The Beginning

Chapter 45: Undeliverable Express (4)

Views:

You are a person who can endure boredom, even if you repeat one thing repeatedly, you will not feel tired, and your physical strength is also very good. The wear and tear caused by sending express delivery up and down the stairs is not as good as that of the past.

But you start to worry that if you perform beyond your level on the first day of work, there will be more task indicators waiting for you later.

So you think about it, decide to park your car in a safe place, and go for a walk.

After locking the car, you start thinking about what you can do with this half day.

In order to save the cost of living in a big city, you have lived very economically these past few months. Now you feel that since the time will repeat itself, you might as well spend it hard and eat something delicious.

You took out the cash in your pocket, a total of five hundred and twenty yuan;

You have more than 2,000 yuan in your Alipay and WeChat wallets, which is the basic salary saved during the internship. When you look at all your savings, you suddenly feel confident that you can eat a "delicious" meal.

You take out your phone and start using the app to search for fine local food.

Ten minutes later, you fell silent looking at the prices of "200 per capita" and "300 per capita" in the price recommendation, and then decisively closed the recommendation of "exquisite food" and searched for "special snacks".

"Eating delicacies from mountains and seas alone is too wasteful, let's have some snacks."

You say so to yourself.

You came to the famous "snack street" in the local area, and ate happily.

Garlic crayfish, spicy crab, teppanyaki, beef noodles, red bean paste... You order all the snacks that you usually can't bear to eat, and you will have a full stomach.

Probably because I have never seen such a courier brother who went to the snack street to eat big food, and many people secretly pointed at you.

You are wearing the uniform of the company's courier, slumped on the chair of the snack stall, accepting the strange eyes of other people, and feel that you should change your clothes.

You usually wear uniforms at work, but you are used to wearing military uniforms in the army. You don’t bring many clothes with you, and you only wear them during vacations.

Now that the weather is getting colder, you have no time to buy new clothes for yourself, and you dare not go into the store casually, worrying that you will spend half a month's living expenses by accident.

But it’s different now, when you buy a lottery ticket, there may be hundreds of millions hahaha!

So you come to a very famous local shopping mall and go straight to the third floor where the high-end men's clothing is located.

The newly launched autumn and winter men's clothing is displayed in the window of the mall. Each piece looks very stylish and has a special texture. You look around and look satisfied, as if you can buy the entire mall.

You've spotted a cool leather bomber jacket, so you step into the store, only to find you're not greeted.

You couldn't find the location of the leather jacket in the store, so you had to find a receptionist and ask where the leather jacket in the window was at the door.

As a result, the teller didn't raise his eyes, and he didn't answer your question. He just said that the leather jacket didn't suit you, and advised you to go to the fifth floor to have a look.

The fifth floor is where sports brands are located, and you wonder why.

"This is sheepskin imported from Italy. Did you deliver it by express? Sheepskin is delicate and easy to wear, so it's not suitable for you." The teller said so, looking you up and down. "And this one costs 8,800 yuan, and the discount will cost more than 8,000 yuan..."

After listening to the price, you suddenly feel that this leather jacket is not so good-looking, and you leave the store disheartened.

After leaving the store, you start to reflect on why you are "showing your timidity".

You feel that the amount of banknotes in your wallet limits your thinking. After all, those hundreds of millions have not yet reached your hands, and you are reluctant to spend money.

No money to spend.

So you wore the uniform of the courier, followed the advice of the teller, and went up to the fifth floor.

The clerk selling sports brands on the fifth floor warmly welcomes you and recommends various wear-resistant and cold-proof in-store products to you. Feeling their gentle reception, and recalling the indifferent attitude before, you gritted your teeth and bought yourself a cold-proof suit and a new pair of sneakers.

You were too lazy to go to the fitting room, so you tried on the coat in the hall, and as soon as you took off the clothes, several shop assistants began to praise your figure, praising your strong tendons.

You know that this is a way to sell clothes, and you resisted the "sugar-coated bullets" without moving, and refused the other party's offer to let you try on another pair of pants.

The pretty lady teller glanced at your waist and your legs in disappointment, and persuaded you several times, but you still refused with a straight face.

"No, I'm not wearing underpants, so it's troublesome to change in the fitting room!"

You are afraid of the heat, so you only wear a pair of pants in winter.

The fitting room is hot and stuffy. Changing pants is not like jackets and shoes. You have to pay attention to your hips and waist, and you have to measure the length of the pants. It is troublesome to change them.

After hearing your words, the beautiful young lady looked even more disappointed.

You pay for your new shoes and coat, watching your Alipay balance dwindle and your heart bleeds.

Woohoo, I knew I wouldn't eat so much meat.

Spicy crab and crayfish can't be worn on the body!

After paying, the young lady who just advised you to buy pants politely asked if you could add a contact information. You looked at her warily and flatly refused.

Just kidding, after adding it, will you be selling new clothes to the store every day

As a man in uniform, you don't need that many new clothes!

You go back to the place where you parked the car, drove the express car back home, put away the newly bought clothes and pants, and decided to wear them during this week's rotation.

Looking at the time, it is already six o'clock. You drove the express car back to the delivery point, and bought some stewed vegetables when passing by a stewed vegetable stand, and you are going to add an extra meal to your colleagues.

Back at the courier point, you checked the undelivered courier today and found that the "Xiao Heyun" courier was still in order, and you couldn't help but feel glad that you didn't pick up the courier today. Your master looked at your almost empty compartment and expressed his extreme praise for your work ability.

You take out the stewed vegetables you bought and ask the master to add a meal to your colleagues. Seeing the stewed vegetables, the master happily took out a few bottles of beer, and decided to have a good night with good food and wine.

At this time, you tentatively asked the master and the leader of the cold noodle group, saying that you have something to do at night, so you can get off work first.

In view of the fact that you have completed your work tasks today and brought good food, the head of the cold noodle team opened the door and allowed you to leave work early.

When colleagues are happily opening the small table to eat, you hear someone praise you, saying that "although you save money, you are not stingy", and someone regrets that you will not be able to enjoy the good wine and food tonight.

Smelling the smell of meat, you walked out of the company and could not help but burp.

I ate too much in the afternoon, and even hiccup tasted spicy.

On the way home, you check the time and realize that there are still a few hours until the lottery draw.

After a busy few months and just putting down roots in this big city, it's the first time you leave work so early. Looking at the road with the first lights, you don't know where to go or who to chat with.

This city is so big, you are busy every day to survive in this city, but its joy and prosperity do not seem to belong to you.

You won't know what you want to achieve tomorrow when you open your eyes, you will never want to try to surpass yourself yesterday, and there are no comrades who will be trained together by your side.

You start to miss your troops a little bit, miss your brothers sleeping in your lower bunk, even though eight out of ten of them have stinky feet.

Feeling inexplicably depressed, you return to your rented place, looking at your newly bought clothes on the bed, you decide to spend a bit of extravagance...

- Take a bath in the large public bath.

The basement where you live is converted from a garage. There is no toilet, only a sink for simple washing. It was originally for the convenience of car washing.

In summer, you can just scrub. Now that the weather is cold, bathing becomes troublesome.

You haven't taken a good bath for two months, so you don't have much struggle at all, so you decide to go to the legendary "everything" big bath to consume.

You took your toiletries, followed the directions of the mobile phone map, and drove the courier car to the nearest bathhouse "Huaqing Pool".

The doorman took you as a courier and directed you to the back door.

You parked your car at the back door in a daze, entered the door, and stepped into the luxurious bathing hall.

There are European-style sofas and coffee tables in the hall, and you can’t tell the aroma is lit. You step on the thick plush carpet under your feet, which is soft when you step on it, and you don’t feel down-to-earth at all.

You look up and are stunned by the countless nude portraits in Western oil painting style on the dome.

The last time you saw such an exaggerated dome was when you followed your master to deliver a courier in a flamboyant five-star hotel. But the angels in that dome were clothed.

You think this is probably some kind of feature of the bathhouse, and go to the front desk a little uncomfortable.

"Send the courier to the back..."

The front desk with a smiling face in a suit said to him, "It's not easy to pick up express delivery in front."

"I'm here to take a shower."

You say so.

Hearing your words, the smiling waiter immediately brought you a cup of scented tea.

You happened to be a little thirsty, so you drank the cup of jasmine tea in one gulp.

"Would you like to take a bath, wet steam, dry steam, hydrotherapy, or a health regimen?"

asked politely at the front desk.

"ah?"

For a moment, you thought that the other party was going to cook you a dish and was asking you how many ways to eat it, so you were a little confused.

"Just... just take a bath."

You said hesitantly.

"Do you want to eat?"

The front desk asked again, "We have dinner here."

When you heard that there is still food to eat, you feel that the big public bath is just like the legend "has everything", and then you say that you don't need dinner.

You still have a lot of undigested snacks in your stomach.

"Not including meals, not including any items, the total is 158 yuan. The leisure area, gym, and various baths are free. The third floor is a rest area where you can sleep for a while. There is a restaurant on the first floor, and there are waiters who will guide you. You go in and store your belongings."

The front desk checks you in and hands you a pass.

You heard that it costs 158 yuan to take a bath, and you feel like you have entered a black shop.

Looking at the smiling face of the other party, you took out your mobile phone and paid for your "bath money" in distress.

Following the staff to store good things and change the bathrobe and slippers, you decide to get the one hundred and fifty-eight yuan back and enjoy it.

Better to sleep here tonight!

You go to the rain shower area to rinse briefly, and then go to the big bath to take a good bath.

The moment you buried your body in the hot pool, you let out a long and comfortable sigh, as if even the exhaustion in your pores had been taken away.

After taking a bath, you explored all the free areas like a child;

You go to the lounge area to watch a half-day shootout movie, then go to the gym to lift weights.

Seeing you effortlessly lifting the barbell in the gym, several other burly guys became interested in you and gathered around to ask you to "compete".

You found the familiar feeling of being "named" in the army, and readily agreed to the next competition.

You took off your bathrobe, and you started "lifting iron" with your upper body bare.

Your barbells start to increase little by little, and more and more people are watching you.

When it was added to the fifth floor, several boys who competed with you expressed that they were exhausted. You grabbed the barbell added to the fifth floor and performed a few squats with standard posture.

You won the contest, and although you didn't win any prizes, you were still happy.

Onlookers become interested in the muscles on your body, asking which gym you train at, or where you keep fit.

You tell them you're not a fitness trainer, just a courier...

"It turned out to be a coolie, no wonder he is so strong."

You heard one of the lads who lost say that.

"You must carry a lot of goods every day, right?"

"I used to be a soldier..."

The second half of what you were about to say was choked by the other party's contemptuous gaze.

Looking at the "surprised" eyes of the people around you at the answer you gave, you suddenly lost interest in this game.

You picked up your bathrobe, put it on casually, and left the gym.

You just lifted the iron, which made you a little tired. You went back to the bathtub for a soak to relieve your tense muscles, then got up again, and decided to go to the rest area for a while to relax.

You came to the rest area and looked at the time on the wall clock in the rest area, it was already half past eight.

Lying on the reclining chair, you hope that the uncle watching TV next door can wake you up at 9:15, and after getting the affirmative answer from the other party, you slowly close your eyes.

After a while, you were shaken awake, you thought it was the uncle who woke you up, but found a skinny young man squatting sneakily in front of your recliner.

"What's up?"

You frowned, turned your head and found that the old man who promised to wake you up just now had disappeared.

"Sir, our place is so luxurious and the service is so complete, you don't enjoy any package, it's a disadvantage! I think you are a bit lonely coming alone, do you want to..."

The young man looked at you with a slightly wretched smile.

"Come to Dabaojian?"

The author has something to say: Small theater:

You look at the road on which the lights are just beginning, and you don't know where you can go or who you can chat with.

Miss cat litter: ...

Clothes seller: ...

Today's option: Wow, the legendary XXX, you have to see it!

You are such an upright man, absolutely must decline!
