How to transplant gardenias

At 05:30 next night, the sky began to get dark, and the last batch of dry food came out of the pan.The steamed bun shop at the mouth of Ruyi Hutong is still lined up neither long nor short.

One piece of white flour steamed bun, one piece of Lianghe noodle steamed bun, two pieces of whole wheat steamed bun, and two pieces of red bean bun.

The old neighbor who bought the steamed buns muttered, "Why has the price increased? So the steamed buns aren't eight cents?"

"The noodles have risen." Yue Fang simply packed two steaming big white steamed buns and handed them over, took a handful of steel coins and threw them into the money box.

"Not counting?"

"Need not."

"There's also a steamed bun shop on Sihe Street. They sell steamed buns for only seven cents, and there's no queue."

Yue Fang just didn't answer.

Someone urged from behind: "Hurry up, hey, there's food waiting for you."

There was a funny person, he laughed: "Then you went to Sihe Street to buy it, why did you come back here again?"

The old man's neck twitched: "I am willing! Can you control you!"

"Master, don't be impatient... Isn't this a joke..." The man found a step for himself.

"I'm teasing your grandma! What's wrong with the little young man?"

The aunt at the back smiled and smoothed things over: "It's better to have this steamed bun, or why do everyone buy it here... There are so many buns that you can't pick them up... Oops!" She exclaimed.

A dark and thin figure emerged from under the canopy.Hearing someone yell, the man yelled as if startled, then squatted down with his head in his arms, trembling like a house sparrow in the twelfth lunar month.

It's the homeless man on Jixiang Street.

No one knows where he came from or how long he has been wandering.He looked very dirty, so dirty that his face could no longer be seen, his hair was disheveled like unkempt grass, and he had a suspicious smell on his body.

The aunt caressed her chest: "Oh my god, where is a lunatic coming from?"

The people next to him pushed him out: "Go! Go! Don't come here!"

Immediately the filthy figure uttered an animal whimper and staggered away.

Yue Fang only said to the people in front of him: "How many?"

"Oh, oh..." The man came back to his senses: "Forty white steamed buns, two bean buns."

Yue Fang only packed dry food for him, and the last drawer on the table happened to be empty.He went back to the stove to lift the drawer.

A steamed bun is four and a half, and there are fifty steamed buns in a drawer, plus the weight of the stainless steel drawer, it weighs more than 30 catties in a drawer.Yue Fang lifted up the cage only slightly.The face fragrance with water vapor immediately lingered in the air.

He also picked up the few baskets left on the stove: "There are jujube steamed buns, one yuan and five for one."

"Why didn't you say it earlier." The person who asked for white steamed buns came back to his senses: "I want to bring jujube..."

"Then do you still want to be white?" Yue Fang only finally raised his head.He was born with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Although he has single eyelids, his eye sockets are quite deep, and he can give people a panic when he looks at people so casually.

"Yes, ten more jujubes." The man said hastily.

"I'll give you 41 white ones. A total of [-]." Yue Fang just smiled, and the panic-stricken energy disappeared again.He looked affable--there's nothing unfriendly in business.Neighbors commented on him as honest, less talkative and diligent.

The line at the back gradually grew, and people were still chatting: "It's really scary to look at a lunatic, and no one cares about it..."

"I've been able to see it for a while, so I don't want to stay here..."

"A while ago, there was one at the other end of the river, hacking two people to death."

"Crazy is not the same as crazy. That's Wu lunatic, I think this is Wen lunatic..."

"It's hard to say. I'm crazy, who knows what I can do..."

In the end, it was completely dark, and all the people who bought dry food left.There were two steamed buns left in the drawer.Yue Fang just took a lunch box and packed the steamed buns, planning to have breakfast tomorrow, and then packed up and closed the shop.

He looked at seven o'clock.In October, this northern city already has a harbinger of winter—as long as it gets dark, the wind becomes cold and hard.

Yue Fang just went to buy some vegetables as usual.When he reached the entrance of the alley, he subconsciously turned his head and took a look.The crazy tramp didn't come back, and he didn't know where he went.

After leaving the Ruyi Hutong, the bustling and bustling outside is rushing.

With the intersection of Ruyi Hutong as the boundary, Jixiang Street is divided into two sections.In the south there are morning markets and night markets, as well as many large and small restaurants—food and drink; in the north are places like bathing centers, big hotels, KTVs, and small theaters—for fun.In fact, Jixiang Street is neither wide nor new, and many of the houses are old buildings from the 80s and [-]s—there are many similar streets in the center of the old city.But in terms of popularity, Jixiang Street is the first in the neighborhood.

People walked into the bustle, and the weather seemed to be getting a little warmer.He walked from one end of the night market to the other, and then back from the other end, with several bags of fruits and vegetables in his hands.

After finishing a large portion of casserole pancakes at Tongxiangju, a time-honored brand, Yue Fang just wandered back with his things slowly.

When I was about to reach the intersection, I heard the shop that sells stir-fry cursing people.There are a few idlers watching the excitement, and everyone has a look of relish.

Yue Fang only took a closer look, and it was that tramp again.The waiter at Xiaochao shop was whipping him with a broom.After hearing it, it turned out that it was the trash can in front of someone's door, and the trash can was overturned.The customer came out and stepped on the garbage and fell, and turned to the store to argue.The shopkeeper vented his anger on that person.

The homeless man curled up into a small ball, held his head, and was beaten silently.

Yue Fang just couldn't see it, so he walked over and stopped him: "Forget it, he's an idiot."

The waiter was a stunned young man who beat people crazy, and said to Yue Fang, "Get out, it's none of your business!" As he said that, he wanted to bypass Yue Fang.This is not easy, Yue Fang is only tall and strong, standing there, like an iron tower.

Seeing that the waiter was unrecognizable, his face darkened, and he reached out to catch the broom that was being swung towards him.

At this time, the shop owner popped up out of nowhere: "That's all, all right, let's clean it up first." Then he shouted at the crowd: "What are you looking at? Hurry up and leave!"

The waiter put down the broom resentfully.

The people around dispersed, Yue Fang just walked back.The homeless man limped after him.Yue Fang didn't turn his head, just rubbed his teeth secretly, thinking: "Fuck, it's stained again."

When he was approaching the door of the shop, he couldn't bear to turn his head back: "Can you stop staying here and delay my business. Hurry up, go back and forth wherever you are."

The homeless man lowered his head and turned around on the ground, and started whimpering.Yue Fang didn't understand a single word, he was silent for a moment, and finally went back to the shop and locked it with a snap.

The tramp appeared here about half a month ago.It can't be said whether it is a mental or intellectual problem, anyway, it is definitely not a healthy person in that way.At first no one paid him any attention.People's hearts are cold these days, if you can't take care of yourself, how can you care about others.

Furthermore, the two ends of Jixiang Street are all the first-class streets.In this kind of place, the urban management brigade goes back and forth many times a day, and sooner or later they have to take care of it.There is no need for others to follow suit.

The homeless man was born thin and small, with long hair, at first glance he looked like a woman.There was an old bachelor on Jixiang Street, who had a bad idea, and tried to keep him busy in the back street in the middle of the night.As a result, the bad thing didn't work out, and the tramp ran too fast.The old bachelor was eager to catch someone, so he stepped into the pit and hit his head on the curb.This person is also strange, after waking up because he couldn't hold his breath, he actually reported the crime, saying that the homeless man beat him.

The police station arrested the homeless man and questioned them, but they didn't find out anything—crazy and stupid.Fortunately, there are businesses around here, and many shops have surveillance cameras at the entrances.After watching the surveillance, the film policemen thought to themselves, well, you old hooligan, you are pitiful enough, how can you bring such a bully.So they interrogated with threats and scares.The old bachelor couldn't hold on, so he made all the moves.

Now everyone's jaws are a little bit out of place.One last discussion, let's follow the law and order regulations.Although he only groped his butt and it was a man, he was sent to the police station, so he had to follow the regulations.So three times, five times and two times, the old bachelor was locked up.

But it was not closed for a few days.Firstly, the circumstances were minor, secondly, the victim did not say a word, and thirdly, this old bastard had already had his head smashed.So it was closed for a while, and after the criticism and education, it was released.

As for the tramp, he didn't do anything bad, and he was such a person who couldn't take care of himself.It stands to reason that it is time to contact the rescue station at this time.As soon as he called the rescue station, he ran away from the police station without a sound.

The homeless man disappeared for days.Some people said they saw him in the park, others said they saw him at the entrance of the foreign fast food restaurant on the south side of Jixiang Street.As for the way of life, everyone said it was very consistent—it was still the same, living off the leftovers in the trash can.

The final outcome is also very consistent, he was kicked out by someone-whether it was a park ranger or a fast-food restaurant server.

Then he appeared in Ruyi Hutong.

There was no trash can at Yue Fangzhi's door, and the homeless man was not on his side at first.This person is like a small animal, except for digging food in the trash can, he just sits huddled and stupid.

Yue Fang had no choice but to deliver dry food to the porridge shop early in the morning. When passing by him, the motorcycle was bumped by the potholes, and the incubator at the back was covered.A few rolls fell out and rolled right to the tramp's feet.Just as he was about to get out of the car and close the box, the homeless man picked up the flower roll and handed it to him timidly.

Yue Fang didn't care about the few dry rations, he could steam hundreds of them in one stove.It just dropped, and he didn't even think about picking it up.

That's when he saw the man's eyes for the first time.

Big and black, the inside and outside corners of the eyes are pointed, and they are indescribably delicate.It's just that there is no focal length, as if he is not looking at Yue Fangzhi, but looking at something in the void.

Yue Fang just didn't answer.He moved forward again, his thin arms stretched out flat, a little trembling.

Yue Fang just said in a low voice: "No more, you can keep it to eat." It's not because he is so soft-hearted, it's mainly because the dry food is covered with dirt and dust, so it can't be sent to other people's stores anymore.

As a result, the other party wanted to put the dry food back in the box as if he couldn't understand the words.

Yue Fangzhi hurriedly stopped him: "No, no. Hey, what's the matter with you? Can't you understand?"

It may be that his voice was raised, and the tramp shivered.The dry food rolled down again, fell to the ground, and rolled into the small mud pit next to it.The poor man squatted down with his head in his arms.

Yue Fang just wiped his face, mocking himself in his heart: What are you fussing about with a fool.He took two more flower rolls from the box, wrapped them in oiled paper, and put them at the homeless man's feet: "Eat them."

After finishing speaking, he got on his motorcycle and left - he had to go back to sell steamed buns after delivering the dry food.
