Zhang Dagen drove his van away. Li Shuwen stood on the street and looked at it twice. In the end, he shook his head.
"Why are you shaking your head? Look at his big eyes. He's going to start a fish stall business in the new year. You're a university graduate from a famous university. What are you doing in this small shop with us all day? Let me tell you, there's a job fair in the city after the new year. You college students…" When Zhang Shufang was free, she began to nag at Li Shuwen.
These days were different from the past. University students were still considered precious, unlike the future, where the streets were filled with university students.
"Auntie, I know what to do." Li Shuwen smiled and did not argue too much.
Perhaps it was because of his high academic qualifications, Li Shuwen was still quite trusted. Anyway, Zhang Shufang only nagged a few words and let Li Shuwen go.
"Zhang Dagen's plasma TV is a waste. It's useless. Sometimes, things are just so funny.”Li Shuwen sighed in his heart. Seeing that his aunt had gone to chat with the people around him, he turned around and returned to the shop.
With regards to the Old Factory Street Farmer's Market, he combined it with the stories he had seen in his previous life and some guesses. He roughly understood.
The reason was probably because the two brothers, Tang Xiaolong and Tang Xiaohu, had somehow found out about the existence of high-end gadgets like plasma televisions. Then, they wanted to make one.
However, these two people were usually the managers of the market. To put it bluntly, they were local ruffians. They entangled a group of young brothers and pretended to be ruthless, collecting protection fees in the name of 'hygiene fee'.
He usually played cards, drank, smoked, and had fun. In terms of savings, he definitely didn't have much.
It was impossible for the two of them to spend money to buy a plasma TV. They probably couldn't afford it.
Therefore, the two of them decided to go fishing in the market to see if they could do something.
Under the pretext of drawing lots again and arranging the stalls, they extorted and extorted to see if there was any profit. Li Shuwen guessed that the two brothers did not intend to extort a plasma TV or anything at first. They might just try to fight.
In the end, Zhang Dagan was beaten out. Zhang Dagan doted on his son Dayan and gritted his teeth to take the plasma TV.
As a result, Gao Qiqiang, who was originally selling fish in peace, was dumbfounded. If it weren't for Gao Qiqiang's change in circumstances, he pretended to be someone with a backer and scared Tang Xiaolong and Tang Xiaohu, this fish stall would have really become Zhang Dagan's.
In the end, the one who suffered the most was Zhang Dagen. He had given away the TV that cost more than 20,000 yuan, but he had yet to complete the task.
Just as Li Shuwen was thinking about these interesting things, Zhang Shufang's voice came from outside the door.
"Ah Qiang, you've been wandering around here for a few minutes. What do you want to buy? Go in and take a look. Shuwen is also inside.”
"It's nothing, Aunt Zhang. I was just looking around. Is Shuwen inside too? I haven't seen him for two years. That's good. I'll go in and have a chat with him.”
When Li Shuwen heard this voice, he immediately perked up.
He was really familiar with this voice. There was a special charm in its magnetism. It sounded normal at first, but after a long time, it felt very comfortable and amiable!
Gao Qiqiang!
The eldest son of the three Gao siblings on Jiuchang Street. Although he called Zhang Shufang aunt like she did, in fact, Gao Qiqiang was not much younger than Zhang Shufang. If he remembered correctly, Gao Qiqiang was already in his thirties this year, while Zhang Shufang was only in her early forties.
However, because they all lived in Jiuchang Street and knew each other well, both families followed the hierarchy. The Gao siblings and Li Shuwen were of the same generation, so they naturally called Li Shuwen's elders uncle and aunt.
As soon as Gao Qiqiang opened the curtain and entered, Li Shuwen stood up with a smile on his face and greeted,"Brother Qiang, I haven't seen you in a long time."
"Shuwen, it's really you. When I was outside the shop just now, it looked like you were sitting inside.”Gao Qiqiang also laughed and chatted with Li Shuwen.
Gao Qiqiang and Li Shuwen's relationship was quite good. On one hand, it was because they were old neighbors of Jiuchang Street and used to see each other frequently. On the other hand, it was because Li Shuwen had once dated Gao Qilan. Because of this, Gao Qiqiang even beat Li Shuwen up once.
Gao Qilan was the youngest of the three Gao siblings. She was two years younger than Gao Qisheng and three years younger than Li Shuwen. She seemed to have just been to university for a year.
Speaking of his predecessor, he was also a weirdo. Gao Qilan was only fifteen or sixteen years old at that time, and he was already in a relationship with her. Later, Gao Qiqiang found out. He was worried that it would affect his sister's studies and that his sister would suffer, so he gave Li Shuwen a beating and warned him not to mess around.
Li Shuwen didn't take it to heart. However, he wasn't a bad guy. He was young at that time and was also a teenager. He and Gao Qilan had a good impression of each other.
They didn't talk for long, just a few months. Then, Li Shuwen's parents had an accident, which directly caused Li Shuwen to enter a negative state. Then, he was admitted to university and went overseas. Naturally, they broke up.
This was the cause and effect between him and Gao Qilan.
When Li Shuwen fused his memories and learned of this, he was shocked for a long time.
As he thought about these things, Li Shuwen chatted happily with Gao Qiqiang. The two of them were also observing each other's current appearance.
At this moment, Gao Qiqiang was far less charming than he was later. He was full of the elegance of a mature and successful man.
The current him was a fish peddler in the market. The clothes he was wearing were obviously old clothes that had not been changed for many years. Even though he had tried his best to clean himself up, there was still a fishy smell that could not be hidden. He had a head of curly hair that looked very cheap and had a habitual smile on his face. In short...? It was very common, really common. Walking around the farmer's market, there were people like this everywhere.
Gao Qiqiang looked at Li Shuwen and felt emotional. In his heart, his younger brother Gao Qisheng was very outstanding, and this Li Shuwen in front of him was an outstanding and smart child who did not lose to his younger brother at all.
Both of them were well-known for their good grades in Jiuchang Street. They had also been admitted to a good university with their own abilities!
However, what made Gao Qiqiang feel that life was not easy was that Li Shuwen was wearing a good brand. He had a pair of canvas shoes, clean pants, and casual clothes from the same brand. He knew that it was called Balenero, and it was very expensive.
As for his equally outstanding younger brother, he had never worn a real brand since he was young. Thinking of this, he felt a little sad and felt sorry for his younger brother.
"Brother Qiang, are you thirsty? Have some drinks." Li Shuwen said as he opened the box of drinks on the ground.
AD calcium milk was a very popular drink in the past two years. Many adults and children liked to drink it.
Li Shuwen directly handed a whole plate of AD calcium milk to Gao Qiqiang. Gao Qiqiang declined and said,"Too much, too much. Besides, I'm not used to this. I like tea, you know.”
"Of course I know. You have a whole set of tea sets. In the past, when you were idle, you liked to play with your tea sets in the corridor.”Li Shuwen said with a smile.
When Gao Qiqiang heard this, his eyes lit up."You still remember this, Shuwen.”
Sometimes, when it came to getting closer to someone, it was often just talking about some small details in their memories that could bring the relationship closer.
Gao Qiqiang was now a small fry in the market. No one would care about him, but Li Shuwen could tell him his only hobby at once. It made Gao Qiqiang feel valued and respected for a long time.
"Of course I remember. I loved your tea at that time. I wonder if you still play with those now? I really want to drink a few more times." Li Shuwen said with a smile.
"I did, I did. Now that Xiao Sheng and Xiao Lan are studying overseas, I have nothing to do after I close my stall. When I go back, I'll make my tea. If you want to drink it, come and find me anytime. Sigh, it's just that I didn't know you were back today. Otherwise, I would have brought you two fish.”Gao Qiqiang said happily.
"Then I'll really go and drink it. If you don't like this drink, bring it back for Xiao Sheng and Xiao Lan.”Li Shuwen stuffed the AD calcium milk into Gao Qiqiang's arms again.
This time, Gao Qiqiang declined twice and did not refuse anymore. He smiled and stuffed the AD calcium milk into his arms.
The distance between the two of them that they had not seen each other for a long time seemed to have disappeared completely in these few moments.
Li Shuwen pulled a stool for Gao Qiqiang, and Gao Qiqiang naturally sat there.
"Shuwen, I heard that there's something recently…Color TV, the very powerful kind. Do you sell it at your house?”Gao Qiqiang scratched his neck and asked.
"A powerful color TV, so it's a plasma TV?”Li Shuwen raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, yes. I heard that plasma is high-tech and very powerful. Is it especially expensive?”Gao Qiqiang said.
"That's really expensive. Look over there. A plasma television. It's imported from overseas. One costs 21,800 yuan!”Li Shuwen pointed at a large color TV not far away.
" 21,800!?" Gao Qiqiang looked at the television in surprise.
"Yeah, I really don't know what kind of rich family can afford such a TV.”Li Shuwen sighed.
Anyway, his family was considered rich now, but he definitely did not use such high-end goods.
"That, and…Is there anything cheaper?" Gao Qiqiang hesitated for a moment before continuing to ask.
"If it's plasma, that's the cheapest one. The other ordinary color televisions aren't that expensive. Brother Qiang wants to make one? If you ask, I'll make the decision to round it up for you.”Li Shuwen said generously.
"I can't afford it even if I round it up.”Gao Qiqiang did not pretend to be anything. He smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"What if I wiped off all 1,800 yuan for you?”Li Shuwen suddenly said.
Gao Qiqiang was stunned for a moment and looked at Li Shuwen in surprise. However, he quickly shook his head and said,"I still can't afford it."
Li Shuwen sighed slightly and said,""Then I have no choice."
Perhaps the plasma TV was really a hurdle for Gao Qiqiang?
