Chapter 285: Fireworks
However, when I was hungry, I asked Ah Ling to make some snacks for himself, soak some cheap and delicious pickles and take them to school, but this account is not clear, even the free tutor at night is not easy to calculate.
Nalan Hongdou always looked at his homework for Ah Ling, he replied that he was idle, he couldn't find anything to do, and he felt awkward.
This made the girl laugh. This guy is in a daze in addition to working, and he will also talk about idleness. She said you read the book, and he thought about it for a moment and said okay.
So she took it to find a scrap collection stall, there are many people in these businesses nearby, and most of them also know the female owner of this beautiful steamed bun shop. He took Ah Ling to find the old book, bought a few kilograms at a time, and didn't have to pick more, Ah Ling seemed to be interested in everything, bought it back and flipped through it quickly, and he didn't know how much he remembered.
Seems to have really remembered, right? Nalan Hongdou tested him, asking him the first sentence page by page, and within about two hours, Ah Ling could recall the content accurate to the number of pages, and then quickly forgot it, only remembering a rough idea.
In another day, he would forget even the title of the book, occasionally buy fewer books, and turn out the books he had read before, and even read them with relish.
This made Nalan Hongdou feel surprised and helpless, she was afraid that if this guy couldn't see herself for three days, she was afraid that he would forget about himself again.
Punched him a few times in a huff, but Ah Ling didn't know what the girl thought, just smiled, casually pointed out a miscalculated question in her homework book, and immersed herself in the world of her book.
Later, Ah Zero bought himself a bicycle, which was also one of those scrap stalls. Start putting away some of the rags. After discovering that this kid was rich, Zhang Jiujiu couldn't stop his itchy hands and began to borrow money from him. Ah Ling will never refuse, and will give him any money he has, but Zhang Jiujiu is sober and will keep him the money to buy raw materials tomorrow.
This old fox is more sober than anyone else, if Ah Ling doesn't buy buns, he doesn't have this little bit of water to take, and he knows that fine water flows for a long time. Don't do things like killing chickens and taking eggs.
Nalan Hongdou later found out that his father had "cheated" Ah Ling's money, and had a fight with him, Zhang Jiujiu said sourly that the girl was outgoing. Even Ah Ling doesn't care, did he rob Ah Ling of all the money he used to marry his daughter-in-law?
The inexplicable Nalan Hongdou's face turned red, and he scolded the old man and went back to the house to do his homework. It happened that Ah Ling burned the food and found a wine to fight, and the two of them forgot the girl's emotions in the back of their minds. It's on the rise. Ah Ling's turnover on this day was deceived by Zhang Jiujiu again.
While buying things, he was gnawed by an old gambler who lost more and won less, and Ah Ling sold it until the Spring Festival, and found that his money went out like a stream of water. During the Spring Festival, people go home, steamed buns are not easy to buy, but he still has a way to make money, it turns out that these days he picked up things to form a computer, but also pull broadband. Helping these migrant workers go online to grab train tickets, they were charged an extra ten yuan each. It's still crowded.
If you can buy a ticket home, it will cost you ten dollars more than it will be from a scalper. And Ah Ling is here to buy, and when the time is good, you can grab the sleeper, which makes these big bosses feel the power of technology.
Zhang Jiujiu is a local, and he took Nalan Red Beans and Ah Ling to spend the Spring Festival here. On Chinese New Year's Eve, Ah Zero bought ten pounds of pork and ten pounds of pork ribs, as well as chickens, ducks and fish, and the three of them cooked a table of dishes, invited some workers who did not go home, and everyone had a lively meal.
A fat-headed and big-eared guy ate Ah Ling's food and couldn't help asking, "Where are you kid?" There are all major cuisines in Sichuan, Lu, and Guangdong on this table, and each dish is very authentic, and my tongue that has eaten 9.6 million square kilometers is going to lose to you. ”
Hearing this, Ah Ling smiled and said politely: "I don't know, what comes to mind, it's blind burning." ”
"Alas, I'm really unconvinced, you are such a powerful young man, and you won't come back for the New Year, so let your parents worry about it!"
Ah Ling's expression couldn't help but darken, he didn't even know who he was, how did he know where his parents were? Although he has always been open-minded, he couldn't help but silently raise his glass and take the lead in drinking.
Nalan Hongdou keenly noticed that Ah Ling, who had always been happy, was not right, gently held his hand, and whispered: "This is your home, my father and I are your relatives, you will spend the Spring Festival here, and when you think about it, you will go back." ”
The table was full of lively eating, but the girl's soft words were only heard by Ah Ling, and he glanced back at her, wrote the word thank you in the palm of her hand with his backhand, and began to continue to fight again.
At this time, those who stayed here to eat at other people's houses were either old bachelors, or they couldn't go back for various reasons. For example, the fat man who eats all kinds of flavors of Baimeng roasted vegetables is a driver, his wife has kidney disease and needs dialysis every week, and two children have to go to school.
Everyone who stays here has their own back, and there is no home at all, so they can get together at a table, and they can't help but scold a few words of their mother in advance, eat and drink a lot, and take up their body and mind, so that they don't think of those troubles.
In the end, the only ones who could stand up were Nalan Red Bean and Ah Ling. Looking at the young man whose eyes are getting brighter and brighter, although he is wearing the same foreign trade clothes as everyone else, he always makes people feel that he has a kind of luxury that does not match here.
The two of them sent the people from the south to the north back home, and then they had the time to clean up the house. The meal was eaten until eleven o'clock, and the cannon outside sounded, but it was a red flower.
"Do you want to set off fireworks?"
Zero suddenly asked with a smile.
"We didn't buy it at all, where are we going to spend fireworks!"
Nalan Hongdou naturally had a trace of yearning in his eyes, but he quickly lowered his head and gloomed.
From small to old, the conditions at home do not allow her to set off fireworks, anyway, most of the children here are like this, the biggest happiness is to find the ones that are not burning in the pile of debris, and then light the fire herself.
"I remember, there's a fireworks spot on the east side of the street."
Ah Ling said lightly, he remembered it clearly this time and didn't forget it.
"At this time, where it will be opened, people are not allowed to eat."
"It's definitely going to be open."
Ah Ling went back to the house and took the coats of the two people, put them on for her, pulled her and ran outside.
Because it's the Chinese New Year, the lighting here is better than usual.
When we got to the fireworks point, it was locked and there was no one. Nalan Hongdou said disappointedly: "Are you dead? Let's go back. ”
I couldn't help but complain in my heart, this guy doesn't cry when he sees the coffin.
Ah Ling smiled, said "Wait a minute" and let go of his hand and ran towards the fireworks stand, raised one leg and kicked it on the shelf, and the shelf fell.
He took out a knife and cut a small hole in the moisture-proof cloth, and in three or two strokes, he pulled out a large hole, revealing the fireworks inside.
"Look, it's on, right?"
Nalan Hongdou opened his mouth wide: "You...... You, you, you, this is a robbery? How can there be a self-delineation? ”
"Do you want to put it out?"
Zero asked with a smile.
"Of course, you have to!"
Nalan Hongdou hesitated a little and stomped his foot, although he was doing a bad thing, he seemed to be quite happy.
This is the first time she has picked things up in the entire store since she was a child, although there is no boss to greet her at the moment, and there are no bright lights to turn on. It's just two people using their mobile phones to illuminate a small stall, but for Nalan Red Bean, it's already too much of a luxury enjoyment.
She picked the big choice and let Ah Ling pile up a lot of them next to her, until Ah Ling said that she couldn't hold it anymore, she clapped her hands with satisfaction, took a few more and stuffed them into her clothes, and then proudly commanded Ah Ling to find a place to set off fireworks.
"Let's go on the rooftop."
Ah Zero has a lot of strength, and it is difficult for others to move large and small gun boxes, he just took out a rope with him, tied it a little, and it became a big burden, carried it on his shoulders and left.
"What a migrant worker!" Nalan Hongdou laughed, he has always been elegant, but in fact, he is doing heavy physical work, and he has a feeling that others can't learn.
Calm, confident, calm, a boy has these temperaments, even if there are no thousands of gold and silver surrounding the body, it can also make people feel safe and reliable.
You must know that as long as she is a normal woman, she loves fame and status, and she also seeks a safety, but in the future to get a good life, her mother-in-law wants a house, and she also wants to give her daughter a safe guarantee.
But the girl is kind after all, and when she saw Ah Ling cover the stall with a cloth and turn the cut back into a position that she couldn't see, she couldn't help but worry: "The shopkeeper who came out to sell these small things won't be too rich, right?" If we do this, will he cry to death? ”
"No, I left your dad's wallet in it." Ah Ling paused, "He won a big one yesterday, and he drank too much today, so he hasn't played yet." ”
"You guy!" Nalan Hongdou couldn't help but widen his eyes, feeling sorry for his wallet and feeling that he had taken less, these fireworks were probably not enough for the money inside, and he hesitated for a long time, but saw that Ah Ling had already gone far, so he followed.
They burrowed into a nearby state-run textile factory. This residential area is the original factory occupation built around the factory, but with the development of time, the competitiveness of the state-owned factory is getting smaller and smaller, the management is not good, the living standard of the factory employees is declining more and more, more and more people go out to work, and there is no one to care about it here, so they build a lot of bungalows privately, and it has become a place where outsiders are concentrated.
On weekdays, the operating rate of factories is pitifully low, and it is even more closed during the Chinese New Year. Ah Ling and Nalan Red Bean sneaked in and climbed to the top of the tallest building. (To be continued......)
