Chapter 18

The freight bus is much faster than the green bus. There are not so many stops on the road.

The three brothers fulfilled their promise and helped the driver unload the goods all the way. They returned to Shangbei less than 6 o'clock in more than two hours.

The driver is also good. The three children on the road helped a lot, and Qi Lei's mouth is sweet. I heard they were going to get off, so I ran a little longer and took them to the corner.

Instead of going home, the three carried two bags of socks to Qi Lei's grandfather's house.

Qi Lei's grandparents and Qi Lei's third uncle Qi Guodong live together, which is also a small yard with a bungalow.

When the three brothers entered the hospital, the third uncle was not at home and grandma Qi was watering the flowers.

See three children carrying a big package come in, still curious, "what thing?"

The three were not in a hurry and asked for food with their mouths open.

I chewed two steamed stuffed buns in the morning, and my heart was close to my back long ago.

Grandma Qi had been crazy all day when she was just three bastards. Just as the old couple had just finished eating, she hurried to the kitchen to cook and added another dish.

Grandpa Qi Lei was listening to the radio in the room. He knew it was Qi Lei and paced out with his back and hands.

Arrogant on his face, the Beatles pressed, "why didn't you come yesterday? Didn't you finish the exam the day before yesterday?"

Qi Haiting has Qi Guojun at the age of 30, and Qi Lei at the age of 30, so although Qi Lei is only 16, the old man is more than 70.

After more than ten years of retirement, he is more and more like an old child. If something goes wrong, it won't work.

Especially when his grandson came to see him one day later, he was not happy.

Of course, another reason is that Qi Haiting married three wives and gave birth to 11 children, but his relationship with him as a father is very tense.

In addition to the youngest Qi Guodong around, even the eldest son, Qi Guojun, more or less complained about the father.

Therefore, the more he gets old, the more lonely he becomes. He has a preference for Qi Lei and becomes upset when he doesn't see him for a few days.

Qi Lei naturally coaxed the old man's anger. It's just two months after the operation. He's the biggest in the family!

It's not easy to coax, coax happy, and then lead out the business.

Zha Huhu said that the three of them wanted to do something big in the summer vacation and wanted to go to the night market. For the time being, they didn't want to let their family know and let the old man keep it a secret.

Grandpa Qi snapped his thigh, "OK! Grandpa supports you!"

"Why don't you study well? You can do well if you don't study well. That's what the old man should do! It's called responsibility!"

The three brothers immediately Qi Jian thumb, "this old revolution, consciousness is high!"

As soon as Grandpa Qi heard this, he couldn't be proud at once. "That's! I think back then..."

Come on, let's start talking about how he was back then.

The so-called next generation relatives are like this. Let alone selling socks, his grandson sold him. The old man is willing to sell him.

Look at your grandson, how you look.

"Good thing! I firmly support it. Is there enough money? I'll give you some more?"

Qi Lei quickly shook his head, "no! Enough, the three of us have lucky money."

"Good!" the old man was more happy, pointing to Qi Lei and staring at beads, "my eldest grandson must be more promising than his father!"

If Qi Guojun can die of anger here, I'll live enough. Are you still a father?

After dinner at Grandpa's house, the three brothers stayed for a while and chatted with the old man and wife for a while. They didn't see Qi Lei's third uncle come back and didn't go home until more than eight o'clock.

For the three children who haven't seen anyone in a day, parents have long been used to it.

In this era, children are free range, especially in winter and summer vacation. They can't catch the shadow for a few days before they start to worry.

When I came back, I was even more relieved when I had dinner with the old man.

Guo Lihua and Qi Guojun didn't ask where the white sky was. Seeing Qi Lei paralyzed in bed, they asked him to wash his face and sleep again, so they went back to the house to watch TV dramas.

Just a little while later, Guo Lihua went out to watch a TV play at Tang Yi's house and spent the night at Tang's house.

Wu Lianshan and Tang Chenggang came to Qi Lei's house. Three men in their forties held a bottle of Harbin beer while chatting and guarding the central five sets.

Qi Lei remembered that it was the world cup in France.

But the three old men were destined to be disappointed. Whether it is the Netherlands that Wu's father likes, or the Italy that Qi's father and Tang's father believe, it will sink the sand and break the halberd.

Because victory... Belongs to France and Qizu.

Tang Yi and Wu Ning also collapsed in bed as soon as they got home.

It's just that neither of them can sleep.

This day is very tired, but this day is also very magical. It can be called a feat for them at the age of 16.

Tang Yi even thought that if old Tang knew about brother Tang's feat today, he would have to take out another thousand oceans?

Wu Xiaojian ponders how to spend the money he has earned. After buying Walkman, is it enough to change a pair of sneakers.

Well, even if you forget the sneakers, it's more reliable to get a fashionable brand-name casual dress. In high school, there must be many beautiful new students.

After all, I'm only sixteen days old. My second child is not Qi Lei's reborn two skin face. I can't be calm and calm.

In this regard, Qi Lei took care of it in one sentence.

Holding the guitar, he looked at them jokingly, "why don't... You two just admit defeat and kiss one without shame."

"Grandma!" Tang Xiaoyi blew up directly, "you are not ashamed! Brother is ashamed!"

Wu Xiaojian made up her mind. In front of the whole class, she shivered and cried, "I have to work in No. 2 middle school in the future!"

The focus shifted from the stall to the gambling appointment.

At about 4:30, Qi Lei gave an order and the three brothers killed the night market bravely.

Just before departure, Tang Xiaoyi and Wu Xiaojian went home.

When they came out, they both wore baseball caps, took out the big sunglasses of Tang dad and Wu dad, and put on a high collar coat with a tight cover.

Tang Yi breathed out, "it's more down-to-earth!"

Qi Lei is also speechless. After a while, it will be dark. Wear big sunglasses. Go see the ghost? Besides, people in summer are not afraid to cover up prickly heat?

Don't bother to pay attention to them. Three people have a bicycle and stall equipment on the rear rack. (Tang Yi takes a white sheet and several cardboard boxes from his home.)

First go to Grandpa Qi Lei's socks and go straight to the night market.

...

Unlike night markets in later generations, which mainly focus on snacks and delicious food, in the 1990s, morning markets and night markets were also the main circulation places of living materials in northern cities and towns, playing a vital role in life.

For the north, which is always half a beat slower than the south, supermarket stores are still new. In these days, you have to go to grain and oil stores to buy rice and noodles, markets and morning markets to buy meat and vegetables, and the night market is the first choice to buy some daily necessities.

Only more formal shopping, or when you need valuable goods, can you go to the mall for consumption.

Night market is also the most frequent leisure activity for urban residents in summer.

Therefore, you can find anything you need here except not selling houses, refrigerators and color TV sets.

Shangbei night market is in the south section of Wenhua Road, from the intersection of Sandao street to the east gate of the textile factory.

As long as after work time, both sides of the road will be occupied by vendors, which is spectacular.

It was already more than five o'clock when they arrived at the night market, and some vendors began to push carts and carts into the market.

In this regard, Qi Lei did not grab the best stall positions with adults, but found a relatively good position with few people.

Pick up two bricks by the side of the road and separate a position. It's your own.

There are no fixed stalls in the night market. It only depends on who comes early and accounts for early.

In addition to the section just entering the night market, there are good business seats in the middle section. There are few disputes over robbing places in other places. After all, the place is large.

Generally, after a while, there will be joint law enforcement (the predecessor of urban management) to collect the booth fee, which is 5 yuan per family.

I will give you a number to prove that this place is yours tonight, so there is no conflict.

Since entering the night market, Tang Yi and Wu Ning have become quails again. They are timid and can't let go at all. I only know that I don't even talk much after Qi Lei.

Qi Lei doesn't care. Everything is difficult at the beginning. It takes a process.

If he hadn't reborn two skinned faces, he might not be as good as them!

Lay the cardboard on the ground and a layer of white cloth sheet on it, and you can place the goods.

Tang Yi and Wu Ning finally found a chance to start. They held the coat collar in one hand and stood tall. The other hand took it out of the sock bag. Qi Lei put it in front of them alone.

Halfway through, Tang Xiaoyi finally couldn't stand the repressive atmosphere and came to Qi Lei's ear, "brother stone, why don't we go back? That's too much!"

Qi Lei raised his eyebrows, "admit defeat?"

Tang Yi nodded, "admit defeat! Brother, please have a summer night, all right?"

Qi Lei quit and said with a bad smile, "no, hug and kiss."

Tang Yi was speechless. "Consider a summer night!"

"No! Just hug and kiss."

"Sun you!" Tang Xiaoyi was defeated and his teeth were about to break. "Wait!"

I had to go back and continue to take out my socks like a thief.

Yes, be a thief!

For children of this age, going out to earn clean money is tantamount to being a thief.

The pride that has no place to put, and the fear of leaving the shelter of adults for the first time, are in your heart.

His hands and feet were numb and his lips were wooden. If they hadn't gambled there, Tang Xiaoyi and Wu Xiaojian would have fled.

After a while, vendors came to the left and right.

Unfortunately, there is also an aunt selling socks on the left, but she is professional.

It's a two wheeled flat car, one and a half meters long, flat on it, and small lattices for placing goods. There are also simple small shelves on the flat plate, which can also hang goods.

In addition to socks, there are other small commodities, which are very convenient to sell along the street or stop to be a stall.

Tang Yiyi looked at it, and he could not make complaints about Wu Xiaojian's "eight roads."

Let him say so, Wu Ning has no face.
