sleepless tonight

Chapter 9 Stretch Sophie
After thinking about it, I went directly to the wholesale market in the city and bought insoles worth 500 yuan. There were more than 100 pairs. I took an old bed sheet from home, picked up a broken cardboard box, and bought a paint for two yuan. After writing down the unit price with a pen, a stall was set up on the flyover.

"Brother, where is your daughter-in-law? Why are you bringing your child with you when you set up a stall?" The vendor at the side saw me with Chen Le, and asked.

"Leave." I said directly.

There is nothing to hide about divorce. Divorce before we get together is nothing to worry about, it's a very normal thing.

When it comes to divorce, it means that they are not suitable for each other. Rather than suffering together, it is better to separate happily. Even if one party finds his own happiness, that is good.

It is better to suffer alone than to suffer together.

"Women nowadays are too realistic, and it's hard to do without money." The vendor next to me sighed and advised me, "Brother, don't be discouraged, suffering is temporary, if you have this hard work, you will definitely If you can succeed, when you earn enough money in the future, there will be many women jumping on you."

I smiled helplessly.

Is it still called hard work?
I was forced by life and had no choice but to set up a stall, because no company was willing to let me bring my child to work.

I can only do so.

This is a helpless choice, not a hard work.

"How do you sell these insoles?" A woman stopped in front of my stall and asked me after picking and choosing.

"One pair for three yuan, two pairs for five yuan." I said.

"Well, I'll take two pairs." The woman handed over five yuan, and then smiled at Chen Le, "This is your daughter? How old is she, so cute."

"One year old." I smiled.

"In such a cold day, why do you take your child to do business?" The woman stood up, shaking her head and said, "If her mother sees this, she won't quarrel with you? How can a biological parent be willing to let their child suffer such a crime. "

The woman left, I hugged Chen Le, and stared at the insole in front of me in a daze for a while.

"Xiao Le, is it cold?" I moved my face to Xiao Le's head.

"Da... Dada..." Xiao Liao grabbed an insole in his hand, waved it around, and slapped me on the head twice.

I hugged Xiao Le in my arms tighter, unbuttoned her coat, and let her curl up in my arms to play.

In one morning, I sold fifty pairs of insoles, which was beyond my expectation. According to this trend, I may be able to sell out all the insoles in one day today.

"It's nice to have a daughter, she can be taken care of even in business." When I closed the stall, the vendor next to me said enviously, "You sold at least sixty or seventy pairs of insoles in one morning, right?"

"There are so many, only fifty pairs." I smiled, took out a pack of cigarettes from my pocket, and shook it out, "Smoking a cigarette."

The vendor was not polite, he took out a cigarette, put it behind his ear, and said to me: "Business is so good, you won't come this afternoon?"

"Come on, I will definitely come." I said, "But I have to go back first to make milk powder for my daughter."

"That's easy. If you trust me, just put the insole here, and I'll watch it for you, so you don't get tired carrying it around, right?" the vendor said.

I thought about it and nodded in agreement.

"Thank you so much, I don't know what your name is, big brother?" I thanked.

"I'm older than you, and my kids are in high school. My surname is Zheng. You can just call me Brother Zheng." The vendor said, and then waved his hands, "Hurry up and make milk powder for your child, this child is really good. Very well, I stayed with you for three or four hours, and I didn't see any crying."

Carrying Xiao Le home, downstairs, I saw the Audi A6 again, just after the engine was turned off, the door opened, I looked sideways, and it turned out to be the woman next door to me.

This woman is really rich.

I live in a house of more than 100 square meters and drive an Audi A60. I am alone with the baby, but no man is there.

strangeness.

I couldn't help thinking about some aspects.

A beautiful young woman, she doesn't seem to have any skills, after all, she doesn't even know such a simple thing as changing a light bulb and turning off the electricity first, but she lives in a 160-square-meter house and drives a car worth 30 to [-] yuan.

Could it be Xiaosan?
The woman also saw me, but just glanced at me, then moved down the driving seat, turned around and lifted the plastic bag from the seat, and then limped towards the building.

I slowed down and followed behind. I couldn't help admiring this woman. Her leg was injured like this, but she was still able to drive. It seemed that she had just returned from the supermarket and bought a lot of things.

Moreover, I have met her a few times, but she didn't ask me to help.

This woman is really stubborn.

He followed the woman to the elevator entrance, only to find that she was standing still at the elevator entrance, with an ugly expression on her face.

"Why don't you press the elevator?" I said.

After walking two more steps, I found a yellow sign at the location of the elevator building, which said that the elevator is under maintenance, please take the stairs.

I couldn't hold back suddenly, and burst out laughing.

The woman gave me a sideways look.

"How about it, do you want me to help?" I glanced at her and said.

This building is considered a high-rise building with nineteen floors, and the woman and I are on the tenth floor.

"Come on, I'll carry the things for you, and you walk up the wall." Seeing that the woman hadn't opened her mouth, I took the initiative to walk over.

A beautiful woman is, after all, easier to generate the desire to help.

Moreover, it is a very refreshing thing to be able to help this stubborn woman.

"Thank you." The woman didn't refuse, her face was a little pale, and she seemed quite tired after going out this time.

"No, neighbors love each other." I smiled and said, "You go first, and I will follow."

The woman supported the wall and moved up little by little. I hugged Xiaole and carried things, and followed behind.

"Put your hand on my shoulder." I had only climbed half of the floor, and I saw the woman's sideburn hair sticking to my face, so I stood side by side with her, "The wall is too smooth, it will be faster if you hold my shoulder." Take it easy and take it easy. Your leg is hurt, so you can't use too much force."

The woman hesitated.

"What are you afraid of? I am the father of two children, and you are also the mother of the children. Are you still worried about what I will do to you?" I urged, "Don't waste time, I still have to make milk powder for the children."

The woman glanced at me with a strange look in her eyes, as if something I said was wrong.

But her hand finally landed on my shoulder.

I took her upstairs, and at the back, the weight of the woman's entire body was almost on top of me.

"Open... open the door, I'll put your things in for you." When I reached the door, I said to the woman.

This time, the woman did not refuse, took out the key from the bag, and opened the door.

"Sit down for a while, I'll make you a cup of tea." The woman said to me.

It's rare that she would make me a cup of tea!

Last time, I helped her install the light bulb without asking me to drink some tea.

"No need, just take a good rest, I'll go back and make milk powder for the baby." I refused, and put the plastic bag in my hand on the stool beside me, "I put the things here for you."

I turned around and took two steps, when there was a clatter from behind, the plastic bag was not placed properly, and all the contents fell out.

"Sit down, and I'll pick it up for you." I walked back, glanced at the woman and said.

"No, I'll do it myself." The woman's voice was a little anxious.

I've picked up something on the ground.

There are a few words written on the pink packaging: elastic fit, soft cotton feeling, Sophie.

I feel a little familiar with the word Sophie.

"Bring it here." The woman snatched the thing from my hand, and then randomly grabbed the scattered items on the ground, a little flustered.

Suddenly, I remembered.

sophie...

Isn't that the one?

No wonder the woman was weak when she went up the stairs, and her whole leg was weak. It turned out that it wasn't just because of her leg injury, but relatives also came, which made her so tired.

I am a little embarrassed.

"I'm leaving first, you pay attention to rest." I said.

The woman ignored me and tidied up the things on the ground.

I went back to my room, put down Chen Le, and soaked in milk powder, but the words Elastic Sophie kept singing in my mind, and it took me a long time to get rid of it.

I washed two dishes, thought about it, and took out the crucian carp from the refrigerator.

"Wow, Dad, how did you cook three dishes today?" Chen Ke said excitedly when he saw the dishes on the table when he came back from school.

"Go and ask the aunt next door to come over for dinner." I said to Chen Ke.
