Chapter 202: Restaurant
"Okay, hurry up and get in the car. Let's do as we agreed before. I'll drive in the first half of the night. If you keep dawdling, we'll both be behind the convoy ahead."
The taillights of Kaizi and his team's convoy are out of sight, and yet the two of them are still arguing about who should be driving the truck, which is not very stupid.
If you have anything to say, we can talk on the way.
Seeing his young wife getting into the car with a helpless look on her face and the car already started, Bai Yichen had no choice but to climb into the passenger seat obediently and said helplessly.
"Oh well!"
He dared to guarantee that if he continued to hesitate, An Xin might step on the accelerator, drive the truck away and leave him in Yuncheng.
By then, they probably won't want him to follow the convoy anymore. He will be left alone in Yuncheng, waiting for a long time, but he won't be able to get the convoy back to make him feel at ease.
The first time Bai Yichen saw his young wife, she was also a person with a bad temper.
After Bai Yichen got in the car, An Xin stepped on the accelerator, and the truck roared away, chasing the convoy in front.
In fact, An Xin had already made up her mind. If Bai Yichen continued to whine and argued with her about who drove the truck all night, she would just abandon this man in Yuncheng.
Anyway, the mechanic and the driver are in the car, so she doesn't need a housekeeper like Bai Yichen by her side.
As for the experience of racing, just keep racing and accumulate experience along the way. The more you do, the more detours you will take and the more suffering you will suffer.
Doesn’t every truck driver go through all these ups and downs?
In this way, An Xin led the team in the night until the drivers were replaced in the second half of the night. Everyone stopped and ate the steamed buns and boiled eggs that An Xin had brought as a midnight snack. Of course, when eating midnight snacks, everyone sat in their own cabs to eat, and if they wanted to communicate, they could only shout.
An Xin began to miss the advanced communications of the 21st century. Not only would it be nice for everyone to have a phone to communicate, but it would be nice if every truck had a walkie-talkie.
After all, when driving a truck, there is a walkie-talkie in the car, which is comparable to a radio!
If anything happens or if there is an emergency, everyone can communicate better. It is better than what they are doing now, eating a boiled egg from a long distance and yelling outside the car.
It has a kind of heroic aura of the Water Margin warriors.
Fortunately, the process of having a midnight snack was not very long. Except for An Xin, the team leader, all the people who came out to drive were men. They stuffed the steamed buns and boiled eggs into their stomachs in no time, and then drank a few mouthfuls of boiled water, and the midnight snack was completed.
In the second half of the night, Bai Yichen took over the driving. Perhaps because it was not far from South City and the car was on the highway, Anxin leaned against the truck and prepared to take a nap. She did not feel that the truck was very bumpy. Instead, Bai Yichen's driving speed made her feel very comfortable lying in the car. Gradually, Anxin's eyelids became heavier and heavier.
Soon, An Xin fell asleep. Bai Yuchen was driving the vehicle and noticed that the little woman in the back seat was wrapped in a blanket and fell asleep quickly. In order to let his young wife sleep soundly in the car, the man couldn't help but brake and accelerate more gently when driving the truck. There was no conversation all the way.
When An Xin opened her eyes again, it was already bright outside. The sun had already risen slowly, scorching the earth. There was no air conditioning in the truck. The whole car was depressing and dull, and there was a hint of suffocating heat. To be exact, An Xin was awakened by the heat.
Anxin sat up from the back seat of the car, sweating all over, and couldn't help but complain.
"This truck without air conditioning is always uncomfortable. If we had known earlier, we would have bought a few small electric fans."
I slept in the back seat of the car and when I got up I could feel my whole body was drenched in sweat. My clothes were sticking to my body and it was very uncomfortable.
But the truck was still on the move and there was no time to stop to rest or take a shower. They had to continue to endure the damn smell of sweat sticking to their bodies until they found a place to stay.
I have to admit that at this moment, I miss the car air conditioning in the 21st century so much.
Bai Yichen was concentrating on driving the truck forward. The entire convoy was driving on the road in a neat and orderly manner, which looked quite spectacular from a distance.
The man suddenly glanced in the rearview mirror and saw that his little woman had woken up and was complaining about the stuffiness in the car. He couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
She immediately rolled down the windows on both sides, and cool breeze blew in. The stuffiness in the car was instantly blown away, and the wet and sticky feeling sticking to An Xin's body was quickly blown away. When An Xin was about to get close to the car window to continue enjoying the cool breeze, she heard her man's voice, sounding low in the car.
"Why can't you bear this little bit of heat? Will the sports car encounter even hotter weather in the future?"
At this point, the curve of the man's mouth gradually widened. He took out a palm-leaf fan from the corner and handed it over.
"I knew you were a delicate person. I've prepared this palm-leaf fan for you a long time ago. Take it and fan yourself to cool down."
In order to sleep peacefully in the back of the car, he didn't dare open the windows, because some people cannot stand the wind when sleeping, which will cause colds.
Unexpectedly, the closed car window woke the little woman up because of the heat.
"Squeamish?"
After An Xin muttered this word depressedly, she thought that the man seemed to be right. It was only the first night with Lulu, and she couldn't stand the stuffiness in the carriage. She didn't know how many more days and nights this train would have to run.
She has suffered some of this pain. It seems that no matter what job you do, it's not easy. Even if you drive a truck, you have to endure wind, sun, cold winter and hot summer.
However, Bai Yi was really thoughtful. He even prepared something like a palm-leaf fan for her. She was still wondering whether she should find a secluded place and take out an old electric fan. I wanted to put it on the truck to blow, but after searching for a long time, I couldn't find a socket on the driver's seat of the truck that could plug in the air conditioner.
An Xin reluctantly gave up the idea of using the electric fan, resignedly took the palm-leaf fan handed to him by the man, and fanned himself with all his might.
This palm-leaf fan is really powerful. After fanning it a few times, I felt a lot cooler. An Xin turned around and saw that Bai Yichen was also sweating profusely. Crystal beads of sweat had already flowed down the man's handsome face. An Xin quickly fanned the man a few times with the palm-leaf fan.
Bai Yichen drove the car forward with a smile on his face. He glanced at the woman who was fanning him and said.
"Thank you, my wife, for fanning me. I feel much better."
At the critical moment, even if his young wife fanned him, he would not forget him. Does this mean that his wife has him in her heart?
An Xin said as she fanned Bai Yichen.
"Aren't you the one doing the labor? It's only natural for me to fan you."
Yes, now the two of them are sitting in the truck, Bai Yichen is driving the car, and she is sitting next to him. How can an idle person not fan the one who is working?
Thinking of this, Anxin looked forward. She didn't know when the wide road was replaced by a secondary road. The originally flat highway was replaced by a gravel road. Although it was equally wide, compared to the highway, this road could only be regarded as a secondary road. Trucks still felt bumpy when driving on this wide road, which was much worse than the experience on the highway.
An Xin frowned and asked subconsciously.
"Where are we now?"
Could it be that she only sleeps for the second half of the night? Have you already reached the area of Yuncheng? This speed is unparalleled.
Bai Yichen was driving the car forward and passed a turn in front of him. He just missed a few trucks on the road. When he successfully avoided the oncoming trucks, Bai Yichen slowly spoke.
"Our convoy has already left South City and arrived in City A. Once we are out of City A, we will have to drive on mountain roads."
After Bai Yichen said this, An Xin immediately jumped up from the passenger seat like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and said in surprise.
"What? I just slept in the second half of the night and you guys have already arrived in City A. Oh my God, you guys are not flying a plane, are you? How can you run so fast?"
The distance from Yuncheng to City A is nearly a thousand kilometers! Of course, one thousand kilometers might be a bit exaggerated, but there must be eight hundred kilometers. But even if the distance between the two floors is only eight hundred kilometers, isn’t their convoy running too fast?
Bai Yichen glanced at his surprised little woman out of the corner of his eye, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and then pointed out mercilessly.
"It's not that fast. It's just driving at a normal speed. Do you think you only slept for the second half of the night? It's already twelve o'clock in the morning."
He slept soundly last night at one o'clock in the morning. While he was sleeping, the woman kept muttering that she would get up on time at eight o'clock this morning to let him rest.
As a result, this woman has been slept until now, it is already noon, twelve o'clock, she has slept for almost 12 hours, and just got up, but she is still too hot.
If there was an electrical appliance like the electric fan she mentioned in the truck to cool down the stuffy air in the compartment, his young wife would definitely sleep until this evening.
The man's words were like a thunderclap, which filled An Xin's face with disbelief and her voice rose octaves.
"What? It's already twelve o'clock in the morning. Why did I sleep so late? Oh my God, am I a pig? How can I sleep for such a long time?"
Having said that, Anxin slapped his head in annoyance, stretched his head out of the car window to look around, only to find that the sun was already high in the sky, baking the road surface. The entire road surface became a little unpredictable. It was indeed around noon, so he couldn't help complaining.
"Bai Yichen, why didn't you wake me up? You've been driving for more than ten hours, aren't you tired? Hurry up and find a place to stop so I can take over."
Don’t know who it is? Before going to bed last night, I vowed to get up at eight o'clock in the morning, but I ended up sleeping until noon.
When An Xin thought of the oath she made before going to bed last night, she wished she could find a piece of thread and sew her mouth shut.
It was her first time driving and she overslept. Fortunately, the person driving with her was Bai Yichen. If it was someone else, they might have stopped the car and waited on the side of the road for her to wake up.
From the corner of his eye, he saw that his young wife looked like she was about to rush over, grab the steering wheel and drive on the road. Bai Yichen quickly stretched out his arm to stop the woman in the passenger seat and comforted her.
"It's okay. When we were on long-distance trips in the past, it was normal to drive all night and all morning. Don't get involved. I've already told the guy leading the way to tell the convoy to stop when we come across a restaurant. We'll stop and have lunch and rest. I'll go rest and you can just keep driving."
Anyway, it's already twelve o'clock and it's almost time for lunch. Even if An Xin comes to drive the car, she won't be able to drive for long. It would be better to wait until we stop and rest, and let this little woman continue driving for the whole afternoon after lunch.
An Xin sat in the passenger seat with a worried look on her face and spoke uneasily.
"Ah, but I'm worried about you driving while fatigued. What should I do?"
This man has been driving the truck since 1 a.m. last night until now. It is impossible for him not to be tired. An Xin now wishes she could replace him immediately so that the man can have more rest.
Compared to the deep worry in Anxin's eyes, Bai Yichen spoke calmly.
"It's okay. If I remember correctly, there is a small restaurant less than ten kilometers away from here. The home-cooked dishes are very good. Kaizi may stop the car there. Our entire convoy can stop there and have a meal and rest before hitting the road again."
In the past, when they went to the north to purchase goods, they passed this road frequently, so they remembered every stop for rest very clearly.
The man's words made An Xin feel less irritable. She sat back in the passenger seat quietly and confirmed.
"It's less than ten kilometers away. Are you sure there's a small restaurant there?"
Since there is a small restaurant less than ten kilometers away from here, he will not interfere with Bai Yichen driving the truck.
For a truck driver, ten kilometers is just a matter of stepping on the accelerator, right? Then why did she go up there and meddle in it? Just as Bai Yichen said, he sat obediently in the passenger seat, waiting to go to the small restaurant later. After eating and adjusting himself, he drove the car with full health, allowing Bai Yichen to have a good rest.
Bai Yichen was looking at the road conditions ahead. The entire convoy drove the trucks into a long and narrow forest road. The light dimmed. An Xin could see the seven cars in front of her driving to the right, forming a straight line. The corners of her mouth could not help but curl up slightly. After Bai Yichen made sure that the car was driving normally, he spoke.
"Of course, why would I lie to you?"
An Xin thought about it carefully and felt that what the man said made sense, so she couldn't help but agree.
"That's right. An experienced driver like you who often travels long distances should be familiar with every parking spot."
Bai Yichen: “…”
Old driver? How do you hear this? Why does it make people feel ambiguous?
