Fake Slackers

"The next stop is Heishui Street. Passengers who want to get off, please prepare to get off through the back door."

The bus departed from the outskirts of city B, circled a small half circle and slowly turned into the commercial street. The street extended in all directions and was crowded with pedestrians.

The voice announcer pronounced this line of words in a correct accent, which is different from the usual Mandarin. It sounds like a machine imitation, and even the increase in the ending sound is deliberate.

Xie Yu sat in the corner of the last row and turned his head to look at the hot sunlight outside the window.

I feel that the temperature of the air conditioner in the car is too low, and I feel hot.

The bus was originally driving slowly, but now it was surrounded by people on all sides, and its speed dropped directly to that of an old-fashioned car. It happened to hit a red light, and the long body shook violently for a while, before slowly stopping.

Xie Yu held the phone and waited for the other party to answer the call while looking out the window.

The phone beeped several times and finally connected, a familiar and noisy voice came out, followed by a woman's voice, her voice was louder, covering the chaos directly, bold and a little hoarse, I don't know who I was arguing with .

"Who knows when the six truckloads will arrive, there is no certainty, and those grandchildren push back and forth all day long."

"Sometimes it says tomorrow, another day the day after tomorrow, and the time changes endlessly, and finally they just tell me that they don't know...fuck it."

Xie Yu calmly listened to the woman yelling.

"Damn it! Don't even dare to answer the phone now, play with me and disappear. I don't go out to inquire about the thing that is pulled out of the ass of the bitch. No one in Heishui Street dares to provoke me Xu Yanmei."

Seeing that the swearing became more and more ugly, as if he could shout an [-]-word essay without pausing, Xie Yu reminded the other party: "Aunt Mei."

All swear words are instantly silenced.

Xu Yanmei waved her hands at the others, shut her mouth, even snuffed out the cigarette stuck between her fingers without hesitation, and pressed it against the corner of the table.He also pointed to the phone that was accidentally connected on the table, indicating that the 'six-carriage untimely shipment crusade meeting' could be adjourned.

After she finished pinching her cigarette, she retracted her long legs straddling the crude desk, her tone was a gentleness that no one else had ever heard, and she was simply not the same person as the two-ton lunatic with foul language just now.

"We got together to chat casually during our lunch break. It's nothing to do, just having fun. Life is so ordinary, and occasionally swearing is good for the mood..."

Xie Yu didn't expose it, he just asked, "What about smoking, is smoking good for your health?"

Xu Yanmei smelled of nicotine all over her body, she opened her eyes and talked nonsense, thinking that this brat couldn't get out of the phone anyway: "I didn't smoke, I quit after you didn't let me smoke, hey, don't mention this to me Dumb, mention it to me, I am afraid that I will relapse into smoking addiction, so it can’t stimulate me.”

Pretending to be quite similar, whoever stimulates who.

Xie Yu listened to her old smokey voice that was getting worse and worse—it was only when she was swearing that this voice suddenly became clear, and she could tell whether the words were true or not with her toes.

"Let's go on vacation. A while ago, I heard from your mother that you finished the last exam of No. 20, and you didn't reply to the messages I sent you."

Xu Yanmei continued to change the subject and said, "How did you do in the exam? I searched for the sentences on the Internet for a long time before I found them. Those sentences are all well-written. When I was looking for them, I almost vomited."

-Do not hesitate in the face of examination papers, do your best to get good grades, let your dreams set sail in the examination room, and let your life swim in the ocean of knowledge!Little brat, come on for the exam!

Xie Yu also didn't know why he could recite this text message verbatim, which was nothing new, it looked like a wholesale quotation, and it didn't fit the aesthetics of modern teenagers at all.

The bus just entered the tunnel, blocking the scorching light outside, and the surrounding things went dark.

Xie Yu was originally dressed in black, but at this moment his whole body was hidden in the darkness. He leaned back, stretched his two long legs that were barely shrunk together due to lack of space, and casually smiled: "Then you are still looking for it. It's not like you don't know my grades. What do you want me to tell you back? Thank you for your encouragement, and try not to be the last one?"

After less than 2 minutes of rest, someone on the side of Comrade Xu Yanmei, a sister of Heishui Street, yelled again: "This is a black shop, right? It's also a wholesale market. The price is so high, it's clearly a scam."

"...What did you say?" Being interrupted, Xu Yanmei couldn't hear Xie Yu's answer clearly, "It's too fucking loud, and a bunch of idiots are here to smash the store, so I'll go buy a loudspeaker tomorrow, I still don't believe it I can't hold back these grandchildren."

Xie Yu tightened his grip on the phone slightly, and the words spun around his mouth twice, but finally he didn't say anything: "It's nothing."

"I saw the text message. I was busy reviewing and forgot to reply."

"Okay, okay, although our grades are a little bit worse, but don't be discouraged, you can't admit defeat until the last moment, no one is afraid of anyone, right?"

As Xu Yanmei spoke, her voice became louder again, she covered the receiver, and yelled at the few customers who insisted on cheating: "...What are you doing? Don't stick around here!"

The front of the car got out of the tunnel mouth, and a large swath of sunlight came in again, all the way down the front of the car and onto the rear of the car.

Xie Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, seeing the familiar scenery outside the window, he knew that he was almost at the stop.

Today is Monday, the third day of summer vacation, and it is also a working day.There are not many people in the car.

A few students were sitting in the front row. The girls wore ponytails, and when they went out to play, they carried their schoolbags very well, and their clothes were white.

Although Heishui Street is called a commercial street, the price of goods is not high, and it can't match the word prosperous. The street construction is considered poor in the suburbs, and the buildings are dilapidated.But this cheap living culture has attracted many people without high spending power, especially middle and high school students.

Xie Yu stared at the glass pendant on the girl's hair band, which was transparent and still had a little pink in it, shining through the light.

"Here we are, ready to get off." The girl flicked her ponytail and got up while holding onto the pole. "This is where I ate fried rice cakes last time. I'll take you there."

at the same time--

"Heishui Street South Station is here. Passengers who are about to get off, please get off through the back door. Thank you for your cooperation."

The car stopped slowly, and the moment the door opened, a wave of heat and hot wind rushed in from the door.

Xu Yanmei thought she had heard it wrong: "You son of a bitch, where are you? Why did I hear the station call Blackwater Street?"

Xie Yu got up and got out of the car: "Comrade Xu Yanmei, I still have 10 minutes to get to the gate of Guangzhou Trade Center. You should think about how to get rid of the smell of cigarettes on your body, how to explain to me, and how you told me in the past. I promise. Hold your head up and come to me."

Xu Yanmei looked back at the cigarette butts in the ashtray on the desk: "..."

"Sister Mei, what's wrong, why is your face so sad?"

Xu Yanmei pushed open the door and went out, rolled up her sleeves and went into the warehouse to help the shopkeepers work together: "Don't mention it, I'm so worried."

Xu Yanmei runs a clothing wholesale market on Heishui Street. She started the clothing business more than ten years ago. At the beginning, she set up a stall with a few little sisters at the corner of the street. There are two floors in the Guangmao Building in the center of Heishui Street-there are hundreds of small shops gathered in these two floors, forming such a "wholesale market".

As the proprietress of the wholesale market, Sister Mei is well-known in Heishui Street.It is also a resounding sense of righteousness, a hero among women.

"Really sad? Why do I feel that the smile on the corner of your mouth is almost unstoppable." One of the shopkeepers said.

Xu Yanmei said: "What nonsense, by the way, do you have any perfume or something, spray it on for me, Xiao Yu'er will be here soon, I smell like smoke all over my body, if he catches me, I'm sure I'll tell you all about it."

The shopkeeper stood up and patted the ashes on his trouser legs: "So it's your precious son, look at how scared you are...I have the perfume, I'll go find it for you."

"Can you not be afraid? Our little Yu'er is a good boy." Xu Yanmei's voice was very low when she said this. With strength in her hand, she used a knife to cut open a bag of bundled rope, and said to herself, "I can't take him down."

"...It's not her own, she just recognizes her as her godson."

"What a good boy? My son is in the same class as Xie Yu. He's a thorn in the side. His grades are not bad. No one in the class dares to sit at the same table with him. He seems to be the boss of some kind of school. It's just Sister Mei. When he holds it like a baby, he doesn't even swear in front of him."

"I heard that he still cheated in the high school entrance examination. Otherwise, with his grades, he would have passed the entrance examination. Although No. [-] Middle School is not a good school, the Pu Gao at the bottom is also a Pu Gao."

"Forget it, forget it, let's go, let's go to work."

By the time Xu Yanmei came out after removing the ropes, the group of gossip shop assistants had already dispersed, each standing in front of a booth that was no more than three or four feet wide, shouting loudly: "Two pieces of 99, two pieces of 99! Miss today and wait for next year! All down jackets are out of season." Liquidated at a loss!"

"Walk around and take a look, two pieces are 99!"

Xu Yanmei walked over with a strong smell of perfume: "I'm going out for a while, if there is anything, call me. And there are those stupid haters who don't understand people, you don't need to reason with them, just scold them. What a shitty truth. The truth is for people to hear, not for idiots."

Xie Yu took a detour, went to three grocery stores and finally found a loudspeaker with a loudspeaker.

Red and white, it was found with great difficulty from under a pile of groceries.In order to show that although it was covered with a layer of dust, it was still functional, the store immediately connected it to the electricity and played the song "Damn Tenderness" on the spot.

Really powerful and deafening.

Xie Yu's ears hurt from the shock, he took out the money and said, "Okay, how much?"

The shopkeeper was closer to the speaker, so he didn't hear the five words Xie Yu said. He wiped the dust off his face with his sleeve, and Hughes tried his best to sell with his voice. Can roar out this high-pitched voice: "—Durable! If you don't use it, you will be refunded! You will be refunded!"

"how much is it?"

"Quality is guaranteed! If you have any questions, feel free to contact me! The small shop does not change its name and business name! CCB groceries!"

"..."

A hand was stretched out in front of the old man. It was slender, with well-defined joints and cleanly manicured nails.

Xie Yu pressed the switch button expressionlessly, and his ears finally became quiet: "How much?"

"Two, 25."

The old man gestured two, then five, and then said: "Do you want it? If you want it, I will wrap it up for you."

Before Xie Yu could nod his head, the old man had already picked up a plastic bag to put the speakers in, and quickly pulled out a few sheets of unknown origin from the thick stack of papers on the table and stuffed them into the plastic bag.

——Gynecology hospital, painless abortion.

——The gospel of men, the second one, half price.

Opening a grocery store is not enough, Xie Yu has a new understanding of the mobility and business level of the people in Heishui Street as well as the important task of distributing leaflets.

The old man didn’t stuff enough, so he threw in a few more. Judging from the general color, those leaflets did not repeat: “Side business, side business. Respond to the party’s call, actively go to a well-off society, and strive to get rich... looking for your money , take it, welcome to visit next time."
