Rebirth 2010, the best

Chapter 12 Beautiful Country

Lu Yao felt more at ease now that his mother had approved of him.

That bastard Lu Qing was a nasty person. If he dared to bring this up again after he came back, he would bring up the old Buddha:

"Our mom has agreed that I should be kept by a rich woman, who do you think you are?"

After dinner, the school beauty from the vehicle management office went out with her face covered in greasy skin care products.

During the days when he was taking the college entrance examination, Chen Aihua specially asked for annual leave from the vehicle management office. While she was not at work, she wanted to take good care of her skin and show off her son's filial piety to her neighbors.

Lu Yao rested at home for a while, looked at the time, and found that it was already past 3:.

Have to go out.

Mr. Xu is still waiting, so we can't be late.

……

After taking a subway, Lu Yao, wearing a white shirt and black casual pants, arrived at Fortune Garden under the gaze of several girls who were obviously college students. He went straight down to the basement and got into the X6.

At 4:, he arrived at the entrance of the crematorium.

Didn’t notify Xu Ruochu.

Instead, he sat in the car and listened quietly to the sound coming from the speaker connected to his mobile phone's Bluetooth.

"Chateau..."

Or it’s an audio introduction to Cheval Blanc Manor.

In fact, it was nothing else but this old set of audio files was recommended to him by a French student from the previous graduate school. He said it was a supporting product when France promoted French all over the world back then. The audio files are especially suitable for French beginners to practice in terms of speaking speed and grammar, so he started using them.

Study while checking the time.

At 4:59, Lu Yao turned off the Bluetooth on his mobile phone.

The player automatically paused and dialed Xu Ruochu's number.

Dudu~
"Hello, Mr. Xu, I'm already at the door. Do you need me to pick you up?"

"No need... I've already seen you."

Xu Ruochu's voice sounded a little hoarse again.

And Lu Yao also saw her.

After hanging up the phone, he got out of the car directly and came to the passenger side, waiting to open the door for the other party.

He was not curious about the rich woman's background.

It doesn't mean to flatter someone with an attentive attitude.

It is normal for a driver to open the door for his boss.

When Xu Ruochu came up to him, he nodded politely:

"Mr. Xu."

The car door opens.

The silent woman got into the car.

Lu Yao walked around from the trunk to the main driver's seat, got in the car and asked:

"where are we going?"

"go home."

Xu Ruochu said with his eyes closed.

"Ok."

……

The car was driving on the road and Xu Ruochu didn't say anything.

She didn't speak, and Lu Yao didn't speak either.

After driving through three traffic lights in silence, Xu Ruochu took out his cell phone, pressed it twice, and saw an icon indicating that the battery was empty.

Seeing this, she leaned back in her chair and said to Lu Yao:

“Do you have any songs on your phone?”

"Have."

"My phone is out of battery. Please connect to Bluetooth and play some music."

Lu Yao thought to himself, why don’t you just turn on the radio?

But he nodded anyway, and while the traffic light was red, he turned on the Bluetooth, and then just as he turned on the player on his mobile phone, the car stereo suddenly automatically started playing the French music that he had not finished listening to.

"Le vin Franais est premier au classement général ..." (French red wine ranks first overall)

As soon as he finished speaking this French sentence, Lu Yao clicked pause.

Acting as if nothing had happened, he opened the music player.

However, Xu Ruochu looked at the central control electronic LCD screen in surprise, where there was a line of words.

Song title: "Red Wine Tasting" Episode 3 - Alsace (Original Soundtrack)
Artist: French Cheval Blanc Wine Association
Does he know French?
As soon as this somewhat doubtful thought came to mind, I saw the two lines of handwriting change:
Song title: "Calm Sea"

Artist: Chen Yongtao

"..."

Xu Ruochu wanted to ask, but when the prelude of the music sounded, she remained silent.

He squinted his eyes tiredly.

"The south wind is so tempting..."

"Flirting all the time..."

Inside the car, there was a long and lingering song.

I have to admit that Lu Yao chose this song very well.

It’s around 5 o’clock in the summer, and dusk is just beginning.

The sunlight gradually turned golden and sprinkled on the road.

In the speakers, the guitar melody of Hakka folk songs began to ripple gently:

"Paddle a boat,

One hundred meters away from Wanwan.

The sea is calm,

The sun is fading...”

Appropriate to the time and situation.

Xu Ruochu fell in love with this song instantly.

Especially when the melody of this song mixed with the sunset and reflected on her face, the smell of burning yellow paper in her mouth and nose faded.

Still sad.

But sadness is soothed by this little melody and warmth.

Even though it is insignificant, it is like sweet rain falling on the dry lips of the traveler walking in the desert.

I enjoy it very much.

I instinctively turned my head to look.

Lu Yao next to him seemed to have lost his standard posture because of this song.

Instead, he held the steering wheel with one hand and leaned on the car door with the other.

The posture is somewhat casual.

But in the casualness, there is an indescribable brilliance.

White shirt, clean and pure.

The shirt is glowing.

It contrasts with his fair face as he drives.

Subconsciously, Xu Ruochu turned his head away.

She didn't know why she did this.

I just feel that... maybe the sunlight is too dazzling.

It was so dazzling that at that moment, she felt that the 18-year-old boy began to glow again.

"Take a boat...

800 meters away from Wanwan.

Is there joy?

The Milky Way flows eastwards."

……

Fortune Garden underground garage.

Lu Yao, who had been silent all the way, finally spoke:

"Mr. Xu, are you going out tonight?"

Xu Ruochu turned his head and looked at him, then asked:

"how?"

"If you go out, I will wait for you in the car and will not go up."

Xu Ruochu understood Lu Yao's subtext.

Or if I hadn't paid the ten thousand yuan, based on the cold personality displayed by the other party, this should have meant "If you don't go out, I'm off work", right?

She hesitated for a moment and nodded: "You can go off work."

"Okay, Mr. Xu, goodbye."

"and many more."

Seeing that he was about to run away, Xu Ruochu called him unconsciously.

"How...are you going to get back?"

"subway."

Lu Yao responded politely.

But after hearing this, Xu Ruochu thought about it and handed back the car keys that Lu Yao had just given him:

"Open this one."

"Boss Xu, this is inappropriate..."

Lu Yao was about to refuse.

Xu Ruochu said:
"A thousand a day salary just to get you to give me two trips?"

"..."

Lu Yao was stunned...

But for some reason, Xu Ruochu regretted after saying this.

Just when I was about to apologize... I saw Lu Yao nodded:
"Okay, I understand. If you have any questions, just call me anytime."

After taking the key, Lu Yao walked to the car door, but Xu Ruochu hadn't left yet.

But looking at him.

"Boss Xu, is there anything else?"

"you……"

Xu Ruochu hesitated for a moment and said:

"What I meant just now was..."

"I understand, Mr. Xu."

Lu Yao's expression remained calm.

"It's true that we didn't ask for working hours, and considering the intensity of the work, this is as it should be."

"..."

In an instant, Xu Ruochu felt that this big boy was a little difficult to deal with.

This temper...why is he so serious?

Finally, she nodded:

"okay."

"Mr. Xu, you go first. Goodbye."

"..."

Xu Ruochu left.

As she was about to walk into the security door of the basement, she turned her head and looked.

The X6 ignites, starts, and leaves.

All in one go.

No nostalgia at all.

Unconsciously, she pursed her lips.

Even a very strange idea popped into my mind.

A clean boy wearing a white shirt was driving a BMW X6 on the street...

Would it be too dangerous?
Thinking of this, her brows furrowed.

……

As it turned out, Xu Ruochu was overthinking.

Lu Yao drove safely all the way, without any bumps or distractions. After returning home safely, the security guard Chen Bo looked at him driving and asked in confusion:
"Yaoyao, whose car is this?"

"My boss, I found a part-time job during the summer vacation. Uncle Chen, I'll leave the car here first and move it to my parking space later. Please keep an eye on it for me."

"it is good."

The old man nodded and picked up two more triangular stakes.

After getting off the car, Lu Yao jogged all the way back home, but the school beauty from the vehicle management office had not returned yet... She probably didn't know her son would come back so early.

He didn't care. After finding the car keys from the drawer, he ran downstairs quickly.

My home is in a very old residential complex. There were actually no parking spaces planned in the early years. Later, the lawns were cleared and the landscape trees were cut down to create parking spaces.

Some are sold, some are rented. The one in Lu Yao's house was bought. At that time, Chen Aihua worked at the vehicle management office. After finding that there were more and more cars, he thought that it might be difficult to find a parking space in the future, so he spent a "large sum of money", 30,000 yuan, to buy a parking space.

Now the price of this parking space has risen to 14.

This is one of the few glorious deeds that Ms. Chen can tell everyone she meets.

And parked in the parking space worth 05 yuan is a 3 BYD F.

When Lu Yuanshan bought this car, he spent less than 60,000 yuan in total. Now it has depreciated greatly. According to Chen Aihua, when the second-hand car dealer she knew heard about this car, he gave it a purchase price of 25,000 yuan for the sake of "Sister Chen"...

The car is worthless.

But it brings a lot of happy times to the family.

Especially when it was first bought, when the weather was windy and rainy, Lu Yao and Lu Qing were sitting in the car being taken to school by their father or mother, the feeling of warmth and security, protected from the wind and rain, is still vivid in my mind.

Lu Yao started the car with a familiar yet unfamiliar feeling, put it in manual gear, and moved the car from the parking space to the gate of the community. He saw Chen Aihua just passing through the gate of the community, and he shouted:
"mom."

Chen Aihua was stunned, looked at Lu Yao who got off the car, and asked:
"Why go?"

Luyao Yizhi X6:

"My boss asked me to bring the car back and wait for orders. I moved the car to our parking space."

"Oh."

Chen Aihua nodded, took a look at the black BMW, and took the keys from his son.

When Lu Yao parked the car in the parking space, Chen Aihua was already standing by the road waiting.

“Is this the end of get off work?”

"Yes, the boss asked me to leave work."

"This is a really good job. Did your boss ask for anything else?"

"..."

Looking at his mother's narrow eyes, Lu Yao sighed helplessly:

"Mom, your son is a serious man."

Ms. Chen heard this and shook her head slightly:

"It can't be."

"..."

Lu Yao was speechless and simply rolled his eyes, and in return his mother took his arm.

"Your Aunt Sun called me just now. Do you remember her?"

As they walked upstairs, the mother and son chatted about family matters.

"Aunt Sun is back?"

Lu Yao was a little surprised.

Chen Aihua nodded:

"Yeah, I also saw Qianqian. She came back to get the property certificate, and I bumped into her. Oh, girls really change a lot when they grow up. Qianqian has also changed. She is so beautiful now."

The "Qianqian" in my mother's mouth is Sun Qian, the daughter of Aunt Sun. She and Lu Yao are childhood sweethearts, and they have been playing together since they were young. However, Aunt Sun divorced when Lu Yao was in junior high school, and remarried to a rich man who drove a Mercedes-Benz. Soon Sun Qian followed Aunt Sun abroad and rarely came back.

"Sun Qian is back too? How is she?"

"I've been admitted to a university in the United States. I think the name of my major is... I forgot, but it's management. Didn't she contact you?"

"You asked this question... If she contacted me, would I still ask you?"

"...Yeah, you two had such a good time together when you were little. I remember when she left, she came to our house to say goodbye to you, and you were quite sad."

"It's sad, of course, but I understand."

"Understand what?"

"Sun Qian, she has always had high standards. No matter how close we were as children, she has been gone for so many years, so it is normal for our relationship to become distant."

"Indeed, I've seen and eaten it in the United States. That's a developed country..."

While the mother and son were talking, they had already returned home.

Chen Aihua, who opened the door, did not see his son's pouting lips.

True.

America may be a beautiful country.

But something...

Got to learn to say NO.

Got to learn to say QNM.
