Chapter 16 Take Me with You
Please remember our website address and wish you all a happy reading! Don’t forget to spread the word.
The air is still filled with the smell of residual smoke from fireworks and firecrackers, which is a bit choking, but it seems that this is the smell that the Chinese New Year should have, which is commonly known as the New Year flavor.
Especially for Zhou Ze at this time, life seems to be a little more beautiful.
It’s not a love that promises eternal love, nor is it an exaggeration of the perfect harmony between the mountains and the earth.
It is simply equivalent to a child who has little pocket money and picks up a ten-dollar bill while walking on the street. There is no police uncle passing by, but there is a canteen very close to him.
After going through hell and changing bodies, there are still many discovered and undiscovered troubles that need to be solved, and my personality has also changed a lot without knowing it.
I think about myself in my last life, when I walked out of the orphanage, and all I could think about was relying on my own hands and abilities to climb up step by step. In fact, upon closer inspection, the reason why I ignored Dr. Lin at that time may not have been five years. How cute and ugly was the former Dr. Lin? Girls at that time must have been in Huaichun, otherwise they would not have cut out the photo and put it in their wallet.
It's a pity that at that time, I didn't have the energy or the inclination to take another look at the scenery on the road. I was too obsessed with it, and I was bitter and resentful, and I pretended that I was hanging on, and I was hanging on like a breath of fresh air.
Unlike now, when a person dies once and comes back again, there is a feeling of freedom and sadness of "having no official position and being light-hearted".
But no matter what,
The feeling of being secretly loved by someone, even the feeling of "loving me to death",
Not bad indeed.
After making a call, Dr. Lin came down again. He came down a little hurriedly, took his women's bag from Zhou Ze, smiled, and did not say thank you. With the current relationship between the two, saying "thank you" was better than saying "thank you". Saying "I'm sorry" is even more inappropriate.
Wave,
Zhou Ze left behind a silhouette,
Go back to sleep,
Then wait for tomorrow, tomorrow will be better.
Dr. Lin felt that her husband's mood seemed to have changed slightly, like a feeling of relief.
Perhaps it is indeed a good thing that both parties can think openly.
Instead of continuing to be entangled awkwardly, it is better to separate freely and face life again.
It can only be said that things in the world are unpredictable. It is impossible for Dr. Lin to imagine that there is another soul living in her husband's body.
It was the man she loved when she was an intern.
Zhou Ze called a car again, and then squatted at the gate of the community smoking a cigarette. The search message kept displaying on the screen of his mobile phone. Zhou Ze regretted why he let the car owner go. He should have asked him to wait for a while. Then take his car back to the bookstore.
it's good now,
On the night of New Year’s Eve,
The car is really hard to call.
After waiting for about ten minutes and smoking three cigarettes, Zhou Ze felt a little bored. He stood up straight and stretched.
Although he was not very afraid of the cold, it was quite tiring just walking back like this.
Just at this moment, a black car drove over from the road in front of Zhou Ze. When passing by Zhou Ze, he slowed down.
"Are you leaving?" The driver stuck his head out of the car window. He had a round face, was young, unshaven, and was wearing a black cotton coat.
"Let's go." Zhou Ze had no other choice.
"Get in the car, I won't charge you more." The driver smiled.
Zhou Ze got in the car, told him the location of the bookstore, negotiated the price, and the driver started the car again.
This car must be new, the seat cushions still smell of plastic and leather, and the inside is very clean.
Generally speaking, few people are willing to take out a new car as a passenger sports car.
"That place is remote." The driver offered Zhou Ze a cigarette, and Zhou Ze took it.
"Um."
"You live there?"
"The shop is over there."
"Oh, isn't it difficult to do business?" That business has long been dead and has lost popularity, as many people know.
"Aren't you a local?" Zhou Ze asked.
The Tongcheng local dialect is different from other local dialects. It is almost the same style as Mandarin and is easy to hear.
"I live in Chengdu, and I work here." The driver lit a cigarette, "Smoke, you're welcome."
Zhou Ze also lit a cigarette, took a puff, and frowned slightly. The smell of the cigarette was so bland that it didn't look like it.
"You won't go back during the New Year?"
"My wife and kids are at home. There's no problem. I won't go back. I want to make some more money." The driver stretched his hand out the window and shook out the cigarette ashes. "I have four kids."
"It's amazing." Zhou Ze praised.
"It's difficult." The driver said, "My mother-in-law gave birth to a son with her first child, and a boy with her second child. I just wanted to have a daughter, and then the third child was a boy. Fortunately, the fourth child was a boy. The fetus is finally a daughter, and I am satisfied.”
"Okay." Zhou Ze agreed, took another puff of cigarette, and then threw the cigarette out of the window. The smoke was so light that it looked like he was smoking a paper roll.
"I'm not an old-fashioned person, nor do I favor boys over girls. I just like children and want to have more children, haha." When talking about his children, the driver talked more.
"The youngest hasn't paid the fine yet. When I go to school, I'll have to pay for the household registration. By the way, what kind of store do you open?"
"bookstore."
"How's business?" The driver didn't pick up any pots.
.
"not so good."
"Yes, these days you can also buy books online, and there are coupons."
There was a car accident on the road ahead, and the traffic police set up roadblocks there. The original four lanes were now only single lanes. Fortunately, there were not many cars on the road late at night during the New Year, so the delay should not be long.
"It's quite unlucky to bump into a car during the Chinese New Year." The driver blew out a smoke ring, and his tone of voice was very much like that of a leader, with a bit of criticism.
Zhou Ze leaned back, changed to a more comfortable sitting position, and asked:
"Did you buy this car new?"
"Well, my son gave it to me."
Zhou Ze smiled and said, "How old are you? How old is your son?"
"Hehe." The driver narrowed his eyes, "Son, try your best. These days, it's more about your ambition than your age. You have hands, feet and brains. Don't commit yourself to memorizing words. How can you be poor?"
"That's right." Zhou Ze nodded in agreement.
"Didi...Didi..."
The car behind me seemed to be in a hurry to get home, and its horn honked frequently, urging the car in front to pass quickly.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry to hell."
The driver's temper was a bit crazy. He leaned out of the car again and cursed at the car behind him.
But the cars behind them sounded their horns more frequently, as if they were deliberately demonstrating.
"Hey!"
The driver pushed open the door and prepared to get out of the car to have a good discussion.
At this moment, the traffic policeman clearing the traffic in front gestured to the cars here to pass quickly. The driver then sat back calmly, started the car and drove over.
"Business is not going well today." The driver began to lament again, "If I had known better, it would be better to go home and see my wife and children."
"It's not bad." Zhou Ze was noncommittal. He saw that the business of the noodle shop next door was still good. Most of the competitors had taken a break for the New Year. Even though the demand was smaller during the New Year period, there was still more business than before. .
Especially just now, Zhou Ze took a taxi for so long and no one took the order.
"Hey, it's not easy." The driver still shook his head, "I don't dare to take a break. I have to send money home every month to pay for my children's tuition. I usually go to work during the day and drive half the night. These days , It’s a boring life, even if it’s this cigarette, I can’t bear to smoke a better one.”
Your cigarette... seems to be fake.
Zhou Ze took out his cigarettes, took out one, and played with it in his hand.
"But it's okay. The Internet is now convenient. It's good to have a video chat with my wife and children before going to bed at night. I can see them." The driver's face showed a soothing look.
Zhou Ze closed his eyes slightly. He couldn't sleep, but at this time, he didn't really want to talk or chat.
But even without Zhou Ze's feedback and reaction, the driver continued to say what he said. During the Chinese New Year, he was alone in a foreign land and was a stranger, so of course he was lonely.
The driver talked nonsense about everything from the child's name, to the child's school, to his parents, to the customs and customs of his village.
In the end, Zhou Ze just leaned his forehead against the car window and urged: "Master, drive faster."
The driver drove the car too slowly, maybe thirty miles.
You know, this is an elevated road.
Zhou Ze even thought that the other party was too lonely, so he deliberately drove slowly to find someone to chat with, but Zhou Ze had no interest in being a close friend.
"Hey, it's a new car. I'm not too familiar with it yet, so I don't dare to drive too fast." The driver touched the steering wheel with some treasure. "This car is not valuable, even very cheap, but it is also my eldest son's heart. I have to cherish and treasure it." it.
I'm trying to use this car to do business for a few years. After my eldest son has found a partner, I can get him a house. Let's take care of each other first. I don't want the older one to take care of the younger one. It's not fair to the older one. After all, It was me, the father, who decided to have a baby. As long as I could still work and go to work, I had to grit my teeth and carry it. We are not irresponsible people, and we will not do anything to take care of our children. "
Zhou Ze frowned slightly,
He felt a little annoyed,
Then he lit a cigarette of his own and took a puff,
"Master, really, please hurry up." Zhou Ze missed his freezer a little, and he also regretted it. He would have known better if he had asked Dr. Lin to drive him back.
"Don't worry, young man, we are destined to celebrate the Chinese New Year, no need to rush, I understand, I understand, I am an experienced driver..."
Zhou Ze flicked the ashes from his cigarette,
I accidentally didn't pop up the car window.
A handful of cigarette ash fell on the inside of the door.
Immediately afterwards,
There was a hole on the inside of the car door burned by cigarette ash.
A hole the size of a thumb,
The cool breeze outside couldn't help blowing in from the small hole.
