Chapter 33: The Night Road is Deep
The market closes early, and in order not to waste these fresh fruits, Mansheng's mother will push the old hawking car every day, go to the fixed alley to set up more stalls, and then close the stalls at almost ten o'clock to go home.
Gu Mansheng came to help her mother with business whenever she was free, and the old customers also knew her, and sometimes she could chat a sentence or two.
Walnut Street is allowed to set up stalls, the geographical location is also very good, turn left from the street is the lights and wine, the flow of people is very large Fujing Road, turn right at the end of the street, and then go straight for a thousand meters is the peaceful residential area, there are many small shops on Walnut Street, haircuts, nail art, tattoos, mobile phone films...... It's a place where young people like to get together.
The night was getting deeper, the stars were fainting overhead, the dim street lamps at the end of the street lit up the dust in the air, and the ground was filled with hazy ripples. Gu Mansheng took out a handful of small maza from the cabinet of the cart, sat down, and stood for two hours, his calves were really a little strained.
She gently pinched her calf, still holding the white thermos cup in her arms, and in another half an hour, a large number of overtime workers would pour out of the tall office building. She had to save the last sip of water and cheer up the last customers.
I once heard the analogy that the more prosperous the city, the more like a cold steel forest, and if you want to maintain its growth, you must absorb every effort of everyone in the city as nourishment.
So, the people who carnival every night on Fujing Road, 700 meters away, spend a lot of money just to smile at the Pomeranians, don't use it as urban nourishment?
Probably to speed up the circulation of money.
This spirit of selfless dedication is incomprehensible to Gu Mansheng, who is looking forward to being buried alive by money every day.
"Man Sheng, I'm here to help your mother set up a stall again." An old woman with a plump body and a ruddy face stopped in front of the cart, with her fashionable curly hair and a small white pearl bag on her elbow, smiled kindly, then lowered her eyes, picked a pear, put it in her hand, and praised, "Today's pear is really good, big and fresh." ”
"Grandma Li, you're here." Gu Mansheng hurriedly stood up, took out a clean black plastic bag, and followed her words, the smile on her face was innocent and simple, "Don't say anything else, our pears, a bite can be sweet to the heart, even if you choose, you don't charge money if it's not sweet!" ”
"The girl is not very old, but she has learned your mother's business thoroughly!" Li Yunhui nodded her forehead lovingly, picked out three or four pears and a bunch of bananas, "That's all, I can't eat too much at home alone, I'll buy it in a few days." ”
This is not an excuse, she lives in a nearby community, her wife died early, she will live alone for half her life, her son and daughter are working abroad after graduation, and she always wants to take her out to live. But this person who has eaten rice all his life, where is he used to eating fast food and steak, instead of going abroad to be a deaf and dumb person, it is better to be at home with a group of old men and old ladies rubbing mahjong at ease.
"Great!" Hearing this, Gu Mansheng gently put the fruit on the electronic scale and said, "A total of thirty-five, I'll help you get two bags, this banana is a little ripe, don't let the pear be damaged." ”
"Okay." Li Yunhui took the two bags of fruit in her hand, took out her mobile phone from the bag, scanned the WeChat payment code, and said with a smile, "People don't need cash now, it's hard for my old woman to run behind the trendy ass at her age." ”
"Mobile payment is more convenient!" Gu Mansheng grabbed a handful of hair and smiled embarrassedly, "Grandma Li, you go home and pay attention to safety." ”
"Girl, you should also close the stall early, there are many unserious people in this area, don't let the family worry about it." Li Yunhui sighed and admonished uneasily.
She is sociable, often frequents Mansheng's mother's fruit stall, and knows a little about her family's situation, Mansheng is a good and filial child, but who can complain about life......
I don't know the suffering, I don't believe in gods and Buddhas, I know the suffering, and I forbear and do good.
These sixteen characters are imbued with the laws of the world, and to be enlightened is a lifetime.
"I'll pack up and go back." Gu Mansheng promised in her mouth, but in fact, she only adjusted the position of the fruit, and the old man's back was staring at a warm light in her eyes.
Children from poor families should be sensible and in charge.
