People passing by shouted, "Do you need help?"
Huang Dan shook his head and shook the water out of his ears. He said he didn't need it. After thinking about it, he said Nie Wenyuan's address again, and asked how long it would take to get there.
The man said it wasn't far, about half an hour later, "If you cross this road, the water level in front of you will be lower, and it will be easier to walk."
Huang Dan breathed a sigh of relief, that's fine.
"By the way, when I came over, I saw a car parked on the side of the road. I don't know which car it is. You can go and ask. Maybe someone will drop by and take you for a ride."
Huang Dan was stunned, it might be that Nie Wenyuan sent someone to pick him up.
But would Nie Wenyuan do that
The original owner's memory told Huang Dan that Nie Wenyuan would not send a car to pick up his little nephew. Perhaps in his opinion, boys should be trained more and suffer more, not to mention that this is not a big deal.
Huang Dan walked to the intersection with a stomach full of suspicion. He saw the car and recognized that it was Nie Wenyuan's car, which had been in it before.
The driver said, "The director sent me to pick you up."
Huang Dan said thank you, "I have water all over my body. Sitting in it will make the car dirty."
The driver said with a smile, "I have prepared a set of clean clothes and trousers for you. I put them in the back. That's what the director meant."
Huang Dan moved his brows, a little surprised.
The driver could see the young man's thoughts, "Although the director is a little more serious, he is very nice, and he always thinks very thoughtfully when he thinks about things." The premise is not to step on his bottom line and not to involve principles.
"I know."
Huang Dan opened the back door and sat in. He first took off the shoes that had been in the water, and then lowered his head and took off all his wet clothes. The skin on his body was soaked in water, wrinkled and a little white. , icy cold.
The driver was not interested in the child's body. He looked at the water on the road and muttered to himself with a sad face, "I don't know when it will be back."
Huang Dan quickly changed into that clean set of trousers. The top and bottom fabrics were fine, but they didn't fit well. They were much bigger and had a faint soapy smell. They belonged to Nie Wenyuan, he guessed.
After sneezing, Huang Dan rubbed his nose. He rolled up the sleeves of his shirt and rolled up his trouser legs. He looked like a little kid in adult clothes.
The driver turned his head to look, "You can cover the blanket next to it, the director won't say anything."
This has two meanings. One is that someone wanted to cover it up before, and Nie Wenyuan said something unpleasant, and the other is that Nie Wenyuan doesn't like others touching his things.
Seeing the young man shake the blanket and put it on his lap, the driver feels more and more obedient, and wants to rub his head. It is really hard to imagine that he is a little gangster who has squatted in labor camps. He must have grown up, xingzi A lot has changed.
"Can I ask you a question?"
Huang Dan put the wet clothes into the bag, "Yes, you can ask."
The driver asked, "The car almost overturned that time. Why did you keep your uncle in your arms and how did you do it?"
He seemed to be afraid of touching a certain scripture of the youth, and hurriedly explained, "I don't mean anything else, I just feel incredible, to say something ashamed, I have been driving for so many years, and I can only protect myself when danger comes, and I can't take it into account. others."
Huang Dan raised his eyes, "Did he ask you to ask me?"
The driver said no.
Huang Dan sighed, "I'll talk about it when he asks me."
The driver said, "I'm afraid the director won't ask the exit."
Huang Dan said, "Uncle is a weird person."
The driver's mouth opened wide. After he was surprised, he coughed several times in a row, choking on the saliva in his mouth, "This is not what I said."
Huang Dan said, "Well, I thought of it myself, it has nothing to do with you."
The driver was amused by the youth and remembered his son who was studying abroad. He started the car and couldn't help but say, "You are different from the rumors outside. The director will like you. He likes sensible and obedient children."
Huang Dan nodded incredulously.
At the destination, Huang Dan got off the car. The water level here was much lower than in the alley. He put on those wet shoes, walked up the steps, and shouted at the iron gate.
The person who came out to open the door was an old nǎinǎi with gray hair and fairly neat hands and feet.
Huang Dan knew that she was Wu nǎinǎi. She lived with Nie Wenyuan in Nie's house back then, and she is still taking care of Nie Wenyuan until now. She is like half a mother.
Wu nǎinǎi led Huang Dan into the living room and told him to quickly take off his wet shoes so as not to soil the blanket on the floor.
Yellow single did.
Wu nǎinǎi did not go to her own business, but oversaw her, her aged face disappeared.
