Chapter 147: It's hard to be a hawker

Early in the morning, Tie Dan got up early, hugged his son, kissed his daughter, waited for Xiao Nuan to have breakfast, and sent her to school, and then hurried home and prepared to go out of the stall

"Wolf tooth potato" is a delicious snack loved by the citizens of Jindu, this small profit thin iron egg can not afford to invest in this big business, in addition to the stall, he will also go to the dock at night to help unload, increase additional income to supplement the family

For him, he is now satisfied to be able to feed a family of seven and keep them fed and clothed

Xie Yuhan's body was not very good, plus the nutrition couldn't keep up, the milk was not full, and she couldn't feed the two children at all

Tie Dan Daddy and Mother because of the patriarchal thinking, every day, they send Tie Dan Niang to supervise Xie Yuhan to breastfeed, Xiao Zheng is greedy, every time he holds the milk, his head does not let go, and he sucks so much that Xie Yuhan grins in pain and breaks out in a cold sweat, he drank all the essence, he chirped his small mouth twice, held up his round belly, and was satisfied to be taken away by the smiling Iron Dan Niang

When it was Xiao Ran's turn, there was only clear soup and little water left, she sucked a few mouthfuls hard, but it didn't taste good, and then sucked hard, even the tasteless water was gone, she waved her little hand, and she was so aggrieved that she cried

Xie Yuhan hugged her tightly in distress, tears rippled when Xiao Ran was born, she was more than Xiao Zheng, but now it is very different, she looks thinner day by day, but Xiao Zheng is getting stronger and stronger the more she thinks about it

At the beginning, when the two children landed, the iron father scolded in the ward, saying: This girl is domineering, and she doesn't know how to humble her younger brother, look at my eldest grandson who is yellow-skinned and thin-

From that moment on, Xie Yuhan understood that in the future, in this family, her daughter was not welcomed, and she secretly told herself that she must give her daughter more maternal love, so that she can grow up happily

Tie Dan Niang put Xiao Zheng in Tie Dan Daddy's arms, took the milk bottle filled with rice soup from the kitchen, and hurriedly walked into the back room, she sent a drop of rice soup, tested the temperature on her wrist, and then handed it to Xie Yuhan, and said: "Hurry up and give the baby to eat, the screaming is endless, and it makes people uneasy——"

Xie Yuhan took the bottle, tears rolled down involuntarily, she trembled and sent the pacifier to Xiao Ran's mouth, the child's crying stopped abruptly, sucking the pacifier in a big gulp, and the rice soup was accompanied by the sound of swallowing and sobbing, and quickly bottomed out

Xie Yuhan looked down at Xiao Ran, who was struggling hard, but saw that she was laughing at herself, her heart ached, and she muttered in her heart: My poor child, mother is sorry for you-

Xiao Ran seemed to be able to see through her thoughts, and soothed her self-blaming heart with a brighter smile

The little money that Tie Dan earned, barely maintaining the family's living expenses, couldn't afford milk powder at all, he also saved money, pulled out the money from between his teeth, and asked Tie Dan Niang to buy some milk powder and come back for Xiao Ran to drink, Tie Dan Niang either didn't buy it at all, or bought it back and only gave Xiao Zheng a meal

Xie Yuhan saw it in her eyes and felt pain in her heart, these things, she didn't want to say in front of Tie Dan, where in the world is there such a generous man, raising three children who are not related to herself, without complaining that he gets up early and is greedy for darkness, and works hard, how can she bear to add blockage to his heart again, after all, the two old men are his parents, and they can love Xiaozheng so much, and they have already burned high incense, how can they destroy their family's father-son relationship, mother-son love

The days are like this, Xie Yuhan is looking forward to the children being older, she can go out to find a job, make money to improve the life of the family, the children are her hope, and the iron egg is her spiritual pillar, supporting her to endure hard

……

Tie Dan parked his tricycle on the side of the road at the intersection of the city center, set up a stall, and prepared to do business

On the tricycle, there is a wooden plank, on which are lined up with various spices, in the belly of the car, there is half a cart of potatoes, and a row of honeycomb coal, on the frame, there is a plastic bag, which contains disposable bowls and toothpicks, on the ground next to the tricycle, there is a honeycomb coal stove, on which is set up an iron pot, flames burst out of the cracks, and the pot is smoking

Snort -

Tie Dan poured the chopped potatoes into the pot, and suddenly, the aroma overflowed and wafted far away

After a while, someone was already looking for them smelling the fragrance, standing next to the tricycle waiting to buy food, and Tie Dan was busy with a smile on his face, greeting customers

Every customer is his God, and he is the one who feeds his family, and he can earn two cents after deducting various costs, and if he is lucky and the business is prosperous, he can also have an income of twenty or thirty in a day, which is slightly better than carrying work on the dock

Before doing this business, he also experienced a fierce ideological struggle, fortunately, he graduated from Jindu University, but he could only end up in a situation of practicing stalls on the street, so that acquaintances could meet him, and his face was not good-looking

Jindu is a place, not big, not small, I don't know why, he went to find a job, no unit hired him, even if he had the opportunity to try, he was not given a chance

Waiting for the rice to be put into the pot at home, the money they borrowed before like Long Hair and Fat Man should also be repaid, although people don't urge, but obviously, there is less contact between buddies, and Tie Dan feels that people seem to have to take a detour when they see him

People are not afraid of being poor, but they are afraid that people are poor and short-sighted, and a strong sense of inferiority is bred in the heart of Tiedan, and he is always in a low state

In desperation, he had no choice but to let go, wipe his face into his trouser pocket, put it up, buy a second-hand tricycle, and start his career as a hawker

At first, he was a little embarrassed to shout, but as the days went by, he gradually got used to it, not only shouting loudly to solicit business, but also becoming a talkative person

Because he is kind and generous, he has really attracted a lot of repeat customers, and his business has become more and more stable

At this moment, he looked at the few people waiting in line for the chatting day, and felt comfortable, thinking: Today is off to a good start, it seems that the income will be good! The weather is getting hotter, and it is almost summer in the blink of an eye, as long as the business is good, he can also buy a flower skirt for Xie Yuhan and Xiao Nuan at that time-

Thinking of this, his hands were even more nimble, he took out the ripe potatoes in the pot, and then poured them into the raw potatoes, and the crispy wolf tooth potatoes looked golden and tempting, and mixed with seasonings was even more gluttonous

Tie Dan smiled and handed the bowl of potatoes to the customer, and did not forget to say: "Go slowly, come back next time!"

"Run—the chengguan is coming—"

"Stop, don't run—stop—"

Tie Dan raised his eyes when he heard the sound, and he was terrible, and the vendors who had just set up stalls on the roadside to sell fruits and groceries were panicking around

The hawkers ran in front, and the chengguan chased behind, and for a while, the black miasma on the street had heard the hawkers tell, and a new term, chengguan, was said to be a small merchant and hawker who specialized in the streets and alleys, if they were caught, they would definitely not have good fruit to eat

At this moment, he hurriedly packed up the stove, and the hot oil pot was emitting black smoke, which brought great inconvenience to his escape

Just when he was at a loss and hesitating, several people in uniform had already arrived, one of them pushed the tricycle and left, and the other poured hot oil into the green belt, and threw the smoke on the stopped small truck with the words "administrative law enforcement", and then lifted the stove with flames to the car and put it away

Before he came back to his senses, he was escorted forward, and other chengguan law enforcement officers were still chasing the scattered hawkers

The pedestrians on the side of the road stopped and watched, Tie Dan's heart couldn't help but feel compassion, lamenting that life was not easy, and he earned money to support his family with his own hands, but ended up like this

Things were confiscated, people were detained, and it was said that a lot of fines had to be paid before they could be released

"Yang Wentie, do you know that you have destroyed the appearance of the city, everything will be confiscated, pay a fine of 1,000 yuan, and you can leave"

"A thousand pieces" Tie Dan stared at the fat, shaved, uniformed young man with a fat mouth wide open, and couldn't believe his ears

Even if the business is booming every day, the family can't eat or drink, and they can't save more than 1,000 yuan in a month, not to mention, if the things have to be confiscated, it is equivalent to cutting off the livelihood of a family of seven

He stammered: "I didn't steal, I didn't rob, I relied on my own labor to earn money to support my family, how could I break the law?"

"Don't talk nonsense, you just say whether the fine is paid or not!" the young man glared at him impatiently

Tie Dan was stunned in his heart, he really hadn't experienced such a thing, and he didn't know if he would be arrested if he didn't pay the fine, if he went to prison, what would the family do Thinking of this, he had to force his temper, took out the money he had just earned, put it on the table, and said pitifully: "I only have so much money-"

The young man frowned and glanced at the crumpled change tickets on the table, which only added up to two or three yuan, his face sank, and he said coldly: "Notify the family to pay the fine, otherwise, you can stay here!"

"I don't have any money at home, a family of seven, except for the elderly, it's a child-" Tie Dan was in a hurry, the news reached the family, and he didn't rush Xie Yuhan and his father and mother out of a hurry, he hurriedly pleaded

"If you don't have money, you can afford to marry a daughter-in-law, and give birth to a litter of children, I have seen a lot of small merchants and vendors like you, and when we see us, we will only cry poor, and our pockets are bulging more than anyone else!" said the young man disdainfully

"My family really has no money - or, let me out, I borrow money and come back to pay the fine, no" The iron egg is soft and hard, the fine he can find a way to borrow, people must go out today He knows the situation at home very well, if he can't go back, the family must fry the pot

"When we are idiots, r buns beat dogs, there are still people who can go back, either send someone to get money with you, or ask someone to send money to ransom people, hurry up" The young man glanced at him

"I-" Iron Egg had nothing to do, and his heart was like a cat scratching

"Tell me about you people, when you put the money in your pocket, you were happy, and when you took it out, why did you stay here obediently, we were going to eat" The young man shook his head and followed the others out the door

Bang Dong –

Iron Egg heard the sound of the door locked

When the footsteps were far away, Tie Dan hurriedly searched around to see if he could escape

He pulled the door and didn't move, and then he ran to the window, all the windows were welded with the fence, and he pushed open the screen, and with both hands he pulled the steel bars on the fence, but in vain

Tossing and turning, tossing and turning, without the slightest progress, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, he quickly closed the screen window, returned to his original position, and pretended to be nothing
