selling chili peppers in chronology

===========================

When the bus arrived in the county, Chen Ming, Chen Qian and Chen Fen carried things to sell, while Chen Chen and Du Xingwei were going to transfer to the bus to the provincial capital.

Going to the provincial capital in this era is actually quite unthinkable. If it’s the Chinese New Year, it’s fine. There will inevitably be activities such as visiting relatives, so there will be relatively more people taking cars at that time, but like today’s If there is no festival, there will be fewer people.

Du Xingwei took Chen Chen to buy a bus ticket with him.The conductor carefully checked the introduction letter, collected the money and issued the ticket, and the two took the luggage and got on the bus.

Du Xingwei wore a watch on his wrist today. After putting away his luggage, he looked down at the time, and then said to Chen Chen: "There is still half an hour before the car leaves, do you want to eat something?"

"Aunt Liu got up this morning to steam steamed buns, I'm not hungry." Chen Chen asked, "Did you have breakfast?"

Du Xingwei said: "I have eaten."

With that said, Du Xingwei sat down.

The bus to the provincial capital is bigger than the bus to the village, and it looks better just by looking at it.The car hadn't started yet, and there was no obvious smell of fuel in the air, but it was a little stuffy.The glass window was wiped clean, and it didn't take much effort to open it, but it was cold, so Chen Chen only opened it halfway.

At this moment, the wind was blowing the broken hair on Chen Chen's forehead, his nose was a little red from the cold, but he was in good spirits, "Du Xingwei, what business do you do?"

This came so suddenly that Du Xingwei was stunned.

In the past, when he chatted with Chen Chen, he would occasionally talk about doing business. Although Du Xingwei didn't deliberately hide it, he didn't mention it much.Chen Chen didn't even ask.

But today, he suddenly asked.

After reacting, Du Xingwei said, "Just sell something."

Chen Chen remembered what Du Xingwei said yesterday: "Tea?"

"Not only." Du Xingwei said: "It depends on the situation, if there is a supply, we will sell it."

Chen Chen asked: "Are there regular buyers or retail?"

Du Xingwei replied: "All of them."

Du Xingwei said that his business is more complicated, usually running around the country, and the things produced in remote places are packaged and sold to places with better economics such as the capital city of Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and then the clothes, tapes, and radios produced in these places are sold. Wait until such fashionable things are sold where they don't exist.

To put it bluntly, it is constantly throwing things around.

Of course, to do this, you must have a source of goods, but the general state-owned factories will not take other people’s orders casually, especially when they first proposed to be responsible for their own profits and losses, all the state-owned factories are arrogant, and they don’t care about private orders at all. Felt that working with private individuals lowered their standards.

So at the beginning, he was a little troubled, but he got to know some people and found some factories that were convenient for cooperation before he stabilized.

What Du Xingwei said was simple, but Chen Chen listened to those few words and thought of Du Xingwei's activities that he would go out every once in a while, thinking that Du Xingwei might not only do these businesses.

But he didn't ask, after all, they didn't want to mention it.

Chen Chen just asked: "Do you need a ticket for the watches you sell?"

Du Xingwei responded quickly, "Do you want it?"

Chen Chen told the truth, "I want to buy it. But I need a ticket to buy it in the department store in the county. I don't have it, so I haven't bought it."

Du Xingwei said: "I should still have some watches in my hand. If you don't mind that they come from a private factory, I can give you one."

People in this era admire the things produced in state-owned factories, and they are prejudiced against the things produced in many private factories. In addition, state-owned factories are backed by the state, and many technologies are indeed better than private ones, which led to the beginning of private factories. It's really hard, and things don't sell that well.

But Chen Chen didn't have this concern, "Of course I don't mind. It's not easy to buy a watch now, but it would be nice to have one."

Du Xingwei said, "I'll bring it to you when I get to the provincial capital."

Chen Chen shook his head, "No, I'll buy it."

Du Xingwei: "It's okay."

Du Xingwei's tone was very light from the beginning to the end, and he felt that giving a watch was no big deal to him.Chen Chen pushed it, and then he agreed.Anyway, he didn't intend to be too innocent with Du Xingwei.

"Then I'll take it."

"Just take it."

Just like this, half an hour passed quickly, the bus was not full, but the driver had already left.

It may be that the performance of this car is good, and the road to the provincial capital is relatively smooth, at least there is no need for a roller coaster ride like going to the village, so Chen Chen feels much more comfortable when sitting up, without the overly strong feeling of wanting to vomit.

Of course, the speed of the car is not fast now, and the two places are far apart, so it takes about seven hours to get to the provincial capital.

At the beginning, there were still people chatting in the car, but they all slowly fell asleep while sitting.

Chen Chen was also drowsy, but he was afraid that his things would be stolen, so he forced himself not to sleep.

That head bit by bit.

Du Xingwei glanced at him several times, and finally couldn't stand it anymore, "Go to sleep."

Chen Chen said: "No need."

Du Xingwei said, "You can hardly keep your eyes open."

Chen Chen glanced around, moved closer to Du Xingwei, and lowered his voice, "I'm worried."

Because of the cold weather, Chen Chen closed the windows after the car set off. He didn't suffer from motion sickness badly, but he wasn't dizzy at all. It showed on his face that the blood on his lips was light, and he was a little sleepy. The position at the end of his eyes Still a little red, sleepy and lazy, like fragile porcelain.

Du Xingwei's eyes paused at the end of Chen Chen's eyes for a while, and his voice lowered, "I'm watching."

Chen Chen opened his eyes a little, and when he opened his eyelashes fluttered like wings.

He asked, "Aren't you sleeping?"

Du Xingwei replied: "I'm not sleepy."

Chen Chen looked at Du Xingwei carefully with his eyes open, and found that there was no trace of drowsiness on his handsome face. Although his eyes were deep, they were very clear.

Looking at his face, Chen Chen dozed off and ran away, but said in his mouth: "Then I will sleep for a while, you will call me in three hours, and then you will sleep."

Du Xingwei: "Yes."

Having said that, Chen Chen leaned on the seat and closed his eyes, turning his face towards Du Xingwei.

The sun shines in from outside the glass window, and when it falls on the skin, it can bring a slight warmth, and it can make people's eyelids dizzy.

Du Xingwei crossed his hands on his thighs, and he could see Chen Chen's face with a slight tilt of his eyes.Du Xingwei found that Chen Chen's skin was paler than before, and he should have raised it after he hadn't been in the field much. His eyelids were lightly closed, and he looked small and obedient.

Du Xingwei watched for a while, then closed his eyes.

The car kept moving forward, and about 10 to [-] minutes later, the wheels seemed to have driven into an uneven pothole, and even the carriage was bumped, and Du Xingwei felt a head on his arm.

As soon as he opened his eyes and tilted his head, Chen Chen's head rested on his shoulder.

He seemed to be a little uncomfortable from the bump, his brows were slightly frowned, but he didn't wake up, half of his face was buried between the seat and his shoulder, only the other half was exposed.

A slight breath swept over his neck, and Du Xingwei stopped breathing.

He raised his hand subconsciously, pressed Chen Chen's shoulder, trying to push Chen Chen back to his own position, but just after his shoulder moved slightly, Chen Chen's whole body moved towards him according to the inertia , almost half nestled in front of his left chest.

Du Xingwei froze.

The shoulders under the palms are a bit thin, and the obvious bones can be touched. The other party's breathing is very light, and it can't be heard at all in this slightly noisy driving vehicle. Even the ears under the black hair are whiter because of the sunlight outside the window.

Du Xingwei pursed his lips, raised his hand and landed on Chen Chen's head, what he touched was the soft hair.

The car was still driving, the road was lined with fertile land, the trees were few withered and yellow, and the weeds were swaying with the wind.

Du Xingwei was in a stalemate for a while, but in the end he still didn't wake Chen Chen up, and even adjusted his posture to make Chen Chen get closer.

……

Chen Chen slept for four hours.

When I opened my eyes, there was a warm chest, and there was a steady heartbeat in my ears.Chen Chen was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered where he was leaning.He blinked his eyes twice, and was reluctant to move away directly, and leaned on for another half a minute before sitting his body back.

During this process, he secretly glanced at Du Xingwei's face, and was relieved when he saw that his eyes were closed.

Although he knew that Du Xingwei didn't push him away, but at that time he was pretending to be asleep, and it was possible that they didn't push him away directly because they saw him falling asleep. An embarrassing incident happened, so it's better not to face it directly.

It's just... I can't help but feel a little regretful.

Chen Chen looked at Du Xingwei's stern side face and thought: If he directly expressed his feelings to Du Xingwei and said that he wanted to chase him, would Du Xingwei beat him up in anger?

After all, Du Xingwei was ruthless when he dealt with people.

Thinking of this, Chen Chen sighed in disappointment, and turned his head to look out the window.

Chen Chen, who was staring at the scenery outside the window and thinking about life, didn't know that Du Xingwei opened his eyes not long after he turned his head.His eyes were clear, and it was obvious that he hadn't slept.

It's just that the eyes looking at Chen Chen are a little complicated.

Chen Chen knew nothing about these things.

After more than an hour, Chen Chen didn't sleep again. Every time he looked at Du Xingwei, Du Xingwei closed his eyes and maintained the same posture. Chen Chen really thought he was asleep.

There was still a large area of ​​sleep in the car, and their luggage was still in place, and it hadn't been tampered with or stolen.But Chen Chen didn't dare to be careless, so he kept paying attention.

As the sun slanted to the west and dyed the sky golden, scattered houses appeared on both sides of the road, and the cars drove more and more densely. When the houses could be connected together, Chen Chen knew that they had entered the provincial capital.

The houses in the provincial capital are indeed built higher than the low houses in Yongxing County. Most of the wide roads are lined with tube buildings, which are built with cement.

The clothes of passers-by on the road are also more colorful, and the styles are obviously better than those in Yongxing County.

From time to time along both sides of the road, there will be stalls selling things passing by. Food is the most, but there will also be barber shops, small clinics, newsstands, clothing stores, etc. Chen Chen even saw a shoe store.

When passing through a small crossroad, some students from an elementary school have left school. A string of children with schoolbags on their backs passed by the car window. That expression knew he was smiling.

Some of them didn't know whether they were hungry or greedy, and they were eating a piece of fried cake in their hands.

Chen Chen couldn't help thinking of the group of children in the village, and compared with the group of children who had gone far away, Chen Chen had to admit: the countryside is indeed different from the provincial capital.

The car arrived at the station, and after turning off the engine, the driver shouted loudly, "The provincial capital has arrived!"
