Chapter 390 The Little Hooligan Is Not What He Used to Be
Looking for the familiar voice, I saw a girl in a space suit with the hood on her head and a scarf wrapped around her neck, leaving only her eyes exposed. She was selling two oversized snakeskin bags.
Occasionally, some people come to watch and ask about the price.
"It's not expensive, only one hundred yuan each, and this shirt is only thirty-five yuan."
Hiss! Ye Xiaomei took a breath of cool air and hurried forward.
Shang Zhen released the hand that was grabbing her shoulder and was busy greeting customers: "Auntie, look, these shirts are available for both men and women. If you want me to give you a discount, how about thirty?"
Ye Xiaomei pulled the enthusiastic Shang Zhen and asked, "Why are you setting up a stall here?"
Shang Zhen looked back and chuckled, "I can exchange money wherever I go if I buy and sell for no cost. I even sold two items on the bus."
Ye Xiaomei's mouth twitched: "Is there anyone willing to buy it at this price?"
"Why is no one buying it?" Shang Zhen asked confidently.
Ye Xiaomei looked at her helplessly. Although there were many people coming to see her, no one bought anything.
"This is the countryside, the prices are too expensive. Who would be willing to spend a hundred dollars on a piece of clothing they've never seen before?"
Liang Hui, who was standing by, realized that the girl was Xiao Mei's classmate. He thought Xiao Mei was right. Who would dare to buy it at such a high price? So he lit a cigarette and waited beside the four-wheeler.
"Is this true?" Shang Zhen looked at the crowd leaving and touched his clothes suspiciously: "Xiao Mei, how much do you think is appropriate?"
"Only wealthy people would buy something that costs fifty or sixty yuan."
As soon as Ye Xiaomei said this.
"Who said that? I'll take two."
Ye Xiaomei looked in the direction of the sound in surprise. It was Zhang Changjiang, who was collecting stall fees with a waist bag hanging from his waist. He was wearing a popular duckbill cap and a tape recorder on his waist, with the tape inside turning clackingly.
Shang Zhen was so happy when he heard this: "Look, isn't there someone here?"
Zhang Changjiang moved forward with devilish steps to the rhythm of the music in his headphones, took out his money and winked at Ye Xiaomei:
"Ye Xiaomei? I haven't seen you for a long time. How come you look more and more beautiful? I heard that you gave birth to a child. I should call you a beautiful lady now."
Ye Xiaomei couldn't help but frown. After not seeing Zhang Changjiang for such a long time, his nonchalant look hadn't changed at all.
Liang Hui instinctively stood up and took two steps forward. Zhang Changjiang was a famous bastard in the area.
Shang Zhen was counting the money so busy that he didn't even notice Zhang Changjiang's charming eyes as he helped pick out a few items for him.
"Shang Zhen, don't sell anything and go back quickly. It will be evening by the time you get home." Ye Xiaomei said as she helped her pack the clothes in the snakeskin bag.
She turned around and asked Brother Hui to help her carry the things. After throwing two large bags of clothes into the tractor compartment, Ye Xiaomei climbed onto the tractor. Shang Zhen muttered, "Sell as many as you can."
A whistle was heard, Ye Xiaomei turned around and saw Zhang Changjiang walking straight towards her.
"If you want to sell, come early tomorrow morning. There will be a lot of people there and you can sell whatever you want."
After saying that, Ye Xiaomei sat on the pocket of clothes. Liang Hui shook the handlebar vigorously for a few circles, and a banging sound came from the tractor.
Zhang Changjiang just walked up to him and said, "Let's go to Meihua Village. Give me a ride." As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Changjiang pressed the basket of the bike with one hand and jumped into the bike in a posture that he thought was very handsome.
Ye Xiaomei couldn't help but frown and look away.
"Hey, why are you still pretending not to know me?" Zhang Changjiang squatted in front of Ye Xiaomei, took off one of his headphones and hung it on his collar.
Shang Zhen was shocked: "Thank you for your support just now."
"You're welcome, it's just a small amount of money." Zhang Changjiang waved his hand. You looked like a dandy kid from a wealthy family:
"Ye Xiaomei, why are you ignoring me? Are you afraid that I will eat you?"
"You think too much." As the ride was bumpy, Ye Xiaomei looked at the snow-covered mountains and suddenly had a sense of déjà vu.
This feeling was not the familiarity that she had been born here since she was a child, but another kind, because she had never been into these deep mountains, but she had a sense of knowing everything about it.
"Hey, Ye Xiaomei, we've known each other for more than a year, can you please stop looking at me? I'm a completely different person now."
Zhang Changjiang couldn't bear it anymore, so he tilted his neck, squinted his eyes and lit a cigarette.
Ye Xiaomei didn't notice that he was different from before. He still walked with his head swaying and was as frivolous as before. If there was one thing that was different, it was that this guy had become even more evil.
Zhang Changjiang refused to give in and took out a palm-sized red book from his pocket:
"Look what this is."
Ye Xiaomei looked over subconsciously. He kept opening the document. She asked, "Welding certificate?"
"Yes, I learned welding and civil engineering, and I will get the certificates next year at the latest." Zhang Changjiang suddenly felt that he was taller than before, and his face was full of pride:
"Didn't you say that I would be idle all day and waste my time by relying on my parents? I'm sure you will be disappointed."
You know what, Ye Xiaomei actually looked at Zhang Changjiang a little more: "Now that you've learned it, do it well."
"Don't worry, I won't bother you." Zhang Changjiang put the red book into his jacket pocket, as if it was out of date. When someone said he was a vagrant, he really had to take it out as evidence.
"It's good to learn welding and civil engineering. The field is developing very fast now and it will be useful." Shang Zhen interjected.
Zhang Changjiang chuckled: "This girl is indeed a good judge of vision. This line of work definitely has a bright future. By the way, are you classmates?"
"Yeah, not bad." Shang Zhen nodded.
"No. 1 Middle School? I've been to your school." Zhang Changjiang looked at Ye Xiaomei after saying this. Although she was still looking at the scenery in the mountains, it did not hinder Zhang Changjiang's freedom of expression:
"I went there twice. I wanted to look for Ye Xiaomei, but the guard wouldn't let me in."
Shang Zhen looked at Ye Xiaomei who acted as if nothing had happened, and then at the passionate young man. She seemed to sense something from it:
"Why are you looking for her?"
"Play, studying is so boring, can't you go out and play when you have time?"
Zhang Changjiang put out his cigarette and two thick puffs of smoke came out of his nose:
"I'll come find you next year. You'd better come out and play. I have many brothers in Chaocheng. There are plenty of places for you to play."
Shang Zhen was stunned for a moment, and asked cautiously: "You, you are not a gangster, are you?"
Zhang Changjiang waved his hands and said with disdain: "What's so good about being in the underworld? Isn't it just about making money? As long as there is money, wouldn't it be more appropriate to let the underworld help me?"
"..."Okay, Shang Zhen admitted that he was rich, but why did he speak like a nouveau riche who had never seen the world?
Ye Xiaomei glanced at Zhang Changjiang subconsciously. This guy probably had never seen anyone richer.
Zhang Changjiang caught the clues on Ye Xiaomei's face and said, "Hey, don't disbelieve me. I know Chaocheng very well. You should get to know the master of the Tang family residence."
Ye Xiaomei and Shang Zhen suddenly looked at each other strangely.
"I can see that he doesn't know you students. I often drink tea with him, and sometimes he even asks me for help."
Ye Xiaomei couldn't listen any more. Tang Buci was the real money talker. Drinking tea with him? This didn't seem to suit Tang Buci's taste.
In order to avoid being exposed, Ye Xiaomei changed the subject and asked, "Why did you go to Plum Blossom Village?"
Zhang Changjiang's face suddenly became serious, and he whispered, "My father is from Hongmei Village. I went to see how my house is being built. But the most important thing is not this. My neighbor dug up a snake hole when he was digging the land for the house. It's so big..."
He gestured and said it should be as thick as a bucket.
Ye Xiaomei's pupils suddenly shrank.
