Chapter 16 Old Driver Take Me
In the air, there is still the smell of residual smoke from fireworks, some choking, but it seems that this is the flavor of the New Year should have, which is commonly known as the flavor of the year.
Especially for Zhou Ze at this time, life seems to be a little more beautiful.
It's not a love affair with a mountain and a sea, and it's not an exaggeration to talk about how the mountains and the sky and the earth are united.
Simply equivalent to a usually basically no pocket money children walking on the road to pick up a ten dollars and there is no passing by the police uncle instead of a kiosk close to the side.
After a trip to hell and a change of body, there are still many discovered and undiscovered troubles that need to be solved, and one's character has also changed quite a bit without realizing it.
Thinking back to my last life, I walked out of the orphanage, full of thoughts of relying on my own hands and ability to climb up the ladder step by step, in fact, in detail, at that time, the reason why I ignored the then Dr. Lin, may not be five years ago, in the end, Dr. Lin is how dumb and ugly, the young girl at that time, should also be pregnant, or else will not be the photo individually cropped out and put in their own wallet.
Unfortunately, at that time, I didn't have the energy or the heart to take a look at the scenery on the road, the obsession is too heavy, a bitter and hateful and pretend that I am hanging I hanging like a stream of clear water.
Unlike now, people died once, and then came back, on the contrary, there is a kind of "unofficial body light" of freedom and frustration.
But no matter what.
The feeling of being secretly in love, and even the feeling of "love even after death".
It's not bad at all.
After the call, Dr. Lin came down again, he came down a bit hurriedly, took his bag from Zhou Ze's hands, smiled, did not say thank you, with their current relationship, say "thank you", more inappropriate than say "sorry".
Waving his hand.
Zhou Ze left his back.
Go back to bed.
Then wait for tomorrow, tomorrow will be better.
Dr. Lin felt that her husband's mood seemed to have changed a little, like a sense of relief.
Perhaps it was indeed a good thing for both parties to think about it.
Rather than continue to be entangled in a twisted way, it would be better to part ways and face life anew.
It can only be said that the world is unpredictable, Dr. Lin could not have imagined that in her husband's body, there is another soul living.
It was the man that she had fallen in love with when she was a trainee.
Zhou Ze re-ordered a car, and then squatted in front of the cell smoking a cigarette, the phone screen has been displayed in the search of the message, Zhou Ze some regret, why let that owner go, he should let him wait, so that he can then take his car back to the bookstore.
Now it's good.
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 got a little bored and stood up straight, stretching his back.
Although he is not very afraid of the cold, but just like this walk back, but also quite exhausting.
Coincidentally at this moment, a black sedan drove over from the road in front of Zhou Ze, and he lowered his speed as he passed by Zhou Ze.
"Going?" The driver poked his head out of the window, big round face, middle-aged, bearded, wearing a black cotton coat.
"Go." Zhou Ze had no other choice.
"Get in the car, not charging you more." The driver smiled.
Zhou Ze got into the car, said the location of the bookstore, negotiated the price, and the driver started the car again.
The car, it should be new, the seat cushions still smelled of plastic and leather, and the inside was clean.
Generally speaking, very few people would be willing to take a new car out to carry passengers in a sports car.
"That place is remote." The driver took the initiative to hand Zhou Ze a cigarette, and Zhou Ze took it.
"Uh-huh."
"Live there?"
"Shop there."
"Oh, that business is not good, right?" That commercial center had long been dead through and through, and there wasn't much popularity left, as many people were well aware.
"You're not a local?" Zhou Ze opened his mouth and asked.
The Tongcheng local dialect was different from other local dialects, it was almost two styles of speech from Mandarin, and it was easy to hear.
"My family is from Rongcheng, I work here." The driver lit a cigarette, "Smoke, don't be polite."
Zhou Ze also lit a cigarette, took a drag, frowned slightly, this cigarette flavor, light to some uncharacteristic.
"New Year's Eve also do not go back?"
"Wife and child at home, no problem, not going back, thinking of earning some more money." The driver put his hand out the window and shook out the ashes, "I have four kids."
"Very impressive." Zhou Ze marveled.
"It's hard too." The driver smashed his mouth, "My mother-in-law's first child was a son, and the second child was also a boy, so I was thinking of having a daughter, then the third child was a boy again, well, the fourth child, it's finally a daughter, and I'm satisfied."
"It can be." Zhou Ze echoed, took another drag on his cigarette, then threw it out the window, the smoke was so light that it looked like he was smoking a paper roll.
"I'm not an old thinker, and I don't have a patriarchal meaning, I just like children, and I want to have a few more children, haha." Talking about his own children, the driver's words are also more up.
"The youngest's fine has not yet been paid, and so on to school, and then go to pay the money to do the account, right, what kind of store you are opening?"
"Bookstore."
"How's business?" The driver said.
"Not good."
"Also, you can buy books online these days, with coupons."
On the road in front, there was a car accident, there are traffic police set up a roadblock there, the original four lanes can now only take a single lane, but the good thing is that there are not many cars on the road late at night on New Year's Eve, so it shouldn't be delayed for much longer.
"The New Year's car encountered, is also enough bad luck." The driver exhaled a mouthful of smoke rings, he spoke in a tone very much like a leader, with a bit of criticism.
Zhou Ze leaned back and changed his body to a more comfortable sitting position and asked:
"You bought this car new?"
"Well, my son gave it to me."
Zhou Ze smiled, "How old are you, and how old is your son?"
"Hehehe." The driver's eyes narrowed, "The son is competitive, these days, there is a will not be high, there are hands and feet and brains, don't commit all the back words in life, where can you suffer from poverty."
"Is this reasoning." Zhou Ze nodded in agreement.
"Dripping ...... dripping ......"
Behind a car seems to be in a hurry to rush home, the horn sound is very frequent, urging the front of the car sharp point quickly past.
"Rush rush rush, rush to hell na."
Driver temperament also some people crazy meaning, will body again out of the car to the car behind the curse.
But the several cars behind him honked their horns more frequently, as if they were deliberately demonstrating.
"Hey!"
The driver made a gesture to push open the door of the car, ready to get out of the car to have a good theory.
Just at this time, the front traffic police to clear the traffic gesture this side of the car to pass quickly, the driver only snappily sat back, started the car and drove past.
"This day business is not good oh." The driver began to mourn again, "I should have known better than to go home to see my wife and children."
"Not bad." Zhou Ze was noncommittal, he saw that the noodle shop next door was doing okay, most of the competitors had taken a break for New Year's, even if the demand was a little smaller during this period of time for New Year's, it was still more business than before.
Especially just now, Zhou Ze had been calling a cab for so long and no one had taken the order.
"Hey, not doing well yo." The driver still shook his head, "I do not dare to rest, home children's tuition, every month have to play money home, usually work during the day, the night out to drive half the night, this day, live quite uninteresting, even this cigarette, can not afford to smoke a packet of good point."
This cigarette ...... of yours seems to be fake.
Zhou Ze took out his own cigarettes, drew out one, playing with it in his hand.
"But also good, now the network is also convenient, at night when I return home before going to bed with my wife and children to open a video, it is also quite good to see them." The driver's face revealed a soothing color.
Zhou Ze slightly closed his eyes, he was unable to sleep, but at this time, was not very eager to talk and chatter.
But even without Zhou Ze's return and reaction, the driver continued to speak his words, in the New Year, he was alone in a foreign land, of course he was lonely.
From the child's name, to the child's school, to his parents, to the customs of his village, the driver gave a chatter.
In the end, Zhou Ze just leaned his forehead on the car window and urged, "Master, drive faster."
This driver drove the car too slowly, probably just thirty mph.
One must know that this was an elevated road.
Zhou Ze even felt that the other party was not too lonely alone, so he deliberately drove slower to find someone to talk to, but Zhou Ze had no interest in being a big sister in the know.
"Hehehe, new car, not too familiar with it yet, don't dare to drive too fast." The driver touched the steering wheel in a somewhat precious manner, "This car isn't worth much, it's even cheap, but it's also my eldest son's intention, I have to cherish and treasure it.
Strive to use this car to pull a few years of business, when my eldest son talked about the object, give him a suite out, first paste a is a one, I also do not want to take the big with the small, which is unfair to the big, after all, decided to give birth to, is me as a father, as long as I can still work, can still go to work, have to grit my teeth and carry on. We're not irresponsible people, and we won't do the thing of caring for the birth and not caring for the upbringing."
Zhou Ze frowned slightly.
He felt a little annoyed.
Then he lit one of his own cigarettes and took a drag.
"Master, really, please hurry up again." Zhou Ze missed his freezer, and also regretted that he had known that it would be better to let Dr. Lin drive him back.
"Don't be in a hurry young man, New Year's Eve, we are also destiny is not, no need to rush, I understand, I understand, I'm an old driver ......."
Zhou Ze flicked the cigarette ash.
He accidentally didn't flick it out of the window.
A handful of ashes fell on the inside of the car door.
Immediately after.
The inside of the car door was burned by a hole in the ash.
A hole the size of a thumb.
The cool wind from outside blew in through the hole.
