On the fourth day of the first lunar month,

Welcoming the god of the stove,

Pick up five ways.

Li Yang was thinking about the renovation of the newly rented house on the corner of the old West Gate all night last night, and he finally fell asleep and the artillery battle outside exploded loudly within a few hours, and he had to get up in a daze.

When I went downstairs, I saw that the lights in the room were on, and Liu Yucheng was wearing an apron and a plastic bag on his head to clean up.

"Brother Yucheng, what are you doing?"

"Today, I will sweep the house, and my brother-in-law will keep breakfast for you. ”

Only then did Li Yang remember what day it was.

According to the customs in the countryside, on the fourth day of the first lunar month, there is a saying that "send the god early, receive the god late", get up early in the morning to pick up the god of wealth, dust the house, and sweep the floor in the house.

Although Li Yang doesn't believe in this, who doesn't like the God of Wealth, he can't get along with money.

Hurriedly picked up a bowl of sweet potato porridge.

Just a few days after the first day of the new year, the hotel has not yet opened, but Lao Yu is not idle, and Liu Yumei is now waiting to give birth.

Fortunately, Yu Xinyao is also a very quick little girl, and she is busy inside and outside the house without stopping.

Li Yang couldn't be lazy, after breakfast, he and Liu Yucheng worked together to clean up the house inside and out, and after a year, it was deserted for more than half a month, and dust would inevitably accumulate in the corner.

As soon as he put down the broom in his hand, his son Li Xiangyang called to say about welcoming the God of Wealth.

Li Yang doesn't remember the custom of burning incense and worshipping God very clearly, but fortunately, Lao Yu next door has a lot of tricks, and Li Yang can be regarded as serving the gods of wealth from all walks of life.

I don't expect the God of Wealth to give him a rain of money, but to go in and out to ensure wealth.

After finishing the work in hand, he accompanied Lao Yu to send something to the county people's hospital.

It's almost March.

Liu Yumei's delivery period is also approaching, she was found out in early October last year, which is almost more than 9 months, these days except for spending Chinese New Year's Eve at home and the first day of the new year has been living in the hospital, if it is a smooth delivery, the time should be about the same.

When he came back from the hospital, Li Yang thought about calling Li Fenghe to talk about signing the contract.

It was Gao Feihu who answered the phone.

"Brother Yang, my aunt got up early in the morning and went back to the provincial capital, and it is estimated that she is still halfway through at this time. ”

Li Yang was a little confused.

Tian Fang's side has no contact information yet, which is really unfortunate.

Originally, he made an appointment with Tian Fang to sign a contract on the fifth day of the first lunar month, but since Li Fenghe has returned to the provincial capital, he will definitely have to make an appointment by himself tomorrow.

But yesterday he was in a hurry, and he didn't leave Tian Fang's number, Li Yang thought about it and didn't chat with Gao Feihu, just said hello and let him have time to come to Lao Yu's side for a meal and hung up the phone.

There are still some things to deal with in the computer room.

Although he is about to open an Internet café, Li Yang has no intention of completely leaving the game hall that brought him the first pot of gold.

In the first few years from '99 to the beginning of the new century, arcade games began to decline with the emergence of Internet cafes on a large scale.

But in recent years, the game hall has still been a very lucrative business, but fortunately, with Liu Yucheng's help, he doesn't have to stay in the computer room all the time.

At the end of last year, Li Yang had already told Liu Yu about the things that should be explained.

In the next period of time, you must worry about the Internet café, after all, time waits for no one, as soon as the first month passes, it will be March of the solar calendar, and the primary and secondary schools in the county should also open.

Although the opening of an Internet café in 99 is a new and fashionable picture, the people who play games online are basically idle young people and students who skip school in school.

Since he wants to make money, Li Yang naturally doesn't have any guilt for poisoning the younger generation.

in other words

As a product of the times, whether it is the Internet café that has promoted the rapid development of the Internet and the rapid expansion of the number of Internet users, or the rapid development of the Internet that has given rise to the development and rise of the Internet café, I am afraid that it will be difficult for future generations to explain.

Whether it is a game hall or an Internet café, in fact, it is a product of the times that has been misinterpreted too much in China, and it is far from being able to bear the heavy historical responsibility of destroying one or two generations.

And in the torrent of history rolling forward, Li Yang is not even a wave.

For him, opening an Internet café is just a means of earning a living.

At least for now, he can't talk about making good use of the double-edged sword of Internet cafes and the Internet, and it may take three or five years for him to be able to look up to such an unattainable height.

Early in the morning on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

Li Yang dialed the number he asked for from Li Fenghe, made an appointment with Tian Fang to meet, and went out in a hurry.

It was still quite cold outside in February, but fortunately, after several days of rainy weather, the sun was on outside, and the ice bumps on the eaves began to thaw, and the water dripped.

After signing the contract today, he must pay part of the rent, Li Yang brought a paper bag, and when he arrived at the corner of the old West Gate, Tian Fang was already waiting there with a girl of about twenty, and when he saw Li Yang coming over, he smiled and said hello and entered the house.

"Li Yang, this is my daughter, Hong Tao. ”

Li Yang smiled and nodded.

It's an interesting name, after all, it's rare for a girl to be called such a masculine name.

However, Hong Tao looks a little shy and not tall, so he should follow Tian Fang.

The contract was typed out by Tian Fang overnight, in duplicate, the content Li Yang had communicated with her on the phone before, and I watched it again on the spot, basically there was no problem, Ma Yu signed the contract and paid a deposit of 1,000 yuan, and got the right to use the key house for the next three years.

Li Yang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, but fortunately, this first step is finally taken out, and what happens next depends on how much the God of Wealth who welcomed back yesterday takes care of it.

"Aunt Tian, when I go back, I'm going to find a few people to clean up the house, and you can give me an accurate word on what to do with these things inside. ”

The previous tenant was in the furniture business, and Li Yang took a look at the things piled up in the house, and some of the furniture could still be used after picking it up.

But after all, it's not his own business, and Tian Fang doesn't want to move easily if he doesn't speak.

"You can watch and dispose of it yourself, everything is thrown away by people, and I can't use it myself, if it really doesn't work, you can dispose of it as garbage." ”

Tian Fang accepted the deposit, and there was such a relationship with Li Fenghe, and it could be seen that Li Yang was not the kind of exaggerated personality after contact, her impression was not bad, so she simply didn't want to trouble him.

With a look of wanting to speak and stopping on his face, Li Yang looked at his heart and asked: "Aunt Tian, if there is anything, you don't have to be polite to me, I have to invite you to a meal when I have time back, this time it can be regarded as a great favor for me." ”

Being able to rent such a house along the street, Li Yang is indeed a favor, although this house must be rented out, but who to rent it to is not rent, it makes no sense to rent it to him.

If you really want to meet the kind of landlord who likes to make things difficult, Li Yang has to endure it, and it is luck to meet Tian Fang, who is so easy to talk to.

"It's not a big deal, I heard Li Fenghe say that you rented a house to open an Internet café, I thought if you could recruit people here, if you recruit people, you can see if there is anything suitable for my daughter Hong Tao to do, if you look back, I will charge you less rent. ”

Li Yang was immediately happy when he heard that this was the case, which is really a good thing.

Originally, he thought that when the Internet café opened, he would definitely recruit people to help him, and Liu Yucheng would take care of the game hall over there, and the Internet café would definitely be inseparable.

At this time, Tian Fang asked about this, and it was a little sleepy to send a pillow.

However, Li Yang still pretended to think about it before laughing:

"This is no problem, Aunt Tian, if you want to say that you will charge me less rent, it will be polite, so let's go back and wait for the Internet café to open, I will arrange it, and you will use the computer, right?"

As he spoke, Li Yang glanced at Hong Tao.

"Will use a little bit. ”

"That's it, then I'll contact you after I'm finished decorating it in a few days, and you can leave a contact information for me." ”

(Today's Lao Bai's birthday is now a three-word head, the family made do with a meal and drank some wine, and the head is still a little dizzy at this time, and tonight is the same.) ）
