After arriving at the airport, the old man was ready to get off the bus. He seemed to have forgotten the money making job he mentioned. Zhao Mai didn't ask.
Although things at home make him flustered, he should be polite and do his best. The old man's luggage was a big box, a kind of old cowhide box. The brown surface was polished and polished, and hung with a copper lock. It didn't look ordinary. But the biggest problem with this thing is that it has no wheels. It's very troublesome to move it into the trunk, especially when it's unloaded.
Zhao Mai took two steps to push a luggage cart from the airport. He put the 40 Jin suitcase away and taught the old man how to use it. He also reminded the old man to check his luggage and not to miss the check-in.
"I've been on a plane many times, and I know all that." The old man said with a smile, "you still have to earn money. Don't waste your time with me. Good boy, get busy. "
In fact, there is nothing to be busy with. Just turn on your mobile phone and adjust your status to "waiting for passengers". The airport is so far away from the city. If you go back empty, you will lose a lot. Fortunately, the flow of people here is good. You can always pick up passengers as long as you wait a little longer.
The sound of mobile phone prompt rang, and the old man's taxi money and ten yuan reward went to his account together. Zhao Mai is ready to take advantage of this time to log in mobile banking, so that he can call home all the money in his account, but unexpectedly, his mobile phone, which has never broken down, suddenly goes black.
Just in front of the black screen, he saw a taxi list! I can't get it now
It was the slowest boot up ever, and it took ten minutes to get back to the desktop. Zhao Mai checked, there is nothing unusual about the mobile phone, it seems that there is no rogue software installed, so he continued the unfinished work. There are still more than 10000 yuan in the bank account, leaving the change for dinner, paying the rent, buying gasoline, and other things back home.
Maybe I should stop renting and go home to live, which can save some money, but it will expose my current state of unemployment. Mom and dad are very traditional people. They will never think that writing novels online and driving taxis are serious careers, especially for his 20-year-old son. Although the parents said justly that they would not care about themselves after the age of 18, to tell you the truth, they never reduced their concern at all.
Zhao Mai was born as an only child. When he was a child, his father was often not around. How many times a year can he meet with people who travel in the mountains with the scientific research team? His mother had to take care of his family's food and drink. For a long time, Zhao Mai lived with his grandparents, so he also experienced the life of "little emperor". When it was called Zhao Yimai at the beginning, he was really a big man in the family. "Clothes to open mouth, food to reach out", he will only be cultivated.
Later, because of the job transfer, my father stayed in the office more and stopped running around. At this time, he really started his education again. Zhao Mai used to hate being controlled. He often lost his temper. His father was not merciful, and the soles of his shoes and brooms were not seldom used. The relationship between them was tense for a time.
Later, once he heard his parents quarrel. His mother blamed his father for being too cruel to his children and it was wrong to beat them. Zhao Mai wants to hear how his father, who has always been strong, continues to play tricks on him this time, and then goes out to ridicule him. Unexpectedly, he says: "I was not around when he was young, and I miss him more than any of you. But it's just because I love him that I can't make him a waste. I have no other requirements. I just hope he can be a responsible person. At least he should be responsible for himself. Is self-reliance the minimum standard? You dote on him too much, everything follows him, and then when he comes to the society, is he drowned by the oncoming waves? At first I hit him, he didn't even know how to howl and laugh with a fat face. Now at least I know shame. I make fewer and fewer mistakes. How many years can I beat him? He will soon be taller and stronger than me, and his character will be mature. I have to change his temperament before that, so as not to destroy it in your hands! "
Zhao Mai lay on the door and could not fully understand these words at that time, but he finally remembered them. He began not to beat his father's own reasons, it gradually became a "good boy.". Although the exam results are not good, can only go to a second rate high school, but later work hard, finally admitted to a first-class university.
This is not because of the doctor's father's relationship. It's the result of my own efforts. It really makes my family happy for a long time. A small car was a very rare gift at that time, which also made him firm in his determination to be self reliant and self-confident among his peers. Once you graduate, you dare to fire your boss, which has a lot to do with this kind of character.
If you want to be independent and free, you have to take a lot more risks than ordinary people. In the group, you can be a lamb with your head down. If you want to make a living, you must have the spirit of a tiger or a bear. Zhao Mai knows that he can't be a complete lone tiger bear. His biggest expectation is to become a bloody wolf. But now the wolf still needs to take care of the wolves, especially the aging wolf.
He never smokes, but now he really wants to have one. Maybe it can relieve his mood in the smoke. Park the car in the temporary parking area and pick out the smoke from the glove box that once fell on the car by a passenger. Just press the cigarette lighter down, the mobile phone rings.
It's not seven in the morning. It's mom who called. Zhao Mai was stunned for a moment. He took a deep breath and stabilized his mind. Then he pressed the connect button."How are you, son? What's going on when I see an entry? " Mother's voice is still gentle, but Zhao Mai can still hear a little tired.
"Ah, I got a bonus recently. I don't know what gift I'll buy for you, so I'll call back all of them. After all, cash is more affordable, hehe." Zhao Mai pretended to be relaxed, trying to squeeze out the voice line of Hippie smile. "I'm a man now. If I can earn money and support my family, let me be filial."
The other end of the phone was silent for a while, only breathing with shaking came. Zhao Mai's brain was completely wooden, and he didn't know how to speak. He wanted to say a few words to comfort his mother, but his parents had their own stubbornness, and their concealment was also a kind of kindness. And goodwill should never be destroyed.
"Take care of yourself, and we'll be at ease. Your father is a stubborn old man. If you can't speak well, you can understand him. Remember we all care about you. If you're busy, you can be busy. There's nothing at home, and we have younger brothers and sisters by our side. You don't have to worry. "
Mom didn't say anything in the end and put the pressure on her shoulders. Zhao Mai also decided to do so, which is the characteristic of their family. After a few greetings, Zhao Mai hung up. The warm time is over, now it's time to find a way.
As my mother said, my father is a very strong and stubborn person, but also with a trace of old scholar temper. He is always on the matter, very serious, in other words, not very good at getting along with others. Zhao Mai had never seen any friends in his family since he was young, and it was rare for his father to visit or socialize. Even if there are some friends he doesn't know, Dad won't ask for help.
Mom is a warm-hearted and kind-hearted woman, but she doesn't know any rich people, and it's not likely that she wants to borrow money. Think about their own situation is not good, just graduated from the Department of Mathematics for more than a year, less than nine months to work, the community does not know a few people. If you want to say that the only one who has enough spare money to lend himself is Wang Tianhua, a friend in the same dormitory, whose nickname is "Prince's Highness".
If there is only one word to sum up his words, it is idleness. He is a master who does everything but play. It's a pity that he has an indescribable ugly face. Otherwise, with the help of being young, rich and generous, he would not be able to get the reputation of being affectionate.
Zhao Mai knows his roommate very well. He seems to be laughing on the surface, but in fact he is definitely a hypocritical person. For strangers have unparalleled vigilance, specialized harassment and their close people. I don't know which one of his muscles is broken. I firmly believe that Zhao Mai is a good brother I can trust. After I get to know each other, I really become a good brother who has nothing to talk about. After graduation, the two kept in frequent contact.
The phone was dialed and soon connected. His royal highness would never get up so early. The only possibility is that he finished an all night long. Before Zhao Mai could speak, a heavy and hoarse voice came from the other side:
"old man, are you going to have a party this Saturday? How about I take a new girl over and run the group together? "
"Sorry, there's something at home. I'm afraid I can't get together this week. You also help me tell my friends in the group
"Hum, I'm not your microphone His royal highness suddenly lowered his voice, frowned at the microphone and said, "this time, my sister is very beautiful. If I don't try out her true feelings, I can't do it."
"Anyone who is very beautiful and pursues you must have never passed the will test or have high self deception skills. You'd better be careful. And running group is a game, not a lie detector, what can you see? Are you still pointing to this blind date? "
"That's what I like to play, especially your fantasy adventure group. If you can't even play with me, can I expect her to live with me? Forget it. I'll get some sleep. When can open a group, must tell me, I also early fly back
"By the way, if I borrow money from you, how much interest do you give me?"
"You don't even ask if I can lend it to you?" Wang Tianhua's sniffle came from the receiver, and then there was a few seconds of silence. I can make decisions in terms of thousands of words, but I will not use any more. My mother has the final say. But we can do business together. It's much more flexible as an investment. If you write a project, it doesn't matter what the content is. It doesn't matter whether you earn or lose. As long as there is such a procedure. My mother always wanted me to come out and work, and kept pushing me. If you can cover for me for a few years, it can be done
"Deceiving your majesty? Let me weigh it up... " Thinking about the aunt who was described as "ferocious and powerful" by his son, but was kind to him every time, Zhao Mai always felt uneasy to lie to her.
"Old man, what I said just now is not to tease you. When you are in trouble, just say a few words. I'm always better than you
"OK, I'm more relieved to have you at the bottom.". Two people familiar to have been unable to say thank you, pulled a few words to hang up the phone.
Although Wang Tianhua's family is rich, it's not because of the strong wind. Moreover, using his brother's money and his mother's money are two different things, so Zhao Mai still tries to find a way on himself after he hangs up the phone. Contact the students and friends in the hospital, and find out the way of the relationship first, so that the money can be spent in the right place. If there is a shortage in the end, he will not let go of the "rich second generation". But if the money for his father's treatment does not include his own efforts, he will not feel at ease.I made several phone calls in a hurry, and two hours passed unconsciously. After he figured out the general idea, he realized that he had never opened the car rental software, so he had no one to grab.
Finger fast point twice, less than two seconds, the prompt sound sounded, conveniently received, this next time back to the city to make money. Zhao Mai drove to exit 4 in a hurry, but the man who got on the bus was still the old man.
The heavy trunk in his hand was gone, and he was carrying only a silver white hard shell metal briefcase. It's the kind of box that is very common in movies. It's tied to the wrist of the unfortunate bodyguard with handcuffs. It's either filled with precious stones or bombs. As soon as Zhao Mai's brain turned to this direction, his face was full of embarrassment. With a wry smile, he said to the old man, "it seems that you are not predestined with the plane, but you are predestined with me."
The old man squinted at Zhao Mai, and the corner of his mouth was slightly upturned, with a smile: "I didn't expect it to be you. It seems that you can't escape and have to give me a ride. The old people will not treat you badly even if you say that you are predestined. "
"Where's your big box?" Zhao Mai thought about it and asked. "If you check in your luggage on the plane, you will have to get on the plane. There's no reason why you can't leave without boxes."
"Smelly boy, I think too much. I just put things here. I'm not a bad person. I have ten hours to go before the next flight. The hotel at the airport can make do, but the food is too bad, so I still have to go to the city. You're a steady driver. Why don't you give me a ride and drive me back here? I'll wait for you all the time to make money. "
Zhao Mai Chang sighed and nodded. Some of the thrilling scenes that pop up in my mind can really be realized. I think too much about them. Isn't it that I scare myself? He put down the handbrake, put on the gear and said: "then you sit well. Now you can go back and have breakfast. You can speak where you want to go."
"Anywhere?" The old man gave an enigmatic smile, picked up his mobile phone and rowed a few times, then said to Zhao Mai, "then follow the navigation."
