"Then, through everyone's unanimous vote, the new member of the new round of neighborhood committee is Comrade Chen Mo! Everyone applaud!"
Chen Mo: "..."
"Xiao Chen, do a good job, everyone believes in you!"
After a burst of applause, Chen Mo stood up and delivered an inaugural speech under the eager eyes of the elders and aunts.
"Uh... thank you, thank you for your trust in me..." Chen Mo was so nervous that he almost hiccupped, "Although I haven't done a similar job before and lack of exercise, I will definitely study hard and go to work. Do this job well... I believe that our community will be even better, let us build our community into a model unit for the whole city with full spirit!"
Chen Mo talked a lot, fooling the little old man and the old lady present.
"I didn't expect that, Xiao Chen looks so young and speaks in a different way."
"It looks good!"
"My daughter is the right age for him, let's talk to her later."
Chen Mo: "..."
When he sat down again, Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief and wiped off his sweat. The content of his speech was temporarily published by Baidu, as if it was someone's work report, and he didn't read it carefully.
It’s funny to think about it. Chen Mo is now 20 years old and has been wandering all over the country for many years. He lives here and plays so much. He doesn’t stay in one place for a long time. I bought a room, settled the monthly payment, and was inexplicably elected as a member of the neighborhood committee of this community.
Before this, that is, last week, he was suddenly selected as the title of brother Lou in this unit, because he is handsome and helpful, and the uncles and aunts couldn't think of any good titles, so they randomly tossed a brother Lou out.
Therefore, he is quite popular and directly stood out in the general election of the neighborhood committee.
He participated in the election entirely because he heard that he was helping the neighborhood committee, and he was given a monthly subsidy for water and electricity. Now he lacks nothing but money. The capitalized word poor is engraved on his forehead, so he has to work for a nearby family except during the day. He works part-time in a restaurant and has to engage in a side job in his spare time, otherwise he will not be happy and will be expelled from the earth.
Chen Mo once thought pessimistically whether he would become a boy standing on the street, but his face and body were so capable, even if he distributed a leaflet, his efficiency would be much higher than others.
After the meeting ended, Aunt Wang of the neighborhood committee assigned Chen Mo his first task since taking up the post, collecting money.
Chen Mo was dumbfounded.
It's good to do anything, even if it's ideological work, it's better than collecting money.
It is absolutely hateful for people to pay for it, especially if it is handed over to the neighborhood committee.
"Look, Xiao Chen," Aunt Wang yelled at the meeting, still out of breath, "The lights in our corridor are still outdated hand-controlled lights, and the switch, you press until the wall collapses, The lights didn't come on either."
Chen Mo: "..."
Isn't it?
During the month that Chen Mo lived here, he climbed the stairs every night in smear. Sometimes when he met someone, it was like seeing a ghost, and he couldn't see clearly.
"So our neighborhood committee plans to do a considerate thing for the residents, replacing all the lights with the latest voice-activated lights!"
Chen Mo slandered a bit, if he really did something caring, wouldn't it be enough for the neighborhood committee to directly allocate funds?What is the fee? He has seen it before. In the past month, the neighborhood committee has proposed all kinds of whimsical plans, from installing elevators to building a musical fountain downstairs. During the discussion, everyone responded enthusiastically. Collect the money and pack up and leave.
But it shouldn't cost much to install the voice-activated lights. Chen Mo thought it wouldn't be difficult to collect this amount of money, so he agreed.
The office of the neighborhood committee was set up in an old warehouse in the community, and a canopy was set up next to it as a conference room and activity room. Fold the receipts, and plan to start harvesting leeks tonight.
Xiao Chen Mo, who has just started working, is as lively as a jumping duckling, bumping a few times when he walks.
He knocked on the door one by one, some people saw him through the cat's eyes, a handsome guy, they would open the door and ask him what he was doing, but as soon as he opened his mouth to collect money, all kinds of reasons came up.
Why is there no change at home, someone was hospitalized, and it was stolen a few days ago, and all of my house was stolen. He knocked on a unit, and only received the money from one unit.
The news quickly spread in the residents' WeChat group, so when they came to the second unit, everyone with the lights on pretended that there was no one in the house, and the grumpy shouted "asleep" and sent him away.
Chen Mo climbed from the first floor to the top floor, and no one opened the door to see his beauty, which made him sigh.
Hey, what's the matter!Why is this job so difficult to carry out!It is agreed that everyone will face up and down together!
Holding the receipt, Chen Mo looked like a deflated ball, sweeping away the excitement at the beginning.Walking down the stairs, halfway through, I happened to see a tall and thin boy open the door and was about to close it.
Chen Mo himself is 1.8 meters four, and his figure is quite standard. He walks like a supermodel, which is eye-catching.
And the handsome guy in front of him is taller than him, more than 1.9 meters by visual measurement, he can't see his face clearly, there is no light, and he should be able to see it after changing the voice-activated light.
"Hey," Chen Mo didn't give up, jumped down from the stairs in three steps at a time, and came to the door before the handsome guy closed the door, "Brother, hey, I have something to tell you!"
"Ok?"
Li Liren moved a few steps into the room vigilantly, and grabbed the broom beside the door. He couldn't see Chen Mo's face clearly, but felt that Chen Mo's flamboyant hairstyle didn't look like a good person. He thought Chen Mo was here to steal money and sex.
"I'm Chen Mo, who just took office in the neighborhood committee. Er, I just want to discuss something with you."
Chen Mo had a long night of closed doors, and he had a long memory. He planned not to raise the money straight to the point, but to do ideological work first, and then raise the money after the residents themselves supported the plan of installing voice-activated lights from the bottom of their hearts.
"Chen Mo?"
Li Liren muttered.
"Yeah, that's me."
"do not know."
"..."
He didn't know where Li Liren's neighborhood committee was, or if there was a neighborhood committee in this community, let alone who Chen Mo was.
He pressed the switch in the living room, and the soft light came on, reflecting on Chen Mo. It was the first time in Li Weiren's life that he saw Chen Mo. At that moment, his eyes were shining.
Apart from Chen Mo's avant-garde hairstyle, which was hard for Li Yiren to accept, he really had no choice.Although the smile on his face was a bit ruffian, it was very attractive.
very nice.
Although he is a bit rustic handsome, he can go to heaven at any time.
Chen Mo is not as tall as Li Liren himself, but he is not bad, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. The key is that Chen Mo is wearing a sleeveless tight top and trousers at the moment, making his smooth arms She and her legs are exposed, with a little bit of muscle, but she looks thinner.
Li Liren couldn't help swallowing.
The only thing that made Li Liren want to deduct points was the flip flops worn by Chen Mo, which were too casual, but there was a red string tied on Chen Mo's right ankle, with a red bean strung on it, his feet were clean , when shaking his legs, the small beads flickered and hit his clean skin, and the deducted points were added back.
Still full marks.
Li Liren felt that the handsome young man in front of him was very attractive, and couldn't help looking away.
Chen Mo saw that Li Liren was looking at his feet, so he lifted it up, pointed at it, and said, "The one that has been opened, this red bean is a good fortune."
Li Liren: "..."
What a joke.
Zhaocai, you still look so poor, did you buy this dress from a night market stall?The sum is not as expensive as my underpants.
Li Liren wanted to laugh a little.
Chen Mo saw that Li Liren did not refuse to close the door himself, so he introduced with a smile: "Brother, you have also seen that it is inconvenient not to have a light in the corridor, and the switch, if you press it forever, the light will not turn on." .”
Li Liren raised his eyes: "Is there a light in the corridor?"
Chen Mo was taken aback: "There are...but they don't work anymore. After discussion, the neighborhood committee decided to replace them with voice-activated lights in the corridors."
Li Liren smiled faintly: "Really? Very good, I firmly support the correct leadership of the neighborhood committee."
Chen Mo saw that there was something going on, and stretched out his hand: "Pay the money."
"..."
Li Liren frowned, good-looking does not mean that there is no problem, he looked at Chen Mo carefully, and asked: "Are you really from the neighborhood committee? You look quite young."
Anyway, it's definitely not a salesman. The salesman's dress is not as elegant as he is, but he may be a liar.
Nowadays, many scammers are good-looking, which can easily break people's defenses.
But with Chen Mo like this, Li Liren is willing to be cheated once.
"Ah, I am." Chen Mo took out his brand-new work card from his trouser pocket, "Here, look, brother is indeed young, he is young and promising."
Li Liren took the job card and glanced at the photo above. It was a photo sticker. This unnatural hairstyle can’t be mistaken. It was him. After checking that there was no problem with the documents, he didn’t say much, and asked directly: “Do you need to pay?” How many?"
"Fifty per household."
"wait."
Li Liren took out his wallet from his satchel and found that there were several [-]'s in it. He closed it silently, opened his eyes and said nonsense: "There is no change."
Chen Mo: "It's okay, I can find it for you."
Li Liren said again: "I mean, I don't have fifty cash on me."
"Ah," Chen Mo was vigilant, this person probably wanted to evade the order, so he said, "It doesn't matter if you don't have cash, just give me Alipay and WeChat."
Li Liren raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Success, then I will add you as a friend on WeChat and send you a red envelope."
"Row!"
Chen Mo took out his mobile phone, he pressed it for a long time, the screen was almost broken, and then he pressed his QR code: "You scan me, my camera doesn't work well, it takes a long time to get stuck."
"……no problem."
Li Liren scanned Chen Mo's QR code and sent out a request to add "My name is Li Liren", which is a self-introduction.
After another half a day, Chen Mo almost lost his temper because of the phone card, before he approved the application.
Li Liren looked at Chen Mo's profile picture. It was a selfie of Chen Mo himself. It was super pretty and easy to recognize.
He sent a red envelope: "You take it."
"Okay, wait a minute," Chen Mo tapped his fingers several times before the phone responded, "Huh? 52 yuan? Give me more!"
"No," Li Liren smiled, "Seeing that the date of your work permit is today, the new official will take office, and I will give you some prizes."
"Two yuan? How dare you bribe me from the beginning?" Chen Mo also laughed, "You still think I'm a dick?"
Li Liren waved his hand and said with a smile: "No, it just so happens that there are 52 yuan in the WeChat change."
"I'll just say whatever I want."
Chen Mo put the phone back into his trouser pocket with a smile, and leaned the receipt against the wall, "Wait a minute, I'll write you a receipt~"
Li Liren looked at Chen Mo's dog-climbing characters, and felt awkward no matter how he looked at them, so he only wrote a few words. When he wrote his name, Chen Mo stopped.
"Let me see what your name is..."
"Li Liren."
"Oh... let me see..."
Chen Mo didn't bother, took out his mobile phone, looked at the verification message sent by Li Weiren just now, looked at it, and wrote Li Weiren's name stroke by stroke.
Li Liren didn't say anything, he knew that the word "浬" in his name was not a common word, and many people had never written it.
After Chen Mo finished writing the receipt, he tore it off and handed it to Li Liren: "Keep it away! Maybe it will be installed someday!"
"...What is uncertainty?" Li Liren was stunned for a while.
Chen Mo scratched his head: "Hehe, everyone is not very motivated to pay. I took two units, and I only paid three households including myself."
"..."
The corners of Li Liren's eyes twitched, and the money didn't even make a splash when he threw it out, so there was no more to say.
"It's okay! Our neighborhood committee will definitely find a solution! You have to have confidence in us! If it doesn't work, I will refund the money!"
Li Liren suddenly wanted to laugh, 50 yuan was a little bit of money for him, but he just thought that Chen Mo, who looked like a ruffian and was a bit of a fool, was cute when he was serious?
The two chatted for a while, and Chen Mo heard an aunt downstairs coming back from dancing in the square, talking very excitedly, so he said goodbye to Li Liren in a hurry, and rushed down again like a gust of wind.
Li Liren closed the door, sat on the off-white fabric sofa, clicked on Chen Mo's WeChat profile picture, looked at the big picture, then sneaked into Chen Mo's circle of friends, and looked through it again.
Because Chen Mo’s mobile phone is as slow as a tractor, he doesn’t usually take pictures. He only sends a few text messages about his status. There are no photos, and the texts are nothing more than complaints about how busy he is recently, how poor he is, or reposting their restaurants. menu, and invite everyone to order more in the circle of friends.
Li Liren wanted to see a few more photos, but he didn't see them, so he casually clicked on the menu posted by Chen Mo, and then silently saved it. After quitting Moments, he sent a message to Chen Mo: "I can shoot you directly in the future. Do you want to order food?"
Now Chen Mo successfully collected money from another household. He found out that the aunt came back from the dance in such a good mood that she didn't even blink when she paid. He wanted to go directly to the square to collect money. As long as he could He is happy to let him lead the dance after receiving the money.
After Chen Mo collected the money, he found that there was an unread message on his phone, and he clicked on it to see that it belonged to Li Liren.
Chen Mo replied: "Yes, our menu will hardly change, because there are only a few chefs."
After speaking, he transferred another menu to Li Liren.
Li Liren: "Do you have any recommended dishes?"
Chen Mo thought for a while: "Sweet and sour pork ribs, braised tenderloin, garlic eggplant, and mapo tofu!"
Li Liren: "Have you eaten it yourself?"
Chen Mo replied with a smile: "Hey, I made these."
Li Liren raised his eyebrows and replied, "Are you a chef?"
Chen Mo: "That's right. When there is not enough manpower, I will help out. I usually do odd jobs and deliver meals."
Li Liren: "Then can I appoint you to cook? If it is suitable, I will always order food from you, lunch and dinner, and pay one month in advance."
Chen Mo: "Haha! Of course you can! You are considered a big customer! I will tell the boss tomorrow!"
Chen Mo looked at the phone screen and smiled. They all get extra commission for cooking and delivering meals. Although it is not much, it is good to earn more. Moreover, Chen Mo likes cooking from the bottom of his heart. His lofty ideal was to serve the United States. The president is a chef, and it is much happier to let him cook than to let him carry the dishes and wash the dishes.
Now, although he doesn't even have the money to buy a plane ticket to the United States, at least he is a skilled person. When he is wandering around, he can find a job as a boy in restaurants of all sizes, earning some money to barely support himself. Own.
Suddenly receiving a big business order made Chen Mo feel as if he had been beaten to death. His eyesight soared. Through the dark window, he could see an old man downstairs coming back from practicing Tai Chi at night, and then he went out with a loud voice: "Mr. Wait for me!"
Then rushed down to grab money.
When he returned to his rented house, Chen Mo flipped through the written receipts and made the calculations. His mouth was worn overnight, and he was almost eaten tofu by a middle-aged widow, so he collected less than ten households' money. , a bit miserable.
"Fifty, one hundred, one hundred and fifty... three hundred... wrote eight..."
"That's not right!" Chen Mo was taken aback, and he quickly flipped through the bottom of the receipt, "I have collected money from eight households in total, including the fifty wechat brother gave just now, it should be four hundred! How little is that?" Fifty??"
Chen Mo was stunned again: "Damn! I wouldn't memorize that way, would I? I didn't get my salary when I first took office, so I went bankrupt first?"
Fifty is simply an astronomical number for him, the kind that can put him in financial crisis at any time.
Chen Mo threw the receipt on the sofa, then ran back to the kitchen and picked up the stone he used to sharpen the kitchen knife and slapped it on the table. The 300 yuan was firmly held down, and he ran out to find the money with a groan.
In the dark, Chen Mo sneaked around the corridors of several units and the compound of the community several times, but he failed to find out the 50 yuan.
"It's over, it's over! I have to pay for this meeting!" Chen Mo muttered, "Let's just say that the neighborhood committee has a lot of troubles! Well, everyone is used to smearing and climbing stairs. If you want to install some voice-activated lights, you just shout at him." Shouting loudly, isn't that superfluous!"
Unwilling to give up, Chen Mo walked to the first unit again. He remembered that there was a corner where there were piles of sundries, and that was where he almost tripped just now. Maybe the fifty bills were discarded at that time. he went.
When he came to the edge of the debris pile, Chen Mo squatted down and moved things out bit by bit, groping in the dark, even the newspapers from ten years ago were found, but he couldn't find the money.
He sighed, moved the things back silently, squatted there and meditated.
After Li Liren watched Chen Mo's circle of friends and decided to order food in the future, he took a box of assorted sushi packed from the Japanese grocery store, put his phone on the coffee table, and clicked on a video website , watching and eating.
Since he didn't sign up as a member, the two and a half minutes of commercials hadn't finished, and he was almost done eating.
Sitting down and drinking a few sips of tea, he threw the lunch box into the trash can, and once he cleaned it up, he planned to go downstairs to take out the trash.
Li Yiren has a habit that trash can never spend the night with him.
Not only that, but no one else can spend the night with him in his house except himself.
A friend came to Dali to play with him before, no matter how close the relationship was, even if he was drunk, he would send him to a nearby inn, and he would be happy to pay for it, anyway, there must be no second person at night at home.
As for the shadows in his heart, there is no such thing, and it is even more unrealistic to be afraid that people will touch him at night.
Li Liren had a shallow sleep, even if someone stood in front of his bed with a kitchen knife, he would wake up immediately, and then take the kitchen knife to fight back.
He just felt a little alienated in his heart. He felt that home was his own private space, and only the person he cared about could spend the night with him here.
Carrying a bag of trash and closing the door, Li Liren walked downstairs in the dark as usual.
When he came to a corner, he lifted his long legs out, and accidentally kicked something fleshy with his toe, which made him startled.
"Hold!"
Chen Mo, who was squatting there in pain, was also frightened to death, shouted, and then jumped up.
At first, Li Liren thought he had kicked a stray dog or cat, but only after hearing the scolding did he realize that he had kicked a living person.
At that moment, he himself panicked, but when he saw that the other party's hair was so ecstatic in the dark, two words flashed in his mind: "Chen Mo?"
"Who are you? Kick my ass!"
From kicking someone to recognizing the opponent, in just a few seconds, Li Liren turned on the screen of the phone, and the faint light illuminated the narrow corner.
It really was that handsome face.
Seeing that it was Li Liren, Chen Mo raised his eyebrows: "Brother WeChat?"
Li Liren smiled faintly: "I'm sorry."
Chen Mo was not really angry, he scratched his pants: "It seems that it is really time to install a voice-activated light, otherwise it is really inconvenient."
Li Liren smiled and said, "You just yelled, and the lights in the entire corridor turned on."
"Is it really that penetrating?"
"Ah."
"Hey," Chen Mo was a little embarrassed, "Didn't I scare you just now?"
"Okay, what are you doing here?"
When Chen Mo was asked, he felt a little embarrassed, but he was straightforward and couldn't hide his words: "Hey, I lost money."
The sky is falling.
Li Liren's first reaction after hearing these words was these three words. The little brother in front of him didn't have a lot of money, so it's strange if he wasn't in a hurry, so he asked with concern: "How much did you lose?"
"Fifty," Chen Mo opened his palm, shaking his five slender fingers in front of Li Liren's eyes, "The money just received."
After Li Liren went downstairs to take out the garbage, he followed Chen Mo to look for it again. Not long after, Chen Mo sighed and wanted to give up.
"Hey, I almost didn't dig the ground."
Li Liren said: "Is it possible that someone picked it up?"
Chen Mo frowned: "It's possible, they were picked up, and I don't expect them to be handed over to the lost and found department of the neighborhood committee."
"There is that thing?"
"Yes," Chen Mo introduced, "There is a water-based pen, an eraser, and a set of May [-] exercises. No one signed it. It's a complete set. I guess some student deliberately threw it away!"
"I'm very focused on my work," Li Liren said with a smile, "I'm working hard now, and I've mastered all these details."
"That box takes up a lot of space, and it's on my desk," Chen Mo said, "It's over, it's over, it seems that the money will never come back."
Li Liren stuffed his hands into his trouser pockets, and then his mind turned: "Have you looked for it at home?"
"No," Chen Mo glared, "That's right, maybe I dropped my phone when I got home! Let's go home and have a look!"
Li Liren followed behind Chen Mo, seeing him trotting all the way in a pair of slippers was a bit funny, so he couldn't help but smile.
When he was standing in front of Chen Mo's house, Li Liren realized that it was his first time visiting a stranger's house.
Chen Mo is still a stranger at this time, right?
Count hey.
Chen Mo’s house is in a unit next to Li Liren’s house. The decoration in the house is a bit outdated, in the style of the 90s. The beams and doors are covered with yellowed wood. It has been worn away for a long time, and it is still fresh. Some gray spots, can not wash off.
However, the house was cleaned up by Chen Mo, especially the kitchen. Li Liren glanced there and found that the kitchen utensils in the kitchen were complete, well washed, and neatly arranged. He could see that, Chen Mo is a person who likes to cook.
The only thing that stands out in the whole room is the brick for sharpening the knife on the dining table.
Chen Mo bent down and checked the floor of the living room, but he still didn't find the money missing.
At this time, Li Liren leaned against the door frame of the kitchen, took out a fifty-dollar bill from his trouser pocket, threw it in, and then pointed to the brick of the dining table: "Have you ever been in the kitchen?"
"Ah," Chen Mo replied, "I've been in."
"Looking for it?"
Chen Mo got up, walked into the kitchen from Li Liren's side, and turned on the light.
Li Liren lowered his eyes slightly, watched Chen Mo walk past him, and found that there was a small whirlpool on the top of his head, and with that exaggerated hairstyle, he gradually became pleasing to the eye.
"Ha! It really fell here!"
Chen Mo picked up the 50 yuan bill on the ground, resisted not kissing it, patted it with his hand, and said, "Brother finally found it!"
"It's good if you find it," Li Liren saw Chen Mo move the brick away, picked up the money on the table and counted it carefully, and he himself picked up the scattered receipts on the sofa. Chen Mo sorted it out, but found Chen Mo's own name in the pile of receipts, so the corner of his mouth curled up, "The receipts are ready."
"Hey, thank you!"
"fine."
Li Liren handed the receipt to Chen Mo and left.
Chen Mo closed the door, still unable to recover from the joy of regaining what was lost.
He put away the money and receipts, took off the sleeveless tights on his upper body, sweated all over, went back to the room and took out a pair of underwear, ran into the toilet to take a bath, humming a song.
"You are my little little apple..."
While singing, Chen Mo stopped rubbing his head, the foam from his hair fell down his bangs and seeped into his eyes, he clicked his tongue in embarrassment, turned around and twisted the shower to wash away the foam .
After washing it, he said to himself, "That's not right...I just entered the kitchen after I found out that I was short of money...Qian grew legs and ran in by himself?"
Chen Mo tilted his head, then hurriedly took a shower, put on a pair of triangles and ran out of the toilet. He picked up the receipt and flipped through it again, only to see his own receipt.
"Fuck..." Chen Mo frowned, "I'm so funny, I forgot that I wrote a receipt for myself, and I haven't paid the money yet."
Chen Mo put down the receipt, picked up the "found" 50 yuan bill just now, looked at it for a while, then picked up the phone, pressed the WeChat interface, clicked on Li Liren's profile picture, and typed a line.
"Is this 50 yuan a red envelope, or tomorrow's meal expenses?"
Chen Mo looked at it, and finally deleted the words one by one without sending them out. He stared at the phone in a daze for a while, remembering what Li Liren said just now, "I don't have enough 50 yuan on me", so he pressed the phone off. , Then went back to the room and took out his wallet from his satchel, took out a few crumpled ten-yuan bills, and replaced Li Liren's fifty-dollar bill.
The excitement was over.
After Chen Mo washed the clothes and the sharpening bricks, he turned off the light and lay down on the bed, with his head resting on his hands and looking at the pitch-black ceiling.
He blinked and blinked, unable to fall asleep, so he picked up his brick machine again, opened WeChat, stared at Li Liren's chat interface for a while, and then typed: "What do you want to eat tomorrow? When it’s fresh, it’s ready for you first!”
He still didn't send it out. He saw that the time was eleven o'clock in the evening, so he was afraid of disturbing Li Liren, so he had to silently turn off the phone, and then looked at the ceiling until he fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, he was woken up by the loud alarm clock on his mobile phone.
Afraid that the ringing time would be delayed by the card, Chen Mo always set the alarm 10 minutes in advance. The phone is so loud that it can be used as the announcement ringtone in school.
Chen Mo's brain was about to be shattered, and he couldn't turn it off for a long time. He was so noisy that he couldn't continue to sleep, so he had to get up, knocked the phone on the bedside table, pressed it again, and the alarm was turned off .
Chen Mo frowned, rubbed his temples with his fingers, and thought, whether this phone is used for fighting or smashing walls, it will definitely work.
After washing and putting on clothes, Chen Mo almost rose at the same time as the sun.
Those who cook meals get up early.
Chen Mo didn't have to be in charge of purchasing ingredients, and he wasn't the first to wake up. The colleagues in charge of the store had to get up and run to the vegetable market in the middle of the night.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Chen Mo helped to clean the tables and chairs, then swept the floor, and opened the door to welcome guests.
Their store opened in Shuanglang, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. The flow of people is a little less than before, and the supper was canceled by the boss.
Those who eat breakfast are tourists from other places who are going to play early, and there are also some shop owners nearby. Although there are not many customers, they are still stable.
Chen Mo greeted the guests to order and served the dishes.
When he came out with two full bowls of hot soybean milk, he saw a boy in a floral shirt and white pants standing at the door.
The boy was not very tall, and was born extremely fair and clean, like a piece of white jade shining under the sun. He had a delicate appearance, which made this pink and blue floral shirt look very good.
He didn't have a bag on his body, Chen Mo couldn't see the smell of a tourist from him, so he walked over and asked with a smile: "What do you want to eat?"
"What do you recommend for breakfast?" The boy looked at Chen Mo a few more times, then looked at the menu on the wall and asked, "My boss recommended me to buy breakfast here, but he didn't say what to buy."
Chen Mo casually recommended a few pastries that were selling well, the boy picked out a few and placed an order, and finally packed them all up and took them away.
Judging from the accent, he is not a local like him. Chen Mo guessed that he probably came here to work and live.
Between seven and eight o'clock in the morning, the bright sunshine has already woken Dali up.
There were not too many pedestrians on the street, Chen Mo greeted the guests who came in in twos and threes, while looking out from time to time, as if looking for someone.
After a table of people got up and left after eating, Chen Mo took away the bowls and chopsticks on the table and wiped the table with a rag. He heard the girls sitting at the next table laughing at him and muttering in a low voice from time to time. .
When Chen Mo looked up, they would turn their heads, their faces were still a little red, whether it was from the sun or something, it was nice to see that they were some students who came to travel.
Chen Mo thought to himself.
After Chen Mo wiped the table and turned back to the kitchen, the little girls laughed again.
"That little brother just now looks so handsome."
"Yeah, only his face can support that hairstyle."
……
Chen Mo's hairstyle was not done by himself, but by a roommate he shared with him when he was living in Guangzhou.
The man worked in a barber shop, and then he designed the hairstyle for him. Although Chen Mo felt that it was hard to explain, but it was free anyway, so he accepted it calmly.
Chen Mo was numb to the girls whispering in private. He walked to the sink, turned on the faucet and concentrated on his work.
Yan Yan went to the pottery shop with a bag of breakfast.
When he arrived, the door was already open, but he had already gotten used to it. After working here for half a year, the boss would always get up earlier than himself.
"Brother Li," Yan Yan walked into the store and saw that Li Liren was wearing a plaid apron and watering the plants in the store with a watering can. He put the breakfast on the coffee table for eating and said, "I bought breakfast for you, eat it while it's hot."
"Well," Li Liren put the watering can on the side of a flower pot, went back to the toilet to wash his hands, and came out to ask, "What did you buy?"
"Meat buns, two pancakes, a deep-fried dough stick, we share half, and two cups of original soy milk."
"Who did it?"
Yan Yan took a bite of the meat bun and puffed her face: "Huh? I don't know. I heard a handsome guy in the store recommend it to me."
"okay."
Li Liren thought about it, yes, it's not a private restaurant, who would ask which chef is cooking.
But Li Liren was relieved when he heard that it was recommended by a handsome guy. He didn't need to think too much about who that person was.
He walked over, took a sip of soy milk, warmed it, and said after swallowing, "I'll eat that one for breakfast from now on. You pass by for work every day and bring me some."
Yan Yan smacked his mouth: "Well, I guess I will change to other restaurants from time to time, and I will get tired if I eat too much."
"You can do whatever you want," Li Liren tore off half of a deep-fried dough stick, took a bite, and said, "I ordered takeaway after lunch and dinner, and they will deliver it directly when the time comes."
Yan Yan swallowed a mouthful of the meat bun: "Don't I need to buy it for you?"
"no need."
"Ok."
Yan Yan didn't think about it any more, that's fine, he can relax himself.
After coming to work in Li Liren's store, Yan Yan found that the boss is good at everything, has a good temper, and is generous, but he is picky about food. Every time he comes back from buying food, he is always in fear.
If Li Liren was dissatisfied with the meal, although he would not lose his temper, he would not eat another bite. He would rather starve himself and feed the leftovers to cats and dogs.
Now that the boss has solved the dining problem by himself, he doesn't have to worry about it anymore.
It was noon.
Li Liren is dealing with a strong offensive from a group of aunts.
When they entered the store, they originally planned to take a casual look and turn on the air conditioner to cool off the heat. They found that the boss was a handsome young man, so they became enthusiastic and asked about the pottery in the store as if they were seeing their future son-in-law. .
Li Liren was warm to the guests, and guessed that they were unlikely to buy, but he still explained patiently.
Yan Yan secretly rolled his eyes a few times, planning to wait for this group of people to leave before going out to find food by himself.As soon as he looked away from his aunt, he saw a small electric donkey parked at the door. The little brother in the car was wearing jeans, with one long leg propped on the ground. After parking the car, He came in with a bag of lunch boxes.
Yan Yan took a closer look, his eyes lit up, what the fuck?Isn't this the handsome guy you saw when you bought breakfast in the morning?
Chen Mo opened the transparent windshield curtain and walked into the store. As soon as he entered, he saw Yan Yan and recognized him at a glance.
Whether it's that ostentatious floral shirt or that delicate face, Yan Yan is highly recognizable among the crowd.
As early as two hours ago, Chen Mo couldn't bear it anymore, and asked Li Liren what he wanted to eat for lunch through WeChat, and at the same time asked for the delivery address, and when it was time, he immediately delivered it himself.
Seeing Yan Yan, he took the initiative to greet Yan Yan with a smile, and then just moved his eyes away from Yan Yan, and when he followed the bursts of laughter, he saw that Comrade Li Liren was almost submerged in the group of aunts.
"..."
Chen Mo intends to save it.
"Boss, boss!"
Chen Mo yelled twice, and when Li Liren turned around to look at him, he waved again: "Your lunch has been delivered!"
"Ah, boy is lunch ready?"
"Then let's not bother, let's find a place to eat, shall we?"
The aunts laughed and said a few words, and when they saw Chen Mo, they smiled and asked: "Young man, send me
Chen Mo: "..."
"Xiao Chen, do a good job, everyone believes in you!"
After a burst of applause, Chen Mo stood up and delivered an inaugural speech under the eager eyes of the elders and aunts.
"Uh... thank you, thank you for your trust in me..." Chen Mo was so nervous that he almost hiccupped, "Although I haven't done a similar job before and lack of exercise, I will definitely study hard and go to work. Do this job well... I believe that our community will be even better, let us build our community into a model unit for the whole city with full spirit!"
Chen Mo talked a lot, fooling the little old man and the old lady present.
"I didn't expect that, Xiao Chen looks so young and speaks in a different way."
"It looks good!"
"My daughter is the right age for him, let's talk to her later."
Chen Mo: "..."
When he sat down again, Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief and wiped off his sweat. The content of his speech was temporarily published by Baidu, as if it was someone's work report, and he didn't read it carefully.
It’s funny to think about it. Chen Mo is now 20 years old and has been wandering all over the country for many years. He lives here and plays so much. He doesn’t stay in one place for a long time. I bought a room, settled the monthly payment, and was inexplicably elected as a member of the neighborhood committee of this community.
Before this, that is, last week, he was suddenly selected as the title of brother Lou in this unit, because he is handsome and helpful, and the uncles and aunts couldn't think of any good titles, so they randomly tossed a brother Lou out.
Therefore, he is quite popular and directly stood out in the general election of the neighborhood committee.
He participated in the election entirely because he heard that he was helping the neighborhood committee, and he was given a monthly subsidy for water and electricity. Now he lacks nothing but money. The capitalized word poor is engraved on his forehead, so he has to work for a nearby family except during the day. He works part-time in a restaurant and has to engage in a side job in his spare time, otherwise he will not be happy and will be expelled from the earth.
Chen Mo once thought pessimistically whether he would become a boy standing on the street, but his face and body were so capable, even if he distributed a leaflet, his efficiency would be much higher than others.
After the meeting ended, Aunt Wang of the neighborhood committee assigned Chen Mo his first task since taking up the post, collecting money.
Chen Mo was dumbfounded.
It's good to do anything, even if it's ideological work, it's better than collecting money.
It is absolutely hateful for people to pay for it, especially if it is handed over to the neighborhood committee.
"Look, Xiao Chen," Aunt Wang yelled at the meeting, still out of breath, "The lights in our corridor are still outdated hand-controlled lights, and the switch, you press until the wall collapses, The lights didn't come on either."
Chen Mo: "..."
Isn't it?
During the month that Chen Mo lived here, he climbed the stairs every night in smear. Sometimes when he met someone, it was like seeing a ghost, and he couldn't see clearly.
"So our neighborhood committee plans to do a considerate thing for the residents, replacing all the lights with the latest voice-activated lights!"
Chen Mo slandered a bit, if he really did something caring, wouldn't it be enough for the neighborhood committee to directly allocate funds?What is the fee? He has seen it before. In the past month, the neighborhood committee has proposed all kinds of whimsical plans, from installing elevators to building a musical fountain downstairs. During the discussion, everyone responded enthusiastically. Collect the money and pack up and leave.
But it shouldn't cost much to install the voice-activated lights. Chen Mo thought it wouldn't be difficult to collect this amount of money, so he agreed.
The office of the neighborhood committee was set up in an old warehouse in the community, and a canopy was set up next to it as a conference room and activity room. Fold the receipts, and plan to start harvesting leeks tonight.
Xiao Chen Mo, who has just started working, is as lively as a jumping duckling, bumping a few times when he walks.
He knocked on the door one by one, some people saw him through the cat's eyes, a handsome guy, they would open the door and ask him what he was doing, but as soon as he opened his mouth to collect money, all kinds of reasons came up.
Why is there no change at home, someone was hospitalized, and it was stolen a few days ago, and all of my house was stolen. He knocked on a unit, and only received the money from one unit.
The news quickly spread in the residents' WeChat group, so when they came to the second unit, everyone with the lights on pretended that there was no one in the house, and the grumpy shouted "asleep" and sent him away.
Chen Mo climbed from the first floor to the top floor, and no one opened the door to see his beauty, which made him sigh.
Hey, what's the matter!Why is this job so difficult to carry out!It is agreed that everyone will face up and down together!
Holding the receipt, Chen Mo looked like a deflated ball, sweeping away the excitement at the beginning.Walking down the stairs, halfway through, I happened to see a tall and thin boy open the door and was about to close it.
Chen Mo himself is 1.8 meters four, and his figure is quite standard. He walks like a supermodel, which is eye-catching.
And the handsome guy in front of him is taller than him, more than 1.9 meters by visual measurement, he can't see his face clearly, there is no light, and he should be able to see it after changing the voice-activated light.
"Hey," Chen Mo didn't give up, jumped down from the stairs in three steps at a time, and came to the door before the handsome guy closed the door, "Brother, hey, I have something to tell you!"
"Ok?"
Li Liren moved a few steps into the room vigilantly, and grabbed the broom beside the door. He couldn't see Chen Mo's face clearly, but felt that Chen Mo's flamboyant hairstyle didn't look like a good person. He thought Chen Mo was here to steal money and sex.
"I'm Chen Mo, who just took office in the neighborhood committee. Er, I just want to discuss something with you."
Chen Mo had a long night of closed doors, and he had a long memory. He planned not to raise the money straight to the point, but to do ideological work first, and then raise the money after the residents themselves supported the plan of installing voice-activated lights from the bottom of their hearts.
"Chen Mo?"
Li Liren muttered.
"Yeah, that's me."
"do not know."
"..."
He didn't know where Li Liren's neighborhood committee was, or if there was a neighborhood committee in this community, let alone who Chen Mo was.
He pressed the switch in the living room, and the soft light came on, reflecting on Chen Mo. It was the first time in Li Weiren's life that he saw Chen Mo. At that moment, his eyes were shining.
Apart from Chen Mo's avant-garde hairstyle, which was hard for Li Yiren to accept, he really had no choice.Although the smile on his face was a bit ruffian, it was very attractive.
very nice.
Although he is a bit rustic handsome, he can go to heaven at any time.
Chen Mo is not as tall as Li Liren himself, but he is not bad, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. The key is that Chen Mo is wearing a sleeveless tight top and trousers at the moment, making his smooth arms She and her legs are exposed, with a little bit of muscle, but she looks thinner.
Li Liren couldn't help swallowing.
The only thing that made Li Liren want to deduct points was the flip flops worn by Chen Mo, which were too casual, but there was a red string tied on Chen Mo's right ankle, with a red bean strung on it, his feet were clean , when shaking his legs, the small beads flickered and hit his clean skin, and the deducted points were added back.
Still full marks.
Li Liren felt that the handsome young man in front of him was very attractive, and couldn't help looking away.
Chen Mo saw that Li Liren was looking at his feet, so he lifted it up, pointed at it, and said, "The one that has been opened, this red bean is a good fortune."
Li Liren: "..."
What a joke.
Zhaocai, you still look so poor, did you buy this dress from a night market stall?The sum is not as expensive as my underpants.
Li Liren wanted to laugh a little.
Chen Mo saw that Li Liren did not refuse to close the door himself, so he introduced with a smile: "Brother, you have also seen that it is inconvenient not to have a light in the corridor, and the switch, if you press it forever, the light will not turn on." .”
Li Liren raised his eyes: "Is there a light in the corridor?"
Chen Mo was taken aback: "There are...but they don't work anymore. After discussion, the neighborhood committee decided to replace them with voice-activated lights in the corridors."
Li Liren smiled faintly: "Really? Very good, I firmly support the correct leadership of the neighborhood committee."
Chen Mo saw that there was something going on, and stretched out his hand: "Pay the money."
"..."
Li Liren frowned, good-looking does not mean that there is no problem, he looked at Chen Mo carefully, and asked: "Are you really from the neighborhood committee? You look quite young."
Anyway, it's definitely not a salesman. The salesman's dress is not as elegant as he is, but he may be a liar.
Nowadays, many scammers are good-looking, which can easily break people's defenses.
But with Chen Mo like this, Li Liren is willing to be cheated once.
"Ah, I am." Chen Mo took out his brand-new work card from his trouser pocket, "Here, look, brother is indeed young, he is young and promising."
Li Liren took the job card and glanced at the photo above. It was a photo sticker. This unnatural hairstyle can’t be mistaken. It was him. After checking that there was no problem with the documents, he didn’t say much, and asked directly: “Do you need to pay?” How many?"
"Fifty per household."
"wait."
Li Liren took out his wallet from his satchel and found that there were several [-]'s in it. He closed it silently, opened his eyes and said nonsense: "There is no change."
Chen Mo: "It's okay, I can find it for you."
Li Liren said again: "I mean, I don't have fifty cash on me."
"Ah," Chen Mo was vigilant, this person probably wanted to evade the order, so he said, "It doesn't matter if you don't have cash, just give me Alipay and WeChat."
Li Liren raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Success, then I will add you as a friend on WeChat and send you a red envelope."
"Row!"
Chen Mo took out his mobile phone, he pressed it for a long time, the screen was almost broken, and then he pressed his QR code: "You scan me, my camera doesn't work well, it takes a long time to get stuck."
"……no problem."
Li Liren scanned Chen Mo's QR code and sent out a request to add "My name is Li Liren", which is a self-introduction.
After another half a day, Chen Mo almost lost his temper because of the phone card, before he approved the application.
Li Liren looked at Chen Mo's profile picture. It was a selfie of Chen Mo himself. It was super pretty and easy to recognize.
He sent a red envelope: "You take it."
"Okay, wait a minute," Chen Mo tapped his fingers several times before the phone responded, "Huh? 52 yuan? Give me more!"
"No," Li Liren smiled, "Seeing that the date of your work permit is today, the new official will take office, and I will give you some prizes."
"Two yuan? How dare you bribe me from the beginning?" Chen Mo also laughed, "You still think I'm a dick?"
Li Liren waved his hand and said with a smile: "No, it just so happens that there are 52 yuan in the WeChat change."
"I'll just say whatever I want."
Chen Mo put the phone back into his trouser pocket with a smile, and leaned the receipt against the wall, "Wait a minute, I'll write you a receipt~"
Li Liren looked at Chen Mo's dog-climbing characters, and felt awkward no matter how he looked at them, so he only wrote a few words. When he wrote his name, Chen Mo stopped.
"Let me see what your name is..."
"Li Liren."
"Oh... let me see..."
Chen Mo didn't bother, took out his mobile phone, looked at the verification message sent by Li Weiren just now, looked at it, and wrote Li Weiren's name stroke by stroke.
Li Liren didn't say anything, he knew that the word "浬" in his name was not a common word, and many people had never written it.
After Chen Mo finished writing the receipt, he tore it off and handed it to Li Liren: "Keep it away! Maybe it will be installed someday!"
"...What is uncertainty?" Li Liren was stunned for a while.
Chen Mo scratched his head: "Hehe, everyone is not very motivated to pay. I took two units, and I only paid three households including myself."
"..."
The corners of Li Liren's eyes twitched, and the money didn't even make a splash when he threw it out, so there was no more to say.
"It's okay! Our neighborhood committee will definitely find a solution! You have to have confidence in us! If it doesn't work, I will refund the money!"
Li Liren suddenly wanted to laugh, 50 yuan was a little bit of money for him, but he just thought that Chen Mo, who looked like a ruffian and was a bit of a fool, was cute when he was serious?
The two chatted for a while, and Chen Mo heard an aunt downstairs coming back from dancing in the square, talking very excitedly, so he said goodbye to Li Liren in a hurry, and rushed down again like a gust of wind.
Li Liren closed the door, sat on the off-white fabric sofa, clicked on Chen Mo's WeChat profile picture, looked at the big picture, then sneaked into Chen Mo's circle of friends, and looked through it again.
Because Chen Mo’s mobile phone is as slow as a tractor, he doesn’t usually take pictures. He only sends a few text messages about his status. There are no photos, and the texts are nothing more than complaints about how busy he is recently, how poor he is, or reposting their restaurants. menu, and invite everyone to order more in the circle of friends.
Li Liren wanted to see a few more photos, but he didn't see them, so he casually clicked on the menu posted by Chen Mo, and then silently saved it. After quitting Moments, he sent a message to Chen Mo: "I can shoot you directly in the future. Do you want to order food?"
Now Chen Mo successfully collected money from another household. He found out that the aunt came back from the dance in such a good mood that she didn't even blink when she paid. He wanted to go directly to the square to collect money. As long as he could He is happy to let him lead the dance after receiving the money.
After Chen Mo collected the money, he found that there was an unread message on his phone, and he clicked on it to see that it belonged to Li Liren.
Chen Mo replied: "Yes, our menu will hardly change, because there are only a few chefs."
After speaking, he transferred another menu to Li Liren.
Li Liren: "Do you have any recommended dishes?"
Chen Mo thought for a while: "Sweet and sour pork ribs, braised tenderloin, garlic eggplant, and mapo tofu!"
Li Liren: "Have you eaten it yourself?"
Chen Mo replied with a smile: "Hey, I made these."
Li Liren raised his eyebrows and replied, "Are you a chef?"
Chen Mo: "That's right. When there is not enough manpower, I will help out. I usually do odd jobs and deliver meals."
Li Liren: "Then can I appoint you to cook? If it is suitable, I will always order food from you, lunch and dinner, and pay one month in advance."
Chen Mo: "Haha! Of course you can! You are considered a big customer! I will tell the boss tomorrow!"
Chen Mo looked at the phone screen and smiled. They all get extra commission for cooking and delivering meals. Although it is not much, it is good to earn more. Moreover, Chen Mo likes cooking from the bottom of his heart. His lofty ideal was to serve the United States. The president is a chef, and it is much happier to let him cook than to let him carry the dishes and wash the dishes.
Now, although he doesn't even have the money to buy a plane ticket to the United States, at least he is a skilled person. When he is wandering around, he can find a job as a boy in restaurants of all sizes, earning some money to barely support himself. Own.
Suddenly receiving a big business order made Chen Mo feel as if he had been beaten to death. His eyesight soared. Through the dark window, he could see an old man downstairs coming back from practicing Tai Chi at night, and then he went out with a loud voice: "Mr. Wait for me!"
Then rushed down to grab money.
When he returned to his rented house, Chen Mo flipped through the written receipts and made the calculations. His mouth was worn overnight, and he was almost eaten tofu by a middle-aged widow, so he collected less than ten households' money. , a bit miserable.
"Fifty, one hundred, one hundred and fifty... three hundred... wrote eight..."
"That's not right!" Chen Mo was taken aback, and he quickly flipped through the bottom of the receipt, "I have collected money from eight households in total, including the fifty wechat brother gave just now, it should be four hundred! How little is that?" Fifty??"
Chen Mo was stunned again: "Damn! I wouldn't memorize that way, would I? I didn't get my salary when I first took office, so I went bankrupt first?"
Fifty is simply an astronomical number for him, the kind that can put him in financial crisis at any time.
Chen Mo threw the receipt on the sofa, then ran back to the kitchen and picked up the stone he used to sharpen the kitchen knife and slapped it on the table. The 300 yuan was firmly held down, and he ran out to find the money with a groan.
In the dark, Chen Mo sneaked around the corridors of several units and the compound of the community several times, but he failed to find out the 50 yuan.
"It's over, it's over! I have to pay for this meeting!" Chen Mo muttered, "Let's just say that the neighborhood committee has a lot of troubles! Well, everyone is used to smearing and climbing stairs. If you want to install some voice-activated lights, you just shout at him." Shouting loudly, isn't that superfluous!"
Unwilling to give up, Chen Mo walked to the first unit again. He remembered that there was a corner where there were piles of sundries, and that was where he almost tripped just now. Maybe the fifty bills were discarded at that time. he went.
When he came to the edge of the debris pile, Chen Mo squatted down and moved things out bit by bit, groping in the dark, even the newspapers from ten years ago were found, but he couldn't find the money.
He sighed, moved the things back silently, squatted there and meditated.
After Li Liren watched Chen Mo's circle of friends and decided to order food in the future, he took a box of assorted sushi packed from the Japanese grocery store, put his phone on the coffee table, and clicked on a video website , watching and eating.
Since he didn't sign up as a member, the two and a half minutes of commercials hadn't finished, and he was almost done eating.
Sitting down and drinking a few sips of tea, he threw the lunch box into the trash can, and once he cleaned it up, he planned to go downstairs to take out the trash.
Li Yiren has a habit that trash can never spend the night with him.
Not only that, but no one else can spend the night with him in his house except himself.
A friend came to Dali to play with him before, no matter how close the relationship was, even if he was drunk, he would send him to a nearby inn, and he would be happy to pay for it, anyway, there must be no second person at night at home.
As for the shadows in his heart, there is no such thing, and it is even more unrealistic to be afraid that people will touch him at night.
Li Liren had a shallow sleep, even if someone stood in front of his bed with a kitchen knife, he would wake up immediately, and then take the kitchen knife to fight back.
He just felt a little alienated in his heart. He felt that home was his own private space, and only the person he cared about could spend the night with him here.
Carrying a bag of trash and closing the door, Li Liren walked downstairs in the dark as usual.
When he came to a corner, he lifted his long legs out, and accidentally kicked something fleshy with his toe, which made him startled.
"Hold!"
Chen Mo, who was squatting there in pain, was also frightened to death, shouted, and then jumped up.
At first, Li Liren thought he had kicked a stray dog or cat, but only after hearing the scolding did he realize that he had kicked a living person.
At that moment, he himself panicked, but when he saw that the other party's hair was so ecstatic in the dark, two words flashed in his mind: "Chen Mo?"
"Who are you? Kick my ass!"
From kicking someone to recognizing the opponent, in just a few seconds, Li Liren turned on the screen of the phone, and the faint light illuminated the narrow corner.
It really was that handsome face.
Seeing that it was Li Liren, Chen Mo raised his eyebrows: "Brother WeChat?"
Li Liren smiled faintly: "I'm sorry."
Chen Mo was not really angry, he scratched his pants: "It seems that it is really time to install a voice-activated light, otherwise it is really inconvenient."
Li Liren smiled and said, "You just yelled, and the lights in the entire corridor turned on."
"Is it really that penetrating?"
"Ah."
"Hey," Chen Mo was a little embarrassed, "Didn't I scare you just now?"
"Okay, what are you doing here?"
When Chen Mo was asked, he felt a little embarrassed, but he was straightforward and couldn't hide his words: "Hey, I lost money."
The sky is falling.
Li Liren's first reaction after hearing these words was these three words. The little brother in front of him didn't have a lot of money, so it's strange if he wasn't in a hurry, so he asked with concern: "How much did you lose?"
"Fifty," Chen Mo opened his palm, shaking his five slender fingers in front of Li Liren's eyes, "The money just received."
After Li Liren went downstairs to take out the garbage, he followed Chen Mo to look for it again. Not long after, Chen Mo sighed and wanted to give up.
"Hey, I almost didn't dig the ground."
Li Liren said: "Is it possible that someone picked it up?"
Chen Mo frowned: "It's possible, they were picked up, and I don't expect them to be handed over to the lost and found department of the neighborhood committee."
"There is that thing?"
"Yes," Chen Mo introduced, "There is a water-based pen, an eraser, and a set of May [-] exercises. No one signed it. It's a complete set. I guess some student deliberately threw it away!"
"I'm very focused on my work," Li Liren said with a smile, "I'm working hard now, and I've mastered all these details."
"That box takes up a lot of space, and it's on my desk," Chen Mo said, "It's over, it's over, it seems that the money will never come back."
Li Liren stuffed his hands into his trouser pockets, and then his mind turned: "Have you looked for it at home?"
"No," Chen Mo glared, "That's right, maybe I dropped my phone when I got home! Let's go home and have a look!"
Li Liren followed behind Chen Mo, seeing him trotting all the way in a pair of slippers was a bit funny, so he couldn't help but smile.
When he was standing in front of Chen Mo's house, Li Liren realized that it was his first time visiting a stranger's house.
Chen Mo is still a stranger at this time, right?
Count hey.
Chen Mo’s house is in a unit next to Li Liren’s house. The decoration in the house is a bit outdated, in the style of the 90s. The beams and doors are covered with yellowed wood. It has been worn away for a long time, and it is still fresh. Some gray spots, can not wash off.
However, the house was cleaned up by Chen Mo, especially the kitchen. Li Liren glanced there and found that the kitchen utensils in the kitchen were complete, well washed, and neatly arranged. He could see that, Chen Mo is a person who likes to cook.
The only thing that stands out in the whole room is the brick for sharpening the knife on the dining table.
Chen Mo bent down and checked the floor of the living room, but he still didn't find the money missing.
At this time, Li Liren leaned against the door frame of the kitchen, took out a fifty-dollar bill from his trouser pocket, threw it in, and then pointed to the brick of the dining table: "Have you ever been in the kitchen?"
"Ah," Chen Mo replied, "I've been in."
"Looking for it?"
Chen Mo got up, walked into the kitchen from Li Liren's side, and turned on the light.
Li Liren lowered his eyes slightly, watched Chen Mo walk past him, and found that there was a small whirlpool on the top of his head, and with that exaggerated hairstyle, he gradually became pleasing to the eye.
"Ha! It really fell here!"
Chen Mo picked up the 50 yuan bill on the ground, resisted not kissing it, patted it with his hand, and said, "Brother finally found it!"
"It's good if you find it," Li Liren saw Chen Mo move the brick away, picked up the money on the table and counted it carefully, and he himself picked up the scattered receipts on the sofa. Chen Mo sorted it out, but found Chen Mo's own name in the pile of receipts, so the corner of his mouth curled up, "The receipts are ready."
"Hey, thank you!"
"fine."
Li Liren handed the receipt to Chen Mo and left.
Chen Mo closed the door, still unable to recover from the joy of regaining what was lost.
He put away the money and receipts, took off the sleeveless tights on his upper body, sweated all over, went back to the room and took out a pair of underwear, ran into the toilet to take a bath, humming a song.
"You are my little little apple..."
While singing, Chen Mo stopped rubbing his head, the foam from his hair fell down his bangs and seeped into his eyes, he clicked his tongue in embarrassment, turned around and twisted the shower to wash away the foam .
After washing it, he said to himself, "That's not right...I just entered the kitchen after I found out that I was short of money...Qian grew legs and ran in by himself?"
Chen Mo tilted his head, then hurriedly took a shower, put on a pair of triangles and ran out of the toilet. He picked up the receipt and flipped through it again, only to see his own receipt.
"Fuck..." Chen Mo frowned, "I'm so funny, I forgot that I wrote a receipt for myself, and I haven't paid the money yet."
Chen Mo put down the receipt, picked up the "found" 50 yuan bill just now, looked at it for a while, then picked up the phone, pressed the WeChat interface, clicked on Li Liren's profile picture, and typed a line.
"Is this 50 yuan a red envelope, or tomorrow's meal expenses?"
Chen Mo looked at it, and finally deleted the words one by one without sending them out. He stared at the phone in a daze for a while, remembering what Li Liren said just now, "I don't have enough 50 yuan on me", so he pressed the phone off. , Then went back to the room and took out his wallet from his satchel, took out a few crumpled ten-yuan bills, and replaced Li Liren's fifty-dollar bill.
The excitement was over.
After Chen Mo washed the clothes and the sharpening bricks, he turned off the light and lay down on the bed, with his head resting on his hands and looking at the pitch-black ceiling.
He blinked and blinked, unable to fall asleep, so he picked up his brick machine again, opened WeChat, stared at Li Liren's chat interface for a while, and then typed: "What do you want to eat tomorrow? When it’s fresh, it’s ready for you first!”
He still didn't send it out. He saw that the time was eleven o'clock in the evening, so he was afraid of disturbing Li Liren, so he had to silently turn off the phone, and then looked at the ceiling until he fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, he was woken up by the loud alarm clock on his mobile phone.
Afraid that the ringing time would be delayed by the card, Chen Mo always set the alarm 10 minutes in advance. The phone is so loud that it can be used as the announcement ringtone in school.
Chen Mo's brain was about to be shattered, and he couldn't turn it off for a long time. He was so noisy that he couldn't continue to sleep, so he had to get up, knocked the phone on the bedside table, pressed it again, and the alarm was turned off .
Chen Mo frowned, rubbed his temples with his fingers, and thought, whether this phone is used for fighting or smashing walls, it will definitely work.
After washing and putting on clothes, Chen Mo almost rose at the same time as the sun.
Those who cook meals get up early.
Chen Mo didn't have to be in charge of purchasing ingredients, and he wasn't the first to wake up. The colleagues in charge of the store had to get up and run to the vegetable market in the middle of the night.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Chen Mo helped to clean the tables and chairs, then swept the floor, and opened the door to welcome guests.
Their store opened in Shuanglang, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. The flow of people is a little less than before, and the supper was canceled by the boss.
Those who eat breakfast are tourists from other places who are going to play early, and there are also some shop owners nearby. Although there are not many customers, they are still stable.
Chen Mo greeted the guests to order and served the dishes.
When he came out with two full bowls of hot soybean milk, he saw a boy in a floral shirt and white pants standing at the door.
The boy was not very tall, and was born extremely fair and clean, like a piece of white jade shining under the sun. He had a delicate appearance, which made this pink and blue floral shirt look very good.
He didn't have a bag on his body, Chen Mo couldn't see the smell of a tourist from him, so he walked over and asked with a smile: "What do you want to eat?"
"What do you recommend for breakfast?" The boy looked at Chen Mo a few more times, then looked at the menu on the wall and asked, "My boss recommended me to buy breakfast here, but he didn't say what to buy."
Chen Mo casually recommended a few pastries that were selling well, the boy picked out a few and placed an order, and finally packed them all up and took them away.
Judging from the accent, he is not a local like him. Chen Mo guessed that he probably came here to work and live.
Between seven and eight o'clock in the morning, the bright sunshine has already woken Dali up.
There were not too many pedestrians on the street, Chen Mo greeted the guests who came in in twos and threes, while looking out from time to time, as if looking for someone.
After a table of people got up and left after eating, Chen Mo took away the bowls and chopsticks on the table and wiped the table with a rag. He heard the girls sitting at the next table laughing at him and muttering in a low voice from time to time. .
When Chen Mo looked up, they would turn their heads, their faces were still a little red, whether it was from the sun or something, it was nice to see that they were some students who came to travel.
Chen Mo thought to himself.
After Chen Mo wiped the table and turned back to the kitchen, the little girls laughed again.
"That little brother just now looks so handsome."
"Yeah, only his face can support that hairstyle."
……
Chen Mo's hairstyle was not done by himself, but by a roommate he shared with him when he was living in Guangzhou.
The man worked in a barber shop, and then he designed the hairstyle for him. Although Chen Mo felt that it was hard to explain, but it was free anyway, so he accepted it calmly.
Chen Mo was numb to the girls whispering in private. He walked to the sink, turned on the faucet and concentrated on his work.
Yan Yan went to the pottery shop with a bag of breakfast.
When he arrived, the door was already open, but he had already gotten used to it. After working here for half a year, the boss would always get up earlier than himself.
"Brother Li," Yan Yan walked into the store and saw that Li Liren was wearing a plaid apron and watering the plants in the store with a watering can. He put the breakfast on the coffee table for eating and said, "I bought breakfast for you, eat it while it's hot."
"Well," Li Liren put the watering can on the side of a flower pot, went back to the toilet to wash his hands, and came out to ask, "What did you buy?"
"Meat buns, two pancakes, a deep-fried dough stick, we share half, and two cups of original soy milk."
"Who did it?"
Yan Yan took a bite of the meat bun and puffed her face: "Huh? I don't know. I heard a handsome guy in the store recommend it to me."
"okay."
Li Liren thought about it, yes, it's not a private restaurant, who would ask which chef is cooking.
But Li Liren was relieved when he heard that it was recommended by a handsome guy. He didn't need to think too much about who that person was.
He walked over, took a sip of soy milk, warmed it, and said after swallowing, "I'll eat that one for breakfast from now on. You pass by for work every day and bring me some."
Yan Yan smacked his mouth: "Well, I guess I will change to other restaurants from time to time, and I will get tired if I eat too much."
"You can do whatever you want," Li Liren tore off half of a deep-fried dough stick, took a bite, and said, "I ordered takeaway after lunch and dinner, and they will deliver it directly when the time comes."
Yan Yan swallowed a mouthful of the meat bun: "Don't I need to buy it for you?"
"no need."
"Ok."
Yan Yan didn't think about it any more, that's fine, he can relax himself.
After coming to work in Li Liren's store, Yan Yan found that the boss is good at everything, has a good temper, and is generous, but he is picky about food. Every time he comes back from buying food, he is always in fear.
If Li Liren was dissatisfied with the meal, although he would not lose his temper, he would not eat another bite. He would rather starve himself and feed the leftovers to cats and dogs.
Now that the boss has solved the dining problem by himself, he doesn't have to worry about it anymore.
It was noon.
Li Liren is dealing with a strong offensive from a group of aunts.
When they entered the store, they originally planned to take a casual look and turn on the air conditioner to cool off the heat. They found that the boss was a handsome young man, so they became enthusiastic and asked about the pottery in the store as if they were seeing their future son-in-law. .
Li Liren was warm to the guests, and guessed that they were unlikely to buy, but he still explained patiently.
Yan Yan secretly rolled his eyes a few times, planning to wait for this group of people to leave before going out to find food by himself.As soon as he looked away from his aunt, he saw a small electric donkey parked at the door. The little brother in the car was wearing jeans, with one long leg propped on the ground. After parking the car, He came in with a bag of lunch boxes.
Yan Yan took a closer look, his eyes lit up, what the fuck?Isn't this the handsome guy you saw when you bought breakfast in the morning?
Chen Mo opened the transparent windshield curtain and walked into the store. As soon as he entered, he saw Yan Yan and recognized him at a glance.
Whether it's that ostentatious floral shirt or that delicate face, Yan Yan is highly recognizable among the crowd.
As early as two hours ago, Chen Mo couldn't bear it anymore, and asked Li Liren what he wanted to eat for lunch through WeChat, and at the same time asked for the delivery address, and when it was time, he immediately delivered it himself.
Seeing Yan Yan, he took the initiative to greet Yan Yan with a smile, and then just moved his eyes away from Yan Yan, and when he followed the bursts of laughter, he saw that Comrade Li Liren was almost submerged in the group of aunts.
"..."
Chen Mo intends to save it.
"Boss, boss!"
Chen Mo yelled twice, and when Li Liren turned around to look at him, he waved again: "Your lunch has been delivered!"
"Ah, boy is lunch ready?"
"Then let's not bother, let's find a place to eat, shall we?"
The aunts laughed and said a few words, and when they saw Chen Mo, they smiled and asked: "Young man, send me
