Taxi at night

Chapter 4, sweet wish
The night was dark, the air contained a trace of moisture, and the temperature dropped suddenly.

Yao Qin came out of the Central Hospital and took the No. 2 bus and got off at the junction of the city and county. The straight-line distance is about 6 kilometers.

Lu Ren and Yao Qin chose to rent a house here because there are many rental houses built by local farmers.

The rent is lower than that in the city, the transportation is convenient, and the consumption level in the vicinity is significantly lower. It is naturally very popular with migrant workers.

After shaking on the bus for nearly 30 minutes, the hour hand was almost pointing to nine o'clock before Yao Qin returned to her residence.

Tiantian finished her homework at this time and stayed in the living room of the landlord, Uncle Li, watching animation while waiting for her mother to come home.

Uncle Li sat aside with a smile and read the newspaper, answering some weird questions from the little girl from time to time... arguing or arguing, a picture of a happy father and daughter.

Hearing movement outside, the two looked back, and Yao Qinji stepped into the room.

"Will that brat come back tomorrow?" Uncle Li asked anxiously.

"I'm fine, I can do it anytime." Yao Qin replied with a smile, packing her schoolbag and preparing to take her daughter home.

"So fast, doesn't it mean that I almost drowned... I was still thinking, it will take a week anyway. Tiantian, tomorrow morning, grandpa will send you to the tutoring class, please?"

Uncle Li is in his early sixties this year and is in good health. He has a good or bad relationship with Lu Ren, a typical tenancy relationship.

However, in the face of Yao Qin's mother and daughter, the two men showed goodwill and were willing to provide some free help within their ability, which was surprisingly consistent.

Uncle Li's sons and daughters are all working hard outside, but his wife went to the south to take care of his grandson at the beginning of the year, and now he is the only one left at home, alone, really boring.

Lu Ren didn't return from the hospital, and there was a vacancy in sending Tiantian to school, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to send the child to school.

"Uncle Li, the County Cultural Palace... Are you familiar with it?" Yao Qin hesitated, looked at her daughter, and asked for her opinion with her eyes.

"Familiar...why not familiar, isn't it the same place...beside the old movie theater. In the past, I often went there to sell vegetables..." Uncle Li chattered.

"Mom, where is Uncle Lu... Ask him to see me off." Tian Tian interrupted Uncle Li's rambling, a little unhappy.

"That brat won't come back tomorrow, grandpa will... buy you chocolates for him, okay?"

"Do you know what brand I like to eat?" Tiantian's eyes lit up, and her attitude immediately changed 180 degrees.

If he went to the street to buy food for her, then it's not uncommon for Uncle Li to send her to class.

"Of course grandpa knows, so I asked you if you agree?"

"Well, okay, but I have to choose myself." He said it with confidence, but not annoying.

"What a villain... It seems that grandpa is going to bleed heavily tomorrow. Xiaoyao... what time will class be in tomorrow morning?" After accepting the unequal agreement with joy, Uncle Li quickly entered a new role and began to think about going out tomorrow morning.

"Nine o'clock, two hours of dance class."

"Oh, I see. Tomorrow, you can do your own work and leave the child to me."

Uncle Li immediately made a decision, and took over the escort job left by Lu Ren in a big way. With joy in his brows, he sent the mother and daughter away with a smile.

After leaving the gate of Uncle Li's courtyard, the wall on the left is Yao Qin's house, and then Lu Ren's rented house, which belonged to a large courtyard.

For the convenience of renting out, it is divided into three small houses with one kitchen and one kitchen.

In the dead of night, the mother and daughter were lying on the bed, neither sleepy.

Tiantian was silent for a while, then suddenly raised her face and asked her mother, "Mom, don't let Uncle Lu be my father, okay?"

"Ah, why? Why did you ask this question?" Yao Qin was stunned when she heard this, curious in her heart, and couldn't help stroking the child's soft hair and asking.

"Being an uncle is good, being a father will beat Tiantian..." Tiantian said with a serious face, inadvertently evoking her unbearable memories of the past, Yao Qin hugged her daughter tightly, and the group burst into tears.

One of the reasons Yao Qin divorced her husband was that she gave birth to a daughter. Her husband’s family disliked her and her husband’s resentment.

She quietly wiped away her tears, and said in a resolute tone: "Uncle is much better than Dad, he won't beat you..."

"But, if there is a younger brother in the future, will he still like Tiantian?"

"Well, of course it will. You and your younger brother are both mother's children, and mother will protect you...No one can bully you!"

Yao Qin was immediately reminded by Tiantian, and took the opportunity to ask Lu Ren if there was a tendency to discriminate against girls. She had suffered a lot before and had to settle this before remarrying.

The child is easy to be satisfied. With the guarantee of her mother, Tiantian seems to have found comfort in her soul, and fell asleep quickly.

Lu Ren decided to leave the hospital the next morning after finishing the water transfusion.

He didn't go back by car, but walked along the moat to try to see how his strength recovered.

Passing by the place where he rescued people who fell into the water the night before, Lu Ren found a clean place to sit down, staring at the calm water surface, recalling the desperate struggle in the water, still breaking out in a cold sweat.

It is three o'clock in the afternoon, and the weather is cool in the morning and evening, but it is still very hot when the sun shines at noon.

Lu Ren wiped his forehead and eyebrows with his hands, and sweat broke out, and his heart felt cold. Heroes are also mortals, and their legs were weak and timid afterward.

There was a movement in his pocket, and the bell rang quickly, pulling Lu Ren back from the bear shape and returning to normal.

"Hey, what advice does Chef Le have?" The caller was from a classmate from the same village. His name is Le Ruyi. He works as a chef in a hotel in the city and earns 3000 yuan a month, which is very good.

"Do you have any advice, let me ask you... you are the guy who saved people on TV, right?" Chef Le passed by the TV occasionally during his lunch break, and found that the hero in the ward was very much like his classmate Lu Ren, so he wanted to take a closer look , the screen transition is gone.

Now that the rush for guests to eat has passed, he has some leisure time, and thinking about this matter again, he feels like a gnat in his throat, so he asks.

"It's my lord, it's true."

"Then you're in the hospital, which one... I'll go to see you at night." Chef Le raised his voice. If it wasn't for the weekend and it's not easy to ask for leave, he might have come here long ago.

"I've just been discharged from the hospital, and I'll find me at home at night... Remember, buy more supplements, I'm weak."

"It sounds like you are full of anger, you are not weak. However, for the sake of saving your life, it's rare for you to be brave...I'll buy you some."

"Bring some good food here...a drink in the evening."

"Okay, it's a piece of cake." Chef Le readily agreed.

The two had a small friendship, and they were fishing for food in the same city. Their relationship became closer and closer, and they were even better than brothers.

Lu Ren put away his phone, and just remembered Yao Qin's mother and daughter. Today is Sunday, and Tian Tian has to go to cram school. It's not too late to rush back to pick her up.

Lu Ren hurried back home, and at the intersection, he ran into Uncle Li who was going out by bicycle.

"Why did you leave the hospital?" Uncle Li was still a little surprised, even though he had asked Yao Qin before to know about Lu Ren's situation.

"Okay. Uncle Li... what are you doing?"

"Me, pick up Tiantian! It's almost five o'clock, I have to wait in advance. Ah...Xiao Lu, stop chatting with you, I'm leaving."

Uncle Li didn't ask Lu Ren what he meant at all, he was afraid of rushing to pick him up with him, so he hurried away on his bicycle.

"This old man seems to be quite willing to accept Tiantian." Lu Ren shook his head, a little puzzled.
