The red light at the Xinghe intersection was extraordinarily long. When Xiang Zhangkong waited for ninety-six seconds, he saw a plane flying past in the sky not far away.
The weather is fine today. Under the clear sky, the plane pulled a long white smoke, as if painting the sky.
Looking towards the sky, watching it fly past his field of vision little by little, until the red light turns green. He twisted the accelerator and drove the battery car out.
He was rushing to an office building in front to deliver takeaways to customers who ordered food. It is already autumn in City A in October, and the oncoming wind slaps on the face with a slight chill.
After arriving at the office building, Xiang Changkong parked the battery car downstairs, took out the takeout from the incubator, and walked in quickly while calling the customer. This is a high-end office building. The men and women who go in and out are all dressed in young and fashionable clothes. Xiang Zhangkong waits for them to get out of the elevator before stepping in.
Because it was time to go out to eat, there were not many people going upstairs, the elevator stopped smoothly on the 23rd floor, and the door opened with a "ding" sound.
Xiang Zhangkong walked out of the elevator, found the company on the address with familiarity, and pushed open the glass door in front of him.
"Hello, who is Ms. Zhou?"
"Here and here!" A short-haired girl stuck her head out from the desk and waved towards the sky.
Glancing at Zhang Kong in her direction, he walked over with the takeaway.
"What did you order?" The male colleague sitting opposite Ms. Zhou stood up excitedly and tapped twice on her desk curiously. Because the range of motion was too large, the folder he kept at hand was swept to the ground by him.
"Maocai." Ms. Zhou responded with joy, and vacated the desk, "Thank you, thank you, just leave it here."
Xiang Zhangkong put down the takeout, said "slow use", and turned around to leave. The male colleague's folder fell at his feet, and he bent towards Zhang Kong, intending to help him pick it up, but before he touched it, the male colleague shouted in a fuss: "Don't touch it, I'll just do it myself. Now! Don't get my stuff dirty."
Xiang Zhangkong's movements paused, and without saying anything, he stepped over his folder and walked out. When pushing the door, he looked at his fingers, took it back and wiped it on his overalls twice before pushing the door open.
When I walked to the elevator, the elevator door just opened, and another takeaway boy hurried out from the inside. Seeing Xiang Zhangkong on the opposite side, he greeted him in a spirited way.
He and Xiang Changkong are not from a food delivery company, but because they deliver food in the same area, they can meet from time to time.
Xiang Zhangkong nodded at him, walked quickly into the elevator and pressed the elevator door.
"..." The little brother standing outside the elevator didn't regain his senses. He was stunned for a moment before whistling at the closed elevator door, "Dude, today is so cool all of a sudden~"
He ignored the sky and went to deliver his takeaway quickly.
In the elevator, Xiang Zhangkong quietly watched the number drop to nine, then took out his phone and flipped through the order.
Next, he went to Xingguang Park to deliver meals to a lady Xu Lian. He has often received orders from this lady Xu Lian recently, and she has ordered "Wolong Kitchen"'s signature chicken leg rice for three consecutive days.
Get back on your own battery car and drive towards the sky towards Xingguang Park.
Ten years ago, the location of Xingguang Park was still barren. In the past few years, with the strong support of the government, Xingguang Park was successfully built and developed rapidly. Nowadays, in addition to having the largest sea of flowers in the entire city A, there are also large exhibition halls and unique shops, which have become the new coordinates of city A, attracting tens of thousands of tourists and photography enthusiasts.
This year, I heard that Xingguang Farm has also been set up, which can be rented to urbanites to experience growing vegetables.
The lady Xu Lian who ordered the meal opened a small and medium-sized restaurant of her own in Xingguang Park.
When delivering food to Changkong for the first time in Xingguang Park, he still needed to rely on maps for navigation. After several times, he had memorized all the maps of the entire Xingguang Park in his mind.
He parked the battery car outside Xu Lian's store, took out what she ordered to Changkong, walked to the door and glanced inside. The girl who was sitting on the first floor watching the store was not there today. No wonder she only ordered one meal.
"Hello." He gently pushed open the store door, and the wind chimes hanging at the door made a jingling sound.
Xu Lian was melting wax on the second floor when she heard the voice and glanced down. Her workshop is on the second floor, and the side facing the door is not blocked by a railing, but has a full-length floor-to-ceiling window.
A little brother in orange overalls was standing downstairs with the takeaway she ordered in his hand.
"Wait a minute." Xu Lian turned off the wax melting furnace, took out a tissue to wipe her hands, and walked downstairs.
The crisp high-heeled shoes sounded from far to near, and Xiang Zhangkong became cramped for no reason.
He saw her wearing a pair of black leather pants two days ago, with a handsome and sexy temperament, as if she was a big brother's woman. Today is a long black trench coat with an exaggerated belt, a pair of black high-heeled shoes, and her hair is tied into a high ponytail, tied behind her head, straight and black.
Today, she is no longer like the woman of the eldest brother, but like the eldest brother himself.
"Thank you." Xu Lian unknowingly walked up to him and took the takeaway from him.
Xiang Changkong felt a light hand in his hand, and subconsciously said "You're welcome" to her, then turned around and walked out of the store.
When he turned on the accelerator of the battery car, he looked back at Xu Lian again, who was walking towards the rest room on the first floor carrying the takeaway.
Her face is very beautiful, a standard oval face, no bangs, revealing a smooth and full forehead. Her eyebrows are drawn deeper and thicker than ordinary women, and her lipstick is the most aura of red.
She seems to particularly like this kind of flamboyant dress, just like she clearly runs a very literary and petty scented candle shop, but she named it MONSTER (monster).
Xiang Zhangkong withdrew his gaze and rushed to the next destination.
It only took Xu Lian ten minutes to finish the lunch. At the end of this month, there is a new real estate opening, and the developer has ordered 200 sets of scented candle gift boxes from her to give to VIP guests who will join the membership later.
This developer is a local old-fashioned developer with strong financial resources, and signed an order of 100,000 with her. Xu Lian has always made her own orders. She doesn't have the habit of inviting others. First, she finds it troublesome, and second, she doesn't worry about other people's work, but she is busy.
She has also opened this store for two years. The business in the early stage was not very good, and it could even be said to be deserted. After all, scented candles are not so popular. And she became completely popular after she cooperated with the dessert shop "Sugar Heart Sweet" next door.
Last Christmas, the owner of the dessert shop approached her and asked her to help the shop make some scented candles and Christmas wreaths. Because she was very satisfied with the finished products, the owner posted these photos on the Internet.
Tang Xin Mi Yi is an Internet celebrity dessert shop with more than one million followers on Weibo. Xu Lian's shop became popular after they posted this. Not only more and more customers come to the door, but also more and more cooperation with other businesses.
Starting from the second half of this year, she was really too busy by herself, so she hired an employee to help her watch the store and checkout.
After the short break, Xu Lian went to the workshop on the second floor and started rushing orders. As soon as she started working, the time became fast, and when she came back to her senses, her alarm clock had been ringing desperately for half a minute.
She exhaled a long breath and turned off the alarm clock that reminded her to order takeout.
She only set this alarm clock in the past few days, because she has been too busy with work these days. As long as the little employee she hired was not around, she would definitely forget to order takeout.
There are many kinds of dinners on the take-out software, but there are few really delicious ones. Xu Lian was too lazy to think about what to eat at night, so he ordered another chicken leg rice.
This time period was also the peak period for delivering food to Changkong. Before he set off, he made a phone call to his home.
The phone rang for a long time before being picked up. After the other party answered the phone, he didn't speak. Xiang Changkong seemed to take it easy, and said directly: "Mom, remember to have dinner, I put everything I eat in the refrigerator. Warm it up and eat it."
There was still no sound from the other side, only a slight breathing sound indicated that there was indeed someone on the other end of the phone.
Xiang Changkong continued: "I'll pack my things after I come back. I'll be home at about ten o'clock, so you go to bed early."
This time he waited, but the other end of the phone was still silent. He sighed inaudibly, said "goodbye" and hung up the phone.
After hearing the phone hang up, Weng Shuli took another three seconds to put down the phone. She went to the refrigerator to take out the dishes she had left for Zhang Kong, and as soon as she put it in the microwave, she heard the door slamming.
The house they live in is relatively old, there is no such thing as a garden, and the kitchen is next to the gate. Weng Shuli walked out of the kitchen and looked at the door. The people outside the door hadn't left yet, because the knock on the door was still ringing tirelessly. She stood there for a while, and walked up slowly to open the door.
The door was not fully opened, and a door chain was still attached, which was also specially explained to Zhang Kong.
When people outside saw her, they were stunned for a moment, then smiled at her and said, "Hello to mother, I'm Xiao Liu who lives across from you, do you still know me?"
Weng Shuli didn't speak, just looked at her expressionlessly. Xiao Liu was seen by her a little bit. It had been two years since the Xiang Changkong family moved in. She often saw the two brothers and sisters of the Xiang family. Only this one, Xiang's mother, rarely showed up. I heard that there was some kind of illness.
"I just went down to get the courier, and when I saw a letter from your family to Changkong, I took it up for you along the way." Xiao Liu said, handing over the letter in his hand, "Well, this is it, then I won't. Excuse me."
After she put the letter in her hand to Weng Shuli, she turned around and opened the door of her house. Weng Shuli closed the door and looked down at the letter in her hand.
The recipient is Xiang Changkong, and the address for sending the letter is the First Aircraft Research Institute in City A.
Weng Shuli stared at the words for a while, then tore the envelope in half and threw it into the trash can.
