Chapter 138: Traffic Jam at Night
"The interest has already been calculated. This month, I paid back Ye Guochu's fees and the fundraising money. This month, the factory can still withdraw about 100,000 yuan for payment. I want to pay another sum."

"Brother, return it to whoever you think is appropriate."

"The raised funds all have interest, so it's no problem to pay it back a few months later. I want to settle the outstanding fees first, and then I'll go to Ruihe and Mr. Xu when you come back."

"Okay, but brother, you have to set aside two months' interest," Cui Changjia reminded, "There is the twelfth month and the first month of next year, so the business in these two months may not be too much."

The factory still has expenses, and it won’t work if there is no money in the account.

Cui Xiuyuan said, "I think we should stock up on folding tables and stools. During the Chinese New Year, many families in counties and rural areas will buy a few stools."

"Yes, you can."

"I'll make another phone call today to urge for payment, so that if someone asks us for a debt during the Chinese New Year, we can be prepared."

There are still hundreds of thousands of dollars of payment for goods that have not been collected. If we urge them as it is almost the end of the year, maybe we can get some of it back.

Cui Xiuyuan has experience in running a business and his plan is correct.

Everything was going smoothly on the return trip, but halfway through, it started to rain.

It started out as rain, then turned into ice particles and snow particles, and it was so fast that even if you drove carefully, your tires would slip.

If it was just snowing, the problem wouldn't be too big. There are many cars on the highway and the snow will melt when the exhaust gas is sprayed. As long as they can hold on for two or three hours, they will reach the state capital.

As they were driving, they got stuck in a traffic jam. At first they could still move forward, but gradually they couldn't move forward anymore. A long row of cars in front had stalled their engines, so Cui Changjia had to stall his engine as well.

What's worse is that it was already four o'clock and the sky was getting dark. It wouldn't be long before it was completely dark, making it even more difficult to drive.

There was a big truck in front of us. The driver got out of the car and squatted on the side of the road to smoke. Then the drivers of the cars on his left and right got out of the car.

Cui Changjia also came down when he saw this and asked, "Master, do you know how far the traffic jam is ahead?"

"It's three to five kilometers away," someone said. "My brother's car is in front. He said there's a car overturned while pulling sand. Wait, it may take another hour or two to deal with it."

Cui Changjia wrapped herself in her down jacket and thought to herself, fortunately she wore the down jacket when she went out today. If she had to wait for an hour or two, she would be frozen to death.

Cui Changjia turned around and got in the car, and said to Ergang, "Ergang, I'm going to sleep for a while, you watch the road."

Er Gang said, "Why don't you stay up? It's too cold. Don't catch a cold."

Cui Changjia took up his scarf and wrapped his head and face, then lay down on the seat and said, "It's okay, just take a nap."

How could Cui Changjia not be anxious?
This is not just a matter of one or two hours. Snowflakes are still falling. If it gets any later and the temperature drops, the road will be icy and it will be even more difficult to walk. She estimates that it would be good to get home by eleven or twelve at night, and that is if everything goes smoothly and there are no accidents.

But she couldn't show that she was anxious.

Ergang is younger than him and is at a stage where she can't keep calm and control things. If she shows any more anxiety, the young man will become even more anxious.

Cui Changjia originally wanted to lie down and rest, but he fell asleep unknowingly.

She was woken up by the cold. When she woke up, her hands and feet were cold and stiff, and she could feel the cold air penetrating into her body. She turned on her cell phone and took a look by the light of the screen. It was almost seven o'clock.

Two or three hours passed while we waited!
It was pitch black inside the car and outside as well. Ergang was not in the car. Looking outside, he saw a few small red dots on the ground next to him. It should be people gathered together smoking.

Cui Changjia pushed the door open and jumped down, rubbing his hands and stamping his feet, trying to warm himself up. "Boss Cui, are you awake?" Ergang came forward.

“It’s not open yet?”

"No, a road maintenance vehicle just drove by," Yang Jiangang's body was trembling, "I heard someone died, several police cars drove by, I don't know when the road will be cleared."

After all, he was young and a little anxious, "Boss Cui, what should we do?"

There is a green belt in the middle of this highway, so we cannot change the route. Otherwise, if we change the route, everyone won't have to wait here.

"Wait, go to the car and eat some bread," Cui Changjia whispered, "Do you have any hot water in your thermos?"

Ergang stamped his feet and said, "It's still a little bit, but it's probably going to get cold soon."

Someone stood up to urinate in the green belt. Although he couldn't see it, Cui Changjia turned his head and got on the car.

There was a lot of water in Cui Changjia's cup, and it was still hot after she unscrewed it. She poured half of it to Ergang and said, "Don't be disgusted at this time. Drinking some hot water will warm you up."

"It's okay, Mr. Cui. I'll bear the cold, and you can drink it yourself."

"I'd rather not drink it. It's inconvenient to go to the toilet."

Indeed, Yang Jiangang stopped talking after hearing this.

What is falling now is not snow particles, but large flakes like goose feathers. If you are in the countryside and see snow like this, you will inevitably say "auspicious snow means a good harvest". Now, seeing such heavy snow, all people can do is curse.

As time passed, everyone became more and more anxious. People were walking around from time to time, and some were cursing. The temperature was cold, and soon the car froze and could not be started.

Cui Changjia's cell phone rang. It was Cui Xiuyuan.

"Jia Jia, why haven't you come back yet?" Cui Xiuyuan said, "Dad is worried."

"There's a traffic jam on the highway. Tell Dad not to worry. There's bread and hot water in the car. We're not cold."

"If the road is open, find a service area to rest for the night and come back tomorrow morning."

"Brother, don't worry. Manager Yang and I are the only ones here. You and Dad don't have to worry."

"it is good."

For some reason there was a commotion outside, and Cui Changjia went down to take a look. It turned out that there was a child in a car who had a fever and needed to take medicine. There was no hot water, so he wanted to borrow some water. But at this time, the traffic was blocked and the water that was available was probably cold, or there was no water.

Cui Changjia turned around, got into the car, took out his own water cup, called the child's father, and said, "The water in my cup is still hot, but I've drunk it. If you don't mind, you can use it first."

We still need to do good things. What if doing good things can help us accumulate blessings?

The child's father thanked him profusely and was about to unscrew the cup to pour out the water, but Cui Changjia stopped him and said, "The water will get cold if you pour it out. Take my cup away and bring it back to me later."

"Thank you, thank you." The child's father kept saying thank you and went back with the cup.

He had just walked for a while when he heard the sound of cars starting not far away. Cui Changjia didn't care about the cup anymore, he got in the car, started it, warmed it up, and prepared to set off.
