Taxi at night

Chapter 88, Daxue Wuhen

Xiao Du's tire repair shop sells two types of anti-skid chains, made of metal and wear-resistant plastic. Lu Ren chose the more expensive metal anti-skid chains.

"Brother Lu, is business going well recently?" Xiao Du hurriedly finished his meal and came over to help.

"That's the thing, neither salty nor bland." In front of Xiao Du, Lu Ren didn't show off his record, but replied lightly.

"I regret it now. I shouldn't have sold the car too early. If I had listened to you at the time, I would have sold it now!" If there is really regret medicine in this world, Xiao Du would not mind paying a high price for a pair. After taking it, it's just a pity that it didn't.

"You...just be content! Back then you bought that car for just over 3 yuan, and sold it for over 16 yuan in less than a year, with a net profit of 13 yuan...you're still not satisfied. How do you say that? , I’m talking about people like you.” Lu Ren didn’t like to hear this kind of regretful words the most. He had already made money, but he kept complaining.
People are more popular than people, there are always people who are farther than you see and earn more.

"Of course you are satisfied. The broken car you bought for more than 1 yuan was squeezed into a gold ingot by you. To be honest, I really admire it." Xiao Du has a kind of blind worship for Lu Ren, no matter in person or in appearance. The angle of the problem is obviously much higher than his own.Really convinced.

"I know how capable I am. It's just that stupid people have stupid luck, and it's just a coincidence." Lu Ren sometimes suffers from complacency, thinking that he seems to be really superior to others, but fortunately, this kind of thought often disappears in a flash. However, it has not become the norm.

Every night in the dead of night, after calmly thinking about it, I finally kept a clear head and realized that I was just an ordinary person. By chance, I did the right thing, and only then did I achieve my current achievements.

What can be pinched and calculated, farsighted... It's pure nonsense.One thing succeeds, and afterward you can "find" 100 reasons to explain it, and if you really believe it, you're really hopelessly stupid.

All four snow chains were installed, and Lu Ren was ready to go. Xiao Du kindly asked him to stay: "Should we have lunch here at noon? We haven't contacted each other for a long time, let's get together while it's snowing."

"Let's find a chance! I have something urgent to do." Lu Renna was willing to eat here, and Tang Xue was still waiting for him to deliver the quilt, so there must be no delay.Besides, today's business is absolutely once in a lifetime. He is not afraid of others who dare not drive in such an extreme environment. If it is done well, the income of two or three days a day can be wasted in vain.

Under such special circumstances, the few taxis that insist on operating are particularly precious. Of course, the charging standards of the drivers have also risen, and the supply is still in short supply.

Tang Xue was only a few hundred meters away from the dormitory to the school gate, and she couldn't remember how many times she fell. Thanks to the thick clothes she was wearing, she was fine.The heavy snow still has no intention of stopping, mixed with the cold northwest wind, whizzing down, only slightly smaller than last night.

The old snow has not yet melted, and the fresh snow is piled up. The road that people often walk on is smooth and shining, which makes the students daunted.

As soon as Lu Ren drove his car to the school gate, a group of students waiting to go out swarmed up, fearing they would miss it.

"Brother, the road is so slippery, why did you drive here?" Tang Xue asked suspiciously while patting the snow on her body.

"Just drive slowly. Oh, the road inside is very slippery... Do you want me to drive the car in?"

"The road back is full of gentle slopes, and there are so many students... Forget it, I'll go by myself." After weighing the pros and cons, Tang Xue shook her head and refused.

If it was just a matter of two pedals on weekdays, it would not work now, leaving would be a problem, and it would be even more difficult to drive the car up.

Lu Ren didn't insist either, watching Tang Xue stumbling forward on the snowy road.

The business on the street is in a mess, just like picking up money.Lu Ren didn't even bother to eat lunch. He ran until it was dark and the street lights came on before he felt hungry.

He stopped the car to count today's results. In just six or seven hours, his income was more than twice the usual amount, which made him elated and refreshed.

It was snowing, and the business of the restaurant prospered in vain, every house was full, and there were no empty seats.

As the saying goes, some people are happy and some are sad. Lu Ren hadn't finished his bowl of rice when he received a call from Zhao Xiaoxiao.

"Master Lu, have you gone home?" This was Zhao Xiaoxiao's second call. At the beginning, Lu Ren was busy pulling people, so naturally he didn't have time to answer her.

"Haven't you got in the car yet?" Lu Ren was also taken aback, the interval was almost an hour... I guess this woman was going to freeze up on the street. In such a cold day, snow as big as goose feathers is rare for many years. There are so many KTVs It's closed!She still wanted to go to work to earn money, it was really hard work.

"The bus stopped a long time ago, and the taxi can't be stopped at all. Master Lu, I can only beg you." Zhao Xiaoxiao wrapped herself up like a rice dumpling, with only a pair of eyes exposed, because she was standing by the roadside It's been too long, and the eyelashes are covered with hoarfrost, which is ridiculous.A pair of beautiful high-soled cotton boots did not keep warm at all, as if she was standing barefoot on ice and snow, making her jump around in place, like a bulky penguin.

"Okay, I'll be there in 10 minutes." The distance between the two was not far away, Lu Ren hurried over quickly, and caught up with Zhao Xiaoxiao who was about to freeze.

It was getting late, and under the white lights, the second heavy snowfall came one after another. It seemed that a wall of snow had formed in front of the car, and it was getting bigger and bigger. Lu Ren couldn't help but feel a little flustered in his eyes.

"Look at the road, there is nothing but snow. Most of the other nightclubs are closed, why are you running there? Will there be business?" Lu Ren was really puzzled, so he inevitably asked.

"I can't help it! The boss told me to go, I can't do it if I don't go." Zhao Xiaoxiao heard this, showing a look of helplessness.She knew in her heart, just like what Lu Ren said, how many people would go to nightclubs to have fun in this ice and snow world, when walking was inconvenient and driving was a problem?Occasionally, a few passed by, and there was not much money to be made, it was simply tossing people back and forth.

But she didn't dare not to go, she was the manager inside, and others could make excuses not to go, but she couldn't.

As time went by, the two became more and more familiar with each other.Lu Ren learned that Zhao Xiaoxiao had an idle husband and a three-year-old daughter at home.The burden of the whole family's life is on Zhao Xiaoxiao alone. According to the information occasionally disclosed, Zhao Xiaoxiao's monthly income is more than [-] yuan. From this point of view, it is normal for her husband to take care of the children at home.

"What are you going to do tomorrow? The snow is so heavy, and I am going to rest for two days." The bus will definitely not be able to go on the road tomorrow, and many factories and enterprises are temporarily closed today.As a result, people huddled up at home and rarely went out. Naturally, business was not as prosperous as it is today, and Lu Ren also wanted to rest.

"If that's the case, I have to walk with my legs!" Zhao Xiaoxiao said with a sigh, with water droplets on his eyelashes.
