Chapter 3 People must have a sustenance
The good thing is that it is only 95 years ago, and the policy of expanding the enrollment of colleges and universities has not yet been implemented, and the annual tuition fee paid is not much. If she has to go to college two years later, the annual tuition fee will make her worry to death.
By March, the moth was eight months old, could kick two steps on the ground, and its calves were particularly energetic, and it was going out to play every day.
On this day, the sun happened to be out, the wind was beautiful, Chen Xin handed in the manuscript, and went downstairs to play with the moth and change clothes.
When I walked to the gate outside the family area, I saw the owner of the breakfast shop pasting red paper for subletting. When I asked, I found out that the boss was from Henan, and the old father of the family injured his waist when he was doing farm work, and he couldn't get up from the hospital at this time, so the two of them could only rush back to take care of the old man and clean up the house, so they planned to transfer the store out.
Chen Xin glanced at it, and an idea popped up in her heart.
She will make breakfast, the characteristics of various places in the southeast and northwest will be early, make steamed buns that make friends addicted, and also make Western-style fast breakfast, and can also use small stone mills to make soy milk tofu brains or something.
She wanted to transfer the shop to her hands and make a clean and hygienic fast food breakfast shop. All the ingredients and workmanship are done in the glass workshop in front, so that people look clean and rest assured, she sells a little more expensive, and she doesn't have to worry about bad business or too few customers.
The most important thing is that this family home is separated from the back gate of the University of Science and Technology by fifty or sixty meters, and many students will come out to buy breakfast in the morning. She didn't go up or down.
I talked to the boss about the transfer fee, and after some tug-of-war, I spent 3,000 yuan to transfer the shop. Of course, there were some things she didn't want, but the stove and the stove for steaming xiao long bao had to be kept. In addition, she asked the landlord if she could renovate it herself and sign a longer contract. She didn't want to be taken back by the boss just after she cleaned up some business.
Fortunately, at this time, people were relatively simple, and they signed a five-year contract directly. The rent is still raised every two years, but each time the increase cannot exceed 5% of the current rent.
After signing the contract and paying the deposit, she made an appointment with the owner of the early shop to deliver the house on the third day, and Chen Xin was about to start the matter of hiring people.
In fact, the object to be invited is Chen Xin's target for a long time, that is, the family of two who lives in the back building of the building.
The two of them also had a hard life, gave birth to two children, the eldest was sick at the age of ten and died, and the second was in a technical school, but when he went to the internship, he was hit by a car on the road and died. The middle-aged loss of a child has made these two people lose their head, and as a result, the factory's efficiency was not good last year, and they were laid off, and both of them were on the list.
Obviously only in his forties and less than fifty years old, his hair is gray and he has no energy, and he looks like he is about to die.
The reason why Chen Xin wanted to invite the two of them was that she heard that before they lost their son, the hostess's cooking skills were among the best in the family area.
She thought about inviting two people to help, but in fact, she was pulling them along. Isn't it because the two of them are so haggard because they have no head? But obviously they are not too old, and if they have a good body, it is not impossible to have another child, and it is really impossible to adopt one. You have to live a life, don't you?
Seeing Chen Xin holding the child and saying that she would ask the two of them to help open a morning shop, the woman was stunned.
Since the death of her son, people around her have said that their family feng shui is not good, the two of them are widows and lonely people, and no one comes to talk to her when they are free, and they are pointed and poked behind their backs when they go out to buy vegetables.
"You, you don't know about our family?"
"What's the matter? Is it the unfortunate departure of the eldest brother and the second brother? I know, but does this have anything to do with me asking my uncle and aunt to do things? If you want to say that it is unfortunate, my family is also unlucky. My parents died in an accident, it was my sister who raised me, but the good days were not long, my brother-in-law died when he was on a mission in the army, my sister couldn't stand the blow, plus dystocia, gave birth to a child and left, leaving me and Zhang Zhang to rely on each other. But what's the matter? Life always has to go on, and I can't necessarily just hug Zhang Zhang to die? It doesn't matter what others think, as long as I live well. ”
Chen Xin didn't say anything about letting them have another one or adopt one, mainly because they are not familiar with it now, so they can't talk about it.
The couple said that they thought about it, and after sending Chen Xin away, the couple mentioned for the first time their two sons who unfortunately died young. The pain is still painful, but it doesn't seem to be as unbearable as it seems.
"Lao Tie, I think we'd better go and help. Earning money is one thing, on the other hand, the two of us can't just live like this, and if our sons have spirits underground, I'm afraid they will have to worry about us. Song Xian wiped away her tears and made a decision.
Just like Chen Xin said, they are unlucky, but there are more unfortunate people in this world than them, are they all alive? Since they did not follow their son in pain at that time, then they should simply live well and see the world more for the two poor children.
"Lao Tie, isn't that child of your cousin's family remarried by his mother, and now lives alone in the countryside, why don't you go back and ask him, if you want, come to our house, if you want to study, if you want to learn a craft, we will raise it as our own child." ”
Tie Lei was a little hesitant, the children were already in their teens and couldn't support their families.
"It's not a cat or a dog, what is there if you can't raise a family, and we don't need him to provide for us. It's just that our old couple has no children and is a little colder, your eldest cousin was good to us and our son, but unfortunately I got sick and left, and my wife remarried and didn't want to take the oil bottle to understand, but the child is not yet an adult, and it is always difficult to live alone. So you go and ask, we don't want him to change his surname, and we don't want him to change his household registration, but just raise him to adulthood, and he can do whatever he wants in the future. ”
Tie Lei is a solid eye, the family listens to his wife, since his wife said that he will try, he thinks so much about it, and the children are not necessarily willing to do it.
The two of them are also neat, here Song Xian went to Chen Xin and said that she was willing to help, and she would start work when the shop was renovated early. On the other hand, Tie Lei took a shuttle bus back to his hometown in the countryside on the same day, found the village chief as an intermediary, and went to his cousin and nephew who dropped out of school and was at home to talk about it.
Tie Lei's cousin is older than him, but he got married late and gave birth to a baby late, so Tie Lei's sons are so old, and his son is only eleven years old.
Tie Lei was still a little entangled before, but after seeing his cousin, he immediately became firm. The main reason is that this cousin and nephew are too miserable, in such a cold weather, the sweater he wore was still left by his father, the coat was also torn and mended by himself, and there were no cotton shoes on his feet, so he wore a pair of liberation rubber shoes, not even socks.
On the way there, the village chief told Tie Lei about the child's situation. His mother remarried half a year after his father's death, and when he left, he took all the family's money with him, leaving only the things that could not be moved and the children's father's clothes. Because the child's grandparents are gone, and the conditions of other families in the village are not good, he can only occasionally help him.
"Wa'er also has an uncle, but that uncle has a bad relationship with his father, and he went to the south to work a few years ago, and he hasn't come back at all in the past two years. Murakami also went to look for him, and when he called, the other party only said that he couldn't support him and would never support him, so he hung up the phone and never answered again. Look at it, the baby had good grades, and now she can't study, so she goes to the field every day to plant something in exchange for money to eat, and she makes evil when she sees it. ”
In fact, they are not far from the city, but just like the rich city has poor corners, the location of Yangjia Village is located in a place of poor mountains and bad waters, and it is not a little worse than a few villages next to the city.
Although Nawa is poorly dressed, she cleans up relatively cleanly, and there are few things at home, which is also neat. Seeing that the village chief and his cousin were coming, he wanted to cook sugar water for them to eat.
When he heard that his cousin wanted to pick him up, the child was very entangled. He wanted to study, but he didn't want to be a burden himself. Even his own mother can give up on himself, and his uncle refuses to take care of himself, why should a distant cousin take care of himself?
Tie Lei glanced at the village chief, said that he didn't plan to go home tonight, asked the baby if he could take him in for one night, and said that when his father was there in the early years, he came back to live in their house, and pointed to the wall of the west wing and said that the second baby learned their yellow dog to pee on the wall or something.
Wa'er pursed her lips and smiled, hesitated for a moment, and agreed to Tie Lei to stay for one night.
That night, Tie Lei chatted with Wa'er for a long time, recalling the scene when he got along with Wa'er and his father, which made Wa'er cry for half a night, and finally agreed to go to live in the city with Tie Lei.
Before leaving, Tie Lei asked Wa'er to take him to his cousin's grave, told him about it, and also said his family's arrangements for Wa'er.
At that time, there were other villagers on the other side of the grave, and they also listened to it, and two old people also came over to say that Tie Lei had done a good job and was accumulating blessings.
also said that the baby is a good baby, smart and sensible, and as kind as his father. He also told the baby to let him go to his cousin's house to be diligent and help do something, not to be lazy.
"Older generations, I didn't take the baby to let him go to the house to help, he studied well, my wife and I plan to let him continue to study, as long as he reads, we will provide for him, and he will be productive in the future, and I am worthy of my cousin's kindness to the two of us back then. ”
After chattering for a while, Tie Lei took Yang Yi away. I didn't bring anything from the old house, only some things left by his father as a souvenir. Then the uneaten food and the chickens were also disposed of to the village chief's family. Because it does not involve the transfer of household registration, the procedures are also simple, and after going to the village committee to make a filing explanation, the two uncles and nephews will catch the afternoon shuttle back to the city.
When I got home, it was only five o'clock, and Song Xian was still cleaning up the house at home, and when she saw the skinny Yang Yi, she couldn't help but cry.
