half-baked life

Chapter 86 He is not an old man, he is my husband.

Just as Jiang He was about to step forward and lend a hand, the woman had already helped the little electric donkey up neatly. Her strength was much stronger than Jiang He thought.

The drawstring of the red poncho was probably broken, and the oversized hat couldn't be held up at all. Because it fell back a lot, most of the woman's head was exposed, and it was soaked by the rain in the blink of an eye.

The woman pulled her hat back nonchalantly, straightened her round glasses that were tilted to her forehead, and wiped the rain and white mist on the lenses with her fingers.

Only then did Jiang He see her face clearly and felt that she should be about the same age as him.

"I'm sorry, the rain was too heavy, I...I just didn't see clearly." The woman looked at Jiang He with a look that was a little guilty, flinching, and unconcealable anxiety. She sniffed hard as she spoke. , obviously very cold.

Although she was wearing a poncho, it was so windy and rainy that nothing could stop her. Less than half a minute after Jiang He got out of the car, his trouser legs below the knees were already almost wet.

After the woman apologized, she did not immediately negotiate compensation with Jiang He. Instead, she was busy caring about the takeout she wanted to deliver.

She obviously wanted to take a look, but she was afraid that the takeaway would get wet in the rain, so she only opened the box a narrow crack and stretched her arms in to check.

The woman leaned over and touched for a while, but obviously she couldn't find the ugly Yin Mao. She bent over again and peered in along the narrow slit.

Upon seeing this, Jiang He quickly tilted the umbrella over and covered the takeout box and the woman under the umbrella.

It took the woman a few seconds to realize that the rain had stopped. She looked up, quickly thanked Jiang He, and then carefully opened the takeout box.

Jiang He also took a look from the takeout box. She noticed that there were three takeaways inside. Fortunately, they were all tightly wrapped. There was only one Malatang with some soup spilled out. But it was not a big problem. The woman obviously felt the same way. Obviously He breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm really sorry for causing you trouble. Do you think...how much is the appropriate repair fee?"

The woman wiped the wet rain from her face and asked carefully. Jiang He noticed that her hair was already soaked, and drops of rainwater were pouring down the woman's thin and delicate cheeks into her neck.

Jiang He turned around and glanced at the butt of the car that was hit. The right lampshade, which had a small crack in it, was completely smashed, and there were two six-seven centimeter-long scratches on the side.

The woman followed Jiang He's gaze and was obviously a little panicked, especially when she saw the Mercedes-Benz logo.

However, she tried to stay calm, pushed up her glasses that were about to slip off the bridge of her nose, and then spoke for the first time, "... If you don't go to the 4S store, you should be able to replace it with a complete assembly for 300 yuan."

Jiang He glanced at the woman in surprise, because the price she said was really accurate.

When she drove this car to the 4S shop for maintenance last week, she wanted to change the lampshade, but the shop said that if she wanted to change it, she had to change it, and it would cost 2000. Jiang He originally planned to pay, but the warm-hearted elder brother gave it to him. He stopped me and said that it would only cost 300 yuan to go to a regular car repair shop to replace the assembly. "It's absolutely the same. Believe me, my sister, this 4S shop is just 'cutting leeks'!"

When the woman saw that Jiang He didn't say anything for a long time, she thought she was too young, "If you think it's not possible, then... let's add a WeChat account. After I finish delivering these meals, I will go to the repair shop with you. I You know a repair shop that does really good repairs...or you can go to one you are familiar with, that’s fine, do you think that’s okay?”

"No, you misunderstood." Jiang He quickly explained after hearing this, "My lampshade is cracked. There is no need to pay for it. Really, you can go about your business."

The woman obviously didn't expect such a good thing. Her eyes fell hesitantly on Jiang He's face. Just as she was about to speak to confirm, she was frightened by a short horn sound behind her.

"Beauty, if we have anything to do, please step aside and deal with it. Don't block us here, okay? Be a little bit more civic-minded!"

The driver, who was extremely grumpy at first glance, was smoking a cigarette, lowered the window by a third and shouted at Jiang He.

Only then did Jiang He realize that in just two or three minutes, the car behind him had already been blocked for dozens of meters.

She hurried back to the car and was about to start it when the woman suddenly knocked on her passenger window. Jiang He hesitantly lowered the window, and the woman immediately handed over a wet business card. "Li Tao?" Jiang He took the business card and read out the name on it. The name was unusually nice, just like the heroine in a romance novel. The position under the name was the overseas purchasing manager of Fanyu, a well-known Internet company.

Jiang He was a little surprised. Fanyu's cross-border business has developed well in the past few years, but he admires the wolf culture. Is it possible that Li Tao was eliminated from the last place?

When Jiang He thought of this, he immediately thought about the tragic experience of 30+ working women who were laid off, but repeatedly encountered obstacles in finding jobs. In order to make a living for the family, they had to ride a small electric donkey to deliver food in the rain, and suddenly there were a few more things in his heart. We have sympathy for each other.

Li Tao, who was riding on a small electric donkey, struggled to hold on to the rain hat that almost covered her entire face, and tried to raise her voice, "This is my old business card, but the number is correct. If you don't believe it, you can call me." one time."

"I believe it. After all, if you want to lie to me, you don't have to give me this business card, right?"

When Li Tao heard what Jiang He said, she was stunned again. She smiled and nodded. Just as she was about to say something, several more horns with obvious urging came from behind.

"Then call me if you need anything."

She nodded to Jiang He, accelerated the speed, and the little electric donkey galloped out. The red poncho was like a small flag and quickly disappeared into the rain and traffic.

This episode made Jiang He nearly 5 minutes late than the agreed time.

Fortunately, as soon as she drove into the parking lot of Xiong Yunhao's community, she received a message from the other party's family, saying that she had something to do outside and would be about half an hour late. "Please wait for me. Don’t knock on the door.”

"Okay. Take your time, I'm not in a hurry."

After Jiang He replied to her family members, she turned on the air conditioner in the car to the maximum and blew it for nearly 20 minutes until her face almost cracked, and then she dried her trouser legs that were almost dripping with water.

Jiang He then found Xiong Yunhao's house according to the address provided by his family. The floor mat in front of his house was quite interesting, in the style of a pixel game, with a line of small words written on it, "Stepping on this place can trigger random events."

"...Random event?" Jiang He deliberately stepped on that cute floor mat several times, a little curious about what he could "trigger".

Now that Jiang He thinks about his behavior at that time, he still regrets it very much, and the degree is no less than that of wrongly trusting Yu Wei years ago!
She waited in front of Xiong Yunhao's house for another ten minutes. Just when Jiang He was about to send a message to ask how long it would take for the family to arrive, a somewhat familiar figure limped over from the direction of the elevator.

The man came closer, and Jiang He realized it was Li Tao.

Li Tao was as wet as if she had just been fished out of the water. The red poncho in her hand was dripping with water. Li Tao obviously did not expect that Jiang He would come to the door and recognize her. At that moment, the whole person was as nervous as a rabbit stuck in a hole.

"You...what do you want to do? How do you know my home is here?"

Even through his glasses, Li Tao's scrutinizing and vigilant eyes were still as sharp as knives. Jiang He was sure that as long as he answered a word wrong, Li Tao would immediately dial the alarm number with his right hand behind his back.

In a flash of lightning, Jiang He's bewildered brain suddenly came to his senses.

"Li Tao, listen to me, I'm not following you. I'm Jiang He, Jieping's bathing assistant. I'm here to visit and understand the physical condition of the old man Xiong Yunhao... This should be the home of the old man Xiong Yunhao, right? ?”

After hearing this, Li Tao blinked in disbelief, and then laughed loudly.

Her smile was extremely bright, without any bitterness or complaint about taking care of a disabled elderly person for a long time, just like Jiang He telling a joke that had nothing to do with him but was extremely interesting.

"Yes, this is Xiong Yunhao's home. But I have to correct you, Xiong Yunhao is not an old man, he...hahahaha...he is my husband."
