[045] Guo Degang went to sell fish

Christmas was not very popular in the early 1990s. In the past few days, everyone's topics were New Year's Day party. Impressed classmates had already bought New Year's greeting cards early, and after writing them, they put them in their schoolbags and carried them every day, looking forward to giving them to their good classmates on New Year's Day.

Lin Ziwen stuffed the greeting card into the table and found two books to cover it. He carried his empty schoolbag out of the classroom. He planned to walk quickly in the afternoon, and almost collided with the two girls who were facing him at the corner of the corridor.

The girl opposite was taller and Lin Ziwen was all over. You don’t have to look up and know that when you meet Queen Chen and Bai Hong, Chen Xiaolei saw that it was Lin Ziwen, and grabbed it and said, “My sister Lin, why did she leave with her schoolbag at noon? You miss classes every day? I honestly tell you where to go?”

Lin Ziwen struggled for a while but couldn't break away. While breaking Chen Xiaolei's hand, she said, "Stop it quickly, I can't hold it in the toilet anymore. If I don't let it go, I'll solve it on the spot."

This move was not the first time Lin Ziwen used them, so Chen Xiaolei was not fooled again: "What are you doing? You said the same thing in the last physical education class. After I let you go, you didn't come back after waiting for half a class. At that time, I thought you had fallen inside. Later, Zhao Gang told us that you jumped from the school wall next to the toilet and ran away."

Lin Ziwen said nonsense: "I ran to the toilet last time too fast and stretched my pants out of my crotch. I had no shame to come back and had to skip school. This time I was really in a hurry to go to the toilet. It caught a cold weather. I didn't come yesterday because of this."

Of course Chen Xiaolei didn't believe it. Just as he was about to say it again, Bai Hong interrupted and said, "You see, he was so anxious that he was about to jump up. I guess he really had to go to the bathroom and let him go first."

Chen Xiaolei heard Bai Hong say this, so she put her hands on Lin Ziwen and ran away. Bai Hong shouted from behind: "The final exam will be in a few days. Don't be too playful, review it at home."

Lin Ziwen turned around and waved her hand to show that she heard it. Chen Xiaolei watched him turn around and ran away, and asked Bai Hong with some concern: "This kid missed classes all day, and Teacher Chen didn't care much. What should he do in the final exam?"

Bai Hong pulled her to the classroom and said seriously: "I think he is a good person. He should not fail the exam in the past few days. We must also review it carefully. We must get good grades at this end of the period and show those people."

Chen Xiaolei was a little surprised and asked Bai Hong: "Show those people? Who are you?"

Bai Hong said angrily: "You will know some self-righteous people in the future."

Chen Xiaolei didn't know who those people Bai Hong was talking about were. Seeing that she was so excited, she nodded vigorously.

Lin Ziwen carried an empty schoolbag and ran all the way to Zilong Game Center. He asked three fat men to come out for dinner together. The characters in charge of the game center were rotated every few days. The employees' jobs remained fixed. The reasons why Lin Ziwen did this are arranged by the home address are not well understood. In fact, this method can reduce some negative and unfavorable factors. Many family businesses have adopted the big problems on the books. There are historical records in the game consoles that can be checked, but letting a manager do it for too long in a fixed place can easily become lazy. Lin Ziwen does not want this situation to happen.

While eating, the three fat man sighed that more than two months ago, he could only sit on the street stall and worry about eating cold noodles or fried noodles. Now he can wear a wool windbreaker and order food in the restaurant. Lin Ziwen listened to his crying and telling his past suffering history. While smiling, he stuffed rice into his mouth and had enough to eat and drink it, the three fat man made a summary speech: "Ziwen, without you, Tao Brother Liuhouer and others would not be today. A rough man like us, who work in the unit for a lifetime, and he will work for the rest of his life. When I was staying at home, no one introduced me to a partner in the next year. Now he is a bit human. Last week, three old ladies came to my house to say that they matched me and I will have sex with you. In a few days, the third brother will come to you to see. If you like it, I will continue with her. If you don't like it, I will not talk to her."

Lin Ziwen picked up the empty schoolbag used to pretend to behave, "Brother San, you are so surprised that you can say this. At most, we can help you with ideas. In the end, you have to take a look at it. Sister Hongxia will introduce her to Brother Houer in a few days. Tell me about Brother Tao and ask her to help you find it."

After saying goodbye to the three fat guys at the intersection, Lin Ziwen took the bus and went to find Guo Degang

Guo Degang's home is in a residential area behind the petrochemical machinery factory. It is not far from J Middle School. It is only more than ten minutes' drive away. In summer, Guo Degang often rode a broken bicycle to visit Lin Ziwen's house. He played chess with Lin Ziwen and played badminton. He went home only after dark, but he never came again after autumn. Lin Ziwen got off at the petrochemical station, walked through the alley and crossed the alley. It took him a long time to walk to Guo Degang's home.

Along the way, we walked from the side of the road to the center of the residential area, snow and garbage were everywhere. Some roads were frozen into pieces of ice by the dirty water poured out by residents every day. The dirty water was easily slipped down in the forest purple pattern once in spring. The dirty water melted after the ice and snow melted soaked the entire residential area in it. There were rows of bricks in front of the door of every household. When walking, you had to jump between the bricks. If you accidentally fell down, the accumulated water would fill your shoes.

Guo Degang's home is in a small alley, bare and not even a half square meter yard. There is only a small warehouse at the end of the alley, putting some coals and firewood, and debris. Lin Ziwen walked to the door, touched under an old car tire on the door, and a cold iron lock was locked. It seemed that Guo Degang was not at home, so Lin Ziwen had to knock on the door of his neighbor's house to inquire. It turned out that Guo Degang borrowed a wheelbarrow during this period, got in some hairtails from the aquatic company, went out early and came back late every day, and set up a street stall in the Dongling market.

"It turned out to be a small business." Lin Ziwen suddenly realized and thanked Guo Degang's neighbor. She turned around and took a few steps. She heard the neighbor closing the door and saying to herself: "I haven't held up the good iron rice bowl, and now I'm a second-hand dealer. Oh, Xiao Guo is not lucky."

"Second dealer" and "tricking troops" are derogatory terms, and are professions that the people looked down upon after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Later, since the early 1990s, they became "ten thousand yuan households" because of their careers that were looked down upon. More and more people were "small bosses". The social status of the second-day dealer gradually improved. In the eyes of the working class, individual industrial and commercial masters were no longer despised "nova" and "capitalists", but were envied.

While walking towards the Dongling Market, Lin Ziwen thought happily: "I am now a 'nova,' a 'little boss','capitalist', and will become a 'second-dealer' in a while. Fortunately, it is '1992 instead of 62, otherwise I would not be like a mouse walking on the street, and everyone would be beating."

Dongling Market is on a relatively wide road. Because it is located in many large units and residential areas in the central area, it has gradually developed into a market in the form of agricultural trade streets. Today, the outdoor temperature is about minus fifteen degrees Celsius, which is veritable cold weather. Guo Degang is standing on the side of the road, rubbing his hands and stomping his feet and walking around.

Lin Ziwen recognized Guo Degang from afar. The fat man wore a dog-skin hat with drooping ears. He was wearing a black military green cotton coat on his body, and he could no longer see his true colors. The cuffs had been worn out, and the cotton turned out was smeared black.

"Xiao Guo" Lin Ziwen stood beside Guo Degang and shouted, scaring Guo Degang to the point of jumping

"Purple...Purple Pattern, why are you here? Haha?" Guo De was about to smile at Lin Zi Pattern, but he had been frozen for a long time. His teeth were tightly clenched. He opened his mouth and spoke a little hard. His muscles on his face were stiff and he couldn't laugh. He could only grin and grin and grin as if he was laughing.

Lin Ziwen looked at his big-headed shoes with ice-clad and his face, and then looked down at the wheelbarrow covered half of the sack with a yellowish color. The exposed swordfish felt complicated and didn't know what to say.

"There is no class in the afternoon for Ziwen? Come on, I'll tie you a few swordfish, and you can take it home and stew it to your dad in the evening." Guo Degang was full of enthusiasm, rubbed his frozen hands and was about to lift the sack for fish-covered sack.

Lin Ziwen quickly stopped him and said, "No, Xiao Guo, don't be busy for now, I'm here to find you, I have something to say."

Guo Degang was pulled by him. Seeing that he was speaking seriously, he asked, "I came to find me specifically. Is there anything wrong with my family?"

It was so cold that Lin Ziwen felt a little cold after standing outside for a long time. She opened her mouth and spoke hard, so she said, "Can you collect the stall first and find a warmer place, let's sit down and talk slowly."

"I often go to the shaving booth on the side of the road to chat. Let's go to the stall and don't collect it. I'll find someone to take care of me." Guo Degang greeted the aunt selling bean sprouts next to him and led Lin Ziwen into the small barber shop on the side of the road.
