suddenly tired

Ji Sumian was woken up by the vibration of the plane when it landed, but he twisted his body, pulled the blanket and fell asleep again, until he was found by the flight attendant.

"Sir, what's wrong with you?"

He rubbed his eyes, looked at the smiling girl in front of him, and said slowly, "Uh, I... I'm sorry, I've slept, we're here, right?"

"Yes sir, we have already landed at Donghai International Airport, do I need to help you with your luggage?"

Ji Sumian got up. He was indeed not as tall as the young lady in front of him, but he wouldn't let a girl carry his bag for him. He said no, thank you for the trouble, and hurried out of the cabin, habitually took out his mobile phone, Turning on the phone, his return to China this time is different from before. There is no new information, no one is looking forward to him, and there is no one he needs to contact.At the airport near midnight, most of the tourists walked in a hurry, but Ji Sumian seemed less anxious, with lonely steps and a lonely expression.

A suitcase was lying alone on the turntable. It was black, had a lot of scratches, and was a little dirty. It was obviously used for a long time. Ji Sumian frowned. He knew he should put a bag on it. He thought, Fei With some strength, he picked up the suitcase and dragged it towards the direction of the airport bus.

"20 cards, how to pay?"

"Alipay." Ji Sumian opened the payment page.

"Payment failed, please change to a debit card, credit card will not work."

"But this is a savings card."

"That's insufficient balance. Why don't you change WeChat."

"Oh, wait a minute."

——WeChat can’t pay either.The ticket sales staff was a little anxious, and said that if you go to the side to deal with it, the bus will leave immediately, and let others buy tickets first.

Ji Sumian stood aside in some embarrassment. The wind blew a chill after nightfall. He sent a WeChat message to his best friend, Zhao Xinyu, a nurse who works in the hospital.

Su Mian: Sister Xiaoyu, can you transfer some money to me through WeChat?There is no RMB just off the plane.

After waiting for a while, without waiting for a reply, the last bus slowly drove out of the airport under his watchful eyes.

Ji Sumian sighed softly, sat on the bench and checked all the cards he carried with him. Without accident, all of them were frozen.After thinking about it, he took the suitcase to the taxi parking lot.

"Master, I don't have cash now, can you take me home first? I'll give you the money when I get home."

"Alipay and WeChat can pay."

"I know, but there is a problem with my bank card, and I can't pay with my mobile phone."

The taxi driver looked him up and down. It was a child with crumpled clothes and an old suitcase. It would cost at least 200 yuan to take a taxi from the airport back to the city. He shook his head distrustfully, "Forget it, I will temporarily If you don’t go, you can ask someone else.”

Zhong Lei just soaked a bowl of noodles, put it on the trunk lid, put a sausage in, closed the lid and waited for 2 minutes, then threw a soft-boiled marinated egg in it, he was waiting for the marinated egg to be warm During the time, I watched with great interest the little boy who was holding a box and kept asking for help. After hearing what was going on, I yelled at him: "Hey, kid, I'll go back to the city later. Just take you."

Ji Sumian turned around and saw him. He was a driver wearing a black peaked cap and a black mask. He was overjoyed and ran for two steps. When he got to the side of the car, he heard the driver say, "But I just made a bowl of noodles. , you have to wait for me to finish eating, can you wait?"

"You can wait, you can wait, master, I'm not in a hurry, you take your time."

Zhong Lei was not polite to him, took off his hat and mask, took the bowl, tore off the lid, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to enjoy his dinner, but found that the child stared at him suspiciously, which made him a little angry : "What to look at!"

"Uh... that, I'm sorry." Ji Sumian quickly lowered his head, and the moment he lowered his head, his eyes were red.The aroma of instant noodles is very strong, and the pepper flavor is very strong, a bit rushed, as if a handful of pepper powder is covering the face head-on.Ji Sumian's eyes hurt and his nasal cavity was sore. He took a deep breath to hold back his tears, but he seemed to have inhaled more pepper, and he couldn't help sniffling, "Master, I'm sorry, I'm just... I'm sitting After a 15-hour flight, I was a little airsick, and I only dared to drink water on the plane..." He stopped here and didn't continue.

Zhong Lei squinted at him, oh, the kid was hungry.

"Just this bowl, I won't share it with you."

"Then... can I eat that egg? I promise to give you the money when I get home."

Zhong Lei thought to himself, "Kids are quite smart", put the marinated egg on the lid of the instant noodle that was torn off just now and handed it to him, looking reluctant: "This is the only one."

"Thank you so much... Well, it's delicious, and it's still hearty." Ji Sumian wiped out the marinated egg in two mouthfuls, and then thought about the sausage, "That...Master, you are so kind."

"The stewed egg counts as five yuan, remember to give it to me later."

"Okay, okay, how much... how much is the sausage?"

Zhong Lei stopped, took the bowl, stopped eating, looked at the child carefully, and pushed his nose on his face.

"I have to say, you children who are studying abroad eat the best food, and your eyes are really poisonous." Although he was very reluctant, he gave him the sausage fork, "Ten yuan."

He is not a benevolent person, it is purely because the child looks like a child of a rich family.After getting off the international flight, he was carrying a business-style suitcase that did not match his age. Although it was a bit dirty, it was hard not to notice a small hexagram logo on the front of the suitcase, a suitcase worth 8000 yuan. How could a child not be able to afford the 200 yuan fare, not to mention the braised egg sausage.

It was already one o'clock in the morning when the taxi left the airport, and Ji Sumian received a belated WeChat message.

Little Goldfish doesn't want to take the exam: Are you back to China? !

Little Goldfish doesn't want to take the exam: I just got off the night shift, I was so busy just now, where are you?

Su Mian: In the taxi.

Little Goldfish doesn't want to take the exam: Then you come to the hospital to find me, and take you to eat supper!

Su Mian: Good.

Ji Sumian moved closer, and said to the front row, "Excuse me, master, can we go to the Sixth Affiliated Hospital instead?"

"can."

"Thank you, I have contacted my friend, and I will pay you the money when I arrive, it will definitely not be less."

"it is good."

Ji Sumian looked at the driver's information board placed under the front windshield and asked, "Master, is your surname Zhong?"

"Yes." He glanced at the person in the rearview mirror and answered briefly.

"Is that your real name?"

"What? You need a stage name to drive a taxi? We are a regular company."

"No no, I didn't mean that, I meant that this surname is not very common."

"Brother Zhong Uncle Ji's Zhong."

"what?"

Seeing the dull expression in the rearview mirror, Zhong Lei smiled softly, with a bit of disdain: "Don't understand this word? Or is it that a taxi driver can quote classics and scare you?"

Ji Sumian lowered her head and said embarrassedly: "No, I was thinking, then I am the Ji of 'Brother and Uncle Ji'."

"Oh? Coincidentally."

"Yes, what a coincidence, master, according to this ranking, you should be my second brother."

"Cut, brother? How old are you? I'm your second uncle!"

"I'm almost 20 years old, sophomore year!"

"Oh, that's right." Zhong Lei glanced in the rearview mirror again, he was still a child, not tall, at best only 1.7 meters tall, nodding his head, with a baby face, it is possible that he just went to high school, "Okay , 20 is also a child, about the same age as my nephew."

Ji Sumian didn't know what to say. The driver obviously treated him as a child, or he just didn't want to talk to him, and he seemed impatient to talk to him. It took nearly an hour to drive, and he still wanted to find something. topic chat.

"Master, why are you wearing a mask all the time? Do you have a cold?"

"allergy."

"Oh."

……

"Master, your work is very hard. You don't eat until after 12 o'clock."

"It's okay, I'm used to it."

……

"Master, don't you call taxis with mobile phones now in China? Why don't you use online taxis?"

"I'm going to drive an online car-hailing service, so you have to sleep at the airport tonight."

"Hehehe."

……

When Ji Sumian was thinking hard about the next topic, the driver suddenly asked, "Aren't you sleepy after more than ten hours of flying?"

"I'm not sleepy! I'm afraid of airsickness. I took a motion sickness pill at the airport, and then I took a sleeping pill when I boarded the plane. I told the flight attendant that I didn't eat. Don't wake me up. Sleep before the plane takes off." I fell asleep and slept the whole time, except when I got up to go to the bathroom, I drank two sips of water and slept until the machine’s paws touched the ground. I woke up and fell asleep again. I didn’t wake up until everyone left, so now I’m not sleepy at all. .”

"I mean you can take a break, I don't like talking while driving."

"...Oh, okay, I'm sorry."

Ji Sumian looked out the car window listlessly, and occasionally looked at the driver's back secretly. When eating noodles, he remembered that the driver's chin was square with corners and he had a not-so-thin beard, which looked rough. In fact, it has been carefully trimmed, like HughJackman, full of heroism, but at this time his face is covered by a mask, he is driving the car intently, and there is only a very soft navigation sound in the car, "The speed limit of the road ahead is 100, please pay attention Slow down"... Ji Sumian didn't bother him anymore, thinking that he was about to be homeless, he felt a layer of exhaustion in his heart.

The car parked steadily downstairs in the inpatient building of the Sixth Affiliated Hospital. Zhao Xinyu paid the fare for him, plus the money for the braised egg sausage. Ji Sumian didn't get out of the car. : "Master, can I have your mobile phone number?"

"Why? Complain about my arbitrary charges?"

"No, no, I just... want to thank you very much."

"No, get out of the car, I'm going home."

"Uh...then...can I add your WeChat? That's it. I just returned to China, and I may have a lot of things to do recently. I don't know the way well. Can I make an appointment for a car with you?"

"About a car and call the company's 400 number."

Ji Sumian was speechless. Zhao Xinyu watched the two of them talking outside strangely, and suddenly interrupted and asked, "Do you want to charter a car, the all-day kind?"

Zhong Lei became a little interested when he heard "chartered car", "chartered car is OK, what's the price?"

Ji Sumian hurriedly said: "You set the price, and I can do it according to your schedule!"

"Okay, then you contact me in advance."

After scanning the QR code and adding it to the driver's WeChat account, he got out of the car as he wished, thanked him repeatedly, and waved goodbye.

Zhao Xinyu took Ji Sumian to a barbecue restaurant near the hospital and opened two bottles of beer: "Tell me, what's your situation? Didn't you say that you won't come back for summer vacation? Why are you going back to China now? You failed too many exams and got fired? "

"Sister Xiaoyu, something happened at my house."
