Chapter 230 On the Road
Zhou Rui drove his beloved car, heading away from Shanghai.
The configuration of this car was top-notch in 2009. It was not comparable to luxury cars worth millions, but it could beat 98% of its peers on the road.
The only flaw was that the car system was not smart enough. The touch screen was stuck like the Subor. It took a long time to respond after pressing once, and it would freeze if pressed continuously.
Everyone was very excited when they started. Li Wenqian sat in the middle of the back row, with Tong Xin on the left and her mother on the right. She took out her mobile phone and said, "Zhou Rui, does this car have Bluetooth?"
Zhou Rui glanced at the buttons on the steering wheel and said, "Yes, but I haven't connected it."
Li Wenqian leaned forward and fiddled with it for a long time. When Zhou Rui looked at the right rearview mirror, he could just see Li Wenqian's delicate profile.
He sniffed, and Zhou Rui's faint fragrance penetrated into his nose. He reminded, "Hurry up, we're about to get on the highway, it's not safe."
After a while, music sounded in the car, which was pre-stored in Li Wenqian's mobile phone.
Well, it was her own song "Like".
Li Wenqian and Tong Xin hummed in duet from behind the car.
"Resisting the troubles of firewood, rice, oil and salt~"
The pleasant journey began.
Li Huihua seemed not to want to disturb the young people's interest, and did not say much, letting the two girls sway left and right behind.
"Zhou Rui, do you want to eat oranges?"
After a song ended, Tong Xin's voice came from behind, but Zhou Rui could not see her.
Zhou Rui shook his head: "How can I eat while driving?"
"It's okay, I'll peel it for you."
A few minutes later, a white and tender hand touched up from behind and stuffed a slice of orange into Zhou Rui's mouth.
"Are there any seeds? If there are seeds, spit them out and I'll take them."
Zhou Rui shook his head: "No, it's quite sweet."
Song Bin looked back at Tong Xin: "I want to eat oranges too."
An orange was thrown over with a parabola, landed on Song Bin's belly, and then bounced to his feet.
"Peel it yourself."
Song Bin: No, although I didn't expect anything, but isn't this contrast a bit too big?
Tong Xin fed Zhou Rui another one and said, "Why are you looking at me? You're not driving."
Song Bin's fist hardened.
This time there was a seed, and Tong Xin's hand was waiting at Zhou Rui's mouth. Zhou Rui hesitated for a moment and spit it out.
You can't hold it in your mouth all the way, right?
"I won't eat it first, you guys eat it."
Zhou Rui drove and talked about the first day's itinerary.
"Let's drive directly to Yiwu first, stroll around the 'small commodity market' there, go to Hengdian in the afternoon and stay there at night."
Li Wenqian said excitedly, "Will we meet the crew filming in Hengdian?"
"I don't know, maybe."
Yiwu was more than three hours away by car. They took a break at the service area halfway and arrived at noon, a nationally famous small commodity city.
Of course, with the development of the times, this place is no longer just a small commodity. To be precise, it should be a gathering place for light industry, with everything from stockings to electric fans, from jewelry accessories to toys and dolls.
Tong Xin looked at the buildings outside the window and asked curiously, "So which one is the small commodity city?"
Zhou Rui looked at the map and said after confirming again and again, "All of them"
Tong Xin: "Huh?"
"The whole area on your right, the whole area in front, the whole area on the side, and the whole area at the corner are all"
A single area is almost the same as all the shopping malls in the five-star venues combined.
And there are five such areas here.
This scale far exceeded Zhou Rui's expectations. After a while, he said, "I suggest you check it online and go directly to the area with "accessories". It's unrealistic to visit all of them."
As Zhou Rui expected, the first floor of a district taught them a lesson.
It took an hour to visit one floor, and this was just a quick visit.
Zhou Rui and Song Bin were so tired that they just sat outside the "KFC" and waited, while Tong Xin, Li Wenqian, and Li Huihua were having a great time.
The three of them didn't mention watching the filming in Hengdian. It was not as fun as here!
In the end, the originally planned two-hour trip to Yiwu took Li Wenqian and her friends more than four hours.
Song Bin ordered almost everything in KFC, and finally got bored and counted French fries for fun.
In the end, Tong Xin bought a new suitcase directly in the small commodity market, and then filled it with various small accessories, completing the first purchase.
Li Wenqian was even more funny, and also bought a full bag.
Zhou Rui knocked on Li Wenqian's forehead: "Are you also buying goods here?"
Li Wenqian said aggrievedly: "They are all my mother's! I only have one!"
Zhou Rui coughed awkwardly: "Auntie has really good taste."
These small accessories are only a few cents here, compared to the outside, rounded off to the equivalent of free.
Don't be too attractive to women.
Starting from Yiwu again, the driver was changed to Song Bin. Zhou Rui was not tired, but it would be better to let Song Bin get familiar with the car in advance.
The group arrived in Hengdian in the evening. This is a small county with a development level close to Qinghe County. However, with the development of the film and television industry in recent years, it has gradually become a bit prosperous.
I didn't meet any crew or stars. It was just average. I can only say that the trip to Yiwu was exciting enough. It's okay to be disappointed in Hengdian.
The hotel I booked was the best one in the area. Zhou Rui and Song Bin shared a room, Li Wenqian and Li Huihua shared a room, and Tong Xin shared a room alone.
No skiing all night, no conversation all night.
The next morning, the group continued to set off. They will leave Zhejiang Province today and enter Jiang Province, and take a detour to Jingde Town.
In the back seat, two girls were studying the accessories they bought yesterday. Li Wenqian had a carrot hairpin on her head, and Tong Xin had plastic pearl earrings on her earlobes. They were comparing whose was better looking.
"Boss, are you tired? How about I drive?"
Zhou Rui shook his head: "It's just a while, it's okay."
"I'm just worried that you didn't get enough rest last night?"
Zhou Rui slowly turned his head and looked at Song Bin.
You better be careful about what you say and do, I stayed in the room all night.
Right?
Song Bin interpreted his eyes for a long time and scratched his face: "If you're not tired, then why are you staring at me, boss?"
Zhou Rui:
"Can't I look in the rearview mirror?"
Entering the territory of Jiang Province, the highway is obviously narrower, and the development level here is still far behind Zhejiang Province.
Zhou Rui remembered the famous "development around Jiang Province" in his previous life.
Even on some sections, Zhou Rui felt that he was not on the highway, and the fences on both sides were not very regular, with some sections not in place.
After driving for more than an hour, a strange sight appeared in front of him.
A mighty motorbike team.
Not the heavy motorcycles or the pretentious motorbikes, but the most broken and old motorcycles, with woven bags tied to the front, back, left and right, pots and pans, Zhou Rui even saw a rice cooker tied to the back of a motorcycle.
Every rider was dusty, some riding alone, some with their families, and when Zhou Rui approached, they took the initiative to turn to the right to make way.
Zhou Rui overtook all the way, and it felt like there were 40 or 50 motorcycles.
A word popped up in his mind.
"Returning Home Army".
