Taxi at night

Chapter 163, the city is too small

From the bottom of his heart, Lu Ren hated this woman who was stranded outside in the middle of the night. After getting the fare, he drove away quickly without looking back, out of sight and out of mind.

It just so happened that at this time, the red light on the gas display flashed, reminding him that the remaining gas in the gas cylinder was low and that he needed to refill the gas.

At this time, at the main intersections of the city, there are four gas filling stations in the four directions of southeast and northwest. There are long queues at the door all day long. Once upon a time, queuing for refilling became a worrying thing.

Lu Ren chose to go to a gas station farther away. According to his experience, there are fewer vehicles in line at this time, so he can enter and exit quickly without wasting much time.

When Lu Ren rushed to the gas station to have a look, it was true, there were only a dozen or so taxis scattered, and the formation was no longer than 100 meters from the beginning to the end. This situation was expected, and it effectively reduced the queuing time.

This is the smallest gas filling station, with only four gas filling points. If the gas filling is running at the same time, it will reach Lu Ren in less than 10 minutes.

However, this is only a theoretical calculation, and the actual situation is often surprising.After waiting for two 10 minutes, Lu Ren hadn't filled the car with gas. He was a little anxious, so he hurried to the gas station to have a look, and was immediately discouraged... Only then did he find that there were four filling points, only two While working normally, I thought to myself: No wonder it is so slow.

I took out the gas card in my pocket, and just remembered that there seemed to be little money left in the gas card, and I still needed to get some money in, but it was getting late, and I didn’t know if this gas station would receive money at night, but I didn’t have any confidence in it .

Walking quickly to the cashier, I saw a small sign hanging on the window sill, which read: no payment at night.Lu Ren was immediately dumbfounded. This is a bad situation. If he is not angry, he will not be able to do good business. This is what worries Lu Ren the most?

Thinking of this, Lu Ren became more and more anxious, so he had to borrow cards from colleagues who lined up together. Unfortunately, firstly, he didn't have a deep friendship, and secondly, he didn't meet acquaintances and friends.

Time waited for no one, and soon came to Lu Ren's taxi. The person in charge of refilling the gas was a girl in her 20s. She was wearing sky blue work clothes and looked a little bloated, but she was a bit delicate. Lu Ren Handed the gas card to the girl, the girl inserted the card into the machine without looking at it, glanced at it quickly, and said, "There are more than 20 yuan left, I'm afraid it's not enough to fill up."

Lu Ren used a large gas tank, and it cost more than 50 yuan to fill it up. Compared with the two times, the difference is more than half, which is really embarrassing.

"I can refuel with cash, can I?" Lu Renming knew it was impossible, so he asked the refiller unwillingly.

"No, there is a rule in the station that you must use a card to refill gas at night, and you are not allowed to accept cash." The girl said in her mouth, and looked up at Lu Ren, but she didn't think about it, and a trace of surprise flashed in the girl's eyes.

However, Lu Ren didn't notice it, and continued to say: "Is there really no way? I'm not angry enough to run around in the middle of the night, what should I do?"

"Ah, may I ask, is your surname Lu?" the girl asked suddenly.

"Yes!" Lu Ren was stunned, and responded in surprise, thinking to himself: Do we know each other?Why don't you have any impression?
"Did you have a noodle car before? It was a very old... very old noodle car, like two years ago." The girl looked at Lu Ren nervously and reminded him carefully.

"That's right, there was indeed a broken car before...Girl, do you know me?" Lu Ren looked at the girl carefully this time, with narrow eyes, curved brows, and slender figure... Still can't remember where I saw her?

"Recall that one night, when it was drizzling, you drove a girl to the water plant at the bus station... and then..." The girl paused deliberately when she said this, because she was also afraid of admitting the wrong person.

"Later, someone fell into the cellar by the side of the road...Oh my god, that girl could be you, right? But...forgive my blind eyes, why don't I look the same?" This time it was Lu Ren's turn to be surprised. No, the girl seemed to have grown a lot taller and fatter than before. If the girl didn't mention the past, he would never have imagined that it was the same girl.

Hearing Lu Ren's answer clearly, the girl had no doubts, her face suddenly showed enthusiasm, and her address also changed, only to hear her say: "Brother Lu, wait a moment, I will go to the team leader and ask for a card." , fill you up."

"Really? That would be great!"

It turned out that each team leader had an inflatable card with a certain amount in his hand. Now it is midnight, and the team leader is sleeping soundly in the cashier's room. There is no special situation, such as Lu Ren's current trivial matter, the staff under him will never Will wake up the leader.

However, things changed suddenly. The girl recognized Lu Ren as the driver who rescued her. The trivial matter became something that had to be done, and the girl knocked on the door without hesitation.

Lu Ren saw all this from a distance, and vaguely heard the conversation between the team leader and the girl. It seemed that the team leader was very dissatisfied, but he still took out the card in his hand.

The girl didn't stop for a moment, she ran back at a trot all the way, filling Lu Ren with quick hands and feet.

"I remember that your name seems to be Xiaowen... right?" Lu Ren's memory gradually recovered, and the past two years ago was presented to him bit by bit, so clearly, as if it happened yesterday.

"That's right! I'm glad you still remember my name. Judging by your appearance just now, you don't seem to have any memory at all." Miss Xiaowen said to Lu Ren with a sweet smile while continuing to work.

"Then how can I forget? I have been driving the car for many years, and I only rescued you from the cellar well. I can't forget it even if I want to." Lu Ren's words are true. The probability of such a thing happening is no higher than winning the jackpot. , once experienced personally, I'm afraid it will be unforgettable for a lifetime.It's just that she never expected that the figure and appearance of the seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl had changed a lot. If Xiao Wen kept silent, even ten Lu Ren would never recognize her.

"Didn't you say go out to work?" Lu Ren asked after thinking of this.

"Yeah! I just came back last month, and my parents asked me to work here, saying it was closer to home."

"So that's the case, let me just say, why haven't I seen you before, so I just came back."

The two chatted for a while, Xiaowen still had to continue working, and Lu Ren also had his own work to do, anyway, there was a chance to meet again in the future, so Lu Ren said goodbye and left.

This city is neither big nor small, and they will always meet each other by fate, which seems to be true.

It's just that Lu Ren didn't expect that two people will meet again after two years, which is of course called a joy.But life is always in constant change. Sometimes unexpected encounters are not necessarily a good thing. Maybe after the surprise, some troubles will arise, bringing a series of unexpected changes... Of course, this is just the aftermath. Let's not mention it for now.
