Chapter 243 The Cautious Taxi Driver



Although the living standards in mainland China were far behind those in Hong Kong and Taiwan in the 1990s, the population base was huge. If one in a thousand people bought the same product, that would be an astonishing number.

The album by Blue Shark was released and within just one day it caught up with the Hong Kong version's two-day sales volume, and within two days it surpassed the current sales volume of the Hong Kong version.

Every day, trucks from audio-visual merchants from all over the country line up to pick up goods in front of Pacific Audio-Visual Company.

After the release of the Hometown album, a third of the cargo in these trucks consisted of Hometown tapes.

With New Year's Day 1994 just around the corner, although sales during New Year's Day are not as high as in the spring, it is still a small sales peak, and audio-visual distributors in various regions are actively stocking up.

After attending the album launch ceremony at Pacific, Liang Liang received a share of the profits from the compilation album featuring Shi Zhang and Chen Jiewen, produced by Jinmeng and released by Pacific. The total amount was NT$264,850.

This money is enough for each member of the band to receive more than 50,000 yuan. Now they can take a break until the Spring Festival and have a happy new year.

The ceremony is over, and the money has been received. What's next?

Of course, I'm going home.

If I don't go home soon, I'll be spending the Gregorian New Year away from home.

Of course, they divided the money and went home.

Liang Liang immediately divided the money he received and deposited it into his own account.

On the morning of the 28th, all members of the Blue Shark Band flew home, and Xiaoqian and Xiaoyao were so envious they cried.

"We also want to go home for the holidays."

"You good-for-nothing! You've only been out for a week and you're already homesick. Do you ever want to grow up? Look at Sister Zhang Hua and Sister Lan Zhi, why don't they want to go home?"

Xiaoqian and Xiaoyao lowered their heads and remained silent.

"But it feels pretty good to be home. You guys can just tough it out here!"

Xiao Yao pouted so much her lips could hang an oil bottle.

Before leaving, Liang Liang secretly slipped two thousand yuan to Xiao Yao.

"Spend wisely! I won't care if you go broke and end up with nothing."

Xiao Yao beamed with joy: "I knew you cared about us and loved us."

"Don't flatter yourself. It's because you two are young that I'm worried you'll run out of money and have to sell yourselves. Take good care of yourselves. We're going back now."

After waving goodbye to the people at Hailanghua, Liang Liang and his group of five took a car to Yangcheng Airport and flew back to Lianwan City.

Four hours later, at 1 p.m., the plane landed at Zhou Shui Airport.

As Liang Liang stepped out of the airport terminal, she was somewhat lost in thought.

He suddenly realized that they had nowhere to go when they returned to Lianwan.

In the past, when I returned to Lianwan City, if I didn't go home, at least I could stay at the Haiyun Dance Hall.

But now, that foothold no longer exists.

Liang Liang frowned, a faint sadness on her face.

"How about we go to my place first?" Liu Yuyong suggested.

"If anyone's going to go, they should go to my house!" Xiao Yu was probably confused by Liang Liang's expression and blurted out this sentence subconsciously.

But she regretted it as soon as she said it.

"Go to your house? Sure, sure! It's time to take me to your house to meet your family."

The sadness on someone's face miraculously disappeared, replaced by a grin.

Xiao Yuju's heart tightened.

"Brother Liu! You should take him to your house! I'm afraid he'll drive my mom crazy if he comes to my house. I'm leaving now! Let me know if there are any events or activities."

After Xiao Yu finished speaking, she gave Liang Liang a playful smile and waved, then walked away alone with a few quick steps.

"Brother Liu! Did Xiao Yu take her medicine?"

Liang Liang's words left everyone dumbfounded.

"Why would she take medicine if she's not sick?"

Yes! Why would she take medicine if she's not sick? But why is she making faces?

She usually has a stern face, but today she actually made a funny face. That's quite rare. Is she starting to evolve?

This script is wrong!

Four men sat idly on the curb.

Han Chui offered cigarettes to everyone, and when no one accepted one, he lit one for himself.

"Why don't you come to my house? My house is over 100 square meters and can accommodate many people," Han Chui suggested.

"Was your family a settled local family before the liberation?"

"Of course not, our family is a working-class family with impeccable revolutionary credentials."

"Is your father a leader?" Liang Liang asked.

Han Chui shook his head: "Ordinary worker!"

"Is your mother a leader or an entrepreneur?"

"He's just an ordinary worker."

"Then where did your house come from, with over 100 square meters of space? You should use your brain before you brag."

In the early 1990s, apart from those who owned property before liberation, people who entered the city after liberation were allocated houses by factories and mines. You were lucky if you were given 30 or 40 square meters. If you wanted more than 100 square meters, what kind of pipe dream were you having?

"Everyone, please go home now. Wang Fan and I will also set off for Yahe immediately. We can discuss any matters or plans after New Year's Day."

After the decision was made, Liang Liang and Wang Fan said goodbye to the other two and then took a taxi straight to Yahe.

A taxi ride directly to Yahe only costs 150 yuan. Why not spend an extra 100 yuan for a faster and more comfortable ride?

At 2 PM, the car arrived at Yahe. Liang Liang got off at Yahe, and the taxi continued to take Wang Fan home.

After getting off the bus, Liang Liang paged Qin Wenju.

The Qimen Dunjia's answer was completely unexpected by Liang Liang.

She said she is currently in Lianwan, dealing with some matters, and will not be able to return until the day after tomorrow.

Look at the mess this has made, things have gone completely astray.

If he had known this would happen, he should have paged Qin Wenju when they were in Lianwan City.

What was Qin Wenju doing in Lianwan City? Did he have any business there?

Whatever she has to deal with, let's go home now and talk to her when she gets back.

He had originally planned to visit Xu Hebin and Sui Fulu, but after looking at the sky, he cancelled the plan.

It gets dark at five o'clock now, and the sky and earth are already hazy. If it gets any later, it will be difficult to get a taxi to go to the countryside.

In the past two years, accidents involving taxi drivers have become frequent. There have been cases where strangers hire a car to take people to an unfamiliar place, harm them, and steal the car. Now, drivers generally don't leave the city at night.

Before it got too dark, Liang Liang hailed a taxi. Only after confirming that she was in Pingshan Village, Gaobao Township, did the driver agree to take her home.

Gaobao Township is only 20 li away from Yahe, and with Pingshan Village being 8 li away, the total distance is less than 30 li, which is why the driver dared to pick up the goods.

Furthermore, it was repeatedly emphasized that Liang Liang should only be sent to the entrance of Liangshuiwan Village in Pingshan Village, and that payment should be made in advance.

Liang Liang sighed. Did he really look like a bad guy?

After paying twenty yuan, I finally sat in the passenger seat and left the city.

The driver didn't want to work late, so he drove very fast and delivered Liang Liang to the entrance of Liangshuiwan Village in twenty minutes.

When Liang Liang got out of the car, she waved to the driver and watched him drive away.

It was already dusk, and Liang Liang, carrying a bag, walked home along the village road at the west end of the village.
