Rural people, perhaps only these few days of the New Year are the least saving, or they want to experience everything that they have not eaten or drunk in a year, and who have not worn or used it.

Therefore, since the twentieth day of the lunar month, countless unfamiliar faces have come to eat at Ma's small kitchen for the first time every day, including many outsiders who work outside.

The Ma family's small chef is now famous, as if it has become the No.1 in the meadow food industry, whether it is a foreigner passing by, or a wanderer working outside, as long as you ask others locally, which restaurant is delicious? These people will all point to her shop.

"It must be the Ma family's kitchen, which only sells cold porridge and shredded potatoes with flames, which are not bought outside, but the queue is a bit difficult. ”

No, it's the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month today, and the door of Ma Tianyao's store is still drained, and many people are standing in the line with great interest with large bags and small bags in their hands.

Ma Tianyao was busy in the hotel, when she suddenly heard someone arguing outside, and after listening to it for a few minutes, she felt that something was wrong, so she stopped what she was doing and stood at the door and looked out.

At this time, I saw that Sister-in-law Liu, who was usually responsible for cleaning her door, and a young couple in the team who were eating sugarcane were arguing.

"What's wrong with me spitting out sugar cane skins? Am I helping you, think for yourself, if no one throws away the garbage, won't you lose your job?"

The young man also seemed to have come back from working in other places, and he also had a handful of green hair dyed on his head, as if he was showing off that he had a girlfriend, which made Ma Tianyao particularly unhappy.

Ma Tianyao smiled and spoke.

"Ahem, boy, you're not right, if you want to say that throwing garbage is to help the cleaners not lose their jobs, then you can also help the boiler room of the crematorium, I heard that they are also about to lose their jobs......"

As soon as Ma Tianyao spoke, the crowd in line all laughed, and the young man's face was blue and white for a while, as if he wanted to refute this sentence, but this sentence was incomprehensible, and he was embarrassed, so he heard Ma Tianyao continue to laugh.

"Okay, don't stand in line, you can't eat if you get in line. ”

"Why, who is in the way of me spending money on food? Besides, you don't care about me where you came out?"

"I'm the owner and chef here. ”

"You ......"

The young man almost bit his tongue, and wanted to distinguish a few words, but was taken away by his girlfriend, and the crowd returned to normal order, Ma Tianyao was about to enter the door, and when he saw that there was a queue in the line, he turned around again.

Thank you for taking care of our business, everybody, but ...... Please line up in order, and keep the floor clean and hygienic......"

In the past two days, the cleaner's biggest headache is the hygiene at the door of the Ma family's kitchen, these people in line are bored, so they will eat melon seeds or other snacks when queuing, and the garbage will be thrown on the ground after eating, so the cleaner in charge of this street has become the queen of the Ma family's kitchen.

On the evening of the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, Ma Tianyao and Shi Xiaoxiao were busy until half past eight in the evening before sending off the last batch of guests, and both of them were almost tired and vomiting blood.

Back in the living room, turned on the TV and paralyzed Ge You directly, Ma Tianyao opened a beer and took a sip, stretched comfortably and asked.

"By the way, it's twenty-six, why don't you go home?"

Shi Xiaoxiao pouted, his face a little melancholy.

"Well, let's go back at thirty......"

"Your grandfather's anger hasn't subsided yet?"

Ma Tianyao asked, Shi Xiaoxiao shook his head and sighed.

"Alas...... I don't know if my grandfather's anger has disappeared, I just know that my father's leg is not good, and the worst thing is that my mother's leg is better......"

"Tut-tut, your father's current situation is very dangerous, it used to be two to one, but now your mother's leg is healed, and it has become two to zero-five...... I personally recommend...... You'd better go back a few days later......"

Shi Xiaoxiao nodded.

"yes, the main thing is...... I want to bring the second dog back for the New Year, but my grandfather is crazy when he sees the dog now, and a few days ago I heard that the last dog in the village was just hacked to death, and I know the word "chicken and dog......

Shi Xiaoxiao sighed again, turned his head and asked Ma Tianyao.

"By the way, when are you going back? It's just three days before the New Year, you don't seem to be prepared for anything, right?"

Ma Tianyao smiled bitterly.

"I'm going to feed the whole family and I'm not hungry, what do I have to prepare?Okay, don't worry about me, or worry about yourself......

After Ma Tianrou went to Beijing, she called her sister once in the middle, the little girl's mind was not open, and she just said that everything was fine, and the conditions in Shangjing were much better than those of the Martial Arts Academy.

It's just that she said that she was going to train for the New Year, and she couldn't come back, so let my sister not think about her. This phone is only a single line, and Ma Tianyao called again, and it has already prompted that there is no such number.

In the dark, Ma Tianyao couldn't sleep in the room, staring at the black rumbling ceiling in a daze with her eyes open, she was thinking, what is the meaning of her life?

Her parents are gone, and she used to live to support her sister as an adult, but now that her sister has also gone to Beijing, she seems to have lost the meaning of life all of a sudden, and has fallen into a boundless daze.

Just like that, I don't know when I fell asleep.

At noon on the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, Shi Xiaoxiao still went home, and the old man personally called, although the old man agreed that Shi Xiaoxiao could take the second dog back, but Shi Xiaoxiao analyzed, this is definitely a trap for the grandfather to take revenge, and after thinking twice, he decided to leave the second dog in the store and hand it over to Ma Tianyao to take care of.

Before leaving, Ma Tianyao gave her a big red envelope, Shi Xiaoxiao looked at the amount of money inside, and pounced on it and wanted to sacrifice herself on the spot, if Ma Tianyao hadn't turned her to the ground, she would have been innocent for the past 18 years.

As soon as Shi Xiaoxiao left, Ma Tianyao's pressure in the store doubled, she had to stir-fry and take care of customers, she had to clean up the cashier, and she had to serve the second dog and the little chicken after closing at night.

No, it can't be called a chick now, Shi Xiaoxiao vacated the storage room, and specially let these chickens who have obviously gained weight several times stay in it......

"Well, it looks like we're going to have to hire some......"

After sighing, she remembered that since the opening of her restaurant, it seems that she has never rested, and she is busy from morning to evening every day.

On the twenty-eighth of the lunar month, Ma Tianyao posted a notice that the hotel began to close.

Then she went out to buy a lot of snacks and daily necessities, these things, she had to carry them until after the seventh day of the new year, because most of the shops here are closed at thirty, and they will not open again until the seventh day of the new year, and if they don't prepare in advance, the chance of starving to death will increase infinitely.

In the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, she got up early, changed her clothes, carried paper money up the mountain, and after worshipping her parents, she returned to the store and began to get busy.

Cleaning, pasting couplets, preparing dinner......

She still remembers that every time she celebrates the New Year, her sister likes to eat her boiled tea eggs, drinking the drinks from Shi Xiaoxiao's family, and the sisters eat tea eggs, as if it is the most enjoyable day of the year.
