Rebirth: I Want to Collect Rent

As passengers got out of the car one by one, the car gradually became wider. There were also a few more empty seats.

The woman who was sitting together with Hao Liang saw an empty seat, held her child in her arms, and took a seat on the other side of the aisle from the waved car.

The hailing car drove for a while, and Hao Liang could already see the appearance of Songzhen. There were no high-rise buildings a few years later, only rows of small third-floor houses.

"Songzhen has arrived, everyone can get off the bus. Don't forget everyone's things." The conductor waited for the driver to stop the car and said to the remaining passengers.

Hao Liang saw that he had arrived at the station in Songzhen, and stood up from his seat. He looked at the woman holding the child just now, holding her child with one hand, and still struggling to carry her bag with the other hand.

After seeing it, Hao Liang came over and said, "How about I help you carry your bag? It's not convenient for you to hold the child."

The woman raised her head and glanced at Hao Liang, shook her head, and said nothing. Hao Liang also knew that she clearly rejected his kindness.

Since he was rejected, Hao Liang didn't mind his own business anymore. He got off the beckoning car and went outside the station. A group of motorcycle riders gathered around him outside the station. They all greeted Hao Liang to get on his motorcycle.

.

"Where are we going? Do you want to make a tricycle?" A middle-aged man asked Hao Liang.

"I want to go to the umbrella factory here. How much does it cost?" Hao Liang asked.

"Go to the umbrella factory, I'll give you 10 yuan, and my tricycle is there." The tricycle master raised his hand and pointed at the motorcycle tricycle not far away.

"Are you going to the umbrella factory? Can we share one?" A nice female voice said from behind.

Hao Liang turned around and went back, only to see the woman who had just held the child standing behind him, holding the child in one hand and holding a bag in the other.

"Well, you're going to the umbrella factory too, so let's go together and I'll help you carry your bag." Hao Liang said.

"No, no need, I can just hold it myself." The woman said a little warily, as if Hao Liang would take her bag and run away.

Hao Liang touched his nose, took back his outstretched hand, and followed the tricycle master.

When they arrived at the tricycle, the woman holding the child bargained with the master. The total for her and Hao Liang was fifteen yuan.

A shelf was made by electric welding on the back bucket of the tricycle, and the entire back bucket was wrapped with a piece of canvas to form a small compartment to protect it from wind and rain.

After Hao Liang got into the car first, the woman was so excited that she picked up her bag and put it in the car bed. Hao Liang once again extended his hand to help.

"Don't look at me like this, I can't run away in the car." Hao Liang said, looking at the woman who was eyeing him.

"Thank you! It's inconvenient for me to hold the baby." After saying that, the woman let go of her hand holding the bag and waited for Hao Liang to put her bag away before going up.

Hao Liang put the bag away, stretched out his hand and said to the woman who was still standing on the ground, thinking about how to come up: "Give me your hand, it will be difficult for you to come up with the child in your arms."

The woman looked at Hao Liang's outstretched hand, then stretched out one of her own hands and placed it on Hao Liang's hand.

Hao Liang held the woman's hand and felt that the woman's hand was very smooth and felt like he was getting an electric shock. Fortunately, he didn't get stunned. He pulled the woman onto the bed of the car.

The two sat down on the stools in the carriage. The woman thanked Hao Liang again and stopped talking.

"Are you seated? I'll drive once you're seated." The tricycle driver driving in front shouted.

"Okay, go ahead and drive." Hao Liang replied.

With a few sounds of "Bump, bump, bump.", the tricycle started and moved forward quickly. The woman was holding the child, and there was no place to support her. She was about to fall on the side of the truck.

Hao Liang quickly stretched out a hand, grabbed the woman's clothes, and asked her to stabilize her body. After the tricycle was stable, he squatted down and helped the woman.

"Thank you. If it hadn't been for you, my child and I would have fallen down." After the woman sat firmly, she thanked Hao Liang again.

Hao Liang looked at the beautiful woman. When he helped her, he felt that the woman was very soft. If the woman hadn't been so beautiful, Hao Liang might not have cared about her.

"You don't need to thank me. You've said it several times. It sounds like your accent is not from here."

"Well, my husband works in an umbrella factory. He came here from his hometown after the Chinese New Year. I just arrived today."

"Oh! Why didn't your husband come to pick you up at the station? How dangerous it would be for you to go there alone with your child."

"Is there any danger? If he asks for leave, his salary will be deducted. There is a lot of money in this day. Do you also go to work in the umbrella factory?"

"No, I'm going to discuss a business deal."

"Are you the boss? The people here are so good. They are all bosses." The woman said with some envy.

Two people were talking loudly in the carriage. If the voice was lower, they would not be heard clearly. The noise from the tricycle made the whole carriage very noisy.

"You sit inside, I'll sit outside. Your child will catch a cold later," Hao Liang said, looking at the wind blowing in.

"Okay, thank you. I'm fine. The child is about to get cold." The woman thanked Hao Liang again and changed seats with Hao Liang.

The tricycle is very bumpy and has no shock absorbers. In addition, the current roads are not very good. When the tricycle is driving, if the tire hits something, it will jump up. The bodies of both people are constantly shaking.

Jitter.

When the woman saw Hao Liang, he stared at her chest again. This time, she turned away and pretended not to see him. She also stopped talking to Hao Liang.

After a bumpy ride, the tricycle suddenly stopped. Unprepared, the woman fell directly towards Hao Liang.

Hao Liang quickly reached out and hugged the woman. At this time, the voice of the master driving the tricycle came, "The umbrella factory is here."

"Can you let me go first?" The woman looked at Hao Liang's hand on her chest and said softly.

"Ah, okay. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it." After Hao Liang said this, he reluctantly withdrew his hand, earning another look from the woman.

Hao Liang helped the woman get out of the car with her luggage, then helped her carry her bag, went directly to the front, and paid the fifteen yuan.

"My money is in the bag next to my bag. You put it down and I'll give it to you." The woman said to Hao Liang.

"No, let's forget the money. Do you live in the dormitory in the factory here? How about I send you back," Hao Liang said.

"No, it's only a little way. I can go in by myself. It won't be good if others see me. Please give me your bag." The woman turned her head and looked into the factory and said.

"What's your phone number? Can you leave me a message? You're in this factory. I can ask for your help if I have anything to do in the future." Hao Liang said as he handed over the bag.

"I don't have a phone, why don't you give me your QQ number and I'll add you as a QQ friend when I have time." The woman said as she took the bag from Hao Liang.

"I said it again, do you remember? Why don't you tell me your QQ number and I'll add you as a friend." Hao Liang took out the mobile phone in his pocket and said.

"You tell me, I will remember it. When I get to the place later, I will just take a pen and write it down again." The woman did not tell Hao Liang her QQ number, but asked Hao Liang to tell her his QQ number.

Hao Liang also heard the rejection in the woman's mouth, but with a little hope, he reported his QQ number to the woman. He also reported it several times and asked the woman if she remembered it.

The woman nodded, picked up her bag, and walked towards the small door of the umbrella factory. Hao Liang looked at the woman's disappearing figure and then realized that he had not asked her name yet.

Hao Liang patted himself on the head and then walked towards the gate of the umbrella factory. Just as he was about to go in, he was stopped by an old man guarding the door.

"Wait a minute, young man, who are you looking for here? If you are looking for a job, register with me first." The gatekeeper said as he got his head out of the window.

Hao Liang quickly took out a pack of newly bought cigarettes, opened it, took out one and handed it to the uncle at the door, "Uncle, I came here to buy a batch of umbrellas. I want to ask where to reserve these umbrellas."

The uncle took the cigarette handed over by Hao Liang, lit it, pointed to an office building not far away and said, "Have you seen that building? When you go to the third floor, when you see the sales department sign, go in directly

.”

"Thank you, uncle." Hao Liang took out another cigarette and handed it to the gatekeeper to express his thanks.
