In her previous life, old Mrs. Li wished she could pluck out her heart and liver to make soup for her children, yet in her old age, she faced indifference and evasion. Her children all kept their d...
While waiting for breakfast, Li Jianghai finally asked, "Li Mingyu, aren't you hot wearing so many clothes?"
Li Mingyu was upset, but Li Mingyu didn't say anything!
He is hot, how could he not be hot?
However, this is a unique fashion in Haicheng. Who knows why this style of dressing has become popular in Haicheng this summer.
It's so hot that you can't breathe, but the streets are full of people wearing vests under their inner shirts!
Although Li Mingyu was grumbling in his heart, he still followed and learned!
He was also a migrant worker who had just come to the city, so of course he was attracted by this way of easily disguising himself as a city dweller!
Even though the back of his shirt was soaked with sweat and the prickly heat was itchy, he accepted it.
The breakfast bought for fifty cents tasted really good. Li Jianghai praised it while eating!
While eating, Li Mingyu pushed a plate of rice rolls over to him.
The translucent white rice noodle wrapper was filled with orange-red shrimp and emerald green cauliflower, drizzled with amber soy sauce. Li Jianghai ate it with gusto!
Li Mingyu also gave him a steamed dumpling with soup in it!
After breakfast, Li Mingyu took his luggage to his uncle's house, and then took Li Jianghai to Shatouzui Port Goods Market!
The Shatouzui Hong Kong Goods Market was bustling with people, shouting in various accents mixed with Cantonese songs playing on the tape recorder.
The electric fan hanging from the ceiling squeaked, blowing in the salty smell of the sea mixed with the plastic smell of electronic components.
As soon as Li Jianghai stepped into the market, he was shocked by the scene before him!
The dazzling array of goods dazzled his eyes!
"Make way! Pretty boy, please let me pass!"
A young man in bell-bottom pants squeezed past carrying a cardboard box, and Teresa Teng's sweet singing voice flowed out of the box!
Li Jianghai hurriedly turned sideways, and his elbow hit a shelf full of electronic watches, which immediately triggered a series of "beeping" sounds of time.
Li Mingyu skillfully avoided the tangled wires on the ground: "Dad, this way!"
As soon as Li Mingyu and his group came over, the stall owner lifted the curtain that was full of sunglasses.
Hidden behind it was a whole wall of electronic watches, with red and green numbers flickering like fireflies in the dim light.
As the curtain opened, the stall owner started selling with saliva flying, "Uncle, you have good taste! Imported electronic watches, come and see, Japanese movement, waterproof and shockproof! Three for ten yuan!"
Li Jianghai held the electronic watch against the light and said, "Handsome boy, wholesale price! Cheaper!"
"I'll give you two hundred yuan, so is that two yuan a piece?"
Li Jianghai started to pull hard with the stall owner and finally got the batch of electronic watches!
Of course the stall owner was reluctant to let this big fish go.
The stall owner grabbed Li Jianghai's arm tightly and said, "Boss, don't leave in such a hurry! Let's wait and see!"
I have plenty of good stuff here!"
Then, like a magic trick, he pulled out a watch as thick as a brick and said, "I'll give you this for five bucks more! You can use a calculator to do the math!"
As he spoke, he pressed the red words "531+88=619" and quickly pressed a few times on the side of the watch. A pixel-style brick-breaking game appeared on the small screen.
Li Jianghai stared at the jumping little square with his eyes wide open.
The stall owner struck while the iron was hot: "Old customer, I'll give it to you at wholesale price! Take another fifty!"
Seeing Li Jianghai shaking his head, he quickly started to promote the tape recorder, "How about a dual-cassette recorder? It can rip tapes, so you can listen to Teresa Teng as much as you want!"
And this," he said, turning on a half-man-high speaker. "The latest Hong Kong product! A subwoofer! The best for disco dancing!"
Li Jianghai quickly covered his buzzing ears, and the stall owner quickly turned off the sound and started selling again by copying the plastic Mandarin!
"Next time...next time I will definitely..."
Li Jianghai retreated and wiped his sweat, but he mentally took note of "calculator, watch, tape recorder, stereo, these trendy gadgets!"
I was thinking about recommending it to my customers, what if someone wants to buy it?
Then he can earn the travel fee, at least three times the difference.
Just as Li Mingyu was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a beeping sound from his waist.
He skillfully unhooked a small black square box from his belt buckle, pressed it with his thumb, and the sound stopped abruptly.
The four numbers "6688" were jumping on the orange-red LCD screen.
"My uncle is urging us to eat, let's go back!" Li Mingyu recounted it lightly!
When Li Jianghai saw that thing, his eyes almost popped out of his head: "This...this...a pager?!"
"Brother Xingsheng gave it to me." Li Mingyu put the pager back on his waist, the metal buckle making a crisp "click" sound. "He recently replaced it with a bigger one..."
"Bigger? Could it be a motorcycle?" Li Jianghai was so anxious that he grabbed his son's sleeve and wanted to find out!
Li Mingyu just smiled mysteriously and pushed him out of the market: "You'll know when we get home!"
Li Jianghai thought to himself that he would be suspicious of people who bought big speakers when he got home. By then, with the money he earned, he could buy ten pagers!
As they were about to leave the market, they heard the stall owner's voice behind them, "Five dollars! Five dollars for you! Come back soon!"
The two men, each carrying a bulging snakeskin bag, staggered in the alley like two loaded mules.
After many twists and turns, taking one step deep and one step shallow, we finally walked out of the market.
Walking on the newly paved cement road, the scorching heat wave hits you in the face.
The scorching sun baked the road surface white, and the soles of shoes were hot when they stepped on it.
Both the father and the son felt like they were evaporating and were about to be cooked by the heat!
The leaves of the poplar trees on the roadside were curled up, and the cicadas were chirping at the top of their lungs.
Finally, not far ahead, I saw a tree providing shade.
The two of them hurried over and rested under the tree!
Li Jianghai was fanning himself with his straw hat when he suddenly saw a man in a dacron shirt riding a 28-inch bicycle. With a "click", a bulging wallet fell from the back seat and landed in the bright sunshine.
Li Jianghai stood up with a jerk, his shoes kicking up a cloud of dust. "Money...!"
As he said this, he rushed forward, raising a cloud of dust!
Before she could finish her words, Li Mingyu grabbed her by the waist and hugged her: "It's the 'drop bag trick'!"
Li Mingyu shouted urgently and signaled Li Jianghai to look behind him. Sure enough, there was an accomplice wearing frog-eye glasses peeking out. Seeing that they did not move, he immediately pretended to squat down to tie his shoelaces.
However, Li Jianghai's eyes were still fixed on the wallet. He couldn't take his eyes off the foreign exchange coupons exposed from the crack in the leather.
Li Mingyu simply exerted force and pulled his father backwards like dragging a sack.
Li Jianghai's limbs were flailing in the air in vain, like an overturned turtle.
When he was dragged about ten meters away, Li Jianghai looked back for the last time and saw a young man in bell-bottom pants who was about to bend down to pick up a wallet.
As he moved, an arm with a tattoo of an eagle was revealed.
