Chapter 169 Help Me Pick Someone Up

He Yuan found a corner outside the house.

He kept smoking until he finished his cigarette before re-entering the house.

After paying the bill, He Yuan returned to the room where he was eating. The senior sister looked up at him and asked casually, "Why have you been here for so long?"

"It's nothing, it's too stuffy in the room, so I went outside to take a breath." He Yuan said to the senior sister, "Have you rested? We'll leave after rest."

The senior sister put away her mobile phone, picked up her bag, and stood up from the chair.

After the two went out, they walked across the street to find the car that He Yuan had parked before.

After sending the senior sister home, before getting out of the car, He Yuan poked his head out of the car window and asked, "When can you give me a reply."

"As soon as possible." Senior sister said, she entered the community without looking back.

Looking at the back of the senior sister leaving, He Yuan tapped his fingers on the steering wheel.

After a while, he sighed, restarted the car, and went home.

He Yuan parked his car in the yard and looked up to the second floor. The light in Tang Duoduo's room was still on.

During the meal before, Tang Duoduo replied to the message saying that she would not come, and He Yuan didn't force her, and asked her not to cook, and he would bring her dinner back later.

"Duo Duo, come down to eat." He Yuan called to the second floor.

With that said, he got out of the car with the takeaway box in hand, and closed the door behind him.

Bringing the box into the restaurant, He Yuan casually put it on the table, and then went to visit the little guy.

The little guy was sleeping in the cat's nest, and after hearing He Yuan's movement, it stretched out its paws, revealing its pink fleshy balls, and yawned loudly.

He Yuan reached out and touched its head, and the little guy narrowed his eyes comfortably.

He Yuan smiled when he heard the "huhu" sound in its stomach: "I wanted to find you a playmate, but now it seems that I can't do it for the time being."

In his circle of friends, he sent a message about buying a golden retriever puppy.

Liked it below, many people left messages, and a few came to the door and asked He Yuan about the situation.

Unfortunately, if it wasn't too far away, or if the dog was too big to buy, He Yuan couldn't find a suitable seller for several days.

Although the hometown is more excellent, the number of cats and dogs is not as good as that of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. In addition to the small population density, it is also because most of the people who live here are accompanied by family and friends. Unlike in BJ, a When people stay for a long time, they will feel lonely.

The little guy couldn't understand what He Yuan was saying. After enjoying it with his eyes closed for a while, seeing that He Yuan didn't continue to touch it, the little guy took the initiative to stretch out his little paw, pulled He Yuan, and put his little head into He Yuan's hand. Lean on palm.

After He Yuan teased the little guy again, he went to look at its cat food.

There was not much cat food in the bowl, so He Yuan picked up a bag and prepared to add some to his bowl.

As soon as he started, he frowned.

"Hey, there's not enough cat food."

He Yuan took the bag and shook it. There was so little cat food in the bag that only the sound of "sparse and sparse" impact could be heard.

"It seems that we should buy some more online." He Yuan shook his head.

He Yuan ordered a few bags of cat food online before, but because he was worried that the little guy would not get used to it, he didn't buy too much.Maybe it's because he's growing up. The little guy's appetite has been a bit large recently, and he ate up a few bags of cat food before he knew it.

"Well, let me see, do you want to buy the same one from last time?" He Yuan took out his mobile phone, opened the shopping app, and looked online.

However, He Yuan quickly frowned, and muttered to himself: "Hey, it's the Chinese New Year, and the express delivery will be on holiday? So, this means that if we want to buy things, we have to go earlier?"

It wasn't until this time that He Yuan realized that it was the annual peak season for returning home.

In the past, this time of year was the most uncomfortable time for He Yuan.

Because after the new year, everyone has to go home, especially those who are engaged in the service industry, and they let go much earlier than He Yuan and the others.

He Yuan and the others usually only released the day before New Year's Eve. Occasionally, the boss would be merciful, or they could ask for leave in advance, but it could only be postponed for two or three days.

But a week or even half a month before that, those who were engaged in the service industry went home early.

The direct result of this is that at this time of year, He Yuan and the others will be in a dilemma of not being able to eat.

Every morning when I go out, I can't see a breakfast cart at a glance.

I wanted to eat at noon, but when I went out, I couldn't find a restaurant that was still open.

Even if takeaways have emerged in the past two years, this problem still cannot be completely solved-even if there are still shops open, riders have to go home.Such a few left-behind riders cannot satisfy the vast number of hungry urban white-collar workers.

At this time, not to mention the expensive delivery fee for the rider, the delivery time is still too long. Often when the food arrives, the food is already cold and can only be heated in the microwave before eating.

These can be tolerated no matter how far away, the most unbearable thing is that the express delivery has also stopped.

Although it is the end of the year, for those engaged in the Internet industry, there is no real holiday. What should be done must still be done, and the business that should be discussed should still be discussed.

Often a business is negotiated and a contract is about to be issued, but as soon as a phone call is made, the courier returns home.

Forget it, after all, at the end of the year, everyone can understand this kind of thing.However, the most difficult thing is that He Yuan only remembers at this time that he still has gifts he hasn't bought and things he hasn't sent.

Then, He Yuan sat on the wax.

Fortunately, this time He Yuan found out that there was not enough cat food in advance. Otherwise, in a few days, when the express delivery was out of service, He Yuan would really be staring at him—there were few pet shops in his hometown. The door was closed, and even if he wanted to buy cat food, he might not have a place to buy it. He could only go to the supermarket to pick a few and let the little guy deal with it.

He Yuan quickly contacted the store on the Internet, and after confirming that the goods could be shipped smoothly, He Yuan placed the order.

After finishing these, He Yuan lowered his head, the little guy saw that He Yuan didn't play with it, so he ran out for a while.

Seeing its increasingly vigorous figure, He Yuan shook his head.

It is no longer a kitten of two or three months, and in half a year, it will be a one-year-old adult cat.

Thinking of the little guy getting bigger and bigger, He Yuan suddenly felt a little worried. A grown cat, where can there be a milk cat for fun? At that time, it will lie in the yard all day long, motionless, like a 70-year-old grandmother.

Thinking of this scene, He Yuan suddenly felt a little sad.

After finishing all this, He Yuan returned to the living room.

Tang Duoduo had already come down from upstairs and was opening the plastic bag on the dining table.

"Come down." He Yuan asked.

Tang Duoduo let out a "hmm".

When she came home, she had already changed into a suit of clothes.

It's not the black silk and sailor outfits she used to, but a light-colored pullover sweater that He Yuan bought, paired with a pair of fleece black canvas pants on the upper and lower body, it looks fresh and lovely.

If the previous Tang Duoduo made He Yuan feel that she was a bit unscrupulous, then the current Tang Duoduo, just like the little girl next door, has a pure temperament suitable for her age.

He Yuan took two steps towards the dining table, glanced at Tang Duoduo, and suddenly said, "Have you gained weight recently?"

Tang Duoduo paused, turned her head, and looked at He Yuan expressionlessly.

Only then did He Yuan realize that he had said something wrong.

Whether it is a girl or a woman, the most taboo thing is to hear that they are "fat".

"It doesn't mean anything else, you are fine now, but you were too thin before." He Yuan waved his hand and said.

The previous Tang Duoduo had thin arms and legs, like a bamboo pole.Every time He Yuan looked at her, he was afraid that if she went outside, a gust of wind would blow her away.

It's better now, maybe it's because the food has been richer recently, and Tang Duoduo has also grown a little rounder.Although there is still some distance from the standard body shape, at least it doesn't look as skinny as before.

Too thin is not good, it is easy to grow out of the airport.

Tang Duoduo ignored him, opened the bag on her own, and took out the small box containing the food.

Just about to open the small box, Tang Duoduo suddenly remembered something, turned to He Yuan and said, "Do you want something to eat?"

"No, I've already eaten." He Yuan waved his hand, then glanced at the lunch box, "Try to see if the food is cold, if it's too cold, warm it up in the microwave first."

"No, it's warm." Tang Duoduo said.

He Yuan thought so too, it was only such a short distance, and he put his things in the car again, so it wouldn't get cold so quickly.

Tang Duoduo was eating at the side, and He Yuan sat down on a chair beside him, staring at him.

It was unnatural to be stared at by He Yuan, Tang Duoduo put down his chopsticks and said to He Yuan, "What's wrong?"

"What?" He Yuan was stunned for a moment, but did not respond.

"Why do you keep looking at me?"

He suddenly thought, "Because you look good."

As soon as this sentence came out, He Yuan burst out laughing.

Tian Rui has been using Douyin recently, and when he sees any good-looking videos, he will forward them to He Yuan, which makes He Yuan's mind reverberate all day long with all kinds of divine songs, as well as those messy earth-flavored love stories.

Fortunately, he didn't say this sentence, it would really ruin his image if he didn't do it right.

"It's nothing, by the way, I have already contacted someone about your school. If there is no accident, you can directly transfer to the School of Foreign Languages." He Yuan said to Tang Duoduo with a straight face.

"Go to foreign language?" Tang Duoduo asked.

He Yuan nodded.

"Then...shall I go there by car in the morning?" Tang Duoduo thought for a while, and said, "It seems a little inconvenient to take a car here, maybe I have to go to the city first, and then take a car from there ?”

He Yuan didn't pay special attention to this point.

He thought for a while, and said, "The foreign language side seems to live on campus, right?"

He vaguely remembered that his classmate in primary school, junior high school and high school all studied foreign languages.Since she went there, she has lived in reclusive life with little contact.In my impression, schools with such a rigorous style of study are generally boarding schools.

"Then don't go." Tang Duoduo refused very simply.

"Why? The foreign language school is pretty good." He Yuan was a little surprised. He had to choose for a long time before finally choosing the foreign language school.

As if realizing that his tone was too harsh, Tang Duoduo's voice slowed down a bit: "I don't want to be too far away from home."

"It's just living on campus, you can still come back every week." He Yuan couldn't laugh or cry, "This side is so close to that side, and it only takes about [-] minutes to drive. You can just take the bus to get off on the highway and walk for more than ten minutes. It will be back in minutes, less than half an hour before and after. Besides, there is a car at home, and at worst, I will go to school to pick you up every week."

Tang Duoduo didn't speak, but the reluctance on her face could be seen at a glance.

He Yuan sighed, and explained patiently: "The School of Foreign Languages ​​is good. The equipment there is good, and the teachers are also good. You have a little lack of foundation, and there is hope to make up for it. Besides, if you In the past, there is no need to worry about running into acquaintances, and there will be a lot less mess."

He Yuan specifically inquired about the School of Foreign Languages, but it is a quasi-noble college in the city, and the annual tuition fee is tens of thousands less.In the past, He Yuan would be reluctant to talk about so much money. Tuition plus school selection fees, plus three years of high school fees, it is estimated to cost two to three million yuan, which is comparable to the savings he had worked for five years after graduation. up.

Of course, things like money are not a big deal to He Yuan now. He doesn't have much cash in hand, but there is no problem in supporting Tang Duoduo until he graduates from university.

The point is, this kind of school, in the circle Tang Duoduo lives in now, basically no one can enter it.If Tang Duoduo can pass, it can basically ensure that she can break away from the previous circle.

Even if her group of relatives find the school, He Yuan is not very worried - they can't even enter the school gate.

Tang Duoduo lowered her head and remained silent.

"What's wrong with you?" He Yuan felt something was wrong.

"It's nothing." Tang Duoduo took the chopsticks again and started to eat.

He Yuan felt that the little girl had something on her mind, but she just refused to say it.

After a meal, Tang Duoduo cleared the table and went upstairs.He Yuan stood in the living room, watching her receding back, couldn't help but sighed.

The child has grown up and has things on his mind.

But soon, He Yuan began to worry again.

Although Tang Duoduo didn't speak, her meaning was very clear, she just didn't want to go there.

This is a bit like He Yuan, if he doesn't like something, he won't make a scene, but just watch silently and solve the problem in a cold way.If it really can't be solved—then you can only accept your fate.

No way, who made He Yuan incapable of resisting fate before.

Since no matter what you do, you can't change the result, it's better to close your eyes and bear it silently.

But He Yuan still didn't understand why Tang Duoduo didn't want to study foreign languages. If he knew that he could go to the foreign language institute when he was in school, he would be so happy.

After all, it is a legendary school for the aristocrats. Even if the academic performance is at the bottom after entering, if you go out to get together with your friends, it is something you can brag about.After all, it costs tens of thousands of optical expenses a year in it.

And I heard that the school uniforms over there are different from those of other schools. He Yuan and his school's school uniforms in the past were all very bulky clothes, which he wouldn't even wear if he threw them on the ground.But it is said that at the School of Foreign Languages, they are all those small suits, gray dresses and the like, like idol dramas.

Besides, don't ordinary children like to live in school?
Anyway, when He Yuan was in school, he wished he could go out to live. After all, it was too inconvenient to stay at home and do things.Sometimes even when I go home a few minutes late, I will be served a meal of fried pork with bamboo shoots.

But at that time, he went to school, came out from home, and went to school, and the middle time was only a few minutes, to about ten minutes.If He Yuan dared to mention living in school, his father would dare to beat him to death.

But now that he has the conditions, He Yuan doesn't like living with others.

Shared renting with others, how can I live comfortably by myself, sometimes I suddenly have a stomachache, and when I run to the toilet, I find someone inside.Or you can boil water after you get home, and you want to take a comfortable bath for a while, but when you go into the bathroom after the hour, you find that the water you have worked so hard to boil has been used by others.

Besides, if they rent together, it would be inconvenient for them to bring someone back.If you meet that kind of narrow-minded person, you will directly complain to the housekeeper without telling you - He Yuan has never been complained about this matter, but when he was raising cats in a place before, he was caught by a Complained to the new couple who moved in.

It's not about yelling at them, or scratching them.

He Yuan kept the cat at home all the time, without making any noise.

But after people found out that you had a cat, they didn't discuss it with you, and went to the housekeeper directly.He Yuan didn't know that he had been complained until he was called by the housekeeper. The reason was that cats were not allowed in this kind of shared apartment.

In fact, when He Yuan moved in, he asked the housekeeper if he could keep pets. The housekeeper replied that in principle, it is not allowed, but if it does not disturb others, it is actually possible by default.

The previous residents had a good relationship with He Yuan. Everyone knew that He Yuan had a cat, so they didn't say much, and even came to tease the little guy often.

But ever since the roommate who partnered with He Yuan bought a house in BJ with his girlfriend, after moving out, a new couple came in and complained to He Yuan after a few days of coming in—well, The point is that after they complained, they still acted as if they didn't know. They met He Yuan in the public area and greeted him jokingly, which was a bit disgusting.

He Yuanli didn't bother to pay attention to them.

Shaking his head, He Yuan took out his phone and checked the time.

Tian Rui is on the evening shift today, so she won't be able to come out at night.Even if she came out, she would not go out for supper with He Yuan.

Miss Tian made up her mind to start working hard to lose weight and spend this new year safely.

In her words, she still wants to wear a beautiful bridal outfit when she gets married in the future. She has been dreaming about that moment for more than 20 years.

I used to be fat, this kind of thing can only be thought about, now that I have lost weight, why not continue to work hard.

It seems that the duck's wedding gave her a lot of excitement.

After losing Tian Rui, He Yuan's life became much more monotonous.

In the past, he could only make tea at home, tease cats, and when he was bored, he would play a movie at home with a projector, or research recipes online by himself, and think about what to eat.

Now, although he still has a lot of things to do, it's a pity that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and even if he wants to advance many things, the time does not allow him - even if he doesn't rest, others will.

But fortunately, things have basically been finalized, and only after this year is over, those things can be on the right track.

However, thinking about what happened yesterday, He Yuan's heart was once again clouded.

Is there still time for me at this time...

No matter how sad he is, life will go on as usual.

Especially when the new year is approaching, many people who have been wandering outside have already returned home one after another.

Of course, even at home, everyone's time is still different.

For example, some companies start their holidays one month in advance; some companies start their holidays half a month in advance; and some companies can only start their holidays on New Year's Eve...

Of course, when you encounter this situation, you can also comfort yourself. Air tickets on New Year’s Eve are cheaper, and you should go back. The cars are all crowded by people.

However, some people live in places where there are no planes.

Even if you can fly to the airport by plane, after landing, you have to take a high-speed rail or a bus, which takes seven or eight hours before you can return to your hometown.

If you are lucky, you can still have a New Year’s Eve dinner. If you are not lucky, even the bus is out of service, and you can’t take a taxi. You can only brave the cold wind and shiver outside the empty house, hoping to stop by the roadside A kind-hearted person gave them a ride along the way.

Therefore, He Yuan's primary school group became lively again.

It probably means that some people want to come back during the Chinese New Year. They are afraid that they will not be able to get a taxi by then, so they ask if there is a carpool, or if they come to pick up and drop off, they will give money.

This price is not low.

When He Yuan came back near the end of the year, he landed very late, almost a little sooner, and all the subways and buses were out of service. At that time, He Yuan was thinking, should he take a taxi directly and spend two hours back to his hometown, or find a hotel first Stay one night, take the high-speed rail or bus the next day, and then go back.

As it turned out, there was that kind of puller at the gate of the airport, and there happened to be someone who went back to He Yuan's hometown, so He Yuan asked by the way.

With a tone of "Hey, I'm just missing you, I'm leaving right away", the other party offered a price of [-] for carpooling and [-] to [-] for chartered cars.

He Yuan turned his head and left.

I can't sit still, I'm leaving.

He Yuan temporarily used the app to book a hotel nearby.

It may be because the end of the year is approaching and there are not many people, so the price He Yuan booked is also very cheap, only about [-] yuan, which is about [-] square meters, a very large room.

He Yuan took a bath in it and slept comfortably. He didn't get up until almost noon the next day. After washing and eating, he spent about [-] yuan to take the high-speed train home.

Including the ten or so yuan for a taxi, it cost a total of two hundred yuan.

Calculated in this way, it doesn't seem to be much cheaper. After all, if you take a car, the other party will take you home directly, saving you the time of going back and forth.Of course, if you're unlucky and the driver has to send someone else home first, then you'll be on the road.

Anyway, one time, He Yuan carpooled with others in order to catch up on time. As a result, the original two-hour journey took more than five hours when He Yuan arrived home.At that time, He Yuan was so exhausted that he felt like vomiting after getting out of the car.

Originally, this year, it had nothing to do with He Yuan, but he received a message.

"Old He, if you have time, help me pick someone up."
