Taxi at night

Chapter 203, Gao Liumei's decision

Lu Ren met Xiao Wen at the gas station, the two had a conversation, and after the gas cylinder was filled, Lu Ren waved goodbye.

"Brother Lu, wait a minute." Xiao Wen's crisp voice suddenly came from behind the car, so Lu Ren stopped the car and saw Xiao Wen coming from behind.

"What's the matter?"

"Remember the KTV incident a few years ago?"

Xiaowen mentioned a past event that happened years ago, Lu Ren recalled it all at once, and nodded.

"You count it up to 800 yuan." Xiaowen took out a few hundred yuan bills from his overalls and handed them to Lu Ren.

"You're in a hurry... Well, let me count." Lu Ren quickly counted in his hand, exactly eight, and said with a smile, "That's right, it's exactly 800 yuan. We're both settled."

"In two days, some of my colleagues would like to treat you to dinner. Thank you for your selfless help...Brother Lu, you must come!" Xiaowen waited for Lu Ren to put the money in his pocket, and then proposed another unexpected Lu Ren couldn't bear to refuse such an unexpected request.

"Okay! I'm usually free during the day, so you can arrange it as you like!"

"Okay, I'll ask them when I turn around to see when it will be better." Xiaowen said seriously.

After getting out of the gas filling station, Lu Ren turned around, but he didn't find a passenger, so he gave up the idea of ​​pulling people.Find a leeward place, close the car door tightly, leaving only a ventilation gap, wrap up your coat, and fall asleep with your head buried.

After sleeping until dawn, Lu Ren woke up from his sleep when he vaguely heard the sound of pedestrians running.

Looking at the twilight sky in the distance, breathing in the fresh morning air, Lu Ren thought to himself: A brand new day has begun again.

When the car was handed over at 07:30, Jia Gui, who was on the night shift, hadn't arrived by car yet, and Wang Dongfang came swaying on his bicycle on time.

When someone walked up to him, Lu Ren realized that something was wrong. Wang Dongfang seemed to be walking with a limp, and there were obvious scratches on his face. He was puzzled and asked, "Old Wang, what's the matter? He fell down. "

Wang Dongfang smiled wryly, and murmured: "Last night, there were guests at home, and they didn't leave until ten o'clock. When they went out to see off the guests, they accidentally fell into the sewage ditch... This is what it looks like now."

"My legs are a little lame, is that okay?"

"It's okay. Fortunately, I wear thick clothes in winter. It's just a sprain. Driving is not a problem." Wang Dongfang stretched his legs and proved to the boss that there was no major problem.

"Driving is no small matter. You are an old driver. I just don't emphasize some things, but you understand."

"Boss, don't worry, I don't mean to be brave in the slightest. As long as I feel a little uncomfortable, I won't force myself to drive."

"Well, I still believe you on this point."

Before the two of them finished speaking, Jia Gui came over in time, only a few minutes away.

"Boss, I saw you sleeping at the intersection in the middle of the night last night. Didn't you have a good rest these days?" Jia Gui asked with a smile while taking money out of his pocket.

"If you can't get anyone, what are you doing if you don't sleep?" Lu Ren stretched out his hand to take the money from Jia Gui, and counted it carefully, "Oh, I ran a lot last night! It's almost 400 yuan. How much is it for running late?"

"Less than 300?" Jia Gui asked bluntly.

"You're really right. If it weren't for the tens of dollars you ran in the morning, your results last night would be nothing to mention."

Sometimes sports cars are like this, and luck also accounts for a large part. Let’s use a simple analogy: two passengers come out of the station and take two taxis, one for long-distance and the other for short-distance. Obviously, people who run long-distance Definitely make money, those who didn't take the long distance are a bit unlucky.

Lu Ren's luck last night was just like this, and there were many people there. Unfortunately, they were all short trips, and he didn't meet any long-term earners, so the money he earned was much less than Jia Gui's.

"Maybe it will be fine tonight. Old Wang, what's wrong with your face?? Fighting with your wife... your legs are also limping?" Jia Gui finally found out about Wang Dongfang's situation, and started to make a fuss. Wang Dongfang didn't bother to pay attention to him. Just drive away.

"I fell over drinking last night." Lu Ren explained to Jia Gui who was looking at him with a puzzled expression. The young man understood that Wang Dongfang was embarrassed to say so that he would not be laughed at.

When Lu Ren returned home, Tang Xue got up early and prepared breakfast.At this time, many breakfast spots are not open for business, and the residents in the community can only cook by themselves. This situation may not be gradually improved until after the eighth day of the lunar new year.

"Is this something prepared?" Lu Ren glanced at the gift bag behind the door. He didn't know what items Tang Xue had prepared. He needed to check it after eating.

"Of course, I made the preparations last night, so as not to panic and mess up this morning."

"Yao Qin also has a girl who is in elementary school, do you have any presents from her?"

"Yes! I bought her a set of toys, I think she will like it." Tang Xue said confidently.Lu Ren never doubted this point, only what Tang Xue was willing to do, almost everything was satisfactory.

"Xiaoxue, what do you say if this matter can't be done?" Lu Ren felt that Tang Xue needed to be vaccinated. As the saying goes: the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

"Then what else can I do? Continue to stay in the country! Even if I want to resign, you won't agree!" Lu Ren felt relieved when he heard this. It seems that this girl understands in her heart that she doesn't need to say anything more .

"Brother, do you know? I went shopping with Sister Gao yesterday afternoon, and I overheard that she was going to sell the taxi... Is this something you two discussed?" What Tang Xue said inadvertently, suddenly Startled Lu Ren, she hastily put down her chopsticks, and asked Tang Xue seriously: "We have never discussed about selling a car, it's strange, Gao Liumei really told you this?"

"Yes! She said that the price of the car has risen to more than 50 yuan. If you sell it, you can get at least 20 yuan. Where can I find such a good thing? And she also said that everything has its ups and downs. According to her estimate, taxi prices are likely to fall sharply in the second half of the year, and instead of that, it is better to sell them now, saying that this is called: pocketing peace of mind."

The news revealed by Tang Xue was quickly digested in Lu Ren's brain. If Gao Liumei really decided to sell the car, it would be difficult for him to stop him. He felt a little troublesome for a while.

Of course, the best way is to spend money to buy the other half, but where can I get so much money in a short time?

Taking a step back, even with so much money raised, Lu Ren might not easily make up his mind. After all, it was 30 to [-] yuan in cash, and perhaps investing it elsewhere could yield greater returns.

Anyway, the news brought by Tang Xue made Lu Ren feel bad all of a sudden, his eating speed slowed down obviously, he was thinking about countermeasures and decided to make a choice.

"Brother, actually, I think what Sister Gao said is quite reasonable. You have to admit that the price of taxis is at a high level now, and there is not much room for increase. It should indeed be an excellent opportunity to sell. So I also agree to sell the car. Only one car is left in hand, so that it can advance and retreat freely, which is great!"

Tang Xue's words seemed to make sense, and Lu Ren couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
