Chapter 50 The Old Ox Eating Watermelon
When the two of them came out of the grove, the boatman was still standing there, with an expression that looked like he was enjoying a good show.
Qi Tongwei walked over and said, "Go to the mouth of Yantai River."
"I..." Liang Lu was uneasy: "I want to go too."
"Come up."
Qi Tongwei pulled her back.
He believed it after what had just happened.
Liang Lu would never dare to have any improper thoughts about him again.
However, he was also helpless.
I can make the daughter of the third-ranked provincial official love me to death.
It’s all because of this damn charm that has nowhere to go.
"okay."
The boatman shouted and began to row the boat forward.
Qi Tongwei smiled: "You won't charge me again this time, right?"
"No, no." The boatman waved his hand: "The money your wife gave me just now is enough for more than ten round trips."
"She is not my daughter-in-law, she is just a friend."
"I see."
The boatman smiled obscenely.
Qi Tongwei didn't explain, but Liang Lu leaned her head on his shoulder.
Five hours later, we arrived at the mouth of Yantai River.
Yantai River Mouth is not far from Yulong Town, and the rest of the journey can be walked.
Originally, Qi Tongwei wanted to go directly back to the police station.
But he suddenly remembered that Zhang Bin's 28-inch bicycle was still parked at the railway station viewing area.
He took Liang Lu and walked around Yulong Town from east to west.
During this period, Liang Lu wanted to grab Qi Tongwei's hand several times.
But she shrank back timidly.
But in fact, she was very happy because it was good to have Qi Tongwei by her side.
……
Arrived at the train station to check the train.
Qi Tongwei was stunned by the price his boss said.
"how much is it?"
"Five dollars!"
"Isn't it only five points for one day? I've only had it for two days?"
"That's five cents a day during the day, and you have overnight fees, storage fees, and labor costs.
There is also a fee for being on tenterhooks, five dollars is not much.”
"Why is there still a fee for being on tenterhooks?"
"You don't understand this? I'm afraid if you leave your car with me, what if it gets stolen? Don't you agree?"
"You are really good at finding new ways to cheat people out of money."
"How can you talk like that? You look fair and clean, like a cultured person. You are not going to default on your debt, are you?"
"Five dollars is too much, give me a 10% discount, fifty cents."
"No."
"It has to be okay even if it doesn't work."
Qi Tongwei didn't want to pay the money, so he grabbed the bicycle and pushed it out.
How could the boss let him go? The two men started pushing and shoving each other and arguing.
Liang Lu felt her pocket. She had just given all the money to the boatman and now she had no money left.
"I don't want the car anymore, I'll give it to you."
Qi Tongwei threw the bicycle to the ground and turned away.
"Really?" The boss didn't believe it: "Then I'll sell it to you later, don't blame me."
"up to you."
Qi Tongwei thought to himself, the car isn't his anyway, so you can sell it if you want.
I left the car here for you to see for two days, and you're asking for five bucks?
I work at the police station and my monthly salary is less than twenty dollars.
So you spent eight or nine days' salary just to look at cars for two days?
The car is not yours yet, it belongs to Zhang Bin, so let him pay for it later.
Leave the car viewing area and walk a long way.
Liang Lu couldn't help but ask: "Are you really going to give him the car?"
"That's not my car, it belongs to my colleague. I just left it there two days ago, but who knew the boss would ask for such a high price?
Also, you shouldn’t have spoiled the boatman just now. It would have been better to give him more than a hundred dollars than to give him to me.”
"Are you short of money?"
"Of course, Miss Liang." Qi Tongwei stopped and looked at her seriously: "So, this is the gap between us.
You have never lacked money since you were a child, but I still have no money.
We are not a good match, but you still keep pestering me.
Even if we were together, there would be no good results in the future.
You should have sensed it from what happened today."
Liang Lu nodded, feeling mixed emotions.
She only knew that she liked Qi Tongwei, but forgot to consider many factors.
"Okay, let's not talk about this." Qi Tongwei changed the subject: "Since you have come with me, I must make sure you have fun.
Although we don’t have the prosperity of big cities, we have our own characteristics.”
"it is good."
……
Qi Tongwei brought Liang Lu to the police station.
Zhang Long was standing at the door, chewing a piece of watermelon: "Is the work done?"
"Yeah." Qi Tongwei nodded: "I finished it yesterday and came back by boat this morning."
"Who is this? Your girlfriend?"
"No, it's a classmate who is coming to my hometown to play for a few days."
"Oh, there's still half a watermelon in the room. Go eat it quickly, or Zhang Bin will eat it all."
"okay."
inside the house.
Zhang Bin was putting watermelon into his mouth with a spoon.
When I looked up, I saw Qi Tongwei.
"Hey, I'm back. Come and eat watermelon."
Zhang Bin was very happy to see Qi Tongwei come back.
These days, he has been the only one working the night shift, which has exhausted him greatly.
Actually, it was okay not to work the night shift before.
But with Qi Tongwei's advice, Zhang Long took it seriously and insisted on working the night shift.
Zhang Long is his uncle and also the director of the institute. Zhang Bin dared not disobey his orders.
Qi Tongwei's return is truly his savior.
"Row."
Qi Tongwei handed a piece to Liang Lu first.
By the way, she explained her identity to Zhang Bin.
He also recounted the entire incident of picking up the car just now.
"That's really too much." Zhang Bin was angry: "I'll go and settle the score with the boss later. No, I'll go now."
Zhang Bin walked out of the door with a watermelon in his arms.
Looking at his receding back, Zhang Long walked into the house with a puzzled look on his face: "What happened to him?"
"His car was seized by the owner of the car inspection office and he went to settle the score with him."
"Is this true?" Zhang Long also got angry: "They dared to confiscate the police station's car. Do you really not want to stay in this town? I'll go over and take a look too."
Zhang Long put his big hat on his forehead and turned to leave the police station.
"The customs of the people in your area are quite tough."
"Hey? Teacher Liang." Qi Tongwei was unhappy: "How can you say that? These are just some trivial matters and cannot represent our local customs.
Besides, it was the boss who was wrong just now. You can’t just blame everyone for one or two bad people.”
Liang Lu nodded: "Then why should we go to your house to take a look?"
"Why do you have to go to my house?" Qi Tongwei was confused: "Besides, my parents have already met Chen Yang.
If you go again, how should I introduce you?
How do you face them?"
"Friends, or classmates, isn't that how you introduced them just now?"
"Aren't you going to walk around the neighborhood? Besides, my house isn't a tourist attraction."
"There's nothing better to do nearby, and I'm not here for tourism. Maybe I'll go back after visiting your house."
"Really? You're kidding."
Qi Tongwei's eyes lit up. He finally heard that Liang Lu wanted to leave.
