Urban Life: Our Youth

morning.

Monitoring and installation shop for the people.

I have a classmate named Wang Zheng who specializes in installing cameras for others.

I went to his store and found him, and told him roughly the situation in the store.

"Shaozhe, let's just say your business is getting bigger now." Wang Zheng said with a smile.

Wang Zheng is about 175 centimeters tall, neither fat nor thin. He is very handsome, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, double eyelids, a high nose, a black beard, a thin mouth, and a clear face. He smiles when he talks.

"Wang Zheng, can you stop being ridiculous? I just rented two counters. So far, I haven't sold a single mobile phone. I have already spent a lot of money." I said with a wry smile.

"Big businesses start from small businesses. Don't be anxious and take your time."

"I think I might even lose money. The rent, electricity bill, and clerk's salary make me breathless."

"Have you hired a clerk?"

"Yes."

"He also said that he is not a big boss and he already has employees."

"I just hired a salesperson, and I have to help out in my spare time. Who am I to be the boss? It's harder than a clerk!"

"Don't be anxious, take your time, everything will be fine," Wang Zheng said, "Let's go ahead and plan to install a few cameras."

"You are an expert. I don't know much about this stuff. You can go take a look and then talk about it."

"Okay," Wang Zheng said, "it's almost noon, don't leave. Let's have a drink and I'll go check on you in the afternoon."

"That will cost you money."

The two of us randomly found a food stall and ordered a plate of peanuts, a plate of cold cucumbers, a plate of fried shredded potatoes with green peppers, a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and each drank a bottle of beer.

"Wang Zheng, let me tell you, I like this feeling, as if I'm back in school again."

"Normally, everyone is busy. Unless something happens, it is difficult for classmates to get together." He lit up a Yuxi cigarette and handed another one to me.

"I quit a long time ago." I declined.

"I remember when I was in school, there were ten boys in our dormitory, and most of them smoked. There were a few good comrades who didn't smoke, but they dragged us down. How could you quit?"

"I can't do it if I don't quit. I can't afford it."

"Is it that exaggerated? Do you have to smoke such good cigarettes?"

"I'm not exaggerating at all. It's true that I can't afford it. It's too cheap. If I'm with friends, I can't afford it. It's too expensive and I can't afford it."

"I've been smoking this brand, and I'm used to it. A pack costs 22 yuan."

"That level is not low anymore."

"What is good and bad? What else do we ordinary people want to smoke?" Wang Zheng said, "I remember when you were in school, you liked to read martial arts novels by Jin Yong and Gu Long the most. How about it? Do you still read them now?"

After hearing this, I laughed and said: "To tell you the truth, I have read the books of these two heroes, and they are indeed wonderful. Nowadays, I am busy making a living, and I am so busy every day. Where can I have time to read?"

"Then are you dating someone?"

"It's considered a love affair, but I think this matter can't be counted until the wedding day."

"What do you mean, let's just get along. It's normal for the male to get married and the female to get married. Whenever you have time, bring her over and have a meal with me. I'll help you with your advice. .”

"Okay, how are you and our female classmate Cao Lina doing now?"
