Chapter 372 - The Cable Car
Chapter 372: The Cable Car
Translator: Lonelytree
Xiao Lingyu stood on a platform and was speechless.
She was surrounded by a lot of villagers, and they were all talking about the new thing.
“What is this thing? It looks like a big box, but it looks like it can hold people.”
“Yeah, there’s a wire hanging on the big box. What is this thing?”
“Oh, I know.” Someone suddenly shouted, “This is a cable car. Yes, it’s a cable car. I’ve seen it on TV.”
“Ah, a cable car. Now that you mention it, it really is.” Someone echoed.
Although the Taoyuan Village was a little poor in the past, things had changed. Many families had bought television sets. They learned many things from it.
Indeed, the thing causing the villagers to gather around was a cable car.
Xiao Lingyu didn’t know when it was installed.
But today, Gong Tianhao dragged her to this place and told her, “In the future, if you want to go up the mountain, use this cable car. This cable car leads to every mountain. You will go to whichever mountain you want to go to.”
This way, he could stop the possibility of an accident to the minimum. He wouldn’t limit Xiao Lingyu’s freedom simply because she was pregnant. He was not that kind of man.
The last evening, when he talked to Li Yuanhang on the phone about this, Li Yuanhang gave him this idea. If it was too dangerous to climb up the mountains, then skip the climbing!
He got excited and immediately asked Li Yuanhang to arrange for people to install the cable car system overnight.
Gong Tianhao introduced, “This cable car route stops at the middle and the summit of the mountains. Every mountain has its own platforms.”
Xiao Lingyu couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her mouth. Being rich was powerful.
By right, installing the cable car system should be very noisy. But Gong Tianhao had managed to do that without making a sound. The manpower and material required would be astronomical.
When Mother Xiao and Father Xiao saw the cable car, they were excited.
They also knew from the television that this was called a cable car. For many mountain tourist destinations, they would provide cable car services for people who didn’t want to hike. The cable car would help them reach the summit in no time.
Along the way, they could also take a look at the beautiful scenery.
Mother Xiao was happy. She said to Father Xiao beside her, “Father, Tianhao is really attentive and meticulous. He has done everything for Yu ‘Er!”
Naturally, they understood why Gong Tianhao suddenly installed the cable car. It was for Xiao Lingyu!
Yesterday, they had reprimanded Gong Tianhao and Xiao Lingyu. Xiao Lingyu went up the mountain while pregnant, and the other allowed her to take risks without thinking!
Today, Gong Tianhao did something that was out of everyone’s expectations.
Father Xiao nodded in agreement, “Yes. Tianhao is really considerate of Yu ‘Er.”
A villager suddenly came over and asked, “Zhengyang, Qiuying, is this called a cable car? How should we sit on it?”
These farmers had not been on a cable car before.
“This box is hung on a thin rope. Won’t it fall?”
“Yes. Is it safe?”
“How can it not be safe when it’s meant for humans to sit in it?”
“You’re right.”
“But this is installed by Young Master Gong, right? Why would he suddenly install something like this?”
The villagers were confused.
At this moment, Gong Tianhao held Xiao Lingyu’s hand and led her to the platform. He said to Xiao Lingyu, “Yu ‘Er, let’s go for a ride and try it out.”
Xiao Lingyu looked at Gong Tianhao with a complicated expression. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something.
Gong Tianhao shook her hand and tidied her bangs. He smiled gently and said, “Don’t worry. I tried this cable car last night. It’s very safe.”
Xiao Lingyu noticed a hint of blackness under his eyes. ‘Did he not sleep yesterday night? Was he here personally supervising the installation?
Xiao Lingyu’s guess was right.
Since this was meant for Xiao Lingyu, it had to be 100 percent safe. Gong Tianhao would only feel at ease if he was there personally to supervise and test everything.
Realizing that, Xiao Lingyu felt like she couldn’t refuse him. She was dragged along by Gong Tianhao and she was brought into the cable car.
Gong Tianhao fastened her seatbelt. Then, he sat beside her and hugged Xiao Lingyu’s waist in a protective manner.
Xiao Lingyu did not know when the cable car started.
It was a lie to say that Xiao Lingyu was not touched.
She wanted to thank him, but she did not know how to. She knew what Gong Tianhao wanted was not her gratitude but her…3
“Yu Er, what do you think of the speed of this cable car? Do you feel that it is too fast and that you are feeling dizzy and uncomfortable?” Gong Tianhao suddenly asked Xiao Lingyu, who was in the car, with a blank expression.
He was really concerned about this. If Xiao Lingyu had any discomfort, he would get someone to adjust and improve the cable car system.
This cable car was designed for Xiao Lingyu. He did not care if the others were uncomfortable. He only cared if Xiao Lingyu was comfortable.
When he saw Xiao Lingyu’s stiff expression, he wanted to divert her attention.
‘When Gong Tianhao asked her, Xiao Lingyu came back to her senses. She focused on the ride and said, “This speed is just right. It’s very comfortable.”
Gong Tianhao nodded and said, “Okay, that’s good!”
Then, the two of them fell into silence again.
However, the two people who got on the cable car didn’t know how much of a commotion they caused after they got on the car.
“ah, they’re in the car. They’re in the car.”
Seeing Gong Tianhao carefully escort Xiao Lingyu onto the cable car, some people immediately exclaimed, “They look like they’re getting on a bus!”
“You’re so backward. How can you compare a cable car to a bus?” Someone immediately laughed and said, “Everyone here can afford to take a bus. But this cable car is different. I hear that cable cars are only available at famous tourist destinations. A ride on it cost several hundred RMB.” When he said this,
his eyes were filled with envy.
Another person immediately asked Father Xiao and Mother Xiao, “Zhengyang, Qiuying, if we take the cable car up the mountain in the future, do we need to pay for it?”
The moment she asked this question, she was despised by the people next to her.
“Why do you want to take the cable car up the mountain? Are you pregnant? Can’t you climb up the mountain with your feet?”
“That’s right.” Someone immediately echoed, “We are farmers. Haven’t we been walking up the mountains all our lives? Now that someone sees a cable car, they want to take the shortcut. How shameless.”
“Who are you calling shameless?” The person yelped. Her face turned green and white.
Indeed, she wanted to use the cable car. She was too lazy to walk up the mountains anymore.
“L didn’t mention anyone by name. If you think you’re shameless, sure.” The person didn’t want to argue.
“You…” Li Xiuhua glared angrily at the person who said this. Then, she said loudly to that person, “Zhou Xiuzhi, I don’t believe that you don’t want to try riding this cable car.”
Xiao Zhengyang and Chen Qiuying’s expressions immediately turned ugly.
This cable car was specially installed by Gong Tianhao for their daughter.
‘Their daughter had just sat on the cable car, and there were already so many villagers who wanted to ride it too. They really thought this was a bus to the town and anyone could get on it.
Chen Qiuying said. “I don’t know if it will cost money to take the cable car or not. After all, it was built by Young Master Gong.
“However, I have no idea when our village’s people became so delicate.
“People can’t even walk up the mountains anymore? In that case, our family won’t dare to hire such delicate workers.”
The moment Mother Xiao said that, the expressions of some people present changed.
They wanted to take the cable car to save some energy, but they weren’t willing to get fired over it.
Immediately, some people didn’t dare to make a sound.
Compared to taking a cable car, it was more practical to earn money..
