Taxi at night

Chapter 5, Tasteless

The iron gate of Yao Qin's house was closed tightly. He stood quietly outside the gate and listened for a while, but there was no movement inside, probably a stall.

Lu Ren took out the key and opened the door of his courtyard, the air suddenly flowed, and a sense of freshness emerged spontaneously.

It's just that I didn't go home for two nights, and everything in the courtyard seemed to be covered with a thin layer of mist. There was a sense of familiarity in the haze, and it felt like a reunion after a long time...

Living alone can't be too sloppy, Lu Ren re-examined his kennel and decided to clean it.

Open the windows to ventilate the air, sweep the floor and take out the garbage, and go to the kitchen to wash and cool the clothes that haven't been washed in the past two days... After all the work, the sky is getting dark.

At this moment, the porridge in the rice cooker has just been cooked, and then the cold buns are steamed, and then the eggs are scrambled to serve...

While working, I heard the sound of wheels rolling against the ground outside the kitchen window, and soon heard a sweet and pleasant child's voice, screaming in surprise: "The light is on...Mom, uncle is at home!"

"Ah... really, Tiantian... run slowly, don't fall." This voice was most familiar, and it made Lu Ren feel mixed, and before he could think about it carefully, Xiao Tiantian had already been swept into the kitchen like a small whirlwind, and immediately One leg was held firmly.

"Uncle, look... what is this?" Tian Tian took out two pieces of beautifully packaged chocolates from her pocket as if offering a treasure, with a satisfied expression on her face.

"Yo, chocolate...for uncle?"

"No, Grandpa Li bought it for me..." He raised his arms back, clenched his little hands tightly, and looked at Lu Ren warily, for fear of being snatched away by someone.

"Stingy... I don't want to eat again, so I take my hand away, I want to serve food."

Lu Ren broke away from the sweet hug amusedly, and turned off the stove.

"Go back and ask your mother if you have any food. Uncle cooked porridge and there is extra."

"Well, I want to eat fried sausage, don't you forget, uncle?" Before Tian Tian left, she reminded Lu Ren repeatedly, then turned around and called her mother.

Lu Ren only lived for one day and then suddenly returned home, which disappointed Uncle Li. At the same time, he fell out of favor and became a passer-by.

Not long after, Yao Qin held the dish in her hand, followed by the oil bottle, and the mother and daughter walked into the kitchen one after the other.

"There are still some leftovers here, I'll warm them up first, and eat them together later." Yao Qin said while washing the pot and starting the fire, and started to dry it neatly.

Lu Renshan stood by and wanted to strike up a conversation, but before he could speak, Tiantian forcefully dragged him out of the kitchen, yelling to watch cartoons.

Yao Qin looked at Lu Ren's helpless expression, smiled knowingly, a warm current poured into her heart, and inevitably gave birth to some life insights.

At this moment and in this situation, the two families are not as good as one family, and in the eyes of outsiders, it couldn't be more suitable.

In Lu Ren's living room and bedroom, the two families had dinner as usual.

Yao Qin put a piece of stewed beef into Lu Ren's bowl, and casually asked, "During the TV interview, I heard you said that you wanted to buy a taxi. Is it true?"

"I'm saving money...but it's too short, I don't know when I'll save enough."

"It's good to have a goal, and if you have determination, the work will be half done... What I'm most afraid of is muddling along and giving up halfway." Yao Qin encouraged from the side.

"That's the reason, it's too difficult to realize." Lu Ren thought about when he would get the bonus, and called again in a few days to ask and remind him.

"How much is a car worth?" Yao Qin glanced at Lu Ren, saw that he was a little dull, and continued to ask him calmly.

"It depends on whether it's a new car or an old car. Now is the time to change cars. The price fluctuates greatly from a van to a car. It's hard to say." Lu Ren felt that Yao Qin was a little strange tonight. He was interested in taxis, so he By the way, let's talk briefly, and we've dealt with it.

"You always have a score in your heart, what kind of one do you want to buy?"

"The cheapest is a taxi that is about to expire, and it costs 6 yuan, and it won't last long, at most three to five months. ... It will cost another 8 to 5 to replace a new car when it expires. Without [-] yuan, nothing can be done.”

"How much money do you have?" Yao Qin raised her eyebrows and asked him.

"Twenty thousand..."

"It's rarely less than [-]... It's really difficult." Yao Qin pondered for a while, feeling a little restless.It would be great if Lu Ren had a taxi that she could rely on for a living, even if it was a second-hand old car, she would make up her mind...

"Yes, at least two years' worth of money is needed... I'm afraid the price of the car will increase again." Lu Ren sighed. He didn't have a family to support him, and he didn't have many friends. He just saved bit by bit by himself, knowing that now was an opportunity. , but have no money to buy a car, very helpless.

The two of them fell silent, and both were a little preoccupied.

After dinner soon, Tiantian had to go home to study for a while, and the mother and daughter went back.

Lu Ren rested tonight, and made an appointment to wait for Chef Le to come over, so he made a cup of tea and watched TV while waiting.

It was almost ten o'clock, Chef Le rushed over on a new motorcycle.

"Oh, the shotgun has been changed, when did you buy it?" Lu Ren circled the car lovingly, envious.

"6800, how's it going?" Chef Le looked pale, and rode the bike into the courtyard.

"Big money! Where's your broken motorcycle? Why don't you give it to me!"

"It's sold. It's all wrong, and it's not disturbing enough."

When the two returned to the living room, Chef Le took a sharp sniff with his nose, and said in a fuss, "Why does it smell like a woman's rouge? You are a treasure in the golden house! Where are you? Won't you hide under the bed?"

"The person next door came here just now, please keep your voice down so as not to disturb others' rest." Lu Ren stopped him quickly, and poured a cup of hot tea for Fa Xiao.

"You haven't taken her down yet?" Chef Le lowered his tone and joked.

"Do you think we are suitable?" Lu Ren asked back, not knowing whether or not.

"It depends on what you want." Chef Le took out a package from his pocket and opened it on the coffee table.

"Nowadays there are so many rich people. I almost died of exhaustion after standing for a whole day. Come and see, I will take care of the things I brought today for you to enjoy."

Chef Le works as a chef in a hotel, and there is never a shortage of food, and all of them are delicious.

"It's a good thing, but it's a pity that the wine here isn't good. It's a pity." While looking for a plate, Lu Ren went to the cabinet, ready to take out a bottle of liquor.

"Don't take it, I'll bring it with me." Chef Le took out another half bottle of white wine from his pocket like magic.

"Wuliangye... Good guy, you can also drink this wine."

"The boss gave it to me. The business has been good these two days. As soon as the boss is happy, he gave it to me. How can there be such a good thing?"

Chef Le's skills are good, and he managed to get to the position of a chef. The hotel owner is afraid that he will change jobs at will, so he turns a blind eye to him, and usually treats him kindly.

Facing the good wine and good food, the two of them drank slowly and chewed, feeling very happy.

"I know you don't like the woman next door. After all, she's a second-married woman with a child." Chef Le started talking more after drinking a few glasses of wine.

"But you are not young, and your family background is still there, so you have to hurry up about getting married."

"It would be great if I had a car. In this way, age will not be a problem." Lu Ren still insisted on his own thoughts, and wanted to wait until later.

"Oh, I almost forgot, I asked, someone wants to sell taxis, 35000... Do you want it?"
