The night was hazy, there were no street lights outside the courtyard gate, it was pitch black, only the car lights illuminated this area, and after a while, the car turned off, the lights turned off, and the doors opened.

I stood up and looked at the people walking out of the car with a puzzled face.

A blurred face slowly became clear from far and near, Xue Xinyan's delicate and flawless pretty face appeared in front of my eyes, her clothes were fragrant and sideburns, beautiful eyes, and the fashionable hairstyle made her more lively and smart, dressed in a denim suit, setting off her tall and feminine figure, eyebrows like green feathers, cherry lips and teeth, small nose slightly upturned, and a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

I froze in place, Xinyan's sudden appearance disrupted my thoughts, she shouldn't have appeared now.

"What's the matter, I'm not welcome to come?"

She winced her eyebrows and walked up to me, scented of lavender flowers.

I took a deep breath and said with a smile, "I can't ask for it, but if you come over at this point, your mother won't say anything, right?" ”

I took Xue Xinyan's hand and walked towards the bench.

"I'm here for you, my mom knows."

I wiped the chair with a rag and she sat down and looked at me.

"What didn't she say? Directly agree that you are coming? ”

I looked at her with a puzzled look on my face.

"No, it looks normal."

She tugged at the pleats on her jeans, her expression revealing a casual look.

I thought to myself, what kind of medicine does this lady sell in her gourd, since I agreed to Xinyan to come alone, I suddenly remembered Du Chenyu, and hurriedly asked her: "Xinyan, did anyone follow you when you came?" ”

"I didn't pay attention, it was quite calm all the way."

She pursed her seductive thin lips, squeezed my hand, and wondered, "What's wrong with you, suspicious, did I suddenly come to bother you?" ”

"No, don't think so, it's just that your mother has changed her normal behavior, and I'm still a little uncomfortable."

I hurriedly explained to her, stood up, walked over to the boiling kettle, and prepared to boil a pot of boiling water.

"I heard Du Chenyu say, you have been working hard to set up a stall recently, can your body bear it?"

She sat on a bench and looked at me with a pink bag, and her figure was a little thin in the night.

"It's not a big problem, do you want to try the taste of setting up a stall."

I took out two cups from the cupboard and put them on the table, and the white heat was already coming out of the kettle.

"Well, that's exactly what I mean."

"Won't you come to me?"

"I just want to go out with you and experience life."

I was surprised for two seconds, looked at her and said, "Don't be kidding, Xinyan, it's really hard to set up a stall, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it, and the taste of heat stroke is not good." ”

I tore open two bags of instant coffee, poured them into cups, and the hot water in the pot boiled, shaking violently, as if it was about to burst.

"If you can stick to it, you'll know if you try it, hehe."

She smiled lightly, her white cheeks refracted by the moonlight, exuding a seductive luster.

I poured boiling water into the cup, the aroma of coffee overflowed and wafted, the hot air rose up, drilled into my nostrils, I took a sip, and said lightly: "Xinyan, I'm a little powerless now, your mother gave me 200,000 yuan, let me double it in two years, I feel a lot of pressure, but this is also my last bargaining chip with you, sometimes I really want to return the money to her, so I just got a hundred, but every time I think of you, I grit my teeth and insist, in fact, what she said is not unreasonable, if a man doesn't start a business, Without a material foundation, you can't talk about anything, let alone give you a warm and comfortable home. ”

I picked up the cup and took a sip, the coffee was a little bitter and a little sweet.

After hearing this, Xue Xinyan held my hand and comforted me: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, there is no endless road, even if you don't earn so much after two years, I won't leave you, even if my mother forcibly separates the two of us, I won't change my mind, besides, this city is not good, you can go back to your hometown to develop, even if the place is smaller, at least there is a warm home, why suffer here." ”

"I just want to show her, don't always have a high-minded, invincible face, I, Wang Tao, am not a waste, I have the ability to support you."

I clenched her hand tightly, and I swore with a sworn expression.

The next morning, the alarm clock rang, at five o'clock, I sat up, and saw that Xinyan was still asleep, I rubbed my eyes, quietly put on my clothes, and made a rustling sound, for fear of waking her up.

When I came to the courtyard, a warm breeze blew in my face, which made me sober up a lot, on the eastern canopy, the clouds were baked red by the sun, like a beautiful picture, and like a grassland galloping by thousands of horses, brilliant and colorful, exuding brilliant brilliance.

I poured the millet into the pot, rinsed it with water several times, prepared to boil a pot of rice porridge, poured in a scoop of water, annihilated a quarter of the millet, and pressed the soup button on the rice cooker.

I took out four more eggs, washed them with water, turned on the gas stove, added half a pot of water, put the eggs in it, and covered the pot.

I walked out of the yard and went to the morning stall across the street and bought four steamed buns stuffed with celery and pork.

When I came back, I put the cucumber I bought yesterday on the board and smashed it, put it in a pot, cut the green onion and garlic, poured in the seasoning and stirred evenly, added some coriander into it, and the cucumber was ready.

After doing this, I looked at the time, and at half past five, it took me twenty minutes to prepare breakfast, and the speed was still very fast.

Walking into the basement, Xue Xinyan was still sleeping deeply, and she couldn't bear to wake her up, but she had no choice but to promise her that she was going out of the stall today, and if she didn't get up, the cucumber dish would really be cold.

"Xinyan, get up."

I nudged her gently, calling softly in her ear.

She moved slightly, her scattered bangs blocking her delicate cheeks, and I helped her tuck them behind her ears.

"Hmm, what, what time is it?"

She opened her beautiful eyes and looked at me sleepily.

"It's five o'clock, get up, wash your hands and eat, otherwise it will be cold in a while."

She sat up and rubbed her numb arm.

I walked out of the yard, poured the boiling water from the boiling pot into the washbasin, mixed some cold water into it, adjusted the water temperature, and said to Xue Xinyan behind me: "Wash your face first, spirit." ”

She hugged my waist and said shyly, "Why weren't you so nice to me when you were at home." ”

I smiled and said, "Mom and Dad are not as unrestrained as they are now." ”

After washing up and having breakfast, it was already half past six, I hurriedly packed up the dishes and chopsticks, put them in the pool, and walked out of the yard with Xue Xinyan and came to the street.

"Do you have to get up so early to get out of the stall?"

Xue Xinyan looked at me curiously, and her bewitching eyes exuded a seductive style.

"That's right, I can't grab a good booth when I go late, and I usually get up earlier when I buy goods, otherwise the goods will be sold out."

I took Xue Xinyan's hand and walked forward quickly.

Coming to the big iron gate of the flea market, Xue Xinyan was instantly stunned by the scene in front of her, only to see from a distance, the already narrow front of the iron gate was crowded with people from all over the country, they spoke dialects with different accents, some carried several woven bags, lying on the iron gate with anxious expressions, and some carried a huge sack on their shoulders, frowning, like travelers fleeing from the famine.

"Hey, don't squeeze it."

"You're blind, you've stepped on my feet."

"Why don't you open the door yet?"

The crowd was boiling, unusually noisy, I was tall, I looked quite strong, I struggled to push a few people away, and walked forward with great difficulty, from time to time there were a few ugly words of abuse around me, Xue Xinyan followed behind me, a pair of small hands tightly grasped the corners of my clothes.

Before he reached the iron gate, the fierce bald guy took a bunch of keys, walked over leisurely, opened the lock, pulled off the iron chain on the deadbolt, and squeaked, the door was pushed open by everyone, and the crowd was crowded, like a pack of hungry wolves, pounced on the idle stalls in front of him.

I didn't have time to think about it, I grabbed Xue Xinyan's hand and ran forward, and the few stalls on the side were instantly occupied, I frowned and continued to run forward, and there was a sound of kicking and trampling behind me, and the sound was mixed with shouts and curses.

Xue Xinyan was already shocked by what had just happened, she just followed me mechanically, her ruddy cheeks had turned pale, as if she had come to a battlefield without gunsmoke, and she couldn't see the sword light and sword shadow, but in the chaotic scene, she could smell the pungent smell of gunpowder everywhere.

After running for about five minutes, I found a booth with a preferred location, I quickly walked over, picked up a brick under the bed, pressed it on the desk, wiped the sweat from my forehead, and finally relaxed my tense nerves.

"W-is this okay?"

Xue Xinyan walked over and asked tremblingly.

"Well, this stall will belong to me today, and this brick represents the seal, and others will not come to snatch it again."

I repeated to her the common sense that the scumbag brother had taught.

"So, is this location good?"

Xue Xinyan stared at me with a pair of big confused eyes, looking at me inexplicably.

"It's okay, the main thing is to sell products that are attractive, so that you can attract customers."

I pulled her to the back of the stall and pulled a horse out of it for her to sit down.

"You wait for me here, I'll go to the warehouse and bring the goods."

"Do you want me to help you?"

She stood up again, her expression restless.

"No, I'll be right back."

I looked at her with a smile, rubbed her hair indulgently, and turned to walk towards the warehouse.

The sun rises in the sky, radiating a red glow, and the heat wave sweeps by, indicating that today's sweltering heat has just begun.

I rummaged through the warehouse to find the rest of the day's goods, slippers, parasols, sunglasses, which sold very well, I put these goods into woven bags, and took out a large bag of clothes and slippers, and took out more than twenty bottles of cool oil and toilet water, and these goods together amounted to six or seven bags, which I laboriously dragged to the stall.

Xue Xinyan helped me put the goods on display, she arranged them very carefully, put the commonly used goods in the most conspicuous place, put the bad clothes on the inside, razors, batteries, small fans and the like hung on both sides of the paving, and after everything was ready, I started the day's business.

With a few drops of sweat on her forehead, I took out a tissue and handed it to her, saying, "I'm tired, sit down and rest." ”

I sighed, and I frowned at the sight of two familiar figures walking not far away, and my nerves tensed again.
