Chapter 31: Twists and Turns (2nd Update)
Ou Yangmingmei thought about it and still connected the phone.
Sure enough, just as Ou Yangmingmei thought, as soon as she connected the phone, she hadn't yet spoken, and Gao Yang's anxious voice came from the phone: "Mingmei, are you at home now?" ”
"Oh yes, I'm home now, what's wrong?" Ou Yangmingmei slightly blocked a little microphone with her palm and said.
"I seem to have taken the wrong key when I went to work today, and I got your key, if you are at home, help me find it, see where my key is, I will go back and get it right now." Gao Yang said.
Gao Yang's company is not far from home, and the fastest drive is about 20 minutes.
If Gao Yang comes back now, then she will definitely be too late to rush home.
"Yes, don't worry, I'll help you find it. But are you sure you forgot your keys at home? Did you forget it at work or in the car? Because I didn't see your key in the hallway. Ou Yangmingmei asked rhetorically, trying to confuse Gao Yang's memory.
"I don't remember, in this case, I'll ask at the company first, and then go to the car to look for it, and you can help me find it at home first." Gao Yang replied.
"Well, good. If you find it, I'll call you and you will come back, otherwise even if you come back and don't find the key, it will be a trip in vain. Ou Yangmingmei proposed.
"Well, yes, okay, you find it and call me, I'll look elsewhere first." Gao Yang said.
"yes, okay." Ouyang Mingmei said and hung up the phone.
Then, with a long sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Gao Yang didn't notice anything.
However, time is of the essence and there is no time to waste.
Otherwise, this morning would have been really in vain.
Ou Yangmingmei got up from the stool and asked the middle-aged woman, "When will the boss come back?" I have to go back in a hurry, there is something going on at home. ”
"Right away, right away." The woman said with a smile on her face.
At this time, someone suddenly walked in, and Ou Yangmingmei looked up and saw that it was a thin and small man, not young, thirty or forty years old.
"Oh, you're back, hurry up, there's someone waiting for the key!" The woman held the child in her arms and hurriedly took the food from the man's hand.
"Ugh." The middle-aged man replied with a smile, wiped his slightly wet palm on his big pants, smiled at Ou Yangmingmei, and said, "Give me the key." ”
"Oh, here you go, with the same handful." Ouyang Mingmei handed the bunch of keys in her hand to the middle-aged man.
"Then you sit down for a while, and you'll be fine right away." The middle-aged man took the key, looked at it carefully one by one, took out the keys of the same mold from the string of key templates hanging on the machine with the key, put it on the machine and began to copy the key.
"Squeak...... Squeak......"
The gears of the machine rotated rapidly, and the shape of the key soon began to show its outline, and after the machine was polished, the middle-aged man put the two keys together and carefully compared them, found that they were slightly different, and picked up the file to re-polish it.
He is a craftsman who does fine work and is serious.
Ou Yangmingmei smiled slightly, very approvingly.
But it takes a lot of time to match the keys in this way, and it takes several minutes for the middle-aged man to match two keys, and if it goes on like this, it will take more than ten minutes to match all the keys on the Gaoyang key ring.
Over there in Gaoyang, I'm afraid I can't wait so long!
Ou Yangmingmei's heart, which had calmed down, became impatient again, and she urged the middle-aged man again and again.
"Big sister, this key is not in a hurry, the key is not good, you can't unlock it when you take it back, and you have to run for nothing." The middle-aged man smiled and said.
Ou Yangmingmei was embarrassed to urge again, so she had to smile and said, "There is something at home, I have to go home quickly, the trouble is a little faster." ”
"yes, okay." The middle-aged man agreed, but the work in his hand did not mean to speed up.
Ou Yangmingmei stomped his feet in a hurry.
The phone rang again, Ou Yangmingmei glanced at it, palmed the microphone, and pressed the answer button.
"Did you find it? I searched for it in the company and in the car, but I didn't find the key, I remember that I should have brought the key back after work yesterday, and you should look for it at home. Gao Yang said anxiously.
"Oh, okay, I'll look for it again." Ou Yangmingmei whispered.
"Hey, Akemi, are you home now? How do I hear you being so noisy over there? Gao Yang seemed to hear the sound of the key-matching machine polishing the key, and asked suspiciously.
"yes, I'm at home." Ouyang Mingmei uneasily handed the mobile phone from her left hand to her right hand, and whispered: "It's the sound downstairs, it has been tinkling, as if it is being renovated." ”
"Oh, that's right." Gao Yang was still a little skeptical.
At this time, the baby in the arms of the middle-aged woman cried out of place, whining, and the sound resounded through the roof.
Ou Yangmingmei was startled, and the phone in her hand almost slipped.
"How can there be a child's cry?" Gao Yang became suspicious again.
"TV, it's the sound of TV, I was watching TV just now, and I forgot to turn it off." Ou Yangmingmei said, hurriedly walked out a few steps, and walked out of the narrow door of the shop.
There is a thick strip of plastic mosquito curtains hanging at the door of the shop, and you can't hear the cries of children when you go out.
Gao Yang's doubts were dispelled, but he still said dissatisfiedly: "Let you find the key, and there is still time to watch TV!" Hurry up and find me the keys, don't waste any more time, I'll go back right now, preferably before I get home! ”
"Okay, I got it." Ou Yangmingmei whispered, and then hung up the phone in a hurry.
Back in the shop, the middle-aged man was matching the last key, and he saw that it was all done.
Ou Yangmingmei let out a long sigh of relief.
"Alright, here you go." The middle-aged man wiped the metal residue on the key, blew it with his mouth, and then handed the original key and the matching key to Ouyang Mingmei.
"Thank you, boss." Ouyang Mingmei stuffed the matching key into her pocket and asked, "How much?" ”
"One key is five, a total of eight keys, a total of twelve." The middle-aged man said with a humble face.
Ouyang Mingmei paid the money, and didn't even have time to ask for the change recovered, and then ran out in a panic.
"Looking for your money." The middle-aged man ran out and shouted anxiously at Ouyang Mingmei's back.
Ouyang Mingmei couldn't take care of it at this time, just thinking about going home quickly.
Gao Yang had already said on the phone just now that he was already on his way home, if he didn't hurry up, Ou Yangmingmei was afraid that he would really not be able to get home before Gao Yang.
trotted all the way, ignoring the breathlessness and beads of sweat on his face, but when Ouyang Mingmei arrived at the gate of the community, he saw Gao Yang's black Magotan car, which was slowly driving over.
Oops, it's still a step slower!
Ou Yangmingmei tightly grasped the set of keys in her hand.
