Taxi at night

Chapter 220, Meeting Guo Yi Again

Lu Ren wanted to take his wife home, but was opposed by his mother-in-law, who gave a high-sounding reason: "Why do you go back? Now that you go back, the climate can be hot and cold, and you are prone to get sick. It's far less convenient than living in the warm environment in the south. Besides, There is no one to wait on Tan Rui when she goes back, she is too heavy to move around, and she cannot live without people..." In short, I strongly disagree with Lu Ren's opinion.

"I'm going to give birth in less than two months. If I don't go home now, it will be even more difficult to have a big belly in the future. I can't give birth to the baby here, right?... If you are inconvenient, you can ask someone to take care of it. This has been planned long ago." Lu Ren It's not that Tan Rui has to go back, as long as it's good for the child, he can live anywhere.

It's just that the mother-in-law's tough attitude made Lu Ren very dissatisfied, as if he couldn't do anything without her help.It's not that she feels that this marriage is not to her liking, and she always feels like she's a climber.It's really unreasonable, the marriage of two people is a matter of your love and my wish, and I didn't dare to drag her daughter and force her into this marriage.

Lu Ren turned to his daughter-in-law, "What do you mean? Are you going back now, or giving birth here?"

Tan Rui looked at her husband in embarrassment, then turned to look at her mother: "Lu Ren, I really think it's good to give birth here, my mother has prepared everything, if you really go back, you still have to work, I'm at home alone It's also inconvenient, or else I'll follow my mother's arrangement..."

"Did you hear that? I don't know what you think. What are you doing when you go back? Can your parents-in-law come over to take care of Tan Rui? Can someone take care of you? Can I take care of you? Besides, we also hire people here , can my daughter treat her badly? Aren’t you busy, go back and do your work! Make more money, and don’t let my daughter suffer with you.” The truth is good, but beyond words, But there was another hidden meaning, which made Lu Ren frown, but couldn't say anything else.

The mother-in-law's family rented a house in the south. The area is not small, with three bedrooms and two living rooms. I heard that the monthly rent alone is not a decimal. .Now that his wife was not on his side, Lu Ren lost his mind and stopped insisting that Tan Rui go back to his hometown together.

Lu Ren stayed with his wife in the south for more than a week. It was very boring to do nothing every day. He also had a conflict with his mother-in-law and his family. He also saw that his wife really liked living here, so he couldn't force it. In the end, he had to come back in despair alone. Sullen and unhappy, only after setting foot on the land of his hometown, did he breathe a sigh of relief: finally came back!

When I saw Zhang Jia in the evening, Wang Dongfang had resigned before that and was looking for another job. This was one of the reasons why Lu Ren was eager to come back.

Zhang Jia has been driving very comfortably in the past two days, there is no time limit for switching shifts, and he can drive however he wants!It was a pity that Lu Ren came back so early, knowing that such a good time would never come back.

Seeing this, Lu Ren was overjoyed. He briefly asked about the performance of the past two days, and gave Zhang Jia some seafood he brought back from the south to taste.

Tang Xue didn't come back today, and she bluntly said on the phone that he would meet him at noon tomorrow. Lu Ren also smiled silently, knowing that it was a lie to settle accounts.

During the ten days he was gone, Tang Xue's income from the taxi was in Tang Xue's hands every day. Secondly, the house that Uncle Li had just bought was rented out again, and the deposit collected had to be handed over to Lu Ren...

When he started the taxi again, Lu Ren felt that he had regained his vitality. He liked this kind of work and was free. Although it was a little hard work, he had the final say on how much he could earn.

Freedom is sometimes more important than making money. Anyway, Lu Ren thinks so, that's why he doesn't want to work in a factory, and he doesn't want to work hard to become a small business owner. ...He just wants to be a laborer who is in charge of his own life, and he doesn't want to have too many additional constraints.

The air in the gas tank of the taxi was maintained until 11 o'clock, when Lu Ren drove to the gas station to refill, Xiaowen saw him all of a sudden, and a gleam of joy appeared on his innocent face: "Brother Lu, you are back, and sister-in-law is also back? "

"Your sister-in-law doesn't want to come back. It's comfortable to stay in the south, and my parents are waiting for me. I really don't want to leave... No, I will come back alone."

"Hee...then you don't have to worry about it, just focus on earning money." Xiao Wen said with a smile.

"It's not that I want to worry, but I can't do it if I don't want to!" Lu Ren wanted to see the moment when the child was born, which was an important moment in life, but the old mother-in-law didn't give him this opportunity. He fought for it, but It was a failure.

"I heard that gas refilling is limited for a while, what's going on?"

"I don't know very well. Anyway, there is only a fixed amount every day. You have to wait until tomorrow. Unlike before, you can add as much gas as you want. Now each taxi can only add up to 30 yuan a day. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be such a long queue.” Hearing Xiao Wen’s words, Lu Ren murmured inwardly. He had encountered such a situation before when the gas was tight, and now it’s the same when filling gas. What does this mean?
Lu Ren often watched the news broadcast, so he also knew some economic matters.This kind of situation is often the result of rapid economic development, and the plan cannot keep up with the changes, resulting in an imbalance between supply and demand for a while.

"30 yuan, how can it be? My gas tank needs at least 60 yuan to fill it up, which will affect my business." Lu Ren is really impatient, the price of gas and oil are not in the same gear at all, the difference between the two The difference is that if you switch to gasoline for rental, the profit margins will be much smaller. Can you not be in a hurry to get angry?
"It can only be like this for the time being. I heard from the leadership meeting that it will take at least two or three months to completely alleviate the situation."

"In this way, it will be difficult for taxis to run." Lu Ren felt emotional, thinking about how to get through this difficult time.

After queuing for nearly an hour, it was finally Lu Ren's turn, and it was exactly what Xiao Wen said, even if there was no extra dollar, it was really disappointing.

Driving a taxi with a half-filled tank of gas, Lu Ren no longer dared to wander around casually. He decided to find a place to eat to fill his stomach first, and then think of countermeasures.

It was past zero at this time, and there were taxis with flashing empty lights waiting quietly at every major traffic intersection. These drivers had the same idea as Lu Ren, try to save gas as much as possible, and never use it empty unless it is a last resort.

At the entrance of a restaurant, Lu Ren saw Guo Yi's car. It was normal to find acquaintances for dinner. Lu Ren leaned the car against Guo Yi's taxi, got out of the car, entered the restaurant, and found him in the box.

"Hey, old Lu, long time no see, come, come, come and have a drink." Guo Yi held the wine glass and drank to himself, feeling very happy.
