When the waiter saw it, Shui Yao actually pulled people in, and quickly shook his head and stepped forward to stop him.

"This girl, you can bring someone in, I have seen this kid several times. Standing at the door of our store at noon every day, I didn't leave, and I didn't see an adult come to pick it up, I guess this is also a homeless child, no one wants it! ”

"When you look at him, he looks very unlucky. You're bringing people to the store now, isn't that affecting the store's business? ”

Looking at this little boy with yellow muscles and thin muscles, Shui Yao couldn't bear it, so he waved his hand to interrupt the waiter's words.

"Master, I appreciate your kindness, but this kid looks really pitiful. In this case, you can bring me another bowl of green vegetable noodles, and bring another bottle of this Arctic Ocean soda to this child, and as for the meal, I will pay for it! ”

As soon as the waiter heard that Shui Yao had even paid for the meal, he didn't say anything about driving the child out, but just stretched out his hand to Shui Yao, and then compared the number "six".

"Girl, then settle this account first! We have a bowl of green vegetable noodles here for two cents plus two taels of food stamps, and a bottle of soda for one dime. It's a total of six cents, plus four taels of food stamps. The bottle can't be taken out, and our store has to recycle it after drinking! ”​

After hearing this, Shui Yao also understood the truth of business, and he didn't intend to repay the debt, so he quickly handed the waiter six cents. Then he led the little boy to his seat and explained it again and again. After making sure that the little boy understood his words, Shui Yao breathed a sigh of relief and planned to leave.

Seeing that Shui Yao was about to leave, the little boy didn't eat anymore, so he immediately put down the chopsticks in his hand, quickly chased after him, and grabbed Shui Yao's clothes.

"Kind sister, thank you for inviting me to eat. My name is Ah Tang, and I will definitely repay you in the future. ”

Shui Yao looked at Ah Tang's determined look, and felt very interesting in his heart: this child is not very old, and he really looks like his younger brother Shui Yun. I guess it's for this reason that I'm willing to help this child!

Therefore, Shui Yao did not take to heart what Ah Tang said about repaying himself in the future. After all, in life, everyone will encounter a lot of difficulties, but she happened to encounter them. Besides, she will only help today because she has some money on her, so she can't talk about being kind or unkind. If she can't even eat, she probably won't have that idle mind.

After going out, seeing that it was still early, Shui Yao decided to see if there was any place nearby where he could do some small business. However, at this time, the state has not yet allowed everyone to do business, doing business is a big crime, it is to cut the tail of capitalism, and if you catch it, you will go to prison, so Shui Yao does not dare to blatantly ask a passer-by to inquire about these problems.

Because even if someone really trades secretly, it has to be done secretly by someone who has avoided inspection. For these things, Shui Yao still saw it in books. However, it is not difficult to find out if there are people who are secretly trading, after all, there may be business where there are people. So, Shui Yao decided to try his luck by walking around first.

But before he could take two steps, Shui Yao was attracted by the voice of a young man beside him: "Hurry, the movie is about to start!" Today's "A River Spring Flows Eastward", what are you waiting for? If you don't go there, you won't be able to buy tickets! ”

As soon as the words fell, several young people around them suddenly ran in one direction as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. Shui Yao looked at it, and his heart suddenly rejoiced: Heh! It's really a pillow when I'm sleepy, and now, maybe there is a door to do business! So he followed the crowd to the cinema.

Running all the way down, Shui Yao felt that half of his life was gone. In order to keep up with that group of people, she even used the strength to breastfeed, and with a bunch of messy things on her body, Shui Yao felt as if her lungs were about to explode. By the time she finally arrived at the door of the theater, her clothes were already soaked.

So he staggered to the side of the road, put the basket on his body on the ground, and began to gasp for air. Looking at the movie posters with a sense of age at the entrance of the "Weiye" cinema in the distance and the people queuing up to buy tickets like a long queue, Shui Yao realized that it was not that there was really no one in this county, but that these people were all rushing over to watch the movie.

"Little girl, do you want an egg? I just cooked it in the afternoon, and it's still hot! ”

After hearing the voice, Shui Yao, who was gasping for breath, chuckled in his heart, and turned his head to find that he was sneaking behind him.

The woman was about thirty years old, with short ear-length hair, and a really good shirt on her body made her look clean and neat. It's just that at this time, the box in the woman's arms attracted Shui Yao's attention.

Seeing that Shui Yao didn't answer, the woman secretly said in her heart: she thought that she could make a few more orders of business this time, but she didn't expect that this little girl didn't want to buy her eggs, so she lowered her head and ignored Shui Yao, planning to leave quickly.

"Wait a minute! Big sister, get me one!! ”

I saw the woman with short ear-length hair pause and turned her head slightly: "Big sister, be quiet, don't be discovered!" Recently, the limelight is tight, and the arrest is being very strong! ”

After speaking, he quickly took out an egg from the box and stuffed it to Shui Yao: "Big sister, a dime!"

Shui Yao looked at it and felt very interesting in his heart: as soon as he came out this time, he met a fellow practitioner. However, the price of this egg is really not cheap, and one of them is enough for her to drink a bottle of Arctic Ocean soda at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Hotel.

Thinking of this, Shui Yao hesitated for a moment, and did not intend to give her the money immediately, but said: "Sister, your eggs are a bit expensive!" Look at me, I'm also a child from a poor family, can it be cheaper? ”

When the water seller saw that she had touched a soft nail this time, she couldn't help but secretly regret the impulse just now: seeing that the eggs had been given to others, but the money had not been received in the end. However, the current inspector has not come, and since he can't give up this benefit, he decided to persuade Shui Yao again and fight for it.

"Big sister, it's just a dime. How expensive is this compared to the black market? ”

As soon as Shui Yao heard the word "black market", he instantly came to his senses: Heh, it turns out that there is really such a place!

So, Shui Yao took out two cents and stuffed it to the eldest sister who sold eggs, and then picked up the bamboo basket and leaned in front of her, and asked in a low voice: "Eldest sister, if it is convenient for you, can you take me to the black market to have a look?" You see, these people have gone in to watch a movie anyway, and you can't sell a few bottles of water. Why don't we take a trip to the black market, and maybe you can sell a few more bucks today! ”

When the eldest sister who sells eggs heard this, she thought about it carefully, and it seemed that it was also such a reason, so she nodded happily: "Cheng!" Since you bought my things, I'll be a favor, and I just happen to be going over there, so you can follow me. ”

Shui Yao was about to thank him, but the eldest sister seemed to have thought of something, and opened her mouth to Shui Yao carefully: "You remember, eldest sister, when you go to the black market later, don't get too close to me, and speak quietly, so as not to arouse the suspicion of others."

Shui Yao looked up at the screening schedule at the door of the cinema and found that there was still some time left before Shui Daquan got off work, so he simply nodded and assured the eldest sister: "Eldest sister, don't worry, I understand the rules."

The eldest sister saw that the thin and weak little girl in front of her was still on the road, so she deliberately brought a belt. So I decided to say a few more words: "Come in with me later." No matter what I say or do, don't make a statement. After you get out, you can't talk about it to anyone. ”

Shui Yao was also a person who had been in the shopping mall for more than ten years in her previous life, and naturally understood the truth that "the family has a family law, and there are rules for the industry", she knows the particularity of this era very well in her heart, and she is a newcomer, and she must not be wrong to observe more and talk less.

So, Shui Yao and this eldest sister came to the black market one after another. The black market is in a small aisle near the county north bus station. After entering, Shui Yao looked at it widely, and it seemed that there was no difference between this place and ordinary alleys. But after a closer look, she realized that there were only so many people walking back and forth in it.

These people are dressed plainly, carrying backpacks on their backs, looking sneaky, for fear of being discovered by the people next to them, and they don't talk to people, and they seem to be quite cautious. Seeing this, Shui Yao concluded that these were the people who traded on the black market.

At this time, Shui Yao noticed that the eldest sister who brought her to the black market seemed to have a goal, and walked straight towards a middle-aged uncle with a basket on his back.

"Brother Li, do you still have fine grain today?"

I saw that the person known as Brother Li did not answer immediately, but stared vigilantly at Shui Yao beside the woman.

"Brother Li, don't worry. This is my distant niece, the first time she has come back, she has never seen the world, and her mouth is very strict. ”​

Listening to the eldest sister's explanation, the expression on the middle-aged uncle's face relaxed: "It's good if it's your own person." However, there is not much fine grain today, only five catties left, do you want it or not? ”

When the eldest sister heard this, she nodded hurriedly, and familiarly took out a big unity stuff from her pocket and gave it to the uncle who sold grain: "Brother Li, this is ten yuan, you take it." There are many children in the family, so many mouths, shouting at me every day that they are hungry, I really can't help it. ”

I saw the uncle sigh a long time, and then neatly took off the back basket and handed the grain that had already been packed to the eldest sister: "Meizi, I won't tell you, the grain has been relatively tight recently, and it is estimated that you will not be able to buy fine grain during this time." However, if you exchange these five catties of grain for coarse grains, you can also exchange them for many catties, which is enough for your family to eat for a while. When I have any more food leftover, we'll talk about the time at another time. ”
