1999

Shenzhen is a city in southern China, with long summers and short winters. In the past ten years, seven years have not been very cold, but this year it looks unusual. After November, a typhoon suddenly blew, 30 The high temperature dropped to ten degrees within a few days. Before the big market in Ping Township opened, the cotton sweaters in Life Street were already sold out. Recently, there were many online shoppers. Busy, almost missed the trip.

The days passed by in the blink of an eye, Huda remembered singing in a song, the years passed by my cheeks, leaving scars, he thought it was funny, how can there be such lyrics, the real age is more cruel than that, not to mention the scars It's so light, it makes you feel nothing at all, just inadvertently, slipping away a lot of things, people are just one year older, older, and older, staying in the stable The days in the world are less and less each year.

There was no air conditioner on the first floor, and a small sun that had just been purchased was leaning against the corner. Huda stared at the warm red light in the spotlight, groaned inexplicably, and stood up grabbing his pants.

The new delivery car outside the door was unloading goods, the engine was not turned off, rumbling, the door was open again, when the cold wind blew, the wind chimes hanging on the door jingled non-stop.

The depths of the store are very warm, especially on the second floor. Huda has spread several old blankets on the wooden floor, so that they no longer creak when walking and keep warm. The air conditioner is turned on and a A humidifier to prevent people from getting angry.

Wu Jiusheng is memorizing aloud. He first reads the knowledge points in the reference book, and then recites them to the window. Remember the details.He read it over and over again, and Hu Da rolled up his sleeves downstairs and listened to it. He felt that Wu Jiusheng remembered it very quickly. The young man had already changed his recitation, obviously he had already memorized the previous one.

Very good, Huda yawned, and opened the front door completely, the cold wind came in at once, and the small corner behind the computer desk that had been heated by the little sun was chilly again.

"It's been very cold for a few days." He comforted the courier who was rubbing his hands and said, "The weather in Shenzhen is like this. The temperature suddenly drops in winter and then heats you up to thirty degrees again. Some people may have to change into short sleeves before they have time to unpack these couriers."

The courier nodded.

"Who says it's not. Don't catch up with the seven-day return without reason, then I won't be able to sleep well."

"It's almost Chinese New Year, young people have worked hard, there's nothing wrong with it."

After Hu Da finished speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled.Seeing that November is about to end, everyone knows that this year's New Year's Eve arrives early, and the Chinese New Year will be celebrated in January. Let's pile up all the good things of the year until this winter, and get rid of the old and welcome the new, so that next year will be even better.

While talking, several workers rushed in from the alley of Life Street. In time for the break, they all came to the store to pick up bedding and move back to the dormitory as soon as they received a text message.A few months ago, Wu Jiusheng suddenly resigned from his job in the factory. This incident is very famous in Xiaoping Township. Those who know him and those who don’t know him know that there is a young man who has just been promoted in the chip workshop. After starting a small business with the landlord, I suddenly quit my job, and shut myself in the house all day long to test for a certificate. There are many people who are amazed, and there are more people who watch the excitement. I feel that young people are aggressive. , I can't figure out how many catties I have.It is said that college students are becoming less and less valuable now. What is the use of having a degree? The salary of 8000 yuan a month on the assembly line is not necessarily earned by a white-collar worker in a small office building who graduated from a serious university in the city. number.

Hu Da has been in the world for a long time. You don’t need to speak, you can guess the mentality of this group of people just by looking at their faces. He doesn’t say much. Every time he handles their express mail, he is quick. He signs the bill, picks up the goods and leaves. Whoever wants to stay in the store for a few more times, Huda's face with scars turns cold, moves a stool and sits at the door, staring at people, staring so hard that he can't stop looking at the hearts of those people upstairs. Hairy.When someone with a heart sees them, they will always restrain themselves more or less.

This time, he is a regular customer. He has known Wu Jiusheng before, and he has some friendship. He often recommends Huda’s shop to his good workers. He is open-mouthed and has a good heart. Ask Hu Da a few things about Wu Jiusheng, how are you preparing, when will the exam be, how sure are you of passing the exam, what kind of qualifications are there, and what kind of good way out will you get if you get it? No matter how Da answered him, and how many times he answered, he would still answer his questions the next time he came, with a simple and honest smile on his face, afraid that the young people upstairs would not hear him and yelled to the floor: "Ah Sheng is a college student. Don't forget to invite us to dinner!"

Every time at this time, the voice of the young man upstairs stuttering and stopping for a while, the voice also shrunk down a lot in embarrassment, and it was not until the person left that he could regain his previous state.

Hu Da bit his cheek every time, and he remembered the man's face by heart. This time, he took the initiative to greet him as soon as he entered the room.

"Last time you asked me to help you buy all the things I bought for you when I went to the city to replenish the goods. I bought them at the few brand stores you designated, and I kept the receipt packaging for you. You see Let's see."

Xu Daqiang has been working in the purification workshop for four or five years. His hometown is in Central China, half of China is separated from Shenzhen. His family is in a mountainous area. He has a wife and two children. I don’t know how many people envy him. This year he took annual leave. , preparing to go home for the New Year two weeks in advance, and I asked Huda to buy gifts for the two children, toys, stationery, and children's clothing for the children. People I know have touched it, so I feel more at ease than buying directly online. much.He was going to yell a few words when he entered the door this time. Before he could say thank you, Hu Da grabbed him and stuffed a lot of receipts in his chest. Just as he bowed his head to count the clues, Hu Da enthusiastically put them in All the packages were opened and he was asked to check them himself.

"Don't, don't, Boss Hu!" Xu Daqiang rushed to stop him, "I bought these for the children, I won't, I won't take them away, I'll just take a look and send them back to you, here you are It’s cheaper to send, and I save two yuan per kilogram than calling a service call to make an appointment myself.”

Hu Da expected that he would say that, so he nodded to Xu Daqiang.

"The packing box is ready for you."

He rushed to the shelf in the corner, and when he came back, he brought an open corrugated box. When Xu Daqiang saw him, his face turned green.It was a big Durex packing box.

He forcibly stopped Huda's swift movements of packing him.

"I'm begging you, Boss Hu! I'm going to send this to my father-in-law, and it's packed with children's things. You——here, who doesn't know me? If the villagers see me, why don't you go back to celebrate the New Year? , you change it for me, change it!"

Hu Da paused for a moment, raised his head and gave him a simple and honest smile, which was exactly the same as the straightforwardness in his expression when he shouted at Wu Jiusheng every time he came in.

"It's really gone. There's been a lot of walking recently, and this is the only box left in the store."

He still had to continue working, and Xu Daqiang couldn't control 21. He kicked all kinds of documents into his pockets, and snatched the things that were about to be packed into the box with his hands, covering them with both hands.

"I won't send it, I won't send it!"

"No mail?" Huda asked.He also wanted to persuade him to stop him, but Xu Daqiang had already stepped back several steps, as if he was suddenly afraid of losing someone, he didn't say hello, picked up his things, left a few polite words, and didn't even count the money carefully , and ran against the wind.

Where would Huda have no packing boxes? The backyard where beer crates used to be piled up is full all day long. Stepping on the phalanx made of corrugated paper, you can climb all the way to the courtyard wall.

Reaching out and not hitting the smiling face, Hu Da has been in small business for several years, and he knew that to deal with this kind of guy who just makes trouble for others with his enthusiasm, he can only retaliate in the same way.

He shook his neck, closed the door again, turned his head, and found the young man standing on the stairs in a daze, halfway down the stairs, and looking over with a puzzled expression.

"Has Brother Daqiang been here? I seem to have heard his voice just now."

Huda sighed heavily.

"It was so hard to ask someone to leave, why did you still come down?"

Wu Jiusheng understood what he meant and smiled embarrassedly.

"Every time he came, he clamored to see me. This time, he came and ran away without saying a word. I'm not used to it, so I couldn't help but want to come down and have a look."

"You are so young, why are you so thoughtful?"

Huda walked over and knocked him on the head, and threw the empty Durex box back under the shelf.

The young man glanced at the cardboard box, remembering Huda's abnormal behavior of rummaging through the pile of boxes in the backyard and putting it away a while ago. After realizing it, he looked at Huda helplessly.

"Brother Daqiang is different from those people. He has no evil intentions, but he just got a little noisy, and he only delayed a few minutes. It didn't bother me."

Huda is also calm.

"If he wants to make any bad intentions, I won't let him enter this door. I'm doing it for his own good. It's more sincere to bring the gift back to the child by myself."

He spread his hands, shameless, and admitted to Wu Jiusheng that he did it on purpose just now.

He just wanted to invite Xu Daqiang, the great Buddha, away as soon as possible, so as not to disturb the young people's study.Now the courier collection point modified by Jiujiu BBQ is now the most popular small store in the Pingxiang factory area. The famous courier companies around have signed an agreement with Huda, and all the courier items from all areas will be pulled to the store for storage. , the couriers were scrambling to give Huda a business card, and the small pen holder next to the desk could not be filled. At the end of summer, Huda’s tobacco monopoly license was also issued, and the store sold cigarettes, daily necessities, The souvenir business is doing well. Every week, Hu Da has to set aside two days to pay the daily salary to Aunt Liu at the steamed stuffed bun shop next door.

The business is on the right track, and Hu Da has no other worries. Today's one doesn't count, and if one trick doesn't work, there will always be another trick.

Wu Jiusheng looked at him in surprise.

"Boss Hu, you have changed." He sighed exaggeratedly, "You have learned how to bully customers."

It was rare for him to change his name to Boss Hu Dahu. Hu Da was not ashamed but proud, as if he had received some praise and was very grateful.

The youths on the left and right interrupted the recitation. Hu Da put his shoulders on him and pulled him down the stairs, to the computer, and sat down with his shoulders on his shoulders. Open the Excel spreadsheet in the folder for Wu Jiusheng.

"The temperature has changed recently, and the list in the store has suddenly increased. It's just in time for you to come down. Help me."
