Actually, it's really easy to get a job as a water deliveryman. As long as someone is willing to do it, water delivery companies are happy to hire them. Anyway, it's paid by piecework, three yuan for each bottle delivered, so it's definitely hard-earned money.
This area is mostly old residential areas, and it's only in old residential areas that people call it bottled purified water and drink it from water dispensers. Who would install a water purifier or something in a newly renovated house?
There are no elevators in the old residential area. A bucket of water weighs 40 jin (20 catties). Carrying one or two buckets is not a big deal, but carrying eight or ten buckets up to the fifth or sixth floor is a nightmare.
However, the man in the baseball cap was unaware of this and was riding his tricycle past the entrance of the district at that moment.
The security guard was not the same one as yesterday, because Zhang Jin was on leave. The security guard on duty had never seen the man in the baseball cap before. He only looked at the work ID the man handed over and checked the water jug on the cart before letting him pass.
The district has more than 500 households, each using 70 to 80 buckets of water. This truckload is only a portion of that.
After entering the district on his tricycle, the man in the baseball cap did not deliver water door-to-door according to the order. Instead, he wandered between the buildings in the district, trying to find the tall, thin boy with black-rimmed glasses from yesterday and confirm where he lived.
That was his real purpose.
Delivering water was just a cover; he certainly wasn't stupid enough to actually do manual labor to earn three yuan a bucket.
At this moment, Li Lechen had just turned over in bed, casually reached for his phone to check the time. It was only half past midnight, still a perfect time to sleep, so he pulled the covers over his head and prepared to take a nap.
The moment I closed my eyes, the phone rang.
Why not just send a message if you need something? You can check it anytime, and even reread it to think carefully about how to reply. Even if you're internally cursing, you can still reply properly with words.
Why do some people like to make phone calls? This made Le Chen, who is a homebody, very uncomfortable.
"Mom, so early in the morning..."
"What time is it? Why are you still sleeping?!"
On the other end of the phone, my mother's nagging was clearer than if it were right next to my ear.
Li Lechen quickly sat up and explained into the phone, "I stayed up too late reading last night, so I overslept this morning."
Clearly, Li Lechen's mother didn't believe her son would study so late. She'd be content if he just put in a little effort and got into a third-tier university. Her call wasn't to urge him to study.
"I forgot to tell them yesterday that they shouldn't leave their clothes there, but should wash them themselves."
"......"
The turn of events was too sudden. I thought my mom was going to urge me to study or something, but suddenly she just asked me to do laundry. I was overjoyed beyond words.
"besides!"
Another addition? I was too optimistic too soon.
"Also, don't always buy breakfast from the street. Your uncle gave me some sweet potatoes. Cut a piece and cook it into porridge. It's very nutritious. I won't be finished here for another four or five days. Don't come back looking like you've lost half your weight."
"Four or five more days?! Who's going to cook for me when I'm at school?"
"Make it yourself."
“I still need to study! I’m a senior in high school…” At this point, Li Lechen suddenly changed the subject and chuckled, “Mom, you don’t mean you’ve agreed to let me live at school, do you? If I live at school, the school will provide three meals a day.”
"If your grades improve dramatically, then you can consider boarding school. Otherwise, don't even think about it!" the voice on the other end of the phone said seriously. "If you're too lazy to cook for yourself, then eat junk food."
"Mom! Am I really your biological child?" Li Lechen asked, his face contorted with grief.
"no."
"Have you discussed with Dad about telling me the truth?"
“I spoke with your dad before calling you. He said you’re all grown up now, it’s time for you to know.”
"......"
If the conversation gets this awkward, no one can continue unless money is transferred to them.
Dejected, Li Lechen hung up the phone, his sleep interrupted. He could only get up listlessly and start thinking about whether to cook something for himself or go out and buy junk food. At the same time, he needed to finish his summer homework as soon as possible to better prepare for the mock exams at the start of the school year and strive for a better score.
As for Li Lechen's mother, she did speak with Lechen's father before making this call. A new project at her company needed to be launched, and she was assigned to oversee it. The project would last at least six months, meaning she wouldn't be able to cook for her son during that time.
As for Le Chen's father, he was often away on business trips and was even less able to take care of the mushrooms.
It seems that living on campus is the only option.
However, this only option must be made to maximize its effectiveness. Thus, it becomes the capital for enticement.
Five minutes later, Li Lechen decided to make breakfast for herself.
Food-related live streams are quite common on current live streaming platforms. As long as you can cook, can cook, and can even say a few words while cooking, you can start a food live stream.
Of course, most of them don't become popular because you can only look at them but not eat them. If you look at them too much, you'll get hungry, so many people will just ignore them.
But Li Lechen started a live stream and introduced that she would be "live-streaming cooking" next, which everyone found very strange.
Do I still need to cook? Can't I just open the package and eat?
[Does the streamer mean to open a can of food live?]
What's so interesting about opening a can? You might as well open that water pipe that lets out Class III water and watch it for a while.
[Since it's free, I'll watch whatever the streamer broadcasts.]
I'm so lucky! I can still find this live stream today. I couldn't find it after I left yesterday, and I didn't sleep a wink all night.
[Those who have already reached level 20 immediately bookmarked this live stream room.]
Are there new canned goods in the exclusive zone? I feel like the exclusive zone is so different from what I imagined; it's not even in the same league as the safe zone.
