From the chauffeur to the female security guard, Li He gave them all the time off and asked them to come over on the first day of the month.
He was not used to having so many people around the house all day, and it seemed like there was no space for him.
He was still used to having his family together.
However, after the chauffeur left, going out became a problem. He did not have a Hong Kong driver's license.
Four took out a small notebook from his pocket unhurriedly and waved it in front of Li He. Smiling, she said, "Look, what's this?"
"Where did you get this from?" Li He took it and looked at it. He did not know when this wretch had gotten a driver's license, but the profile picture and name were all hers. There was no mistake about it.
Four said proudly, "I learned it. They said that this is a necessary skill for the future New Era. I learned it with Qiuhong. A Singapore driver's license can be used in Hong Kong. "
She had been proud for a long time after getting her driver's license. However, she was afraid that Li He would scold her for not doing her job properly, so she did not dare to show it off.
"It's pretty good. I'll learn it sooner or later. " "I didn't expect this wretch's good looks to be in line with the international standards.
"Really?" Her brother's reaction was different from what she had expected. “
"Have you driven a car before? How's the skill? Can you drive? There will be a lot of people on the roads during the Spring Festival. "Li He finally raised his concerns.
These days, the most fearful were not the traffic police but the female drivers. Whether they were new drivers or female drivers, they all had one thing in common, and that was to use the accelerator as the brake at the crucial moment! Even the scammers did not dare to hire a female driver!
Even if it was his own sister, he would not be at ease!
"It's okay. I can drive." She had secretly practiced driving the family car a few times.
Li He found the car key and threw it to her. He then sat in the passenger seat and said, "Drive around the door and let me see. If it's okay, I'll let you drive."
"Sit tight." Four started the car excitedly.
Li He sat beside her. Seeing that she was about to put the car into gear, he held her hand and said, "Remember, after starting the car, let the lubrication system work. Don't idle for more than ten seconds and let the dial drop to about zero before driving."
Four sighed and counted in his heart before driving out of the courtyard.
Riding steadily on the wide mountain road, she said happily, "Brother, how is it?"
"Not bad." However, just as Li He finished speaking, when the car passed the curve, he criticized again, saying, "You're entering the curve too quickly. If you slam on the brakes like that, the car will drift or roll over."
"Alright." Four had no choice but to lower his speed.
"There's more. Don't forget to look in your rearview mirror when you brake. " Li He was being a little nitpicky here, but he was still thinking about her safety. "Move aside, I'll show you."
Four angrily parked the car on the side of the road. He also felt that Li He's demands were too high.
"It's not my first day driving." She knew some of the essentials, but she hadn't formed a habit yet.
"Stop the car and use the turn signal." Li He was very dissatisfied with her casually stopping the car.
"Alright." In just a short while, he had already pointed out five or six mistakes.
Li He took her around the mountain road and explained the essentials of the standard movements step by step.
Half an hour later, he asked Four to get in the car again.
"Your seatbelt isn't fastened." Four got in the car in a panic and started the car. Li He couldn't help but remind her again.
Just like that, he accompanied Four for a few rounds until she was familiar with and used to every standard movement. As long as it was a habit, there was no such thing as forgetting. As a driver, one had to have the qualities of a driver.
Neglecting safety while driving would be harming others and oneself.
Li He got out of the car and left Four to drive around on her own.
The next day, the family went out to buy goods for the New Year. Four drove the car.
Li He also followed them into the market. His main role was to be a laborer. After the three women finished buying, he followed behind and carried them.
Probably because of the shortage of goods during the Spring Festival, many things were not cheap in the eyes of a rich man like him. The chicken was sold for nearly 30 Hong Kong dollars per catty.
Needless to say, He Fang was naturally not satisfied with the prices. However, the New Year's goods could not be less, and the money needed to be spent was still the same.
In the shopping mall, she bought two sets of clothes for Li He and his two sisters-in-law. It could be said that she shed a lot of tears.
Li He smiled and didn't say anything. He knew her. She didn't care how much money he earned. She only cared about how much money he spent.
After transitioning from a girl to a woman, the first thing she had to think about was how to live.
She was not stingy. It was just that she lived a more refined life.
Back then, when the two of them were not together, she dared to spend half a year's salary to buy a jacket for him.
However, after they got married, she didn't even think about it. As long as he wore clean and fresh clothes, she wouldn't care about whether he was handsome or not.
She would live her life eighty times better. She would spend the money that she should spend and not spend the money that she shouldn't. That was what it meant to live a good life.
There used to be a saying, "There are money-makers outside and money-makers at home." It meant that every family not only needed a husband who knew how to earn money, but they also needed a wife who knew how to gather money. Only then could the family prosper and live a better life.
If the wife didn't like to gather money and spent it everywhere, one could imagine how their life would be like.
Li He himself liked this kind of small business and simple life. Even though he had spent a lot of money now, it was basically for long-term gains. He rarely spent money on things that were not profitable.
Four's valiant driving made He Fang's heart itch a little. Once she got home, she said to Li He, "Do you want me to learn how to drive too?"
Li He teased, "Gas is very expensive too."
He Fang said seriously, "Go, go. I've thought about it. When our son can walk, I'll drive him out to play."
So what if they spent money on their son? If they didn't spend it on their son, who would they spend it on?
Li He said excitedly, "I'll teach you then. After I teach you, you can just go to the driving school to take the test. "
"Okay." He Fang nodded happily.
Li He demonstrated it to her first and let her do it herself. This area was basically uninhabited.
The car drove slowly on the wide road.
He sat in the front passenger seat and watched as she braked and stepped on the accelerator from time to time. She drove the car like a frog jumping and used all her strength when she shifted gears!
"Slow down!" Li He's heart was about to jump out of his chest. He didn't feel safe with this woman driving.
He Fang said disdainfully, "Are you scared?"
She was driving quite easily now.
"No … No, I'm not … scared." Li He was about to correct her steering.
"You're even trembling when you speak. You're obviously scared. What's there to be afraid of? Don't worry, it's just driving. "She found it funny to see Li He's fearful expression.
"Then slow down a little!"
"This is easier than driving a tractor. What are you so nervous about?" He Fang couldn't stand his nagging.
The people in Hong Kong celebrated the Spring Festival without the festive atmosphere that Li He had imagined. There were no Spring Festival couplets or the word "fu" on the streets. Only in the shopping malls or city squares in the city, there were all sorts of exquisite Chinese New Year decorations with dragons as the main characters.
On the last day of Chinese New Year's Eve, the family went shopping again, and then happily began the New Year.
Li He gave each of the two girls a 135 DSLR camera as a New Year gift. Four wasn't very interested in cameras, but Five liked them very much and said that she wanted to be a photographer in the future.
