When a typhoon comes, the southern part of the country with a crisp autumn weather turns into a terrifying world. The red sun was carried by a storm, and I don't know where it went.

The wind played like a terrible music, all day long, and the flowers and plants fell to the ground. The trees swayed wildly, scuffled, cursed, and shouted.

The sky was full of dark clouds, flying in the air like demons, thunder and lightning and huge raindrops, knocking on the earth. After a period of rage, they slowly faded away, taking away the light and warmth of the city, heralding the approaching winter.

On Sunday morning, Fang Wei had just gotten up when a car horn sounded outside the window. Hearing this familiar, rhythmic voice, I knew that Xiaoli was coming.

Xiaoli entered the door, didn't say anything, and threw something in her hand onto Fang Wei's bed.

"What's that? Throw it on my bed. He asked.

"I bought a coat, you try it, and see if it fits." Xiaoli said.

"You're really, buy me something again, how can I say hello? If you do it again, you won't come again. He said.

Xiaoli glanced at Fang Wei, a trace of unhappiness appeared on her face, ignored Fang Wei, tore open the package, took out the clothes and handed them to Fang Wei, and said; "What do you say, if you want me to come, I'll come, if you don't want me to come, I won't come, does that mean? The legs are on me, and you can't help it. ”

Xiaoli stared at Fang Wei with both eyes, as if explaining and comforting, and said; "Yesterday, when I got off work, I passed by a store, and there were a lot of people in front of the door. The merchant shouted loudly, saying that it was imported from Russia, military tweed coats. I touched it with my hand, and it was quite thick and of really good quality. The coat is not what the merchant said, imported through some formal channel, I think it is smuggled and sold very cheaply. Winter is coming, it's about to get cold, you don't have winter clothes, I bought you one. ”

Xiaoli explained, with an unhappy tone in her words, Fang Wei could hear it, and she was a little unhappy. Fang Wei wanted to use an excuse to keep his distance from Xiaoli, so he had to slow down.

Fang Wei thought that what Xiaoli did to him, all of them were in his childhood friendship, he should stop in moderation, he couldn't be without self-knowledge, the so-called 'people are poor and short-minded', although it is not appropriate to use it here, but Fang Wei can't find a better word to describe his current dilemma of being pitied.

What Fang Wei said just now, he felt a little regretful later, and his mind thought repeatedly, Xiaoli cares about herself so much, how can she have a happy look, too serious, it will cool Xiaoli's heart, don't let her feel it, hot face sticks to cold ass.

Fang Wei wanted to ease the atmosphere and not stiffen the relationship between the two people, he quickly put on his coat, turned back and forth in front of Xiaoli a few times, and asked with a smile; "Xiaoli, look at the coat on my body, does it fit well?"

"It fits perfectly. People also look very spiritual, and a tall person like you can wear it to reflect a slender figure and add a bit of handsomeness. Xiaoli looked at Fang Wei like an observer, she said.

"How much? I'll give it to you. Fang Wei took off his coat, took out the money, handed it to Xiaoli, and said.

Xiaoli saw that Fang Wei was resolute and insisted on giving money, she wanted to take a step back first, and then say, it was not a way to let people go, so she took the money and threw it on the bed, and said in a soft tone; "Okay, I can ask for money, but I can't collect it now, if I take the money, what will happen to your living expenses? How to spend the second half of the month? Have you thought about it? Well, it's better to wait for you to pay me later, what do you say? ”

Fang Wei felt that what Xiaoli said made sense, he really wanted to give Xiaoli the money in his pocket, and the living expenses in the second half of the month would not be settled, and it was time to go to the street to ask for food. So, he said; "That's fine, I'll give it to you when I pay my salary."

Fang Wei continued; "Wait a minute, I'll go out and buy some food, and I'll eat here at noon."

"No, I'm here to bring you clothes, and I still have something to do, so I can't stay longer, and I'm going to rush back soon. My parents are going to have a party with my old comrades-in-arms today, and I have to accompany them. ”

Xiaoli glanced at Fang Wei, paused, and continued; "Next week, I may have to go on a business trip, the time will not be too short, if you encounter any difficulties, you go to my parents at home, they will help."

Fang Wei sent Xiaoli outside the door, said a few words, and instructed Xiaoli; "When a person is away on a business trip, take care of your body and pay attention to safety."

Xiaoli drove away, he returned to the house, Fang Wei sat on the bed with his butt, scolded himself for being unreasonable, people sincerely buy clothes, don't think about other people's good, and make disrespectful remarks, which hurt Xiaoli's heart, what a wolf-hearted guy, it's not human.

Fang Wei leaned on the bed and thought about a lot of things about Xiaoli, her family is poor, Xiaoli can still treat herself sincerely like when she was a child, it is difficult for most girls to do it, Xiaoli is really a rare kind woman.

Fang Wei grew up in the countryside, with traces of small-scale peasant consciousness, his vision is too small, his mind is a little narrow-minded, his perspective is biased, and his own gains and losses are more considered.

Fang Wei asked himself, what can he lose by getting her care and care in his relationship with Xiaoli? Suddenly, he figured it out; All that is lost is low self-esteem and a sense of small-scale peasantry.

Fang Wei cleared his mind, in the future, show his manly spirit and try his best to show the sunny side in front of Xiaoli, that is the best reward for her.

Winter is coming, the winter in the south is very different from the north, at this time, the leaves of Fang Wei's hometown have fallen, the grass has withered, and it is about to snow.

Fang Wei thought of the small river in the south of his hometown, like a white silver chain, surrounding the foot of the mountain and stretching far to the west.

In the snow-capped Taihang Mountain, in the shade of the hillside, a few old pine trees, like lonely old men, stood in the fierce cold wind, looking so miserable and desolate.

And the southern mountains are green, the water is green, the trees are green, the grass is green, and the earth is covered with green. Although the outdoor temperature in Lingnan is mostly above freezing, the temperature is much wetter and colder than in the north. Fang Wei felt that the inside of the house was even colder than the outside, and the cold was piercing.

The coat that Xiaoli bought just came in handy, and Fang Wei wore it a lot warmer, looking energetic and handsome. His white face, with a light gray tweed coat, walked on the way to work, attracting the attention of many girls and children.

Fang Wei walked past several old men, raised his head and chest, and looked a little ambitious, and there were words of praise from behind him; "What a handsome young man, it's good to be young."

Fang Wei's income in Lingnan is more than that of his hometown, but compared with local consumption, the advantage of high income is offset by high prices.

Fang Wei's current economic situation is difficult to change in a short period of time, he pondered what method to use to make money, the more he thought about it, the more troubles it brought him, and for a few days, Fang Wei couldn't sleep all night.

Fang Wei thinks about making money all day long, and it is difficult to ask others, for fear of causing others to misunderstand. After thinking about it, I decided to observe carefully for a while, pay special attention to the colleagues around me, and see what they are busy with and what business they do.

After observing for a period of time, Fang Wei saw some eyebrows, and noticed that his colleagues were not like before, and it was difficult to get together after work to talk and laugh.

Recently, colleagues rarely chat together, and when it is time to get off work, they pack up their belongings and leave in a hurry, mysteriously, not knowing what they are busy with.

Fang Wei was a little curious, and decided to find someone to ask, standing at the gate of the factory after the evening shift, blocking his colleague Xiao Zhang, and asked; "What have you been up to lately? One goes faster than the other. ”

"Nothing busy?" Xiao Zhang replied.

"Don't lie to me, let's be honest, what the hell are you doing after work?" Fang Wei said.

Fang Wei kept asking, Xiao Zhang was a little weak-hearted, he didn't dare to look at him, his eyes drifted away, one foot kept paddling back and forth on the ground, tilting his head and not speaking.

"You turn your face and look at me. We have been together since we entered the factory, and we have a good relationship, so what do you need to hide from me? Fang Wei said with an unhappy look.

"Then I told you, you have to keep it secret, you can't talk nonsense everywhere, in case people know, it will cause trouble." Xiao Zhang saw that Fang Wei was unhappy, hesitated for a while, and muttered.

"You know me, and you don't go around talking nonsense. If you don't believe it, I can swear it, okay? Fang Wei replied.

"The relationship between the two of us, it's not necessary to swear. I'll tell you, I'll use my free time in the evening to buy some goods and start a little business. Xiao Zhang said squirmingly.

"What kind of small business do you want, can you be specific." Fang Wei asked.

Xiao Zhang felt that if he didn't explain it clearly to Fang Wei, it seemed that he couldn't leave, so he said in a mysterious tone; "Dump a little little thing and send it to your hometown, the price can be multiplied several times, and you can earn a lot of money at a time."

"What you said is too general, what is it, can you explain it a little bit?" Fang Wei asked.

"There are too many things in daily necessities, for example, used clothes from abroad, jewelry worn by women, cosmetics, electronic watches, etc., there are too many varieties, I won't talk about them one by one. It doesn't matter if the purchase channel is related or not, the price is different, and there is a difference between old customers and new customers. The price of a small batch is higher, and the price of a large batch is cheaper. Xiao Zhang replied.

At this time, it was the rush hour after work, and many acquaintances walked past them, Xiao Zhang was worried that someone would hear the conversation, so he hurriedly pulled Fang Wei to a secluded place away from the road.

Fang Wei is a big man, he doesn't understand the jewelry and cosmetics used by women, he heard that foreign old clothes are cheap, most of them are seventy or eighty percent new, and he has also heard of electronic watches, and thinks that these two kinds of business can be done, he said; "I can't do other businesses, so I can try some old clothes and electronic watches. Can you tell us a little bit about the purchase price? ”

"For example, electronic watches, if the quantity is small, it will be about five or six yuan, and if the quantity is large, it will be lower than this price." Xiao Zhang said.

"How much can an electronic watch be sold for when it is sent to your hometown?" Fang Wei asked.

"The wholesale in my hometown is about 20 yuan, and the retail sales are 40 or 50 yuan. If you're lucky, you can sell it for a hundred dollars. Xiao Zhang said.

Fang Wei was taken aback when he heard Xiao Zhang's introduction, such a big profit was almost like grabbing money. He had never seen a large amount of money, as if he had seen a piece of gold on the side of the road, and he could pick it up by walking a few quick steps. Fang Wei was very excited, and his heart was pounding.

"Tell me in detail, how to distinguish the batch size?" Then Fang Wei asked again.

"Distinguish by quantity, more than 500 pieces are small batches, and more than 1,000 pieces are large batches." Xiao Zhang replied.

"How did you get it?" Fang Wei asked eagerly.

"These old clothes and electronic watches are all smuggled goods, and you need an acquaintance to introduce you to get them, and I got them through a fellow countryman." Xiao Zhang said.

"You can't buy a cheap electronic watch without an acquaintance, can you?" Fang Wei said with some pause.

"You can do it without acquaintances, you can only buy second-hand goods, not to mention the high price, and the quantity is not guaranteed. There are no acquaintances with first-hand goods, who dares to sell them to you, in case they are caught, the goods are confiscated, not to mention, they will be fined, and if they don't get it right, they will enter the bureau, and if they lose their wife and soldiers, then the trouble will be big. Xiao Zhang said.

"How serious you say, no one cares about smuggling cars, and a few electronic meters are so strict, it's a little hard to figure out." Fang Wei said suspiciously.

"There are a lot of people who smuggle electronic watches, and it is common for peers to tear each other down and make black hands, and if they are accused, the consequences will be very serious." Xiao Zhang said.

After listening to Xiao Zhang's introduction, Fang Wei hesitated and didn't speak for a long time. Xiao Zhang looked at Fang Wei's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and said; "Are you okay? If not, I'll go first. ”

"It's nothing, you go, I'll just ask." Fang Wei pretended to be chatting and said nothing.

After Xiao Zhang left, Fang Wei stood still and didn't move, he didn't know what his mind was thinking, his heart was empty, and it wasn't until the car passing by him that he roared and screamed his horn that he moved his steps and walked in the direction of home.

Fang Wei walked very slowly, thinking about many questions along the way, thinking about how to do a small business if he had no deposit and no purchase channels.

The journey home became very long, and it took twice as long as usual. Fang Wei was tempted by the inverted haberdashery and high profits, and his heart became excited again.

Shuangwei thought about it, and figured out a clue, the purchase channel and money, he didn't have either, and he couldn't even get the most basic payment, and his heart was half cold.
