Chapter 244: All the Way South (Part II)

"Dayong, is the one in front selling melons?" Zhong Yuemin pointed to the old farmer who was squatting in front of him.

"Yes, it's a melon, it's still golden!" He Dayong also saw it.

Li Kuiyong said: "Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and buy it!"

"Why?" said He Dayong.

"Why? Then do you want to give me that piece of paper?" Li Kuiyong squinted his eyes and said, "Let you take such a big advantage, why do you ask!"

He Dayong suddenly laughed out loud, "I'll buy it, I'll buy it! I'll buy it!" After speaking, he ran to buy melons.

Zhong Yuemin smiled, "Kui Yong, why are you teasing him? Don't you have a Xi'an girl?

"I'm kidding him!" Li Kuiyong said with a smile, "Anyway, being idle is not idle." ”

"You're going to be bad!" Zhong Yuemin laughed inauthentically.

······

"Kui Yong, Yuemin, where have you been?" Taozi greeted him at this time.

"Let's find a place to take a bath!" Zhong Yuemin replied, "What's the matter?

"Not yet, but your hearts are so big enough that you actually ran to take a bath!" Taozi admired.

"I've been bored in the car for half a month, and I can't stand it. Li Kuiyong said.

Unexpectedly, Taozi asked in a low voice: "Where is it?" I will also go to wash, and I will also be rancid." ”

"Haha······" Zhong Yuemin and Li Kuiyong couldn't help laughing.

The two laughed for a while before whispering to Taozi to show the way, and Taozi ran to get clothes and towels.

Zhong Yuemin happily looked at Taozi's figure running away, and patted his head, "I forgot to ask when this car will leave?"

"No need to ask, Taozi has gone to take a bath, I guess I won't be able to leave today!" Li Kuiyong squinted his eyes and said.

"That's right, so let's stay in peace for now. Zhong Yuemin said a little depressed.

"The melon is coming, the melon is coming!" At this time, He Dayong held a melon in one hand and rushed over excitedly.

"Is the melon sweet?" Li Kuiyong took a melon and asked.

"Uncle Farmer said, Bao is sweet, no money if it's not sweet!" He Dayong said, "This melon is soaked in well water, and it is cold to bite into it!"

"Is there such a god as you say?" Li Kuiyong quipped: "If you shout louder, you can help people and uncles sell melons, and maybe you can even earn money for travel expenses!"

"Hey?" He Dayong patted his thigh, "You're right! I'm able to do it in Beijing, why can't I do it here?"

After speaking, He Dayong put the melon into Li Kuiyong's arms, turned around and ran to the stall selling melons.

"Are you really going?" Li Kuiyong looked at the excited He Dayong and said in surprise.

"Dayong, I'm afraid this kid is a little crazy. Zhong Yuemin looked at He Dayong and negotiated with the melon seller, and sighed, "But it's also very good, I have to have a head!

"Yuemin, you said that if I follow you for a while, will I be like Dayong?" Li Kuiyong asked suddenly.

"I don't know this, everyone has their own fate. Zhong Yuemin shook his head, "Dayong is interested in trading, maybe you are interested in other things, as long as you have the energy to do well." ”

Li Kuiyong nodded thoughtfully.

Zhong Yuemin looked into the distance, "Dayong should have discussed it with someone, let's go and have a look." ”

······

"How is Dayong?" Zhong Yuemin asked with a smile.

"Five yuan, these melons are all mine!" He Dayong said proudly, "I gave an extra five cents, and the fellow promised to help me with two loads of well water." ”

"It's not. Li Kuiyong was puzzled: "Then how are you going to sell it?"

"Selling things is my housekeeping ability, look at me!" He Dayong said with confidence.

Zhong Yuemin and Li Kuiyong simply stood aside to watch how He Dayong sold melons.

"The melon soaked in well water is icy and sweet, sweet to the mouth, and ice to the heart!" He Dayong stood on a high place and shouted, which immediately attracted the attention of the whole train station.

Dayong's brain turned quickly, and he made up the advertising slogan in such a short time. Zhong Yuemin said with a smile.

"What do you mean by advertising words?" asked Li Kuiyong.

"It means to advertise. ”

"I don't understand!"

"It's like the words of Tianqiao's shouting for Demobol. Zhong Yuemin explained.

Li Kuiyong suddenly said, "I understand this, it's just selling!"

"Let's stop watching, let's go and help!" Zhong Yuemin rolled up his sleeves and went up to sell melons.

······

There are really a lot of people around He Dayong who want to buy melons, and they all ask the price.

A middle-aged man asked, "Comrade, how can this melon be sold?"

"Three cents a piece, Bao Tian!"

"Sanmao, it's too expensive, isn't it?"

"Comrade, don't be too expensive, it's all grown by our peasant uncles who worked a hot day, and they all point to this to earn tuition for the baby and tear cloth to make clothes for the daughter-in-law!" He Dayong seemed to have suffered a lot of losses by selling this melon.

Zhong Yuemin hurriedly interjected: "Comrade, three cents and one melon are definitely not expensive, look at how big this melon is! You have to buy more, two melons and five cents, three melons and seven cents!"

"That's not expensive!" another shouted, "I want three!

"Okay|!" He Dayong said happily, "I'll pick a few good ones for you, absolutely sweet!"

"Okay, you pick it for me, I like your honesty as a young man!" the man said happily with a wave of his hand.

He Dayong quickly picked up the melon from the bucket, "Do you want me to cut it for you?"

"No, you hurry up and do business, save more money for the baby and daughter-in-law, I'll go back and cut it with a knife myself!" The man handed over the money and took the melon, and he was especially brave for his sake.

"Thank you, thank you, borrow your auspicious words!" He Dayong thanked happily.

······

"This comrade, how many do you want to buy?" Zhong Yuemin saw that He Dayong's melons were sold, and asked the person who was too expensive just now.

"I'm just one person, I can't eat so much, but one is too expensive!" That comrade really wanted to eat melons, but it was really too expensive.

He Dayong had just received the money, and he was happy, and interjected: "Comrade, this melon will not be bad for a while and a half, you can buy a few more and eat it tomorrow, it's not cheap!"

"That's the way it is, but I just want to eat a melon now, maybe I won't want to eat it tomorrow!"

"Hey, why do you screw one person like this?" Li Kuiyong listened to for a long time next to him, and said impatiently.

"Kui Yong, did you talk like that?" Zhong Yuemin interrupted Li Kuiyong and apologized, "Comrade I can't help it, my brother has a straight personality and a stupid mouth, don't care!"

The man shook his head, "It's okay, it's true that I'm a little screwed." ”

Saying that, the man wanted to leave, but Zhong Yuemin shouted to him, "Comrade, half a melon and a dime, do you want to buy it?"

"You sell half a melon too?" said the middle-aged man in surprise.

"Sell! As long as you are willing to buy, we will sell one-third of them!" Zhong Yuemin replied.

"Okay, I'll buy it. The man immediately took out the money and gave it to Zhong Yuemin.

"Wait a minute, I'll cut it for you right away!" Zhong Yuemin collected the money and prepared to pick and cut melons.

He Dayong grabbed Zhong Yuemin, "Yuemin, you sell half of it, who wants the remaining half?"

"Don't care so much, someone always wants it, it's really not okay, let's eat it ourselves!" Zhong Yuemin replied casually, his hand raised and fell, and the melon was divided in half.

"Comrade, do you want to cut it into pieces for you?" Zhong Yuemin asked casually.

"Oh, can you cut it into pieces?"

"As long as you have a need, we will provide services!" Zhong Yuemin said, "It's just that you have to bring a lunch box, we don't have anything to put here." ”

The middle-aged man hurriedly took out a lunch box from his net pocket, "I have a lunch box, give it." ”

Zhong Yuemin turned out to be a lunch box, put it on the board, divided it by two, cut the melon into pieces, and folded a branch from the book next to him, cut it into a drill, and handed it to the middle-aged man, "You take it, use this to eat hygienically." ”

"The young man is amazing!" said the middle-aged man, happily taking the lunch box full of melons and the chisel made of twigs.

······

The middle-aged man was sent away, and other onlookers flocked to him.

"I have a lunch box, and I want half a melon too!"

"I want a melon, cut it for me, and I want a branch pick!"

"I want a third, do you want to sell it or not?"

······

"Kui Yong, hurry up and cut the branches!" Zhong Yuemin saw that the business was coming, and hurriedly assigned the two of them, "Dayong is responsible for collecting the money!"

Zhong Yuemin picked up the knife and quickly cut the melon, and the action caught up with the fruit cutting game.

When the villagers brought the well water, all the melons on the stall were sold, and the three of them were so tired that they spread them on the ground.

"Are they all sold out?" the fellow looked at the empty stall in surprise.

"Sold out!" He Dayong replied with a smile.

"You city people just want it! I didn't sell it all morning, and you sold it out all at once!" the fellow praised, "The water is here, do you want another load?"

"No, the melons are all sold, what do you need to do with well water?" He Dayong said in Sichuan.

"Then I won't return the money!" said the fellow nervously.

"Fellow, the money doesn't have to be returned. Zhong Yuemin walked to the bucket, took some water and washed his face, he was busy for so long just now, and his whole body was sweating.

"Just don't want money!" the fellow breathed a sigh of relief.

"We can't take these things with us, so you can take them back too. Zhong Yuemin pointed to the stalls and tools.

"That's so embarrassing! I said I would sell it all to you, how can I take advantage of this!" the fellow resolutely disagreed.

"Then fellow, you can get us a few more melons, and we will take them to eat on the road, so that we can sell these things to you again. He Dayong proposed.

"This is fine!" agreed, "I'll go back and get you some melons!"

"That's hard work!"

"It's hard work, it's not hard to make money!" the fellow went back happily.

······

"What are you doing?" Taozi came back from taking a shower and holding a head of wet hair.

"Help fellow villagers sell melons!" He Dayong lied, at this time doing business is not the right way, it is best not to say too much to people who don't know the roots.

"It's a good deed!" Tao Zizuo looked and looked, "Are there any melons, get me one?"

"It's just sold out, and the fellow will send us a few later, and then divide the two of you. He Dayong said.

"That's all right!" Taozi said happily.

"Taozi, why are so many people running outside the station? There are a lot of people with washbasins and towels, they are going to take a bath?" Li Kuiyong said strangely as he looked at the crowd that was swarming out.

"I don't know. Taozi also looked at the crowd of people who were rushing out.

"Taozi, who did you talk to when you came back?" asked Zhong Yuemin.

"Oh, when I came back, I ran into Lao Zhang, and he asked me where I went, so I told him. Taozi replied, and then saw that everyone else was looking at her.

"I only told Lao Zhang alone, not anyone else!" Taozi reacted and explained.

He Dayong said: "Lao Zhang told one person again, and then passed one by one, and then it became like this!"

"No, I just told Lao Zhang, it's been less than ten minutes, how can so many people know so soon?" Taozi still refused to believe it.

"You are underestimating the people's ardent desire to take a bath!" Li Kuiyong patted Taozi on the shoulder and sighed.

······

"Woo woo woo ·······" The train suddenly blew its whistle.

Everyone looked towards the train, and a voice came from the radio: "Comrades, after nearly 20 hours of fighting, the railway ahead has been opened to traffic, please comrades on the train return to their places, quickly start the train, and march to the destination!"

"Comrades······"

The same thing was broadcast over and over again.

The crowd cheered and quickly returned to the train, waiting for the train to restart.

Zhong Yuemin and the others also quickly returned to their carriages.

"It's a pity that the melons haven't been delivered yet. He Dayong said suddenly.

"When is this coming, still thinking about the melon, let's start again!" Li Kuiyong said excitedly.

"You don't care, you have eaten one of the melons I bought, and Yuemin and I have not eaten them!

Li Kui said angrily: "It doesn't matter what you call me······"

Zhong Yuemin turned a deaf ear to the argument between He Dayong and Li Kuiyong, he opened the carriage door wider, fixed it with wire, and then looked at the sunset on the horizon, reflecting half of the sky, but the carriage was getting darker and darker, and even the last glimmer of light gradually disappeared.

Seeing that Zhong Yuemin didn't speak, Li Kuiyong and He Dayong also stopped, thinking about their own thoughts in the dark.

The trains in the station started one after another, and Zhong Yuemin didn't understand how they scheduled, but it was always orderly, otherwise it would be really messy.

After staring for more than half an hour, the train they were on started and slowly increased its speed.

"Comrade, comrade, your melon!"

At this time, there was a sudden shout on the platform, Zhong Yuemin leaned out half of his body, and the fellow who sold melons rushed over and chased along the platform.

But the train won't wait for anyone, the speed is getting faster and faster, Zhong Yuemin is trying his best to reach the door, but it is always a little bit close.

Seeing that the train was about to leave the station, the fellow was suddenly a little anxious, and threw the bag in his hand forward, just throwing it into the carriage.

"Thank you, fellow!" Zhong Yuemin shouted to the fellow who was gradually moving away.

He couldn't hear what the fellow was shouting, but he only saw the other party waving his hand.
