Miserable! It's miserable!

Su Nianxing's footsteps were vain, walking on the streets of Causeway Bay in a daze, passing by the endless stream of pedestrians, she hadn't eaten for three days, she was dizzy with hunger, and everything in front of her was a phantom. When she fell headlong to the ground, this was the only thought that popped into her mind.

She is Su Nianxing from 2023, 28 years old, her grandfather is the first batch of nouveau riche to get rich in the reform and opening up, and her father will carry forward her grandfather's career and directly list the company. In her generation, she is the only girl, she has no ambition and chooses to lie down directly, and becomes a rich third generation who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. If she only spends 200,000 yuan in pocket money every month, her father will praise her for being diligent and thrifty.

Her parents are loving, she hasn't blushed for decades, her friends are either rich or expensive, she grew up in a honey pot since she was a child, and she has not experienced wind and rain. Probably even God couldn't get used to her living too well, and threw her into the nineties, where she was dressed as a penniless smuggler who might be sent back to the mainland by Sir anytime and anywhere.

The original body is also called Su Nianxing, only 20 years old this year, a native of Sichuan Province, her father married her to an upstart for a bride price of 5,000 yuan without her consent. The nouveau riche did have money on hand, but he was a few years older than her father, and his children were already married. The original body was unwilling, but the temptation of a bride price of 5,000 yuan was too great, and her father forced her to agree.

Ali, who happened to go to Xiangjiang to work, returned to her hometown and learned from the other party that she had seen her mother in Xiangjiang, so she smuggled to Xiangjiang with Ali. Now Xiangjiang is too strict in checking smugglers, they are swimming the river, and the two of them were washed away by the river in the middle of the road, and the original body was drowned by the water because of its poor water nature, and Su Nianxing passed through it at this time. The instinct for survival made her tread water, and by the time she finally climbed ashore from the river, she was exhausted.

She sat by the river to sort out her thoughts, and it was reasonable that she should go back, but she really didn't have the courage to swim back again, and after careful consideration, she decided to stay in Xiangjiang for the time being.

The first is to go to Causeway Bay to find his mother according to the original body's wishes.

The second is that she earns some capital in Xiangjiang. She definitely can't go back to Sichuan Province, then she will be sold by her original father again. She's going to start from scratch like her grandfather. And this first pot of gold was earned from Xiangjiang. In 1990, the salary of ordinary employees in Xiangjiang was 4,000 Hong Kong dollars, while Pengcheng was only three or four hundred yuan, and the Hong Kong dollar at this time was still worth more than the yuan, and the salary was more than ten times worse. She only needs to work in Xiangjiang for a year before she can go back to Pengcheng to open a store. It's okay if she doesn't have a Pengcheng hukou, as long as she has money, she can apply for a temporary residence permit.

She has a good plan, but her ideals are plump, but the reality is very skinny. She doesn't know Cantonese, and she doesn't have a Xiangjiang hukou, so in this unfamiliar place, the official place refuses to use her. She can only work in the dark, the income is very low, she can only sleep in the shop at night to work on the floor, during which she met a squinting shopkeeper who wanted to insult her, she beat the shopkeeper severely, and even didn't care about the salary, and fled in the middle of the night, so she fled to Causeway Bay.

But before she could find her mother, she fainted in the street.

In the fog, she noticed that someone was tapping her on the shoulder, and shouted loudly in her ear, "Ma's pigtail sister? Pigtails? ”

Pigtails? Su Nianxing's body trembled, although she did wear two braids, this title still made her a little uncomfortable.

When I opened my eyes again, I saw an old face like dead tree bark, this was an old woman, sixty or seventy years old, with her body bent, her loving eyes full of worry, and her mouth was in authentic Cantonese, "Are you okay?" ”

Su Nianxing didn't know Cantonese, but she could probably guess what the other party meant, smiled at her, and subconsciously replied in Mandarin, "I'm fine." ”

As soon as the words came out, she regretted it, and now she can't reveal that she is a mainlander, in case the other party tells the police that she will be sent back directly without a Hong Kong and Macao permit.

The old woman did not seem to see her look of chagrin, but carefully helped her to her feet, and handed her a roasted sweet potato with a trembling hand, the aroma of the food aroused her taste buds. She couldn't wait to take it and took a bite before thanking the other party.

The food was so fragrant that she didn't look good at it, but the old woman looked at her and smiled, afraid that she would choke and handed her a cup of hot water.

This cup is plastic, but the cute and loving girl fan, I didn't expect the old woman to use such a childish cup, she took it and thanked her.

With food in his stomach, Su Nianxing had the leisure to look around, this is a street market, behind the market is a forest of high-rise buildings, and there is a sense of oppression that goes straight into the sky. The streets are lined with paved surfaces and surrounded by pedestrians, a denser population density than the capital thirty years later. And the place where she was around the corner, and there were several vendors setting up their stalls. One of them is roasted sweet potatoes, and I think she bought the sweet potatoes she just ate from this house.

As for the old woman who doesn't sell things, she is responsible for divination for people, and the configuration is also very simple, and a gossip chart is laid out on the rectangular table, on which a lottery holder is placed, and she is responsible for divining good fortune and evil. But no one has taken care of the business for so long, and Su Nianxing has reason to suspect that this old lady's divination level is very average.

The old woman was in a difficult situation, just look at the clothes she was wearing. Su Nianxing is embarrassed to eat and drink for nothing and take advantage of the old man, but she is penniless now, even if she wants to help the other party shout and attract guests, she is really like a waste who can't even speak Cantonese.

A wry smile appeared at the corner of Su Nianxing's mouth, and when the old woman saw that she didn't speak, she took the initiative to comfort her, "It's okay." The boat is naturally straight to the bridge, and I don't know a word of Cantonese when I first came to Xiangjiang, don't you think I'm pretty good now? ”

Su Nianxing looked at the old woman in shock, the other party actually spoke Mandarin, could it be that she is also a mainlander?

The old woman saw her face full of surprise, and she also laughed, "I realized that the situation in the mainland was wrong in 66 years, and I smuggled into Xiangjiang, and it only took half a year to learn Cantonese." You're so young, you're sure you'll be able to learn it as soon as you get it. ”

Su Nianxing is not worried about not being able to learn Cantonese, as long as she throws people into that environment, even in order to survive, she will be able to learn that language quickly. But she doesn't have a hukou and can't find a normal job here, so can she be sent back? But she has no money, and she doesn't have a Pengcheng account, so she can't stay for a few days, right?

Su Nianxing handed the drinking glass to the old woman, and the backs of the two hands inevitably rubbed together, and suddenly a very short image appeared in front of her eyes: the lively square was crowded, and the old woman was holding the hand of a five-year-old girl who was squeezing into the crowd to watch the lion dance performance......

As soon as her hands touched away, the image disappeared, but Su Nianxing was in turmoil, and subconsciously raised her hand to look, what was the picture she just saw?

She subconsciously looked at the old woman and asked tentatively, "Do you have a granddaughter?" ”

At that little girl's age, she can only be a granddaughter or a granddaughter.

The old woman was stunned, looked down at the water cup, there were cute stickers on it, this is the water cup that her granddaughter bought for her, and the decal is also her work, thinking of her granddaughter, she couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips, "Yes, I have a granddaughter." ”

Su Nianxing chased after her and asked her if she had taken her granddaughter to watch the lion dance performance.

This time the old woman no longer smiled, but took a little scrutiny, her rickety back was also straightened by two points, frowning and looking at the girl in front of her, the lion dance could not be seen in the water cup, how did she guess?

When Su Nianxing saw her expression, she understood that she had guessed correctly, and a storm was set off in her heart, she actually had a special function. She could see a person's life by shaking hands, and God really treated her well, closed the door for her, and opened a window for her.

She suddenly became annoyed again, this is 1990, if it is 2023, she can gain thousands of fans through live webcasts, now? She probably can only make money by setting up a stall and telling fortunes.

She looked up and smiled at the old woman, "I figured it out." ”

Whether the old lady believes it or not, she has to explain it like this, after all, she still has to borrow the old woman's hexagram stall to make money, she looked at the old woman's expression and tried her best to persuade the other party, but the old woman suddenly held her arm and asked, "Then do you know where she is?" ”

Su Nianxing was stunned for a moment and shook her head, this picture was obviously something that happened in the past, and she had no way to identify where her granddaughter was now. She just wanted to hold her hand and look more closely, but the old woman's expression suddenly changed, her body trembled, her eyes were frightened, oh no, the other party was looking behind her, to be exact.

Su Nianxing turned around and saw a group of people rushing over the lively street, all of them wearing leather jackets, cigarettes in their mouths, and tattoos faintly showing on their chests and wrists. They came in a hurry, and passers-by automatically gave way to them.

Looking at their fierce expressions, Su Nianxing suddenly remembered the classic scenes of Hong Kong dramas he had watched in his previous life.

As if to verify what she said, the tall man in the lead punched the hexagram stall and said fiercely to the old woman, "Ah Xiangpo, this month's protection fee!" ”

Ah Xiangpo trembled and took out the money wrapped in a handkerchief from her jacket pocket and handed it over, her old face was obviously embarrassed and uneasy, and she looked at him beggingly, "Ah Qiang, the old woman is useless, and she has only earned so much money this month." Please be okay and let me continue to set up my stall here. ”

After the tall man uncovered the layers of handkerchiefs, he saw that there were only about 100 Hong Kong dollars in it, so he was so angry that he threw the money directly on the ground, kicked over the hexagram table, and the sticker fell to the ground.

The tall man didn't seem to be angry, and grabbed the old woman, his eyes were bigger than cowbells, "If you can't pay the protection fee, don't occupy a position." This piece is a treasure of feng shui, you occupy the pit and don't, who will bear my loss?! ”

Ah Xiangpo couldn't breathe in pain, and she didn't forget to plead in her mouth, "Ah Qiang, I'm going to stay here and wait for my granddaughter, I'm leaving, she shouldn't be able to find me." You're doing well. ”

"Let me do it, okay? What do our brothers eat and drink! The tall man was unmoved.

Su Nianxing never expected these old boys to be so arrogant, even if they collected protection money, they still dared to be rude, she stood up and grabbed the other party before the tall man threw the old woman, and made sure that the other party was okay before she spoke, "Please give us three days, and we will definitely pool the money to pay you back." ”

Like this kind of old boy who dares to collect protection money, they are all gangsters who are stained with human life, Su Nianxing is a person who knows the times, she has no strength to fight against the other party, and she doesn't dare to go to the police, and the way she can think of is to help Ah Xiangpo earn money and pay protection money.

If she had to worry about eating and drinking before today, but now that she has a golden finger, she may be able to make up enough in three days.
