After speaking, Yingzi's mother ate silently, Yingzi stood up and poured a cup of hot water for her mother and put it on the cabinet.

Master Zhai sat down on the small bench next to the bed and looked at the ground, and the ward fell silent for a while.

The patient in the adjacent bed may have been uncomfortable by this quietness, coughed and said with a smile: "Yingzi's father's rice is so fragrant, I smell it and am hungry, what is this?"

Yingzi's mother smiled and said: "What else can I get, just stewed sauerkraut, there is no food at home, we can eat green vegetables." ”

The next bed was an old lady, full of white hair, a little fat, gently tapping her leg with her fist through the quilt, nodded and said, "Yes, I can't afford to eat it, that pound of beans costs four yuan, and it will cost dozens of dollars to get a meal." Now, everything is expensive, everything is rising, and there is no movement in wages. ”

Master Zhai looked up on the side and asked Xiaowei, "Where is your hotel?"

Xiaowei said: "As far as the farmers' market is concerned, it turns out that Jian'an Company opened that Jubin Pavilion, not far away. ”

Master Zhai was stunned for a moment and said, "Jubin Pavilion, how long did you contract?"

Xiaowei said: "Nine years after the contract was signed, do you know that place?"

Master Zhai said with a smile: "Everyone who does this business knows that piece, when it first opened, it was quite big, and the original chef there was my brother, and now he has gone to Jinzhou, and the whole family has moved over." He turned his head and asked Yingzi's mother, "Why don't I go and have a look now?"

Yingzi's mother was a little happy, nodded and said, "Go, I'm fine, Yingzi and your father will go together." ”

Master Zhai said: "Yingzi stay here, how cold it is, it will be windy, and it will go down again." ”

Yingzi stood up and put on his hat and said, "It's okay, I'm not afraid, let's go, I'll help you investigate, Mom, put it there after you finish eating, you drink some hot water and pour it, I'll clean it up later." ”

Yingzi's mother said: "It's like I can't move, I'm going to be fine, go quickly, slow down on the road, and watch the car." ”

Five people walked out of the ward and downstairs and out of the hospital.

Sure enough, it was snowing outside, and the snowflakes were so big that they were scattered all over the sky and the earth.

When it snows, the wind is not strong, and it is not as cold as usual.

Master Zhai was about to push his bicycle, and Xia Maosheng said, "Brother Zhai, let's take the car." ”

Master Zhai said, "You take the car, I ride over one by one, I know the place." ”

Yingzi said, "Dad, can you do it? Can't you walk with these people? It's snowing now, and if you fall again, I'll wait for you two in the hospital then." ”

Master Zhai put the car back up, walked over with gloves and said, "Say anything, say everything a day." Let's go, together. ”

Yingzi stretched out his hand and grabbed Master Zhai's arm and said, "That's right, I have long said don't ride a bicycle in winter, the road is so slippery, and the snow is so thick on our side, what if you fall? Think about it, you take the car back and forth for two dollars a day, and it's only 60 a month, how much are you going to fall?

Xiaowei said: "It's okay, wait for your dad to work over there in the future, and we will be reimbursed for the round-trip car money." Riding a bicycle in winter is indeed dangerous, Master Zhai, you have to listen to Yingzi in this matter. ”

Yingzi laughed and said, "Look, pick up another 60 yuan." Several people laughed.

After waiting at the entrance of the hospital for a while, the five of them got in the car and walked to the farmer's market, and there were more people in the city, crowding all the way to the place.

The car stopped at the intersection of the main road, and the five people got out of the car and walked inside, and it was not far, two hundred meters.

From afar, I saw that there were still a few people working on the roof of the hotel under the heavy snow, and it was the carpenter who was installing the gazebo, which was an all-wood structure, and the components were made on the outside to install, and the paint was good.

Master Zhai glanced at it and said, "Is this to install that pavilion again?"

Xia Maosheng said: "Well, if it's not space, you can still go up and sit in such a summer, and wait for the summer to get some flowers or something, how beautiful it is." ”

The door of the hotel was not locked, Sister Zhang and the others didn't go home, they came back here when they came out of the bone hall, at this time Sister Shang was chopping meat with Li Bing, Xie Na was making a face, Li Gengsheng was writing something on the table on the side, and Li Wen was sitting on the stool in a daze.

There was no heating in the restaurant, the stove was not rising, it was a little cold, and the little girl was curled up on the stool.

Entering the door, Xiaowei glanced at it and asked, "Where are Sister Zhang and Liu Hongliang?"

Li Wen turned her head to look over and said, "Sister Zhang is behind the kitchen, the boiler heater is here, and Sister Zhang is watching them work." Brother Liu was smashing coal, and Sister Zhang said to raise the stove. ”

Xiaowei walked over and glanced at the meat that Sister Shang and Li Bing had chopped and asked, "Who took the money?"

Sister Shang picked at Li Gengsheng with her chin.

Xiaowei walked up to Li Gengsheng, who was keeping accounts, and he wrote the same carefully.

Xiaowei said, "How much did you spend today?"

Li Gengsheng raised his head and said, "One hundred and forty-three yuan and eight cents and five, I didn't give the five cents, and it cost one hundred and forty-three yuan eight." ”

Xiaowei took out five hundred yuan from his arms and threw it on the table and said, "You take it first, and then you don't care about me when you spend it." Li Gengsheng agreed, put the money away, and continued to write accounts.

Xiao Wei said to Master Zhai who was following behind: "This was just the beginning, there was nothing, and I only took it over today." It turns out that there is no heating in this house, and the boiler is being installed in the back at this time, so we will burn it ourselves in the future. ”

Master Zhai said: "Well, in the past, the bad business here also had something to do with the cold in the house, and I don't know what I thought at the beginning, such a big building is not equipped with heating, who will come to eat in winter, and it will not work if you come and go." ”

Sister Shang heard the sound of talking behind her, turned her head to look over, and shouted, "Master Zhai, are you here?"

Master Zhai looked over, nodded with a smile and said, "Are you working here?" Well, they went to look for me at home today, and I came over to take a look, this is still undecided." ”

Xiao Wei said to Xia Maosheng: "You accompany Master Zhai around, and I'll go up and take a look." ”

Behind, Sister Zhang stood on the coal pile, a light truck parked at the back door, things had been unloaded, there were some six points on the car, and there was a set of wire pliers on the ground at the rear of the car.

The kitchen over there is noisy, clanging, and a boiler is being installed, this small boiler is installed very quickly, there is not much water pressure, and the hot water is pumped up.

Liu Hongliang squatted under the coal pile, holding an axe, smashing the coal block, already smashing a small pile, and said: "Sister Zhang, is it enough?

Sister Zhang looked at the other side and didn't bow down and said, "It's not enough, smash it, it's too much." ”

Xiaowei walked over to the door and looked inside, and the worker was making screws. The boiler was installed in the corner of the wall, and two people were holding a ruler to arrange the pipes.

The kitchen here and the other side are big, but there are only two stoves that have been repaired, and there is still a lot of space inside.
