This is Fengchun's hand, shining shoes. It was still Fengchun's hand, shining shoes, and fifteen minutes had passed. Sister Mi glanced at the clock on the cash register, stretched out her skinny fingers, touched the cigarette and lighter, took out a cigarette, put it between her lips, lit it with a puff, approached the flame, and pulled it out forcefully, letting the smoke entwine After playing for a week, he only turned his face to one side, tilted his mouth, yelled to the side, and blew a long breath without caring, as if there was no one else around. Sister Mi's eyes are squinted, her fingers are yellow, her face is dark, her lips are purple, and her lipstick is basically white, but she likes to wear it and thinks she is a woman.Just like that, with a puff of a cigarette, Sister Mi's foundation for being a soldier came out.In terms of appearance, Sister Mi is considered quiet and delicate, but no matter how quiet and delicate a woman is, she will stay in the army for eight years, and then she will sit among the people at any time in her life.Sister Mi speaks loudly and boldly, and smiles with confidence; when she gets anxious, she immediately has a military spirit to attack people.Sister Mi later worked in the Curtain World in Hanzheng Street for ten years, doing curtain fabric business, both wholesale and retail.Hanzheng Street is the first small commodity market to recover. Desperate and sensitive prisoners released from labor camps and other social idlers are here to smell the atmosphere of reform and opening up and throw their arms out. Therefore, there are all kinds of fish and dragons here. If it is sold wrong, it will shape Sister Mi again.This time the direction of shaping is A Qing's wife in the revolutionary model opera, a teahouse proprietress.The current Miss Mi is seeing all directions, listening to all directions, bold and cautious, not panic when encountering things, talking about people when she sees people, talking nonsense when she sees ghosts, and she is alive and well; her face naturally has a look that is used to the world , there is a lot of detachment and disdain that are not in harmony with this world.Such a woman seems to be very big in small businesses, and she doesn't ask for help.Passers-by come and go, and those who are interested will inevitably have to guess and worry about how this Slap Dayi shoe shine shop can live in the bustling downtown of Hankou?Sister Mi has lived every day, every minute and every second has been passed from the tip of her heart, no one can know it, and there is nothing to say.

Miss Mi glanced at the clock on the cash register again: twenty minutes have passed! Fengchun still pouted her buttocks, spinning diligently like a top, polishing the pair of leather shoes that had been wiped out by her. "Damn it!" These three words silently but fiercely moved Sister Mi's lips.Many times, people have to have a spoken word to relieve hatred. It doesn't mean anything, it means to relieve hatred.I don't know who I hate, I just hate.People in Wuhan used to say "Damn it!" Sister Mi joined the army at the age of sixteen, and in the army she used to say "Fuck!"

As far as the leather shoes polished in Fengchun are concerned, they are indeed a pair of top-notch leather shoes. Sister Mi can tell that they are either Italian or British, but so what?Damn it, this business took too long! "Time is the only criterion for testing truth" - this is one of Miss Mi's aphorisms.Epigrams, mottoes and foul language are all cultivated in the life of the army.Miss Mi likes it very much.It is true that time is the only criterion for testing truth, such as love.Another example is shoe shine.Shoeshine is easier to explain than love: Five years ago, when you shined shoes, you had to untie the shoelaces for customers, and you had to wipe the corners and crevices one by one. ten minutes.With the soaring prices, the most common shoe polish that was taken all the way from Qianjin has risen from three yuan to three yuan in just two or three years.What makes no sense is that the price of everything in the market is increasing, but shoe shine shops cannot.When the Hanhuang store on the Liudu Bridge wanted to raise it to five yuan, some customers said angrily: "Aren't you a chain store of the Shenyang Yiyuan Shoe Shine Service Company? It was already two yuan in Wuhan, and it went up?!" Even passers-by who don't shine shoes, seeing the notice at the entrance of Hanhuang store, feel injustice, saying: "Hey! Now even the price of shoeshine has risen!"Fuck it, that's public opinion.Public opinion is arbitrary in many matters.Then it's up to you to be arrogant, Miss Mi knows how to adapt.Miss Mi didn't raise the price anymore, she insisted on two yuan.Is she stupid?She is not stupid.There are only wrong buys and no wrong sells in the world: Is it okay to not go up in the open and to go up in the dark?Is it okay to polish shoes but not to polish other shoes?Immediately, leather boots and sandals are no longer called leather shoeshine, but called "beauty"; casual shoes and travel footwear are also called "maintenance" instead of shine.There are only two or three sandals with thin fur hooks, and Miss Mi can be amazed when she sees them: "Wow, these are wonderful shoes, you are the only one who can wear them all on the street and make them personalized!" Just this sentence, it will definitely be done.After some "cosmetology", she will pay you five yuan, and she will pay you eight yuan.If she didn't pay, then she herself would turn red and be unable to come down from the stage.The concept of fashion is something that big shops bully customers. Generally, people who like to go shopping in the bustling city are most afraid of being seen as old-fashioned by others, and are not afraid of paying an extra three to five yuan.Now doing business has developed to the point of playing with concepts.Concept is money.In addition to playing with concepts, it is time to play.What used to be a triple-double is now determined to be a six-double.And once the customer turnover is faster and more people come in and out of the store, the popularity will be higher.People are crazy, and you can make money if you drive people crazy, that's for sure!The only problem with Sister Mi is: she is the boss, she does not polish the shoes herself, and the time is not in her hands, it depends on the flexibility of all the workers.

"Hey! You must always grasp the time!" Before opening the door every day, Sister Mi would say fiercely, and then smiled at both dimples, "Please!" She can hit and touch, and Sister Mi knows it well.The shoeshine girls are well-versed by her, how to pinch them as they want.Who is Miss Mi?It was the man who became a millionaire on Hanzheng Street! Fengchun has been here for more than three months, so she should understand.Of course she understands.If Fengchun is naive, sister Mi will tolerate her for three days at most.Three days of tolerance is long enough, and this is to save face for the neighbors.Miss Mi believes that rabbits don’t eat grass beside their nests, and the military calls “rabbits don’t eat grass beside their nests” as “military-civilian joint construction”. This is a very important interpersonal relationship, and even if you lose money, you have to make a smile.But everything has a bottom line: I will let you play at a loss, three days is enough kindness.For those who really come to see the job, the trial is only for one day.Sister Mi is kind all day long.Based on Sister Mi's eyes, when a customer enters the store, a leather shoe is stretched out, and a worker goes up to polish the shoes, just a few actions, Sister Mi already has a good idea of ​​whether it is a material for shoe shine.Sister Mi didn't ask her to leave immediately, she stayed for a day, got two free meals, and could drink chrysanthemum tea as she pleases, isn't that kind and what is it?Most of the shoeshine girls are family members of migrant workers, and Sister Mi is all helping the poor.

Fengchun is not a family member of a migrant worker.She is the wife of Zhou Yuan, a super handsome man in Lianbaoli on Shuita Street. Before marriage, she was a white-collar beauty in the most luxurious New World International Trade Office Building in Hankou.That day, Fengchun came to say that she wanted to work part-time, and Miss Mi said, "You scare me? You're playing international jokes on me!" Who knows that Fengchun is quite serious.She answered honestly, "I'm not joking." Sister Mi said bluntly, "Isn't it a joke to be angry with your husband?"

Fengchun was taken aback: "How do you know I'm angry?" Sister Mi just raised her eyebrows in disdain as an answer. Fengchun groaned for a while, then said honestly: "Okay, I admit that I want to show Zhou Yuan. But sister Mi, please rest assured that business is the top priority when you open a shop. As long as you let me try Try, I promise to endure hardships and stand hard work like everyone else, and do my best!" After hearing Fengchun's words, Sister Mi flattened her brows, looked at Fengchun and said, "Hey - I watched you grow up on this street. I thought you were a mouthless and stuffy girl, but I didn't expect to talk. It's quite reliable. No wonder so many girls chase after Yuanyuan, but Yuanyuan runs after you."

Feng Chun just lowered her face and didn't say any sweet words.Looking at Fengchun's attire again, plain face, plain hair, only a few strands of wheat-colored highlights, clean and foreign, wearing jeans, a black sweater, and student sneakers, she seems to be a female college student, thirty-three The year-old looks like twenty-five or twenty-six.Sister Mi had never looked at Fengchun carefully before, and she thought it was quite pleasing to the eye, so she agreed. Now that she agreed, Sister Mi is a smart person who doesn't slander, and said face to face: "Fengchun, let me put the ugly words first! This time, the shoe shine girl is more humble and bitter than you think. Many, you must be fully mentally prepared; two, we are opening a shop to do business, not fulfilling our obligations, your eyes should be bright, and you should be quick, squeeze some water out of the cracks in the rocks, and you are not allowed to go out to the neighbors Talking too much. Just these two, if you can accept it, you can try it for three days first. If you can’t stand it, please go back now.”

Fengchun immediately replied: "I accept!" Three days passed.Another week passed.Sister Mi also saw that this little girl Fengchun was not just a normal obedient girl, but really obedient.Based on her identity, she was just at the door of the house, and acquaintances watched other people's shoes with familiar eyes.Although it is a temporary gamble, it is easier said than done, but Fengchun keeps his word, so he dared to put down his face and persevered to do it.Said that Fengchun is really good, it's because she is not like ordinary girls nowadays, she puts some honey on her lips and puts some electricity on her eyes.Fengchun's eyes do not discharge, her eyes are flat, like the sun on a sunny day, but on this sunny day, her eyes are watery, and all the movements around her are reflected in her heart.A few shoeshine women are still afraid of those higher-grade shoes after working for three to five years. After all, they are rural women who have been in the city for ten or eight years and are not sure about leather shoes.Every spring will take the initiative to meet them and carry on the work.Ordinary leather shoes are taken care of very quickly in spring, just two or three minutes: dusting, oiling, polishing, giving money, and leaving.She understands that the fast pace is the willingness of both parties.Customers enter the store only to sit, put their feet up, take out their mobile phones to send short messages, and the shoe shiners only care to polish their shoes. In the blink of an eye, they "make up a second face".Some shoe shiners even say "goodbye" to customers, and when they see people in spring, she doesn't even say "goodbye" to many people.This made Sister Mi appreciate it even more. Originally, shoe shining is a big business, so there is no need to be too affectionate.Doing her own work neatly, without lifting her eyelids, she shines her shoes every spring, and she can still shine a bit of her own glamor.It seems that the three hundred and sixty lines are indeed the number one scholar.There is really no mean thing in the world, only mean people.

Just because Fengchun is so obedient, and a bit naive, and doesn't talk about others, Sister Mi naturally feels distressed gradually.In fact, Sister Mi and Fengchun both knew it in their hearts at the beginning, they both thought that Fengchun would only last for ten days and a half months, at most a month, and show her husband Zhou Yuan a show.No matter how unwilling Zhou Yuan is to seek peace, he still wants to beg Bai Lai to take Fengchun away.Just because Zhou Yuan's old people live in the joint insurance, the old people can't wait for their offspring to be superior to other people, besides, Fengchun was originally a white-collar worker who graduated from college, and went to be a servant, even though they were angry, they still had face unbearable.But, unexpectedly!Zhou Yuan never showed up.As for Fengchun, she has been carrying it hard for more than three months and still persisting, making herself really like a shoe shiner.Fengchun didn't complain about others, nor scolded Zhou Yuan.Sister Mi has never seen such a young woman like Fengchun who is ready to die when she is angry.I believed in the evil of these two people—Sister Mi thought to herself; then she secretly scolded Zhou Yuan: Fuck this brat!It's obvious that my wife has reached this point, why don't you rush to pick her up!It's okay to be angry for a few days, and pretend not to know, what kind of man is he to eat this kind of heart-wrenching wife?Sister Mi really had to scold Zhou Yuan. As early as the first week of Fengchun's arrival, Sister Mi sent a text message to Zhou Yuan, but Zhou Yuan never responded.If Song Jiangtao is alive, how dare he do such an outrageous thing?Song Jiangtao is no longer alive, Sister Mi is still the boss of the Lianbao, she still has her own style, Zhou Yuan is too old or young now, go fuck it!

That's how it was, uninvited.Sister Mi used to sit comfortably in her shop. The young couple is awkward, it's not a big deal.However, the husband and wife are awkward about this public case, and brought it to Sister Mi, but there is a bottom line: Fengchun can't have an accident in his shoe shine shop. No matter how unreliable Zhou Yuan is, no matter how much Sister Mi feels sorry for Feng Chun, it doesn't mean that Feng Chun will be able to gossip at Sister Mi's shoe shine shop!Wherever Fengchun goes, it has nothing to do with Miss Mi.Now Fengchun is working in Sister Mi's shoe shine shop, and Sister Mi has to cover her.Sister Mi’s shoe shine shop is in her own home, and the entire Shuita Street is a neighborhood where generations of people have interacted. Close neighbors are better than distant relatives. For Zhou Yuan, Sister Mi couldn't explain.Sister Mi couldn't explain to the neighbors in the neighborhood and the elderly.My eighty-six-year-old mother-in-law, whom everyone respects, lives above the shoe shine shop, and Sister Mi can't explain to her mother-in-law.This is not good!

Twenty-five minutes have passed!Fengchun was still shining shoes.Both Fengchun and the man whose shoes were shined were fascinated.The two of them secretly met each other's eyes at every turn, talked quietly, and smiled knowingly from time to time, completely as if they were in the land of no one. Sister Mi looked at it, feeling both resentment and emotion in her heart: How can this love between a man and a woman be the only one in the world, come as soon as it is said, without any preparation at all, and it is completely unreasonable? When it comes to Fengchun, Sister Mi also knows the basics: Aren't her parents both from the city?Doesn't the family of three live in the grease dormitory?A male technician and female accountant, an honest couple, are both retired now, and have a daughter who is honest and can read. She has been walking around since she was a child, always wearing a loose school uniform and a schoolbag the size of a suitcase.After a few years of graduating from university, I worked as a clerk in the New World International Trade Office Building. At this time, Fengchun, who is walking on Qianjin Five Road, is very fashionable.A tight-waisted small suit, high heels, make-up, and the curves of the figure came out.Fengchun would often bring his colleagues to eat charcoal barbecue at the gate of Lianbaoli, and Zhou Yuan would run out of Lianbaoli, scrambling to pay for the treats.Saying that Zhou Yuan is a super handsome guy is not at all watery, whoever sees it will be convinced.There are so many boys in Shuita Street, all of them are ordinary looking, and there are many crooked melons and dates. The only thing is that Zhou Yuan was born extraordinary, and his body is like Yushu Linfeng.Know how to play again, have the ability to slip out of the narrow and rough Lianbao on roller skates, take a graceful and sharp turn on Qianwu Street, return to the gate of Lianbaoli, stop abruptly in front of the barbecue stall, take out the money, Don't care about Fengchun repeatedly saying no.Fengchun's colleagues stared straight at him, all of whom were amazed and envious.It's fine for two people to come and go.It is up to the parents of the two families when the children are well. They are both from Hankou, and they all understand the rules of Hankou: invite a matchmaker, ask for a marriage, make an appointment, and choose a date.Zhou Yuan's parents vacated the house in Gengxinli for their son to build a new house, and Fengchun's parents prepared some bedding and small appliances.Now marriage is getting easier for the woman and more complicated for the man.When the day came, the old neighbors on both sides of Shuita Street and Shiyou received big red invitations, and they all packed red envelopes to eat wedding wine.Sister Mi Song Jiangtao and his wife are naturally VIPs.Eight years ago, it was the pinnacle of sister Mi and his wife's life. They ate the wedding wine from the neighbors and gave them red envelopes as thick as bricks.The bride and groom frequently came to pay respects to sister Song Jiangtao.Zhou Yuan respected Song Jiangtao's wine, tears filled his eyes with gratitude, and he drank all the cups himself first.Sister Mi saw the two newcomers like marionettes, like parrots learning their tongues, obediently saying "thank you, thank you" non-stop.At that time, Sister Mi saw Fengchun, she was just a stranger, and she had no other special impressions. Sister Mi knows Zhou Yuan better, and Zhou Yuan is closer to Sister Mi.He is the child born and raised in Gengxinli, and his grandmother lives in Lianbaoli.There is only one Qianjinwulu street between the two miles, Zhou Yuan completely mixed food and sleep between the two miles, and would often eat and sleep mixed in Song Jiangtao's house or other boys' homes, even his parents didn't need to ask.Zhou Yuan was born beautiful, and his lips were red and his teeth were white when he was a child. Everyone in the neighborhood liked him. Since he was a child, he was picked up by the east and the west, and everyone wanted him to be called Dad.He has also become a person who likes to listen to good things from everyone. He has a small temper and can be stubborn for a long time at most. When a friend speaks out, he will go along with it. He thinks that his friend's face is bigger than the sky.Zhou Yuan is a mediocre student, only loves to play, and knows how to play things. Since high school, he has been working in Silu Electronics Street. It is said that after the wedding, Fengchun gave birth to a son in a blink of an eye.Three generations of Zhou Yuan's family were single-handed, and the old man always yearned for a boy.As soon as the grandson got it, the old people were very happy, and invited the neighbors in the neighborhood with the grandson's full moon wedding wine.This time it is impossible for Sister Mi and his wife to attend the banquet.Song Jiangtao was diagnosed with lung cancer at the hospital, and he collapsed after the diagnosis.Sister Mi took her husband to major hospitals in Beijing and Shanghai for medical treatment, spending money like water, but Song Jiangtao passed away half a year later. Sister Mi had a big accident herself, and every day she was magnified in the mirror, watching the wrinkles on her face, feeling tears pouring down every moment but she couldn't cry anymore.All other people's stories in the world are suddenly far away, faded, blurred, and the voice of the market is also thin. At this moment, Fengchun suddenly broke into Sister Mi's shoe shine shop.Sister Mi came over in a daze, took a closer look, and realized that the world hadn't gone far, and everything on the street was still in her eyes.It turns out that as long as Ren Youyou is still breathing when the heart is dead, the heart will still come alive.The human heart is much stronger than one thinks.Sister Mi actually knew that Fengchun and Zhou Yuan were angry because Zhou Yuan was lazy, fun and didn't support his family.Isn’t this the scene in the eyes: At first, the young couple pushed the stroller together, competing to take pictures of their son, and the family of three went to Xuangong McDonald’s to eat, and rushed to hug their son and dance with the McDonald’s sister.Gradually, Zhou Yuan appeared less often, and Fengchun took his son more often.Afterwards, Fengchun was basically alone. What does it mean that time is the only criterion for testing truth?This is!Miss Mi's motto is never wrong.If it was in the past, Sister Mi would definitely not care about stories about ordinary people like Fengchun Zhouyuan.In the past, for the weddings and funerals of the neighbors in the neighborhood, it was enough to just throw big red envelopes to the couple.In the past, Sister Mi could count money so badly that she couldn't keep up with her busy schedule. Those who are willing to take time to socialize are all people who are useful in business, taxation, urban management, black and white.Miss Mi is different now.Miss Mi now sees couples with love in her heart, and feels that you two are the only ones who are full of men and women in the world to be husband and wife. This is not easy!Don't look at the boring daily life every day, in fact, getting together and breaking up is in the blink of an eye, and a breakup is forever.Therefore, Sister Mi only wishes that the young couple Zhou Yuan and Zhou Yuan will reconcile in spring.Fengchun wants to use Sister Mi's shoe shine shop as a platform to challenge Zhou Yuan, and Sister Mi agrees.As she grew older and experienced various changes in the world, Sister Mi gradually turned into a knife-mouthed bean curd heart. No matter how soft-hearted she is, it is impossible for Miss Mi to give up her bottom line.Sister Mi is absolutely right in doing things.Otherwise, she wouldn't be Miss Mi today. Thirty minutes!Fengchun was still sticking out her little butt, spinning diligently like a top, and her hands wearing cream medical rubber gloves rubbed so and then around the pair of delicate black leather shoes, blooming like flowers.Fengchun was besieged by evil spirits. That's right, Fengchun was bewitched today. It's just that Fengchun's bewitched, she can't do anything about it, and she can't guess it, it's fate, it started from far away, and it meanders to today. This is this morning.Fengchun is sleeping late.Zhou Yuan has been staying at a friend's house for a long time.The son was handed over to his parents.Every spring morning is to sleep late.But there is no morning in a big city.People and horses are crowded on the road in the morning, the smoke and dust of countless vehicles intertwined with the smoke and dust of countless early stalls, making the morning mist cloudy and heavy, filling the watertight high-rise buildings and shops, the sun is so weak and fuzzy.In the area around Shuita Street, Zhongshan Avenue, the busiest area in Hankou, every morning, even the public toilet on the side of Qianjin Fifth Road is more important than the sun, and how many people rush over to stare at it every few miles nearby. Queue, crowded, to solve the urgent problem of excretion in the morning.This public toilet has a long history for decades, and for decades, the morning sun on Shuita Street is not as important as this toilet.After people have gone to the toilet, the soul will come back, and then go home to wash, and then go to the roadside early stall to eat hot dry noodles.Regan noodles with egg rice wine; .It's not that Wuhan people can't eat hot and dry noodles easily, and the food is also fat and thin.Wuhan people can travel a long way to eat a mouthful of authentic hot dry noodles with a bowl of rice wine.It is spring, so is Miss Mi, and many residents of Shuita Street.The fierceness and stubbornness in Wuhan people's personality, once provoked, they will be desperate.It’s just that if it’s too early in the morning, it’s possible to go there by car, by taxi, by bicycle, or by foot, in any way.When the hot dry noodles are in your mouth, it's almost lunch.In a big city like Wuhan, there are increasingly no mornings like this.Regardless of whether it is a large shopping mall or a small store or a food stall, whether the door opens at nine o'clock in the morning or ten o'clock in the morning, it is just a warm-up first, and the real customers come in a file, and that starts at noon.Lunch in the city is a light meal.A lunch box is enough for more than ten mouthfuls of rice, a few chopsticks of vegetables, and a mouthful of soup. Don’t be full.Beginning in the afternoon, countless pedestrians gathered from every road in every corner of the city to the main street, and after that, there was an endless stream of people.As the sun shifts to the west, the sunlight gradually becomes more transparent, and the sunset glow is arranged wantonly, gorgeously and delicately, and the setting sun also takes advantage of the situation to shoot the bright and bright light to the city, penetrating all the glass, and the big Commercial buildings and small shops all add to the festive atmosphere.Even when strangers face each other, there is light.The golden hour of the bustling street is here! Go to work at twelve noon in spring.Twelve noon is the starting point of excitement in the city.Anyone who is asked by Sister Mi to go to work at twelve o'clock is a capable person.Fengchun has only been working for three months, and he has become a professional backbone. Fengchun smiles bitterly when he thinks about it.Now that Fengchun is riding a tiger, he can only smile wryly.Up to now, Fengchun didn't know what to do.Fengchun only knew that she begged Miss Mi in a fit of anger, and that Sister Mi agreed to her without hesitation, and said all the ugly things before her, so Fengchun had no way out.Sister Mi is a former millionaire. She is well-known in Shuita Street for her generosity and generosity. Everyone has benefited from her. When Fengchun gets married, she also gets a congratulatory red envelope. Fengchun can't make fun of her.In addition to Sister Mi's later misfortune, Song Jiangtao died of cancer and lost his life and money. In the end, he had to go back to his own door to open a small shoe shine shop, and Fengchun had to be righteous.Anyway, first grit your teeth and do it well with Miss Mi, and then do it in one go.Now that Fengchun has knocked out a tooth, he has to swallow it in his stomach.Zhou Yuan is shameless, she wants it! When I wake up from a lazy sleep in spring, my eyelids twitch.When washing her face, she deliberately applied a hot towel to it for a while, but she still jumped.Stuttering hot and dry noodles in the alley, and dancing non-stop.Fengchun's eyelids twitched to his annoyance.When I walked into Miss Mi's shoe shine shop, I stopped dancing.She originally wanted to ask Sister Mi if the left eye made money and the right eye made money, or the left eye made money and the right eye got rich, but when she got to the exit, she changed her mind again: You can't ask!Fengchun thought, if you ask clearly, it will make you worry. In fact, with these few changes of thought, the heart disease has already been added.Everything is weird today, what's going to happen?When Fengchun crossed the road from Gengxinli to Lianbaoli, he stopped deliberately and looked at Sister Mi's shoe shine shop from a distance, and then looked at the upper floor of the shoe shine shop.There is a window upstairs, and sister Mi's eighty-six-year-old mother-in-law often sits by the window and looks at the street.Grandma happened to be here again today.The old man has a fair face, and his gray hair is combed to the back. He has recognized Fengchun and has a kind appearance.Seeing the old man's benevolent appearance, Fengchun felt reassured, and felt that nothing would happen if her eyelids twitched, so she strode towards Sister Mi's shoe shine shop. Miss Mi’s shoe shine shop is located in the most prosperous Shuita Street area of ​​Zhongshan Avenue. It is the first store in Lianbaoli. Crowded.Along the way of Jianghan, there are Xuangong Hotel and Central Department Store, all of which are old buildings that came before liberation, and the old buildings always have an aristocratic style.The intersection of Qianjin Wulu is Dahankou. In the yard of Dahankou, the water tower was designed and built by the British in the 12th year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty. It is dressed in purple and stands steadily. nice.There are shops on both sides of Qianwu Street, which mostly sell underwear and socks. There are two characteristics that are fatally attractive: one is a wide variety of designs and colors, and the other is that the price is cheap and you can bargain at any time.On the other side of Zhongshan Avenue, there are commercial buildings that have risen in recent years one after another, with huge advertisements on the glass curtain walls, grotesque and fashionable.Miss Mi's shoe shine shop is here.This is a good place to do business, but it is good but small. The shop is so small that it is just a step inside the gate, and a piece of space outside the hall.Entering the sky, forming a small courtyard.In the courtyard, a loft on stilts was built in the air. Sister Mi's mother-in-law lives upstairs, and Sister Mi's shoe shine shop is open downstairs.In such a large space, Miss Mi insisted on turning the disadvantages into advantages: the old brick and tile walls were deliberately not tiled or painted; the drum skin part of the board wall was deliberately not painted; The decoration is partly based on European and American sentiments.Except for five or six shoe shiners sitting on the ground to polish shoes, the walls and all corners of the store have been equipped with hanging rods, hooks, rings, shelves, glass, and mirrors as much as possible. Mats, slippers, socks, clay dolls, hand-knitted sweaters, hand-sewed coats, candlesticks, dishes, clay pots and large dogtail grass inserted in them, pickle jars and several cotton stalks with buds, wine bottles and a sprig of cotton The dandelions are all put up as decorations, and they are all commodities that can be sold. They all ask the price casually and pay back the money on the spot.Miss Mi intentionally differs from Hanhuang Weiye, a chain of shoe shine shops across the country. She takes a slant of cultural taste, and the small shop is more suitable for three-dimensional and densely filled with various cultural factors. The things she picks up at random are all cultural.The wine bottle was given by a friend in the restaurant, and the dandelions were cut by Jiang Tan. When mixed and matched, this vase is very unique.Sister Mi’s shoe shine shop quickly spread from word to mouth, and its reputation spread like wildfire especially in colleges and universities. College students came in without shining shoes, and Sister Mi welcomed them with dimples and smiles. They were allowed to take pictures or play selfies at will.Sister Mi is a native of Hankou, and she is not afraid of the overwhelming prosperity of Hankou, no matter how small the store is, she is as big as a fairy.The reason why Fengchun made up his mind to come to Sister Mi's shoe shine shop to work in Sister Mi's shoe shine shop was because they were all from Hankou, old neighbors on Shuita Street, and they could talk about anything when they were together, even if they didn't say anything, they still had an account .Besides, Sister Mi is so powerful, Zhou Yuan has always been afraid of her since he was a child. How did Fengchun think that when she arrived at Sister Mi's shoe shine shop, Zhou Yuan would not pay any attention to her at all. He even changed his way in and out.When he went out, he turned to Sanxin Heng Road, crossed the Yongkang Lane alley, lifted the curtain and entered the back door of "Beautiful Color", swaggered through the hall, and went out directly from the shop door.When Zhou Yuan went out, it was the busiest street of Zhongshan Avenue. The trams and buses on the street were running continuously like trains. Get off the car and run over to visit "Beautiful Colors".As a result, the boss of "Beautiful Color" found a business opportunity and came to Sister Mi, asking Sister Mi to invite Zhou Yuan for him. Stand for a few minutes and pay him.Anyway, Zhou Yuan wears beautiful colors almost every day, and it is good for everyone to do a little advertising and earn a little extra money along the way.Sister Mi was so angry that she cursed: This fucking brat really turned into a dangling! Fengchun's eyelids twitched wildly today, she thought Zhou Yuan would finally appear. Human feelings cannot come casually, and once they come, they cannot be let go.Fengchun felt weird today.If Zhou Yuan really wanted to take her away, would she really just go with him? cannot!Fengchun thought to himself: I can't just go with Zhou Yuan like this! More than three months have passed, and the most difficult time has passed, Fengchun realizes that he doesn't want to leave Sister Mi's shoe shine shop anymore.Zhou Yuan was very angry for not coming to Fengchun, really angry!Zhou Yuanlai is scary, really scary.Fengchun encountered a fierce inner conflict, which was unprecedented in his life before, so strange!Fengchun was panicked, she really didn't know what to do. It is not wrong to say that everything is difficult at the beginning.Nothing is difficult if you are not used to it.Just get used to it.The first day of spring, the first week, is the hardest.If you see an acquaintance, hide your eyes.The first month passed, and slowly, imperceptibly, the situation changed.The more neatly Fengchun does the work at hand, the more Sister Mi expresses her satisfaction and appreciation for her, and Fengchun's heart gradually sprouts joy.Sister Mi wanted Fengchun to be an important hour, and Fengchun felt great joy in her heart.Fengchun asked her parents to pick up her son at the gate of the primary school for her in the afternoon, and she began to work from 12:00 noon to 8:00 pm.A hundred of Fengchun's parents resented Zhou Yuan and Zhou Yuan's parents, and there was nothing they could do, and they were afraid that talking too much in front of Fengchun would deepen the conflict between the young couple.Fengchun's parents are a pair of honest people.Fengchun also can't talk much to her parents, because she didn't talk much since she was a child. Talking means how about homework, how much is the test score, and unity with classmates in the class. Don't go out with boys alone. Study hard and don't Puppy love, go out at night and go home early and be careful of bad guys on the way home.When Fengchun was with her classmates, there were fights and a few witty remarks, and when she was with her parents, she was an honest girl.Even when Fengchun got married, her mother only treated her as a daughter who had gone a few more streets to sleep. Working from twelve o'clock to eight o'clock in the evening, sister Mi has to provide two meals, and the dinner should be a little more than a regular meal.The meals are freshly cooked by Sister Mi’s mother-in-law. With only one kitchen helper, the old man can prepare hot dishes every meal and pack them in boxes for each person. The workers all say that they are delicious.Miss Mi has her own insulated lunch box.When Fengchun came for almost a month, sister Mi also gave Fengchun a special insulated lunch box.Their lunch boxes are exactly the same, they have two layers, but the colors are different, one is light blue and the other is light pink.Ever since Fengchun got a light pink lunch box, her dishes are the same as sister Mi's, with two meat and one vegetable, and sometimes adding one or two more private dishes, such as a spoonful of scrambled eggs with toon tips, or a piece of braised stinky mandarin fish. They are all eaten by Sister Mi and her mother-in-law. They are not tasted by the public, and they are all cooked in a big pot. The old man treats Fengchun as his own child. Miss Mi was afraid that Fengchun would not like it, so Fengchun hurriedly said, "It's delicious, grandma cooks delicious!" Sister Mi is Sister Mi, who is of the same generation; Sister Mi’s son has just turned 18 years old, and there are already faint stubbles around his lips. He doesn't have any titles, but going in and out means being of the same generation. When he was having fun, he even begged Fengchun to help him with his homework. It is said that he offered the same price as his classmates: one yuan per time. Gradually that is the case.In Sister Mi's shoe shine shop, Fengchun, Sister Mi's mother and son, and the old man in the attic just screamed at each other, they didn't see each other, they didn't know each other, Fengchun gradually became more at ease.Sister Mi’s work lunch box is really delicious.Miss Mi never orders takeaway.The shops on the former Wuyi Road are all called takeaway boxes, which are simple and convenient. After eating, throw away the disposable plastic box without washing the dishes. The price is surprisingly cheap, and the taste is spicy and delicious.Miss Mi is absolutely not tempted.She firmly believes that only the wrong ones are bought and not sold wrong. The cheaper the waste oil, the more her son and mother-in-law, and no matter how many workers in Sister Mi’s shoe shine shop, Sister Mi treats them as a big family. In fact, I pay for food by myself every day.Miss Mi already knows that health is the most important thing in the world.Grandma is an old birthday star, and if she can eat dishes made by her own hands, every mouthful will be a blessing!Sister Mi's provocative ability is very good, and the truth is also sensational when it comes out of her mouth. People will be moved after hearing it.Sister Mi didn't pay the shoeshine girls much, but with her family's work meals, and Sister Mi's constant explanations, speeches, and praises of her family's work meals, the shoe shiners were all devoted to doing things for Sister Mi.Fengchun has always been just being herself, and she is only tolerant and tolerant to other shoe shiners. She wants to treat Fengchun as an equal with them, but Fengchun cannot.Masks, hats and overalls are required to work in spring, and other shoe shiners have never had this concept.They are all willing to wear their own clothes, willing to show their dyed yellow hair and Wen's eyebrows.After all, there is a gap between several lifetimes of city dwellers and several lifetimes of rural dwellers.But everyone agrees with Miss Mi, and the working atmosphere is harmonious, and even working in spring can feel free. What's more, Sister Mi's and mother-in-law's private dishes are all favorite bites of the old Wuhan people. Those who know how to eat it really feel that they are indescribably delicious.逢春以前从来没有吃过这么一些尖端精细的菜肴，她父母人老实到只会做大路菜也只吃大路菜。逢春在蜜姐擦鞋店吃了几次老人的私房菜，一吃就上了瘾，隔一阵子没有就会发馋。逢春会对武汉的菜肴有新的认识和吃惊，她还悄悄喜欢上了自己拥有的这份新认识，觉得好有意思。 this is life.生活就是有力量。不管什么生活，它就是力量强大到无法想象。不知不觉的，逢春可以大大方方地进店上班了，街坊邻居再过来看她，她眼睛也不躲闪了。倒是周源的母亲避开街坊，从联保里巷子后面低头拐进来，拉逢春到暗处说话。她问逢春要闹到什么时候？ 只一开口，周源母亲就把逢春呛出泪来。逢春见惯了周源母亲讨好的笑脸，又见惯她娇宠孙子的一团火热，霎时的变脸让逢春陌生得惊慌失措。周源母亲是没有青红皂白的，她只怜惜自己的儿子，厌恶媳妇作怪。逢春竭力把泪水含在眼里不让它出来，哽噎地吐出两个字：“谁闹？”说完逢春就扭头跑回蜜姐擦鞋店。 世界就是这样，变化了，变化着，逢春不知道人的世界竟是这样的。她有点傻了。变化在继续，今天的午后，一个名叫骆良骥的男子，走进了蜜姐擦鞋店，走进了逢春惶惑不安的生活。生活就是这样的临时，没有一定之规，没有形状，不由人设计与理想。为理想的生活奋斗是一句悲壮的空话，就好比晨光与夕阳在别处是朝气与暮色，在大城市却被颠倒，没有理论的。逢春注定了今天会中邪。她这一生的这一刻，在她身上已经发生的所有事情，这些事情带给她的所有情绪，还有蜜姐擦鞋店坐东朝西的朝向，种种因素都在生发着，都为逢春中邪做好了准备，人生也就是这样没有理论。 蜜姐擦鞋店撇开了早晨，中午开始天就大亮，午后迎着西边射来的阳光，最是好时刻。小店铺被照得通透明亮，所有饰品都镀了金，两扇老旧的木板大门，黑漆都斑驳成了小碎点子，也如细碎花朵一样熠熠生辉。骆良骥在这样一个光灿灿的背景下，一步跨进了蜜姐擦鞋店。 外地男子骆良骥，此刻在武汉，是来谈生意。骆良骥是在父辈生意基础上成长起来的第二代商人。经商对于他来说是顺理成章的事情。他的父辈总是担心投机倒把罪名又卷土重来，所以要时刻注意夹着尾巴做人的那一种紧张，骆良骥身上不再有，也不似他父辈总恨紧窄的西装和吊颈绳一般的领带，生意一谈完就要脱去，骆良骥已经是很自然的商人了，西装革履穿在他身上就像他自己的皮肤一样自如，又有一种表浅的轻率，穿得随意，不知爱惜，肘子弯里的皱褶已经过深，袖扣总有几滴油点子，他无所谓。骆良骥喜欢西服，他身上的原产意大利西装，他很喜欢，原产意大利皮鞋，他也很喜欢，好马配好鞍，这是必须的。从小就有太多电影、电视与广告引导他豪华奢侈，骆良骥也就觉得自己穿西装有款有型，一切感觉都好，皱褶与油点子，他无所谓，是视而不见的东西。这种无所谓的样子，某时刻也会显得是一种潇洒。逢春第一眼，看见的就是骆良骥的潇洒。男人的潇洒，尤其对于未经世事的年轻女人，永远是致命的魅力。 今天中午谈生意的饭局，骆良骥非常成功地让对方喝高了。只要生意能够谈成，只要对方能够被他忽悠而不是他被对方忽悠，就算他再酷爱这双皮鞋，也不介意对方朝它们呕吐。皮鞋么，脏了擦擦就好。太脏了，多花几个钱，擦擦依然就好。骆良骥就是这样自由而放松的，不会在乎一双皮鞋，他自己也深以为这就是潇洒，这就是富有。潇洒而富有的骆良骥，来到了蜜姐擦鞋店。是他在武汉本地雇请的司机带来的。司机以前开出租车，知道蜜姐擦鞋店的名气。 骆良骥从明亮大街进来，摇摆自如，面孔充满自信，背后是夕阳金灿灿的耀眼光芒。逢春刚好做完一笔生意，站在店铺暗的角落喝水。只看骆良骥一眼，就像看到电影大片里从屏幕上走出来的一个人。 蜜姐就坐在大门边，客人都是她先看在眼里她心里有盘算的。先是司机进来，在门口就给蜜姐歪了一个嘴，大拇指朝身后做了一个手势，蜜姐立刻会意。紧接着，司机让开，请骆良骥进来。蜜姐马上就拿眼睛找到了逢春。逢春也就不动声色过来接待，请骆良骥坐下。蜜姐常给逢春发手机段子，其中有一段是“裹西装勒领带，一天到晚不叫苦，哥们肯定在政府；勒领带裹西装，一天三餐都不脱，肯定是个商哥哥”。骆良骥华贵的西装革履，让逢春立刻联想起这个段子来，就想笑，但没笑。果然就听见蜜姐朗声说：“这位先生，你这么好一双皮鞋，我们一定会好生养护。” 蜜姐本来是给逢春暗示，要求这双皮鞋的收费可以高一些。哪知棋逢敌手将遇良才，都是做生意多年的人，骆良骥明白蜜姐这点小诡计。他朝司机看看，司机当即就过去，递给蜜姐一张十元钞票。蜜姐哈哈一笑，说谢谢先生，便把钞票往银包一塞，很满足了，又忙着去招呼新顾客。 逢春却怔住了：骆良骥的皮鞋太脏了！一双鞋呈喷射状地沾满了酒席呕吐物，实在是污秽不堪！逢春首先庆幸自己母亲曾在市油脂工作，从前市油脂的深蓝色大褂，派上了大用场。逢春也庆幸自己坚持戴口罩和手套，她知道蜜姐最初有点嫌她小题大做，逢春解释说她这样注意卫生是为了儿子，儿子年幼，体质又弱，风吹草动都感冒发烧。蜜姐自己是有儿子的人，听罢手一挥，慷慨地允了。逢春自己知道自己有私心，蜜姐以为她老实，就老实得连年轻女子爱护容貌皮肤的私心都没有么？some.擦鞋女成天伏在灰尘堆里，逢春舍得生命也舍不得自己的面部手指蒙满灰尘脏污粗糙。到底蜜姐中年了，这个年纪的女人也就知道涂脂抹粉。逢春自然不会去与她啰嗦这个。 逢春一怔，随即回头看蜜姐，想给蜜姐一个提醒。但蜜姐正生意兴隆，迎来送往别无他顾。逢春没有犹豫的余地了，只能赶紧投入工作。她想：蜜姐聪明也毛快，都不看清楚这双皮鞋肮脏到什么程度，给了十块钱就笑，要说二十块钱还差不多。 逢春正想到这里，骆良骥俯身下来，低声对逢春道了一个歉，说：“不好意思啊确实太脏了！” 逢春大惊。怎么骆良骥恰好与她的心思对上了话？逢春抬眼一看，正正遇到骆良骥的眼睛。逢春赶紧垂下眼帘。这一低垂，逢春又觉得不妥。没有必要慌张吧？她对自己有了一种说不清的懊恼。 骆良骥接着解释：“朋友喝多了吐我一脚。” 逢春只是点点头，也不敢再抬头，手里勤奋做事，心里却还是不由得想：未必我会管顾客的鞋是谁吐的？告诉我做什么？ 骆良骥就好像她的心思是透明的，紧接着就说：“我告诉你，是因为，我不想让你误认为，我胡吃海喝，搞醉了自己吐的。” 逢春不由得暗暗又吃一惊。 骆良骥这句话说得磕磕巴巴，一边说一边已经发觉自己说的是不必说的话。越是对自己有了发觉，脸也就越热了起来。逢春自然也有发觉，她也不由自主，又抬头看了骆良骥一眼。这次两个人的目光都无可回避地接通了。这一个接通简直让二人都悚然，骆良骥看到的是逢春眼波一横，潋滟得无比艳丽；逢春看到的是骆良骥单单只朝她一个人的全神贯注与如火炽热。 寂静忽然排山倒海降临。寂静到整个蜜姐擦鞋店都不复存在，外面热闹的大街也不见了，就只他们两人被封闭在一个真空里，却又看得见逢春在继续擦鞋。两人都有点害怕，都在挣扎。片刻，挣扎刺破梦魇。两人前后出来了：现在又市声汹涌。店铺里人来客往，手机声此起彼伏，擦鞋女们双手翻飞。呼吸里是浓烈的皮鞋油的气味。蜜姐在柜台边，一手香烟，一手茶杯，笑声朗朗招呼顾客，老练又阴险地暗中盯上了他们。俗世又回来了。 逢春依然埋头劳动，骆良骥整个人却在她面前变得十分清晰：穿戴是什么，表情是什么，口音是外地好像江浙那一带，肤色是偏一点酱色好像渔民被海风吹成的那种，头发干净爽利，浓密到额头仿佛要压住眉毛，眉毛是宽的，眼睛却秀气。穿戴举止都是潇洒富有的模样，像影视剧里的人。 骆良骥倒是开初就有一个逢春的特别印象。因逢春全副武装把自己包裹严实，搞得像高科技流水线的操作工，是任何地方都没有见到过的擦鞋女，骆良骥以为滑稽。擦皮鞋开始以后，他俩换了一个位置，相对着，金灿灿的晚霞就从背后衬托出逢春来了。骆良骥看见了逢春口罩上面额头的饱满与光滑，又看见了逢春额角发根下轻轻浅浅的一丛茸毛，像金色水草，在晚霞里微微颤动。滑稽感很快消失了，新鲜动人的感觉完全笼罩了骆良骥。他怎么就从来没有见过这么让人心动的额头呢？骆良骥也三十多岁了，也娶妻生子了，全国各地大城市几乎也跑遍了。饭店酒楼餐馆洗脚屋几乎是他做生意的一部分，经常进出着，各种漂亮养眼的女孩子，他见得太多了，也与她们一起K歌喊麦。怎么唯有这一刻，在这个擦鞋店，骆良骥的眼睛自动变成了放大镜，连逢春的头发丝丝缕缕都是电影里的特写镜头，每一根都纤毫毕露，结实圆润，闪闪发亮。骆良骥还由此判断出逢春比自己年纪轻。怎么此前三十几年，都对任何漂亮女孩子，皆不曾看得这么细致呢？都不会去判断她几岁呢？也都不会有连自己都控制不住的许多话，要对她们说出来呢？骆良骥搞不懂自己了。骆良骥想管住自己，他提醒自己：这是一个擦鞋店哪！这是一个擦鞋女哪！只把皮鞋赶快擦干净了走人哪！你发什么毛病了啊！就是这么想着的同时，骆良骥还是忍不住要对逢春说话。他眼睛也还是离不开逢春。他还越来越看逢春神秘：装扮成这个样子，不是擦鞋女吧？莫非是一个女演员，在体验生活？或者在拍电影？该不是哪里装了摄像头吧？骆良骥想入非非，扭头四处观察蜜姐擦鞋店，看看其他擦鞋女那笨蠢模样，再看逢春，就一个额头一个眼波一绺发梢，都是艳的，愈发觉得逢春不同凡响。骆良骥管不住自己了。他也恼自己，不知道为什么。但随着时间分分秒秒过去，他愈发管不住自己。 两个完全陌生的男女，此时此刻，竟然一模一样发生了别样的心思。这种心思简直是老房子失火。一时间完全不受人控制，情况又都迷蒙不清，都不知道这是为什么，就是心里头温暖舒服，好像有头小鹿活泼乱撞，随时都叫你心惊。 两个习惯不说话的人，都管不住自己，便有一搭没一搭地说起话来。又不约而同都把声音压低低的假装不是在说话，默契得要把世界上别人都从他们之间排除出去。 骆良骥说：“看你做得这样细致和辛苦，十块钱哪里够？我司机不懂事，手面小气，得罪你了啊。应该付多少，你说了算。” 逢春笑道：“一百！” 骆良骥说：“没问题！” 逢春笑道：“那我得替你擦出一朵花来。” 骆良骥说：“你已经擦出来了。” 逢春故意问：“在哪里？” 骆良骥说：“在我眼里。” 停一停。逢春往上看骆良骥一眼，讥讽道：“你就这样习惯性泡妞啊！” 骆良骥说：“我泡了吗？我又没有叫你美女，我连你人都只看见额头也没办法恭维你漂亮，也没问你名字，又没找你要手机号码。” 逢春说：“有没有泡你自己心里知道。” 骆良骥说：“我不知道。只你知道。” 一双意大利出产的巴利牌皮鞋，在逢春手下眉清目秀地出来了，皮光，型正，缝制严谨，端庄典雅，好鞋就是惹人爱。逢春歪着头打量，颇有成就感，哎呀好鞋就是惹人爱！早些年逢春在新世界国贸大楼上班，午休就要和同事去隔壁逛百货商场。好鞋的知识积累了一箩筐。逢春周源都是渴望穿好鞋。特别是周源，不管有钱没钱，也不管家里买米买油，在新世界百货买一双英国其乐休闲皮鞋，那是肯定的，这是出去和朋友玩的脸面，必须拥有一双！周源在结婚时就拥有了一双，一直穿到现在。逢春舍不得钱，又想换装的配鞋多一点，她就买一双莱尔斯丹买一双百丽，不出场面的鞋还是去汉正街买水货。没有那么多钱，隔三岔五逛商场还是要跑到进口大品牌专柜去挂挂眼科，看看人家的款式与设计，感受感受，也是养眼的。因此逢春知道，像意大利巴利这样好的头层牛皮，一般鞋油是不能用的，前进一路进货的最低廉鞋油那根本就碰都不该碰。可是这几块被烈酒烧灼浸染的暗斑，还是必须真正养护一下的。但是蜜姐已经注意到他们了，逢春和骆良骥心里都知道。 逢春说：“我真的认为这么好的皮鞋得养护一下。” 骆良骥说：“你想怎么样就怎么样。” 逢春说：“只是我得找她去领最好的鞋油。” 骆良骥说：“你想要就去领。不要怕，有我。我会付她钱。” 骆良骥的话，温暖宜人，轻柔体贴，每一个字，逢春都无法抵挡。多少日子以来她心底里那三尺冰冻的寒冷，一点点被融化，一点点的，逢春心里已经有水汪汪荡漾的柔情蜜意。 逢春终于站起来，因蹲久了，逢春猛一站立，一阵眩晕，骆良骥及时扶住了逢春，他伸出一只手，在逢春身后的腰间扶了一把，逢春装作那手并不存在，却瞒不住自己要惊心动魄。 逢春走到蜜姐跟前，找蜜姐要那盒巴西棕榈油，那是蜜姐擦鞋店唯一一盒正宗进口养护鞋油，专供少数重要顾客——那都是水塔街地面上的街办领导片警协警工商税务城管。他们是擦鞋店顶天的大人物，其他人休想。 蜜姐假装不懂，说：“什么？” 逢春说：“那么好的皮鞋很需要保养一下。” 蜜姐说：“对不起，你说需要就需要吗？！”蜜姐借题发挥，她愠怒地朝逢春喷了一口烟雾，说：“你今天状态很迷糊，已经为一双鞋花费太长时间了！十块钱我已经没什么赚头了！尽快让他走！” 逢春叫道：“蜜姐！” 蜜姐的香烟停顿在嘴唇间，双手抱肩，问：“怎么哪？” 逢春说：“你怎么能这样？怎么能赶顾客？你怎么知道做完人家不加钱？” 蜜姐说：“你有能耐你先让他加钱！他拍出二十块钱我立马拍出那盒巴西棕榈油。” 蜜姐说着说着眼睛就睁圆了越过逢春看前面。骆良骥的司机从逢春身后过来，手里居然拿着一张百元钞票，说：“我们老板说不需要找钱。”蜜姐顿时笑嘻嘻没有话说了。 逢春闪电般回瞥一下骆良骥，泪就已经涌了上来，她低下眼睛使劲往下吞咽。逢春拿过鞋油，返回骆良骥跟前，蹲下，不吭不哈，全神贯注地，涂油，抛光。一双手像春天的燕子，欢快灵巧地上下翻飞。逢春的倔劲上来了。她一不做二不休，用手指指骆良骥袜子上面的污迹，骆良骥问：“脱掉？”逢春肯定地一点头，把站在门口的司机招来，连她都不敢相信自己会吩咐司机：“快去买双新袜子回来。”又追一句：“出门一拐都是卖袜子的。” 骆良骥紧跟着对司机说：“听见了？赶紧照办。” 司机跑出跑进很快就买来了一双新袜子。骆良骥忽然有点羞涩，他背过身子，脱掉自己的脏袜子，掏出口袋里的餐巾纸包好了，要司机到外面找一垃圾桶扔掉。骆良骥穿好新袜子，逢春给他穿上皮鞋并扣好鞋带，放好裤管，一双脚整整齐齐，干干净净，漂漂亮亮。这情形忽然又把蜜姐擦鞋店远远推开与隔绝，一个空间里只有两个人，两个人前一刻都是陌生人，后一刻却同时都有感觉他们正如人家日常的夫妇一般，女人正给要出门的男人收拾。也不说什么，就是有一种你知我知，从心里头贯通到指尖，到处都是暖融融。奇怪的是这两个人，并非无家无口的单身男女，是连孩子都读书了，才忽然邂逅在一个擦鞋店里，被唤醒早该有却没有的感觉。这感觉，逢春好想说给骆良骥听，骆良骥也好想说给逢春听。待要说，蜜姐擦鞋店又回来了。二人都明白他们没有互相倾诉的可能性，只能憋着。二人都知道皮鞋擦好了，骆良骥该离开了，才相见又分离，仓促得心里生生难受。两人都躲闪，都不看对方，都把动作放得无限慢，但也挽回不了事物本身的规律：一个顾客的皮鞋擦好了。他该离店了。 蜜姐猎手一般，有耐心而又眼睛犀利，就在不远处看着他俩。 逢春把骆良骥的一双脚摆好，端详了端详，终于开了口，仿佛是自言自语，道：“这样子才好了。” 逢春一开口，发现自己还有勇气说话，没有流泪也没有失态，她如释重负，一鼓作气说：“拜拜。欢迎下次光临。”这是蜜姐擦鞋店的例行送客词，擦鞋女人人都要说的。 骆良骥顿时手足无措，摆摆双脚，踩踩地面，拿手撸撸头发，有一瞬间似乎要崩溃。到底他也不是毛头小子，还是竭力稳住了自己。拿出皮夹子，从里头取出一张百元钞票，递给逢春。 逢春说：“给老板。” 骆良骥说：“老板的给过了。这是给你的。” 逢春忽然不知道从哪里又冒出了一阵恼。噢，他真以为她是擦鞋女啊？他可真喜欢炫耀自己有钱啊！他到底姓甚名谁从哪里来到哪里去是个什么样的人怎么今天就是与她冤家路窄啊！噢，原来今天眼皮直跳就是应在这里啊，真是活见鬼啊！ 逢春不接骆良骥的钞票。就那样站着，去脱自己的手套。医用橡胶手套时间戴长了，手又发热出汗，紧紧吸附在皮肤上不易脱，逢春就用力乱扯，扯着扯着就一句一句用力说话，她说：“知道你有钱！你就像个有钱人！不用这么显摆！本人不收小费！” 骆良骥连忙说：“哪里是小费？哪里是小费？是我们刚才说好的擦出一朵花来就是一百嘛。” us? !逢春心口一记钝痛，泪就要往外涌，她拼命地忍。 蜜姐适时过来了。她大大方方一把接过钞票，大大方方对骆良骥说：“真是非常感谢这位先生！把您这双皮鞋打理养护出来，说实话是真的不容易，我这员工的确付出了太多辛苦。本店当然收小费。做服务生意哪里有不收小费的道理？不收小费对顾客都是不尊重的。给小费是绅士风度嘛，她不懂这个，生怕顾客太破费了，又不会说话，还请先生多包涵。她得脱手套洗手，也不方便，这钱我就先替她收下了。” 骆良骥五心烦乱地对蜜姐频频点头。 逢春在一旁已经把手套扯破了，脱下来了，卷起来丢进了垃圾篓，一双年轻的手被闷得潮湿苍白，青筋毕现，在她手背上画了水墨一般，却也有一种惹人怜惜的好看。骆良骥一瞟一瞟的。逢春只是自己在胡乱搓手。 蜜姐见状就不罢休了。她得把火苗熄灭在萌芽状态。逢春绝对不能在她这里出事！蜜姐话里有话地说：“这位先生你放心，回头就算她真不好意思收这钱，我也有办法，绝对不会让你的人情落空。她儿子最喜欢吃麦当劳，我带小孩子去吃几顿就好了。我当兵出身，当兵人就是豪爽，有什么说什么，我要说小兄弟你够爽的，我祝你好人有好报，生意成功，再祝你回家旅途顺利。再次感谢！拜拜了！” 蜜姐说到“她的儿子”，还顺手在逢春身上比划了一下她儿子的高矮，这是强调逢春为人妻母的身份，一石二鸟。如果说逢春骆良骥一时忘乎所以的话，现实生活就是粉碎任何空想的铜墙铁壁。果然骆良骥沉不住气了。他哪里料到开一个擦鞋店小铺子的女人这般老练厉害，眼睛似火眼金睛，说话是绵里藏针，骆良骥远不是蜜姐对手，一时刻尴尬、狼狈、羞愧、歉意、难为情，种种颜色都从面上过了一回，搞得脸红脖子粗，只好别无选择地回应一个“拜拜”就去了。 逢春同时掉头就冲进里屋。里屋与店铺只挂一张蜡染印花帘子相隔，平时工人们不可以随便进去，只有开饭时间可以躲进来吃盒工作餐。里屋是做饭的地方，连厨房都谈不上，就是一块狭窄的地方堆满了锅盆碗盏，又黑又暗，蜜姐的婆婆下楼做饭才开灯的，一架楼梯从洗碗池上腾空架起来，也狭窄得仅容一个身体上下。逢春一掀帘子跑了进来，眼睛一黑，撞上楼梯，也就一屁股坐在了楼梯口，摘下口罩，捂住自己的嘴巴，委屈难受，泪如雨下。 晚霞渐渐收了去，大街渐渐亮开了。蜜姐擦鞋
