Chapter 14 Flower Season and Rainy Season - Chapter 14 See you tomorrow at the train station at 7:00

When there is no holiday, Wang Xiaotian finds Xiao Yao as a partner: "Let's do something together during the winter vacation." "Success!" He asked again, "Will your father give it to you?" " "The feet are on me, no problem." As soon as the holiday was off, Wang Xiaotian announced to his parents with great fanfare and vows that he would work-study, experience life, and be independent. He told them his plan in as much detail as possible. It’s called independence? It’s called independence when you eat out with the family’s money? You’re young. You don’t know how to speak. When people like you go out to sell things, they will definitely end up crying.

Just watch it if you don't believe me.How complicated society is, you don't even know..." "It's not selling things, it's work-study." Wang Xiaotian corrected. Dad looked at Wang Xiaotian very dissatisfied.The more he wanted to get close to his son, the more he couldn't get close to him.The son's mind is full of new ideas, and sometimes he is simply whimsical. One day he wants to work, and the next day he wants to go abroad; he wants to be a poet in the morning and a philosopher in the afternoon.My son bought a "hula hoop" and told him to play it too, saying that grandpas and grandmas like to play it now, just to exercise.But he knew that if he really played, his son would not be able to stand it.Dad felt that in order to get along well with his son and understand him, he had to have an almost absurd imagination.It's just as absurd to connect things that don't depend on each other, just like you have to believe that Jia Baoyu will fall in love with Princess Sissy and live with Marilyn Monroe.

"On vacation, you just stay at home for me!" "Dad, I told you that I respect you. If you agree, the whole family will be happy. If you don't agree, I'm sorry." In fact, Wang Xiaotian's father's disagreement was also expected. "If you are so disobedient, don't rely on me in the future!" Wang Xiaotian was stunned.Could it be that the relationship between him and his father is one of relying on and being relied on, using and being used? Dad graduated from high school.So I went to be a soldier, and I have achieved today's achievements with decades of struggle.Logically.Such a father should be very relaxed, but the fact is on the contrary. It seems that Wang Xiaotian will go astray if he leaves him. It seems that he doesn't know that the peacock can't fly because he appreciates and cherishes his wings too much! The general mentality of "we have suffered, my children can't suffer anymore", makes parents prefer to suffer and suffer.I don't want my children to suffer a little bit.This has resulted in the phenomenon of "a gentleman's luster will be cut off for five generations" and "the rich will not last for three generations".Dad is worried about the younger generation, thinking that this generation lacks a sense of responsibility and hard work.But my child wants to work and do something, but he is obstructed in every possible way, which is really contradictory.

Seeing that Wang Xiaotian stopped talking, Dad thought he had made sense of it, and was a little proud.Then the phone rang.Looking for Wang Xiaotian. It was Xiao Yao who called, asking about the result of the "solicitation". "It's business as usual." Early the next morning, the two were on their way. "Your father agreed?" Xiao Yao asked. "Hey, don't mention it, I figured out a truth, and I can't tell them anything. I have to cut it first and play it later, otherwise it will probably fail. Look how good you are, your parents are not around, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, so I can't control you , Grandpa and grandma are so reasonable."

"You call it 'this mountain looks at the height of that mountain'. If it were you, you would not be able to bear it again." "Absolutely not. If it were me, I would go abroad first! You, hey, why don't you come out?" "..." Xiao Yao never talked about this matter with anyone. "It's so easy to study abroad, five days a week, and learning is very simple. I heard that their high school textbooks are equivalent to our junior high school textbooks. Ours is so difficult. The four operations in elementary school are already complicated enough."

"Let's hurry up, otherwise people will be in trouble when they go out." "Yes, Sir. By the way, I have been riding with you for a long time and I don't know where I am going. Where are we going?" "City Tour Company." The city's tourism company will be relocated, and a batch of cloth bags with the original address and "Welcome to Shenzhen" badges will be disposed of.After Xiao Yao knew about it, he immediately went to look for the goods, and decided to do this business because he thought it was quite cheap and good quality. When they got to the tour company, there was moving.

"Auntie, do you still recognize me? I came to see the goods that day. We came to pick up the goods today. This is my classmate." Xiao Yao said. The woman smiled and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I will keep the goods for you. Many people have come to buy goods these days, but I didn't give them to you. Come with me." "Auntie, thank you." In a small darkroom facing north, the woman took out two large and one small cardboard boxes: "Here are 1,000 badges, 500 yuan at 50 cents, and here are 100 bags, 1 yuan each for a total of 100 yuan." The reason why their stall is located at the train station is simple.There are so many people here, and a large number of mainlanders pass in and out of Shenzhen through here.All mainlanders who come to Shenzhen hope to bring some souvenirs back home, and they are the targets of Xiao Yao's "offensive".

In addition to selling "Shenzhen welcomes you" badges and small cloth pockets, the stalls are also very popular.Also sells map books and the like.To say it's a small stall is actually not very appropriate.It just consists of a small cart plus a few long boards.The car belonged to Yu Fa. It was used by Yu Fa's family when they started a small business in the early years, and now they have retired early.Xiao Yao asked for some paint from the old man who painted the red and white iron fences on the road, and painted this cart in white and white. Although it is not good-looking, it is very eye-catching.There is a moon cake box for money in the car, which Wang Xiaotian brought from home.

And just like that, they opened. The feeling of selling things for the first time is not like what some people wrote: "I was excited, I was ashamed and helpless, and I was sweating profusely. I was embarrassed at the beginning, but I got used to it after a while. Let go. A group of people gathered around, busy negotiating prices, getting goods, collecting money, and changing money. They didn't have time to appreciate the mood; , Few people buy. Occasionally, they meet acquaintances and classmates, and they happily stay for a while to help greet customers. At noon, one was at the stall, and the other was going to buy lunch.Wang Xiaotian said: "When you earn this money, I will treat you to a meal."

"I remember it." There are people from all over the world who speak any kind of accent.Shenzhen brings together yuan from all over the country... "Didn't the bag say 8 cents that day? Why did it go up in just a few days?" "That day was that day, and today is today. There have been a lot of people asking for goods in these two days. You don't want it, others want it. Yesterday, someone offered it for 1 yuan. The zipper on the bag alone is worth 80 cents. 1 yuan, even the cost has not been recovered, if it is not because you are students..." "But that day you said 8 cents!

"How can you accept death, don't forget it." The woman wanted to take it away. Xiao Yao and Wang Xiaotian looked at each other: "One yuan is one yuan. The crow's feet in the corners of the woman's eyes immediately gathered together: "That's right. Let me tell you, you won't lose money. A paper bag costs 2.5 yuan. It's made of cloth. If you don't sell it, it's 4 yuan or 5 yuan." "A total of 600 yuan. Xiao Yao paid the money and said kindly, "Auntie, your badges are not easy to sell, and next time you use reflective materials as the base, they will definitely sell well."The reflective material also has a manufacturer in Shenzhen, which is a patent.If you don't take advantage of this advantage, why not let the mainlanders take it? " The woman suddenly asked, "Which middle school do you go to?" "Ninth High School." "Ninth Middle School? Is your school also doing business?" Before Xiao Yao and Wang Xiaotian could go far, the harsh words hit their spines: "All the students nowadays are like businessmen. I don't know if they are studying or doing business." ?” Wang Xiaotian and Xiao Yao, who were holding the cardboard box in both hands, looked at each other, dumbfounded. "See you tomorrow at the train station at seven!" Xiao Yao always trained himself to judge the places of origin and occupations of these tourists from their accents, clothes, and behaviors. A middle-aged couple came, and at first glance, they were from a small city in the north who were not wealthy. They looked at it over and over again, discussing: "I bought this and put it on for the elder sister and the second younger sister. They will be happy. "Little master, how do you sell this thing?" The accent is from the Northeast. "The badge is 7 hairs, and the bag is 1 yuan and 3 yuan." "Oh, why is it so expensive? You can buy a lot of things in Yita for 2 yuan. Shenzhen banks (people) spend a lot of money." "If you want to buy it, it's 1 yuan and 8." "1 yuan 8 is also expensive." After speaking, I muttered to my husband for a while, "Why don't you just buy one and take it home!" But the husband said: "Forget it, don't buy it, let's go!" After he pulled the corner of his wife's clothes, he walked a few steps, and the wife came back again. "Let's buy one, it's very commemorative. When I go back, I know Shenzhen welcomes us." I finally decided to buy it. The middle-aged woman lifted up the dress that was closest to her body. There was a pocket on it fastened with a pin.She carefully took out a brand new ten-yuan coin: "Little master, I want two badges and a pocket." That action made Xiao Yao feel so uncomfortable that he couldn't bear to accept the money. He picked up two boxes of badges and put them in the bag: "Auntie, take them back and let your children play with them. We will give them to you." The woman was a little surprised: "Little master, what's wrong with you?" "This is our gift." The couple thanked each other in every way and took the things and left. "Wang Xiaotian. This is recorded in my account." "Don't take all the good things by yourself. This is also what I gave them, and we will each keep half of the account." By seven o'clock in the evening, a total of 120 badges, 30 bags and 60 maps were sold.People have an eight-hour work system, and they work for twelve hours.But there is a sense of satisfaction when they take inventory and pay their bills, and this satisfaction greatly relieves their fatigue. I worked like this from morning to night every day, and worked for 5 days in a row, and basically sold out.There are some left.Ready to throw it out today for a cheap price.Xiao Yao manages the accounts, and Wang Xiaotian clears the goods. "It was sold for a total of 910 yuan. After deducting the cost and the lunch fee, the net profit was 250. Each of us was 125." When the money is distributed, there is no change.Their petty coins were all exchanged by others. They didn't know that, near the stations and telephone booths where the vehicles marked "bring your own change, no change" passed by, they would use cash to the people waiting there. For small tickets, a "handling fee" is charged on a percentage basis.Xiao Yao said: "You take 130." "Okay. I'll take the 10 yuan first, and I'll pay you back 5 yuan tomorrow. Don't say no, my brother will settle the score. It's okay for you to buy me a drink on weekdays, but this time it must be absolutely average." Everyone knew each other's temper very well, Xiao Yao said straightforwardly: "Okay, don't forget to pay it back tomorrow." Wang Xiaotian took the money and was very excited, dancing and dancing. Xiao Yao said: "Hey, hey, don't forget what you said 5 days ago." "What did you say? Oh, I remembered, you said you wanted to treat me to a sip!" "Good boy, you are going to renege on your debt!" "Stop making trouble, stop making trouble. Xiao Yao, to be honest, I really don't want to use this money to go to restaurants. It's strange, why don't you feel bad at all spending money from your parents, and it feels different to spend money you earned yourself? " yes.It seems that things must be bought with blood and sweat to be cherished, just like the old fable, the father asked his son to earn a silver coin before his death, and the son stole the money from the family to pay for a job.He didn't care if he said he earned it and threw it into the stove by his father.the last time.He did go to work for a silver piece, and his father threw it in the fire.He rushed over at once, putting out the fire to save his money. "It's not easy to earn this money, and I'm reluctant to spend it. I'm going to put the money one by one in a glass frame as an eternal commemoration, so that I can remember the bitterness and sweetness of my children and grandchildren in the future. Carry out revolutionary traditional education, What happened to your grandfather and me back then, look at you now..." Wang Xiaotian said half-truthfully. At this moment, they found that their "colleagues", those fruit sellers, drink sellers, fortune tellers... all flew past them, and shouted: "Ah Sir (the policeman) 〕Here we come. Before they could recover, a few industrial and commercial personnel in uniform stood in front of them with extraordinary momentum, as if "I finally caught one. Treat it well". Immediately, love to watch The bustling Chinese people surrounded their small cart with three floors and three floors outside. People definitely expressed more "joy" than "concern" about the fate of these two middle school students. They immediately understood why the "peers" ran away, and understood their current situation. Work-study is not easy They and some "criminals who need to be punished" gathered in the office of the Street Industrial and Commercial Office, preparing to receive "re-education".There are sellers of fake liquor and cigarettes, and some sellers of pornographic books... Xiao Yao and Wang Xiaotian also ran into a few bad guys who had been "colleagues" on a street just now, and they were caught before they ran away.When everyone met, it was kind of "kind". A tycoon who sold gadgets said with a half-smile: "We are both fallen from the sky." Xiao Yao corrected him in time: "We are also fallen from the end of the world." " Wang Xiaotian and Xiao Yao stood by the door.All around are plastered with spectators ready to feast their eyes.Some of them had followed them here directly from the street.Which bastard designed this industrial and commercial office, it really lacks the virtue of eight lifetimes.It is almost all surrounded by glass, it doesn't matter which is the door and which is the window.Locking it inside is like entering a panda house in a zoo. It really shows your eyes.The onlookers pointed fingers at the "criminals" and talked non-stop.It seems that they want to keep their appearance firmly in mind, so as not to be deceived in the future. Xiao Yao thought, no one knows anyone anyway, so if you want to see it, just look at it.Although I thought so, my forehead was still sweating, and I felt wronged in my heart.Originally, I worked in the dark from dawn to dusk, not saying you were "work-study", but saying you were "selling around"; honestly selling things to make money, not saying you "earned from labor", but saying you were "speculators". Six or seven people in uniform sat there condescendingly, one of them rested his feet on the table presumptuously, and puffed out a cloud arrogantly. He must be a "boss". "What should I do?" Wang Xiaotian asked Xiao Yao in a low voice. "It depends—play by ear." Visiting this Office for the first time.Wang Xiaotian looked around, and several times his eyes followed the people in uniform, as if he wanted to engrave their appearance in his mind. "Want to have a second time?" "What do you think he will do to us?" "have no idea." "I think it's a big deal to keep these 20 boxes. Fortunately, there are only 20 boxes." "You still have some spirit of Ah Q." "Hey, you two, what are you talking about!" "Boss" yelled at Xiao Yao and the others, "You, yes, you go over there! You, the one in blue, go over there!" "Boss" gave Xiao Yao a finger with a cigarette.Wang Xiaotian pointed to a place alone.The two also went honestly. "Do you know why Shenzhen wasn't rated as one of the 'Top Ten Sanitary Cities' this time?...It's because of you three-no people..." "Yes, yes... yes, yes... definitely, definitely..." It is estimated that many people have entered the palace for the second time or even entered the palace for the third time.Gradually, there were fewer and fewer people, some left in the form of voluntary admission of punishment; some were released in the form of passive punishment... The last batch is Xiao Yao and Wang Xiaotian's turn. "Are you students? Which school are you from?" The "boss" sat on the chair with his head raised, his arrogance was like that of an old Shanghai Bund tycoon. "Ninth High School." "Oh, it's still a good middle school." The "boss" looked him up and down, "You also come out to 'fish'?" This is slang. "Work-study program. Seriously." "Work-study program? Do you have a business license? Do you know the industrial and commercial laws? You are operating illegally, selling indiscriminately, affecting the appearance of the city, obstructing traffic, and disturbing public order!" The boss said while poking with his fingers. "Please put your hands down. You know when you point your index finger at others and yell at others. The other three fingers in your hand are pointing at yourself!" Xiao Yao panicked and used a line he had just heard on TV. "You..." "Boss" was at a loss for words.He also put down his hand. "how long?" "5 days." "You say 5 days, but it's actually 5 months." "According to your calculation, we only worked for 5 hours." "Hmph!" The "boss" sneered, "a fine of 1,000 yuan, and all the goods will be confiscated." "1000? Are you joking!" "We have plenty of time, we can accompany you. When to pay the money. When to leave." "You... are extortion." "Extortion? This is our system, and it's the same when you go to the mayor." "We don't have that much money." "You small vendors don't have any money?" "we are students." Wang Xiaotian seemed to think of something: "We really have no money now. But I can ask my father to send money." "Can I borrow the phone?" "Boss" looked at Wang Xiaotian and said after a long time, "Let's fight." Wang Xiaotian approached the desk with a good temper, saw the "boss"'s big feet displayed indecently beside the telephone, and said, "Can your feet..." The "boss" glanced at him again, ignored him, and kept his big feet on the table. "Hello, the Public Security Bureau? Looking for Director Wang, are you Uncle Zhao? I'm Xiao Wang, what? My dad is in a meeting..." At this time, not to mention those in uniforms, even Xiao Yao also pricked up his ears. "Then let me tell you. It's like this, we work-study, ah. You know about this, right, it's selling that badge... a good thing? You said that the good thing doesn't work anymore, we are arrested now... ...What? Impossible? Really, we are in the industrial and commercial office now, and they have to fine me 1,000 yuan to release me...So, you have to ask my dad to pick me up...What? Don't disturb my dad, you can do it right away Solved, oh, thank you so much, I ask you later... ok, ok, that's it; you arrive before five o'clock, ok, I'll wait, you hurry up, we're all staying here 2 It's been an hour...Okay, bye bye." When Wang Xiaotian put down the phone and found that the exhibit——Bigfoot was no longer on the table, he slyly showed an imperceptible smile. Suddenly the "boss" shouted: "I said, why do you look so familiar? It turns out that it is Xiao Wang. How is your father now? He must be very busy, right? "fine." "Promising, come out to work and study on your own; unlike some youngsters nowadays, they just know how to ask their parents for money." The attitude of the "boss" has taken a 180-turn. "Where is our work-study program? Isn't it just selling around?" "Oh, this, this..." "Boss" is a little embarrassed, but he will never embarrass himself, "See where you are going? Work-study is not easy." "Then just now..." "It was all a misunderstanding, you can go now." "Those things...there's another 1,000 yuan..." "Hey, they are all a family, what money are you talking about, seeing outsiders, seeing outsiders..." "Isn't that good?" Wang Xiaotian made a look of embarrassment.The tone is also weird. "Oh, let's go. When Secretary Zhao comes, he will say nothing..." "Then... that's fine too, thank you so much." finished.Wang Xiaotian pulled Xiao Yaofei, who was standing there in a daze, to "escape from victory". "Finally liberated." As soon as Wang Xiaotian left the industrial and commercial office, he took a very exaggerated breath, "I finally breathed in the air of freedom again. Life is precious, and love is more expensive. If it is for freedom, both can be thrown away! " "Now that your dad knows, aren't you afraid of being scolded at home?" "Don't worry, I didn't call my dad at all. I dialed the last number wrong on purpose. Guess where it went? Women's Federation, I was singing a one-man show there. The other side kept saying, 'Did you make a mistake?' If I really call my dad, I'm dead. How about it, be smart. I knew they would eat this. How a chameleon changes color. I saw it this time. If it wasn't for this trick, I would have to pay a fine Stay there for a few days. "Your ingenuity and wisdom are all based on this." Xiao Yao's words were clearly sarcasm. "Others are smart for a lifetime, but are confused for a while; I am a fool for a lifetime, but smart for a while." Wang Xiaotian laughed at himself. "With a good father, he is not afraid to travel all over the world." Both of them had smiles on their faces, but they were not smiling in their hearts.This way of dealing with the problem is not what they want, but other than that.What about two middle school students? The two broke up.Wang Xiaotian took out a Marlboro from his pocket. I don't know why I smoke, I just feel that I need to use a cigarette to adjust my mood at this time.Wang Xiaotian had mixed feelings.A few days ago, Wang Xiaotian, who was extremely disgusted with his father's words, "You are so disobedient. Don't rely on me in the future", now feels lucky to have such a father, but it is also mixed with loss and confusion. A loss and confusion that changed one's beliefs. All the little birds yearn for the big world outside, but not all the little birds can live happily in the big world outside.
