Seventy Little Heads

"Hey, it's like walking from one world to another. Do you have a trance feeling? I have learned that "Peach Blossom Spring" before, and I have that feeling now. It used to be a quiet place. As we walked, there were more and more people, and the sound gradually became louder, and then around, there was food everywhere. It was like, like a market, yes, a market at night.”

I have never seen the scene I thought about. I went out to go shopping at night, and there was a lot of people, and there were places to buy snacks and sell gadgets everywhere.

"We don't go out at night there. It is said that the daytime is the world of people, and the night is the world of ghosts and ghosts. Look, so many people are..., huh?"

Goudan bumped Wang Xuan with his shoulder, "Don't try to scare me, if these are all people of the night, you won't be able to escape, at worst, we two will hit ghosts together."

Wang Xuan found it regrettable that he couldn't scare Goudan. He remembered that Goudan was afraid of ghosts, although he never admitted it.The people next to him heard that they were not speaking the local dialect and still looked at them. After all, they both spoke the same thing a lot, and when a different one suddenly appeared, others would always be curious.

Goudan clenched his palms tightly. He didn't fluctuate on the surface, but he was a little flabbergasted by what Wang Xuan said in his heart. Besides, they couldn't understand what others said, and their words would always attract the attention of others, as if they had broken into the world. It's like a place that doesn't belong to them and shouldn't be entered.Just because of Wang Xuan's nonsense, some people's faces were pale and pale under the light, and they were still so creepy.

Just happened to hold Wang Xuan's hand, and he said, "There are so many people, don't get lost." He added: If you get lost and don't go anywhere, go back to the guest house.

Wang Xuan didn't object. He was used to holding hands often since he was a child. After growing up, especially when he was studying in the county town, holding hands was rare. Thinking about it this way, he didn't realize that there was something wrong with two boys who were so big holding hands.

Looking at the lively small market at night, the stalls are not arranged neatly, as if the owner wants to arrange them, some stalls are next to each other, and some are far away.There are not many people who speak other languages. Maybe those outsiders can speak dialects or they are the same as the original ones. The outsiders who come here rest after dark and never come out.

The two went to the wonton stand and ordered two.The bowl was not big, and there were not many things in it, so the two each added another bowl, and they ate four bowls in total.I continued to walk in the place full of food aroma, and there were people setting up socks stalls, hat stalls, umbrellas and so on.

It's strange that some people buy these things when they sell them at night.

"Shall we buy two umbrellas?"

Walking over, the chicken and the duck talked for a long time, and they only bought two. The price was not allowed to be lowered. Wang Xuan tried hard and wanted to work harder, but Goudan directly lifted him up, "We don't buy it, so the retail price is already expensive. How about adding it to the wholesale list tomorrow."

Wang Xuan squatted, looked up at Goudan, then put down the umbrella he had chosen in his hand and took Goudan away, swearing behind him, I don’t know what to say but he should be very angry, after all, after talking about the price for so long, the things are still worthless. After looking through it, I finally didn't buy it.

"Hey, you seem pretty bad."

"No, I just remembered, aren't we just looking for cheap things to wholesale? Why buy expensive ones, and if you don't leave, you will be sprayed. Most of the business here are locals. If you mess with others Not good." If you can go out without causing trouble, you can make money by being kind.

Goudan thought to himself, so good at living, no wonder he was dragged away so fast, it turned out that he was afraid of being scolded.

Being in a place full of food aromas is both happiness and torture, some oily fumes are choking, although the wind at night is not bad, but Wang Xuan can already smell a lot of such oily fumes on the clothes on the heads of the two of them.

After walking a few more stalls, Goudan twitched Wang Xuan and said, "Do you think that is Xiaoqian? It seems that his brother is also there."

"Do you want to go there?" I didn't expect Xiaoqian to be here, "I just don't know if the two of them ran the stall themselves or worked for someone else." Here the two also learned a new word - part-time job.

"just forget it."

I don't know anything about the situation, and Xiaoqian never said that they set up a stall here.The two turned around and walked back and forth, and bought a few meatloaf on the side, wrapped them in oiled paper, and took a big watermelon.

Back at the guest house, the two walked for about 10 minutes, "It's not far away, and I'll know where to find food at night later."

Eating wontons just now was not enough, so the oiled paper was spread out on a wooden chair with a backrest. The two of them squatted on tiptoes and started eating again. The oily meatloaf became more and more delicious.Thinking of eating two plates of meat during the day, and eating meatloaf tonight, "Let's eat vegetarian tomorrow, it costs too much."

"Isn't this just plain?" Goudan took out the black dagger from 'Baby' and cut watermelon and said.Cut it into six pieces in two or three strokes, three pieces for two people, and a big watermelon into the stomach.

"Phew, happy. I still need to make more money in the future. Look, you can eat whatever you want, how beautiful it is." Blindly saving money is not the answer.

"Let's talk about it when you become a millionaire. At that time, you really live on money and no one talks about you."

Now they are small households with ten thousand yuan. That's right, they are the "ten thousand yuan households" that were advertised in the newspapers a few years ago.It's a pity that the two of them have never saved money in the bank. Now everyone envies ten thousand yuan households. When ten thousand yuan households were still a minority in the county, they are now ten thousand yuan households.

A millionaire is a legendary existence, so Wang Xuan said that if he wants to earn so much, he can eat whatever he wants. He thinks that is a difficult goal to achieve, and he may never earn that much money in his life.

It wasn't until later that he discovered that millionaires were everywhere. He now felt that the wish that was far away and unattainable in a lifetime had already been achieved at that time, and with the passage of time and the development of the domestic economy, no one regarded millionaires as When it becomes a legend, but the norm, they themselves are already the objects that others look up to and envy.When it is really possible to lie down and eat meat for a lifetime, the mentality and pursuit are different at that time.

Now, the two of them are in the small guest house, eating oily meatloaf and a big extravagant watermelon, very satisfied, thinking that this is the best life.

"It feels so good to have a full stomach." Pai Pai was finally full, hiccupped, wrapped the watermelon rind in oiled paper, ran to the first floor and threw it into the trash basket.

They were all spread out on the stool and didn't want to move, "It's delicious." Both of them were in good health and young. After eating so much, their stomachs felt full, but because they were thin, they didn't see their stomachs protruding. Flat look.Especially Goudan's stomach has a few faint abdominal muscles, and it doesn't look like he can eat so much.

As for Wang Xuan, although he doesn't have abdominal muscles, he has a well-proportioned boyish body without losing his belly even if he eats too much.

Goudan took off his shirt directly, "I will wash it and hang it on the window overnight to blow the wind and it will dry tomorrow. The place is very lively, but the clothes smell too strong when I come back." It happened that the clothes in the morning were also dry , can be changed.

Wang Xuan also took off her shirt like him. The room was very hot, and the window was open to let the night wind blow in, but the door had to be closed, and all the inner locks had to be used.

Outside, you can never be too cautious.Take out the list of the last purchase, and mark the good shipments and good prices.As a reference for this purchase, both of them have an idea of ​​what quality level, what color is easy to sell, and how much quantity is needed.

"In addition to the umbrella I saw today? Although the umbrella is not very strong, it may not be used for many years, but the color is beautiful and the style is novel. I opened it and saw it in the county. , it shouldn’t be difficult to wholesale a batch.”

Goudan smacked his chin, "How about thinking about electronic watches and radios?"

"What did the fellow say today? Can it work? It's a fast-selling item. I'm worried that we won't be able to get it." They now also know that some goods are not available to everyone. Money still can't buy it.In the final analysis, there is no way, and everyone is tempted by things with great profits.

Speaking of this, the two of them were a little discouraged, but Wang Xuan still made a note first, if there is a chance, let's talk again, if not, it will be the same as last time.

Writing and drawing, the two of them waited until there was no one in the bathroom before going in. They had already washed during the day, so the two washed quickly this time. When they returned to the room, they lay on the bed with their hands and feet spread out in their underpants.

The two of them were not used to wearing pajamas either. They couldn't afford to wear outer clothes in the village before. Where can they wear pajamas with fabric?Boys sleep naked and play around naked since childhood, and sleep wearing a pair of trousers when they are older.The village is still the same now, and the cloth is not rich.I often see shirtless men walking around in summer wearing only a pair of knee pants.

When they were young, they both took off their clothes at night and lay down on the kang. The family was full of men, running around and playing with chickens on the kang.Now both of them sleep with only one pair of underpants, which is basically the same for everyone in the dormitory, boys.Some of them are good-looking, like Wang Xuan and Goudan, although they are thinner, but their body proportions are good.Most of the male students are as thin as sticks. Eighteen or nineteen-year-old boys are still very thin. The ribs are clearly visible. They still walk around in shorts at night without realizing it. of.

And the clothes are often worn to bed and wrinkled in the morning, how to wear them out?The ones are broken quickly, unlike pants, even if the patches are patched and the color is washed out, it is still invisible to outsiders.

The outside is bright and the inside is tattered. This is the principle of people's dressing at this time.

But there is also a disadvantage of taking off your clothes to sleep, that is, the skin is easy to touch the other party, and then "it's so hot, you go over, the skin will be sweaty when it touches the sticky."

Wang Xuan yawned again and again, "I think so too, if I go over there, I'll fall to the ground. If I have extra straw mats, I'd rather sleep on the floor, because it's cooler."

"That's right, I'll take a look tomorrow and buy a few quilts to go home. It will be cold in two months. The shopping mall should sell them. It would be great if you don't need cotton tickets or cloth tickets."

It was really difficult to get cotton in the old family. Chen Zhengguo mailed a quilt to the family many years ago, and they have been using it until now. When they first entered junior high school, they huddled together to cover it in winter.

"Well, there's a lot to add. Remember to write it down tomorrow so you don't forget it. I won't be able to come for a long time after this time..." Wang Xuan yawned as he spoke, his voice getting lower and lower, and he was about to fall asleep No matter how hot and sleepy I am, I still have to sleep.
