Taxi at night

Chapter 202, Lonely Xiaowen
Lu Ren sent Ding Xiaobai home. As soon as he reached the gate of the community, he saw Ding Xiaobai's mother standing there talking with a well-built middle-aged man. A white BMW with the license plate number Lu Ren was parked beside him. Very familiar, because this car has appeared more than once in the community.

"Xiaobai, your father is here." Ding Xiaobai's father looked imposing, like a relatively successful businessman.Although the husband and wife have been divorced for many years, they always come here every once in a while, bringing a lot of gifts to the mother and son, and the car is full of large and small bags.At this time, Ding Xiaobai's mother always stood aside and watched coldly, her face neither happy nor angry, as if she was seeing a passerby.

"Good job, I'm worried that I don't have any pocket money, and the God of Wealth has arrived." Ding Xiaobai showed a gleam of joy on his face, and hurriedly took out the money to pay the bill, and hurried over.

"Where have you been? Your mother has been waiting here for a long time. What's going on? There is only one year left to take the college entrance examination. If you don't hurry up to review, you are still in the mood to go out and play at this time!..." Ding Xiaobai's father's voice fluctuated. , into Lu Ren's eardrums intermittently, looking like a strict father.

Ding Xiaobai's mother whispered a few words, then took her son home, leaving her ex-husband behind.

Lu Ren was also a man who was going to be a father soon, and this scene made him feel a little emotional.

He was thinking: How is it that you don't know your wife is not around?I don't know if it's a boy or a girl?When the child grows up, will he be like Ding Xiaobai...So, he sat in the car, lit a cigarette and savored it slowly...The lights flickered, and Lu Ren noticed the white BMW slowly passing by him. He drove by, stopped suddenly, and then the car slowly fell beside him and stopped.

Ding Xiaobai's father pushed open the car door and walked straight towards Lu Ren.

"Hello, I'm Ding Xiaobai's father, we should know each other, right?" The visitor greeted him with a smile.

"Hello, we can only be considered familiar, I don't know you." Lu Ren didn't have a good impression of the man in front of him. According to what he knew, Ding Xiaobai's father was married twice, while his mother was still unmarried. Living with Ding Xiaobai seems more worthy of sympathy.

"Uh... yes! Let me introduce formally, Ding Zhiqiang, Ding Xiaobai's biological father... your surname is Lu, right? Your lover knows me, and I have a good relationship with his parents... But I didn't come over when you got married. I'm out of town... No wonder you don't know me...haha." Ding Xiaobai's father was taken aback, quickly adjusted his facial expression, and introduced himself, not sure if it was true or not.

In any case, since he condescended to talk, Lu Ren naturally couldn't keep his face tense, so he also showed a smile and said, "I see, I don't know, what does Boss Ding want from me?"

"Just chatting, let's make another friend." Ding Zhiqiang laughed, took out a cigarette and gave it to Lu Ren, lit one himself, took a puff silently, and asked casually, "I really want to know Where did Xiaobai go just now? Can you tell me?"

"How do I know this? But I met him on the road and brought him here." Lu Ren hesitated, remembering his promise to Ding Xiaobai, and unconsciously lied.

"Just now I found mud on his clothes and on his palms... as if he fell down. I was curious, where did he drink? Where did he get in the car? Xiao Lu, as his father, I miss you I can understand my mood at this moment." Ding Zhiqiang saw Lu Ren's hesitation at a glance, and he was even more puzzled, hoping to impress Lu Ren with his father-son affection, so as to understand what his son was doing tonight.

"This..." Lu Ren was thinking about how to answer in his mind. At this moment, Ding Zhiqiang's cell phone rang, just in time to help him out.

"Hey, good son...do you have anything to do with dad?" It turned out that it was Ding Xiaobai who called, and Ding Zhiqiang seemed very happy.

"Uh...Okay! I haven't left yet, I'm talking to Xiao Lu...Yes, you can see it when you get out of the gate of the community..." Ding Zhiqiang put down the phone, turned back and smiled and said to Lu Ren: "I was talking about him just now, immediately Come here, this kid doesn't dare to ask for money in front of his mother, he sneaked out."

"Well... I'll leave first, and I have to earn money to support the family, right?" The father and son met in private, and it was not easy for outsiders to see, so Lu Ren thought it was better to leave.

"That's good...Xiao Lu, I'll contact you later."

"See you."

Lu Ren drove away from Ding Zhiqiang and started his "night watch life" again.

On the first day of work, I felt that time passed so fast, it was early morning in the blink of an eye, and I was looking for a place to eat a bowl of ramen.

After midnight on the fifth day of the first lunar month, there were basically no pedestrians on the street. Even the bustling places such as train stations and bus stations, which are usually crowded with people, were deserted and lonely at the moment, so at this time, business was surprisingly cold.

When Lu Ren came out after eating, he saw the red light on the air pressure in the gas cylinder. He knew that he needed to refill, so he took the opportunity to go to the gas station where Xiao Wen was, so as to say hello to her for New Year's greetings.

There was no car waiting to be refueled at the gas station, so Lu Ren drove directly into the gas station without queuing and parked at a suitable location.Looking around, there was no one there, so he honked the horn. Not long after, the door of the duty room rang, and a girl came out from inside.

"Happy New Year! Are you the only one on duty?" The girl who came out was Xiao Wen. She was sleepy and hadn't woken up from the daze until she heard Lu Ren's voice. Smart, fully awake.

"Hey, Big Brother Lu, you're back." Xiaowen yawned and talked while listlessly picking up the air gun, ready to refill Lu Ren's taxi.

"I just came back at noon today, how about you? Have you returned to your hometown?"

"No, during the Chinese New Year, I will help others to cover their shifts. I can ask for leave tomorrow and go home to play for a few days."

"Other people work overtime during Chinese New Year, so you have worked hard enough." Lu Ren said sympathetically, but Xiao Wen shook his head after hearing this, and said, "It's actually not hard, and I feel much more comfortable than usual. Think about it, it’s Chinese New Year... How many people come out to refuel? The main reason is loneliness, not being lively at home, and there are people playing with you..."

"Yo, be careful..." Lu Ren saw Xiao Wen stepped on the empty steps and fell towards him. With sharp eyes and quick hands, he hurriedly helped him over with both hands, and Xiao Wen slammed into Lu Ren's arms.

"Thank you, if it wasn't for you, I would have fallen." Xiaowen blushed, stood up straight quickly, and said embarrassedly.

"I think you are still dozing off. If a bag falls out of your head at night, your colleagues will laugh their teeth out tomorrow." Lu Ren held back the smile in his heart and joked.

"It's not that I haven't touched it before. One night, I forgot to wear my glasses, and as a result, my nose hit a pillar. It hurt so much that I called my mother..." Xiaowen blew up his embarrassment, covered his mouth and laughed lightly after he finished speaking.
