Different societies and different groups of people have different sources of trust.

Older generations are more trusting of blood ties, so relatives are a crucial interpersonal relationship. No matter what the seven aunts and eight aunts are, you have to deal with them and take care of them, and I think it's a natural thing, because when you have something, only these people have a moral obligation to help each other.

In ancient times, this was called "clan".

Young people don't believe in this set very much, but feel that the ideological differences between relatives are too big to talk about, and the kind of unclear economic exchanges cannot be accepted, so this relationship is slowly becoming more and more tangible.

As a result, the form of the family has become smaller.

Among the "outsiders", like Lin Yi, who has studied and lived in school since childhood, the deepest feelings and the most trusting of each other are of course classmates. In addition to the classmates who have experienced a ten-year cold window together, a concept called "alumni" can also be derived.

As long as everyone graduated from the same school, they can sign up for group heating, which is also very common in some specific industries.

For the so-called "rural society" that is not so thoroughly urbanized, there is another layer of relationship that can also be very intimate:

Township Party.

Han Gaozu beheaded the White Snake Uprising, exterminated the tyrannical Qin, and Ping Xiangyu relied on the so-called abundant old people.

Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, swept away the heroes and founded the country, relying on the local Huaixi heroes.

Speaking of modern times, the reason why there is such a phenomenon as "Tonglu Gang" is also because the villagers are more familiar with each other and take care of each other.

In short, the express delivery industry is not an isolated case, and it is not uncommon for people from the same place to control almost the entire industry in China.

Lin Yi is planning to put a little bit on this.

"I'm from Lin'an, when I used to study in Lin'an Middle School, many of my classmates' hometowns were Tonglu, do you remember the classmate who went with me on the first day? He is. ”

Yes, Lin Yi remembered that although Zhang Xiaochuan went to school in Lin'an City since he was a child, he counted his hometown in Tonglu, so he specially made an appointment with this little fellow today to go over to play the emotional card.

The boss was really interested: "Young, where is his home?" ”

Of course, Lin Yi didn't know that much, he just said, "Uncle Chen, I will take him to visit you again today." ”

This time he didn't say anything harsh, but obviously this Boss Chen was not so forgetful, and he still remembered that Lin Yi said yesterday that this was the last time he went to look for him.

This encounter in the small restaurant was not premeditated, it was just an accident, when Lin Yi and the others came, Boss Chen had already eaten about the same, and he left first after a simple hello.

Later that day, Lin Yi really took Zhang Xiaochuan to the appointment, and this time Boss Chen did not ask him about whether he was rich or not, but chatted with Zhang Xiaochuan about his hometown.

Zhang Xiaochuan actually grew up in Lin'an City since he was a child, but there are some relatives of the older generation in his hometown, and he will go back and walk around every year during the Chinese New Year, and he is not so familiar with it, he can understand the hometown dialect but can't speak too much.

That's enough.

For a person who has been away from home all year round, it is a spontaneous joy to hear a familiar country sound.

What's more, the place of a county is so big, familiar people can basically locate the village, and then it is easy to talk about who in our village married to you, it turns out to be a certain aunt you have known since childhood......

This intimacy naturally comes out.

The two of them chatted for a long time, but Lin Yi patiently did not interrupt, but felt that there should be a drama today.

Sure enough, after they finished chatting, this Boss Chen turned to Lin Yi, and didn't let him continue to bother talking: "I know your intentions, as the saying goes, things are only three, for the sake of your sincerity and the face of my little fellow today, I agreed to this matter." ”

He's a cheerful person.

Of course, Boss Chen didn't take money when he met his fellow countrymen, but Lin Yi had discussed twice before and laid the groundwork for him that he would never pay, and he knew that if he didn't agree, it would be nothing more than a shot in two.

In this way, he has nothing to lose, but he has not made anything, it is just the same as before.

For him, this is something that can be done or not depending on the mood, but today he happened to be quite happy to see Zhang Xiaochuan chatting, so he agreed to come down smoothly.

At least next time in the circle of fellow villagers, you can blow yourself to "promote the backwards".

Zhang Xiaochuan was also very happy, not only because he helped Lin Yi, but also because he didn't expect to brush the face of his fellow villagers in Yangcheng and propose to invite guests to dinner.

Lin Yi immediately said: "You have already helped me a lot when I came to Yangcheng Brother Yi this time, and Uncle Chen is very grateful for agreeing to me this time, of course, I should have come to invite you two." ”

Boss Chen laughed and interrupted loudly: "What are you two juniors fighting for there, I let two college students from the same township invite me to dinner at this age, and I will make others laugh when I say it!" ”

The reason why there are two is because Lin Yi, as a native of Lin'an, can also be regarded as a fellow villager in Lingnan, thousands of miles away.

So in the final result, Lin Yi not only won this Boss Chen, but even got a meal for free.

Of course, this meal is not so delicious, this Boss Chen is obviously the kind of character who is more temperamental, and he does not drink less wine at the banquet.

When he was drunk, Zhang Xiaochuan asked drunken eyes: "Uncle Chen, how did you get this finger?" I saw it last time, and I was too embarrassed to ask. ”

"Huh this?"

Boss Chen himself showed the little thumb of his left hand, which was only half amputated, and showed them to the two of them, "This matter is a long story." ”

He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, then lit one and stuffed it into his mouth, and took a few puffs before saying:

"I can usually blow this finger for a night, but today's meal, you children of your age don't need to know."

Although he did not answer Zhang Xiaochuan's question, his conversation was very strong, and it was a good time to point out the country after drinking:

"I always hear others say in other places that our Zhijiang people are born to do business or something, don't believe this, it's actually all bullshit!"

"No one is born with anything, and we have traveled thousands of miles to this unfamiliar place, just to earn some money?"

"If you have endured enough hardships and paid enough tuition, you will naturally be able to do it."

"As the old saying goes, when you are young, you come out to see the world, that is called breaking the rivers and lakes, why is it called breaking into the rivers and lakes? A little bump is nothing, my half finger is where it goes. ”

"You've caught up with a good time, the business of the takeaway website you just talked about, I can't understand it in a daze. But your business is good, really, you see that you are also dressed like a college student. ”

"How nice is that? Do business in a proper manner, and make a fortune with harmony. ”

To tell the truth, this Boss Chen's dignity is not flattering, his skin is dark and his body is fat, and he is a typical "greasy middle-aged" in the mouth of the petty bourgeoisie later. At this time, he was drunk and drunk, and his speech was endless.

However, Lin Yi and Zhang Xiaochuan both had an illusion, at this moment he was sitting there smoking a cigarette, and his eyes were melancholy like Tony Leung.
