It's strange that I can sleep well in the same bed
"Auntie, we are not here to cause trouble." Cheng Enyue took a few steps back. "We are sincerely discussing cooperation with you. Please give us some time."
"Give what?" Auntie waved her hand impatiently to drive them away, attracting everyone's attention. Xiang Chuzhe reached out to pull Cheng Enyue back behind him and said softly, "Auntie, is this okay? When you are free for a while, we will come to talk to you again."
"I've been busy all day. I have to eat and wash up at night. How can I have time? I'm so tired!" Auntie refused again.
"What's going on? Did the courier lose the guy's package?" People queuing up to pick up packages were gossiping among themselves.
An auntie said: "It seems like some kind of cooperation? Maybe they sent a lot of stuff and wanted to bargain."
Xiang Chuzhe was about to speak, but Cheng Enyue spoke first: "Auntie, we won't bother you for now. See you later."
Xiang Chuzhe pulled at his seat belt with a frown on his face, saying, "We went to three express delivery outlets today and couldn't negotiate with any of them. Now I finally understand the value of the free shipping area. If we can't negotiate the postage, the cost will go up."
The sky gradually darkened, and the lights in the houses along the way had been turned on. Children were playing in the open spaces, and the elderly were shouting at the playful children to go home for dinner.
Cheng Enyue steered the wheel with one hand, turned into the village road back home, and comforted him, "Don't be discouraged, there are still several express delivery points in the town. Let's review it tonight and adjust our words to seek cooperation, and try to reach cooperation with the express delivery points in the town. The distance to the county town is far, which increases the freight cost for one trip and also increases the fruit loss rate."
Thick smoke from the earthen stove filled the entire kitchen. Li Xuran was so choked up that he couldn't open his eyes and burst into tears. He shouted, "Boss Song, did you wet your pants when you were sleeping at night like Aunt Mei said? That's why you can't even light a fire!"
"Don't shout." Song Yifan tried hard to open his eyes, holding a bamboo blowpipe in his hand and blew air into the earthen stove, but was choked by the thick smoke.
"Wow, woof, woof. Brother Yue is the god of the kitchen. I miss him after not seeing him for more than half a day." Song Yifan's face was covered with wood ash, with black and gray streaks.
"Who misses me?" Cheng Enyue stepped into the yard and asked in a cheerful tone.
Song Yifan stood up suddenly and pretended to sob: "Brother, you are finally back!"
Li Xuran said with a smile: "Brother Yue, if you don't come back, we can only eat stewed shredded potatoes tonight."
"Mr. Song, the new makeup is very unique." Xiang Chuzhe put his arm around Song Yifan's shoulder, looking at him and smiling.
"Really?" Song Yifan showed a sly smile, "Then I'll give you one!" After saying that, he suddenly moved his hand covered with ash towards Chuzhe's face and said with a playful smile, "Free makeup."
Xiang Chuzhe couldn't dodge in time, so he grabbed his hand on his shoulder and fought back playfully: "Okay, Mr. Song, you're done."
Cheng Enyue smiled and sat on the small stool in front of the earthen stove, saying, "I'll light the fire. They'll be hungry by the time they're done."
Li Xuran opened the lid of the peanut oil and said, "When Brother Xu is not around, the two of them can fight three times a day."
The fire in the earthen stove was burning brightly, and the light of the fire shone on Cheng Enyue's face. He said, "Brother Xu and the others have learned the art of making flower cakes very well."
The oil in the pot sizzled. He looked up at Li Xuran pouring shredded potatoes into the pot and sighed, "I hope we can have a smoother tomorrow."
"Ah Qiu!" Pei Xu sneezed twice in a row after taking a shower and said jokingly, "Who is scolding me?"
Jiang Lin held up his phone to show him the chat interface and said, "Someone misses you. Your family just sent a new video. President Song and Chuzhe were fighting. They asked you, the chairman, to go back and administer justice."
Pei Xu wiped his hair while watching the video, and couldn't help laughing: "I am Master Qingtang, right? Wait for me to come back and solve the case."
The scene of brothers playing and fighting at home appeared in front of him. The sparse and ordinary daily life was as sweet as cotton candy to Pei Xu's heart.
Jiang Lin looked at him, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
There were many flowers and plants planted in the yard, and insects chirped. The sound of pedestrians talking and laughing could be heard from the back of the yard. Jiang Lin hesitated for a while, then made up an excuse and said, "Pei Xu, I'm trying some flavors today. I ate a little too much flower cake. Can you go out for a walk?"
Pei Xu came out of the yard to hang up the towel, looked back, and fell into the pair of eyes that were looking at him.
"Okay, let's go out and walk around the ancient town. We can travel and learn at the same time."
The ancient town is much quieter at night than during the day. Tourists stroll through the town carrying delicious food with ancient town characteristics, occasionally stopping to take pictures. Shop owners stand at the door with tasting samples, enthusiastically soliciting customers.
The two grown men walked side by side in silence in the ancient town. The hustle and bustle around them seemed to isolate them, and the atmosphere gradually fell into weirdness.
The owner of the tofu stall a few meters ahead shouted loudly: "Exploding tofu! A portion of tofu! Come over and get one if you're passing by!"
Pei Xu touched his nose awkwardly and spoke first: "Would you like one? I heard from the aunt in the workshop that this is a special delicacy in the ancient town during the day."
Jiang Lin tried to ease the atmosphere and asked jokingly, "Will the chairman treat me to a meal? Will it be on the official or private account?"
Pei Xu pretended to take out his pocket and said, "Maybe I have to use the public account. I have no money. I'm very poor!"
"I'm rich and generous." Jiang Lin turned his head to look at him, "Mr. Jiang treats you."
The bursting tofu is fried on the iron plate until both sides are golden brown, then placed in a paper bowl and sprinkled with green chopped green onions. It tastes smooth and refreshing without any glue.
Jiang Lin wiped the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "This tastes like the chopped green onion tofu made by Enyue."
Pei Xu said: "If you miss your brothers, just tell me directly. I won't say you are hypocritical."
Jiang Lin followed the figure who was throwing away the garbage and said, "Yeah, I miss them a lot. I can't leave them anymore, but..."
The man turned around and asked, "What? Do you have anything else to say?" Pei Xu stood where he was, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.
"I want to beat them up too!" Jiang Lin put his hands in his pockets, "They actually went to eat hamburgers while we were not at home, but I still miss them. There is a souvenir street in front, let's go and take a look."
Pei Xu's heart dropped, and he stopped her, "Auntie said tomorrow's craft is very important, and she told us to get a good rest tonight."
Jiang Lin's inner thoughts: "It would be strange if I could sleep well if we were sleeping in the same bed together!"
It was a little after two in the morning. Jiang Lin suddenly opened his eyes but did not dare to turn over or move. He could only stare at the light and shadow reflected on the wall through the window.
"I'm a young man full of vigor and vitality! Does God have to test me like this?" Jiang Lin roared in his heart.
Pei Xu opened his eyes slightly, and as memories came back, he felt hotter and hotter.
Jiang Lin was sleeping behind him at the moment. The distance between them was only 80 centimeters, but it was a gap that could never be crossed. The progress bar of time had reached the beginning of May. By July, Jiang Lin would leave Peijia Village. Perhaps all this was just a small episode in his life, and he would soon disappear in the bright lights and night life of Beijing.
Pei Xu didn't dare to gamble! If he told the truth, maybe he would never be able to send greeting messages again.
Jiang Lin stared at the flickering lights. The chandelier under the eaves was swaying in the wind, just like his heart, he thought.
Pei Xu is a very outstanding person. His education is beyond the reach of ordinary people, and his professional knowledge is solid. He knows everything about farm projects, mountain chickens, and nursing knowledge.
Jiang Lin recalled the time when he stood in front of the fertilizer tank and quickly calculated the ratio of each fertilizer in his mind, and when the equipment broke down, he lay on the ground, covered in dirt, repairing it, looking very wild.
Fans used to praise him: "Men who work hard are the most handsome!"
In Jiang Lin's eyes, Pei Xu is the same.
He has a good personality and good character. He never hesitates to respond to requests for help from villagers and tries his best to help solve problems. His appearance is so attractive that people can't take their eyes off him when they first see him. Both his appearance and his inner qualities are excellent.
Maybe one day, just as his parents expected, he would marry a woman as outstanding as him, start a family and have children, instead of embarking on a thorny road that would be incomprehensible and filled with strange looks from his parents and elders.
Jiang Lin sighed slightly and then closed his eyes.
The sun was shining brightly. Liu Huabao smiled and turned back as he walked: "Brothers, we need to be thick-skinned. The aunts can't control their voices when they are busy, please don't mind."
Xiang Chuzhe said: "We have inquired about it. The profit point of delivering a parcel at a courier point is not high. It mainly depends on the number of parcels received. We must explain our subsequent volume to the aunt. We don't speak dialect and are not credible. You can tell us later that we will supplement it in time."
Don't hit someone who smiles at you, especially teenagers who are carrying fruits.
The aunt happily took the fruit, but the sun was hot and no one came to pick up the package.
The aunt poured them some water and said sincerely, "I know why you came, but you can see that a courier point is so small, especially in a town, the profit is not high. I am of course happy that you want to cooperate with me to send parcels, but I have encountered similar situations before. Someone in the town started a live broadcast to sell woven rattan baskets after work and asked me to cooperate with express delivery. I thought it was not easy to start a business, so I agreed. But what happened? I sent him parcels at the most favorable price, but he cheated me and only sent two or three pieces a day. Every time I asked him, he evaded me. I didn't make a penny and even lost money on every order."
Xiang Chuzhe poked Liu Huabao's knee.
"Don't worry, Auntie, my brother and the others are stars!" Liu Huabao pointed at the photography teacher outside, and Auntie looked outside doubtfully.
Liu Huabao continued, "After a while, when the mangoes in the village are ripe, my brothers will start live streaming to sell the fruit. You know that our fruit is of good quality, and with the celebrity effect, we will definitely have no trouble getting orders, and we won't trick you into spending money."
The aunt still had some concerns: "Mangoes are fresh produce, and the delivery fee for one order is not cheap. If you are like them, I will lose more money on one order. You can see that I also earn my money through hard work, so we should be considerate of each other."
Li Xuran said: "We understand, and we don't want to embarrass Auntie, but your courier has a time advantage in delivering fresh produce, so we shamelessly visited her again today. Currently, villagers from several villages have asked us to help sell mangoes, and the quantity must be quite large."
The aunt said: "There are more than a few villages in our town that grow mangoes, but in recent years, apart from the elderly at home sending them to their children in other places, I have never seen anyone selling mangoes online. The quantity is quite large, but can you sell them?"
