The scream was so familiar that Lu Qingjiu knew it had to be Yin Xun's. He thought something had happened, so he got up in a panic and ran outside. You've won five million dollars behind my back?"

Lu Qingjiu was dazed and confused when he heard Yin Xun's question: "What's that about winning five million?

Yin Xun yelled, "Look at your door."

Lu Qingjiu hurried to the door and crossed the threshold to see the five million dollars that Yin Xun had said he had won in the lottery, only to see a beautiful blue convertible sports car parked in front of Lu Qingjiu's door, with a small golden figure with wings on the badge reflecting brightly in the sunlight.

"Whose car is parked here?" Lu Qingjiu was confused.

"Isn't it yours?" Yin Xun turned his head to look at Lu Qingjiu, "Who in this village would buy a car like that? We'd have to save up for years to buy a Wuling Hongguang."

Lu Qingjiu: "Do I look like someone who can afford a sports car to you?"

Yin Xun: "So who bought this car?"

Lu Qingjiu turned his head towards his house and, after a moment's silence, whispered, "Have you seen Bai Yuehu?"

Yin Xun said, "I don't see it."

Lu Qingjiu stood at the door and called out, " Bai Yuehu Bai Yuehu "

There was silence in the room and no one responded.

Lu Qingjiu thought for a moment and said, "He must have gone down to the field to water, so I'll go and look for him."

"He bought this car." Yin Xun glared.

Lu Qingjiu: "I didn't buy it anyway."

They walked towards the field, and when they reached the planting area, they saw Bai Yuehu, who had changed his clothes to make it easier to work, and was bending over to weed a tomato plant with his rubbery black boots, looking like a simple farmer if not for his overly pretty face.

" Bai Yuehu " Lu Qingjiu called out.

Bai Yuehu turned his head, his face expressionless: "What's wrong?"

Lu Qingjiu said, "Did you buy that car?"

Bai Yuehu said, "It's here."

Lu Qingjiu understood that he must have gotten the car, but a luxury car in this remote village was a bit too much: "Why do you suddenly want to buy a car?"

Bai Yuehu said, "It's not that I want to buy it."

Lu Qingjiu said, "What is that?"

Bai Yuehu said, "It is it that is disliked."

Not only Yin Xun, but also Lu Qingjiu was confused. But Bai Yuehu had no intention of explaining either, as he gently touched the round tomato and said, "You can use it, I don't drive much."

"No, that's not good." Lu Qingjiu was shocked, he didn't know the exact model but knew from the configuration and the make that the car was at least seven figures, "This car is too solid"

"Zing." Bai Yuehu gave him a sideways glance.

"Yeah, it's too much of a sticking point." Lu Qingjiu said helplessly, "I can't drive this car to sell tomatoes."

Maybe the next day the city's social news will be full of headlines like: Shocked tomato vendor earns 10 million dollars a month to set up his stall in a luxury car.

"So what kind of car do you want?" Bai Yuehu asks.

"Just the minivan, the most common kind." Lu Qingjiu wiped away a drop of cold sweat from his forehead.

Bai Yuehu nodded at this and waved his hand again, saying, "Okay, I'll ask someone to change it tomorrow."

Lu Qingjiu was relieved. He didn't want to be too conspicuous, after all, Bai Yuehu's status was unusual, and there were fox spirits, who knows if there were any fox spirits catching Daoist priests, ah, in case it aroused other people's suspicion and provoked any wrongdoing, it would be too much to lose.

Lu Qingjiu has a clear head despite his love of luxury cars.

Yin Xun finally realises that Lu Qingjiu has a hidden tycoon in his family, and when the two of them return home, he points at the luxury car for a long time before saying, "Bai Yuehu bought it."

Lu Qingjiu nods his head.

Yin Xun said, "Crikey, I thought he was a dabbler like me."

Lu Qingjiu sighed, patted him on the shoulder and turned to cook, leaving Yin Xun standing alone in the doorway, sadly lamenting that he was the only one who was poor.

Bai Yuehu did what he said he would do, and a day later, the luxurious Rolls-Royce in front of the house was replaced by a normal Wuling Hongguang minivan, which Lu Qingjiu was relieved to see.

Bai Yuehu was surprised to see Lu Qingjiu's reaction and said, "Don't you humans like expensive things?"

Lu Qingjiu said, "I like it, but it's not my own after all.

Bai Yuehu said, "I can give it to you."

Lu Qingjiu said, "It's too expensive for me to take, but this is a good vehicle for transporting fruits and meat, and I don't have to bother anyone else.

Bai Yuehu, who heard what Lu Qingjiu said, looked at Lu Qingjiu more and more strangely.

Lu Qingjiu went to check the van, but for some reason, he felt that the van looked a bit strange.

"Hey, the lights are not in the right place." Lu Qingjiu was shocked, "Did you get a fake?"

Bai Yuehu sniffed at the headlights, raised his hand and slapped the car on the head, then the next moment the lights returned to normal.

Lu Qingjiu, who saw the scene, had a horrified look on his face.

In response to Lu Qingjiu's consternation, Bai Yuehu spat out three words with remarkable candour: "It's fixed."

Lu Qingjiu: ""Crap crap crap he knew it wasn't that simple, this car was obviously a living thing ah he took a moment before saying in a shaky voice, "Can I ask what this is"

Bai Yuehu said, "The car."

Lu Qingjiu: "I know it's a car, I want to ask what it's turned into."

Bai Yuehu was silent for a moment and asked quietly, "Do you really want to know?"

Lu Qingjiu: ""Why are you sounding so heavy, what the hell is this.

As Lu Qingjiu hesitated, Bai Yuehu's lips opened and he was about to say what the minivan was made of. "

Bai Yuehu looks at him askance.

"It doesn't matter what's changed since we're going to use it anyway." Lu Qingjiu explains, reassuring himself, "It's not a good thing to know too much."

Bai Yuehu nods and gestures with his eyes for Lu Qingjiu to remove his hand.

Lu Qingjiu laughed dryly and hurriedly withdrew his hand.

"Not a good thing indeed." Bai Yuehu said, "The car doesn't need to be refuelled, use it as you like, if you don't listen," and his eyes moved to the top of the car, Lu Qingjiu clearly saw the lights move silently in another direction, obviously not daring to meet Bai Yuehu's eyes.

"Let's just get a new one." Bai Yuehu concludes glibly.

Lu Qingjiu could only pat the van on the head and reassure it that it was not afraid and that he would not do anything to it. This made the little comrade feel a little better.

After discussing the lorry, Bai Yuehu said that the tomatoes in the field had ripened again and would be ready for sale at the market tomorrow, and that it would be easier now that there was a lorry and no need to bother Uncle Chen.

Lu Qingjiu agrees, and as the weather is getting warmer after half of spring, he needs to start preparing the seeds for the summer. The old house was still without air conditioning, so he thought he would ask someone from the town to come and help him set it up sometime.

The other people in the village were surprised to see that Lu Family had bought a van, and Lu Qingjiu greeted them, saying that if they needed a van they could tell him, and that it was only right that people in the village should help each other out. In fact, Shuifu Village is not very well connected to the outside world and is a relatively closed village, so Lu Qingjiu, who has just arrived here, is the one who goes out the most.

After packing the harvested tomatoes in a sack and stuffing them into the family van, Lu Qingjiu took Yin Xun to the market to sell the vegetables, as there were a lot of tomatoes with him today and he didn't know if he would be able to sell them all.

The two set off before dawn, just thinking to get a good spot at the market. When they arrived, there were already a number of early risers at the market who had started setting up their stalls to sell their vegetables.

Lu Qingjiu and Yin Xun found a spot on the side of the road and opened the boot of the van to reveal the tomatoes inside, then laid a layer of plastic paper on the ground and hollered.

Although there were a lot of tomatoes today, Lu Qingjiu didn't intend to reduce the price, after all, they sold very well last time, so even if he couldn't sell them all this time, it wouldn't be a problem to take them back with him.

However, what Lu Qingjiu didn't expect was that a big customer would come as soon as he opened his stall, and when he saw Lu Qingjiu, he came over here and opened his mouth to say, "Little boss, you're finally here to sell vegetables.

Lu Qingjiu said, "Ah, here we are, want to buy some?"

"Want it." The man nodded and pointed to the tomatoes in this van, "I'll take them all"

Lu Qingjiu: ""Is this man serious?

What the author has to say: Many years later, whenever Lu Qingjiu thinks of the next afternoon Bai Yuehu took him to see the minivan, he wants to say: "I'm glad I didn't ask what it was that changed it!

Bai Yuehu smiles with fascination.
