Xie Dongyang said he understood, "If more people set up stalls, our goods will not be in great demand."
If customers have multiple choices, they may not necessarily come to their stalls to buy things. Now there are fewer people selling things at stalls, and there are fewer choices, so naturally all those people buy at their stalls.
At this point he remembered and asked Ruan Xi, "Today is not Sunday, why did you come to see me?"
Ruan Xi lowered his head and took out a wallet from his schoolbag, unzipped it and said, "I left in a hurry last night and forgot to give you the money for the sewing machine and the tricycle. It just happened to be together with the stall, so I'll give it all to you today."
This is not something that can be polite, even if you are brothers, you have to settle the money clearly.
Xie Dongyang took the money and smiled, "Then I won't be polite." After
Ruan Xi gave him the money, there was nothing else to do. Although she trusted him in her heart, she still said one more sentence when she turned around and left: "Don't touch my goods. If you lose a button, I will settle accounts with you."
Xie Dongyang was very happy, "Don't worry."
As soon as Ruan Xi left, Xie Dongyang twisted his body again with the money in his hand, twisting and dancing, like a world dance king.
Ruan Xi didn't have as much freedom as Xie Dongyang in terms of time. After returning to school, he continued to attend classes for five days. He only had time on Sunday morning. He went to the repair shop and rode out with Xie Dongyang to set up a stall in Dazhalan.
Because it was the beginning of 1979, there were few people setting up stalls on the street, so Ruan Xi and Xie Dongyang did not need to get up early to grab a spot. When they got to the street, they could just choose a spot and set up their stall in a spacious place.
Ruan Xi and Xie Dongyang did not have a partnership. They each bought their own goods and set up their own stalls, but the stalls were placed next to each other, which was also a companionship. They sold different things. Ruan Xi's target group was women, while Xie Dongyang's was men.
In addition to setting up the stall to sell things, Ruan Xi also put a sewing machine aside and hung a cloth strip with words on it on the stall, indicating that she could also alter clothes, repair clothes, and even make clothes, and could take on any job, big or small.
Xie Dongyang quickly set up his stall, and curiously walked around to the front of the stall to take a look at the words written on Ruan Xi's banner. He sighed and said, "I didn't know you had this ability. Top students are multi-talented."
Before Ruan Xi could reply to Xie Dongyang, someone came to the stall to look at the things.
The things were cheaper than those sold in state-owned stores and supply and marketing cooperatives. People looked at them, picked a few pieces, and paid for them.
Because today was Sunday, there were more people on the Dazhalan than usual, and Ruan Xi and Xie Dongyang's stalls were constantly full of people. Sometimes Ruan Xi would take on some work, and then he would say a price, and people would take the things and put down the money themselves.
Doing this kind of business at this juncture will give people the illusion that making money is too easy, as if it fell from the sky. There is no need to work hard at all. You don’t even need to set up the stall and shout, and the money will flow into your pocket.
After half a day, he was really making a lot of money.
Of course, Xie Dongyang’s big teeth were bared again, and they could plow the land.
At noon, everyone went home to eat, and the street naturally became deserted. But adhering to the principle of making a little money, Ruan Xi and Xie Dongyang did not pack up the stall and go home. They planned to set up the stall here for a whole day.
Ruan Xi was prepared when she came out. She put steamed buns in her schoolbag and brought water.
She was prepared to work hard this year because she planned to let Ruan Cuizhi and others come next year.
But Xie Dongyang didn't let her eat. When there were fewer people at noon, he ran to buy two bowls of fried bean curd noodles. He was really polite. He brought the bowls directly to her and said he would take them back after she finished eating.
So Ruan Xi sat in front of the sewing machine and ate a bowl of delicious, chewy and tasty fried bean curd noodles.
The delicious minced meat, crispy cucumber and springy noodles collided between the lips and teeth to create a happy taste.
Especially when you are tired and hungry, eating such a bowl of noodles is simply a delicacy.
Just when Ruan Xi was very satisfied with the last bite of noodles, a female voice suddenly came from the stall and asked her: "Excuse me, how much is this scarf?"
Ruan Xi quickly swallowed the noodles in her mouth, put the chopsticks on the bowl and looked at the stall next to her. When she met the eyes of the girl in front of the booth, she was stunned for a moment, and the girl in front of the booth was also stunned.
In the past year or so, the girl who had only appeared in Ruan Qiuyue's letter was Ye Qiuwen.
And she was not alone, there was a boy standing next to her, her official partner Lu Yuanzheng.
When enemies meet, they are particularly jealous.
But Ruan Xi did not show any other expressions on her face, no surprise or surprise, as if she did not know Ye Qiuwen. She just looked at the yellow scarf in her hand and replied: "That one is a little more expensive, one dollar a piece."
Ye Qiuwen smiled while holding the scarf, looked at Ruan Xi and said: "Do your parents know that you are doing this here?"
This is such a shameful and despised thing.
Setting up a stall on the roadside and eating on the roadside.
Like a beggar.
Ruan Xi was too lazy to look at her again,
so he retracted his gaze and said in a low voice: "You failed the college entrance examination twice, but you can still smile. That's amazing. Your parents are yours, you don't have to give them to me, I don't want them." As he spoke, he remembered something and looked at her and said: "By the way, weren't you supposed to be working in the farm? Why are you here? Oh, you came to live with your boyfriend. Great love is really intoxicating and touching."
Ye Qiuwen's face froze, she lowered her eyes, gritted her teeth and said nothing.
After a short while, she laughed again, "Do you have one? Great love."
It was really disgusting. Ruan Xi said directly: "Pooh!"
Ye Qiuwen's face froze again because of her pooh. She looked at her and said: "Students from Peking University, is this the quality?"
Xie Dongyang watched for a long time without seeing what was going on. He came over with an empty bowl of noodles, picked up the chopsticks on Ruan Xi's bowl and stacked them together, and asked: "Who are these two people?"
Ruan Xi said directly and rudely: "Two idiots."
Xie Dongyang really couldn't help but : "Pfft..."
Lu Yuanzheng was also unhappy, frowning and saying, "How do you talk?"
Ruan Xi looked at him coldly, "Why do you care how I talk? I can talk the way I want to, what's it to you? If you don't want to listen, just go away, just pretend you don't know me, why are you trying to gain recognition by speaking!"
Lu Yuanzheng was so angry that his face turned black, and after enduring for a long time, he said, "You are Ruan Xi, right? I didn't believe you were this kind of person before, but now that I see you, I believe it. Your quality amazes me!"
Ruan Xi laughed, "Is this amazing? Don't worry about what kind of person I am. My poor quality has nothing to do with you. Do you really know what kind of person your girlfriend is?"
Lu Yuanzheng said, "I naturally know what kind of person Qiuwen is!"
Ruan Xi looked at Ye Qiuwen and saw that there was no hypocrisy in her eyes, so she didn't bother to care about the trivial things between them. It's good for these two people to be locked together forever, let them stay together and move the world.
So she smiled and said, "Please move aside if you don't want to buy anything, thank you."
As a result, Ye Qiuwen stood there motionless as if there was glue under her feet. She thought Ruan Xi was afraid of her because she had Lu Yuanzheng by her side who always treated her like a treasure, so she asked again: "Is this your partner?"
Ruan Xi didn't bother to answer her, "Do you think everyone is like you, unable to live without a man."
Ye Qiuwen laughed again, "Really? I think you are embarrassed to admit it, why isn't Xu Zhuo with you? I thought you would catch him, but in the end you ended up with a little kid. "
Hearing this, Xie Dongyang was immediately displeased, glaring and cursing: "Fuck you, who do you say is a little gangster? I have a Beijing hukou, a house and a job..."
After a pause, he forced to add: "And money!"
Ye Qiuwen looked at him and sneered disdainfully, "You have a job and money, but you still set up a stall here?"
This sentence has a bit of a killer taste, and it directly choked Xie Dongyang and made him speechless.
Isn't this the case these days, who would set up a stall?
Then when Xie Dongyang was choking and speechless, he suddenly heard a clearing of the throat.
Ruan Xi turned his head to look, and when he saw the person clearing his throat, he was stunned and blinked for a moment.
Xu... Zhuo?
Speak of the devil?
What day is today?
A big reunion at Dazhalan?
Seeing Ruan Xi in a daze, Ye Qiuwen and Lu Yuanzheng also turned their heads to look. Seeing that the person standing not far away was Xu Zhuo, the expression on Ye Qiuwen's face instantly collapsed, and even her breathing was suddenly blocked in her chest.
The words she just said were slapped in the face when she turned around.
Because he had been a soldier for two years, Xu Zhuo looked much tougher than before.
Under the gazes of several people, he walked to Ruan Xi's sewing machine, stopped and said, "What a coincidence."
Lu Yuanzheng and Xu Zhuo hadn't seen each other for two years, and he hurriedly greeted them, "What a coincidence, you are in Beijing too?"
Xu Zhuo replied, "Yes, I came here to study at a university and participate in advanced training, advanced blindness elimination."
After that, he asked Lu Yuanzheng, "What about you?"
Lu Yuanzheng said, "I took the exam here last summer."
It was a rare opportunity to meet here, so he asked Xu Zhuo to meet him again. "Are you free tonight? How about having dinner together?"
Xu Zhuo turned around and asked Ruan Xi, "Are you going?"
Ruan Xi was slightly stunned, then quickly said, "I don't have time, I won't go."
Xu Zhuo then looked at Lu Yuanzheng again, "Then I don't have time either, let's talk about it later when we have a chance."
Lu Yuanzheng: "..."
He hesitated and said, "Then let's make an appointment again."
At this point, the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward, and Lu Yuanzheng naturally stopped standing. He reached out and pulled Ye Qiuwen, and then said to Xu Zhuo, "Then we'll leave first, you guys get busy."
After that, he took Ye Qiuwen away.
Walking out of the fence, Ye Qiuwen's expression was still depressed.
She couldn't let out the breath that was blocked in her heart, and she didn't want to lose her image in front of Lu Yuanzheng, so she endured it.
After a while, she suddenly recalled some old memories. Her heart was pounding and her fingers were unconsciously clenched together.
Before her fingertips were cold, she looked at Lu Yuanzheng and said, "Let's go." If
she couldn't afford to provoke him, she could afford to avoid him. She'd better not see him again in the future.
Xu Zhuo stood beside the sewing machine and watched Lu Yuanzheng and Ye Qiuwen walk away. Then he retracted his gaze to look at Ruan Xi, and after a moment he said, "It seems you haven't said hello to me yet?"
Ruan Xi looked at him, blinked, and smiled, "Hello, Chief, we meet again. It's really a good fate."
Xu Zhuo couldn't help laughing, "I thought you were too forgetful and didn't remember me."
Ruan Xi said, "You showed up too suddenly, and I didn't react."
Xie Dongyang reached out to take the bowl of noodles in front of Ruan Xi. Seeing Xu Zhuo looking at him, he hurriedly introduced himself, "Chief, I'm Ruan Xi's business partner. I have to return the bowl of noodles. You two chat."
After that, he left with the bowl of noodles, leaving Ruan Xi and Xu Zhuo in front of the stall.
Ruan Xi stood up, moved the stool for guests next to him, and put it in front of Xu Zhuo, "Chief, please sit down."
Xu Zhuo: "..."
Ruan Xi sat down seriously, looked at him and asked, "Chief, why are you here?"
Xu Zhuo cleared his throat twice, "Can we not call you Chief, not you?"
Ruan Xi nodded decisively, "Okay."
Xu Zhuo said, "It's rare for the school to let you go, so come out and walk around when you have time. Isn't this the most lively place? I saw you just a few steps after I finished eating there. Let the other students go shopping by themselves." After speaking, he asked Ruan
Xi again, "Why are you here? And you set up a stall? Don't your family give you money?"
Ruan Xi shook his head and said, "Of course not, I came here to study after being admitted to university. I have money in my hands. , I have nothing to do in my spare time, so I started some business to do. Anyway, I have nothing to do. "
Xu Zhuo asked her curiously, "Which university did you apply to?"
Ruan Xi looked at him and said, "Peking University."
Xu Zhuo was slightly surprised to hear this, raised his hand and patted her sewing machine, and said after a moment, "You didn't let me know about such a big happy event. If I hadn't met you here today, I wouldn't have known that you were also in Beijing."
Ruan Xi folded her arms on the sewing machine and looked at him, "I don't know where the army you are serving in is. Without the specific address, how can I tell you? Xiaojie was admitted to Renmin University and is also in Beijing."
Xu Zhuo glared at her, "Chen Weidong and I wrote letters to you, but you didn't reply. Chen Weidong is almost missing you."
Ruan Xi looked at him and blinked, "We haven't received your letter. Did we write the wrong address?"
Xu Zhuo said, "The address is definitely correct. You didn't reply the first time, so we sent it the second time. Since you didn't reply, we didn't send it again. I thought you probably didn't want to have anything to do with us anymore, so I didn't bother you anymore."
Ruan Xi still looked at him, and after a while, the smile on her face slowly disappeared, her eyes became cold, and her eyes darkened a little bit.
