The children were playing around, the women were chatting about their parents' quarrels, and several aunts were talking to Jiang Xiaoyan about some taboos about pregnancy, and the conversation was lively.
On the men's side, except for Uncle Hong who speaks in an official tone, the rest is Chen Hansheng who talks endlessly. Despite his young age, he is no less impressive than Uncle Hong when it comes to bragging.
The night breeze passed by, making every pore of the body feel refreshing. Lu Feng sat there and listened most of the time, with Duo Duo in his arms counting the stars in the sky, and fell asleep without realizing it.
Lu Feng also understood that Uncle Hong used to be the leader of the postal system. He had just retired two years ago and still has some residual power.
Chen Hansheng used to be an iron rice bowl in the postal service. Later, he resigned to do logistics on his own. It must be related to him. He took some orders from the original postal service and became prosperous. In addition, he was able to get both sides of the coin, and his business grew bigger and bigger.
After buying the two-story house here, I became very close to Uncle Hong. I heard from neighbors that a month ago he wanted to ask Uncle Hong to be his godfather, but he was rejected.
Basically, everyone who lives here has something to do with the postal service, so Uncle Hong definitely speaks loudly and everyone has to listen.
It was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and the night was a bit dark, with a hint of coldness. Duo Duo fell asleep, and Lu Feng's legs were a little numb due to the pressure. Lu Feng said: "It's getting late, go to bed early."
Chen Hansheng was a little shaken after drinking. He stood up and supported Uncle Hong and said: "Uncle Hong, let me tell you this, whoever gives the goods to me, I will definitely deliver it. This is a matter of character. If you fail to do it once, your reputation will be bad in the future.
Already......"
Everyone stood up and gathered around Uncle Hong talking. Lu Feng carried Duoduo and walked home. Aunt Liu packed the ladle and Zhou Ya helped to take it back. The meal ended here.
The moonlight was extremely white, and the alley became deserted again. When the tungsten lamp was extinguished, only the remains of the bonfire were left.
Chen Hansheng simply washed up and went to bed. He leaned on the bedside looking at Xiu'er with a hint of drunkenness, and said, "How is it? You have to visit our house in this alley, and no one else can."
"Then Lu Feng is still in business. It's not obvious at all. He's so dumb and can't even say a word." Xiu'er said with a look of disgust on her face: "It's just that Jiang Xiaoyan can boast. I almost bluffed him some time ago. One night
I didn’t even fart while sitting there.”
"At first glance, he looks like an introverted and dull person. Maybe he works outside and rents a yard to support his appearance." Chen Hansheng lay down and said, "Go to sleep."
Lu Feng put Duoduo on the bed, walked out of the room, met Zhang Fengxia, and asked: "In our logistics system, how much of it is provided by ourselves and how much of it uses logistics companies?"
"The local supply is basically self-produced, and some are purchased by buyers. For cross-provincial ones, we cooperate with some companies. The current logistics system is quite chaotic, because this industry is very chaotic." Zhang Fengxia wondered: "How to ask this?"
"Is the loss high?" Lu Feng asked.
"It must be high. Last month, there were 700 TVs and 300 VCDs that couldn't be found. We asked the logistics company to pay for it, but the company ran away. We withheld their deposit, but it couldn't offset our losses."
Zhang Fengxia sighed and said: "The logistics industry is very chaotic now, especially those across provinces. You don't know that there are robbers on the road now."
The phenomenon of road thieves and village tyrants is very normal. It has existed throughout the 1990s. Truck drivers who run trucks all year round, when encountering someone blocking their vehicle in an unfamiliar place, would rather hit the accelerator and crush the person to death than stop the car.
.
Busy highways have also become places where some idle people gather. Not to mention trucks, let’s talk about minibuses in the city. Minibuses in the 1990s were definitely a job. Many cities did not have buses. Minibuses were
The only choice.
If you want to keep this lucrative job, you have to keep all kinds of sticks in the car. If someone stops the car and causes trouble, you can go down and do it. After doing it, you can continue to drive the car and give it away.
Part of the cost of the product lies in logistics, and there is still uncertainty. Lu Feng really wants to solve this problem. Logistics is like blood vessels for enterprises. If the circulation is not smooth or the speed is slow, it will not be possible in the short term.
The problem is that it will be a big problem in the long run.
"Do you have any ideas about logistics?" Zhang Fengxia asked.
"Let's rest first. We'll talk about it when we go to the factory tomorrow." After speaking, Lu Feng walked towards the bedroom.
Jiang Xiaoyan had already changed into her pajamas and was lying on the bed. When she saw Lu Feng come in, she put aside a parenting book in her hand and said, "Chen Hansheng and his wife are quite interesting. I'm going to watch a show this evening."
"It's normal. I was originally the most promising young man in the alley, but you turned out to be so ordinary as soon as you came here. People are all judged by comparison." Lu Feng lay on the bed and looked at her and said, "Don't be too serious.
If it doesn’t work out, let’s move to a villa that’s cleaner!”
"If you don't want to change, it's good. We are familiar with the neighbors." Jiang Xiaoyan rubbed Lu Feng's body, put her arms around her, and said with a smile: "I don't care about Xiu'er, I just think she is quite funny.
"
"How funny? Didn't you let me make money in the first place?" Lu Feng put his hand on the back of his head, looked at her sideways and said, "If I had just started a canning workshop, I would have stopped. Now you are almost the same as her."
"What? How can I be so mean?" Jiang Xiaoyan rolled her eyes at him and rested her head on her chest, her hands a little restless.
"Don't be a hooligan and go to sleep. You are pregnant now." Lu Feng put his hand under the quilt and took her hand out.
"Is it okay to be pregnant?" Jiang Xiaoyan wondered.
"Nonsense, how do you read that parenting book?" Lu Feng said, a little dumbfounded: "What does the child think of me? Dad comes in, dad goes out again, dad comes in again, dad goes out again, this is also considered prenatal education, you know?
?”
"Oh, you are so... shameful." Jiang Xiaoyan pinched him.
"It's not so noisy anymore." Lu Feng looked at her, kissed her on the forehead, and asked, "Do you feel like you have changed as a different person?"
"A different person? What's wrong? Don't you like it?" Jiang Xiaoyan pouted and stuck out her tongue.
Lu Feng burst out laughing, stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, and said with a smile: "You are getting more and more alive, so go to bed quickly and stop making trouble."
"Do you like it?"
"luv't!"
The two of them rested their heads against each other, and their hands and feet under the quilt made small movements from time to time. They talked about some future things, and Jiang Xiaoyan fell into a deep sleep.
She slept particularly sweetly that night. In her dream, she was the happiest woman in the world. Not only did she have two children, her family was harmonious, but as her children grew up, they had a bright future. Everything was so perfect.
.....................
Chen Shufeng didn't sleep so peacefully. He woke up at around seven in the morning. The symptoms of heatstroke had already healed. He was eating breakfast in the restaurant, with Su Yourong sitting opposite him.
"Mr. Chen, everything has been arranged. We will set off in an hour. The tour guide said that the animal migration here is no worse than that on the prairie." Su Yourong said, paying attention to Mr. Chen's expression.
Yesterday, Chen Shufeng felt very unwell and wanted to fly to Europe immediately, and her plan to go to the prairie was also cancelled. Su Yourong spent a long time persuading her to change the plan to go hundreds of kilometers away to watch the migration of animals similar to those in the prairie.
Mr. Chen stirred the coffee with a spoon. He took a sip and felt energetic. He said, "Okay, I'm in good condition. According to your words, I've come here. If today's event is worth the money, I'll be happy."
Let’s go to the grassland too.”
"Your physical comfort is the first priority. I was worried to death yesterday." Su Yourong said with a smile on his face: "If you are happy, I am happy. We will set off in an hour."
An hour later, Su Yourong took Mr. Chen downstairs, got into an off-road vehicle, and a group of eight vehicles sped out of the city.
In the car, Su Yourong explained today's route to Mr. Chen. Park Renqi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, also said a few words from time to time. After arriving at the place, he would transfer to another sightseeing car, which would allow him to drive the car close to the animals.
"We have equipped you with a variety of guns so you can hunt as much as you like. The animals you capture will be taken to the restaurant and eaten in the evening," Pu Renqi introduced.
"Isn't it true that illegal hunting is not allowed in Africa?" Mr. Chen's face showed a bit of eagerness to try.
"Yes, illegal hunting is no longer allowed, but we are legal." Park Renqi explained: "The national restrictions here are very small. As long as you have money, everything is legal. If you think it is illegal, you can spend some money."
Money buys a seat, and you issue an executive order to make it legal."
Mr. Chen laughed, looked at the scenery outside the window and said, "It's great to have money!"
"Yes, here, if you have money, you can really do whatever you want!" After Pu Renqi finished speaking, he looked at Su Yourong thoughtfully.
The car was speeding very fast, basically at about 180 per hour. In less than two hours, it had arrived on a plain. After getting off the car, you could vaguely see a shaking black spot in the distance.
Several local men came over and whispered to Pu Renqi. Pu Renqi said: "There is a migrating army in front of us. It should be bison herds, zebras, wildebeests, rhinos, antelopes, African wild ass, etc., because these food
With the migration of grass animals, tigers, lions, hyenas and other carnivores have also followed, so we may see animals hunting up close, and now we are going to the sightseeing bus.”
"Because we are afraid that too many vehicles will scare the animals, we only go with two vehicles. Mr. Chen, are you hunting?"
"Bring me a gun!" Mr. Chen was so proud at the moment. Compared to the elegant and plain days, this wild life made her feel extremely exciting.
After communicating with the locals for a while, Park Renqi took Mr. Chen and his party to the sightseeing car. There was a shotgun loaded with bullets in the car.
"Mr. Chen, have you ever shot a gun?" Su Yourong asked.
"I played in the shooting gallery." Mr. Chen took the gun and weighed it.
"The recoil is a bit strong. To be on the safe side, why don't we stop playing with guns first?" Su Yourong suggested.
