He silently took off the watch on his left wrist and stuffed it into his pocket.
"Hey, your phone is the latest model?" The girl noticed Yang Huai's phone.
"Here, it's an inferior model from Huaqiangbei in Shenzhen," Yang Huai generously showed the phone to her, "You can buy one for five or six hundred yuan."
"Oh, I often go to Shenzhen. I'll go there when I have time." The girl glanced at the phone. It was a brand she didn't recognize. She continued to focus on driving, "The big screen is pretty. If it's easy to use, I'll buy one too."
"There are all kinds of smartphones nowadays." This phone was a custom-made phone given to him by his uncle. It didn't even have a logo. Most people wouldn't have seen it before. Even if they had the money, they wouldn't be able to buy it. "There are many phones to choose from."
"Oh, right. You haven't told me yet. Where are you going?" The girl continued to ask.
"I …" Yang Huai looked at the phone. It was already three o 'clock. He wouldn't be able to make it for the afternoon meeting. He might as well skip it. Should he go home now? It seemed a little early …
"Holy sh * t …"
He was a little confused.
"You're from the mainland?" The girl immediately guessed with just this one sentence.
"Yeah." Yang Huai didn't deny it. Because of his uncle, he had never obtained a Hong Kong resident ID. Although his mother had added more than ten city properties to his name, it was still a rural residence in Anhui.
"Just arrived in Hong Kong?" The girl continued to ask.
"Yeah." He had just arrived from Shenzhen for less than a week. He didn't have much business in Hong Kong. He only had a branch company. He was only here for a meeting.
However, he had a lot of friends and classmates. They would gather every few days. He was a frequent visitor to Hong Kong.
"Oh," the girl probed. "You're not here to look for a job, are you?"
"Huh?" Yang Huai was stunned. Although the girl seemed to have misunderstood something, he didn't deny it or explain further.
"Hey." At an intersection, the car was waiting for the traffic light. The girl looked at him carefully and said, "Here, don't say I didn't give you a chance. My family is hiring. I think you're pretty good. You don't look like a bad person. How about it?
Do you want to come? "
"Your family is recruiting?" Yang Huai laughed involuntarily.
"Hey, I'm serious. My family is a chicken farm, and work is not tiring. My main job is to clean the chicken coop and feed the chickens." The girl paused for a while and continued, "Don't blame me for not reminding you. You just came to Hong Kong, and you might not be familiar with this place. You are not a Hong Kong citizen, so you definitely won't be able to live in public housing or receive social assistance. If you work in the city, your salary might be higher, but the rent is still very high.
Besides, it's not that easy to find a job these days … "
Yang Huai listened to her quietly and didn't refute her. Perhaps out of curiosity, he couldn't help but ask, "How much is it a month?"
"Well, I can't make the decision. You have to talk to my dad." The car behind her kept honking. Only then did the girl continue to move forward unhurriedly. She muttered, "So uncultured, honking randomly."
"Okay." Yang Huai didn't even know what he was thinking, but he just agreed.
"Accompany me to finish this truck, and we'll go back together." The girl seemed very happy that Yang Huai had agreed.
Yang Huai's phone rang again. He saw that it was from his assistant. After refusing, he sent a text message to his assistant, telling her about the repair of the car and the company.
The truck stopped at the back door of a supermarket. He followed her out, and when the girl opened the back door, he found that it was filled with baskets of eggs.
She quickly moved a basket of eggs down. He couldn't just stand there, so he quickly helped.
"Thank you." The girl thanked him. "Follow me."
"It's okay." Yang Huai followed her and moved a dozen baskets of eggs down.
When they were done, she took out a list from her bag and handed it to the staff. Then the two of them left the supermarket together and continued to the next one.
They went to several supermarkets, vegetable markets, and grocery stores in a row. It took them more than two hours to deliver all the eggs in the truck. He felt very strange. Usually, he didn't have this kind of patience.
"Do you deliver them like this every day?" Sitting in the car, Yang Huai looked at her sweaty and wet hair. He admired her very much. He could also do this kind of work, but it was difficult for him to do it for a long time.
"No, it's usually my father or my brother." The girl smiled and said, "Okay, let's go home now."
The car drove all the way into the Xintian area of Yuen Long. Opposite them was the row upon row of high-rise buildings in Shenzhen, which was far more prosperous than here.
"In the past, many stowaways came ashore from here," the girl carefully explained to Yang Huai. "My father came to Hong Kong from here, and then settled down here."
"I've heard of this situation before." From afar, Yang Huai could hear the 'ge ge ge ge' of a group of chickens. Fortunately, the surrounding area was desolate and there were no households. Otherwise, there would be complaints of noise disturbance.
The chicken farm was very large. Behind the two long rows of houses was a vegetable garden, which was planted with summer vegetables, peppers, tomatoes, and beans, needless to say.
The car stopped at the door, and a big wolfdog barked at Yang Huai who got out of the car.
"Be quiet." The girl pretended to be angry at the big wolfdog, and the big wolfdog finally stopped barking. An old man came out of the house, and she shouted, "Dad."
"Hurry up and bring the guest into the house." The old man was very happy to see Yang Huai.
"Dad," the girl trotted to the old man and whispered, "He's the worker I hired for you."
"Hired worker?" The old man suddenly raised his voice, "I can't afford it!"
"Dad!" The girl shook the old man's arm and said coquettishly, "Your lumbar disc is not good, you can't be tired anymore. Hey, you just came from the mainland, maybe the salary is not high?"
"What's your name, where are you from?" The old man asked his daughter directly.
"Ah?" The girl suddenly remembered that she did not know anything about Yang Huai, so she turned to look at him.
"Hello, my name is Yang Huai, and my hometown is in Northern Anhui." Yang Huai thought that he was very gentlemanly and extended his hand to the old man.
"You dare to bring him home when you don't know anything?" The old man reprimanded his daughter, "Be more careful."
Being ignored like this, Yang Huai touched his nose awkwardly and explained, "Uncle, I'm not a bad person."
"You still don't look like a good person." The old man snorted coldly, "Tell me the truth, what are you planning? Look at your clothes and your tender hands, you don't look like a worker. "
