Chapter One

"The next stop, Heishui Street, please prepare to get off at the back door if you want to get off."

The bus departed from the outskirts of City B and slowly turned into the commercial street after a small half circle.

The voice announcer pronounced this line of characters in a melodious manner, which is different from the usual Mandarin.

Xie Yu sat in the corner of the last row, turning his head to look at the blazing sunlight outside the window.

I feel that the temperature of the air conditioner in the car is too low and it feels hot.

The bus was originally going slowly, but now it is surrounded by people on all sides, and the speed is directly reduced to a classic car. It happened to hit a red light, and the long body shook violently for a while, and then stopped slowly.

Xie Yu held the phone and waited for the other person to answer the phone while looking out the window.

The phone beeped several times and finally connected, a familiar and noisy voice came out, followed by a woman's voice, her voice was even louder, directly covering the chaos, heroic and a little hoarse, don't know who she was arguing with .

"Who knows when the six trucks of goods will arrive, there is no guarantee, those grandchildren push three and four all day long."

"One day, tomorrow, another day, the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, and finally told me that they don't know either... fuck it."

Xie Yu calmly listened to the woman's scolding.

"Shut up! I don't even dare to answer the phone. Now, play missing with me. I don't want to go out and ask about things pulled out of the bastard's ass. Who the hell dares to mess with me Xu Yanmei in the entire Black Water Street."

Seeing that the swear words were getting worse and worse, as if he could shout an eight-hundred-character essay without pausing, Xie Yu then reminded the other party, "Aunt Mei."

All swear words are instantly silenced.

Xu Yanmei waved at the others, closed her mouth, and snuffed out the cigarette between her fingers without hesitation, and pressed it on the corner of the table. He pointed to the unexpectedly connected phone call on the table, indicating that the meeting of the 'Six-Trucks Unscheduled Shipment Crusade' could be dismissed.

After pinching the cigarette, she pulled back the long legs that straddled the shabby desk, with a tone that no one else had ever heard before, and she was simply not the same person as the two-ton mad woman just now.

"We get together and chat casually during our lunch break. It's nothing to do, just kidding. Life is so dull, and occasionally swearing is good for the mood..."

Xie Yu did not reveal it, but asked, "What about smoking, is smoking good for your health?"

Xu Yanmei smelled nicotine all over her body, she opened her eyes and said nonsense, thinking that this stinky boy couldn't get out of the phone anyway: "I didn't smoke, I quit after you didn't let me smoke, don't mention it to me. Stubble, I mentioned that I am afraid that I will be addicted to smoking again, and it cannot stimulate me."

Pretend to be quite similar, who stimulates who.

Xie Yu listened to her increasingly serious old smoky voice - that voice only suddenly became clear when she was scolding people, and she could even know whether it was true or not with her toes.

"Let's go on vacation. I heard from your mother a while ago that you finished the last exam on the 20th, and you didn't reply to the information sent to you."

Xu Yanmei continued to change the subject and said, "How did you do in the test? I just found the sentences on the Internet for a long time. Those sentences were all written and written, and I almost vomited when I was looking for them."

- Don't hesitate in the face of exam papers, try your best to get good grades, let your dreams set sail in the exam room, and let your life swim in the ocean of knowledge! Little brat, come on for the exam!

Xie Yu also didn't know why this text message was nothing new, it looked like a wholesale quotation, and it didn't conform to the aesthetics of modern teenagers. He was able to memorize it word for word.

The bus just entered the tunnel, blocking the scorching light outside, and the surrounding things darkened.

Xie Yu was already dressed in black, but now he was completely hidden in the darkness. He leaned back, stretched out his two long legs that were barely shrunk together due to lack of space, and smiled casually: "Then you are still looking for it. It's not that you don't know what my grades are. What do you want me to give back to you? Thank you for your encouragement and try not to be the last one?"

It only took less than two minutes to rest, and someone from Comrade Xu Yanmei, the first sister of Heishui Street, shouted again: "You guys are a black shop, and there is a wholesale market. The prices are so high, it's obvious that they are tricking people."

"...What did you say?" Being disturbed, Xu Yanmei didn't hear Xie Yu's answer clearly, "It's so fucking noisy, and there are a bunch of idiots who want to smash the store, so I'll buy a loudspeaker tomorrow, I still don't believe it. I can't stop these grandchildren."

Xie Yu tightened his fingers on the phone slightly, and the words twitched on his lips, but in the end he didn't say anything: "It's nothing."

"I saw the text message. I was busy reviewing and forgot to reply."

"Okay, good, although our results are a little worse, but don't be discouraged, you can't admit defeat until the last moment, who is afraid of who is it?"

Xu Yanmei grew louder as she spoke, covered the receiver, and shouted at the few customers who were reluctant to talk about them, "...what are you doing, you are the one who is cheating, whether you like to buy or not, no. Buy it, don't stick it here!"

The front of the car was drilled out of the tunnel entrance, and a large swath of sunlight came in again, and it has been sprinkled along the front of the car and onto the tail of the car.

Xie Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and seeing the familiar scene outside the window, he knew that he was about to arrive.

Today is Monday, the third day of the summer vacation, which is also a working day. There were not many people in the car.

A few students sat in the front row, the girls had ponytails, and went out to play, very well-behaved, carrying schoolbags, and wearing white clothes.

Although this area of ​​Heishui Street is a commercial street, the prices are really not high, and it doesn't match the word "prosperous". The street construction is poor in the suburbs, and the buildings are dilapidated. However, this cheap living culture has attracted many people without high spending power, especially junior high school students.

Xie Yu stared at the transparent glass pendant on the girl's hair ring with a little pink in it, shining through the light.

"It's here, I'm ready to get off." The girl shook her ponytail and stood up with the pole, "I ate fried rice cakes here last time, and I'll take you there."

at the same time

"Heishuijie South Station is here. Passengers who are ready to get off, please get off at the back door. Thank you for your cooperation."

The car stopped slowly, and the moment the door opened, a heat wave rushed in from the door with the hot wind.

Xu Yanmei thought she had heard it wrong: "Bunt, where are you? How did I hear the station report on Heishui Street."

Xie Yu got up and got out of the car: "Comrade Xu Yanmei, I will be at the gate of Guangmao in ten minutes. You should think about how to clean up the smell of smoke on your body, think about how to explain it to me, and also think about how you talked to me in the first place. I promise. Come see me with your head up."

Xu Yanmei looked back at the cigarette butts in the ashtray on her desk: "..."

"Sister Mei, what's wrong, why are you so sad."

Xu Yanmei pushed open the door and walked out. She rolled up her sleeves and went into the warehouse to help the shopkeepers work together: "Forget it, worry about me."

Xu Yanmei runs a clothing wholesale market on Heishui Street. She started the clothing business more than ten years ago. At first, she set up a stall on the street with a few little sisters. There are two floors in the Guangmao Building in the center of Heishui Street - there are hundreds of small shops on these two floors, forming such a "wholesale market".

As the proprietress of the wholesale market, Sister Mei is very famous in the area of ​​Heishui Street. It is also a well-known righteousness, a hero in women's middle school.

"It's so sad? Why do I feel like you can't hold the smile on your lips anymore," said one of the shopkeepers.

Xu Yanmei said, "What nonsense are you talking about? By the way, do you have any perfume or something? Give me a spray. Xiao Yuer will be here soon. I smell like smoke all over my body. If he catches me, I will definitely scold me."

The owner stood up and patted the ashes on his trouser legs: "It turned out to be your precious son. Look at what you are afraid of. You are all... I have the perfume, I will go and find it for you."

"Can you not be afraid, our little Yu'er is a good boy." Xu Yanmei said this in a very low voice, she exerted strength in her hand, slashed a bag of rope with a knife, and said to herself, "I can't bring him down."

"...It's not his own, isn't he the godson he recognizes."

"What a good boy? My son is in the same class as Xie Yu, that's a thorn in the face. No one in the class dares to sit at the same table with him. When he holds it like a baby, he usually doesn't even say swear words in front of him."

"I heard that he still cheated in the high school entrance examination. Otherwise, with his grades, he would be able to pass the test. Although No. 2 Middle School is not a good school, the general high school at the bottom is also a general high school."

"Forget it, forget it, don't talk, let it all go, and go to work."

When Xu Yanmei came out after removing the rope, the group of chattering clerks had dispersed, each standing in front of the booth that was no more than three or four feet wide and shouting hard: "Two pieces of 99, two pieces of 99! Miss today and wait for next year! All down jackets are out of season. Clearance at a loss!"

"Take a walk and take a look, two pieces of 99!"

Xu Yanmei walked over with the strong scent of perfume: "I'm going out, and if there is anything, call me. If there are such ignorant idiots, you don't need to reason with them. Do you know? It's a bullshit truth. The truth is for people to listen to, not for fools."

Xie Yu took a detour, ran three grocery stores, and finally found a speaker with a loudspeaker.

Red and white, it was finally turned out from under a pile of groceries. In order to show that although it had accumulated a layer of dust, but the function was still powerful, the store immediately connected the power and played "Damn Tenderness" on the spot.

Really powerful and deafening.

Xie Yu's ears hurt from the shock, and he took out the money and said, "Okay, how much is it?"

The store owner was even closer to the loudspeaker, and he didn't even hear the five words Xie Yu said. He wiped the dust on his head with his sleeves, and hysterically shouted at the sales pitch. Can roar out this high-pitched voice: "durable! It's not easy to use it! It's a refund!"

"How much?"

"Quality is guaranteed! If you have any questions, feel free to contact me! The shop will not change its name or surname! CCB groceries!"

"..."

A hand stretched out in front of the old man, slender, with well-defined joints and neatly trimmed fingernails.

Xie Yu pressed the switch button expressionlessly, and his ears were finally quiet: "How much."

"Two, twenty-five."

The old man gestured for a two, then a five, and then said, "Do you want it? I'll wrap it up for you if you want it."

Before Xie Yu could nod, the old man had already picked up the plastic bag and put the speaker in it, and quickly took out a few sheets of unknown origin from the thick paper on the table and stuffed them into the plastic bag.

——Gynecological hospital, painless abortion.

- Men's Gospel, second root, half price.

It is not enough to open a grocery store. With the heavy responsibility of distributing flyers, Xie Yu has a new understanding of the mobilization and business level of the people of Heishui Street.

The old man didn't have enough stuff, so he threw in a few more. From the general color, those flyers were not repeated: "Sideline, sideline. Respond to the party's call, actively go to a well-off society, and strive to make a fortune... Find your money. , take it, welcome next time."
