Chapter 008: The Car Doesn't Leave
At 1:50, the minibus arrived in Shixi Town, and Jiang Feng was about to wake up Luo Tong, but Luo Tong woke up by himself, probably because he felt that the car stopped suddenly.
"Awake?" Jiang Feng looked at her with a smile and said.
"Well, it's all here so soon?" Luo Tong's pretty face was a little red, and he looked outside and said with some surprise, as if he felt that the time was too short, and he wanted to stay in Jiang Feng's arms for a while.
"It's not early, it's almost two o'clock. You're there, and I'll have to sit for a while. Jiang Feng said with a smile.
Luo Tong looked at Jiang Feng, wanted to speak again and again, and finally said, "Jiang Feng, go to my house and sit down?" ”
When she said this, her eyes were full of expectation.
Jiang Feng shook his head and said, "No, it's inconvenient today, Xiao Hui is still waiting for me at Lily." When I left in the morning, I called her and said that I was going to their house today. ”
Hearing Jiang Feng's words, a trace of disappointment appeared on Luo Tong's face, and he said: "That's the case, that's true, it's not good to make people wait in this cold day." ”
Jiang Feng nodded.
At this time, the voice of the driver in front of him sounded: "You all got out of the car, what are you still sitting for?" ”
Hearing the driver's words, Jiang Feng was stunned, isn't this car going to Lily, why is it here, the driver will bombard everyone to get out of the car.
Before Jiang Feng could speak, some of the remaining passengers quit.
"Master, isn't this car to Lily? Why don't you go? ”
"Yes, all the tickets I bought were to Lily. This is Stony Brook! ”
……
Everyone was gossiping, and the driver was annoyed, and said unhappily: "This car will go to Stone Creek, where will it go to what lily?" Get out of the car, I'm going to lock the doors! ”
One of the passengers said loudly: "If you don't go to Lily, what sign will you hang in front of you?" The tickets we buy are all to Lily, you don't go to Lily. So why are you taking our tickets? ”
"yes, isn't this a pit man?" Another passenger picked up.
When the driver saw that everyone didn't move, he was also a little angry.
"This car is an extra car. It's good to be able to run, where did you get so many picks and chooses? All get off the bus and I'll see if there's a car to Lily. I'll call you one. ”
After listening to the driver's words, Jiang Feng understood that the car was not originally not going to Lily, but because the driver saw that there were not a few people left in the car, he felt that it was not cost-effective, so he didn't run. After all, there are more than ten kilometers of land in the past Lily here, and the road conditions are even worse, and you have to run for almost an hour to get there.
And if you don't go to Lily. Turn around and go back to the city right away, and you can catch a shift. This time and again, that would make at least two or three hundred more yuan.
Jiang Feng had not seen such a situation in his previous life. Those minibuses that run in the countryside. When there are few customers, there are often such moths.
At this time, these drivers, he didn't really have any reason with the passengers, because there were very few people who ran passenger transportation at this time, just a few cars, and you couldn't take his car. This would have been a few years later. There are more cars running passenger transport, and they don't dare to do it so blatantly. Just to bomb people out of the car, they will also find another car and pull the rest of the passengers away.
When Jiang Feng thought this, one of the passengers spoke.
"You liar, what kind of car will go to Lily on this Stony Creek Street?"
"If you don't have a car, you wait, there will always be a car behind you." The driver said with a dark face.
A few passengers and the driver over there were grinding their tongues, and Luo Tong asked Jiang Fengdao: "Jiang Feng, what should I do now?" I look at the driver, he definitely won't go. It takes at least half an hour to wait for the next bus to Lily, and maybe people won't go there, after all, there are relatively few people who go to Lily. Why don't you go to our house and give Xiao Hui a call? ”…,
Jiang Feng knew that what Luo Tong said was also true, Lily is a small township, and now the economy is underdeveloped, and the passenger flow is very small. However, he still shook his head and said, "Next time, Xiao Hui may be on Lily Street now, and the phone call may not be able to get through." ”
After speaking, Jiang Feng turned back to the driver and said, "Master, I'm in a hurry to go to Lily, let's add money, how about you send us to Lily?" ”
The driver glared at Jiang Feng and said unhappily: "Add money?" How much money can you add? ”
And several other passengers also shouted in displeasure: "Young man, how do you speak?" If you want to add money, you add money yourself, don't get us involved. We bought Lily's tickets and wanted to leave us halfway through, but there was no such thing. ”
"That's it!"
Jiang Feng was stunned, he didn't expect that he would be angry with one sentence. Only then did he remember that these were poor people, and even if it was just one or two dollars, they looked very closely. As for the driver, he wanted to go back to the city and run again, but he would earn hundreds, and he didn't believe that Jiang Feng would be able to add so much money to him.
"Forget it, Jiang Feng, let's get out of the car, I'll go to the street to help you find it, and see if you can find a car to Lily." Luo Tong pulled Jiang Feng's arm and whispered.
Jiang Feng nodded, looking at the current situation, there was only that. Although Jiang Feng has money, he will not take two or three hundred to fill the black-hearted driver.
So, Jiang Feng took his travel bag and got out of the car with Luo Tong.
Coming to the town, Luo Tong helped Jiang Feng find a tricycle with a tent. When Jiang Feng and Luo Tong negotiated the price with the car owner and were about to get in the car and leave, a woman's voice came from behind: "Wait a minute! ”
Jiang Feng turned his head and saw that it was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young woman talking, carrying a large bag, and was hurrying to this side.
"You...... You guys...... This car is ...... Go to Lily, right? The young woman asked, panting, as she arrived.
Jiang Feng nodded, he had seen this girl on the minibus just now, and she should have also gone to Lily.
"That'...... Can...... Take me one? The girl asked.
Luo Tong set his sights on Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng nodded and said, "No problem." Sit down anyway. ”
"Thank you so much!" The girl hurriedly thanked Jiang Feng and Luo Tong.
"Let's go!" The owner of the tricycle over there was already talking a little unhappily. On this cold day, no one wants to drink the northwest wind outside.
"Okay, master, you can go." Jiang Feng said to the owner of the tricycle, and then turned to Luo Tong and said, "Luo Tong, go home, it's too cold outside." ”
"Okay. I'll go back right away. Jiang Feng, goodbye! Luo Tong smiled and said goodbye to Jiang Feng.
"Goodbye!" Jiang Feng also waved his hand.
At this time, the young woman beside him said to Jiang Feng again: "Thank you, sir." If it weren't for you, I'd have had to wait on this street for I don't know how long. ”
"It's nothing, it's just a gesture." Jiang Feng shrugged his shoulders and said it didn't matter.
The young woman seemed to be interested in Jiang Feng. Seeing that he didn't follow, he took the initiative to ask: "This gentleman, I see that you are very fresh, where are you from Lily?" ”
Jiang Feng shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I'm not from Lily, it's just that I have a friend who wants to go to her house to pay New Year's greetings." I don't know where her house is, but I was asked to get off the bus on Lily Street, and she would pick me up on the street, and then we would go to Xiaojia Village, where her house was located. ”
"Xiaojia Village? Are you going to Xiaojia Village? Oh, what a coincidence, my home is in Xiaojia Village! The young woman looked at Jiang Fengdao excitedly. What's your friend's name? I usually know everyone in the village. ”…,
"Oh? That's a coincidence. Jiang Feng couldn't help but be happy when he heard it, he didn't expect that he would meet a person from the same village as Xiao Hui on Shixi Street so coincidentally, and he was also quite surprised.
"My friend's name is Xiao Hui, she is from Xiaojia Village, and her father's name is Xiao Daizong." Jiang Feng smiled.
"Sister Xiao Hui? Are you a friend of Sister Xiao Hui? The young woman nodded excitedly. You know, of course I know Sister Xiao Hui, her father is my cousin. It's just that after Sister Xiao Hui went out to school, I also went out to work, and I haven't seen her for almost two years, and I don't know what she has become. But she used to be the prettiest girl in our village. ”
Jiang Feng nodded in agreement, for Xiao Hui's beauty. He had never doubted it.
"It's really fateful, hehe, then let's go all the way, by the way, you can be my guide, save me a detour." Jiang Feng said with a smile.
"Okay, let's go together when we get there. Speaking of which, I would have to thank you, if it weren't for you, I would have had to wait for the bus on Stony Brook Street. The girl thought of this and said angrily, "I really didn't expect Brother Liu to become so bad, he is also from Lily Township, and his hometown is a little road away from Xiaojia Village. ”
The girl said that Brother Liu must be the driver who drove just now. He didn't drive the car to its destination, which in the girl's eyes was a lie.
"Hehe, don't blame him, it's not easy to come out to make a living, you have to spare people and spare people." Although Jiang Feng felt that the driver's actions were a little inappropriate, it was not enough to hurt other people's bodies and minds, and at most he would cheat some money, which was not very serious.
The girl listened to Jiang Feng's words, smiled and nodded.
With a companion, they gradually became familiar with each other and could spend this boring time well, and soon Jiang Feng and the girl had a general understanding of each other.
The girl's name is Xiao Xuemei, and it turns out that all the people in Xiao's village are surnamed Xu, except for those who marry from other villages. Xiao Xuemei is a textile worker working in Lingnan Province, who has been away for a year, and even stayed in the factory because of double her salary for overtime during the Chinese New Year, and she finally took the time to go home today. For such a hard-working working girl, Jiang Feng actually admires it very much.
From the bottom of my heart, in fact, all people in this country should not discriminate against and look down on migrant workers and migrant girls, if it were not for their hard work, how could there be a happy life and strong national strength now? In fact, the most respectable thing is that they are the children of peasants who demand the lowest salary, but do the hardest and most tiring work, without them, who can imagine what the city will become?
Jiang Feng just briefly introduced him, but he didn't say what it had to do with Xiao Hui, nor did he say anything about his family status and property, for him, these had nothing to do with Xiao Xuemei. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
