Taxi at night

Chapter 222, Ding Xiaobai climbs the mountain
Due to the lack of gas in the taxi, Lu Ren didn't dare to wander around, and went directly to the entrance of the bathing center to wait. This is one of his important strongholds, which is most suitable for the current situation: set up a spot to wait and save gas.

The security and management personnel here are very familiar with him, and no one dares to drive him away at will. The business can be guaranteed to a certain extent, and the income is still stable, of course, it is not as good as before.

The situation has not changed in the next few days. Could it be that it will continue for a few more months as Komon said?
The limited amount of refueling is like a magic spell, firmly set on the taxi driver's head, which affects the business to a certain extent.

That night, I received a call from Xiao Du, saying that a four-wheel alignment system had been installed in the store, and a test could be done for free. Lu Ren stopped by at night to take a look, and he saw the new system. There is no car in the store, just in time to check it out.

"Xiao Du, that's fine. You and your father are not satisfied anymore. You have to repair tires. Look at your posture. Are you going to change your career to repair cars?" Xiao Du and his son have not spent the past two years. I opened a tire repair shop with the money from taxis... After the spring of this year, I expanded the business area and rented two vacant houses next to it. I plan to provide one-stop service for car repairs, gas pumps and tire repairs. It seems that the father and son are Prepare to flex your muscles in this line and be ambitious to become bigger and stronger.

"Hey, it's all just fooling around. Anyway, let's try it out. It's good to earn a little more. Brother Lu, I can't compare to you. A car that costs 60 yuan is simply enviable! Thinking back to when I was The car sold for 16 yuan, and I still think it's so powerful...Compared with you now, it's really insignificant, not worth mentioning."

"I bought the car in partnership with others. Half of the car is only 30 yuan. After deducting the capital, I made more than [-] yuan. In fact, this is about the same as what you made when you sold the car. It's not as great as you think. .” Some people don’t understand the details, and really think that Lu Ren earned hundreds of thousands, but in fact it’s far from that much.

Since the car was sold, some so-called acquaintances came to borrow money under various guises from time to time, which annoyed Lu Ren very much.In fact, the family does not know the difficulties of the family, only he himself knows how much he is, and he is far from the standard of the rich, and he is not even considered a start.

"Oh, so that's how it is. It's not as much as I imagined. But it's not bad. You earn more than [-] yuan in less than a year. Compared with you, there are really not many people who can surpass you."

While Xiao Du enthusiastically praised Lu Ren's achievements, he was busy checking the vehicle without delay.

"Where's your dad? Go upstairs to rest!" Lu Ren looked around and didn't see Lao Du's figure, wondering in his heart.

"Business is not too busy tonight, I just went back to rest. Brother Lu, are you interested in partnering together?"

Hearing Xiao Du's words, Lu Ren immediately understood that this guy was also interested in the banknotes in his hand, and borrowed money around the corner.

What kind of partnership?Lu Ren thought to himself, since he doesn't know how to repair cars and doesn't like this business, it is also unwilling for him to spend money here.

"I really want to! But I don't have any money, how can I partner?" Lu Ren glanced at Xiao Du who was full of doubts, and then said: "I just bought a property in Shuangjing Hutong for 15 yuan, and I am planning to carry out another I don’t know how much money I need to fill in after a refurbishment? Anyway, after this item, the money for selling the car is probably not much left...Xiao Du, what should I use to cooperate with you? As the saying goes, a penny It's hard for a hero, and I am the same now."

Xiao Du opened his mouth and showed an embarrassed expression. He never expected that Lu Ren would act so quickly and spend almost all of the money in his hand. If this was the case, naturally he would not be able to cooperate.He thought for a while, then forced a smile and said, "It seems that you are very confident in the real estate, are you going to invest your money in it?"

"Where do I have any real estate? The houses I buy now are basically necessities, just needed, and it's too early to count on them to make money." Lu Ren understands that the more houses he buys, the more money he can make in the future.But buying a house also requires money, and the little money he got from selling the car is only enough to buy a house in Shuangjing Hutong. It is only a luxury to buy a few more houses while the house price is cheap, and it is very unrealistic.

Seeing that there was no hope of borrowing money, Xiao Du was obviously less interested in talking. Lu Ren also had business to do, so he couldn't stay for a long time. After the car's fourth tire was adjusted, the two quickly waved goodbye and went about their own business.

The thing that bothered Lu Ren was still to come. In two days' time, his mother's death day would happen. It happened to be Saturday. On this day, Lu Ren got up early in the morning, packed up his things and was ready to go.

"Brother, I have nothing to go with you today. I kowtow to the old man by the way, which can be regarded as a little bit of my kindness to the younger generation. Besides, I want to go to your hometown to have a look and recognize the family, so I can be more specific. Concept." Tang Xue didn't know what to think, and suddenly made this request, which made Lu Ren hesitate.

"Do you want to follow? It will take a whole day! The countryside is not as good as you think, and it is not as fun and convenient as the city... I went there so early, not to play, you know, I need to clear the graveyard, buy Some items for going to the grave, it’s a big deal. I think you’d better stay at home...how comfortable the city is!”

In fact, there is another point that Lu Ren didn't say clearly, since he married Tan Rui, the husband and wife have not returned to their hometown at the same time, let alone visited the old man's grave.Suddenly bringing the irrelevant Tang Xue home, the villagers' mouths are broken, some things are good and hard to say, it's better to avoid trouble.

"Having said so much, I think you still don't want me to go, you think I will cause you trouble, right? Hmph... If you don't go, you won't go, it seems so rare!" Tang Xue closed the bedroom door again very unhappy , even though Lu Ren repeatedly explained outside the door, he would not respond.

Lu Ren stood outside the door for a while, feeling that he still couldn't agree to come down, sighed, turned around and walked downstairs.

As soon as he walked to the doorway on the first floor, he happened to meet Ding Xiaobai wearing a tracksuit and opening the door with a small luggage on his back: "Ah... that's great, Brother Lu, just give me a ride."

Lu Ren's car was parked downstairs. The two walked to the car and opened the trunk: "Xiaobai, what are you doing here? It doesn't look like you are going to a cram school."

Ding Xiaobai's face was full of joy, and his whole body was full of youthful vigor. Based on Lu Ren's understanding of him, it was very possible to go out to play.

"I went hiking with my classmates today, otherwise, I would have gotten up so early? I haven't even eaten breakfast now." Ding Xiaobai didn't eat breakfast, and neither did Lu Ren. It's still early, so I can find a restaurant on the side of the road to deal with it. Just one click, there is no rush.

"I'm in a hurry to go back to my hometown. I can take you if I drop by, otherwise you can only take another taxi."

"That's it! We're going to climb Mount XX, Brother Lu, do you think we'll be on the way?" Ding Xiaobai was really going on the way, Lu Ren nodded and agreed to see him off.
