The scene of a knife and a girl is a dream that Chen Ping has often had over the years, and it is also a scene he saw with his own eyes when he was a child.
He forgot exactly how old he was that year. Anyway, he dropped out of junior high school, XG had not returned yet, China's economy was recovering, and people's demands for beauty were getting stronger and stronger, and they were becoming more and more willing to spend money.
A place called Guangzhou has become a holy place in the eyes of dry clothing people.
But he didn’t go to Guangzhou to work in clothing, but he was deceived by a gangster he knew in the society. I won’t tell you how he escaped from danger and became penniless. Anyway, Chen Ping remembered that he was hungry in those days.
Very hungry, very very hungry...
Hearing people say that you can make money in the clothing wholesale market if you have the strength, so he didn't sleep all night and went there at four or five in the morning.
Before he found a job, he saw a crowd of people in front of a store. They seemed to be wholesale merchants from all over the country. Thinking that there were many people here, he would ask around later to see if there might be any jobs available, so he stopped and took a look.
.
Then I saw the owner of the store throwing out a sack of goods, and everyone rushed forward.
At this time, Chen Ping did not know that the goods packed in sacks were called tail orders.
No matter how many pieces are sold, no matter how many bags are thrown away.
Whoever grabs it belongs to whom, but I don’t know what’s inside, I don’t know the sizes, and I don’t even know the specific style of the clothes.
It feels a bit like the blind box of 2022.
Just spend money on blind boxes, this thing makes money.
There are almost a hundred pieces of light summer clothes in the sack. They only need extremely low prices. If you pick out a few good ones and sell them at a higher price, you can cover the cost.
Therefore, many people make clothing specifically to grab last-minute orders.
If you are lucky and the goods you come across are good, and if you sell them at a higher price, you can earn thousands of dollars from one bag.
Thousands of dollars before 2000 were very valuable, so you can imagine why there would be a group of people squatting to grab the goods.
There were many strong men and plump old women among the crowd swarming in front of them, but as soon as the bag landed, a black shadow pierced his eyes.
A young girl with a ponytail came out on top and stuck a knife in the sack!
And he shouted loudly: "Mine!"
…
Before the millennium, the social security in various parts of China was much worse than it is now.
Especially in a place like Guangzhou, where people are mixed, it is normal for a young but stunning-looking girl to carry a knife to defend herself. Grabbing a piece of goods on the way is actually not considered a problem in the wholesale market.
Unusual..
But for Chen Ping at the time, this scene was directly imprinted in his mind.
Next he heard that the girl's accent was from the north.
So we walked over and started a conversation with an accent familiar to girls...
She felt sorry for him and treated him to a bowl of rice noodles.
The sun was shining brightly that day, and Chen Ping swore that he had never eaten such delicious noodles or seen such a bright smile in his life.
Later, she found a job for Chen Ping through a shopkeeper she knew well.
She also often comes to batch goods.
The girl was not only his benefactor, but she also became his sister even though she was not much older than him. But one day, the girl left in a hurry, and before leaving, she only left a note for his shop owner, which only contained a series of phone numbers.
Number.
Carefully putting his phone number in his pocket, Chen Ping worked in the wholesale store for another two months.
On the day before leaving, he happily boarded the green train, and then met a thief who cut open his backpack with a knife.
The money I saved for the past two months has disappeared from my backpack.
But he didn't feel bad.
What made him sad was that the small piece of paper with the phone number on it was also lost.
So for the next twenty-plus hours of driving, he stood on the train without eating or drinking, trying hard to recall the phone number.
With his good memory, he really recalled most of it, except that the last digit was a little blurry.
When he returned to Songcheng and found his parents, the first thing he did was to make a phone call. He tried all ten numbers, but none of them were right.
This shows that the numbers he recalled before were wrong in one way...
It is impossible to describe Chen Ping's frustration and despair at that time.
That year, he visited all the places where clothes were bought and sold in Songcheng, but could not find Zhao Wanrou.
Later, this incident also became his nightmare. Whenever something went wrong in his life, he would try to dial the phone number again in the dead of night. There was even a wall in his old house to record the phone numbers he had tried, and
Haven't tried the possibility numbers yet.
What he didn't expect in his dream was that the two of them had actually been living in the same city all these years.
He also went to Xingye Wholesale Market two years ago, but by coincidence, he just couldn't come across it.
I saw Zhao Wanrou again today.
Of course Chen Ping's hands were shaking and his eyes were even red.
Because she has indeed been his dream all these years.
It's just that people can never empathize with each other.
Zhao Wanrou is a gentle person and has done many gentle things since she was a child. This is just one of them.
So the old acquaintance was happy to see Happy. She was obviously not as excited as Chen Ping. She didn't know that the bowl of rice noodles, the job, and the phone number she left behind were the highlights of Chen Ping's life.
When his world is a little dark, this light will always shine in his mind.
Now in Chen Ping's eyes, Zhao Wanrou's pretty face was also shining with a holy light.
He didn't know how he would face his benefactor, his sister, and his haunting dream.
He rarely stood there ashamedly, not knowing what to do.
So when Zhao Wanrou looked at his mood and smiled and said, "What's going on?", he choked up for a moment.
Chen Zui saw his sister's unusual attitude towards society and his brother Ping.
Without thinking too much, he just moved his buttocks and said, "Sit down and talk, sit down and talk."
Chen Ping had a thousand words in his stomach, but at this moment his mind went blank and he sat down like a stinking younger brother.
Zhao Wanrou also took a seat, and he immediately made tea.
Zhao Wanrou began to look at him, and he suddenly felt ashamed...
"Xiaoping, what are you doing now?"
Chen Ping hesitated and hesitated to say that what he was doing now was a small loan.
Even for a moment, he wanted to take off all the social skin that he was usually proud of, that is, the big gold chain, the small watch, and the bag tucked into the creaking nest.
Chen Zui looked at him and didn't know why but he understood. Chen Ping, who had just discussed joining hands with him to provide students with routine loans, didn't want his sister to know what he did.
So he spoke first: "Oh, Brother Ping owns a noodle shop in the city. I met the Al Qaeda bosses at a dinner party a few days ago. His noodles are delicious."
Um?
Chen Ping looked at Chen Zui, his eyes filled with gratitude.
Chen most felt that the social elder brother in front of him was not social at all, so he had to take the initiative to set the pace: "By the way, who are you?"
Zhao Wanrou smiled when she heard this and told the story of that year.
After listening to this, Chen Zui understood why the social eldest brother was unwilling to show his social nature in front of Zhao Wanrou, because he was afraid that Zhao Wanrou would look down on the bastard...
This world is very strange. People who know clearly that what they do are immoral will still tell their children when they educate the next generation that they must be a good person when they grow up.
It's similar to Chen Ping's current situation. He doesn't want to be regarded as a bad person in front of him.
The topic started. The two of them reminisced about their one-week friendship. Then Chen Ping received a call. Judging from the way he spoke, he was just about to curse... or something like that, just use the word "nice". As soon as it came out, it became: "Wait for me."
There was obviously something urgent to deal with.
Chen Zui didn't hold her back, he said goodbye to his sister honestly and left in a hurry.
As soon as her front legs left, Zhao Wanrou looked at Chen Zui.
Chen Zhi knew the meaning in her eyes, so he said: "Well, what the noodle shop told you just now is that he is doing small loans..."
【You dog coin...】
【Without a trace of hesitation.】
[Chen Zui is a good person, he can really deal with...]
Chen Zui and Zhao Wanrou looked at each other and smiled, but neither of them knew that after taking care of urgent matters that day, Chen Ping went to the city and bought a noodle shop at a high price. In this way, the lie was not a lie, and he really became a noodle shop. The boss, and also plans to participate in group buying...
Little did he know that the person he was lying to had sold him long ago...
