Chapter VII

"Uncle Zhang, haven't you ever thought about why that woman wants to provoke the relationship between the two of you?"

"Why, isn't it because some people see that the Bun King is making money and want to set the secret recipe? In fact, what is the secret recipe, even if Cheng Jinyao only knew it after seeing the secret recipe, because the real material is the best secret recipe. I know he doesn't regret it, but after so many years, no one has pulled down his face... Alas, forget it ... Brother, I originally let go of my obsession, but today I went to see him, but I found... Alas...""

"Uncle Cheng... Going?"

"Hmm... I heard that he walked peacefully. I didn't even see him for the last time. was beaten out by Cheng Gang. ”

Zhen Sheng listened to Zhang Zhenzhong's past, and this old man's experience was really bumpy. was sentenced to "death" when he was a teenager, there was no man and half woman to take care of the aftermath, it was not easy to live so optimistically until now, Zhen Sheng admired Zhang Zhenzhong's courage, and was even more angry at the Cheng family's unloading and killing of donkeys. This is to attribute all the efforts of Zhang Zhenzhong when he was young to himself, and Zhang Zhenzhong has not become a pawn of his Cheng family? Now, the secret recipe has also been handed over to the Cheng family, and in addition to any benefits, he is still thinking about how to force this old man to continue to play his value. How could Zhen Sheng not be angry! His hands clenched with a straight click, and he felt injustice in his heart for what happened to this old man.

"Zhen Sheng, let's go. I'm going to sell this cottage for a few bucks. …”

Before Zhang Zhenzhong finished speaking, Zhen Sheng stopped him.

"Uncle Zhang, where are you going to live after you sell your house? You can't wander the world at such an old age! I'll help you figure out a way together, after all, we are also partners..."

"Zhen Sheng, I can't let you help me pay back this money, we are not related, no, absolutely not. ”

"Uncle Zhang, the day you took me in, weren't we not related?"

"It's different, I see you pitiful. I'd better sell this house. ”

"Okay, this house sells me for half, and as for the money... I'll give it to you slowly these months. ”

"Phew, stinky boy. Do you give it to you? You poor jingle and buy my house?"

"Uncle Zhang, don't bully the poor boy... Rest early. This house will be my home from now on. ”

Zhen Sheng prevaricated Zhang Zhenzhong with a smile, not waiting for him to speak. Zhen Sheng went back to his room, and listening to Zhang Zhenzhong talk about his past, it also reminded Zhen Sheng of his home. It's been a while since I've been away from home, I don't know how my father and mother are doing, whether my daughter-in-law and children are okay, and my younger brother is disobedient... Thinking of these close relatives, Zhen Sheng thought about selling some money tomorrow, so he would call home. Tell your parents about your current situation and reassure them. Thinking about it, Zhen Sheng fell asleep.

The next day, Zhen Sheng still got up early in the morning. This time, Zhen Sheng made two shapes of steamed buns, one round and one cut. After steaming, put it in the cardboard box of the tricycle. After selling these two boxes of steamed buns, I found a newsstand to call home. Let my mother make a small white quilt for herself, so that the steamed buns in the box are cooler and fuller. Thinking in his heart, Zhen Sheng rode a tricycle and disappeared into the dawn.

On the streets of Xingfu Road, the red slanting sun in the early morning hits the ground through the gap in the dense leaves, reflecting a perfect picture. The squeak of the tricycle that Zhen Sheng was riding was particularly harsh on the quiet street, but it was like an alarm clock to wake up everyone who needed to wake up early. There are more and more people, and Zhen Sheng has also begun to sell!

"Sell steamed buns! two for one dollar!"

Those who rose early and those who came by night flocked to those who saw that there was something to eat. This is too early, and most of the food has not yet been produced in the early lay. To be able to eat a bite so early is already very lucky for those people. When Zhen Sheng sells them from the end of the street to the street, going back and forth, there is very little left of the two boxes of steamed buns. Zhen Sheng has also calculated the cost, and the gross profit of these two boxes of steamed buns can earn more than 40 yuan. That's more than 1,000 yuan a month! And more than 1,000 yuan was really a lot at that time! If you sell at noon and night, it should be more...

Imagination is imagination after all, when Zhen Sheng passed by Xinglong Grains from the street and then back to the end of the street, he found that there was a big dustpan in front of the Xinglong Grains Store at some point, and the number of onlookers gradually increased. After a while, a man carrying a coarse cloth bag passed by, still babbling.

"This time, why is the steamed bun of Xinglong cereals not as big as before?"

Zhen Sheng was a little confused... What's going on? I've already sold it in the township... Who would rob their business in this place? Could it be the third uncle? Zhen Sheng walked towards Xinglong grains and squeezed in the crowd.

"Oops, steel eggs. Let's try how our steamed buns are better than the previous two days? By the way, yes, there are also your two dogs, except for the steamed buns to give rice to your father..."

The female voice that came from the crowd Zhen Sheng was very familiar, isn't this the third aunt who looked down on him? Zhen Sheng didn't get too far ahead, twenty stood behind three or five people, and saw the third aunt standing behind the dustpan and pulling everyone in the front row. The third aunt didn't sell less this time, on the contrary, the dustpan was much more than her two big boxes.

The third uncle walked out of the grocer shop with a gloomy face, he was holding an old mahogany abacus in his hand, the abacus was dark and shiny, and he looked like it had been some years. Chen Qiucheng looked at the third aunt, and the mahogany abacus in his hand fell to the ground fiercely, and in an instant, those dark abacus beads splashed everywhere, and he didn't know how far away. The people around the steamed buns were startled, Guo Shuzhen was also stunned, a few abacus beads smashed on her legs and rolled down at her feet, Guo Shuzhen didn't react for a while, and at this moment Chen Qiucheng's hysterical roar followed!

"Guo Shuzhen, this is the business you want?"

Guo Shuzhen's face was full of grievances, and she slowly turned her head, her eyes a little evasive. She didn't dare to face Chen Qiucheng, this was the first time that Chen Qiucheng had become so angry in more than 20 years of marriage, and Chen Qiucheng usually had to be submissive in front of her, giggling. In the eyes of outsiders, she is a strict wife, and this anger really scared her.

"Autumn Cheng... I... Something wrong with me..."

"Get out of the house for me!"

Chen Qiucheng walked up to Guo Shuzhen and kicked over the steamed bun stall in front of them. Chen Qiucheng pulled Guo Shuzhen's sleeve and walked into the house, and the few steamed buns that fell on the ground were coaxed away by a few beggars. Zhen Sheng didn't understand why the third uncle did this, the first time he saw the third uncle Chen Qiucheng making such a big fire, Zhen Sheng didn't understand why the third uncle did this. Zhen Sheng purchased some necessities, and then found a newsstand to call home.

Honk... Honk...

Zhen's mother's familiar voice came from the other end.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Mother, it's me. ”

"Sheng'er, what's the matter?

"Very good mother, don't worry, Chen Feng's third uncle and third aunt are also very good to me. I've found a job to do these days. You can earn forty or fifty a day, don't worry. Chen Feng and the children are all right?"

"Okay, white chubby grandson. You can rest assured when you are away from home. Chen Feng said that he would go to you after the full moon. ”

"Don't let her come yet, let's talk about stability. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to afford the extra expense..."

"Mother knows, mother knows..."

……

After a while, Zhen Sheng suddenly felt that it didn't matter if he was tired. hung up the phone, stepped on the three wheels and slowly sang 'Dongfang Hong' and went home.

……

"Guo Shuzhen, Guo Shuzhen, so old! Do you know a little bit of human flavor? You also rob your own children's business?"

"Autumn Cheng... I... I just want to earn a little more..."

Do you want people to poke us in the backbone and scold us? Do you know how difficult it is for children to get started? Have you forgotten when we first started?"

"I... I... Autumn Success... I..."

Guo Shuzhen was speechless for a moment, she didn't really understand in her heart, but she was afraid of living a hard life. When she and Chen Qiucheng first started doing business, no one was optimistic about them, and even she thought about backing down when she hit a wall, if it weren't for Chen Qiucheng's insistence, there would be no today. And now his niece asks him to take care of his son-in-law, and instead of really helping Zhen Sheng, he robs him of his job... She felt remorseful in her heart, but when she remembered those hard days, she felt that so what? No one is as rich as being rich, you have no money and no power in this society, what are you in the eyes of others?

"Qiucheng, I just want to lighten your burden. You're tired every day, and if I do something, you'll be more relaxed, and we can both earn more. Wouldn't it be more comfortable for the two of us to live in this way?"

"Stinky, you just think about yourself!

Chen Qiucheng sighed a long sigh, don't bully young people to be poor, there are talented people who are rich. Guo Shuzhen didn't understand why Chen Qiucheng's business could get bigger and bigger, and it wasn't that she didn't ask. Chen Qiucheng only said one sentence, good popularity, wide wealth, if you don't look for money, money will look for you. It's just that Chen Qiucheng doesn't know the future, and because of today's incident, he became a sales manager of a company... And business is even hotter than it is today.

Chen Qiucheng turned up the volume of the drama to the loudest, and he babbled and sang in the room. Guo Shuzhen's disgust with Zhen Sheng at this time suddenly increased, she felt extremely unbalanced in her heart, Guo Shuzhen shouted in her heart, why?

It was already noon when Zhen Sheng returned home, and Zhang Zhenzhong's snoring infected Zhen Sheng. He wanted to rest a little, his eyes couldn't help but intertwine the upper and lower doors, but he took advantage of his sleepiness to go to the kitchen to make today's second steamed bun...

After about three or two days, there were two more steamed bun shops on the road of happiness by chance, one walking through the streets and alleys, and the other at the door of Xinglong cereals. The third uncle never took care of it again from that day. But Zhang Zhenzhong was furious after coming back from a walk!

"Zhen Sheng, you come out for Lao Tzu!"

Zhen Sheng, who was taking a nap, was woken up by Zhang Zhenzhong, and looked at Zhang Zhenzhong with a stunned look when he was angry...

"What's wrong, Uncle Zhang?"

"Zhen Sheng, Lao Tzu asked you what Xinglong grains have to do with you?"

"Oh, Uncle Zhang. That's my daughter-in-law's third uncle and third aunt. ”

"Bullshit! I don't think they're any shit! Tiger poison doesn't eat children, what the hell are these two..."

Looking at Zhang Zhenzhong, who was extremely angry, Zhen Sheng didn't know how to comfort him. Zhen Sheng could only say with a smile.

"Uncle Zhang, who does it is not to do it. Fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, and it is always better for one's family to earn money than outsiders. ”

"Phew! This eats things inside and outside! I've seen a pit father, but I've never seen a pit child! No, Zhen Sheng, your idea, yes! I have a way! Zhen Sheng, hurry up and buy a bag of red beans for Lao Tzu and come back, and buy a bag of brown sugar by the way! Hurry up and go immediately!"

Zhen Sheng didn't know what Zhang Zhenzhong was going to do, but he didn't want to provoke him when he was so angry. had to be obediently recruited, he hurried out of the street and bought red beans and brown sugar. When he got home, Zhang Zhenzhong was waiting for him in the kitchen.

"Bring all the brown sugar and red beans to the kitchen, Uncle Zhang will leak a hand for you today!

I saw Zhang Zhenzhong wash the red beans and put them in the pot, then added a large bucket of water, and lit the firewood and kept burning... I added about half of the brown sugar to the beans, and kept boiling it on high heat, I don't know how long it took... The beans gradually turned into sand, and the water in the pot was gone. What you can see is the pot of red beans boiled into a sand and the rich aroma of red beans spreads throughout the kitchen. Zhen Sheng couldn't help but sniff a few more sips.

"Incense... It's so fragrant! Uncle Zhang: Is this red bean soup?"

"Shit! This is red bean paste! Where's your steamed bread noodles? Give me a few. ”

Zhen Sheng took a few pieces of steamed bread noodles and put them in front of Zhang Zhenzhong, only to see that when Zhang Zhenzhong came out, a large bowl of red bean paste was full... But the eyes were extraordinarily bright.
