Chapter 6: How Much Hardship
"Xiaochuan, why don't you stand outside and not enter the house?" A middle-aged woman with a bib came over, probably fifty or sixty years old.
"Aunt Yun, I want to invite Jiang Yu to be a guest at home. Ji Chuan said to her.
It turned out that she was Aunt Yun who called her that day.
I couldn't help but look at her twice, and my eyes just met her.
"Miss Jiang?" she stepped forward, "I didn't expect it to be so coincidental, I called in the morning and met in the evening." Hello, I'm Mo Chengyun, just call me Aunt Yun. ”
Jiang Yu hurriedly opened the car door and got out of the car, "Hello Aunt Yun, I'm Jiang Yu." ”
"Miss Jiang, I just made dinner, let's go after eating. She also extended an invitation.
Ji Chuan stood there, his eyes glancing at Jiang Yu, as if to say, "Look, Aunt Yun said the same thing." ”
"I'm sorry Aunt Yun, because my dad is not feeling well and is home alone now. I'll have to go back and take care of it. Jiang Yu politely refused.
"But... Didn't you still want to do business?" Ji Chuan retorted.
Jiang Yu turned around and looked up at Ji Chuan, he was really tall, she was not short at 170, but she was still a lot shorter than him, and it was estimated that Ji Chuan's height was one meter nine.
"What you just said is very right, if I am complained, my dad and I will not be able to secure our jobs, so I decided not to take the order and go home immediately. ”
With that, she stretched out her hand to him, her palm spreading upward.
"Huh?" Ji Chuan was stunned, not knowing what to do.
Jiang Yu pointed to the meter in the car: "Eighty-six." ”
Ji Chuan took out his wallet from his pocket and took out a hundred yuan, "Eighty-six, that's a great number." ”
She took change from the car and found it for him, and then said to Aunt Yun, "Aunt Yun, then I'll go first." Good bye. "Get in the car, start the car, and go.
Ji Chuan stood in place, a layer of fog in his milky eyes, and his face was frustrated.
Seeing this, Aunt Yun comforted him: "It's okay, it's just the beginning, take your time, she will be friends with you." ”
"Why didn't she say goodbye to me, and she didn't want to eat with me?" Ji Chuan looked puzzled.
"Because she doesn't know you very well yet. You can't force people to eat this kind of thing, and this shows that she has a strong sense of defense. What if we're the bad guys? You should understand her. Aunt Yun said.
"But how can we be bad people, besides, I've known her for 17 years, haven't we?" Ji Chuan frowned and pinched the edge of his pants.
"Are you sure it's her?, will it be ......," Aunt Yun said embarrassedly.
"That's her. Ji Cheng has already investigated her elementary school, which is the one in it, and there is only one Jiang Yu in it. Ji Chuan said firmly.
"Well, she must have forgotten. Take your time, after all, so many years have passed. Aunt Yun said gently.
"But I really want to be friends with her. What should I do?Aunt Yun, can you teach me again?" His emotions gradually became excited, his expression was painful, his two black eyebrows were twisted together, his eyes flickered, and his body began to tremble.
Aunt Yun saw that Ji Chuan's situation was not good, so she hurriedly reassured: "Contact more and communicate more, treat her sincerely." She'll be willing to be your friend. ”
……
Jiang Yu drove the car and could only wave to the passengers waving on the side of the road.
She didn't want to let herself and her father lose their jobs because she was earning a few dozen dollars.
It's just that she is really a little distressed about the gas money for the empty car back and forth.
When I got home, I opened the door, but I saw Du Shenyun and his father chatting and eating.
"Shenyun?" Jiang Yu changed his shoes and entered the house.
"Jiang Yu, why did you come back so early?" Jiang Shui asked first.
"Business didn't go well and came back. Jiang Yu looked at Du Shenyun with his eyes, "Why did you come here again?"
"I wanted to have dinner with you. Du Shenyun said, "I knocked on the door and found that you were not there, and my uncle said that you had already made dinner, so let me stay and eat together." You haven't eaten yet, have you?"
The dishes on the table have been almost eaten, and Du Shenyun walked into the kitchen, "It just so happens that I bought vegetables when I came in the evening, and I will cook a few more dishes." ”
"Eh, how can this be done? Mr. Du, sit down. Jianghu hurriedly said, his eyes passed to Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu received a look and stopped Du Shenyun: "I am better at cooking this kind of thing." You can go watch the game with my dad. ”
Her attitude was very firm, and Du Shenyun couldn't refuse, so she had to say, "Do you want me to help you?"
"No need. With such a small kitchen, I feel in the way when you come. Jiang Yu still drove Du Shenyun out.
She heated the soup and fried an extra loofah edamame, which was enough for her.
"Dad, does your stomach still hurt?" Jiang Yu asked.
"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt. Jianghu waved his hand, his eyes back and forth between the two.
…
After Jiang Yu finished eating, she sent Du Shenyun downstairs.
"Doesn't it matter if you go back so late?" Jiang Yu asked, during which he saw Du Shenyun hang up the phone several times.
"It doesn't matter, I've already told my mom. Du Shenyun replied.
"Be careful on that road. Jiang Yu said.
He kissed her forehead: "I'm leaving." ”
Jiang Yu watched the pearlescent silver sedan drive away, and the taillights lit up with red light and slowly disappeared.
…
When Du Shenyun returned home, he saw Song Wenzhu sitting on the sofa.
"Going to her house again?"
Du Shenyun didn't speak, just walked to his room in silence.
"I don't answer the phone, I don't go home to eat, what do you want?" Song Wenzhu stood up angrily.
"Mom, this is my private matter, please don't interfere anymore. Du Shenyun said in a calm voice.
"A private matter? Is a major marriage affair a private matter? If this is really just a private matter, will I take care of it? This is a matter of two families! I will put my words here today, I, Song Wenzhu, absolutely do not want a female bus driver who does not even have a bachelor's degree to be my daughter-in-law!"
Du Shenyun shook the door and made a loud noise.
Song Wenzhu was so angry that he didn't come out, and shouted angrily: "Du Shenyun! Let her enter the door, don't even think about it! Unless I die!"
…
Jiang Yu went upstairs and closed the door, and Jianghu was still slumped on the sofa watching TV.
"Do you want to eat the melons in the refrigerator?" Jiang Yu asked.
Jianghu glanced at her, she did it on purpose: "You eat, I don't eat." ”
Jiang Yu took it out and ate it piece by piece with a toothpick.
Jianghu looked left and right, and said: "Jiang Yu, I don't care if this son-in-law has money or not, of course, it's better to have some money." The most important thing is that you can have a good time. ”
She understood what her father meant, Du Shenyun was very satisfied with him, but his family ......
"Dad, I know what to do. ”
…
…
Jiang Yu's current job is two shifts, doing six days off and one day off, and her partner is Lao Li, a 50-year-old kind uncle.
She used to work the morning shift because Lao Li felt that it was not safe to go home in the middle of the night on the evening shift.
But recently, because Lao Li's son was going to take the college entrance examination, Jiang Yu took the initiative to change the shift, and the captain thought about it for a while and agreed.
When Jiang Yu arrived at the dispatch room, the captain was still smoking a cigarette and reading the newspaper.
Where the team usually stays, there is the dispatch room on the right side of the door, which controls the time when each car enters the pit station and starts out. The room on the left is the small office of the captain and treasurer. In the aisle of the atrium is a small Xiaoice box, which contains the lunch box brought by the driver from home and some drinks to relieve the heat. The largest is their lounge, which is about 17 square meters and has four folding loungers.
However, this recliner is usually not very useful, during the lunch break, only 20 minutes to eat and go to the toilet, how can there be time to sit on the recliner and lie down, most of them sit directly on the bus driver's seat, head on the steering wheel and squint for a while.
"Xiao Jiang is here. The captain said as he flipped through the newspaper.
The captain's surname is Chen, and his single name is a Yu character.
"Hmm. Jiang Yu took out an oversized plastic cup from his bag and poured it aside.
"Looking at the current weather, it is estimated that it will rain again later. Alas, this year's rainy season has come early. You should be careful when you get out of the car later. The captain looked out the window at the gradually overcast sky.
"Okay, I got it. Jiang Yu replied.
"Shhh The captain cried out in pain as he stood up to pour water.
"I'll help you. Jiang Yu took the water cup and poured it over, "Arthritis again?"
The captain took the water cup and thanked him, and struggled to prop up the table: "It's an old problem." That's not good about the rainy season, the humidity is heavy, and the bone headache is very good. You see so many people in the team, except for you, who are young, almost all of them have problems. I remember that Lao Li's cervical spondylosis and lumbar disc herniation were quite serious. It's hard. ”
Indeed, drivers are most likely to get cervical spondylosis, frozen shoulder, prostatitis, lumbar disc herniation, carpal tunnel syndrome and other diseases.
In fact, Jiang Yu often feels discomfort in the cervical spine, and he should also have cervical spondylosis.
"A few days ago, I had dinner with a friend in the dispatch room on the other side, and after I had eaten enough, I counted the average age of the bus driver over there, and found that our team was the youngest, so I said that it was all up to Xiao Jiang to lower this age. The captain laughed.
"I heard that I was the youngest female driver in the city. Jiang Yu said with a smile.
You're already the youngest driver in the city. The young man from out of town who was a little younger than you before quit these days, saying that he was too tired and had not developed. I just want to say, if you drive a bus, the advantage is stability, what kind of development can you have? Every day is to deal with the bus and the passengers, and the passengers are already lucky to not be looking for trouble!"
"I quit? I still can't get through it. Jiang Yu sighed.
"To be honest Xiao Jiang, you are the most persevering and hard-working little girl I have ever seen. The captain said earnestly, "Your car is driving well, but ah, as far as I am concerned, I am still distressed." A girl, who gets up early every day and is greedy for darkness, and the work intensity is still so high, if you say you don't want to do it one day, I will definitely support you. ”
Jiang Yu let out a sigh, and it was really raining outside: "I know, you are for my good." It's just that you also know that I don't have a high education, I can't find a good job, and I have a good salary as a bus driver. Also, I love cars, although tired, but at least I like them. So, I'm going to stick with it. ”
"Alas. The captain sighed, his eyes were helpless and relieved, "The young man is strong." ”
"You've been working night shifts lately, so be sure to be safe when you go back. That, what is the number of the college entrance examination?" asked the captain.
"No. 6, No. 7. Jiang Yu replied.
"Oh, that's been a few days. When Lao Li's son finishes the exam, I will let the two of you change it back. The captain said, "Oh! Lao Li is back!"
Jiang Yu looked at the bus entering the station, picked up the water cup, and prepared to change shifts.
