Chapter 65: The Scalpers

Time flies, it's another Friday afternoon, and school is out again.

Zhang Yong got on the train to Beijing with anticipation, and did not tell Li Li that he wanted to surprise Li Li.

Along the way, Zhang Yong couldn't suppress his restless heart, and he came to the gate of Li Li's school with a little excitement, a little apprehension, and a little expectation.

When Zhang Yong came to the gate of Li Li's school, it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening, he dialed Li Li's phone, Li Li just picked up the phone, there was a noisy voice on the other end of the phone, and they asked in unison, "Where are you?" ”

Zhang Yong was stunned for a moment, and then he said with a smile: "I'm at the gate of your school." ”

And Li Li also said: "I am at the gate of your school. ”

Zhang Yong was stunned, he didn't expect Li Li to have the same idea as him, and they both wanted to surprise each other.

Zhang Yong and Li Li said in unison for the third time: "Why did you get to the gate of our school?" When did it arrive? ”

Zhang Yong felt that he and Li Li had a spiritual rhino, but this spiritual rhino was not what he wanted, at this moment Zhang Yong was a little dumbfounded, he came here with great expectations to see Li Li, but he was disappointed, but Zhang Yong was still a little excited in his heart, Li Li actually went to find him.

Zhang Yong said helplessly to Li Li: "You first find a random hotel there to stay, and I will rush back as soon as possible." ”

After Zhang Yong finished speaking, he hung up the phone in a hurry and rushed to the train station at a gallop.

After coming to the train station, I found that there was a long queue at the ticket gate here, and Zhang Yong was anxious at the end of the line.

Minutes and seconds passed, but the team in front of him slowly crawled forward like a snail.

Finally, it was Zhang Yong's turn, and Zhang Yong was about to open his mouth to buy a ticket, when a white-haired old woman came to Zhang Yong's side and whispered: "Young man, please help, I want to catch the train, can you let me buy a ticket first?" ”

Although Zhang Yong was very anxious, he saw the old woman's trembling appearance, and his heart softened for a while, and then he took a step back and said with a smile: "You come first." ”

The gray-haired old woman smiled at Zhang Yong, and then began to buy tickets, because there were too many people at the ticket office, and the old woman spoke in a very small voice, so that Zhang Yong didn't hear where she was going.

After waiting for a full five minutes, Zhang Yong became more and more anxious, and the old woman hadn't finished buying the ticket yet, and Zhang Yong couldn't say anything.

Ten minutes later, the old woman finally finished buying the ticket, she looked at Zhang Yong gratefully, and thanked Zhang Yong. Zhang Yong said goodbye to the old woman, he began to buy tickets, who would have thought that the conductor told him that the tickets to Tianjin were sold out tonight, only waiting for tomorrow, Zhang Yong was distressed, now the train has no tickets, and the car will definitely not leave for a long time after such a late hour, Zhang Yong walked out of the crowd dejectedly.

Zhang Yong looked at the bustling crowd at the train station, he was at a loss and a little overwhelmed.

At this moment, a middle-aged man walked up to Zhang Yong and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with the little brother?" Didn't get a ticket? ”

Zhang Yong nodded and said, "Yes, it's sold out." ”

The middle-aged man smiled and asked, "Little brother, where are you going?" ”

Zhang Yong smiled bitterly and said, "Tianjin." ”

Then the middle-aged man said with a smile: "I have a ticket to Tianjin here, I see that you are in such a hurry, I will give you the ticket, I will not be too late to leave tomorrow." ”

Zhang Yong was overjoyed, his heart was instantly filled with sunshine, and he felt that there were still many good people in this world.

However, the middle-aged man hesitated for a moment and said, "Little brother, you also know that it costs a lot of money to stay in Beijing for one night, and if I transfer the ticket to you, I will spend some more money for one more night." ”

Zhang Yong didn't think too much and hurriedly asked, "What should I do then?" ”

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Little brother, I see that you are also very anxious, the original price of the ticket to Tianjin is fifty yuan, so let's do it, I see that you are destined for me, and I don't want more than I want my accommodation fee, you just give me one hundred yuan, do you think it's okay?" ”

Zhang Yong felt that the middle-aged man had a point, he did have to spend a lot of money to stay in Beijing for one night, and now he was willing to transfer the ticket to himself, and it was understandable that he would ask for more money with himself. After Zhang Yong figured it out, he hurriedly nodded and agreed.

Zhang Yong wanted to see the ticket first, and the middle-aged man said with a smile: "The ticket is still in my mother's hand, I'll take you over to get the ticket, and you will give the money when you get the ticket." ”

Zhang Yong thought to himself: "This person is really a good person, and he will give money when he gets the ticket, so that he doesn't have to worry about deceiving himself." ”

Zhang Yong followed the middle-aged man out of the ticket hall, and the man pointed to an old woman not far in front of him and said, "Look, that's my mother." ”

Zhang Yongyong looked from afar, only felt that the old woman was a little familiar, he didn't think much about it, followed the middle-aged man to the old woman, when he saw the old woman's appearance clearly, he froze, this is the old woman who just cut the line to buy a ticket.

The old woman didn't raise her head and asked lightly, "Where is the ticket?" ”

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Tianjin." ”

Then the old woman took out a large handful of tickets from her arms, then took out one and handed it to Zhang Yong.

Zhang Yong suddenly understood at this time, it turned out that they were actually the so-called scalpers, Zhang Yong did not accept the ticket, and said in a cold voice: "I won't buy it." ”

The old woman raised her head, and only then did she see Zhang Yong's appearance, and then said with a smile: "Young man, don't be like this, I'll give you a cheaper, only I have a ticket at this time, you helped me, then I'll give you a cheaper, eighty to sell to you." ”

Zhang Yong said coldly: "How can you do this? Plugging in my line, buying a large number of tickets, and finally selling them to me at a high price, you are doing this immorally, you are corrupting the market price, you are breaking the law. ”

The old woman's originally smiling face gradually turned cold, and she said lightly: "What I do is my business, why can't I sell the tickets I bought with my ability?" If you think I'm breaking the law, then you can sue me, buy it or not, and don't get in the way of my business. ”

Zhang Yong was really angry with the old woman, he decided that he would not buy tickets or buy tickets from them, he could not let this kind of corrupt social atmosphere happen, he knew that there was no harm if there was no sale.

Zhang Yong turned to leave, he had thought about calling the police, but he felt that such an old woman was arrested by the police, and he would definitely not be able to stand it, but the fact is that it is because of a rotten and good person like him that the scalpers have been banned repeatedly, Zhang Yong obviously did not realize this.

Zhang Yong walked dejectedly on the square of the railway station and watched the people come and go.

Zhang Yong walked aimlessly on the square of the train station, at this moment he felt that this world could be so dark, and he thought of Li Li, who was already in Tianjin, and didn't know what to say to Li Li.

However, at this moment, a tall middle-aged man walked up to Zhang Yong a little obscenely, and asked in a low voice: "Little brother, I saw everything just now, and I heard what you said, the current scalpers are really arrogant." ”

Zhang Yong looked at him with an obscene look, and suddenly looked at him vigilantly, only to see the lewd uncle say with a faint smile: "Don't be nervous, I'm not a liar, I'm not a scalper, I'm just here to talk to you." ”

Zhang Yong still couldn't believe the person in front of him and looked at him coldly.

The lewd uncle smiled bitterly and said, "You still don't believe me, okay, in order to make you believe me, I decided to transfer my train ticket to you, oh, by the way, I'm also going to Tianjin." ”

When Zhang Yong heard this, he didn't believe the man in front of him even more at this moment, Zhang Yong didn't speak, turned around and was about to leave. At this time, the obscene uncle hurriedly said: "Little brother, don't go, I'm not a liar, the transfer I said is the original price to you." ”

Zhang Yong stopped when he heard this, and asked suspiciously, "Is what you said true?" Transfer the original price to me? ”

The lewd uncle laughed and said, "Of course it's true, if you don't believe it, then trade now." ”

Zhang Yong asked confusedly, "Why?" ”

The lewd uncle said lightly: "To be honest, I'm not afraid of your jokes, I just can't get used to their kind of scalpers, I think you're in a hurry, I'm afraid that you will go back and buy tickets with them, I just sell my tickets at a low price, and I won't let those people succeed." ”

Zhang Yong heard the obscene uncle in front of him, and felt that he couldn't judge whether he was a good person or a bad person just by looking at the first glance, the middle-aged man in front of him who was not good-looking, although he looked a little obscene, but I had to say that he was indeed a good person, Zhang Yong looked at him gratefully and said: "Thank you, thank you so much, I don't know how to repay your kindness." ”

The lewd uncle smiled and said, "Don't talk about these useless things, the car is about to leave, and my brother will take the ticket." As he spoke, he handed the ticket to Zhang Yong.

Zhang Yong excitedly took the seemingly fluttering ticket, but it was actually as heavy as Mount Tai.

Zhang Yong took out the money from his trouser pocket and found that he had no change, so he gave him a hundred yuan and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, there is no change." ”

The lewd uncle frowned and said, "I don't have any change, why don't you go to the nearby supermarket to change some?" ”

Zhang Yong didn't think much about it, so he hurriedly ran towards the ticket hall, and at this moment, the obscene uncle hurriedly grabbed Zhang Yong and said: "Don't go to the station, the things in there are too expensive, if you don't buy things, they won't give you change." Then he pointed to the supermarket opposite and said with a smile: "Look at the supermarket opposite, the things he sells are not expensive, they are at a low price." ”

Zhang Yong looked at the obscene uncle, how did he feel that he was so much like a trust, why did he go there to buy things?

And the obscene uncle seemed to see the dissatisfaction in Zhang Yong's heart, and hurriedly said: "Little brother, don't think about it, I'm not a trust, that supermarket can be exchanged for change if you don't buy anything, the money is in your hands, and it's your freedom to spend it wherever you want." ”

Zhang Yong's expression softened a lot when he heard this, if it was really what the lewd uncle in front of him said, it seemed to be a good choice to take a few more steps to exchange change without spending money.

Zhang Yong said to the obscene uncle: "You wait for me, I'll go change and I'll be back soon." With that, Zhang Yong ran towards the supermarket opposite.

Zhang Yong entered the supermarket and found that this supermarket is not very small, his dazzling array of goods, looked at the price, it is indeed as the obscene uncle said, the price is indeed not expensive, it is a cheap commodity, much cheaper than the things in the train station, Zhang Yong did not plan to buy things, and said to the boss of the cash register: "Boss, can I exchange some change with you?" ”

The boss looked at Zhang Yong with a smile and said, "Of course you can do it, little brother, how do you change it?" ”

Zhang Yong was overjoyed, the obscene uncle really didn't lie to himself, he took out a hundred yuan and said, "Help me convert this hundred into change." ”

The boss took Zhang Yong's money, checked it carefully, and found that it was real money, so he took out the change from the cash register, he gave Zhang Yong nine pieces of ten yuan, ten pieces of one yuan, he counted them and handed them to Zhang Yong and said: "Little brother, is it okay to exchange it like this?" ”

Zhang Yong nodded, he was very satisfied with this exchange, and the boss's attitude also made his original gloomy mood instantly brighten.

Zhang Yong took the money and was about to leave, when the boss hurriedly shouted, "Little brother, you wait." ”

Zhang Yong looked at the boss suspiciously, thinking that he still wanted to let himself buy something.

However, the boss said: "Little brother, you'd better count the money with me, in case I give you more or less, I won't be responsible for you going out of this door." ”

Zhang Yong sighed secretly in his heart: "This boss is indeed cautious enough, in this way, it is really impossible to say anything in person, and this boss must have suffered this loss." ”

Zhang Yong took this handful of money, holding the money in his left hand, counting them one by one with his right hand, he counted both sides, and felt that there was no problem, so he said to the boss: "Boss, the money is right, thank you, goodbye." ”

Zhang Yong hurriedly ran to the ticket gate and found that the obscene uncle was still standing there waiting for him, Zhang Yong felt that this uncle was really a good person, he really didn't lie to himself.

Zhang Yong smiled and said to the obscene uncle: "Uncle, thank you, I changed the money, the owner of the supermarket is really a good person." ”

The lewd uncle smiled and said, "Little brother, you see, I won't lie to you." Then he handed the ticket to Zhang Yong and said, "Little brother, don't say it, the car is about to start, take the ticket and enter the station." ”

At this time, the radio at the train station sounded, and the train that Zhang Yong was going to take began to check the tickets.

Zhang Yong casually took out five pieces of ten yuan from the change and handed them to the obscene uncle, and after he took the ticket, he hurriedly ran towards the ticket gate, leaving only a sentence in the air: "Uncle, thank you, you are a good person." I sighed in my heart: "There are still many good people in this world." ”

After Zhang Yong got on the train, he walked according to the seat number on the ticket, and when he walked to his seat, he found that a middle-aged woman was already sitting on his seat, Zhang Yong smiled at the middle-aged woman and said, "I'm sorry, this is my seat." ”

However, the middle-aged woman looked at Zhang Yong suspiciously and said, "This is my seat." ”
