"This is the sea of tranquility?" The young woman who had slept close to Lin Quan for four or five hours opened her sleepy eyes slightly, and for a moment, Lin Quan felt that the haggard, tired and crumpled shirt did not dim the young woman's beautiful appearance much

"Here, you're also under the still sea, right?"

The sea is still quiet, and the train will make a big turn and head north; In addition to students like Lin Quan and Guo Baolin, who will become penniless at the end of the term, the green train is more of a migrant worker engaged in hard work in the city, and the vast majority of them will pour into the surging flow of people in Jinghai, dedicating blood and sweat to the development and construction of Jinghai, but can only be exchanged for a meager remuneration that is only enough to survive.

The young woman's eyes showed a confused and helpless look, which made people feel pity and reluctance when they saw it. The young woman got off the train at Jinghai Station, but from her confused and flustered eyes, Lin Quan could see that she had no acquaintances here, or that she herself was not sure what she was coming to Jinghai for.

"You're here to look for a job in Jinghai, right?" Guo Baolin leaned over with his thick mouth, his hand propped up on the fiberboard table, and his shoulder almost pressed against the mother holding the baby.

Guo Baolin's ferocious act of occupying the seats of two people along the way has long made people associate him with the fierce god and evil. His head stretched forward, and the two scars on his face made the young woman shake her spirit, show a timid look, and retreat back.

The young woman saw that Lin Quan was also staring at her, her head was slightly lowered, her bangs were hanging down to cover her smooth forehead, and the frightened eyes of the fawn made people's hearts pound.

There are several criteria for classifying people's appearance, and in addition to being handsome and ugly, they can also be divided by fierceness and loyalty. Guo Baolin is tall and big, and the two scars on his face make people see his fierce nature at a glance.

Lin Quan is thin and delicate, with straight eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and has a strong bookish atmosphere, the only mathematical term Guo Baolin learns likes to use on Lin Quan's body: "Little girl, your appearance is inversely proportional to your filthy heart!" ”

Lin Quan was holding a book in his hand at this time, and the title of "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy" also made people feel a little more at ease with him. The young woman slept so soundly next to him, which showed how important a person's appearance was.

The young woman just woke up and was still a little shy about sleeping next to him, and when Guo Baolin retracted back to the seat opposite, she said to herself: "...... A fellow of mine has worked in Jinghai for a while, and this time I planned to come with her, but the day before I got in the car, something happened to her house suddenly, and I couldn't leave. I was reluctant to refund the money, so I came first......"

No job, no housing, no acquaintances, not much money to spare...... Lin Quan showed a worried look about the young woman's situation: "We are students of Tokai Provincial University......" closed the book, revealing the words "Tokai Provincial University Press" on the spine.

"I saw ...... earlier," the young woman said, the corners of her mouth turned up, giving people a playful feeling, and her expression eased a little. She stayed up in the carriage all night, and it was because she saw that Lin Quan looked like a student, so she went out and squinted next to his left arm and fell asleep. Sleep comfortably, wake up to the plump half of the ** against the body, the two of them are divided, only to feel the blood flow to the half of the body, the ** has a feeling of numb electrocution, but I don't know if the person next to him will think elsewhere.

Lin Quan didn't know that she had such a thought in her heart at that time, but she told the truth: "The factory rarely recruits people in the middle of the year, did your fellow countryman tell you the address of her factory, and she introduced you to her factory, right?" ”

The young woman looked embarrassed and shook her head: "She only said that Jinghai's job opportunities are full of ......"

Many of those who work in Jinghai come out after graduating from junior high school, and few go out for the first time at the age of twenty-four or five. Lin Quan guessed that she had to come out to work because of a change in her family, and it was not convenient to inquire about this kind of thing now: "If you can endure hardship, I can introduce you to a job, the salary will not be too high at first, about six or seven hundred......"

"I'm not afraid to endure hardship, it's just, it's just... I don't have a place to live......" The young woman's voice was very small, but it could touch Lin Quan's heart, and she was also full of gratitude to Lin Quan.

Lin Quan carefully looked at this woman named Fang Nan, Lin Quan has been cultivated by his grandfather Chen Ran for several years, and his kung fu is not too bad to see people, although she is crowded in the hard-seat carriage, Fang Nan's clothes are crumpled, her face is not cleaned up properly, and she has not put on any makeup, but Fang Nan is by no means the kind of mountain village woman who just has good looks, but the confusion of coming to a strange place has made her quiet temperament fade.

After looking at her ID card, I knew that she was only twenty-four years old this year, two years older than herself, probably because she was too tired, she looked like she was twenty-five or sixteen years old, even so, Fang Nan's beautiful appearance made Lin Quan still nervous when he saw it.

Although the crowded green leather carriage is stuffy, the wind that blows through the carriage after the start is not too uncomfortable. After getting out of the car, standing in the crowd of people, the heat wave hit, and the sweat on his body was dripping out.

Jinghai enters the high temperature season from July, and the heat does not drop slightly until mid-September. Thinking of this, my chest felt like a ball of thatch, and it was a mess. Guo Baolin was alone, without a piece of luggage, Lin Quan only had a draggable suitcase for books, but it was Fang Nan's first time going out, not only did he prepare all the clothes for the winter, the green plastic rope woven net pocket contained plastic basins, gargle cups, drying wooden racks and other sundries, Lin Quan squinted at her huge package tied up with a sheet and was afraid that there was a thick quilt hidden.

I don't know if it's because of her simplicity, or because Lin Quan's appearance is too honest, when she left the station, she didn't even ask what job she was introduced, and just followed.

At this time, Lin Quan knew that with such a large amount of luggage, she had to ask for help from the eldest brother; This is good, he and Guo Baolin were beaten in the face.

Fang Nan dragged the money rope of the net bag containing sundries in his hand, the weather was hot and dry, his face was flushed, and Lin Quan and Guo Baolin helped carry the luggage out of the car. Guo Baolin has been fighting and brawling for many years, and he has a sturdy body, one meter eighty-three weighs eighty-five kilograms, but he doesn't feel anything, Lin Quan is one meter eighty tall and weighs sixty-two kilograms, he is embarrassed to fight with Fang Nan for the lightest net pocket, and when he got out of the car, his face was red, and his shirt soaked his sweatshirt and stuck it on his back.

Guo Baolin glanced at Lin Quan over, he glanced sideways at Fang Nan, and asked in a low voice, "Do you really care about this mess?" ”

"Didn't you give me the look you gave me just now? No matter what, I am qualified to work as a waiter in your restaurant. ”

Guo Baolin glanced at Fang Nan, Badawan Restaurant likes to recruit some young and beautiful girls, which can increase the return rate of customers, but under the temptation of all kinds of cities, those young and beautiful girls can't stay in the restaurant for much time.

"Isn't it a humble family to work as a waiter in the Eight Great Bowls? Forget it, throw her into eight bowls, give eight hundred a month, she can't bear the hardships and leave, and she can't complain about us. Seeing that she is quite simple, it is estimated that she can suffer for two more months. ”

Lin Quan wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and nose with his sleeve, his throat and eyes were dry and uncomfortably, and he swallowed saliva when he remembered the aunt who bought cantaloupe at the school gate.

At the north gate of the provincial university, where Lin Quan and Guo Baolin studied, a middle-aged woman with a waist the thickness of a bucket cut cantaloupe into strips, soaked it in clean water in a laundry tub, and put it on a desk dragged from a classroom to sell. In dog days, people can't help but swallow when they stare at the crystal and tender melon flesh.

Lin Quan pushed Guo Baolin's waist with his elbow and asked him, "If there is also a cantaloupe seller here, how much will you buy a piece?" ”

Guo Baolin sweated like rain and had a dry mouth, his eyes lit up when he heard the word "cantaloupe", his hands pinched Lin Quan's shoulders, and shouted: "Where, where?" I remember you had twenty dollars in your pocket and ten dollars stuffed in the soles of your shoes. ”

As soon as Guo Baolin was excited, his hands unconsciously strengthened, Lin Quan slumped his shoulders and shrunk his back, struggling out of his hands, thinking that his shoulders must be red, and he spread his hands, signaling that he was just talking: "You go and drive the pickup truck that your father purchased, there are a bunch of things here." ”

"Take her there?" Guo Baolin laughed.

Lin Quan pushed him and told him to go and come back quickly; turned around and walked to Fang Nan's side: "These things are not convenient for taking a taxi, I asked Guo Zi to drive a pickup truck over." ”

The flush on Fang Nan's face hadn't faded yet, and it was also hot. Lin Quan stood for a while, his feet became weak, and he pushed his glasses to the bridge of his nose, but he didn't care about his image, so he squatted down. Fang Nan was still a little worried, squatting over next to him, and whispered, as if he was afraid of making people angry: "...... Alas, what kind of job do you introduce me, that, that...... There are some things I don't do. ”

It seemed that it took the courage of the boss, and when she said "something", Lin Quan's gaze was moving to her face, and he saw that her face was flushed like drunkenness, and her appearance was very seductive, and she couldn't help but look through her open collar. Lin Quan's heart trembled, grandma's, revealing a small half of the ** is also pink. The throat was rolling, and the sound of unconsciously swallowing saliva was amazingly loud, startling himself, his body swayed, and he almost sat on the ground with his ass, his hand propped up the suitcase back, and sat down: "cough cough ......" It seems that if you don't cough a few times, your mind can't struggle out of the temptation of "something", "Sister Fang Nan, what about this, it's hard to find a decent and comfortable job for a while, Guo Zi's family runs a restaurant, and when you settle down in a while, we'll go to the restaurant to have a look...... That, that, what do I mean, Xiao Guo and I will find something to do during the summer vacation, even if you work for us, we will pay you, if you don't want to, we will let you go directly to the restaurant to help? ”

"What do you want me to do?"

"We'll discuss it when Xiao Guo comes, that is, to make some things and spend some money for summer practice, and we can pay you the salary first......"

"You'll ...... when school starts"

Fang Nan was unacquainted and at a loss, treating them as the last straw, Fang Nan's trust in himself made Lin Quan feel a rare shame in his heart: "After we start school, if you are willing, you will definitely be allowed to work in the restaurant." ”

Lin Quan thought so, and squatted on the ground with Fang Nan to talk casually. Men who came and went always had to unconsciously poke their heads when they passed by Fang Nan, Fang Nan blushed and grabbed his neckline with his hand, as if he could understand the dirty thoughts of men in the world. Lin Quan turned his head sideways, catching a glimpse of Fang Nan's hunched back revealing a small piece of white and tender skin on his buttocks, knowing why the men who passed behind her had to lean forward to take another look.

Lin Quan pretended to have numb legs and backache to stand up and stretch, but unfortunately he didn't find a better perspective to see more places for a moment. When he was bored, Guo Baolin changed his outfit and came over, stood at the exit of Dongyi Station and called, saw Lin Quan waving in response, and squeezed in between the two station staff. Far away, I didn't hear him turn around and scold those two fools.

Guo Baolin rented a house in his third year of high school, and the rent was also cheap, so he never returned it, Guo Baolin did not live often, but the general fox friends and dog friends regarded it as a place to have fun.

Behind the city's No. 1 Middle School, there are dozens of quaint courtyards, a backyard into the courtyard, rusty iron gates, and tall plane trees casting dark green shade. The pickup truck stopped outside the courtyard gate, and as soon as people stepped into the shade of the tree, it was as if they had walked into a cool world.

The landlord illegally built a house in the backyard, there is a yard and exit in front of this house, and the rent is only 200 yuan a month, and the entire * yard is included, which is a good place with excellent quality and low price.

The crisp "click" of the door lock seems to propel people into another happy hour. The smell of male and female body fluids mixed with the musty smell of the rainy season and the irritating smell of a certain kind of perishable food brewing for a long time surged, Lin Quan covered his nose and avoided it, and almost dropped the keychain on the floor tile.

"Which dog man and woman did you give the key, can this fucking live?"

Guo Baolin stood aside, thinking that he had expected this matter, and smiled: "There are women, the smell is not so strong, as if the whole bottle of disinfectant was sprinkled." ”

Fang Nan covered her nose and went in, seeing that her face was so red that it seemed to be oozing blood, she must have smelled something. Fang Nan opened the window to ventilate with her hands and feet, she also understood that this was the place where she settled down, and she didn't need to explain anything.

In the courtyard, four plastic chairs surround the cement table, three empty beer bottles on the table, a pile of green glass shards under the table, and a dozen cans strung together with copper wires, hanging on the branches above the cement table. Guo Baolin lit a cigarette, threw the cigarette case and lighter to Lin Quan, held the cigarette in his right hand, and lit the cigarette butt a few times into the house, the meaning was obvious, and asked how to deal with the people in the house.

Lin Quan walked over, dragged a chair, and when he saw that the chair was covered with black mud marks left by the rain and drying, he pulled off a few leaves of the cement table and sat on it.

"You have to mention this matter to my old man, he will come to the fire when he sees me, and when he goes back to get the car at this time, he almost beats him." Guo Baolin is tall, aggressive, and has a unique rebellious spirit, but he is no longer in front of Guo De. In his exact words: "No one can resist the sinister face of the old man." ”

Guo Dequan's Bada Bowl Restaurant is only one street away from the dormitory building of No. 1 Middle School. knew Guo Dequan far before Guo Baolin, but at that time, they called Guo Dequan Guo Bald, and they called him so smoothly that now they often can't hold their mouths in front of Guo Baolin.

"There's no urgency, let's go to Yushuang Road first."

"Where to go and what? Maybe the old man is there. ”

Lin Quan didn't have a fixed score in his heart, he was too lazy to explain to Guo Baolin now, it was rare to even sell water in the station square, his throat was dry at this time, and he urged Guo Baolin to go out quickly, and said to Fang Nan: "Sister Fang Nan, you clean up first, I'll go out with Guo Zi, you see what is missing, let's bring it together when we go out." ”

Fang Nan jumped out, her sleeves rolled over her elbows, her forearms were white and tender, she was no longer as tired as on the train, and the demeanor between her eyebrows and eyes made others see at a glance that she would not come out of a mountain: "You guys go first, I will bring all the things, and I don't lack anything?" ”

Guo Baolin greeted and drove the pickup truck to Yushuang Road like a sports car. Three kilometers before and after Yushuang Road, the largest fruit and vegetable wholesale market in Jinghai is here.

The sun was red, like remnants of blood, and like clouds of fire burning on a wide green roof. Guo Baolin squinted for a while, but he didn't change gears at hand, and drove the pickup truck into the market with a straightforward turn. Lin Quan sat in the passenger seat, and obviously felt the flutter of the rear of the car. It's getting late, and when the big wholesale fruit and vegetable market is empty, listless fruit and vegetable wholesalers begin to tidy up their stalls to end the day's work, and the air is filled with the smell of sweet and rotting fruit.

Lin Quan stared at the plastic sign above the aisle, pointed to the road and asked Guo Baolin to drive the car into the melon wholesale area, the cantaloupe with green and cucumber skin was neatly stacked, exuding a rich sweet fragrance.

"Dog, how do you know that I stuffed money in my pocket, you said that Fang Nan has this cantaloupe sweet?" Guo Baolin shifted gears and parked, pulled the car door and jumped out first.

The middle-aged man behind the fruit stall had a bald piece on his head, looking a bit like Guo Dequan, and he stood up, leaned against the board, and waited for them to open his mouth to inquire.

Lin Quan stopped Guo Baolin, dragged him back, and asked directly: "If there is a melon with a broken skin that is almost rotten, it doesn't matter if it is rotten." ”

The middle-aged vendor glanced at the pickup truck behind them, and the door of the car was marked with the sign of the "Eight Big Bowls" restaurant, and he spat on the ground with a disdainful face: "The Eight Big Bowls are also a bit famous, and the fruit bowl also chooses this kind of goods, who the still goes there to eat?" He bowed down and took out more than 20 melons with broken skin from under the stall, some of which were darker in color and began to rot the meat, and said impatiently: "Ten yuan, take it together, and throw it away from the garbage can." ”

Guo Baolin squeezed his eyes at the man, and whispered to Lin Quan's ear: "The fruit plates in the restaurant are all given away for free, so you don't need so much?" ”

Damn, I know that there is no good quality in the eight bowls of free gifts, Guo Dequan is cheeky, and it is estimated that the vendor will post his ten yuan of garbage money. Each of these cantaloupes is about ten catties, and if it weren't for some rottenness, the wholesale price would be fourteen or fifteen yuan, and now it is considered a waste of money. Guo Baolin is a little good, his curiosity is not strong, and when he saw Lin Quan taking money from the soles of his shoes, he rolled up his sleeves and carried the rotten melons up. Passing by the door of the supermarket, Lin Quan jumped down, bought two large basins and a few planing knives, as well as bamboo skewers, and went downstairs to the eight bowls, and saw that Guo Dequan's Jetta was not in the parking lot, and instructed Guo Baolin: "Guo Zi, you go and steal two lead boxes for takeaways." ”

Guo Baolin has never been ashamed of eating inside and out, which is admirable, he held two brand-new stirrup lead boxes and handed them over, Lin Quan only felt pressed, opened it and looked, there was a roast chicken, a hoof, a large piece of beef, open the lead box below to see, neatly stacked cans full of pure draft beer.

Lin Quan coughed lightly and pointed to Guo Baolin's trouser pocket: "Your trouser pocket is bulging, did you get the money?" Take a thousand dollars, and let me make the messenger first. ”
