God said I would meet you

Zhang Xinli seemed to be stunned for a while, and after a few seconds, he quickly reached out to pinch the cigarette, and said, "Why are you..." He said, "Why are you here?"

Lin Jinyu said, "Come and play."

"Why are you……"

Lin Jinyu knew what Zhang Xinli was surprised about, he said, "Coincidence." He said, "There is a square on this road, which is very suitable for playing board... I said, where can you go on a good weekend if you are not at home or going out with me? Feelings Make extra money here."

"I..." Zhang Xinli didn't seem to know what to say, and in the end he only said, "Only one day a week is allowed here, and it's still a day shift."

Lin Jinyu didn't worry too much about other things, but asked, "Are you off work?"

Zhang Xinli said: "There is still a while, but it's almost there, just send the text message at noon."

Just as they were talking, someone inside greeted them and said that the numbers were all numbered and they went in to do things. Others got up one after another, and Zhang Xinli also made gestures to get up.

Lin Jinyu stretched out his hand to pull him, but Zhang Xinli didn't reach out. He said, "My hands are dirty."

Express delivery is like this. Large and small packages have been rolled on the ground, thrown in the carriage, and stepped on by unknown pairs of shoes. Zhang Xinli not only has to move them around, but also has to sort and number them. His hands were dirty in the dust.

"Where are so many nonsense?" Lin Jinyu went straight over, pulled him up without any explanation, and said without caring about the black and gray dirt in his palm, "Hurry up, I'll wait for you to have dinner together."

The weather still required a coat, but Zhang Xinli was only wearing a single coat, and there was still sweat on his neck.He stood up and looked at Lin Jinyu in front of him, but he didn't answer. He just said, "I have to come in the afternoon. I can't go too far. There is nothing good to eat around here except fast food restaurants. Let's eat first."

He knew that Lin Jinyu ate too much takeaway during the winter vacation, and he didn't like the fast food fried in small roadside shops.

Lin Jinyu asked, "Are you coming this afternoon?"

"Ah."

The express station has two peaks a day. The morning peak has passed, but the afternoon wave has not yet arrived. It is all physical work to pack the car until five or six o'clock.At this point, the work is far from over.

Lin Jinyu asked, "What time is it?"

Zhang Xinli said: "The courier station is always full of people, and I will be back after a casual meal."

He was just a part-time temporary worker, which meant that Zhang Xinli had to do more work with less money than others on this day.

Lin Jinyu didn't force him, he thought about it, and said with the skateboard in his hands, "You go in first, I'll come over later."

Zhang Xinli thought he was going to leave, so he nodded, turned around and went in.

Lin Jinyu watched him walk into the rolling gate, turned back and crossed the road as usual, and returned to the entrance of the printing shop.

Huang Jiayao's information had already been printed, and he was standing there with Xu Zhao waiting for him.

Xu Zhao said: "Hurry up, dawdling, I'm waiting for you here. We discussed it just now, how about eating rice with lobster? I haven't eaten for a long time, and it's convenient to take the subway."

Lin Jinyu likes to eat rice with lobster. He said, "You guys go, I won't go."

Xu Zhao twisted his face: "Why are you so nervous, where are you going to abandon us?"

Lin Jinyu said: "I'll stay and do a favor. I'm sorry, I'll ask you guys next time."

"Why are you helping me, can you take care of yourself first?" Xu Zhao said, "Whoever gets the money will do the work, and if you don't do free work, Allah is gone."

Lin Jinyu didn't go.In fact, he also knows that he can't help the pile of fools here.He is so busy, but he just doesn't have the mind to play.Keeping Zhang Xinli here, he felt awkward going out with his classmates by himself.

Xu Zhao couldn't talk to him, so he could only watch Lin Jinyu walk up alone, and then walk back in the traffic.

At this time, the courier station had already lost several people, probably because they had gone to eat, and only Zhang Xinli and another eldest sister were left in the store.

They were doing some finishing work, when the elder sister who scanned the code saw him, she thought he was here to pick up something, so she asked, "Nong, wait a moment, what's the number?"

"Well, it's not (taking) cross-district (express delivery)," Lin Jinyu said, "Just..."

Zhang Xinli turned around when he heard the voice, and was a little surprised to see Lin Jinyu at the door.He said, "Sister, it's my younger brother."

"Yo, Brother Nong is very clever," said the elder sister, "Come in."

Just as she was talking, the phone rang, and the eldest sister picked it up skillfully. After talking a lot, Lin Jinyu heard that it was a courier for pick-up.

The eldest sister hung up the phone, got up and gave some instructions, probably to let Zhang Xinli watch over her first, and then go to eat when she came back, and then went out and drove away in the small three-wheeler that was pulling the big bag.

For a while, there were only Lin Jinyu and Zhang Xinli left in the express station.While searching for the code on the shelf, Zhang Xinli asked, "Why don't you go eat?"

Lin Jinyu said: "I'm not hungry yet, let's talk about it later." He walked past the shelves: "What are you doing here?"

Zhang Xinli said: "I do everything, loading cars, scanning codes, numbering, and occasionally have to climb stairs to deliver large items to people's door."

Lin Jinyu glanced at some large items at the door, he thought they were really heavy.

"How much is it a day?"

"Temporary workers, how much more can you pay?" Zhang Xinli said, "I only come once a week, and I didn't charge them at all."

Lin Jinyu asked, "Can I help?"

"No need," Zhang Xinli said, "You can play around for a while, are you alone? Where are your classmates?"

Lin Jinyu lied: "They said they were hungry and wanted to eat, but I couldn't eat, so I asked them to eat first, and then I went to find them after I ate by myself."

Zhang Xinli then said, "I'll take you to dinner after get off work, but there's nothing delicious to eat."

"You have already said the second half of the sentence, so there is no need to emphasize it."

Zhang Xinli refused to let him help, Lin Jinyu had nothing to do, went next door to buy a piece of bubble gum, stood at the door, put down the skateboard and stepped on it, watching him while chewing.

He saw that Zhang Xinli was very proficient in doing things, as if he had repeated countless times and was proficient in this way, so he asked, "Do you often do this?"

"It's quite often," Zhang Xinli replied while working: "I've done everything. Before, I could only serve the boss's dishes or run errands at the street food stalls at night. When someone asked, he said he was the boss's son. When you reach sixteen, you will be able to do more in an upright manner.”

"Like? What have you done?"

Zhang Xinli said casually: "Many, bars, restaurants, going to the construction site to move bricks, everything you can think of has been tried...and even helped others to write their homework."

Lin Jinyu was quite serious at first, but when he heard the last sentence, he wanted to laugh a little. He joked, "You still do homework for others."

"That's right," Zhang Xinli said, "Later, because the handwriting was not good-looking and the accuracy rate was average, no one asked me to write."

Lin Jinyu said: "Unexpectedly...you are still an all-rounder."

Zhang Xinli looked at him and said, "Don't mock me."

"I didn't...I just praised you sincerely." Lin Jinyu was about to say something more, but a man walked in from outside the door. The uncle held a mobile phone, and said as soon as he entered the door: "Cut two."

"What?" Zhang Xinli came over to greet him, but he couldn't understand the old man's Shanghai dialect, so he had to ask him to repeat it.

The uncle still looked at the phone and said, "Cut, it's sloppy!"

This is very... Zhang Xinli has not been in Shanghai for a long time, and he can use the context to roughly understand ordinary everyday expressions, even by listening and guessing, but he cannot understand slightly ambiguous words.

Zhang Xinli still didn't understand what the uncle said, and when he was thinking about what to do, Lin Jinyu pointed to shelf No. [-] and said, "Hey rice." (over there)

The uncle put away his phone, and went looking for it. After finding it, Lin Jinyu called him over, asked his name and phone number on the list, and scanned the QR code to release him after checking.

Zhang Xinli said, "Thank you."

Lin Jinyu felt that he was too out of touch, so he just said a few words for him, what's the matter, what's there to say thank you for, it's too polite.

He said: "You don't understand the local dialect, how do you usually deal with it?"

"Just deal with it like this," Zhang Xinli said: "It's not all the old men who come to pick up the courier. It's better for the younger ones, who can speak Mandarin. If they can't do it, they can only rely on guessing. At most, they will be scolded twice and learn slowly. You can’t just give up on the pick and drop.”

Lin Jinyu became a little annoyed: "Being scolded? No way, what kind of person is this? Isn't it normal for outsiders not to understand the local dialect? It's not okay to say it well, and you will have to be scolded. It's too much."

However, in a service industry such as express delivery, where customers and workers meet each other face to face, there will be a long queue at the gate of the express delivery station during peak hours every day, and everyone is in a hurry. They all want to get their things home early, and customers or bosses don't have the patience and obligation to tolerate your slow movements.

If you want to make money, you always have to bow your head, you have to be patient, and you have to be wronged.

"It's nothing too much," Zhang Xinli said. "It's the way it should be if it's not done well. It's inevitable to be scolded. They originally wanted to hire a local as a temporary worker, but they couldn't find one, so they chose me."

"..." Lin Jinyu said, "How much do you pay for a day here, why are you swallowing your anger so much?"

Zhang Xinli said: "Usually, it is calculated by piece, and the minimum commission is added. Those like me who fish for three days and spend two days drying nets get half of it, and ninety for one day."

Ninety... It costs more than 90 yuan for Lin Jinyu and Xu Zhao to eat out casually. 90 yuan can't even afford a quarter or even a fifth of a pair of shoes for him. But just for this 90 yuan, Zhang Xinli I have to use the only day of the week to go to a place four or five kilometers away from home, carrying things on my back between long shelves, closed carriages, and narrow corridors, no matter whether it is windy, rainy or sunny. According to the photo, he has to go in step by step.

Lin Jinyu squatted down, looked through the packages that hadn't been delivered, and asked, "Are you going to send all these?"

Zhang Xinli said, "Yes."

"I'll help you look at the number, you can type it, it will be faster."

This time, Zhang Xinli didn't directly refuse, so Lin Jinyu squatted down and started picking up the numbers on the list one by one, and reported them to him.

Call up the template and then import it in batches, and finally send it in groups. After adding one more man, Zhang Xinli's efficiency is much faster, and all the work is done in a short time.

Lin Jinyu moved the packages to the shelf and put them away. As soon as they stood up, they saw the older sister just got off the small three-wheeler, and said to them: "Thank you for your hard work, can you move them from ancient to ancient?"

There was another big bag in the car, Zhang Xinli replied that he could move it, went to the back and tidied up the big woven bag, then grabbed the two sides and lifted it up with both hands.

Lin Jinyu wanted to go over to help, Zhang Xinli said, "Sit down, I'll take you to dinner after moving this."

The weight had already been weighed, the labels and cassettes were all printed, Zhang Xinli carried the heavy woven bag to the corner, and waited for the car to collect it in the afternoon.

The eldest sister told them a few hard words, smiled and let them go to eat.

Lin Jinyu was carrying a skateboard and followed behind Zhang Xinli. After a few steps out of the store, her cell phone rang.

The words "Xu Dazhao" on the screen are brighter and more conspicuous.

When Lin Jinyu picked it up, Xu Zhao cut to the chase and said, "Hey, whale, where are you?"

Lin Jinyu glanced at Zhang Xinli, stopped, and said, "It's just at the door of the express station, what's the matter?"

Xu Zhao said: "We bought food for you, now we are going to find you, you stay where you are, Huang Jiayao and I will be there in a few steps."

"What?" Lin Jinyu said, "Did you buy food?"

Zhang Xinli also stopped, waiting for him to call.

"That's right," Xu Zhao complained, "It's just fast food. We've looked for it, and there really isn't anything around here except fast food."

Lin Jinyu winked at Zhang Xinli, asking for his opinion.

Zhang Xinli said: "If you buy it, eat it together to save time."

Lin Jinyu then said: "Did you buy two copies? Then come here and wait for you."

Xu Zhao answered yes, and the two parties hung up the phone.After a while, Xu Zhao and Huang Jiayao appeared at the corner of the street carrying bags.

Zhang Xinli also saw them. Xu Zhao originally ran towards Lin Jinyu, but when he saw Zhang Xinli, he slammed on the brakes and looked at him unwillingly.

Zhang Xinli obviously didn't like him too, and his expression was a little cold.

Lin Jinyu said: "You guys are here, why don't you go and eat better."

"Didn't I ask you out together? What's the point of leaving you here?" Xu Zhao said: "We ate in the store and packed it for you. Hurry up and eat."

Lin Jinyu took the bag in his hand, and changed hands to pass it to Zhang Xinli first, Xu Zhao said, "Hey, I bought this for you, why are you handing it to him?"

Lin Jinyu wondered, "Aren't the two copies the same?"

"It's the same, but the one I mentioned is for you to eat."

Lin Jinyu embarrassed: "I'm convinced."

Huang Jiayao nodded to Zhang Xinli as a greeting, and gave him the share he was carrying.

They walked back a few steps to the courier station. There was only one empty stool in the store. Lin Jinyu sat on a small stool to eat, while Zhang Xinli squatted beside him.

As soon as there were more people, there were more topics. Xu Zhao carried a skateboard on his back and still held the pair of shoes that Lin Jinyu gave him in his hand, and chatted with him: "I heard from Qiao Xi that this semester's basketball game is about to be selected, you participate No?"

Lin Jinyu said while eating, "I don't know, it's not decided, but I will be a substitute at most when I go, it's not important, I don't really want to sign up."

His ability to handle the ball is mediocre, and he is good at bullying and bullying novices. the best position for him.

Xu Zhao is different. He learned basketball seriously from his coach when he was a child. When he practiced until dark, he would rather shoot in the dark than go back. The Wannian small forward was the pillar of the school team in junior high school. one.

Lin Jinyu said: "Our class is pointing at you."

Xu Zhao said: "Don't, just treat it as a game. There are not many people in our class who can watch, so you have to make up the number."

This is true. For most high school students, everyone is busy with their studies. Basketball is just a hobby. Boys love to watch the NBA and spontaneously follow the stars to learn various styles of play. But in the final analysis, most people’s skills Still an amateur, it's really not easy to cobble together a really eye-catching class team.

Lin Jinyu was lazy and didn't want to move. Every year, he was dragged by Xu Zhao to sign up. He didn't go to the office a few times, and he always sat on the bench.

He thought that the situation this year must be similar, so he said perfunctorily: "Okay, okay, let me make up the number, okay?"

Xu Zhao felt at ease immediately, and began to urge Huang Jiayao to try again.Huang Jiayao didn't take his eyes off the dictionary, and directly threw three words at him: "Not interested."

"It's too embarrassing. The whales have gone. You should also sign up. You can't do it. Your skills are also good. If you go to our class, you will have a better chance of winning, otherwise you really can't make up five talents. watch."

Huang Jiayao said: "If you sign up, you have to participate in training. I don't have that kind of skill."

Xu Zhao persisted: "You're only a freshman in high school. Do you need to work so hard? Just train. If you miss an hour of study, you won't die."

Huang Jiayao rolled his eyes at him in his heart: "I won't die if I miss one hour of study, but you will die if you study for one more minute."

Unconvinced by this kind of irony, Xu Zhao immediately dragged him to start a [-]-round debate.

Beep over there, you and I have a heated argument, but Zhang Xinli has already finished all the meals here.He covered the fast food box as it was and put it in a plastic bag. Seeing that Lin Jinyu was still counting the rice by his side, he said, "I don't get off work until after six o'clock. You can go and play with them later in the afternoon. What do you want to eat tonight?" Go back and do it for you."

Lin Jinyu had no objection at all, he said: "Sure, Auntie Zhou has bought all the dishes, and there seems to be river prawns in the refrigerator."

Zhang Xinli said: "You don't have to squat here with me to eat lunch."

Lin Jinyu said, "I'm willing, but I can't, shut up." He looked at Xu Zhao, who was talking happily, and suddenly remembered something, so he said, "You seem to have said before that you are a special student?"

"Well, what?"

"What are you studying?" Lin Jinyu asked, "It doesn't mean that special students still have a direction or something."

"There are special programs," Zhang Xinli said, "There are football, volleyball, table tennis, martial arts, etc., but the programs offered by each school are different."

Lin Jinyu asked: "Then what do you study?"

Zhang Xinli tied up the plastic bag and threw it out together after Lin Jinyu finished eating, saying, "Athletics is the main item...basketball is the secondary item."
