That hutong was supposed to be the exit of a neighborhood, because this end is a street in the village, and that end turns two corners and leads to General Road, so between the two buildings and the storage room at the back of this open neighborhood, it became a hutong.
It was nighttime every time I passed by there, and it was just after nine o'clock after the dance. The girl was standing under the pole, sometimes leaning on it.
This is the village of the provincial capital, the facilities are not as good as our hometown in the countryside, there is no street light, walking at night in this village does not need a street light, this is a densely populated, business is good, both sides of the road are selling small stores, every few steps there will be a mobile vendors, in the tricycle tied to a light bulb, convenient to their own also illuminated the other people.
The day is cold, the girl wore a light-colored cotton jacket, eyebrow student head, thin leg pants with a pair of flat black cotton shoes, face without powder, face small eyes, small broad mouth, looks dressed up very ordinary, thrown into the pile of people is difficult to find out. The girl stood there with her hands in her pockets, her feet alternately pointing to the ground, her eyes constantly looking at the east side of the street, and then looking at the west side of the street, patiently waiting for something.
Every time I pass by there, I see the girl waiting for something, sometimes by herself, sometimes with another girl. I've seen it more often, and I know that this girl and the street inside those who stand in the mouth of the alley, dressed in demonic women, are the same as that industry.
The heart can not help but be surprised: this phenomenon in our home county many years ago, these years, not so blatant, how to still be so rampant here?
The word "rampant" is also used, the street walks to the end of the two sides of a dozen hutongs, almost every hutong mouth stood one or two, more places there are three or four. The street is very narrow, their eyes catch up with every man walking on the street, mouth and the opposite side of the hutong sister high voice jokes. Hutong mouth standing more, laughing and joking attracted passers-by are sideways glance. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a new one, and you'll be able to do that.
There is a market for it, and there is a demand for it. This is what our boss's wife said. Indeed often see customers door to door, men are generally alone, there are two or three in a group, that situation is rare, first look around out of the corner of your eye to see if there is no one to pay attention to, sticking to the root of the wall into the woman, the first whispered a few words, it should be bargaining. The price is good, the woman in the front, the man in the back, walking quickly to the dark depths of the hutong. The first thing you need to do is to get a good deal on the price of the product.
The day passed the group in the hutong mouth laughing women, a hare-lipped man walked straight to one of the women in front of the woman immediately stopped laughing, followed by hare-lipped man into the hutong, after not a moment and came out, the woman that rubbed the snow-white face is full of contempt, head into the group of sisters and laughing again. Rabbit lip man also walked out, turned a corner to go elsewhere. It should be the price given is too low, let the woman too disdain.
Admire the inner strength of these women, so that all the people are not ashamed of them, but also let them not ashamed of the people. They probably think their trade is honorable, if that's what it is, so they can flaunt it in full view of the traffic.
Once I saw a man go up to talk to a woman, and there was that one woman standing at the mouth of the alley. At first, the woman was very enthusiastic to meet the eyes, said a few words after the woman turned her face to the side, no longer pay attention to the man. The man raised his voice, said I respect you, I just do a social survey, and then blah blah blah said a lot, the woman twisted around and walked away. Door-to-door not business, but also delayed people to do business, this is the man's wrong.
Compared to those women, this student-like woman standing under the pole is much more dedicated. Inside those who sometimes do not see the trail, this one is not only cold days do not stop work, is raining and snowing, but also business as usual. Look at her to cover herself tightly, but also frozen back and forth swaying body, but also really not easy.
The day again from there, this time a woman wearing a black cotton dress and she stood there together, the two relative smoking, do not speak, the eyes are very professional inspection of the pedestrians passing.
The young, do something bad? Really can not understand these women without shame.
