We were walking and a tricycle drove past us, and I pointed to the tricycle and said to Rolls-Roy, "You see, an overloaded tricycle like this is completely unacceptable." "The cabbage behind the tricycle has long been piled up and crumbling, and the wheels are also a little struggling. Rollo asked me, "Then why are you here now?" "The same distance, the same goods, if he pulls a little more at a time, he can pull two less trips, whether it is time or fuel money, it saves a lot." Rollo still didn't understand my answer: "But isn't that dangerous, and it's illegal." I looked at this pure girl and shook my head: "It's not illegal, it's early in the morning, most of the people here are vegetable farmers in the countryside, or wholesalers who go to other places to collect vegetables, in the absence of supervision, as long as they don't break the law, these people naturally want to be convenient for their own interests." Rollo seemed a little unhappy: "Oh, okay. ”

We came to the stall where the tricycle stopped just now, the driver was unloading the cabbage one by one, and next to me thought that the aunt was using a notebook to write down the unloaded goods, I walked over to the aunt who counted and said, "Auntie, where did this cabbage come from." The aunt still didn't stop the pen in her hand: "There is so much rain this year, you can ask me this and I won't pit you." I nodded and turned away. Rollo still asked me like a curious baby, "What are you talking to that aunt, why can't I understand?" I replied to her as I walked: "When sowing cabbage, in order to prevent the seeds from soaking in rain and becoming moldy, it is generally sunny weather, and there is a lot of rain this summer, so these cabbages are likely to be greenhouses or cold storage, and they will not be fresh." She nodded, "Oh, okay." ”

At three o'clock in the morning, we came to a breakfast shop, and she and I found a place to sit down: "Boss, two bowls of porridge, four sorghum cakes, divided into two bowls." The boss of the early shop replied to me while busy with the work at hand: "Okay, wait." Rollo looked at me and asked, "You seem familiar with this place." I got up and took two small bowls and handed one to her: "These are dishes, you can add whatever you want." After I finished speaking, I put some green beans, fried green peppers, mustard vegetables, dried radish and a piece of tofu into the bowl. Rollo watched me move and added some of his favorite dishes to his bowl. The boss brought out two bowls of white porridge and two bowls of sorghum rice and put them on the tray: "Two bowls of white porridge cost six yuan, and four sorghum porridge twelve yuan, a total of eighteen." "I took out my phone, paid for eighteen yuan, and went back to our seats with these.

Luo Luo lowered his head and drank the porridge, shouting that it was delicious. I took a sip of porridge and said to her, "Aren't you also from Guilin?" She scratched her head, "yes, but I didn't know there was anything like this for breakfast." I took another bite of sorghum cake: "Actually, the night is really beautiful, there are people coming and going, there is also a lot of traffic, there can be stars at night, there can be bright lights, there are many things that are not visible, what can be seen, another world." Just like the old Liang Tou who came to the bar once a month before, he used to be a member of this world, people are busy, haunting every night, with the so-called 'normal people' different lives, when they are busy, we are sleeping, and when they are busy they can lie down, we start the day's work. She let out a soft "oh" and resumed her breakfast.

"Boss, five bowls of white porridge, two bowls of lean porridge. Seven sanitation workers came in early, and the one who took the lead asked the boss for seven bowls of porridge and took the group of people behind him to find a place and sit down. "Sister Wang, there are so many goods coming back from the seafood department this morning, you have gained a lot. A sanitation worker asked. The only aunt among the sanitation workers replied to him: "Fortunately, there are a few boxes of shrimp that died a lot this morning, and Lao Zhao and they are difficult to go into the ice storage to count, so if you don't want it, give it all to me, and go to my house for dinner tonight." Another sanitation worker continued: "I just had a hotel come to buy, he asked for a lot of vegetable stalks, and then I helped him pick them, and he didn't want a lot of bad or not very fresh ones, he threw them all there, I picked them up and brought them over at night." ”

Rollo overheard their conversation and looked at me, and I knew what she wanted to ask again: "Are you full?" She nodded, and I tore a few squares from the paper roll on the table and handed it to her in two: "I'll leave when I'm full." ”

Walking out of the door, I stretched and found her looking at me expectantly. I let out a comfortable sound after stretching:" Most of the seafood that died during transportation is because of the lack of air, as long as it has not smelled, it can be eaten in theory, and some seafood can be sold slowly in cold storage, and some if it is not alive The price is either affected, or no one wants it, so those fish stalls are too troublesome to throw directly into the cold storage, they pick it up and deal with it just enough to eat, and those big hotels they are particularly strict in the choice of ingredients, and the selection is not that they can't be eaten, but it doesn't meet their needs。 If these things are wasted, they can only be wasted, and for them, these consumption will cost them half a month's salary at a time. ”

When we came to the seafood department, Zhao Kee Seafood occupies four shops and is one of the largest restaurants in the seafood department, so I turned to Luo Luo and said, "I invite you to a big meal today." Her somewhat tired eyes lit up instantly: "Oh, what to eat!" Sure enough, girls still like to eat, although they shout that they are so fat every day, or they threaten to lose weight every day, as long as they have food, they can't resist the temptation, and even if they resist the temptation, it's because they haven't been delivered to their mouths.

I shook my head and sighed: "Pick it yourself, pick it and take it back for Lin to do." She looked at me expectantly, "You can pick anything!" I looked at her bright eyes and shook my head again: "You are happy." ”

"Eh, Li Li, you went back to Guilin, when did you come back? "I was watching Rollo pick seafood, and a familiar male voice came from behind me. I turned to look for the source of the sound, it was Momo. Momo's father was a sworn brother to my father, and his father started doing fruit wholesale when we were younger, and when we grew up, he followed my father's mantle.

Mo Mo came over and patted me on the shoulder: "Don't tell me when you come back, my old man keeps asking me if I have any news of you." I smiled: "Not long after I came back, you are so early." He handed me a cigarette: "The old man bought a few shops here to make cold storage and warehouses, I will take care of these shops, what about you, why are you here so early." Before I could answer him, Rollo jumped up beside me: "Choose, pay." I looked at the black plastic bags of various sizes that my boss weighed, and I shook my head: "It's all over the place." She replied with a grin, "I want to eat it." Momo poked me and asked in a low voice, "Girlfriend." As soon as I was about to retort, Rollo put his arm around me and asked, "Is it like?" After saying that, I took out my wallet and gave it to Rollo: "You go and swipe the card." She pouted and took the card, and went to check out with an "oh". Momo lightly punched me in the shoulder: "Yes, beautiful." I took a puff of my cigarette and shook my head: "What's the matter, this little girl, the resident singer of our bar." Mo Mo looked at me with a wicked smile: "The bar singer came with you to buy groceries before dawn, is it the bar singer or your home singer." Rollo came out with a big bag and a small bag, and I took the seafood from her, and Momo said, "Let's go, go to my store and eat some fruit." Before I could refuse, Luo Luo excitedly asked Momo: "Really, what's the result!" I patted her on the head: "It's so greedy, I don't even know if I've been sold." She muttered, "Isn't it still you?" ”

It was a little gray and white, and the sun was ready to go to work at five o'clock, and I, to avoid its rays, had to leave when it appeared. Carrying freshly squeezed oil, buying seafood, carrying fruits from the pit, and taking the tired and excited little girl who had played all night. I shook my head, isn't this just firewood, rice, oil and salt?

On December 23, 2018, at Rolls-Roy's call, we started cleaning the bar, and Rollo said, "Christmas."

In fact, I don't know if it's Christmas every year, because every Christmas Eve, I squat alone in a corner, or at home, or in a bubble tea shop, or in a quiet bar, or in a café. Squatting, just squatting alone, watching "Love Actually". Every year, it never changes. I have a lot of strange habits, such as the letter in April every year, for example, I donate blood twice a year, for example, every Christmas I have to watch Love Actually.

Christmas is a big holiday abroad, and it is no less grand than our New Year. Christmas should be truth-telling, should be with loved ones, and should do something to make you happy. But after all, it was someone else's holiday. For a withdrawn person like me, I should love myself well and tell the truth to myself.

"What is a person thinking when he looks at the Christmas tree? "I was standing by the Christmas tree on the stage in a daze, Rollo walked up behind me and patted me on the shoulder, I looked back at her in a Santa hat, she had dyed her pale khaki hair, and looked at me with a smile. I came to my senses: "Oh, no, it's nothing, I just think time is so fast, I was still dependent on my landlord last Christmas, and you just arrived, and you were still crying at that time." She kicked me: "Forget about it!" After saying that, she took out a lantern from the cardboard box next to her: "Come on, put it on our Christmas tree." I took the lanterns, said "um" and began to figure out how to install the troublesome stuff.

THE LANDLORD SAT AT THE TABLE WITH A GLASS OF WINE IN FRONT OF HIM, PLAYING GAMES WITH AN IPAD, AND SCOLDING AT THE SCREEN FROM TIME TO TIME, I WALKED TO HIS TABLE AND PULLED OUT A CHAIR AND SAT DOWN, HE QUICKLY PUT DOWN HIS IPAD AND LEANED IN FRONT OF ME: "EH, HOW ARE YOU DOING?" I looked at him suspiciously: "What's wrong?" He took a sip of wine and looked at me teasingly: "It's still pretending, just the two of you, you, and Luo Luo, can you see it everyone." I still don't understand: "Whoever pretends to be with you, what is pretending, I'm almost thirty, she's only in her early twenties, a little sister." The landlord still looked at me teasingly: "Yes, little sister, little sister, you take people to stay home in the middle of the night, little sister, you often take people to eat big meals on our backs, and little sister often asks you to accompany her to class." I ignored him, took out my phone and lowered my head and started playing.
