Tomorrow can be expected

In 2007, online shopping began to quietly change the world.

Taobao and its exclusive payment tool, Alipay, are increasingly recognized and tried by young people.

Jiang Chen used to get in touch with Taobao and Alipay for buying peripheral dolls of idols.

When Alipay was just started, it could only be used on the Taobao platform, and the purchase of goods on Taobao could only be paid with Alipay tools.

In 2006, Alipay did not require a real-name system, nor did it impose any restrictions on the age of registered users, so the underage Jiang Chen was able to successfully register for Alipay and Taobao accounts in the third year of junior high.

Jiang Chen didn't have a bank debit card that could be bound, so he had to use the mobile phone top-up card to top up his Alipay account and make purchases.

The service fee for the mobile phone recharge card is 5% of the face value of the card, and a service fee of 100 yuan is required to recharge 5 yuan into the Alipay account.

While getting in touch with online shopping, Jiang Chen also got in touch with the newly emerging logistics industry in China, specifically the express delivery industry.

Before that, Jiang Chen only knew that the EMS of the postal system could deliver couriers.Through online shopping, Jiang Chen gradually got to know other private and private courier companies and courier orders.

……

……

Two days into the winter vacation, Jiang Chen couldn't sit still.

Without the company of friends, and without seeing Jane Ting, it really felt like years to her.

In fact, it is not impossible to meet with friends, as long as you make a few phone calls and make an appointment, there will always be friends who are willing to meet.

It's just that the outside temperature is below zero.It was cold and windy, and it snowed heavily yesterday.

Melting the snow trails would consume a lot of heat in the air, Jiang Chen just wanted to lie lazily in the quilt and love her, without any enthusiasm for going out.

The phone on the bedside table rang desperately, and the courier called Jiang Chen.

The doll bear she bought online arrived, and Jiang Chen, who was afraid of the cold just now, immediately got up, put on his winter pajamas and went out to receive the delivery.

It may not be love that can wake up bed fetishes in winter, but the courier master.

……

……

The doll bear is a gift Jiang Chen learned from Korean dramas.

The hero and heroine of a certain Korean drama gave the woman a cute hugging bear on their first date.The heroine likes it very much, Jiang Chen also thinks it is cute and wants to buy one as a present for Jane.

After some searching on the Internet, there is indeed a store selling this cuddly bear.The store also listed the name of the Korean drama on the product page, so it must be right, Jiang Chen thought so and placed the order.

After waiting for nearly 5 days, the courier finally arrived.

Jiang Chen opened the cardboard box, and the packaging of Hugging Bear was exquisite.

It looked like the original, and she didn't want to give Jane a fake bear, it sounded embarrassing.

But when the bear arrived, how should I tell Jane?

Jiang Chen was in trouble.

Although I know the address of Jane Ting's home, do I still have to send it there?

It took only half an hour to ride from my home to Jane Ting's house. It was crazy to send a courier to such a short distance.

Jiang Chen dismissed this idea.

But if you don’t send a courier, should you send it by yourself?

For what reason?

Jane heard that she didn't have her birthday yet.

Chinese New Year gift?Is there such a gift?

Jiang Chen struggled for a while but still couldn't think of a suitable solution.

Annoyed, she tidied herself up, changed out of her clothes, and planned to go to the post office to have a look before making a decision.

When I arrived at the EMS mailing counter of the post office, I handed over the cardboard box containing the bear to the staff at the counter, and the staff of the post office took it to the weighing machine for weighing.

"If you want to send this courier, it will cost 70 yuan."

70?

Jiang Chen was shocked.

She bought this bear for less than a hundred yuan, but now it costs 70 yuan to deliver it to a place less than a few kilometers away in the same administrative area?

Jiang Chen, who didn't want to waste money, left the post office with the Hugging Bear cardboard box in his arms.

If you can't express it, then send it by yourself.

Jiang Chen decided to personally send the doll bear to Jane.

But in this way, she needs to think of a good reason.

After returning home, he thought about it again and again, until he saw Father Jiang's printer in the study, and Jiang Chen had an idea in his mind.

……

……

Not every friend has been in contact with online shopping. Basically, most of the students around Jiang Chen are still in a state of never being in contact with it.

Jiang Chen remembered that he accidentally mentioned his experience of online shopping to everyone before. Chen Can, Lin Xue, and Tang Min had never been in contact with it. Even Qian Siyuan, who often played online games, only spent money on the Internet. .

Jiang Chen was thinking that Jane Ting might not have seen the delivery slip either.

If you have never seen the real express bill, maybe you will not recognize the counterfeit express bill?

Jiang Chen couldn't help praising his wit.

Just do it.

Jiang Chen went to the study and turned on the desktop computer and printer.

Tearing off the real delivery slip from the express carton, Jiang Chen printed a similar counterfeit version for comparison with the real delivery slip.

After the printer finished outputting the paper, Jiang Chen took a look at the printed A4 paper, and it looked pretty decent.

Satisfied, I ran back to my room to find the solid glue, and stuck the counterfeit delivery slip to the seal of the carton along the traces of the original delivery slip.Before pasting, I don’t forget to use scissors to subtract the blank space from the A4 paper, so that it looks a bit more similar.

Considering that it takes about 1 hour to go to and from Jane Ting’s house, it’s a long road (everything longer than 30 minutes is a long road for Jiang Chen since the autumn tour ride).Considering that she needed someone to accompany her to strengthen her courage, Jiang Chen called his cousin to go with him.

Anyway, my cousin listens to my elder sister very much, so I will trouble him to accompany me for a trip.

The shrewd sister plotted against her younger brother once.

Early the next morning, my younger brother was waiting at the door of Jiang Chen's house.

My cousin in the second grade of junior high school is already 1 meters tall, but there is still an upward trend.

The younger brother took the cardboard box from the older sister's hand and tied it to the back seat of his bicycle without complaint. Then the younger brother asked the older sister with a confused face.

"Sister, where are we going?"

"Xingqiao District."

"Xingqiao District? That's still a little far away."

"It's okay, I'll definitely be there in half an hour."

She didn't think so in her heart, Jiang Chen comforted his brother and told lies very smoothly, and he didn't even need to type a draft.

"Why are you going to Xingqiao Community?"

"Send something to a classmate."

"Oh."

"Ann, come back and let my mother make fried chicken fillets for you to eat."

Thank you for your help, please eat without spending money, you can solve it at home, it is really beautiful.

The innocent younger brother followed his sister on the road of giving gifts so easily.

……

……

After half an hour of mutual encouragement, Jiang Chen and his younger brother finally saw the signboard of Xingqiao Community.

The eye-catching display board stands on the roof of the residential building not far away, and the bright red "Xingqiao Community" seems to remind the homeowners that they can park in front of them and their home is in front of them.

The property management of Xingqiao Community has always been known as "serious and responsible".

Owners need to swipe the access card to enter and exit the community. Visitors who are not owners want to enter the community. The security guards in the guard room will call the owners to verify the identity of the visitors, and they will not be released until the owners agree.

Jiang Chen and his younger brother were blocked at the gate of Xingqiao Community.

The two who looked like middle school students could not enter the community as "courier masters". What's more, the couriers of the owners of Xingqiao Community were all received by the property, and the courier masters did not need to enter the community to deliver.

"Sister, what should I do?"

The cousin parked the bicycle aside to ask Jiang Chen for advice.

"I do not know either."

"Ah, we can't just stand here and wait for someone to come out, can we? Don't you have your classmate's phone number?"

"Yes, but..."

"But what?"

"Oh, don't ask, you don't understand."

"Then what should we do? Sister, tell me."

"Let me think about it..."

Jiang Chen put one foot on the ground and the other on the bicycle pedal, frowning and thinking.

"Well, you go and make a call."

"Huh? Me? I don't know your classmate."

"It's okay, after a while Uncle Security calls my classmate, you answer it, and then you tell her that you were entrusted by someone to deliver something to her. If she asks who you are, you just say that they only said it was Beicheng A classmate from No. [-] Middle School, I don’t know who it is.”

"Ok."

"master."

Jiang Chen walked to the window of the security room, knocked on the glass window, and the security guard opened one side of the window from the inside.

"What's the matter, girl, what's the matter?"

"Hi master, we are looking for someone who lives in building 22, her name is Jane Ting."

"Okay, girl, wait for me to call and check."

The security guard dialed Jane Ting's phone number, and Jiang Chen pushed his brother over and signaled him to answer the phone.

At the critical moment, the younger brother was quite strong, and he completed the task quite naturally and finished the phone call.The security master obtained the owner's consent and opened the pedestrian gate for Jiang Chen and the others.

Jiang Chen, who thought he was clever, quickly pushed his bicycle and led his younger brother into the Xingqiao community, never thinking that Jane Ting had already guessed that it might be a gift from her.

If it is not the winter vacation, if it is still in school, Jane Ting may not even be able to delineate the scope of gift givers.But Jiang Chen seems to be the only one who knows the neighborhood where Jian Ting's house is located and the exact number of buildings.Jane Ting doesn't think that among her group of friends, who would take such trouble to write down the specific address of her home, then the only possibility is Jiang Chen.

……

……

We found building 21, and building 22 is next door.

Jiang Chen stopped his bicycle.

The younger brother was puzzled to see Jiang Chen take out the mobile phone from the pocket of the padded jacket, it seemed that the elder sister made a call.

Jiang Chen pressed the phone close to his ear, his heart pounding with nervousness.

"Hey?"

Confirming that it was Jane Ting, Jiang Chen subconsciously grabbed the corner of his jeans.

"Ahem...are you Jane Ting?"

"Yes, I am."

"My side is Tianmou Express. I have a copy of your express. Are you at home now?"

"I'm at home now."

"Okay, then I will send it to you now, and I have arrived near your home."

"Okay, I'll come down and open the door for you now."

"OK, thanks."

Yes, Jiang Chen jumped for joy.

Successfully disguised as a courier master.

At this moment, Jiang Chen began to fantasize about Jane's expression when she heard that the courier was actually him.Jane must have been surprised to hear that, she must not have guessed it was me.

"Brother, just wait here obediently for me."

Jiang Chen took the cardboard box and left by himself, and told his cousin to wait for her to come back.

……

……

This was Jiang Chen's first call to Jane Ting after he got Jane Ting's phone number, which is really rare.

Jiang Chen recalled the conversation just now while moving to Building 22.

However, what Jiang Chen didn't expect was that the moment Jian Ting heard the voice on the other end of the phone, he confirmed that it was Jiang Chen.

When talking with Jiang Chen, Jane Ting actually wanted to laugh all the time, and she tried to accompany Jiang Chen to finish the drama she didn't know about.

……

……

Jiang Chen didn't make it to the door of Jane Ting's house and saw Jane Ting appearing at the entrance of Building 22.

Jane heard Jiang Chen and walked towards her.

"Hi, delivery master."

"Uh……"

This time it was Jiang Chen who was surprised.

She was dazed and caught off guard by Jane Ting's opening remarks.

"Who called the doorman for you just now?"

Only then did Jiang Chen realize that he had been exposed a long time ago, and at this moment he felt like crying.

"Uh...my brother...we work part-time during the winter vacation...helping an uncle I know deliver a courier. Uh...I am indeed a courier master. I'm not wrong, this is your courier. Goodbye."

Before Jane Ting reached out, Jiang Chen put the cardboard box in front of Jane Ting and fled.

"Hey, Jiang Chen, are you leaving just like that?"

What about otherwise?Jiang Chen, whose face was flushed, just wanted to find a crack in the ground and sneak in as quickly as possible.

Jiang Chen ran back to his younger brother at an unprecedented speed, as if he was worried about being chased, he got on the bicycle and yelled at his younger brother.

"Come on!"

Unknown why, the younger brother rode out of the Xingqiao community with his sister as if fleeing for his life.
