I'm waiting for you in the wind and snow

Chapter 12
After a while of squabbling, the money snatched from Yang Sisi's handbag was still in my hand, and she was looking at me with her hips akimbo, she was exhausted, and said angrily: "Mi Gao, you You bastard... I really don't have any money, you took it all away, you want me to drink the Northwest Wind!... There is also the money I used to sell clothes for my friends, you have the face to take it?"

"Learn from you, grab it and it will be mine..."

"There's a lot of money in the bank, why don't you snatch it... Only a beast like you can do it by bullying me, a little girl who is out of ammunition and food!"

I ignore her.She said angrily again: "Go and rob Ye Zhi, she has a lot of money... How dare you rob her? You've been cowardly for a long time when you see her, and you just bully an honest person like me!"

"The honest man offended your whole family? Just put yourself in the honest man category!"

Yang Sisi couldn't handle me, so she sat down on the steps next to her, and didn't mention the matter of stealing money, but this sudden change made me very uncomfortable. I took two steps in front of her tentatively, asking Said: "This is the money you saved your life in Dali... Really don't plan to take it?"

"No, I'll just buy steamed buns and feed them to the dogs."

I smiled, then put the handful of odd money back to her side, and said, "I'm just kidding... you can take the money back, but you have to save some money. Think about it, we How hard it is to sell a few clothes today!"

Yang Sisi gave me a look in disbelief, and as if afraid that I would regret it, she quickly grabbed the money and said to me: "You still have a little conscience."

I took a puff of cigarette, then looked at her, wanted to say something but suddenly choked up, and at the same time choked up, I didn't think of any reason to lure her to the restaurant.At this time, Yang Sisi suddenly patted my arm again, and said to me with a trace of indescribable joy: "Tomorrow we will go to sell clothes, okay? I will also share with you, so that you don't let you do it for nothing. What do you think?" Sample?"

"Not much, I think it's boring to dawdle like this."

"Isn't coming to Dali just to dawdle?"

I had nothing to say, and took another drag on my cigarette to hide my uneasiness.During the brief silence, the phone rang again. This time it was not Lao Huang, but Tie Nan, the first friend he met after coming to Dali.

I thought he was calling me to go back and have a drink to pass the time, but I didn't want him to say to me in a serious manner: "Mi Gao, buddy, you have a job on hand, do you want to take it?"

I muttered a bit, this buddy knows nothing about me, how does he know what kind of work I can do?With such doubts, I asked, "What job?"

Tie Nan explained: "Just now a car team approached Director Ma and asked them to take a group of promotional photos... In fact, it is the kind of wedding photo, because many tourists come to Dali to take wedding photos, and their cars are rented to these people. People who are going to get married. No, the scale has been expanded this year, so they want to get some materials for publicity... They have no other requirements, but they want Director Ma to find two models with good looks and good temperament to take a group of wedding photos. Then just give it to them... After thinking about it, I don’t need to be cheap to outsiders. I think the girl with you today is very suitable. If you agree, I will give each of you three hundred, just for one morning. Not much better than selling clothes!"

"You mean, Yang Sisi and I were filming together?"

Tie Nan replied with certainty: "Yes...but don't get me wrong, I'm not affirming your image. This promotional photo mainly emphasizes the role of the bride. You can just be a foil, and basically no close-ups will be given."

"Ri, I'm such a good-looking talent, what's wrong with a few close-ups!?"

Tie Nan laughed loudly, and said: "Then this matter is settled like this. We will start work on time at seven o'clock tomorrow morning."

I raised my doubts again and asked: "Isn't Director Ma singing in bars? Is it reliable to ask him to do photography?"

"Whoever lives in Dali doesn't have a lot of unique skills! Don't worry, his stinky feet can't hide his talent. This is a buddy with real talents."

……

After finishing the call with Tie Nan, I put my eyes on Yang Sisi, and then, with her guarded eyes, I said: "My friend has accepted a job, 300 yuan a morning, and lunch at noon."

Yang Sisi replied in disbelief: "Is there such a good thing? It costs 300 yuan a morning, and I don't care about lunch!"

"Yes, it's actually very simple, just take a few sets of promotional photos for the team here..." I hesitated to speak.

Yang Sisi asked impatiently: "Don't hesitate, what kind of promotional photo is it?"

"It's the kind...the kind of beautiful photos taken for young people who are about to get married."

Yang Sisi understood instantly, she pointed at herself, then at me, and asked, "So you mean, this promotional photo was taken by the two of us."

I was afraid that if she refused to agree, my calculations would fail, so I hurriedly said: "Tie Nan said that in Dali, there are so many models who make a living by taking wedding photos... Everyone is very professional and has the ability to make a living. separate art from reality."

Yang Sisi glanced at me, and replied: "If I agree, will I sell my color for money?... I don't know why, if I do something with someone like you, I can't go to the art side. Think about it. Look at you from head to toe, which part of you can match art?"

I took out my phone and looked at myself on the screen, and then replied sincerely: "I don't have any sense of art... Then are you willing to sacrifice your hue for money?"

"For the sake of your self-knowledge, I'll take this job, but I have to declare in advance that you better not leave your salty pig's hands around. I'm still a pure and pure woman, and I can't be abused by a beast like you." Defiled."

"Understood, I have a sense of proportion, I promise not to put my hands where they shouldn't be..."

After being silent for a while, Yang Sisi suddenly asked me again: "Where are we going to eat tomorrow, isn't it a box lunch?"

Lao Huang hadn't given me any news yet, so I didn't know where it would be arranged, so I replied perfunctorily: "Making money and saving one's life is a big thing, and eating is a small thing. I just listen to their arrangements when the time comes. But I heard that the team has money, The specifications of the meal should not be too bad."

Yang Sisi showed a very comfortable smile, then closed her eyes and opened her arms, and said full of insight: "Here, I have different things to do every day, meet different people, and I don't seem to be doing a proper job, but I won't starve to death! This kind of living in a city is like seeing the whole world, which is really cool!"

I flicked the cigarette ash, and didn't dare to look at her, let alone face her who was about to open her eyes, because I knew what would happen tomorrow, but she didn't.

I'm imagining: what will she look like tomorrow when I, as an accomplice, smash her dreams and good mood with my own hands?And after she was forced to leave Dali, will I feel the pain of the death of the rabbit?
After sitting for a while, Yang Sisi proposed to go back, because she had to get up early tomorrow, and she had to get enough energy for tomorrow's work.I don't know how she lived in Shanghai, but at the moment I really see in her a kind of seriousness that girls of her age don't have in life. This may be the unique environmental stimulation in Dali her.But the more this happened, the heavier the guilt in my heart.

……

Back at the "Fengrenyuan" youth hostel, Director Ma was sitting in the yard wiping his camera with a towel, while Tie Nan was sleeping on a deck chair staring at the sky in a daze, while the ashtray at hand was already filled with cigarette butts. The cigarette butts seemed to cry, saying that a decadent man had killed them in a particularly unseemly way.

I moved a chair and sat down next to Tie Nan, and said: "If these cigarettes can be used, they will definitely slap you. Look at this pack of cigarettes, there is no one alive. Are you trying to kill people from the nine clans?" ?”

Tie Nan took a puff of cigarette enjoying himself, and replied calmly: "We are hurting each other, enjoying the pleasure of being abused by each other... When I smoke them, they also kill my offspring Well, that's hundreds of millions."

I froze for a moment before I understood.This dude is really slutty, I can only say "smoking is harmful to health" ashamed of myself, almost forgetting that I am also an old smoker.

Tie Nan opened another pack of cigarettes, then took out one and handed it to me. After I lit it, I said to him: "I thought about opening the inn again today, but I think now is a good time , it is precisely because the policy is not clear that many innkeepers are eager to sell, and the transfer price will definitely be lower than the original market price. If I choose to take over at this time, it is equivalent to copying the bottom. If the policy is loosened by then , The inns resumed business one after another, so I won't make money."

Tetsuo sat up from the recliner, stared at me for a while with extremely sharp eyes, and said: "If the policy becomes stricter by then, if after this rectification, the government starts to control The number of inns, what do you do?"

"It's impossible not to take some risks in this matter. I came to Dali to open an inn."

"My buddy still advises you to be careful... If you think you have to do it, you can consider finding a company in the ancient city to take over to do it. Don't touch the ones on the Erhai Lake."

I responded, and then took a deep breath.At the same time, I felt more or less a sense of crisis in my heart.It seems that as long as the export of money is involved, living in any city will not be particularly easy.

At this time, I really envied Yang Sisi's mentality when she came to Dali. It seemed that her mentality could easily integrate her into the most interesting life in Dali.However, if you think about it deeply, she has such capital.Even if she degenerates in Dali for two or three years, she will still be a rich lady when she returns to Shanghai.

and I?I can't escape the confinement of fate at all. I came to Dali only to live a better life than before, so with this purpose, I still can't completely abandon the word "struggle" from my life.

Perhaps, I will never be able to become a pure Dali person, and I still have the genes of living in Shanghai in my bones!
