Chapter 3 Taxi Drivers
In order to ensure that Wenwen's physical and mental state was not affected by the accident, Cao's family also needed to undergo some follow-up examinations. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
So, Ye Yifan, who was not feeling unwell and was not ready to stay and ask the airline for compensation like some people, said goodbye to the enthusiastic Cao Shuhui family, but after picking up the luggage, he met Wang Yu, Ruan Shuai, Ruan Meizi and Lu Zijun, who were also dragging their luggage out of the airport.
"Hey! Handsome guy! Where to go! Why don't you give you a ride! We'll send you there! You must know that it is not easy to get a taxi at Yanshi Airport at this point, and it seems that there is a long queue to take the airport bus, and it will take half a day to have a trip. Ruan Meizi was obviously still very interested in Ye Yifan, and when she saw Ye Yifan's eyes, she stepped forward with a smile and greeted warmly.
Lu Zijun followed behind Ruan Meizi, and when he heard this, his face changed slightly, and he glared at Ye Yifan fiercely. Ye Yifan ignored and chatted lukewarmly with Ruan Meizi.
"Thank you for your kindness! However, I have booked a taxi in advance to pick me up. Ye Yifan shook his mobile phone and spread his hands and refused.
"Hmm...... All right! Ruan Meizi bit her lip with some disappointment, the scene looked a little embarrassing, and the group walked out silently, Lu Zijun finally put his mind at ease when he saw this, and wished that they would part ways with Ye Yifan and never see each other again.
A bell rang, "Hey! I've arrived...... It's okay, I'll wait for you! Get in touch when you arrive! Ye Yifan picked up the phone and hung up the phone after a brief exchange, then turned to Ruan Meizi and said, "The taxi I contacted will arrive soon!" ”
At this moment, Lu Zijun's energetic mobile phone rang suddenly, and Lu Zijun picked up the phone unhappily: "Hey! Have you arrived? …… What the? Can't you come and pick us up? I~ Damn! What the? What do you let us do? It's a hot day, just waiting at the airport so stupidly? ”
Ruan Meizi, Ruan Shuai and Wang Yu couldn't help but look at the angry Lu Zijun when they heard this, the other end of the phone seemed to be explaining what it was, and Lu Zijun kept roaring: "Don't you know how difficult it is to take a taxi at the airport now?" You told us to squeeze the airport bus? You can't figure it out! I know that you kid is unreliable, see how I clean you up when I meet! ”
Lu Zijun cursed and hung up the phone, turned his head to his companion and said, "That kid said that he just received a call from the hospital, his father has a heart attack and is in emergency treatment, so he can't come to pick us up!" ”
"Seriously? You okay! You let him know if he needs help! Ruan Meizi hurriedly cared.
"What's going on! If you don't get sick early or late, you have to get sick at this time...... I wouldn't have let him pick us up! Actually let us pigeons! Ruan Shuai complained, but was glared at by Ruan Meizi, shrunk her neck and stopped talking.
"Brother Zijun, what should we do then?" Wang Yu asked timidly and softly.
"I can only call and ask my dad to send a car to pick us up! But in this case, you will be sent home directly, and you will not be able to go high! Lu Zijun sighed, drooping his face, a little unwilling, originally he planned to take advantage of this time to go out and call his friends Hapi.
"Dudu-" A taxi stopped beside Ye Yifan, the driver quickly opened the door and got out of the car, trotted to Ye Yifan's side, and asked with a smile: "It's Mr. Ye!" I'm sorry, I've been a little stuck in traffic lately! ”
"It's okay!" Ye Yifan nodded, his voice was gentle, but the sharp eyes behind his sunglasses were carefully looking at the taxi driver in front of him, who was around fifty years old, with a suit and leather shoes, a big belly, a lovely smile, and a somewhat slippery look.
"Sure enough, it's him!" Although fifteen years have passed, Ye Yifan recognized this old acquaintance at a glance.
He still remembers that summer fifteen years ago, that summer vacation, when he was only ten years old, he begged his mother for a long time before his mother agreed to return to China to vacation with his father and grandfather, but he never imagined that it would be the last period of time he spent with his father and grandfather.
The afternoon sun was so warm that people didn't want to move. After lunch, Ye Yifan stood on the curved base on the side of his grandfather's old but sturdy mahogany rocking chair and shook the rocking chair vigorously.
The sunlight shines through the dense wisteria trellises, casting dappled light and shadows, casting on the snow-white hair and ruddy face of his grandfather Ye Zhen. His father, Ye Weiguo, was wearing a vest and was sweating profusely playing chess with Uncle He An on the stone table next to him.
I heard my grandfather say that the wisteria in the yard has been more than 400 years old, which is better than the 300-year-old wisteria in front of the famous Ji Xiaolan's former residence. Every spring and autumn, many people from all over the country come to watch.
"Xiaofan, go get your camera and take a picture of Grandpa, your father and your Uncle He!" Grandfather Ye Zhen's deep eyes looked around the huge courtyard with affection, but his tone was full of helplessness.
Ye Yifan didn't understand why his grandfather had been a little strange recently, so he had to let him use the camera he brought back from abroad to take pictures of this old mansion again and again, not letting go of every corner. It seems to have something to do with "demolition", but what is demolition? Is it because of the demolition that this street that was lively in the past has become what it is now?
Ten-year-old Ye Yifan shook his little head, didn't think about these incomprehensible things, and happily took the last photo of his grandfather, father, and Uncle He: the sun is shining, the sky is clear, the white clouds are like silk, the blue bricks and blue tiles are high walls, there is a wisteria trellis under the wall that says "purple clouds hang down the ground, and the fragrance hits people", a kind old man lying on a rocking chair under the shelf, and two men in their forties who are engrossed in drinking and playing next to the old man......
That picture is so beautiful and warm, in the past fifteen years, Ye Yifan has reproduced that scene in his dreams countless times, but he woke up crying and stared at the photo in the dark night and lost sleep......
"Grandpa! Grandfather! Shoot it! Ye Yifan ran to Ye Zhen's side as if he was invited, put the camera in his camera bag, slung it behind him, and picked up the big fan on his grandfather's rocking chair to fan his grandfather cold.
"Good grandson! When the photos are washed, remember to send them back to grandpa! Ye Zhen squinted his eyes and pretended to sleep, enjoying the joy of family, and instructed Ye Yifan.
"Got it, grandpa! But with so many photos, you have to send a big package! Ye Yifan stretched out his arms exaggeratedly and gestured, causing the old man to laugh. Ye Yifan put his arms around his grandfather's neck, "When the time comes, I will send you the photos of the foreign villa as well!" There are also photos of Mommy, she also misses you grandpa! It's just that she's too busy to come back......"
At this moment, the corner gate of the courtyard "squeak! As soon as it sounded, Ye Yifan looked up, and on the gourd-shaped copper door bag leaf that drove away evil and avoided misfortune, meaning "Fulu", symbolizing the auspiciousness of longevity, the far-reaching and long hollow-shaped iron nail pattern reflected the noon sun.
Outside the door, a man of thirty-five or sixteen years old pressed the hexagonal door cymbals, pushed open the corner door, and hurriedly walked in.
"Old man, Brother Weiguo, Brother He An, you are also here!" The people who came panting and greeted everyone in the courtyard, and He An's presence surprised him a little.
"Little Fu! What's wrong? In this hurry, come and have a cup of tea and go to the heat! The old man, Ye Zhen, opened his eyes and looked at the person who came, and asked slowly.
This person's name is Fu Yi, who fled to Yan City to find a way to live when he was young, but he has no culture, no expertise, no craftsmanship, and he is not so hard-working, so he can only live without a fixed place and wander around all day long.
One day, Fu Yi fainted in front of the Ye Mansion without eating for a few days, and the old man Ye Zhen took him in kindly, let him stay in the Ye Mansion, and found a temporary job for him to support himself.
The next year, he married his wife Wang En, and then had a daughter Fu Xin, for more than ten years, the daughters were all in junior high school, and the family of three still lived in Yefu. The old man never collected rent from them, nor did he ask them to move out, and their family of three did not mention this matter, so they lived in Ye Mansion with peace of mind.
"Old man, I heard that a senior official was sent to the demolition office to understand the situation, and many neighbors who were unwilling to relocate went to the demolition office to explain the situation. I'm not here to ask Brother Wei Guo to take a look, since Brother He An is also here, I just went to talk about it together. Fu Yi didn't know if it was because he was in a hurry or something else, he seemed a little uneasy, and his eyes were erratic.
"Oh! Why didn't I see your daughter-in-law and Xin'er today? The old man Ye Zhen squinted his eyes again, seemed to be a little sleepy, and wanted to take a lunch break, so he asked casually.
After Fu Yi heard the old man's question, his face suddenly showed a trace of panic, and his face turned red all of a sudden, but it was a pity that the old man Ye Zhen, who was squinting his eyes, and Ye Weiguo and He An, who were playing against him, did not notice Fu Yi's expression, but all this was seen by Ye Yifan on the side.
"Uh...... Forehead...... Wang En led Xin'er to the neighborhood...... No...... Go to the countryside to board ...... Dingguo Temple incense also wished to go. Fu Yi explained in a low voice.
When Ye Yifan heard this, he was very happy in his heart, because he always instinctively didn't like that Aunt Wang and Sister Xin'er to use that kind of weird? Hateful? Envious? Greedy? It's nice to be able to stare at yourself and not see them for a day!
The three adults didn't care about Fu Yi's abnormality, "Wait a minute, we're going to finish this game soon!" Ye Weiguo said without raising his head.
"But! But ......" Fu Yi was anxious again, and his eyes turned around, "The old neighbors are waiting for the Weiguo brothers to take the lead in negotiating with them!" Don't you be afraid of the neighbors being in a hurry! ”
Ye Weiguo is right to think about it, the old man is highly respected, the neighbors are only looking at him, Ye Mansion is the largest and oldest mansion in this area, and it is the most special situation, and it is not good for everyone to wait if he doesn't go.
"Brother An, then let's go over first, and we'll play this game of chess in the evening!" Ye Weiguo said, got up and went back to the house to change clothes.
"Xiaofan, be obedient at home! Don't disturb grandpa for a nap! Do you want rock sugar gourd or sorbet? Uncle Ho will buy it for you when he comes back. Uncle He An asked dotingly rubbing Ye Yifan's little brain.
"Can you have both?" Ye Yifan glanced at his father who was coming out of the house, he shouldn't be able to hear their conversation, licked his lips, and asked in a low voice.
"You little glutton! Good! Uncle bought it for you! Uncle He An scolded with a smile and followed Fu Yi out of the corner gate with his father Ye Weiguo.
Seeing Fu Yi, who had closed the corner door, glanced at him with ill intentions, with a hideous smile on his face, Ye Yifan couldn't help but shiver and quietly retreated to his grandfather's side......
