In the middle of the night, Ma Feiyang suddenly heard a thunderclap, and he didn't care, he seemed to be asleep in a daze, but he didn't want to move. As soon as the rain fell, Ma Feiyang immediately sat up and hurriedly woke up his father. When Ma Baoguo saw that it was raining, he was not in a hurry, and said to his son: "There is a synagogue there, and the gate is with a corridor, so we will go to shelter from the rain." ”

Hurrying slowly, when they reached the synagogue, the rain began to pour heavily. Ma Feiyang felt that his luck was really good, and when he stepped into the corridor with his front foot, the rain was heavy, and he muttered: "Such a coincidence, there is just a synagogue here." Ma Baoguo gasped and said: "What a coincidence, I just saw that there is a hall here, so I came to this alley, this weather says it will rain if it rains, I don't want to be good, it will be late when it rains." Ma Feiyang heard another "oh".

The father and son sat in the corridor like this, watching the rain in the middle of the night, and were speechless for a while. Although the rain was heavy, they sat in the corridor, but they couldn't help them, on the contrary, they drove away the heat and became cooler, the whole person was much more comfortable, and felt that this comfort was not only caused by coolness, and only after a long time did he remember that there were no mosquitoes, Ma Feiyang said casually: "The mosquitoes are gone when it rains." Ma Baoguo said: "The mosquitoes can't withstand such heavy rain and have already died." ”

Ma Feiyang asked: "Where will I sell it tomorrow?" Ma Baoguo touched his face and said: "Let's go to the vegetable market, although I have paid some money, but I have paid the money and I am stable." Ma Baoguo continued: "It is estimated that it will be sold out by noon tomorrow, and then I will go to redeem the melon, didn't you say that you will go to see the normal school, just go over and have a look at it at noon." Ma Feiyang's "oh" sound, this sound has already shaken.

Ma Feiyang leaned against the wall and looked at his father silently, Ma Baoguo put his arms on his knees, his eyes were just staring at the rain, motionless as if a statue was sitting there, Ma Feiyang suddenly thought of those statues in art textbooks, the suffering slaves. Since his mother's death, Dad has indeed been silent, he doesn't want to talk and is too lazy to socialize, he is also old, and his back is no longer straight. But in the past day, he has never seen anyone say what he has said in the past two years, and he can even use a knife to compete with the little ruffian. Ma Feiyang's eyes were full of tears, and he lowered his head for fear of being seen by his father.

The summer rain simply stopped, and the sun came out as soon as the day dawned, as if there had never been such a thing as rain, and those who were asleep would never have believed that it had rained at night had it not been for the water everywhere on the ground. Ma Baoguo wanted to go to yesterday's vegetable market, but the street closest to the vegetable market was already a piece of abruptness, there was garbage floating on the water, the people in the water were either wearing trousers, or rolling the warehouse pipe to their thighs, the water exceeded the knees, and they could only walk slowly, and the storefronts on both sides of the street were busy splashing water outward, and suddenly someone shouted "There are fish, there are fish ......" and someone touched the fish in the water.

I came to the vegetable field in a circle, the vegetable field was also like a vast ocean, the water was black and smelly, the chicken feathers, duck hairs, fish scales, and vegetable leaves were dangling in the water, and the managers of the vegetable field took the iron drill and poked here and there for a while. Fortunately, the ground at the entrance of the vegetable market is high, and the stalls are set up as usual, but because there is water inside, people can't get in, the stalls all pour out, and the door and the road are all jammed, plus the people who buy vegetables pass by, and people push the carts, as well as the sound of selling, bargaining, bicycle bells, and the honking of motorcycles...... Suddenly it became the liveliest place in the city. This reminded Ma Feiyang of two idioms: "shoulder to shoulder, sweating like rain".

This kind of crowding is exactly what is needed to do business, Ma Baoguo answered the price here, reached out to take the melon over there, suddenly weighed the weight and suddenly collected money to find money, busy and happy, Ma Feiyang also continued to help customers put watermelons or put them in bags, or carry them to the car.

The sun rises higher and higher, the moisture on the ground is steamed in the sun, people immediately sweat profusely, there are no trees and tall buildings here, everyone is exposed to the sun, the people who buy vegetables are hot and shouting, and the people who sell vegetables are just complaining, in order to stimulate the kindness of the people who buy vegetables. But the people who buy vegetables, especially those elderly women, are still the same, and in the end, most of them are the first to give in to the sellers, and the buyers are satisfied, and the ones who sell are even more happy.

At this time, I saw a black fat man wearing shorts and two tendons holding a leather bag in his hand, turning around in the crowd, every time he came to a stall, he stretched out the leather bag, and the stall owner threw one or two tickets into it, and went to Ma Baoguo, Ma Baoguo also put two tickets in the same gourd, and bargained with customers. Ma Baoguo knew that this might be the vegetable market charging management fees, but he couldn't be sure, he was busy here, so he asked the stall next to him, and the stall next to him said that it was the management fee, and Ma Baoguo was completely relieved.

Ma Feiyang saw that his father's short-sleeved shirt was already wet on his body, and he was almost the same. Probably less than ten o'clock even if the watermelon is sold out, there are still one or two left, Ma Baoguo said: "Come, Xiao Er, let's go to the shady place over there and eat this melon." Ma Feiyang was really hot and thirsty at this time, thinking that he could smash a watermelon and eat it, Ma Feiyang was also happy to hear what his father said, find a shady place, divide the watermelon into several large pieces, Ma Feiyang sat on the cart, Ma Baoguo squatted, holding a large piece of watermelon in his hand, one bite is a mouthful, four or five mouthfuls are a piece, the big watermelon seeds are spit out, the small watermelon seeds have no effort to remove, and they eat heartily for a while.

After eating the watermelon, Ma Baoguo wiped his hands and began to count the money, Ma Feiyang watched from the side, looked at the count, and asked: "How much have you earned in the past two days?" Ma Baoguo folded the money and rolled it up again, and said to his son: "It's not bad, I earned more than 90 yuan, if you count taxes, land fees, and management fees, you can earn more than 100!" It's really good to do business, no wonder people say that doing business is better than going to work. ”

Ma Baoguo patted his son's head and smiled: "You think it's good when you see that you make money, if you post money, there is no way to make sure you make money in business." He didn't stop and continued: "How hard it is to do business......" Speaking of this, he touched his face meaningfully, and continued: "You are not good at getting into the normal school, you have to study hard, go to school in the future, and don't suffer these hardships." After that, he also got on the board car to rest.

After a pause, Ma Baoguo said: "I still have to go to exchange watermelons, this time I won't go back to Zhouzhuang, I will approve it in the Chengnan Wholesale Market, it's not much worse, you don't have to go, didn't you say to go to see the normal school, let's go, wait until the afternoon to come here to find me, and I'll eat by myself later." Suddenly, I remembered something else and explained it again, so I went to the Chengnan Fruit Market.

Ma Feiyang inquired about the location of the normal school, then walked over, about twenty minutes to the door of the normal school, Ma Feiyang stood at the door of the normal school, can clearly feel that this school is indeed different, that feeling is Zhouzhuang Middle School does not have, just say that this gate is two or three times larger than Zhouzhuang Middle School, the top of the gate is a hollow metal word "learn high for the teacher is a model" , give people a sense of magnificence, from the gate to look in, the campus is lush, tall trees and buildings are everywhere, unlike Zhouzhuang Middle School does not even have a building, the courtyard wall of the school is painted with a new letter, "hold a heart, do not take half a grass to go", sometimes someone enters and exits from the gate, that dressed, the breath of the spirit does not know how many times higher than the teachers of Zhouzhuang, especially the private teachers, it is really a school atmosphere.

Ma Feiyang turned along the courtyard wall of the school, his heart was very relieved, thinking that this is my school, and I will be able to come and go here freely in a few days, he imagined that he would be able to come and go freely with his chest up, with a smile on his face, just when it was time to eat, he also felt hungry, and this excitement suddenly made him decide that he would eat six buns later.

Ma Feiyang had already paid attention to the small restaurant near this on the way to the normal school, and went directly to it with a goal in mind, and just took two steps, he heard a voice shouting "Feiyang, Feiyang." Ma Feiyang turned his head and immediately became surprised and shouted: "Cambridge, why are you, what are you doing here?" Zhang Cambridge rode a bicycle to Ma Feiyang and stopped, and sat on the bicycle and said to Ma Feiyang without getting off: "I came to the county seat to buy a book, there is nothing to do at home, my father asked me to prepare for the first year of high school, what are you doing here?"

Ma Feiyang talked about coming to the city with his father to sell watermelons, and now he has nothing to do and just came to see the future school. Zhang Cambridge turned his head and smiled: "Oh, this is a normal school, it's really beautiful, I knew that I would also be admitted to a normal school!" Ma Feiyang smiled and said: "What are you talking about, how can you afford a normal school, you are all going to go to university to do national affairs in the future." ”

Zhang Cambridge snorted and said, "What if you can't get into college?" Ma Feiyang said: "With you Zhang Cambridge, what university can't be admitted, and it's not a sure thing for you to go to college." Zhang Cambridge said: "Hey, why are you talking about this now, this is early." Asked Ma Feiyang where he was going now, Ma Feiyang replied: "Now find a place to eat, let's go, I invite you to eat xiaolongbao." Zhang Cambridge was not polite, and followed Ma Feiyang to the hotel.

Ma Feiyang originally wanted to eat six buns, but when this Cambridge came, he didn't know how much he wanted, and thought: I want a few more, so I don't have to ask for more than enough food, so I asked for twenty. Zhang Cambridge looked at it and said: "Wow, Feiyang, are you doing business and making a fortune, can you finish eating this?" Ma Feiyang said: "It's okay, let's talk about it while eating." ”

Zhang Cambridge asked about selling watermelons again, saying that selling watermelons must be fun, this sentence almost didn't choke Ma Feiyang, Ma Feiyang took a sip of soup, hehe smiled and said: "It's fun, hey, you haven't done business, I don't know what's going on in business, I've only been out for two days, I know, it's hard to do business." Then he talked about the sun and rainforest and other things, Zhang Cambridge was amazed when he listened, and he couldn't stop sighing after listening.

The two of them were talking, and inadvertently, twenty buns were eaten cleanly, and after eating, Ma Feiyang asked, "Can you eat any more?" Zhang Cambridge hurriedly shook his head and said: "Originally, it was enough to eat seven or eight, but this bun was so delicious, so I insisted on eating two more, and now I can't eat one more." Ma Feiyang also felt the same and enjoyed eating.

Coming out of the restaurant, the two found a park to rest, and chatted about some classmates, and then Zhang Cambridge went home, and Ma Feiyang went to the vegetable market.
