innocent year

After school on Friday, Qiushi drove all the way from school to the "National World Shopping Center" located at No. 33 Xiaoshihu, Xidan.

It is called a "shopping mall" in its good name, but it is actually a hypermarket converted from the former site of the National Mongolian and Tibetan School-mainly selling cheap fashion clothing, shoes and hats, supplemented by various popular gadgets.It is the favorite place for those young people who don't have much spare money but love to look good when they come to Xidan.

Qiu Shi got out of the car, walked to the door with a gold-lettered signboard on a green background, and then squeezed in with the flow of people.Since the official implementation of weekends last year, every weekend here is full of enthusiasm.

Qiu Shi in the crowd was much taller than the others, with a straight body and outstanding appearance, he could be called the most beautiful tree in the forest.From time to time, the surprise in the eyes of the girls jumped up, playing on his face to show his favor.It's just that the people who were watched didn't realize it, and were blinded by the glances.

In front of Xu Minghai's booth, it was the peak period of sales.He was forced to verbally fight against the Confucians.

"Brother, it's really cheap. I'm not the boss, so I just look at the stall. If it's cheaper for you, your salary will be gone. Drink the northwest wind at the end of the month?"——This is to deal with bargaining.

"Sister, I won't recommend the ordinary ones to you. Take a look at this one, it's for export to domestic sales." - This is when I met a picky customer.

"I can't try it. It's hard for me to turn around. How can I ask you to try on the dress?" Xu Minghai drank several sips of water in his busy schedule, and frowned, "Sister, why don't you take one?" Try the public toilet at the west entrance. If you are not satisfied, bring it back, and I will change it for you."

Hmm... this is the time to undress.

"Handsome guy, isn't there a curtain here? Just help me block it a bit. There are so many people in the toilet, if I bump into them inadvertently, don't you feel bad?" The girl sneered, "You Why are you so conservative?"

Xu Minghai rolled his eyes, and said to himself, brother, I'm an avant-garde, and I'll scare you to death if I say it!But at this time, a familiar voice came from the side.

"Let me hang the curtain for her. You can do your work."

After the accident three years ago, Qiu Shi asked the school to suspend her studies.The homeroom teacher and grade leader knew about his family's situation, and since he skipped grades at a very young age, it would not be a waste of time to suspend school for a year, so they only asked the "guardian" to agree to handle it on the application form.

Qiushi thought about it, and finally put the "guardian" hat on Master Jiu's head.

Master Jiu is getting older, although his body is still strong and he can take care of himself in life, but he becomes confused and does not recognize people more and more often.

Qiu Shi took the application form and mustered up the courage to recount the matter from beginning to end.The more he talked, the quieter the movement became, and he almost lost his voice in the end.But Lord Jiu was sober for a rare moment. He put his bulging hand on Qiu Shi's shoulder and sighed. Without saying or asking, he just waved his pen and recognized this "guardian".

And Xu Minghai also had a formal showdown with his parents, saying that he wanted to go directly to the sea to make money after graduation.

Li Yandong accepted that his son did not study at all.Anyway, graduating from high school was also a past education at the time.The east side is not bright and the west side is bright, but Xu Minghai is a business genius?Thinking about it this way, she didn't compete anymore.

Xu Minghai had the phone number of Chen Lei's supplier in Guangzhou, and later contacted him to explain the situation, and the other party was also very disappointed.For the sake of the lonely youngsters, they agreed to replace the "made goods" originally ordered with "big goods" of comparable value but relatively low-end.

When the goods were delivered, Xu Minghai, a minor with no money at the time, dared to drive Qiushi and bundles of clothes directly to the gates of various colleges and universities in Haidian District, set up the trunk and started to sell.

Xu Minghai is handsome because of his thick skin and eloquence, and besides a clothes rack responsible for collecting money, he immediately compares with the small vendors who sell woolen eggs, gloves and socks around him.

Small profits but quick turnover, low cost, strong flexibility, and immediate benefits.The only risk is being chased by the urban management on the street from time to time.So much so that it caused an indelible psychological shadow on the two of them, even when they saw a man in a gray uniform walking on the road, they instinctively wanted to slip away.

The business of "National Great World" was built with the help of a few aunts from the neighborhood committee.It is close to home, and the booth fee is also cheap.Although the grade is far inferior to the former Longfu Building, it is a serious "self-employed" to pay taxes to the country.

At this moment, the "self-employed" boss Xu had been looking forward to it for a day, and finally heard the voice of a certain high school senior.He turned his head and saw Qiushi appearing in front of the stall with his schoolbag on his back, and a thick layer of rock sugar scum immediately appeared on his sullen face.I almost stumbled the girl who was clamoring to try on the skirt.

"It's early enough today," Xu Minghai took the other's heavy schoolbag and put it aside, "Didn't you study at night?"

"Well, teacher is kind." Qiu Shi said, walked in and bent down to pick up the white cloth used to seal the door, raised his arm to block the girl, and then there was a rustling sound from inside.

"Have you all put on cotton clothes?" Qiushi looked down at the goods that had just arrived on the ground.

"According to the weather forecast, there will be rain in these two days," Xu Minghai sold two T-shirts while talking, "One autumn rain and one cold, it should be cold."

At this time, a food seller happened to pass by with a small cart, Xu Minghai hurriedly greeted his aunt, and then asked Qiu Shi, "What do you want to eat?"

Qiushi was honest and blunt: "I want to eat meat."

So Xu Minghai ordered four lunch boxes with meat dishes.

The girl inside finally changed her skirt and came out.She puffed her chest out and said, "Does it look good?"

"It's beautiful, it's a fairy coming down to earth." Xu Minghai was busy paying for the boxed lunch, without raising his head.

"Cut," the girl rolled her eyes back and asked Qiu Shi, "What do you think?"

Qiu Shi seriously commented: "It's quite temperamental, like Liu Ruoying in "Crazy for Love". "

The girl gasped: "Wow! You really have taste. I just like Liu Ruoying. I think she is very literary and artistic."

Xu Minghai hurried down the donkey: "Then wear it and go!"

These words hit the girl's heart, she nodded: "OK, I won't change it back, the boss will give me a bag."

Qiu Shi hurriedly helped her put on the changed trousers.The girl didn't even talk about the price, she paid the money very happily, picked up the bag and hummed, and left.

"You can do fruit," Xu Minghai said with a box of lunch, "I will use the three characters 'Liu Ruoying' as a compliment from now on. What is this guy doing? Singing or acting in movies?"

Qiu Shi took the lunch box: "Shuangqi."

"Understood, one earns two parts." Xu Minghai summed it up.

While the two were talking, it started to rain patter outside.It seems that the weather forecast was not fooled.

The "National Great World" has no roof, only a small number of densely packed bungalows.Pedestrians were doused by the rain and had nowhere to hide. They immediately fled in all directions, and a few minutes later there was nothing but mud on the ground.

"Hey, God really can't see me making money."

The sewer system here has always been worrying. While complaining to God, Xu Minghai piled up sandbags at the door with great experience, closed the door and hung the curtain behind his back.The market that was still hustle and bustle just now suddenly became extremely quiet, and the room was also darkened, only the sound of the rain was getting louder and pouring down.

The business couldn't be done for a while, so the two found some newspapers and sat down on the floor.Qiu Shi opened four white plastic foam lunch boxes, and the messy small room was immediately filled with the rich aroma of the food.

"That's good, we can have a solid meal." Xu Minghai broke off the disposable chopsticks for the other party, and rubbed the burrs on them, "It's been a day of class, are you hungry?"

"Well, I was hungry in the afternoon." Qiu Shi took a few mouthfuls of rice, then gnawed on the braised chicken leg, and said with a smile, "Boss Xu is so generous, he bought lunch boxes four by four."

Xu Minghai just looked at the wolf-eating people and worried: "Half-sized children eat me to death, how can it be good if it continues like this."

Qiushi raised his head and kissed Xu Minghai quickly with his oily mouth: "Then you can call me brother, I love you."

Xu Minghai blushed for no reason.This child is so annoying!

"Brother," Qiu Shi continued to put the food into his mouth, "Today the teacher told me about volunteering."

"So early?" Xu Minghai asked.

"I mentioned to her before that I wanted to go to Guangzhou for college. This year, the school happened to have a recommendation for X University, so Teacher Chen chatted with me."

Xu Minghai's heart skipped a beat: "What do you think?"

"The current situation...is different from before after all." Qiushi's eating speed gradually slowed down, "Your business is very stable, and you are close to home, so my uncles and aunts can rest assured. Besides, if I go to school in Beijing, Then you can apply for day study, and it is convenient to take care of Master Jiu."

That means not thinking about going to Guangzhou anymore, Xu Minghai nodded in agreement.

Compared with three years ago, Master Jiu's health has deteriorated rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.When I went to the hospital, the doctor said that there was nothing serious, but that I was "old".

The simple two words contain the melancholy of being powerless.Wouldn't it be great if people never died or aged?Forever young, always in love.

God is merciful to the world, and there is no white head.

While eating, Qiushi accidentally dropped the bone of the drumstick on his body.

Xu Minghai couldn't help but "tsk", said "what a slip of the tongue", put down the lunch box and helped the other party take off his coat.As a result, he shook it off, and a few small plastic bags fell out of his pocket.

Xu Minghai picked it up and looked at it, dumbfounded.

"No, fruit, you, what's in it, where did you get it?"

Qiu Shi tilted his head and looked at it, and said confidently: "Oh, when I reached the intersection just now, someone gave it to me."

"Walking on the road in broad daylight, someone stuffed a condom into your pocket?" Xu Minghai didn't believe it.

"It seems that the family planning office of the street is organizing an event. They provide it for free, and give it to anyone who sees it. I didn't ask for it." Qiushi bit the tip of his chopsticks and asked, "What happened to the distribution of condoms on the main road? Family planning is a basic national policy. Do you have any?" Opinion?"

"..." Xu Minghai said in his heart that he had learned the problems of going online and going online from whom.

Qiu Shi deliberately imitated the girl just now: "Why are you so conservative?"

Xu Minghai felt as if he had been stabbed with four words on his forehead: Remnants of feudalism.

Seeing that the other party didn't speak, Qiu Shi put the clean lunch box aside, then knelt and approached Xu Minghai, and asked in a slightly hoarse voice: "Then do you know how to use this?"
