Reborn Beggar

Chapter No.16

At three o'clock in the morning the next day, Murong set off for the city on the thin man's small tricycle.

They go to wholesale fruit, the fruit is fresh in the early morning, and it is cheaper outside the city. In order to save costs, the skinny people ride for an hour and a half to the wholesale market outside the city every time.

Summer fruits are easier to sell, and one car can be sold in almost two days. The business is good, one car a day.Occasionally, when the weather is bad, the fruit cannot be sold, such as rain, the fruit will enter the belly of the skinny people, and if it is not good, it will not be sold.

The thin man said that in the past year, they hadn't bought fruit to eat, and they all ate the leftover fruit that couldn't be sold, which made him feel full when he saw the fruit now.

When they went to the wholesale market, there was a lot of noise from people and cars. Many people used minivans to pull a load of fruits. The thin man said that they were doing second-line wholesale and delivered to some fruit stores, even in townships and counties. The profit was low. , but the sales volume is large.

The fruits in some trucks are the source of goods from wholesalers, who wholesale from the fruit producing areas.

The fruit in the hands of the citizens has been changed hands by many people, and the price has naturally increased, and their mobile hawkers do not pay store transfer fees, utility bills, etc., and the prices are much lower than those in fruit shops.

Therefore, it is quite popular with the public.

It's just bad luck, being caught by the urban management, and things often happen that things are confiscated, and what's more, they will be caught and trained. Many real-life examples were also cited.

Murong was speechless when he heard this, he was mentally prepared for being a peddler, and what the skinny man said made him mentally prepared, but he still felt a little disobedient to be so close all of a sudden.

He used to sit on a soft seat, enjoy the air-conditioning, read documents every day, and order his subordinates to do some small things. If he wanted coffee or tea, someone would naturally deliver them to him.

At that time, he was just a small vice president of a branch company, not counting the climate, but his life was very different from his life at this time. Besides, he only worked to help Ji Yan in the future, and he worked hard without worrying about life and future. His only The pressure still comes from a relationship.

At this moment, he realized how ignorant he was. He lived in his own world and gained greater benefits every day, but he never opened his eyes to see the outside world.

The society is so big that he can't help everyone, let alone change the status quo, but he hasn't tried his best, and he hasn't seen the gap. He can also feel the feelings of some classmates who once said that he was a young master. up.

It is only now that he knows that there are many people in the world who have no food, many people who have left their hometowns for their lives, and he still can't help anything. What makes him feel guilty is that he has never understood.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think about Su Yi. Su Yi and his life are at the same level, but he is different.

Judging from his proficiency in cleaning yesterday, it is not difficult for Murong to guess that Su Yi is an independent person from personal to daily life, and he doesn't care about other things except his humble desire to protect Ji Yan. I can't even do a good job of sweeping the floor with a broom.

Even so, he was grateful to Ji Yan. It was because of Ji Yan in his heart that he would study hard and work hard. Otherwise, he would probably be wandering in the world like a wandering ghost, filled with emptiness in his heart.

The thin man introduced Murong to the wholesaler, and the thin man taught Murong how to look at the fruit.

The thin man has been stationed here for a long time, and many bosses know him. He sells miscellaneous fruits, but he buys them from a few stores.

Murong nodded to express his understanding.

He got acquainted with people along the way, and also understood the reason why the thin man bought goods in several stores.

Because of the respect of the other party, unlike some people, the eyes of their hawkers are not good, especially when they treat some big customers differently, which makes people feel really uncomfortable.

There is no such thing as high or low in this world, what matters is personal attitude.

When they returned, the sky began to turn white. After entering the city, their cycling speed slowed down, and the two of them rode alternately.

Murong once wanted to go out for a ride with Ji Yan. After learning for a while, he has a high understanding of sports. After many years, his body is a little thin now, but he can still move freely.

One person rides the bicycle slowly, and the other person sits at the back of the car and asks whether he wants to buy watermelon when he sees pedestrians.

Most of the roads they rode were in residential areas, and occasionally they lingered in the vegetable market.

The one-and-a-half-hour journey took them five or six hours of riding, and when they got home, it was close to noon, when the sun was shining.

The hard work was worth it. A quarter of the stock was sold in the morning, and the thin man said that the business would be better in the afternoon.

The two casually ate a bowl of noodles outside, then went home to catch up on sleep.

"Go out at three o'clock in the afternoon. I'll call you. Don't fall asleep." The thin man was still terrified when he thought about what happened yesterday. He had never seen a person who could sleep like this.

Of course he didn't know, it was because Murong and the others had traveled so much and hadn't slept well in the past few days.

When Murong went home, Su Yi went out, seeing the empty house, his heart was empty.

At this moment, he wanted to look at Su Yi, or listen to him, but he didn't know where Su Yi went and how to find him.

Murong entered the room, threw himself on the bed fiercely, the bed shook a little, and returned to calm.

After being bored for a while, I turned over and looked at the ceiling with wide-eyed eyes. There were tiny marks on the ceiling, which were left by the perennial humidity. An old-fashioned chandelier hung in the middle. Murong thought that it gave off a faint dark light at night, scraping away the bright light deep in memory. , I didn't feel anything in my heart.

He could hardly remember his past life. What impressed him most was the experience of sleeping on the construction site with Su Yi and walking through the streets and alleys every night.

Murong covered his eyes with his hands, in the darkness, he thought, he really couldn't go back, because he didn't want to go back at all.

The difference is that this time he is not sad, but has more expectations.

In just two months, his mentality changed too fast, so fast that he didn't feel real. He still remembered that night when he grabbed Su Yi and cried heartbreakingly, but his heart became heavier as the tears fell. emptiness.

Now in his heart, there is no romance or family affection, but it seems more fulfilling.

If possible, he hopes to live like this with Su Yi forever. He is very peaceful in his heart, because he has no evil thoughts at all and simply wants to be together.

Murong also knew that this expectation could not be realized, but he couldn't help but put his hands on his heart and pray silently.

Murong hugged the pillow in his arms, on which Su Yi's aura faintly exuded, sniffing contentedly, Murong put aside his wild thoughts and fell asleep in a daze.

It wasn't until a long time later that Murong realized that his behavior at that time was already on the verge of ambiguity, and he also deeply realized the naive side of his character. He was not worried that Su Yi would suffer, but he was very optimistic about Su Yi's choice. It's unreal, the sweetness of savoring happiness seems to be taken for granted.

It was very easy for Su Yi to go to work with Xiaopang. Today, he was going to be an extra. When he learned about the job content, Su Yi was deeply embarrassed.

It's really easy, just stand in the sun for a few hours, and Grandpa Pink will be there.

When it's okay, Xiaopang and Su Yi chat casually.

"Don't look at the thin man who is off-line, he will definitely take care of the idiot, the idiot seems to be very introverted, you are working hard, right?"

When Murong went out, Su Yi put two hundred hearts in his heart. A person who picks up waste for a day knows when and where to pick up. After his self-esteem is hit, he can stand up, and when he meets the warmth of others, he can still be moved.

Such a person is sensitive, fragile but optimistic and tenacious, while Murong has a different sensitivity to the economy than ordinary people. He only picks up scraps occasionally, and sells as much as he picks up, without negotiating the price.

And Murong was like this some time ago, and then he piled up together, selling more at a time, and went to negotiate with the boss.

He has no reason to be worried about such a person, not to mention that there is a thin man beside him, even if he has only known him for a day, he knows that the thin man is the kind of person who is careless about trivial matters.

As for being a bit introverted, Murong's mood is almost all discovered by himself, and the occasional sadness only erupts when he can't bear it. Su Yi deeply doubts that Murong will suddenly cry while hugging him as a stranger. A large part of the reason is, It was because he was on the verge of collapse, he just appeared at that time, and he didn't harm him, so he couldn't control it.

After that experience, his involuntary subconscious recognized him as a good person. No matter how you looked at it, Murong's trust in him was a bit inexplicable, unless he had never exposed his vulnerable side like that, and when he was suddenly seen, it happened that he needed comfort, so Let nature take its course and rely on trust.

But Murong encountered many things later, and Murong avoided the serious ones and took them lightly. He even guessed what happened on the first day when he went out. tell him.

One morning, the beautiful and poignant figure of the back bathed in the morning light appeared in my mind...

With a pain in his heart, Su Yi secretly clenched his fists.

Although Su Yi didn't understand why Xiaopang thought he was working hard because of Murong's introversion, he still replied: "...It's okay!"

Xiaopang patted him on the shoulder, and smiled as if comforting and understanding. This smile looked very strange in Su Yi's eyes. Su Yi thought, he wouldn't have delusions, would he?Why do you feel that you are not on the right number?Or have you become stupid?

The work was easy, and Xiaopang and Su Yi went home at seven o'clock in the afternoon.

Su Yi followed Xiaopang to the vegetable market, and this was the first time Su Yi went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.

At the gate of the vegetable market, Xiaopang asked with a smile, "Hey, do you know how to cook?"

Su Yi shrugged and shook his head, Xiaopang patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said meaningfully: "Haha, I didn't know it before, but now I do, the taste is not bad, go, let me teach you!"

Su Yi really wanted to ask, why should I learn to cook?

After thinking about it, he and Murong lived outside, and it was not a solution to solve it all the time outside. The dishes, chopsticks, kitchen knives, electric frying pan, dining table, etc. were all prepared, so he silently accepted.

Xiaopang smiled and shouted beside him: "Hey, it's hard to be a good man!"

Su Yi gave him a sideways glance, which at first sounded like a complaint, but the happy look on his face really made one want to punch him.

Su Yi finally concluded that he was old and couldn't keep up with the thinking of young people.

Many aunts in the vegetable market knew Xiaopang, and Xiaopang introduced people and vegetables while picking vegetables. Therefore, Su Yi was praised from the head of the vegetable market to the end of the market, and his smile was distorted, but Xiaopang laughed more and more happily.

After returning home, Xiao Pang plunged into cooking at home by himself, and lost two books introducing the dishes, with the recipes written on them.

Su Yi stood at the door holding two books in his hands, very helpless.

Is this called teaching?This one is self-taught, right?

Resisting the urge to knock on Xiaopang's forehead, Su Yi silently went into the room to fumble around.

A very simple dish, vegetarian fried potato shreds, because Xiaopang only gave him potatoes.

Su Yi followed the steps in the book step by step, his movements were clumsy and full of care, but he did it well.

When the dishes were not ready, Murong and the thin man laughed and went home with joy on their faces.

The house they rent does not have a kitchen, just a living room and bedroom.Therefore, cooking is also done in the living room. According to the thin man, this is how people here cook.

After Murong and the thin man cleared the table, they got together to chat. From their chat, Su Yi knew that they had done something bad today.

The scale is broken, selling fruit, the scale is an important tool, without it, how can the transaction be carried out?

When he was about to close the stall and go home, Murong suggested to dispose of it altogether, because the thin man said earlier that there might be rain tomorrow, and he would not be able to sell it if it rained, and it would be difficult to sell the fruit after it had been kept fresh for a few days.

Thin people are right when they think about it. The way they deal with it is to sell watermelons individually. After selling watermelons for such a long time, thin people can estimate the approximate weight, calculate the price, and remove the odds.

In the afternoon, they shouted: "It's dealt with, fresh watermelon, XX one, XX two..."

In this way, many people are attracted, and they have never heard of selling watermelons directly, so don't they know how to sell them?Seeing Scale's body lying on the ground again, he immediately understood.

It didn't take long for the watermelons to be robbed, and many of the watermelons that should have been sold tomorrow were sold out early, so when they came back, the two of them were all smiles.

What makes them even happier is that if they counted it as a loss and were robbed, they won a big victory.

But now what they are discussing is how to sell the fruit in the future, Murong suggested that they can weigh each one and let the customers choose by themselves.

In addition, when increasing the variety of fruits, summer is coming to an end, and melons are not so easy to sell.

Su Yi listened silently, with a small arc on the corner of his mouth, and he said that Murong has a keenness that ordinary people don't have in this area.

After the plan was finalized, Murong noticed that Su Yi, who was cooking, always devoted himself to everything. When he entered the door, he only yelled and came back, and didn't care about Su Yi's response. At this moment, he was found, and he was obviously stunned. .
