Chapter 23 first quarter

I watched the monotonous back and forth of the wipers while I waited for the convoy to move. The advantage of the truck is that the driver's seat is high and can see the situation several cars ahead.It’s just that when you feel this advantage, it’s usually when you’re stuck in traffic, which makes you irritable.If you see that the previous situation is not optimistic, it will arouse this impatience. If you think about it this way, maybe this is not an advantage but a disadvantage. The car in front is an individual taxi.Before it was a light car, before it was a small car. In front of the small car was a commercial vehicle with the logo of an advertising company printed on it. What blocked the convoy at the front was a bus that let passengers get on and off at the parking spot.

— dawdling. While patting the steering wheel to calm down his impatience, the cell phone next to where the water cup was placed rang.The word "President" is displayed on the electronic screen. "Hey, you've worked hard." "Xiao Liang, where are you going now?" The quick-tempered president always gets to the point. "Just got on Route 17." "The purchase department of the stone materials in the valley called, clamoring for the stone to be taken away quickly. I told them that today is the 50th day." Gu Nei Stone is one of the customers who entrust us to move the goods, and ask us to deliver them once a month.The content is to carry the stones to the printing material store or the tombstone store. The stones are very heavy, which is one of the jobs we don't want to do.

"Hurry up and move stones for them when you arrive." "My waist can't stand it." "Xiao Liang is still young, she's fine, she's only twenty-two." "Today is twenty-three." "Today's birthday?" The president's voice was exaggerated. "Hey, Youhui, today is Xiaoliang's birthday!" Tomoe is the wife of the president and serves as the vice president of Fukuyama Transportation, which has only eight employees.Beautiful, intellectual, and quiet, it makes people wonder why they married someone like the president.Seeing them in the office-although it is not very polite-will remind me of the father and mother in the "Genius Idiot" that was broadcast before.But the president and Youhui have no children.If there is, it should be about my age.The two of them take care of me and love me so much, maybe because of this.

"Youhui said he would buy you a cake." "No need to spend money." "What do you like?" "Then Mont Blanc." "It's not like you!" There was roaring laughter on the phone, and when I was waiting for him to finish laughing and answer a few words, the phone actually hung up. "what's the situation……" I whined and put the phone back where it belonged. Every birthday has something to remember.It was a pottery piggy bank in the shape of a book that my sister gave me when I was in the second grade of elementary school. Blue English titles are written on the "cover" and "spine", which really looks like a high-end book from a distance.My sister saved up her pocket money to buy a piggy bank, and made a box out of cardboard as a gift for me.The next day, I took the box to the house of a friend who at the time used to get together to play video games.I took the piggy bank out of the box and asked them to "look at the book", and when they all expressed interest, I told them it was actually a piggy bank with a flamboyant air.Whenever a new playmate comes to a friend's house, I will do the old trick again, and I am very happy.

The convoy moved on. I added a gear, and when I followed the taxi in front of me slowly, I saw two small umbrellas moving towards the bus station.Red and yellow umbrellas.Probably a pair of elementary school students, siblings, they look very similar.The younger brother tilted his umbrella and said something to his sister.Although he couldn't hear the sound, it looked like he was acting like a baby.The older sister who answered had a smile on her side that loved her younger brother to the point of inexorability. Suddenly, I thought of myself. Didn't my sister treat me like this before?My sister and I are three years apart, she is swift and decisive, and I am short-legged and clumsy.

Not knowing where the siblings were going, the two of them walked past the truck side by side holding an umbrella.For no reason, I watched their whereabouts from the rearview mirror. The pair of siblings will eventually graduate from school, go to society, and live separately.For example, the younger brother uses a two-ton truck to transport goods, and the older sister graduates from college and engages in mental work.For example, my younger brother hates my mother, and my elder sister mourns because of this and often sighs. Finally the convoy started to move normally, and the umbrellas of the siblings disappeared from the rearview mirror.

As I shifted gears and stepped on the accelerator, I thought about my sister.My sister, whose birthday is one day behind mine, will be twenty-six tomorrow.She has never had a boyfriend, and half-jokingly said that she would spend her birthday alone this year, so I agreed to treat her to dinner.He said he was treating her to dinner, but it wasn't any high-class cuisine, it was just going to a family restaurant together.Even so, my sister was very happy.I plan to pick her up at her apartment in a junk car, and give her the gift I bought at the department store after dinner, so that she can experience the feeling of a date.The gift is a leather book cover for my sister who likes to read, with a little pig decorated on the corner.

The road was blocked again. I leaned my head on the backrest and snapped my fingers one by one.After breaking all ten, he started scratching his chin again.After looking at the watch, the president of Yanai Stone should have called the office again.Our president is already impatient enough, and the president over there is even more impatient to the point of annoying. ——While thinking about this, the phone rang. But not from the president.What was displayed on the electronic screen was my sister's name. My sister said she was hospitalized.
