December 31st, 5:30 p. m.
It was moderate rain, and the temperature was 5 degrees.
"City bus station! The bus station in the city! 30 yuan per person, is there anyone else who wants to go?”
"Cabbage, cabbages that were just dug out from the fields! Come and take a look!"
"Shunfeng Inn, 50 yuan a night! There's a wireless hot spot!"
“.......”
On both sides of the wet dirt road at the dirty intersection of Sandao Street, there were more than a dozen enthusiastic aunties and uncles greeting the passersby.
For more than ten years, the economy of all parts of the country had been developing at a high speed. It was almost different every day.
He City was different. In order to prevent people from finding their way home, the entire city retained its original style. Even the roads had not been changed.
On the bumpy " cement " road, there was an electric pole covered with small advertisements every ten meters.
In the middle of the electric poles, chopstick-sized wires drooped slightly, allowing rainwater to gather in the middle and drip down, hitting the plastic greenhouse below.
The splashing water accurately drilled into the pedestrian's neck, shocking everyone!
Everything was a childhood memory.
"We're about to leave. We have to hurry to the city. If we miss the last bus, we'll have to wait until tomorrow!”
At the entrance of a light yellow bus at the corner of the street, a young driver shouted at the top of his voice.
A woman in her thirties passed by. The young man quickly went forward and greeted her warmly,
"Sister, are you going back to the city?"
"I'll give you a discount. Others charge 30 yuan, but I'll charge you 25 yuan. How about it?”
"If it really doesn't work out, twenty."
"Hey! Sigh! Don't go!"
Looking at the " big sister "'s " sorry figure, the young man shook his head regretfully." Sigh, it's raining on New Year's Eve. It's not easy to get some business."”
The driver's name was Xu Anqing, male, twenty-five years old, unmarried. He had been driving for seven years, and his monthly income ranged from 500 to 3,000 yuan. His parents were dead, and he had no sister or house.
His household registration was in He City.
He was born and raised in He City.
He had never left He City since he was young.
His only chance to leave He City was to get into Shanghai University in high school. However, he missed the registration time due to an accident at home. He could not afford the tuition fees, so he had no choice but to drop out of school.
The most valuable thing was the bus behind him.
Originally, he could have chosen to sell the bus and barely saved up a year's worth of tuition fees to change his fate.
However, he felt that this was the only legacy left by his parents, so he gave up on this idea and turned to inherit his father's business, becoming a private bus driver.
Now, his biggest dream was to drive a bus and wander around, to see the scenery outside, to see the vast world outside, or to go to the beach, build a wooden house, raise a dog, face the sea, and have spring flowers bloom.
"Master! Are you leaving or not? If you don't leave, I'll change to a tricycle!”
A middle-aged woman in her forties poked her head out of the window in the middle of the bus and shouted with an extremely dissatisfied expression.
The cruel display pulled Xu Anqing's thoughts back, and the worry on her face instantly disappeared. She smiled apologetically and said," Right away, right away. I'll go to Old Wang's supermarket to buy some goods."”
After saying that, he ran to the small supermarket around the corner without even holding an umbrella.
Old Wang Supermarket was a small supermarket that was less than 30 square meters in size. It usually did not have much business. It mainly relied on bus drivers and truck drivers to get goods.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to continue driving.
"Brother Wang, get me a box of barrel noodles, three packs of ham sausages, and a carton of red plum cigarettes.”
After entering the supermarket, Xu Anqing shook her wet hair and patted the rain off her clothes.
Behind the glass counter covered in transparent glue, a little old man in his fifties asked enthusiastically,
"It's raining, and it's easy to get stuck in traffic. Is one box enough? Do you want another box?"
"I didn't get any customers. I bought a box for myself.”Xu Anqing didn't let the little old man say anything more. She took out a few crumpled notes from her pocket and placed them on the table one by one.
"Red Plum cigarettes are 4.5 yuan per pack, 42 yuan per carton, 50 yuan per box of noodles, and 26 yuan for three packs of ham sausages.”
Putting the money on the counter, Xu Anqing put the cigarette under her arm and rushed back to the bus with the barrel noodles and ham sausage.
The little old man behind him rolled his eyes and cursed," Brat, every time I do business with you, I only earn money. Don't come again!"”
After cursing, she turned around and put on a smile.
"What a fool. He bought so many cigarettes but didn't know that they were fake. The purchase price was only 20 yuan, and he earned double.”
Delighted.
.......
"Bang!"
"Hu! The rain outside is a little heavy!"
Back in the car, Xu Anqing piled all the things she bought on the passenger seat. She casually picked up a towel to dry her hair and did not forget to comfort the only three passengers in the car.
"We're about to start driving. Do you still want to buy anything?”
"No, hurry up and drive!"
The middle-aged woman sitting in the middle urged impatiently.
It could be seen that her patience was almost at its limit.
At the back of the car, two young couples were sitting together, watching a video on their phones.
It was very sweet.
However, the girl seemed to have caught a cold. She kept coughing and her face was as pale as paper. Even the veins on her face could be seen clearly.
Moreover, every time he coughed, his veins would become clearer.
There was an indescribable strangeness.
If it wasn't for the lack of money, Xu Anqing wouldn't even want to drive the two of them.
He put down the towel, pulled the handbrake, and slowly started the car.
"Let's go!"
The light yellow bus gradually left the three entrances and headed for the city.
After exiting the three-way crossing, they entered the rural road.
There were farmlands and houses on both sides. At a glance, there were no high-rise buildings or cement bricks. Instead, there were clear water and good farmland with green brick houses.
In the rain and fog, wisps of smoke rose from the chimneys of the tile-roofed houses.
Some of them were filled with thick smoke, while others were filled with faint green smoke.
It was as if it was silently telling people in the distance that it was time to go home, or telling people who were returning home the direction.
However, Xu Anqing was indifferent to all of this.
To him, after his parents 'house was taken over by his uncle, the bus was his home.
Where the bus was, home was.
"Crackle!"
"Rustle, rustle, rustle!"
At six o'clock in the winter, the sky turned gray. The cold wind carried raindrops and hit the roof of the car. The leaves interweaved into a song of nature, as if announcing their arrival.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
The girl at the back coughed louder and louder, so loud that people couldn't help but worry that she might cough her lungs out.
"The rain is getting heavier."
Xu Anqing looked at the splashing water under the car lights and felt an inexplicable chill. She quickly rolled up the window and drove carefully.
