Chapter 2: I am Liu Lao Liu, the Legend

  In a short while, the vendor rode his "Mengben" brand tricycle around the corner, Tian Miao Miao had already chased after him, and the old lady was still shouting behind: "Xiao Miao Miao, if you really can't catch up, then forget it..."

  After hearing this, Tian Miao Miao wiped away her tears and reluctantly continued the chase. This means that if Tian Miao Miao doesn't drive this little peddler out of the three streets today, she would be considered "unreliable". The old lady's diplomatic rhetoric is no worse than those used by high-ranking officials in Zhongnanhai!

  Whether Tian Niu Niu caught up with Xiao Fan is no longer explained here, she was actually a clever girl who knew that to survive here, she needed to get along with certain people. Take that day's matter for example, if Old Lady hadn't considered Tian Niu Niu as an outsider, she would never have let her run this errand. The residents of Happiness Road were not only arrogant but also very reserved towards outsiders.

  Tian Miao Miao had a good day after working for only two hours, thanks to her hard work over the past month. She took every word from the elderly women as "imperial edicts", and although she wasn't a civil servant, she had already embodied the identity of a "public servant". The elderly women, who were extremely sensitive to politics, saw that Tian Miao Miao's service was not superficial, but rather meticulous in detail, putting her work into practice. The energy released by the satisfied elderly women was also astonishing. Among the three new graduates who started working with Tian Miao Miao, one had already been driven away, and the remaining two were exhausted every day, stuck at the vegetable market trying to collect management fees from street vendors. Tian Miao Miao only needed to report to the elderly women and then carry their vegetable baskets to buy all the vegetables they needed, and by the time she returned, the management fees had already been collected.

  Tian Miao Miao didn't bother to ask about that street vendor again. As the only young man who had pedaled a rickshaw into Happiness Road without being let down in nearly two years, such an achievement was enough for Tian Miao Miao to selectively forget him.

  There are many Liu Laus in this world, and the one in front of Tian Miao is undoubtedly the most Liu Lao Liu!

  Liu Laoliu, male, age unknown, first job is not clear. This person is an old swindler, always talking about the four skills of storytelling: cheating and deceiving. Without a proper job, he usually hangs around in various places in Dayuan City, such as bridges, parks, and alleys. Normally, he sets up a stall to help people with fortune-telling, calculating auspicious dates, and matchmaking. When he's feeling particularly lecherous, he also helps single, lonely, middle-aged women "fix their water meter"... Finally, if primary school students can afford it, he'll even do their homework for them, take revenge, or bully others on their behalf.

  His everyday basic outfit consists of wearing a pair of sunglasses that aren't transparent, with two small eyes behind them more sensitive than phased array radar. He carries a computer bag on his back, which absolutely doesn't contain a computer, but has all sorts of things like divination compasses, trigrams, talismans, spirit symbols, tiger claws, switchblades, scissors, daggers, impact drills, iron wire, retractable batons, poker cards... In short, he's got everything a swindler should have, and even more.

  This guy also has a set of skills, barbering, tooth extraction, orthopedics, computer repair, system installation, and refilling ink cartridges, while also serving as an agent for pirated discs in Dayuan City.

  Tian Miao's experience tells us that if you're lucky enough to run into Liu Lao Liu on the street, the right thing to do is to immediately keep a safe distance from him and call the police, unless you think life has no interest. It's said that a girl who wanted to jump into the river to commit suicide was stimulated by Liu Lao Liu's few words not only didn't die but also changed her career to become a private detective, just to find this old rascal...

  This old rascal has recently offended both the underworld and the law, and can no longer make a living, so he fled to the Happiness Road market to eke out a living. Liu Lao Liu is a man with rich life experience and even richer fighting experience. As soon as he arrived, Tian Miao Miao's good days came to an end. The old ladies who usually dominated Happiness Road were quickly taken down by him, and from time to time, he would swindle people out of their money with tricks like "Cang Mi" and "Xue Bao". This old scoundrel saw an opportunity and set up a stall wherever the crowd was large, and when some vendors argued with him, he actually pulled out a baton from his bag and started dancing wildly, causing the vendors' fruits and vegetables to be thrown onto the street...

  The vendors who had paid the stall fees were not doing well, so Tian Miao Miao became the target of bombing. After being cheated twice by Liu Lao Liu, Tian Miao Miao learned from the war and quickly figured out the old man's routine, interests, and hobbies. The two people who came and went became familiar with each other. Tian Miao Miao discovered that this old man staying in the vegetable market was not all bad, for example, when someone bought vegetables and lost an electric car, or when an old lady had her purse stolen while buying vegetables, as long as he was treated to a meal and two packs of cigarettes, he could always catch the culprit. His eyes were more useful than electronic surveillance.

  At the same time that the security situation on Happiness Road improved dramatically, the Daxian City Thieves' Union also issued a notice: if Liu Lao Liu dared to take half a step out of Happiness Road, he would be castrated on the spot and shown no mercy. As a result, Liu Lao Liu stayed put in the Comprehensive Market with a clear conscience.

  Tian Miao had a small office with a rest room in the northeast corner of the market, where she would come to register after collecting the stall fees. As usual, she made herself a cup of coffee, took out her new iPhone 5s and plugged in her earphones, just as she sat down properly, Liu Lao Liu sauntered in.

  Quick-handed Tian Miao grabbed the coffee and poured it into her mouth without caring about the scalding temperature. In the end, her tongue couldn't withstand the over 70°C heat, and she spat out the coffee. Liu Laosix shook his head and sat down across from her, taking Tian Miao's cup and sucking it dry in one gulp.

  Tian Miao glared at him with hatred, but Liu Lao Liu was not affected at all. He skillfully opened the drawer and looked inside, then asked in a wronged tone: "Xiao Miao Miao, where did you hide Yu Xi?"

  Tian Miao rolled her eyes and pulled out a pack of Zi Yun cigarettes from Liu Lao Liu: "I'd rather not waste 10 yuan on cigarettes, let alone Yu Xi. This was given to me by someone who came to do business, if you don't want to smoke it, give it back to me." After finishing speaking, she got up and threw the cup into the trash can, this is the third one this month...

  Three rural issues, two exemptions and one subsidy, science and education to promote agriculture, poverty alleviation... a string of questions, the candidate came out of the examination room still didn't understand how to answer, what new rural construction, what agricultural season, what county committee and government's "three transformations four modernizations five improvements", finally there was even an essay question!

  This is really what Chinese people are most afraid of, exams! From an early age, Tian Miao's academic performance has never been ideal. This time, the exam was also forced by her family, and Tian Miao didn't understand it. Isn't she already working? Why do you have to take the civil service exam just to become a police officer in a precinct?
