I took Zhang Xueyao and her colleagues to the warehouse, and after opening the iron door, a bad smell of mold and deterioration poured out, Zhang Xueyao frowned, covered her nose with her hands, and her expression was a little embarrassed.

"What does it smell like?"

The colleague next to her took a step back, waving one hand up and down, driving away the scent.

I scratched my head a little embarrassed, and said with a bitter smile: "Some time ago, it was the rainy season, and the clothes were easy to mold when they were damp, and it was dark and damp here, and the sunlight was not visible, and the air circulation was not very good, so the smell was a little unpleasant, but the clothes were in good condition, which you can rest assured." ”

Zhang Xueyao secretly pinched my waist and reminded me not to say anything.

I understood, and suddenly said, "I'll take my clothes outside, it's dim and I can't see clearly." ”

Zhang Xueyao bowed slightly, I lifted the two huge woven bags and walked out, put them on a pavement, untied the hemp rope at the mouth of the bag, grabbed the bottom of the woven bag, and poured out all the clothes with a hula.

"It's all summer clothes here, shorts and short sleeves are the majority, you can take a look, there are still in the warehouse."

I wiped the sweat from my forehead and explained to Zhang Xueyao.

Zhang Xueyao bent down, picked up a white bag, opened it and pulled out a pink T-shirt, she looked at it carefully, pursed her lips and said, "How many other T-shirts are there?" ”

"There are a lot of them, if you like them, I can move them all out."

I rubbed my hands together to ease my nervousness and look forward to the business in front of me.

Zhang Xueyao and her colleague glanced at each other, and then said softly: "You don't have to move, we all want this style." ”

After hearing this, I was extremely excited, hugged Zhang Xueyao's shoulders and shook them vigorously.

"Really?"

She struggled out and stared at me: "When did I tell a lie, the truck will arrive in a while, let's negotiate the price, and then sign an agreement." ”

"Okay, no problem."

I have already calculated in my own heart, the purchase price of these T-shirts is ten yuan, if Zhang Xueyao and her company can buy them all back, then they will sell for twenty-five yuan, and their intermediate profit will be fifteen yuan.

In addition to this T-bar, Zhang Xueyao promised to pack and take away all the clothes in my current inventory, but the price is relatively low, which is better than the backlog and unsalable.

The three of us worked hard all morning, and finally counted all the clothes, before and after adding up to 2,450 pieces of clothing, I earned a profit of 30,500 yuan in the middle, of which the number of T shirts was 1,200 pieces, the intermediate profit was 18,000 yuan, and the number of other unsalable clothing was 1,250 pieces, of which the profit was 12,500 yuan.

Zhang Xueyao made me earn 30,500 yuan effortlessly, which is a beautiful thing I never dreamed of, and it is also the largest pot of gold I have ever found since I came to this city.

December is coming to an end, and the New Year's Day is just around the corner, and the people of the city are still busy, walking non-stop, as if they would miss the opportunity if they are a second late, and the weather is getting cooler, and even the plane trees on the roadside are rolling up their leaves, ready to welcome the New Year's bells.

I suddenly thought of the white wolf in my dream, polite and relaxed, looking at the magnificent castle in front of me, and the hoarse and low voice still lingering in my ears.

"Grasp the moment, cherish the time, your choices determine the direction of your future life."

Yes, the choice is greater than the effort, I am very fortunate to be able to meet Zhang Xueyao in this city, and I am also grateful for the guidance of the scumbag brother when I am at a loss, no matter how many bitter ups and downs I have encountered before, but my original intention has never changed, I only hope that many years later, when I recall this experience, I can be worthy of my heart, I can have no regrets, no complaints, no depression, life has always given us a balance between hard work and struggle, laziness and ignorance compromise, kindness and sincerity are harmonious, and love is consistent with the original intention.

After signing the contract with Zhang Xueyao, the truck came, I loaded all the goods into the car, it was noon, the sun was hot, I was tired and sweaty, but my heart was beautiful, Zhang Xueyao gave me a look, I instantly understood, she meant to let me treat her to a big meal, I gave her a thumbs up, and nodded to the position of my heart, indicating that I put my heart in my stomach, I will not break my word.

After Zhang Xueyao left, I tidied up the warehouse, dragged the remaining small commodities to the bunk, and placed them in turn, these commodities are common things in daily life, so I don't have to worry about no sales, such as slippers, batteries, universal remote control, lighters, bath towels, towels, hair flowers, carbon pens and so on.

These things can only be sold slowly, not in a hurry, the cost is small, the profit is very low, there is no backlog of goods trouble, so that I feel very comfortable, at noon I ordered two takeaways, sent one to the scumbag, I sat next to him and ate with relish.

"The girl surnamed Zhang pulled all the clothes away?"

Brother Zhang took a piece of dry pot beef and threw it into his mouth and chewed it slowly, but his eyes kept looking at me.

"Well, I've bought them all, and now there are still some small commodities left, so I don't have to worry about selling, and the cost of investing in them is small."

I unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle, took two sips, and handed it to the scumbag.

"Then will she still need clothes in the future?"

Brother Slag took the water bottle, took a sip gently, and then tightened the cap.

"I said it before, I didn't say it today, I guess there is a colleague by her side, she can't erase it, I will invite her to our house for a meal tonight, and we will talk about it when the time comes, I can't be too greedy, Zhang Xueyao has taken a lot of effort to help me this time, I can't ask for orders from others with one mind."

I ate the boxed lunch, threw it into the trash can opposite, walked over to the scumbag, and sat down slowly.

At this time, the phone rang, I hurriedly took it out to check, it was an unfamiliar number, I hesitated for a moment, and answered the call.

"Hey, is it Wang Tao? I'm Qin Li. ”

It turned out to be him, what can't be said on WeChat, I asked, "What's wrong Qin Li?" ”

"I'm almost done cleaning up here, you and Brother Scumbag come back early in the evening, I want to treat you two to a meal."

He was pouting, as if he were eating.

I thought of inviting Zhang Xueyao to dinner in the evening, the time was incomparable, Zhang Xueyao made so much money for me, I must not miss the appointment, so I said: "There is a guest who is coming to the house that night, you can eat with us, we are all good friends, there is nothing inhibited." ”

"Ah, but I've bought all the food."

I sneered: "Living in this yard is like this, whoever has time buys vegetables, whoever has time cooks, you buy vegetables today, and tomorrow Brother and I will buy them if we close the stall early, don't worry too much about these." ”

Brother Scumbag threw the packing box into the garbage sleeve, walked over and lit a cigarette and handed it to me, and asked softly, "Is it the guy who moved in new?" ”

I smiled and nodded.

Qin Yan said with relief: "Okay, I know." ”

After hanging up the phone, an old couple came to the stall of the scumbag, the two old people were full of dust, rickety, the once tall and straight figure has disappeared, the years have taken away all their glory, but no matter how time passes, or the white horse passes, the two old people still walk hand in hand, do not abandon or give up, support each other, encourage each other, and walk together to finish the few remaining life time.

The two old men taught a lesson to the young people silently, looking at the current high and alarming divorce rate, as well as a couple with no emotional foundation, the former vows and alliances, three minutes of enthusiasm, were defeated by the ordinary life, firewood, rice, oil and salt, high mortgages, credit cards that can't be repaid, and brand-name bags that can't be bought, we can only tolerate the glamorous beauty of others in our eyes, but we can't find a little bit of our own fun from the ordinary life.

"What do you want to buy?"

Brother Scumbag stood up, threw the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground, stepped on it with his foot, rubbed his big hands that were cooled by the cold wind, and looked at the old man in front of him.

This old man is about 80 years old, with gray hair, with a pair of thick reading glasses, his face is full of wrinkles, his body is rickety, and he is wearing a long black woolen coat. ”

After hearing this, the old woman pushed the old man and signaled him not to buy it.

She is thin, very short, with two eye bags under her eyes, her face is covered with age spots, her fingers are dry, she is tightly holding the old man's arms, she is wearing a gray knitted sweater on her upper body, a black down jacket on the outside, and a pair of thick warm pants on her lower body, and her bloated trouser legs do not match her thin body.

"Cotton hats, I have a lot of them here, and now that it's cold, buy one and give it to grandma to bring, it's warm and beautiful."

Brother Scumbag smiled and took out a plastic bag from under the paving, which was filled with all kinds of cotton hats, some suitable for young people to wear, and some colors that middle-aged and elderly people loved.

"Look at it, if you like it."

Brother Scumbag poured the cotton cap on the paving and let the old man choose for himself.

He picked up a gray cotton knitted hat, put gloves into the inside of the hat, rubbed it again, looked at the old woman next to him and said, "How about this?" ”

"Oh, don't buy it for me, there are several at home."

Although the old grandmother said that she didn't want it, her cloudy eyes kept staring at the gray hat, and there was a sad color in her eyes.

The old man was very unhappy when he heard this, he scolded: "You have a strong temper in your life, tomorrow is your 83rd birthday, I will give you a hat as a birthday gift, this may be your last birthday, what else do I want to give you in the future?" ”

Tears welled up in his eyes, his body trembled slightly, and he covered his tearful eyes with one hand, his expression was extremely sad and sad.

I couldn't help myself after listening, turned my face to wipe the tears on the corners of my eyes, and heard the sad dialogue in front of me, I only felt that human life in the long river of time, like a grain of ups and downs, at the end of life, some people cry bitterly, regret for life, some people are detached and relieved, optimistic, we are ordinary people after all, we must be very content with our love, life is too short, we have to be like collectors, pick up every touch in life, let the river of time flow slowly, that's all.

Brother Scumbag took a long breath, looked at the old grandmother and said: "Grandma, I gave you this hat, and I wish you a happy birthday, you must live to be a hundred years old, you know, starting next year, as long as you celebrate your birthday, I will give you a cotton hat, so you have to live well." ”

The old man led the old grandmother away, and the scumbag brother didn't sit down for a long time, he looked at the backs of the two old men, and his heart was full of sadness, maybe he was hurt by the scene, or he missed his distant family.

I looked up at the sky, the clouds in the sky have been dyed by the sun into a faint pink, colorful, endless, like a bamboo shadow as green, thin, swaying, that indescribable halo, illuminating the life of all kinds, mixed tastes, but also illuminating the splendor and glory of life, the beauty and moving of life.
