all the way

Liu Xia's depression caused by leaving home and leaving the cat was shocked the moment he opened the bedroom door.

He saw that Sha Yonghe, Hei Deqing, and Mao Jianyong all had an extra-large bag on the bed, and Yun Jian was surrounded by various tapes on his bed, holding a red tape recorder in his arms, which was not big but enough to make people I could hear goosebumps all over my body.

Several people happily greeted Liu Xia, and Hei Deqing took his suitcase and put it on the empty bunk and said, "We thought you dropped out of school, why are you here now? Xiao Wu is preparing to open for business." !"

Liu Xia was dumbfounded and didn't know what happened. Why did their dormitory suddenly change to the wholesale market?

Zhang Fusheng explained to him with a smile: "Xiao Wu brought more than 1000 tapes to sell. The tapes are made by himself. They are all the most popular songs at present. They are half cheaper than those sold in stores outside. Each of us chooses I bought several boxes, do you want it?"

Liu Xia wiped off his sweat: "Of course not, I don't have a tape recorder at home, why do I need a tape?"

Mao Jianyong said: "Okay, Qi'er doesn't want it, you have all picked it, and I am opening now!"

Hei Deqing and Zhan Wei immediately ran to release the news.

Liu Xia sat on Zhang Fusheng's bed dripping with sweat and flicked through those tapes. He found that all these tapes were as beautifully packaged and finely crafted as the authentic products sold in the store. The difference was that these tapes were not the albums of any singer, but the most A collection of popular songs, some of which Liu Xia has never seen before. The pictures on the tape wrapping paper are grotesque. high", "fever disco"...

Liu Xia was shocked when he saw Fei Xiang's dazzling red clothes and Cheng Lin's sweet appearance. He knew that there were original soundtracks and copy tapes. A collection of popular songs, certainly cannot be a regular soundtrack, but it still has a beautiful and detailed appearance, and the sound is pure and stable, which is no worse than what Yunjian bought outside.

The most popular tapes outside have already sold for 12 yuan a box, and Mao Jianyong's ones are all [-] yuan. Without counter-offering, they were sold out in less than three days.

Han Tong bought five boxes for his brother for the first time, and bought fifty boxes for his brother's classmates and his own friends the next day, most of them were of the 'Disco' series, because the tapes contained The music Jiangcheng didn't have yet, so he took it back and played it, and all his friends liked it very much.

However, when other people were pleasantly surprised by buying a good and cheap tape, the joy and excitement of the people in 219 became less and less. Instead, they developed some unspeakable emotions towards Mao Jianyong.

219 Except for Liu Xia, several others bought tapes, including Zhang Fusheng, who bought three boxes of 'Disco' at once, because Qiao Yanfang and the others had to dance fast-paced group dances and ballroom dances when they organized weekend dance parties, and each time they had two Individuals guard the tape recorder and are responsible for changing and rewinding the tapes, picking out those songs suitable for dancing and playing them back.

And Mao Jianyong has three tapes that only include songs of the same rhythm type, which are very suitable for dance parties.

Yun Jian asked for a box of each item, which cost more than 100; Hei Deqing and Zhan Wei also bought several boxes, and Zhang Fusheng bought a box each suitable for the dance, and planned to give it to Qiao Yanfang.

All of these, Mao Jianyong is not cheap.

Liu Xia has always believed that good friends should not divide money and things so clearly, that is too estranged, this incident made Liu Xia feel that Mao Jianyong is very unreasonable, and of course other people in the dormitory have the same feeling. Feel.

But Mao Jianyong persisted to the end, and every time he took out a cassette, he must get back five yuan.

However, Liu Xia and the others just felt uncomfortable and didn't show anything. After all, it was much cheaper to buy from Mao Jianyong than to buy from outside stores.

Mao Jianyong was just like a normal person, going to class and eating with them every day without his weird and soft Wenzhou Mandarin.

At noon on Saturday, Liu Xia and Yun Jian got drenched from the heat of practicing mechanical dancing. Seeing that the time was almost up, they went to the water room to take a shower with cold water. When they came back, they were changing their clothes. Arrange other activities, I will treat guests tonight, let's go to the Hongbin Building for a meal."

The eyes of the sleepy-eyed people became clear in an instant, and they all stared at Mao Jianyong in a daze.

Hongbinlou is the best restaurant near their school, and the people who go in and out are all successful people in their eyes. College students with little cash will never go there to eat, even Mao Jianyong and Hei who have better family conditions In Deqing, the Hongbin Building is a bit too extravagant.

Mao Jianyong rolled his eyes: "Look at that, it's Hongbin Building, Liu Xia, don't make excuses to run away, the books in the library can't escape, you can go to see them anytime, I don't invite Hongbin Building every day, I can’t eat today, and I will definitely not make up for it later.”

Liu Xia looked at the other people and said, "Don't worry, I didn't intend to spare you."

In fact, Liu Xia didn't want to go, he just had to eat as long as he was full. Wouldn't it be a waste of money to eat at such an expensive place?But the others were very excited, and he didn't want to disappoint.

In the Hongbin Building, Liu Xia knew for the first time that the hotel had a separate room called private room.

Mao Jianyong insisted that everyone order a dish they like.

Yun Jian was the first to order, and unceremoniously ordered a large plate of braised pork ribs for five yuan.

Deqing ordered sweet and sour fish. Jiangcheng's fish became famous because of a poem by a great man. The dish he ordered was very in line with the wishes of several other people.

Zhan Wei and Zhang Fusheng didn't have any psychological burden on Mao Jianyong, a big family, and they all picked expensive meat and vegetables ruthlessly.

Liu Xia ordered a stir-fried water spinach because it was the cheapest.

Sayonghe ordered a ginger preserved egg.

After watching them order, Mao Jianyong took the menu and said, "I made a lot of money from you a few days ago, don't you want to eat it back today? After passing this village, there will be no such shop. Waiter, Mianyang Sanzheng , strips of eel, Dongpo meat, braised eight treasures, and [-] kvass, this is the first, and if there is not enough, I will ask for it."

Liu Xia was overwhelmed by the large table of colorful dishes and drinks, how much does it cost!

Mao Jianyong opened a can of kvass for one person: "Come on, touch it, but let me tell you what I said first. This is because I made money from business and treated my brothers to dinner. I didn't apologize. It's only natural for me to make money in business, and I did nothing wrong." I will never apologize for the matter, come on, drink this cup first and let's talk."

Several people were overheated, and the cold kvass stuffed half of the jar, and even the soles of their feet were cool and comfortable.

Mao Jianyong asked everyone to eat, and at the same time explained his original intention for the meal today: "As I said just now, this meal is for my brothers to eat with money from selling tapes, not an apology.

I know you guys won't be happy if I sell you the tape for the same price as everyone else, but listen to me, if you're not happy when I'm done, I'll give you back your money up. "

Several people couldn't help but stopped the chopsticks in their hands and looked at Mao Jianyong in surprise, but no one spoke.

Mao Jianyong went on to say: "My tapes are sold at half the price of the store, and the quality is as good as theirs, and the songs I choose are all your favorite and most wanted, that is to say, if you don't think that these tapes are my colleague The dormitory buddies sold it, you should be glad you got something good and cheap.

Now you're saving money and you're not happy just because we know each other, we're acquaintances, and I think I should sell you tapes for less than everyone else, or don't pay at all, guys, what I said right? "

A few people were embarrassed by what they said, and looked at each other.

He Deqing nodded: "It's a little bit, but it's not as serious as you said. Sometimes I think that the tape you gave us is full of songs we like, and we don't have to rewind back and forth like other tapes to pick our favorites. Listen, it’s much cheaper than buying it outside, so I’m very happy.”

Mao Jianyong nodded: "Anyway, I know that you have opinions on me. Brothers, this is wrong, why?

Let’s not say that my tapes are costly, but just say that we are acquaintances. Think about it, because we are in the same dormitory and have the best relationship, so I don’t want your money or give you two dollars cheaper.

What about 218 across the street?Song Yan and Qi'er have a very good relationship, he would want Qi'er to buy it for him at the same price as you, right?

It's just that there is no Song Yan, 218, and our neighbors 217 and 221. We usually have a good relationship. If I give you one price and give them another price, they will definitely feel uncomfortable.

If I also give them a discount, what about the students in our department?And what about your fellow countrymen?The people in your fellow dormitory or good friends ask them to let you buy it, so will I give it a cheap price?If it's all cheaper, aren't you still the same as everyone else? "

Liu Xia thinks about it, it really makes sense.

Yun Jian said: "Damn, let you say this, you have earned money from the brothers, it is reasonable, isn't it?"

Mao Jianyong said: "Yun Jian, you shouldn't think so. What you should think is that you can save more than 60 yuan by buying from me, and the songs included in my tapes are all the songs you wanted but didn't want. There is no way to get it at the same time, don't you feel happy when you think about it?

But you don’t think so, so according to your thinking, I have suffered so much to send things from Wenzhou to Jiangcheng so that you can choose them in advance, so that you can buy them for so much cheaper, but in the end, what did I do? It offended all of you like something devoid of conscience, do you think this should be done? "

Zhan Wei smiled and said: "We always think that we are brothers in the same dormitory, and we usually have such a good relationship. You charge us the same money as others, but you don't think about it from your standpoint the other way around, so I always feel uncomfortable. Comfortable."

Mao Jianyong said: "That's right, so this matter is your problem. My father often told me that in business and business, this time with more than 1000 tapes, it was the first time I did business independently. I used the money I earned during the summer vacation to wholesale it with my dad. Although he gave me the lowest price, it still has capital. I have to put my own capital, boat tickets, train tickets and the hard work I have endured to bring these tapes. Give it back.

My father often does business with people from Hong Kong. What they often say is: everyone cooperates, everyone can only earn their own share of money, don’t be jealous of others, and think about how to earn the most while still Pave the way for future business, so that the business will grow bigger and bigger, and the more money will be earned.

If we don’t keep our promises and the work is too low-quality, no one will want our goods in the future; if we are jealous that Hong Kong people can get the big head just by providing us with some master tapes, we will not get the latest popular songs and movies. As a result, everyone has no money to make. "

Several people were a little dazed when they heard it, and felt that what Mao Jianyong said was a bit unreasonable, but it made sense.

Mao Jianyong suddenly asked Hei Deqing: "Your family introduces coal to others, and you must sell coal yourself. Do you ask for money to sell coal to relatives and friends?"

Hei Deqing understood what Mao Jianyong meant, and he answered truthfully: "My father and my two uncles partnered to lease a mine, and the coal price for their classmates was slightly lower than that of others. There is no way to do it, the price difference is too much, once it spreads, not only will it not be able to please people, but it will also offend the whole circle of people.

My dad and the others had suffered this kind of loss at the beginning, and they were full of joy and thought that they had become a good person. In the end, they made themselves unstoppable, and their relatives and friends were still dissatisfied. Taking advantage of the Spring Festival holiday, new regulations were announced after returning from the new year. Several friends broke up and stopped coming to our mine to buy coal, but they all came back after a few months, because other mines didn’t even have that little discount. Nor to them. "

A few of them were college students with very simple minds, and they understood the truth of Mao Jianyong's words after thinking about it. When they thought about it, they no longer had lumps in their hearts, and a few of them began to gobble up vegetables.

Liu Xia especially likes to eat Dongpo pork and stripped eel, as well as the steamed pork, which is as delicious as Liu Ling's.

He thought, it would be great if the cat was here. The cat is so thin and always very greedy. He can eat twenty or thirty of 'Old Gulong' and Maiji Bird at a time, so he must like these too.

In the future, I should also learn to cook a few delicious dishes like the third brother and the fifth brother, and cook them for my family during the holidays. That little greedy cat should be happier eating the dishes he made, right?

After Mao Jianyong said the words, he didn't worry about it anymore. He relaxed and chatted with a few people about his father's business experience: "If you start your own business in the future, you must establish the rules in advance. Brothers and brothers will settle accounts clearly. This is the most important thing. , or in the end not only can't be a good brother, but also become an enemy!

Furthermore, it is best not to use relatives and friends to work in your own factory. It is very troublesome. It is not worthwhile for good friends to fall out in the end;

Of course, the most important thing is quality, even if it is pirated or imitated, you must make a level, so that you can have a reputation, and you will not worry about not having customers if you have a reputation..."

Liu Xia felt that he would never be able to do business by himself.

However, he remembered what Liu Yu had said that the children from relatives that Ma Deying used when he first set up the factory seemed to be gone now.

Each of them feels that the relationship between their family and Ma Deying is the most special and closest, so whether it is work or remuneration, they all feel that they deserve more care, but the result is different from their expectations, and finally they have various children A lot of complaints and a lot of discord.

So he felt that Mao Jianyong's words might indeed have some truth, especially his statement about quality and reputation, and Liu Xia also thought so.

In fact, doing business and doing work is part of being a human being. Integrity is one of the bottom lines of being a human being, and of course it is also the basic morality of doing business and work.

Yun Jian has been looking for someone to learn and practice breakdancing during the summer vacation. His family just bought a Panasonic color TV and a video recorder. He found several breakdancing videotapes, one of which was Mike Yun Jian can be said to be crazy about the live video of Jackson's performance.

He is now a college student in a key university, his parents are obedient to him, and learning breakdancing in the summer vacation is no longer regarded as not doing his job properly, but has become a model of all-round development of morality, intelligence and physical fitness. His relatives and friends are full of praise and envy when they see him If it didn't work out, the Yun family's parents were greatly relieved.

Back in Jiangcheng, Yun Jian's enthusiasm remained undiminished. He urgently needed to find someone to show off, but their school was not an art school, and dancing on campus was suspected of showing off, so the dormitory became his professional performance venue, 219 Every day, I have to undergo countless times of 'Disco' wild baptism.

Liu Xia found that Yun Jian's current level was far behind him.

Yun Jian and a few others felt that breakdancing should be like in the movie, a group of people dance together to be exciting, so Yun Jian continued to hold on to Liu Xia and enthusiastically worked as a free coach every day.

In fact, Liu Xia really wants to continue dancing, but he is also under pressure from the English test that will be held in December, so he is only willing to practice with Yun Jian every day after lunch. He always finishes dinner quickly so as to escape Yun Jian's clutches and run Go to the library to read a book.

After dinner on Saturday, he was about to run away again, but was caught by Hei Deqing and Zhang Fusheng, and several people scolded him: "Are you trying to make contemporary college students a standard nerd image?"

"He who can't rest can't work. Don't you listen to the words of our great revolutionary teacher?"

"We are college students now, college students, understand? College students represent freedom, enthusiasm, knowledge and trends. Don't always rely on the farmer's uncle. You only know how to stare at your own one-third of an acre of land all day long."

……

Therefore, Liu Xia resumed the life of floating and rubbing with Yun Jian every day after lunch and dinner, but those "windmill spins" that need a lot of space to do are still impossible to achieve, which makes Yun Jian Jian is very depressed, which makes Liu Xia very happy.

He also felt that those movements were very touching, but he didn't want his clothes to be torn so quickly.

Yun Jian has practiced almost professionally, and now he dances really well. He has his own experience first, and when he guides Liu Xia, he can point out the key points of the movements, so that Liu Xia does not take any detours.

It may have something to do with running the mountain road for many years. Liu Xia's movement feels very good, and his movements are chic and beautiful. His random continuous back slide and "bang bang" combination, the feeling of jumping out made several people in the dormitory dumbfounded. He imitated Jackson's movement of moonwalking and holding his top hat to pretend to be cool, which made the crowds in several nearby dormitories whistle.

Yun Jian said as an expert: "This is still wearing the wrong clothes. If you wear a pair of tight zebra pants and a golden afro, the effect will be even more shocking."

Liu Xia is not sensitive to leggings and afro. Now he basically wears two T-shirts and two pairs of whitish jeans.

When Liu Chuan sent him and Liu Hai to Yuancheng to take the train, he took them around the wholesale market at Yuancheng Railway Station. The wholesale market was really huge, and there were several stalls selling clothes. At the end of the street, Yanagawa bought a pair of jeans for each of them.

Liu Xia carried forward Mao Jianyong's thick-skinned spirit when he bargained, and he insisted on getting 15 for [-]. Afterwards, he was still thinking, if Mao Jianyong was there, maybe he could save a few more dollars, so that both Liu Chuan and Liu Hai Impressed by him.

Break dancing with Yun Jian, Liu Xia is purely because he likes and has fun. If he knew that one day he would be caught by the seniors from the student union and show up at the welcome party, he would not want to learn it if he was beaten to death.

However, it was too late now, Zhang Fusheng and Zhan Wei held him on the stool, Qiao Yanfang and another girl smeared his face, Liu Xia choked on the smell and sneezed.

Qiao Yanfang put away the powder box, tilted her head and squinted her eyes, looked at Liu Xia's chin for a while, and was very satisfied with her work: "Well, it's so beautiful, if you weren't four years younger than me, I would just spread it right now. I'm chasing after you."

Liu Xia's lips were smeared, he didn't dare to shut up, but he still happily said to Qiao Yanfang: "It's only (it's) okay, I (we) said there, female junior, O (hold) gold bricks, I I (don't) despise you."

Qiao Yanfang giggled: "Hey, I can't tell, Qi'er, you're quite good at taking advantage of my sisters, I always thought you were very honest!"

Zhang Fusheng pulled Liu Xia up and pushed him to the mirror on the table: "It's hard to find honest people like me these days."

Qiao Yanfang pretended not to hear Zhang Fusheng's words, took out a mirror and held it in front of Liu Xia.

As soon as Liu Xia saw the red-mouthed monster in the mirror, he jumped up, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and ran out: "This is too disgusting, I'm not a woman, I won't jump."

Yun Jian, who came in from the door with his clothes in his arms, happened to block Liu Xia. He was shocked when he saw the blush on Liu Xia's right cheek, and then looked at Liu Xia's thick and black eyebrows. Laughing: "I said Qiao Yanfang, what kind of vision do you have? Why did you draw us, a handsome and handsome young man with a jade tree in front of the wind, as a bone spirit?"

Liu Xia was held down by several people and wiped off his face, only a little blush was applied on the two cheekbones, which made Liu Xia so awkward that he was about to die.

But Qiao Yanfang and the others insisted, saying that if they were not illuminated by the lights on the stage, their faces would be as creepy as dead faces.

The break dance performed by Yun Jian, Liu Xia and five boys from the other department wearing Songerbaji's military training uniforms made the party applause loud and crazy.

Liu Xia changed his clothes after leaving the field, and found that he had less than 5 minutes to soak through the military training uniform he borrowed from Zhang Fusheng.

Yun Jian panted and gave Liu Xia a thumbs up: "You are definitely an impromptu performance type. You used to say that your best grade in high school was more than 80 in the whole grade. I still didn't believe it. Today I believe it. You performed at a super level! , Earth's gravity is almost useless for you."

Several other people who formed a temporary team with them also praised Liu Xia for his good dance. They are also in the second grade. Like Yun Jian, they also like breakdancing after watching the movie last year. They use it on this They all had much more time than Liu Xia, but they all felt that Yun Jian and Liu Xia danced the best.

Yun Jian discussed with those people whether to organize a club as well.

Liu Xia first declared that he would not participate, he could play it when he was happy, and spend his spare time on it, he was not willing to, there were at least a hundred books he listed for himself in the library and he didn't have time to read them!

When a few people were discussing whether to go directly to the dormitory building to take a cold shower, Han Tong led a few people over, and he pushed a short boy to Liu Xia and Yun Jian: "Just now they You have seen what kind of dance, now you ask yourself, see if he is the highest scholarship every semester."

Liu Xia and Yun Jian immediately thought of who this boy was, and Yun Jian smiled and said to him, "You are Han Yang, right? Come on, face him, he is the one who will get the first prize back."

Liu Xia smiled and said, "There are quite a few first prizes in the department. Just read a little more every day. Hehe, you like breakdancing too?"

Han Yang said in Mandarin with a strong Jiangcheng accent: "I like to have farts. My family and teachers don't let me dance, saying that we are not doing our job properly. You, you really come first in all majors every time you take the exam?"

Liu Xia scratched his head: "We have few professionals. Unlike high school, there are thousands of people in one grade. My best grade in high school was more than 80 in the whole grade."

Seeing that Liu Xia failed to understand his spirit, Han Tong immediately pulled Han Yang back to his side, saying, "I didn't lie to you, did I? Liu Xia is the number one every semester, Did you hear what he said? It’s enough to read a little more every day. He just reads a little more than No.2 every day, so he is the number one. If you are admitted to our school, you don’t have to be the first. You are the last one every day I won't even say a word to you when you dance."

Liu Xia thought to himself, what kind of bullshit is this request from a counselor? Even if it is a key university, it is not a glorious thing to be the last one!

A week after the National Day, Liu Xia received letters from his family and Liu Yu.

Liu Yu said: Liu Miao, Jianbin and I went home to see my second brother the day before yesterday. I hadn't been there for 10 minutes, but Liu Dongju came back from her natal home. I thought she came back to divorce her second brother. Who? Knowing that she actually sat on the bed with a sullen face and asked the second brother to cook for her.

The second elder brother had been sitting and talking to us, and ignored her, so she kicked over a stool beside the bed. When the child was crying, I heard Liu Dongju call her Nana.

I stopped there for less than an hour. When the second brother came out to see us off, I told him that we should just divorce and go to the ball. This kind of woman is disgusting, and the second brother smiled and said nothing.

Yao'er, it looks like Liu Dongju doesn't plan to come to Liujialing for the rest of his life, let alone support my uncle. If the second brother never divorces, he will definitely not be able to control my uncle in the future.

I have made up my mind, I will take care of my uncle in the future, and he will give birth to my son. If Sun Yufang dares not to be filial to my uncle and my uncle and mother after marriage, I will not spend more time with her, and I will divorce immediately... …

Liu Yu's last letter said that because of Liu Kui's words, Liu Dongju's mother and daughter insisted that Liu Mao give them an explanation, that is, let Liu Mao go back to Liu Kui and give them a vent, otherwise it would be fine.

It is definitely impossible for Liu Mao to go back and find Liu Kui.

In fact, Liu Mao got up and went to work before the mother and daughter finished talking.

Liu Dongju didn't care that she was in confinement, and drove Liu Mao to cry, scold and beat her. After a big fuss, Liu Dongju's mother hired a tricycle, and took Liu Dongju and her ten-day-old baby back to her natal home. , and said that she would never let her daughter come back, so there was no more about the full moon wine.

At that time, Liu Xia also thought that since Liu Dongju disliked Liu Mao so much, and Liu Kui said ugly things to her face in front of her mother, and Liu Mao still refused to save her face, she would definitely ask for a divorce very arrogantly Well, unexpectedly, she came back by herself.

"Shame on you!" Liu Xia cursed lightly, and opened the letter from home.

Liu Kui said that everything is fine at home. There have been two moderate rains over the past month. This kind of rain is most suitable for their sloping land, and there is enough moisture in the ground. It won't destroy the fields, and this year's autumn grain should be much better than previous years. Tell Liu Xia not to worry about his family, as long as he eats and drinks well.

Liu Xia knew that it would never be possible to see any unhappy things from his eldest brother's letter. He could only learn a little about the real situation at home from Liu Yu's letter, which was leaked because Liu Kui's negligence did not explain too much detail.

He leaned himself into a comfortable half-lying position, and then opened the cat's letter.

Uncle:

I’m a cat, Brother Xiaorui and I are on autumn vacation today. Before school, Teacher Guan gave each person in my class a candy. It’s sweet, but not as sweet as Uncle Wu’s. The teacher is getting married tomorrow, and he sent us candies.

I picked a large handful of goji berries today. They are both red and delicious. I want to give them to you, but you are not at home, so I can't give them to you.

I can miss you every day, and you should miss me every day too!

Sincerely,

salute

Willow bank

198*.9.30

Liu Xia read the letter several times, took out the photo of the cat sitting on the swing, looked at it for a while, kissed the little cheek lightly, and thought: You are only seven years old, so small, you miss me , certainly not as much as I miss you.
