Li Tiehan arrived at Binjiang Road just after eight o'clock. On the morning of the third year of junior high school, the weather was still very cold. There were few pedestrians on the street. The Quye Garden in the distance had already opened to accommodate guests, but not many people were coming in and out. He put his bicycle on the sun, squatting in the sun at the door of the Heping Branch, searching everywhere. There was not even a breakfast shop here. If he had known this, he would have eaten before coming?

Looking at the watch, just after 8:15, his legs were numb, and he couldn't stand firmly, and he staggered, "Hey, what are you doing?" A man's question suddenly came from behind.

Looking back, there was a man I didn't know on the side of the road, about forty years old, wearing a gray fleece dress. I don't know what to call this kind of clothing. The position on the top is V-shaped, with two buttons below, only one of them tied, "I..."

"What are you doing?"

Li Tiehan was secretly angry in his heart. If he followed his temper back then, he would immediately ask: What do you care about me? But now, he asked himself a lot more honestly, "I... I'll wait for someone."

"Waiting for someone, whom? Where are you waiting for? Are you calling me? And you, where do you work?"

Li Tiehan finally couldn't help it and rolled his eyes at the man, "You... who are you? Who do you care about me?"

The man put up his bicycle, took out a police officer's certificate from his arms, opened it in front of him, "Did you see it? Can you ask who you are now? Your surname is your name, where are you working, what are you doing here, who are you looking for? Say!"

Li Tiehan dared not refute. He did not expect that the other party would be a policeman. Judging from the name on the police officer's certificate, this person seemed to be surnamed Yang? "Comrade Yang... Comrade, I'm really here to find someone. A friend of mine made an appointment with me yesterday to meet here. I'm early, so I'll wait for him for a while. I'm not illegal, right?"

Officer Yang glanced at him a few times. This guy was born with a big and sturdy face. No matter how he looked at him, why didn’t he look like a good person? Then he asked again: “It’s not illegal to break the law, but he got up early in the morning. What’s going on when you are at the gate of the branch? Go to the street and go to the road.”

"I'm basking in the sun here. I'm so cold when I'm not getting the sun."

"Why are you dealing with this? I told you to leave quickly, did you hear?"

Li Tiehan cursed in his heart, and pushed up the bicycle aggrievedly and walked to the opposite side. Before he could sit down along the sidewalk, Officer Yang pointed with his hand, "Oh. Don't move to the side at the door of this house. I'll let you move, you can't hear it, do you have to let me go?"

Li Tiehan had to move a few more steps to the side. This time, the policeman didn't say much, snorted, pushed up the bicycle, and walked into the branch.

Li Tiehan wanted to turn his head home, but thought of the agreement with Lu Li yesterday. It would definitely not be like this. If he and Lu Li had any advantages learned from each other for many years, they would be keeping their promises. Forget it, wait for Xiaoxiao to come and tell him not to do it. Good guy. If he did it here, wouldn’t he bully the bastard policeman to death? SB stuff!

At about 9:30, several people appeared in front of the door behind him. One of them opened the door with the key and rumbling out a few small cabinets. The other two entered the house and took out their clothes, hung them on the crossbar, and started the day's business.

Li Tiehan felt curious and came to the front, "Hey, how about it, buddy, let's try it? My clothes are all exported to domestic sales. Have you seen it? They are really from Yangcheng. Look, there are factory logos on it. For this New Year, if you go out to pay New Year's greetings and wear a suit, how shameful are you?"

"That's right," the owner of a stall next to him was busy recruiting him. The weather was so cold, and it was rare that there were guests coming so early. None of the three guys wanted to let him go. He surrounded him in the middle and introduced him relentlessly, "If you really want it, I'll give you a cheaper one, one piece is 30 and two pieces are 55, how about it?"

"I didn't bring that much money, and I..."

"It doesn't matter if you don't bring that much. You can look at other things and look at the shorts used for men. They are guaranteed to be more comfortable than what you wear now, and they are cheaper. One piece is 8 yuan and two pieces are 15 yuan. How about it, right?"

Li Tiehan couldn't bear the enthusiasm of several people. He felt a little embarrassed. He shook his head in panic and squeezed out of the siege, "I'm sorry, I...I'm here to wait for someone. No...I don't want to buy clothes."

The three people on the opposite side immediately became angry, put their clothes back, and sat on the stool, "Hey, I finally came one, but I still haven't bought it? Why are you here if you don't buy it?"

Li Tiehan is both angry and funny. Why do the people here have such moral character? At first, the policeman was looking for trouble, but now these people are nagging. I can’t even buy it and see if I don’t want to. I don’t know how Xiaoxiao deals with these people?

While thinking, I heard the bicycle bell ringing not far away. I looked up and saw several people approaching on tricycles and bicycles, "Erdanzi? Haha!"

Li Tiehan identified it for a moment and quickly recognized it, "Xu Yunjian?"

"Oh, Erdanzi, you are so fat! Fuck, look at your head, it's all round! Why are you so fat now? How many pounds are you? If you want to put on a scale, you have to have two hundred, right?"

“No, 170.”

"That's not vague. Come on, you are so strong that you can help me move the basin."

Only then did Li Tiehan notice that there was a huge iron basin on the tricycle, which was neatly placed inside. The meat skewers were worn with bamboo sticks and counted roughly, and no less than one or two thousand pieces, "Wow! It's so heavy, what is this?"

“Mutton skewers.”

"Hey, Xiaoxiao, are you here?"

Luli smiled and nodded, "How about it, I've been waiting for a while?"

"Oh, you don't know, I almost started fighting with someone! Just now..."

After hearing him say it, Lu Li smiled like a little, and looked at Xu Yunjian and Zhang Qing, and guessed who the policeman who came to find fault was. "Don't worry, I'll let him come over and apologize to you in person, how about it?"

"You're going to take it down, I dare to ask him to apologize to me? Alas, Xiaoxiao, I'm here to see you. What you said yesterday, forget it."

"Why? Is it because of that just now?"

Li Tiehan nodded without any obscurity and said, "This is everywhere. I... I'm really afraid that I can't hold back the anger and fight with others. I'm fine, but I'm afraid of causing trouble for you."

"I didn't say anything. I'll introduce you to a few people first, Brother Wu? Come here and introduce you to someone."

Li Tiehan was surprised to find that those people just now knew Lu Li, and gathered together with a smile, "This is Li Tiehan. My classmate, this is Wu Yingwei, Shan Zhenli and Jun Hanping are both buddies. Brother Wu, how is the business of the recent one?"

"It's okay, oh, Xiao Lu, there's not much left in that big clothing. Let's reconcile it later?"

"I will turn around and ask Cao Xun to go to Yangcheng. How about the underwear?"

"It's enough. There are more than 5,000 pieces together, and they are big ones, and they are getting fewer and fewer. It's strange to say that these clothes have sold very well in the past two months. Is it because it's cold?"

"What about the amount of walking?"

"In the half month before the New Year, there were thirty or fifty sets every day."

"Okay, I understand. When I am not busy in the afternoon, I will call you. Let's reconcile the accounts."

Wu Yingwei agreed, nodded and smiled with Li Tiehan, and stood back to the stall again. Li Tiehan looked at him in a daze, listening, he could tell from the tone of the two people that these people were respectful to Xiaoxiao! "How about it, have you eaten breakfast? I'll invite you to skewers later. This is a good thing, and it's the most comfortable to eat this thing in winter. Zhang Qing, Xu Yunjian?"

"It'll be fine right away."

Several people were busy for a while, charcoal was lit and smoke came out slowly. Lu Li and Li Tiehan walked to the shelf, picked up a handful of meat skewers and placed them on it, spread them neatly and evenly, and said to Li Tiehan: "I went yesterday and didn't see my uncle and aunt, are they all okay?"

"Everything is fine. They came back last night. I was about to go to work. When I told my father, the old man was very happy! Really, I also asked me to ask you to have time to go home and have some wine with him."

"Okay, when I have time, I'll go see the old man..."

"Erdanzi, I heard the little novel, are you planning to come in?" Xu Yunjian suddenly interrupted and asked, "To be honest, it's good that our Daxing Street Primary School will reunite here. Right, Xiaoxiao?"

Li Tiehan smiled and took the grilled skewers from Lu Li's hand and took a bite, "Oh, this is what you figured out? It's so delicious!"

"If you eat more, eat more. If you don't eat breakfast, you can solve it here. After noon, we will find a place to drink. By the way, can you drink too?"

"And...and...hiss...well. Can you drink a little."

"Then you eat first, we have to start. If you want to come in in the future, you can also take this opportunity to learn."

"Hey, Xiaoxiao, I think I'll forget about this." Li Tiehan swallowed the mutton in his mouth and said with a embarrassed smile: "I think my father will definitely not agree,..."

"Even if you have any idea of ​​such a thing, you will be willing to make your own decisions. If you come, I will welcome you; if you don't come, we will still be friends, right?"

"That's right!" Li Tiehan laughed and said, "This mutton skewers are so delicious. Will I often come and eat them for free in the future?"

"I didn't say anything, you can come if you want to."

"Okay, then you're busy with yours. I'll take a walk after I have something to do. I'll call you."

Luli turned around and walked away, but turned around, "Erdanzi, there is a saying that men have no idea of ​​being poor for the rest of their lives. I am not saying that you don't listen to your uncle, but sometimes, you have to learn to plan yourself - uncle and aunt, just hope that you can live a peaceful life with your wife and children. Of course, such a life may not be bad, but what's the point? It's fine if we don't have that kind of conditions. Since we have it, why don't we make a good move?"

"this……"

"Think about it carefully, I still say the same thing. As long as you want to come, I will welcome you at any time."

Li Tiehan nodded and suddenly asked, "Men have no idea to be poor all their lives, what about women?"

Lu Li smiled and said, "The next half of the good words, let's forget it."

"No, tell me?"

Xu Yunjian spoke loudly: "The woman has no idea, she is so cowardly! Do you know what cowardly is?"

Lu Li turned around and glared at him, "Xu Yunjian, this is on the main road, are you shouting?"

Xu Yunjian didn't dare to yell anymore, and approached Li Tiehan with a wicked smile, and said in his ear: "It's the man's thing! Hehe, do you understand now?"

Li Tiehan's black face turned red. No wonder Xiaoxiao was unwilling to tell him? So that's the case? While thinking, he suddenly heard a familiar voice, "Xiaoxiao, let me introduce it to you?"

Lu Li turned around and looked over. It was Cao Xun who came with Huang Yu whom he had known for a while. "This is Huang Yu, Xiao Huang; Xiao Huang, this is the Lu Li I often talk to you, her nickname is Xiao Xiao; this is Xu Yunjian, this is what Zhang Qing, I have told you, oh, egg?"

"I just saw it?" Li Tiehan smiled and shook hands with him, "Long time no see, how are you doing recently?"

"Isn't this? You saw it too, and you're doing some small business. By the way, Xiao Huang, this is my elementary school, middle school classmate, Li Tiehan."

Huang Yu was wearing a winter suit and a big velvet-scissored hat. His face was flushed by the wind, and he looked like a little boy. Whenever he introduced someone, she just smiled restrainedly, neither shook hands with the other party nor spoke.

"Well, Xu Yunjian, how is the business?"

Xu Yunjian gave him a blank look and cursed in his heart, "You really treat yourself as a person?" What are you showing off? "It's all good, come and take a look." Instead, Lu Li took the initiative to speak and said, "Well, I said, has Xiao Huang eaten breakfast? If you don't eat it, I'll grill some meat skewers and let her taste it?"

Cao Xun nodded immediately and asked the girl very attentively. The girl smiled shyly and asked in a voice that only two people could hear: "Is this... OK?"

"Okay, why can't it be? Alas, Xiaoxiao, give me some skewers."
