Rebirth, Starting from 2005

Walking behind Yan Xin, Feng Xi loosened and tightened his fists, then said quietly:

"You are so kind. You are so generous to your female classmates. You can give her a down jacket worth 300 yuan as soon as you say it, and you even help her take a taxi."

"She came here today to do me a favor. In such a cold day, she also suffered. She wears so little. Isn't it normal to give her a piece of clothing?"

Speaking of this matter, Yan Xin lost his temper and said:

"I was just taking care of your business by the way, but you are also very good. A down jacket that costs 150 yuan a piece, you can raise it to 300. I said, is that how you are so familiar?"

"I'm sorry, I just said that on purpose because I couldn't get angry for a while. I didn't mean to kill you." Feng Xi said in a low voice.

"Why are you angry? I'm here to take care of your business, why are you angry?" Yan Xin didn't understand.

Feng Xi said pitifully: "In such a cold day, I squat here alone to sell clothes, and no one cares about me. When I see other girls who care about me, I feel uncomfortable when I think of myself, so I can't control myself..."

As he spoke, he sniffed again, and his voice was full of tears: "I'm sorry, I'll refund the money to you."

Yan Xin looked back and saw that she had really gone to get the wallet to count the money, sighed, and said, "Forget it, it's not a lot of money, I bought everything, let alone refund."

But before he finished speaking, Feng Xi took out two hundred yuan and stuffed it directly into the outer pocket of his down jacket.

Yan Xin was stunned for a moment, and said: "Why give two hundred? Even if you want to refund, you can just refund one hundred and fifty yuan."

Feng Xi said embarrassingly: "Actually, the clothes are not that expensive. Although the price is marked on it, other people will bargain when they buy clothes. I can make money for a hundred yuan a piece."

Yan Xin thought to himself: "What a little profiteer!"

Thinking of buying hundreds of dollars of clothes from her today, and not paying back the price, she has cheated a lot.

This little profiteer is really determined to kill him!

Then I thought: "Forget it, let's treat it as sponsoring her tuition."

He asked again: "The purchase price is so cheap, are you down jackets?"

Feng Xi didn't give a positive answer, but said, "It's about down jackets."

Then he added: "Anyway, it's quite warm to wear."

Yan Xin understood.

While speaking, the bicycle has been pushed onto the street.

Standing at the intersection and looking at the sky, the snow was still falling, and his hands holding the handlebars were about to freeze.

Said to Feng Xi: "It's so cold and it's snowing, it's not suitable for you to ride a bicycle back. Why don't we wait for the minibus to come and take a ride back, and put the bicycle on the car and let it be pulled back."

Feng Xi said: "However, there are a lot of people riding in the car now, and there may not be room for my bicycle in the car."

Yan Xin glanced at her: "You can't bear the five yuan fare, right? It's such a cold day, and it's snowing, what's the matter?"

Feng Xi bowed his head and said, "There is really no place."

After a while, he added: "Also, it will take more than an hour for the car to come down."

From the town back to the village, the fare was originally three yuan per person, but because it was the Chinese New Year, the fare was increased to five yuan.

It's like this every year, until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the price will drop back to the original price.

The above is to emphasize every year that the price should not be increased during the Chinese New Year, but that emphasis has no binding force. All privately operated minibuses will increase the price, directly doubled.

On New Year's Eve and the first and second day of the new year, the number of vehicles on some routes will double on this basis.

There is no way, one is for Chinese New Year, and they still need sports cars, so it is normal to want to earn more money.

The other is that there is a lot of traffic during this period, so there is no need to worry about not being able to attract people when the price rises to this price.

With such a price, one car after another is full of people, and some of them can’t even fit in.

Feng Xi's worry was not without reason.

Two young people may still be able to squeeze in, but it may be difficult to fit a bicycle.

If it is put on the roof shelf, the driver may not be willing to climb up on the roof and then tie it up on such a cold day with snow outside, and then climb up to take it down again when the time comes.

Yan Xin frowned, watching the falling snowflakes in silence.

Feng Xi stood behind him, hesitated for a while, and then said:

"It will take a long time to wait for the bus. Why don't we just ride the bike back together? I'll take you back and save a little money, and you don't have to wait here."

Waiting for the bus in cold weather is also a suffering.

There is no station here, so I can only watch the vehicles coming down from the direction of the county on the side of the road, look at the route signs on the front of the vehicles, and wave to stop when I meet the car I want to wait for.

There is no fixed time for those cars, and you have to keep an eye on every car coming down the road, otherwise if you lose your mind, the car you are waiting for may drive past.

Yan Xin can hide in a shop on the street before 3:30, but at 3:30, he has to come out and look at the cars.

It is possible that the car you have to wait for will arrive in a few minutes, or you may have to wait for half an hour.

Yan Xin looked around the square again, but there was no taxi.

Hearing Feng Xi's words, I felt that instead of waiting like this, it would be better to go back on a bicycle.

Of course, he is a big man, it is impossible for Feng Xi to drive him back as Feng Xi said.

If you really want to do that, you will be laughed to death on the road.

So he said, "That's fine, I'll take you back."

"Okay, thank you." Feng Xi finally showed a smile on his face.

She wears gloves on both hands, the kind of gloves that she knits out of wool and exposes her fingers, which can keep her hands warm and not delay doing things—such as counting money or something.

Now I took it off and handed it to Yan Xin: "You will get cold holding on to the handlebars, so wear this."

The hands of the two people are not the same size, but Yan Xin's hand can barely fit in it.

After putting the gloves on, my hands felt much warmer.

Yan Xin got on the bike, pushed forward a few meters, and then said to Feng Xi, "Come on, be gentle."

Feng Xi trotted forward a few steps, caught up with the car, supported the back seat with one hand, bounced, and sat on the back seat leaning over.

The bicycle shook for a while, Yan Xin pedaled twice, stabilized, and walked forward.

When Yan Xin was in junior high school, he knew how to take people with a bicycle. He had taken a fat man of one or two hundred catties, but now he only took Feng Xi who weighed less than one hundred catties, so it was no problem at all.

It was a bit rusty at first, but after stepping smoothly, the speed became faster.

After a while, I took the simple road back to the village.

After stepping on it a few times, he reminded Feng Xi behind:

"There is a pit ahead, please pay attention."

There are too many potholes on the dirt road, some of which can be bypassed, and some cannot be circumvented.

Before he finished speaking, the car bumped a bit, and then an arm wrapped around his waist, and Feng Xi leaned against his back.

He froze for a moment.

Behind him, Feng Xi's timid voice sounded:

"It's so cold today, can I hug you? This will keep you warm."

Yan Xin hummed.

Another arm wrapped around his waist.

The bike wobbled a little more, but soon it was running smoothly again.
