Chapter 296: A Chance Encounter

Yan's father had never been in a car before, and after Yan Xin drove home, he got into such a car for the first time.

He didn't know anything about the brand of the car, but in his eyes, as long as he drove a small car, he was a rich man.

It's not just the rich people who drive the car, even those who take a taxi to travel, they are all rich people in his eyes.

This time he went out to pay New Year's greetings, but it made him experience the feeling of a rich man.

Going out in such a car is indeed much more comfortable and convenient than taking a minibus.

The only thing that's a little bad is that the gas money is too expensive.

He watched his son refill the gas once, spending a lot of money, and felt that the gas money was much more than the ticket they took the minibus out.

I can't help but sigh that only rich people can afford this thing, even if it is given to him for free, he can't afford to use it.

Each time he sat in the passenger seat, which gave him a better view.

Of course, every time he got in the car, even if it was only a few miles away, in the village, Yan Xin would ask him to fasten his seat belt.

Yan Xin still attaches great importance to traffic safety.

He doesn't have much confidence in his own driving skills, and he doesn't have much confidence in other people's driving skills.

The best thing to do is to have adequate security measures in place.

This time when he came back from another town, as soon as he entered the potholed country road, Yan Xin was very energetic to drive this car.

When I went to my aunt's house, there were cement roads in the village, and although it was a bit narrow, it was no problem for a car to pass through.

But back to my own town, it's such a dirt road, the contrast is strong, and it's really a little depressing.

What's even more depressing is that, according to the memory of his previous life, it will be a few years before this road is repaired, and in the next few years, every time he goes home, he has to endure such a road.

Turning from the cement road in the town to the dirt road into the village, and within two miles of driving, a drizzle began to fall in the sky, which made Yan Xin drive more carefully.

Maybe it's because of the Chinese New Year, all the way over, you can see pedestrians on the road, some walking, some driving motorcycles, some pedaling, most of them are wearing new clothes, and some are dragging their families, which is very New Year's atmosphere.

Suddenly it rained, and the pedestrians on the road who did not bring umbrellas, and those who were not far from their homes rushed forward.

If you are far away, go to the house on the side of the road to take shelter from the rain.

During the Chinese New Year, those who are not relatives or relatives are embarrassed to break into other people's homes, so passers-by who are generally sheltered from the rain will choose to hide from the rain in places like small shops, and those who do business will not drive people out.

I really don't want to go, just buy something for a dollar or two, and it's fine.

The temperature is still relatively low, and no one wants to get wet, so when the rain starts, the pedestrians on the road are in a hurry, either rushing to their homes or to the nearest shop.

Along the way, I have encountered a lot of these.

A few small shops passing by behind, under the canopy, were crowded with people sheltering from the rain.

At this time, Yan's father realized one of the advantages of having a car, that is, he didn't have to hide from the rain when it rained.

On this road, Yan Xin drove not fast and was more careful.

Five or six miles away from the village, I suddenly saw two people sheltering from the rain under a camphor tree on the side of the road in front of me.

From a distance, there were two women.

On one side of this section of the road is a canal connecting several villages, and on the other side is farmland, and there are no people.

It took more than half a mile to reach another village.

And now that the rain is a bit heavy, they don't have umbrellas, and they have nowhere to find a house to hide from the rain, so they can only hide under the camphor tree.

Although the camphor tree is very large and the leaves are quite dense, it is only a tree after all, and there are still gaps between the branches and leaves, and rain will fall.

It can only be said that it is better than continuing to walk.

The car drove closer, Yan Xin suddenly sighed and asked his father: "Dad, look at the one hiding from the rain, is it the one who sells tofu in our village?" ”

There is a tofu seller in the village, known as the White Widow, and last year, a matchmaker came to the door to introduce the White Widow to Yan's father, but Yan's father refused.

Yan Xin also bought tofu from her, and encountered it many times on the road when she was in elementary school and junior high school, so she had a certain impression.

It's just that there is a distance between them, and he can't be too sure, so he asked his father.

Yan's father had already seen it, his expression was a little embarrassed, and he nodded and said, "Yes, it's the one who sells tofu, and the little one should be her daughter." ”

He felt embarrassed because the matchmaker had tried to match him with the white widow.

The car drove closer, and Yan Xin was sure that the older one was the white widow who sold tofu in the village.

I don't know how it ended up here.

If you don't know someone, you will drive there in such a situation.

But thinking that it is a village person, and there is such a relationship, you can't watch people get rained.

When Yan Xin drove the car next to the mother and daughter, he stopped, rolled down the window, and said to the white widow: "You are Aunt Bai who sells tofu in our village, right?" ”

Although it is from a village, it is not in a group, and the white widow is not familiar with him, but he feels as if he is a little familiar, but when people ask him, it must be from a village.

So he nodded: "Yes, which group are you from?" ”

When he said this, his eyes glanced inside, and then he saw Yan's father sitting in the co-pilot's seat.

Now he recognized it, and his face turned slightly red.

The matchmaker wanted to introduce her to Yan's father, she knew it, and she had asked her for her opinion before the introduction, and she had no opinion, and even had some expectations.

- It's not that I have any expectations for Yan's father, but I have some expectations for the conditions of their family, if I can form a new family with such a person, it will not be so difficult in the future.

It's just that the back was rejected and there was some loss.

The two of them had never talked about this matter face-to-face, and after learning from the matchmaker that they were rejected, they didn't have that mind.

This time I met, thinking about that period of the past, there was some embarrassment.

But I can only pretend that there is no such thing, so I don't know Yan's father.

Her daughter looked curiously at the car behind her, at the two people in the car, who didn't know anyone.

Yan Xin introduced himself: "I am from the twelve groups of the Yan family, and my name is Yan Xin." ”

Then he introduced his father: "This is my father Yan Weiguo." ”

White Widow sighed.

Before she could speak, her daughter behind her spoke: "Wow, is your family the Yan family who built a small villa in the twelfth group?" ”

Yan Xin smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's my house." ”

I didn't expect that in the eyes of the people in the village, the label of my home turned out to be like this.

After laughing, he said, "Are you going home?" ”

The white widow's daughter nodded vigorously: "I came back from my relatives, but I didn't expect to encounter rain on the road." ”

Yan Xin said: "Then you get in the car, we are also going back, just by the way, take you a ride." ”

When the White Widow was about to excuse herself, her daughter pulled open the car door, said thank you, and sat in.

It's so cold, it's raining, I haven't brought an umbrella with me, and it's not a good place to hide from the rain under the trees, so there will be raindrops falling somewhat.

Being able to sit in the car at this time was obviously the best choice, so she was not polite.

As a result, the White Widow couldn't say anything else, so she could only say "thank you", and then followed in the car.

After the car door was closed, Yan Xin didn't rush to start the car, and said to them first: "Fasten your seat belt." ”

The White Widow looked left and right, a little dazed: "What is a seat belt?" How do you tie it? ”

Having never made such a car, do not know these things.

Her daughter is also in her third year of high school, but she quickly fastened her seat belt and helped her mother tie it.

Yan Xin drove at this time.

The car drove all the way by.

Neither Father Yan nor White Widow said anything, and both of them had some feelings of embarrassment.

But the daughter of the white widow asked Yan Xin curiously:

"What kind of car is this? It looks pretty good. ”

"Mercedes." Yan Xin said.

"Wow, this is the legendary Mercedes?" The girl exclaimed, looking at Yan Xin's gaze differently, "It's only been more than a year since you came out to work, not only did you build a small villa, but you can also afford to buy a Mercedes-Benz!" ”

Yan Xin was depressed: "Hasn't the news of me borrowing the boss's car spread yet?" The intelligence system in this rural area is still a little too backward! ”

So he repeated the lie again: "This is not the car I bought, it is my boss's car, and I borrowed it to drive back." ”

"Then your boss is good to you." The girl said.

Yan Xin could only nod: "Yes, my boss is very good to me." ”

The girl smiled again and asked, "Where do you work?" Is there still a shortage of people? ”

Yan Xin shook his head: "We don't have a shortage of people there for the time being. ”

It's not that there is no shortage of people, but if you want to recruit people, you basically won't consider a high school degree - although he is only a high school student, he still has a little sense of academic discrimination in it.

What he wants to do in the future is to develop on the Internet, and he really needs highly educated talents.

The girl was suddenly a little lost, and said with a sad face: "My academic performance is not good, I will definitely not be able to pass the university, I will graduate from high school in a few months, and I have to go out to work, I don't know what kind of job I can find." ”

If it was a boy, Yan Xin could help introduce a job - to work as a decoration worker in Anye Home Improvement.

It doesn't matter if you have no experience, as long as you are hard-working, diligent and studious, you will be taught by a master.

But a girl is obviously not suitable for such a job.

can only comfort her: "You don't have to worry about work, it's still easy to find a job now, you are also beautiful, as long as the requirements are not very high, it is still quite easy to find a job." ”

The girl laughed: "Am I really beautiful?" ”

Yan Xin glanced at her through the rearview mirror, and said in a very affirmative tone: "Well, it's really beautiful." ”

In all fairness, this girl is really good-looking, not necessarily pretty, but definitely not ugly.

Dress up, it's also a little beauty.

Yan Xin's words are not against his will.

The white widow couldn't help but say: "Xiao Yan, don't praise her, this girl likes stinky beauty, if you praise her again, she will go to heaven." ”

Her daughter said unhappily, "Mom, you will blow my self-confidence." ”

Yan Xin could only reiterate again: "It's really beautiful." ”

The white widow laughed helplessly and said, "Xiao Yan, you can just talk." ”

Didn't say anything more.

Her daughter was not afraid of life, so she asked Yan Xin about some things about part-time jobs, asked him what jobs paid more, what jobs were easier, what jobs were easier to find, and asked if he was looking for an eight-hour job now, how much would it cost a month, and whether it was enough to spend.

Yan Xin also responded to what he had learned one by one.

In this day and age, the salary of a recent college graduate is not very high, let alone a high school graduate.

When the girl first asked, she was full of interest, and she seemed to have some longing for going out to work, and she felt that she was going to enter a very wonderful world, and economic independence was just around the corner.

But when he asked, he became depressed: "The monthly salary is only a few hundred yuan?" That's too low, right? The cost of living over there is so high, isn't it that the money you earn is not even enough to eat? ”

"That's not enough," Yan Xin said, "If you save a little over there, you can still get by with two or three hundred yuan a month." ”

He is very sure of this, because when he first came out, the monthly living expenses were only so little, and he still got by.

However, this girl obviously doesn't want to live the kind of life of two or three hundred yuan a month, and she is very sad.

asked Yan Xin how he found that high-paying job.

Yan Xin can only repeat the lies of the past, how to realize the rich people in the community when he was a security guard, and get the recognition of the rich people through high-quality service, so he gave him such a job, and then through serious work, he achieved better results, so he gave him a raise, and even lent him money to build a house, and even lent him a car to drive back.

The girl understood his point: "So, no matter what kind of work, you have to do it seriously, so that it is possible to be promoted, isn't that the truth?" ”

Yan Xin nodded: "That's right." God rewards hard work, starlight lives up to the passers-by, and hard work will definitely pay off. ”

He didn't believe in this kind of chicken soup for the soul, but that didn't prevent him from taking it out and pouring it into others.

Regardless of whether hard work will pay off, but for these people at the bottom, if they want to get a better life, hard work will not be wrong, and sometimes it will even be the only choice.

Of course, this girl looks okay, and there will be more choices.

But people's own mother is sitting here, and he can only say these positive energy chicken soup for the soul.

These words made the White Widow have a great impression of him, and felt that this young man was quite sensible.

During the chat, the car drove to the village, and when it reached the intersection where it entered the twelve groups, Yan Xin hesitated, and saw that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, so he didn't stop, but continued to drive the car forward, towards the group where the white widow lived.

drove until Bai's house, then stopped, let them get out of the car, and received a series of thanks, and then turned around and went home.

On the way to carry the mother and daughter, Yan's father didn't say anything, just looked at the scenery outside, and was very uncomfortable.

When he turned back, he let out a long breath and felt a sense of relief.

Yan Xin couldn't help laughing: "Dad, you are also in your 40s, why are you shy?" ”

Yan's father reprimanded: "Don't talk nonsense, I just don't like to talk to others." ”
