After dinner, Gu Chen drove off in the brand new Santana 2000 towards the village.
He had to go back and find Tian Laosi first.
Now that he had the land and the seeds, the only thing he was missing was someone to help look after the fields.
And that person was none other than Tian Laosi.
His ancestors were all farmers, and he is really good at farming.
It is definitely the right person to ask.
The car drove all the way into the village, raising a cloud of dust on the ground.
It was a little after two o'clock, and everyone who should be working had already left the house.
They were gathering in groups of two or three, chatting as they walked towards the fields.
Seeing another car enter the village, many people immediately put down their hoes and started to watch the excitement.
'Look, look, there's another car in our village!' Wang San stuck his head out, and two words were written on his face: gossip!
'What's going on? Why are there only cars coming and going these days?'
Liu Lao, next to him, also looked curious.
It feels like there are always cars coming to the village these days.
Everyone is used to living a quiet life, and when they suddenly see a car, to be honest, they are all curious.
'Boss Liu, I'm telling you, you really have water in your brain. Do you need to guess? If this car doesn't belong to Gu Chen, I'll write my surname backwards!'
There is no need to think about it, the only person in the village who can afford a car is Gu Chen.
After all, he had previously driven a van!
And the car that came to pick up Ji Pianran was carrying a golden statuette.
It was reasonable for Gu Chen to change his car.
Upon hearing this, Wang Wu immediately said with certainty, 'Impossible. Gu Chen has only bought the van for less than a month. This car is a car. Can you see the logo? It's a Volkswagen! A Santana! 2,000 yuan! What a great car!'
He had seen the car before. Lei Guanghui's eldest son drove the car for his boss, and that was the same car!
The last time he had followed Lei Guanghui into the city, his eldest son had even driven them for a spin in his boss's car.
That car was really, really the best car he had ever seen in his life.
But it wasn't cheap, either. He had heard that it cost more than 100,000 yuan.
It was really expensive.
At that moment, Gu Chen's car had pulled up in front of the group of people, and he had planned to turn the corner and go home.
But seeing that everyone was sticking their heads out of the windows to look inside, Gu Chen thought about it and decided to say hello to them, otherwise they would be looking at him and he would feel embarrassed.
He pulled up in front of the group and lowered the window to say hello with a smile.
'They're all going to the fields to work,'
said Wang Wu, reaching out to touch it. 'Good stuff, Chen, how much did you earn?'
'Yes, this car is really beautiful!'
Men are naturally fond of cars, and seeing such a Santana, they really can't take their eyes off it.
'Chen, it's like changing toys to change cars, this is too exaggerated,' Sun Yang can't help but exclaim.
He can't even afford a van, and Gu Chen has already changed to a small car.
It's really incomparable to anyone else.
'Chen, is your car a Santana 2000? I heard that everyone in the city calls it a magic car!'
Wang Wu was full of excitement. He had heard it from Lei Guanghui's eldest son himself, so there was no doubt about it.
Gu Chen smiled lightly at this, saying, 'It's for work, it's for work. The car is actually just for getting around. A van is practical, but it's not very aesthetically pleasing, is it?'
Upon hearing this, Sun Yang's eyes widened.
'Getting around? What kind of cloth is so expensive that it needs to be transported in such a car?'
No wonder he's rich. I just heard that he sells matsutake mushrooms, and now he's started a fabric business.
Gu Chen is really something.
Sun Yang couldn't help but exclaim.
Gu Chen was at a loss for words. 'Substitute means to replace, and I haven't even understood the meaning of the word yet, and you're already selling fabric. You've really got some nerve!'
After saying that, he waved to everyone, 'Oh, I've got something to do, so I'll go first. I'll see you on the ridge in a bit.'
He had to go back to find Fourth Brother!
Fourth Brother Tian had just finished his lunch break and was getting up from the bed. He put on his old cloth shoes, which he wore exclusively when working in the fields, grabbed his hoe and, with a cigarette in his mouth, prepared to head out to the fields.
As soon as he stepped outside, he saw Gu Chen returning in his new car.
He couldn't help but secretly marvel, 'No wonder Gu Chen is doing well, he's already bought a new car in just one month, and it's a sedan!'
But unlike the onlookers,
Tian Laosi was genuinely happy to see that Gu Chen was doing well.
Gu Chen was a good person, and he wished him well!
Gu Chen stopped the car and saw Tian Laosi's envious expression. He couldn't help but smile and say, 'Laosi, get in, I'll give you a ride.'
It so happened that they were both going to the field, so why not let his brother take a ride in his car and enjoy the view?
Hearing that he was being asked to get in, Tian Laosi shook his head quickly.
The car was so clean, and his shoes were still covered in mud, so he couldn't get in, for fear of getting it dirty again.
Tian Laosi waved at Gu Chen, 'Get out, we can talk here if there's something you want to say.'
Standing in the field made him feel at ease.
Gu Chen smiled on hearing this, 'What's the matter, are you afraid of getting the car dirty? Come on up, I'll take you to the field ridge, I just need to talk to you about something.'
He really did have something to discuss with Tian Laosi.
Looking at the shiny new Santana in front of him, Tian Laosi wavered a little.
To be honest, he had worked all his life, and had only ever ridden in a flatbed truck, a green train to the city, and the most luxurious thing was a rickshaw ride in the city.
He has never ridden in a car with four wheels.
'Okay, wait for me.'
After saying this, Tian Laosi used his hand to support the wall, and immediately took off the shoes on his feet, held them in his hand, and slammed them against the wall several times.
After slamming them left and right, he took off his right shoe and slammed it as well.
Gu Chen looked at Tian Laosi's seriousness and could not decide whether to laugh or cry.
'Fourth Brother, no need, really no need, the car was driven, it's normal for it to get dirty!'
Tian Laosi didn't care about him, he laughed and put the shoes back on his hands, then said, 'Where should I put the hoe?'
Gu Chen got out of the car and helped him put the hoe in the trunk.
He reached out and patted Tian Laosi on the shoulder, "Fourth Brother, get in the car!'
Tian Laosi nodded, "Okay!'
Today, he, Tian Laosi, was going to enjoy himself too!
The car once again drove onto the gravel road, heading along the eastern end and towards the ridge at the end of the village.
Tian Laosi sat in the car, looking at the scenery outside and couldn't help but grin, 'This car is comfortable, much more comfortable than that bus.'
Gu Chen smiled and took out the cigarettes in his pocket, handing them to Tian Laosi next to him.
His tone was sincere.
'Fourth Brother, to be honest, I'm planning to plant corn and wheat on my land right now. I've already bought the seeds, but there's so much land that I definitely can't do it alone.'
Tian Laosi spoke while looking outside.
'Of course, this is more than 100 mu, you can't do it even if you work yourself to death. We have to find at least a dozen people to work together.'
'We definitely need to find people, but to be honest, I still want you to help me. You can lead everyone in their work every day, and give guidance to those who aren't doing a good job. I'll pay you 200 yuan a month. What do you think?'
Gu Chen held the steering wheel and looked sideways at Tian Laosi with a sincere gaze.
