Since 1983

Chapter 35 Everything is Ready

Since 1984, the capital city has changed every day.

When Xu Fei came to interview last year, the group near the train station was not so diverse, but this year it is obviously different, and it looks a bit like a posterity.

In 1952, the state proposed to "overcome the blind flow of farmers to cities", and the concept of blind flow came into being.

In 1975, the "stipulation that citizens have freedom of residence and movement" was abolished.

So for a long time, China has been anti-urbanization. Since the reform and opening up, the rural areas have been transformed into a contract system, and some farmers have become rich first, and their productivity has increased, so there is no longer a need for so many laborers, so the remaining labor force began to work in cities.

The rapid development of industries in all aspects of the city just needs this group of people.

The first to enter the capital is a large number of beggars, and then migrant workers who make a living by repairing leather shoes, carpenters, and carrying labor. In a few years, another group with a very historical imprint will be born-little nannies.

Just to say that Xu Fei traveled thousands of miles with two sacks of clothes, and almost died on the way. When he appeared at the train station in a state of embarrassment, he felt as if he had passed away.

A thousand T-shirts sounds like a lot, but these things don't take much weight. One piece is attached to another, and there may be hundreds of pieces in a stack.

There was a bunch of squatting people waiting for work in the square, and their demeanor was no different from their own, they were all disheveled. He hired a cart for two yuan and took it to the small courtyard.

As soon as he entered the door, the aunt was sitting next to the faucet washing vegetables. She looked up and said, "Hey, I haven't seen anyone for more than 20 days, so I have gone to hell!"

"You also know Daoye?"

"How fresh! Now the streets are filled with garlic, and they talk about wire rods, cement, and big color TVs. It's not that no one talks to you for hundreds of tons. Actually, what's the matter? The biggest official in their family is the director of the neighborhood committee. What a wire rod, he will be fine if he sees a wire!

Someone was bragging to me yesterday, saying that with an invention, the car doesn't need oil, just add some water and it will go away. Isn't this talking nonsense? But I think you are pretty good, at least you know how to get some goods back..."

Oh, this aunt is of high quality and has a deep vision!

Xu Fei bowed silently, threw the T-shirt into the house, wiped himself and found a barber shop, and then went into the bathroom to rub it well. When it was dark, he came back feeling his own shorts, full of energy, and a good horse again.

This courtyard house is quite old, and there are three families living there, both of whom have gone abroad. Only the aunt and uncle are left with a grandson, and the children live in other places.

The old couple will not be here, and they may have gone for a walk with someone else. Xu Fei walked towards his room, and suddenly stopped, and found that the lock was gone, and there were still rustling noises inside.

Fuck you, thief!

He immediately became excited, picked up a wooden stick for the door, and approached the hut lightly. First look inside, a black shadow is busy everywhere.

"Thief!"

He slammed the door open, rushed in, and shouted loudly. The black figure jumped up in fright, and quickly rolled on the ground, "I'm not a thief, I'm not a thief! I just look, look!"

"Look at your mother, don't run!"

"Brother, brother! We've met, we've seen each other!"

Um?

Xu Fei stopped, turned on the light and felt bored, the thirteen or fourteen-year-old kid was the aunt's precious grandson, named Chen Xiaoqiao.

"Stand here, stand up!"

He sat down on the bed boldly, "What are you doing in my room?"

"Brother, I really didn't steal anything, I just saw you carrying two bags of things, and I wanted to take a look out of curiosity."

Chen Xiaoqiao's skin is fair, from facial features to figure, she is very small, with a harmless character to humans and animals.

"Curiosity? You're so curious that you just slip the door and pick the lock. Where's my lock?"

"Here."

He took a padlock out of his pocket.

Xu Fei weighed it, but it wasn't damaged at all, and the buckle still works, "It's a trick, it seems that I have done it before. How to solve this matter, do you want me to tell your grandma, or go directly to the police station?"

"Brother, you spared me this time, I won't dare next time, don't tell my grandma!" Chen Xiaoqiao panicked.

"If I let you go, are you going to bully someone else?"

"I really don't dare, I just think it's interesting, I never thought about stealing!"

"Really?"

"Absolutely not!"

"..."

Xu Fei watched him for a long time, this kid is a psychopath! Parents are not around, and the old couple has a generation gap, so they find something exciting to play.

He also hesitated, and after a while he said, "It's fine if you don't tell me, but you have to do something for me."

"No problem, I will do whatever you want me to do!"

snort!

Xu Fei snorted, got up and closed the door, feeling a little hot again, so he took off his shirt.

"Gulu!"

Chen Xiaoqiao stepped back unconsciously, looking at the 1.8 meter tall, streamlined muscles.

"Are you on summer vacation?"

"Let it go, let it go."

"That's right, I got something and I plan to buy it during this time, so you can run errands for me."

Xu Fei thought for a while, and said, "I need a scooter, the kind I ride on, can you get it?"

"My classmate has it at home, but he certainly can't borrow it."

"Then rent it, one yuan a day, and I'll leave it to you to discuss. And you can get me some cardboard, the bigger the better, and I can draw. I want it urgently, and it's best to bring it to me tomorrow."

"sure."

"Um."

Xu Fei nodded and said, "Turn around."

"ah?"

"I'll let you turn around!"

"..."

Chen Xiaoqiao turned around tremblingly, then felt a foot kicked hard on her ass, staggered two steps forward and almost fell.

"What's wrong with the little kid, what are you doing sneaky, be nice in the future, it's not easy for your grandma to raise you!"

Xu Fei gave a kick, and since he felt better, he took out another two dollars, "Go, let's start work tomorrow!"

"Eh!"

Chen Xiaoqiao was stunned for a while, then took the money and ran out in a hurry.

…………

In the next few days, Xu Fei was so busy that he didn't even touch the ground with Chen Xiaoqiao.

The trolley and cardboard were already in place, and he contacted a carton factory and bought a thousand white cartons. Rectangular ones with lids cost eight cents each.

This will be in the house, the bed is full of cardboard boxes, the sack is also torn open, revealing stacks of T-shirts, and there is barely a space in the middle, and a table is set up.

Chen Xiaoqiao was holding a clay iron, shaped like an iron pot, filled with burning charcoal, first ironed one by one, then folded them, and put them in a box one by one.

The boy was impatient, but he had to do it, with a bitter expression on his face.

Chen Xiaoqiao hated Xu Fei very much, but admired him very much, because for the past few days, she had personally seen him sketching on the cardboard, just like a legendary magician, creating something from scratch with various colors, revealing a half-finished product of paintings.

The boy didn't know how to paint, so he felt that it was very majestic, and he could see it at a glance even if he poked around in the crowd.

In the outer room, Xu Fei put down his pen a little bit, and stood far away to watch for a while. He was still a little behind his peak level, but he could handle it.

He still has a few hundred yuan left in his hand, and he spent a lot of money to buy this painting set. It can be said that this is a make-or-break deal!

"Today is the 28th..."

He suddenly sighed.

"What's wrong with number 28?" Chen Xiaoqiao wondered.

"What's the matter? I asked you to read more books and newspapers, so I'm ashamed to ask what's wrong!"

"I iron clothes here every day, how can I find the time to read the newspaper?" Chen Xiaoqiao was aggrieved.

Xu Feiquan pretended not to hear, and said, "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and iron, and take you to the street the day after tomorrow."

"Brother, are we going to wander?"

The teenager became active as soon as he heard it.

"Yeah, good luck for you kid, you can remember history!"
