"Brother, eat!" Li Xiang was pushed by someone, and hurriedly responded: "Drink, drink!"

"Think, drink too much, will I ask you for a baked steamed bun to eat?" The second brother shouted to the boss: "Boss, have a steamed bun." ”

"Rub, second brother, Xiao Wu!" Li Xiang suddenly realized that he was stunned at the two of them, "Aren't I stranded in the field to accompany customers due to the epidemic, why did I come back." ”

"I can't bake it, I'm going to close the stall, you guys pay for it, the chengguan is coming, and they're all starting to catch it, hurry up!" the little boss of the barbecue responded while cleaning up.

Xiao Wu turned his head to look at the noisy crowd on the other end of the commercial street, and replied to the boss: "I haven't eaten yet, what do you pay?

When the boss heard this, he was anxious: "Hurry up and give the money, I have closed the stall, and I want to eat tomorrow." ”

The second brother took out the money and said, "Let's go, I've drunk too much, I want to eat and come down at night, go back and drink some water." "Let's go, you're alright. ”

Li Xiang slowed down, looked around, and smiled weirdly: "Don't worry, let's sit down again." ”

A cacophony of noise came from afar, and countless unlicensed vendors' sewage flowed towards the small alleys. "Little B cub, running to take advantage of it, right, there are no adults at home, right!! boss scolded and put the white plastic tables and chairs on the flat three-wheeler.

Xiao Wu stood up when he heard this, pulled the barbecue grill and didn't let go, "Who are you scolding? I give money for dinner, you are an unlicensed vendor, you don't care about my, you can't leave, you bake the steamed buns for me!"

The yellow-haired boss is not good at stubble, scolding the street while rushing to the skewer stove. Xiao Wu's hand was dragged to death, the law enforcement team was close in front of him, and the boss was helpless: "Okay, young man, you are awesome, when I meet you guys, I will be moldy for eight lifetimes!"

Looking at the distant figure of the boss, the second brother said: "Xiao Wu, you are not in a sports school for nothing, you are stupid, what are you doing to compete with him, it is not easy, there is nothing to cause trouble!"

"What are you doing here! No stalls are allowed here. The law enforcement officer came up to him and said to his brother.

Li Xiang smiled, quickly took out a cigarette, and stepped forward: "Uncle policeman, we have a barbecue in our own house, not a stall, we don't sell it!"

The staff looked the kid in front of him up and down, he was not tall, with a slightly green beard on his bespectacled face, a large black and white striped vest, dirty jeans with flip-flops, a cigarette in his hand, and a smile on his face. "Do you know how to barbecue by yourself?"

"My parents went upstairs to get meat, and my brother and I live here, and you see that window is my house," Li Xiang pointed to the building on the side of the commercial street and said, "I just want to eat something myself." It's impossible for us kids to sell barbecue, right?" "Xiao Wu, do you bring your ID card?" Li Xiang finished speaking, and shouted at Xiao Wu.

"It's coming, it's coming. Xiao Wu took out his ID card with a smile and handed it over: "Uncle, look, my house is in this building, I am still underage, let's move out immediately, no more barbecue, you don't care about the villain, let us go home." ”

The young staff looked at Xiao Wu with a simple nod, and couldn't help but smile: "Just a few of you will say yes, so poor!" looked down at the documents and said: "Okay, don't do this barbecue anymore, hurry up and go home, tell your parents, you can't occupy the barbecue here, you know, clean up, let's go." ”

"Thank you, uncle, go slowly!" Watching the staff walk away, the third brother became happy.

"It's earned, let's go to the market to buy some meat, take the stove back later, and continue to roast it ourselves!" Xiao Wu grinned.

"This table and stool, broken plastic is useless. The second brother said.

"Let's go, let's move together, see what else we can take, move to the garage of Xiaowu's house, tomorrow, let's practice stalls!" Li Xiang said, picked up the small plastic table, and took the lead in walking into the community.

"Brother, can't you go, you haven't finished pulling yet, hurry up!" Xiao Wu's violent temper shouted outside the door.

"Second brother, you and Wuzi go buy meat, I was a little anxious to drink just now, I'll take it slowly. Li Xiang sat on the toilet and shouted.

"Then what do you eat? chicken heart, kidney, or buy something simple, we don't know how to do it!" the second brother asked.

"It's all right, don't bother me, hurry up, buy and eat!" Li Xiang replied.

The second brother scolded with a smile: "You kid is just lazy, too lazy to move, and." "Yes, my third brother is lazy, chicken thief. ”

With the sound of the door locking, Li Xiang held his cheek and smoked a cigarette, looked up at the ceiling, sat on the toilet and began to think about his life for the first time in his life.

In the summer of 2003, the last vacation of high school, Li Xiang returned to his pre-college time. May in this life, I will not regret my youth and not pay for family affection.

"Rub, make a fortune!Make money!" I don't know if the smoke is too choked or the light is too dazzling, Li Xiang silently left tears.

"I'll rub it, this kidneys smell too much, it's so sassy!" Xiao Wu complained with a mouth full of oil.

The second brother laughed and cramped: "I just said I can't eat it, it's definitely not like this." I said no, you have to eat. ”

Li Xiang looked at the two cousins he saw again, and his heart was turbulent: "Second brother, how is your work?" The second brother lowered his head while eating: "This cola business is a job, running the market, the time is loose, the treatment of large enterprises is not bad, and it is a little cheap." Xiao Wu, what are you going to do?"

Xiao Wu said silently: "I don't know, I can't go to school anyway, let's see if my dad can help me find another school, no, I'll do something with my classmates." ”

Li Xiang heard this, and immediately stopped: "Gotta gotcha, you don't play with your group of classmates from the demolition households." Everyone who has a chance, and what good things they can do, it is better for us brothers to think about what to do and earn some pocket money. ”

The establishment of the development zone has created a group of nouveau riche, and the surrounding bungalows are either demolished or rented out to factory workers, and a group of children do not study well and are idle every day. In the last life, Xiao Wu's group of classmates, fighting, causing trouble, gambling, taking drugs, and doing all the bad things they could do, Xiao Wu played with them for many years, and when he regretted it, it was not small.

"Your family is an outsider, it is not local, it has not been demolished, there are no millions for you, your parents are busy with business, they don't have time to take care of you, you know something yourself. Play with them less. The second brother also said along.

Li Xiang said: "You will be 18 soon, you fight every day, the sports school doesn't want you anymore, don't be difficult for your father, brother will take you to make a fortune!"

"Okay, anyway, I don't have the materials to go to school, how can I get rich!" Xiao Wu laughed indifferently.

The second brother said: "I think about getting rich every day, dream, you two, hurry up and eat! ”

"Rub, I don't eat it, you can give it to Xiao Wu. Get me farther away. ”

"If you eat, you have a lot of ideas. "The second brother eats, the second brother sows. "Whoever wants it will eat, Xiao Wu, if you want to eat it, you will clean up your things in a while." ”

Li Xiang felt that he had lived for more than 30 years in his previous life, and the rest of his life was not as happy as it is today. Inexplicably a little sad.

"Let's start selling skewers tomorrow, we have a stove and a table, and we can make some money this summer." Li Xiang said to the two of them.

"You take me to make a lot of money, just sell barbecue, in a few days you start school and leave, I have nothing to do, I might as well go to the management committee to find a job." Xiao Wu was not very interested.

"The chengguan comes every day, and the meat is confiscated, it's not enough to lose money, let's stop, I want you to have fun for two months, and then school will start, Xiao Wu should find something to do." You two have no money to spend, ask me for it, I will have a salary soon. "The second brother is not very supportive.

Li Xiang lit a cigarette, "If you want to get rich, you also have to have capital! I have thought about it, let's sell it during the day, and there is no chengguan during the day, we are in the courtyard of the community, next to the garage." ”

"Someone is in charge of us, let's move to the garage, my uncle is not at home on a business trip, and he doesn't have a car. "Xiao Wu's mother is Li Xiang's aunt, and the two of them are in business, running from south to north, and rarely at home. Xiao Wu's school also followed his parents' business back and forth, and slowly delayed his studies. Later, in order for Xiao Wu to go to school, he bought a house in the development zone, but he didn't come back often.

"The yard is full of acquaintances, there are many children, and there are many children who coax them, let's come out in the afternoon, and when we roast it, we don't make the children cry, and if you take a cold walk downstairs, you can also eat two bites, let's get some cold beer, boil some peanuts, edamame, and snails. On the opposite side of the open-air swimming pool in the park, if someone eats, we can send it, and if there is something in the yard that you want to take home to eat, we will deliver it to your door. Li Xiang continued: "Let's not do it for too long, let's try it for a summer vacation." ”

The second brother said: "It's okay, it's a way, I'll go back and get some cold mineral water from the unit, I'm a business, you can tie up the goods, get some drinks, you two sell, these two days, I'll help you two prepare!"

Xiao Wu smiled and said, "You prepare some money first, invite us to eat a few meals, and learn how to bake!"
