Eh?his baby is mine

After the beginning of spring, the sun came out for a few days, and the temperature suddenly dropped again. It was cold and rainy all day long, which seemed to be colder than winter. The number of people rushing to the morning market dropped sharply, making it difficult to do business.

Under Liu Chong's consideration, his business with Huang Cheng was completely separated. The two still shared a tricycle, but they would no longer sell vegetables together. After all, Huang Cheng also had to save some money for the future.

The weather is so cold that getting up in the middle of the night is a torture, but Huang Cheng and Liu Chong never hummed, as long as there is no heavy rain, they will not waste a day of earning money.

However, due to the weather, the business of the hawkers is bleak. Going to the morning market can often only sell enough for the cost. Everyone can't sell out the goods on the same day. The same is true for Liu Chong and the others. It is very strict, and the leftovers are dragged to the gate of the Dongyang vegetable market to sell, and they are always chased by the urban management. If you are a little slow to react, even the goods and baskets will be taken away by the urban management.

The timid ones dare not do business during this period after being frightened a few times, and wait for the inspection to pass before doing business.

Huang Cheng saw that the business was sluggish, so he took the initiative to spend money to buy a pair of baskets. After finishing the morning market, he went to Dongyang District to share some of the goods. The two of them sold together in one place, so they could share some traffic and sell more goods. Once the chengguan appeared, they carried more than 80 kilograms of goods with their thin bodies, followed by Liu Chong, who carried more than 100 kilograms, and walked around the streets.

Even so, there will still be leftovers every day, and business is not very easy in cold weather. The two of them can only go home at seven or eight in the evening, and the money they earn is not as good as before. The total is only about [-] yuan.

During the rectification period, the urban management didn’t get off work until six o’clock in the afternoon, and even at noon there were people on duty in turn. The hawkers didn’t dare to sell vegetables in Dongyang District. Liu Chong was distressed that he was always running for nothing, so he simply refused to let him deliver meals, and ate outside.

After a few days like this, both Liu Chong and Huang Cheng inevitably had backaches and backaches, and the skin on their shoulders was worn out. The next day, they grinned as usual, pressed the shoulder poles on their shoulders and continued to carry them around the streets. I can’t make much money, but it’s better than nothing. Mantou has been able to eat supplementary food for more than three months now, and there are many places to spend money. Besides, I still owe the money to Dean Zhao. If I don’t pay back the money I earned as soon as possible Not the same as yourself.

Cheng Yang saw the hardships of the two of them in his eyes, although he didn't say anything, he was anxious and distressed, and he didn't want to stay at home anymore, so he simply waited for Liu Chong to come back and told him that he wanted to do business with him.

Liu Chong heard the words and frowned for a long time before asking: "If you go to do business with me, what will our son do?"

Cheng Yang wanted to go into business with him entirely because his body had already recovered, and he didn't want to let Liu Chong alone make an impulsive decision. Now he couldn't help being stunned after being asked a rhetorical question, so he hesitated and said, "Take him with you." go."

Liu Chong smiled, stretched out his hand to hold Cheng Yang into his arms, rubbed his chin against the top of his head, and said, "Why is that, my son is still so young, what if you take him out if he gets cold, even if you want to go, We have to wait for the weather to warm up."

Cheng Yang leaned in Liu Chong's arms, and gradually calmed down. Knowing that it was unrealistic to carry steamed buns to do business, he felt a little depressed, "I don't want you to work hard alone."

Liu Chong patted Cheng Yang on the back, and said casually: "What's the matter, it's just a little hard work these few days, and it will be fine after a while."

However, this period of time has passed for a long time. The inspection lasted for nearly a month. During this period, many hawkers' goods were confiscated. He ran fast as usual every day, but he often walked by the river without getting his shoes wet. Huang Cheng was taken away once. Fortunately, there were not many goods left. I heard from others that he could redeem the baskets and goods with money at night. They don't bother to go when they come out, and they won't beg for dozens of dollars.

It’s not bad to make a hundred yuan a day, and it’s better than working for others.

In mid-April, when the weather warmed up, the inspection finally came to an end.

The morning market became lively again, and the business also heated up. Cheng Yang, in order to prepare for the future, began to carry the five-month-old steamed buns to help Liu Chong and the others. Except for delivering meals and taking care of steamed buns, eating and drinking, he was basically with Liu Chong all day long.

Liu Chong had no objection to this, but would teach Yang to do business instead. Cheng Yang learned things very quickly, and his ability to draw inferences from one instance was very strong, and Liu Chong instantly had another helper.

At the beginning of May, when the weather was officially warm, the stone bridge in front of Dongyang Vegetable Farm started to be rebuilt and was closed. The construction team built an iron bridge across the river in a nearby grove. Otherwise, it would take a long detour to get to the other side. Countless people pass the iron bridge to go to the vegetable market every day. Hawkers find business opportunities and develop on the iron bridge one after another.

The grove is a few hundred meters away from the vegetable market. Because it is not under the jurisdiction of the urban management, they can set up a stall and sell vegetables here with peace of mind. Pedestrians have to pass through the iron bridge, and the business will not be too bad if there is a large flow of people. As time went on, the best position began to emerge slowly. As long as you occupy a good position, your business will always be better than others.

In order to grab the position, everyone started to look for things to occupy the place. The hawkers have been occupying a place for a long time to set up a stall, and this place will somehow become someone’s territory. To let others move away, this is his position and so on.

There are many quarrels among the hawkers over the territory, and acquaintances turn against each other almost every day.

Liu Chong, who has been in business for a period of time, is naturally well versed in this way. Not long after he set up a stall here, he has already started to occupy a place, and he even took a good place. Even now, even if they didn't rush to the iron bridge early, No one will be in their place.

There is a fixed stall, so you don’t have to carry around, so it’s a lot easier. Not to mention, the business is also easy to do. It’s not a problem to get five hundred catties of vegetables and sell them out every day. It’s not a problem to earn four to five hundred on average. It’s not a problem for word of mouth. The excellent Liu Chong said that occupying a good position here not only allowed his business to flourish, but also reached verbal agreements with many restaurant buyers to get the goods they needed. Can make a small profit.

The iron bridge is getting more and more lively, and the number of people selling vegetables is increasing day by day, and there is no one in the Hedao office to take care of the hawkers. It seems that this place has become the second vegetable market in Dongyang District.

During this period, Liu Chong also met a lot of people, and had a good relationship with a few other vendors selling fruits and melon seeds. The relationship between selling the money and keeping the goods neatly.

But recently, a group of dry goods sellers suddenly came to the bridge. The other party not only forcibly occupied the position where Zhang Hua, the fruit seller, had been setting up a stall for a long time, but also often insulted others, which was very arrogant.

Others dare not say more, this group of people are notorious, and if they are in a hurry, they will probably use a knife. Even Zhang Hua can only suffer from being dumb under the persuasion of his wife, and found a not very ideal place to set up a stall again.

There was no urban management to disturb, and the days were calm, and the flow of people on the bridge was divided into time slots. There was no business from one to two or three o'clock, and everyone came to sleep after eating and drinking. Many vendors began to doze off. Bored, he took two bananas for his daughter-in-law to stay at the booth, and came to chat with Liu Chong for a smoke, but usually Liu Chong watched them smoke, and every time he smoked, the other party would consciously stay away from Cheng Yang with the child.

Zhang Hua handed the banana to Cheng Yang who was reading the newspaper while hugging the sleeping steamed bun, patted Liu Chong and his "little brother" Huang Cheng on the shoulders, and motioned to go to the side to smoke.

Zhang Hua sat on the stone and shook the soot, and said angrily: "This group of people are really too much! I can't fucking swallow this more and more."

Huang Cheng was expressionless, while Liu Chong frowned and asked, "What's wrong with them?"

Zhang Hua sighed, "I don't know where they wholesale the apples from, and they sell them at low prices! I couldn't sell any of my pile of apples! They deliberately messed up the market. You say it's annoying."

"If it doesn't work, don't sell apples for the time being." Liu Chong said, "We don't have much to say about how to sell the goods that others paid for, and don't take the initiative to cause trouble. They are all desperadoes."

Zhang Hua naturally knew this, "I'm not going to interfere with them, just thinking about it is too irritating."

Huang Cheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Find someone to beat them up, drive them off the bridge and kill their vigor. I don't believe how far a group of outsiders can endure."

"Don't talk nonsense." Liu Chong said solemnly: "Peace is the most important thing in business. Now you target them for no reason and let them know that there are troubles waiting for you. If you still want to sell vegetables around here, don't cause trouble. Have you heard less about them?"

Huang Cheng obviously dismissed those people, but didn't say much.

No one paid attention to this matter deliberately, but this conversation seemed to be a foreshadowing.

Gradually entering June, the sun finally has heat, and the wind blowing in the woods no longer makes people feel cold and shivering, but it is still very cool.

Liu Chong asked Huang Cheng, who was opposite him, to help him watch the goods, and went home with Cheng Yang to cook and eat. After feeding the steamed buns and changing the diapers, he brought the rice packed for Huang Cheng. Just as he arrived in the woods, the phone rang.

Liu Chong took out his mobile phone and looked, it was Huang Cheng.

From a distance, Huang Chengzheng could be seen calling. Liu Chong only thought that he was calling to urge them, so he hung up the phone without paying attention, and walked to the vegetable stall with his son and Cheng Yang in his arms, only to find that the fruit seller Zhang Hua's wife was also there, and the other party looked around in a panic, crying and stamping. When he turned his head and saw Liu Chong and the others, his eyes lit up, and he ran to them and grabbed Liu Chong's sleeve and shouted: "Brother Liu, you Hurry up and help Zhang Hua, he is about to be killed!"

Liu Chong looked puzzled, looked at Cheng Yang, handed the steamed buns to Cheng Yang, and asked him, "Sister-in-law, tell me what's going on slowly."

The woman shook her head, tugged at Liu Chong's sleeve and left, "It's too late! Go and help him, or he'll be gone if it's too late!"

Liu Chong was dragged away by the other party in a daze, looked up and found that the people on the bridge were all standing with their backs to them and looked at the other side of the bridge, as if they were watching something lively.

Cheng Yang felt uneasy, and was about to stop him as he followed up with the steamed buns in his arms. Suddenly, a few women on the bridge pushed aside the onlookers and ran down the bridge in panic, yelling, "Call the police, call the police, someone is dead..."

Zhang Hua's wife let out a horrific cry when she heard the words, let go of Liu Chong and rushed up the slope of the iron bridge.

Huang Cheng strode towards them at this time, and before Liu Chong asked, he consciously said, "Zhang Hua didn't know how to provoke those people, and suddenly started fighting."

Before the words were finished, the hawkers suddenly dispersed in a panic, took up their burdens and ran down the bridge.

Liu Chong frowned, realizing the seriousness of the matter, and while protecting Cheng Yang to retreat to a safe place, he asked the two to wait for him here, and ran to the bridge without waiting for Cheng Yang and the others to answer.
