On New Year's Eve, people returning from all over the country reach their climax on this day, and foreign license plates can be seen everywhere on the streets.
Jiang Qiao took Fairy Bai out and took several minutes to get a taxi outside the community.
"Master, a first-class pot."
"I just came from that way, and the traffic jam was really bad." The taxi driver said in a very helpless tone.
Jiang Qiao chuckled and said, "It's the New Year, it's the same everywhere, even taking a taxi depends on luck."
During the traffic jams along the way, Jiang Qiao habitually held Fairy Bai's hand and looked at the crowds of people outside the car. The shops along the street were also very busy.
"My express delivery seems to have arrived." Fairy Bai suddenly said.
"Where?"
"Hive Express Cabinet."
"Oh, it's okay. I'll pick it up when I get home. It's in the community anyway."
He gently pinched Fairy Bai's fingers, with a smile in his eyes: "What did you buy?"
"Just some things used by girls." Fairy Bai bit her lip.
Jiang Qiao thought his girlfriend bought some cosmetics, so he secretly scratched her palm with his fingertips.
"My fairy, you look great without makeup."
The driver subconsciously glanced at the rearview mirror. Although the girl was wearing a mask, she had pretty features and an outstanding temperament. The face under the mask was also very beautiful.
"Not cosmetics."
"That is… "
At this moment, an ambulance siren suddenly sounded from behind, and the high and low sound effects seemed to be urgent and mixed with pain.
"What's the sound?" asked Fairy Bai.
Jiang Qiao glanced back.
"An ambulance should mean that someone is seriously injured or seriously ill and needs to go to the hospital for treatment immediately. The sooner you arrive, the more likely it is to be cured."
Fairy Bai looked at the traffic environment in front of her. The intersection was still a red light, and there were about seven or eight cars blocked in front of her. Trying to get to the hospital unimpeded was nothing more than a dream.
Not to mention that it is the Chinese New Year, and you may encounter the current situation at any intersection.
"But the ambulance is blocked," she whispered.
"You won't be blocked." Jiang Qiao smiled and patted the back of Fairy Bai's hand.
Bai Xianzi didn't know where Jiang Qiao's confidence came from, but as soon as he finished speaking, he felt the car slowly move to the right, and the front of the car almost hit the road shoulder.
The siren of the ambulance behind her was getting closer and closer. She subconsciously turned around and glanced out of the rear window of the car. Incredibly, she found that the cars on both sides of the road had all turned to the side at 45° angles, forcibly making way for an ambulance in the middle of the lane. There is enough road for cars to pass.
This kind of tacit understanding spontaneously formed by countless drivers makes people unable to help but feel moved from the heart.
Watching the ambulance with the emergency siren gradually go away, Fairy Bai asked with complicated emotions: "Why is this happening?"
"Because time is life. In this great people-oriented country, every ordinary person is a part of it. Making way for the ambulance now may be making way for yourself in the future. After all, people will inevitably get sick in this life. There is no guarantee. One day I will be in an ambulance."
"Young man is right." The driver laughed after hearing this. "I won't charge you for this journey. I'll drive you for free."
"Master, you must not say that. It is not easy to make money during the New Year. You must give what is due."
Looking at the red light that had started counting down, the driver sighed: "We ordinary people can't make much contribution to the country. The only thing we can do is to take care of ourselves and not cause trouble to the society and the people."
Jiang Qiao quickly gave a thumbs up: "It's not simple. Doing every ordinary thing well is extraordinary."
"Hahaha, yes, there was a young mother who couldn't think of jumping into the river for emotional reasons. I personally watched three or four people jump in without hesitation, and then rescued her. But I couldn't help it. Swim, or I’ll jump too.”
"You are a hero too."
"You can't even call him a hero, he's just one of thousands of good people."
The red light turned green and the taxi started slowly. Probably every driver and master was very talkative. Along the way, they chatted with Jiang Qiao about the current situation of society and the changes in the past twenty years. Finally, the topic ended with the country being peaceful and the people living and working in peace and contentment.
"The money is paid, uncle."
"Okay, walk slowly, young man."
Jiang Qiao held Fairy Bai's hand and said with a smile, "Seeing that you remained silent along the way, did you realize something else?"
"Well, I have a deeper understanding of the word people-oriented." Fairy Bai nodded lightly.
"This is why it is said that 'seeing is worse than hearing, and practice is worse than seeing.' When we travel after the new year, you will see more similar things."
Fairy Bai nodded, raised her chin and looked at the sign not far ahead, where the words Yipinguo were written on it, and asked: "Here?"
"Yes, we are on the second floor. The box is... Let me see, Zhuxuan."
Jiang Qiao led Fairy Bai upstairs and saw that the hall was already full of people, and the air was filled with the smell of delicious food.
"Business is so good," she said subconsciously.
"After all, it is one of the best restaurants in our area. The signature Yipin Hotpot tastes very good. Anyway, if you have money, you will always treat us today, so you can eat as much as you want."
After finishing his words, Jiang Qiao looked at the nameplate on the door frame, Zhuxuan had arrived.
Holding Bai Xianzi's hand and pushing the door open, she saw Wu Youcai, who was already wearing a white coat. Wu Sujin was sitting next to her brother. From the moment Bai Xianzi entered the door, she never took her eyes away.
"Sister Bai, the seat here is reserved for you." Wu Sujin patted the empty seat next to her, looking very attentive.
"Thanks."
The two of them sat down, with Fairy Bai on the left of Jiang Qiao and the one in a white coat on the right.
"Old man, everyone has been waiting for you for half an hour, why are you here now? You have to punish yourself with two drinks, right?"
As he spoke, he snapped his fingers at the waiter: "It's time to serve."
"Drinks are fine, but wine is fine."
Jiang Qiao rolled his eyes: "Don't you know how congested the road is? It's good to be here."
"Ha, I'm just joking with you. I know you've given up drinking. Even if you haven't, you wouldn't dare to drink if your sister-in-law is here." Wu Youcai smiled coquettishly.
Old God Jiang Qiao glanced at him and said, "Yue Ling knows what's going on. Even if you say that, you can't trick me."
He touched Bai Yu's arm: "How many days have you been free during the New Year?"
"I'll start work on the fourth day of junior high school." The white coat looked helpless. "I'm pretty good. At least I got five days off. Some departments only have three days. I have to be on duty in my thirties and first year of junior high school."
Jiang Qiao couldn't help showing sympathy: "Thank you for your hard work, angel in white."
On the other side, Wu Sujin took the opportunity to chat with Fairy Bai. She also felt strange. If this girl liked CaiGou, why didn't she look at that guy? Would she be a little too enthusiastic towards her
After a few minutes, the waiter started serving the food.
The staple food is a whole roasted golden and crispy suckling pig, and there is no shortage of other kinds of chicken, duck, and fish. Finally, the signature Yipin hot pot is available. At a glance, you can see abalone, shark fin, and sea cucumber stacked in the pot. , chicken, duck, ribs, winter bamboo shoots, mushrooms...all kinds of delicacies are available.
Looking at a table full of delicacies in front of him, Jiang Qiao said: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, Mr. Qian is so arrogant when he treats guests. Why don't you all pay respect to one first? Thank you, boss. Happy New Year, boss. I wish you good luck."
"Ha, have fun together."
Everyone smiled and drank the drinks in their glasses.
"If you want to talk about honors, we need our angels in white who save lives and heal the wounded. It's hard to find time to have a meal with us."
"Yes, yes, let's go one more..."
Fairy Bai picked up an abalone full of soup and put it into her mouth. She leaned into Omi Jiangqiao's ear and said, "This is delicious."
"It's a signature dish." Jiang Qiao smiled and put another one in her bowl, "If it's delicious, eat more."
Bai Yu put down his chopsticks with a speechless expression: "Hey, old man, showing affection at the dinner table is really too much."
Looking at the three singles in front of him, Jiang Qiao smiled "disdainfully": "If you don't show off during the New Year, when will you show off? If you have the ability, find one yourself."
"Hold!"
"White coat, what should I do if I really want to hit him?"
Only Wu Sujin was completely unaware. She continued to add vegetables to Fairy Bai's bowl: "Sister Bai, try this grilled pork chop. It tastes really great!"
"Sujin, no... no need, you can eat it yourself."
"Sister Bai, try this hairy crab, and this soup is also good..."
The heating in the room was on, and several people were chatting and laughing. Jiang Qiao was so hot that he took off his coat and hung it on the chair behind him.
"Old man, you said that your coat is a couple's outfit, even the sweater is the same. Is that intentional?" Wu Youcai was indignant.
Jiang Qiao was surprised: "You discovered such a secret thing?"
“…”
"If my sister-in-law hadn't been here, I would have given you two kilograms of wine today!"
Jiang Qiao looked proud: "If you have a wife, you can do whatever you want."
Hearing him say this in front of others, Fairy Bai was so embarrassed that she lightly stepped on his feet, while feeling a little happy in her heart.
After the five flavors of the dish were gone, several people had almost eaten, and they leaned back on their chairs to eat quietly.
Jiang Qiao threw the key towards Wu Youcai. He held it in his hand and looked at it carefully: "The one on the mountain?"
"Well, I've almost packed everything. We'll leave after the New Year. You can go anytime now. I'll give you the supplier's contact information tonight."
"Okay." Wu Youcai took a sip of tea, "Have you made it clear to your uncle and aunt?"
"Not yet, let's talk about it after the New Year."
Bai Yu was confused as he listened: "What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"
"Dunzi is going on a trip with his sister-in-law. The return date has not yet been determined, so I will help him take care of the small shop on the mountain first."
"Honeymoon trip? Are you planning to get married?" Bai Yu said.
The two people under the table held each other's hands. Jiang Qiao shook his head and smiled, looking at Fairy Bai with eyes full of affection.
"The world is so big, I want to accompany her to see everywhere."
He turned back to look at the other three people: "So, today's meal is equivalent to your practice banquet for me. I don't know when we will meet again."
Bai Yu pursed his lips: "If you say it so sadly, I don't believe you two won't come back after getting married?"
"So, White Coat, your conditions are not bad. Are there not good-looking nurses in the hospital? Don't just think about work all day long, you also have to think about your own life events."
"Forget it, being in a relationship is not as good as being single."
Wu Youcai looked at him with a heartbroken expression: "Old Bai, please introduce me to a pretty nurse."
"Get out!"
A few people laughed and made noise for a while. Wu Youcai went out to pay the bill, and then led the others to the KTV opposite.
"What is KTV?" Bai Xianzi asked in a low voice.
Jiang Qiao gave it up first: "Hey hey hey, you'll know in a minute."
Singing with a fairy? It always feels a little exciting.
When I walked to the door of Crystal KTV, I saw the colorful neon lights flashing in the hall, the smell of alcohol in the air, and the faint sound of singing coming from the private rooms inside.
Fairy Bai squeezed Jiang Qiao's hand hard: "Isn't this the song and dance hall you mentioned before?"
If I remember correctly, at night there would be many scantily clad young girls standing at the door soliciting customers. You can imagine the service content in the store.
"It's a dance hall, yes. The one you think of is informal, but this one is serious." Jiang Qiao explained.
Fairy Bai looked at Wu Sujin, who was still accompanying her, and thought about it carefully. If she was that kind of dishonest, Wu Youcai would not dare to bring his sister to such a place.
Following the waiter to the private room, Wu Youcai took the lead in ordering Zhou Huajian's "Friends" and the two in white coats sang there in harmony.
Fairy Bai frowned slightly while sitting on the sofa. The lights above her head released colorful magical flashes, making the group of people look like ghosts. There were noisy dubbing and singing in her ears. This atmosphere made her feel slightly uncomfortable as soon as she entered. .
