After dinner, Xu Xiangyang asked the couple to go back first. The remaining things would be easy to pack up, so he didn't bother them.
Yan Laosan did not insist. It was a rare day off and he still had some time in the afternoon, so he hurried back to rest.
Back in the single room, Xu Xiangyang sighed. It was very noisy outside. It was especially noisy when a whole family had only one child.
In just a short while, two children were already crying.
There are five or six families living in this small courtyard, which is really great.
But he had his own space, so he didn't care. He could just lock the door and go inside. How comfortable would that be? He wouldn't hear any noise.
Although all the things in the house have been taken out, they have not been put in order yet.
Yan Laosan helped to install the bed, and I had to rely on myself for everything else.
Xu Xiangyang didn't have any newspapers, so he covered the wall with white paper first. There was paste in the cafeteria, so it was not difficult to do.
After about a meter and a half of it was laid out, I began to make the bed. The bed, at a width of one and a half meters, was quite large, and the bedding was also new.
Then I tidied up other places.
It didn't look like there was much stuff, but it took a long time to clean it up.
It was past three in the afternoon and it was already dark.
Now that the curtains are hung, all the work is done.
He chose thick dark blue cloth for the curtains because he was afraid that others would see what was going on in the room.
Sometimes he is not outside. What if someone finds out that he has disappeared?
With so many people living in this big yard, it's inevitable that someone will notice him, so it's better to be careful.
Lying on the bed, Xu Xiangyang prepared to go into the space to eat. He was exhausted this afternoon.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.
He was a little puzzled. Who could come at this time?
When I opened the door, I saw a woman, about thirty years old, of ordinary appearance, with a shifty look, which made people even more disgusted.
She stretched her neck to look behind Xu Xiangyang, then smiled and said, "I heard you just moved here? Where do you work?"
While speaking, the man did not forget to look at the person in front of him.
Xu Xiangyang looks good, but his previous appearance of being lazy and gluttonous has lowered his appearance.
It looks different this time. Who wouldn’t be interested in such a sunny and handsome young man?
Xu Xiangyang noticed her looking around and felt unhappy.
"Are you from the street office, or some other office? Are you here for the household registration check? Do you have your ID? Let me see it."
He asked to see the ID without hesitation, but in fact he didn't want to talk to this person any more.
We live in the same yard, and although we see each other every day, you can't just visit like this, right?
What's more, there are differences between men and women. What is she, a woman, doing here?
The woman in front of him was stunned. She didn't expect him to ask that. Most people wouldn't talk like that, right?
"No, I'm not from the street, I..." She wanted to explain something when someone came over from behind.
"Zhang Limei, how could such a young man like you? Go somewhere cool."
The person who spoke was also a woman in her thirties, and she looked at Zhang Limei with disdain.
Zhang Limei was a little unhappy. Does it matter what others say about what she does?
"What's your business? Can't I ask when someone comes to the courtyard?"
The two people didn't get along to begin with, and the quarrel got even worse after a few words.
Xu Xiangyang didn't want to argue with these women, so he closed the door and locked it.
Although these people lived in the same yard and saw each other every day, he had no intention of making friends with them.
Especially the woman just now, she looked at herself as if she were her prey.
This feeling made Xu Xiangyang very uncomfortable, but he would go to work every day and would not interact with other people during his rest time.
The two people outside saw that the door was closed, and they went back one by one without arguing anymore.
After all, Zhang Limei also wanted to take advantage. Since the door was closed and there was an annoying person next to her, she simply left.
The next morning, Xu Xiangyang went to the factory after breakfast and took care of the food matters.
He was given 26 kilograms of food every month, and the rest was given when his salary was paid.
Once you get the food coupons, you have to turn them into food and send them back to your hometown.
But they are not needed now. These food coupons can be saved for treating others to meals and socializing in the future.
Although Xu Xiangyang is very satisfied with his current job, he didn't always want to be a driver.
People should have lofty ideals and ambitions, right? If you always stick to a job and earn a fixed salary, you're crazy.
Of course, that requires an opportunity. Now I still have to earn money to eat honestly.
Drivers' jobs are actually stable, and their driving times are fixed every month.
The beginning and end of the month are busy, and now it is the middle of the month, so there is not much to do.
Xiao Qian ran into the lounge panting, then looked at Xu Xiangyang and said, "Comrade Xu, the car outside is ready. My master asked you to take me to the next provincial capital to pick up the goods."
Actually, this period is not very busy, but it is impossible to have nothing to do all the time.
When Xu Xiangyang heard that there was a job to do, he quickly got up and went out.
You have to be more proactive about this. Don't be the first one to eat, otherwise you will be the slow one to work.
What's more, although driving is tiring, it is not as tiring as physical work.
"What's going on? I didn't hear about the car being dispatched this morning." Xu Xiangyang asked as he walked.
Qian Wenqing sighed and said, "Isn't this the Director's task? My master has already driven the Director there. We have to hurry."
Xu Xiangyang couldn't hear any clues, so he could only drive away. Some things are hard to answer even if you ask, and it can easily make people feel annoyed.
The two drove all the way to the neighboring province and arrived at Beicheng.
"Brother Xu, just stop over there. Let's take a rest and wait for the leader's arrangements." Qian Wenqing was accustomed to this kind of itinerary, so he was very clear about the next arrangements.
Xu Xiangyang had no objection, and the two of them went to the guardhouse next door. There was a hot stove inside, so it was very warm.
"Hey, Xiao Qian is here." The security guard greeted Qian Wenqing warmly.
The two people seemed very familiar with each other and chatted about some daily matters.
Xu Xiangyang didn't say anything, just said hello and sat aside to listen to them.
His only understanding of the current era is the original owner's memory.
At other times, he mostly listens more and talks less, in case something goes wrong and causes trouble.
With such family conditions, we can't afford any trouble.
So Xu Xiangyang has always been cautious. Except when he is alone, he basically remains vigilant at all times.
The weather outside is very good and the sun is particularly bright.
Qian Wenqing glanced at the clock and asked Xu Xiangyang next to him, "Brother Xu, do you want to go to the department store? The stores here are much bigger than ours."
Xu Xiangyang did not object, nodded and went out with him.
This is an exaggeration, in fact it is just one more floor.
