my passenger is sleepy

Si Xiaoqi's face was a little ugly.Passenger transport is different from freight transport. It is not easy to get a route. The route in Lao Meng’s hands was rented from the government at a high price six years ago, and the lease period is 6 years.Now that Si Xiaoqi wanted to get the line, he had to pay back the rent as a matter of course. This was agreed in advance and there was no doubt about it, but judging from Lao Meng's current face and tone, he seemed dissatisfied with the price again.

Si Xiaoqi was a little helpless, he understood why Lao Meng raised an objection at this time: It's too early, if Si Xiaoqi thinks it's too expensive, he can stop this line or even do this business.But now, all the permits are being processed, and a large amount of money has been invested in the initial investment, and it will be too late to withdraw anyway...

There is no turning back when the bow is opened, all Si Xiaoqi can do is wait for Lao Meng to make an offer, and then try to keep the price as low as possible.

Qiao Xin stood up very cleverly and asked the waiter to make a pot of tea. He served Lao Meng a cup of tea and said with a smile, "Uncle Meng has a sip of tea. This wine is good, but it's a bit strong. Let's sit down and drink slowly." chat."

Si Xiaoqi smiled and said, "That's right, what's the big deal? After so many years of friendship, can you still take care of us juniors?"

Lao Meng said with a smile: "The tea is not bad, it smells good."

"Uncle Meng likes to drink Biluochun. This tea is very good. The aroma is not strong but long-lasting. It has a long aftertaste."

"Well, it's a loss when the moon is full," Lao Meng put down the cup in his hand, and said in the posture of an elder, "So, Xiao Si, listen to Uncle's words, in business, you need to be careful about advancing and retreating. Don't always If you want to eat a fat man with one bite, hold back a little bit of energy at the beginning, and then you can make great progress... This, you should be particularly touched, after all, you have also... huh?"

Si Xiaoqi's heart tightened for a moment, and his anger flared up faintly.Hitting people without slapping them in the face, and exposing others without revealing their faults, even if you are an elder, what you say is really too...

Si Xiaoqi groaned secretly in his heart, this old man refuted every word he said, originally he wanted to "speak both words and hit the sidelines", but was used by the other party as a counterattack weapon, and he was educated inexplicably A meal is simply rubbing fire.Si Xiaoqi suppressed the anger in his heart, and said with a smile of [-] points: "Uncle Meng is right, I was too radical back then, and I always wanted to eat a mouthful to become a fat man to end up like this. Thinking about it now, I’m really sorry for my father. In fact, my father taught me before, and if I have anything to ask, I can ask you more in the future, saying that you will definitely help me, so he can rest assured of you. "

"Old Si," Lao Meng sighed, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if immersed in the memories of the past again.

Si Xiaoqi knew that Lao Meng had a little friendship with his father, so he said these words to remind him to "remember some old friendship".Seeing that Lao Meng's expression softened and his tone eased, he immediately picked up the small jug and poured a glass of wine.

"Uncle Meng," Si Xiaoqi said very sincerely, "I also know that you have operated that line for so many years, and the people you know on the road are also familiar, so you must be reluctant. I am very grateful to you for agreeing to transfer it to me, really, If it weren't for the fact that you value love and righteousness, how could you agree so readily because of the ten years of friendship with my father."

"Well," Lao Meng nodded meaningfully, "it's not more than ten years with your father, it's more than 20 years!"

"Then thank you, Uncle Meng, for taking care of me." Si Xiaoqi cleverly raised his wine glass, and before Lao Meng could react, he poured the wine into his mouth in one gulp.

"Take care must be taken care of," Lao Meng took a sip of his wine slowly, "But Xiao Si, there are dozens of people under my uncle who want to eat."

"That's that," Si Xiaoqi nodded cheerfully, "Say, we can discuss it."

"There are still 4 years left on this line, let's turn it on a monthly basis, how about [-] a month?"

Si Xiaoqi's heart sank suddenly. When he initially talked with Lao Meng, it was about [-] yuan, but after two or three days, it suddenly increased to [-] yuan.Of course, everyone knows that it is impossible for him to say that [-] is [-]. There is always room for price reduction, but the limit is [-].

"Uncle..." Si Xiaoqi put on a perplexed look and began to raise the price, "It's still [-] yuan. You see, I borrowed all the registered capital, and my friend sold the house to help me advance the money."

Lao Meng didn't speak, but just kept staring at the dishes on the table. He pointed to a plate of "squirrel mandarin fish" with his chopsticks and said, "Come, come, eat, this dish is cold. Let me tell you." , your father and I both love the dishes of this restaurant, the head chef has been working for a long time, when your father and I came here for the first time..."

Si Xiaoqi's heart immediately sank to the bottom, it was icy cold.

◇◇◇

One meal, from seven o'clock to ten o'clock at night, wished that even supper would be settled together.

Si Xiaoqi stopped a taxi at the entrance of the hotel, threw 100 yuan to the driver and reported his address, respectfully sent Lao Meng into the car, and then watched the car drive away until there was almost no shadow left. Once soft, he sat down on the ground.

Qiao Xin grabbed his arm and helped him to the side of the flower bed on the street and sat down on the edge of the flower pond. It hurts, but I can't care about it now.

"How about it, brother, are you dizzy?" Qiao Xin unbuttoned two of Si Xiaoqi's shirts, and said worriedly, "You drank too much, why are you acting so brave after I told you I'll drink?" ?”

Si Xiaoqi waved his hands, not even bothering to say anything.

Qiao Xin raised her voice and called the waiter standing at the entrance of the hotel, and asked him to buy two bottles of mineral water and bring them over, and then helped Si Xiaoqi drink the water little by little.Si Xiaoqi's stomach was empty at first, and he felt even worse after drinking, so he suddenly said to Qiao Xin, "Go and buy me two breads."

"Going to a restaurant to buy a bowl of noodles is better than bread," Qiao Xin said, "Brother, let me get you something to eat, shouldn't we be right in front of the restaurant?"

Si Xiaoqi shook his hand: "I want to eat bread."

Qiao Xin decided not to compete with drunk people, he beckoned the waiter to let him support Si Xiaoqi, looked around and found that there was a "Bread Talk" across the street, so he walked around the store and bought the most Dear.

Si Xiaoqi took it and took a bite, frowning: "It's really unpalatable."

"Brother," Qiao Xin rolled her eyes, "You don't like bread, but this is the best one in his house. Feifei likes this."

"It's not delicious!" Si Xiaoqi resolutely stuffed the bread with a huge tooth mark on it to Qiao Xin, "Take it back and give it to your wife."

"Thank you so much!" Qiao Xin said, grinding her back molars.

Si Xiaoqi stared at the streetlight for a long while, until his eyes were dazzled, tears flowed from soreness and pain, and he suddenly said: "Xiao Qiao, I want to see Xiao Chen."

"Doctor Xiao is at work."

"I just want to see him go to work."

"Brother, are you alright?" Qiao Xin wanted to grab Si Xiaoqi's shoulder and shake it vigorously, "If you walk in with the smell of alcohol, people might think you were rescued by alcohol poisoning. Big brother, hurry up." Don't make trouble for Dr. Xiao, he will have to take care of you when the time comes. Besides, what if you are on the spot... Ah, what if you grab someone and kiss him!"

"Oh." Si Xiaoqi responded, sitting on the side of the street with her head drooped, her back hunched.

The night is not very deep, the summer night in the metropolis is always full of feasting, it is the world of young people, young people in their teens and 20s dress up enchantingly and gorgeously, shuttle in this city.They have plenty of youth to squander, and they revel in their nightlife.The young girl walked past Si Xiaoqi on her pointed high-heeled shoes, not even bothering to glance at him.

In their eyes, this is a drunken man on the street, a decadent and depressed loser, his hunched figure declares his failure and abjection, and the smell of alcohol all over his body shows his decadence and weakness... Not worth their trouble to take a look!But no one would know that just a year ago, this person was wearing a well-dressed BMW and driving a BMW to various entertainment venues, and he also dropped tens of thousands of yuan as a "reward".

That's all in the past, this man's past, with all his glory and absurdity, is crushed on the busy street, and his future, all his struggles and efforts, will now belong to only one person.

"I'm going to see Xiao Chen." Si Xiaoqi raised his head, his eyes gradually gathered together, and he said clearly to Qiao Xin: "I'm going to see Xiao Chen."

◇◇◇

Qiao Xin and Si Xiaoqi walked to Anhai Hospital.

Si Xiaoqi said that he wanted to dissipate the smell of alcohol and make himself sober, but Qiao Xin did not object.The two of them walked slowly along the street to Anhai Hospital, chatting about the past life while walking, talking, inevitably talking about the future.

"Brother, do you really want to rent Lao Meng's line?"

"We need to rent!" Si Xiaoqi nodded, "Although Lao Meng's asking price is high, it is still much cheaper than running by ourselves, and the road is very familiar, and Cheng Zi has also traveled before, so it will save a lot of trouble."

"But [-] a month is still expensive."

"No way." Si Xiaoqi sighed, this price is indeed expensive, but this is already the limit that can be cut down, for the price difference of less than [-], Si Xiaoqi almost gave Lao Meng a knock.

"This old guy is really a chicken thief," Qiao Xin said angrily, "I still think it's been so many years, so don't be too dark."

"Don't be stupid," Si Xiaoqi laughed softly, "He's not your parents, why should he take care of you? To put it bluntly, taking care of you is a 'love' and not taking care of it is a 'duty', and they don't owe you anything , in business, maximizing profits is always the primary goal.”

"But, just in case, brother, how much is our monthly turnover?"

"Everyone loses money when their business starts." Si Xiaoqi took a deep breath, looked up at the dark blue night sky, and tried to speak in a brisk tone, "It is said that when my father started his business, he took his The whole family lost money, and in the end my grandma almost sold the ancestral house to pay off the debts of her son... It didn't get better in the end."

"Let me remind you, brother, you don't have an ancestral house to sell."

"So I don't have any worries at all!" Si Xiaoqi raised his head and laughed boldly, "It's amazing that I will continue to live in your basement, and then take the bus to go there. I don't have a wife or children, and I won't die of hunger."

Qiao Xin thought about it and was also happy.

Really, where is the worst that can go wrong, isn't it just to lose the more than 700 million yuan?That house belonged to Si Xiaoqi in the first place, so he could lose as much as he wanted, and everything returned to its original place.Besides, I still have a small restaurant. Even if my eldest brother really has no money in the future, he can live on this small restaurant.

The two brothers quickly forgot the [-] and walked into the gate of Anhai Hospital together, laughing and joking.

It was almost eleven o'clock, and the emergency room of the hospital was extremely busy.Probably there was a fight together. On the chairs in the emergency room, there were more than a dozen half-grown young men covered in colorful clothes, either with a broken head or a bloody hole on their arm. They scolded each other cleanly.Three or five police officers lowered their voices and told them to "shut up" and not disturb other patients.

Qiao Xin and Si Xiaoqi walked along the wall and stood in a corner of the hall from a distance to look around. 2 The door of the consulting room was wide open, and there was no one inside. It is estimated that Xiao Chen was busy in the suture room.

Si Xiaoqi tugged at his clothes, just sat on the edge of the flower pond, soil was rubbed on his pants, and now he looked particularly conspicuous in the brightly lit hall.He bent down and patted the dirt on his body vigorously, snorted his hair again, and rubbed his face.Under Qiao Xin's extremely shocked and strange eyes, he walked steadily towards the sewing room.

Si Xiaoqi stood at the door, looked in through the half-open door, Xiao Chen was really busy, his white coat was stained with blood again, half of his face was covered by a blue mask, his eyes were focused looking at the patient.It was a young man around 20 years old, with a knife wound more than ten centimeters long on his arm, and Xiao Chen was suturing him.

Si Xiaoqi watched quietly, he just liked watching Xiao Chen at work.He is very serious, very devoted, and his brows are tightly locked. If he dares to talk to him now, he will definitely be scolded, and maybe he will be dragged out by the security guards...

Xiao Chen is very fierce when he scolds, and without dirty words, he will never give you time to breathe. He can say seven or eight long sentences in one breath and scold you like one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.

Xiao Chen also knows how to tap acupuncture points. If you drive him crazy, he won’t be bothered to talk nonsense with you. He will just do it. What kind of ulnar nerve and inch nerve will definitely make you lie down properly...

But ah, I'm so fucking rare on his model, it's so simple!

Si Xiaoqi smacked his mouth, feeling that it is impossible to find another person who suits his heart so much.

◇◇◇

Xiao Chen used tweezers to tie the end of the thread into a knot, and slowly straightened his waist. He felt that his waist was about to break.If I had known that I would be so busy tonight, I shouldn't have worked so hard in the morning. It would be cool to be a dead chicken, and I would be "cut in half".

When he raised his head, he saw Si Xiaoqi standing there through the half-open door, and beside him was the big flowered arm that smiled at him strangely.Xiao Chen led the patient out of the suturing room, and when he walked past Si Xiaoqi, he raised an eyebrow at Si Xiaoqi.

Si Xiaoqi shook his head and pointed at the policeman, which meant "I'm fine, you can do your work first."

Xiao Chen handed over the patient to the police with some doubts, and then went to the triage department to have a look. There was another one that needed stitching, and it had already been taken to Dr. Li, so he could steal ten minutes of free time for now.Xiao Chen quickly walked a few steps to Si Xiaoqi's side, took off his mask and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Busy." Si Xiaoqi said that he didn't answer the question.

"Ah, a bit," Xiao Chen scanned Si Xiaoqi up and down, "What's wrong with you?"

"Doctor Xiao is fine, my elder brother just misses you." Qiao Xin said with a playful smile.

Xiao Chen's face turned red.

Si Xiaoqi nodded very seriously: "Well, I just miss you."

"You... you can take your time." Xiao Chen stammered a bit, he felt his face was getting hotter.

"I've finished my work. I'll come to see you. I'll leave in a while so I won't disturb you."

"Oh," Xiao Chen said as if remembering something, "I bought quick-frozen dumplings and put them in the refrigerator. You can cook them later."

"There is no fire in our house, have you forgotten?"

"I also bought an induction cooker!"

"Wow!" Qiao Xin yelled from the side, "Brother, I never thought of putting an induction cooker in your room."

Si Xiaoqi ignored Qiao Xin and just looked at Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen thought for a while and said, "Go back and go to bed early. I cleaned the air conditioner today and it can be turned on. Don't turn it on too cold, it's almost fine."

Si Xiaoqi nodded again, then turned his head to look at Qiao Xin, his eyes were so cold that he was freezing to death: "How long are you going to stand?"

"Ah? Ah!" Qiao Xin came to his senses in an instant. He smiled at Xiao Chen like a morning glory, and then said in a very doggy way: "Doctor Xiao, I will disappear right away, right away!" After finishing speaking, he really ran away in a puff of smoke up.

After Qiao Xin ran away, Si Xiaoqi lowered his voice and approached Xiao Chen and asked, "Tired?"

Xiao Chen squinted at him, but said nothing.

"You say you, you shout tired down below, and you cry tired up above, where are you going? Or... in the middle? I'll hold a hanger in the room tomorrow..."

"Shut up!" Xiao Chen yelled, "It's all right if you have something to do, hurry up and get out!"

"It's okay," Si Xiaoqi smiled, "I just want to see you. Okay, I'll go first if you're busy with your work, and I'll go home early after get off work tomorrow."

Si Xiaoqi didn't hesitate, just left as soon as he said it, waved his hand and really greeted Qiao Xin to leave.Xiao Chen was left standing in a corner of the hall, staring at his back with a red face and a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Sun Jing was holding a tray, standing at the other end of the hall, looking at Xiao Chen foolishly.
