The Rise of the Ranch King

Chapter 274 273. Parents learn to drive
This roast duck meal can be regarded as a starting point for the couple to learn to drive.

The family of three devoured the four roast ducks, and the four brothers Gouzi were not idle, destroying all the bones.

When it comes to learning to drive, my parents are a little nervous. Especially my father, maybe due to the influence of the driving learning environment in China, he always feels that his reaction speed will cause trouble to others.

Lin Feng told them to relax. With his connections in the town, this little thing wouldn't be a problem.

According to Montana rules, after passing the theory test, you first apply for a temporary driving license, which is valid for two years, and then go on the road for practical training.

After obtaining a temporary driving permit, you can drive directly on the road accompanied by a person with a driver's license.

Lin Feng has a driver's license, which means that after his parents pass the theory test, he can take them on the road to practice driving without having to go to a driving school.

The driving school instructors here in River Valley Town are all part-time, and they usually have their main job. They will only become instructors when someone is willing to hire them.

Moreover, the organizational structure of the driving school is relatively loose, basically equivalent to an "intermediary".

Lin Feng planned to coach the two of them himself, but if it was not possible, he would look for professionals.

"Mr. Lin, I have eaten your steak in Seattle. The name of that restaurant is very special, it's..." A man came over to chat.

The theoretical registration fee is ten dollars per person. During this time, my parents have been learning traffic knowledge. Lin Feng feels that it is not a big problem.

The theory test is held in a small corner of the hall, with several computers lined up side by side. You can enter your information and answer the questions immediately.

On the way, he gave the couple a good meal and explained the differences in driving tests between China and the United States. They were surprised when they heard that they could drive on the road after passing the written test.

When he saw someone coming in, he was like a hungry ghost seeing steamed buns. He was extremely enthusiastic and made Lin Feng sweat a little.

It is worth mentioning that you need to drive your own car to take the driving test in the United States, and the DMV does not provide a test vehicle.

Although the two of them are a bit older, they still have no big problem with their understanding. In addition, the content of the written test here is relatively simple.

"Lily and the goat." Lin Feng said.

The man slapped his already thin skull, "Yes, that's the name! To be honest, the steak at Lakeside Ranch tastes great!"

After all, the content of the domestic driving test is very perverted, and if you are not careful, you will lose all your points, let alone let you get a temporary driver's license on the road.

Every family here has a car, and more than one. After all, the United States is known as "a country on wheels."

He was quickly recognized by the staff here, some because of the Karen Contest, some because of the recent "Riverdale Cowboy Revolution", etc. In short, they all called out Lin Feng's name.

When you arrive at the vehicle management office, you pay the fee and call your number.

So the staff here were busy helping out with the service, leaving my parents a little overwhelmed.

After 1:30 in the afternoon, Lin Feng drove his Maybach and took his parents to the town's DMV department, which is the vehicle management office here, to register.

He knew his parents would be nervous, but he had been preparing for it for a week.

There was no one in the lobby, and the staff were very laid-back.

Lin Feng waited outside and played with his mobile phone leisurely.

But my parents are still a little nervous. After all, they are not in their own country and they are not that comfortable.

No one doesn't want to be praised, and Lin Feng feels great.

In a sparsely populated place like Montana, the road conditions are simple and the traffic volume is small. Driving does not seem to require advanced skills. Basically, you only need to have good hands.

The staff helped them both enter the exam system and then left.

He told Lin Feng that he could just let his parents sit there and answer the questions slowly. There would be no time limit and no one would invigilate the exam.

Lin Feng thought he was giving himself the green light, but it turned out that this was the case for the American driving test.

There is no time limit and no one is proctoring the exam. There will be people on site secretly checking their cell phones and checking the answers, but no one will care.

However, the vehicle management office in Hehe Town has always been deserted. Only my father and mother are taking the exam there. In theory, they can answer the questions until the staff get off work.

Lin Feng was bored and watched the TV series.

After about half an hour, Dad was the first to come out, with a relaxed smile on his face. "Dad, how are you?" Lin Feng asked impatiently.

"Passed." He said succinctly, and then sat on the chair next to Lin Feng, waiting for his mother's test results.

After a few minutes, my mother also came out with a smile on her face. "I passed too!"

She said excitedly and sat next to her dad.

My mother was so pleased with herself that she started talking about how easy the questions were because she had done them at home.

Taking the first step is indeed worthy of celebration for the two people in their fifties. After all, they have not taken the exam for many years.

Photos were taken on site, hearing and vision were tested, and then a temporary driver's license valid for two years was obtained.

Looking at the temporary driving permit in their hands, both of them looked a little excited.

"Is it okay to drive now?" Dad asked.

Lin Feng smiled and nodded, "But this is only a temporary driver's license. You two have to pass the road test to get a permanent one."

With a temporary driver's license, you can put a brand on the car. In theory, the couple can now own their own car.

I have discussed this issue before. After finishing the exam, Lin Feng plans to buy one for each of his parents.

The couple were quite polite. Mom said just buy one and drive it with your dad.

Come to think of it, there is a Maybach parked in the garage and an Aston Martin that is about to be delivered. It is not a problem to have too many cars sitting in it to collect dust.

I heard from Jia Simin that the road test is also very simple. It is a very primitive test method, not an electronic test, and it is much simpler than in China.

Lin Feng made an appointment for the road test for them on the equipment in the lobby, and chose half a month later.

My parents thought it was too hasty, but Lin Feng disagreed and just let them prepare for the exam in peace.

The Maybach at home became a sparring partner.

After getting the temporary driver's license and coming out of the vehicle management office, Lin Feng asked them if they wanted to give it a try.

The parents looked at each other, a mixture of excitement and nervousness flashing in their eyes.

Dad hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Give it a try, since you're by my side anyway."

Lin Feng smiled and opened the door of the Maybach and let his parents sit in the front and rear seats respectively.

He sat in the passenger seat, preparing to be the coach.

"Adjust the seat and rearview mirror first."

Lin Feng patiently guided his father and then told him how to start the vehicle, shift gears, and use basic operations such as turn signals and wipers.

Dad listened very carefully and followed Lin Feng's instructions step by step.

Although he was a little rusty, with Lin Feng's encouragement, he quickly mastered basic driving skills.

My mother was sitting in the back seat, watching her father drive the Maybach slowly in the empty parking lot, with a happy smile on her face.

She knew that this was an important step towards a new life for the couple.

Accompanied by Lin Feng, my parents practiced several basic operations such as starting, parking, turning and changing lanes in the parking lot.

Although I sometimes made some small mistakes, I gradually found the feeling under Lin Feng's patient guidance.

After practicing for about an hour, my father was able to drive relatively proficiently, but the speed was relatively slow and he was easily nervous when reversing.

My mother was so nervous that she couldn't figure out which direction to turn when reversing.

Lin Feng said it with sincerity, but my mother should have typed it wrong.

He began to understand the furious emotions of domestic coaches, but he still had to control himself and smile, because she was his mother!
