Taxi at night

Chapter 131, Cell Phone

A few years ago, the land in the village where Uncle Li lived was occupied and developed by a large number of merchants, and he was compensated for the land occupation fee of one hundred thousand yuan at once.Relying on this unexpected huge sum of money, Uncle Li built more than a dozen new houses. Apart from his own living, the extra houses are rented out, earning an annual income of more than 1 yuan.The rest of the money is stored in the bank to generate interest, and the interest alone is enough for him to live a leisurely life without worrying about food and drink.

Therefore, the richest person in this room should be Uncle Li. Cheng Fang's words are not wrong at all.

"I'm all dead money. I spend a cent less than you. Young people rely on craftsmanship to make a living. As long as you are willing to endure hardships, how can you not earn one hundred and eighty thousand a year? This is really enviable." Uncle Li also picked up all the New Year's words, and everyone who said it was also happy, who wouldn't want to hear something nice?

When Uncle Li saw Lu Ren coming alone, he couldn't help asking, "You brat, where is your wife? Why didn't you bring her here?"

"It was originally agreed to come together, but the hospital called temporarily and asked her to take a shift, so why not come?"

"Oh, that would be such a pity. I was still thinking of asking her for help." Cheng Fang sat aside and said regretfully. She was just pregnant, and she needed to ask someone for advice on many pregnant women's problems. Tan Rui was originally the best Consultant, it's a bit of a disappointment if you can't come after you agreed.

"Hey, don't tell me I almost forgot, I haven't congratulated you yet..." Gao Liumei hugged Cheng Fang's shoulder affectionately, and whispered a few words in her ear, causing Cheng Fang's face to turn red, and she stood up to slap Gao Liumei's eyebrows , but was held down by her.

The two women got entangled together and didn't mention it. Here, Lu Ren offered cigarettes to Guo Yi and the two, and accidentally saw Guo Yi's little finger injured, so he naturally asked, "What's wrong with your hand?"

"I was pinched by the car door yesterday, and it still hurts now."

"I also pinched it once two days ago, but it's not as heavy as yours, I'm afraid the nail cover won't be able to keep it."

The nail cover on Guo Yi's ring finger was pitch black, which was caused by blood stasis. This kind of injury healed slowly, and the nail needed to be pulled out and regrown. The whole process was painful and troublesome.

"I can't help it. It's mainly because it affects driving. It hurts when I try hard, so I can only run slowly." Guo Yi said lightly, not taking it seriously.

Just as Lu Ren was about to speak, the cell phone in his pocket rang. When he opened it, it turned out to be an unfamiliar number. After thinking about it, he clicked through.

"Hey, who are you looking for?" Lu Ren asked.

"Brother, it's me."

"Xiaoxue? I changed my phone number." Since Tang Xue went to teach in Laomiao Township Middle School, Lu Ren could clearly feel some changes in Tang Xue.

For example, I stopped calling and chatting with him for nothing, sometimes only one or two calls a week, and I often asked him for something.It seems that she has adapted to the new environment, and she is a bit reluctant to leave.Actually... that's pretty good!
"Brother, I lost my phone." Tang Xue's words made Lu Ren speechless for a moment. If my memory is correct, this is already the second phone I lost in a year. This ghost girl is addicted to losing her phone.

"Why did you lose it again? Look for it carefully, maybe you forgot it somewhere?" Lu Ren reminded her, with the last glimmer of hope.

"I lost it while shopping in the town in the morning, where can I find it?" Tang Xue cut off the last hope.

"Then buy another one. Uh... don't worry, I still have an old mobile phone in my hand, you can use it first."

"Old mobile phone..." Tang Xue stretched her voice, seeming a little displeased.But after thinking about it, I seem to have spent all the money in my pocket. The average brand phone is around 5000 yuan. Even if I wait until the salary is paid next month, I am afraid that the money will not be enough.If she wants to use the deposit, that money is the 1 yuan loan that Lu Ren returned to her, which is her last possession at present.

Whether to use the old mobile phone or use the savings to buy a new one, Tang Xue hesitated for a while.

"Forget it, I'll buy you a new one! But it's okay, you can't throw it away again this time, you must correct your forgetfulness." Lu Ren knew Tang Xue's thoughts, teaching in the countryside was no better than in the city, In her spare time, she can sing to earn money.The salary of the new teachers is not high, and there is no external income, so naturally the more they spend, the less they can make ends meet.

Lu Ren has always been grateful to Tang Xue for his help at the critical moment. When he was short of money for a new car, Tang Xue lent him the money without hesitation, just for this trust, and he deserved a proper return.

"Brother, are you really buying it for me?" Tang Xue suddenly became happy, and immediately said, "I have a request, you have to promise me."

"Okay, don't you just want a branded machine? Don't worry, since I bought it, I must agree with you."

"Ah, I haven't said it yet, how do you know?" Tang Xue asked in surprise.

"I guessed it too."

Lu Ren ended the call, and Guo Yi, who had been listening quietly, asked, "Old Lu, do you want to buy a mobile phone for Tang Xue?"

"That's right! You heard it too, you don't need ordinary brand-name machines."

"I heard it. I have a friend who runs a mobile phone store. He has all kinds of brands there. If you want, you can go and have a look."

"Of course it's good. Tomorrow! I'll go find you."

Gao Liumei and Cheng Fang felt a little confused when Lu Ren bought Tang Xue a mobile phone so generously.This is not three or five hundred yuan, but several thousand yuan, which is equivalent to twice Chen Fang's salary in the hotel.The most important point is that Cheng Fang knew that Lu Ren had no money in his hands, and all the money he earned was kept in Tan Rui's hands.

Cheng Fang's worry was not unreasonable. After Lu Ren returned home, he realized that things were a bit troublesome.Of course, he was not completely impulsive, and he had some confidence in his heart.

As for men, when they are away from home, there are many places where money is needed, and it is not common for them to always ask their wives for money, so Lu Ren has accumulated a little private money, but it is not much, about two or three thousand.

In this way, there is still a difference of 1000 yuan, so you need to find your wife to ask for it.

"Buy a mobile phone for Tang Xue? Why?" Tan Rui's eyes widened, and he looked at Lu Ren carefully, feeling displeased.

"Isn't this a favor from others? Look, last summer, I lived in Shuangjing Hutong. My godmother came to see me and saw that there was no air conditioner in the room and I couldn't rest well during the day. She bought it for me without saying a word. One... four 5000 yuan, do you think this favor will have to be paid back sooner or later?" Lu Ren had already thought of an excuse, otherwise, why would he ask Tan Rui to pay out?There must be a reason for everything.

"Hmph, you saved her daughter's life, isn't it worth 5000 yuan? If you ask me, this is what should be done, and it is a favor owed to you."

"You can't say that. Well, even if it's a favor this time. I bought this new car... You always know, it's not all bought with borrowed money. At that time, there was not enough money. Besides Chef Le, Yao Qin, Tang Xue also Donate generously, and lent me all the money without hesitation...this kindness is not small." Seeing that one thing failed, Lu Ren hurriedly brought up another matter, which made Tan Rui bow his head in silence, as if he was thinking of words again .

Lu Ren struck while the iron was hot, and hurriedly said: "Besides, the mobile phone is not expensive, it only costs one or two thousand yuan."

Hearing this, Tan Rui's heart moved, and his frown slowly relaxed. Lu Ren peeked at it, and felt that there was a way to get money.
