Chapter 23 Returning the Favor

After a long time, the girl finally came out of her memory, pulled the box and walked to the airport express rail, she remembered that the last time she left here was a taxi, after a few years, Omi has been in the vicissitudes of life, there is a fast rail transit between the airport and the city, and the time and fare are saved by half.

Forty minutes later, the girl arrived at one of the most luxurious hotels in Omi City, the Four Seasons Hotel, and the front desk attendant had a professional smile on her face.

Hearing the waiter's English greeting, the girl was stunned, took out her wallet, under the transparent mezzanine is her previous ID card, with a young face, full of innocent eyes, and the name column is three words: Lan Huanxi.

Instead of taking out her ID card, she took out a passport with a blue cover to check in.

The waiter was a little proud, she guessed correctly, sure enough, it was a guest with a U.S. passport, and after typing in the name, she found that the guest had booked the presidential suite.

Because there is no VIP of the corresponding level, the presidential suite of the Four Seasons Hotel is closed all year round, of course, daily cleaning is a must, and the waiter immediately gestures to his colleagues to inform the lobby manager with his eyes.

It didn't take much effort, the lobby manager with the golden key logo on his shirt came quickly with a smile, he knew the inside story, the presidential suite was booked by the Russian oil oligarchs, the delegation of Baikal Oil and Gas Group, the identity of this young Chinese lady is not easy to guess casually, just according to the highest standard reception.

Lan Huanxi was hugged into the presidential suite, a woman and two men sitting on the sofa in the hotel lobby also put down the tablet in their hands and went upstairs, the woman's height is one meter eight, she is an athlete with Caucasian characteristics and a sturdy woman, both men are more than one meter nine tall, tiger back, cold eyes, they checked in an hour ago, both hold Russian passports.

Half an hour later, Huanxi changed his clothes and went out, and the lobby manager arranged a Mercedes-Benz to pick up VIPs early, but the guests took an ordinary taxi and went straight to Tie Slag Street.

Iron Slag Street is no longer a zĂ i, replaced by an urban green space, with birds singing and flowers, green grass, and high-rise buildings looming in the haze in the distance, which is the CBD European Garden in the south of the city.

Huanxi was stunned, how many times did she dream back at midnight, return to Sister Mei's cabin, and rehearse the scene of reunion after a long absence in her heart, but she didn't expect the ending to be so cruel.

The bodyguard stood far away, not daring to disturb her thoughts, and Huanxi stayed here for ten minutes and left silently.

Huanxi's next stop is Pingchuan's hometown, she went straight to the Omi Jinqiao wholesale market, where there is a long-distance bus station, buses to Pingchuan every half an hour, are privately contracted Jinlong, Daewoo and the like, passengers with goods purchased from the wholesale market, huge woven bags stuffed on the luggage rack, piled under the soles of the feet, the carriage is full of smoke, body odor and all kinds of inexplicable smell.

The last row of window seats, Huanxi chose here, that year she graduated from high school and was impersonated, the future is bleak, life is bleak, in order to help the family, maintain her younger brother's studies, eighteen-year-old Huanxi followed Sister Mei to the city to work, it is such a long-distance bus, but also the last row of window seats, she remembers that when the long-distance bus drove into Omi City, her eyes were not enough, rows of buildings, long queues of traffic, bustling and colorful crowds, this is the first time she saw the appearance of a big city.

Today, she has traveled to countless countries and cities, and has met countless people of race, ethnicity, and faith, and the most impressive thing is still the first time she arrived in Omi, which is so unforgettable and unforgettable.

The long-distance bus started slowly, and the fat and thick black conductor stretched out one arm outside the window and slapped the carriage and shouted: "Pingchuan is gone, Pingchuan is gone, there is a bit." ”

Someone waved to stop the car, the door opened, and a white woman jumped into the car with a vigorous step, and the people in the car looked at the strange foreigner curiously, wondering why she was in such a car.

The woman as strong as a Yanma bought a ticket, found a seat and sat down, the smell of her body was very strong, the smell of fox and the smell of perfume made the person next to her grin, and quickly lit a cigarette to fight poison.

The long-distance bus slowly drove out of the wholesale market, got on the overpass, went straight to the direction of Pingchuan, just out of the city, there were two men on the side of the road to stop the car, the hot day with a suit jacket in his hand, this is also a long-distance bus every day of the mandatory program, people who often travel on business know that these two are thieves.

The two thieves got into the car, sneakily stepped around, and soon fixed on Huanxi, when the thief's eyes were poisonous, he could see who had money and who didn't, the beauty sitting in the back row, although the clothes couldn't see the brand, but the texture was quite good, so the two tacitly squeezed to the last row, and squeezed out a position.

Thieves pickpocketing, all take advantage of the passengers' nap or absent-mindedness to start quietly, Huanxi's eyes have been looking out the window, the bags are all placed beside him, and the wallet and mobile phone are faintly visible in the open bag, just as one of them is about to start, the prey suddenly turned his head and shouted in a language they didn't understand.

The two thieves had no fear, the weak woman called every day should not be called the earth and the earth was not spiritual, stealing could not achieve hard robbery, and was about to play horizontally, the big ocean horse squeezed over, without saying a word, waved a big fist and slammed it down, punching one by one, and the two thieves were instantly put down.

The driver stopped the car, opened the door, and the Yanmar carried one in one hand and threw the two thieves out of the car.

There was a burst of applause, the coach continued to move forward, in the rearview mirror, the two were still lying on the road without moving, the driver said in his heart, he really fucking can pretend, but he didn't know how powerful the Russian women's boxing middleweight champion was under the blow, and the two thieves were beaten alive into concussions, but they were not pretended.

This is just a small episode on the way back to her hometown, and Huanxi doesn't pay attention to it at all, she is completely immersed in the memories of the past.

After the long-distance bus arrived in Pingchuan, Huanxi got into a taxi, and her personal bodyguard Natasha also followed.

"Go to Yucai Middle School." Huanxi said.

Pingchuan is a county-level city, the total number of places is so big, Yucai Middle School is there in the blink of an eye, Huanxi asked the driver to wait, got out of the car by himself, walked to the school gate, and looked at the teaching building through the iron railing.

In the college entrance examination that year, she was locked in the dormitory by the black-hearted teaching director, put sleeping pills in the meal, and slowed down the wall clock for two hours.

"Who are you looking for?" The old voice came from the communication room, it was still the doorman back then, he couldn't recognize Huanxi, but Huanxi remembered him.

"Uncle, I'm looking for you." Huanxi said.

The old man was very suspicious: "Looking for me?" You are? ”

Huanxi said: "I graduated from Yucai Middle School, and my name is Lan Huanxi. ”

The uncle suddenly realized: "I remember, the top student in the college entrance examination that year, 721 points, no one can surpass you today, come in and sit." ”

Huanxi walked into the communication room generously and chatted with the uncle, after so many years, the former shy country girl became extremely talkative, and soon got the information she wanted, and half an hour later, she said goodbye and left.

The next stop is Pingchuan No. 2 Middle School, the college entrance examination room of that year, there is little change here, and the examination room in memory is completely consistent, Huanxi still remembers that day it was raining heavily, he didn't wear shoes, he rushed into the examination room barefoot wearing a plastic poncho given by the doorman, and the rice did not enter at noon, and only drank a few mouthfuls of rainwater, so that he fainted with low blood sugar.

The entrance of the second middle school is full of traffic and pedestrians are in a hurry.

Huanxi is looking for that small supermarket, but the supermarket is no longer a zĂ i, it has become a restaurant, ask the boss, the boss is not clear, you better ask the landlord, I will give you a phone number.

After some tossing and turning, Huanxi finally got the phone number of the proprietress of the small supermarket, she dialed the number with excitement, and it rang for a long time before someone answered, and the voice was still familiar.

"Who?" The proprietress has a loud voice and is very bold.

"Excuse me, are you the aunt who opened a small supermarket at the gate of Pingchuan No. 2 Middle School?"

"yes, you are?"

"My name is Lan Huanxi, and I took the college entrance examination that year, and I spent a few days at your house."

"Oh, it's you, great, this girl is still thinking about me, where are you?" The proprietress was very excited, and kept talking, "I knew that you had a career, went to a university in Hong Kong, and then went abroad to work, by the way, I also moved, my son graduated from university, the Department of Architecture of Tongji University, and now works in Shanghai, I also came with me, and enjoyed the ......blessings of my son."

She kept babbling, and Huanxi had to interrupt her: "Auntie, I'm in Pingchuan now, and when I'm done visiting relatives, I'll go to Shanghai to see you." ”

"Okay, let's call."

The two people who were the easiest to find were found, and the next pair were the father and son who drove Huanxi to the examination room in a farm vehicle, Huanxi remembered the license plate number, which required going to the DMV to check the file.

The Pingchuan Vehicle Management Office is the entrance of the Yamen, how can ordinary people say that they can check the files, but if they have money, they can do things, and they give the taxi driver who drives Huanxi a big package, saying that his cousin works in the vehicle management office, a matter of one sentence.

Huanxi made a look, Natasha immediately took out a stack of cash, and the driver was about to pick it up, but Natasha pinched it.

"I understand, you will only receive money when you do it well." The driver scoffed.

Facts have proved that the driver did not brag, he really found the file of the agricultural vehicle, the owner is called Zhang Shugui, and his family lives in Zhangzhuang Village, Dadun Township.

Huanxi went straight to Zhangzhuang Village, found Zhang Shugui's house, but ate a closed door, the neighbor said, Zhang Shugui's son Zhang Shun committed homicide, was sentenced to death, the old Zhang and his wife said that their son was wronged, and he petitioned in the provincial capital all the year round, and the family's land was abandoned.

Unable to find anyone for the time being, Huanxi had to leave, Pingchuan's last stop was his own home, his younger brother died unjustly, the government in order to appease, allocated a resettlement house to the Lan family, and arranged a decent job for Lan's father, without worrying about food and clothing, in exchange for not making trouble, not petitioning, her parents accepted their fate, but Huanxi did not admit her fate, she was ashamed of her parents' compromise.

But parents are parents after all, although Huanxi has not been in contact with the family for many years, but since he has returned to China, he has to see his parents.
