Rebirth: It’s Like Flowing Water

Chapter 18: Declare war on the night market

   The freight bus is much faster than the big green leather, and there are not so many stops on the road.

   Brother San fulfilled his promise and helped the driver unload the goods all the way. For more than two hours, he returned to Shangbei less than 6 o'clock.

   The driver is also nice, and the three children on the road helped a lot, Qi Lei's mouth is sweet. Hearing that they were going to get off the bus, they ran for a while and sent them to the street.

   The three of them did not go home, but carried two large bags of socks to Qi Lei's grandfather's house.

   Qi Lei’s grandfather and grandma live with Qi Lei’s third uncle, Qi Guodong, which is also a small courtyard in a bungalow.

When    Brother Three entered the hospital, the third uncle was not at home, and Grandma Qi was watering the flowers.

   Seeing three children coming in carrying a large package, I was still curious, "What is it?"

   The three of them said in no hurry, they opened their mouths to eat.

   I ate two buns in the morning, and I had already stuck my heart to my back.

   Grandma Qi had been crazy for a day only as a punk boy, and it happened that the old couple had just finished eating, and hurried to the kitchen to warm up the meal, and started to add another dish.

   Grandpa Qi Lei was listening to the radio in the room, knowing that Qi Lei was coming, and walked out with his hands behind his back.

   looked arrogant and beaten his head to ask: "Why didn't you come yesterday? Didn't you finish the exam the day before yesterday?"

   Qi Haiting only had Qi Guojun when he was thirty, and Qi Guojun had Qi Lei when he was thirty, so don't think Qi Lei was sixteen, but the old man was in his seventies.

   After ten years of retiring, he is becoming more and more like an old child, and nothing will go wrong.

   Especially when the grandson came to see him one day later, he was full of unwillingness.

   Of course, another reason is that Qi Haiting had married three wives before and after, and had eleven children, but his relationship with him as a father was very tense.

   In addition to the youngest Qi Guodong by his side, even the eldest son Qi Guojun more or less complained about this father.

   Therefore, the older the old man is, the more lonely he is, and Qi Lei prefers him even more.

   Regarding the old man's anger, Qi Lei would naturally coax. It's just two months after the operation, he is the eldest in the family!

   After finally coaxing, coaxing is happy, and then the business is brought out.

   He bluffed and said that the three of them wanted to do something big in the summer vacation, and they were going to the night market to go to the night market.

   Grandpa Qi heard it and snapped his thigh, "Okay! Grandpa supports you!"

   "What's wrong with your bad study? You can be as promising as your bad study. That's how you should do it, sir! This is called responsibility!"

   three brothers immediately strengthened their thumbs, "This old revolution, the consciousness is high!"

   When Grandpa Qi heard this, he was immediately overwhelmed with pride, "That is! I think that year..."

   Let's go, let's start talking about how he went back then.

   That's what the so-called inter-generational relationship is. Not to mention selling socks, the grandson sold him, and the old man is willing.

   Look at your grandson, how do you look at it?

   "Good thing! Lord firmly support. Is the money enough? Lord give you some more?"

   Qi Lei shook his head quickly, "No! That's enough, we three have lucky money."

   "Okay!" The old man was happier when he heard it, and pointed at Qi Lei and stared at him, "My grandson must be better than his father!"

  If King Qi could die here, I would be awkward enough to live, and you are still a real dad?

   After eating at the grandfather's house, the three brothers stayed for a while, chatting with the old man and the old lady for a while, but did not see Qi Lei's third uncle come back, and went home after 8 o'clock.

   Parents have long been accustomed to the fact that the three children haven't seen anyone in a day.

   In this era, children are all stocked, especially during the winter and summer vacations, when they can’t catch the shadows for a few days before they become anxious.

   When I came back and asked, I felt more relieved after having dinner with the old man.

   Guo Lihua and Qi Guojun didn't even ask where they went during the day. Seeing Qi Lei paralyzed on the bed, he asked to wash his face before going to sleep, and then went back to the house to watch a TV series.

   But after a while, Guo Lihua went out, went to Tang Yi's house to watch a TV series, and stayed overnight at Tang's house.

  Wu Lianshan and Tang Chenggang came to Qi Lei's house. Three elders in their forties, one holding a bottle of Harbin beer, chatting and guarding the central five sets.

   Qi Lei just remembered that now is the World Cup in France.

   It's just that the three old men are doomed to be disappointed. Whether it is the Netherlands that Dad Wu likes, or the Italy that Dad Qi and Dad believe in, they will all sink the sand.

   Because of the victory... it belongs to France, it belongs to Qi Zu.

   Tang Yi and Wu Ning also collapsed on the bed as soon as they got home.

   It's just that neither of them can sleep.

   This day is very tiring, but this day is also very magical, which is a feat for the sixteen-year-old.

   Tang Yi even wondered, if Old Tang knew about his feat today, would he have to dig out another thousand oceans?

   Wu Xiaojian wondered how to spend the money. After buying the Walkman, it was not enough to change the pair of sneakers.

  Well, no matter the sneakers, it's more reliable to get a brand-name casual wear with a cool style. Going to high school, there must be many beautiful new students.

   The next day, the three brothers all slept together until noon by appointment, and when they got together in the afternoon, they were listless, as if they hadn’t woken up.

   There are few words. Even Italy defeated Norway last night and advanced to the quarterfinals without any intention of discussing it.

   In fact, the three brothers didn't look at anyone, and they were all thinking about it tonight.

   is out to sell socks!

   Tang Yi and Wu Ning are a little bit offended when they think of seeing the real chapter tonight.

   After all, he was only sixteen, the age of my second child, and not Qi Lei's reborn two-skinned face, so I can't do it calmly.

   Regarding this, Qi Lei can do it in one sentence.

  , holding the guitar, looked at the two with a joking expression, "Or...you two will just give in, and kiss each other without shame."

   "Grandma!" Tang Xiaoyi exploded directly, "You are not ashamed! Brother is ashamed!"

  Wu Xiaojian was a brainstorming of the picture of Tang Yi hugging Tang Yi in front of the class, and she shuddered, with a crying voice: "Brother will have to be mixed in the second middle school in the future!"

   The focus shifted from the stall to the gambling contract.

   About half past four, Qi Lei gave an order, and the three brothers slammed into the night market with great enthusiasm.

   Just before departure, Tang Xiaoyi and Wu Xiaojian went home at the same place.

When    came out, both of them were wearing baseball caps, and they brought out the big sunglasses of Dad Tang and Dad Wu. They also put on a high-necked jacket, but they covered them tightly.

   Tang Yi exclaimed, "Much more practical!"

   Qi Lei is also speechless, it will be dark after a while, wear big sunglasses, do you see ghosts? Besides, those in the summer are not afraid to cover the prickly heat?

  I didn't bother to care about them, three people each had a bicycle, and the equipment was stalled on the rear rack. (Tang Yi took out a white sheet and several fruit boxes from the house.)

   First go to Grandpa Qi Lei to pick up the socks, and head straight to the night market.

  ...

  Different from the night markets in later generations, which mainly focus on snacks and delicacies. In the 1990s, morning markets and night markets were the main circulation places for living materials in northern cities and towns, and they played a vital role in life.

   For the North, which is always half a beat slower than the South, supermarket stores are still new. In this era, buying rice and noodles has to go to grain and oil stores, buying meat and vegetables to go to the market and the morning market, and the first choice for daily necessities is the night market.

  Only go to the mall for more formal shopping or when you need valuable goods.

   Visiting the night market is also one of the most frequent leisure activities for urban residents in summer.

   So, in addition to not selling houses, not selling refrigerators and color TVs, you can find any goods you need here.

   Shangbei Night Market is located in the southern section of Wenhua Road, from the intersection of Sandao Street to the east gate of the textile factory.

   As long as after get off work hours, both sides of the road will be filled with vendors immediately, which is spectacular.

   Qi Lei was already past five o'clock when they arrived at the night market, and some of the vendors also began to push carts and carts into the market.

   In this regard, Qi Lei did not go to grab the best stall positions with the adults, but found a relatively good position with not many people.

   Pick up two bricks on the side of the road and separate a place, even if it’s your own.

   There are no fixed booths in the night market. It just depends on who comes early.

   Except for the first section of the night market, there are also good business spaces in the middle section. There are few disputes in other places for grabbing places. After all, the place is big.

   Under normal circumstances, after a while, there will be joint law enforcement (predecessor of urban management) to collect booth fees, 5 yuan per family.

   will give you a number when it comes to prove that this place is yours tonight, so there is no conflict.

   Since entering the night market, Tang Yi and Wu Ning have become quails again, fearful of their heads and tails, and can't let go. I only knew that following Qi Lei, I didn't even talk.

   Qi Lei doesn't care, everything is difficult at the beginning, and it takes a process.

   If he hadn't been born again, he might not be as good as the two of them!

   Spread the cardboard on the ground, and put a layer of white cloth sheet on it, and the goods can be displayed.

   Tang Yi and Wu Ning also finally found a chance to start. They held the collar of the outer jacket with one hand and stood tall, while the other hand took it out of the sock bag, Qi Lei posed alone in front.

When    was halfway through, Tang Xiaoyi finally couldn't stand the depressed atmosphere, and leaned to Qi Lei's ear, "Brother Stone, why don't we go back? That's too much!"

   Qi Lei raised his eyebrows, "Are you admitting defeat?"

   Tang Yi nodded, "Give up! Brother invites you to spend a summer vacation, okay?"

   Qi Lei quit, and said with a smirk: "No, hug and kiss."

   Tang Yi was speechless, "Think about it, a summer vacation package night!"

   "No! You have to hug and kiss."

   "Hey you!" Tang Xiaoyi was defeated, his teeth were crushed, "You wait!"

   had to go back and continue to dig out socks like a thief.

   Yes, be a thief!

   For a child of this age, going out to make clean money is tantamount to being a thief.

   The self-esteem that has nowhere to rest, and the anxiety of leaving the asylum of an adult for the first time, are in your heart.

  The hands and feet are all numb, and the lips are all wood. If there were no betting appointments there, Tang Xiaoyi and Wu Xiaojian would have run away long ago.

   After a while, vendors came from both sides.

   What a coincidence, on the left is also an aunt who sells socks, but they are professional.

   is the kind of two-wheeled flatbed trolley, one and a half meters long, flat on the top, and small grids for placing goods. There are simple small shelves on the tablet, and you can also hang goods.

   In addition to socks, there are other small commodities, which are very convenient to sell along the street or stop as a stall.

   Tang Yi looked at it, and couldn't help grinning and complaining to Wu Xiaojian, "People are returning to the army, we are Tuba Road!"

   Let him say that, Wu Ning is even more faceless.
