After the reform and opening up, in order to make up for the shortage of state-owned enterprises, the small commodity market on Hanzheng Street was revived. A large number www.biquge.info of daily necessities such as matches, soap, and flashlights circulate in urban and rural areas. With the development of the market, it once became the largest batch of goods in the country, and gradually declined after 2000.

From 8 a.m. to 11 a.m., Hanzheng Street is at its busiest, with thousands of garments, leather shoes, accessories and other goods being sent from this 1.67-square-kilometer market to all parts of the country.

Duofu Road is the most densely populated side street, and there is a water of two-wheeled carts parked along the side of the road, and the flatteners go in and out, unloading and loading. At the intersection, Qian Huiying was carrying two bags of clothes and walking inside, shouting: "Let one ha!" Let's make a ha! ”

Although she is tall, she walks extremely steadily, and the woven bags more than one meter high hang on both sides, and the tomps are very rhythmic. Fan Xiaoye looked greedy, and begged all the way: "Sister, just let me try." ”

"You can't do it."

"Oh, you'll just let me pick for a while, there's a few steps left."

Qian Huiying saw that there was still twenty meters away from the store, so she put down the goods and said, "Then you can try, don't be reckless!" ”

"Hee-hee!"

Fan Xiaoye drilled over, put the flat burden on the cat's waist, held it with both hands, and straightened his body up...... Ho! The thick and tough old miscellaneous wood slammed on his shoulder, and the two big bones were hard and painful.

"Ahh

She screamed, almost throwing her clothes out. Qian Huiying hurriedly held it steady and said, "You can't do this, turn it upside down first, and you will save your energy in a leisurely way, and walk forward in small steps......."

After some teaching, she barely got on the road, but it still hurt.

Twenty meters is a long time, and it seems like a long time before I reach a shop that sells women's pants. The boss is a woman, who speaks Hu*Nan dialect, and complained when they met: "You used to be five minutes, but today it's ten minutes." I said you're old, how many more years can you do this? Your son is not like that...... Hey, who is she? ”

She suddenly pointed at Master Fan, and Qian Huiying hurriedly said, "This is my fellow countryman, who just came." ”

“……”

The boss looked at it a few times, and saw that the woman was wearing a mask and was rustic, so he didn't care, and said, "Okay, send it up." ”

"Huh!"

Qian Huiying took the flat shoulder, carried it up to the second floor, and had to help sort out the storage. After wiping down, the female boss had already prepared a warm pot, and when Fan Xiaoye saw this, he hurriedly took out the big pot.

grunted and filled, and charged five yuan for freight, and the two of them went out. She was speechless, and only when she walked away did she ask, "Sister, only give five yuan for such a heavy weight?" ”

"It's a small job, five dollars for the normal price."

Qian Huiying pulled up the cart and said with a smile: "Don't look at her like that, the old customer, prepare hot water for me every day, and sometimes give me a pair of leftover pants, she is very good." ”

After completing this order, the two of them ran to the side of the road to wait for work. March is the off-season, and the weather is warm, so they only picked up four of them in the whole morning and earned 35 yuan.

At around 13 o'clock, Qian Huiying took Fan Xiaoye to a small shop and asked for two bowls of noodles. The vegetarian doesn't even have a little oil star, and it still has a strange smell, of course, it is cheap, only three yuan.

Fan Xiaoye was hungry and panicked, a bowl of noodles had just been at the bottom, but she was too embarrassed to ask for more, so she could only do it.

In the afternoon, the two of them finally got their big job and rushed to the bottom of a building on Duofu Road, which was the warehouse of a certain store. There are nine large bags of clothes, which are still plastic-packed. Stuff the clothes into a woven bag, thread the strips of cloth with a thick needle, and make a simple stitch before stacking the clothes on the cart.

This car can have hundreds of pounds, one drags, one pushes, and the underwear full of fine sweat makes the wind blow, and it is called cold. The location was at a freight transfer station one kilometer away, signing, collecting money, and 20 yuan fell into his pocket.

Fan Xiaoye's physical strength was almost at the limit, and he almost didn't collapse because of the bronze bull in the clothing square, he just kept drinking water. Qian Huiying looked distressed, and she didn't say anything comforting, so she hurriedly said, "If you don't go back, you can rest too." ”

"No, it's fine."

She took off her mask, and her throat was smoking: "What time do you usually finish work, let's finish work at what time." ”

"That ......"

"Oh, it's really fine, I know what strength I have!"

There was no way, Qian Huiying couldn't help it, so she had to continue to wait for work.

Mom! Seeing the movements of the two of them, the three groups of bodyguards who were ambushed fifty meters around instantly had a headache. Especially Lin Leyi, who has been following her since the early hours of the morning, can't wait to bring her over and smack her hard.

If something really happens, how can you ask me to explain it???

……

Business in the afternoon was not good, except for this big job, only two five yuan. At 5 p.m., some shops were closing, and it was time to call it a day.

The two of them didn't go home, so they first went to the alley to buy steamed buns, five cents each, and they were very festive. Qian Huiying asked for four, and Fan Xiaoye asked for three.

Lunch is to deal with, and dinner is to be full. There are leftovers from yesterday in the pot, and when you add some water and cook it, it becomes gruel. The large pieces of cabbage that I bought myself, cut into shreds, mixed with salt and chili oil, are not too unpalatable pickles.

Seven steamed buns, a small pot of porridge, the two women can easily get it.

After the meal, Fan Xiaoye climbed into bed, half-dead, and the eldest aunt didn't even drive it. Qian Huiying sat on the lower bunk, and when she saw that the water on the stove was boiling, she poured it into a washbasin and called, "Can you wash it?" ”

"Wait a minute, I'll rest first."

The woman listened, took off her shirt without any fuss, wiped herself, and boiled another pot.

This kind of life scene, Fan Xiaoye heard her husband talk about it, and it was in the courtyard of the capital. But she really didn't expect that she would experience it one day. Half-squinted and half-awake, I don't know how long it took before I felt my strength recover. She climbed out of bed, embarrassed to strip naked, and simply cleaned it.

After getting along for a day and a night, the friendship between the two skyrocketed, and they almost talked about everything.

Qian Huiying watched her wash her face, the white flesh exposed at the collar was dizzy, and she couldn't help but say, "Your skin is so good, I can't do it." ”

"You're healthy, I'm all weak."

She didn't say anything about maintenance, applying masks and the like, which was unrealistic, so she changed the subject: "Hey, how much did we earn today?" ”

"Plus the dragging vegetables, a total of more than eighty."

"That's good, it's more than two thousand a month." She was slightly surprised.

"I have a lot of work today, and when I don't have a job, it's only forty or fifty. I've been here for eight years, and I used to have more than 3,000 a month, but now it's less than half, and I have to pay management fees. ”

The so-called management fee is charged by the Hanzheng Street Logistics Company, which is 150 yuan per month for entering the central market to collect work; Flowing flat shoulders, 50 yuan per month.

No one can make it clear that they have to pay this money for Mao, they only know that if they don't pay, they will have no business to do.

Qian Huiying obviously hated this, and was about to scold a few words, when she suddenly heard a loud mobile phone ringing, which could scare people to death. She figured out her copycat machine, looked overjoyed, and ran out of the door to pick it up.

Fan Xiaoye was curious, pricked up his ears to listen, and vaguely said something "wear more clothes" and "call you tomorrow". When she got back into the house, she asked, "Who?" ”

"My boy."

Qian Huiying looked proud, and added: "At Wuhan University!" ”

"Yo, that's amazing!" Fan Xiaoye was very cooperative.

"When my kid took the college entrance examination, he was the second in science in the city, and his grades were good. Tell me what material fee you have to pay, 500 yuan, and let's go to the bank at noon tomorrow. ”

"And does he usually come to see you?"

"I'm so busy studying, I'm pretty good about what I'm doing."

University student...... Material Costs...... Studying so busy......

Wipe!

Fan Xiaoye could tell what virtue that son had with his eyes closed, but when she looked at the other party's appearance, she really couldn't speak, so she asked casually: "Then do you miss him?" ”

“……”

Qian Huiying was stunned, her smile was hidden in the dark folds, and she bowed her head and said, "I want to, why don't I want to." ”

“……”

Fan Xiaoye wanted to fan himself, grabbed his hair, and then stiffly held back a sentence: "Hey, Sister Ying, where is your hometown?" I sound like Jingmen. ”

"Yes, it's from Jingmen, you're quite familiar with it?" The woman was a little surprised.

"I have a friend who is also from Jingmen. Hey, then you have land at home, don't you have anyone to plant it? ”

"What can be planted is long gone, and it is a serious illness that is difficult to treat. I couldn't serve it myself, so I subcontracted out. I heard that there was money to be made here, so I came here to try it. Over the years, I have saved some for him to see a doctor, for his mother-in-law to be buried, and for his children to study. Not to mention, no one here is stronger than me. ”

"Then don't keep it all the time, you don't have anything to eat meat or something." Fan Xiaoye said with a smile.

"Eat, I'll eat once a week! Oops, my kid has to find a job after graduation, talk to someone, and buy a house, which doesn't cost money? I don't need it, I can do it. ”

Qian Huiying didn't have the slightest emotion of mourning, but patted her chest with pride. She may not have known that the child was lying, but she didn't want to think about it and didn't know how to fix it.

Under the rickety big light bulb, sat two very different women. The night breeze rustled through the cracks in the windows with the noise of the neighbors.

"Phew!"

Fan Xiaoye suddenly shivered, felt a swelling in his lower abdomen, and said with a headache: "Sister, you can accompany me to the toilet." ”

"Okay, put on some clothes, don't freeze."

Qian Huiying responded quickly, and she didn't even have a flashlight, so she went out in the dark. It's nine o'clock at this time, it's not too early, it's not too late--anyway, it's not enough to let Fan Xiaoye use the urinal.

The two of them walked one after the other, and the road seemed to be splashed with a thick layer of ink, and only the dim lights of the neighbors could illuminate a little.

Fan Xiaoye tugged at the corner of her clothes, rubbed it over there, walked halfway, and suddenly didn't dare to move. I only felt a faint shadow in front of me, and I didn't know if it was a pit or a mound of earth.

"I'll see!"

Qian Huiying also stopped, leaned over carefully, and suddenly the ground under her feet was crooked, and she immediately stabilized. She stepped to the opposite side, and her loud voice was particularly clear in the dark alley:

"It's okay, it's okay, just go forward, just step over!" (To be continued.) )
