"Why hasn't Uncle been telling stories lately?"
"Well, Xiaohong, we can't disturb Big Brother at work."
"The story told by my uncle is very good, better than what my mother told."
"Of course."
Downstairs in the supermarket, two children sat on the steps of the staircase, milky and homely, for Xiaohong to call the big brother, Xiao Budian was very puzzled, and felt very wrong.
"Little sister, why don't there be any guests coming to the door, we can't play the game of selling things."
"Mom said that today is Sunday, and the mall next door is discounted, and the customers have gone there and don't come to our house."
"Oh, but what's the discount, and why did the mall hit him?"
"Well, I don't know, it should be...... He must have made a mistake. β
"Ahh So if you make a mistake, you will be beaten? Mom never hit me. β
"Your mother is so nice, I made a mistake, my mother will spank me, but it hurts."
At the door, Ye Tian, who was just about to lock the door, almost smiled crookedly, it turned out that listening to children chatting was also quite interesting.
"Uncle!"
"Big brother!"
The two children realized Ye Tian's existence and turned back in surprise, their expressions of excitement overflowing.
"What are you two talking about?"
Ye Tian held the key in one hand and the handrail of the stairs in the other, and slowly walked down from it, because it was a wooden staircase, Ye Tian was very careful every time he came down, lest the stairs collapse one day.
Xiao Hong said: "Uncle, have you made a mistake?" β
"Of course."
"Did someone spank you?"
"When I was a child, I didn't."
Xiao Bu said enviously: "It's good to grow up." β
"What's good, when you grow up, you'll worry all day long."
Ye Tian touched the back of Xiao Bu's head affectionately and asked, "Are there no guests today?" β
Xiao Budian said stupidly: "Yes, when I was eating in the morning, someone came to buy soda." β
"It seems that business is very weak today!"
Ye Tian held Xiao Hong with his left hand and Xiao Budian with his right hand, and said with a smile: "Brother will take you to the mall!" β
"Good!" Xiao Bu Tian Tian agreed, and he looked very well-behaved.
Xiaohong said: "I want it too, my aunt doesn't take me to the mall!" β
"Go all, but don't talk to your mother when you get home!"
The shopping mall is about a kilometer away from the supermarket, walked for fifteen minutes to arrive, the three-story commercial building, the outside is full of banners, it is all commodity discount information, passing by the parking lot, entering the main entrance, the passage is crowded with people, a string of shopping carts are parked around the entrance, Ye Tian moved, took one, put Xiao Budian and Xiao Hong into the car, and said with a smile: "You two stay in the car, there are a lot of people inside, don't get lost!" β
Xiao Bu nodded in agreement, but Xiao Hong was very reluctant, feeling that it was a shame to stay in the shopping cart, only the younger brothers and sisters who were not good at walking would be put inside, and he would run away.
"Toilet paper is discounted, ten yuan a roll!"
"Clothes and pants are sold cheaply, buy one get one free!"
Hearing that buy one get one free, Ye Tian couldn't help but stand up and take a look inside, not long after he came to Hong Kong, there were only two decent clothes, one of which was still a suit, and every time he changed clothes, it was very troublesome.
"Hey, boss, don't you buy one get one free?"
"Didn't I send you!"
"I want this uh, what are you giving me socks for"
"That's right, buy a piece of clothing, get a pair of socks, isn't this just buy one get one free!"
"You...... You're too unreasonable, I'll buy a dress for 190 and you'll give me a pair of socks. β
"Then what do you want, if I give you a piece of clothing, the cost of one hundred and fifty yuan, won't I lose money."
β¦β¦
Listening to the customer, the boss argued, Ye Tian shook his head, the cart walked away, Xiao Hong was curious about the surrounding scene, but he was also very afraid, every once in a while, he would nervously glance at Ye Tian, and then rest assured that he was looking left and right, Xiao Budian grabbed the frame of the cart, and the noisy atmosphere of the shopping mall firmly attracted her, thinking, it would be nice if the supermarket at home was as lively as this.
After spending half an hour walking around the first and second floors for a while, Ye Tian bought toys for the two children, and went up to the third floor, planning to go back after visiting the third floor, and the landlord's hot mother was almost ready for lunch.
The third floor is a place to sell furniture and electrical appliances, with a price tag of thousands and hundreds, and tens of thousands, Ye Tian looked tasteless, he couldn't afford these things, and he still had a few thousand Hong Kong dollars on him, and he had to apply for the training class, so he couldn't squander it at will, and when he wanted to find an exit, he saw two interesting figures, his eyes narrowed, and his heart was beating non-stop.
"Wei Zai, you think about it again, and have a companion with me."
"No, it's all said, I want to make money to support my family, Xingzi, you go back first, let the manager see it, and you're going to scold me again."
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, you will sign up in two days, if you don't agree now, if you want to go, you will have to wait for the next year, and I won't accompany you at that time!"
"Ah Xing, it's really not good, you say that you make a lot of money as a star, but I'm just a salesman, how can I be a star?"
"What's wrong with the star, I still acted in a few plays."
"You're playing tricks, okay?"
"Let's apply for the wireless training class, so we don't have to play tricks!"
Zhou Xingchi, Liang Chaowei?
Sure enough, it was them, Ye Tian stared at the two of them for a while, and he was sure that he guessed well, although he looked immature, Zhou Xingchi didn't have the joy in the movie when he spoke, and he was also very outdated, wearing a blue vest and gray slacks on his lower body, like a gangster who had nothing to do, while Liang Chaowei was much more formal, wearing a white shirt, tie, black pants underneath, and a hair dryer in his hand, which looked like selling electrical appliances.
"Hey, that decrepit boy over there, what's there to see." Zhou Xingchi looked like he was not afraid of things and shouted at Ye Tian.
Liang Chaowei grabbed Zhou Xingchi and frowned: "Ah Xing, is it good that you are polite, the manager is the most annoying to be rude to customers, and when he sees it, he may want to fire me!" β
The actor sells electrical appliances, and the king of comedy runs the show, it turns out that they are so down!
Ye Tian had the heart to get acquainted with the two, and said with a smile: "Are you two talking about the artist training class held by TVB?" β
Zhou Xingchi was surprised: "You also know? β
Liang Chaowei didn't dare to be interested in applying for a wireless training class, so he took the opportunity to sell his hair dryer to Ye Tian.
"This gentleman, why don't you take a look at this hair dryer first, brand-name products, there are hot air, cold air, slow wind, fast wind, good quality, low price, other merchants sell at least more than 100, we only sell 80 here."
"Okay, give me one."
Ye Tian bought the hair dryer very quickly, and his heart was secretly refreshed, the electrical appliances promoted by Liang Chaowei were placed before the crossing, and he couldn't buy them for any amount of money, hehe, I didn't expect that before Liang Chaowei entered the industry, he was selling electrical appliances.
More than a dozen 500 yuan bills in Ye Tian's wallet really made Zhou Xingchi and Liang Chaowei's eyes shine, in their cognition, only those big bosses will bring so much money when they go out, like them, it is normal to have dozens of yuan in their wallets, and they must be careful if they are hundreds, as for thousands, there will be so much unless they are paid.
"My name is Ye Tian, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Zhou Xingchi grinned and said, "My name is Zhou Xingchi, and everyone calls me Ah Xing." β
Liang Chaowei is an introvert and usually doesn't make friends with strangers, but Ye Tian bought his goods, and he was embarrassed to refuse, so he smiled lightly: "My name is Liang Chaowei, you can just call me Wei Zai." β
Xiao Budian and Xiao Hong sat on the trolley very honestly, looking at Zhou Xingchi and Liang Chaowei curiously, in their eyes, these two people are normal, why do you want to talk to them for so long, adults are really troublesome, there are acquaintances everywhere, and they talk endlessly.
Ye Tian said tentatively: "Ah Xing, just now you persuaded Wei Zai to apply for the wireless training class?" β
Zhou Xingchi didn't suspect that Ye Tian had ulterior motives, he was just a little Luo Luo, and said with a smile: "Yes, the wireless training class is about to sign up, I want to persuade Wei Zai to go along." β
Liang Chaowei frowned: "Don't say it, I'm not interested in that." β
Ye Tian said with a smile: "Actually, I also planned to go to the training class, so I came to meet you, maybe you will be classmates." β
"Really!" Zhou Xingchi immediately had a good impression of Ye Tian, he had been in the entertainment industry for so long, and he only found a person who was willing to apply for the training class, and the two were still neighbors.
"yes!" Ye Tian nodded.
Liang Chaowei smiled: "Okay, Ah Xing, you have found someone with the same goal now, you two are companions, and I will forget it." β
"Why?" Ye Tian was slightly surprised, the future actor didn't like acting?
Liang Chaowei's face froze, and Zhou Xingchi explained: "Wei Zai's family is in difficulty, every time he persuades him, he uses domestic support as an excuse, as if celebrities are poor ghosts, I have been running tricks for so long, and I haven't starved my family." β
"That's your part-time job, and how much of the money you earn is given to your aunt!"
"It's one thing to make money or not, it's another thing to pay it or not, anyway, I won't give up my dream for the pressure of life!" Zhou Xingchi said solemnly.
Liang Chaowei, who had always been opposed, was silent, Ye Tian's arrival touched him a lot, rich people have to apply for training classes, maybe they can really make money there.
Ye Tian, who was in distress a few days ago, inadvertently became a rich man.
Zhou Xingchi and Liang Chaowei argued, Ye Tian understood the latter's concerns, and the doubts in his heart gradually became clear, today is 1981, but Zhou Xingchi and Liang Chaowei are members of the 82 training class, it seems that Zhou Xingchi did not persuade Liang Chaowei to apply for the exam alone, and was eliminated, and could only apply for the next period.
"Wei Zai, I think what Ah Xing said is good, you are a salesman, at most you will be a sales manager in the future, and you will live an unchanged life, it will be different if you apply for the training class, and you will be lucky to become an instant hit like Zhou Yanfa, and your life will be colorful in the future, and you can easily make money, compared with your sales of electrical appliances, is the future much better?"
Liang Chaowei worried: "If you apply for the training class, you have to quit your job, if you quit your job, you won't be paid, and my family won't support me, I know you mean well, but I really can't." β
Zhou Xingchi shook his head and said, "It seems that you really don't want to be an actor." β
Liang Chaowei is silent, he likes acting, and he also yearns for the life of an actor, and often talks about his thoughts in the mirror, but reality is reality, and he can't take ideals as food.
Ye Tian and the three of them chatted hotly, Xiao Budian twisted his body, but he didn't want to disturb Ye Tian's nature, and said timidly in Xiao Hong's ear: "Xiao Hong, I want to go to the toilet, do you want to go?" β
"I don't want to."
"I want to go."
Xiao Hong thought for a while: "Let's go together." β
Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, what Ye Tian wants to say, Zhou Xingchi has already persuaded him hundreds of times, but reversing Liang Chaowei's thoughts, Ye Tian asked himself, the problem is that he will not be able to think of any good words for a while, and this place is not suitable.
"Ah Xing, Wei Zai, if you have time tonight, let's have a meal together."
Zhou Xingchi said unexpectedly: "Treat to dinner? β
Ye Tian smiled: "I'm in for a treat!" β
Liang Chaowei's brows just furrowed, and when he heard Ye Tian's treat, he hesitated for a while and did not refuse.
"Hey, it's a little ......"
After turning around, Ye Tian's smile froze on his face, two toys were left on the trolley, and the two children, Xiao Budian and Xiao Hong, were nowhere to be seen, and the words that he wanted to leave the address were thrown out of the clouds.
