CHAPTER XXXIX

The epidemic, the city has been closed for nearly 50 days, and the number of new people has been cleared from Tibet, Xinjiang, Gansu and other places, and then to Wuhan one by one.

Wang Chu took Wang Pingping's car to arrive at the original unit, she and Wang Pingping have not seen each other for nearly two months, the first thing they did after meeting was to hug each other, happily jumping in place several times, and then shook hands with people passing by and asked, "Hello!" ”

Wang Chu's actions greeted the strange eyes of many people, but she didn't care, and the crowd passing by also responded, "Hello." "She finds it so much fun to breathe in the fresh air outside." It's finally seeing the light of day. "Spring is coming, and the pandemic is finally coming to an end." ”

"Some projects have been notified to resume work and production, and office workers have also gone to work one after another." Wang Pingping said, "The control is still very strict, which shows that the epidemic is not really over." ”

"Anyway, I don't want to be locked up at home anymore, I want to go to work."

"As you wish, get in the car and go." Wang Pingping sneered and motioned for Wang Chu to get into the car.

Back at their original unit, the entire street was empty, with the occasional patrol vehicle passing by, and the moment they removed their masks, they shouted, "Where do you work?" ”

"From the water conservancy station."

"Put your mask on."

"Woo....... know everyone like this."

Wang Chu recognized the person who shouted with a loudspeaker, a place with a population of less than 20,000, who had lived for 17 years, without scanning, she could hear who it was from the old man just by listening to the voice, at this moment she felt that in the face of the epidemic, the familiar people around her had lost even a little human touch.

Wang Chu dragged his luggage back to the community, there was a long queue at the door, one person stood evenly on the one-meter line, and the staff was also the most familiar, he kept shouting, "Keep the distance, don't get together." ”

There are still vegetables and fruits sold at the entrance of the community, and the residents who do not go to work can only shout in front of the iron railing of the community to sell vegetables.

Wang Chu simply bought some vegetables and fruits at the gate of the community, queued for a long time before entering the community, and when she returned home, she first cleaned the house thoroughly, put on new quilt covers and new sheets, and simply cooked some rice porridge and a plate of fried gourds and melons to solve the dinner.

It was also a very boring day to go to work, from morning to night, there was almost no one in the office except for the sound of Sister Feng calling to collect progress. For a long time, they seemed to have heard about Wang Chu, except for Sister Feng talking and laughing with her, many people tried to avoid meeting with her to talk and laugh, even Han Qi was the same, naturally Wang Xuewu's attitude was also a 360-degree turn.

That night, Wang Chu had just laid down after eating and washing up when there was a sound of the door opening, she rolled up from the bed in a panic and walked into the living room, the door had been opened.

"Secretary?" Wang Chu's eyes widened, "Why do you still have the key?" ”

"I've got the keys to my own house." Wang Xuewu replied.

"I don't need anything, I don't lack anything, thank you, secretary."

Wang Xuewu looked around the kitchen, living room, and bedroom, "I'll see if you need help, I heard that you and Deputy Political Commissar Li are divorced, you are a woman." After speaking, she pushed Wang Chu straight into the room.

"What do you want to do?" Wang Chu naturally wouldn't let Wang Xuewu take advantage of him in the slightest, she grabbed him by the throat and pushed him to the door, "You get out of here." ”

"Brother is here to care about you, why do you think you are so powerful?"

"There's a kitchen knife in the kitchen, do you roll or not?" Wang Chu shouted.

Wang Xuewu seemed to be scared, he tore Wang Chu apart, "Look at you, you can't stand being joking like this." ”

Wang Chu pushed Wang Xuewu out of the door, "Get out of here." Then he slammed the door shut, and then locked the door. How can there be such people? She walked back to the sofa, sat down, and couldn't calm the anger in her heart, and decided to move from here, so she sent a house search message in many groups, and made three phone calls, the rent was about 15,000 yuan, plus a deposit of 5,000 yuan, and she really couldn't afford these expenses. She held her phone in her hand and thought about it carefully, "Anyway, it's a free room, and you can't live in vain." Then she looked for a lock phone in the group, "Hello, is it a lock phone?" I want to change the locks. ”

Since she changed the door lock, as long as Wang Chu is at home, she will lock the door, and she will not greet him again when she meets Wang Xuewu in the office, but she frequently receives text messages from the other party, and even deleted WeChat, which finally led to sending messages on her mobile phone.

Finally one day, Wang Chu couldn't stand it anymore and blocked Wang Xuewu in the office, "This is the first and last time I warn you, don't send me those so-called greeting messages again, if there is a next time, I guarantee that these messages will appear in front of your wife, and you don't want to see your own wife separated, right?" Or maybe you'll show up in the leader's office, and then you don't want to work. After admonishing him, before he could react, she turned to leave.

Since that time, Wang Xuewu has never sent a message to Wang Chu again, and he has not mentioned a word about the house, it seems that this kind of person has to be dealt with in this way, but she feels that she doesn't hate it enough, she just doesn't want more rumors to appear.

It didn't take a few days. The weather gradually became warmer, the withered yellow grass and trees grew a piece of green, this process was less than half a month long to green the whole world, Wang Chu shuttled back and forth on the road between home and office every day, the whole trajectory of trees and grass germination and greening, she is obvious to all.

The place where Wang Chu passes every day is a moon lake that is nearly ten kilometers long and more than two kilometers wide, and the river is dry and waterless in winter. To save time, she often crosses straight through the middle. By April, when the river was flooded and the bridge was blocked, she had to make a detour to get to her place of work and residence, and so on for an additional two kilometres, until one day, the barred railing was pulled open, and the bridge became the shortest route between her office and her home.

Li Haoran started school in mid-March, and on the day of school, he used an embarrassed tone for the first time, and even pleaded a little, "Mom, I want to buy a bicycle, you see my sister has a bicycle, my home is a little far away from the school, and it is easy to be late for walking back and forth every day." ”

"Okay." Wang Chu did not hesitate, and readily agreed.

"So refreshing?" Li Haoran jumped up happily.

"But I'm conditional." Wang Chu said, "You are not allowed to be late for school, you are not allowed to skip school, you are not allowed to sleep in class, and you must turn off the lights to sleep before 12 o'clock every night, can you do it?" ”

"I can, I can, I will." Li Haoran was simply flattered, he chose the most satisfactory bicycle as he wished, he rode on the bike and walked around the car dealership, his happy expression was really an ignorant teenager.

"You're going to buy a bike for your child at such a young age?" The owner of the car dealership asked, "There are so many cars on the road now, how dangerous it is for children to ride." ”

"This is the first time he has given me a wish, and I have to fulfill him, but I also want to motivate him to go to school hard."

"Don't be so used to children, let me tell you that this child is unaccustomed, I have a fellow countryman, her daughter can give whatever she wants, don't you know that the rebellious yelling now, quarreling with her mother and cutting her with a knife?"

"Is it so serious?" Wang Chu turned around in surprise and asked, "This child should have mental illness, right?" ”

"It's not what's wrong, some time ago, my fellow countryman took a trip, and it was better to come back, this child is what her mother has been used to since she was a child, what do you want, you can't say a word of weight, so the child can't stand any grievances now. Let me tell you, my child, I have never been accustomed to him, since he was a child, let him learn to do laundry and cook, and bear a little pressure appropriately, so that children who grow up in this environment can resist pressure, so that they will not be unable to accept the pressure of society. ”

"Thank you, boss." Wang Chu said, "I buy a bicycle for my child, and I know it in my heart. ”

Not to mention, for a long period of time, Li Haoran rarely was late or skipped school, because Wang Anwen knocked on his door first thing when he got up every day and told him to get up. Occasionally, once or twice he dozed off in class, and when the teacher knocked on the table a few times, he listened to the lecture seriously.

At the end of April, Wang Chu gave a bonus, she calculated it, plus the money she saved on weekdays, and borrowed 20,000 yuan from her parents, which was enough to pay a down payment and buy a house with a housing provident fund loan.

On the night of borrowing money, Wang Chu first told his mother about buying a house, "Mom." She was embarrassed when she spoke, although it was not the first time she had asked her mother to borrow money, "I gave me a bonus. The mother pounded her on the shoulder on the couch and squinted at her, "I want to buy a house." She continued.

The mother stopped beating her shoulder, "It's a good thing to buy a house, if you have money, you can buy it." ”

"But I don't have enough money, and I'm still 20,000 yuan short."

"You have to find your father for this, the economic power of my family is in your father's hands."

"Mom." Wang Chu said, "I'm embarrassed to talk to my father, so you can help me talk about it?" You see, I'll have to sleep on the couch as soon as I get back, and it's time for me to buy myself a house. ”

"You're her daughter, what's so embarrassing to speak? Just ask him for it. ”

Wang Chu didn't dare to talk to her father again, and when she opened her handbag when she went to work the next day, she put two new bags of money in the bag, she knew that it must have been her father's doing, she was moved and almost cried.

Scraping together enough money, Wang Chu went to the sales building, at this time, the house price of Tumshuk was about 3,500 yuan, and the down payment of 20% of the house of 100 square meters was about 80,000 yuan.

Wang Chu consulted the unit's accountant, but the answer he got was, "When we finish the reform, we should pay normally." ”

"Then why can't you pay it now?"

"Our wages can't be paid on time, and we still pay the housing provident fund?"

Wang Chu understands very well that this is not the case at all, although it is under reform, but the salary is basically paid once a month, and I learned in an unexpected chat with Sister Feng that it is the accounting that is troublesome, and the housing provident fund is only paid once every six months, according to the housing provident fund management policy, it must be paid every month to handle the housing provident fund loan business.

The matter of buying a house was in vain, Wang Pingping told Wang Chu, "If you can't buy a house, you can buy a car first, look at you, it's quite far to go back and forth to work, and I used to have a car when I went out, but now it's not convenient to go anywhere." ”

"I don't even have a house, what are I doing with a car?"

"Who's to say you can't do anything? Having a car can also improve your quality of life, by the way, I have an old watch is a sports car, he can earn about 20,000 a month, every day there are endless guests, you buy a car, I introduce my old watch to you to know, let him introduce you to the guests, anyway, your unit is not busy, the reform of the exam has not yet been decided, you will follow my old watch sports car to earn some money when you are free. ”

"Is this okay?" Wang Chu asked.

"Of course you can, anyway, you don't have anything to do, don't waste your time, in today's society, making money is the king, it's hard to move an inch without money, your family Haohao will go to college in the future, and there are many places to use money."

"Don't really say it, that's the reason."

After Wang Chu carefully considered Wang Pingping's words, the two of them immediately went to the car dealership, picked a small SUV suitable for her, Geely Emgrand GS, and called a group of friends to celebrate. She was stopped by the traffic police, and a traffic policeman drove the car to the side of the road, she parked the car, lowered the window, and lowered it.

"Hello ma'am, please show your driver's license." said the traffic police.

"Oh!" Wang Chu found out his driver's license and showed it to the traffic police.

The traffic police looked through the driver's license and returned it to Wang Chu, "Please show your temporary license." ”

"Pro?" Wang Chu didn't understand the words of the traffic police.

"It's the one that the owner of the car dealership gave you on the road when you bought the car." Wang Pingping prompted.

Wang Chu suddenly remembered, she put the license plate into the car purchase file bag, "The license plate should be placed in the most conspicuous place in front of the car glass." The traffic police explained. She turned over as soon as possible for a long time before turning over, the temporary card to the traffic police, the traffic police glanced at it and said, "Madam, your temporary license plate has expired, according to the relevant provisions of the "temporary driving license plate", we will impose a fine of 200 yuan on you to deduct 6 points, please get off the car and follow me to the traffic police management brigade. ”

"It's not ......." Wang Chumeng circled, "The car I just bought, the owner of the car dealership gave me a temporary license plate today." ”

"Ma'am, the date on this card is November 15, 2009, and it is now May 1, 2020."

Wang Chu was surprised, "How could it be?" She took the Pro card and looked at it, and sure enough, it was the Pro card on November 15, 2009, "You can't blame me for this, right?" It was the owner of the car dealership who made a mistake. ”

"It seems that you really don't know." The traffic police said, "Then please call the owner of the car dealership to come over." ”

Wang Chu immediately took out his hand and called the owner of the car dealership, and within ten minutes, the owner of the car dealership came.

"Did you buy this car from your shop?" The traffic police asked the owner of the car dealership.

"Yes, it's from my shop." The owner of the car dealership replied.

"Then did you know that it is illegal to give customers expired cards?"

"I know, I know." The owner of the car dealership bowed his head while handing cigarettes to the traffic police, "I'm really sorry, it's our employees who gave the wrong license." ”

"It's not an excuse." The traffic police said, "As far as I know, the vehicle management office is in short supply of temporary licenses recently, I can understand that your car dealership temporarily does not have a temporary license plate to give your expired license plate, customers do not understand it, but you can not know the law, if during this period, customers have a traffic accident on the road, can you afford this responsibility?" ”

"Yes, yes, I was wrong."

"It's not a question of fault, you're joking with the safety of your customers' lives and property, you know? Your behavior must be punished severely. ”

The owner of the car dealership was speechless, Wang Chu's car was detained, and the owner of the car dealership was also taken to the traffic police brigade, and the dinner was set, but they did not sit at the table as scheduled, and the matter was not resolved until 12 o'clock in the morning.

The experience of buying a car is a lesson to Wang Chu, although the owner of the car dealership was fined 2,000 yuan, but her driver's license was deducted six points, after all, she personally drove the motor vehicle, the traffic police for her to carefully explain the knowledge of road traffic: it is illegal to go on the road without a license, including expired licenses, if an accident occurs on the road during this period, the insurance company will not compensate.

"Hey, it's so rough for me to buy a car." Wang Chu had no choice but to sigh.

Indeed, it is quite bumpy, there is no temporary license, the newly bought car can not be driven away, can only be temporarily detained in the traffic police brigade, half a month later the owner of the car dealership handed over the good license to Wang Chu.

"I'm really sorry to get you into big trouble and deduct six points from your driver's license." The owner of the car dealership explained.

"It's all in the past, I don't want to worry about it."

"I know it's useless to apologize, if you need to deduct points from your driver's license in the future, you come to me, bah, bah, I believe you will obey the traffic rules, and you won't need ...... my driver's license."

"Each of us should abide by the traffic rules, but you don't give customers expired cards in the future, the traffic police are right, in case I have a traffic accident on the road, and not to say that my life is in danger, in case I hit someone else, not to mention criminal responsibility, not to mention imprisonment, what do I take to compensate others?"

"Yes, yes, I was taught this time."

The incident of expiring the license plate on the road made Wang Chu's driver's license lose six points, but the next thing that happened made her driver's license three points less.

The first thing Wang Chu did when he got into the car was to call Wang Pingping and tell her that she got the car, Wang Pingping made an appointment with her old watch, and the three of them met in a café and introduced each other.

"My sports car experience is to send more messages in the group." Wang Pingping's old cousin is called Li Baochang, "I have more than 20 people in the Tumshuk group, I will add you to WeChat, and I will recommend the group to you." ”

"Okay, thank you, when you earn the first pot of gold, I'll invite you two to dinner." Wang Chu took out his mobile phone and scanned his QR code.

"You don't need to eat, we are mutual, and the interests are mutual, just give me the customers you can't pull."

"How embarrassing this is!"

"What's embarrassing, you're my cousin's best friend, don't treat me as an outsider." Li Baochang said, "Also, you have to add a few people who posted advertisements, find people who ride in the car from their circle of friends, and then call them, these people have a lot of information, and finding people from their circle of friends every day is enough for your customers." ”

As soon as he said this, Li Baochang's mobile phone rang, "Look, the customer is here." He answered the phone, "Hey, hello! ”

“……。”

"Yes, where are you going?"

“……。”

"And how many of you are?"

“……。”

"Okay, okay, you send the location, I'll pick you up right away."

"This business to go to Aksu Airport is given to you, four people, one person charges one hundred and twenty yuan, and I will send you the navigation immediately." Li Baochang said, "Remember, collect the money halfway, so that the initiative is in your hands." ”

"Why do you have to collect the money first? Isn't it just to pull the guests to the place to collect the money? ”

"Listen to me, it's the epidemic now, there are many inspections, and there will be a lot of unexpected things along the way." Li Baochang said, "Also, teach you another trick, if a customer orders your car, if it is enough to pull a car or have a chartered car, you will collect a deposit first, so as not to let the customer disappear." ”

"I see."

"Go ahead, this kind of customer who doesn't have a deposit is easy to be snatched away." Li Baochang prompted.

Wang Chu picked up the car keys, "I'll definitely invite you two to dinner another day." Then leaving, she opened the navigation sent and picked up the customer as she wished.

"Hello, are you four going to Aksu?"

"Yes."

"I'm Baochang Li, who you just called, and asked me to pick you up."

"Is it a female driver?" One of them said.

"Is it okay for the female driver, do you two dare to sit?" Another said.

"It's okay, I've been driving for three years, I'll definitely send you to the place safely." Wang Chu got out of the car and opened the trunk.

"It's only been three years? We're on a plane, are you sure you can? ”

"Don't worry, I'm driving steadily."

The customer hesitated, but eventually put the trunk in the car, "Okay, if you drive unsteadily, make us uncomfortable, or delay the plane, we won't pay for it." The first one to speak said.

"Done." Wang Chu assured, "If I drive unsteadily, or if I don't get you to the airport safely, I won't charge you." With that, he closed the trunk, got into the car, fastened his seatbelt, and hit the road. Just because of the customer's words, along the way, she drove very carefully, the car started with a turn signal, the traffic light did not rush the seconds, and the left turn and right turn overtaking were practice makes perfect.

"Your female driver is not bad." The customer said, "You're very skilled, you should have taken the driver's license." ”

"Of course." Wang Chu replied, "I am a student of Sanlian Driving School, and I remember all the teachings of the instructor. ”

"I'm sorry, beauty, the attitude in front is not good, we are also for our safety."

"It's okay, we also have a fate, you are my first customer."

"Yes! That's really fate. ”

Along the way, these guests asked questions, as long as they could think of everything they could think of, what does the husband do? How old is my son? What did you do before? How did you think of running a black car now? Wang Chu replied as hazy as possible, and when asked what her husband was doing, she replied with a businessman, and when asked about running a black car, she said, "The family is short of money, there is no way, yes." She followed their words naturally, "Could you please pay for it first?" Because....... ”

"I understand, I understand." The customer said, "It's not easy for a woman to come out and earn money, understand and understand." ”

"Yes, yes, just understand." Wang Chu naturally didn't understand what the customer meant, which was inconsistent with what Li Baochang said about the epidemic, there were many inspections, and unexpected things, etc., she handed the mobile phone to the man in the passenger seat, "Please help me collect the money." ”

"Okay." Wang Chu only heard four messages coming up, she silently calculated the account, one hundred and twenty yuan for one person, four people are four hundred and eighty yuan, excluding postage and tolls, a single trip can earn three hundred yuan, if you go back to pull people, you can earn more than six hundred a day, then you can earn about twenty thousand yuan a month, then you can easily earn back the down payment of the house in half a year.
