Chapter 172
Although the snow fell heavily and accumulated relatively thick yesterday, the altitude here is not very high, so as long as it is not particularly high in the mountains, the snow will melt away very quickly. So after last night's stars and this morning's warm sun, the snow on the road below has basically melted, and traffic has not been affected by this snow.
Lin Jiaming put the bacon in the trunk, opened the door and was about to sit in the cab, when a blurred figure appeared in his field of vision, making him close the car door and take a few steps forward.
"Uncle......" Lin Jiaming stood still and called out from afar.
"Jiaming, when did you come back?" the person who was called uncle by Lin Jiaming walked over quickly.
"Yesterday afternoon, uncle, where did you go?" Lin Jiaming touched his pocket, but fortunately he brought a pack of cigarettes with him, which he originally found for customers. Lin Jiaming took out a cigarette and handed it to the person he called his uncle.
"Jiaming, have you bought a car? This is making a lot of money, all of you smoke China..."The uncle took the cigarette handed over by Lin Jiaming, looked at the white car behind Lin Jiaming, and said with relief.
"Oh, the car was given by a friend, this cigarette is for customers, uncle, you know, I don't smoke!" Lin Jiaming smiled a little embarrassedly. Making a lot of money is still far from him now.
"Haha, you kid, it's so interesting to talk? Which friend is so rich, just give you a car!" Lin Jiaming's words, of course the uncle will not believe it, if it is someone else, it is estimated that there are very few people who believe it.
Lin Jiaming was about to explain, and his uncle asked again.
"Where are you going?"
"Take a trip back to X City..."
"Just came back, and went again? Don't celebrate the New Year in the house?" In this dialect, the word "house" can refer to both home and hometown.
"There's something going on over there, I'll be back on my first day of junior high school. That's why I can't celebrate the New Year with you this year. Lin Jiaming's words didn't cause much of a feeling from the uncle, as if he couldn't spend the New Year here, it didn't matter.
"Oh~ Then you should be safe when driving on the road. The uncle threw the cigarette butt into the unmelted snowdrift, turned around and walked towards his grandmother's house.
"Good!"
The dialogue is short, it has been like this since childhood, and the uncle feels a bit like a father to Lin Jiaming, and it is a little strange, maybe he himself can't understand it. This may be because he didn't grow up with his parents.
Lin Jiaming started the car, and a white gas came out of the exhaust pipe behind the car, which was the water vapor generated by the combustion of gasoline, which was liquefied when it was ejected from the gas cylinder. After the car was hot, Lin Jiaming slowly stepped on the accelerator, and the scenery by the window began to move backwards slowly.
Driving all the way, Lin Jiaming was a little bored, he looked at the road in front of him, and thought about Lu Haowan. Since he left Lu Haowan's house, except for the two of them chatting when he reported his safety, from yesterday to now, there has been nothing else.
"I don't know what this girl is doing!"
Lin Jiaming muttered quietly, maybe he didn't even hear it clearly.
Thinking that he was about to get on the highway, Lin Jiaming turned on the music and played the car DJ, which seemed to make him more excited.
A few minutes after it was played, the phone rang and the music was interrupted.
"Hey?" Lin Jiaming pressed the answer button.
"Hey, Jiaming, why haven't you come back yet?"
"It's on the road, get on the highway right away!"
"Then it will take at least more than 3 hours!" Fang Rui said angrily.
"Haha, so impatient?"
"Get out, I'm really bored by myself, you come back quickly..."
Fang Rui's tone made Lin Jiaming feel very strange, feeling that he was not really bored, but just wanted to tease him.
"Okay then, I'll tell, hurry up......"
"Hey, don't, don't worry... Haha"
It was this "haha" that made Lin Jiaming lose Fang Rui.
"Old Fang, big bamboo pole, you make fun of me, don't you? There's a girl next to you, and you're bored?"
"Jiaming, hurry back and wait for you to drink!"
"Okay, it's here in the afternoon!"
Before Lin Jiaming and Fang Rui finished speaking, the mobile phone prompted another call to come in, which was an unfamiliar number.
"Old Fang, I won't tell you first, there's a call coming in!"
"Then pay attention on the road, wait for you to come back..."
Before Fang Rui finished speaking, Lin Jiaming switched to another phone.
"Hey, Brother Jiaming, where are you?" A very familiar voice came from the phone, but Lin Jiaming did not associate this voice with a familiar face.
"I've gone back to my hometown, and now I'm rushing to X City!"
"Then it's almost afternoon when you arrive in X City?"
"yes!"
"Oh well. Then slow down on your way!"
"Good!"
Hanging up the phone, Lin Jiaming felt very strange, and made sure that this voice was very familiar, but he didn't know who it was, and he said such a thing that he didn't understand.
Lin Jiaming was thinking about whether he had an appointment somewhere when the phone rang again.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Jiaming, where is it?" Lin Jiaming heard this voice for the first time, it was Brother Yang.
"I've gone back to my hometown, and now I'm going to X City!Is there anything wrong with Brother Yang?" Lin Jiaming asked.
"What do you mean I have something, I didn't see you at your third brother's wedding banquet today, ask me where you are and how long it will take to arrive!"
Speaking of this, Lin Jiaming patted his head. The phone call just now said that it was very familiar, and it turned out to be the third brother. It's embarrassing, why can't you forget such an important thing in the back of your mind.
"Then you hold on, hurry up. After Brother Yang said this, he hung up the phone directly.
Lin Jiaming was thinking about how to make a phone call to the third brother to say that he would arrive later, and the temporary nurse he found for Aunt Zhao called again, saying that Aunt Zhao was not in a good state today and was a little confused, and hoped that Lin Jiaming could go back as soon as possible.
It seems that all things came out at once at this time, which caught Lin Jiaming off guard. How should this be handled?
Lin Jiaming made a difficulty, although he thought in his heart that he must go to Aunt Zhao first, if the situation is not good, he will definitely have to be sent to the hospital, there is nothing to say. Fang Rui is also easy to say, just tell him, it's a big deal to be counted down by him, but the third brother is there, so Lin Jiaming's head is big.
When I first got the invitation, I promised that I would definitely go to their wedding, but now I have completely forgotten about it.
After thinking about it, Lin Jiaming didn't think of any good way, so he called back to the unfamiliar number, but kept prompting that no one answered.
Come to think of it, the third brother must be very busy on the wedding day, how can he have time to pay attention to his mobile phone.
Lin Jiaming sighed, and had to apologize to the third brother later!
