Li Xiao subconsciously glanced at the top of the phone, and the signal that had been disappearing was finally restored.
It's probably because there are no mountains to block it, or because of some other reason.
Li Xiao opened the screen.
The screensaver interface froze slightly for half a second, and then
【You have new news】
【You have new news】
【You have new news】
...
A string of green Weixin information prompts appear.
???
Li Xiao subconsciously clicked on one of the information prompts and immediately jumped to the Weixin interface.
The information column turns directly into red 99+
He was stunned for a moment when he saw the pop-up message.
【???Are you still there? Please reply if you receive it?!】
His eyes quickly swept over and he pulled directly to the first reply.
【I do!】
The reply time is 1 minute after your last message.
???
Li Xiao looked confused, had he traveled to parallel time and space?
He clearly just...wait, he figured it out quickly.
It’s not that he traveled back to normal time and space, but that his cell phone had no signal just now!!!
Li Xiao slapped his forehead and quickly checked the more than 100 messages Jiang Yingxue had just sent to him.
It was full of concerns and doubts, and Li Xiao did not dare to continue reading slowly.
Quickly type in the chat box
[I was in a mountainous area just now, there was no signal, sorry, sorry.]
When the information port was sent, the green unread sign dimmed within a second and turned into gray read. Within a few seconds.
Jiang Yingxue sent a message
[I hope you’re okay, I’m scared to death! I didn’t get a reply when I sent a message, and when I called, it said I was not in the service area. I was ready to call the police]
[Sorry, sorry, I was at Lingyin Mountain and the signal was disconnected for almost an hour]
【As long as it's okay, I'm really going to be scared to death by you.】
On the other side of the phone, Jiang Yingxue rubbed her red eyes.
In the past hour, she didn't know how she got here.
She also thought that she was the kind of evil star in romance novels who specialized in restraining her partner. Otherwise, how could she have just sent a message to the person she had established a relationship with, and the other party had already messaged her?
Could it be that some meteorite fell from the sky and killed him?
Or did he travel back hundreds of years at the moment he received his confession?
After all, it is not in the service area, not that the other party has shut down.
She was weak and helpless and did not dare to tell others. After all, this matter was too bizarre.
Just when she was about to collapse and prepare to call the police, Li Xiao's profile picture lit up again, and then she sent a message.
See what appears in the dialog box
[I was in a mountainous area just now, there was no signal, sorry, sorry.]
Jiang Yingxue was about to cry because of her own stupidity. She was so stupid. What was she thinking about all day long?
No, I have to delete all the movies on my computer later. Wait, delete half of them, otherwise I won’t be able to watch them.
Should I keep [The Lonely and Brilliant God: Goblin], or [Western World]? Or...
.....
After watching Li Xiao's phone, the expression on his face changed from relaxed to happy.
Fujiwara chuckled and took out a ZIPO lighter from his pocket, and lit it up casually.
The cigarette he rolled himself was lit, and the red cigarette butt flickered on and off the platform on the top of the mountain, like a breathing star.
A long puff of smoke was exhaled by Fujiwara, and the smell of smoke instantly enveloped him.
In the smoke, I looked at Li Xiao who was giggling while replying to the message.
Fujiwara shook his head again. Being young is good. One or two text messages can make you happy so easily.
It seems like you haven’t smiled so happily for a long time, right?
Suddenly, there was a vibration in his pants. Fujiwara put the cigarette in his mouth and took out his cell phone to take a look.
【Laotian】
Fujiwara frowned, wondering why the other party was looking for him?
However, after so many years of friendship, he still pressed the connect button, planning to pretend that the signal was not good and hang up if the other party wanted to borrow money.
After the connection, Lao Tian’s familiar voice came from the other side.
[Takumi, there is a 45- to 50-year-old old man here, the Fuli Cup. It is your favorite mountain track. Are you interested in participating? 】
45-50 year old old man Fufeng Cup?
Fujiwara was stunned for half a second, then shook his head with a wry smile.
[Forget it, I have no time, I can’t find someone to take over, you guys have fun. 】
As he said that, he moved his finger towards the hang up button.
You have to put your phone back into your trouser pocket and hold on to your cup. Are you kidding me? They are all in their seventies and eighties. Can they hold the steering wheel firmly?
[If you really don’t come, that would be a pity. Natsuki applied to be a navigator. Did you expect to see you two working together? Well, I’ll contact you next time. Goodbye. 】
Snap, the red stars swirled, fell to the ground, and then bounced up, turning into countless tiny stars.
The name he thought he had forgotten reappeared in his mind, and his lips trembled a little
[Who are you talking about who signed up to be the navigator? 】
[Natsuki, Motegi Natsuki. Why do you ask? You’re not free. Okay, goodbye. 】
[Wait a minute, I just made a joke to you. I didn’t want to drive this crappy rental!! By the way, when is the competition? Also, Natsuki really wants to participate? 】
[Hahaha, I know the bad behavior of this guy like you. Natsuki has been divorced for several years, but she has been staying in Sakura Country, and only this year has been here in Han Country. His husband Shawen has always been bad to her, and he just got married.
Not long after, they separated, but you didn’t know it.】
【is that so??!!】
[I’m not talking about you, is the championship really that important? 】
[It’s been 12 years, Natsuki has been your navigator for 12 years, is it really no match for a champion? 】
[Do you think Natsuki really likes Chauvin? She just wanted to make you angry. 】
[Come on, I have signed you up a long time ago. Hurry up and come back for me to train.]
[Isn’t there just one championship? It has to be the National Cup? Isn’t the champion of our own competition not the champion? 】
【Come on, I'm waiting for you!】
【good】
[Then, I’ll send you the address soon, so get there early.]
【good】
Takumi hung up the phone and trembled as he tried to take out another cigarette from his pants.
However, thinking about the impact of the nicotine in cigarettes on the brain's reaction speed, the hand that touched the cigarette box immediately retracted.
He shivered and put the phone back into the bag. As soon as he turned around, he met Li Xiao who was standing behind him at some point.
Takumi was stunned for a moment,
"Are you done talking?"
Li Xiao smiled and nodded.
"Yeah, we're done talking, let's go."
"Okay, let's go."
"Uncle!"
Li Xiao suddenly shouted
"Um?"
"What you just said."
"You extend the time to 3 years, but you can't extend it to 5 years."
"You'll find out, oh, it turns out it's just that."
Takumi smiled and nodded.
"Um."
...
I returned to the apartment, turned on the faucet, and took a hot bath.
Li Xiao returned to bed with ease.
He turned on his phone and replied in the chat box
[Yes, I should be going home in the next two days. I haven’t been home for more than a year.]
[Then, please be careful when riding in the car. Also, recently, we may not be able to leave school, and we are all reviewing and preparing for the final exam, so we can only meet again next year!]
【It's okay, it's still a long time.】
【Um.】
.........
ladies and gentlemen:
The plane is scheduled to arrive at Guangzhou Baiyun Airport in 15 minutes. The ground temperature is 16 degrees Celsius.
The plane is descending. Please sit back in your original position, fasten your seat belt, put away the tray table, and adjust the seat back to the normal position.
All personal computers and electronic devices must be turned off.
Please confirm whether your carry-on items have been properly placed. We will dim the cabin lights later.
Thanks!
Get your luggage from the check-in area, and then go to the pet storage area to pick up the frightened little blue.
Ignoring Xiao Lan's chatter, Li Xiao dragged her suitcase out of the hall.
[Due to reading needs, Cantonese has been converted into Mandarin]
"Cousin, this way!"
A tall, thick-set, dark-skinned man waved his hand and shouted.
The man was wearing a black long-sleeved T-shirt, a thin black windbreaker, and a pair of tight pants. He looked very clean.
But the faint fishy smell emanating from his body made the people picking him up quietly stay away from this man.
Li Xiao heard the man's familiar voice and quickly raised his hand in response.
"Cousin."
The man is Li Xiao’s second uncle’s son, Liang Yansheng.
Li Xiao patted his cousin on the shoulder
"I've already told my second uncle that I can just go back by myself, and I'd like you to go there as well."
Liang Yansheng waved his hand
"Don't I have a car here? It's not far. Can't I just stop by and give my cousin a ride?"
As he spoke, he deliberately pretended to hesitate and said
"Oh oh oh, I understand. Doesn't my cousin think my van is not high-end enough?"
Li Xiao secretly sighed, there is no way to get there, Baiyun Airport is on the outskirts of Yangcheng, and his cousin's delivery places are all in the urban area of Yangcheng.
However, the other party said they were on their way, so it was hard for him to tell the truth. Seeing his funny look, he quickly pushed his shoulder.
"Okay, okay, let's go."
The two quickly got into Liang Yansheng's van with their things, and the fishy smell in the van became even stronger.
After all, this is a truck.
The two rows of seats at the back have long been removed, so of course Li Xiao can only sit in the front.
As soon as Liang Yansheng got in the car, he opened all the windows and touched his head in embarrassment.
"Cousin, please be patient for now. After a while, turn it on and ventilate it, and the smell will no longer be so strong."
"What are you talking about? It's tasteless."
In fact, how could it be tasteless, but my cousin came so far to pick me up, and he had to grit his teeth even if there were nails on the stool.
Moreover, although there was a fishy smell, it was not very strong. He could even faintly smell the air freshener.
I guess he not only washed the car but also sprayed it with freshener before picking him up.
However, anyone with some life experience knows that some odors remain for a long time and are not easy to remove at all.
The car started slowly and drove out of the airport. After the air circulated, the fishy smell subsided.
"By the way, how is your family's business lately?"
"Recently? That's it. It's not bad. It's just that a lot of stores have closed down recently. Many of them have closed down and still owe us money for goods. Oh, it's difficult to deal with."
"Can't you get married now?"
"Of course the new store will be settled on cash, but if we cooperate for a long time, there will definitely be a billing period. Well, just the day before yesterday, a restaurant that we have cooperated with since my father also collapsed."
"Changhui Hotel?"
Li Xiao hesitated and asked. He knew a lot about his second uncle's affairs.
Because, before I went to Hangzhou to study, I often went to my second uncle’s place to play during winter and summer vacations.
So I have been influenced by my ears and my eyes, and I really know a lot of things.
"Yes, yes, that's the one. I didn't expect my cousin to still remember it."
"Can you remember? My second uncle always delivers the goods last and then takes you and me to have morning tea."
Li Xiao felt a little nostalgic in his eyes. Both his second uncle and his third uncle were actually engaged in fishing, but one was mainly fishing and the other was mainly selling.
In the past, when I came over to play with my second uncle during the summer vacation, I would help out. Then after delivering all the goods, if he was not busy, my second uncle would take him and his cousin to have morning tea.
At that time, material conditions were not that rich, and even if my second uncle could get a preferential price there, he would not be willing to pay more.
Occasionally when I eat meat with two children, the three of us usually order 2 cages of steamed buns and then 2 cages of dim sum.
There isn't a lot of food, but with one adult and two small ones, three people can have a great time eating.
Li Xiao still remembers that when drinking morning tea at that time, he was still pushing the cart and shouting the names of snacks.
However, this form has long since disappeared with the rapid increase in labor costs.
Nowadays, many morning teas are even made to order, because the number of people drinking morning tea is already far less than before.
People's life pace is too fast. Every 996 migrant worker can only stop the rush as a family on weekends or holidays, drink tea and chat.
"There is no other way. The labor is high, the rent is high, the cost is high, and the competition is huge."
"However, [Changhui Hotel] should actually make money, but the previous boss retired and was replaced by his son. His son doesn't care about tens of thousands of dollars a month."
"I heard that the new owner closed [Changhui Hotel] directly because the developer was interested in the land. But fortunately, the payment was settled for us."
The two chatted while driving towards the second uncle's house.
In fact, Li Xiao could have gone home directly.
But since he thought that it was still a long time before the Chinese New Year, it seemed boring to go home for too long, so he started his live broadcasting career.
The second uncle and the third uncle were also running online stores, so he wanted to help them promote it.
After all, if the wealth does not go to outsiders, it is not helping anyone. It is reasonable for the nephew to help his uncle to promote it.
Besides, the relationship between the three families has always been very good, so we need to help even more.
Yangjiang is more than two hours away from Baiyun Airport, and the two of them chatted all the way.
It can be said that there is nothing to talk about.
In fact, my second uncle's business is pretty good. The only bad thing is that there are too many bad debts, and many stores close down after only a few months of operation.
It would be nice if the store owners could give some money, but many of them would be too shameless to pay, and the second uncle couldn't help spending a few thousand dollars with him all the time.
This is why Li Xiao often hears her mother's worries about her two uncles' families on the phone recently.
This is the reason why Li Xiao did not go home directly, but went to his uncle first.
The second uncle's home is very close to the third uncle's home. Without him, they both live in the village, so of course they are close.
As the car drove into the village, Li Xiao felt a little emotional when he saw the sights that were both familiar and unfamiliar.
He hasn't been here for more than 5 years. To be precise, except for visiting relatives during the New Year, he hasn't been here permanently in 5 years.
Pulling the suitcase and walking into the house, there was no one in the house. It was empty. Li Xiao took out his mobile phone and checked the time.
At this time, if there are no accidents, the second uncle and the second aunt are both busy.
Although the second uncle's family is mainly engaged in sales, he often goes out to sea to fish for himself.
After all, in my mother's small village called Donglai Village, almost every household makes a living from fishing. As long as they can make money, they are not willing to give up their fishing skills.
"Cousin, drink, do you want something to eat?" Liang Yansheng asked while handing over a bottle of Feizhai Happy Water.
Although it's only early 11 o'clock, it's okay to eat early if you're hungry.
Li Xiao received the Fat House Happy Water. Although he was not a Fat House, it would be great if he could be happy. Why should he care about his career?
He shook his head and said
"We had airplane food on the plane. By the way, will my second uncle and the others come back for lunch?"
Liang Yansheng shook his head
"Probably not replying." After saying that, he yawned.
Li Xiao was stunned for a moment, but immediately realized that although his cousin did not go to sea, he usually had to make two trips.
The first bus departs at 3-4 am and reaches the restaurant in Yangcheng at 6-7 am. After delivering the bus, it will arrive at around 8 am.
The other trip is to leave at around 1pm and restock the restaurants in Yangcheng before 5pm, but relatively speaking, the work in the afternoon is much easier.
Li Xiao estimated that his cousin went to deliver the goods early today. After all, he had to go to Baiyun Airport in the suburbs and wash the car, which would definitely take time.
Seeing the obvious dark circles on his cousin's face, he quickly said
"I'll just take care of myself. Aren't you going to make deliveries in the afternoon? Go and have a rest. I'll just go for a walk in the town."
"How about that?" Liang Yansheng refused, but immediately yawned again.
Li Xiao quickly pushed his cousin, who was much stronger than him, towards his own room.
"Give me a good rest. There are thousands of roads, and safety is the first priority. If you don't get a good rest, do you think it's your fault alone?"
"If you don't have enough energy to drive and a small scratch occurs, it will be a trivial matter that affects delivery."
"If something goes wrong, what will you do? What will your second uncle and your second mother do?"
"Hurry up and get me some sleep. I've been here every year since college, so I'm not familiar with this place."
"No, cousin, things have changed a lot here in the past few years!"
"Hey, this is not good, the change is not big, I still don't want to wander around. Okay, don't worry about me, anyway, I have two mobile phones with me, I can't lose them, and you don't have to wait for me to eat at night, I'll finish my meal
Come back again.”
Liang Yansheng wanted to say something else, but the door was already closed.
