As the sun sets, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on a noisy and noisy wharf, Yang Huaiping dreamed that he became a worker carrying goods in the wharf, he was busy every day, but he was very happy every day.

Suddenly, many familiar and unfamiliar memories came to Yang Huaiping's heart, and in this dream, he relived a familiar life.

Under the evening breeze, the sea was sparkling with microwaves, and with the whistle of the cargo ship entering the port, the workers at the dock called it a day.

A fat, fat, dark-skinned middle-aged man walked up to Yang Huaiping, he took out a large front door from his gray shirt and handed it to Yang Huaiping, saying, "Ah Mian has been busy all day, let's smoke a cigarette and relax!"

Yang Huaiping took out a cigarette box from the ironed flat trouser pocket with cigarettes painted with all kinds of beautiful women, and he smiled and said: "Fairy brand cigarettes, very fragrant and sweet, you don't know that I have this mouthful, I can't get used to other cigarettes!"

Lao Wang took a deep puff at the front door, he slowly spit out smoke and looked at Yang Huaiping with a smile and said, "How are you and Li Xiangxiang in the Emerald Red Pavilion developing!"

Yang Huaiping scratched his head a little honestly, and said with a little shyness on his face: "The relationship is okay, but after all, I am a stinky and sweaty movers, if I want to sleep under the covers with Li Xiangxiang, it is estimated that I will have to wait until I get in the car!"

"Then Ah Mian, do you have any plans, do you want to work as a coolie for the rest of your life!" Lao Wang stared at Yang Huaiping and said in a deep voice.

Yang Huaiping spread his hands helplessly, he took a deep breath, "I used to want to mix in the society, you see that people are Huang Jinrong, Du Yuesheng, Zhang Xiaolin, they are all prosperous, but it's a pity that my sister and mother still have to point to my salary to live, I don't dare to toss around!"

Lao Wang took a cigarette in his mouth and said: "Ah Li, I think you should save the province, the rivers and lakes have no eyes, in fact, it is good to keep to yourself, if you embark on the road of no return, you will not be able to turn back!"

"Lao Wang, I'm kidding you, I'll go first, and my sister said let me buy her some alabaster and lipstick!" Yang Huaiping said as he ran briskly from the dock towards a neon-lit and bustling market.

After Yang Huaiping bought alabaster and lipstick for his sister with five copper plates in a street stall, he walked towards an alley dedicated to attracting customers, Yang Huaiping wanted to meet Li Xiangxiang again, who had been haunting him, and tell her about his recent situation, after all, in the heavy work every day, his inner depression still needs to be relieved.

Since ancient times, there have been ruthless and unrighteous words, but of course Yang Huaiping may have drunk ecstasy soup, he thinks that Li Xiangxiang is definitely his true love.

……

Drifting away, Yang Huaiping came to the door of the alley, he tidied up the neckline of his shirt, took out a fairy brand cigarette and put it in the corner of his mouth, Yang Huaiping imitated the style of the big brother in the black and white movie and walked into the alley, he even tightened the smile on his face in order to pretend to be cold.

At this time, several women standing at the mouth of the alley were wearing cheongsam, with a bewitching posture and a charming posture, walking towards Yang Huaiping, a woman with a delicate figure, hot at the time, and a woman with a "sister's head" grabbed Yang Huaiping's arm, and she snorted and said: " Ah Mian, you came to find Li Xiangxiang again, she followed a middle-aged man who was dressed very stylishly, drove a Chevrolet, wore gold wire glasses, and had a big belly, in fact, whoever does our business has more money will follow whom, Ah Mian is actually Li Xiangxiang She is not there, isn't our sisters the same?"

Yang Huaiping suddenly had an indescribable loss in his expression, he pursed his dry lips and wanted to say something, but in the end he chose to be silent, after being a little stunned, Yang Huaiping took down the hand of the woman who was holding his arm and was delicate, and the cigarette roll in his mouth trembled a little and said: "You are different from Xiangxiang!"

After saying this, Yang Huaiping struggled to run out of this small alley that made him feel dark and obscure, only to hear a series of trivial cynicism coming from behind him.

"What kind of rotten boy is loading people on the dock, I'm sorry!"

"Do you know, Ah Mian, this kid comes to Li Xiangxiang every time he pays his salary, as far as I know, he only earns ten silver dollars a month by helping people move goods at the dock, this kid is simply a swollen face and fat man every time he comes to Xiangxiang, like him, he deserves to suffer for a lifetime!"

"I heard Xiangxiang say that he gave Xiangxiang a silver dollar to let Xiangxiang chat with him, Ah Mian is so shy that he doesn't even dare to touch people's hands, you say this thing is funny or not, I don't know how many times a silver yuan can be in our alley!"

……

After Yang Huaiping rushed out of the alley, he took a big gulp of the fairy brand cigarette in the corner of his mouth and smoked, and then kept coughing.

Suddenly, Yang Huaiping felt his throat choked to the point that he couldn't speak, something in his heart collapsed, Yang Huaiping felt like his heart was stabbed into it, and then stirred back and forth, he squatted on the bustling street in pain and couldn't help himself for a while.

I don't know how long it took for Yang Huaiping to come back to his senses, he stood up and waved his hand to the rickshaw driver on the street for the first time.

A young man wearing a white coat with this towel on his shoulder, and a somewhat thin figure walked up to Yang Huaiping with a respectful face and said loudly: "This master, where are you going!"

"Cat and Dog Alley, hurry up, I'm a little tired!" Yang Huaiping said in a hoarse voice.

"Okay, I'll send you to Cat and Dog Alley!" the man in the white coat bowed and trotted.

……

Sitting on the foreign car, Yang Huaiping's fingers trembled a little and took out a fairy brand cigarette from the cigarette case, he smiled self-deprecatingly, "The reality is still so cruel, rich is the master, and those who don't have money can only watch people hug beautiful women and drive foreign cars with greedy ......"

After the thin man in the white coat heard Yang Huaiping's words, he couldn't help but echo, "This master, you are right, this is a person's life, so we poor people have to learn to accept our fate!"

Yang Huaiping took a deep puff of cigarette, and he secretly cursed in his heart, I admit that I am forced, I accept my fate!

Glory and wealth are a lifetime, poverty and destitude are a lifetime, damn it should be hung alive, this is what Yang Huaiping thinks in his heart, he plans to quit his stable job at the dock, just like he wants to go to the society.

It didn't take long for a thin man in a white coat to send Yang Huaiping to Cat and Dog Alley, and he walked into a red brick house.

After Yang Huaiping gave his alabaster and lipstick to his sister, he and his family gathered around to eat, Yang Huaiping looked at the flickering lights on the table, in a trance, he felt very tired, so he lay on the table and fell asleep, into the next dream!
