"Grandpa, the interior of your car is really nice. It's much more comfortable than a Daihatsu."
Grandpa Lü chuckled: "Of course, this is my brand new car, your first passenger."
"That would be an honor."
Grandpa Lü led the woman into the residential area.
After getting off the bus, Grandpa Lü was just about to head back to the kindergarten.
A man and a woman walked out of the residential compound.
The woman's face was deathly pale, and she was clutching her stomach, seemingly in great pain, as if she had a sudden illness.
The man immediately opened the door of the tuk-tuk: "Driver, People's Hospital, quick! There's a patient!"
Grandpa Lü wouldn't hesitate, even though he had to pick up his grandson.
But since the person is so sick, even if you're just passing by on a bicycle, you can't just ignore them, let alone drive your own tricycle.
The older generation are very kind-hearted. Having experienced the changes of the times, they cannot bear to see such situations occur and will not refrain from helping.
Without saying a word, Grandpa Lü drove his rickshaw all the way to the hospital.
They even helped the man take the woman to the hospital.
The man said gratefully, "Grandpa, you're such a kind person! Thank you. Here's the fare, is 2 yuan enough?"
Grandpa Lü waved his hand and said, "I'm not a taxi driver, I'm just helping out."
"Ah..." The man was stunned. It wasn't a taxi.
He gritted his teeth and took out five yuan: "This is a thank-you fee. You've really gone to a lot of trouble."
When Grandpa Lü looked at it, he wondered why there were so many.
I don't want it!
Grandpa Lü left immediately, not wanting to waste anyone's time. His family member was sick and needed money, so he couldn't afford to waste it.
As I walked out of the hospital and started the tuk-tuk, someone knocked on the door again: "How much for the train station?"
Grandpa Lü scratched his head. What's wrong with me today?
I'm not a taxi driver!
How did it even get linked to "slipping away"...?
Grandpa Lü wasn't a professional taxi driver, so he didn't know how much to charge. Remembering the one yuan the middle-aged woman had given him earlier, he held up one finger and said, "One yuan!"
"Walk."
Soon after, Grandpa Lü took him to the train station.
Daqiangzi walked over with a smile: "Grandpa, how was the run today?"
"Huh?" Grandpa Lü said, "I didn't mean to run away. I just ended up here without realizing it."
Daqiangzi thought that Grandpa Lü was just pretending and didn't want to talk about it. "That's how it is when you drive a tuk-tuk. You never know where you'll end up."
"That's all for now, the train's stopped, hurry up and get the job."
Grandpa Lü stared blankly, "What kind of work would I take on?!"
Just as I was about to leave, someone else got on the bus: "Driver, how much is the post office?"
Grandpa Lü: ...
Alright, one dollar, let's go!
We arrived at the post office.
Grandpa Lü felt that this was a good time to pick up his grandson.
but……
"Grandpa, go to the old government building."
They arrived at the old government.
"Master, to Shizuishan."
We arrived in Shizuishan.
"Grandpa, back to Gogol Street."
...
Trip after trip.
Grandpa Lü was very skilled at finding fares and had also mastered the art of pricing.
Before we knew it, it was already dark.
Grandpa Lü counted: "I earned more than forty yuan!"
"What a surprise!"
"Go home and buy it for my little grandson..."
"Oh dear!" Grandpa Lü slapped his thigh. "I think I came out to pick up my grandson!"
Grandpa Lü was extremely anxious, and his rickshaw was practically sparking as he rushed to the kindergarten.
When Grandpa Lü arrived at the kindergarten, he was dumbfounded.
They're all closed.
He knocked on the doorman's door and learned that his grandson had already been picked up and taken home.
Only then did I feel relieved.
So, Grandpa Lü hurriedly returned home.
The atmosphere at home was not good, and Grandpa Lü attended the criticism meeting.
The target of the criticism was naturally Grandpa Lü.
My wife snapped at me, "Tell me, where have you been running off to?! I told you to pick up our grandson, did you go looking for another woman?!"
Grandpa Lü rolled his eyes: "How old am I? What kind of woman am I looking for?"
His wife snorted, "Who knows if you're up to something when you're just sitting around all day?"
Grandpa Lü waved his hand: "Forget it, I have no money and no power, so don't try to smear me."
The son asked, "Dad, what were you doing that day? Putting aside the matter of picking up the grandson, we were worried because we hadn't heard from you all day."
Grandpa Lü said with great pride, "I'm happy to help others."
"Huh?" his wife asked, "Helpful of helping others?"
Grandpa Lü said, "I bought a tuk-tuk to pick up my grandson. While I was waiting at the kindergarten gate, someone asked me to help carry all the things they bought home because they had too many."
“I took him there, but unexpectedly, when we got to the entrance of the community, he got sick again and needed to go to the hospital, so I took him there.”
"When we arrived at the hospital, someone was rushing to catch a train, so I took them there again."
"After a while, I've traveled to almost half of Jiangcheng."
The old man's wife and son were stunned for a moment.
What is all this nonsense?!
His wife scolded, "You can't forget about your grandson! Besides, it's fine if you help, but you can't let him lose money on gas!"
Grandpa Lü hesitated for a moment. He had originally planned to keep the money he earned from soliciting customers as his private savings, but given the current situation, he had no choice but to confess.
“Who said I lost money?” Grandpa Lü pulled out a handful of change: “Look, I’ve already collected the money. This is what I earned today.”
The old man's eyes lit up, but his face hardened: "I think you're obsessed with money. Give it to me, let me count it!"
My wife counted them; they were over forty yuan!
After deducting fuel costs and maintenance expenses, you can still save 20 to 30.
This month's earnings are higher than my pension!
