Chapter 1561 285: Part 6
Luo Tingrui lowered his head, ate a wonton, and found the taste extremely delicious. He couldn't care about anything else and continued eating.Halfway through, Luo Tingrui looked back at the female driver still sitting in the car:
"Driver, why don't you come down and have a bowl too?"
"No, not hungry."
Luo Tingrui continued eating, and Xue Liangliang finished first, ordered two more bowls for himself and the teacher, one each.
After the three finished eating, they got back in the car and continued driving.
Luo Tingrui lazily leaned back in the seat, looking satisfied.
Although there were quite a few unexpected situations on this trip, they were all quickly resolved and not troublesome at all.
Just after eating his fill, drowsiness struck again.
Luo Tingrui yawned and said:
"Liangliang, I feel like I'm becoming a pig, eating and sleeping again after getting full."
"Teacher, this is a life even immortals envy."
The wonton stall owner continued pushing his small cart on the road.
In the moonlight, his small figure was turning whiter and whiter, and under the apron, a long tail swayed, slowly growing fine white fur all over, no longer resembling a human but resembling a large humanoid white mouse.
Nevertheless, this mouse was not dirty at all and even seemed particularly clean.
In the countryside, there are such special food vendors, neither demon nor ghost, appearing in peaceful villages, collecting clean offerings from every household to make food for sale.
They work hard, do not harm people, only to earn a little merit difference, and sometimes play the role of a watchman, guarding vigilantly.
In many rural places, older people generally have similar experiences from their childhoods, back when there was little oil, life was not affluent, and encountering a food vendor to eat a portion of their hot meal left a lasting memory.
However, as people's living conditions have generally improved, and the population continues to congregate in cities, these food vendors have gradually become fewer, increasingly difficult to come across in rural areas.
The white mouse pushed the small cart to a small temple located in the fields, first selecting offerings on it, only taking the still clean food. Those that had deteriorated, it bit into with its mouth and placed back, only to leave mouse tooth marks indicating to the offerer to replace the offerings.
After doing all this, the white mouse sat on the threshold and pulled out a palm fan, fanning itself.
Two green, flashing eyes, and a moustache twinking; it exhaled through its nose, looking quite angry and discontent.
"You think you're great, forcing people to set up stalls, humph!"
...
Up ahead, a minibus with a Mountain City license plate was parked roadside, being repaired, and numerous passengers were still seated inside.
The female driver parked the car.
Luo Tingrui asked through the car window, "Need help?"
The mechanic in the process of repair said, "No need, almost done."
A woman seated in the back pushed Xue Liangliang lightly, then looked outside.
Xue Liangliang understood and said to Luo Tingrui, "Teacher, let's switch to this vehicle? I had made arrangements with them beforehand and drove only this distance."
Luo Tingrui was momentarily stunned, then nodded, indeed acknowledging it's unsafe for the female driver to operate long-distance.
The three of them grabbed their luggage and exited the vehicle.
The mechanic just finished repairing the car, was putting away tools, and upon seeing Luo Tingrui approached, he cheerfully pulled out a cigarette and offered it.
"It's all done, no need help, thank you."
Luo Tingrui pressed down the other's cigarette, pulled out his own, and handed it over.
"Now, we need help."
For passenger vehicles, picking up people from the starting point and midway is essentially no different; picking private passengers, instead, yields higher returns.
The mechanic accepted the fare, and soon the three boarded the bus, with free seats in the back two rows. Xue Liangliang and the pregnant woman sat at the very back, while Luo Tingrui sat in the previous row.
Seeing the woman was somewhat exhausted, Xue Liangliang reached out to wipe the sweat from her forehead.
That sweat was cold.
Thinking she was tired, Xue Liangliang held her hand with a tender heart.
The woman returned a gentle smile, while rubbing her finger against his, and gently caressing her belly with another hand.
She knew the envisioned future was unrealistic; even though she was the most powerful person in the Bai family town, the rules handed down in the town could oppress tightly.
Still, exceptions exist and she had already broken many rules. Other women in the town dared not act recklessly, at least not openly resist her.
The man who once jumped into the Jiang, almost penetrating the entire Bai family town, now in terms of position was classified as that youth's "subordinate."
And her man has a very good relationship with that youth.
Not only is he willing to rescue his parents, but he calls her "sister-in-law."
That night, when Xue Liangliang jumped into the Jiang again to tell her to come up to answer the phone, he said, "Xiao Yuan has words for the sister-in-law."
This nickname almost terrified her, thinking someone in the Bai family town had committed some misconduct, and the youth was planning to handle it.
As it turns out, as long as the fist is big enough, the youth's rules become the town's rules.
In the future, there indeed could be an opportunity where she could live like a normal family, with a child, under the sunlight with the man before her.
With this thought, the woman laid her head on Xue Liangliang's chest.
Suddenly, Luo Tingrui turned his head backward, her instant reaction was to raise her head and sit straight.
"Liangliang, see if your phone has signal, if so, call me."
