Seventy-six days

Looking at the porcelain doll in his hand, Baili Bing lowered his head in the car and stopped talking, but he felt a little aggrieved in his heart, as if he felt that in Lin Yifei's mind, his weight was not as good as this bad old man.

The price of porcelain dolls can indeed not be compared with jade pendants, but what the oil mouse said is good, thousands of miles to send goose feathers, the gift is light and affectionate, he did not send goose feathers, how to say that he also said that he has a pair of porcelain dolls, if the weight is concerned, it is obviously heavier than goose feathers, but Yifei seems to have never given himself anything!

Lin Yifei smiled, although he was silent, it was almost enough to make fun of him, and finally took out a thing and handed it to Baili Bing, "Don't worry, he has gifts, of course you won't lack them." ”

Baili Bing turned from worry to joy in an instant, and when he looked up, it turned out to be a swarthy necklace, small but small, but how did they look like stones, and he couldn't help but pout, "Just this stone?"

Lin Yifei couldn't help but correct: "This should be called a necklace!"

"A necklace made of stone?" Baili Bing said unrelentingly.

Lin Yifei couldn't help but touch his nose, and said helplessly: "You don't want it?"

"Who said no. Baili Bing snatched it, checked it in his hand, felt very weighty, and felt a little strange in his heart, and just said: "It's always good to ask clearly," I looked at the necklace and found that the knot was very fine by hand, although the black string of stones was inconspicuous, but if I looked closely, there seemed to be some pattern rotating, and then looked, it disappeared in an instant, Baili Bing felt very interesting, and looked at it again and again for a long time, and the pattern just now seemed to be no longer found, and I couldn't help but think that I was dazzled.

The oil rat coughed, "Big sister, how about you show me?"

"Isn't it?" Baili Bing quickly hid the necklace behind him, rolled his eyes, and suddenly said with a smile: "Do you think my necklace is very good?"

The oil rat is old and cunning, and he has the wisdom of knowing the elegance of the string piano, his little eyes are stuck, and he coughs dryly twice, "Brother Lin sent it, even if it is not good, it is also a thought." Seeing that Lin Yifei glared at him, he hurriedly said: "Of course, even if Brother Lin gives me a stone, I will keep it as a treasure." ”

"Do you want to see it?" asked Baili Bing, shaking the necklace in his hand and looking forward to it.

The oil rat saw the meaning in her eyes and hurriedly waved his hand, "This is something for women, I'll see what it does." "Knowing that Baili Bing means to exchange this broken stone necklace for his own jade pendant, don't say that this kind of business is done, it can't be mentioned, in case it is really mentioned, refusing is a hurtful thing, turning around, no longer paying attention to Baili Bing, and the driver has a word without a word.

Baili Bing was a little disappointed, fiddled with the necklace for a long time, and found that he couldn't untie the knot, he couldn't help but feel a little strange, and reached out in front of Lin Yifei, "Help me bring it, I can't untie it." ”

The oil mouse laughed secretly in his heart, thinking that she was coquettish, Lin Yifei smiled, "It's a bit troublesome to open this button, I think the owner who designed this necklace just wore these stones more firmly." ”

"The owner of the design necklace?" The oil rat seemed to be chatting, but he was listening to what was being said behind him with his ears open, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but ask, "Isn't it mass-produced?"

"Mass production?" Lin Yifei smiled in surprise and said, "Do you think this kind of stone is very easy to find? Don't say that these stones, even the rope that wears the stone is extremely rare." ”

The oil rat was thrilled and regretted a little, but he couldn't understand whether Lin Yifei was playing tricks on him, so he just pretended to ask casually: "What's rare, it's just a little stronger." ”

Lin Yifei smiled, as if he saw his intentions, and kept silent.

The oil rat was anxious and itching, thinking that if you don't say it, I won't believe Baili Bing don't ask, he guessed well, Baili Bing had been listening attentively, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but ask: "What is the stone made of." ”

Lin Yifei smiled, "You feel unbalanced when you look at me giving him a jade pendant, but giving you a few stones." ”

Baili Bing hesitated for a moment before saying, "Originally, yes, but then I thought about it, as long as you sent it, what is the difference between a stone and a jade pendant?"

Her words sounded plain, but they contained infinite affection, but Lin Yifei was stunned when he heard it, and was greatly moved, and the oil mouse couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Lin, the eldest sister is a good woman, don't let her down." ”

Baili Bingyan smiled, lowered his head a little shyly, the driver of the car had been driving in a muffled voice, and at this time he couldn't help but say: "Yes, what this brother said is good, these days, there are really too few women who don't love money, you just say that my mother-in-law, I could have lived with me at ease a few years ago, at that time, you also know that everyone is poor, so there is no comparison, now, alas, Cheng Tian and I mentioned, three sentences are not separated from a money word." ”

The oil rat was a little puzzled, how to drive this road taxi drivers are very talkative, but it is not easy to interrupt him, just casually echoed: "You are right, but, but I don't have a wife." ”

The driver was stunned, holding the steering wheel with one hand, and patting the oil mouse on the shoulder with the other hand, "You don't want a wife." ”

The oil rat laughed bitterly, but Baili Bing snorted a little dissatisfied, "Do you regret marrying your wife?"

The driver was stunned for a moment, but the car drove steadily, and the vibration was less, and he said: "I didn't regret it when I married my wife, but now my wife has changed, and she is not the one she was at the beginning." ”

"I will spend my heart on my own," Baili Bing said dissatisfiedly: "I have seen a lot of people like you, and when you pursue others, you will say any sweet words, and when they are old and waste the most precious time of their lives on you, when they become a yellow-faced woman, you will start to get tired of it, don't you?"

The three men in the car looked at each other, but it was difficult to refute her question, thinking that from a woman's point of view, this was indeed the case, but from a man's point of view?

"Not really. The driver pondered for a long time, and finally shook his head and said: " She is like that at all times in my eyes, but you must know that the pressure of men is already great, and I have this ability, I am old, and I am slow to accept new things, even if I can learn something new, men in their forties will find other jobs, don't say what resumes to hand, people will directly refuse as soon as they see their age, I don't want to make money, but what do you want me to do, I can't steal, I can't rob, I met a passenger who is messing around, playing drunk and crazy or something, not to mention the oil money, and delaying the day's work, we are tired and tired, in addition to the money handed over, deposits, insurance, and deductions, there are really few in hand, working more than ten hours a day, I can't eat a few bites, don't I just want to pull a few more customers and earn more money to support my wife and children. ”

Baili Bing was silent, seeing that the driver didn't seem to be old, but his face was full of wrinkles more than that of an oil mouse, and his hair was graying a lot, everyone knew that there were many reasons for gray hair, in addition to age, worry and malnutrition were undoubtedly the most related.

The driver is more and more excited, "I go home but never say this, looking at my son's earnest eyes, I, a father, come home tired and just want to sleep, but I have to tutor him with homework, my life is over, but my son can't still live like this, right?"

Baili Bing bit her lip and was silent, although she was self-reliant early, after all, she had not suffered much, compared to these people living at the bottom, the standard of living could be said to be too far behind, but she knew that the driver was telling the truth.

"When you are a driver, your waist and legs are inevitably a little sick, and now this waist is as hard as a stone. The driver smiled bitterly: "It's not all the year round, but we can endure these, endure it for a few more years, retire, and don't have to suffer like this, the usual life is tight, I'm afraid of a disease, just take two pills for a minor illness, but if you encounter any serious illness, to be honest, the family's money is saved for my son to go to school, that can't be moved, how can I not delay my son, borrow money? When can I pay it back, if I don't borrow, will I die?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't say that right, please forgive me. Baili Bing apologized in a low voice.

The driver laughed, Lin Yifei looked through the rearview mirror, but saw the tears in his eyes, "Big sister, I also call you like this old brother, I hope you don't blame you, I don't blame you at all, people like you are really rare, I'm happy for this big brother, although I am a man, but I don't have any ability, it's actually nothing to be tired, like you said, I've never had it, of course many men may have it, but we are family people, a little spare money, isn't it good to save for my son?" I don't expect too much, I just hope that when I get home, my son can call my father and my mother-in-law can give me two hot words, which is not too demanding, right?"

"Not high, not high!" said the oil rat repeatedly.

"But," the driver sighed, "it's this request, it's difficult, every time I go home, I hear which man is and how good he is, how much he earns, how useless he is, I actually really want to die, but when I die, what should I do with my parents, what about my son, although my wife is fierce, but what will she do in the future? People live, they have to take care of their families, and they have to bear a lot of responsibilities, otherwise they are called gentlemen, isn't it, big brother?"

Lin Yifei looked at the face that was still indomitable despite the long-suffering, and said after a while: "You're right, if I can still be here next time, I hope to invite you, and your family, to have a drink." ”

The driver laughed, didn't say much, vented a lot of grumbling, obviously in a much happier mood, cheered up and drove in the direction of the airport, because he knew better than anyone that after all, he still had to live day by day.
