Chapter 1

A yellow and blue taxi stopped at the intersection of Rihua West Lane.Without looking back, the driver said, "Here we are."

"Master, we are going to the daily chemical factory area."

The driver glanced at the two young men, a man and a woman, in the back seat from the inside mirror, and said softly in dialect: "When you get to the daily chemical factory complex, just get off here. Look at this small broken road that is two fingers wide. Can you get in there?" go."

Jiang Yu glanced at the alley that he had to go home.From going to college to working after graduation, he has not been back here for six or seven years.The alley was winding and narrow, the entrance was lined with two rows of welcome garbage cans, and the low and old buildings on both sides of the road were more dilapidated than he remembered.It's not that he can't get in a taxi, but seeing the driver's displeasure, he didn't force it.

"how much is it?"

"40." The driver pointed to the payment code on the back of the seat, "You can also scan the code."

Seeing that Jiang Yu didn't move for a while, Zhao Lan took out her mobile phone.

Jiang Yu stopped her, and calmly said to the driver: "Master, please issue an invoice."

"No, the printer is broken." The driver seemed impatient to lie.

Jiang Yu didn't speak or move, but he didn't move away from Zhao Lan's hand.The girl frowned and looked at him puzzled.

After half a minute, the driver didn't know what the two young men were doing behind him, so he turned his head and said impatiently, "Give me the money and get out of the car, why are you standing there?"

Jiang Yu glanced over the driver's greasy face, glanced at the badge in front of him, and saw that the person and the photo matched, he spoke slowly, even with a smile: "Why not, I'll make a complaint call first. "As soon as the words fell, the phone beeped out.

The driver was shocked immediately, and hurriedly tried to press the phone in the customer's hand: "What do you want to do, brat?"

"I'm curious about how much your taxi company fines drivers who don't use the meter or issue a ticket to kill customers." While speaking, he raised his arm slightly to avoid the driver's hand trying to stop him.

The call was turned on, and it was connected over there. The sweet voice of the customer service lady said: "Hello, this is Nanquan Taxi Co., Ltd., how can I help you?"

"I want to complain."

"Fuck you, fuck me..."

"What is your complaint?"

"You just heard, your driver is abusing customers."

"What is the driver's job number, please?"

The driver was already out of breath and wanted to do something at the sight.Jiang Yu's expression remained unchanged, but he didn't intend to give up at all.

Zhao Lan was very speechless, and wanted to persuade her to let it go, and it only cost a few dozen yuan, so it's not a big deal.

At this time, the car window on Jiang Yu's side suddenly rang "bang bang bang", and only a blurred man's face could be seen through the window glass.

With just a sideways glance, Jiang Yu's words and actions stopped as if he had pressed the pause button.At that moment, all his expressions were withdrawn along with his emotions, and his whole person suddenly became dull.

Zhao Lan was wondering what happened to him.The driver had a quick eye, saw this opportunity, poked the screen of his mobile phone, and hung up the phone.

"Give it 20, hurry down. It's so fucking unlucky, treat us people as human beings, and file a fucking lawsuit every now and then..."

The driver was still cursing, when suddenly a hand with bruised veins came in through the gap in the driver's window, with a ten-yuan note between his fingers.Along with that hand, there was a forearm covered in tattoos.

The hand put the ten yuan fare in front of the driver's platform and retracted it.

The driver, who had been yelling and yelling just to blackmail people, didn't say a word.

Then the door of the back seat was pulled open from the outside, and the magnetic voice of a middle-aged man said, "Get out of the car."

Jiang Yu didn't say anything, and stretched out his feet obediently.

"Is there a lot of luggage?"

"not much."

The man turned forward and said politely: "Master, please open the trunk."

He was wearing a loose cotton linen shirt and shorts. The sleeves of the shirt were rolled up, revealing two colorful arms.With a pair of flip-flops on her feet, Zhao Lan’s huge pink suitcase was carried on her right shoulder, and Jiang Yu’s travel bag was carried in her left hand. She walked loosely in the alley, her slippers hitting the ground, making a “click-click” noise. sound.

Jiang Yu followed. When standing side by side, he was still a bit taller than the man.

"I'll take the travel bag myself."

"fine."

"The suitcase has wheels, put it down and I'll drag it."

"The floor is dirty."

The man stopped Jiang Yu back with a few words, and continued to lead the way.

Zhao Lan is holding a black umbrella.Just now the man gave her shade, saying that there is no sunshade at home, so let her use it.

It was the hottest time of summer, and the sun was especially hot in the afternoon. There were no trees on the roadside, but the noise of cicadas could be heard one after another.The three of them walked forward against the scorching sun like this, and there seemed to be a strange atmosphere between them.Zhao Lan was an outsider, but the two men who were supposed to be very close didn't speak any more.

After walking past the pile of domestic garbage at the entrance, Zhao Lan still held her nose.Her five-centimeter single-heeled sandals stepped on the potholed road, and there was always a feeling that she would fall at any time.As soon as she stretched out her hand to ask Jiang Yu to help her, she saw the man's eyes staring straight ahead, and the foothold of his gaze was the back of the man's head.

The man's hair was not trimmed in time, some were long, and some were hanging down carelessly.Zhao Lan also found that he was wearing a black earring in the middle of his right ear, which made people a little surprised.

"Oh……"

The man turned around: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, it's okay, I stepped into the pit."

"This road is not easy," the man cast a reproachful glance at Jiang Yu next to him, "help me."

Grabbing Jiang Yu's hand, Zhao Lan took the initiative to speak up, "Uncle...uncle, how far is it?"

"The turn ahead is coming soon." The man's tone was a little apologetic, "The alley is narrow, it's not easy for taxis to turn around, and the driver doesn't want to come in."

"I said if it's far away, you can put the box down, it's plastic, it'll be clean once it's dirty."

"It's not heavy, it's okay."

The man was sweating, and the sweat on his vest stuck to his flesh, exposing the outline of an old man with suspenders inside.

"Uncle...uncle, do you know the driver just now?"

"do not know."

"Then how do you know how much to give?"

"It's ten yuan from the bus station to the intersection. It's twelve yuan to the community."

Jiang Yu said helplessly: "These taxi drivers in Hongcheng are starting to cheat even the locals now. It's useless to speak dialects."

The man glanced at him and explained, "He saw you with your girlfriend."

"uncle……"

The man interrupted her: "My name is Qi Nuliang. It's awkward to call you Uncle, you can call Brother Qi, you can call me by your name, it doesn't matter that much."

Zhao Lan smiled embarrassedly: "The main reason is that you are too young, and you don't look like an elder."

Those flower arms and earrings have removed men from the ranks of "elders" that everyone is used to.Coupled with his thin figure and a pair of black and white eyes, this kind of man looks young. No matter how old he is, the youthful feeling on his body seems to never fade away.

When Zhao Lan saw him for the first time, he also felt that those eyes were very magical.It's similar to the clear and flawless young man's, but it's a little different. His eyes are very deep, like the stones by the river that have been repeatedly washed and washed by the water, revealing a kind of cleanliness that has been polished over the years.

Hearing this, the man bent his eyes and smiled. The fine lines around his eyes showed that he was not of the same age as them.

"You don't have to treat me as an elder."

"Jiang Yu told me that you are his uncle."

The man glanced at Jiang Yu again, then turned his head and said to Zhao Lan: "Don't listen to him, it's just a title, you can call it whatever you like." Then he murmured, "He didn't stop calling Brother, originally It's not about the generation of relatives."

Zhao Lan felt that Jiang Yu's fingers holding her arm tightened a bit.

She agreed, "Then I'll call you Brother Qi."

The alley finally came to the end, turned a corner, the road opened up a bit, but it was still full of potholes, there were many three-wheeled motorcycles parked on both sides, and there were various small shops on both sides.There are people in the small shop, standing eating melon seeds, sitting and playing poker, all neighbors who don't look up and look down.

Someone greeted: "Ah Liang, pick me up?"

The man said "hmm" twice.

"This handsome man and beautiful woman, who will pick it up?"

Before Qi Nuliang could answer, the sharp-eyed person had already spotted it, and exclaimed, "This handsome boy is your Jiang Yu, right?"

Jiang Yu showed a warm smile: "Hello, Aunt Chen."

"Yeah, it's really Xiao Yu, how many years has it been since you haven't come back?"

Others also chimed in: "You are so tall and handsome, you can hardly recognize anyone."

"Yeah, in my impression, this kid is still a dirty and thin monkey."

"This is my girlfriend next to me? It's so beautiful."

Jiang Yu replied generously: "Well, fiancee. I'm getting married soon, so take me back to my hometown to have a look."

"I'm getting married soon, where is the girl from?"

"When are you going to have a wedding?"

"It's coming soon, when we arrive, I'll send out wedding candies to everyone."

He happily agreed, as if the happiness could no longer be contained and was about to overflow from his face.

Qi Nuliang, who was walking in front, showed no expression at all.

And under the black umbrella, out of sight of everyone, Zhao Lan rolled his eyes greatly.
