Freight buses are much faster than big green skins, and you don't have to make so many stops on the way.

The brother fulfilled his promise and helped the driver unload the goods all the way, and returned to Shangbei before 6 o'clock for more than two hours.

The driver is also good, the three children on the road have helped a lot, and Qi Lei's mouth is sweet. When I heard that they were going to get off the bus, I ran a little longer and took them to the street.

The three of them did not go home, but carried two large bags of socks to Qi Lei's grandfather's house.

Qi Lei's grandfather and grandmother live together with Qi Lei's third uncle, Qi Guodong, and it is also a small courtyard of the bungalow.

When the brothers entered the courtyard, the third uncle was not at home, and Grandma Qi was watering the flowers.

Seeing the three children coming in with a large package, they were still curious, "What is it?" ”

The three of them were not in a hurry to say, they opened their mouths to ask for food.

I nibbled on two buns in the morning, and I had already put my heart on my back.

Grandma Qi was just a boy who went crazy for a day, and it happened that the old couple had just finished eating, so they hurriedly went to the kitchen to heat up the meal, and added another dish.

Grandpa Qi Lei was listening to the radio in the house, and when he knew that it was Qi Lei, he paced out with his hands behind his back.

With an arrogant face, the cloak just forced to ask: "Why didn't you come yesterday?" Didn't you finish the exam the day before yesterday? ”

Qi Haiting only had Qi Guojun at the age of thirty, and Qi Guojun only had Qi Lei at the age of thirty, so don't look at Qi Lei at the age of sixteen, but the old man is over seventy.

After more than ten years of retirement, he is becoming more and more like an old child, and it is not okay if things don't go well at all.

Especially when his grandson came to see him a day later, he was even more unhappy.

Of course, there is another reason that Qi Haiting has married three wives before and after and gave birth to eleven children, but the relationship with him, the father, is very tense.

In addition to the youngest Qi Guodong by his side, even the eldest son Qi Guojun has some complaints about this father.

Therefore, the old man gets older and lonelier, and he prefers Qi Lei even more, and he will be upset if he doesn't see him for a few days.

Regarding the old man's anger, Qi Lei naturally had to coax him well. It's been less than two months since the operation, and he's the biggest in the family!

It's hard to coax and be happy, and that's when the business comes out.

He said that the three of them wanted to do something big in the summer vacation, and they wanted to go to the night market to sell their stalls, and they didn't want their families to know about it for the time being, so they let the old man keep it secret.

When Grandpa Qi heard this, he snapped his thigh, "Okay!" Grandpa has your back! ”

"What's wrong with studying badly? If you don't study well, you can still be productive. That's how old men should be! It's called responsibility! ”

Brother Qi Jian thumbed, "This old revolutionary, consciousness is high!" ”

When Grandpa Qi heard this, he was proud, "That's it!" I want to ..... back then"

Let's start talking about what happened to him back then.

The so-called next-generation relatives are like this, not to mention selling socks, even if the grandson sells him, the old man is willing.

Look at the grandson, how to look at how good.

"Good thing! Ye firmly supports. Is there enough money? Will you give you some more? ”

Qi Lei hurriedly shook his head, "No! Enough, we have the New Year's money. ”

"Good!" The old man was even happier when he heard this, pointing at Qi Lei and glaring at him, "My eldest grandson must be better than his father!" ”

If Qi Guojun can be angry here, I will be aggrieved enough, and you are still a father?

After eating at my grandfather's house, my brother stayed for a while, chatting with the old man and the old lady for a while, but I didn't see Qi Lei's third uncle come back, and I didn't go home until eight o'clock.

For the three children who haven't seen anyone for a day, parents have long been used to it.

In this era, children are free-range, especially during winter and summer vacations, and they start to be anxious when they can't catch a shadow for a few days.

When I came back and asked, I was even more relieved about the dinner at the old man's.

Guo Lihua and Qi Guojun didn't ask where they were during the day, and when they saw Qi Lei paralyzed on the bed, they asked them to wash their faces before going to sleep, so they went back to the house to watch the TV series.

It's just that after a while, Guo Lihua went out and went to Tang Yi's house to watch a TV series, and spent the night at Tang's house.

And Wu Lianshan and Tang Chenggang came to Qi Lei's house, three old men in their forties, one holding a bottle of Harbin beer, chatting, and guarding the central five sets.

Only then did Qi Lei remember that it was the World Cup in France.

It's just that the three old men are destined to be disappointed. Whether it is the Netherlands that Dad Wu likes, or the Italy that Dad Qi and Dad Tang believe in, they will sink into the sand.

Because of the victory... Belongs to France, belongs to Zizo.

Tang Yi and Wu Ning also collapsed on the bed as soon as they got home.

It's just that neither of them can sleep.

It was a tiring and tiring day, but it was also magical, a feat for sixteen years old.

Tang Yi was even thinking, if Old Tang knew about his brother's feat today, would he have to dig out another thousand oceans?

Wu Xiaobei pondered how to spend the money he earned, and after buying his Walkman, he would not be able to change his sneakers again.

Well, even if you have sneakers, it's more reliable to get a brand-name casual wear that pulls the style. I'm in high school, and there must be a lot of beautiful new classmates.

The next day, the brothers all slept until noon, and in the afternoon, they were listless, as if they hadn't woken up.

There are few words, and even Italy defeated Norway last night and advanced to the quarterfinals.

In fact, no one of them was looking, and their minds were all on tonight.

Socks have to be sold!

Thinking that they were going to see Zhenzhang tonight, Tang Yi and Wu Ning were a little stunned.

After all, he is only sixteen, and he is the age of the eldest and my second child, and he is not the reborn two-skinned face of Qi Lei, so he can't be calm and calm.

In this regard, Qi Lei did it with just one sentence.

Holding the guitar, he looked at the two of them with a playful expression, "Or... The two of you admit defeat directly, and there is no shame in kissing one. ”

"Grandma!" Tang Xiaoyi blew up directly, "You're not ashamed!" Shame on you! ”

Wu Xiaobei made up the picture of hugging Tang Yi in front of the whole class, and couldn't help but shudder, with a cry: "Brother will have to mix in the second middle school in the future!" ”

The focus shifted from the stall to the gambling contract.

At about half past four, Qi Lei gave an order, and the brothers slaughtered the night market with high spirits.

It's just that before leaving, Tang Xiaoyi and Wu Xiaobei went home together.

When they came out, both of them wore baseball caps, took out the big sunglasses of Dad Tang and Dad Wu, and put on a high-necked jacket, which was tightly covered.

Tang Yi let out a long sigh, "It's much more practical!" ”

Qi Lei was also speechless, it would be dark after a while, wearing big sunglasses, do you see the ghost? Besides, in the summer, you are not afraid of covering the prickly heat?

I didn't bother to pay attention to them, three people and one bicycle each, and the equipment on the back seat rack was out of the stall. (Tang Yi took out a white sheet and a few fruit boxes from home.) ）

First go to Grandpa Qi Lei's socks and pick them up, and go straight to the night market.

...

Unlike the night markets in later generations, which were mainly based on snacks and delicacies, in the 90s, morning and night markets were also the main places for the circulation of daily necessities in northern towns and cities, and played a vital role in life.

For the north, which is always half a beat slower than the south, supermarket stores are still a novelty. In this era, you have to go to the grain and oil store to buy rice and noodles, you have to go to the market and morning market to buy meat and vegetables, and the first choice for buying some daily necessities is the night market.

Only when you are shopping more formally, or when you need expensive goods, you go to the mall to spend.

Visiting the night market is also one of the most frequent leisure activities for city residents in summer.

So, in addition to not selling houses, not selling refrigerators and color TVs, you can find any goods you need here.

Shangbei Night Market is in the southern section of Wenhua Road, from the intersection of Sandao Street to the east gate of the textile factory.

As soon as it is past the end of the day, both sides of the road will be filled with vendors, which is a spectacular sight.

It was already past five o'clock when they arrived at the night market, and some vendors also began to push carts and carts into the market.

In this regard, Qi Lei did not compete with the adults for the best stall positions, but found a relatively good position with not many people.

Pick up two bricks on the side of the road, separate a spot, and count it as your own.

There are no fixed stalls in the night market, just see who comes early and occupies it early.

In addition to the section that has just entered the night market, there is also a good business position in the middle section, and there are few disputes in other places because of grabbing a place, after all, the place is big.

Under normal circumstances, after a while, there will be joint law enforcement (the predecessor of chengguan) to collect booth fees, 5 yuan per family.

You'll be given a number to prove that the place is yours tonight, so there's no conflict.

And since they entered the night market, Tang Yi and Wu Ning have become quails again, timid, and can't let go at all. I only know that I am following behind Qi Lei, and I don't even have to talk much.

Qi Lei doesn't care, everything is difficult at the beginning, and it takes a process.

If he hadn't been reborn with a two-skinned face, maybe he would not have been as good as the two of them!

Spread the cardboard on the ground, and then spread a layer of white cloth on top of it, and you can put the goods on it.

Tang Yi and Wu Ning finally found a chance to start, the two of them held the collar of their coats with one hand, stood high, and took it out of the sock bag with the other hand, and Qi Lei was alone in front of him.

Halfway through, Tang Xiaoyi finally couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere, and leaned into Qi Lei's ear, "Brother Shi, why don't we go back?" That's it! ”

Qi Lei raised his eyebrows, "Considered admitting defeat?" ”

Tang Yi nodded, "Admit defeat!" Brother invites you to a summer vacation charter night, okay? ”

Qi Lei didn't do it, and said with a wicked smile: "No, hug and kiss." ”

Tang Yi was speechless, "Think about it, what about a summer vacation night!" ”

"No! Just hug and kiss. ”

"Day you!" Tang Xiaoyi was defeated, and his teeth were about to be crushed, "You wait!" ”

I had to go back and continue to dig out my socks like a thief.

Yes, be a thief!

For children of this age, going out to earn clean money is tantamount to being a thief.

The self-esteem that has nowhere to be placed, and the apprehension of leaving the protection of adults for the first time, are on your heart.

The hands and feet are numb, and the lips are wooden, if there was no gambling contract there, Tang Xiaoyi and Wu Xiaobei would have fled in the wilderness.

After a while, vendors came to the left and right.

Coincidentally, the one on the left is also a lady who sells socks, but she is a professional.

It's the kind of two-wheeled flatbed car, one and a half meters long, the top is flat, and there are small compartments for placing goods. There are also simple small shelves on the tablet, which can also hang goods.

In addition to socks, there are other small goods, which are very convenient to pull along the street to sell, or stop to use as a stall.

Tang Yi looked at it, and couldn't help grinning and complaining to Wu Xiaobei, "People are returning to the army, we are the eighth road!" ”

Let him say this, Wu Ning is even more shameless.
