Although Deng Yufang was a little surprised that Lu Xi had such good driving skills, he was still not at ease with Lu Xi driving alone, which had nothing to do with driving skills or driver's license, it was purely emotionally uneasy.
Seeing this, Lu Xi simply said, "Mom, why don't you go with me?" β
"I don't have anything to buy, what to do. Be careful yourself, drive slowly, go early and come back early. Deng Yufang instructed, after all, the child has grown up, and he will be released after all, what can he do if he is not at ease?
"I know, I'll be very careful, and I'll be back as soon as I buy the book." Lu Xi smiled, her mother's verbosity made her feel good.
"Wait a minute."
Lu Xi was about to drive on the road, Deng Yufang said a word, and then hurried into the house.
After a while, she walked out with her purse.
Lu Xi knew that her mother was in a hurry to get money for herself, and immediately said, "Mom, no need, I have money." β
"You don't need the money you screwed down to buy books, take it." Deng Yufang said, drew a few Taizu tickets of Hongtongtong, also known as the soft sister coin, and stuffed them into Lu Xi's hand, "Your third brother can make money, you don't need to help him save it, lest he make too much money and can't spend it and become bad." When you get to the town, you buy whatever you want to eat. β
Well, when men are rich, they become bad.
Lu Xi was speechless and helpless to put the money away.
"Today is Sunday, there will be no traffic police to check the car, pay attention to safety."
Lu Xi waved his hand, raised the window of the car, and headed towards the town.
It was noon, and the sun was so fierce that it seemed to scorch the earth, and even the air was scorched.
Obeying his mother's words, and also for his own safety, Lu Xi drove not fast, and the speed was about 30 kilometers per hour.
Along the way, from time to time, a young man rode a motorcycle whistling by, and the engine of the motorcycle made a deafening roar, and even she in the car could hear it clearly.
Motorcycles traveling at least over a hundred times per hour disappeared from sight in a matter of seconds. I have to say that these young people are too crazy and don't take their lives seriously.
Lu Xi shook her head, she was as calm as a mountain, and continued to maintain a constant speed of 30 kilometers per hour.
Ten minutes later, the car entered the center of the town, and there were more people and cars, and she immediately reduced her speed to less than 10.
Lu Xi didn't have much memory of the distribution of the town's commercial districts, so he could only drive around several commercial streets for a few minutes before he found a comprehensive shopping mall called "Qianfeng" that deals in books, hardware, daily necessities and other goods.
There was no parking space in the town, so she found an open space on the side of the street to park and turn off the fire.
There was an air conditioner in the car, and I didn't feel the heat outside, and as soon as I opened the door, the heat wave immediately surged like the Yangtze River.
Compared to the scorching heat outside the car, the freshness inside the car seems to be able to proudly claim that it is winter.
The hot and cold inside and outside the car changed too much, alternating too quickly, making Lu Xi, who had just gotten out of the car, feel slightly dizzy.
She couldn't help but quicken her pace and trotted into the Qianfeng Mall.
Although Qianfeng Shopping Mall claims to operate department stores and has everything, in fact, there are only a few hundred square meters on the first floor, and there is not even a central air conditioner, only several old-fashioned ceiling fans, like industrious little bees, buzzing and turning vigorously, bringing up a lot of wind, so that the shopping mall at the bottom can barely be called cool.
Guarding the cash register at the south gate was a male salesman named Ah Le, who was about 244 years old. Because there were not many people visiting the mall at this time, he was able to lean against the counter very casually, holding his chin and yawning listlessly.
It wasn't until a pure black car slowly drove up and greeted him through the glass door that he lifted his spirits a little.
Although there is no money to buy a car, but how can a man not love cars, he often browses major car websites to pay attention to famous cars, and recognizes the car outside the door that is as elegant as a black panther walking in the jungle is Daben S300.
A luxury car worth millions six or seven years ago, and it is still worth four or five hundred thousand now. Ah Le, whose eyes were full of envy, shook his head with some regret, this kind of car, if he were the owner of this shopping mall, he might barely be able to afford it, but he was just an employee of the owner of this shopping mall.
Although he is also the son of the owner of this shopping mall, his stingy and ruthless old man currently gives him a monthly salary of 2,099 yuan and nine cents, not considering the long-term matter of inheriting the inheritance in the future, only with his current salary and negative credit card balance, if he wants to afford this kind of luxury car, he will earn until the year of the monkey without eating or drinking.
It's out of reach!
But what is this car doing here, is it looking for the old man? Ah Le muttered in his heart, he didn't think that a guy with this kind of car would come here to buy something.
With this in mind, he expected that a middle-aged man with a big belly, still wearing trousers and shirts and a Mediterranean hairstyle on a hot day, would come down from his beloved Daben, because his old man and his old man's pig friends and dogs were so pitiful.
It is precisely because of this assumption that Ah Le, who looks handsome and thinks he is a little fresh meat, has a lot of psychological balance, otherwise he would be crazy with jealousy.
But reality quickly shattered his expectations, because he saw that after opening the car door, the first thing to come down from the driver's seat was a slender foot carved in pink.
Five toes, as tender as small pearls, neatly distributed on the apricot-colored flat-soled belt sandals, crystal clear in the sun, made him feel a little dazzling.
This couldn't help but make him expect more, and the result did not disappoint him, above the slender foot, is a bright and sultry calf, although the white and tender calf is not very slender, but the proportions are well-proportioned, slender and round, avoiding the dry texture.
The owner of the calf seemed to be a little afraid of the heat wave outside, and hesitated for two or three seconds, so that Ah Le, who was watching it on the side, couldn't wait to pick up the parasol and rush up with the fan.
It's out!
When Ah Le saw the owner of the calf, a girl wearing a white short T and a chiffon A-line skirt showing a little thigh, finally appeared in front of him, he felt that he was drinking a bowl of cold mung bean paste in this hot weather, oh no, it was poured down by a large bucket of ice water, and the whole person suddenly sobered up to the heart of Cheng DΓΉ.
There is still a girl in this world who looks so exquisite!
Looking at the slim and natural girl with stunned eyes, Ah Le's mind crossed the images of countless beautiful women that he had seen in reality, film and television, and the Internet, but found that none of them could be compared with this simple and cool girl with a plain face.
Such a girl, he has only seen in virtual two-dimensional.
Ah Le didn't stare at it for too long, because his slightly hot gaze was discovered by the girl, and then Ah Le, who was ashamed of himself, lowered his head, but those shocking deep eyes, as if engraved on his heart, lingered.
didn't dare to look directly, Ah Le had to use the peripheral vision of his eyes to observe.
"It's coming!"
Seeing the girl walking towards him, Ah Le was very excited, and he felt that today was his lucky day.
"She is like a budding snow lotus, walking from Mount Everest with ice and jade, but unfortunately, she only passed in front of me with Nana, leaving a faint breeze. Accompanying the fresh breeze is not the smell of cheap vulgar or expensive and elegant perfumes, but the fragrance of very pure (virgin). β
A Le, a literary and artistic young man who is like a urine insipidus, is ready to use this sentence when he scrolls through the blog later.
After making up his mind, his eyes wandered again, following the girl who walked into the mall and went straight to the bookshelf.
"Sure enough, I'm here to buy books."
Ah Le was inexplicably overjoyed.
The girl didn't seem to find the book she was looking for, so she rummaged through the rows of shelves and finally picked only one.
"It's here!"
Ah Le hurriedly took out his mobile phone and pretended to be playing with his mobile phone with nothing outside his mind.
"Boss, don't you have high school textbooks to sell here?" When the girl came, she spoke.
The voice was crisp and tactful, and Ah Le felt that his ears were blessed by heaven. At the same time, his gaze slid over the girl's delicate and flawless white jade hand, which was an unopened hardcover edition of "Guwen Guan Zhi".
But slowly, high school textbooks, she is a high school entrance examination graduate?
"You said you wanted to buy high school textbooks?" Ah Le asked suspiciously.
"Yes, mathematics, physics and chemistry." Girl mantis head micro dot.
"I'm sorry, this classmate, we only have teaching materials below junior high school in our store." Ah Le tried to keep his face from revealing any emotion, so as to make himself look cooler.
"Can you ask any bookstore in town that sells high school textbooks?"
"All the bookstores in the town don't sell high school teaching materials, but we only have junior high schools in the town, and if we take high school teaching materials, where can we sell them." Ah Le replied.
Isn't she a local? Yes, if it was such a beautiful local, how could I not have seen it. I said, how can such a delicate girl come out of the town again.
"Oh, I'm sorry I forgot about that." The girl finally remembered the fact that there were two middle schools in the town, but they were both junior high schools.
"It doesn't matter, if you really want to buy high school textbooks, you can go to Yunjiang, I have a friend who runs a bookstore in Yunjiang, where there are all kinds of teaching materials from kindergarten to university. This is his card, you have arrived in Yunjiang, you can call him and ask him, just say that I introduced it, and the price will be cheaper. β
"Thank you."
"You're welcome, it's only more than two hours for you to drive back and forth."
"Well, do you have rice paper to sell here?"
"Yes, which one do you want?"
"Fifty copies of raw and cooked propaganda are coming, and they are all five feet open."
β¦β¦
Seeing the girl drive away and never see it again, Ah Le sighed faintly: "Affection has been empty since ancient times, and this hatred lasts forever. once whipped a famous horse because of drunkenness, for fear of tiring the beauty. β
"Little Le, what are you looking at?"
Hearing a familiar voice and smelling a slightly pungent smell of perfume, Ah Le didn't have to look back to know that it was his colleague Ah Xiu. Although Ah Xiu didn't say his mind clearly, he knew it in his heart, but he didn't eat the grass next to the nest, he just wanted to find grass at the end of the world.
So he had to endure the pain and pretend not to know the mind of Ah Xiu, who was twenty-three years old and had beautiful facial features and a good figure.
"Nothing, gone." Ah Le replied unhappily.
Ah Xiu saw that he was still haunted by this look, and she was a little angry in her heart, she should have gone crazy with jealousy.
But she also saw the girl just now, and observed it clearly, not only was she so beautiful that she couldn't hate it even as a woman, but she also drove a good car that even Ah Le looked at here just to buy a book and a pile of broken papers, and her family background was undoubtedly very good, so that she couldn't even rise up jealousy.
So now she can only pretend to be unknown, and use a smiling tone to tease the object of her heart.
