Chapter 31

Son has a "natural support," and he will become a leader as big as the police station chief!

Old Han was already confused about how many good things had happened. After seeing off Chief Chen and Old Huang, he tightly held Gao Changxing's hand and said, "Comrade Gao, you've worked hard. You've come all this way, and it's so late that you can only go back now. You and my son Xiaobo are good brothers; please help him more in the future."

"Uncle Han, Han Kezhang is an official, and I'm just a soldier. It's appropriate for him to promote me." Gao Changxing raised the bag of red eggs in his other hand and turned to smile, "Han Kezhang, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first."

"Don't rush to leave. If you really have something, I want to ask for your help."

"Talking about help is too formal. What's the matter?"

Han Bo pointed to the Santana, "My dad is doing renovation in Donghai. Having a car would be more convenient. I plan to get a Donghai license plate. The vehicle management office is closed on Sundays, and I don't have time on Monday and Tuesday. Can you and Xiao Zheng take two days off to take my parents to Donghai and get the license plate?"

"I thought it was something big. Such a nice car, I've been wanting to drive it."

Xiao Zheng is a security guard at the Chengxi Police Station. He drove for several years in the military and is an experienced driver. With the three silk factories contracted out, all the factory security guards returned to the main factory, and the security department suddenly had six more people. With Director Jiang's approval, taking two days off was no problem. Donghai is not far, and with two people taking turns driving, they could get there in half a day. Gao Changxing agreed without hesitation.

"That's settled. I'll call Director Jiang later."

"Okay," Gao Changxing thought for a moment and asked, "What about after the car is registered? Uncle Han can't drive, will it just stay there?"

"It won't stay there. We'll bring it back first. I'll teach my brother-in-law to drive. Once he learns and gets his license, we'll take my sister and Ruirui to Donghai when Ruirui is a month old. My mom will take care of the child, my sister will learn accounting, and my brother-in-law will drive for my dad."

Winning the grand prize, this family can't stay here for now. Son's consideration is very thoughtful, and Old Han had no objections.

Gao Changxing was a bit puzzled and couldn't help but ask, "What about the old house? Such a well-decorated small villa can't be left empty."

"Lock the doors and windows. My aunt and second cousin work in town. I'll ask them to check on it from time to time, or they can stay there. The valuable things are two color TVs and a refrigerator. With the doors and windows locked, there won't be any problems."

The office location is found, a decoration company is about to open, and now there's a car. Moving the family to Donghai is indeed the best choice at the moment. Han Baoguo, holding the car door, said, "If the car can fit, I want to bring a color TV. It will save Xiaofang and Taipeng from buying one again."

"The trunk is big enough to fit a TV." Gao Changxing opened the trunk to check and then asked curiously, "Uncle Han, will Teacher Han and Taipeng have a place to stay?"

"We'll rent a house. With the whole family, we can't stay at the construction site anymore."

In the fragmented dreams, future housing prices will skyrocket, especially in big cities. Many people made a fortune from the stock market this year. The Han family's earnings are hard-earned, and they can't take the risk. Buying a house is fine; the economy will get better, and housing prices will only rise.

Han Bo turned to look at Li Taipeng and smiled, "Dad, since we have the means, we should plan for Ruirui. When we have more money in the future, we'll buy a house in Donghai. There are many developers there, and buildings are being constructed everywhere. I heard that if you buy a house in a new neighborhood, you can pay a little extra to transfer your household registration.

Not for anything else, just for Ruirui. We'll help him transfer his household registration to Donghai, live and study there, and he'll be a big city person. With similar grades, he'll have an advantage in the college entrance exam compared to those in our Jiang Province."

"Oh, I never thought of that. Xiaobo, you're right. We can move to Donghai. Ruirui will have a bright future, and it won't affect your prospects. If we return to the county for renovation, whether I make money or not, others might gossip, saying you used your power to get me business."

With a grandson, it's like having a new goal. The more Old Han thought about it, the more sense it made, and the more excited he became, his ambition soaring.

People compare and envy each other.

While he was struggling to survive, others had a beautiful villa here and a well-decorated two-bedroom apartment in the county. Now they were setting their sights on Donghai City, planning to establish a home there.

Gao Changxing sighed inwardly and smiled, "Han Kezhang, this means you'll stay in the county alone."

"My brother-in-law and sister won't leave, so I'll be alone in the county. You know, I've been at the office for the past two months and haven't come back once."

"That's true. Whether it's a holiday or a gathering, it doesn't really matter if they leave or not."

...

Winning the grand prize in the sports lottery is a big deal in the entire Nan Gang City.

The next afternoon, several journalists and city sports committee officials rushed to Sihetown to interview the lucky Old Han. They wanted to publicize it to boost the sales of sports lottery tickets.

However, when the town officials led them to the Han family, they found the house empty.

They had paid their personal income tax in the morning, held a celebratory banquet at noon, and left after lunch. A few relatives were helping to clean up and said they had gone to Donghai.

Winning the prize made them act as if they had done something wrong, hiding and avoiding people.

The journalists, who had come with high hopes, left empty-handed and full of complaints. The city sports committee official, who had worked at the grassroots level, understood the saying "fame is as dangerous as a pig getting fat" and could empathize with the Han family's predicament. He smiled and returned home.

Actually, Old Han didn't leave, at least not that day.

He couldn't stay in town, so he stayed in the new home in the county.

Gao Changxing did a good job keeping it a secret. The new neighbors, who had just received their keys, all knew that someone in Sihetown had won the grand prize in the lottery. They all envied and gossiped, but none knew the grand prize winner was in the neighborhood. When Gao Changxing and Xiao Zheng returned from Donghai with Old Han and his wife, the neighborhood had a new luxury Santana. With a Donghai license plate, no one associated it with the grand prize.

Despite the outside gossip, the Han family returned to peace.

During the day, the brother-in-law and sister took care of little Ruirui, and in the evenings, the brother-in-law learned to drive. The little guy ate and slept, never causing any trouble, making him easy to take care of. Han Bo went to the party school in the morning and interned at the Sihetown Police Station in the afternoon, teaching his brother-in-law to drive on the way.

Driving is not hard to learn. Driving schools waste so much time because the instructor can't let the students drive the whole time. With ten people per car, the total driving time in a day is less than an hour and a half.

Li Taipeng loved the car so much that he dreamed about driving, practicing the clutch and gear shifts. With a professional instructor and the opportunity to practice, he learned faster than Gao Changxing.

Last Thursday afternoon, there was no class at the party school, so he took him to a neighboring city to get a driver's license.

Yesterday, the sister was tired of staying at home and suggested going to Nan Gang. There's no scientific basis for the postpartum confinement, and staying in bed all the time can make one sick. With no elderly around, Han Bo agreed. The round trip was over 140 kilometers, and Li Taipeng drove both ways.

"Last year, we shouldn't have bought the motorcycle and the light motorcycle. The two vehicles cost over ten thousand, a waste." Han Fang sighed after finishing her soy milk, sitting at the dining table.

"In a few days, we'll go to Donghai. Leaving the car here to be exposed to the sun and rain is not good, and sending it to town is not reassuring. Xiaobo, what do you think?"

"Easy to solve."

Han Bo wiped his mouth, stood up, and smiled, "When I went to the factory to get some things, I mentioned it casually. Yongliang wants the motorcycle, and Yang Dajie wants the light motorcycle. Yongliang will use it himself, and Yang Dajie plans to let her husband use it. With the light motorcycle, Secretary Qian will have an easier time commuting and can be with his family every day."

"Sell them to them?"

"Yes, at a lower price."

No matter how many kilometers they had driven, they were still second-hand vehicles. Rather than giving them away cheaply to others, it was better to give them to his brother's colleagues. Han Fang had no objections, and Li Taipeng certainly didn't oppose it.
