all the way

Liu Xia returned to school at four in the afternoon. He ran into the dormitory dripping with sweat, and before he finished greeting Yun Jian and Sha Yonghe who had returned to school one step earlier, Zhang Fusheng slapped a wad of money in his hand : "Qi'er, you've made a fortune."

Like the previous semesters, Liu Xia received the first-class scholarship, and this year's scholarship was doubled. He received nearly [-] yuan in one fell swoop, including his full living expenses for two months of summer vacation.

Liu Xia jumped three feet high, and spacewalked several times: "Oh-wow, I am rich, I am rich, I work hard to bring wealth, the sky has eyes, and the Bodhisattva has appeared..." Turning around, I saw the suitcase Hei Deqing who entered the door didn't wait for Hei Deqing to figure out what was going on, Liu Xia threw his suitcase on the empty bunk, pulled him up and ran out, Mao Jianyong shouted behind him, he didn't hear clearly .

Before the post office got off work, Liu Xia not only sent away the money that had just arrived within a few minutes, but also sent away the letters that he wrote to his family, Maoer, and Liu Chuan while sitting in the post office.

After returning from the post office, in addition to the hot air, Mao Jianyong's eyes greeted Liu Xia in the dormitory: "Should I call you Kong Fangdi from now on?"

Liu Xia smiled and apologized to Mao Jianyong: "There was a heavy rain in our place during the summer vacation, and the autumn crops are almost gone. My parents and elder brother are waiting for the rice to cook at home. I'm sorry, Brother Wuyu!"

Mao Jianyong pretended to 'hum' for a while, trying to show that he was still angry, but he couldn't help himself to laugh first: "Sorry, I made a mistake, brother Qixian!"

He pulled out a leather bag from under the bed, took out some jeans and a pile of short-sleeved T-shirts of various colors: "I just want you to be a model for me to do a street advertisement, what are you doing so fast?"

The pair of jeans that Mao Jianyong brought were a little paler than the ones they bought before, but they looked pleasing to the eye, so he asked Liu Xia to try on a pair.

Liu Xia and Hei Deqing were both sweaty. They ran to the water room to take a cold shower. When they came back, they put on the jeans Mao Jianyong had chosen for him and a white round-neck short-sleeved T-shirt with a skyscraper pattern on the chest. .

The length of the jeans is just right, a little wide. Liu Xia himself thinks this is the most suitable and comfortable, but everyone else thinks it should be tighter, and it is fashionable to stretch the buttocks.

A white T-shirt paired with whitish straight-leg jeans, coupled with Liu Xia's thin and straight figure and clean and refreshing appearance, it really feels like a green bamboo after the rain, very seductive.

Liu Xia thought that the T-shirt should be wider, but Mao Jianyong said that this is what he wanted - showing his figure.

Liu Xia suddenly remembered a model at a fashion show that Zeng Guang had watched on TV for a few moments, he chuckled, and then his expression changed suddenly, making a dead face with no expression, with his hands in his pockets, he walked away stiffly After going back and forth a few times, he also performed two puppet-like poses.

Yun Jian jumped up and grabbed a big red T-shirt with a skull pattern and put it on, and followed Liu Xia's virtue, and then leaned on Liu Xia's shoulder and posed for a pose, attracting the attention of several other people in the dormitory. Individuals slapped the bed and yelled to do it again.

Mao Jianyong and Zhan Wei's eyes turned green with jealousy: Liu Xia is tall and tall, with narrow hips and long legs, which set off the clothes just right. It is impossible for the two of them to wear such an effect.

Hei Deqing also took a pair of jeans and put them on, they were a bit long, but he liked the effect very much and thought it looked very fashionable. Mao Jianyong matched him with a black T-shirt with a messy head, and the whole person looked very Handsome and stylish.

Yun Jian's current height has been reduced to the fourth child in the dormitory. After he puts on jeans, he needs to roll up one side, but he said that he is willing to wear them like this, and he is determined not to cut them short.

Mao Jianyong tilted his head and looked at the three of them for a while, then nodded with satisfaction: "It feels like I want."

Zhan Wei and Zhang Fusheng circled around Mao Jianyong anxiously, but Mao Jianyong shook his head firmly: "Absolutely not, it will take a few days, and you will have both in a week. Now is the time for my new product advertisement, and you will be able to wear it directly now." Reduce the effect of my advertising."

Only then did Liu Xia and the others know that Mao Jianyong still had a backup.

For the next few days, Liu Xia, Hei Deqing, and Yun Jian wore jeans and T-shirts that Mao Jianyong had prepared for them every day, attracting countless envious looks and inquiries, including their counselors Han Tong and Che Jie.

Under the urging of Zhan Wei, Liu Xia went to make up lessons for Che Jie on the first night of returning to school.

When he was away during the summer vacation, Che Jie had another conflict with his mother.

Che Jie's mother was very pleased to see her son's progress at first, but the scars will always heal and forget the pain.

After Che Jie's study and spirit got better, Che's mother quickly forgot the panic that Che Jie had brought to her every day, and she was no longer satisfied with Che Jie's regular study and play every day. , and resumed the constant nagging about Che Jie's inadvertent choice of friends, not knowing how to study hard, no one's children are sensible, no one's children study well, and so on.

Che Jie got emotional because of this, had a big fight with his mother at the beginning of August, and went to Zhan Wei's house to live for almost two weeks; after Zhan Wei and his family persuaded him, he went back home, but since then he refused to read any books, Doing nothing every day, just listening to popular songs on the tape recorder, with a broken can and a posture of wanting to fight his mother to the end.

Caught between his wife and son, Dad Che was very angry and helpless. He had to ask Zhan Wei several times every day when Liu Xia would return to school, which made Zhan Wei so annoyed that he almost regretted introducing Liu Xia to them.

As soon as Liu Xia arrived at his house, Che's father took Liu Xia to his bedroom to talk about Che Jie's situation. Liu Xia had already heard Zhan Wei say something, and he was also a little worried, afraid that Che Jie would be determined to be with him this time. Mom confronted me, if this was the case, I'm afraid he might not listen to what I said.

Fortunately, Che Jie treated Liu Xia the same as before. When he saw Liu Xia came back, he felt that he had some hope, so he turned off the tape recorder and took out the textbook, but he couldn't concentrate when he was studying. The questions are always wrong, and I dare not hear the fucking voice, and I will explode when I hear it.

On the first day when he came back from Che Jie's house, Liu Xia thought a lot. The conflict between Che Jie and Che's mother could not be changed by him as a child. He had to find a way to change Che Jie's thinking.

When he went there for the second time, he talked with Che's father alone for a while, and after obtaining Che's approval, Liu Xia invited Che Jie to come to their school to play the next day. a day off.

Surprised and excited, Che Jie arrived at Liu Xia's school early the next morning. When Zhan Wei led him to find Liu Xia, Liu Xia had just finished running around the playground ten laps. The book is ready to go to the swimming pool to read.

Che Jie is two months older than Liu Xia. Although Liu Xia is a head taller than him, if you only look at his face, Che Jie is more mature than Liu Xia, so Liu Xia didn't give any lectures to Che Jie. Che Jie lived his most ordinary day of college life: attending classes, taking notes, eating in the cafeteria, dancing with Yun Jian and the others for an hour, going to the library to read, discussing difficult homework, doing laundry...

At the end of the day, it's not too tense, but it's not easy either.

Liu Xia had already greeted the people in the dormitory in advance, and Zhan Wei was Che Jie's cousin, so the people in the dormitory were very cooperative with Liu Xia's education of Che Jie. Be very serious.

When Che Jie came out of the library at 09:30 in the evening, when Che Jie was about to leave, Liu Xia said to him: "University is not the paradise your mother imagined. We still have a lot of homework and pressure, but it is indeed much easier than high school. If you If you want to have such a life, don’t be influenced by your mother’s emotions, and study according to your own plan until you achieve your goal. Only this time, if you give up studying at will because of external factors next time, I will not Teach you, my counselor introduced me to another tutor and is waiting for my reply!"

Liu Xia didn't lie to Che Jie, Han Tong did introduce him to a tutoring job, and he paid [-] cents more per class than Che Jie's, but Liu Xia didn't agree.

Although the agreement with Che Jie's family was only verbal, Liu Xia felt that no matter what form he had made, he had to keep to the end.

The next tutoring went smoothly. Although Che Jie was impulsive and rebellious, he was not a heartless person. If he had no goals and no self-control at all, Liu Xia would have given up this job long ago.

A week later, Mao Jianyong hired a tricycle at night when there were fewer people on campus, and pulled all his stored things from the pier to 219.

He brought a lot of things this time, two packs of jeans, two packs of T-shirts, and a large pack of tapes.

The tapes are all high-quality pirated copies, including the most popular songs at the moment, including the latest hits of popular stars such as Li Lingyu, Han Baoyi, Zhang Qiang, Fei Xiang, Chen Baiqiang, Alan Tam, Teresa Teng, Luo Wen, etc., especially Grasshopper's , Liu Xia and the others have never heard of it before.

Mao Jianyong also brought a small and exquisite tape recorder, closed the door, and when "Forgotten Love Samba" and "Broken Love Front Alliance" were played, the whole room was shocked. The brisk rhythm and warm and humorous lyrics made several people fall in love with them up.

'Warrior's Disco' is still wild and exciting, making people excited.

Mao Jianyong was very satisfied with the effect of his advertisement. He announced: "Tape is still the old rule;

As for the jeans and T-shirts... Liu'er, Qi'er, Yun Jian, you put away the ones that you guys have worn, and if you want anything else, you can take it and put it away first, and we will settle the money at the end.

The brotherly friendship price is limited to two, and the extra ones are the same as others, but you have the right to choose the fat and the thin.

After you have finished picking, I will start to open to the public. Jeans are all 21, no bargaining, women’s only [-], brother, if you want to get it for our sister-in-law, hurry up, and anyone who plans to buy it for fellow villagers will also take it in advance. I don't think it's enough to sell; there are [-] T-shirts regardless of size or color. "

Several people were pleasantly surprised and heartbroken, but they still couldn't help but poke and pull to find a number that suits them.

Because Liu Xia has to run every morning for morning exercises and when he goes to Che Jie’s house, his clothes are soaked at least twice a day, so Mao Jianyong has worn several sets of jeans and T-shirts for him in live advertisements these days.

Now Mao Jianyong asked them to put it away first, Liu Xia didn't know what it meant, so he didn't know whether he should buy one for himself at this time, he really liked this kind of jeans and T-shirt, they were comfortable, simple, fashionable and beautiful.

However, both he and Zhang Fusheng felt that the price was too expensive. Liu Xia said, "I heard that our salary in the first year of graduation is 46. How dare you ask for more than half a month's salary for a pair of jeans?"

Mao Jianyong looked at them with a look of country bumpkins: "My aunt processed them for others. There are only more than 100 pieces. They are sold in specialty stores in Europe. Do you understand specialty stores? Only Only very famous brands dare to operate in the form of monopoly. In Hong Kong, the competition of monopoly agents of well-known brands is very fierce.

These jeans of mine, except that they don’t have that trademark, are absolutely authentic. If they are sold in a specialty store, the price of a pair will be at least five times the price I am now. Moreover, you have nowhere to buy them. Let me tell you, within three years In mainland cities, you may not be able to buy my style of jeans.

This is the latest popular style, and the fabric is more breathable than before. I guess it will be popular here at least at this time next year or a few years later. When I want it with my aunt, she still doesn't want to give it to me. , any seller is higher than the price I gave her.

These T-shirts are the most popular styles in Europe, America and Hong Kong. I saw them when I went to Hong Kong with my aunt, and imitated them immediately after I came back. Do you know how much effort it took me?I haven't played a day all summer, just messing around with these t-shirts. "

Several people looked at Mao Jianyong with envy and envy: "Have you been to Hong Kong?"

Mao Jianyong was angry because several people couldn't understand the key points, but he was also very embarrassing: "What's so great about Hong Kong, our family has all been there."

Next, everyone chose what they liked from Mao Jianyong's description of Hong Kong's paradise.

In line with the principle of being cheap and not taking advantage of bastards, Zhan Wei took two pairs of trousers and two T-shirts, even though the trousers needed to be cut off by more than three inches. He won a second-class scholarship this semester, so he spent money generously.

Yunjian took two pairs of jeans, one color T-shirt, five pieces in total.

Hei Deqing was rich and powerful, so he took five pairs of jeans and ten T-shirts, and asked Liu Xia to follow him to the post office on Sunday, and he wanted to send some to his brother.

Zhang Fusheng got the only special pair of jeans specially brought to him by Mao Jianyong, which was processed by his aunt for a client in Northern Europe. Then Zhang Fusheng took two more women's jeans, and first gave Mao Jianyong 40 yuan.

He said that if there were any extras that could not be sold in the end, he would ask Mao Jianyong to sell him two women's ones for 30 yuan each.

Mao Jianyong said very confidently: "It can only be snapped up, it can't be unsalable, just wait and see!"

However, Mao Jianyong's prediction this time has deviated.

There were not many tapes in the first place, and they were all sold out in less than a day;

Jeans and T-shirts are only sold for about a third, and the guys in 218 and the dormitories next door are occupying the things, but they are unwilling to pay. They keep trying to make him cheaper with Mao Jianyong, shameless The level is catching up with Mao Jianyong himself.

For 40 yuan, the wages of official staff in many small cities and countries may not be so high. It is really a bit too wasteful to buy a pair of pants. Liu Xia was surprised that he could sell more than 30 pairs.

Liu Xia and the others know that everyone likes clothes very much, but they think they are too expensive. As long as Mao Jianyong lets go and saves a few dollars, they will definitely sell them out soon.

But Mao Jianyong was very persistent. When everyone else left and only 219 people were left, he said unabashedly that he was a little bit uncertain, but it was absolutely impossible to lower the price: "This is not how business is done. My things I know how much it is worth. My price reduction now will only make the people who bought before feel that they have lost money. After seeing my price reduction, the people who bought later will think that I am asking too much for the price now, and they will ask for a lower price.

It has only been sold for one day, and the only people who know about it are our school. Just wait, in a few days, someone will definitely come to my door and ask for the goods. "

Two days later, Mao Jianyong's prediction came true.

First was Han Tong, he was the first to buy jeans and T-shirts, and bought two for himself, and now he returned with more than 500 yuan to buy for his classmates and friends.

Then there is Qiao Yanfang, she wore the jeans given to her by Zhang Fusheng for two days of class, and participated in several activities of the student unions of other departments. As a result, a large group of girls from the Department of Instrumentation and Foreign Languages ​​was attracted, and the remaining 35 pairs of women's jeans In a blink of an eye, there were only four or five.

Liu Xia didn't know what was going on in his mind, so he reached out and took two and put them on his bed.

Before he could think about whether to take some more T-shirts, the door of the dormitory was blocked by another group of people.

Qiao Yanfang and the others hugged their clothes and left chattering. The group of boys who Liu Xia had never met, most of whom were about his height, crowded their dormitory tightly.

The head of the dormitory, Zhang Fusheng, raised a question on behalf of 219: "Which department do you belong to? Why do I feel that you are not like our school?"

Yun Jian sat on the bed and looked down at the leader who was not too tall and said, "It's from the physical education department next door. Xue Lin, what are you doing? Bring someone to our school to make trouble?"

Only then did Liu Xia and the others know that the leader was Xue Lin who provoked Yun Jian during the parade. Yun Jian asked someone to inquire about his situation later on, in preparation for getting back the scene, but Liu Xia refused. To compare with others, Yun Jian's intelligence is useless.

Xue Lin looked a little embarrassed, but he still greeted Yun Jian generously, and then said to Zhang Fusheng: "I am a fellow who was built by your school. We played together yesterday and saw that he was wearing very handsome clothes. Listen to me. It is said that the people in your dormitory are selling it, let's come and see if there is any more."

Liu Xia couldn't figure it out, when did the whole street become rich like Hei Deqing?

Xue Lin and his gang of brothers each had two pairs of jeans and at least two T-shirts. Xue Lin, like Yun Jian, had one of each color, and they didn't blink when they paid for it.

Before leaving the house, Xue Lin turned around and said to Yun Jian and Liu Xia: "I heard from my fellow villagers that you two dance very well. I went to your small auditorium to watch your practice twice. You are really better than us. One day we will dance together." Let's play together."

Yun Jian pointed at Liu Xia with his chin: "I have no problem, I have to make time for him. He tutors people four days a week."

Xue Lin said bluntly: "Liu Xia, right? All right, our venue is better. When you two have time to go there, we have time anytime."

Liu Xia also wanted to see the very distinctive gymnasium of the Normal University in the legend, so he readily agreed.

The addition of Xue Lin's group made 218 and others feel the crisis, and if they didn't buy it, they would be gone.

The rest of the clothes were snapped up within a few hours. When the senior girls from the Department of Surveying and Mapping came to hear the news, there were only a few empty purses left. They held Mao Jianyong's ear and scolded him for being heartless. They turned their elbows outward. Mao Jianyong yelled and kept apologizing.

Liu Xia admired Mao Jianyong's business vision. They estimated that Mao Jianyong could earn at least 8000 yuan this time.

But Liu Xia was envious, but not envious. Of course Mao Jianyong had his own courage in doing business, but he also had unique conditions that no one else could compare to.

Moreover, Mao Jianyong is really able to endure hardships. He had to transfer those big burdens from Wenzhou to Jiangcheng, and he had to turn cars and boats several times in between. In such a dog days, few people can bear such a crime.

After cleaning the dormitory, only his brothers were left after closing the door. Liu Xia and the others waited for Mao Jianyong to announce the internal purchase price.

Mao Jianyong said: "Yunjian, Liu'er, and Qi'er, keep the ones you have worn. In addition, each of you has a friendly price of two pairs of jeans and two T-shirts. The pair of jeans is twenty , a T-shirt is seven yuan, and the rest is the same as everyone else."

Liu Xia was taken aback. He wore Mao Jianyong's four suits, so what if he didn't give him a penny?

Mao Jianyong smiled slyly and said, "Do you know how much the models in Europe, America and Hong Kong cost for a performance? The sum of all my profits this time is not enough for their appearance fee! Haha, Liuer, Qier, you basically In fact, I have carried a long-term job for a season for nothing, ah ha ha ha..."

Yun Jian and Hei Deqing rushed forward and pressed Mao Jianyong on the bed: "You planned to cheat us two long ago, right? You changed four sets for Qi'er, and we only have two sets."

Mao Jianyong laughed and defended: "I will definitely use the investment in the most worthwhile place. Qi'er can recruit more people than the two of you... Haha, Yun Jian, you are not in my plan at all, you just follow suit ..."

Liu Xia owed money to Mao Jianyong for the two extra pairs of women's jeans, and he would pay Mao Jianyong after Che Jie's family gave him the tuition fees a month later.

Everyone else gave Mao Jianyong the full amount of money. After buying tapes for the first time, everyone was very happy that Mao Jianyong gave them such a favorable friendship price this time.

It took several years for Liu Xia to look back and realize that Mao Jianyong was really talented in business. For the first time, he did not hesitate to risk offending everyone in the dormitory and set up rules to let everyone know his bottom line.

After everyone accepted his seemingly snobbish and ruthless business principles, he took the initiative to break the principles by giving the people in the dormitory very favorable prices, and at the same time set a standard so that he would not suffer too much. In doing so, he took into account both business and the friendship between classmates, and the result is as happy as it is now.

From this incident, Liu Xia realized that it is very necessary to set up rules before doing any important things, otherwise it may end up in a thankless and inhuman ending in the end.

As a result of the frantic purchases, people in 219 and several nearby dormitories lived frugally for several months. Except for Hei Deqing and Mao Jianyong in 219, only Sha Yonghe still maintained the original standard of eating.

Sha Yonghe didn't buy anything this time, and he had a calm to weird smile from the beginning to the end. Seeing Liu Xia and the others yelling at all kinds of entanglements, he reached out to help Mao Jianyong turn the quilt into a mess from time to time. tidy things up.

Liu Xia and the others guessed whether Sha Yonghe had a girlfriend from a different place. Could it be that he was so frugal to save money for love?

But looking at Sha Yonghe's state, he is too calm, and he can't see the kind of lovesickness that should be experienced after falling in love, and he can't sleep at night. And he has absolutely no sign of love in this school.

So several people guessed again: Could it be that this guy is engaged to marry a baby girl, and he was very lucky to have a beautiful and talented girl, so now he is saving money to get married two years before graduation?

Sha Yonghe responded with a mysterious smile to the sci-fi series stories of several people: "You can't figure it out even if you want to break your head, virtuous brothers, enjoy your youth to the fullest, don't waste time on me, an old man. "

The baby-faced Sha Yonghe said such words, which made Liu Xia and the others have a good time.

A few days after the start of the new semester, they started a large number of practical classes. Drawing and making geographic models made Liu Xia very excited. Unlike Mao Jianyong and Yun Jian's three-day enthusiasm, Liu Xia's enthusiasm for drawing and making sand tables was almost the same as for English test grades are equally persistent.

The turmoil among his classmates also infected him, but his thirst for knowledge was stronger than other things. He appreciated the political sensitivity and enthusiasm of the classmates around him. He also participated in some political activities organized by the student union, but the premise must be that he did not If it affects his studies, at least he can't be asked to sneak away to listen to lectures or write notices during the compulsory courses of his major and those of his favorite geodesy.

He was just as emotional when he listened to the speeches of the student union cadres, but he could concentrate on listening and take notes as soon as he arrived in class.

Liu Xia was very happy that Professor Huang Youguang started to lead their class again, teaching them "Remote Sensing Geoscience Analysis and Mapping". I like it very much.

Huang Youguang also took courses in the Department of Geodesy, and Liu Xia often listened to them when he had time. When making sand tables, because there were many students and few materials, each student did not get many opportunities. Huang Youguang provided Liu Xia with the greatest convenience, and also put himself He lent him his camera and some original English books, and Liu Xia and his professor seemed to have become friends for years.
