"Big brother, how is business today?" Hu Mingchen quietly walked into the ticket booth of the movie theater, and Hu Mingyi, who was in charge of taking care of it, was filling in the date on the movie ticket.

As soon as Hu Mingyi looked up, he saw that it was Hu Mingchen, he was happy at first, and then his expression became silent again: "Business is okay, but it's not as good as last year, and it's only one hundred and eighty yuan from today to now." Xiao Chen, you have been in the city for a long time this time, more than a month, how are things going in the city?"

"Everything is going pretty well. Hu Mingchen brushed over the business aspects of Xingsheng Development Co., Ltd. in one sentence: "Big brother, don't have ideas and pressure burdens, this year's business is not as good as last year, it is normal, this is not your responsibility, hehe." What's more, it's only past four o'clock now, and there are two more in the future, as long as there are more than two hundred a day, that's good. ”

This year's business is not as good as last year, which Hu Mingchen has long observed.

The reason for this is that Hu Mingchen has a preliminary feeling and analysis.

The business of Duge Cinema seems to be a little weaker, which has nothing to do with the state of economic development, Duge Township is still that immortal, but it has something to do with the flow of people and the freshness of the past.

This year, the number of young people who go out to work in Duge Township has increased significantly. The largest consumer group of movie theaters is young people, and since many people choose to work in coastal places with job opportunities, it is bound to shrink the local customer base.

On the other hand, the freshness and sensation caused by the cinema are fading. There was no cinema in the township before, but as soon as it opened, it would naturally make many people feel fresh and fashionable, and they had to find a way to experience and feel it. As more and more people enter the cinema, that curiosity has been erased a lot. Especially those middle-aged and elderly people, out of early adopters, may pay to watch a movie or two, but they don't watch it often, and after knowing what watching a movie is about, their desire to watch a movie will decrease.

Under the influence of these two factors, it is not surprising that the business of Dug Township cinemas has declined.

In another ten years, not only will the cinemas in Dug Township be wiped out, but also the video halls and laser theaters in the city will all be rolled into the abyss of history. This was due to the popularity of CVDs and DVDs and the presence of computers in every ordinary person's home. It wasn't until a few years later that the newer, big-screen cinema arose again, attracting young people to the cinema again.

After having the bottom in his heart, Hu Mingchen will not blame Hu Mingyi for bad business for no reason.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to do it, so the business is not as good as it used to be. Hu Mingyi said faintly guilty.

"Big brother, what do you think, you have done quite well, if it weren't for your hard work, maybe you wouldn't have the current business. Don't worry, I really don't blame you, it has nothing to do with your half a dime. In business, the environment is changing all the time, there is no such thing as a trick to eat all over the world, and there is no kind of reason that business was good last year and must be good this year. Hu Mingchen smiled and patted Hu Mingyi's shoulder and said.

"Yo, Xiao Chen is here, you haven't eaten yet, I've just cooked the dishes, hurry, you hurry up and go eat first." At this time, Wu Chunli came over from the side and was surprised to see Hu Mingchen present.

"Wu Xianxian, I have to eat, I just came back from the city, and I haven't returned home yet. It's been a long time since I've eaten Wu Xianxian's craftsmanship, and I really want to eat, hehe, big brother, let's go, let's eat, there won't be many people here at this time, let's talk about it after eating. "For eating in the cinema, Hu Mingchen has never rejected it, on the one hand, Wu Chunli's craftsmanship is not bad, on the other hand, the money he pays is also justified in eating.

"Okay, let's go, eat, I'll come over as soon as I get a bowl, and someone still needs to guard here." Hu Mingyi stood up and said.

"Hehe, whatever you want. Wu Xianxian, Xiong Xiaolin, call her for dinner. When he walked out, he didn't see Xiong Xiaoling, Hu Mingchen asked.

During the summer vacation, she didn't go to school, she would make her own food at home, and she didn't need to come to the cinema. Wu Chunli rubbed her hands and said.

Wu Chunli felt that when she was in school, Xiong Xiaolin had nowhere to eat at noon, so she came to the cinema to follow the light, which was reluctant and understandable. But if you come to eat when you don't go to school, you shouldn't be a little disappointed.

In fact, even if Xiong Xiaolin was in the cinema all the time, Hu Mingchen would not have any opinions. However, Wu Chunli's self-esteem is still quite strong, and he feels that during the holiday, Xiong Xiaolin should solve it at home by herself, and she can't take advantage of it too much.

"Wu Xianxian, it's nothing, multiple people just have a pair of chopsticks. You're like this, you're going to see a lot of things, and remember to call her tomorrow. She's a little doll, what can she do to eat at home, and now it's time to grow her body, remember to call her, everyone eats hot, it's okay. Hu Mingchen waved his hand and said indifferently.

"You are really kind, your family has taken care of and helped us enough, during the Chinese New Year, you were still beaten and suffered for my family, and you don't want to ...... the compensation money to you"

"Yes, yes, yes, Wu Xianxian, don't talk about those things in the Year of the Monkey and the Moon, hehe, between us, I help you, you help me, you should be, you should, don't mention those things. Hu Mingchen hurriedly interrupted Wu Chunli's chatter.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the two brothers robbed Wu Chunli and Xiong Xiaolin, and the two robbers not only received the punishment they deserved, but Song Qiaoshan also came forward to ask for a sum of medical expenses and compensation from the riverside coal mine. Wu Chunli wanted to give a part to Hu Mingchen and Hu Jianqiang, but they didn't accept it.

What Hu Mingchen did at that time was to act bravely, but once he received the money, the meaning was completely different. Besides, the economic situation of Wu Chunli and Xiong Xiaolin's mother and daughter is not very good, how could Hu Mingchen get a piece of the pie, he doesn't want others to say that he is taking advantage of the danger of others and selling his reputation. This is a good deed, either not to do it, or to do it to the end. If you get half of it, you will be spurned and disdainful.

"Wu Chunli, Xiao Chen said whatever she wants, even if the child doesn't come, she came today, but you drove her back, it's really not necessary. Hu Mingchen echoed Hu Mingchen and said.

After eating, Hu Mingchen left the cinema, anyway, he couldn't help much if he stayed, the operation of the cinema was already on track, and it didn't make much difference if Hu Mingchen was not there.

Leaving the cinema, Hu Mingchen did not go home as soon as possible, he brought some tea from the city to Song Qiaoshan, and he planned to send it over as soon as possible.

For Song Qiaoshan, Hu Mingchen didn't dare to give him anything casually. Song Qiaoshan is more principled, if Hu Mingchen sends him something valuable or tacky, not only will he not accept it, but he is very likely to be scolded by him if he doesn't get it right.

Therefore, Hu Mingchen can only choose some elegant and civilized things to give to Song Qiaoshan, this time Hu Mingchen weighed a pound of Maojian tea in the city, Hu Mingchen believes that Song Qiaoshan, who loves tea, should not refuse this gift.

Hu Mingchen arrived in front of the dormitory building of the township government, and happened to meet Song Qiaoshan coming back from work.

"When did you come back?" Seeing Hu Mingchen, Song Qiaoshan asked with a smile.

"Not long after you got off the bus, master, have you eaten?" Hu Mingchen asked with concern after replying.

"I just don't want to eat to come back, go, go upstairs and sit, I'll take a random test of you, see if you have been lazy and wasted for more than a month. Song Qiaoshan dialed Hu Mingchen's brain.

"Master, don't worry, how dare I relax, all the progress is done according to your requirements. Master, why don't you want to eat? Are you sick if you're not in good health?"

During this time in the city, Hu Mingchen, as always, got up early every day to exercise his body. It's just that the venue has changed from the riverside under the bridge in Duge Township to the Liangcheng City Gymnasium.

Just because he has been insisting, Hu Mingchen will not worry about Song Qiaoshan's random examination.

"Where am I so easy to get sick, don't guess, let's go, go upstairs. After speaking, Song Qiaoshan took the lead and walked towards his dormitory.

Hu Mingchen hurriedly followed, he guessed that something should have happened to Song Qiaoshan, otherwise he wouldn't have even eaten. It's just that Song Qiaoshan doesn't want to mention it, Hu Mingchen just forget it, he can't ask Song Qiaoshan to break the casserole to the end.

When he arrived at Song Qiaoshan's dormitory, he immediately adopted the assessment mode for Hu Mingchen and asked Hu Mingchen to repeat what he taught.

In every project, Hu Mingchen not only passed the test smoothly, but also made significant progress, and all of them were overcompleted. As long as the boxing is a little difficult in the not spacious dormitory, Song Qiaoshan plans to test him again the next day.

"Well, okay, I'm still satisfied, you really didn't laze when you went to the city. Regarding Hu Mingchen's performance, Song Qiaoshan nodded in affirmation.

"Thank you, master, I don't dare to forget your teaching, didn't you say it, karma is good at diligence and frolic, I won't waste it." Hu Mingchen stood in the middle of the dormitory and bowed slightly to Song Qiaoshan.

"That's good, how is the progress of your family's company in the city?" After testing Hu Mingchen, Song Qiaoshan cared about his family's career.

"It's going well, although there is no profit at all now, but I believe it will be fruitful in a short time. Master, this is a pound of tea I brought you, I know you won't accept other things, I believe you won't refuse this. Hu Mingchen opened his backpack and took out the box of tea in a plastic bag in his heart.

"Tea, why should I refuse...... I see that your house over there in the cattle and horse market has passed for so long, and it has not resumed work, but the foundation has been laid, is your family going to give up that place?" Song Qiaoshan washed a cup of water with the tea leaves that Hu Mingchen bought.
