Time passes slowly in the rhythm of firewood, rice, oil and salt.

Until the spring of the anti-theft lock at the door makes a crisp click.

Chen Feng, who had a keen sense of the five senses, instantly sensed it, ran to the door in an apron, and opened the metal door.

Chen Xiaoli, who was taking out the key and twisting it, was caught off guard and almost fell.

"Brother?!"

Chen Xiaoli looked at Chen Feng in surprise, shrugged his nose, smelled the aroma of food permeating the room, and couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"Brother! When did you come back? Are you cooking?! ”

In Chen Xiaoli's memory, his brother, who has always been a little taciturn, definitely can't cook. Although he has taken on the responsibility of taking care of his sister since he was a child, his cooking skills are surprisingly bad.

Until one day Chen Xiaoli grew up and took over the daily routine of cooking, his brother completely gave up this glorious job.

"You, you, you!! Don't waste your food! ”

Chen Xiaoli panicked, quickly took off the apron on Chen Feng's body, wrapped it around himself, and rushed to the kitchen like fighting a fire.

Chen Feng stood in front of the door with a bewildered expression, like a lonely old man after being robbed.

After a while.

Chen Xiaoli poked his head out of the kitchen with a frightened face and asked:

"Brother!! Are you all ready? ”

Chen Feng nodded blankly.

"Ahh It's a waste of food again!! Chen Xiaoli resolutely rushed to the old iron table and looked at the five dishes and one soup that had been placed on the table.

Rite Ji sauce elbow, barbecued pork shuangpin, butter roasted beef shank, red barbecue pieces, stir-fried water spinach, pumpkin soup with pork soup...... Plus a small plate of stuffed tofu......

"This ......"

Chen Xiaoli stared at the desktop suspiciously, as if he couldn't believe his own eyes.

She picked up the chopsticks on the table and wanted to pick up a piece to taste, but at the same time raised her head, looked at Chen Feng, and asked in an incredulous tone:

"This ...... Did you do it? ”

"Welcome to the tasting." Chen Feng smiled slightly and made a gesture of please.

Chen Xiaoli was skeptical, picked up a piece of stuffed tofu and took a bite. She chewed slowly, her eyes widened suddenly, and she immediately took another slice of water spinach and put it in her mouth, and her expression became very exciting.

"Brother!" Chen Xiaoli raised his head suddenly, looked at his brother, and said in surprise:

"Where did you get the money to call takeout?"

Chen Feng almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and argued loudly:

"Fine-grained, you can see, these are all home-cooked dishes. It's the old brother with one hand and one foot, picking, washing, frying and frying, carefully made!! ”

"Did you do it yourself?"

Chen Xiaoli's face was hesitant, and he tasted other dishes, which really didn't look like the taste of takeaway packaging, and couldn't help but look up in surprise again:

"Brother, when are you cooking so delicious!!"

"Humph......"

Chen Feng laughed a few times, walked to the table and sat down, slammed the chopsticks, and said proudly: "Sit down and eat, try the craftsmanship of being a brother!" ”

Chen Xiaoli was stunned for a moment, obediently added a bowl of rice to Chen Feng, took off his apron and put it away, and sat down at the table obediently.

"Eat, the dishes are almost cold, they are all your favorite food." Chen Feng sandwiched a few pieces of meat, put them in his sister's bowl, added another bowl of thick soup, and handed it to Chen Xiaoli.

Chen Xiaoli drank a few mouthfuls of soup and ate a few pieces of meat, his mouth was full, but his eyes were involuntarily warm, and he almost cried.

"Hey......" Chen Feng was at a loss, and quickly took out a tissue to wipe Chen Xiaoli's tears, "Isn't it delicious?" What are you crying for...... Don't cry......"

"Delicious!" Chen Xiaoli sobbed, snatched the tissue to wipe her tears, raised her head, showed a teary-eyed, slightly immature face, and said with a smile:

"My brother's cooking is delicious! This is the best dish I've ever had! ”

Chen Feng felt a warmth in his heart, stretched out his fingers, scratched Chen Xiaoli's nose, and said with a smile: "Eat more if it's delicious, this is all bought for you by my brother." You are not allowed to lose weight in the future, you must pay attention to nutrition, you know? ”

"Oh......" Chen Xiaoli shrunk his nose, nodded obediently, and immediately happily ate his favorite red barbecue.

"Brother......

Chen Xiaoli's mouth was bulging, his eyes were staring, and he still asked uneasily:

"These ingredients are quite expensive to buy, right?"

Chen Feng drank the soup and nodded casually:

"Well, it's okay. It took ...... today Well, it's almost 482 yuan......"

"What?"

Chen Xiaoli was so shocked that his chopsticks almost fell to the ground, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes again, wanting to say a few words. But after looking at the dishes on the table and my brother's happy expression, I had to sigh secretly.

"Brother, we don't have to be so extravagant in the future...... I don't like meat either. Chen Xiaoli whispered, picked up a piece of meat, and put it in his brother's bowl.

Chen Feng shook his head, chewed the slices of meat and said, "Also, you don't have to go to work tomorrow." I'll take you to upgrade the chip and then change jobs. ”

"What?"

Chen Xiaoli was frightened now, put down his chopsticks, and glared at Chen Feng.

"Brother, what are you talking about, my job is finally taking over my mother's class, how can I quit?"

"And!" Chen Xiaoli was surprised, "Tomorrow is not the day to upgrade the chip, right?" Besides, we haven't saved enough money! ”

Chen Feng swallowed the food in his mouth, smiled slightly, and picked up the gray paper bag from under the chair. Then, he took out all the money and piled it up next to Chen Xiaoli's bowl.

A bundle of red banknotes, 10,000 bundles, a total of 200,000 yuan.

Originally, Li Laozheng gave a task reward of 100,000 yuan, but in the end, it was 200,000 yuan given to Chen Feng, which may have an element of apology compensation.

"This ......"

Chen Xiaoli went from being surprised to being dazed, from being dazed to being panicked, stood up abruptly, and said a little helplessly:

"Brother, where did this come from? What the hell are you doing? Although our family is poor, we must not sin! ”

"Sister, ......" Chen Feng didn't expect to cause such a strong reaction, so he quickly stood up and comforted Chen Xiaoli.

"Sit down first, I'll explain to you, it's legal income! What do you think of your brother......

Chen Feng explained, while taking out the shield emblem and a thin mobile phone handed over to him by Han Bin, representing special channel communication, and placed them on the desktop.

"Now, you can see clearly, this is my brother's new job. All income is legitimate, don't think about it. ”

Chen Xiaoli picked up the coat of arms and looked at it, "The Elysium Free State Silver is under the Federal Intelligence and Crime Bureau", she muttered to herself, and pressed her phone again, and a line of small words appeared on the light screen, "Federal Intelligence and Crime Investigation Bureau......

As Chen Xiaoli, who often works outside and has been in contact with many levels, he can be recognized at a glance, these are all true proofs, and it is impossible to be fake.

"This ......" she couldn't help but look up in surprise and looked at Chen Feng, "Brother! You've got a new job! It's incredible, isn't it? ”

"You can rest assured now!" Chen Feng smiled, asked Chen Xiaoli to sit down, and continued to explain:

"Because of my father's help, I got to know several government officials. Then, because I had a talent for language translation, I was hired as a document specialist and got a new job. ”

"Ah, that's great!" When Chen Xiaoli heard his father's name, he was finally relieved, and couldn't help but touch his chest with his hand, and said in surprise:

"Brother, it's great that you finally don't have to be a messenger!"

She smiled and waved her small fist tightly, and then asked cautiously, "How's the salary?" ”

"Well, no less than 15,000 yuan per month."

Chen Feng looked at his sister with a smile, and then nodded affirmatively, "And your new job has also been arranged, you are responsible for taking care of your father's antique shop, and you don't have to be a cleaner anymore." ”

"Huh!?" Chen Xiaoli opened his mouth wide in surprise and surprise.

............

The early morning light and shadow fall on the high-rise buildings.

A huge steel sign hangs high with a large black and solemn letter: "Yindu Cross District Science and Technology Office".

A meandering line lined up in front of the door of the Science and Technology Hall. These people all came early to prepare to be the first to enter the office to upgrade the citizen chip.

Chen Xiaoli, who had experienced a night of nervousness and excitement, stood in the queue in a restrained manner, still unable to believe that he could one day stand here waiting to upgrade the citizen chip.

"Brother, are you sure you don't have to come by date?" Chen Xiaoli lowered his voice and leaned in front of Chen Feng beside him and asked.

"My work card shield can be done on a special basis, don't worry." Chen Feng also whispered, calming his sister's flustered mood.

Chen Xiaoli blinked happily and continued to stand in the line with anticipation.

Tick knock!

A melodious electronic sound sounded, followed by the sound of an announcement:

"Residents, please note that the office will be open immediately, please follow the order, enter in turn, and handle chip upgrades and consulting services."

In the winding procession, there were immediately cheers.

Upgrading the citizen chip means being recognized by the government and allowing the installation of mechanical prosthetics, expanding the convenience functions of the chip, and having higher-end chip rights, and truly becoming a protected federal citizen.

After more than three hours of suffering, as the team gradually moved forward, it was finally Chen Xiaoli and Chen Feng's turn to enter.

"Let's go." Chen Feng took Chen Xiaoli's hand and calmly stepped into the office.

It is a service area similar to an airport clearance inspection, with a row of up to 10 counters spreading. Behind each counter are flashing high-tech instruments and uniformed guards with loaded guns.

"Please show me your personal chip."

The indifferent worker sitting behind the counter held up a scanner.

Chen Feng took Chen Xiaoli and sent him to the front of the stage.

Chen Xiaoli crossed his ears nervously.

Tick, the sound of scanning sounds.

"The date is invalid! Can't upgrade! ”

The clerk shook his head indifferently, then looked sideways, "Go away, next!" ”

Chen Xiaoli looked back at Chen Feng in panic.

Chen Feng smiled and signaled that his sister didn't need to worry, and was about to show her shield emblem.

Suddenly, two tough men behind him pushed Chen Xiaoli away, and said scoldingly: "Get away, it's our turn!" ”
