i was my mistake

"Well, the factory is not doing well, and many people have been laid off." Ye Youliang stepped forward, and Lao Zhao immediately moved a chair for him from the shop.

"Yeah, I told you a long time ago that I came out to do business, but you didn't listen, and said that the factory was stable. You see, after working for most of my life, I just resigned."

"At that time, I didn't expect it to be like this..."

"But to be honest, at that time I really envied you working in the factory and living a stable life, haha." He pointed to the man sitting on the other side of the table and smiled, "Let me introduce you, this one, your name is A Good, a serious staff member, maybe he will become a section chief in the future, haha."

"No, no, it's far away, and I'm just an errand runner now." The fat-looking man hurriedly shook his head, and said modestly. people.

"He was introduced to me to find a car."

"Looking for a car?"

"Yeah, three tricycles in the unit were stolen. The higher-ups asked him to find out where the tricycles were sold and get them back. It would be best to find the person who stole the cars."

"did you find it?"

"I have one here." Lao Zhao pointed to a big and new tricycle at the door. "Let him ride back directly later, and I won't need the money. After all, he is doing things for the government."

The man named A Liang showed a dry smile.

In fact, everyone is clear about this matter, but everyone is just pretending to be stupid.

It is also impossible for him to ask who sold it, and Lao Zhao would not tell, otherwise he would be ruining his own business.

This kind of business of selling second-hand cars will definitely have stolen cars mixed in. The key is that the price of stolen cars is much cheaper. If you really want to make money, it is impossible not to accept them.

Afraid of being found out, he took off the license plate, even if he saw it in person, he might not recognize it.

Some colors are more special, and you can also repaint them with ordinary paint...

"The last two are your daughters, right?"

"Hey, yes, I almost forgot to introduce, come, Wanqing, Ye Chen, come here."

"Hello, Uncle..." Ye Chen greeted awkwardly, but Wan Qing didn't respond, she just blinked at the fat man.

——I always feel that he looks familiar, as if I saw it on TV later, probably in the [-]s, because there was only a color TV at home at that time.

"Oh, that little girl back then was only a little bit big, and she just reached my knee!" Old Zhao looked at Ye Chen enthusiastically, "Now she has grown into a slim big girl?"

"Uh, yeah..."

"Time really flies. The one next to me is my younger sister, born later?"

"Haha, she is actually my sister."

"Huh? Putting aside the huge difference in height, why do I remember that Ye Chen is your first daughter?"

"Actually, she is Ye Chen. Later, I gave her... a new name, and the old name was used by my younger sister."

"Oh oh oh - this is how it is! It's so complicated, haha." Lao Zhao looked at Wan Qing and patted her on the shoulder, "Why are you not as tall as your sister? Is your parents favoring your sister? Don't I give you enough to eat? Haha, come on, come on, although today is a snack, I will definitely keep you full, I'll get you two stools! Ah Liang, do you still want to drink?"

"Drink some more."

"Okay, I'll come out from that altar!"

"Take less and take less, you can't finish drinking if you have too much."

"Your boy drinks every day, are you afraid you won't be able to finish this little wine?"

"All I drink is beer..."

"The rice wine doesn't have a high alcohol content. You see, it's snowing, drinking a little wine, chatting, how nourishing it is."

"It's really a good day..."

"My wife—! Two more dishes! Lao Ye and his daughter are here!"

……

6. Old tricycle

In the world of adults, interests are always used to maintain relationships. During this bliss, Wan Qing couldn't feel how much real emotion was in those smiles.

"Ye Chen... oh, my name is Wan Qing now, do you still remember when my uncle carried you around and bought bubble gum when I was a child!"

"I don't remember." Wan Qing said honestly.

In fact, I really don’t remember it. In that period of her life, after her father passed away, she didn’t have any contact with his father’s friends in the past, and she didn’t even move around much with her relatives.

"Oh, I took you out to play at that time, haha, but the daughter is really beautiful when she grows up, your mother was very beautiful when she was young, she is even more beautiful than your mother, the two sisters really look alike... "Old Zhao laughed cheerfully, took a sip of wine, "It's not like your father, he looks much more shabby than your mother."

"Haha... I was really not handsome when I was young."

"Why did I fall in love with you, tsk tsk, you are also lucky - how is she doing now? Is she still in the factory?"

Father smiled and did not answer.

Old Zhao seemed to understand something, and suddenly fell silent.

A Liang drank the wine in his glass, stood up and said, "Then I'll go first, and ride the bike back to the unit. When the snow is thick again, the road will be even more difficult to walk."

"Okay, then I won't keep you. It's so dark, be careful on the road."

"Okay, I will contact you next time if I have something to do."

"no problem!"

Lao Zhao is not an ordinary boss, he also controls a market for buying and selling. In this respect, he can be regarded as a local boss. Otherwise, there is no need for government officials to be so polite with him.

After all, if something is stolen next time, I have to look for him.

Stealing things is unavoidable, especially in this era of layoffs, there are always people who go astray and do things that get quick money.

There are also people who just steal bicycles and tricycles from the government to vent their dissatisfaction at being mistreated.

Surveillance is everywhere, and prisoners have nowhere to escape, which is unimaginable in this day and age.

There are many city roads that don't even have street lights.

Not to mention surveillance probes.

Ye Youliang drank three more glasses of rice wine with Lao Zhao, and then he stood up unsteadily and asked, "Youliang, are you going to buy goods, or set up a stall yourself?"

"Set up a snack stall for supper."

"Supper, um—are there many types of food?"

"I don't plan to sell many types."

"Then buy a small one, which can hold a coal stove or a gas tank, and add a stove."

"I think so too."

"It's better to get an electric one, it's convenient."

"That's too expensive."

"Oh, it's not expensive. I'll sell it to you for 900 yuan. It's very cheap."

"Me, normal is fine."

"That's fine. Come out and see if you like it. The prices of these small ones are about the same. Those are the smallest ones. You don't need to look at them. They can carry a child to and from school at most. It's useless for you to buy them back!"

At the end of this street, tricycles are placed directly on the side of the road, so there is no need to worry about affecting the traffic of vehicles.

The snow fell on these tricycles placed in the open air, forming a thin layer.

Ye Chen has no interest in the games between these adults. Seeing her father always laughing with her, she even felt a little annoyed, so she walked to the field with an umbrella alone, and watched the snowflakes fall into the pond one by one .

"What are you doing?" Wan Qing came over and got under the umbrella she was holding.

She felt that Yi (Note ①)'s somewhat messy single ponytail was shaking from side to side, and the hair on the top of her head was gently scratching her chin.

"No reason..."

"Escape from reality."

"What am I running away from?"

"Don't you learn Dad's chatting skills with others?"

"Forget it... It gives me a headache when I hear it, and it feels so hypocritical."

"Things that are too real will always make people feel uncomfortable, so it's better to be hypocritical." Wan Qing looked at the lonely old tree by the pond, "If you tell the truth, this business can't be done. .”

"I know—I know." Ye Chen dragged his voice, "Stop talking about the truth, okay, listening to it makes you tired."

"Don't want to listen to the big truth? That's fine. When you are strong enough to ignore those so-called truths and rules, you don't have to listen."

"Tsk."

"The snow is falling more and more." Seeing that the expression on her face became more impatient, Wan Qing changed the topic calmly, "You seem to have something on your mind today?"

"...I've been feeling better for the past few days."

"What's on your mind, let's hear it?"

"You don't know?" She asked back, curling her pretty little mouth, "Didn't you say that you know what I think?"

"I'm just a step to give you an answer, you really think I don't know." Wan Qing stood on tiptoe and put her arms on her shoulders, "Isn't it just becoming a woman? As for being tangled up like this ."

"No...it's not just this." She combed her long black hair with her hands, and said nervously and anxiously, "All the things about me before have been revised, just like the male me before It used to exist, but I don't have the memory of my life as a girl in my mind at all, and now I feel, I feel..."

"I feel like my past self is being killed by my present self, and I don't know what I am anymore?"

"...Yes." She hung her hands weakly, "Also, I don't understand why I look so similar to you, I feel like a copy."

Wan Qing looked at her with a half-smile, the latter's eyes were a little evasive, but she still couldn't hide her hostility towards Yi.

It is as if the value and meaning of one person's existence have been deprived and replaced by another person.

She thought that Yi would open his mouth to say a lot of mocking words, but she didn't expect that the other party just smiled and stretched out his fleshy hands, gently pinching her cheeks.

"Are you scared? Feeling scared? I don't know why I exist?" Wan Qing smiled softly, Ye Chen's face was reflected in her green eyes, "Don't worry so much, keep going, and there will naturally be Lu, as for you in the past—just treat it as a dream, I am not someone who comes to snatch your existence, I am a friend who will always be by your side."

"Not just friends..."

"Okay, sister."

"Hey—are you so used to calling yourself like this?"

"What's the matter? Could it be that you still ran to the street and yelled that you were a man, and insisted on using all kinds of extreme methods to prove that you were once a man—then people will only treat you as a mental illness."

"I know……"

"It's just difficult to change psychologically, isn't it? It's normal—it's human nature, there's nothing to be ashamed of, and there's nothing to be sad about. Slowly, you'll get used to it."

"You, don't speak so softly, I'm not used to it..." Ye Chen said with a dry smile, "Goosebumps are coming up..."

"You kid is owed, isn't it!" Wan Qing was annoyed by her, and slapped her on the back of the head, but the appearance of hitting someone on tiptoe was so cute that Ye Chen didn't care Whether it hurts or not, on the contrary, I looked at her a few more times.

"I said, you won't get married in the future, will you?"

"Are you sick?"

"You said it yourself, since you are a woman, you can only get used to it."

"I didn't ask you to adapt to everything, okay?"

"Then what are you going to do in the future?"

"Oh? What should I do?" Wan Qing narrowed her eyes, "I really want to taste the taste of a beautiful girl, why don't you wash it up and lie down on the bed, let me try it?"

"...It's even more strange, isn't it?"

"Then if you want to marry a man, go by yourself. I won't go anyway."

"I don't want it!" Ye Chen's reaction was a little agitated, and then he glanced back in a panic, and muttered with a little blushing, "Why, it's disgusting, I absolutely don't want to do that kind of thing."

"Why don't you try to chase Jinyu?"

"what?"

"Maybe she likes girls?" Wan Qing rubbed her chin and said with a smirk, "I think she has this tendency."

"Stop it, why do you harm others..."

"Okay, okay, it's too late, you can harm me when the time comes, and I can accept you reluctantly." Wan Qing patted Ye Chen's shoulder hard, "How about it, with me as a guarantee, don't you feel relaxed? A lot? I’m always here anyway.”

"Please don't use a girl's voice to say such uncle's words..."

Suddenly there was a burst of hearty laughter from behind, as if it was a happy deal at last.
