88. Relatives

Early the next morning, before six o'clock, Zhou Fangyuan's family had already arrived at the fast food restaurant early, although it was already bright outside, there were no pedestrians on the road. There were only a few sanitation workers, who were standing at the door, looking curiously at the shop that had opened early.

In fact, everyone has long been very curious about this restaurant, hamburger fried chicken or something, in Beitong, a small inland third- and fourth-tier city, is actually quite a tall existence. You've only seen it on TV, and a few of you have actually seen it or even eaten it? That's why it's not very good, but when it's sold for breakfast at the school gate, it's crazy to be robbed by students.

This store began to be renovated more than a month ago, and at first everyone was very curious about what kind of store this was. A few days ago, the sign at the door was hung up, and everyone's curiosity was even heavier. Seeing that it is about to open today, several sanitation uncles and aunts are no longer cleaning, so they stand outside the door and point at this store.

The waiters are all in place, the kitchen, the bar, the cashier, and the waiters, all ready to go, waiting for a customer to come to the door.

"Nervous?"

Time passed minute by minute, Zhou's mother's palms were sweaty, and Zhou's father, who had been holding her hand, asked softly.

"Sort of. ”

Mother Zhou nodded stiffly, anyone could see that her heart was not calm at this time.

Zhou Fangyuan stood next to him, also a little nervous, this is the first time he has really opened a store in the two worlds combined, although the registered legal person of this store is Zhou's mother, but it is no different from him, if he wants to say that he is not nervous, it is definitely fake. It's just that he hides it well, and it's undoubtedly much better than his mother's obviously pale face.

Today, my parents are wearing very formal clothes, my father passed out his only suit, my mother wore a red dress, and she simply dressed up before going out, and even made a special hair last night, just thinking about today's beautiful appearance.

At 6:15, Zhou Fangyuan's grandparents appeared outside the door. This is the first time Zhou Fangyuan has seen his grandfather since he was reborn, unlike the appearance that he had suffered from cerebral infarction and respiratory diseases before his rebirth, and even walked a little hard, Zhou Fangyuan's grandfather is still very healthy, he goes to the park every day to play tai chi, his body is quite strong, standing there does not look like a person in his fifties at all, it looks like he is only a little older than Zhou Fangyuan's father.

On the contrary, it is Zhou Fangyuan's grandmother, because she suffered from a muscle disease last year, and the muscle atrophy is quite serious, and the old lady will go to the capital for treatment next year, and the final effect is quite good, before Zhou Fangyuan was reborn, the old lady's physical condition was much better than that of the old man. But now, grandma needs to be supported by grandpa before she can walk.

Seeing the old couple coming, Zhou's father immediately walked out and helped his grandmother in with his grandfather.

"Mom, sit down. ”

Although Zhou's father is unproductive, he is a filial son and is very good to Zhou Fangyuan's grandparents.

"Well," Zhou Fangyuan's grandmother nodded, sat down at a dining table inside, the old man looked at the restaurant curiously, and kept nodding, "Beautiful, so beautiful, I thought you just made it simple, but I didn't expect you to make it so beautiful, you must have spent a lot of money, if you lack money, tell your mother, your mother will definitely support you." ”

"Okay, I'll tell you if you're short of money. ”

Dad Zhou smiled and nodded.

But Zhou Fangyuan could see that Zhou's mother pouted faintly beside her.

Zhou Fangyuan smiled bitterly in his heart, his grandparents, sometimes some things are really not very beautiful, just like now, it stands to reason that if you really want to help, then really help, I don't know if your son is a person who will never speak unless he is forced to do so? Unfortunately, Zhou Fangyuan's grandmother has never just talked, even if Zhou Fangyuan and his father really spoke, only two or three times out of ten times could get help.

But what can a child say, and can he not be filial to his parents because of such a thing?

It is normal for Zhou's mother to pout because of this, after all, Zhou Fangyuan's grandmother is always like this, and everyone who has heard it has long been heard and doesn't want to hear it. But she is really a very sensible daughter-in-law, and if she is a more spicy person, she will already make a fuss. Even if you don't mess with your parents-in-law, can you still go home and not mess with your own man? But Zhou's mother, in her life, she has never told Zhou's father about Zhou Fangyuan's grandmother and grandfather because of this kind of thing, she didn't let her husband suffer splint anger, but often persuaded her man not to be angry, and if something good, she always thinks of her mother-in-law first, and then thinks of her mother-in-law.

So Zhou's mother has really done a very good job, and Zhou Fangyuan sometimes even thinks that his future wife can be half of his mother's, and he will thank God for burning high incense.

At half past six, Zhou Fangyuan's second uncle, third uncle and aunt arrived at the same time, along with his eldest sister, the eldest daughter of the second uncle's family, Zhou Fanghui. is three years younger than Zhou Fangyuan, and she also went to the sixth middle school to go to junior high school this year, but her homework is much better than when Zhou Fangyuan was in junior high school.

When everyone entered the store, they expressed their amazement at the various decorations of the fast food restaurant, as if a pair of eyes were not enough. Zhou's father and Zhou's mother all accepted it with a smile, and did not say that these things were all made by Zhou Fangyuan, or that sentence, Zhou Fangyuan took the initiative to ask for the hope of hiding himself, and Zhou's father and Zhou's mother were also happy to do so for his study.

After waiting for a while, people from Zhou Fangyuan's grandmother's family also came.

As soon as Zhou Fangyuan's grandfather and grandmother entered the door, they sat down with his grandmother and grandfather.

His uncle and second aunt came to Zhou's mother silently and whispered this, which was in stark contrast to Zhou Fangyuan's second and third uncles' loud laughter. And the fundamental reason for this is the imbalance in the status of the two families.

Although the old Zhou family is not a big family, because of Zhou Fangyuan's grandfather, all the children have settled in the city and become regular employees in the factory. Although people will continue to be laid off in two years, after all, the concept cannot be changed in a day or two. Looking at Zhou Fangyuan's grandfather's family, a serious farmer, my ancestors don't know how many generations have been farmers.

It's not that the farmers are bad, but in the eyes of the Beitong people in this era, it is great to be able to enter the city, and it is even more enviable to be able to eat public meals. As for the peasants, facing the loess with their backs to the sky, they have suffered the heaviest and have not been able to make much money. Moreover, because the children of peasant families cannot go to school in the city or find a job, the status of peasants is much lower than that of urban residents, which is also a very helpless thing.

In fact, who are you going to say is rich? In fact, Zhou Fangyuan's grandfather's family is even richer.

Farmers or something, in fact, have stopped farming for several years. Zhou Fangyuan's grandfather opened a small store, and the business was good. In this era when the shoes are broken, everyone will take them to repair instead of buying a new pair of shoes, repairing a pair of shoes is less than one or two yuan or more than three or five yuan, and there is no problem in entering the account at the end of the day, and sometimes it can even break a hundred.

Do the math how much money does it cost in a month? And what about the income from the commissary?

In fact, the living conditions of Zhou Fangyuan's grandfather's family are really much better than those of his grandfather's family, but because of the different identities of urban and rural residents, their status is different. The relatives on Grandpa's side are very confident and have the confidence to speak. The relatives on my grandfather's side are very unconfident and speak very quietly.

However, Zhou Fangyuan's uncle, aunt, second aunt and second uncle are really good to him, unlike his grandfather's side who only talk about it most of the time, a few relatives on his grandfather's side are really willing to help. Don't talk about it, let's just say that this time to open a store, when grandpa knew that Zhou's mother wanted to open a fast food restaurant, he came to Zhou Fangyuan's house the next morning, and directly took out 30,000 yuan for Zhou's mother to use.

Zhou's mother was also easy to say, and swore a gambling curse to ensure that she really had enough money, and the old man took the money back. And the same is true of Zhou Fangyuan's uncle and second aunt, 10,000 per person, they all want to support the eldest sister's entrepreneurship, this intention is the most valuable.

On the contrary, it is on the side of grandpa's family, everyone knows that they are all kinds of exclamations and praises, but they are just words, and there is no real action.

Of course, saying so much, it doesn't mean that the relatives of the grandfather's family are not good, the family is the character of a family, you can't say that someone is bad because of different personalities, Zhou Fangyuan will never look at the relatives of his grandfather's family with colored glasses, in fact, some times, the relatives of the grandfather's family treat themselves well, and they can't be labeled "bad" because they don't take the initiative to help.

In short, this was the case with the relatives of his parents, and when everyone had arrived, the waiter brought hot water to everyone.

If you didn't eat breakfast, the freshly made burger was padded to your stomach, but everyone didn't eat it. On the contrary, it is children, such as Zhou Fanghui, as well as the son of his uncle's family, Zhou Fangyuan's cousin Wang Bin, the two little guys have long coveted hamburgers, fried chicken and fries, and the adults haven't said anything, the two little guys have already sat face to face with a big tray and eaten.

Zhou Fanghui is three years old, Wang Bin is five years old, the age of the two little guys is very close, so they get acquainted with each other very quickly, and Zhou Fangyuan will introduce them, and the two little guys will laugh and play in just three or four minutes.

The time soon came to seven o'clock in the morning, and there were obviously more pedestrians outside, looking at the time, it was time for the official opening.

Zhou's father and Zhou Fangyuan's second uncle, third uncle and uncle, several big men bought the firecrackers and big * hemp cannon (the single version of the two kicks) in the open space in front of the store, and when the hour hand fell steadily on the "7", the deafening sound of firecrackers roared on Daxi Street in the early morning.
