Something happened, the update is late, please forgive me.
******************************
"Is it really impossible to repair it?" Ling Xiao asked the driver again.
"If it can be repaired, who would want to stay in this damn place..." The driver also looked unlucky.
Originally he wanted to take on a private job to supplement the family income, but unexpectedly he encountered something like this. It really made him feel a little annoyed, but he didn't have much temper. After all, he took the initiative to do this job, and
I am still driving a black car, which is really depressing.
"How far is it now?" Ye Kai asked him.
There are snowflakes floating in the sky in front of me. Although it has just started snowing here, looking at the bright clouds in the sky, there should be a continuous and large-scale snowfall, and the road is already completely white.
After the car broke down, the warm air naturally disappeared, and it became extremely cold. Ye Kai and Ling Xiao also ran down to check on the car and the road conditions, and felt that the outside might not be as cold as the inside of the car.
"We've probably driven more than half way, and now we're less than 20 kilometers away from Dragon City." The driver said gloomily. He took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and lit it with a lighter. His face was full of sadness.
Now we really have nowhere to go before and nowhere to stay.
Ye Kai was also scratching his head a little. He didn't expect to encounter such a situation, but calculating the distance, it was actually not that far away. Even if he called a car to tow it away now, it wouldn't take too long.
The three of them stood in the snow. Ling Xiao, who was wearing high heels, felt her feet were a little cold and kept walking around on the ground. Snowflakes followed the northwest wind and got into her collar from time to time, causing
The little girl kept shrinking her neck, and her face became as pale as snow due to the low temperature, but she looked more beautiful and refined.
Because it was already getting late, there were very few vehicles on the road.
But when Ye Kai took out his mobile phone, he found that the battery was dead.
"Hey." Ye Kai said hey and was speechless.
It’s really raining all night because of the leak in the house. Now it’s impossible to even call a car to come over.
A person who travels a hundred miles can only travel half a mile. This saying is true. We were about to reach Dragon City. We actually encountered this kind of thing.
"More than ten kilometers, I have no choice but to walk back." Ling Xiao was a little anxious and said through gritted teeth.
Ye Kai shook his head and said, "If it's only a few miles, it's okay to walk, but now it's at least thirty miles. With your small body and wearing high heels, you will never be able to walk back."
This is not a joke, it’s thirty miles away. Even on a sunny day, walking down in high heels is almost masochistic, not to mention this kind of weather and this kind of road conditions? Ye Kai estimates that Ling Xiao can walk at most
The road is useless after two miles.
"Let me try again and see if I can get the car started?" The driver also lost his temper. He smoked a cigarette, felt a little better, and continued to go to the front to repair the car.
"Oh, I like snowy weather the most, but when it comes to this situation..." Ling Xiao's face turned gloomy. "My dad is going to have an operation. I originally wanted to send him something before the operation.
A birthday present.”
"What kind of surgery?" Ye Kai asked.
"For liver problems, the doctor said that a piece of it should be cut off." Ling Xiao replied.
"Oh..." Ye Kai pondered. There are many liver problems, but some are easy to cure. Some are difficult to cure. If it is a more troublesome disease, it won't be cured even after several cuts. Look.
With Ling Xiao's expression before, it shouldn't be a big problem.
"What does your father do?" Ye Kai asked.
"Before he retired, he worked as a senior engineer at the city's steel plant. He only went through the formalities for retirement last year. His work used to be very intensive and there was no one who could technically replace him, so he often worked all night. Most of his illness is caused by this.
I'm tired." When this matter was mentioned, Ling Xiao's mood did not get better again, "But the city steel factory did a very bad job indeed. The medical expenses that should be reimbursed have not been reimbursed yet.
The little savings I have are basically spent on medical treatment.”
Ye Kai listened and nodded. Normally, the salary of a flight attendant is relatively high nowadays. However, Ling Xiao has not been working for long, so she cannot be expected to help the family. Fortunately, the old couple both have their own jobs and living burdens.
It's a little smaller, but even after a serious illness, it's quite difficult.
Nowadays, whether cadres or employees, serious illnesses can be reimbursed by their units. However, some companies fail to implement it in place, or adopt a drag-and-drop formula, which has caused great dissatisfaction among everyone.
After all, some of it is because the economic situation does not allow it, and some is because the factory is unwilling to spend the money, especially for employees who have retired.
For example, Ling Xiao's father, who has just turned fifty, is the technical backbone of the company and a rare technical management talent. If it were not for illness, he should still be able to work for ten years. Now he has to retire early.
Procedure, recuperate at home.
"Does the city steel factory have no money?" Ye Kaiwen asked Ling with a smile.
"How come there's no money?" Ling Xiao replied angrily, "Their factory leaders can't afford to go out for a meal if they don't have thousands of dollars, but they just refuse to spend it on the employees!"
"I heard that the boss of the city's steel factory seems to have a surname of Zuo, and his reputation is said to be pretty good?" Ye Kai asked.
"They're all the same. I don't know what happened to the one named Zuo. When his daughter got married, her family paid a dowry worth millions. Everyone knows about this, and the Discipline Inspection Commission also investigated it, but they said it was his wife.
I earned it by running a street stall." Ling Xiao said.
"Tch." Ye Kai couldn't help but curl his lips after hearing this.
Where can I make so much money by setting up a street stall?
From the other party's answer, it can be seen that Zuo Shichang, the boss of this city's steel factory, does not care at all if anyone checks him. It is obvious that Zuo Shichang, who enjoys deputy department level treatment, must be covered by someone above him.
, otherwise I would not have given such an extremely irresponsible and arrogant answer.
But the Discipline Inspection Commission couldn't do anything about him. Everyone could see what was fishy here.
The driver struggled for a while, but still had no effect, and was almost desperate.
"Oh my God, I'm really trapped here!" He shouted into the air for a while, and finally gave up.
This is a very troublesome thing. It would be better if it were during the day. There are many long-distance buses passing by. Just take a ride and get a replacement ticket. But now it is too late. It is hard to say whether you will encounter it.
A free ride means that you can meet any car, and as long as you can tow the car to Longcheng, the problem will be solved.
"There's no point in being anxious, just wait, there's no way no car will pass by." Ye Kai comforted the driver and handed him the remaining half bottle of Erguotou, "I can't leave now anyway, so drink some wine to warm yourself up."
.”
The driver took the Erguotou and took a sip. He felt heat coming out of his body and his mood improved a little.
"Oh, it's really unlucky. The car is broken and should have been overhauled a long time ago, but the people in the work unit insisted on making use of it, and finally it fell into my hands." The driver shook his head and said.
When Ye Kai asked, he found out that this car belonged to a unit under the Yunzhou Municipal Agricultural Machinery Bureau. The two old Santanas also belonged to the unit. No one was using them for a while. He drove them as a black car. If he was lucky, he could buy them in a month.
Being able to earn one to two thousand yuan is pretty good.
"Anyway, the gasoline is paid by the company, and it doesn't cost anything. It's just a little hard work. But the car broke down and I was out of town. This matter is not easy to deal with. I have to pay for it myself." The driver was a little depressed.
said.
"This is something you didn't think about yourself. You want the horse to run, but you don't want it to eat grass. If you had repaired it in advance, it wouldn't have cost much. It's good now, everyone is on the road."
Ling Xiao said.
"It was running fine this morning, God knows it will break down," the driver argued.
If it weren't for the fact that he was responsible and Er Lingxiao was a beauty, the driver wouldn't have such a good temper.
"Don't say a few words. I'll light a fire on the side of the road for everyone to warm themselves up." Ye Kai dissuaded.
He walked around in the field next to him, found some hay, replaced some dead branches and leaves, and piled them into a pile.
Fortunately, the heavy snow had just fallen and the temperature was low, so it had not melted, so after pouring some gasoline that came with the car, it was easily ignited.
The driver also picked up some branches and filled them in. After a while, the fire was burning brightly.
The three people gathered around the fire and immediately felt much more comfortable. The flames were more than two meters high. They were not only warm, but also very eye-catching.
Ling Xiao looked at the snowflakes falling in the air, which were melted by the heat generated by the flames and turned into gas and floated away. He couldn't help but feel a little lost. Today's experience was really a bit special. First he encountered a strong airflow in the air, and then another
It was a transition, and then the car broke down halfway, and now everyone had to stand in the snow to warm themselves by the fire.
This day has been really rich.
She secretly glanced at Ye Kai beside her, and found that Ye Kai's expression was more focused. He was looking at the fire, but he seemed to be thinking about something. That quiet and deep expression made Ling Xiao feel a little fascinated.
In fact, during her time at the airline, although Ling Xiao was young, she also met many suitors, including some young people with good family conditions who wanted to develop a relationship with her, but Ling Xiao herself felt that her age was not suitable for her.
When I was twenty, there was no need to sell myself so early, so I never agreed.
Meeting Ye Kai today made her feel some special emotions. It seemed that at the moment when the plane encountered strong airflow, the feeling of warmth and security when she held Ye Kai made her feel nostalgic and nostalgic.
Could it be that I already have some special feelings for Ye Kai?
"Impossible, it must be because I was scared." After Ling Xiao discovered this tendency, he immediately woke up and shook his head secretly.
Although Ye Kai is a good young man, he only met him once and only knew his name. How could he have such a strong sense of dependence on him?
Ling Xiao felt that this was wrong. To be continued...
