Chapter 50: A Familiar Stranger
Since Qin Feng went to college, he began to listen to many seniors and seniors who like to pretend to be forced: "Be a person in advance." Although it turns out that those naΓ―ve seniors and seniors don't know how to behave at all, this sentence itself is not nonsense.
After Qin Feng suffered a lot of losses in his previous life, he figured out what social rules were, according to his own understanding, it is nothing more than ten words: cheap is not too much to occupy, and nothing is done absolutely.
Get along with ordinary people, take advantage of a little less, and at the same time don't forget to let the other party's interests be evenly touched, not only will people not blame you for being greedy, but they may also really think you are a smart person in private.
Qin Feng could have allowed Aunt Juan to buy his kebabs at the original price, because the initiative of the promotion was completely his, and the reason why he didn't do it was because Qin Feng felt that he really didn't need to make so much more money every month, so he stiffened the good relationship he had finally established with Aunt Juan. Even though he might not be able to set up a stall in front of Aunt Juan anymore, he still didn't want Aunt Juan to think that he was not a good thing.
Humming "Red Dust Inn", which was not just the year it came out, Qin Feng returned to the community slightly out of tune, and at 11 o'clock, the small shop opposite the main entrance of the community was closed. After all, it was still cold at the beginning of February, and no one would be willing to blow the wind and freeze until midnight.
When Qin Feng pushed the car to the parking lot, there was only one light left in the parking lot that was still on, and when he saw Qin Feng coming back, the old janitor suddenly seemed to have solved his old constipation for many days, and said with a long sigh of relief: "Alas, you are finally back, and I will wait for you to close the door every day." β
"I'm sorry. Qin Feng smiled and pushed the cart in.
"It's not easy for you to do business, but can you come back a little earlier? The janitor said.
Qin Feng half-squatted on the ground, took out a canvas bag from the car, put the empty aluminum plates into it one by one, turned his back to the janitor and said: "Grandpa, it's not that I don't want to come back early, it's that point when people eat supper every day, and when the business is done, it's at least half past ten." β
"Do you have to walk for half an hour to get back?" asked the janitor.
"Almost, in the back alley of the 18th Middle School, when I was studying, I rode a bicycle for about ten minutes. After Qin Feng finished cleaning up the aluminum plate, he stood up and walked to the other side of the cart and took off the charcoal grill and oil pot.
The janitor stared at the car for a long time, and muttered softly: "The space occupied by your car is almost the size of a car, and I charge you money, which is the same price as someone else's bicycle." β
"Really?" Qin Feng smiled and replied half-truthfully, "Then from next month, you can charge a little more, even if you wait for my overtime pay." β
"I don't have a few dollars of overtime pay from you?" the janitor frowned, expressing his displeasure with Qin Feng's words.
"Just kidding, shouldn't you pay overtime, just treat it as parking fee?" Qin Feng immediately changed his words.
"That's pretty much it. The janitor retracted his fragile pride and watched Qin Feng walk out of the parking lot.
"Walking around like this every day, at least 2 hours are wasted on the road, it's really not worth it......" Qin Feng shook his head and walked upstairs, came to the front of the house, took out the key and pushed the door in, but Qin Jianguo's voice was not heard from inside as usual.
"Already asleep?" Qin Feng muttered in his heart, pressed the computer switch by the door, and then lightly put the canvas bag on the ground.
Taking out the contents of the canvas bag, Qin Feng cleaned it quietly, trying to avoid waking Qin Jianguo up.
Halfway through the wash, a familiar sound of footsteps suddenly sounded in the corridor, slowly coming from the bottom to the top.
The footsteps stopped in front of the door, Qin Feng opened the door, and the one standing outside the door was Qin Jianguo.
"Dad, why did you only come back now, I'm still sleeping in it!" Qin Feng said strangely.
Qin Jianguo's smile was hard to hide, and he said with a red face: "I went out with my friends." β
Qin Feng was a little surprised now, saying that since the divorce between Qin Jianguo and Qin Feng's unreliable mother in his previous life, Qin Feng has never seen Qin Jianguo go out with anyone at night in his impression, after all, it is not easy for a single man to take care of children, firstly, he can't spare time, and secondly, he doesn't have so much spare money, and Qin Jianguo's friends come to the house as guests, and the number of times is only a handful.
"With whom?" Qin Feng asked casually.
"Ah...... You don't know it. Qin Jianguo said and went into the bathroom.
"Which of your friends I don't know......" Qin Feng whispered, but didn't ask.
A few minutes later, after Qin Feng finished his work, he was going to take a shower and sleep, just took out the change of clothes, and walked to the door, when the phone in Qin Jianguo's room suddenly rang.
Qin Feng subconsciously turned his head to look, only to see Qin Jianguo as if he had clockwork, flying over with arrows, picking up the microphone, and then said softly: "Hey." β
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and a familiar voice came into Qin Jianguo's ears: "Is it Jianguo?"
Qin Jianguo's face was full of smiles, and he immediately stiffened.
He turned his head, covered the microphone with his hand, and asked Qin Feng in a low voice, "Your mother's call, do you answer it?"
Qin Feng walked to Qin Jianguo's side expressionlessly, put his clothes on the bed, took the microphone, and said calmly: "What's the matter?"
"Xiaofeng, I heard that you dropped out of school, right? Still setting up a stall behind the school?" Lu Liping's tone was filled with deep reproach.
"Yes. Qin Feng didn't bother to explain, and admitted very simply.
"I knew it wouldn't end well for him to take you!" Lu Liping said hatefully, that "he" naturally referred to Qin Jianguo.
The corners of Qin Feng's mouth curved, revealing a sneer. He hid a lot of things in his heart that he couldn't hear that he couldn't say, but he just restrained himself from saying them, so when the words came to his mouth, they became very cold: "What the hell is going on with you, don't say that I'm hanging." β
"It's nothing, I just want to ask you if you are willing to come to your Uncle Zhang to work, give you 4,000 yuan a month, including food, and learn something. Lu Liping said, and the Uncle Zhang in her mouth is her current husband Zhang Qidong.
"Forget it, I'm fine now. Qin Feng said, and without waiting for an answer from there, he hung up the phone directly.
"What did your mother say?" Qin Jianguo immediately asked.
Qin Feng smiled and said, "Said that I would work for Zhang Qidong." β
Qin Jianguo's face was expressionless.
Qin Feng shook his head and said, "After remarrying, I also called the son born to my ex-husband, you said that she is a person, this brain is really ...... There is no help. β
"Your mother is also concerned...... Qin Jianguo said in a low voice.
Qin Feng smiled, "Dad, don't say good things for her, I don't know better than you who she is, I see that you ran away with others when you don't have money, anyway, I won't call her mom anymore in my life." β
"She gave birth to you after all. β
"Yes, I gave birth to you first, and then I had another one with another man. β
Qin Jianguo had nothing to say, slapped his legs with both hands, got up and said, "Forget it, don't talk about this." Xiaofeng, I'll work overtime tomorrow, you buy less food at noon. β
"Overtime again?" Qin Feng, who had already stepped into the bathroom, retreated again, "Why are you all the time?"
"What's the solution, there's a new schedule in the unit, can I not go when it's my turn?" Qin Jianguo said helplessly.
Qin Feng asked: "It's not the factory director who is making things difficult for you this time, right?"
"Even if he makes things difficult for me, do you have a way to help me?" Qin Jianguo asked with a smile.
"Yes. Qin Feng didn't even think about it, and blurted out, "You resign, I'll give you a salary, I'm going to bully you in the future, you can relieve your anger by beating me directly." β
