From a thin slit opened by the black leather bag, Tian Guo vaguely saw the colorful figure of the foreign exchange coupon, yo drink! That's a lot! The eldest sister also saw it, and the two said in unison, "Yes." ”

The woman closed the purse, pointed across the road, and walked over first. The eldest sister followed closely, and Tian Guo fell last because it was inconvenient to push the bicycle. Like spies, the three of them crossed the road in turn to the opposite side of the street behind the flower bed, where there were also a few old locust trees with lush foliage, forming a green screen.

Because it was noon, there were few pedestrians on the street, Tian Guo looked left and right, and found that there were only them here.

"Remove the odds, I have a total of 137 yuan of foreign exchange coupons here, I sell 150 yuan, how much do you want?" The woman asked straight to the point.

"I want it all!" Tian Guo and the eldest sister spoke in unison.

"You want it all?" The eldest sister was obviously startled and asked Tian Guo, "What are you buying?" Do you have to use so much money? ”

Tian Guo understood that at this time, she and her eldest sister were no longer comrades in the same trench, but enemies who snatched foreign exchange coupons, and at this time, it was up to who was worse than whom, and who needed foreign exchange coupons more than whom. "Eldest sister, I buy a TV, I heard that there is a Panasonic TV set sold in Japan in the friendship store, and a 12-inch one sells for 380 yuan, which is not enough for me."

"Since it's not enough, just give it to me, I'll buy a bicycle, and this 137 is enough!" The eldest sister quickly found a breakthrough.

"That's not going to work!" Tian Guo narrowed his eyes, "Everything comes first and comes first, today is the hotel I arrived at before you, and this coupon should be mine." ”

"Oh, you girl is unreasonable!" The eldest sister was also anxious, "Why did you say it was yours, you said that you went to the hotel first, who saw it?" Also, how can this come first and come later? It's better to come early than to come by coincidence, besides, it's not enough for you to buy a TV for more than 100 yuan, but it's absolutely enough for me to buy a bicycle, my sons are all 15 years old, and everyone else has bicycles, but our family doesn't, which child has no vanity, why is my son blinded"

Playing the bitter card? Tian Guo rolled his eyes, and said in his heart, do you think that you are the only one in the world? Am I more bitter than you? "Eldest sister, your son is not easy, but our family is not rich, do you know, my grandma is in her 60s, and I haven't seen what the TV looks like, I got up early and saved a sum of money, just want to buy a TV to honor her old man, my unit is smaller, I don't even have a TV ticket, your son is still young, and there are days of riding a bicycle, so don't rob my grandma."

The two of them are here, you and I are complaining one by one. Over there, the woman had finished smoking a cigarette and interrupted them impatiently: "Hey, do you want a voucher?" After discussing it for so long, but it didn't come to fruition, did you play with me? Give you one more minute, or I'll be gone!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Tian Guo and the eldest sister immediately closed their mouths, the two looked at each other, their eyes were pitiful, and finally the eldest sister said: "Girl, I beg you, for the sake of me being almost forty years old, you can give me this coupon." In this way, the eldest sister is not an unreasonable person, 137 yuan foreign exchange coupon, I want 100, how about giving you 37? The extra 13 yuan, I pay 11, can you pay 2 yuan? ”

It doesn't seem to be a loss. If you have it, you should accumulate virtue and do good, Tian Guo sighed and agreed, "Okay." ”

In the next few days, Tian Guo rode her bicycle around the Beijing Hotel as long as she was okay at noon, and finally ran into the legendary scalper, when she was pushing her bicycle back and forth in the alley, and then a primary school student came over and asked in a low voice: "Auntie, do you want a foreign exchange coupon?" Seeing Tian Guo nodding, he took him into an antique courtyard.

The scalper is called "third brother", and when Tian Guo walked in, he was squatting in the yard and teasing the crickets with his two buddies.

"Come in." He beckoned and led Tian Guo into a small side room.

Tian Guo kept an eye on it, didn't go into the house, left the door open and stood near the door and waited. always felt that he was not like a good person, and when he was rummaging through the drawers, Tian Guo casually asked, "Is the foreign exchange coupon in your hand real?" ”

Actually, this question is very rude, you think it's fake, you can't come, since you're here, why do you still ask if it's true or false? For a moment, Tian Guo felt that he might be blasted out by the third brother, but he never thought that the third brother grinned and pointed to his head: "You use it, if you can't use it, it's fake, I'll cut off this head and use it as a urinal for you!" ”

Tian Guo turned his face to the door when he said this, he was really terrifying and hooligan!

The third brother told Sù Tianguo that he had recently investigated selfishly reselling foreign exchange coupons, "I didn't care before, but then someone raised the price too high, and it is estimated that it provoked the relatives of which uncle, so I began to strictly investigate, if you buy foreign exchange coupons from me, don't spread it everywhere, the price is right and think clearly before buying." ”

Tian Guo understood what he meant, this is a one-shot deal, if you think it is appropriate, buy it, and don't regret it. She nodded and asked, "Do you charge a fee per dollar or per sheet?" ”

"How much do you want? If it's more, I'll give you a cheaper one. ”

"I want 100."

"100, I want 130." The third brother said.

"So expensive?" Tian Guo was speechless, and quickly pretended to be pitiful, no, it was really pitiful, "Third brother, can it be cheaper?" I'm just a barber, and I don't make much money a month. ”

"And how much do you think is appropriate?" The third brother asked.

Tian Guo thought about it and understood that if the bid was too low, the deal would be in vain, "In this way, third brother, it is not easy for you to make money, and I really don't have much money in my hand, do you look at 115 lines?" ”

"No, it's too little, you add more."

Tian Guo gritted his teeth: "117, I'm gone for one more point." You'll have to set aside money for me for the second half of the month's meal. ”

“OK！” The third brother blew his fingers and began to count the foreign exchange vouchers.

Now that the foreign exchange coupon is in hand, Tian Guo began to think about how to enter the Friendship Store. Since I want to see my passport, I'll just go and make a fake one. In the past eight years, there were very few fake documents, almost none, and Tian Guo wasted half a day to find one at the gate of a university in Haidian. As a result, when people heard that it was a passport, they were happy.

"Oh, I've lived so big, I haven't seen what a passport looks like, I'm sorry, classmate, I can't do this. Or, you go and get a passport, maybe I can make it with a gourd drawing. ”

Tian Guo couldn't cry or laugh, thinking to himself, if I have that thing, why are I still looking for you?

Making a fake passport didn't work, Tian Guo had to think of another way, and he also pretended to be a Japanese and walked in without changing his face, but as soon as he arrived at the door, he was stopped by the dutiful doorman, seeing her black hair and yellow skin, the doorman directly said Chinese: "I'm sorry, comrade, Chinese are not allowed to enter here." ”

Tian Guo pretended to be a Japanese woman nodded and smiled slightly, with an ignorant expression on her face, which meant "Oh, I don't understand what you're saying." "Hopefully this is the end of the day. It's a pity that the doorman is very dedicated, pointing to the two foreign friends who were taking out their passports on the side and saying in simple English: "I'm sorry, I have to see my passport, I can't go in if I don't have it." ”

That day, Tian Guo rubbed at the door for a long time, sometimes in English and sometimes in Japanese, but in the end, people still didn't let her in. The doorman is sharp-eyed, where can he not see that she is pretending? Finally, he warned in Chinese: "Don't pretend, it will affect my work and call the police directly." ”

There was no way, Tian Guo had to take the last route: to be close to a foreigner.

On Friday, she took a car early in the morning to the friendship store near Jianguomen. Before the store opened, she bought a pancake and began to circle around the mall, imagining how nice it would be if she could be a salesperson here, buy whatever she wanted, and not need a ticket. She knows English, but unfortunately her education is not enough.

There are no foreigners coming early in the morning, but there are already customers in the café on the north side. A man and a woman, both with black hair and yellow skin, sat facing each other, with two cups of coffee at the table, and had a good conversation. No! To be precise, it is the woman who looks happier, and the man's expression is always faint, occasionally opening his mouth to reply, most of the time just nodding in agreement, as if absent-minded.

Japanese? Or overseas Chinese? Tian Guo squatted in a place that was not easy to be found, observing, the man was wearing a white casual shirt with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, about his early thirties, and there was a hint of elegance that Hutong men did not have.

Standing and observing for a while, Tian Guo felt that the more she looked at the woman, the more familiar it became, so she squinted her eyes and looked at it carefully, huh? Wasn't it the long-skirted tsundere who sold her the voucher that day?

It seems that they are not Japanese, but compatriots. Tian Guo was suddenly a little excited, no matter what, he had a relationship with this woman, Tian Guo didn't ask the other party to remember him, he just wanted to give her face and bring her into the mall.

But the woman's ass seemed to be glued to the sofa, and her eyes only looked at the elegant man opposite, and her mouth was chattering and gesturing excitedly. Tian Guo waited outside for a long time, and his squatting position changed several times, and he didn't see the woman move her buttocks. Later, it seemed that she was tired or something, the woman finally stood up, Tian Guo felt that the opportunity had come, and hurriedly ran to the door of the mall, but after waiting for a long time, the woman didn't wait to come out, and the elegant man walked out of the mall.

He couldn't see his height when he was sitting just now, but now he seems to be about the same as Niu Huanran. But his body is thinner than Huan Ge, his hair is meticulously combed, his lenses shimmer faintly golden in the sun, his lips are thin, and his steps are slow, but every step he takes is solid and powerful. And the waist is straight, and from the back it looks like a soldier standing in the phalanx without smiling.

The man came out to smoke, the cigarette was in his mouth, and when he touched his trouser pocket, he found that the lighter was not brought out, and he was about to go back, Tian Guo mustered up the courage to walk up, "Hello comrade, are you looking for matches?" I have it here. As he spoke, he offered a box of matches with both hands, as if he were holding a pearl.

Yesterday there were no matches at home, so I went to the grocery store and bought a box, and when I got home, I forgot to take it out, but I didn't expect it to come in handy today.

Maybe her expression was too flattering, flattering and ill-intentioned, and the man's eyes sank around her and went straight to the mall.

"Ox X what!" Tian Guo whispered to his back. I wake up early in the morning and drink coffee to refresh myself, why did I go last night?

The voice was small, I thought that the other party couldn't hear it, but I didn't want the man to stop suddenly, half of the side came over and narrowed his phoenix eyes, looked at Tian Guo, and asked coldly: "What did you just say?" ”
