Chapter 31 Twists and turns

Ouyang Mingmei thought about it and answered the phone.

Sure enough, as Ouyang Mingmei thought, as soon as she answered the phone, she had not spoken yet, and Gao Yang's anxious voice came from the phone: "Mingmei, are you at home now?"

"Oh, yes, I'm at home now, what's wrong?" Ouyang Mingmei said, blocking the microphone with her palm slightly.

"I seemed to have taken the wrong key when I was at work today, and it was your key. If you are at home, please help me find out where my key is. I will go back to get it right now." Gao Yang said.

Gaoyang's company is not far from home, and the fastest driving is about twenty minutes.

If Gao Yang came back now, she would definitely have too little time to go home.

"Is that right? Don't worry, I'll help you find it. But are you sure that the key is forgotten at home? Did you forget it in the company or in the car? Because I didn't see your key in the entrance hall just now." Ouyang Mingmei asked back, trying to confuse Gao Yang's memory.

"I don't remember, so I'll ask in the company first, then go to the car to search. You can help me find it at home." Gao Yang replied.

"Well, okay. If you find it, I will call you and come back. Otherwise, even if you come back, you won't find the key, it will be a waste of time." Ouyang Mingmei suggested.

"Well, too, okay, you find it and call me. I'll go to another place to look for it first." Gao Yang said.

"Yeah, okay." Ouyang Mingmei said and hung up the phone.

Then, I breathed a long sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Gao Yang didn't notice anything.

However, time is tight and you can't waste time anymore.

Otherwise, this morning would have been in vain.

Ouyang Mingmei stood up from the stool and asked to the middle-aged woman: "When will the boss come back? I have to hurry back, there is something to do at home."

"I'll go back soon." The woman said with a smile on her face.

At this moment, someone suddenly walked in. Ouyang Mingmei looked up and saw that it was a thin man, of about thirties and forties.

"Oh, you're back, hurry up, someone is waiting to get the key!" The woman hugged the child and quickly took the food from the man's hand.

"Uh." The middle-aged man replied dullly, rubbed his wet palms on his big pants, smiled at Ouyang Mingmei, and said, "Give me the key."

"Here, I'll give you one." Ouyang Mingmei handed the string of keys in her hand to the middle-aged man.

"Then sit for a while, and it'll be fine right away." The middle-aged man took the keys and looked carefully one by one. He took out the keys of the same mold from the strings of key templates hanging on the key-fitting machine, and placed them on the machine to start copying the keys.

"Squeak...squeak..."

The gears of the machine rotated rapidly, and the shape of the key soon began to show its outline. After the machine was polished, the middle-aged man put the two keys together and carefully compared them. Now it was a little different, so he picked up the file and polished them again.

He is a meticulous and serious craftsman.

Ouyang Mingmei smiled slightly, approving.

But it takes a lot of time to get the keys like this. It took several minutes for the middle-aged man to get two keys. If he continues to do this, it will take more than ten minutes to get all the keys on the Gaoyang key ring.

I’m afraid I can’t wait for so long!

Ouyang Mingmei's heart, which had calmed down, became impatient again and urged the middle-aged man repeatedly.

"Big girl, you can't hurry to get this key. If you don't match the key well, you can't unlock the lock if you take it back, and you have to go there for nothing." The middle-aged man smiled silly and said.

Ouyang Mingmei was embarrassed to urge her again, so she said with a smile: "If you have something to do at home, you have to go home quickly. Please hurry up."

"Yeah, okay." The middle-aged man agreed, but the work in his hands was not intended to speed up.

Ouyang Mingmei stomped her feet in a hurry.

The phone rang again, Ouyang Mingmei took a look, protected the microphone with her palm, and pressed the answer button.

"Have you found it? I searched for it in the company and the car, but I couldn't find the key. I remember that I should have taken the key back after get off work yesterday. You can search at home." Gao Yang said hurriedly.

"Oh, okay, I'll look for it again." Ouyang Mingmei said in a low voice.

"Hey, Mingmei, are you at home now? Why did I hear you so noisy?" Gao Yang seemed to hear the sound of the key-fitting machine polishing the keys and asked suspiciously.

"Yes, I'm at home." Ouyang Mingmei uneasyly handed her phone from her left hand to her right hand, and whispered: "It's the sound downstairs, which has been jingling, as if it's being renovated."

"Oh, that's it." Gao Yang was still a little suspicious.

At this time, the baby in the middle-aged woman's arms started crying inappropriately, and the sound rang across the roof.

Ouyang Mingmei was startled and almost slipped in the phone in her hand.

"Why are there any child crying?" Gao Yang became suspicious again.

"TV is the sound of TV. I was watching TV just now and forgot to turn off." Ouyang Mingmei said, hurriedly walked out a few steps and walked out of the narrow door of the shop.

There are thick strips of plastic mosquito-proof curtains hanging at the door of the shop. After leaving the door, you can't hear the cry of the children.

Gao Yang's doubts were eliminated, but he still said dissatisfiedly: "Let you find the key and have time to watch TV! Find the keys quickly and don't waste time anymore. I'll go back now, it's best to find them before I get home!"

"Okay, I understand." Ouyang Mingmei said in a low voice, then hurriedly hung up the phone.

Back in the shop, the middle-aged man was getting the last key, and it was almost done.

Ouyang Mingmei breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Okay, I'll give it to you." The middle-aged man wiped the metal residue on the key, blew it with his mouth, and then handed the original key and the matched key to Ouyang Mingmei.

"Thank you, boss." Ouyang Mingmei stuffed the equipped key into her pocket and asked, "How much?"

"One key is one piece and five, a total of eight keys, a total of twelve." The middle-aged man said with a silly look on his face.

Ouyang Mingmei paid the money and didn't even have time to get the change she had recovered, so she ran out in a panic.

"Look for money for you." The middle-aged man ran out and shouted anxiously at Ouyang Mingmei's back.

Ouyang Mingmei didn't care much at this time, and just wanted to go home quickly.

Gao Yang had already said on the phone that he was on the way home. If he didn't hurry up, Ouyang Mingmei was afraid that he wouldn't be able to get home before Gao Yang.

He ran all the way, not caring about panting and sweat beads on his face, but when Ouyang Mingmei arrived at the entrance of the community, she saw Gao Yang's black Magotan car slowly driving over.

Oh no, it's still a step slower!

Ouyang Mingmei held the keys in her hand tightly.
