Rekindle 2012

Chapter 191 Homecoming
Lunar calendar, the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month.

All employees in Office 104 of East Lake Building are on holiday.

Li Chenyang did not leave any personnel on duty. Even Wei Hu, who planned to stay in the company as a guard, was driven back by him on the phone.

The website of Power Leveling Home has announced the holiday during the Spring Festival. During this period, even the customer service is online casually.

However, the website is still running normally, power leveling, placing orders, etc. are still going on normally. If the website encounters any problems, Li Chenyang and Xu Qing can deal with them.

The Taobao store has also stopped. There is nothing we can do about it, because all couriers are on holiday, and even if there is an order, there is no one to help them deliver it.

For the DM team, after playing in the regional competition, they also returned home. They had the longest vacation, so they only had to wait until after the Lantern Festival to come back and play the finals.

The quotas for the current professional league have basically been determined. The winning teams from several regions, as long as they do not perform too poorly in the finals and have the lowest ranking, will basically be included in the first LOL professional league.This spot is hard-earned for many teams, but the DM team got it quite easily.

Snail takeout has also come to a standstill. During the winter vacation, snail takeout has expanded rapidly and has spread throughout Nannan University Town.

No matter who comes over this piece of land in the future, within five years, unless Snail Takeout transfers its operating rights, no one will be able to watch.

That five-year exclusive contract was no joke... No one expected that this seemingly insignificant clause was carefully designed by Li Chenyang and was what he valued most.It doesn't matter if he can't beat others, nor is he afraid of vicious competition. As long as he develops his territory as quickly as possible, relying on this contract, he can remain motionless and maintain his own pure land in the fierce competition.

In the 104 office, Wei Hu walked out of the warehouse. After finishing the inventory of the company's goods, he could go home.

Today he specially put on new clothes.

This down jacket cost him more than 800 yuan. It was the most expensive piece of clothing he had ever worn since he was a child.

"done?"

Wei Jun had been waiting outside for a long time.

"Ah."

Wei Hu nodded.

Yin Xuefeng on the side said: "Are you also planning to go home now? Do you want me to take you to the train station?"

"Forget it, with your driving skills, it's better not to run around in the city."

Wei Jun waved his hand quickly.

Wei Hu chuckled and said, "Let's forget it. We're not on the way either. You guys are going back today too?"

"Yeah, just wait for Lao Jin and leave in a while."

"Take the highway?"

"Let's take the national highway. We all just got our driver's licenses. It would be bad if we get checked on the expressway."

"It's okay, basically I won't check."

"It's better to take the national highway. I heard that there are more people on the highway during holidays. Although the national highway and provincial highway are slower, there are still fewer cars."

"Then you should be careful. Don't come here next year with missing arms or legs. It won't be good."

"You brat, you didn't say anything nice."

Yin Xuefeng cursed and urged Jin Xin, who was packing his backpack, "Old Jin, hurry up, we won't be able to get back until dark."

"almost ready."

Jin Xin checked his backpack and took back all the things he needed to take. A stack of cash was buried under his clothes.

"Brother Xu, let's go first. See you later in the year."

"Goodbye."

A group of people left. Only Xu Qing remained in the company. There was no one in his family, so he might as well stay in the company and go back tomorrow on New Year's Eve.

It's just that everyone is gone, and my heart is inevitably empty.

Xu Qing stood up and sent them outside the door.

"Be careful on the road."

"goodbye!"

……

The north wind howled, and a layer of fog formed on the car window glass.

Jin Xin drove the car carefully, the speed was very slow, the fuel gauge showed only 45 mph, Yin Xuefeng was sitting in the passenger seat, searching with an iPhone.

“How do I get rid of the fog on my car windows?”

There were a lot of search results, but unfortunately the Internet speed was not very good, so he couldn't click on many answers for a long time.

"Have you found it?"

Jin Xin was a little panicked.

The windows in front of the car were becoming more and more foggy. They had wiped them several times, but to no avail...

"What a crappy car, there's so much fog."

Yin Xuefeng cursed, and then he finally entered the web page. He looked at it and said, "It says you can open the window and try."

"If you open the window, you won't freeze to death."

Jin Xin thought the answer was a bit crazy. It was already below freezing outside. If I didn't drive with the window open, my hands would freeze immediately.

"Wait a minute, there is another way. Just point the warm air at the window."

Yin Xuefeng said again.

"Warm air, wait, where is the warm air?"

"It should be the air conditioner. Is our air conditioner turned on?"

"I don't know, how to open it?"

"Just click it."

"Should the AC be turned on?"

"Try it."

"Damn, why is it the cold wind?"

……

The two had no choice but to park the car on the side of the road. After struggling for a long time, they finally turned out the heat. They were both glad that they did not take the highway today, otherwise they would have been in big trouble.

The hot wind blew in the direction of the front windshield. After a while, all the fog on the car window dissipated...

"Damn, it's really difficult. There's so much knowledge in one car."

Jin Xin complained.

Yin Xuefeng was in a good mood. He said: "It's okay, it's okay. We are both novices, so it's normal. Now we've learned a trick. We'll know how to deal with it next time. By the way, you're quite stable when driving."

"It's just that there's a lot of horn noise in the back." Jin Xin whispered.

"It's okay, don't worry about them."

"You won't get beaten."

"No, I put a big internship sign on the back of our car. They should understand us when they see it."

"No wonder..."

After Li Chenyang bought a car, they all had the idea of ​​buying a car and signed up to take the driver's license test together. They were lucky and passed in just over a month. After getting the driver's license, they jointly bought a car.

The car was a Volkswagen Lavida. It cost a total of 12 yuan, of which Jin Xin paid 4 yuan and Yin Xuefeng paid [-] yuan. The car was registered in Jin Xin’s name. In other words, the [-] yuan was lent by Yin Xuefeng to Jin Xin. , but the car is temporarily used by two people.

"I'll drive for a while and let you drive instead."

"also."

"Are you sure you want me to drive the car home?"

"Are you sure? I have a car at home, okay? A Lavida is nothing. Your family will be happy if you buy a car."

"Okay, then I'll pay you back the remaining money as soon as possible."

"We brothers, it's too late to talk about this."

The car was rickety, and it took about ten hours to reach Hubei Province from morning to afternoon. Jin Xin sent Yin Xuefeng home first, and then drove back.

His home is in a small village in Dawu County, Xiaogan.

When he came back, it was already dusk. Looking at the familiar scenes in his hometown, Jin Xin felt a little excited. A whole year had passed since last winter vacation, and this was his first time going home.

After finding a good job and buying a car, it can be considered a homecoming.

The car drove in the village for a while and stopped in front of a bungalow. The ground at the door was still paved with small stones and had not been hardened in any way.

The car just stopped.

Several middle-aged women sitting at the door stood up curiously.

"Fengxia, is there a visitor at your house?"

"I don't know, he shouldn't be a guest of my house."

"Then why is it parked in front of your house? This car is still new."

"It seems to be a Volkswagen. My brother-in-law's son also bought this car."

At this time, Jin Xin opened the car door and walked out.Several people were surprised.

"Fengxia, isn't this your son? Did he buy a car?"

"Mom, I'm back. Second aunt and you are here too."

Jin Xin got out of the car and said hello, and only then did the others confirm that they had seen it right.

"Xiao Jin, you are back. Your mother has been waiting for you for a long time. Is this your car?"

an aunt asked in surprise.

They knew that Jin Xin just graduated this year. Although his family boasted that his salary was very high, tens of thousands a month, few people believed it. After all, even college students rarely get more than 1 just after graduation.

Jin Xin took out his luggage and a few newly bought clothes from the trunk, and said with a smile: "Yes."

"It's amazing. I bought a car right after I graduated. How much does it cost?"

"Fortunately, it's only about [-]..."

"A hundred thousand or so is not a lot. You have just graduated and you have saved so much money."

"Fortunately, the salary is higher and the main boss treats me well."

Jin Xin bought a car just to show off, and Jin Xin has nothing to be embarrassed about. Their family is relatively poor and they are often looked down upon by other people in the village. Now they come back just to look good.

After greeting other elders, Jin Xin took out a down jacket from the bag.

"Mom, I brought you a down jacket. You try it on and see if it fits you."

"There are new clothes at home, why do you buy them? It's a waste of money..."

Jin Xin's mother is an out-and-out rural woman, looking cheerful and smiling from ear to ear.

When her son had just graduated, she hung up in a hurry every time she called her. She could tell that her son's job search was not going very smoothly, but she didn't expect that a few months later, he would join a big company and not only earn a salary of [-] yuan a month. [-], and I bought a car in just half a year.

Of the dozens of families in their village, only two or three houses have bought cars.

"These are all goods purchased by our company at cost price. Although the price tag is high, the price is actually very cheap..."

Jin Xin took off his mother's jacket and put on a down jacket to try on.

The size of the down jacket is just right.

"Not bad, not bad, just right."

The aunt next to her praised her.

Another person said: "Xiao Jin is still filial. He just graduated from college and bought such nice clothes for his mother."

Jin Xin's mother was so happy that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear when she heard these words of praise for her son.

"I'll get a mirror and take a look."

"No, just watch it on your phone."

Jin Xin turned on the camera of his mobile phone and clicked on the front camera. Before going home, he specially changed his mobile phone...from the previous feature phone to the current smart phone.

The image of Jin Xin's mother wearing a down jacket appeared on the phone screen.

She said: "It's a bit sexy."

"It's just right. It suits you very well. Mom, don't dress so old-fashioned in the future."

Jin Xin smiled and saw his mother was about to change her clothes, so he quickly stopped her.

"Take it off for what?"

"This dress looks good. I'll save it for visiting relatives. What should I do if it gets dirty now?"

"It's okay, I bought two pieces for you, one for you to wear, and one for my dad."

"Spending money indiscriminately..."

There were only a few dozen families in the village, and they were not far apart. Knowing that Jin Xin was back for the New Year, people soon came to join in the fun.

Looking at the newly bought car, some peers said with envy: "Lao Jin, it's better to go to college. I bought a car six months after graduation."

These people are all childhood friends. Some of them have not finished junior high school, and the rest are high school dropouts. They usually go out to work together. Jin Xin used to go home during the Chinese New Year. Jin Xin still envied them. He was very poor in school, even though During the Chinese New Year, they didn’t have any money in their pockets. When they came back during the Chinese New Year, they spent dozens or hundreds of dollars playing cards. Sometimes the money was worth as much as his monthly living expenses.

But now, the mood is completely different. Jin Xin knows that their wages are not high and they usually work very hard, so they can relax a little during the New Year.My current monthly salary can match that of a small group of them.

He smiled and said, "It's just for the public, and it's not expensive."

"Your mother said you can earn more than 1 yuan a month in the company?"

"Well, it used to be this much, but now it's increased a bit, it's [-] a month."

Jin Xin took a pack of cigarettes from home and would give one to anyone who came over.

"It's amazing. When I work in Zhejiang Province, it only costs [-] yuan a month. Your cousin's salary is even less, only [-] yuan... You've been paying us half a year a month."

"I'm just lucky. I couldn't find a good job for a long time, but then I met a good boss."

Jin Xin has never forgotten the kindness of his boss.

If the boss hadn't found him, he would probably be about the same as other people now, with a salary of three to four thousand at most, and maybe he wouldn't be able to find a job.

If that were the case, just come back during the Chinese New Year and not be laughed at by others. How could we be as prosperous as we are now...

"Lao Jin, do you still need someone there?"

a playmate asked.

"Lao Jin's company is a big company, and they definitely all need college students. Even if they are short of people, they won't want you." Another person said.

However, others still looked at Jin Xin, expecting this childhood friend to take them to make money together.

If academic qualifications are required, it is definitely not possible. There are only two college students in their village so far, and the other one has not graduated yet.

Regarding this question, Jin Xin had already thought about how to answer it. He said without thinking: "There is definitely no shortage of people to do my job, and you can't do it, but there are other jobs. If you want to do it, I can still do it." Let me introduce to you..."

Upon hearing this, someone asked in surprise: "What kind of job is it? How much can you earn in a month?"

"In our company, we are still recruiting people for the food delivery department, just to help people deliver food."

"Delivery. I've done it in a restaurant before. The boss was very shady and he couldn't make any money." When some people heard that this was the job, they immediately lost interest.

Jin Xin said: "It's different. We are a takeout platform. We don't deliver to a certain restaurant, but to all restaurants near the entire university town. We also enjoy the treatment of our company, which is definitely better than what you said." Many, the full-time delivery people in our company can basically earn seven to eight thousand a month, and some can earn less than five or six thousand..."

"It's so high."

Those who were not interested before were immediately pleasantly surprised when they heard about the salary.

Some of them can only earn more than 3000 yuan a month when they work in the factory. It is not easy to find a job. If they deliver food, they can earn [-] to [-] yuan a month, which is very comfortable.

"Lao Jin can earn [-] yuan a month, but he still cheated you with a salary of several thousand yuan."

"Yes, I'm interested in Lao Jin's job."

Jin Xin just smiled and said, "If you want to go together, please contact me after the New Year and you can go there with me."

"Lao Jin, I will go out with you after the new year."

Someone said immediately.

"Don't you mind delivering food?"

"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it, as long as you can make money."

"I'm going too, Lao Jin, don't forget me." Another person said.

"Can your second master go?"

An old man also came to join in the fun.

Upon hearing this, everyone else laughed. Jin Xin shook his head and said: "Delivering food requires quick hands and feet, and young people are needed. The second master used to have to go through a special channel. I don't have that much face."

A group of people chatted at the door for a long time. It wasn't until Jin Xin's father came back from work that the others dispersed. The pack of cigarettes in Jin Xin's hand was also finished.

A smile appeared on his face.

During the winter vacation, Snail Takeout expanded many stores. After the New Year, they just needed a group of full-time takeaways. He brought his fellow villagers there, which not only avoided trouble, but also helped the company. After all, people who come from rural areas work hard. They all work very hard and won't be lazy when delivering food.It is also good for them. They usually earn two to three thousand a month, but now they have doubled, and they have also received favors, killing three birds with one stone.

Jin Xin bought a car and went home, and found a job for the young people in the village. Word spread quickly. When Jin Xin's parents went out, there were obviously many more people saying hello...

This is how it is in rural areas, only if you have money can you be looked down upon by others.

The two brothers Wei Hu and Wei Jun also became popular when they returned home.

Wei Hu, who went out to work when he just came of age, bought two big items, a refrigerator and a washing machine, and spent 3 yuan to renovate the bungalow at home. This made many people around him know that they had made money. Money, because Wei Hu was also brought out by Wei Jun, someone asked Wei Jun to take him out to work. Wei Jun selected two or three honest and reliable people and planned to take them out together next year.

……

In a blink of an eye, it’s the annual New Year’s Eve.

After a simple lunch, Li Chenyang and his father posted couplets together.

Since Li Chenyang’s grandma passed away two years ago and was still within the three-year mourning period, according to the custom of his hometown, their family’s couplets are different from others. They are not red but yellow, and the door paintings are also the same. yellow color.

The two of them worked for more than an hour before they posted the couplets inside and outside the house. They even didn’t forget the front house in Xinjie. Li Chenyang rode a battery car there with his father and posted the same large couplets on both sides of the rolling shutter door. Spring couplets.

The sound of firecrackers in the town was heard one after another, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, a smell that Li Chenyang had not smelled for a long time.
