Chapter 67: Chapter 67: The Ancestor Wants a Television
Xia Xin really had no way to curb the Old Master’s interest in these novel things, so he could only agree.
He calculated that the fingerprint-activated automatic door in Boss Cao’s house wasn’t cheap, but they should be able to afford it now.
Just as Xia Xin was thinking, Jiangli spoke up again.
He heard Jiangli say, “In Boss Cao’s house, I also saw something very soft, just like a bed, and a huge metal plate, just like a cellphone, it even has images!”
Xia Xin was stunned. Had the Old Master done all these things while they were gossiping about the Cao Family?
He hadn’t even noticed that Jiangli had once sat on Boss Cao’s sofa.
“That…” Xia Xin chuckled awkwardly, “that thing in Boss Cao’s living room, it should be a sofa, which is a type of chair that has evolved to this point where many people can sit down at once!”
“I want one too!” Jiangli said excitedly. “It’s not good to put it outside, just place it in my room!”
Just as Xia Xin was about to say that it was inconvenient to have a sofa in the Taoist Temple, Jiangli’s latter statement completely shut him down.
He nodded with an awkward laugh, “That, that works…”
Maybe buying a small sofa would be enough.
It wouldn’t cost much.
Jiangli stared at him, eyes bright and piercing, “Then, what is that giant screen?”
“That should be a projector TV,” Xia Xin explained.
Jiangli: “I want that too!”
Xia Xin: “…Old Master, we don’t have a place to put such a big projector TV!”
“Don’t care, I want to buy it!” Jiangli frowned.
Xia Xin: “…Alright, we’ll buy it.”
Jiangli stroked his chin and added, “And that vehicle, let’s buy one too, shall we?”
Xia Xin’s eyes widened, “A car? No, no, no, Old Master, that really won’t work, we don’t have driver’s licenses. Even if we buy a car, we can’t drive it!”
“Driver’s license, what’s that?” Jiangli tilted his head and asked.
Xia Xin: “…It’s a document issued by the Governor’s Office. You need this document to drive on the road. Without it, you’ll be arrested by the Governor’s Office!”
Jiangli frowned, “Is it that troublesome?”
“Yes, yes, modern society is just this troublesome. The laws are in no way less than before! So there are restrictions in every aspect, there’s a lot we can’t do!” Xia Xin said anxiously.
After pondering, Jiangli asked, “How do you get this document? Can you just go to the Governor’s Office to get it?”
“No… you need to go to an institute to learn to drive and then take a test. Only after passing can you get the document…”
Xia Xin was almost tired out explaining it to Jiangli.
Upon hearing this, Jiangli clapped his hands in agreement, “Then you should go learn to drive!”
As if it were that easy?
Xia Xin was near tears, struggling to explain it several more times to Jiangli.
It took a while, but Jiangli sort of got the gist of it and grimaced, “It really is troublesome. In that case, we’ll have to take other people’s cars when we go out in the future?”
When Xia Xin heard that, he thought the same. The Old Master was back, and they would inevitably need to go out in the future.
Having their own car would indeed be more convenient.
Considering this, he pondered and said, “How about this, Old Master. I’ll go learn to drive first. Once I get the driver’s license, then we can consider buying a car?”
Jiangli agreed reluctantly with a nod, “That works…”
Xia Xin breathed a sigh of relief and managed a smile, “Old Master, let’s leave it at that for now. Should I go tidy up your room first?”
Jiangli nodded, “I’ll go with you and check out my room.”
Xia Xin affirmed with a good. As long as Jiangli wasn’t pestering him with endless questions, it was fine.
