A retired mother bought a Baojun E100 for over 50,000 yuan. The car is less than 2.5 meters long and can be used to pick up her children and buy groceries.

After I turn 50, I often think about my life after retirement. I want to travel with my old man and go square dancing with some old sisters. Although this person is old, his mentality can always be young and his life can be colorful. However, before the plan came to fruition, the second child of the son and daughter-in-law came first. The young couple said they were too busy and wanted to ask me to help take care of their two children. When I thought about it, I was about to retire anyway, and while I could still take care of my children, I had to give them a helping hand as young people.

There is not much to say. The daughter-in-law is mainly responsible for taking care of the second child. I will go out to buy groceries in the morning and take the eldest grandson to and from school. The young couple is quite filial and bought me a Baojun E100 for transportation. They said that electric bikes are like "meat wrapped in iron" and they were worried that it would be unsafe for me to ride them. The body of this Baojun E100 uses a large proportion of high-strength steel, making it solid and safe to drive. And the price is relatively affordable. They said that it only cost a little over 50,000 yuan, and it can bring a lot of conveniences to life, which is a good deal.

I learned to get this driver’s license when I was in my 40s, and I didn’t have many opportunities to drive afterwards, so when I first drove the Baojun E100 this time, I still felt very unfamiliar. However, the length of this car is less than 2.5 meters, so it is quite compact and flexible. Whether it is turning or turning around, I feel quite relaxed. After driving back and forth a few times, I felt very comfortable. My son and daughter-in-law are at home on weekends, so I drive out with my husband for a walk. It’s very convenient to see old colleagues, go to the market, etc.

My eldest grandson’s kindergarten is close to the city center. There are cars coming and going every morning and evening. When parents drive big cars to pick up their children, the entrance will most likely be blocked for a long time, and there is no place to park. My Baojun E100 is more convenient. It can be parked in a corner next to the kindergarten. It doesn't take up space and I don't have to worry about blocking other people's roads. Sometimes I go early and my kids haven’t finished school yet, so I find a corner to park my car and spend a while in the car scrolling through Douyin and reading the news, which is quite fun.

I usually go out to buy groceries, but I’m not very good at driving. After all, my family doesn’t have much food for a day, and I can’t carry it with both hands. But sometimes when I need to go out to buy some daily necessities, I still have to use this Baojun E100. Although this car is small, the space is actually quite sufficient. It can fit about 50 kilograms of rice, a large load of toilet paper, a whole box of mineral water, etc.

The kindergarten where our grandson goes to school is only about 2 or 3 kilometers away from our home, and the trip is about 5 kilometers away. This car can drive 305 kilometers on a full charge, which means it only needs to be recharged once every month. And charging is very convenient. You don’t have to go to a special place to find a charging pile like those big cars on the street. I can charge my car at home, and it can be charged as soon as I wake up. It costs no money and saves trouble. My son drives a gas truck and has to go to gas stations frequently, but this car makes me worry less.

Although it was quite hard to help my son and daughter-in-law take care of the children during this period, they felt sorry for me and bought me a car that was convenient and practical. To be honest, I am quite satisfied. Besides, I am willing to watch my two lovely grandchildren grow up and be happy and happy together as a family, even if they are a little tired.
