Wang Gang and Liang Fengxia left the forest farm in a car together. Liang Fengxia was in excitement and full of longing for the world in the city.
During the more than two-hour drive from the forest farm to Bianhe, Liang Fengxia kept talking, but Wang Gang rarely spoke and sometimes only responded with one sentence.
?He really doesn’t have much in common with Liang Fengxia.
When the bus arrived, Liang Fengxia was the first to rush out of the car, stood in front of the bus with her hands raised, and shouted: "Bianhe, I'm coming!"
Wang Gang carried his luggage and kept his distance from Liang Fengxia, acting as if he didn't know her.
After Liang Fengxia got over her excitement, she ran over to Wang Gang and said, "Brother Zhaocheng, my classmate said he would wait for us outside the station."
Wang Gang asked curiously: "What does that classmate of yours do?"
"I heard her say that her family has a video store that sells some tapes and so on, but I don't know the details," Liang Fengxia said.
Wang Gang raised his eyebrows and asked again: "Do you have a good relationship with her?"
Liang Fengxia smiled and said: "I used to be very close to her. I took care of her at school."
Wang Gang nodded and walked out of the bus station with Liang Fengxia, and then a girl with a tapered face and fancy clothes came up to them.
"Fengxia."
Liang Fengxia turned around and said happily: "Xiaoling."
The two girls hugged each other and jumped happily. Wang Gang stood aside and looked bored.
After the two reminisced about old times, Liang Fengxia introduced Wang Gang to her old classmate.
"You are the Zhaocheng brother Fengxia mentioned on the phone! My name is Ma Xiaoling, and I am Fengxia's old classmate." When Xiaoling saw Wang Gang, she politely extended her hand, but compared to Liang Fengxia, she was less enthusiastic.
"Ma Xiaoling?" When Wang Gang heard this name, he thought of a woman with single eyelids and long legs.
"Let's go quickly! My mother has prepared a table of dishes for you."
Xiaoling took Liang Fengxia's arm and walked straight out of the station, while Wang Gang was left carrying a bag.
In order to pick up Liang Fengxia and Wang Gang, Ma Xiaoling specially drove a minivan.
"Xiaoling, is this car yours?" Liang Fengxia's eyes widened when she saw the car.
"The car belongs to my dad. I usually use it for purchasing goods. I happened to have nothing to do today, so I lent it to me to drive."
Ma Xiaoling sat in the driver's seat and asked Liang Fengxia and Wang Gang to get in the car.
In fact, there was something that Ma Xiaoling didn't tell Liang Fengxia. She had just obtained her driver's license not long ago. Her father was unwilling to lend the car today because he was worried that she might get into trouble easily as she was a newbie on the road.
Later, Ma Xiaoling still worked hard and had to show off in front of her old classmates to finally get the car key.
Despite her calm and relaxed appearance in front of Liang Fengxia, she was actually very nervous and her hands on the steering wheel were sweating.
Liang Fengxia couldn't see Ma Xiaoling's bluff, but Wang Gang was an experienced driver and could tell at a glance that Ma Xiaoling was a novice.
"I'll take the passenger seat, you go sit in the back seat." Wang Gang handed the luggage to Liang Fengxia, opened the rear door, and asked her to get in the car.
Of course Liang Fengxia had no objection. She had never ridden in a car in her life.
Wang Gang specially fastened the seat belt for Liang Fengxia and then ran to the passenger seat.
After seeing both of them get into the car, Ma Xiaoling stepped on the clutch and started the car.
"Release the clutch, step on the accelerator, and release the handbrake." Ma Xiaoling whispered to herself.
Wang Gang unconsciously grasped the armrest and leaned back.
The car started slowly and moved forward at a snail's pace, not much faster than walking.
Ma Xiaoling was highly concentrated, her whole body was stiff, and her eyes were fixed on the front.
Liang Fengxia also noticed something was wrong at this time and asked: "Xiaoling, have you ever driven a car before?"
Ma Xiaoling said harshly: "Of course I have driven it! After I got my driver's license, my dad took me to drive it for a while. The last time I purchased a car, I drove it."
Wang Gang glanced out the window and saw a bicycle passing by. He couldn't help but said, "Are you really good at this?"
Ma Xiaoling raised her neck and said, "How could I not do it?"
After saying that, Ma Xiaoling stepped on the accelerator and the car sped out.
"Be careful." Wang Gang noticed that the speed of the car was out of control and quickly reminded him.
Ma Xiaoling panicked and shouted: "That's the foot that brakes!"
Liang Fengxia's eyes widened and she screamed.
The car rushed forward at a high speed and was about to hit a bicycle in front of it. Wang Gang held the steering wheel with one hand and pulled the handbrake with the other.
A sharp brake sound sounded, and Ma Xiaoling was so frightened that she let go of the steering wheel and just screamed.
Wang Gang took a hip step, reached the driver's seat with his left foot, and stepped on the brake.
The van stopped dangerously in front of the bicycle.
Ma Xiaoling looked forward in shock, unable to say anything at this time.
"You get out of the car, I'll drive, and you show the way." Wang Gang unbuckled Ma Xiaoling's seat belt and asked her to switch places with him.??
??Liang Fengxia was also frightened at this time, and said to Wang Gang tremblingly: "Brother Zhaocheng, can you drive? How about we walk!"
Wang Gang got into the car, started the car skillfully, then shifted the car into reverse gear and backed the car out.
Now not only Liang Fengxia, but also Ma Xiaoling looked at Wang Gang with admiration.
"Brother Zhaocheng, have you ever learned to drive?"
Wang Gang said calmly: "I learned to drive a tractor in a forest farm and also drove a truck, but I never passed the driver's license test."
The van drove smoothly on the road. Wang Gang turned to Ma Xiaoling and said, "Come show me the way."
Only then did Ma Xiaoling react, pointing to the left and saying: "Turn left at the next intersection."
"There's no traffic police around here! I'm driving without a license. It'll be very troublesome if I get caught." Wang Gang said to Ma Xiaoling while turning the steering wheel.
"As long as there are no accidents here, the traffic police usually don't check the driver's license." Ma Xiaoling said blankly.
Wang Gang drove the car with confidence, and in less than fifteen minutes, the car drove to the downstairs of Ma Xiaoling's house.
"Brother Gu, your car drives more steadily than my dad. If you have this ability, it won't be difficult at all to find a job in the city." Ma Xiaoling said happily.
"You forgot! I don't have a driver's license." Wang Gang pulled on the handbrake, parked the car on the side of the road, and said to Ma Xiaoling.
"A driver's license is a trivial matter. I'll ask my dad to take you to a driving school to get a new one later." Ma Xiaoling took Wang Gang's arm and said:
"Brother Gu, you drive so well, please teach me when you have time!"
"No problem, I will teach you when I have time."
Liang Fengxia looked at Wang Gang and Ma Xiaoling chatting enthusiastically in front of them, and she couldn't help but feel a little disgusted.
"Xiaoling, your family lives in a building." Liang Fengxia looked at the community outside the car and said with envy.
"My dad just bought a house, we moved here not long ago." Ma Xiaoling opened the car door and took Liang Fengxia and Wang Gang upstairs.
The horse's father and mother have been waiting at home for a long time, and have prepared lunch for the two of them.
"Mom and Dad, I brought you back!" Ma Xiaoling shouted as soon as she entered the house.
Wang Gang walked into the house and took a look and found that Ma Xiaoling's house was not big, about sixty or seventy square meters, and the decoration was simple, just painted white.
Father and mother don't look like rich people, they are dressed simply.
Later, when we sat down to chat, Wang just learned that the Ma family originally came out of the countryside and had only lived a better life in the past two years and bought a house and a car.
Father Ma opened a video store, selling some pirated tapes, and made a little fortune. The store's business has been good recently, so he wanted to recruit a clerk to help.
Ma Xiaoling recommended Liang Fengxia. Father Ma thought about it and felt that Liang Fengxia was not bad. After all, she was young and should be able to handle the work in the store.
The most important thing is that Liang Fengxia just came out of the countryside and is relatively cheap. She can handle it with a salary of 200 yuan a month.
However, Father Ma didn't expect to buy one and get one free. Wang Gang also came over, but he didn't need so many people in the store.
"Xiao Liang, you can work in my shop with peace of mind from now on, and don't worry about where you live. I will take care of everything. It's just that Xiao Gu has some trouble at work." Father Ma hesitated and said:
"Xiao Gu, my friend has opened a restaurant. I can recommend you to become an apprentice. You will get a salary of more than 100 yuan per month. When you learn the skills in the future, the salary will be much higher."
Wang Gang smiled and said: "Uncle Ma, thank you, but I have already found a job."
"Found it?" Father Ma looked at his daughter Ma Xiaoling in confusion.
"Brother Zhaocheng, why didn't I know when you found a job?" Liang Fengxia said strangely.
"My grandfather asked an old friend to help me find a job." Wang Gang said with a smile: "Not only that, his friend also helped me arrange a place to live."
Of course Wang Gang was lying. He was just looking for an excuse to leave and look for opportunities to cash in the good things in the space.
It is always inconvenient to have Liang Fengxia around.
"Then where will you work in the future and how can I find you?" Liang Fengxia asked: "Didn't Auntie ask us to take care of each other before going out?"
Wang Gang smiled and said, "I will come find you after I confirm my job and residence."
Liang Fengxia said worriedly: "Then where will you stay tonight?"
"Just find a guest house to spend the night." Wang Gang said.
Father Ma said enthusiastically: "Don't go to the guest house today. I will take care of the accommodation."
