Chapter 85: An Unexpected Gain
"No, no, no, if you're like this, don't we have to pay for your car as a family?" Chang Fengying hurriedly waved her hand and said with a sincere face, "This dried mushroom is really worthless to us mountain people, and it will be all over the mountains when it rains." ”
"This thing is not worth much in your mountains, but it is quite expensive in our city. A pound can be sold for fifteen, mainly because it is not easy to buy. The driver sighed.
Fifteen pounds?
The corners of Chang Fengying's mouth twitched slightly.
If they are willing to carry these dried mushrooms all the way to the county to sell them for only seven or eight yuan a catty. If someone comes directly to the village to collect it, it is cheaper, and when it is more than four or five yuan, it is five or six yuan a catty......
She sighed inwardly.
At this time, she could see that the driver in front of her was not a person who liked to take advantage of others, so she didn't say that she didn't charge money at all, but said: "Then let's take a step back, my two bags are almost a pound together, and I'll charge you ten yuan, right?" ”
"Okay."
The driver readily agreed this time. He thought that he only used ten yuan to carry this family to get three packs of one and a half pounds of dried mushrooms, even if the quality of these dried mushrooms was not very good, he earned it himself--
So everyone was happy for a while. At that moment, the driver looked at them and said in a good mood: "Forget it, don't sit in the back of the car." There is also a back seat in my car where I usually sleep, and you should be able to sit down if you don't dislike crowding. ”
"Don't dislike, don't dislike."
Chang Fengying is overjoyed, who wants to sit in the front and bask in the back?
She hurriedly thanked the driver and took Cao Fengnian into her hand and hugged it. After Ji Kuan put the large luggage on the rear body and fixed it, the whole family got into the cab in front.
As soon as they got into the car, several people saw that there were two rows in the cab, and there was an independent and quite wide seat in the front passenger seat. The bench attached to the back was not small, but there was a roll of futon that the driver had just rolled up.
Let Ji Wan sit in front of Ji Zhanpeng, and Chang Fengying took Ji Aizhen, Ji Beibei and Cao Fengnian, who had been coaxed to sleep again, to sit behind.
In order to learn more about the outside world, as soon as it was done, Chang Fengying began to take the initiative to find a word to chat with the driver: "Big brother, when will we be in the city, can we get there in the evening?" ”
"Evening?"
The driver smiled, stared ahead without squinting, carefully controlled the steering wheel in his hand and said, "Where is the evening, at least it will be midnight today." ”
"How far is it to the city?" Chang Fengying was taken aback again, and couldn't help asking, "Then if you go to the province, won't it be farther?" ”
"Not really." The driver nodded, "If you choose to take a car from the city to the province, it will take at least a day and a night." But if only the train was much faster, one day would be enough. ”
He: "I'll take you to the train station in the evening and put it down, there is a guest house next to it, you can stay overnight and want to make a train, you can buy a train ticket early tomorrow morning, and you will be able to get to the provincial capital almost tomorrow evening; If you don't want to take the train, you can take the car, and the bus station is next to the train station anyway. ”
Chang Fengying "......"
She hadn't traveled far before, and she had no idea how long it would take her own territory to reach the city and the provincial capital.
She thought that the city and province were far away from her own Yuanbao Village, but she really didn't expect it to be so far. The gap between her and what she originally thought was that as long as she could get on the bus, she would be able to reach the provincial capital at night if it went well. This result made her a little dumbfounded.
In fact, after hearing the driver's words, not only Chang Fengying was dumbfounded, but everyone else in the Ji family except Ji Beibei was also a little dumbfounded.
But no matter how far the road is, can the people of the Ji family still say that they can't go?
So everyone was a little silent for a while.
"This youngest is your son? Why did you get too frightened? Chang Fengying didn't speak, but the driver couldn't help but ask curiously.
Chang Fengying came back to his senses and waved his hand: "No, this is my nephew." Alas, it's not a serious nephew either. It's that his own father and my man used to be good brothers. ”
"Huh?" The driver was surprised, "Then why did you take him out to see a doctor?" What about his own father and mother? ”
"Well, don't mention it." Chang Fengying sighed, "It's all gone, this child has a hard life, he was taken out by his parents to go out to visit relatives two years ago, but the car overturned under the ravine, and his parents protected him desperately--"
told Cao Fengnian's experience over the years, including that he was abused by his grandfather, grandmother, and uncle because he became a fool...... and then Ji Zhanpeng fell into the water and was rescued, so Cao Fengnian was also kindly adopted by Mu Chen and fostered in their home.
Chang Fengying said emotionally, and the driver was strangely sad when he heard it, and his tears almost fell several times. was sad and angry at the same time, and couldn't help but scold Cao Fengnian's so-called relatives. Then looking at the Ji family's eyes, they all began to be different.
Thinking of this family's kindness, they don't dress very well, and it can be seen that they are not in good condition.
But this is the kind of person who can do his best for a bitter child who is fostered in their home, without parents and even grandparents. Even if he really took the poor children to the provincial capital to see a doctor, he couldn't help but look at them several times.
So the driver along the way not only had a better attitude towards the Ji family, but also wrote a note to Chang Fengying: "This has my license plate number, if you come to the city again in the future, you will wait at the same time as on Tuesday and Friday every week, and I will pass by at that time." ”
"Big brother, thank you so much. We really can't say that we're going to trouble you in the future. ”
This was a bonus.
Chang Fengying thought of the dry goods that her family was still on the mountain, and immediately thanked the driver happily. Of course, she didn't mean to use others in vain, thinking that since he was rare with his own dried mushrooms, he would also like other mountain goods, and she would give him more mountain goods in the future, or sell them cheaply to him.
Chang Fengying thanked him, and the rest of the Ji family thanked the driver one by one.
The driver was a little embarrassed when he was thanked: "It's not troublesome." That's by the way, and it's boring for me to drive alone. After a long time, it is easy to get sleepy and dangerous. There are more people sitting up, and I can be more energetic. ”
The journey to the city went smoothly, and it was almost one o'clock in the evening. The driver really took a detour to take the Ji family to the door of the guest house near the train station before leaving.
"Taking a child to the doctor? Do you have a certificate from the village? ”
In the hall of the guest house, a young girl looked very unhappily at the few countrymen in front of her who were dressed rustically and woke her up, frowned and said impatiently: "Go out without a certificate, we can't do this accommodation without a certificate." ”
