Taxi at night

Chapter 39, Accidents again and again

A month later, it seemed that due to the long dormancy, the taxi market was as expected by Guo Yi, with an astonishing rise.No, it should be described as turbulent and bizarre.

A second-hand expired taxi, only the license plate for transfer procedures, jumped from less than 2 yuan to 4 to 5 in a straight line, and the upward momentum is strong, and it is likely to exceed 10 by the end of the year.

This was simply a sudden earthquake. Both industry insiders and ordinary people were stunned by the rocket-like upward momentum.

The most ecstatic is the Du family father and son. The sick second-hand taxi they bought before was like a delicate and weak lady before the price increase.Even so, the monthly income is only a little more than that of Lu Ren working for others.Alas, it's all bitter tears. What could make the Du family and his son more heartbroken than this?
Now all the hard work comes, and the times come and go. According to the current trend, only the appreciation of the vehicle itself can bring huge profits.In contrast, the income that the father and son earn from working day and night every month is insignificant and not worth mentioning.

People who own taxis hold the car tightly in their hands, holding it up every day; people who sell taxis rashly sigh with regret, and if they try to catch up again, the price of the car has skyrocketed, making you climb up in an instant Sorry.

This is like a white-skinned radish that was produced in the folk, entered the back kitchen of the palace, and transformed into a palace radish that is worth a hundred times; it is also like the unknown Cinderella who jumped into a noble princess... The essence has not changed at all, in the world His eyes were shining with gold, which was extremely noble.

The value of taxis has increased, and the owner of the car has become more and more attractive.

At the beginning, people introduced partners to Lu Ren one after another, some familiar... and some half-acquainted matchmakers came to the door to say kiss... In short, a large group of girls popped up all at once. After careful inquiry, it turned out that these young girls were hiding not far from him.

Lu Ren was secretly surprised, why the buddies couldn't see their existence before, but now they are springing up like mushrooms after rain, all of them are fresh and delicious, elegant and fragrant.

It can be said that "with a car in hand, there is hope to be unmarried", the taxi still looks grim and dilapidated, but in Lu Ren's eyes, it fascinates him so much, moves his heart, and makes him feel infinitely moved.

After a period of pleasant surprises, Lu Ren calmed down. After half a year, he will face a difficult problem: getting a new car.

Getting a new car means shelling out a lot of money.Where did the money come from?Of course, it must be obtained from daily labor.It's just that there is not much time left for Lu Ren, six months at most.

Now a new car costs about 6 to 8 yuan, which means that Lu Ren earns at least 1 yuan a month.

It takes money to talk about a partner, but it needs to save money to buy a new car. If the fish and the bear's paw can't be taken care of at the same time, Lu Ren has to make a choice.

This decision is not difficult to make. Naturally, saving money to buy a car should be the top priority, and the rest will be put aside for the time being.

Lu Ren decided to extend his daily working hours until early morning, leaving only 6 to 8 hours of rest for himself. "Everything depends on money" has become his goal this year.

The wheels were spinning, the banknotes were getting thicker and thicker, and Lu Ren's enthusiasm for work became more and more intense.Because he believes that if he pays, there will be rewards, but he miscalculated tonight. Not only did he not earn a penny, but he paid a lot of money.

Although he felt distressed, he didn't regret it.

At nine o'clock in the evening, a group of passengers got off at the bus station, bustling with 30 people in total.At this time, there was a light rain, and there was a lot of it, floating on the face, making people feel a little cool.

Lu Ren was driving by, and under the illumination of the street lights, he saw a girl carrying a suitcase standing by the gate of the station. After rejecting several taxis in a row, she rushed over immediately.He was a little curious, what made this girl unwilling to take a car?With a heart of gossip, Lu Ren stepped forward and asked, "Girl, do you want to take a car?"

Lu Ren took a quick look.At the age of seventeen or eighteen, with a pair of myopia glasses on the bridge of the nose, she is slender, like a girl who has returned home from work.

"Are you a taxi?" After hearing the girl's vigilant question, Lu Ren couldn't help pursing his lips, thinking to himself, isn't my car not like a taxi?
"Girl, this is a serious taxi. Take a look at the meter, the empty sign, and the logo of the city taxi company sprayed on the outside of the car... and the citizen supervision and complaint card. Can these be faked? ?”

"Why is your car different from... the one just now?" The girl still had unanswered questions and questioned.

"You want to say that those cars just now are cars, why is mine a van... right?"

The girl nodded earnestly. In fact, there was one thing she hadn't said in her heart, that is, Lu Ren's car was so bad that she was too embarrassed to open her mouth to say it.In addition, there was a light rain tonight, and the car body was covered with mud. As a result, the car became even more ugly, no wonder it aroused the vigilance and suspicion of the girl.

"This car is about to expire. I will get a new car next year. Before that, I can't just throw it away, right? Do you think so?" Lu Ren explained to the girl exhaustedly, the same Questions, he has to answer many times a day, which has long been used to it.

"Do you know about the water plant?" After hesitating for a while, the girl finally made up her mind and lowered her head to ask Lu Ren in the car.

"There are two water plants in the city, one is old and the other is new, which one do you want to go to?"

"It seems to be the newly built one, near Yuwa Village." The girl's Mandarin was very standard, and for a while, Lu Ren couldn't tell where she was from.
"Then go to the new water plant. It's been under construction for the past two years, and the roads are not easy to walk. And there are no street lights at night, and the lights are dark..." At this point, Lu Ren understood why the girl couldn't get in a taxi The reason is not that the girls are picky, but that the taxi drivers think that the rainy day is dark and the roads are not easy to travel, and it takes a long time to earn little money, so they gave up decisively.

Lu Ren felt a sense of retreat in his heart, he hurriedly stopped talking, and was about to drive away.

"Master, please open the car door so that I can put my luggage in." The girl was short-sighted, but not blind.When she noticed Lu Ren's expression of retreating, she immediately made the correct judgment and did not wait any longer.

"Girl, why don't you change to a better car. Look...my car lights are not clear, and it's easy to cause trouble in rainy days." At this moment, it was Lu Ren who spoke soft words, revealed his family's fault, and wholeheartedly persuaded the girl not to boarding.

"Master, I think your car is very good. Can you open the door?" The girl begged tenderly, while stretching out a slender hand to pull the door.

Seeing her exerting all her strength, Lu Ren understood that the girl was also anxious to wait.
