41. Fog
After a happy banquet, the affairs at home have been dealt with, and it is time for Zhao Yuankang to return to the city.
It just so happened that the next day was a single day (October 25), and Shoko's car was unlimited and could be driven.
The next morning, a heavy fog fell from the sky, to be exact, haze, a fog that obscured the sky and the sun, blocking the entire sky, and the world in front of him was only gray and chaotic.
"Kangzi, it's so foggy, let's wait and talk about it, or don't go back." His mother persuaded.
"Wait, but I can't help but go back, there are a lot of things over there, and Ruoxi is under a lot of pressure. If you don't go back today, tomorrow you will have a limited number, and you will have to delay for another day. Must go back today. ”
Although he cherishes the plain and warm rural life, he also deeply feels the responsibility on his shoulders, if he does not have a rich enough living foundation, how can he create a better life for his mother, younger brother and Ruoxi in the future?
The Chinese Society is still in its infancy, and there are still many things that he needs to do with his full strength, if Xi is not a management talent, he can only be replaced for a few days when he is stable, and if he encounters a complicated situation, it will be difficult for her to deal with it.
Now that the troubles at home have been dealt with, it is time for him to go all out and do something.
The smog world is simply unbearable, and every inch of space is filled with a choking smell.
In the past, the countryside was full of blue skies and white clouds, birds and flowers, and it was a place for people to purify their souls. But with the wanton expansion of industrial production in recent years, there is also a strong fog and smell of decay in the countryside.
In the past, the strategy to liberate China was to "encircle the cities from the countryside", but now the direction of environmental destruction is "cities encroaching on the countryside".
Rural people are not as delicate as people in the city, and they are fully armed with masks and hats, for fear that a trace of smog will enter their bodies.
The rural people were not wrapped in anything, but went to work in the fields with the headlamp on their heads.
When you are cold, rubbing your hands, haha, thirsty, drinking saliva, hungry, eating bread, and continuing to work, how can you be so exquisite!
Of course, rural people are also relatively free, it is not a matter of matter, this kind of weather, there is no need to go out at all, lie at home, how to be comfortable, how to come.
The fog in the countryside is much larger than in the city, mainly because the houses in the countryside are low and scattered, and it is difficult to cut off the haze from it, and the fog is relatively thick, coupled with the frequent use of manure fertilizers and pesticides in the countryside, so that the air condenses special substances, and it is even more turbid.
Every time there is a fog, the village is like a mirage, dream-like, ethereal like smoke, like a hazy painting in the ink and blue, revealing a sense of distance.
It was almost noon that the fog thinned out, and the visibility was less than 100 meters away, but this was not bad for the weather when there was a large haze at both ends of the day in three days.
The two decided to get up and go back to the city, his mother and Aunt Zhang said that they would leave after lunch, and the two of them were not easy to refuse, Zhang and everyone hurriedly arranged to cook, and after eating, they brought them some home-grown vegetables and pickled eggs, as well as two lunch boxes of steamed dumplings with leek filling.
Although this thing is not worth much, it represents the full heart of the family, and it tastes extraordinarily delicious.
The two said goodbye to their families and drove to the city.
Shoko's driving skills are not bad, and he is more stable than him. Although he is a B2 book, it was only a relatively early book, and the real skills are limited to the beginner level, and they are stronger than road killers.
But Shoko has liked to tinker with cars since he was a child, and when he was in junior high school, he drove his father's motorcycle around. Every time he came home, he drove his father's car for a ride, and now that he has his own car, it's even more cool.
However, this foggy day can't be opened, and the most important thing is to arrive safely. He turned on the fog lights and the twin flashing lights, and the two of them watched as they slowly moved forward.
Turn on the lights on foggy days, firstly, to illuminate the road ahead, to facilitate the driving of vehicles, and secondly, to let others see their own cars and avoid traffic accidents.
It's like a fable about a blind man walking at night with a lantern in his hand, and someone asks him, "You can't see, what's the use of a lantern?" The man said, "I am lighting the lantern so that others can see me and not knock me down, I am making it convenient for others." ”
Although the two of them drove very slowly and carefully, the fog was too big, and his car was white, drowning in a sea of fog, and it was difficult to see at all.
The glass of this car is covered with layers of fog, and no matter how much he turns on the warm air, he can't dispel the haze in the sky, which is full of blurry colors inside and out, and the high beams are difficult to penetrate the layers of smoke.
The fog poured from all sides, and I could only see about five meters in front of me, and I couldn't see things on both sides, so I could only grope my way forward, and occasionally I would be bumped and undulated by the potholes on the ground, and the car shook and shook, and there was a danger of subversion at any time.
"Xiangzi, stop the car, it's too dangerous to drive like this, let's wait and see, if there is a passing taxi, take us with you, and take care of it."
With a squeak, the brakes snapped, and the car stopped on the road, and it was impossible to tell which road it was on.
"Alas, this ghost weather, it's really lacking in morality, and I don't have any skills in this buddy." Shoko grumbled.
"Let's not do it! Safety is the most important thing, and it's okay to go back later. ”
"You said that in this wilderness, how can there be any passing cars, such foggy, can you see us?"
"Then who are you blaming for! Who told your kid to buy a white car? ”
"What's wrong with the white car, how dazzling!"
Xiangzi is a little unconvinced, it's no wonder, who wants others to say that their things are bad.
From the color of the car, you can see a person's personality.
Black is the color of power, successful people, or people who expect success, prefer black, which means that you are noble, dazzling but not too flashy;
White is a pure color, hoping to show a young, modern, energetic, elegant and perfectionist self;
Silver has a metallic color that symbolizes steel and modern technology, indicating that you are a practical, innovative, business-minded and tasteful person.
Red represents extroversion, drive, fun and impulsiveness, and red shows action, energy and masculinity;
Orange represents self-confidence, self-discipline, and freedom, and those who dare to drive orange cars on the street are people with flamboyant personalities.
......
Of course, everyone has the right to choose the color, which is understandable, but when it comes to safety, in fact, white is relatively much safer.
The visibility of the haze is low, even if the headlights are turned on, it is easy to see clearly due to the narrowing of the field of vision, and it is easy to cause an accident if you are not careful, so the body color plays a great role in safety.
Silver white has the least chance of getting into a car accident, and the rate of serious injuries in a car accident is 50% less than that of driving a black car.
The safety of different color cars is ranked from good to worst: silver white, white, silver, yellow, sky blue, red, blue, green, dark blue, dark purple, dark gray, and black.
It's just that white cars are easy to get dirty, and in the gray fog, it's not very obvious.
The duo stopped the car, turned on the double flash, and honked the horn from time to time to attract the attention of passing traffic.
But the fog is really stubborn, and the pillars of light and heat are always difficult to disperse.
The two are now trapped in place, in a dilemma, and their hearts are full of struggle and suffering.
Confusion is the most difficult stage of life to extricate oneself, the recollection of the past is irreparable, and the confusion about the future has no direction.
Waiting is boring and long, and it is easy to get irritable.
Zhao Yuankang is calm and dignified, in the past two years of practice, he has practiced like water, and naturally he has not been affected by this difficulty.
And Xiangzi is a person who is very active and not quiet, and he is usually very anxious when he is a little annoyed, if there is no persuasion from Zhao Yuankang from the side, maybe the car will be dismantled.
"You're not in a hurry, now we can only wait, wait for the fog to be a little smaller, or wait for the car on the same road."
"What a broken road, it's been a long time, and no cars have passed by, so when will it be, it's better to stay at your house."
"Xiangzi, don't complain, the roads in the countryside were foggy, and when we drove out, it wasn't so big, believe me, it's okay, hold on for a while, you can play a game for a while."
Complaining can lead to conflicts between friends. If both people don't give in to each other, it will exacerbate the conflict and make the result uncontrollable.
But Zhao Yuankang was very sensible, and did not quarrel with Xiangzi-for-tat, but understood his mood very well, and from his point of view, gave him support, encouragement, and gave him a suggestion to relieve pressure - playing games.
Sure enough, when Xiangzi heard this, he calmed down a lot, turned on the king pesticide in his mobile phone, and quickly immersed himself in the joy of the game.
Some people say, "A game is an act of losing the mind of a plaything." "To a certain extent, it can be said that many people lose themselves because they can't control the temptation, let their family feelings be indifferent, their work is slack, and they become a person without enthusiasm.
But in fact, it is also a kind of adjustment, a way to find the value of the heart.
They are in a position in real life, neglected, and are able to find pleasure in the world of the game.
Just as the two of them were anxiously waiting, suddenly their eyes darkened, the fog swirled, and their minds were dizzy.
