Rebirth, Starting from 2005

On the first day of work after the beginning of the new year, Yan Xin felt a little uncomfortable.

Even though he had only been away from this community for half a month, he felt a little strange and awkward.

Not even comfortable in uniform.

Now that the temperature is relatively low at night, those who work night shifts have to wear military coats in addition to their uniforms.

Not every security guard has one of those military overcoats, but there are only a dozen or so in total. They are worn when they go to work, and they are taken off for the successor to wear after get off work.

In the coldest days, the dozen or so overcoats were never idle, and the security guards did not change shifts, working 24 hours a day.

After a long time, the taste is quite confusing.

Throughout the winter, these military coats will not be washed. They will not be sent to dry cleaning until the weather is warm and the management office takes them back—but this is what the management office says. Was skeptical because the smell on those army coats was confusing from day one.

He thought it must have been in the sun for two days without even washing it.

And this winter, there was obviously no time to bask in the sun, and the smell of different people accumulated in the winter, which made him feel very uncomfortable on the first day of work after the Chinese New Year.

——If you wear it every day and get used to it, you won’t be so sensitive to this smell, but after you haven’t gone to work for more than ten days, you suddenly encounter such a strong smell, which is really unacceptable.

When he was lazy to sleep in the middle of the night, he simply took off his coat and hid in a stairwell to sleep.

It's still quite warm in a place with no wind, and it's okay to not wear a coat.

It was five or six o'clock before he came out of the stairwell.

Although it's still cold outside and it's not very bright yet, some old people have already come out for morning exercises.

Yan Xin's night shift is a patrol post. After getting out of the floor, he wanders back and forth in the community. When he meets old men and women who are going home from shopping, he will help them carry the vegetables to the elevator.

Lazy is lazy, he appeared in front of the residents, he is still a very responsible young man.

Many residents have a good impression of him.

Some people even asked him: "Did you go home for the New Year? Why haven't I seen you during this time?"

Yan Xin also replied cheerfully: "Yes, I have gone home for the New Year, and there are only a few days in a year, so I have to accompany the elders no matter what."

What he said made those old men and women feel more fond of him, and felt that he was a filial child.

The elderly place more emphasis on whether a person is filial or not. In their minds, filial piety is the best quality.

It may also be related to their vital interests.

When meeting such a child, some will praise it, and some can't help but give a red envelope.

In just over an hour, Yan Xin actually received forty or fifty red envelopes.

Some residents also told him that they had prepared such a red envelope for him a long time ago, because they hadn't seen him during the Chinese New Year, so they couldn't give it out.

Some colleagues saw it and were envious.

Not everyone can receive so many red envelopes, nor can everyone receive red envelopes so easily.

But it's useless to be envious. They usually don't take the initiative to help the owners. No matter how good their attitude is during the Chinese New Year, they can't change their unfriendly image before.

Yan Xin didn't open it face to face either, and only opened it after returning home from get off work.

The largest red envelope contained twenty yuan, the smallest contained two yuan, and most of them were five yuan.

Forty or fifty red envelopes add up to more than two hundred yuan.

Recalling that he worked as a security guard in Fengxiang City in his previous life, he stayed there for the New Year in the first year, and received a total of more than 300 yuan in red envelopes.

And now, on the first day of returning to work, it is already the ninth day of the ninth day, and I have received more than two hundred.

There are also some emotions.

People's hearts are like this, what kind of attitude towards the owner, what kind of attitude the owner will respond to.

People have a steelyard in their hearts, and everyone will measure it.

During the night shift in the next few days, Yan Xin received three or four hundred red envelopes one after another.

One morning, I ran into Aunt Li. She gave him a fifty-dollar red envelope and said to him:

"I didn't give any other security guards, so I prepared this one for you."

The old lady has always been like this. She has a clear distinction between likes and dislikes. She doesn't hide her liking for a person, nor does she hide her dislike for a person. She is not afraid of anyone, and she can say what she wants.

After only working the night shift for a few days, he transferred to the middle shift, and Yan Xin continued to return to his shift at Nanmengang.

When she was in middle school, Ai Lili finally seized the opportunity, went to his post to check the post, looked at all the photos and videos of her hometown taken on his mobile phone, and selected a dozen of them for Yan Xin to send to her mobile phone via Bluetooth Come up and say to him very seriously:

"If I have the chance, I will really go to your hometown. It feels so poetic. It must be very happy to live there."

In this regard, Yan Xin can only hold reservations.

He lived there for so many years, but he didn't feel that the place was so poetic, only that it was poor.

Ai Lili felt that there was poetry there, probably because she didn't live there.

Poetry and distance.

In many cases, the distance will be poetic.

And there is only trouble around.

But Ai Lili wants to visit his hometown, and he still welcomes her.

But it is not welcome now, because there is no place to live when I go there.

Let's talk about it after the house is built.

He hoped that one day, if Ai Lili really wanted to come, he could offer his best to entertain this kind-hearted beautiful boss.

At this time, the New Year is over, and most of the residents will not give red envelopes to the security guards again, but Yan Xin is very popular in this community. He works at Nanmengang during the day, and more residents saw him and gave him red envelopes again. Red envelope.

Some people didn't prepare red envelopes before, but when they saw him working here, they wrapped a red envelope after returning home and came over to give it to him.

Others just tell him that there are no more red envelopes, and give him ten yuan directly.

Until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Yan Xin received another six or seven hundred yuan in red envelopes, which was more than what he received in a year when he was a security guard here in his previous life.

It's just that, in his previous life, he was very short of money, but in this life he was not so short. If he said that he was short of big money, he would not be short of this little money.

But after receiving the money, he was still very happy. He called his father again and said that he had received a total of more than 3,000 yuan in red envelopes. Including the salary, he would send 4,000 yuan back this month.

A total of more than 1,000 yuan in red envelopes were received in the community, and with the 1,000 from Ai Lili, it was only more than 2,000 yuan. Yan Xin said that it was more than 3,000 yuan, which was just a reasonable exaggeration.

That would give him a reason to send more money home.

Sending more money home has no other purpose than to make his father feel more at ease.

For the poor and frightened, there is nothing more secure than money.
