The car drove back to the store, and I saw Qin Li walking down from the truck with a big cardboard box, he was tired and sweaty, panting, seeing that I was back, he stuffed the cardboard box into my arms, wiped the sweat and said: "Look for yourself, so many clothes, I can't move them in a day." ”

After speaking, he muttered a few words dissatisfiedly, the white T-shirt was already soaked with sweat, and his thin body looked a little thin in the cool breeze.

I gently put the cardboard box on the ground and said with a flattering face: "Thank you brother, didn't you hire a porter." ”

"That doesn't cost money, I asked, it costs at least more than 400 yuan to unload these goods, don't you want to save you some money."

He said angrily, tugging at his collar from time to time to wipe the beads of sweat off his forehead.

"Thank you, brother, for all the money saved, and we'll have a big dinner in the evening."

As soon as Qin Li heard that the dinner was going to be improved, his expression of grievance instantly turned into infinite anticipation, he licked his tongue, looked at me and said, "Words count." ”

I nodded bitterly, and when I saw a truckload full of clothes, I frowned again, if I moved with Qin Yan without resting, at least it would be dark.

However, if the truck is parked at the edge of the warehouse, it will save a lot of effort and time, but now it has to go through the store and through the yard to reach the warehouse, which is not only time-consuming, but also physically demanding.

The two of us made a few more trips, only to feel back pain and physical exhaustion, I sat on the cardboard box, looked at Qin Yan and said, "Why don't you let the truck drive into the yard, it's too tiring." ”

"You think I don't want to."

Qin Li glanced at me, squatted at the door of the warehouse, pointed to the gate at the entrance of the yard and said: "The gate is locked, the key is in the hands of the owner of the jewelry store, I went to negotiate with him, he was arrogant, very bad, said that the whole yard was hardened by his money, if you want the truck to come in, you have to pay 100 yuan in tolls, I see him so tricky, turn around and leave." ”

I pursed my lips and whispered, "Is this yard his?" ”

"It's a fart, I wouldn't be so angry if I could."

Qin Yan said angrily, he spat and stood up again and said, "I didn't let him harden the road, besides, what right does he have not to let him go." ”

I lit a cigarette and, after thinking for a moment, whispered, "You go ahead and move, I'll ask." ”

"I'll go with you too, that boss is arrogant and unreasonable, I'm afraid that you will be grumpy and fight with him."

He looked at me worriedly, as if he was not at ease with me.

I smiled bitterly and teased, "If he really won't let me in, then I'll have to beat him." ”

"You..."

After Qin Yan heard this, he was speechless for a while, he glanced at me, and whispered: "Xinyan has only been gone for a day, you are going to cause trouble, if you always fight, Xinyan may never come back." ”

I walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, brother, I'm not a ruffian, more is better than less, I'm just talking to the boss, if the truck can drive in, we can both save a lot of effort." ”

After speaking, I walked towards the jewelry store next to the gate, and Qin Yan followed with a worried face.

Walking to the door of the store, I looked up at the signboard, the sparkling jewelry store, the plaque was old, the front of the door was dirty and messy, and there were a few cardboard boxes stacked under the eaves of the wall, which were deformed by the rain, I frowned and walked into the store.

The store was empty, unusually deserted, inside the glass counter, there were all kinds of sparkling trinkets, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, rings, hairpins, headbands, etc., I walked a few steps inside, and saw a black cash register in the innermost part, the countertop was not large, with payment cards and calculators on it, a middle-aged man about forty years old was half-lying on a chair, playing mobile games, and cursed in a low voice from time to time: "Damn, a group of stupid hangers, on it, are they all blind?" ”

I coughed lightly to get his attention, but he seemed so engrossed that he didn't pay any attention to me.

"Uh, you're the boss, aren't you?"

I asked in a low voice as I pressed my hands on the cash register.

He glanced at me and said angrily, "What's wrong?" You can pick what you want to buy, and pay for it after you choose. ”

He has a strong dialect accent and shouldn't look like a local, but his dismissive attitude annoys me a lot.

"Boss, I'm not here to buy something, can I open the gate of the back yard?"

I suppressed the anger in my heart and spoke to him calmly.

After hearing this, he threw his mobile phone on the bar, showing an expression full of disgust, he stood up and said impatiently: "Didn't I say before, the gate can be opened, and you have to pay 100 yuan for tolls, if you don't pay, I won't open it for you, the reason is very simple, what is there to say?" ”

Qin Yan gritted his teeth and said angrily: "But there is more than one warehouse in this courtyard, you have the key to the gate alone, and you charge indiscriminately, which is unreasonable in itself, and the right to use this courtyard does not belong to you, what right do you have to hinder our passage?" ”

After hearing this, the boss said unhurriedly: "Because the ground hardening of the entire yard is repaired at my expense, if your truck drives up, it will crush my ground, do you understand this truth?" ”

Qin Yan's cheeks flushed, his fists clenched tightly, and his thin body trembled slightly due to his extremely excited emotions, as if he was going to cut the boss in front of him with a thousand knives.

I looked at him, this man is about 1.83 meters tall, on par with me, burly, sturdy, unkempt curly hair dyed flaxen, wearing an inappropriate bodysuit, the upper body is a red and white patterned sweater, the lower body is wearing a pair of green pencil pants, with a pair of white sneakers, I didn't expect such a fat and thick man, since he is dressed so fancy, it really subverts my imagination of a middle-aged man.

I patted Qin Li's shoulder, signaled him to be calm, and looked at the boss with a smile on his face and said, "Boss, we have opened a new clothing store next door to you, and everyone will be neighbors in the future." ”

As I spoke, I took out my wallet, took out 100 yuan and put it on the bar, and continued: "My little brother is not very sensible, please take care of it a little more." ”

Qin Yan clenched his arms, and in his clear eyes, there were bursts of cold light, and he saw the boss unconsciously shrink back, but it was only for a moment, and he showed that invincible face again, only to see that he looked arrogant, and the horizontal flesh on his face jumped up and down, as if he was dancing ballroom dance, catering left and right, trembling for a while.

He pressed his hand on the 100 yuan, pushed it in front of me, and said disdainfully: "100 yuan is not enough, if you want to go in, you have to give 300 now." ”

He saw that my expression was a little ugly, and said with a sneer: "Brother, it's not that I sit on the ground and charge indiscriminately, you go to other communities to see, as long as it rains in the yard, it will be muddy, the property doesn't matter, the residents are rowing out, I kindly pay for this yard to harden, should I charge some tolls?" ”

I looked at him intently, and really wanted to press him to the ground and beat him violently, but thinking that it would be open for business in the future, and I couldn't avoid passing through the warehouse, so I simply spent money to buy a peace of mind, so I pulled out 200 yuan from my wallet, handed it to him, and said, "It's okay this way." ”

He reached out and took the money, stuffed it into his trouser pocket, pursed his lips again, and said, "These three hundred yuan is the cost of entering the yard, not counting the parking fee?" ”

After hearing this, Qin Yan shouted angrily: "How can there be parking fees?" We're just unloading a cargo, aren't you charging indiscriminately? ”

I also echoed: "Yes, boss, the reason is that you charged 100 just now, and then it rose to 300, I admit it, but what's the matter with this parking fee, I unload in front of my warehouse, and it doesn't prevent other vehicles from entering and exiting, which is a bit too much, right?" ”

After hearing this, the boss showed a look of contempt on his face, he sat down and lit a cigarette, took a puff lightly, looked at me and said: "How can there be a free lunch in the world, you walk into the hospital and occupy a bed, don't you spend money?" If you're flying and you take a seat, is it free? This is all the same reason, I don't charge expensive, 50 yuan an hour, if you are too expensive, don't go in. ”

After he finished speaking, he gently spit out a cigarette, and in the smoke and fog, his expression was extremely arrogant and complacent, like a landlord grandfather in the early stage of liberation, arrogant and domineering, unstoppable, I could see that my blood was shy, and I couldn't keep calm.

My face was gloomy, and a raging anger ignited in my body, as if it could not be contained, it quickly filled my whole body, I instinctively clenched my fists, Qin Yan saw this, and hurriedly said: "Brother, let's go, it doesn't matter if the car doesn't drive in, those goods can't be unloaded today, and they will continue to move tomorrow." ”

He tugged at my clothes and tried to pull me out of the jewelry store.

My body tensed, my eyes burned, I looked at the boss and said, "If I don't give you the parking fee today, what can you do to me?" ”

The boss glanced at me and said casually: "Yo, the young man's temper is quite hot, how can there be a smell of gunpowder in your words, now it is a harmonious society, how can there be a saying about beating people, if you don't pay the parking fee, of course I can't let you in, it's that simple." ”

He was half-reclined in a chair with a cigarette in his mouth, picked up his phone at the bar and started playing.

I trembled with anger, my clenched fists were already gurgling, and the only shred of reason I had was washed away by anger, I broke free from Qin Yan's restraints, jumped into the bar with a brisk step, grabbed his hair and dragged him out the door.

"Fuck, are you crazy, let me go or I'll call the police."

He was full of feces and curses, and I dragged him to the ground and fell to the ground.

I used all my strength to drag him out of the shop, and his flaxen curls were pulled off a lot, I let go of my hand, gritted my teeth, and said, "Come on, I want to pay for parking, hit me." ”

He rubbed his scalp, his sturdy body was as vulnerable as a paper tiger, and when he saw me shouting hoarsely, he frowned and scolded in a low voice: "Lao Tzu just won't let you in today, fuck, you can't give money, and the king of heaven Lao Tzu is here..."

Before he could finish his sentence, I aimed it at his nose and slammed it down, only to hear a snap, and he staggered backwards, covering his nose with both hands, red blood running down his fingers and moistening the dry bricks.

He didn't mean to attack, he just stood there and scolded even more fiercely: "You are a fucking bandit, you are a ruffian, Lao Tzu will throw you to prison today." ”

After he finished speaking, he ran into the store, picked up his phone at the bar, ran out again, pointed at me and said, "You wait, I'll call the police." ”

"Who's going to call the police?"

A familiar voice came, and my scalp tingled a little when I heard it.

I turned around and saw Wang Ling carrying a bag, walking leisurely, she wore a black and white dress today, painted a light makeup, wavy curly hair fell on her shoulders, her beautiful eyes were like a pool of clean water, not stained with dust, her delicate cheeks were impeccable, she stepped on a pair of red high heels, under the enchanting and charming shadow, every movement revealed the beauty of youth and beauty.

When the boss saw Wang Ling coming over, as if he had seen a ghost, he opened his mouth wide and said tremblingly, "Wang, Miss Wang." ”

I sniffled, confused by the suddenness of the scene.

"What's going on?"

Wang Ling glanced at me and secretly stuck out her tongue again.

"Miss Wang, this person doesn't pay the parking fee, he wants to enter the yard, I don't listen to persuasion, he starts beating people."

The boss complained with grievances on his face, he half-bowed, like an ancient eunuch, his expression was extremely funny.

I looked at him and shouted in a low voice: "Don't distort the facts, you are asking for a lot of money, you are messing around, this site is not private property, you charge for no reason, and you are begging for a beating, no wonder others." ”

"What the are you talking about?"

After he finished speaking, he rushed towards me with a red face, and Wang Ling scolded loudly: "Stop, you, open the door immediately and let him in." ”

She pointed at the boss, a look of irrefutable expression on her delicate cheeks, the boss stopped, hesitated for a moment, and muttered, "But..."

"But what? Doesn't it work for me to talk? Why don't you ask my dad to come and reason with you? ”

Wang Ling hugged her arms, a breeze blew, blowing her hair, and under her thin body, she gave people a majesty that could not be transgressed.

The boss glared at me fiercely, rubbed his bloody nose, and walked into the store reluctantly.

Qin Li went to find the truck driver, and Wang Ling and I were left in front of the jewelry store, and we were speechless, looking at each other, and the atmosphere was extremely dull.

"Thank you."

"Are you alright?"

We both spoke at the same time, and the awkward atmosphere seemed to be heavier, but it was only for a moment that she burst out laughing.

The warm winter sun was refracted on her cheeks, gilded with a golden halo, she put the bangs scattered on her forehead behind her ears, revealing a shallow pear vortex, she saw that I looked sluggish, her face was cold, so she stretched out a hand, and said lightly: "Let's get acquainted again, hello, my name is Wang Ling." ”
