Since 1979 I have been in the tide of the times

Chapter 8
As soon as Wang Weidong pushed his bicycle into the street of the farmer's market, he heard someone shouting.

"Young man, I've already reserved a place for you!" The old lady who sold tomatoes yesterday waved to Wang Weidong.

Wang Weidong pushed the cart over in a hurry, and the old lady gave him a place more than one meter long, which was very close to the three-way intersection.

Before Wang Weidong parked his bicycle, the old lady couldn't wait to pick up the basket and said, "Young man, for three catties of tomatoes, you can just give me [-] cents, and the fee will come again later!"

The old lady wants to sell the tomatoes to Wang Weidong as soon as possible in order to save five cents in management fees.

Wang Weidong first gave the money and then put the tomatoes in the basket on the ground.

"Auntie, why not pick more, it's okay to bring a little green." Wang Weidong said.

The old lady stared at Wang Weidong and said solemnly: "How can I do that! I can't sell the ones I haven't cooked!"

Wang Weidong looked at the back of the old lady going away in a daze. Three to five years later, under the impact of the commodity economy, would the old lady change her simple and simple character now.

"Excuse me! Let me squeeze!"

A chubby young man squeezed to Wang Weidong's side with a basket in his hand.

The young man was squatting on the ground and smiling, the sun was shining brightly. He looked up at Wang Weidong who was standing there.

This young man is the young man who Chang Ge, who monopolized the egg business of the entire farmer's market yesterday, asked to find out about Wang Weidong's details.

The young man's name is Kong Lingguang, and his nickname is Baoer, Xiaobao or Dabao.

His parents, grandparents and grandparents are full of doting on him.

Kong Lingguang has been liked by people since he was born. He giggles when he sees everyone. He is fat and white like a ginseng doll. Everyone likes to hug him.

From elementary school to middle school and then to society, Kong Lingguang has deceived countless people with his innocent and lovely appearance, from bullet casings and glass balls when he was young to cheating money and girls' bodies when he grew up, even for no purpose, Kong Lingguang Just to enjoy the feeling of playing around with others.

It's not that the family members haven't noticed Kong Lingguang's faults since he was a child, but they almost turn a blind eye because of doting.Kong Lingguang's mother once blocked her son and a girl on the kang in the family room. The woman first beat the girl and then yelled at her: "Bitches don't play tricks, and male dogs don't! If I see you seduce my son again, I will beat you." Fuck you little bitch!"

Standing against the wall, Kong Lingguang was innocent and pitiful, really like a child who was seduced by bad guys with his head down and his face full of grievances and shrinking.

Brother Chang, Qu Guochang, who monopolizes the farmer's market, is bad on the outside, but Kong Lingguang's bad is deeply buried in his heart.In the past two years, Kong Lingguang has been swindling food and drink outside all day with his cute appearance and mouth that spits out lotus flowers.

Yesterday Qu Guochang asked him to find out about Wang Weidong, and Kong Lingguang came this morning with a few eggs in a basket.

"The day before yesterday you had a fight with the bastard who sold eggs at the intersection, what a man! No one dared to provoke him in this farmer's market before, but you are the best brother! I just sell a few eggs for two dollars, by your side I feel at ease." Kong Lingguang said to Wang Weidong.

Hearing Kong Lingguang's words, Wang Weidong was greatly satisfied psychologically.

He took out a butcher's knife from the sack on the bicycle and stuck it on the ground, saying: "If that kid provokes me again, I will fight him! At worst, white knives go in and red knives come out!"

Kong Lingguang suddenly saw a bright knife, and the muscles on his face couldn't help twitching. He was spoiled and spoiled since he was a child, and he couldn't bear hardships, let alone risk his life.

Kong Lingguang raised his thumb and said in admiration: "The righteousness is awe-inspiring, and you would rather die than surrender, and you are the revolutionary hero!"

Qu Guochang monopolizes the sale of eggs in the farmer's market. Big ones sell for ten cents and small ones sell for eight cents. Kong Lingguang's eggs all sell for seven cents, so they are sold out quickly.

At this time, only one-third of Wang Weidong's dishes were sold.

Kong Lingguang didn't leave and still squatted there chatting with Wang Weidong, with a smile on his fair and chubby face, the two young people talked more and more speculatively.

"Brother Wang, I'll treat you to a meal after you sell the vegetables. It's been a long time since we talked so happily! Let's chat while eating." Kong Lingguang said.

Yesterday Qu Guochang gave Kong Lingguang two yuan to invite Wang Weidong to drink to get his details out, but he was reluctant to take out the money that went into Kong Lingguang's pocket. He is now thinking about pretending to be generous and finally asking Wang Weidong to pay for him. have a meal.

"No, my grandma is blind, I have to go back and cook for her." Wang Weidong instinctively postponed.

Wang Weidong, who traveled back from the 21st century, has experienced too many Hongmen banquets. Someone who treats you to a meal worth 100 yuan may want to take 1 yuan from you.

There is no free wine, no free meal.

"Brother Wang, why are you doing this, aren't you trying to save my face?" Kong Lingguang said pretending to be angry.

"I can't do it today. I leave my grandma at home alone, and I eat and drink outside by myself, am I still a human?" Wang Weidong explained.

"Hey, I also think of my grandma when you say that." Kong Lingguang sighed.

When it was almost ten o'clock, Wang Weidong put the last remaining vegetables into the basket and planned to go back to eat with grandma. He pushed the bicycle and said goodbye to Kong Lingguang.

Watching Wang Weidong go, Kong Lingguang walked around to Qu Guochang.He was careless in doing so, but there is no comparison between the talented con man of the 70s and the average con man of the 21st century.

"He left so soon? Didn't I ask you to treat him to dinner?" Qu Guochang asked.

"Take your time, tomorrow, tomorrow I will definitely give you a letter!" Kong Lingguang said confidently.

Gradually get along with each other and become friends, the last two yuan is my own, and Wang Weidong willingly treats himself to dinner.

Kong Lingguang is very confident in his ability.

Wang Weidong returned home at noon, and he saw that the porridge in the pot hadn't moved at all.

Grandma Huang Guiying was still lying on the kang and did not get up.

"Grandma, why don't you get up for dinner?" Wang Weidong asked.

Huang Guiying turned over a grandson who ignored her.

She still couldn't forgive Wang Weidong for selling vegetables on his own initiative.

There were more than half a catty of potatoes that were bigger than a thumb in the remaining dishes. Wang Weidong planned to make potatoes into sauced potatoes.

After the dishes were ready, Wang Weidong sat at the table and ate with the remaining porridge.

"You old lady is on a hunger strike with me. When you pass out from hunger, I will send you to the hospital for glucose administration. Don't worry, you won't die so easily!" Wang Weidong said while eating.

"If you die like this, who will look after my child when I have a child?" Wang Weidong continued.

"Who is willing to marry a girl to you with your ugly face?" Huang Guiying said angrily.She choked up a little at the end.

"Don't worry, I will definitely find the most beautiful and filial one!" Wang Weidong replied.
