"Hello? Ying'er! It's Mom! Early on Sunday morning, Dong Huifang called to ask about Yangyang's body.

"Oh Mom! Yes...... How? Gui Ying lifted the quilt and was half conscious.

"What's wrong with Yang'er? I heard from afar that the child had a fever, which was quite serious. ”

"It's okay today, I saw it when I coaxed her to sleep last night, and coughed occasionally."

"Oh! Where's the boy? I've been missing him for the past two days. ”

"He went to Hong Kong today, went with his classmates, and went out at 6 o'clock in the morning."

"That's right. Na...... Far away? He said he's busy, let me call you, what is he busy with? Dong Huifang inquired about her son's current situation.

"Uh...... Let's work! Do you want to follow Yangyang video? I called her over! Ripple! Ripple! Grandma called you! Gui Ying craned her neck and shouted out the door.

Not long after, a child in a red sportswear with a ragdoll rabbit in his arms pushed open the door and ran in, with a lollipop in his mouth and a pinch of garlic pigtails on his head. The child happily climbs into bed and appears in front of the camera with precision. The grandfather and grandson chatted, and Gui Ying flashed aside with a video call, but she couldn't help but feel disgusted in her heart.

Dong Huifang hung up the phone after chatting with her granddaughter, and somehow noticed that he was hiding between the two of them, and they didn't want to say anything, so she didn't ask much. After all, it's far away, and you can't manage it, so it's useless to ask more.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Xiaotang was taking online classes when suddenly Dingdong Dingdong's mobile phone rang. When I opened it, I saw that there was a message from all staff in the WeChat group of the self-examination counseling center, and the teacher informed everyone that they could apply for the self-examination subjects in December on the spot today. After checking the news, Xiaotang turned around and looked at the learning that was playing Lego, and was a little hesitant.

Today is Sunday, the on-site registration time is only three days, if you don't go today, you need to ask for leave tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, but the work has been busy recently, and the project in Hainan is overtime and busy, not to mention taking half a day off, she doesn't want to fall behind as a newcomer. As a last resort, Xiaotang called his sister to explain the situation, and then left at ten o'clock to send Xuecheng to the shop in the agricultural market, and then went to the specified place to apply for the exam on the spot and print the admission ticket.

After Zhong Li got up at half past twelve, he heard movement in the house, and he couldn't find anyone for a while. When I was sitting downstairs drinking tea, I finally heard Xuecheng playing upstairs, so I went upstairs to see.

"Didn't you hear Dad just call you?" Chung Lee kicked open the door and peeked in, and finally found his son playing with Lego on the floor of the bathroom.

Xuecheng, who was fascinated by the fun, quickly got up and stepped out of the bathroom, he knew that his father didn't like him to stay in the bathroom, and he was afraid that his father would throw away or step on the toys given to him by his brother.

"Ask you! Dumb? Zhong Li walked up to the front and trained.

"Hmm."

"No more playing in the toilet! Get rid of all this stuff! Zhong Li reached into the bathroom with one leg and kicked a pile of parts on the ground with his foot.

"Hmm."

Xuecheng squatted down and hurriedly guarded the parts, but he was afraid that he would not be able to fight without a car. After the father left, the hungry child took out the bread that his aunt had brought him, and after eating, he continued to build Lego. Looking around the cramped room, no matter where it is better than the bathroom, the bathroom is clean, airtight, with windows, the safest, the size is just enough for oneself. Xuecheng was afraid of being caught by his father again, so he left his toys alone and started his homework first. After Dad left the shop at 3 p.m., he went into the bathroom and started playing Lego again, fighting for an hour and a half.

Tsai Tsai is having a good day. After he and his junior high school classmates decided to go to Hong Kong to play last week, it took three or four days of talk last week to persuade Gu Shuyu to go to Hong Kong with him. The seven of them took the subway together in high spirits and left. After arriving in Hong Kong, the teenager played the role of a gentleman everywhere - buying drinks, inviting meals, buying gifts, helping backpacks, carrying hats...... provoked several other boys to envy and ridicule all the way. After returning to Shenzhen in the evening, he emphasized color and light friends, said goodbye to his classmates, and sent Gu Shuyu home alone with a large bag and a small bag. The girl was happy and complacent, she never thought that He Yiming would be so delicate and thoughtful.

Who would have guessed that Tsai's thoughtful behavior was all due to a mother's laziness. From the age of four or five to the third year of junior high school, Tsai Tsai was used to being called by his mother, and was even called to an unconscious situation. Go out to help your mother get a hat, carry a water cup, carry things, bring a parasol, and run errands at home seven times a day - "get a lotion for mom", "help mom throw away the mask", "go take out the garbage", "help mom hang up the coat", "help buy some low-sodium salt", "find a mobile phone cable", "bring the pad to mom...... If it weren't for the intervention of Tsai Tsai's high school entrance examination and Zhiyuan, Gui Ying's inherited bad disease would be so easy to change.

December 4th, Wednesday. In the afternoon, a client company held a 10th anniversary celebration party, which was attended by Ma Guiying and Long Shisheng on behalf of Li Yubing and Mr. Li. The anniversary celebration was set in a five-star hotel in Nanshan District, Ma Guiying put on a skirt and put on heavy makeup, and after arriving at the hotel lobby, she greeted the director of the other party and went to find the designated seat of Nan'an Media. While chatting with the people on the left and right, Manager Ma actually saw that Wang Fuyi, who was in a suit and leather shoes, was also in the crowd - chatting, laughing and clinking glasses, patting shoulders and backs, and shaking hands cordially...... Wang Fuyi, who had rarely paid attention to such a personable person on formal occasions before, was a little embarrassed to catch a glimpse of a woman at this moment. Seeing Wang Fuyi talking and laughing in the crowd, Manager Ma was not easy to disturb, so he took a plate and went to the dining area in the corner to make snacks and desserts.

All kinds of fruits, juices, wine, and refreshments filled the table more than ten meters long, Gui Ying played a full plate, and when she came to the end, she saw a large basket of cherries - red, watery, with green leaves, and shining, and the woman regretted that her plate was full. So he looked left and right, and when he saw that no one was staring, he greedily ate cherries. Unfortunately, at this time, Wang Fuyi came from behind with a red face and wine, obviously standing next to Gui Ying's left shoulder, but patted Gui Ying's right shoulder.

"Huh?" Gui Ying's hair was arranged to the left and right, and the fragrance emanating from her hair fascinated the drunken man.

"Are you drunk?" Gui Ying took a step back and dodged away, pointing at Wang Fuyi, who was smiling or smiling.

"No! I'm a big drinker! The man smiled warmly.

"Why are you here too?" After Gui Ying finished speaking, she pinched three more cherries and put them in her mouth.

"Of course I was invited! Why don't I do it—eat it? Fu Yi pointed to Gui Ying's bulging cheeks and laughed at her.

"What the hell does that company do? It's all you! Gui Ying said and saw that no one came to pick up the cherries, so she grabbed five more.

"You think of me as an OEM, I can give them the lowest price, save so much cost, who doesn't come to me? Everyone in this line of work knows everything about it! And I was in Nan'an Media earlier, and I knew them myself. After Wang Fuyi finished speaking, he drank it all, put down the empty wine glass, and picked up another glass of red wine.

"Okay, it's still your physical industry to make money, and it's not good to engage in media and exhibitions." Gui Ying shook her head.

"You are all fooling around with one mouth, I, the worker, the factory, the water and electricity, the models imported from Germany, the tools bought from Japan...... How invested I am! No one can compare to you when it comes to money, and I'm just making a little money. After Wang Fuyi finished speaking, he took another sip, and stared at Gui Ying vigorously after drinking.

Gui Ying only ate cherries with evasive eyes, stuffed two in one bite and said, "Your little camp head is still so domineering, I don't know that I think you are the master!" ”

"Oops...... Sister Ma, tell me about you! Anyway, I'm also the only OEM of their several lines, our façade is small, but we have to hold up our face, don't we? Huh! There are many downstream CEOs in the industry, do you want me to introduce you to a few customers? Fu Yi shook his head and bumped the back of his hand into Gui Ying's elbow.

"Forget it! This time, the Anke Exhibition is like this, I am embarrassed to go out and brag! Let's talk about it after a while, I will definitely contact you before the next meeting, at that time, I can blow a piece of wool into gold! Gui Ying puffed out her cheeks and said while eating.

"Hahaha...... Sister Ma speaks with such humor! Wang Fuyi was stupidly laughed by Gui Ying, and his neck was red with laughter.

"Do you still buy the house in Red Hill? If you want to buy it, I'll buy it right away! Wang Fuyi suddenly raised his head and asked.

"Hey...... Forget it, the house is in our names, and he is not happy, because of the recent discord...... Forget it. Gui Ying shook her head in denial.

"We're working, don't pull your face! Go to Edgar Allan Poe tonight? There's a new dish over there, why don't you try it all together? Wang Fuyi asked Guiying again.

"Ah...... Can't you get enough of a big meal here? And pay for an extra meal at your own expense! Gui Ying was particularly surprised, and her face was puzzled.

"Tell me about you! What is the basic cultivation of a salesman? Did we come out to eat? "Fu Yi flirted.

"Oops, I'm hungry anyway!" After Gui Ying finished speaking, she reached out and picked five or seven cherries, held them in her hands and ate them secretly.

"Bang bang! If you don't go, I'll look for Lao Long (Long Shisheng) at night, and we'll go for a drink! After Wang Fuyi finished speaking, he raised his cup and said "Cheers" to the tip of Gui Ying's nose, and then turned away with a smile.

"Hey, hey, blah, blah! There's a private matter! Gui Ying went up and grabbed Wang Fuyi's suit.

"What's wrong, Sister Ma?" The man looked back and asked in a tugging voice.

"Hey, aren't you single now? Would you like me to introduce you to one? Gui Ying suddenly squeezed her shining eyes.

"What? Are you anxious for me? ”

"Nope! My first sister, thirty-three, is like a flower, not very emotionally smooth, and she is depressed all day long. Do you want to see a picture of her? I kid you not! It looks so charming! I can't even think of a high-end word to describe her! Gui Ying stretched out her mobile phone and flipped through the photo album to find Bao Xiaotang's photo.

"Gotcha! Are you using me as a savior to save a beautiful girl who has lost her emotional footing? Wang Fuyi smirked widely.

"Nope! I'm thinking about a strong combination! Win-win, do you understand? Such a big beauty, who is not moved when she sees it? We are so familiar, I won't lose your old leader! Gui Ying found a full-body photo of Bao Xiaotang and showed it to Fu Yi.

Fu Yi didn't look at it at all, blocked the phone with his hand, and then poked Gui Ying's forehead and said, "Sister Ma, what do you say you are thinking about day by day!" You're a salesman, not a matchmaker, don't do all these funny things every day-ah! I'm busy, you can eat your cherries! If you like it, I'll send you two boxes another day to block your gossip matchmaker's mouth! After speaking, Fu Yi threw up his sleeves and left.

The man's face with his back to Gui Ying should have been so embarrassed and lonely at this time.

It's a pity that there was a good fate, Gui Ying sighed, and went to the table with a plate full of fruit to eat.

December 7th is Saturday, Shenzhen Reading Month activities have not ended, the city library and book city held many activities, Gui Ying took the old man, Yangyang and Xuecheng to participate early in the morning. If it weren't for the two mothers who studied the activity guide in advance the night before, I'm afraid Gui Ying wouldn't have been able to play a few games a day with the children.

After arriving at the book city at 8 o'clock in the morning, Lao Ma accompanied Zhong Xuecheng to participate in the on-site essay contest for primary and secondary school students; Gui Ying took Yangyang to donate books and exchange books, and all the tutoring books that Tsai didn't use were donated, and a few old books at home were exchanged for seven storybooks that other children didn't use. At eleven o'clock, a very famous children's writer held a signing party, and Gui Ying took the old and young to buy two story books, and by the way, they received four villain books for free. At two o'clock in the afternoon, the award ceremony of the essay contest was held, and Xuecheng won a third prize, and Gui Ying took a lot of photos for him when he received the award. At four o'clock, several people rushed to participate in the activities of the little newspaper boy, and after receiving the newspaper, Lao Ma led Yangyang and Gui Ying to sell newspapers in the civic square with their students. Lao Ma's god assist and the rippling little talker, he earned more than 120 yuan as soon as he opened his mouth, and only earned more than 50 yuan when he became shy, and finally the two children donated all the money from the sale of newspapers to the children in the mountainous areas. At seven o'clock, there was a parent-child recitation, Gui Ying led the two children to recite a poem "If Life Deceives You" on the small stage, although this poem was rehearsed several times in the car in advance, but Yang Yang still couldn't read it, and after going on stage, the situation was full of problems, which caused the audience to frequently point at her and laugh.

The time for the self-examination is set for December 21, and Bao Xiaotang applied for three exams this time. Recently, the project in Hainan has been busy working overtime every day, which has seriously squeezed the time to prepare for the self-examination. Considering that time was pressing, she stopped the live broadcast this weekend and focused on reading and doing questions.

He Zhiyuan has been looking for a job, and there was an interview in early December, he was a Chinese teacher at a technical secondary school, and he prepared carefully for a long time, but unfortunately it was unsuccessful. After a loss, continue to search. The chaos has passed, and men are beginning to have a course of policy in finding a job, even if the process is bumpy.

At half past nine on Sunday night, the depressed old Tao took the initiative to ask Zhongli to drink and eat barbecue. After arriving at the barbecue restaurant, I saw an old pottery plaid shirt, a black sports jacket, a pair of ginger shorts, a pair of flip-flops, and the most conspicuous thing was that he was wearing a thick white bandage on his left hand, and he walked a little sideways. It turned out that Lao Tao used too much force when he moved the goods in the previous paragraph, resulting in the broken index finger of his left hand, but fortunately he went to the orthopedic hospital in time, otherwise he would have been disabled for life.

After the two met at the southwest corner of the farmer's market at ten o'clock, Lao Tao led Zhong Li to this newly opened barbecue restaurant. As soon as I entered the store, I found a sign hanging on the north wall - "Every day is a good day", Zhong Liru was poked and stared at for a few seconds, and then found a seat and sat down. Lao Tao ordered good wine and food, and the two chatted.

"I'm drinking anti-inflammatory drugs here, I can't drink liquor today, you drink more yourself!" Lao Tao gestured to Zhong Li.

"How's your injury?" Zhong Li asked, pointing to the bulging white bandage.

"The bones are connected, and I'm afraid I won't be able to use this hand hard in the future. Ay...... The past few months have been in vain, the operation cost more than 20,000 yuan, and now hire people to carry goods for 233 a day, hum! Oh yes! The hired temporary worker originally said that he would be 200 a day, but when he came to him, he sat on the ground and the price started at 300! Lao Tao shook his head angrily.

"You have something to call me!" Zhong Li raised his head and said sincerely.

"Come on! You are a cultural person, and you are so high-minded, you can't do my physical work! You drink and chat with me, and I feel a lot more comfortable. These old brothers can't mix well, and there are few people who can drink and talk. Ay...... Don't talk about that! ”

The two were silent for a while, and after a few dishes were served, Lao Tao took the initiative to find something to say: "I have been recuperating from my injuries for the past few days, and I am paralyzed on the sofa every day to watch the news, and my ears have risen!" There is a news that this year (2019) our country's crude steel output is 980 million tons, do you know how much the world's crude steel production is this year - 1.8 billion tons! China alone accounts for more than half! In other words, more than half of the world's infrastructure is built in China! I don't know if this data is accurate. Anyway, we've been engaged in infrastructure for decades, and we're still doing it, hehe...... After the typhoon in the first half of the year, the railings, pillars, pavement, and flower ponds on the street have all been replaced, and five or six new parks have been opened in Longhua District this year! No wonder netizens say that 'Beijing doesn't brag and Shenzhen doesn't dig roads' is the best time for China's development! Hum! You name it! ”

After Lao Tao finished speaking, he picked up a chopstick pork liver and stuffed it into his mouth, shook his head frequently after eating, and then spoke.

"This year, Britain is always making a fuss about leaving the European Union, and we don't know why the news is talking about major events that have nothing to do with the real life of ordinary people. Oh yes, I think of one that's pretty fun! said that in August this year, Tran asked the Finns how much money they could sell Greenland to the United States, and the Finns said that the land was not for sale, and then a few days later, *** announced that he would not visit Finland! That old man is really a bar, he may think that the United States is the earth, and the earth is the United States! There's no way, who made him the best! Let's think about it, the United States has been ahead for one or two hundred years, how many achievements have been developed in those one or two centuries, science and technology, energy, talents, and weapons can all work, what can you do with him? I see, for a while, it will be difficult for us to catch up with and surpass the United States. Didn't you say that Taoguang is obscure? Now in the trade war, the front foot has lost a ZTE, and now Huawei is planted again! Hey Zhongli, are you embarrassed about ZTE? The reputation is actually a soft persimmon, and it is not as good as the warm wine to kill Huaxiong Huaxiong twice! After Lao Tao finished speaking, he let out a long sigh.

"Greenland is Danish." Zhong Li lowered his eyelids and whispered.

"Yes, yes, Danish. Let me tell you, this country has caught up with the momentum and developed quickly, and the bad luck has also declined quickly. According to the news, China exports second-hand cars abroad, and a total of four countries are exported, one of which is Russia! You think and think. What are the other three countries, Cambodia, Myanmar, or something, you see how seriously Russia has regressed! How awesome the Soviet Union was during the Cold War, and now it has fallen to such a point, I heard that those Russian soldiers openly robbed - specifically robbed the Chinese! Russia is declining rapidly, the United States does not take it seriously at all, and the old Ben of World War II has long been eaten! What about Europe? In the differentiation, the development has slowed down. As for the United States, it has been going upwards and has been very arrogant. You see, development is not necessarily a straight line, and there is a limit to China's ability to build infrastructure. ”

Picking up a disposable plastic cup and taking a big sip of Harbin beer, Lao Tao continued: "People in the market said that after the trade war, we can't import soybeans from the United States, and I don't know if the trade war will have an impact on our small business, which makes me scared." The life of the people at the bottom is not easy, and the slightest wind and grass is either the foundation is gone, or the prospect is yellow. It's still the ancestors who don't deceive people - the people are suffering, and the people are suffering. In recent years, the economy has developed rapidly, and the taxes and fees are so high that foreigners who come to China also complain! We're used to it, we're numb! A few years ago, I got 20,000 or 30,000 yuan a month, and now it is difficult to make a profit of 15,000 a month. Earn less, spend more! Wan'er (Tao Wan'er, Lao Tao's daughter) They organized the National Day to go to the red tourist area a while before the third year of high school, and they had to charge 5,000 yuan for three days back and forth. Students, you, let our girls not go - inappropriate! Hey......" Lao Tao finished speaking, grabbed a string of mutton skewers and nibbled on them.

Zhong Li lowered his head and silently peeled peanuts. The tender peanuts just on the new autumn are boiled into spiced by the store, and Zhong Li peels them one by one and peels them for the old pottery on the opposite side to eat.

"I heard about one thing some time ago, from Shenzhen. A vocational college student in Shenzhen goes to Hong Kong every week to transport drugs. After swallowing 47 drugs after 100, he was directly sentenced to seven years in prison! That's still a minor! Same age as my Tao Yu (old Tao's son). TV interviewed why, the young man said that it was useless to study, that the school he studied in was the worst school, he was the worst student in the worst school, and he couldn't make money after graduation, so it was better to make a lot of money by transporting drugs than to be discriminated against by society and not being able to live! Hmph...... Tell me...... For this, I am always worried that Tao Yu will learn badly, and he has never been short of money, and the living expenses of 2,000 yuan per month are not less! Ah...... I used to think it was not bad to send Tao Yu to a technical school to learn a skill, but now I ...... Hum! The technology is so developed, robots are much more capable than humans, and the only jobs that robots can't do are our jobs - moving goods, killing fish, cutting mutton, selling vegetables, and weighing beans. In the future, Tao Yu will do this, so I won't work in vain. ”

"Not really. Tao Yu has the ability, and other children are smart! Don't compare him with us, individuals have their own destiny, we were all farmers before, who would have thought that we would be mixed in Shenzhen for a lifetime. After Zhong Li finished speaking, he pushed a small plate of peeled tender peanuts in front of Lao Tao.

Lao Tao was not polite, picked up the peanuts and said while eating: "In the past two days, there has been another accident in the Northeast, and I have been watching the news every day recently, and there have been accidents almost every day - explosions in the park, collapse of mines, vaccine problems, landslides, bridge collapses, cybercrimes, biochemical leaks, financial crimes...... It's a fuss! It's been a lot of trouble in the past few years! Recently, there have been bad debts of local governments, saying that the bad debts at the county and city levels are at the level of 10 billion, and the bad debts of provincial units are hundreds of billions or trillions at every turn. also let us pay the pension, the pension in many places has already been lost! Some provinces are no longer able to pay pensions! ”

After Lao Tao finished speaking, he drank another glass, and then said: "I know something, Lao Qiang talked about it two days ago, and he was very happy. In 2008, the senior county officials of Wenchuan County had no time to take care of his mother, and his mother had nothing to do to pick up garbage on the street for money. Tell me, how ironic it is. There is also an even more ironic thing, saying that there was an accident in a county, and the reporter was discovered by the county leader when he was filming with a drone, but the county leader directly knocked out the drone, and surrounded a group of reporters with good food and drink, and did not let them shoot. And voila! Whoever finds the problem solves the problem, it has always been a common practice. ”

Zhong Li ate a few bites in a daze, he Lao Tao had nothing to say, he was used to it, but he loved to listen to Lao Tao's nonsense, and Lao Tao was also happy to have an audience like him listening to his nonsense every day.

"All kinds of news are shown to the people on TV every day, you say...... What's the point of us paying attention to this all day long? It's useless to tell me, it's just a seasoning on the dinner table. Our life is already like this, and it is not savable to change our lives against the sky, how many people at the bottom have turned over? It's a few shouts about national events, it seems that we still have some knowledge, right? Oops...... At this age, don't talk about yourself on any topic! ”

"Come, come, come! Drink! Zhong Li stretched out his wine glass and touched Lao Tao.

"Five G is going to be charged, the Long March 5 is in the sky, artificial intelligence is at home, cloud technology is popularizing, and blockchain is breaking through...... Science and technology are developing so fast, those who have the ability to keep up are the beneficiaries, and those like us who can't keep up are the victims of the development of science and technology. Ay...... You're the smartest guy I've ever met, and I always want you to do something big, not like me. ”

There was silence.

"A few days ago, my Wan'er phone was broken, and she didn't say what she wanted, only how good her classmate's Apple phone was. I want to buy her a red rice, six or seven hundred is still good-looking, I heard her say that the Apple phone chuckled in my heart, one six or seven hundred, one six or seven thousand! I used to be able to afford it, but now I ...... Oops hey! Thanks to my sensible Wan'er, I picked more than 700 of them. I'm just looking forward to her getting into a good university this time, and their classmates have been choosing a university recently! Eh, you know what? Now many schools are moving to Shenzhen, I don't know which one I can catch up with. ”

"Wan'er is better than Meimei, she will definitely be able to get into a first-class university, no matter how bad it is!" Zhong Li said with a smile.

"I can't compare with you Meimei! You Meimei has a temperament, a ruthless and hard-working force! My Wan'er's soft and weak body has always been bad, sensible is sensible, and her temperament is a bit casual, not very strong. Tell you, I have been looking forward to her marrying a rich man in the future and not being poor for the rest of her life, hahaha...... I don't know if rich people can look down on our in-laws! Hahahaha...... "Old Tao laughed happily.

"Some time ago, I bought a reference book, it cost four hundred and three, what book did I say is so expensive, Wan'er showed me the group news of their class, it's really this price! Four books and four hundred and three! Oh my God, who made up this reference book? The third year of high school is not better than the first and second years of high school, and there are many doorways in it. Wan'er is in the key class, and they also have a rocket class in the third year of high school, and the rocket class also has two additional weekend classes - one is free, especially for students who have the ability to go to Peking University and Tsinghua University; The other one is charged, a four-day class in a month, guess how much? Eight thousand dollars! One month! It's 50,000 yuan in a semester! Lao Tao grinned and his eyes widened.

After a few sighs, he continued: "I asked Wanwan if I wanted to go on, she said she didn't want to, I said why, she said she was tired and couldn't stand it." Poor this child, his body is sick at every turn, this is good, and he will save me a lot of money if he is not in good health. When she was young, I was worried about the degree every day, and now I finally have to provide for the third year of high school, and I have to worry about all kinds of miscellaneous money. After so many years in Shenzhen, I found that the most expensive and expensive commodity is not a house, but education! The resources of poor schools are 108,000 miles away from good schools, and I never thought about the top high schools in Shenzhen, we still have self-knowledge. Eh, did you spend so much money on Meimei in her junior year of high school? Lao Tao suddenly patted Zhong Li's arm and asked.

"Not much. Probably, she didn't tell me. Ay...... Mei Mei went to college...... It's been months and I've only called once. She doesn't like to talk to me right now. Zhong Li slurred, his face full of loss.

"Huh! That's purely your question - you know? You beat her mother up a lot last time, who in the market doesn't know? You haven't done anything at home for the past two years, and other people's children know it. Don't blame the child, reflect on yourself, what the old brother said is all the truth, you don't like to listen to it. You're high-spirited and young, it's too late to start again, don't hang around like this. Lao Tao's eyebrows were compact, and he was really worried about Zhong.

"Just in time? Do? Zhong Li asked with wide eyes.

"What for! You don't sell whole grains, you can do tobacco and alcohol business! Lao Tao came up with an idea for Zhong Li.

"You have to be licensed to sell tobacco! Liquor ...... Forget it. Those who sell wine in the market are cheaper than white vinegar, and what about the expensive ones...... Tell me who comes to the farmer's market to buy good wine? ”

"Na...... Tobacco and alcohol are not good, what about Chinese herbal medicines? I see that the people selling medicinal herbs in the back alleys are not bad! After Lao Tao finished speaking, he pointed to the alley where medicinal herbs were sold in the market.

"You can't make money at a cheap price, but what about the expensive ones - angelica, Ganoderma lucidum, saffron, cordyceps, bezoar, wild ginseng? People come to buy these things to find acquaintances and trustworthy, and you will only figure out the authenticity of medicinal materials when you have just opened a store, and you can't return to your roots for a year and a half. Besides, how deep is the water in this industry? Sometimes you don't know if you have a problem with the purchase, who knows what medicine and fertilizer he feeds with Cordyceps, can I afford to pay for it if I really eat it badly? Zhong Li spoke loudly.

"Yes, yes, yes! You're right. You can't look down on melon seed candy, you can't make a lot of money with vermicelli fungus, and you can't do it with flowers, so what about spices? I can contact you with the source of goods, and put some cloves, cinnamon, star anise, and tangerine peel at the door of your shop, maybe someone will see it and want to take the goods. ”

"The person who takes the goods is not stupid, I can't give the lowest price for reselling, and I can't make much money, so why bother?" Zhong Li's face was thorough, and his hands were spread out.

"Then you can't be so idle all the time!"

"I'm thinking about it too. I was the first to come to the farmer's market, and I have been here for more than 20 years, and I don't know why I stayed here for more than 20 years. After Zhong Li finished speaking, he lowered his head again, and lowered it deeply.

"If you don't have your daughter-in-law and your father, what should you do, what kind of complex are you doing! The more literate and intelligent people are, the more they think, and the more they think, the less helpful they are. That's why I like your family Meimei very much, she is a man of action at a young age, she does whatever she says, and she thinks less. ”

Zhong Li praised Meimei, smiled knowingly, and bowed his head silently.

"Hey! The last row of grain and oil sellers in Nantou - Lao Chen, depressed! Quite serious. I used to think that depression was low and unhappy, good guy, I heard that Lao Chen was depressed and crazy, weird, a little scary to look at. Tsk...... Pathetic. You know why not? His wife got involved with a man who sold beef in the Eastern District, and Lao Chen was so angry! Tell me about it. Lao Tao stepped forward and whispered.

"Humph!" Jong-ri shook his head and smiled, thinking of himself and Hyosung, and was silent.

"Hey, everyone has rumored that the two of you are divorced, have you left? What do you think? After Lao Tao lit a cigarette, he tilted his head and asked.

"What's the difference between being inseparable? At this age, the child is also older, anyway, I am like this...... I can't even feed myself...... She hasn't talked much over the years, she lives there at every turn, and I don't talk much, I can't control my old hands, it's better to separate. In fact...... You can also see that I'm used to being cold with her, and I'm used to separating from her, and I'm just messing around like this......"

Suddenly, Zhong Li stopped talking, and the air froze for a long time.

"Boom, don't talk about it. If you want my brother to talk about it, first, you have to control the amount of alcohol, second, don't do it, and third, find something to do, these three things solve the problem that Hyosung will not get divorced, at least for the sake of the children. Families in which men and women are reunited are rarely happy. Wan'er and I have never mentioned divorce since I had a quarrel and fight, so I stumbled like this, and sometimes there is nothing bad about thinking about it, at least the two children were raised like this. After Lao Tao finished speaking, he exhaled a puff of smoke.

Touching a glass of wine, Lao Tao continued.

On this night, the two old men drank until one o'clock in the morning. After the end of the show, Zhong Li walked around the area with his hands in his pockets as usual. The body has a memory, and it gets brisk after midnight. To some extent, walking at night has become the only pastime for him and Lao Tao to drink.

A cool breeze blows through the trouser legs, the toe seams are air-dried, and the whole body is light and cool. On the moontop, someone is singing a Tibetan tune or Nordic folk song, and the song is blown away by the night wind, into the dreams of lovers, and into the hearts of lonely people. The shadows of the trees are swaying, the fallen leaves are rolling, and the city is bathed in coolness, as if standing under the waves and above the deep sea. There was an indescribable beauty surging in the dark coolness, and Zhong Li suddenly thought of a poem.
