Chapter 354 The car is out of gas
That day, Meiya received news that a supermarket in the neighboring city was having a big sale. Without saying a word, she picked up Xiaokui, took Xiaoxin and Mingxu, and drove towards the supermarket.
"Xiaoxu, look after Xiaokui and show me the way." Meiya handed a map to Mingxu and concentrated on driving.
"Oh, turn right ahead, and then go straight for about seven kilometers." Mingxu looked at the map, picked up a pen and started to draw the route on it. With his other hand, he gently soothed Xiaokui. Xiaokui was already sleepy and slowly fell asleep.
"Turn right after the traffic light ahead, and then continue straight." Mingxu continued.
"Okay." Meiya nodded and stopped at the traffic light. The right turn light was red.
"Xiao Xu, let me do it~" Seeing Mingxu's relaxed look, the bored Xiaoxin on the side suddenly became interested and pleaded with Mingxu.
"..Don't look at me like that. Hey, I lose to you. Here, just follow the route I drew. I'll take a nap too." Mingxu looked at Xiaoxin helplessly as he blinked and complained, then handed him the map.
"Great." Xiaoxin took the map happily.
"Well, Shin-chan, you have to point the way carefully." Meisai reminded again and again.
"I know, I know." Xiao Xin waved his hand nonchalantly: "Go straight ahead."
"Just go straight, right?" Meiya nodded.
"Then, if you see a yellow building on the side where the bowl is, turn immediately towards the side where the chopsticks are." Xiaoxin continued. Xiaoxu's markings on the map were quite obvious.
"...It's easy to get confused if you do this." Meiya sighed. How about letting Xiaoxu do it? But when she looked in the rearview mirror, she found that Mingxu had really fallen asleep without knowing when.
"Hey~ Shin-chan, just say right or left." Meisai shook her head.
"Come on, you are an adult already, you should have memorized this road a long time ago, otherwise how would you dare to drive out?" Xiaoxin complained.
"Not being able to drive has already used up all my energy. Just read it as you said. Judging from the current situation, we will be able to arrive easily." Meiya laughed. There were not many cars on this road.
At this moment, she seemed to hear some sound, and subconsciously looked down. Her eyes suddenly widened and she screamed.
"what!"
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Mingxu suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Meiya, while his hands subconsciously protected Xiaokui beside him and covered her ears.
"The car is running out of gas... Xiaoxu, Xiaoxin, when was the last time we refueled?" Meiya asked in a panic.
"...How would we know about such things?" Mingxu shook his head. If you hadn't dragged us into the car today, we would rarely ride in the car you drive, okay?
"That's right, don't ask us about this kind of thing, and most people would check when driving, right?" Xiaoxin complained.
"Where do I have the time for that?!" Meiya complained.
"Instead of spending time talking about this, you might as well go and refuel." Shin-chan shook his head.
"You're right. In short, we should fill up the gas first until we can finish shopping and then go home." Meiya said and started looking around to see if there were any gas stations.
"Aren't you going to fill it up?" Mingxu asked casually.
"The money for gas can't be underestimated!" Mei Ya said casually.
"Then why do we have to drive so far to buy things?" Mingxu looked helpless. If you want to save fuel, then don't come so far.
"That's of course because if you add up all the things you buy in the real-life rush, you can still make a profit," Meiya said casually.
"Oh my god, we'll have to move a lot of things later." Shin-chan spread his hands, looking helpless.
"Stop complaining, I'll buy you some cookies." Meiya said casually.
Mingxu shook his head and looked at the fuel gauge. It was a bit dangerous.
"I see!" Meiya suddenly shouted.
"...Mom, why don't you drive in?" Mingxu looked at Meiya driving away helplessly and asked speechlessly.
"That's right, why don't you drive in? I want to pee." Xiaoxin also asked.
"Because the gas price over there is a bit expensive, I think it would be better to find another cheaper gas station." Meiya said while looking at the road.
"Mom, if you delay any longer, the oil will really run out." Mingxu reminded: "If this happens, our expenses may be even higher."
"Don't worry, don't worry. Even if the lights are on, it's impossible for the oil to run out all of a sudden." Meiya said casually.
"But, Mom, do you know when the light started to turn on?" Xiao Xin hit the nail on the head.
"...I don't know." Meiya said casually.
"I don't know! Since you want to get away with it! You old lady!" Shin-chan yelled.
"Don't call me old lady!"
"If we stop in a strange place, Xiaoxu and I will have to get out of the car and push it..." Xiaoxin began to fantasize, and then he got into someone else's car and left, while Meiya complained mindlessly on the spot.
"...You think too much." Mingxu directly shattered Xiaoxin's fantasy.
"Xiao Xu!" Xiao Xin suddenly puffed up his face.
"! It's even cheaper here than just now!" Meiya saw another gas station, where the price per liter was a few dollars cheaper.
But when approaching the intersection, Mei Ya still did not choose to drive in and continued to go straight.
"...Mom, you are really brave." Mingxu shook his head.
"That's right, why don't you go in again?" Xiao Xin complained.
"Because I don't really know how to refuel myself." Meiya was a little embarrassed because they had self-service refueling over there.
"..I can." Mingxu raised his hand.
"I didn't tell you earlier."
"You didn't even ask."
"..."
"You never know when the car will run out of gas!"
"It's okay. It should be able to hold on for a while." Meiya insisted.
"Also, since the gas station just now is cheaper than the previous one, the next one will definitely be cheaper." Meiya began to look forward to it.
"Mom, what if it's more expensive?" Mingxu asked speechlessly.
"No." Meiya said with a smile, and then she saw a gas station, where the price was indeed one yuan cheaper, but on the other side of the road, Meiya had no intention of turning around and continued going straight.
"Mom, I think you should stop being stingy." Xiaoxin broke out in a cold sweat.
"Xiao Xu, Xiao Xin, can you please look at the map and see how many gas stations are there?" Mei Ya asked.
"Um... there are three more." Mingxu glanced at the symbol and the surrounding area on the map and said casually.
"Oh, that should be enough!" Meiya started to gamble. She bet that the gasoline would be enough to last her until the end!
"Mom, a gambler can't win the house." Mingxu said speechlessly.
"...Or you can call your father and ask." Meiya said as she handed over her cell phone.
"..Okay." Mingxu dialed and pressed the speakerphone.
"Hello, who is it?"
"Dad, the gasoline sign is red this time. How long can the car run like this?" Mingxu asked with a twitch in his mouth.
"Ah? Then go and refuel! Go right now! Meiya, did you hear me?" After saying that, he hung up the phone.
"Just look." Mingxu spread his hands.
"Really? I have to save every penny for the sake of my family!" Meiya puffed up her face.
"Mom, we're at the gas station again." Mingxu reminded.
"Sure enough, it's a little cheaper now. Okay, let's go to the third store and fill up!" Meiya's morale was high.
"...Let's not do that." Mingxu and Xiaoxin said helplessly.
"No! We want to go to the cheapest place to refuel!" Meiya shook her head and refused.
"...Mom, it's better if you don't do this." Mingxu felt tired of trying to persuade her.
"No, it will definitely get cheaper the further you go!" Meiya shook her head. She couldn't listen to anything others said now.
"Mom, I hope you won't regret it." Mingxu shook his head.
Then the car continued driving and arrived at the next gas station, where the price was indeed a little cheaper.
"Sure enough, it's exactly the same as I am now." Meiya nodded, very satisfied.
"We are running low on gasoline." Xiaoxin sighed.
"Hey." Mingxu touched Xiaokui's sleeping face. Babies are the best, without so many worries.
"It's okay, it's okay. As long as we think that we can buy the cheapest gasoline, that's the best." Meiya was still immersed in her own world.
“The last one is coming.”
"The lights are flashing faster and faster."
"How far can we drive?"
"How should I know! Xiaoxu, ask your father again."
"Hey~"
"Hey, Dad, um..."
"What did Dad say?" Meiya asked when she saw Mingxu hang up the phone.
"Hurry up and refuel! Don't delay!" Mingxu said, imitating Guangzhi's tone.
"..."
"Mom, we're here." Seeing the third gas station, Meiya turned around and left because this gas station was more expensive!
"Impossible, why is this gas station so expensive?!" Meiya complained.
"...Mom, now is not the time to complain, hurry up and do your best!" Mingxu was a little panicked.
"No! There's definitely enough left to go back!" Meiya still didn't want to listen to them.
"...It's over." Mingxu and Xiaoxin stopped talking.
Sure enough, the car stopped after driving around a few street corners and was completely out of gas.
"Dad, there's no gas..." Mingxu made the call silently.
"...Ah~" Guangzhi helplessly told Mingxu another method.
Mingxu then got out of the car and walked to the gas station, bought a gas barrel, filled it with more than ten liters of gasoline, and poured it into the car.
"Mom, this oil barrel is worth 3000." Mingxu said silently.
“…” Meiya remained silent.
