Teacher Xiao Zhong's adventures in the countryside

After finishing speaking, Zhong Yiqiu was a little embarrassed, worried that Fang Cuidong would think too much, after all, it was not common sense for a man to buy clothes for a man.

Fang Coltsfoot didn't have much reaction but asked calmly, "What do you want to buy?"

"Let's buy a down jacket," Zhong Yiqiu explained guiltily, "I'm not familiar with the place here, but he helped me a lot, so I want to buy a jacket as a thank you."

Fang Tiaodong smiled and glanced at him without saying a word.

Most of the clothes sold were of the same style. Zhong Yiqiu originally wanted to buy a down jacket, but before walking a few steps, he was caught by a row of leather jackets hanging on a car.

The boss is a middle-aged uncle, but he wears very fashionable clothes and perms the popular half-length curly hair. Seeing Zhong Yiqiu and Fang Kuantong, who are handsome in appearance, although simple in dress, the clothes are not the ones that can be bought in rural areas, so he immediately greeted them with dancing and dancing.

"Young man, you have eyesight! Did you see—I have bomber jackets, I'm the only one in the whole street!" The boss shook his legs and gave a thumbs up, proudly pointing to his shelf.

Zhong Yiqiu looked at it and liked it very much. He opened it and it was quite thick and padded inside. Fang Kuantong stretched out two fingers to touch the outside and whispered to him, "It's made of real leather."

"How much?" Zhong Yiqiu asked.

"100 yuan a piece, no bargaining!"

Zhong Yiqiu felt a chill in his heart and thought it was too expensive, but he agreed that the dress was indeed worth the price. He only brought 100 yuan, and he lost a penny after buying the clothes.

Seeing the hesitation on his face, the boss immediately added, "Don't think it's expensive! These clothes are different from ordinary ones. The outer leather is no problem for many years. Besides, this style, let alone ten years, can be worn in 20 years. It's as stylish as it comes out!"

"But it's too short. I want to buy a long down jacket to resist the wind."

"What are you talking about! I don't want to talk to you laymen!" The boss's face immediately collapsed and he was unhappy. He spoke Mandarin with a dialect that he didn't know, "There is nothing more windproof than this dress." That's right, this style is completely made according to the style and fabric of the pilot's uniform jacket, the pilot's wind can resist, you can still go to the sky!"

Fang Coltsfoot said suddenly, "Two pieces are 100."

Not to mention the boss, Zhong Yiqiu was stunned, he didn't expect him to bargain with a cold look.

"Not for sale!" The boss shook his head wildly as if he had been insulted.

Fang Kuantong still looked calm, and called Zhong Yiqiu, "Let's go."

Zhong Yiqiu followed him unconsciously in the mist, and felt reluctant to part with this dress. After walking a few stalls, they only sold down jackets and padded jackets, even if they had jackets, they were not as good as the style and fabric just now.He was a bit regretful and pondered whether to persuade Fang Coltsfoot to go back.

After walking a few more cars, I met a seller of sleeve sleeves, knee pads and hats. Fang Kuantong suggested that he buy a pair of knee pads for Uncle Yi.

Zhong Yiqiu picked it up, looked at it, and was about to ask the price, when a person behind ran through the crowd and shouted, "Stop, you two, young people!"

When I came back, I saw that it was the boss from just now, with clothes all over his body and running like a beggar gang leader in a martial arts movie.In front of the two of them, he bent down and supported his knees to breathe heavily, opened his palm and turned it inside out twice and said, "Two pieces are 150, the lowest price."

"Didn't you say that you won't bargain at all?" Zhong Yiqiu wondered.

Fang Kuantong, who was quietly succeeding next to him: "..."

boss:"……"

Fang Kuantong has always felt that although Zhong Yiqiu is young, he is a steady person, warm-hearted and polite. Although sometimes he speaks a little childishly, it is normal at this age.The first time I saw him so straight, I was caught off guard, so I quickly agreed to the boss and pushed him back.

"My clothes are so distressed—" the boss babbled along the way, "Rural people are reluctant to buy such good clothes, otherwise I wouldn't sell them to you at a loss, and next year I will buy cheap ones like everyone else!"

The jackets are only black, and he took off two, "It's just this size, you two can wear it."

"I want two sizes bigger." Zhong Yiqiu said.

"Cough—me too." Fang Tiaodong continued.

Zhong Yiqiu turned around and asked, "You bought it for Zhou Lushu?"

"Ah."

"You are..." Zhong Yiqiu wanted to ask what kind of relationship you two had, but felt that it was not good to ask so bluntly.

"We grew up together. The two adults are friends. We were born in the same hospital and in the same delivery room. He is 3 minutes older than me." Fang Tiaodong said as he took the clothes and folded them. Maybe it was because he was in a good mood or because he noticed this. It's fun to be dumbfounded.

"Wow! It's unbelievable!" Zhong Yiqiu sighed, Fang Kuidong smiled lightly, and everyone who heard it would marvel at their fate.

"Only 3 minutes, he looks much bigger than you!"

Fang Coltsfoot, caught off guard again: "..."

With only 25 yuan left on him, Zhong Yiqiu wanted to buy another military coat for Xiao Mingye. He often wore Uncle Yi's when he went out, and that one was old and not cold-resistant.

"What is he going out for?" Fang Kuidong lost his temper when he was taken aback, and the two became closer and relaxed in speaking.

"To make money, he helps escort the trucks in some factories." Zhong Yiqiu said with soreness in his heart.

"How much is a trip?"

"Depending on the distance, you can earn one or two hundred dollars in half a month."

Fang Kuidong was thoughtful, thought for a while and said: "The recent purchasers in our orchard seem to be looking for someone to deliver the goods. I'll go back and ask Zhou Lvshu."

He is a cautious person and will not easily promise or agree to others. He is very sure that he can say this. Whether it can be successful or not, it is a help. Zhong Yiqiu immediately thanked him.The orchards in their area are very large, and the purchasers are all from other surrounding provinces and cities, and even farther north. Sometimes a dozen trucks run together for a shipment, and the volume is large, and the bosses are rich.

The military cotton coat was asking for 50 yuan, but Fang Kuangdong paid 25 yuan for a single mouth.

Zhong Yiqiu was completely conquered by Fang Tiandong. When he bargained for the price, his face was alienated and indifferent, as if the boss owed him money. After being rejected, he turned around and left without any regrets, which made the boss feel that it was a pity not to sell to him.

Zhong Yiqiu didn't have enough money and borrowed 10 yuan from Fang Kui Dong, and he bought the things he wanted so quickly. He was very happy to take Fang Kui Dong back to the street to eat.

The two of them smelled the aroma and came to a small tofu stall. The tofu was ground on the spot, and the tofu was hot and trembling just out of the pan. They were placed in bowls, poured with soup and sesame oil, tender and fragrant.It only costs [-] cents for a bowl of food for one person. Fang Tsuosong is still full of food but he can’t eat any more. After looking around, there is nothing to pack and take away. He asked the boss when the stall will be closed, thinking about eating again at noon.

"Let's go to see the acrobatics." Zhong Yiqiu led him to hide from the crowd and dodge forward. When he reached the square, it was difficult to walk an inch. The crowd was surrounded by more than ten floors. The two of them standing on their feet could vaguely see someone under the high platform inside. Playing with two swords.

Zhong Yiqiu looked around and there was no place to stand, the trees next to it were full of people riding on them.Fang Coltsfoot was a little annoyed by being pushed around, and the people around were all smoking and eating snacks, and the people who smoked all kinds of smells were dizzy, "Forget it, let's go and see something else."

"Okay." Zhong Yiqiu agreed and the two squeezed outside again.

"Hey! Zhong Yiqiu—" Someone called from a distance, Zhong Yiqiu looked up and glanced around, but couldn't tell which direction he was in.

"Here—" someone shouted from the platform above the mall.

It's Lin Yufang. She didn't work in the mall today. She can earn 50 yuan a day by helping people from other places to do business. location.

Lin Yufang was wearing a pretty yellow coat today, and a pair of black high-heeled shoes ran over and took the two of them around to the backyard of the mall to go upstairs.

The platform was also crowded with people, but anyway, the view was good enough to see the performance in the middle.Just as Zhong Yiqiu stood firm, Lin Yufang asked, "Did Xiao Mingye not come?"

"Here we go to see the car."

"Come to my house for lunch!" Lin Yufang invited with a smile.

Alarm bells sounded in Zhong Yiqiu's heart, "No, thank you... We have already discussed to treat Dr. Fang to dinner at noon."

Fang Tiaodong, who was watching the play seriously, said, "..."

Lin Yufang didn't force her, she turned her face away.

The performance just now was over, and the people inside brought out three big jars, and the crowd got excited and shouted and applauded.Zhong Yiqiu didn't know what they were going to do!Do you want to perform Iron Head Broken Pot?

Before I had time to think about it, I saw three seven or eight-year-old girls wearing tight performance costumes came out, first saluted the audience, and then stood in front of a jar, jumped to the edge of the jar at the same time with the gongs and drums, and then stretched in One foot slowly retracted the whole body into the jar, only one head was exposed!

Zhong Yiqiu looked horrified. Although the jar was quite big, it was only one-third the size of a child's body. How did it fit in it?

"Could there be a hole dug under the jar?" He turned his head and asked Fang Coltsfoot.

"No, it just got in." Fang Kutton's expression was not good, and he explained: "Children's bones and joints are movable when they are young, and they can shrink in."

"Does it hurt when you shrink?"

"very painful."

Zhong Yiqiu thought that this was too cruel, how could parents have the heart to let their children learn this, but he didn't dare to ask, real life has its own ups and downs and helplessness, which cannot be explained clearly by a few words of sympathy and blame from outsiders.

While he was in a daze, suddenly louder noises erupted around him, and a round-headed man next to him yelled so much that he sprayed Fang Coltsfoot all over his body. Smaller jars came up, only as small as the usual wine jars.His scalp was numb and he couldn't bear to watch it any longer, just when Fang Kuipong turned around and said, "I don't want to watch it, let's go on."

The two came out together, now seeing the boiling crowd and the red tide of excitement on everyone's faces, they didn't feel that it was lively, but rather shuddered.

Fang Kuidong wanted to go to the bookstall, asked the way and walked towards a narrow street, Zhong Yiqiu was still thinking about what happened just now, no matter how hard he thought about it, he couldn't figure out how the bones and joints shrunk together.

"Does that girl like Xiao Mingye?" Fang Tientong began to gossip for the first time.

"Ah?" Zhong Yiqiu swallowed unconsciously, "Well, how did you see that?"

Fang Kuidong turned his head to look at him, and his peach blossom eyes smiled very charmingly, "Eyes—eyes can hide any emotion, except admiration."

Zhong Yiqiu's heart was beating like a drum...
