Chapter 947: Arrived (Didn't Meet)

~7 min read 1,398 words

Seven o'clock, it was already a pitch-black winter night, but the surroundings were brightly lit, completely devoid of the darkness of night.

Song Tan also arrived at the edge of the Imperial Capital's outer ring on time.

After getting out of the car, Qiaoqiao hurriedly put on his clothes and jumped up like a grasshopper, then began to perform a set of stretching exercises in a serious manner.

Song Tan had just called the driver, and seeing this, she couldn't help but tease: "Little follower, I told you that riding in a car is very tiring. Are you coming next time?"

Qiaoqiao was stretching with one hand on his waist and the other extended. Hearing this, he immediately said: "Of course I'm coming! Otherwise, I'd be in the car for so long, and you wouldn't have anyone to talk to, sister. It would be so lonely and boring!"

Song Tan:...

If you didn't come, maybe I could listen to an audiobook or music! With you here, the whole carriage is left with the sound of reciting poetry... I can't take it, I really can't take it. I won't bring you next time.

On the other side, the driver who had been waiting on the side of the road received the call and hurriedly drove over. Seeing Song Tan, he was stunned for a moment before asking: "Ms. Song?"

Song Tan paused—she hadn't heard this title for a long time. She nodded at the moment: "Yes, it's me. May I ask your surname?"

The driver looked at her as if she didn't touch the spring water with her ten fingers, and then looked at the dilapidated pickup truck still covered in dust. His expression was split.

"Put the rest in the trunk, please handle with care—never mind, I'll do it."

Driver Li didn't intend to hide it, and said: "Looking at the market, eight thousand to ten thousand is normal, and twenty or thirty thousand is possible if the market is good... Our company has a good reputation and many orders! We have other businesses when we are free!"

Qiaoqiao touched it: "It's really cold—didn't you bring a scarf again? What about gloves!"

We also have a big one here near the ring road, and the children have to take it to visit and learn when they go to school!

Qiaoqiao had to change the subject: "Is Wanheyuan far?"

Qiaoqiao was already used to such eyes, and sat in the only remaining back seat: "Let's go, first go to Wanheyuan on Zhongzheng Avenue."

But tomorrow really won't work.

Then he sat directly in the passenger seat: "I want to sit in the front!"

"Let me see—" Chang Xiao walked over and accurately picked out the things: "Eggs, these two boxes of strawberries, a box of watermelons, and these... put them all in the back seat."

Qiaoqiao:... I heard that drivers in the Imperial Capital are very good at chatting, but this Driver Li, is he from Tianjin? Why is he so happy?

He lay on the car window, his expression both fresh and puzzled: "Sister, they all live in such big buildings, where do they plant vegetables? On the roof?"

Song Tan saw the night view of a big city for the first time, and the low buildings of the Imperial Capital were far more shocking than going to the Ningcheng amusement park in the summer.

He twisted his body desperately from the passenger seat: "Sister, are you going to build a snowman tomorrow?"

It's just that the siblings both look delicate, and they don't look like they've worked in the fields at all... Oh, maybe it's an ecological vegetable garden? Or a soilless cultivation base?

But the instinct of a working person has already appeared: "My surname is Li. This is my driver's license. The company should have backed it up for you... Shall we change cars now?"

"Just bought more than two hundred jin of radishes!"

He looked at the siblings Qiaoqiao with curious eyes, and also felt a bit regretful—after all, the tone and demeanor of Chang Xiao's speech were obviously different from adults.

Song Tan nodded: "Yes, move the things under the seat to this car... You can find a place to put my car."

Song Tan's eyes lit up when she heard it. She didn't dare to twist her body, but her head turned forward desperately: "Sister! Go to the palace to see the snow... Uncle, which palace are we going to?"

"Besides, look at the weather. The forecast says heavy snow tonight. It's been overcast all day, and I see it's going to rain... Driving by yourself in an unfamiliar place, and the navigation isn't familiar... Oh my, look, it's really raining!"

The driver held it not too hard, but it seemed a bit slower than her. The siblings then each took half, and distributed the positions in two or three strokes.

Driver Li guessed their identities in every way along the way, and now he has grasped the pulse! They are engaged in pastoral work!

And Song Tan opened her mouth wide looking at the car window, and said with surprise: "It's not rain, it's snow pellets... Wow! Snow in the Imperial Capital, our family hasn't had snow this year!"

Chang Xiao wasn't sleepy, but Qiaoqiao had been tossing all day. She reached out and patted Song Tan's shoulder: "Put the seat down, you sleep for a while first."

Driver Li had made the navigation early. At this moment, the car started and flowed smoothly into the lane, while he couldn't help but praise: "Ms. Li, you are well prepared. Many people from other places come to the Imperial Capital, tossing around the third ring road, and end up stuck halfway... It's troublesome..."

He has also been there. The vegetables are clean and beautiful without insect eyes, but as for the taste... Hey! That's it, anyway, there is no vegetable taste.

Qiaoqiao pushed his head back: "Sit properly, we are not building one."

"Creak—" Driver Li stepped on the brakes.

Chang Xiao calculated: "Ten thousand... so much... Uncle Chang, if you have ten thousand, you can buy... um, um..."

"Oh!" The driver was also happy: "Where else? The Forbidden City! The red walls and green tiles with snow on the eaves, it's beautiful! And there are many people taking pictures in the Forbidden City on snowy days! You two go and rent two sets of concubine and emperor clothes to take pictures. The girl is good-looking, and the young man is also handsome. It will be beautiful! Go to the Lama Temple to worship, it's miraculous!"

Driver Li:...

The wipers had already started working, and the driver was still chattering: "Oh, you came at the right time! Once it snows, it won't stop tonight! Tomorrow you can just go to the palace to see the snow scene—you bought tickets, right?"

At this moment, I heard Chang Xiao answer: "We don't plant vegetables, our work is too busy, we can only find you to buy vegetables."

Song Tan also took a breath, seeing the white air under the street lamp, and couldn't help but smile: "Sister, it's much colder here than at home! My face is frozen."

The air conditioner sound gradually quieted down, the driver opened a crack in the car window, and the cold wind accompanied by the noise of the road quickly drilled in, and together with it, there were icy particles.

Look at how Song Tan was hooked, she was already yearning for it.

Song Tan said "Oh", and looked forward to it: "The salary must be higher than mine... Uncle, how much is your salary?"

Song Tan immediately started pretending to be stupid, covered her ears and shook her head: "Can't hear, can't hear."

Driver Li replied: "There is some distance. You see, we are still on the East Third Ring Road, and they are on the West Third Ring Road. It's slow to drive in the snow, maybe we will be stuck in traffic... Hey! You know about the traffic jams in the Imperial Capital, it's fatal... How about you two sleep for a while?"

"Don't worry," Driver Li said while opening the car door: "We have a special parking place near our branch, prepared for customers like you... Should these things be put in the back seat or the trunk?" ===== CHAPTER 948 =====
