Gentle oppression

The weather started to turn cold, but the excitement of the night market remained undiminished.

The cries of the stalls are mixed with the smell of various foods, and the crowds of people come and go, which is especially smokey.

Jiang Yu wore a white turtleneck thin sweater and a pullover sweater over it, and obediently walked beside Lu Zhuo.

He had never been to this kind of place since he was a child, and he was a little confused by the smoky barbecue stalls and the blinking neon lights. He looked around for a while in novelty, and asked Lu Zhuo, "What are you going to do?"

Afraid that he would be pushed away and lost, Lu Zhuo protected the person in front of him, and said while walking, "Have you never been to this kind of night market? There are many interesting shops and stalls where you can play small games."

Or because of physical reasons, Jiang Yu's parents would not allow Jiang Yu to go to a place where the environment is a bit complicated.

He was quickly attracted by a small ceramic rabbit on the small stall, he dragged Lu Zhuo and refused to leave, and then asked the stall owner in a soft voice: "Hello, how do you sell this?"

He was small, and he was dressed tenderly, and there was a man standing next to him who could be seen to be in good condition at a glance. The boss immediately sat down and raised the price: "One hundred and fifty."

Jiang Yu stuck out his tongue, stood up reluctantly, and said, "It's so expensive."

Lu Zhuo patted his little head and asked, "I like it very much?"

Jiang Yu said incredulously, "Yeah, I don't really like it either."

Lu Zhuo smiled, lifted his trouser leg, squatted down, picked up the little rabbit, looked at it and said, "Is it possible to get 15 of this thing for [-] yuan? Let's walk down the street, and [-] yuan will definitely get you [-]." buy one."

The boss glared at Lu Zhuo, and said dissatisfiedly: "Young man, don't talk nonsense, 100 yuan, 100 yuan must not be less."

Lu Zhuo rubbed his nose and said, "All right, let's go to another house to see."

Then Jiang Yu was about to leave with his arms around the dazed face, but the boss started yelling: "Fifteen is definitely not enough, I'll sell it to you for 20 yuan!"

Lu Zhuo decisively led Jiang Yu to continue walking.

The boss almost chased after him: "Okay, okay, anyway, I'm going to close the stall soon, I'll buy it for you for 15 yuan."

Only then did Lu Zhuo stop, took out his mobile phone to scan the QR code to transfer money, and bought the little ceramic rabbit for 15 yuan.

Jiang Yu was stunned, and when Lu Zhuo stuffed the little rabbit into his hand, he said with admiration, "You are so amazing."

What's so amazing, when he was a child, he had to negotiate the price of an ice cream with a small vendor for 10 minutes, which was much more technical than this.

Lu Zhuo thought in his heart that if he was not afraid that the bargaining price would be too fierce and the conversation would collapse, and he would not be able to buy the same little rabbit later, he would probably be able to bargain for ten yuan.

But to be able to be worshiped by the little boyfriend after a low price, Lu Zhuo felt that this little rabbit was worth [-] yuan.

He put the little rabbit into the hood of Jiang Yu's sweater, then took Jiang Yu's hand and said, "Take you to the front."

On Jiangyu Road, I bought another bunch of candied haws and held them up to eat. Then I saw a rather large stall with a wall of balloons, and some children were shooting balloons with toy guns.

Lu Zhuo turned his head and asked him, "Do you want to play?"

Jiang Yu asked "Huh?", pointed at himself and asked stupidly, "Me?"

Lu Zhuo snatched a candied haws from someone's hand and ate it, saying, "Yes, I remember that many children liked to play with this when I was young, but now many stalls are gone, only the night market here is still there."

Jiang Yu took a small bite of the candied haws, took off a quarter of the candied haws, and then said, "I'm not a child anymore, can I play with it?"

Lu Zhuo said: "Go ahead, you can play. Anyone who hasn't played in childhood is still a child."

Jiang Yu took a look at the kid who was playing the balloon just now, and left holding his parents' hands, holding in his arms a doll reward that he got for a good result in playing the balloon just now.

He was a little eager to play, but a little timid, he took Lu Zhuo's hand and whispered, "You stay with me."

Lu Zhuo let him sit in the shooting seat, scanned the QR code for him and paid.

Jiang Yu had never touched these things before. Listening to the boss explaining how to play the air gun, he looked for the front sight for a long time in a daze, but still shot nothing.

He subconsciously looked at Lu Zhuo for help, but then realized that his behavior was too childish, turned his head halfway and then turned back, and fired the second shot without a clue.

A total of [-] chances were played, Jiang Yu played [-] times and missed a single balloon.

It hits people too much.

Jiang Yu gave up on himself a little bit.

Lu Zhuo looked at his frowning brows, stroked his head amusedly, then hugged Jiang Yu from behind, took him to shoot, and finally burst a balloon.

There is no reward for breaking only one balloon, and the boss doesn't care about them.

Jiang Yu's eyes were easily satisfied.

One night, Lu Zhuo took him to play several street stall games that were mostly played by children.

Ferrule, big turntable lottery, claw machine...

Jiang Yu was sweating a little from playing, his eyes were shining with excitement, and he talked a little more, he asked Lu Zhuo, "Why did you suddenly think of bringing me here to play?"

In fact, this idea is not sudden at all.

Lu Zhuo thought about bringing Jiang Yu to play a long time ago.

There are many video game malls now, but this kind of "primitive" game stalls are rare. However, when Lu Zhuo was in primary and junior high school, there were many such stalls. However, he really didn't have much money in his hands, and he was often a member of the onlooker team. One member, only once after junior high school did he play with his classmates once.

At that time, he thought, this is really fun.

Then he made a plan, when the little one's parents came to pick him up, he must secretly bring the little one to play this game too.

He smiled softly and said, "It's not a whim, I wanted to take you to play like this a long time ago."

Jiang Yu tilted his head and looked at Lu Zhuo with puzzled eyes: "How early?"

Lu Zhuo gave a "hmm" and said, "I was waiting for you to pick me up from the orphanage. I planned a lot of naughty things to do with you. I remembered the coat you kept that day."

"I was twelve when I first met you, and the children in the orphanage had no money, and I didn't know that your family was so rich at the time, so I imagined that I would save a few dollars of pocket money every month in the future, and then bring you Go to the roadside stalls, and you can buy small cards or something."

At that time, he was very worried that he and Jiang Yu were two people, and the pocket money of a few yuan was not enough to spend, so he worked hard to practice his bargaining skills.

But this crop was a bit too silly, Lu Zhuo chose to turn off the microphone.

He looked around and said with emotion: "Fortunately, it's not too late to find you. The lively night markets in the past have long since disappeared. Even this place will be rectified next year. It's almost impossible to make up for it."

The surrounding area was still very lively, but Jiang Yu could hear his own "thumping" heartbeat.

He was annoyed because he missed having an older brother like Lu Zhuo in his childhood, and he was glad that Lu Zhuo was by his side at this time.

Still, no, forget it, late.

These four words are really wonderful.

He blinked and looked around, tugged at Lu Zhuo's sleeve, and said, "Brother, I want to drink sugarcane water!"

Lu Zhuo immediately understood, and cooperatively took out a crumpled ten-dollar bill in his pocket, and said, "We still have ten dollars left, brother will buy it for you."
