Chapter 006: Uneasy
"Miss, I'm so sorry!" Suddenly, the driver turned his head and smiled apologetically, and then explained: "That's right, I'm a novice, and I just started working today, so I'm not very familiar with the route, please bear with me!
Looking at the other party's innocent smile and somewhat humble expression, listening to the extremely sincere words, Tian Tian's heart couldn't help but tremble.
If you still leave resolutely at this time, then it will seem a little unkind. In this case, why not give him a chance and give him a little confidence? Besides, his own affairs are not as anxious as burning his eyebrows, and it doesn't matter if he is later.
She thought so, and her hand quietly withdrew from the handlebar.
Since childhood, grandparents have taught Tian Tian to be kind, generous, and enthusiastic.
So, she thought for a while and said, "The specific address is in Haizhu District, located in, it seems to be located in the north of Jiangnan Avenue." ”
"Gangnam Avenue? Okay, I probably know. Well, please fasten your seatbelts! We're off. ”
Tian Tian smiled and nodded, and then groped for the safety belt on one side.
"No, no, wait a minute, let's talk about the price first. In this way, we can know in our hearts so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings. ”
Hearing this, the driver burst out laughing.
Immediately, he turned around and almost teased: "You won't be afraid that I will blackmail you, right?"
"No, that's not what I meant. It's just that I like to be clear and fair, and I don't like to be ambiguous and embarrass each other. ”
"In this way, you are my first customer, so I will not receive a penny from you by virtue of your trust and support in me. How?"
He thought about it, and he was serious.
"Where is this going to work? No, how can I sit in vain? What have I become? Haven't I become a person who likes to take advantage of small things?" Tian Tian smiled.
"But I did it willingly. I would also like to thank you for your willingness to ride in my car!"
"No, it doesn't. One yard to one yard. I can't exploit your hard work like a week. Well, I'll give you eight pieces of eight. This is a number that Cantonese people like, and the meaning is fat. May you start victorious, and the wealth will roll in!"
"Thank you! Lend you good words! You are so polite! Then let's go! You have to sit still!"
So, the taxi drove Tian Tian slowly away from the bus stop.
Through the window glass, she saw that the motorcyclist drove away on the motorcycle after seeing the taxi leave, looking at the obscene back, she couldn't help but glance at the man fiercely, and cursed the "breath" in her heart, of course, at the same time, she had the joy and joy of escaping from the tiger's den.
Therefore, she couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.
"Miss, where did you come from?"
Perhaps, not wanting to make the atmosphere in the car depressing, the driver and Tian Tian pulled up a homely routine.
"Shenzhen. ”
"Uh. So, are you running a bridal shop?"
"Huh, how do you know?"
Tian Tian was very surprised.
"I guess. Because, I don't think, you can't come all the way to Guangzhou to buy a set and a half wedding dress to wear by yourself. ”
With that, he laughed heartily.
"That's right. Reasonable. After listening, Tian Tian also smiled, paused, and asked, "Where did you drive a taxi before?"
"This is my first time in this business, and I haven't done it before. ”
"However, I don't think it's the first time you've touched a car, and I feel like you're very skilled and steady. ”
"Uh, this one. That's because I've been driving for eight years, but, just, it's just a garbage truck. ”
As he spoke, he seemed to be particularly embarrassed with a wry smile.
"I'll just say it. Then, how did you think of changing your career to do this?" Tian Tian asked with interest.
"Aren't I a sanitation worker in my hometown? It's hard, tiring, dirty, and the wages are too low. In those years, there was a sick old lady, and I couldn't help it, so I didn't dare to go out. Later, the old lady left. I just wanted to come out. I have a fellow who rents a taxi here, and when I saw him send it, I wanted to come and join in the fun. Hey, hey!"
He spoke eloquently, very modestly and tactfully.
"Actually, it's good to do this!"
"Hey, it's just that I'm not familiar with the business now, and I can't work all day long. As soon as someone heard that I hadn't been there, they got out of the car without saying a word. ”
Annoyed, he shook his head helplessly.
Tian Tian grinned, not knowing what to say.
"Everything is difficult at the beginning! It takes a process, just take your time. ”
It took a long time for her to spit out a series of words that comforted each other like a formula.
"I know, but I'm running out of faith. Today, I went to work at four o'clock in the morning, just thinking about making more money. Unexpectedly, I was rejected countless times. Slowly, I became a little discouraged. It can really be said that "the ideal is very plump, but the reality is very skinny". So, I secretly swore in my heart that if I didn't do a single business today, then I would go home. Consumption here is surprisingly high, how can you not make money? You say, right?"
Tian Tian nodded in amazement.
She was silent, she didn't expect it to be like this.
At this moment, she looked out the window, only to see that the buildings on both sides were towering into the sky, and the fierce sunlight shone on the glass wall, reflecting a dazzling light, which was very beautiful!
The passing cars next to it whizzed by like a speed, and there was an endless stream of them.
Suddenly, the convoy in front stopped, as if by magic.
Tian Tian looked up curiously, and it turned out that there was a bright red light in front of the vehicle.
Oh, the car dragon slowly squirmed.
Xu is where the new store opens, knock knock, there are bursts of joyful gongs and drums in my ears.
After a while, I really saw the entrance of a store with a rainbow bridge from a distance, and it was crowded with people. There were people jumping up and down and dancing lions, and there were two rows of people beating gongs and drums, and there was a crowd outside.
Tian Tian couldn't help but cast a glance of envy and anticipation.
In the blink of an eye, the car came to the door of the store, and it became more and more realistic.
The two lions, a male and a female, are really lifelike, and the exquisite skills and performances of the lion dance have won bursts of thunderous applause.
Unfortunately, the taxi drove too fast, and in an instant, the lion was thrown far away.
Although she was still reluctant, she couldn't see anything after all.
In Tian Tian's memory, when he was a child, there were also lion performances in their village.
Lion dance teams like this come to perform, usually after the Chinese New Year.
In those years of spiritual emptiness and material deprivation, the lion dance team, like the movie going to the countryside, was very popular with the people in the mountainous areas.
In the hearts of those peasants, they were as fresh and curious as the radios of that time.
"This is Gangnam Avenue. ”
Suddenly, the driver interrupted Tian Tian's thoughts.
"Well, yes? It's pretty fast. ”
She shifted her seated position and agreed.
She couldn't help but stretch her neck and look out at the street sign on the side of the road, well, sure enough.
I couldn't help but feel a little relieved in my heart.
However, the further he drove, the more Tian Tian's heart beat a drum, wondering, how did he find that the houses here were getting shorter and shorter, like old houses in the sixties and seventies.
And it is 108,000 miles different from the high-rise buildings that go straight into the sky and the splendid shops that are decorated after the reform and opening up in my heart!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a trace of disappointment in her heart.
But, yes, I just looked at it again, this is indeed the direction of the north?
Tian Tian couldn't say it.
At this time, a huge banyan tree came into view, standing like a big umbrella covering the sky and the sun in the middle of the street park.
Under the leafy banyan tree, there are many elderly people and children standing or sitting. They came in groups, some were playing chess, some were playing poker, some were dancing, and some were playing erhu······
In the lush canopy, a few small birds flew out of the canopy, and at other times, unknown birds flew in happily from outside, and landed lightly on the branches, which immediately swayed and swayed, and then, the crisp and pleasant sound of birdsong lingered in the sky.
The birds were not afraid of life at all, and some of the bold birds flew down from the trees with their wings to pick up the crumbs dropped by the children on the ground.
At this moment, Tian Tian couldn't help but be stunned, because this completely subverted the impression of "a bird that has a little movement like an arrow from a string".
The birds were so calm and unhurried, as if they didn't need to worry about the slightest danger, like toddlers playing around their knees beside their ancestors.
Soon, one after another bridal shops crashed into Tian Tian's eyes, and further on, there were more and more bridal shops, more and more, which was simply the world of wedding dresses.
The styles of wedding dresses are also different, neatly hung and dazzling, making people dizzy.
There are red, yellow, blue, green, purple······ And the white ones.
The street is bustling and lively!
It's here, it's really here!
Tian Tian couldn't help but get excited.
She immediately called the driver to stop.
After the car stopped steadily, she handed the eight-yuan eight-yuan ticket that had been prepared and pinched in the palm of her hand to the driver, and sincerely said "Thank you!"
She stepped out of the car impatiently.
Tian Tian closed the door, the taxi turned around and left, and after a while, it disappeared.
She walked along the cobblestone streets, passing by the hurried men, women, and children, among whom were many blue-eyed, yellow-haired, white-skinned, and eagle-nosed foreigners, as well as swarthy African friends······
As far as the eye can see, you can see packing or putting huge packages into the carts, and the tricycles are skilfully shuttling through the crowded streets.
