Chapter 439 Buying a New Electric Car

After the weather warmed up, Yunya still rode her bicycle to work. Every time she arrived at the shoe store, she was covered in sweat and felt very hot.

After I calmed down, my thermal underwear was soaked again, and it felt cool and uncomfortable against my back.

At this point, Chen Pingping started urging her to buy an electric scooter, saying that this situation wouldn't occur if she rode a bicycle to work. She also said that electric scooters are fast and very cool in the summer.

After thinking it over for a long time, Yunya finally decided to take out two months' salary to buy an electric car.

Now, most of her colleagues drive electric bikes, while she rides a bicycle, which looks rather unattractive and makes her feel a bit embarrassed.

When Yunya got home from get off work, she discussed it with her parents and told them that she wanted to buy an electric scooter. She was thinking of asking her mother to contribute some money to help her.

Kong Xiujuan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, we'll pay half the money to help you buy the electric scooter. Don't wait to save up two months' salary before buying it; let's go buy it tomorrow."

Yunya was overjoyed to hear this and was about to express her gratitude when Kong Xiujuan continued, "We won't give away half the money for nothing. When you get engaged, we'll definitely buy you a new electric scooter. You can keep this old one for your father!"

Your dad's current job is too far away. He has to get up early every day and cycle to work, which takes him more than half an hour earlier. It's tiring and slow. When you buy a new electric scooter, this one will be old, so it can be left for your dad to ride.

Yunya thought it was a good deal and agreed to her mother's suggestion. After all, what engagement ceremony doesn't include an electric scooter? She couldn't very well bring this old one to her future in-laws' house!

That's perfect. Now that I'm riding a new electric bike, I only paid half the price, which is equivalent to renting a new electric bike.

The mother and daughter made up their minds and were just waiting for the next day to arrive so they could go buy the electric scooter.

The next day, Yunya was working the night shift. She ate breakfast early and waited for the electric vehicle store to open.

When it was 8 o'clock, Yunya quickly called her parents and went to the city street to look at electric cars.

Sun Zitao borrowed an electric tricycle and took Kong Xiujuan and Yun Ya to the city center street.

They arrived at their destination in about 20 minutes. They came to the street where electric bikes were sold, and all the storefronts were selling electric bikes.

They started looking at cars from the very first store, not only looking at the brand but also the mileage and style.

Yunya immediately took a liking to a small electric car. It was small and exquisite, with a cute pink color and a stylish and good-looking design. She would definitely stand out when riding it.

However, Sun Zitao and Kong Xiujuan went straight to a large electric vehicle. The frame of the vehicle was large and tall, and it looked like it could carry a lot of things.

Yunya frowned and quickly followed, saying, "Mom and Dad, I want the smaller one; it's nicer and more convenient."

Kong Xiujuan held her hand and said patiently, "Girl, the big one is more practical. If you need to move anything in the future, this big one will come in very handy."

Sun Zitao chimed in, "Yes, and the bigger ones are more stable to ride."

Yunya was a little reluctant, muttering, "But I just like the small ones, they're so suitable for riding to work."

The family stood by the car, each sticking to their own version of events, and the atmosphere became somewhat tense.

Just then, the salesperson came over and said with a smile, "Actually, both of these cars have their own advantages. Why don't you think about it some more?"

Yunya looked at her parents expectantly, hoping they would change their minds. But her parents insisted on buying the expensive electric scooter, saying that the smaller one was impractical.

This stalemate isn't going to work, so Kong Xiujuan said, "Why don't we go to another store and see if they have an electric scooter that offers the best of both worlds?"

Yunya agreed with her mother's suggestion, thinking that this method would indeed work. The three of them then went to a store of another brand.

The sales assistant watched them leave helplessly, feeling a little annoyed and hoping that other stores wouldn't have the styles they wanted, and that they would come back to her store to buy a car later.

The family of three visited several more shops, and by the time they had looked at all of them, more than an hour had passed.

Yunya suggested, "Mom, why don't we go to the first store and buy that big-framed electric scooter?"

Kong Xiujuan asked her in confusion, "Didn't you dislike that style? How come you changed your mind?"

Yunya said reluctantly, "There's nothing we can do if we don't want to buy it. Small electric bikes are indeed cute, but they're not suitable for Dad to ride. They're not practical either; the big ones are more useful."

And after looking at so many electric vehicles, this first one was the most affordable, a better deal than those fancy ones.

Besides, I don't have time to shop anymore; I have to go to work soon. I can't take time off because of shopping!

Kong Xiujuan and Sun Zitao nodded repeatedly, smiling and praising Yunya for being sensible. The group returned to the first electric vehicle shop and bought the large-frame (Xinyang) electric vehicle.

After paying, Sun Zitao drove Kong Xiujuan home with the invoice, while Yun Ya rode her electric scooter to work at the shoe store.

When her colleagues at the shoe store saw that Yunya had bought a new electric scooter, they all said she should have bought one a long time ago.

Chen Pingping thought the large-framed electric scooter was ugly. She asked Yunya in confusion, "Why did you buy such a big electric scooter? It's so ugly! Have you ever seen a girl riding a big-framed electric scooter?"

Yunya was also helpless. She didn't like this stupid guy either, but she suppressed her annoyance for the sake of her father's comfort.

She explained the situation to Chen Pingping, and after hearing the reason, Chen Pingping stopped saying things like the car was ugly.

He then changed his tune, saying, "No matter what model it is, as long as it's fast and has a long range, it's a good electric vehicle."

Yunya didn't care whether she was sincere or not. Anyway, the car had already been bought, and it was impossible to return it!

When the shop owner heard that Yunya had bought a new electric scooter, she walked to the shoe store entrance, looked at it, and said, "Hmm, not bad, this electric scooter looks sturdy."

Yunya's new electric scooter was approved by the shop owner, and she no longer disliked the large-framed electric scooter as much.

After getting off work in the evening, Yunya fully charged her car and drove faster and more steadily than Chen Pingping's car.

Only then did Yunya truly realize that her parents' judgment was indeed correct. They soon arrived home, and Yunya rode her electric scooter directly into the yard.

Kong Xiujuan hadn't closed the gate, so when Yunya entered the courtyard, Kong Xiujuan immediately guessed that it was her.

Yunya parked her electric scooter, went back to lock the gate, and then went inside.

Kong Xiujuan was watching a TV series, Sun Zitao was also watching it, and Yun Ya heated up some food and joined in watching the series.

She was eating while watching TV, and before she finished her meal, the show had already ended.

Sun Zitao and Kong Xiujuan got up to go to bed, while Yun Ya sped up her meal.

After eating a simple meal, Yunya tidied the table, poured hot water, and went to wash her feet. After washing her feet, she went to the bathroom, then came back, locked the door, and went into her bedroom.

I sat on the bed leaning against the pillows, played on my phone for a while, and then my eyelids started to droop.

Not long after, Yunya fell asleep. Her phone screen was still on, the QQ number still logged in, constantly flashing...
