Endel quickly stopped a taxi for Carbine, and when Carbine handed Endel a small bill out of his usual state of mind, Endel still waved his right hand and said nothing, which meant that he would not break the rules set by his supervisor to death, and even made the action of asking Carbine to get into the car.

Carbine smiled politely, didn't say anything more, put the small bill back in his trouser pocket, and then when he got into the back compartment, Endel casually helped him close the car door, and then communicated with the driver for a few seconds in the local language that Carbine did not understand, and finally turned back to Carbine: "Mr. Carbine! Rest assured! I've already told the driver. ”

Carbine's intuition was that such a service was very comfortable, he simply said thank you, and Endel hurriedly ran back to his own post, and soon stood in front of the hotel in high spirits, which was by no means like a person who had just finished the night shift, and Carbine saw it at a glance, and admired Endel's work attitude.

"Young people! Can we go? The driver said this, which made Kabine come back to his senses, and remembered that the driver was still an old mother-in-law, dressed as she should be, with half a black hair in her hair, and a pair of reading glasses on the wrinkled bridge of her nose, all of which were extremely incommensurate with the driver's seat of a taxi.

It was very strange for him to remember that he had never taken a taxi driven by an old woman, and that he had forgotten to answer the old woman, so that the old woman reminded him again, and he said like an idiot: "Yes! We're ready to go! ”

"But young man, if you don't wear a seatbelt, I won't drive." The old woman said. His face was very friendly, and he glanced at Kirbyne from the rearview mirror in the car. This made Kirbine quickly say 'sorry' and quickly fastened his seat belt. After that, he sat down properly.

When the taxi drove out for a few minutes, Carbine found that the old woman's driving skills were by no means ordinary, although the old woman in her old age, except that she was no longer young, all other actions were not a little old, if Carbine could close his eyes and feel the operation of the taxi with his buttocks, then he would have the feeling of a professional driver driving the car.

Immediately afterward, curiosity welled up. It is difficult for Carbine to imagine that an old man who should live a comfortable life is willing to go out to work in society, and he does not understand why the old woman came out to work for, in short, Carbine admires the old woman, and even wants to praise the old woman as a young junior.

But Kirbine did not dare to take the initiative to speak, out of the most primitive awe of his elders, he sat in the back compartment as never before, and he usually took a taxi and played with his mobile phone. At this time, she didn't even dare to put her hands indiscriminately, knowing in her heart that she was not wearing a seat belt just now, you can see that the old woman is not only stubborn, but also by no means a simple character.

The subtle movements of Kabine did not escape the eyes of the old woman. After the taxi turned onto a wide road, the old woman finally said, "Young man! You're my customer, so don't be so inhibited. I can seat four people in the back compartment, so you can relax! Are you afraid of my presbyopia? Driving improperly? Hum! I'll tell you, when I learned to drive. I'm afraid your grandfather isn't married yet! ”

After hearing this, Kirby made a rough calculation in his heart, and felt that the old woman should be over 70 years old, but since the old woman took the initiative to open the topic, he naturally asked, "It's okay!" I just woke up very early and wasn't very focused, so let me ask...... Mother-in-law, you should be 70 years old, right? ”

"76 years old! Don't call me too young, do you think I can still go to a beauty pageant? The rules of the beauty pageant are limited, and I am 50 years old, so I am not eligible. The old woman said this, smiling slightly, and waited for Kabine's response.

And Carbine was really relaxed, and he wanted to say that it was absolutely easy to approach such a humorous old woman who could talk back, so he tried to continue the conversation, and asked, "Mother-in-law! Shouldn't you retire at your age? Why do you still come out to work? Besides, driving a taxi is so hard, the body must not be able to accept it. ”

After hearing this, the old woman said with a hint of pride on the corner of her mouth: "Young man! When I was young, I worked in an agency for decades, until they forced me to retire, I re-took an exclusive taxi driver's license, and then bought a taxi, and I would drive freely wherever I wanted to pick up customers every day, anyway, you let me hide at home like a fool every day, so I will not compromise, and the last time I went to the hospital for a physical examination, the attending doctor also said that I could go skydiving, speaking of which...... I'd love to find some time to skydive, how about you? Have you ever jumped a parachute? ”

"Nope! No! I wasn't interested in trying it because it was horrible! Kabine waved his right hand and said in his heart that God really shouldn't have given the old woman such an age, otherwise the old woman would have more time to do things that she had not done in her life.

The old woman shook her head and said with a pitiful face: "Young man! If I hadn't been restricted by the orders of my commander in the army back then, I wouldn't have been just an ordinary female soldier in the logistics group, but a female paratrooper who could be ready at the front line. ”

"Mother-in-law! You used to be a female soldier? Carbine's mouth was round, and he said in his heart that a retired old woman who might have driven a military vehicle was now in a taxi to pick him up, and the feeling was indescribable, and he was completely stunned without blinking for a long time.

Naturally, the old woman's smug look became more and more obvious, she seemed to be driving a taxi very seriously, but her mouth said: "I have lived a full life every day for three years of military service, and after I retired from the army, I worked in the former institution for decades, and now I drive a taxi every day, working freely while continuing to enrich the rest of my life." ”

Cabine listened very carefully, he said "um", admired the old woman even more, and said: "Mother-in-law! I'm a little touched by what you said, it looks like I'm really going to try skydiving, and I have to learn your 'live to be old, work to be old' mentality, so that life will be more fulfilling, right? ”

The old woman said "um", stretched out her thumb, and said, "Yes! Retirement is not only equivalent to the end of decades of hard work, but also equivalent to the early end of the rest of their life, as long as an elderly person like me can get up from the soft bunk the next day, then the first thing to do is to let yourself work, so that the rest of the days will continue to exude meaning!
