Taxi at night

Chapter 96, Young Years

Two days later, Tan Rui asked Ding Jiali about the house, and the answer he got was that at least [-] yuan should be paid, and the rest can be returned slowly.This long-awaited good news made her sink into excitement.

Since he started working at the age of 20, apart from not having saved any money in the first year, Tan Rui saved a total of 4 to [-] yuan in the next two to three years. It is not a lot, but if the planning is right, it is not difficult to win this house.

There was a reason for Tan Rui's excitement. Lu Ren bought a house, and he was considered a family with a car and a house, so he could come to propose marriage openly.Although the house is second-hand, it is an old house with a small area, and it is not a regular high-quality house.Only in this way can Tan Rui have the courage to face the critical eyes of his parents and take the first step of marriage bravely and firmly.

Tan Rui happily told Lu Ren the news, but found that the other party's reaction was flat, which aroused the sympathy he imagined. To be precise, he looked a little embarrassed.

"Chef Le didn't pay back the money?" Because in the past two days, things have changed again.

Chef Le called and told him that he was going to get married on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. The woman was from a village near her hometown and she was 26 years old.The two have been dating for three or four years, and the woman's family really can't wait. It's a little strange that such a big girl is not yet married in the countryside.

Chef Le dragged on until this year, and could no longer withstand the pressure from all sides, so he had to decide to get married before the end of the year.

As we have said before, Chef Le’s money was trapped due to the frustration of investing in the stock market, and the funds available in his hands were limited. How could such a major event as marriage lack money?Lu Ren is faced with the dilemma of paying back the money.

"Didn't it be agreed, will you pay it back after the Chinese New Year?" Tan Rui didn't understand the details, and was a little dissatisfied with Lu Ren's current attitude.

"Chef Le got married at the end of the year, and he had to pay back the 1 yuan. He called and informed me clearly, but in this way, the money to buy the house was not enough."

"It's too coincidental, it can't be postponed until after May [-]st next year..." Tan Rui said wishfully, knowing in his heart that this is somewhat unlikely.

"The woman's family issued an ultimatum, either get married or break up, there is no choice."

Tan Rui was silent, his mind was thinking rapidly, after a while, he sighed faintly, and said while thinking: "There is not enough time, and this house is bound to be won, forget it...I will figure it out myself! "

Hearing Tan Rui's decision, Lu Ren immediately relaxed. He was not afraid of getting the money back in the future, but he was afraid that if he took out the cash now, even if he didn't eat or drink, he wouldn't be able to get 6 yuan in cash.

Of course, Tan Rui's method is to borrow money. Relatively speaking, borrowing 2 yuan is not a problem for her at all, and it can be easily done with a phone call.However, this matter needs to be kept strictly confidential, and it is still a little difficult for the family members to know nothing about it.

"Would it be too cheap for Lu Ren, making it seem like I'm in a hurry to get married." After Tan Rui put down his phone, such a thought came to his mind.

Lu Ren's heart was not at peace, he found himself in a strange circle.Ever since he bought that broken taxi during the epidemic, he has been in a cycle of borrowing money and repaying money. The tension has always existed, and each one seemed heavier than the other, so that he didn't even have a chance to breathe a sigh of relief. Always in debt.

After entering the Layue Gate, migrant workers poured in like a tide, and the bus station and train station were crowded with people everywhere, bustling and bustling, a busy scene.

From now until the end of the first month, these two months are the golden period of the taxi business. People take taxis almost 24 hours a day. As long as you are willing to do it, you will not worry about making money.

Before the new year, all schools had holidays one after another.On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, Tang Xue went to Lu Ren's house to celebrate the new year, and returned to her hometown on the morning of the 24th.

"Brother, why don't you do anything for the New Year? You don't plan to celebrate the New Year?" As soon as Tang Xue entered the yard, she didn't find any signs of the New Year. The surrounding area was empty, with no chicken, no fish, and no bacon, just like usual generally.

"Xiaoxue, brother is poor this year! I just borrowed money to buy a house, and I owe a lot of debts outside. For the Chinese New Year, save as much as you can, and don't worry about it." Lu Ren vomited bitterness to Tang Xue, saying After a while, he remembered that the younger sister in front of him was also one of his creditors.

"You bought a house? Why didn't I know? When did you buy it? Where is it?" This was good news. Tang Xue jumped up and dragged Lu Ren to see the house.

"Don't worry, the house has just been painted and it hasn't dried out yet. I plan to move in in two days. Actually, it's nothing to look at. It's just a second-hand house. I just bought it for two days, and I haven't had time to tell you yet."

"Brother, a second-hand house is also a house! With your own house, you can count as a home in the city." Tang Xue regretted not being able to see it with her own eyes, but she still seemed very excited.

Then Tang Xue went to the street to buy vegetables, bought a lot of New Year's food and came back, and piled up the empty refrigerator.

After finishing all these things, Tang Xue said with a smile: "This is just like Chinese New Year. Otherwise, what would you eat for Chinese New Year?" After this trip, at least one or two thousand yuan was spent. Words express it.

"Actually, I rarely cook at home, Xiaoxue, you buy so many things, I'm afraid you won't be able to finish them after the first month."

"Then eat slowly, if you really can't eat, I'll come two more times and help you eat together." The girl's thinking is different from Lu Ren's.

"Aren't you afraid of getting fat?" Lu Ren laughed.

"I'm not afraid, but I'm afraid there won't be any delicious food." Tang Xue replied indifferently, while tidying up the house and preparing lunch. At first glance, she looked like a capable little wife.

Wang Shi heard the movement next door, and ran over quickly. He was also a person who liked to inquire.

"Hey, isn't this Tang Xue? It's a holiday, and I'm here to help your brother clean up." After getting along for a while, the relationship between Mrs. Wang and Lu Ren's family has gradually become harmonious, and they often drop by when they have something to do.

She was full of endless fantasies about Miss Tang Xue coming to look for Lu Ren if she had nothing to do.So as soon as I heard Tang Xue's voice next door, I immediately ran over, not for anything else, just to satisfy my curiosity.

"Yes, Miss Wang. Look... a big man lives like a kennel. I haven't been here for a long time, and it's in such a mess." Tang Xue saw Wang entering the door, and her mouth was babbling. It sounded like it was complaining about Lu Ren's slovenliness, but it fell into Wang's ears, but it was a different scene.

Everyone knew that Lu Ren had a girlfriend. The job Tang Xue was doing now seemed a bit overwhelming. Shouldn't this be what Tan Rui should do?
Lu Ren stood aside, not knowing what to do, with an embarrassed expression on his face. He knew what Tang Xue meant, and he blamed Tan Rui for being lazy.

In terms of housework, Tang Xue really has an advantage over Tan Rui, and Lu Ren has to admit this.
