Chapter 001 [Shish Kebab Hawker] (This chapter is free)
Zhonghai City‘s Western District farmers’ market, hustle and buses of pedestrian vehicles, unforgettable shuttle in the evening. On the ground where vegetable leaf sewage flows, various paint shop signs withered, and occasionally there are several monotonic neon lights already flashing. The workers who went home, the children who left school, the elderly who bought vegetables, and the various passers-by who were dusty all made the gray sky even more dull.
Maybe in such an international metropolis, such a block is like the most despised own stain in people’s hearts, only hope that it never appears.
A person near a cross wall, but a person is leisurely doing things that are not glorious to others.
This is a young man selling lamb skewers. He is wearing a white vest with greasy and black spots all over his body. Below is a pair of large brown pants, stepping on double dull blue plastic slippers.
The young man ’s hair is a bit messy, but a slightly older, handsome face is still upright, and if you look closely, you still have the taste of a man. It is a pity that no matter what his appearance is, girls walking on the street will not look at him more because he is only a lamb skewer.
Young people put a few skewers of freshly grilled meat aside. The weather is hot and easy to grill, but it is difficult to sell. Although two cents of already are cheap, they earn ten for the whole day. A few dollars, just enough for two meals.
However, the young man’s face was not very depressed, but with a silky contented and leisurely expression, he sat on the small bench behind him and looked at the busy and anxious scene in front of him. This scene seems to be the most beautiful The scenery is average.
“Old Li, it’s time to hand in the money promised the other day!” A male duck’s neck-like voice appeared abruptly.
Three boys who appeared to be under twenty were walking, dressed up and flowing, with their heads erected, silver metal chains hanging, jeans dug several holes, and their face was a bit thin. There was still a cigarette in his mouth.
Old Li is a hawker selling fried snacks. It’s right next to young people. Similarly, there is no business on a hot day, and you are sitting and worrying.
“This …” Old Li faced bitterly, “My little master, please take care of yourself. Looking at the hot days, how can I pay money without business …”
“I said Old Li, don’t give shame to your face, if we had Brother Feng covering you here, your stall would have been demolished.” A younger follower threatened to slap his tongue again.
The hooligan called Brother Feng looks very proud. He grinned and patted the little flattering man, and rushed to Old Li. “Today’s protection fee, you can give it or not, I must get the money, otherwise, I’ll lift your stall now! “After that, he picked up a bunch of ham sausages, took a big sip, and threw the remaining half to the ground.
Old Li couldn’t do anything, and held on to the small stack of paper money in oneself‘s pocket. He planned to use it like that. That was the money for his wife to see a doctor for medicine. How could he bear to be so respectful? ?
“I’ll help him give it.” The young man selling lamb skewers came over suddenly, took out a few dry banknotes from the pockets of his pants, and they didn’t add up to more than a hundred dollars, handed them up, no Xianbu said, “It’s just like that, Old Li is old and eager to spend money. You should also accumulate some virtues.”
hooligan squinting chuckled, reached out and took the few banknotes to the younger brother behind him, “Yang Chen, you still have to pretend to be a good person. Your own protection fee has not been paid yet!”
Yang Chen frowned, I feel these little guys in my heart, I am not good at reading at a young age, why do I become gangster, but oneself is not their father, so I do n’t want to say much, and I do n’t want to provoke right and wrong, indifferently said said: “Tomorrow , Pay tomorrow. “
“Okay, I’m not unreasonable. Everyone cooperates well. I protect your business. You give me money. It’s justified … I’ll pick it up tomorrow.” After that, hooligan swayed with two attendants. The scourge of small stall went elsewhere.
Old Li has long red eyes at this moment, looking at Yang Chen with a bit of agonized, “Little Yang, why are you doing this? You always help me to pay for those dog legs, how can I pass in my heart …”
“Old Li, don’t say that. When I first came here, I was unfamiliar. If it weren’t for you, I don’t have half a talking friend. You are my benefactor, and when I repay you. “
“You guy … what do you say …” Old Li seems to know that he can’t but Yang Chen, and can only sigh silently.
Yang Chen carelessly smiled, he smiled very lightly, but really, was not affected by the extortion just now, “By the way, how is your wife’s illness.”
Old Li‘s eyes are full of gratitude, “Thank you for borrowing my money a while ago to give my wife an operation. Now I just need to check more and take some medicine.”
“Oh, that’s good, I wish her an early recovery.” Yang Chen satisfied nodded.
Old Li smiled bitterly, “Little Yang, if you borrow my money, I will definitely pay you back. If I don’t know what it is to die, I will let my daughter pay you back … oh, if it wasn’t for me, your 100,000 For a few bucks, I can definitely open a good store, which can be used to sell mutton skewers, and also suffer from those hooligan. “
Yang Chen poked his lips, “I really like these days, selling lamb skewers is also good, simple can mix a few meals again.”
“I said you …” Old Li said some depressedly said: “Little Yang, you are also 23-24 years old. If you are a young guy at this age, do you want to go to college or climb up? You are now even a girlfriend No, do n’t you plan to sell mutton kebabs like this all the time? You are not in a hurry, I am all anxious to watch. “
When I saw Old Li‘s true feelings as oneself * heart, Yang Chen unconsciously showed a little agonized in the corners of his mouth. oneself was not anxious, but he didn’t even think about those.
After the night fell, Yang Chen cleaned up the stalls and pushed the wheelbarrow back to the run-down apartment rented by oneself.
This is a small building that I do n’t know how many years. The monthly rent only needs one hundred, which is so cheap because no one lives. Yang Chen does not bear the heart collapse like other people. Stayed in.
Yang Chen‘s house is decorated with simple. Almost all of them are used goods, beds, cabinets, chairs, and a TV that only the central Television Station can watch.
After pushing the small stall thing into the own cabin, Yang Chen glanced at the wall calendar. After thinking about the next day, when I suddenly remembered something, I ran into the toilet immediately.
Within five minutes, I took a cold shower, and walked out of the bathroom with Yang Chen in his body. His skin was healthy wheat, his lines were well-balanced, and each muscle was not very conspicuous. But if I look closely, I can feel a The hidden masculine sense of beauty.
Walking to the large wooden cabinet by the bed, Yang Chen scratched the wet hair distressedly, looked at the messy clothes inside, and after choosing a few, finally put on a beige shirt and wore it underneath With thin linen pants, the plastic slippers were still on the feet.
After going out, Yang Chen went all the way to the most prosperous commercial street of Western District, which was also the only street where the run-down Western District was able to handle, and it was called “Bar Street”.
Glittering nightlife is already pervasive. The colorful hem of the skirt, with a variety of perfumes, enters the bar street, and the urban atmosphere sweeps through.
Yang Chen did not bluntly spit on the thighs of the white-bloomed woman on the street like other young people, but went straight to the door of a bar called “ROSE”.
The neon signs in the bar are not very dazzling, only middle-grade-sized bars show a bit ambiguous Aura, colorful rose-like lights dotted on the billboards.
After entering the bar, Yang Chen familiarly walked along to the bar counter, and sat down against the corner.
“Brother Chen, you are here.” The young bartender in a black suit and vest saw Yang Chen, showed a warm smile, and sent a glass of water, “Sister Qiangwei has been waiting for you for a long time.”
Yang Chen smiled at him, took a glass and sipped, “Sister Qiangwei doesn’t have angry/vitality, I’m going home a bit late, so I’m late.”
“not angry not angry“, a few pimples on Little Zhao‘s round face seemed to be laughing, and the whispered to Yang Chen: “Brother Chen, teach me when you have time, how can you even soak up our Sister Qiangwei? Want to know that the men who are interested in our boss in Zhonghai City can be ranked from Western District to the estuary. I have n’t seen our boss so interested in a man for so many years. But now, I just ask you if you come, today Have asked me no more than five times … “
“Don’t talk nonsense, Sister Qiangwei and I don’t have as many things as you think …” Yang Chen resigned helplessly.
Little Zhao has an expression of “I don’t believe in killing”, and then sighs again, “Well … Brother Chen, to be honest, you are really homeless. You can soak in the outstanding beauty like our boss wife, which man It ’s not sticky every day. It ’s just you, so rare to come here, and let the beauty wait for you. Otherwise, it ’s the best to say what you ca n’t get. This is also applicable to women … “
While Little Zhao was exaggerating, a charming but dignified graceful voice came from behind him, “Little Zhao, how many more can you deduct from your salary?”
Little Zhao seemed to be passed through the body by electric current, and was suddenly stupid. Once he passed away, he flickered to the side and continued to pretend to mix the drinks seriously, as if nothing had happened, but his cold sweat of forehead showed his heart Timidity.
A modern full-colored cheongsam, vaguely **** from the slit to the thigh roots, full **** and beautiful waist, paired with the face which is like a well-carved porcelain, shoulder-length with a few lavender beautiful hair, is such a human-like young woman in the painting, the models came to Yang Chen.
Yang Chen smiled at the corner of the eye, and looked at the woman without embarrassment, saying sincerely: “Sister Qiangwei, you are so beautiful, I wish you a happy birthday.”
