Chapter 7: An Independent Life
Around 11 o'clock, the number of calls for takeout gradually increased, and after accumulating about 20 takeaways, I started delivering my first takeout on an electric car.
After I came to the girl's dormitory building to confirm that the address was correct, I pinched my throat and began to "howl" "306 takeout, 306 takeout ........"
A group of girls passing by pointed at me, I didn't care at all, I didn't bear what kind of eyes I had when I was a child when I set up a stall before, and I had been trained at the bottom of the society, and I had achieved everything.
I shouted "306 takeaway ......." again, and finally two girls in pajamas opened the dormitory door, waved to me, and waited, and then "kicked" and ran down the stairs.
The two of them came up to me, and I took out the takeaway from the car crate and handed it to them: "A total of 24 yuan." ”
"Brother takeaway, you're dressed so fashionably, you don't look like a takeaway at all!" Two girls said to me.
I smiled and took out 6 yuan change from the bag hanging on my waist and handed it to them, and looked at myself again, this set of clothes on my body was a set of British-style brand clothes that Shen Man gave me on my birthday...... If you tie it, it really doesn't look like a food delivery.
"Welcome to continue eating the rice bowl from our fat stall next time." I said to the two girls.
"Yes, yes, takeaway brother, don't worry, we will all eat the rice bowl of the fat stall in the future...... Who made you the trendiest and most handsome in the delivery of food! ”
I smiled helplessly, this little girl now really dares to say and do anything! I kind of feel like I'm being "molested"!
.......
It took me 10 minutes to deliver all 20 takeaways, and then I rode an electric car outside the school, and I guess Xiao Min should also go to the fat stall to help at this time.
Sure enough, when I arrived at the fat stall, Xiao Min was helping someone serve dishes.
I parked the car, walked to the store, and came to Xiaomin's side: "Hi, girl, we meet again!" ”
Xiao Min glanced at me, ignored me, put the plate down in front of the customer, and stood at the kitchen door, waiting for He Fei's next wave of prepared rice bowls.
I don't care, this matter has to be grinded slowly, and for a while, it is absolutely impossible for her to let go of me.
"Xiao Zhang, come here, there are still 26 takeaways here, you can deliver them again." When the fat sister-in-law saw me coming back, she waved to me with a ballpoint pen in her hand.
"It's coming!" I said and looked at Xiaomin, and sure enough, seeing a surprised look on her face, I made an O gesture to her, smiled again, and then walked towards the fat sister-in-law.
The fat sister-in-law handed me the packaged takeaway, and I walked past Xiao Min with the takeaway: "Xiao Min, we will be colleagues in the future, as a senior, you have to give more guidance to Uncle Xiao!" ”
Xiao Min turned her head unexpectedly, still ignoring me, I smiled, walked to the fat sister-in-law, and took the heavy takeaway box she handed over.
........
In fact, even a delivery boy is not an easy job, but now it is autumn, and if it is such extreme weather as winter and summer, it is simply not life-threatening.
By the time I finished delivering the 26 takeaways, my mouth was dry, I felt like I was dying, and my throat was getting hoarse from hissing...... When I got back to the store, I immediately filled myself with a glass of water and drank it all!
Now that the rush hour has passed, I found a vacant seat and sat down, looking around but Xiao Min was no longer visible, and I didn't know if she was deliberately avoiding me, or if it was time for class.
The fat sister-in-law counted the money I gave her, and after taking inventory, she began to check the call records of her mobile phone, and found that I didn't make a call, and nodded with satisfaction, which was regarded as a recognition of my first day's work, so I finally received a kung pao chicken rice bowl.
........
I was watching TV and eating at the same time, but I didn't want the phone to ring again at this time, it was almost a little faster, and someone ordered takeout, probably a student with an extremely irregular diet.
I answered the phone: "Hey, hello, fat man, what can I eat?" ”
"A tomato and egg rice bowl, thank you!" A nice and gentle female voice came from the other end of the phone.
I instantly judged that this was Ye Yiyi's voice, and I have a strong sense of human voice, which is why I often answer the phone without looking at the number.
"Okay, I'll deliver it right away, is there anything else you need?" I said in a normal tone.
"No need, thank you."
.......
I told He Fei to make a tomato rice bowl, and he made it in five minutes, I took the rice bowl and prepared to leave, after thinking about it, I turned back to the fat sister-in-law and said, "The fat sister-in-law gave me a can of herbal tea." ”
The fat sister-in-law glanced at me and said, "10 yuan a day, what kind of herbal tea to drink, there is a water dispenser over there......."
"I don't want you to invite me, can't I give you money?" I said as I pulled out 10 dollars from my wallet and handed it to her.
"That's pretty much it." The fat sister-in-law took my money and gave me change of 6 yuan and five cents, and then took a can of herbal tea and handed it to me.
.......
I rushed to the Normal University with herbal tea and a boxed lunch, found the teacher's lounge, knocked on the door, and there was a sound of the door opening.
Seeing me standing at the door with a boxed lunch, Ye Yiyi looked at me in surprise: "Zhang Yixi......?" ”
"What's the matter, with a different identity, Mr. Ye doesn't know me anymore?" As I spoke, I handed her the lunch box in my hand.
"Do you work in a fat stall?"
"Uh-huh."
Ye Yiyi shook her head and smiled: "It's hard to imagine...... Are you going to come in and sit down? ”
"I'm a little tired after climbing the fifth floor, let's rest for a while." I said and walked into the lounge, in fact, I wanted to ask her about Xiaomin.
Ye Yiyi nodded, took the door, and walked into the house with me.
I sat on the bed while she faced me, sitting in a chair and eating.
"Hey, please drink herbal tea, the weather is dry, and it's easy to get angry!" I said as I handed her the herbal tea.
"You drink it yourself, I'll just drink plain water."
"It's what I brought you to drink."
"Ah, you heard me on the phone?" Ye Yiyi asked a little surprised.
"Or what do you think! I keep your voice in mind, I'm not as noble as you! I laughed and teased Ye Wuyi.
"That's not necessarily, your voice is a little hoarse today, not as clear as yesterday."
"That's right."
........
"Teacher Ye, have you talked to Xiao Min?"
Ye Yiyi made an apologetic expression and said, "I didn't take their class today, and I couldn't meet her." ”
"Oh......" I replied, a little disappointed.
After being silent for a while, I said to Ye Yiyi again: "Teacher Ye, you eat first, I have to go." ”
"Zhang Yixi, you make me feel like you're taking advantage of me." Ye Yiyi said to me.
"Why did Mr. Ye say that?"
"I'm going to leave after asking Xiaomin, the purpose is too strong!" Ye Yiyi sighed.
I thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be a little ....... Then let's talk about another five dollars! ”
Ye Yiyi smiled and continued to say to me, "I'm curious about why you deliver takeaways...... I don't think you're that simple person. ”
"I don't know how you define simple." I answered.
Ye Yiyi looked at me and sighed: "Your dress, conversation and temperament are obviously experienced in society, I mean high-end society, and the girl who is with you, it's not that simple, what is the reason why you are here?" I think it's not just because of Min. ”
My mind was reminded of the battle that had cost me a lot at Buick, the devastation that had devastated the store....... Angel's hatred is gone! Assuming I hadn't been defeated at Buick, what would be the situation now, and if I hadn't had that damn batch of cosmetics, maybe I would have set up my own company, and if I hadn't chosen to go to Japan with Shen Man in the first place, it would have been many times better than living here...... Oh, yes! Why did I end up here?
"I want to live an independent life....... I may not have been so independent. "I said to Ye Yiyi for a long time.
Ye Yiyi looked at me with some incomprehension, but I didn't want to explain so much: "Teacher Ye, I really have to go, there may be takeaway to deliver, let's talk again if we have a chance another day." ”
"Okay...... Thank you for the herbal tea! ”
