Chapter 62 Keep a Low Profile



"The total is 680 yuan. Do you think it's correct?" Feng Jiunian checked the goods and gave the price.

Xu Xiangyang shook his head and said, "Not counting the can you ate just now, the total is 678.5 yuan."

It’s my first time doing business, and it shouldn’t be like this with just a can of meat.

Feng Jiunian shook his head when he heard this. "That won't do. What has to be done is what has to be done. This is our first time doing business together. I'll be counting on you to provide me with goods in the future."

He smiled and counted the money to Xu Xiangyang. Carrying so much money with him made Xu Xiangyang look at him differently.

After all, anyone who can carry so much money with him must be very capable.

Xu Xiangyang struggled for so long and only saw more than a thousand yuan. Look at other people's bulging pockets, there is more than just this little money in them.

"Okay, Brother Feng, let's load the car and go eat. I'll arrange for you to come to Xincheng today." He waved his hand. He had earned more than 600 yuan today, so he had to eat something good.

Feng Jiunian smiled and nodded, "Okay, let's load the things." He was not polite. In the future, the two of them would have more opportunities to interact with each other, and it would be fine as long as there was give and take.

The two of them worked together to load all the things into the truck. During this time, Xu Xiangyang noticed that there were still a lot of things in the car, but they were covered with felt cloth, so he couldn't see what was inside at all.

Xu Xiangyang didn't ask any more questions. He just asked what he should ask and didn't talk nonsense about what he shouldn't ask.

Feng Jiunian was very tactful and never asked any questions. Both of them were smart people, so they didn't say anything after the transaction was completed.

The two of them went to a state-owned restaurant together, ordered food and started eating.

This time he had meat tickets, so he was not polite at all when ordering dishes. He could take the food away if he couldn't finish it.

Besides, when you treat someone to a meal, you have to be generous and not be stingy and make people feel uncomfortable.

"Brother, the last time we met I was too busy drinking to have a good chat." Feng Jiunian took a bite of his food and said to him, "This is our second meeting. I hope we can work together again in the future."

Xu Xiangyang smiled and nodded, "No problem, Brother Feng is a very honest person. We will have to interact with each other in the future."

In fact, he had no intention of doing a long-term transaction. After all, although it seemed insignificant, it was actually quite dangerous.

Once caught, the consequences will be disastrous.

It’s May now, and in two months the situation will start to change. Who knows who will be unlucky?

Although Xu Xiangyang felt that he was reborn and traveled through time, he never thought that he was superior to others. Instead, he cherished his hard-earned life.

He felt it was not worth it to lose his current life just for a little money.

Therefore, once his personal safety is involved, he will choose not to do such a thing without hesitation.

The two of them just had dinner, and Feng Jiunian had to drive back soon, so Xu Xiangyang did not urge them to drink.

Safety is always the first priority. Don’t drink and drive, and don’t drive after drinking. Let’s travel safely for everyone.

After dinner, Xu Xiangyang sent the people to the city gate, and then said: "Brother Feng, next time I have goods, I will inform you in advance. Have a safe journey."

He has always been very enthusiastic towards people who give him money.

Feng Jiunian smiled and nodded, "Okay, Brother Daqiang, I'm leaving first. I'll wait for your call when I get back."

With a wave of his hand, he started the car and drove away.

After Xu Xiangyang watched him leave, he turned around and went back.

Today's task was very successful. I earned more than 600 yuan. I can rest assured for a while from now on. At least I have a house.

When he arrived at the small courtyard, Xu Xiangyang replaced the lock he had bought with a new one. Although he did not distrust the original owner, the old lock could be easily pried open or broken after a little movement.

It is better to replace the lock with a new one, which will increase the safety factor.

Looking at the open space in the yard, it would be nice to plant some vegetables in the spring, but unfortunately he doesn't know how to grow vegetables.

The house has been almost cleaned up and the smell has gone away.

The old paint on the door was also painted a new light blue, and the window frames were the same, making it look like a new house.

After all, the quality of the blue brick and tile houses they built is different. Although such houses are basically common in rural areas in later generations, there are still very few of them now. There are only a few such houses around, and most of them are red brick houses.

Xu Xiangyang thinks that green bricks look better than red bricks, although it won’t be noticeable after they are covered with cement.

The lights in the house are all good, so there's no need to replace them. Even though the wattage is lower, it doesn't affect my vision.

He didn't want to replace the lamp with a higher wattage one, lest when the lights were on at night, his house would become the brightest one on the whole street.

Keep a low profile.

The next day, Xu Xiangyang went to work as usual because Qian Wenqing was also on a business trip and had not returned yet.

He had previously asked someone to help him move, so this time he had to wait until Qian Wenqing came back before he could move.

At lunch, Xu Xiangyang sat at the same table with Yan Laosan. It had been a long time since they had contacted each other, and he had been very nice to them before.

"Third brother." He greeted him and sat opposite Yan Lao San.

Yan Laosan didn't expect that he would look for him. He usually saw Xu Xiangyang coming to eat in a hurry, and he knew that he was busy with work, so he never contacted him again.

How can we not meet if we work in the same unit?

"Brother, I haven't seen you recently." Yan Laosan asked with a smile.

Xu Xiangyang sighed, "Ah, didn't I just come back from a business trip? I rested at home for two days."

He has been very busy during this period and has never had a moment of leisure.

Yan Laosan had often heard that being a driver was a popular profession. The best thing about it was that he could drive around and buy good things that were not available in the new city.

His eyes flickered slightly, and he glanced around before saying, "Brother, let's go out and talk after dinner."

Xu Xiangyang looked at his expression and nodded. It was probably not convenient for people to talk too much.

After the two finished their meal, they washed their lunch boxes and went outside.

There were also quite a few people outside who had just come in to eat or were leaving after eating.

Yan Laosan took him to a bench nearby and gave him a cigarette.

Xu Xiangyang took it and lit it for him with his lighter, and then lit it himself.

When Yan Laosan saw his lighter, he looked a little curious, but he didn't ask much, just took a few more glances.

"Brother, driving is a tiring job, right?" Although he had never driven a car before, he knew that driving meant driving all night long, and it was so tiring to sit still all day.

Xu Xiangyang smiled and replied, "No matter how tiring it is, it's not as tiring as doing physical labor. I can't stand the pain either, and I'm still young."

This is the truth. He had to persevere for more than half a month before.

Although I feel much better, I still feel very tired and can't hold on.

Yan Laosan nodded. He had been doing this kind of physical work for many years and of course knew that it was not easy, especially bad for the body.

If he continues to work at this level for a long time, he will become sicker and sicker as he gets older. Now he can hardly hold on any longer.

However, with the burden of the family on his shoulders, he could only grit his teeth and persevere.
