Wu Dao spent the whole winter vacation very dull, and felt that the New Year was very boring, so he wanted to go back to Jeju early.

The start date of Gaoyang Middle School, where Si Baifang works, was originally a few days earlier than Jeju University, and she planned to go back three days earlier, and she also told Wu Dao the date of her return to Jeju. Wu Dao decided at that time that he would go back the day before Si Baifang returned to Jeju, so that he could pick her up at the Jeju train station when Si Baifang returned.

The day before departure, Oh Dao and his family said that his tutor had something to do with him and asked him to return to Jeju University tomorrow. In the eyes of the Wu family, those who can be graduate tutors in the university are all god-like figures, and they must do whatever they say immediately. Although they didn't know what the tutor was looking for Wu Dao, they thought that it must be related to doing research and learning, which was a very unfathomable thing, and they didn't even need to ask, because even if they asked, they couldn't understand or understand. The only thing they are worried about is that Jeju University has not yet opened, and there will be no place for Wu Dao to live when he returns. Wu Dao said to his family:

"You don't have to worry about accommodation, every year during the winter and summer vacations, there are many students who don't go home and live in the school during the holidays."

"What are they doing in school if they don't go home?" Li Mei said.

"Some of them are too far away to buy tickets and can't go back, and some of them work in Jeju during the holidays and still live in the school dormitory every day. It's the same with other universities. Many graduate students already have jobs, some have to do experiments, and even more live on campus during the holidays. I also live in the dormitory when I go back. Wu Dao said.

"It's not so difficult to get into college, it turns out that there are so many benefits in college, unlike these schools in the county, which are not allowed to live during the holidays. The mentor told me to go back, and Xiaodao will hurry back tomorrow. Wu He said.

The next morning, Wu Dao rode a tricycle to the Qicheng County bus station with Li Mei and his luggage. After Wu Dao got on the car, Li Mei rode back to Xiaohuangzhuang on a tricycle. Wu Dao drove Li Mei, who was riding a tricycle on the road, through the car window, and he suddenly realized that he had lied and left home early, which was a disservice to his family.

It was already noon when Oh Dao returned to the Jeju University dormitory, and there was no one else in the dormitory at that time. He put his luggage away and went downstairs again to eat.

After eating, Wu Dao had nothing to do, so he went to a bookstore in front of the school and walked around. He saw that there were two books, "Selected Poems of Pushkin" and "The Biography of Li Qingzhao", and suddenly remembered that Si Baifang also liked Pushkin and Li Qingzhao, so he bought them and planned to give them to her when he went to the train station to pick up Si Baifang the next day. After buying the book, Wu Dao walked around the school again, and then returned to the dormitory to read.

In the evening, Wu Dao called Si Baifang:

"Baifang, I'll pick you up at the train station tomorrow, what time will your car arrive?"

"Have you already returned to Jeju?" Si Baifang said.

"I arrived at noon. It was almost the start of school, and I had nothing to do at home, so I came back early. ”

"I see. My train will arrive at 3 p.m. tomorrow. If you're coming to pick me up, don't come too early. ”

"Okay. See you tomorrow at the train station. ”

"See you tomorrow."

In the afternoon of the next day, Wu Dao put the two books he bought the day before in a handbag, and specially put on the shoes that Si Baifang made for him, and then took the bus to the train station. When I walked from the bus stop to the front of the train station, it was already 2:50. Wu Dao called Si Baifang to ask if the train was late, and Si Baifang told him that the train could arrive on time.

There were more than a dozen taxis parked in the square in front of the train station, and thinking that it was inconvenient for Si Baifang to take the bus with his luggage, Wu Dao decided to hire a taxi to go back. He walked up to a taxi that was relatively close to the exit and said to the driver inside:

"I came to pick people up at the train station and the train will be there in a few minutes. We are two people, go to Gaoyang Middle School, how much does it cost? ”

"Twenty bucks." Said the driver.

"Okay." Wu Dao generally knew the charge for this journey, and twenty yuan was a more reasonable price.

"Then let's say it, I won't pull others, wait a while, you will come directly to take the car after you pick up the person. If I see you first, I'll drive there. ”

"Okay."

"You put the handbag in the car first, or it won't be convenient to pick up the luggage later."

Wu Dao thought about it, what the driver said also made sense, he was holding a handbag in his hand, and it was very inconvenient to help Si Baifang carry the suitcase for a while, so the driver said this, probably because he was afraid that he would get into someone else's car after a while, let him wait in vain, and leave a little thing for him, he was relieved, leaving the handbag in the car, for himself and the driver, it was a convenient thing for both of them. Thinking of this, Wu Dao also handed over the handbag to the driver and asked the latter to keep it for the time being, and then walked to the exit of the station empty-handed, where he waited for Si Baifang.

Ten minutes later, Si Baifang walked out with her suitcase. Wu Daozhen wanted to run over and hug her and kiss her, but he still held back. He walked over to take Si Baifang's suitcase and backpack, and when he saw that the jade bracelet he gave Si Baifang was still wearing on her hand, he felt a little sweet in his heart.

Although Wu Dao told Si Baifang in advance that he would pick her up at the train station, when he really saw Wu Dao, Si Baifang still looked very surprised:

"Wu Dao, I'm so happy that you can pick me up, really, you are my most important friend in this world."

"You are also my most important friend in this world." Wu Dao took Si Baifang's suitcase and said.

"A few days ago, when I was at home, I dreamed that the jade bracelet you gave me was broken, I was frightened and cried very sadly, but fortunately it was just a dream. I'll always wear this jade bracelet, and if it does break one day, I'm probably out of this world. ”

"Baifang, don't say such things again, this is just an ordinary jade bracelet, if it breaks, I will buy a new one for you. If you break ten, I'll give you ten, and if you break a hundred, I'll give you a hundred. The shoes you gave me are still wearing them. When my shoes wear out, I want you to make me another pair. ”

"Hmm. These shoes are a little small, and I didn't know that the sole size of the shoes I bought on the market was too small until I gave them to you. You definitely don't wear these shoes properly, but you're still wearing them, all to make me happy. I'll make another pair for you next winter. If you like, I'll make you a pair of shoes every year. ”

"Then let's talk about it, and it's a deal."

"It's a deal."

"We had our luggage with us and it was not convenient to take the bus. I booked a taxi and it was right outside. ”

"Okay."

As soon as Wu Dao and Si Baifang walked out of the exit of the station, a taxi drove over. All the taxis in Jeju have the same appearance, and Wu Dao thought that the driver he had just negotiated saw him and drove the car over, so he didn't think about it, so he and Si Baifang got into the car. The driver asked them:

"Where are you going?"

"Gaoyang Middle School." Si Baifang said.

The taxi drove forward. Wu Dao and Si Baifang chatted about the two of them at home during the winter vacation. When he was about to arrive at Gaoyang Middle School, Wu Dao suddenly remembered that he hadn't given the two books he bought to Si Baifang, so he said to the driver:

"Master driver, where did you put the handbag I handed you just now?"

"You didn't give me a handbag?" Said the driver.

"Just now, when I was at the train station, I booked your car, and you asked me to put the handbag in your car first, and then I went to the station to pick up the people, did you forget?"

"When did you book my car? I was waiting at the train station to pull people, and when I saw you coming out, I drove the car over, and then you got on the train. Do you see I'm the driver you said I am? ”

The driver turned his head to look at Wu Dao, and then Wu Dao noticed that the driver and the one he had just agreed with were really not the same person. Wu Dao said to the driver:

"I said yes to the driver, and when he saw us coming out, he drove over to pick us up. What are you doing when you come up to pick us up? ”

"Young man, this is your fault, our drivers are all pulling people like this. Why didn't you just get in the car without asking me? ”

Wu Dao thought about the driver's words, this matter was indeed his own negligence, no wonder the driver. Si Baifang said to Wu Dao:

"What's in that tote bag, is it valuable?"

"It's not expensive, it's just the two books I bought for you, and I was thinking of giving them to you when I picked you up. I don't know if I'll be able to get it back. ”

The two of them were still talking, and the car had already driven to Gaoyang Middle School. The driver said to them:

"When you arrive, do you get off the train first, or will I pull you back to the train station?" But if you want me to say, two books are not a precious thing, and if you don't want them, you don't want them. It's been so long, that driver can't wait for you all the time, and he must have picked up another customer. Even if you go back to the train station, you can't find him. ”

Wu Dao felt that what the driver said was very reasonable, so he said to Si Baifang:

"Baifang, let's get out of the car."

"That's it. Wu Dao, I don't want those two books, you don't have to think about it anymore. Si Baifang said.

Wu Dao paid for the car, and the two got out of the taxi. Si Baifang was a little tired after a long bus and train ride, so Wu Dao sent her to the dormitory to rest, and then took the bus back to Jeju University.

After returning to his dormitory, the more Wu Dao thought about it, the more awkward he felt. He had a habit of listening to the radio, and then he suddenly remembered that the traffic radio had a program dedicated to broadcasting lost and found information, so he looked up the phone number of that program on the Internet and called it. After the call was connected, Wu Dao said to the phone editor:

"I left a handbag in a taxi at the train station around 3 p.m., and the bag contained two books I had just bought, hoping to help find them."

"Are those two books "Selected Poems of Pushkin" and "The Biography of Li Qingzhao"?" The phone editor said.

"yes, how do you know?"

"A driver just called us and said that a passenger had left these two books in his car. The driver left the phone number and you can contact him directly. ”

The phone editor told Wu Dao the driver's phone number, and he immediately called. The phone went through, and the driver said:

"Who are you?"

"I'm the one who booked your car this afternoon, and I put the handbag in your car."

"You're the one who said I'd come out in a few minutes, and I waited for you at the train station for thirty minutes, and I didn't see you come out. Where have you been? ”

"I took another taxi and left."

"Didn't we say yes? Why didn't you say a word to me and just take someone else's car and leave? ”

"I picked up someone, and as soon as I walked out of the station, a taxi came by. All the taxis looked the same, I thought it was your car, so I got in. ”

"There's got to be a story about it. I waited for you for thirty minutes in vain, and missed several jobs. ”

"You can figure it out."

"Where are you?"

"I'm at Jeju University."

"Well, one of the people in my car who is pulling right now also happens to be going to Jeju University. When you get there in a moment, I'll give you your stuff. ”

"Thank you."

"But I can't give it to you in vain, I've waited for you so long. In this way, when you order a car, we say that it will be 20 yuan, and you can give me 20 yuan. ”

Wu Dao spent sixty yuan to buy those two books, and now the driver only needs twenty yuan, he is naturally willing, not to mention that he is not reasonable in this matter, so he said:

"Okay. Give me a call when you arrive at Jeju University. ”

Ten minutes later, Wu Dao retrieved the two books from the driver.

The next morning, Wu Dao rode a bicycle to Gaoyang Middle School and gave Si Baifang the two books he had recovered. Si Baifang liked those two books very much, and listened to Wu Dao talk about the process of getting the books back, and felt that this gift was even more precious.
