As the saying goes, one is marked by the company one keeps. After staying with Xu Qing for a long time, Jiang He was inevitably influenced by him and became calm about some things.
Even when she found out that Xu Qing was secretly wearing stockings, she didn't show any abnormality. If it were a few months ago, she would have asked Xu Qing in disbelief, "Why are you wearing such a girly thing?"
Respecting other people's quirks was to protect herself. Otherwise, Xu Qing might force her to wear it and then touch her legs fiercely.
After breakfast, Jiang He sat at the table and began to study the computer — not to play, but to study.
She was too curious about this modern baby. Not only did she want to learn how to operate it, but sometimes she even wanted to take it apart to see the structure inside … It was just a thought. Maybe she would take it apart in the future, but now she was not sure that she could take it apart and put it back together.
"What are you thinking about?"
Occasionally looking back, Jiang He found that Xu Qing didn't do anything … Actually, it was not that he didn't do anything. To be precise, he only did one thing, which was to sit there quietly and stare at her back, as if he was in a trance.
"I was thinking about last night's dream." Xu Qing confessed the truth.
"What did you dream about?"
"Something very interesting."
Jiang He thought for a moment and asked doubtfully, "Did you dream that you became a girl?"
Xu Qing's recollection was interrupted by Jiang He. After a moment of silence, he couldn't figure out how her brain circuit was constructed. He couldn't help but ask, "Why did I dream that I became a girl?"
Every action and thought had a starting point. It didn't matter why Jiang He asked this question. What mattered was why she thought that becoming a girl was very interesting and worth thinking about.
However, Jiang He didn't answer him, but continued to ask, "Isn't it?"
"Of course not!"
"What a pity."
"…"
Cross-server chat had always been Jiang He's best skill, and Xu Qing couldn't do anything to her. The whole morning passed while she was learning how to operate the computer.
The most important part of the day was the morning. The morning was the time to study, and in the afternoon, it was time to study the pile of information that Xu Qing had sent to him, learn how to open a store, move videos, and so on.
Since Jiang He was worried about losing money, Xu Qing helped her find a way to take advantage of the lack of information. She didn't need to prepare the goods herself. She just needed to raise the prices of the goods in other stores and put them in her own store. If someone wanted to buy it, she could place the order directly from other stores. Many people did this, and it had even become a large-scale industry.
The techniques and difficulties were all marked out by Xu Qing. In essence, it was like an intermediary. Xu Qing learned from Li Gaobo. At the beginning, Li Gaobo didn't have much money to purchase goods. That was how he managed to increase the number of products in his online store. If someone placed an order, Li Gaobo would go somewhere else to buy it and mail it over.
However, he was doing it for the popularity of his shop, so he didn't make a lot of money from others.
Jiang He learned these things while moving bricks, but she wasn't as motivated as moving bricks. She liked to create wealth with her own hands and had an instinctive aversion to such opportunistic things.
Lunch was made by Xu Qing. He baked a few big pancakes and made a pot of egg soup.
There were no stir-fried vegetables or rice. It was a proper meal, which was very common in Jiangcheng. She dipped the green onions in some sauce and wrapped them in the pancakes. It was delicious and fragrant.
"If you want to open a store, I can open one for you. I'll use my identity."
Xu Qing took a bite of the green onions and the pancake. Jiang He liked to eat the white green onions, and he liked to eat the leaves. Although this was not a big discovery, it was still a little pleasant.
"I don't want to open one." Jiang He shook her head.
"Fine. You can continue to familiarize yourself with it. Anyway, there's no hurry. There are masters in every profession. With your perseverance and determination, you will succeed no matter what you do." Xu Qing was very confident in her. She could move bricks for thousands of yuan. As long as she found the right thing to do, even if she couldn't reach the top, she would definitely be better than most people.
"I believe in you," he said.
Jiang He pursed her lips and didn't dare to agree with his words. "I don't even believe in myself."
"Because I see things more clearly than you."
Xu Qing understood her current dilemma very well.
Not to mention a semi-illiterate who had never received an education, even for modern college graduates, not many of them could find their own career direction right after they graduated. They had to make a few mistakes before they could find a suitable job for themselves, or they could bow down to reality and nag about quitting every day while punching in every month to get a full attendance.
Although Jiang He's own uniqueness was a shortcoming, it was also an advantage. She wouldn't think so much. As long as she found something she liked and could support herself, she wouldn't think so much. She could easily obtain satisfaction and happiness that others couldn't get.
"Cats eat fish, dogs eat meat, and Ultraman fights small monsters. Follow your nature. Don't worry about how much money you can make now. First, find something that you don't hate and learn. Step by step."
"What is Ultraman?"
"The incarnation of light. I used to have a transformation device, but I don't know where I put it. Otherwise, I can transform and show you."
Xu Qing smiled and drank the soup in the bowl. He went to the kitchen to fill another bowl. Jiang He thought and pushed White Gourd aside.
Cats couldn't eat human food, or they would get sick. She had already Baidu.
After lunch, the two went out for a walk to digest the food. It was a good season to go out. In a month or two, the weather would start to heat up, and it would only be suitable to go shopping. Otherwise, it would be weird to stroll on the street when an egg could be fried.
The umbrella at the gate of the community was replaced. It was a big umbrella, almost the size of a shed. Zhao Shu put a pot of chrysanthemum tea on the table. He held a fan in his hand and sat there, looking out of the community.
Xu Qing felt that if he was a security guard, he would think about a lot of things, such as reincarnation, aliens, magic, wisdom, time, the meaning of life, distant galaxies …
He used to sit here when he had nothing to do. He would freeload Zhao Shu's tea for the whole afternoon. It was very relaxing.
"What's wrong with your hand?"
When Zhao Shu saw the two coming, the first thing he noticed was Xu Qing's arm. Of course, it was not the one with which Xu Qing was holding Jiang He, but the empty right hand. It was waving there like a chicken claw, a bit like Uncle Qi next door who was tied up due to cerebral thrombosis.
He was so young … He couldn't have any problems.
Seeing his worried eyes, Xu Qing thought for a moment and said, "Yesterday I smoked two cigarettes, then …"
"Get lost. Don't be serious." Zhao Shu laughed and scolded him. He knew that this kid was talking nonsense when he heard the cigarette.
"Actually, this is called Eagle Claw. I learned it from an otherworldly master."
Xu Qing shook his right hand and waved it a few times, which made Zhao Shu's eyebrows jump. He always felt that this gesture was not very serious.
"What is this?"
Ignoring Zhao Shu's look of disgust, Xu Qing's eyes fell on a notice posted on the side. In this old residential area, there would be a few notices posted to inform about everything, such as a power cut during street construction … But that kind of situation was rare.
"We need to install a high-tech access control system. In the future, when you come in, you have to use that small card to check."
Zhao Shu explained, "Last time when there was a haunting, we looked at the surveillance camera and found a thief. Fortunately, we didn't lose anything. After that, we planned to install this. I can't care too much here. If we can install an access control system, it will be much easier. That's why … it took so long to install it."
"Oh … I don't have to pay, right?" Xu Qing looked at the notice on the wall and joked, "Then you are unemployed?"
"Yes, even if I install it, I still have to keep an eye on it. I heard that renting a house costs 10 yuan, but you guys can do it for free.
I don't even believe it. I haven't even seen the door frame. The property management and the neighborhood committee are too slow … "
In fact, it had nothing to do with him. They were all sitting here smoking and drinking tea. It was just that he was a decent person. When he saw that they were not efficient, he was not happy and always scolded them.
Xu Qing did not care too much about it. It had nothing to do with him. It was just that he added another pendant to his key. But the security had improved a lot. The thief who went through the window last time should not be able to see them anymore.
The two of them walked further and further away. Zhao Shu lay on the chair and looked at their backs. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and thought for a while. He put it back and planned to smoke later.
