Twenty minutes later, they arrived at a restaurant in a small town. Dong Qing parked the car in front of the restaurant, and after getting out of the car, Li Yuzhu said, "I can sleep so much, I slept for eight hours straight?"

“You can fall asleep in the car even if you’re not sleepy, let alone if you haven’t been resting well for days. Wait here for a moment, let’s add some water to the car first.”

After Dong Qing finished speaking, he walked into the restaurant, quickly picked up a bucket of water, and went to the front of the car. He climbed onto the front of the car, took the bucket from his wife, and filled the water tank with water.

After Dongqing finished adding water, they got out of the car, carried the buckets into the restaurant, filled a basin halfway with water to wash their faces, and then sat down at the table.

Li Yuzhu ordered two bowls of noodles, two cold dishes, and a bottle of beer. After the waiter brought the cold dishes and beer to the table, Li Yuzhu said, "After you finish your beer, go back to your car and get a good night's sleep. I'll drive you in a bit."

"Okay," Dong Qing said, then told the waiter, "Open a bottle of chilled Coke."

"Okay." The waiter said, opening a bottle of Coke and placing a cup on the table.

Dongqing poured a bottle of Coke into his wife's glass and said, "Have a bottle of Coke to quench your thirst."

Half an hour later, they finished their meal, got back in the car, and continued their journey.

When Dong Qing woke up, Li Yuzhu was driving. She was driving very fast and had become quite skilled at it.

As the night wore on, a sudden strong wind picked up, and a light rain began to fall, causing rain to seep into the driver's seat through the sunroof.

Li Yuzhu stopped the car, reached out and pulled down the sunroof, rolled up the windows, turned on the windshield wipers, and continued on her way.

However, the rain grew heavier, accompanied by lightning and thunder, and then a downpour began, blurring visibility ahead.

She was forced to pull over to the side of the road, turn off the engine, turn on the hazard lights, and turn off the headlights.

After parking the car, Dongqing woke up and, hearing the rain outside, said, "It's raining so hard, come over and let's squeeze in for a nap."

Li Yuzhu said, "How can we sleep in such a big place? You go to sleep. We'll continue our journey when the rain stops. I'll just sit here for a while."

"The rain won't let up for half the time. Come over here, can you lie down if you're close enough?"

"OK."

Li Yuzhu cracked open the side windows a little, went to the back, and lay down next to her husband. Dong Qing suddenly asked, "Wife, it's been over three months since you gave birth. Is your body ready for intimacy?"

After Li Yuzhu gave birth, the couple never had marital relations.

Li Yuzhu said, "Of course I can. My period just ended, and let alone being interested now, the car is too cramped..."

Before his wife could finish speaking, Dongqing pinned her down and said, "Don't you think making love is more passionate at this time?"

After Dong Qing finished speaking, he lowered his head and kissed his wife's fragrant lips. At this moment, the wind and rain were just as fierce inside and outside the car. The difference was that outside the car there was thunder and rain, while inside the car there was only the spark of love that collided like lightning, without thunder, only the warm sounds of happiness between the couple.

Half an hour later, the rain outside the car had lessened considerably. Dongqing said, "The rain has lessened. You take a nap, I'll drive."

Li Yuzhu said, "That's fine. I don't drive often, and my arms hurt after a while."

"This is a tractor, it's hard work to do. You should take a nap. We're not far from our destination, we'll be there in about three hours."

After Dong Qing finished speaking, he put on his clothes and shoes, sat in front of the steering wheel, started the tractor, turned on the headlights and windshield wipers, and continued on his way.

An hour later the rain stopped, and the road surface became increasingly dry; it hadn't rained at all.

They arrived in a county town at around 3 a.m. Dongqing drove the tractor into a parking lot, turned off the engine, and woke up his wife. They jumped off the tractor.

They looked up at the sky, but there was no sign of rain. The clouds had dispersed, the stars were twinkling, and the bright moon shone down on the earth.

Dong Qing said, "If we drive forward for an hour, we can escape this rainstorm."

Li Yuzhu laughed and said, "Maybe we were destined to encounter this downpour; there was no way to avoid it even if we wanted to."

Li Yuzhu's smile was beautiful; it was probably the most beautiful smile she had had in over a year of marriage, and her happiest moment.

Dongqing said, "You're not tired now, are you? You seem to be in a good mood. Go get a room and rest. It'll be dawn soon."

Li Yuzhu said with a smile, "When family relationships are good, it feels tiring."

Dong Qing smiled but didn't say anything. He took his wife's hand and walked towards the living room. They booked a single room with a large bed. Dong Qing said, "There's a shower room outside. Let's go take a shower and get a good night's sleep."

"Alright."

After Li Yuzhu finished speaking, she took out a set of clothes from her bag and handed them to her husband. She then took out a nightgown for herself and left the guest room. They each went into the men's and women's shower rooms.

After taking a shower, Li Yuzhu returned to the room. Her wife hadn't come back yet. Five minutes later, Li Yuzhu went into the room, closed the door, locked it, put the clothes she had just washed together with her husband's, took off her dress and hung it on the hanger, lay down on the bed and said, "It's so comfortable in bed. I'll get a good night's sleep!"

"You go to sleep. I'll go out by myself after dawn."

After Dongqing finished speaking, he reached out and hugged his wife, and the couple quickly fell asleep in each other's arms.

When Dongqing woke up at dawn, he saw his wife still fast asleep in his arms. He slowly pulled his arm away, got up, put on his clothes, and left the room.

Li Yuzhu woke up and didn't see her husband. She glanced at her watch; it was already 10 a.m. She got up, washed her face, and brushed her teeth. Just as she entered the guest room, her husband returned. She asked, "Have you contacted the buyer yet?"

Dong Qing said, "We've already found a buyer. Hurry up and pack your things to check out, we'll deliver the goods right away."

The clothes washed at night weren't completely dry, so Li Yuzhu packed the half-dry clothes into her bag and went downstairs with her husband.

After checking out of the hotel, they walked to the parking lot, got into their car, and drove towards the wholesale warehouse.

Twenty minutes later, Dong Qing drove to the wholesale warehouse and quickly negotiated a price, taking the experience from the previous truckload and setting it slightly higher than the previous truckload.

After unloading the truck at 3 p.m., they settled the bill of 26,680 yuan. Li Yulin also left 100 yuan with the general manager to pave the way for the future, and they exchanged contact information.

Afterwards, the general manager recommended two other customers in different counties to Dongqing, writing down the addresses of the two wholesalers on a piece of paper. This would save a lot of trouble, and he could directly pick up the goods on the next trip.

Dongqing took the note and said thank you. The couple took the money, left the office, boarded the tractor, and Dongqing drove it out of the warehouse gate.

Li Yuzhu said, "We earned two thousand yuan more this time than the last time."

Dong Qing said, "Last time I offered a lower price. Based on that experience, this time I'll offer a higher price, 10 cents more per item. With such a large load, that's a considerable income. Also, this time I'll be loading more, and some of the defective products will be given to me for free by the factory, so I'll earn an extra 2,000 yuan. Our trailer is a four-axle, 80-type engine, and can easily carry 20 tons. Tomorrow I'll go back and weld a sideboard onto the trailer. I'll try to load 20,000 yuan worth of goods in one trip. If that happens, the profit will double."
