and marketing cooperative only provides special supplies to people of status and position, it is rare to be able to get things like Lance did, so he was naturally happy in his heart.
He saw that the two were halfway through their tour and began to guide them attentively.
"We have some snack gift boxes here, all from well-known old brands. Would you like to take some?"
"Want a ticket?"
When Song Ning heard about snacks, he became a little interested.
"No, no, this kind of thing is usually bought for personal consumption or as a gift. There are no special restrictions."
When Song Ning heard about giving gifts, he thought of Mr. Mo.
"Is there anything more suitable for elderly people to eat?"
"Yes, yes. These snacks here are recommended. They are lighter and easier to digest."
Song Ning was soon overwhelmed by the choices, and in the end it was Lance who helped him make a decision and choose a few models.
After a shopping spree, half a day had passed in the blink of an eye.
I bought so many things that I didn't even use my new car.
If you leave your address here, they can deliver it to your door personally. When Song Ning heard this, he hurriedly wrote down the address of their courtyard house.
The man took the registration book with a smile and asked them to pick a set of couplets and blessing characters.
"These are all free gifts. Just pick the ones you like and we'll send them to you later."
Song Ning and Lance took a look and tacitly chose one of the pictures that prayed for health and safety.
Their hands touched each other, and Song Ning and Lance looked at each other and smiled.
Song Ning: "This is pretty good, right?"
Lance looked at the black words on the red paper and nodded, "Yeah, it's really good."
As long as Song Ning is happy and healthy, he doesn't ask for anything else.
Unexpectedly, there was nothing loaded on the vehicle from the supply and marketing cooperative, so when they came back, the two of them discussed and decided to take a detour to the big market they had heard of before.
In less than two hours, there was a lot of food in the car and in Song Ning's hands.
When he got on the bus, he even had a string of candied hawthorns in his hand, and his teeth almost fell out from the sour taste when he took a bite.
“This hawthorn is so sour!”
He ate with a grunt and put the food into Lance's mouth.
"Try one, too."
He can't be the only one feeling jealous!
Lance calmly approached his hand, bit off one, chewed it up in two bites, and swallowed it.
Song Ning was waiting to see his reaction, and was immediately disappointed when he saw this.
"You really don't feel sour?"
"Fortunately."
Lance looked expressionless, but actually his mouth was moist.
This hawthorn is quite sour. I’ll buy it for him next time if Song Ning has a poor appetite.
But if this happens, I may never be able to buy it again, and Song Ning never has a bad appetite.
On the way back, the two took a detour to find Mr. Mo and give him a gift.
Mr. Mo was a little surprised, but he still happily accepted it.
He knew that this student was very good and knew how to respect him.
When Song Ning and Lance left, Song Ning had a confused look on his face and was holding several large books in his arms.
These are the 'gifts' that Mo Laogang gave him.
In response, Lance took a look and didn't know what to say.
He just silently prepared several brain-boosting recipes for Song Ning in his heart, planning to make one every day during this period of time.
After all, sometimes the kindness of a mentor seems a little too heavy, even in physics.
