Taxi at night

Chapter 92, Half Fan of Lamb

With Lu Ren's great help, Guo Yi's car was pulled out of the ditch, and the rest of the matter was much easier...

Lu Ren didn't go home until about ten o'clock in the evening. When he met a car throwing deicing agent on the road, he was overjoyed that he could go on the road again tomorrow.

The snow in Shuangjing Hutong has not been cleared, and the hard snow has become smooth and slippery after being stepped on by pedestrians. If you don't pay attention, you may fall.According to the gossip of the neighbors, since the snow fell, several elderly people have been admitted to the hospital because of falls and broken bones.

Lu Ren drove slowly to the door in slow gear and found a leeward place to stop.At this time, there was a clatter of the courtyard door, and a group of people crowded out of Brother Qi's house, including men and women, and dispersed after leaving the courtyard... No need to look, Lu Ren also knew that the card game next door had broken up.

Brother Qi's wife, Mrs. Wang, takes care of the children at home all year round. She has more leisure time. She is young and energetic and has nowhere to vent. She has gradually become obsessed with mahjong, either at other people's homes or at her own home. There is a small game every day, and a big game every three days. interruption.

Lu Ren laughed secretly, and was about to turn back to the courtyard, but was stopped by brother Qi who was sending the guests out.

"Brother Lu, I just came back." While talking, he leaned forward to talk to him. Judging from the situation, there should be something to discuss.

"Well, how was the result tonight?"

"It's so-so, one win and one loss, my wife wins, and I lose like pants." Brother Qi joked, reaching for a cigarette.

"It's normal. My sister-in-law's level is professional. She wins more than she loses. It's a rare match in this area." Lu Ren listened more to Uncle Li's dictation, and Wang was proficient in poker.Since he joined Wang's game, the rent is basically free, and sometimes he has to pay for it, which makes him complain and complain, but he still enjoys it.

This is like the rich people counting on the workers to make money, while the Xiaomis take oil from the rich.

"Haha... this is all for fun. Brother Lu, I want to ask you one thing... help me get some goods tomorrow, okay? The travel expenses are easy to talk about." Brother Qi smiled and asked.

Lu Ren suddenly understood that the mutton meal at noon was not for nothing. Lu Ren nodded and asked him what he was going to eat?
"Isn't it the Chinese New Year soon? My hometown has a batch of sheep, which were just slaughtered yesterday. They want me to bring them to the city and sell them for a good price."

"That's it! I remember that your hometown is in the area of ​​Shahe Town. The road is not easy to walk. What if you don't stop for two days? Wait until the snow melts."

"Don't, brother Lu. Just wait for a good price in this snowy day, don't you know... Now a catty of fresh mutton sells for several times more." Brother Qi was a little anxious when he heard that Lu Ren wanted to refuse. , and immediately said: "We are all neighbors, please do me a favor. All in all, I won't embarrass you. You can ask for the price, and I have nothing to say... In addition, I will give you half a leaf of fresh mutton, what do you think?"

This price is naturally very generous, but Lu Ren is a little tempted.

"I'm not too worried on the highway. It's just a matter of running slowly. The key is to get off the dirt road. If you get stuck there, it will be troublesome." Lu Ren thought that he had just pulled Guo Yi out of the pit, and he didn't want to repeat the same mistakes. But no one ran to save him.Count on Guo Yi?Even thinking about it is impossible.

"I've thought about this for you a long time ago. Let's not go on a difficult road, and I don't want to work hard. Let them use motorcycles to come to the side of the road, and we only take the main road. Do you think this is okay? "As soon as Brother Qi's words came out, Lu Ren was cornered, so Lu Ren could only sigh and nodded in agreement.

Brother Qi's hometown has a tradition of farming. It is backed by a sandy river, with luxuriant water and grass, and criss-cross hills. In recent years, roads have been overhauled, and the economy has achieved considerable development.However, a heavy snowfall made everything more difficult. Seeing that the year was approaching and all kinds of local products could not be sold, it was natural to be anxious.

Just after eight o'clock the next day, Lu Ren took Brother Qi and ran towards Shahe Town.The snow on the national highway had basically been cleared, trucks going north and south roared past Lu Ren, blowing up gusts of cold wind and heading towards him.After getting off the national road and entering the county road, the situation is much worse. The road is narrow and slippery, and vehicles slipping into the ditch can often be seen, as well as collision accidents, no fewer than seven or eight.Lu Ren stopped and stopped on the road. He originally planned to travel for two hours, but it would be good to arrive at noon.

Then leave the county road and turn into the village road, with twists and turns, only allowing one car to pass.The most frightening thing is to cross the stone bridge. The bridge deck is only two meters wide, there are no guardrails on both sides, and the bare horizontal arch is on the ditch. If you are not careful, you may fall into the ditch.Moreover, there were more than one or two bridges like this, there were probably four or five bridges, which made Lu Ren feel a headache and regret endlessly.Thinking about it carefully, for the free half mutton, it really shouldn't be so desperate.

I have come so far, I regret it.What appeared in front of me was a dense bamboo forest standing on a hill, and many bamboos were crushed by the snow due to the heavy load, and fell to the side in a mess.

A mountain road out of the village passes through the forest. According to Brother Qi, you will arrive at the place after passing the bottom of the hill.

Lu Ren stepped up the accelerator and rushed forward, but failed three times in a row.

"No! Brother Qi, let me stop here." Lu Ren had tried his best, but he didn't want to destroy his car.

"Okay then! I'll ask someone to bring the things over here, and you can find a place to turn around." Brother Qi groaned inwardly, and agreed.

Lu Ren turned the car around in an empty threshing floor, sat in the car and waited quietly.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Brother Qi still didn't come back, Lu Ren was a little anxious.As if he was afraid that Lu Ren would be lonely, Dad called again at this time, feeling uneasy, and answered the phone.

"Dad, is something wrong?"

"It's a little thing, I need to tell you." Dad hesitated, and after a while, he finally said: "Yesterday, the pig at home was sold, and it cost more than 5000 yuan... No, the Chinese New Year is coming soon Well, the 3000 yuan I borrowed from you, can I pay it back after the new year?"

"That's it... okay! I'm not waiting to use the money for the time being, you spend it first!" Lu Ren was also speechless. Ever since he lent the money, he knew that the possibility of getting it back was almost zero.However, he still has to urge the money, and he can't let go of it, otherwise, the old debt will not be returned, and the new debt will come soon. This is also a strategy.

To be honest, he believes that his father will not deliberately refuse to pay back the money, but isn't there still a stepmother?The process of repaying the money was inevitably full of surprises, which he had already thought of.

Dad mentioned the matter of repaying the money, which reminded him of the 1 yuan borrowed from Chef Le, yes!At the end of the year, I have to pay off my debts.

Lu Ren planned to pay off Chef Le's loan in a week or two.At the end of the year, who is not waiting to spend money?People don't urge them to stop because of face, but they can't refuse to pay back the money and be a rascal.

"That's good, that's good. It's a deal. Don't mention paying back the money when you come back from the Chinese New Year." When my father was about to hang up the phone, he cautioned.

Lu Ren agreed to come down, but he didn't mention killing him.
