Siheyuan: I became a truck driver

When everyone saw Xiao Yun coming, they all came forward to greet him.

"Okay, Xiao Yun, you didn't even inform us guys about your marriage, are we still going to be friends in the future?" Duan Jinsheng punched Xiao Yun in the chest and blamed him with a smile.

Everyone knows that the relationship between the two is a joke.

The others also gathered around.

Xiao Yun smiled and gave everyone a cigarette. "I didn't mean to hide it from you. The main reason is that the date hasn't been decided yet. What if something unexpected happens after the announcement? What should we do?"

Duan Jinsheng took a puff of his cigarette and nodded twice, "That's true."

After chatting for a while, Duan Jinsheng got back to the point.

"Okay, then we'll see you on the 29th. We'll all go to support you. You should prepare well in these few days. If you need anything, just tell us." After Duan Jinsheng finished speaking, he took She Xingwang and Hou Feng to the truck.

Li Huaide gave them a task. They had to transport some things and they were not as free as Xiao Yun.

Li Ping and Xiao Yun were left alone. Li Ping finished his cigarette and asked, "Xiao Yun, have you bought everything for your wedding?"

Xiao Yun shook his head casually, "Not yet. My boyfriend's family also needs a lot of things, but they haven't been bought yet. There are also some things that I don't have tickets for."

Xiao Yun said this deliberately. He can be flamboyant in his own work, but he should be more low-key in front of outsiders.

After hearing this, Li Ping forced a smile on his face, "Xiao Yun, before delivering the special supplies, didn't I ask for a watch ticket from everyone? Now I'm not married, and I don't need a watch. If you need it, you can buy it from me."

Xiao Yun nodded, "Yes, there is such a thing, but if you don't need it now, you can use it after you get married. Why do you want to sell it to me?"

Li Ping laughed awkwardly a few times, "Hehe, it's like this, I bought a watch and spent almost all the money I saved. So life at home is difficult, and the New Year is coming soon, and there is no spare money at home."

"Just consider it as you are doing me a favor, Xiao Yun. I know you are in need of a watch now, so just buy this one of mine. I promise it will be as good as a new one. If you don't help me, I'm afraid my family won't be able to celebrate this New Year."

"My parents and my sister are all counting on me. Although my salary is coming soon, it's only enough for my family to survive and we can't have a good New Year."

Faced with Li Ping's begging, the smile on Xiao Yun's face gradually disappeared, and he heard a hint of moral blackmail in it.

In order to avoid a falling out, Xiao Yun continued to laugh, "So... when you bought the watch and prepared to get married, didn't you consider how to celebrate the New Year?"

"You're putting all your hopes on me now. I'm under a lot of pressure."

Li Ping shook his head. "I thought we could get married and collect the gift money, but I never expected something like this to happen."

"Xiao Yun, I can only put all my hopes on you now. You must help me, otherwise my parents will not be able to celebrate this New Year."

"They are so old, and they wanted to have grandchildren, but I didn't let them have them. If they don't have a good year, I will be labeled as an unfilial person."

The more Li Ping spoke, the more excited he became. The more Xiao Yun listened, the calmer and colder his heart became. His impression of Li Ping also gradually worsened.

If Li Ping tells the truth directly, then there is nothing wrong in buying him the watch.

After all, Li Ping's watch was for his wedding, and now that he is not getting married, it makes no difference whether it is new or old.

But now, Li Ping's continued moral blackmail made Xiao Yun very unhappy.

Using wedding gift money to celebrate the New Year is simply unrealistic.

Every household is not well off these days, and the New Year is coming soon. Who doesn’t want to make a new set of clothes and a quilt for the family? At the very least, at least you will buy some more peanuts and melon seeds to liven up the atmosphere.

No one would give a lot of gift money to others.

The gifts received can cover the cost of the banquet, which means the relative is living well and has good relationships with others.

But is Li Ping such a person? Xiao Yun doesn't know much, but from now on, he is not.

How likable can a person be who can attribute his filial piety to others and even expects others' behavior to highlight whether he is filial or not?

"Li Ping, what brand is your watch and how much did it cost?"

Li Ping's eyes flickered. "Shanghai brand, bought for 100 or 180 yuan."

Xiao Yun nodded silently, "Then how much are you going to sell it to me?"

Li Ping chuckled and rubbed his hands a little embarrassedly, "Xiao Yun, I know you have strong connections behind you, can you take it for 200?"

Xiao Yun thought he had heard it wrong, "How much? Two hundred?"

Li Ping raised his head as a matter of course, "Yes, Xiao Yun, don't react so strongly. Logically, I shouldn't add more money, but didn't the factory manager say today that the cost of your wedding will be charged to him? In this way, won't you have some money left?"

"Logically speaking, you said you've been in the truck shop for more than half a month. Apart from a fish and a pack of cigarettes, what else have you said?"

"We accept you, but you have to be sensible, right? Plus, you have some spare money now, so just spend an extra twenty and treat it as a New Year's greeting to me, your brother."

Xiao Yun exhaled deeply and wanted to laugh, but his bitter expression made it impossible for him to smile at all.

"Li Ping, ..."

Xiao Yun wanted to say something but stopped himself. He smiled self-deprecatingly. Looking at the man in front of him, with whom he had been living for half a month, he suddenly felt that he was still too young.

To the point that some people blindly trust others, glorify others, and imagine that everyone is very kind.

As they had no intersection in the past, Xiao Yun thought Li Ping was an honest man. But now it seems that he is not honest at all.

Would an honest person use moral blackmail and the status of an elderly person to oppress others?

Bullshit!

For Xiao Yun, it is not difficult to buy a second-hand watch by paying an extra twenty dollars, but it requires a sense of friendship.

If He Yuzhu did this, Xiao Yun would agree because He Yuzhu had always been nice to him.

If Duan Jinsheng did this, Xiao Yun would agree, because he had given him advice when he first entered the industry.

But Li Ping, not only does he rarely communicate and interact with me, he also tries to use moral blackmail. Forget about it!

Xiao Yun didn't want to talk to Li Ping any more, so he immediately said, "Li Ping, I have to go to my boyfriend's house to confirm the wedding date. As for the watch, let's talk about it later."

Li Ping's face immediately turned cold, "Xiao Yun, is this considered a rejection?"

Xiao Yun did not respond. He looked at Li Ping with cold eyes and smiled, then turned around and left the workshop.

Li Ping looked at Xiao Yun's back and clenched his fists tightly until the back disappeared completely. Then he got on the truck angrily.

Duan Jinsheng was sitting in the carriage. Noticing Li Ping's reaction, he immediately opened the door, got out of the car, and walked over to ask.

"Li Ping? What's wrong? Weren't we supposed to talk about watches? Why are you back so angry?"

Li Ping was still unhappy, and his attitude towards Duan Jinsheng did not change at all. "Humph, he doesn't agree. If you ask me, he has strong connections behind him and doesn't look down on us, the local workers. He is so arrogant because he has the support of the factory director!"

Duan Jinsheng glanced back at the direction where Xiao Yun left. He didn't know what happened and didn't dare to make a hasty comment. He patted the car door and said, "Okay, we still have the transportation mission to do. Adjust your mood and don't let it affect your work."
