Chapter 118 Poetry lies in the distance

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

Although I have only been away from this community for half a month, I feel a little strange and awkward.

I feel uncomfortable even wearing the uniform.

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

Not every security guard has one of those military coats, but there are only a dozen of them in total. They wear them when they go to work, and take them off after get off work for the person who takes over to wear them.

During the coldest days, those dozen coats were never idle. The security guard did not change his shifts and worked around the clock.

Over time, the taste becomes quite confusing.

Throughout the winter, these military coats will not be washed. They will not be sent for dry cleaning until the weather is warm and the management office collects them. But this is what the management office says about sending them for dry cleaning. Yan Xin has been wondering whether they have been sent to them.

I was skeptical, because the smell on those military coats was confusing from the first day I wore them.

He thought it had been exposed to the sun for two days without even being washed.

But this winter, there was obviously no time to dry the sun, and the smell of different people accumulated throughout the winter, making him feel very uncomfortable on his first day at work after the Chinese New Year.

——If you wear it every day and get used to it, you won't be so sensitive to such a smell. But after not going to work for more than ten days, and suddenly encountering such a strong smell, it is indeed a bit unacceptable.

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

Where there is no wind, it is still quite warm, so there is no problem if you don’t wear a coat.

It wasn't until five or six o'clock that I came out of the stairwell.

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

Yan Xin worked the night shift as a patrol post. After getting out of the floor, he wandered back and forth in the community. When he met old men and women returning home from shopping for groceries, he would help them carry groceries to the elevator.

Lazy as he is, he is still a very responsible young man when he appears in front of the residents.

Many residents have a pretty 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 answered cheerfully: "Yes, I went home to celebrate the New Year. There are only so many days in a year. No matter what, I have to spend time with my elders."

These words made those old men and women even more fond of him, thinking that he was a filial child.

Elderly people pay more attention to whether a person is filial or not. In their minds, filial piety is the best quality.

This may also be related to their vital interests.

When meeting such children, some will praise them, while others can't help but give them a red envelope.

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

Some residents even told him that they had prepared such a red envelope for him a long time ago, but they had not seen him during the Chinese New Year and could not give it out.

Some colleagues saw it and were very envious.

Not everyone can receive so many red envelopes, and not everyone can 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 was during the New Year, they can't change their previous unfriendly image.

Yan Xin did not open it in person, but only opened it after returning home from get off work.

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

Forty or fifty red envelopes, totaling more than two hundred yuan.

I remembered that he worked as a security guard in Fengxiang City in his previous life. In the first year he stayed there to celebrate the New Year, he received a total of more than 300 yuan in red envelopes.

And now it's the ninth day of the Lunar New Year on my first day back at work, and I've received more than two hundred.

I also have some emotions.

The human heart is like this, what kind of attitude you have towards the owner will be what kind of attitude the owner will have in return.

There is a steelyard in people's hearts, and everyone can weigh it.

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

One morning I met Aunt Li. She gave him a fifty yuan 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, with a clear distinction between love and hate. She does not hide her affection for a person or her dislike for a person. She is not afraid of anyone and just says what she wants.

After only working the night shift for a few days, he was transferred to the middle shift. Yan Xin continued to return to Nanmen Gang to attend his shift.

When she was in middle school, Ai Lili finally got the chance. She went to check on his job, 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 transfer to her mobile phone using Bluetooth.

He came up and said to him seriously:

"I really want to go visit your hometown if I have the chance. It feels so poetic. I must be very happy to live there."

Yan Xin can only have reservations about this.

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

Ellie thinks it's poetic there, probably just because she doesn't live there.

Poetry and distance.

Many times, there is poetry in the distance.

But there is only mediocrity around me.

But Ai Lili wanted to visit his hometown, and he still welcomed her.

But now we are not welcome because there is no place to stay.

We have to wait until we build the house.

He hoped that one day, if Ai Lili really came, he could use his best to entertain this beautiful and kind-hearted boss.

At this time, the New Year has come to an end, and most residents will no longer give red envelopes to security guards. However, Yan Xin is very popular in this community. He works in Nanmenggang during the day, and more residents see him and give him red envelopes again.

Red envelope.

Some people didn't prepare a red envelope at first, but when they saw him working here, after returning home, they wrapped a red envelope and gave it to him again.

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

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

However, he was short of money in his last life, but not so much in this life. If he is short, he is only short of big money, not small money.

But he was very happy after receiving the money. 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.

In the community, he received a total of more than 1,000 yuan in red envelopes. Including the 1,000 yuan given by Ai Lili, it was only more than 2,000 yuan. Yan Xin's statement of more than 3,000 yuan was just a reasonable exaggeration.

This gives 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 people who are afraid of poverty, there is nothing that makes people feel more secure than money.
