Find something to do for your parents so they don't have to be bored and don't like it, and the main reason why they don't like the city is that they don't have anything to do and no friends to talk to.

If you let your parents go to the vegetable market to sell vegetables, then all the problems are solved, and the only thing you have to worry about is that you are afraid of tiring them, so Chen Shi must think about it carefully.

The next day, Chen Shi went to the station to pick up his parents, the second elder arrived at about seven or eight o'clock in the evening, all the way, the mother who was not used to riding the car had a very bad face, so pale that there was no blood at all, Chen Shi did not mention the things he had thought about before, only when they rested first.

The mother nagged and said, "It's really a sin to ride in the car, and next time I won't take a long bus again." ”

The father laughed on the side: "It's good to get used to it, but you may not have a chance to sit in the future, so you should stay at home with peace of mind!"

In the nagging of the parents, they soon arrived home, and the sister had already prepared dinner and waited for the parents, but they did not have any appetite, and the mother even felt a stomachache.

Chen Shi said: "Let's go to the hospital and prescribe some medicine to eat." ”

My father said the same, but my mother objected, "What kind of medicine do you take? ”

Vertical chopsticks are made of three wooden chopsticks or bamboo chopsticks, vertical in the middle of the bowl, the bowl is filled with shallow water, while reading the name of the deceased loved one while dipping the water from the bowl on the chopsticks, when the name of a relative is pronounced after the three chopsticks are erected, it means that it is in the other world to say that you are talking, usually when you feel a headache will do so.

This kind of superstitious practice is very popular in the countryside, and it is common in many places. The idea is that the physical pain is due to the fact that a deceased relative is missing you, so quickly put up chopsticks to communicate with the relative, so that he will not be pestering you, and minor problems such as headaches or stomach aches will naturally get better.

This is superstition, but it is precisely because it is superstition that so many rural elderly people believe it.

Headache or stomach ache and other minor illnesses will naturally get better without treatment, erecting chopsticks is just a kind of spiritual comfort, because the rural medical conditions are too poor, if a headache has to go to the hospital, it is unbearable for rural families.

Chen Shi was helpless, and wanted to tell his mother that this was superstition, but he knew that it didn't make sense, he had tried it, and was reprimanded by his mother, since then, he only had to be a bystander to his mother's superstition, even if he didn't believe it, but there was no need to debunk his mother's superstition, this may be the belief of an old man in a rural area, right?

As soon as the mother spoke, the father picked up a bowl, filled it with water, and then found three chopsticks, and went to the door to erect it, of course, if it was erected like this, of course, it would not stand firmly, therefore, the father had to say the name of the deceased relative, while using the water in the bowl to wet the chopsticks, after the chopsticks were dipped in water, the tension of the water made the three chopsticks naturally "glue" together, and then the chopsticks head became a flat surface, as long as the hand was gently released, the chopsticks could naturally stand firmly.

Seeing that his parents were superstitious about this thing, Chen Shi wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so he could only endure it, but his mother's stomach pain made him worried, so he rummaged through the cabinets and found some medicine, and his mother would not stop taking it if he had medicine.

After taking the medicine, only half an hour, my mother felt better, this is the stomach discomfort caused by the car, I have no appetite for eating, and I must rest well to recover. However, my mother doesn't think it's the effect of medicine, she always thinks that it's my father's chopsticks that will get better so quickly, and Chen Shi won't debunk it, anyway, as long as his mother is healthy, whether he is superstitious or not, this superstition doesn't matter if it doesn't hurt people, it doesn't matter if it's a blessing ritual.

After his mother recovered, Chen Shi told them to find something to do for them, and when her mother heard it, of course she was happy, it was boring enough in the house, and if she could find something to do, she would naturally be very happy.

Chen Shi asked his parents, "What are you going to do?"

The father said, "What can we do? In this city, there is no place to plant if we want to, so why don't we sell a few pigs to raise?"

When Chen Shi heard this, he immediately retorted: "No, what is it to raise pigs here? We are not afraid of smell, but people in the vicinity will definitely complain when they smell it, and the impact is not good." ”

Now, there is a dog in the house, leashed outside, if you don't clean up its feces in time, it won't take a day, the smell will not be smelly, and you can feel the stench from a distance of more than ten meters.

Chen Shi didn't want to live in the stench.

My mother asked, "I don't think there's any work we can do in this big city." ”

Chen Shi said: "How about you go to sell vegetables? I'll find you a vegetable market, and then buy some goods, and go to sell vegetables every day, the vegetable market is lively, and you don't have to feel so bored." ”

When the parents heard this, they were immediately surprised, and immediately agreed, and urged Chen Shi to hurry up. Chen Shi smiled and agreed, and then drove to the nearby vegetable market to see if there was anything to rent.

After coming to the vegetable market, he went from beginning to end, but he didn't see any information about renting or selling, so he asked a nearby aunt for news.

The aunt smiled and introduced, "Do you want to get a stall?"

Chen Shi said: "You can do anything, the main thing is that my parents can't be idle, so find something to do for them, to be smaller, to sell less things, so that they will not be too busy, and they will not be tired because of business." ”

Auntie said: "I'll help you ask, the old Wang next door to me may not want to do it, but I don't know too well, if it doesn't work, don't blame me?"

Chen Shidao: "What are you talking about? If you don't succeed, it's too late for me to thank you for your help, how can I blame you?"

The aunt walked next door with a smile, and then shouted in a loud voice: "Lao Wang, there is business coming to the door." ”

Lao Wang came out of a narrow room in a daze, he was selling braised pork, a small stall, watching alone, he usually likes to drink a little wine when there is no business, therefore, he looks drunk.

Lao Wang looked around and found that there were no people who bought anything, so he was dissatisfied and said, "What are you yelling at? Isn't this no one?"

The aunt said: "This young man wants to buy your storefront, do you still want to do it? If you don't want to do it, you can sell it to him." ”

When Lao Wang heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, looked at Chen Shi and said, "You want to buy my façade, what kind of business are you going to do?"

Chen Shi explained: "I don't know, my parents can't be idle, so I want to find a small store for them, and you can buy anything." ”

Lao Wang called Chen Shi to come in and say carefully, and the aunt who introduced Chen Shi went to be busy, and Chen Shi thanked the aunt before following Lao Wang in.

This room was very narrow, and the two of them had no place to stay, so Chen Shi had to stand by the door and ask, "Uncle, how much does your shop cost?"

Lao Wang said: "It's okay to sell it to you, but I have one condition." ”

Chen Shi said: "Please speak." ”

Lao Wang said: "This shop can only sell braised pork, otherwise I think I can't find a place to eat some braised pork." ”

Chen Shi laughed, Lao Wang actually mentioned such a condition in order to buy braised meat here later, it seems that Lao Wang must be a greedy person, otherwise why put forward such a strange condition?

Chen Shi has no objection to this, it doesn't matter what you sell, the important thing is to have something for your parents to do, so that they don't be too lonely to be idle.

He said: "I promise you, no matter what, my parents don't know how to make braised pork, why don't you teach them? I'll pay you, you can help here, give you 15 to 2,000 a month, how about it?"

If Lao Wang can stay, one is to give his parents a helper, and the other is that Lao Wang is familiar with it, so his parents can open a business as soon as they come, and there is no need to make other preparations.

Lao Wang said: "I like to drink, sometimes I drink and make mistakes, so I don't want to do it, I want to go back to my hometown, if you are not afraid of me drinking and making mistakes, I can stay and help." ”

Chen Shi was overjoyed and promised: "Don't worry, you will not be forbidden to drink, you just need to help my parents and the two of them get everything done, I won't care about other things, give you a salary every month, and then you promise to teach them to make braised pork, when they have something, you look at this shop, how about it?"

Lao Wang readily agreed, and then negotiated all the conditions with Chen Shi, and all of Lao Wang's shops were sold to Chen Shi, including himself. After Chen Shi got it, he called his parents and explained the conditions clearly by the way.

The two parents couldn't wait, so they came to see the shop in the afternoon, and then began to clean up everywhere, as if they had endless strength and energy.

Chen Shi saw the happy work of his parents, and he was also gratified, as long as his parents could be happy and healthy, he could do anything.

After the parents led Lao Wang to clean up the originally small and dark shop, it became a lot brighter, and then Chen Shi bought them work clothes, which was more pleasing to the eye and looked more hygienic, which was very conspicuous in the entire vegetable market.

The vegetable market is generally very dirty and messy, and the conditions are poor, but the small shop of Chen Shi's parents is listed, because this is selling braised meat, there is not so much garbage, it is easier to sort out, plus a uniform work clothes, of course, it is much more pleasing to the eye.

The parents also chatted with Lao Wang, because they were both people of little age difference, but Lao Wang's love of drinking made his parents very unhappy, but Chen Shi had already agreed, and they had no choice, so they finally admitted it.
