SWNOVELXO 177. The Sorrow of Workers
Su Siyang sent off his sister.
Although he had often tricked Su Qi with his mother when they were young, after learning that Su Qi was his sister, tricking her this time made him feel unprecedented strong condemnation in his heart.
After replying to Lu Ran with a WeChat message saying they had set off and sending a map of the special car’s route, Su Siyang quickly received a response from his mother.
*Kissing emoji*
Su Siyang hesitated for a bit and didn’t directly tell his mom the truth that Su Qi was a girl!
If he told them, how could it be considered a surprise! After all, he himself was very shocked at first!
But not being able to see their expressions made Su Siyang feel quite regretful.
Lu Ran looked at her son’s expression indicating the surprise package was about to arrive.
This time she could be certain that this surprise must be about her youngest son. Could it be that Su Qi was coming back wearing women’s clothing?
Forget it, forget it. Lu Ran, seeing there were still over 6 hours of driving, was just about to go out to buy groceries when she heard a snorting sound.
Following the sound, she saw Su Lujun turning his head to the side, still muttering, “Sigh, some people, with a big temper, even their lungs exploded!”
Lu Ran walked over with some amusement and pinched Su Lujun’s shoulders, acting coquettishly, “Husband, I just miss Little Qi too. You secretly went to see him last year, you don’t miss him, but I really do!”
Cough, hearing his secret exposed, Su Lujun’s old face turned red. He stood up from the stool and said, “I, I went to see him? What’s there to see in that little brat, I went to see my old war buddy!”
As he spoke, he met Lu Ran’s eyes full of laughter.
“Your hands have no strength at all, pressing is just light pressing. Forget it, I’m going to find Old Zhao to play chess, strive to explode a lung when I come back!”
Su Lujun walked out of the room, fanning himself.
“Silly look.” Lu Ran said as she watched Su Lujun flee in a flurry.
Without Su Lujun, Lu Ran thought again about the surprise Su Siyang mentioned. What could it be?
Forget it, forget it, no more thinking. She’ll see when it arrives. What should she make for Little Qi to eat later?
After some thought, Lu Ran decided to drive to the city for a round. Living in a villa district was good in every way, just a bit inconvenient in terms of food.
Under a big tree, two middle-aged men were battling it out on a chessboard in the shade.
Suddenly, a Volkswagen slowly drove by.
“Hey, isn’t that your family’s car?” The speaker, if Su Qi saw him, would definitely recognize him as Uncle Zhao.
“What your family’s car, checkmate!” Su Lujun said as he dropped the piece.
Uncle Zhao looked at the chessboard and said, “Not my car? Did you take it?”
“You don’t like looking at other people’s cars? Confiscated one.” Su Lujun said without changing his expression.
“Heh, you old cheat, I’ll take your car too!” As he spoke, Uncle Zhao also confiscated his opponent’s piece.
“Heh, you dare take my piece? I’ll take your horse.”
“Who are you taking a horse from?” “Taking your horse!”
So, in a short while, a pile of garbage appeared at the entrance of the villa district…
What’s interesting is that their garbage could never be swept into their own dustpans.
Perhaps this is the standard configuration for onlookers.
In the special car, the driver in a suit and tie looked back from the rearview mirror. Although the little girl was still wearing the ethereal Hanfu from before, she seemed to have lost a lot of spirit due to her somewhat low mood. After some thought, he said, “Passenger, there are lollipops on the back seat. If you can, eating one will make your mood better.”
“No, no need.” The timid Su Qi hurriedly refused, not feeling comfortable accepting favors from others.
But Officer Zhang Ru unwrapped a strawberry-flavored Alpenliebe and stuffed it into her mouth while Su Qi was speaking!
“Then thank you, Driver!”
Seeing the candy already in her mouth, Su Qi could only say with a muffled voice, “Thank you, Driver.”
The driver responded, “No problem, it’s not expensive! As long as your mood is better, that’s good!”
Officer Zhang Ru beside her just felt this mother and son were too bad, making the little girl worry so much. But she also felt embarrassed to tell the truth.
From her experience as a police officer, the words spoken at this time would definitely make her take the blame. Because in a sense, she could also be considered an accomplice!
Thinking like this, she felt terrible all over. She, such an impartial, strict and incorruptible good police officer, had unwittingly done such a wicked thing.
After 2 seconds of self-reflection, she successfully passed the blame to Su Siyang. She felt much better.
With the Alpenliebe lollipop in the corner of her mouth, Su Qi’s attention also shifted to the lollipop.
She hadn’t eaten this lollipop for about 8 years. She didn’t expect that after 8 years, it still tasted the same as before. She remembered that in elementary school, it was especially popular to secretly eat lollipops in class.
Su Qi remembered that in order to not let the teacher find out, they would stuff the entire lollipop, stick and all, into their mouths when the teacher came close.
At that time, Su Qi naively thought the teacher definitely wouldn’t notice. Now, looking in the car mirror, her puffed out cheeks looked just like a little hamster, extremely conspicuous.
Officer Zhang Ru also looked over at this moment. Seeing Su Qi’s little hamster appearance, she just felt this little girl was a treasure. How could she be so cute even eating a lollipop?
The driver silently glanced at Su Qi in the back seat. The little girl’s face was full of smiles, and those clear eyes had recovered their initial bewitching shine.
The driver couldn’t help but think of his own daughter. For little girls, it’s still best to be carefree…
The car was still driving on the road.
Just then, a “gu~” sound was heard. Su Qi originally thought it was her stomach growling, but didn’t expect it to be the driver in front.
“Driver, why don’t we go eat something in the city ahead?” Officer Zhang Ru warmly suggested. She was also tired after nearly 2 hours in the car.
“No need, this is an old problem for me, it’s fine.” The driver answered.
Officer Zhang Ru often took special cars, so she understood. Special car prices were high, not only in service, but also had the platform’s monitoring system. If they stayed too long in one place, it would be considered poor service by default.
Although this seemed very inhumane, who let the platform make the rules? Perhaps this was the sorrow of workers!
“Driver, let’s stop at the rest stop on the highway later. We happen to be a bit hungry too!” Officer Zhang Ru knew there was a recording function in the car, so she intentionally said this!
This way, if the system deemed the service score to be reduced, the driver could also appeal it back through the recording.
“Alright, then I’ll stop at the rest stop later!” The driver responded.
Su Qi listened to their conversation, lightly licking the lollipop with the tip of her tongue.
She had no idea that the few sentences just now conveyed several layers of meaning.
The socially inexperienced her only heard the first layer, which was that they could eat later!
