Chapter 59: Opening a "Nuclear Weapon" Chapter Village?
After finalizing the driving lesson plan for the next few days, Zhou Lang invited his younger sister, Zhou Xixi, to come to the city center tomorrow so he could go home and pick her up.
That evening, Zhou Lang and Su Ying'er returned home.
As soon as Su Ying'er entered the room, she couldn't wait to go into the bedroom and start fiddling with her little speaker.
Zhou Lang quickly checked and tidied up the guest bedroom on the first floor: "Hmm, buy another bouquet of flowers and get some sleep-inducing aromatherapy, and put them here."
Put in more effort to make your sister more comfortable.
He went upstairs to check on the little girl, wondering what she was fiddling with.
Su Ying'er sat cross-legged on the ground and patted the somewhat old and unresponsive Xiao Ai speaker: "Xiao Ai, play some music, turn the volume up."
Zhou Lang patted the top of her head: "It's not working well anymore? I'll buy a new one another day."
Music started playing, and Su Ying'er turned to look at her boyfriend: "Brother~ let's go downstairs to the guest room and check the soundproofing~ We shouldn't be able to hear anything, right?"
Zhou Lang paused for a moment, then chuckled: "So that's what you're worried about."
Su Ying'er nestled shyly into his arms, shifting to a comfortable lying position.
"We rented such a big house, and it would be really inappropriate to arrange for my sister to stay in a hotel when she comes to visit... But what if she overhears us..."
"Can't you just endure it for a few more days?" Zhou Lang asked, suppressing a laugh, knowing full well what was going on.
Su Ying'er looked up, squinting her eyes in a warning: "Brother, no way!"
"The materials used in the renovation of this house are of high quality, and there is even a reserved piano area on the first floor, which shows that the original owner would have considered sound insulation and sound absorption to some extent."
He patted Su Ying'er's bottom: "Since you're worried, let's go listen to it together and see."
"Also, should we turn the music up a bit? I feel like you're screaming even louder than that—"
"elder brother!"
……
the next day.
Zhou Lang and Su Ying'er went to Xiashan County.
Last time Zhou Lang went back to his hometown, he was worried that some of the rough roads would damage the car's chassis and make it difficult to pass, so he didn't drive his Bentley Flying Spur.
This time, with the new Maybach GLS, an SUV with a high chassis and good off-road capability, I can drive all the way home.
We parked the massive Maybach in front of our house in the small town.
The surrounding neighbors immediately began to discuss the matter.
"Is this the Zhou family's child?"
"Yes, they've made a fortune in the city."
"Is this a Mercedes? I've seen that all the cars with this logo in the city are black sedans, and bosses of all sizes like them."
Why are there SUVs with signs on them? That's quite rare.
"At the beginning of the month, the eldest son of the Zhou family came back once. I remember he was driving an Audi that day."
A student resting at home leaned out of the window, saw the double-M triangle emblem on the side of the car, and raised their voice: "It's not just any Mercedes, it's a Maybach!"
He took some photos and posted them in his classmates' QQ group.
The number of messages in the group surged.
"My neighbor bought a Maybach! It's from that steamed bun and noodle shop in the photo!"
"The steamed buns your neighbor sells...have filling inside? And maybe some Western leaves?"
"Two steamed buns cost one yuan at the school cafeteria, three cost one yuan in town. A Maybach SUV... you'd have to sell 600 million steamed buns to afford one, right?"
"He's my neighbor's brother, in his twenties. He's definitely caught a wave of opportunity and benefited from it."
"Now that 'GG' phrase has really come true."
"The Mercedes-Maybach isn't just setting up an emblem; it's erecting a symbol of the back problems that have plagued fathers in rural areas for years!"
"To exaggerate a bit, if any of us classmates were to drive this car within twenty years, eight out of ten of us would be so angry we'd hang ourselves overnight!"
"Bullshit, there's no such thing as jealousy between brothers. I've got a Maybach now. If you call me godfather, I'll lend you the car."
"Get lost!"
……
Su Ying'er stepped on the pedal and jumped off the car with a "whoosh".
She could feel the eager gazes around her, and couldn't help but take Zhou Lang's arm.
"Dude, Maybach is definitely a social status symbol. It seems to attract more attention than when we drove the Defender or RS6?"
Su Ying'er asked uncertainly, "Those two cars both... um, they're called eight-cylinder engines, right? This Maybach has a six-cylinder engine? Yet it gets more attention?"
"You could say this is a rural nuclear weapon."
Zhou Lang smiled, patted the car body, walked to the front of the car, and flicked the Mercedes-Benz three-pointed star emblem.
"In some wealthy cities in the Yangtze River Delta region, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi are commonplace, and there are many factory owners, so a Maybach might not be unusual."
"But in a small town like Xiashan County, well, buying a Maybach really does speak for you."
Upon entering the house, Zhou Lang's parents warmly invited Su Ying'er to sit down and have some tea, treating her like a daughter-in-law.
Su Ying'er felt a little uncomfortable, but politely chatted with the two parents for a few minutes.
Zhou Xixi took out a bouquet of flowers and a set of L'Occitane hand cream that she had prepared in advance from the bedroom and handed them to Su Ying'er.
"Sister-in-law... um~ cough cough, elder sister, this is a gift for our first meeting~"
"Thank you, Xixi~"
Zhou Lang casually tugged at his younger sister's hair: "Your older sister Ying'er has also prepared something for you, at her place in the city. Are you staying home a little longer? Or should we leave now?"
Zhou Xixi noticed the awkward atmosphere between Su Ying'er and her parents, who seemed to be forcing conversation, so she said, "Let's leave right away!"
When they got back in the car, Su Ying'er and Zhou Xixi sat in the back row together.
Zhou Lang tugged at her and whispered jokingly, "Ying'er, you've changed. When we first met, you said that according to the rules of the game, you should sit in the passenger seat of a handsome guy, and it would be impolite to sit in the back."
Su Ying'er snorted and pinched his arm: "Brother, first of all, since you bought such a nice car, of course you should experience how comfortable the back seat is."
"Secondly, I'm the hostess now, not a guest, so of course I can sit anywhere in your car."
"Okay, okay, next time we'll sit in the back together and use the armrests."
"Tch~" Su Ying'er gave Zhou Lang a coquettish glare, giving him a "bring it on, who's afraid of who" look.
Heading towards the urban area of Shushui City, Zhou Lang deliberately deviated from the navigation and took a short detour.
We drove along a bumpy road and passed a flower shop.
Zhou Lang slowed down and deliberately looked at Su Ying'er's expression in the rearview mirror.
The young girl looked happily out the car window.
Her gaze met Zhou Lang's in the mirror.
This is where they first met, and they exchanged a knowing smile.
No longer under her parents' watchful eyes, Zhou Xixi glanced at her much younger "sister-in-law"...
Her older brother is nine years older than her, but his girlfriend is almost the same age as her...
"Sister-in-law, I originally wanted to buy lipstick or serum, but I'm not sure what shade you usually wear or what your skin type is, so I chose hand cream instead."
"Okay, Xixi, you can just call me by my name..."
Because Zhou Lang always called Shen Wanrou "sister-in-law," and now that the title was being used on Su Ying'er herself, she felt a little strange...
And just imagine, if Zhou Xixi meets Shen Wanrou in the future, and she also gives the same story as Zhou Lang...
Two "sisters-in-law"... that's even stranger...
Go home.
Zhou Xixi went to the restroom, and Su Ying'er whimpered as she leaned closer to Zhou Lang, saying, "It's hand cream too."
It was the same gift that Shen Wanrou gave him.
Zhou Lang pinched the little girl's chin: "Seeing you so jealous, I don't even dare to report it to you—"
"It's getting hot, and I've been thinking of going for a swim in the evenings these past few days. My sister-in-law wants to learn to swim recently, so we might bump into each other. If you're worried, would you like to come with me?"
