Chapter 18 The second-rate son of an idler

Chen Chunhua's two younger brothers, Chen Huahan and Chen Huatang, are very happy that their sister is going to let their respective daughters Runrun and Lili work in the hotel, the family has a large population, and the food distributed by the team is always not enough to eat, so it is the best thing to be able to work in the restaurant, not to mention that after Chen Chunhua and Wang Xiulan discussed, the salary given is not low.

Chen Chunhua and Wang Xiulan discussed that Wang Xiulan's family will not participate in the operation of the store in the future, and will share 50% of the net profit. Usually the store is run by Chen Chunhua with Zhang Meng, Chen Run, Chen Li, the preliminary determination is that Chen Chunhua is 60 yuan per month, Zhang Meng and Chen Run are 27 yuan / month, which is also looking at today's opening results are tentative, and then adjusted according to the operation of the store, if the monthly net profit exceeds 300, the salary per person will rise by 10%.

In 80 years, this salary was already quite good. Chen Chunhua and Zhang Qingxiang work in the coal yard with a monthly salary of 40 yuan each, and Wang Xiujuan's salary in the textile factory is about the same. As for the rural areas, many peasants have worked hard for a year, and the annual work is only more than 100 yuan, and Zhang Meng and the other three small ones are given this salary, no wonder Chen Huahan and Chen Huatang's family are overjoyed.

Chen Chunhua and Wang Xiulan finished paying for today's dishes, and instructed their younger brothers and sisters-in-law to continue to prepare fresh vegetables tomorrow morning, and then rode their bicycles back to catch up, while Zhang Meng and Li Liang stayed here.

Early the next morning, Chen Chunhua bought meat and vegetables in the county seat and came to the store, and Zhang Meng and Li Liang had already led Chen Run and Chen Li to start the work in the store. Zhang Meng is teaching Chen Run and Chen Li to make rock sugar water, and yesterday the store gave free rock sugar water to the way to get unanimous praise from customers, such a way is not costly, but it can be recognized by the drivers in details.

A busy day has started again!

By noon, the news of the opening of a new restaurant here had spread in the team of left-behind drivers, driving many new drivers to come to the store for dinner. In addition, there are more drivers passing by, some of whom are refueling at the gas station opposite, and they notice the people eating here coming in and out, and they come spontaneously.

The two sisters, Chen Run and Chen Li, are very smart and quick to get started. In their flower-like figures, the business of the store is getting better and better, and all the ingredients that were prepared in the morning are used up by noon. However, although tired, but the turnover has doubled, yesterday at noon the turnover was 31 yuan 5 cents 3 cents plus 15 catties and 2 taels of food stamps, today noon turnover reached 65 yuan.

Chen Chunhua finished the account at noon, and her heart was happy, which means that as long as the evening meal business is also done well, the monthly turnover may reach more than 3,000 yuan, and the net profit is expected to reach 1,000 yuan. She has built a set of account books in the store, and the daily business situation is recorded clearly, so that it is convenient to check when sharing dividends with the Li family in the future.

Just when Chen Chunhua was settling accounts behind the counter, a man in his 50s came into the store, only to see that he was wearing a half-old blue homespun shirt, with two patches on his elbows, and an old army trouser pants on the lower half of his body, with his trouser legs rolled up, a pair of torn liberation shoes with exposed toes on his feet, a chicken nest hair, and a face with a Chinese character face.

"Chunhua, I heard that you opened a restaurant here, and your second uncle is here to cheer you on!" The man with a Chinese face spoke, although he had a Chinese face, and he spoke with a hippie smile.

Chen Chunhua raised her head, looked at the person who came, and recognized the person. This person is Chen Chunhua's uncle, named Chen Zhuguo, who is more than 10 years older than Chen Chunhua, and is an idler in her mother's village. It is said that in the early 50s, he participated in the famous war outside the Northeast, before joining the army, he was a good guy in the village, unfortunately he was captured in the war, and after returning to China after going through hardships and dangers, he was affected by the social atmosphere at that time, and was discriminated against by society for most of his life, and even did not marry a wife, and returned to the village to work, and the same strong laborer as him could get 10 points of work a day, and the village only recorded 7 for him; His parents could not hold their heads up in the village because of his capture, and there was no girl willing to marry their son, so they died of depression in the previous years, and after the death of his parents, a brother in the family also broke off contact with him. Gradually, a good guy slowly transformed into an idle rural second-rate child.

Li Liang and Zhang Meng also knew this person, and in Li Liang's heart, he actually sympathized with this old soldier named Chen Zhuguo. In traditional Chinese culture, there has always been a strong emphasis on sacrificing oneself to serve the country. At the beginning, many hot-blooded young people like Chen Baoguo walked to the battlefield with big red flowers, shouldering the hopes of their relatives and the motherland, and stepping on the gongs and drums of farewell, but now they are carrying heavy burdens and walking home alone, and their heavy feelings are indescribable. Some were expelled from the party~membership~military~ after returning to China, and some had difficulty returning home.

Li Liang remembered that he had read a record on the Internet in later generations, and after reading it, people had mixed feelings, and his heart couldn't be calm for a long time.

Li Zhenghua, the instructor of the 583rd Regiment from Sichuan, returned home before going abroad to participate in the war, and was pinned on by the people in his hometown, but because he was captured and expelled from the army~ membership, he really couldn't face the villagers. When the train arrived in Shudu, he disappeared without saying goodbye to his fellow victims, and has not been heard from since.

Nanyang Zhen, a company cadre, took the train back to his hometown of Luoyang, and when he arrived at the terminal, he actually cried. His pain resonated with his comrades-in-arms who returned to their hometowns together, and several people shed tears. He carried a blanket on his back and came to the county's "Conversion Office", the office staff read his letter of introduction and documents, and read his conclusions, and when they saw "on the battlefield, leaning right to save their lives, surrendering their guns and being captured", they asked him: "Have you been captured on the battlefield?" He nodded, and the staff asked: "Which village are you from?" Nanyang Zhen was afraid of defiling the whole village, and he didn't explain it for a long time.

The next day, he walked listlessly to his village with a blanket on his back, 40 miles, and walked for a whole day. When they arrived at home, the family was overjoyed and surprised. I was glad that he came back from the battlefield, but I was surprised that he was in a trance and did not wear a military uniform. The cousin asked a little uneasily: "You have been a soldier for seven or eight years, and you are also a cadre, right?" Nanyang Zhen whispered: "It's a cadre." The cousin said: "In our family, with a party member and cadre like you, everyone has a bright face." Nanyang Zhen saw that she couldn't say no, lowered her head and said: "Cousin, I won't tell you, I was captured on the battlefield, and my party ~ membership has been expelled, and I am no longer a cadre." When my cousin heard this, he became angry and asked, "Why were you captured?"
