Feng Yuan frowned slightly, "The courier is too hard, the wind and the sun are blowing, can you afford it?"

"It's okay, brother, didn't you tell me the news before, can couriers earn 20,000 yuan a month? I'm not greedy, I can earn three or four thousand yuan before school starts. Xu Mu's chin rested on his backpack, his eyebrows and eyes were slightly curved, and he looked like a longing little miser. His eyelashes are naturally slightly curled, and at this moment, they extend a just right arc along the lowered eyelids, lining the flying corners of his eyes, revealing the good mood of the owner. Before he came, he had sent a lot of messages based on the recruitment information on the Internet, casting a large net, and now he finally got a response, and he resolutely can't give up.

"I have a good memory. Feng Yuan glanced at him, lifted the armrest of the chair and took out a bottle of vitamin drink and handed it over, secretly planning to go to a few friends to ask if there were any intern places.

"Well, I still remember the Grey Record. The corners of Xu Mu's eyes flew, and he showed a smug smile at Feng Yuan, looked down at the bottle of drink that would not be cheap if he looked at the packaging, and silently pinched it in his hand and was reluctant to drink it.

It is said that the ancestors of the Xu family used to be a family of Taoist priests, and there were also many famous talents all over the world, and they were brilliant for a while, but now all that is left to Xu Mu is the twenty or thirty difficult traditional vertical Taoist scriptures and manuscripts on the bookshelf, as well as a box of strange-looking things that don't understand the purpose. He Qiang didn't let Xu Mu touch the things in the box, but he flipped through the books casually. So, one of Xu Mu and Feng Yuan's pastimes when they were children was to make a bet with endorsements, pick one of the ancient books that ordinary people have a headache when they look at them, turn a page casually, and see who can memorize it first. "Fu Ash Record" is the book that Feng Yuan pointed out to Xu Mu to memorize the most, and it is full of obscure spells.

"Okay, from now on, before you get home, if you can finish memorizing the first volume of Fu Ash, I will cook you roasted beef brisket with potatoes, sweet and sour short ribs, honey roasted wings, and pork knuckle soup today. Feng Yuan is familiar with someone's tastes, and the series of thoughts are all carnivore Xu Mu's favorite dishes.

"Words count!" Xu Mu's eyes lit up, and he jumped up from the passenger seat with a "whoosh", and was dragged back to his original position by the seat belt without leaving the seat for five centimeters. Xu Mu covered his face in shame, and didn't dare to look at Feng Yuan for a long time.

"Don't start yet?" Feng Yuan smiled at the corner of his mouth and handed him a step, with this living treasure, he would definitely not be lonely in the future.

Feng Yuan's rented house is in the faculty residential area next to N University, thirty minutes away from the train station. Xu Mu was so dry in the car that he wanted to die or live, and he entertained Feng Yuan with a book, and only after getting out of the car did he realize that he had been tricked. In the trunk of the car, there are piles of beef brisket, ribs, pork feet, chicken wings and other ingredients, and it is clear that he has been preparing to cook a big meal for him a long time ago.

What about the most basic trust between people? Xu Mu pointed at the pile of things sadly and angrily, "Brother, you are playing me again!"

"You can choose not to eat it. Feng Yuan raised his eyebrows without changing his face, and bent down to carry the two big bags of things. Disturb my dreams, run the supermarket and the train station for you early in the morning, and don't play anyone with you!

"Eat, eat, eat!" Xu Mu lost his integrity, dragged the suitcase with a low face and ran over, and politely took a bag from Feng Yuan's hand and put it on the suitcase. It's a small thing to lose a festival, it's a big thing to starve to death, and it's not a matter of reciting ancient texts all the way in front of food! He Qiang has been sticking to the position of a dark cuisine expert for twelve years so far, and his cooking skills are not as good as Xu Mu. Feng Yuan was self-taught with two food books after renting a house, and when he came home during the Spring Festival, he was surprised to cook a table full of New Year's dishes, and his uncle and nephew who could eat were reluctant to lift their heads. Talent and academic bully, ordinary people only have envy, jealousy and hatred.

Feng Yuan rewarded Xu Mu with the eyes of a person who knew the times as Junjie, and led him to the direction of the elevator, "I'll cook later, you sort out your luggage first, the guest bedroom hasn't been vacated for the time being, you can be wronged and sleep with me for a few days in the master bedroom." ”

Feng Yuan was busy in the kitchen, Xu Mu secretly stuffed the bottle of vitamin drink that he was reluctant to drink all the way back into the refrigerator, poured a cup of white water from the cold water cup and poured a large sip, and walked around the room with the water cup.

The house is a standard two-bedroom living room, with an area of about eighty square meters, the living room faces east, and there is a lead-gray fabric sofa opposite the LCD TV, the milky white long-pile wool cushion on the sofa and the wool carpet on the side of the glass coffee table are obviously complete, and there is a minimalist metal floor lamp next to the ottoman, and the whole living room is only gray, white and black in three cold and hard tones.

The master bedroom is about the size of the living room, with rows of wood-coloured and cream-painted glass wardrobes against the wall, and sliding doors open one-third to stack T-shirts and shirts in various colors. In the middle of the room is a two-meter-two big bed, the quilt on the bed is half rolled and half bunked, and a pillow is placed at the head of the bed in a precarious position, and it looks like it is about to fall to the ground. Xu Mu apologized for helping Feng Yuan pull the quilt flat and put the pillow back in place.

There is no bed in the guest bedroom, there are bookshelves and a large corner computer desk, on one side of the computer there are a few messy drawings scattered on the countertop, and on the other side from large to small are placed three humanoid dolls with stick figures, all three of which are welded and wound by steel bars the thickness of the little finger to make a continuous running action, and the tallest of them has a familiar wooden peace card hanging on the arm of the largest doll. The body of the card has a gentian-like wood grain of pale yellow and brown, and the golden brilliance flows in it, like golden sand sinking under the water, flowing and sparkling.

Xu Mu's eyes paused on the sign, this brand was a gift made by Feng Yuan when he came to Shanghai to study at university six years ago, but he didn't expect Feng Yuan to keep it with him. The so-called safe and quiet card, refers to the smooth surface without any carving treatment of the ornament tag, mostly jade-based, good jade is not carved, the craftsman is generally called "nothing", this kind of brand is given the meaning of peace and quiet, all the best. Xu Mu, who is still a little bit old, can afford to buy expensive jade, he rummaged through the cabinets at home for a long time, just found a piece of wood the size of half a palm, although the shell is jet black, the cross-section is yellow and brown, faintly shining with golden light, his uncle said that it is called Jin Si Nan ebony. Xu Mu didn't understand wood, so he felt very comfortable in his eyes, and begged his uncle to cut the wood into two rectangular pieces of wood, he himself took a few pieces of sandpaper and grinding rods from thick to fine, and began to grind after writing homework every day, and it took half a month to grind one of them into the peace card in front of him, and then solemnly put on a lanyard and gave it to Feng Yuan. Feng Yuan didn't have any obvious expression after getting it, Xu Mu thought he didn't like it, it turned out that he was just pretending to be cool.

"Brother, I'd better sleep on the sofa. I wake up early, so I don't have to make you sleep. It's just over a month anyway. Xu Mu walked into the kitchen again, picked up a potato and began to peel it neatly. He had just seen that the sofa in the living room was more than a meter wide, and if the cushion used as a backrest was removed, it would be more than enough for him to sleep alone. Feng Yuan sometimes has to stay up late to draw, and on his days off, he likes to sleep lazy, and it is too easy for him to squeeze into the master bedroom to affect his rest.

"Whatever you want, don't cry to your uncle when the time comes, and complain that I abuse you. Feng Yuan boldly unwrapped the plastic wrap on the beef packaging box, bringing out a crackling sound. He originally wanted to vacate the guest bedroom in the middle of next month, but he didn't expect to be suddenly attacked by Xu Mu, and he didn't prepare at all.

"If he wants to scold, he will scold me first. Thinking of the message he pressed on the refrigerator door, Xu Mu shrunk his neck weakly.

Feng Yuan shook his hand and turned his head keenly, "You sneaked here?"

".................." Xu Mu regretted that he wanted to slap himself, and he leaked his bottom before he could eat the meal!

"Call your uncle, immediately!" Feng Yuan raised his eyebrows, his eyes sharp.

"Not now, he's driving, and he can't take a taxi until about half past twelve. Xu Muna looked at Feng Yuan cautiously out of the corner of his eyes, and replied. During He Qiang's long-distance rest, he naturally memorized it well.

"Then you will beat at half past twelve, and you are not allowed to eat until you have played. ”

Xu Mu: ..................

He Qiang didn't agree at first, but later, under Feng Yuan's guarantee, he reluctantly nodded and asked Xu Mu to stay and see the situation. After all, the matter has come to this, instead of letting Xu Mu toss back and forth again, it is better to let him stay for a few more days to adapt to the environment.

At half past three in the afternoon, Xu Mu, who was refreshed after the interview, sent a text message to Feng Yuan, who was changing drawings at home, and reported that he had successfully squeezed into the ranks of the courier brothers.

The wages of the couriers are piece-rate, one piece per piece, and there is no base salary. Xu Mu roughly calculated, if he sent 100 pieces of goods a day, he could earn 3,000 yuan a month, in addition to saving tuition, he could also pay Feng Yuan's rent, he bet on the boss's side of the N University admission notice and a copy of his ID card, negotiated the salary and settled cash every day, and received the training materials and two sets of silver-gray uniforms embroidered with orange and red logos on the spot, and finalized the next day.

Qianli Express said that it was a company, but in fact, it was an express delivery point contracted by a couple surnamed Zhang, located in a store on the ground floor of a commercial and residential building, only five subway stops away from Feng Yuan's residence, and the transportation was very convenient.

The area in the hands of the Zhang family and his wife is divided into five parts, which are in charge of five couriers, Xu Mu, who is part-time, is in charge of the area numbered four. Judging from the map, the area he is responsible for is the smallest, and it is close to the city center, which is obviously a more labor-saving area with a high concentration of dispatches, but I don't know why, the other "seniors" picked and picked it up, leaving only this seemingly most prosperous place.

After dinner, Xu Mu, who was nestled on the sofa, talked about his doubts, and Feng Yuan replied while rummaging through the bookshelves in the guest room, "I guess, the guests in that area may be more difficult." ”

"Difficult?"

"Well, it's so difficult that people would rather run a little more than avoid it. Feng Yuan walked out with a shoebox, stuffed it into Xu Mu's arms, and touched his head, "Take it, this year's birthday gift." ”

In the box is a pair of all-red sneakers made of different materials, the red is warm and eye-catching, the toe part is red suede, the upper is basically a diamond-shaped design, using mesh material, the wings are covered with diamond-shaped silicone material, and even the head of the shoe is a brass-colored diamond-shaped column, the overall shape is both avant-garde and fashionable, and it is cool to mess.

"Brother, it must be very expensive, right?" Xu Mu looked at the shoes dumbfounded, and only after a while did he cautiously reach out and touch them.

"I didn't spend any money, I borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and what others asked me to do errands and sent it happened to be your number, so I left it. Let's see if you can wear it?"

Xu Mu looked at Feng Yuan suspiciously, asking someone to do something could still send the wrong shoe size, is that person stupid?

"He later gave me a pair of 45 pairs. Feng Yuan calmly raised his chin and pointed to the shoe cabinet at the door, "If you don't believe it, go over and take a look, my pair is in the shoe cabinet." ”

Xu Mu put down the shoebox and stepped to the door to open the shoe cabinet, and there were indeed a pair of identical sneakers inside. Only then did he put his mind at ease, put on his shoes and walked a few steps in the living room, not only comfortable, but also a kind of satisfaction that the soles of his shoes were full of wind and the world was under his feet.

"Do you like it?"

"I like it, I like it so much!" Xu Mu nodded hurriedly, rushed over and hugged Feng Yuan's shoulders coquettishly, "Brother, you are so good to me!"

"Nonsense!" Feng Yuan stretched out two fingers in disgust against Xu Mu's forehead rubbing on his shoulder, "You are not allowed to stick it on me without taking a bath!"

Xu Mu avoided his fingers and rubbed a few more times, and then rushed into the bathroom to take a bath before Feng Yuan dragged down his slippers and smoked him.

After undressing, he noticed that he had a reddish mark the size of a coin on his right ankle bone, shaped like a plum blossom. Xu Mu pressed it, it didn't hurt or itch, it was estimated that it was knocked, so he didn't care anymore, he turned on the faucet quickly, he made up his mind to go to bed early today, after all, tomorrow is the first day of work, and he must not be late.
