Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 1188 Is there really a car spirit?

Because of his previous experience, Lin Mo was much more familiar with the following procedures. The process of registering the vehicle, paying the fees, and so on was completed smoothly.

"What do you mean, little brother? Where are we going next?" Liu Ruyan asked.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo thought for a moment, checked the time, and realized there was still some time before his father got off work. He then said, "Let's go back to our hometown and see how the house construction is going!"

"That's great! We really should go check it out. It's been so long since we've gone to see the progress!" Liu Ruyan said excitedly.

After saying that, Lin Mo drove the newly bought car and the two of them leisurely headed towards Qinghe Village.

Although Lin Mo hadn't been here often, he knew the way well. As soon as they entered the village, the two saw their own courtyard.

The square courtyard walls have been erected, and in the courtyard, a two-story villa has sprung up, with blue bricks and gray tiles. Liu Ruyan has adopted a new Chinese style.

The original old house has long since disappeared. Fortunately, his grandmother's yard was quite large, otherwise there wouldn't have been enough room to move around.

The entire courtyard wall has been paved with paving stones, and even the road has been repaired.

The two drove to the gate of the yard and parked the car.

"Not bad! I thought it would be quite different from the design drawings." Lin Mo got out of the car, looked around, and couldn't help but sigh.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes at him and said, "How much do you look down on me? Let me tell you, even though I'm not here, if they do a bad job when it comes to the inspection, I'll make sure they don't get a single penny."

Either demolish it and rebuild it for me, or get lost. The person I hired doesn't dare to fool me!

As they spoke, the two walked directly into the courtyard. Although it was drizzling, it didn't hinder the interior decoration.

At this time, many workers were going in and out of the yard. Because of the large amount of decoration materials, the yard did not look very clean.

However, the overall building is already completed; now it's just a matter of interior and exterior decoration and finishing touches.

Of course, the jujube tree left over from the old house is still there, but it has been renovated and upgraded, and it's lush and green. No wonder his dad comes to check on it every day.

He likes this house too; it's much more comfortable than his apartment!

No wonder so many wealthy people like to live in villas. Putting everything else aside, just looking at them is a pleasure for the mind and body.

The two went inside the villa and found the person in charge of the renovation to learn about the situation.

The renovation is now in its final stages. The exterior walls and courtyard walls are finished, and the interior hard furnishings will be completed by the end of this month. All that's left is to work on the soft furnishings and finishing touches.

It mainly focuses on the details in the courtyard, such as the greenery, the pavilion, and the fishpond.

That's right, there's also a small fishpond in the yard. It's not deep, but the waterways are all connected. If there are fish in the future, they can swim around everywhere. In some places, the road surface and the waterway overlap, so people can walk on it while the fish swim below.

Of course, all these fancy items were chosen by Liu Ruyan. They may not be practical, and they might even be difficult to maintain, but the finished product looks really good.

Another advantage of his villa is that it's right next to the river, which makes the drainage system easy to install. Rainwater flows directly into the river, and even sewage from the house can be discharged directly into it. Since it's running water, there's no problem at all.

As for the interior decoration, Lin Mo calculated the timeline and figured it would be almost finished by the time he graduated from university next month. It was just the right time.

After a tour, the two were very satisfied. Although it was not yet fully completed and the yard was still a bit messy due to the renovation, the general effect was already visible.

“Little brother~ After you graduate, the weather will be quite hot, how about we come and stay here for a while?” Liu Ruyan said excitedly.

She had lived in large apartments and villas, but she had never experienced a self-built house in the countryside.

Although Qinghe Village is a rural area and relatively poor, with most of its residents being elderly, it must be said that the scenery is quite beautiful.

With mountains and water, the scenery is beautiful. Putting everything else aside, just standing at the door and looking out makes you feel relaxed.

Especially on a rainy day like today, the courtyard is even more picturesque. "I've already graduated, so of course it's fine with me. After all, I don't have to work, so it doesn't matter where I am!"

But believe it or not, if we come to stay here, Sister Yuan and the others will definitely come after us in less than three days, and then this place will be in complete chaos.

“I believe that. She’s always so free. If she knew this place had become like this, she would definitely beg to come over,” Liu Ruyan nodded.

The two knew Miss Yuan's personality all too well; she might even raise chickens and cattle in her yard.

If she gets craving something, she'll just kill a chicken or run over a cow, then have an open-air barbecue—she's absolutely capable of doing it.

Lin Mo: "Since that's the case."

Liu Ruyan: "Keep it a secret, we must keep it a secret from her!"

She didn't want her vacation villa to become Yuan Meng's crazy playground. What if the yard was full of cow dung? After all, Yuan Meng had a history of throwing poop at people.

The two drove back to the neighborhood, and soon after, Zhou Min, the mother, and Mr. Lin got off work.

"Huh? This car looks just like mine!" Mom Zhou Min exclaimed in surprise.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan smiled and said, "Auntie, this is the same model as your car!"

Meanwhile, Old Lin was touching his new car, feeling happy but rather restrained. When he returned, he noticed that his old car was missing from the entrance of the residential area, so his reaction wasn't as strong.

Lin Mo stood beside him, took out the exquisite car model in his hand, and handed it over with a smile, saying, "Dad, I heard that when you say goodbye to an old car, you take a small toy car model and walk around it counterclockwise three times. The car spirit will then live inside the toy. When you pick up a new car, you take out the toy again and walk around it clockwise three times. The old car spirit will then come back. Today, when the car was towed away, I helped you walk around it counterclockwise three times. Do you want to try it now?"

Upon hearing this, Comrade Lin's eyes lit up, and he immediately took the toy car.

"How old are you? Still believing in this? How childish!" Zhou Min, the mother, rolled her eyes at the father and son.

Old Lin ignored this, put the car model in his hands, put his hands together at his forehead, and then circled the car three times clockwise while muttering something.

After three laps, he stood on the hood of the car, pointed at it, and shouted, "Back!!!"

However, three seconds later, nothing happened; all that could be seen was a light drizzle.

"Hey~~"

Comrade Lin sighed heavily, then turned around, facing away from the front of the car, and lit a cigarette for himself.

Just as he was feeling that he was still so childish at his age, suddenly, the headlights of the car behind him flashed twice.

'Beep beep!'

Comrade Lin turned around instantly, saw the car lights flashing, and froze on the spot, as if the old car spirit had really returned, as if it were speaking to him:

'Old buddy, long time no see'

In an instant, Comrade Lin's eyes turned red.

Seeing this, Liu Ruyan widened her eyes and whispered to Lin Mo beside her, "Is there really a car spirit?"

"Are you stupid? You're not pregnant either?" he said, gesturing towards his mother's direction.

Looking over, Liu Ruyan saw her mother, Zhou Min, standing with her hands behind her back, smiling at her father, just like fifteen years ago when they first brought their new car home. In her hand was the car key.
