Taxi at night

Chapter 90, Hot Pot Lamb

Yao Qin was unharmed after being crushed by the collapsed shed. This is an extremely lucky example. There are many unlucky people who were not so lucky and were hospitalized because of injuries caused by the sudden snowstorm.

Tan Rui felt the deepest about this. As a nurse in the hospital, the number of patients with falls in hospital has increased sharply in the past few days, and the beds in the orthopedics area were suddenly full.

The time between Tan Rui and Lu Ren has been greatly reduced during this period. There are several reasons for this, including the external reason that Lu Ren is busy with work to earn money and pay off debts, and the internal reason that Tan Rui's grandparents object to their relationship. To reduce conflicts, the tacit agreement between the two people reduces the chance of meeting, just like the cold winter in front of us, entering a hibernation period.

It was also like this, because of the snow, Lu Ren, who was going to take a day off today, had nowhere to go. He could only lie in bed and sleep until after ten o'clock in the morning before getting up.

In the dimness, I heard the shouts and cheers of children outside the yard, mixed with the noise of neighbors shoveling snow.Lu Ren walked out of the room and came to the yard. The heavy snow had basically stopped, only some messy broken snowflakes were flying in the wind.

First of all, the water in the kitchen pipe should be thawed. There was no water in the house, so Lu Ren went straight to Uncle Li's house with a bucket.

Not far ahead, I saw the children from the next door family having a snowball fight with a group of children.

"Uncle Li, the water pipe is frozen, I need you to borrow some water."

"Use it, it's in the kitchen." In the middle of the thick snow in the yard, Uncle Li has already cleared a half-meter-wide path.

In Uncle Li's kitchen, the water pipes are intact and can be used normally because of the fire to keep warm.

After Lu Ren returned with two large buckets of water, he was ready to boil the water and scald the pipes.At this time, I heard the footsteps of someone entering the courtyard, and then all the way behind him.

Lu Ren quickly turned his head to look, but it was the neighbor next door, that light and pretty young woman.

"Oh, hello." Lu Ren was slightly surprised.Although the two families are neighbors next door, they are different from Yao Qin who walked so close before. They basically have no contact with each other on weekdays. Today, they came here rashly, so I don't know why.

"Hello...Master Lu, you are busy....Uh, the water pipe is frozen, is it hot?" The young woman's eyes flashed, and she asked concerned.

"I just scalded it once, and I guess I need to scald it twice more." Lu Ren also had a headache, and it was not easy to solve the water problem all at once.

"It doesn't matter if it's really hot. The water pipes in my house are not frozen. If you use water...just ask." The young woman stood outside the kitchen door and said with a happy face.Lu Ren became suspicious. He was so enthusiastic, there must be something wrong.

"Thank you then. You... are you here...?" Lu Ren asked.

"Master Lu, isn't it snowing? I stewed some mutton from my hometown at noon. I would like to invite you to come over and have a light meal."

Lu Ren suddenly realized that it turned out that he was inviting his neighbors to get together. Although it was a little unexpected, it was not surprising that people were very polite, and it was not easy to refuse this invitation casually.

"It's so polite, well, I'll go there after I boil the water pipe."

"Okay, then it's settled, I'll call you later." The young woman suddenly became happy.

After sending off the young woman next door, Lu Ren kept thinking in his mind that it would be better to bring a gift when he first visits, but what should he give?

The water supply was finally restored. Lu Ren found some rags and wrapped the exposed water pipe tightly, and then lit the fire in the kitchen to prevent freezing. After these measures were completed, it was almost noon .

A young woman's cry came from the courtyard, Lu Ren quickly agreed, went back to the room and found a bottle of pure grain white wine, put on his coat, turned and went to the next door.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Uncle Li sitting on the ground with a godlike spirit, but he came one step ahead.

"Boss Qi, the guests are all here, where's the wine?" Uncle Li usually likes to drink a few sips, but today it's rare to have hot pot stewed mutton.

"Brother Qi, I brought a bottle of wine. I don't know if it suits your taste." Lu Ren took out the bottle of wine from his coat pocket and placed it lightly in the middle of the table.

"Haha, good...Xiao Lu, you have the heart, so you didn't come here empty-handed." Uncle Li clapped his hands in praise.Grabbing the wine, I took a look at it, but it was puree wine produced by the local winery in G County. I was overjoyed, knowing that it was pure grain wine.

"Uncle Li, which bottle do you want to drink first?" Brother Qi also took out a bottle of wine, but it was ordinary wine, which was obviously inferior to the puree wine.

Uncle Li thought about it, but raised his head to ask Lu Ren's opinion, and said, "Both bottles are good, Xiao Lu, what do you think?"

"Drink the puree bar first. Although the price of this kind of wine is not high, it is not easy to find outside... It turns out that it is pure grain wine digested inside the winery. Generally, it is not easy for internal employees to buy. This is the one I live in G county. My godmother brought it to me a few months ago... There are two bottles in total, and this is the last bottle." Lu Ren explained the origin of the wine in one breath, and everyone's eyes lit up, and they naturally applauded.

Wine is something that warms the stomach, and mutton is a food that keeps the cold away. After a few rounds of wine, the four of them are sweating profusely, and the pores on their bodies are relaxed. This is really one of the great joys in life.

After drinking and eating, Lu Ren returned home and sat on the sofa drowsy...

Suddenly the phone rang, waking him up from his sleep. When he opened it, it turned out to be Guo Yi's call.

"Hey, Lao Guo, didn't you go out to work today?"

"Oh, don't mention it. If I knew it, I wouldn't come out...Old Lu, my car slipped into a ditch, do you have time? Come and help my brother." Guo Yi's dejected lament came from the phone, Lu Ren Only then did he wake up from half asleep and half awake.When did this guy work so hard?Lu Ren was puzzled.

In his impression, Guo Yi is a person who knows how to enjoy himself, and he shouldn't come out to work in such extreme weather.Even I, who owed a lot of debt, didn't I just stay at home honestly today?
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. This matter is quite strange.

"I didn't leave the car today, you call an ambulance, that's the only way to be safe!" Lu Ren didn't really want to go.

Guo Yi usually has quite a few friends, but when it comes to critical moments, he always thinks of himself first, what about those friends who are called brothers? ...This made Lu Ren feel a little uneasy.

Besides, when I asked him to borrow money some time ago, I couldn't even borrow a big one.In his eyes, Ganqing is like a rag, he thinks of himself when he uses it, and throws it away when he is done using it.

"Old Lu, of course I called for rescue. It will be dark soon, and the rescue vehicle will not arrive. Brother, now I can only count on you. Come and help me pull...I fell into a shallow pit. As long as there is a car to pull it up, you can go up, and you won't be delayed much. Don't worry, I won't let you go for nothing, and the gas money and dinner will be mine." The shrewd Guo Yi certainly heard Lu Ren's words Luo Li wordyly said a lot of pleading words, which made Lu Ren feel embarrassed all of a sudden.
