At night, although there is no moonlight and there are not a few stars to be seen, the lights in the places where the military training is carried out are lit, and the surrounding area of the playground is clearly illuminated.

"Rest in place for five minutes!"

As soon as the instructor's words fell, the group of people who were still standing there in a military posture just now sat on the ground like soft mud.

"Smack!"

The sound of slapping mosquitoes sounded.

"Oh, mygodand Buddha his uncle!" A student in the same dormitory as Jiao Wei looked at the blood stains on his palms and the corpses of mosquitoes, and exclaimed, "Is it easy for me to raise such a little blood!" That's it, and I won't let it go! ”

"Don't be disrespectful to the Buddha and his old man." Jiao Wei's other roommate said.

"The Buddha is compassionate, just let me fart just now."

“…… You just let it go, don't think that I don't know how to scream so loudly. ”

"Do you want to be a Buddha?" Jiao Wei asked the other roommate with a smile.

"I don't want to, how tired the Buddha is, and I still want to purify all sentient beings, I just need to graduate successfully, find a job, find a wife, have a child, and live this ordinary and long life."

The previous roommate was silent for a while, and said, "I still don't participate in such a high-end topic, hey, didn't you say that eating vitamin B1 can prevent mosquito bites?" Ate it for Mao Laozi or was it tricked? ”

"It varies from person to person."

"It's better to go back and sprinkle the toilet water."

In the place of military training at night, the smell of various mosquitoes and insects such as flower water, wind oil essence, and mosquito bites are intertwined, but the mosquitoes that grow in Chuhua University are always not afraid of death.

……

At half past nine in the evening, the day's military training ended. Jiao Wei did not go back to the dormitory with his roommates, but walked to the school gate. He would go to his small restaurant every night and help organize some things until it closed. When I go back to the dormitory, I also bring some supper for the dormitory people.

Today, when Jiao Wei came to his small restaurant, although there was still a little distance, he also saw some people sitting inside.

Usually there are no more people at this time, but what's going on today?

When Jiao Wei walked quickly to the door of the small restaurant, the people inside also walked out.

Among them, the one who took the lead had a cigarette in his mouth. Dyed yellow hair. It's a bit of a hanging.

Jiao Wei sighed in his heart, and stopped paying attention to those people, and hurriedly ran into the store, seeing that his parents were fine. only to breathe a sigh of relief.

"What's wrong?" Jiao Wei asked. "Are those people here to find fault?"

Jiao Wei once heard someone say that. Some shop owners will hire someone to find fault when they see that other shops are doing well, so they are more anxious.

"It's fine. Do not worry. Jiao Wei's father waved his hand.

No matter how Jiao Wei asked, his parents just didn't say anything, and the next day he found the fellow who was hired to help alone to figure things out.

Yesterday evening, when the rush hour passed, the number of people coming to the restaurant gradually decreased, and then a few people who didn't look easy to mess with came in, saying that they were asking them to pay "sanitation fees".

But Jiao Wei's family has already paid the health fee, and there is still a payment slip, so it is obvious that in that case, "health fee" has another meaning.

Words such as "sanitation fee" or "management fee" mean "protection fee" in some cases.

In the past, when he was in a small county town, Jiao Wei's store was still a little more formal, but this kind of fee was also paid, but Jiao Wei didn't know what to do.

Therefore, Jiao Wei was very angry after figuring out the reason for the matter, and when he went to find his parents, he called the police if he really couldn't do it.

Jiao Wei's father was relatively calm, and he smiled and made a few small jokes, and then told Jiao Wei about the stakes.

In fact, those who do business around here, whether it is a small shop, or those students who set up stalls and night markets, have encountered this kind of thing. He asked the surrounding shops to see how much they paid, and Zhilu said that his store paid more, and he was not too angry, after all, his family was a newcomer, or a foreigner, it didn't matter, it didn't matter, after talking, he paid for a month.

When they were about to open a store here, Jiao Wei's parents were actually mentally prepared, but they didn't expect it to come so quickly. The two who used to be honest people have stumbled and pondered some experience in the first two years of coming out to do business. Now, now that Jiao Wei has pierced this layer of paper, the two of them will also tell Jiao Wei about some of their experiences.

Originally, the two of them thought that their children's future jobs would definitely be like those senior white-collar workers on TV, and they didn't have to face those who found fault and collected protection fees, but no matter which position they were in, there were potential rules, and it was okay if you were strong, if you were just an ordinary person, you should follow the rules.

After listening to his parents talk about those experiences, Jiao Wei felt very bad in his heart, he was not stupid, and he knew that this was the truth, but after all, he was a young man, after all, he still had a lot of enthusiasm, and when he hadn't calmed down to study before, he had also fought, and he had quarreled with the teacher and flipped the table, Jiao Wei couldn't be sure if he would go up and fight with them if he saw those people again.

After lunch in the afternoon, Jiao Wei sat at the door of the small restaurant, helping to peel potatoes. The store is full of people, so it's not inside, and the outside is more breathable. Although his parents pulled him and didn't let him fix it, Jiao Wei was stubborn and not afraid of being laughed at, what happened to helping the family peel potatoes? Who said that college students can't peel potatoes? I didn't do anything unseemly.

While I was sharpening, the owner of the next door shop came over.

The shop next door mainly sells pasta and is owned by a young couple. During this time, the two families were familiar with each other, and the owner of the store next door also knew Jiao Wei.

"I heard that your store was populated last night?" The boss said.

Yesterday, there was something in the pasta shop next door, and it was only open for half a day in the morning, and the boss of Jiao Wei's shop still listened to the people around him.

"Hmm." Jiao Wei responded, he didn't really want to mention this topic, and the force of peeling potatoes in his hands was much greater.

The boss smiled, "Don't be unconvinced, in fact, everyone is the same, and so is our family, I just graduated at that time, I don't know the rules here, and I wanted to call the police, but I was stopped by my daughter-in-law." With the attitude of calming things down, I handed over some first. Later, I found someone, but I didn't run into them again. ”

Seeing that Jiao Wei was silent, but the action of peeling potatoes was much slower, Zhilu said that he was listening, and the boss pointed to a hot pot restaurant opposite: "When his house first opened, business was very hot, and then for a while, a dozen or so gangsters went to the store every day to eat, and at first they paid for it, and then they gradually began to find faults." How much does it cost to talk directly after the last one. The boss wasn't soft either. At that time, although those people were asked to go the next day, they found someone in the evening, and the next day, none of the thugs came. He didn't show up in his store again.

And the one who sells rice bowls. When you encounter this kind of thing, you can call a group of people directly. was ready to make a big fight, but was later dispersed by the police. But the thugs never looked for him again. Gangsters are also bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, if they know that you are a hard stubble. will not come, if you can't talk to them about etiquette, you will be ruthless directly, and now this society is like this, you have to be ruthless when you are a man. At that time, there were also many people who deliberately wore shirtless tattoos among the gangsters, and there were all kinds of steel pipe knives on the car, which did not end like that.

There used to be a period of hard crackdown, and those people disappeared for a long time, and now they are gradually popping up again, but in the past, they were mostly minions and gangsters, but now these have emerged so quickly, and it is estimated that it is not easy to rectify. If you know someone from the police or the joint defense team in charge of this area, you can go and walk around, but it is still necessary to spend some money on this, after all, everyone wants to do business well.

There are also some shops around that have not been targeted, even if the owners of those shops are not locals, but they have stayed here for many years, and they have some connections, so I don't know if they have taken other paths. As for people like your family, you can first go to explore the wind, ask more shops nearby, find out who is in charge of this, and then go to worship the mountain, if someone takes care of you, of course, there will be no problem, if this does not work, try to find other ways. Everything is difficult at the beginning, just get through it, if there is really no way, just hand it over, be on time, otherwise you will suffer. We came out to seek wealth, not anger, but the situation is stronger than people, and you don't know when the next crackdown will be, so ......"

The boss didn't finish the rest of the story, his daughter-in-law called him, answered and hurried back.

Jiao Wei was still sitting there, peeling potatoes somewhat absentmindedly.

"Sounds so hot."

The sudden sound next to him startled Jiao Wei, and he went behind him to see Su Qu standing there eating with a bowl of rice.

"Senior Su, why don't you go to the store to sit and eat?" Jiao Wei said.

Because of Jiao's father, Su Qu and Yi Xin both knew Jiao Wei, and sometimes after dinner, they would come to visit his store when they left school.

"It's okay, there are a lot of people over there, come out to breathe, I didn't expect to hear those words just now. The boss didn't say it, I really didn't know that there was such a thing in Lu Dao, and I hadn't heard them say that some classmates had set up stalls before, so I don't know if Lu Dao didn't meet it or they didn't want to say it. Su Qu said slurred while picking up the rice in his mouth, "But I don't think the well-mixed community needs to survive in this way, those people are probably just small people, you really don't need to give them face, if you find someone to fight at that time, count me in it." ”

Su Qu's big man is indeed quite oppressive, but Jiao Wei will not really use that extreme way, he can't afford to gamble, his parents are here, he is still old, Jiao Wei doesn't want them to have any accidents, even if they win, what guarantee can they have?

"Senior Su, do you recognize him...... People in this area? Jiao Wei didn't know how to describe it.

Su Qu understood what he meant, but he hadn't been here for long, and most of the time he lived in the laboratory, dormitory, and cafeteria, and this was the first time he had heard of this kind of thing.

"I know my boss." Su Qu said helplessly.

Jiao Wei shook his head, "Don't bother Uncle Mingsheng, he has already helped us a lot, and he has two children at home." ”

"Hmm......" Su Qu wiped his mouth, and then his eyes lit up, "You know that person named Wei Ling, right?" ”

"I know, but I'm not familiar with it, I came here before opening the store, and then I hurriedly ordered a takeout and left, can he?"

"I heard what my senior brother said, you can try."

"However, if you want to find Wei Ling, you must go to Uncle Mingsheng, this ......"

"I'm just going to tell you what you know, and it's up to you whether you believe it or not."

"Hmm."

Su Qu threw the empty disposable lunch box into the garbage basket and said, "If you really want to ask Wei Ling for help, you don't have to go through my boss's line. ”

"What do you mean?"

"My boss's cat!"

Jiao Wei: "......" (to be continued......
