Chapter 1: Chapter 1
"The next stop is Heishui Street. Passengers who want to get off, please prepare to get off through the back door."
The bus started from the suburbs of City B, made a small circle and slowly turned into the commercial street. The streets extended in all directions and were bustling with pedestrians.
The voice announcer pronounced this line with a clear accent, which was different from the normal Mandarin. It sounded like a machine imitation, and even the increase in the final sound seemed deliberate.
Xie Yu sat in the corner of the last row and turned to look out the window at the blazing sunshine.
I feel like the air conditioning temperature in the car is too low and I feel hot.
The bus was originally driving slowly, but now it was surrounded by people on all sides, and its speed dropped directly to that of a classic car. When it happened to hit a red light, the long car body shook violently for a while, and then slowly stopped.
Xie Yu held the phone and looked out the window while waiting for the other party to answer the call.
The phone beeped several times and finally connected. A familiar and noisy voice came out, followed by a woman's voice. Her voice was louder, and it directly drowned out the chaos. She was bold and a little mute. I didn't know who she was arguing with. .
"Who knows when the six trucks of goods will arrive? There is no certainty. Those grandsons are pushing and pushing all day long."
"He said tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and the time changed endlessly. In the end, he told me directly that they didn't know either... Fuck you."
Xie Yu listened calmly to the woman's scolding.
"What the hell! I don't even dare to answer the phone. Now, I'm playing tricks with you. I'm not going out to find out what the bitch pulled out of her asshole. Who the hell dares to mess with me, Xu Yanmei, in the entire Blackwater Street."
Seeing these dirty words . The more he cursed, the worse it sounded, as if he could yell an 800-word essay without pausing. Only then did Xie Yu remind the other party: "Aunt Mei."
All the curse words were instantly silenced.
Xu Yanmei waved her hands to the others, shut her mouth, and even put out the cigarette between her fingers without hesitation, then pressed it on the corner of the table. He also pointed to the unexpected phone call on the table, indicating that the "Six Carloads of Goods Are Not Shipped on Time" crusade can be adjourned.
She finished suffocating her cigarette and retracted her long legs that were straddling the simple desk. Her tone was gentle that no one else had ever heard before. She was simply not the same person as the crazy woman who used two tons of swear words just now.
"We got together to chat casually during lunch break. Nothing happened. We were just joking. Life is so ordinary, and swearing occasionally is good for the mood..."
Xie Yu didn't expose it and just asked: "Are you smoking? Smoking. Is it good for your health?"
Xu Yanmei's whole body was filled with the smell of nicotine. She opened her eyes and told lies. She thought that this brat couldn't get out of the phone anyway: "I don't smoke. I quit smoking after you stopped me. Hey, don't mention this to me. If you mention it, I'm afraid I'll get addicted to smoking again and you won't be able to stimulate me. "
It's quite pretending, whoever stimulates the other.
Xie Yu listened to her aging voice, which was getting worse and worse - it could only suddenly become clearer when she was cursing, and he could tell with his toes whether the words were true or false.
"It's a holiday. I heard your mother say a while ago that you finished your last exam on the 20th and you didn't reply to the messages I sent you."
Xu Yanmei continued to change the subject: "How did you do in the exam? I was looking for it online. It took me a long time to find the sentences. Those sentences were all very well-written, and I almost made myself sick when I was looking for them. "
-Don't hesitate when facing the exam papers, try your best to achieve good results, let your dreams set sail in the exam room, and make your life better. Swim in the ocean of knowledge! Little bastard, come on for the exam!
Xie Yu didn't know why he could recite this text message verbatim, which was nothing new, looked like wholesale quotations, and was completely inconsistent with the aesthetics of modern teenagers.
The bus just entered the tunnel, blocking the burning light outside, and the surrounding things darkened.
Xie Yu was originally dressed in black, and now he was completely hidden in the darkness. He leaned back, stretched out his two long legs that were barely squeezed together due to lack of space, and smiled casually: "Then you are still looking for it. It's not like you don't know what my grades are. What do you want me to say in return? Thank you for the encouragement and try not to be the last one?"
After less than two minutes of rest, there was someone else here, Comrade Xu Yanmei, the first sister of Heishui Street. They started shouting: "You must be a black shop here. It's also a wholesale market. The prices are so high. It's a scam."
"...What did you say?" Being disturbed, Xu Yanmei didn't hear Xie Yu's answer clearly, "It's too damn noisy. A group of idiots came here and wanted to destroy the store. I'll buy a loudspeaker tomorrow. I still don't believe I can't control these guys."
Xie Yu tightened his fingers on the phone slightly and spoke twice. I turned around, but in the end I still didn't say anything: "It's nothing."
"I saw the text message. I was busy reviewing and forgot to reply."
"Okay, okay, although our grades are a little bit behind, don't be discouraged. We can't do it until the last moment." Who are you to be afraid of if you admit defeat?"
Xu Yanmei's voice became louder as she spoke, covering the receiver and yelling at the customers who kept telling people they were cheating: "...What are you doing? You are the one who is cheating me. You son of a bitch, you can buy it or not, but if you don't, don't stay here!"
The front of the car exited the tunnel, and large swaths of sunlight came in again, all the way to the rear of the car.
Xie Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and saw the familiar scenery outside the window, knowing that he was almost at the station.
Today is Monday, the third day of summer vacation and also a working day. There were not many people in the car.
Several students were sitting in the front row. The girls wore ponytails. When they went out to play, they carried their schoolbags and were very well-behaved. Their clothes were white.
Although Blackwater Street is considered a commercial street, prices are not high, and it cannot be described as prosperous. The street construction is considered poor even in the suburbs, and the buildings are dilapidated. However, this cheap living culture has attracted many people without high spending power, especially middle and high school students.
Xie Yu stared at the transparent glass pendant with a little pink in it on the girl's hairband, shining through the light.
"We're here, ready to get off." The girl swung her ponytail and stood up holding on to the pole, "The last time I had fried rice cakes was here, I'll take you there."
At the same time -
"Heishui Street South Station We're here. Passengers who are ready to get off, please get off through the back door. Thank you for your cooperation."
The car stopped slowly, and the moment the door opened, a wave of heat and hot wind rushed in from the door.
Xu Yanmei thought she heard wrongly: "You bastard, where are you? Why did I hear the station announcement was Heishui Street."
Xie Yu got up and got off the car: "Comrade Xu Yanmei, I have ten minutes to get to the entrance of Guangmao , think about how to clean up the smell of cigarette smoke, think about how to explain to me, and also think about how you promised me in the first place. Come to see me with your head raised."
Xu Yanmei looked back at the cigarette ashes on the desk . A vat of cigarette butts in the vat: "..."
"Sister Mei, what's wrong? Why is your face so sad?"
Xu Yanmei opened the door and walked out, rolled up her sleeves and went into the warehouse to help the shopkeepers work together: "Don't mention it, I'm so worried. "I am."
Xu Yanmei runs a clothing wholesale market on Heishui Street. She started the clothing business more than ten years ago. At first, she and a few sisters set up a stall at the street corner, and later established a successful store. , and finally took down the two floors of the Guangmao Building in the center of Heishui Street - hundreds of small shops gathered on these two floors, forming such a "wholesale market".
As the proprietress of the wholesale market, Sister Mei is well-known in Blackwater Street. He is also known for his righteousness and is a hero among women.
"Really sad? Why do I feel like you can't hold back the smile on your lips?" one of the shopkeepers said.
Xu Yanmei said: "What nonsense are you talking about? By the way, do you have any perfume or something? Spray it on me. Xiao Yuer will be here soon. I smell like cigarettes all over my body. If he catches me, he will definitely give me a scolding."
The shop owner supported He stood up and patted the dust on his trouser legs: "It turns out to be your precious son. Look how scared you are. You... I have perfume. I'll go find it for you."
"Can you not be afraid? We My little Yu'er is a good boy." Xu Yanmei's voice was very low when she said this. She used her knife to sharply cut open a bag of tying rope, and said to herself, "I can't do anything wrong. "
... He's not his biological son. He's just his godson."
"What a good kid? My son is in the same class as Xie Yu. He's a thorn in his side. Not to mention his grades. If someone dares to sit at the same table with him, he seems to be the boss of the school, so Sister Mei treats him like a treasure and doesn't even say bad words in front of him. "
"I heard that he cheated in the high school entrance examination . , otherwise with his grades, he would have been able to pass the exam. Although the No. 2 Middle School is not a good school, the general high school at the bottom is also a general high school."
"Forget it, don't say it, just let it go. , go do your work."
When Xu Yanmei finished untying the ropes and came out, the group of chatty clerks had dispersed, each standing in front of the stall that was only three or four feet wide and shouting: "Two pieces are 99, two pieces are 99! If you miss it, wait until next year! ! All down jackets are on sale at a loss!"
"Take a look, two for 99!"
Xu Yanmei walked over with a strong smell of perfume: "I'll go out and call me if you need anything. There are those ignorant idiots, you don't need to reason with them, you know, just scold them and tell them nonsense. The truth is for people to listen to, not for idiots."
Xie Yu took a detour and ran away. It took three grocery stores to finally find a speaker with an amplifier.
Red and white, it was finally dug out from under a pile of groceries. In order to show that although it had accumulated a layer of dust, it was still functional, the store immediately plugged it in and played "Damn Tenderness" on the spot.
It's truly powerful and deafening.
Xie Yu was so shocked that his ears hurt. He took out the money and said, "Okay, how much?"
The store owner was closer to the speaker and didn't hear the five words Xie Yu said. He wiped it with his sleeve. With gray hair on his head, he was hysterically shouting at the top of his lungs to sell. It's hard for the old man to shout out such a high-pitched voice despite his age: "——Durable! Not easy to use. Refund guaranteed! Refund guaranteed!"
"How much does it cost? " The quality is guaranteed! If you have any questions , just ask me! The
name of the store will not change! CCB Grocery!" Clean. Xie Yu pressed the switch button expressionlessly, and his ears finally became quiet: "How much." "Two, twenty-five." The old man made a sign of two, then a five, and then said: "Do you want it?" I'll wrap it up for you." Before Xie Yu could nod, the old man had already picked up the plastic bag and put the speaker in it, and quickly pulled out a few pieces of unknown origin from the thick paper on the table. Stuff it into a plastic bag. ——Gynecological hospital, painless abortion. ——The gospel of men, the second one, half price. Opening a grocery store was not enough. He also had the important task of distributing leaflets. Xie Yu had a new understanding of the mobility and professionalism of the people on Heishui Street. The old man didn't stuff enough, so he threw in a few more. Judging from the general color, those leaflets were not repetitive: "Side business, side business. Respond to the party's call, actively strive for a well-off society, and strive to get rich... I'm looking for your money." , take it, welcome to visit next time. "
