Chapter 56 Three Things
This summer vacation, Li Qian had a very pleasant time.
Although he still spends more than an hour to two hours a day on tutoring Russian and homework, after all, he is free for most of the day.
In this free summer vacation, he did three major things in total.
The first thing he learned was ten Russian songs.
Well, in fact, singing is not difficult for him. If it is changed to Chinese, or even English, he doesn't think it is a big deal, but Russian songs are a certain degree of difficulty for him.
So, for the purpose of not only learning Russian but also learning about foreign music, he worked hard to flip through the Russian dictionary, and translated the Russian tape left in the hands of the previous Li Qian one by one. Memorizing the lyrics, in the end, after spending half a month, he finally managed to learn all the songs on the entire tape.
Not to mention, after he tried to use the guitar to compose two of the songs, he took them to the restaurant to sing, and the effect turned out to be good. The reward that day was dozens of yuan more than usual! And there are actually repeat customers who come to eat the next meal just to listen to him sing Russian songs.
It's a pity that when the Li Qian bought this tape back then, he should have paid more attention to the face and figure of the female singer, and most of the songs in it can only be regarded as saliva songs. Li Qian had a thousand choices, but he only picked two that barely fit his taste. So, he had no choice but to take these two songs and sing them repeatedly, but his repeat customer was not happy, and took out a hundred yuan bill to urge him to change it, which made Li Qian very embarrassed.
Well, then there is the second thing, the driver's license test.
When Li Qian took the driver's license test in his last life, the domestic driver's license test had been standardized, and there was no possibility of getting a license directly with some money, so he had to learn honestly first. The process was bumpy and difficult. In a word: Desperate!
So when he learned that this time and space can apply for a driver's license when he reaches the age of sixteen, although Li Qian immediately applied for it, he was already mentally prepared for the bumpy few months. It's just that he didn't expect that applying for a driver's license in this time and space is so easy - he doesn't even need a driving school!
He went to the relevant department to sign up, pay the money, and leave his mobile phone number, but the next day they took the initiative to call. After the two parties agreed on the exam time, Li Qian went to the exam room, got in the car, lit the ignition, and started it. After going around the field, the examiner in the passenger seat told him that he passed the test and went to class!
The so-called class is a total of eight class hours. For office workers, it may only be one or two weekends. For Li Qian, it can't even be used for two days. Then, a test paper with 100 multiple-choice questions is issued Just swipe and do it, OK, you have your driver's license!
Li Qian felt that this was the easiest certificate he had obtained in his two lifetimes!
Well, the third thing is that the Li family bought a car.
In fact, as early as when Liao Liao's album began to be sung in the streets and alleys, Li Qian's money that was forced to be kept in the hands of Li's father had already been lifted. Because even Li's father and Li's mother, who don't understand pop music, already understand that the songs written by their son are already quite popular. But when Liao Liao's album became more and more popular, and her songs and news were often heard on TV, Li's parents and mothers were speechless. can be said.
So, according to Li Qian's earlier proposal, Li's father and Li's mother began to seriously consider letting their son buy a car.
If he buys it and drives it himself, considering that once he gets the car, he can't help but want to change it, Li Qian will definitely choose some cars that are more tasteful but easy to modify. But since it is bought for Dad, the standards are naturally different, stable and sturdy, durable, and at the same time, safety is better, which has become the most important consideration standard. As for the power, in Li Qian's opinion, with his father's steady temperament, as long as it is enough.
His original plan was to choose a more compact compact class from the three major German brands BBA. The so-called clothing is important, and he has earned a little money. Honoring his parents and driving a decent car is also a heart. . Not to mention the cars made by the Germans, subconsciously give people a sense of stability and safety. Judging from Li Qian's experience in car modification in his previous life, the German chassis is indeed the best.
Of course, the most important thing is that the exchange rate in this time and space is very different from the time and space Li Qian once lived in. Here, one US dollar is exchanged for 2.01 Chinese yuan. In the time and space he used to live in, it was only the price of a BBA mid-level car. If you buy a compact Mercedes-Benz A, Mercedes-Benz B, BMW 1-series, or 2-series, although there is a surplus, it is not much more. But at the moment, an imported Mercedes-Benz B-series starts at around 80,000 yuan, and the top-end model costs less than 150,000 yuan. So 400,000 yuan is not much, but buying a BBA compact class as a gift for dad is completely stress-free.
But as soon as he mentioned this plan, he was directly rejected by Li's father and Li's mother.
On Saturday, the family of three went to seven or eight 4S stores, European, American, and domestic joint ventures. After visiting for a long time, Mama Li liked everything she saw, but she frowned when she asked the price. I frowned when I asked the price, and finally went to the Mercedes-Benz store, and saw a B180. Li's mother liked it even more.
So, after a night of hard discussions, Li's father and Li's mother finally decided to buy a Great Wall D0 worth about 10,000 yuan.
Li Qian was completely speechless.
So the next day I continued to look at the car.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the car was finally settled, Guangzhou Volkswagen, Jetta.
Well, the translated name is - Jetta.
The top configuration, with a displacement of 1.5L, landed 34,000 yuan.
Originally, Li Qian, who had got his driver's license for more than a month, was still eager to try it, but after finally buying this car, Li Qian didn't have much interest in testing it. But, the car was bought for mom and dad, so they both think it's good.
Of course, even in this time and space, the country has been reformed and opened up long ago, and the economy has been developing very fast, but in the current 1995, a joint venture car worth more than 30,000 is still enough to attract many people. Envious. It's just that out of the idea of protecting their son, although the old couple laughed from ear to ear when they were asked, they only said that they bought it with the money they had saved for many years, and did not mention their son.
So... Well, the Li family has finally become a car owner.
However, when Che completed his household registration, Li Qian didn't have much interest in admiring how Father Li squatted downstairs admiring his beloved car for several hours every day, because although school was about to start in a few days, but... Wang Jinglu came back from the capital up.
