Coincidentally, not long after the car left Wuzhou City, it encountered the Mercedes-Benz S350 on the road. I don't know if it's for safety reasons, or the people in the car don't like to speed too fast, S350 slowly and leisurely driving on the asphalt road, more like watching the scenery of the journey rather than rushing, Wen Cheng signaled Chang Cheng to slow down, lower the window when overtaking side by side, after a while, the other party also opened the rear window, revealing Xiang Ziyu's beautiful face.

Wen Liang smiled and nodded, even if he had said hello, he was about to close the window and leave, but he saw Xiang Ziyu stretch out his hand and point to the side of the road and make a stop gesture.

Well?

Wen Liang was a little surprised, but he still asked Chang Cheng to pull over, and the Mercedes-Benz S350 stopped. Xiang Ziyu changed his clothes, but the exquisite workmanship revealed low-key luxury, and the green silk hanging down his shoulders was simply tied behind his head with a hairband, revealing a small part of his white neck, elegant like a swan.

"Mr. Wen, what a coincidence, we met again."

Since that encounter in the hall, Wen Liang knew that Xiang Ziyu also lived in the same hotel, but he was busy with the operation of the Shenyu Company, and he lived in a simple place, so he never met again.

"Yes, I didn't expect Miss Xiang to go out of the city today." Wen Liang smiled at Assistant Liu, who came later, and turned his gaze back to Xiang Ziyu's face, waiting for her to speak.

"Mr. Wen is going back to Jiangdong?"

The two have only met a few times, and it is very abrupt to ask where others are going, Wen Yu couldn't understand her intentions, and said with a smile: "Yes, after coming out to play for so many days, it's time to go back." Miss Xiang, where are you going? ”

Xu is sunlight is dazzling, Xiang Ziyu squinted her eyes, and a few waves of faint wrinkles suddenly appeared between her delicate eyebrows, which looked very cute, and with her beautiful face, people couldn't help but be in a trance.

"I'm on the same road with Mr. Wen. I also went to Koto. It's just that we are new to the city, and Lao Wei is not very familiar with the environment, can we be cheeky and go with Mr. Wen? ”

Oh, first to Suhai, and then to Jiangdong, the line is in a hurry, what is the origin of this Miss Xiang, who is not rich or expensive at first glance?

Wen forgave the doubts in his heart, but on the surface, he naturally remained silent, let out a few enthusiastic laughs, and said, "That's really an honor!" ”

After that, he said two more words. Xiang Ziyu and his entourage wanted to go to Guanshan, and Wen Liang had to pass through Guanshan to return to Qingzhou, so one after the other, he drove to Jiangdong at a speed far slower than the average speed of various vehicles on the road.

There was nothing to say all the way, and when I arrived at the boundary of Changsi, the sun had gradually set in the west, if I had only Wen Forgiveness, I would buy some water and food on the side of the road at most, and then take advantage of the cool evening breeze to rush overnight. There is always a way to go, and there is no need to worry about security. They have traveled back and forth to Jiangdong Suhai many times, and they have never spent the night on the road, but this time they brought Xiang Ziyu and others. At first glance, it is arrogant and expensive, and it may not be able to endure the pain of long-distance travel.

The Audi pulled up against the side of the road, walked down gently, and waited for the Mercedes to approach. Went over and knocked on the car window. Xiang Ziyu was really tired, and asked strongly, "Mr. Wen, what's wrong?" ”

Wen Liang pointed not far ahead. Said: "Miss Xiang, I'm afraid I won't be able to get to Guanshan before dark." Now there are two options, one is a few kilometers ahead of a service station, you can take a break, have some dinner, and then we continue on the road, or keep driving forward, to Changsi City, get off the expressway, enter the city to find a hotel to settle down for a night, and wait for tomorrow morning to leave, you see? ”

For Xiang Ziyu, it is best to find a comfortable hotel to rest for a night, but since he said before that he would go with Wen and forgive them, he naturally couldn't take too much care of himself, and smiled: "Listen to Mr. Wen." ”

Wen Liang had delayed too much time in Su Hai, and he was really like an arrow, and he didn't care about pity and cherished the jade, and said, "Then go to the service station to have some food, rest for a while, and let's continue to hurry." ”

As the main artery of the highway connecting the north and south, the Beijing-Shanghai Expressway was fully opened to traffic in the mid-nineties, of which the Jiangdong section and the Suhai section were opened to traffic late, so the infrastructure is not perfect, more than 1,000 kilometers of the road is only two service areas, the cliff can be called this village, there is no this shop. Moreover, these two service areas are not the kind of private enterprises that have been integrated with catering, accommodation, refueling, maintenance and so on after the market-oriented reform, but are pure-bred state-owned enterprises that are planned and designed, requisitioned and constructed by the Department of Communications, and then handed over to the highway management department for operation and management.

However, no matter how bad the service level is, who makes the family have a monopoly position, there are so many people in the south and north of the world, as long as you take this road, and you don't want to be starved to death, you have to pinch your nose and admit it. So when Wen Liang drove them in, there were already a lot of vehicles parked in the wide parking area, mainly large trucks such as Dongfeng Jiefang, and occasionally a few small cars, which were also official cars.

The main body of the service area is just a row of bungalows with seven or eight rooms, built much larger than ordinary houses, on the left side of the room is a gas station and toilet for refueling, there are five rooms for accommodation, a large shop, a room can accommodate 20 people, but to provide a letter of introduction from the unit or a police station certificate, but this rule is in vain, no one strictly enforces it. The dining department is in a small room on the far right, which has four wooden tables and benches, and the food served is mainly steamed buns and noodles, even if there are many people, you don't have to wait too long, because one pot can hold ten bowls of noodles, it is a veritable big pot of rice, so you don't have to worry about the taste.

However, only four tables obviously can't meet the needs of dining, so there are more than a dozen tables in the open space outside, most of them are old drivers who run long distances, it is the middle of summer, there is not so much attention to going out, one by one take off their shirts, bare-chested, wearing shorts, and pulling slippers, either eating vegetarian noodles in a big gulp, or you are drinking beer while guessing fists, and there are a few women mixed with the men's pile, which should be family members in the car, or passengers who take a ride, is dealing with the verbal harassment of the surrounding lords with shame or indifference. These men occupied almost most of the table, gathered in a large circle, and outside the circle was a young couple with four little girls, the oldest no more than six or seven years old, and the youngest still lactating, with two woven bags stuffed with salutes by the legs of the table, dressed very plainly. There was also a table with four or five people in shirts and trousers, black leather briefcases on the table, and in addition to the fishy mutton noodles, two plates of boiled peanuts and cold lotus root slices suddenly made them taller, and they frowned from time to time to look at the noisy drivers here. There was a look of contempt and disdain in his eyes.

This is the most common scene on a trip in the 90s, and it is commonplace for both Wen and Changcheng, but it may not be a very pleasant experience for Xiangziyu who sees these for the first time.

Assistant Liu stood outside the crowd, smelling all kinds of peculiar smells coming from the end of his nose, couldn't help frowning, and said a little angrily: "This is the place you said to rest?" It's dirty! ”

Wen Liang smiled and didn't speak, Chang Cheng couldn't get used to this assistant Liu, and said in a weird way: "Yes." We poor people eat and live like this, Miss Liu has a high status, and she is going to be wronged today. ”

Assistant Liu's face was flushed, and he was about to return the favor, but he was scolded by Xiang Ziyu and said, "Liu Ya, apologize to Mr. Wen!" ”

"Humph!" Liu Ya turned her face away and muttered in Cantonese, "Uncle Cousin! ”

Wen Liang is a little ridiculous, he often ran to Lingnan and Mingzhu in his previous life. I don't know much Cantonese, but I still understand simple words, and I also understand that in this era, Pearl people look down on the mainland, and often use "Ah Can" and "Uncle Cousin" with a bit of discriminatory meaning. Just like the mainland later called Hong Kong people "Hong Kong Can".

It is also a very strange thing to say, the Chinese people are outsiders in foreign wars, and insiders in civil wars, especially the behavior of regional discrimination, which is extremely low per capita, has been vividly brought into play. Almost every province has its own "exclusive title", and some provinces even look down on each other, taking Suhai as an example. Southern Jiangsu and Northern Jiangsu are two worlds. The origin of this behavior is unknown, but it has been carried forward by some people who do not know whether it is because of the high resistance of the brain circuits or the long-term stagnation of the limbic system of the hypothalamus, and they are not ashamed but proud.

"Liu Ya, apologize to Mr. Wen!"

If Xiang Ziyu was a little spoiled in the reprimand last time, this time he was really angry. Liu Ya pouted, her eyes full of grievances flashed with tears, and she lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry!" ”

Wen Yu actually doesn't mind, with his mind, how can he be embarrassed by a girl, but this Liu Ya may not be as simple as Xiang Ziyu's help, she is quite spoiled.

"Yan zhòng!"

Wen Liang smiled and accepted Liu Ya's apology, because at this moment he did not represent himself, but thousands of mainlanders. Turned to Chang Cheng and said, "Go get a clean table, buy a few more instant noodles and ham, by the way, buy a few bottles of pure water." ”

There was no spare table due to overcrowding, but this little thing was not always easy, so he went to a table where three people were sitting, asked them to share the table with the diners at the next table, paid the price of five beers, and then cleared the table and stools.

"Miss Xiang, please sit down, the conditions here are simple, and there are one or two."

Xiang Ziyu hesitated, knowing that he couldn't pay attention to it outside, he smiled apologetically at Wen Liang, and was just about to take a seat, but Liu Ya took out a tissue from her bag and wiped the bench again, and at the same time squinted at Wen Liang, puffing out of anger.

Wen Liang deliberately didn't look at her, waited for everyone to sit down, and asked, "Miss Xiang, are you from Mingzhu?" ”

Xiang Ziyu tilted his head and said strangely, "How can Mr. Wen see it...... Ah, I'm sorry, Liu Ya was so rude just now. She Bingxue was smart, and instantly understood that Wen Yu understood what Liu Ya said just now, "Uncle Cousin", so she guessed that she was a pearl person.

Seeing that this beauty who has always been down and generous showed a little embarrassed look, Wen Liang was also happy, and said: "It's okay, it's just a title, in fact, it's a generation older, and it feels good." ”

The latter words were said to Liu Ya, and she also heard the gentle ridicule, and she was even more embarrassed in her heart, so she turned her head and said nothing.

After a while, Chang Cheng bought instant noodles and ham and handed it to Dawei to help brew it, as for the pure water, as expected, it was still produced by Yishan, and Wen Cheng secretly said in his heart: Do you want to give some bonuses to Yishan's marketing department after you go back?

"Boss, I think the mutton noodles here are good, why don't you have a bowl?"

Wen Liang nodded, with their physique, they couldn't last a night just by eating some instant noodles, and said, "Go ahead, cut two catties of mutton, and by the way, I will order steamed buns." ”

As for whether it is clean or not, he is not as particular as Xiang Ziyu!

"Okay!"

When the noodles are ready to be served, Xiang Ziyu and Liu Ya's instant noodles only ate a small half, Liu Ya is pounding while eating, as if the instant noodles are the object of the blow, but Xiang Ziyu is eating in small bites.

"Incense!"

Chang Cheng is eating noodles yoly, he doesn't care whether he is sitting opposite a beautiful woman or a distinguished guest, eating comfortably is his own business. However, this kind of eating appearance made Da Wei on the other side look at it with a blank eye, and he couldn't help but swallow a few mouthfuls of spit, but he didn't dare to open his mouth about the instant noodles that his young lady ate.

While eating, there were a few arguments not far away, Wen Liang looked up, the woman who was still breastfeeding just now was being pulled to a remote dark corner by a fat driver with a beer bottle in his hand, the woman seemed to be struggling a little, and her husband was sitting at the table with the baby in his arms.

Motionless! (To be continued......)
