Chapter 83 083 Catching the Train
He had no objection, the most important thing was that Anyang, Anwen and Anwu were still downstairs.
An Xin: “…”
Who told you to start flirting so early in the morning? But going downstairs in pajamas is indeed a bit inappropriate.
An Xin could only turn around with a blank face, and seeing the man's smug smile that was almost like whistling, she turned around, took her clothes, and went to the next room to change.
After changing clothes, An Xin quickly made breakfast for the family, which was cucumber millet porridge with scallion pancakes and a cold dish. She also quickly packed Bai Yichen's lunch in an insulated box, which was scallion pancakes with a cold dish and millet porridge. She also packed him a can of pork trotter and peanut soup that she had simmered on low heat yesterday and this morning. Of course, she did not forget to fill his kettle with boiled water.
After all, water is an essential item for people doing exploration work in the mountains.
After everyone quickly finished breakfast, An Xin and Bai Yichen set off. Bai Yichen had to go back to the team to work, while An Xin was anxious to rush to the dock to load the goods. Last night, in order to facilitate the loading trip this morning, Kaizi deliberately left An Xin's truck at the gate.
The two arrived at the gate and were about to part ways. An Xin stuffed the thermos and cool boiled water into Bai Yichen's hands and gave him some instructions.
"Okay, go to work now, and drive carefully."
It was raining heavily and the roads in the countryside were difficult to drive on. Bai Yi was driving a jeep and always needed to pay attention to safety.
Bai Yi took the thermos and kettle, listened to An Xin's instructions, and couldn't help but feel warm inside. He said to An Xin with a slight smile on his lips.
"You too, drive carefully. I'm afraid the rain won't stop today. Don't be in a hurry when you run away later. Safety first. Ensure driving safety. Anyway, there is still a lot of time. Your transportation plan should be completed on time."
If he really couldn't complete it, it would be the weekend in two days, his day off, and he could then follow An Xin to run the transportation from morning to night without worrying about not completing the task.
Visibility was low on rainy days, and he didn't want to rush with his convoy. If something happened, it would be a waste of time.
An Xin nodded, and Chao Bai Yichen waved his hand.
"Yes, I will. I'll be leaving now!"
After saying that, he turned around, got on the truck, started it, and the car quickly disappeared in the rain.
Bai Yichen also quickly got on the jeep, blocking the heavy rain outside the car, but his eyes were fixed on the direction where An Xin was leaving. In his arms, he still held the lunch and water bottle that An Xin had prepared for him, and the smile on his face became even wider.
It’s different when you have a wife. Even if your wife is away from home and busy with her career, she will not forget his food, clothing, housing and transportation, and will take care of everything for him.
On the other side, Anxin drove the truck quickly to the dock. Kaizi had already arrived at the scene with Sanmao and Xiaozhong, but due to the inconvenience of activities on the rainy day, the workers were very slow in loading the goods.
When Anxin arrived, the goods on the first truck had not been loaded yet. How many people were sitting in the cab? They honked their horns at each other as a greeting, then drove the car to the designated location, waiting for the workers to load the goods.
After finally loading the goods, An Xin asked someone to help cover the tarp and drove out of the cargo yard. The rain was still pouring down and was getting heavier. The dense raindrops hit the windshield. An Xin turned on the wipers, but it still couldn't stop the heavy rain.
An Xin couldn't help but slow down the car, staring at the road outside the window, and couldn't help but worry about Kaizi Xiaozhong and Sanmao's itinerary. At this speed, today's freight volume would definitely not be ideal.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but worry. If the rain lasts for several days, what will happen to their freight volume?
The car passed an intersection. Through the rain-soaked window, An Xin saw someone in front waving at her. She stepped on the brakes and stopped the car. The person who was waving saw An Xin stop the car and strode towards the truck's cab.
I rolled down the car window and saw heavy rain pouring in through the window. Anxin's hair and clothes were instantly wet and she couldn't help but ask at the top of her voice.
"Comrade, what's up with you?"
Blocking the road in the street, could there be some emergency ahead?
As soon as this thought flashed through An Xin's mind, she couldn't help but look at the person who came. This person was wearing a well-fitting Zhongshan suit and holding a black umbrella. Perhaps because the rain was too heavy, his whole body was soaked, and even his leather shoes were filled with water. When he walked, An Xin could vaguely see water splashing out of his leather shoes.
An Xin's brain couldn't help but sound alarm bells, and a doubtful voice rang out in her heart.
“Shouldn’t this person be wearing a police uniform?”
No matter what era, people enforcing the law on the road should always wear police uniforms. This is basic common sense, and An Xin naturally knows this.
And what can stop cars on the road should be the traffic police's uniform, since it is not possible that it is a scam.
An Xin realized something was wrong and was about to roll up the window and start the car to leave when she saw the man approaching An Xin's cab, raising his gentle face and speaking politely.
"Comrade, I need to do something at the train station. I wonder if I can borrow your ride. Our company's car broke down, and the driver is repairing it over there. It may not be fixed for a while, but if it's too late, the train will be delayed. Can you help me? I can give you money."
As the man spoke, he took out two big unity notes from his pocket and waved them in front of An Xin.
An Xin did not take the money, nor did she answer the man's words. She just tried to look around.
Sure enough, a jeep was found not far away. A man who looked like the driver was standing in the pouring rain with his head buried in the hood, holding an oversized wrench in his hand, and seemed to be trying hard to repair the car.
An Xin withdrew her gaze and shook her head at the man in front of the car who was looking expectant.
"Comrade, I'm sorry, please find another car. We are going in the same direction."
As for whether the money in his hand is worth anything, An Xin would not be so stupid as to throw away the watermelon for such a small amount of sesame seeds.
Even though she was going to the train station, An Xin didn't want to pick up a strange man on a rainy day to avoid unnecessary trouble.
The man was not at all surprised by An Xin's rejection, and continued to speak softly.
"Comrade, when I got off the train yesterday, the car that came to pick me up followed your truck all the way. I know you are definitely going to the train station today, don't worry! I am a staff member of the provincial government. I really have something urgent to do and I am rushing to the train station to catch a train. If I am late, I may not be able to make it to the meeting in another city."
