The second day.
It's just dawn.
In the morning, downstairs of the family courtyard.
Dong Xuebin walked out of the corridor of the unit with two suitcases, one large and one small. He squinted to avoid the light hitting his face. He found his Land Rover parked in the yard, opened the trunk and put the luggage in. After going up, he immediately made a call to Ma Bin, director of the county government office, called him downstairs, gave him the door key to his dormitory and office key, and signed the document. At this point, Dong Xuebin was completely The relationship has been cleared in Zhenshui County, the handover has been completed, and the entertainment has been completed. It is time to leave.
Dong Xuebin originally wanted to leave quietly. He said goodbye to everyone who needed to say goodbye, and he didn't want to make too much noise, so he got up so early. But maybe it was because I stayed downstairs for a long time, or maybe because my conversation with Ma Bin was a little loud, but someone still heard me.
After a while, many people came downstairs.
There is Pu An, there is Chang Juan, there is Li Xiaona, and so on.
"County Magistrate Dong."
"Why are you all down?"
"I have to see you off. Why are you leaving so early? I thought you had to leave in the morning."
"Thank you everyone. No need to send them away. Just return them all."
"Wait a minute, we still have some local specialties that we haven't got for you."
"Hey, I just sneaked away because I didn't want to cause any trouble to you."
"County Magistrate Dong, no, I should call Director Dong. You should be more careful when you go back. This is a mask. You should wear it. I heard that there is an outbreak of bird flu in the capital recently. Please be more careful."
"Okay, I'll take it, thank you."
"Drive slowly. Have a nice trip and come back when you have time."
"Okay, sure, everyone, please take care of yourself and see you again when you have the chance."
Many people came out. Dong Xuebin even saw Jiang Fangfang's face peeking out from behind the glass from a window upstairs. Dong Xuebin nodded to her calmly and said goodbye to everyone before opening the door. Got in the car, waved and drove away. He could never bear this kind of scene, and always felt a little sour in his heart, so he turned on the music and played a song called "Blooming Life" by Wang Feng. The exciting song also diluted Dong Xuebin's heart. Feeling sad and melancholy, Dong Xuebin opened the side glass, letting the wind whistling on his face, and letting his hair and clothes move with the wind. Dong Xuebin tapped the steering wheel with one hand and hummed unconsciously.
Half an hour later, the car drove out of the suburbs of the county.
Dong Xuebin did not look back, his eyes were always looking forward, but he said silently in his heart, "Goodbye Zhen Shui."
One hour…
Two hours…
three hours…
In the morning, Dong Xuebin crossed three cities in a row and headed east.
At noon, Dong Xuebin had something to eat at a restaurant in a small town, and then continued to drive while listening to music. It was very leisurely. It could no longer be regarded as rushing, but should belong to the category of sightseeing. Sometimes, in an environment Next to a nice lake, Dong Xuebin would stop the car, squint and smoke a cigarette, or even go for a half-circle around the lake before continuing to drive forward.
stop-and-go.
Youzaiyouzai is awesome.
All the burdens on his body have been put down. Now he has no official position, no job, no worries, and is enjoying this rare leisure.
"I want a life in full bloom..."
"It's like flying in the vast sky..."
Dong Xuebin sang tunelessly, because the windows were open and the sunroof was also raised. When the vehicles passing by on the highway passed Dong Xuebin's slow Land Rover, they would move to the driver's seat of the Land Rover speechlessly. Looking at him, his singing voice couldn't be said to be pleasant. But Dong Xuebin is still very thick-skinned in this environment, and has no scruples at all. He sings and shouts when he should, and it is extremely enjoyable.
Front.
It's the express service area again.
Dong Xuebin parked the car and went to the bathroom.
After coming out, because he was too lazy to go to a restaurant in the evening, he went to the supermarket to grab some snacks and burgers before checking out and going out.
"Ride?"
"Well, is it convenient?"
"Look where you went?"
"I'm not very familiar with this place. Anyway, it's in the direction of the capital."
"There, that's not the way to go. I have to get off the highway in front of me."
"Haha, it's okay, thank you too."
Outside the supermarket, Dong Xuebin heard voices. It was the back of a middle-aged woman who seemed to want a ride and was asking a young couple driving a Jetta if they were on their way. Dong Xuebin is not unfamiliar with the word hitchhiking, but he has never tried it. After hearing that he was going to the capital, he couldn't help but take a second look. Although he couldn't see her face, the woman in the back must be quite old. , black leather shoes and black stockings on the feet can be seen, the style is relatively old-fashioned, the shoes are not very new, young women basically do not wear this kind of shoes, and the slightly plump figure and the husky The magnetic voice must be around forty years old. Hey, why does it look familiar
there.
The woman tilted her head and asked the next young man.
"Can I take a ride on the way? Towards the capital."
"Capital? I won't go there either."
"Approximately where can we go? You can also take me for a while."
"I'm still in a hurry to do something. I'm sorry, sister. Please ask again."
"It's okay, thank you too, young man."
The woman hit the wall several times and failed to get on the bus. She looked at the scorching sunshine above her head. It was already past two o'clock in the afternoon. It was the hottest time of the day in summer. A lot of sweat could be seen on the shirt on her back. The bra straps were translucent and seemed to be flesh-colored. Seeing that there was no one around, she wiped the sweat from her forehead and walked to a shady place under the eaves of the supermarket to hide from the sun.
Dong Xuebin got back into the car. After reversing the car, he thought about it and drove in the direction of the woman. He pressed the window and said loudly: "Sister, are you going to the capital?"
The woman covered her eyes with the sun with one hand and looked over, "Yes."
Dong Xuebin could only see half of her face under her hands, "I'm also going back to the capital, so I'm on my way, but I may not be able to get to the capital, so I have to go to Fenzhou City to do some business first."
"It's okay, just give me a ride."
"Okay, then you can get in the car."
"Okay, thank you, young man."
The woman walked out of the shade and stepped on the hot ground.
As soon as he put down his hand, Dong Xuebin also saw her face. She had her hair tied up, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and a gold-rimmed glasses chain hanging behind her ears. She was a graceful and elegant middle-aged girl. A beautiful young woman, if it were someone else, Dong Xuebin would usually glance at her breasts and thighs subconsciously after looking at her face, but this time Dong Xuebin didn't, because this face made him stunned.
The woman, whose eyes were dazzled by the sun, opened the door and got into the car.
Dong Xuebin was surprised and said: "Teacher Jiang! Haha! It's really you!"
Jiang Min was startled, took a closer look at the young man, smiled for a moment, pointed at him and hesitated, "Dong... Dong Xuebin."
Dong Xuebin was flattered, "Oh, do you still remember me?"
Jiang Min was also surprised and said with a smile: "You have only graduated three years ago. Can I not remember you?"
The beautiful woman was a teacher at Beijing Union University. When Dong Xuebin went to college, Teacher Jiang was not only the class teacher of Dong Xuebin’s first class in the computer department, but also taught them advanced mathematics. It can be said that she was taught by Teacher Jiang for four years. Moreover, Dong Xuebin’s father passed away later, and his family’s financial situation was extremely poor. Teacher Jiang also knew about this at the time, and later took Dong Xuebin to her faculty dormitory to cook for him more than once. When he was about to graduate, Dong Xuebin failed in one subject. Yes, it was Teacher Jiang who helped him to intercede, and he finally passed. Therefore, Jiang Min can be said to be Dong Xuebin’s most respected teacher in his college career. He didn’t expect to meet him here by chance.
Dong Xuebin was so happy, "I really didn't expect to meet you here. It's so far away. Why are you here? You don't have classes?"
"It's summer vacation."
"Hey, I forgot about this."
"Haha, I'm here for a trip. I'm getting older and my health is getting worse. I just wanted to get some exercise, so I went out with my colleagues."
"Why did you get a ride?"
"Isn't this popular among you young people? I want to experience it too."
"Hey, it's so dangerous for you to be alone, and in such a remote place."
"Originally, several colleagues drove here together. Teacher Zhang Hai, do you know? Oh, you may not know that the new teacher who came after your graduation, Lao Zhang, was ill and had an emergency. He went to the hospital but did not recover. Later they So I drove back. Lao Zhang wanted to lie down, and there was not enough room in the car, so I said I was walking alone, so I didn’t go back with them. No, I wanted to take a ride and walk slowly. " Jiang Min pushed. Pushing the golden edge, he said, "I originally planned to go to Weiyang City in the afternoon to have a look and then find a hotel. However, the driver who took the ride in the morning had something to do here, so he left it at the service area for me. I asked for a long time. No one was heading towards Weiyang, or they just didn’t want to pull me. Look, I was sweating all over, and there was no place to take a taxi. It’s a good thing I met you.”
"What a coincidence, haha."
"Are you also going back to the capital?"
"Yes, and I'm not in a hurry. If you don't mind, tell me where to go, and I'll take you there. It can be a scenic spot or anything."
"And I asked you to be my driver?"
"Hey, that's not what it should be. I'm honored."
"It's only been a few years since you graduated, and you're getting better and better at talking. Among the students in our class, you were the only one who didn't like to talk and was very introverted. This society can really train people."
"Actually, I don't like to talk now. I'm glad to have met you, my teacher. I talk a lot when I'm happy."
"That's nice to say. I haven't seen you come to see the teacher since graduation."
"Ahem, what's that? I've been working out of town and didn't take care of it. It's up to me to do this. So this time I'll be punished by being your full-time driver for a few days."
"Haha, okay, let's go together if we are on the way. To be honest, the teacher is a woman who feels a little guilty."
"You can rest assured that I am here to keep you safe. Then your driver and bodyguard will drive. Let's go!"
