"Here, cheers! I wish our restaurant a prosperous business!"

"Business is good at noon today, if the business can be maintained like this in the future, then Auntie and Brother Meng may not be busy!" Li Liang said.

Wang Xiujuan also took over: "Yes, I'm also worried about this!"

"Chen Ze, Taotao, what are your sister Chen Run doing at home, do you want to go to the ground?" Chen Chunhua suddenly asked Chen Zedao.

Chen Run, Chen Ze, and Chen Tao are all children of Chen Chunhua's second brother Chen Hantang, Chen Run is the oldest, 16 years old this year, and has been at home since graduating from junior high school last year, I don't know if I have followed the adults to the ground.

"Auntie, my sister Runrun is tired every day now, and the village says that she is young and is not allowed to work in the field. My sister does the housework every day, laundry and cooking. I also go to the mountains every day to chop firewood, and I also grow vegetables in our family's own land, and many of the vegetables I picked for the store today are planted by my sister!" Chen Ze replied.

"Then your sister is working too hard, what about the 16-year-old girl!" Chen Chunhua said with emotion, "You say, let your sister come to your aunt's shop to help and give her a salary every day, okay?"

"Okay, okay, auntie, your store is good, and there is rock sugar water to drink!" Chen Tao hurriedly said.

"Auntie, can you let my sister Lily also come to work in the store?" Chen Ze suddenly said, "Sister Lily also graduated from junior high school this year, I heard that Sister Lily may not be admitted to high school, and like my sister, she will have to farm at home in the future." ”

Chen Li is the second daughter of Chen Chunhua's eldest brother Chen Huahan, just now Chen Chunhua only asked Chen Run, the eldest daughter of the second brother Chen Huatang, and forgot to ask Chen Li's situation. Chen Huahan also has a young child, Chen Yun is only 13 years old.

"Okay, I'll go to your house in the evening and ask your two sisters what they mean, and if they want, let them all come to your aunt's shop to help. By the way, I will give the money to your uncle and your parents!" Chen Chunhua said.

When Chen Chunhua was cooking in the kitchen, she discussed with Wang Xiulan that she would collect the vegetables of Chen Chunhua's mother's brother in the future, regardless of the variety, at the price of one dime and five pounds, which was slightly higher than the market price, and it could be regarded as taking care of the family. In fact, the restaurant took advantage of it, because the vegetables provided by the Chen family were all clean, and they only needed to be cleaned when they were brought to the store, which saved a lot of trouble.

After eating in the afternoon, Zhang Qingxiang and Li Shuangzhu continued to chop the firewood behind the house. Chen Chunhua and Wang Xiujuan began to prepare the ingredients for dinner.

Li Liang, Zhang Meng, Chen Ze, and Chen Tao went to Zhang Meng's grandmother's house with a pot of rock sugar water. Chen Ze and Chen Tao wanted to tell the good news to their two sisters as soon as possible.

Before entering the courtyard gate, Chen Tao shouted loudly: "Sister Run, Sister Li, come out and drink sugar water!"

Entering the yard gate, Zhang Meng's grandparents were drying the rice ears in several bamboo plaques in the yard in the yard, these rice ears were picked up by the children in the field, and if you turn it, it will dry faster!

"Grandpa, grandma!" Zhang Meng shouted, and Li Liang also shouted.

There was no one else in the yard, so Chen Tao asked, "Grandma, what about my sister Run?" We brought rock sugar water back for them to drink!"

"Your sister and her three sisters have gone to the field, you go and call them back!" said Grandma Chen Tao.

Chen Tao listened to his grandmother's words and ran out of the yard as soon as he slipped away.

Chen Ze went to the kitchen and picked up a few bowls, washed them with water, put them on the table under the persimmon tree, poured two cups of sugar water, handed them to his grandparents and said, "Grandparents, this is the sugar water in my aunt's shop, I made it myself! ”

Everyone was talking in the yard, Tao Tao followed a few sisters back from the field, three girls, in turn Chen Huahan's two daughters Chen Li and Chen Yun, and Chen Huatang's eldest daughter Chen Run. After the mid-80s, Chen Li and Chen Run, two girls, followed their eldest brother Chen Bin to Pengcheng, they just started working in the factory, hard-working, and later relied on their own abilities to accumulate a lot of family business.

Chen Run, the eldest of the three sisters at the age of 16, took a sip of water and asked, "Brother Meng, is my aunt really going to let me and Lily go to work in your store, what do you mainly do, serve dishes and wash dishes?" Chen Run's goose egg face, slender figure, at this time was flashing a pair of beautiful big eyes, looking at Zhang Meng and Li Liang expectantly.

"Well, the main thing is to wash the dishes and dishes, greet the guests, and serve the dishes, which may be a little tiring, and it may not be timely to eat at noon!" Zhang Meng replied.

"I'm not afraid of being tired, I just don't want to farm, there's no way out!" Chen Run said firmly.

"Yes, yes, Brother Meng, I have graduated from junior high school now, and I am not afraid of being tired!" Chen Li also interjected.

"Then it's no problem! Why don't you two go to the store in the afternoon and get used to it in advance!" Li Liang said suddenly.

A few teenagers were in the mood, and they all came to the store.

In the store, Wang Xiulan was steaming rice in the kitchen, and Chen Chunhua was sweeping the floor after washing the dishes. Zhang Qingxiang and Li Shuangzhu also chopped the firewood and stacked it neatly under the eaves behind the kitchen.

A group of children entered the store, Chen Chunhua hurriedly beckoned everyone to sit down, and brought some melon seeds and peanuts from the counter to beckon the children to eat.

Chen Run and Chen Li took the initiative to ask their aunt Chen Chunhua to arrange work for them, Chen Chunhua took the two of them and first instructed them to memorize the ordering and collection process, and she was ready to let Chen Run be responsible for the duties of the cashier at the counter, and the younger Chen Li was responsible for greeting customers. While talking and laughing, the two little girls quickly mastered the basic process.

Seeing that the time was almost 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Li Liang and Zhang Meng chose to go to the cement factory to recruit the drivers who were still queuing.

There were about 30 people eating in the store in the evening, a little less than at noon, and some of the drivers who had pulled the goods had already left. In the evening of July, there are a lot of mosquitoes, buzzing mosquitoes, disturbing people can not be clean, and a bite on the skin is a fierce suck. Li Liang and the others forgot to think about it, and Chen Tao volunteered to go home and bring a bundle of dried wormwood to the store. An iron basin was placed in the corner of the lobby and lit it, and the smoke quickly dispersed the rampaging mosquitoes.

After dinner, some drivers left and stayed in the guest house of the cement factory, and some drivers who were reluctant to spend money were ready to deal with the night in the cab. Li Liang took Chen Ze, Tao Tao and others to fill each driver with a large porcelain pot teacup with a full cup of ice water for them to quench their thirst and cool off.

When the guests left, Chen Chunhua beckoned more than a dozen people of all sizes to eat together, and after dinner, cleaned and locked the door of the store, Chen Chunhua led Wang Xiulan, Zhang Meng, Li Liang and other teenagers to her mother's house.

Chen Qingxiang and Li Shuangzhu pulled the cart back to the county seat first, and they didn't have to come over tomorrow, Chen Chunhua and Wang Xiulan were going to go over to talk to Chen Chunhua's younger brother about the work of several nieces before going home, and Zhang Meng and Li Liang were going to stay here for a night tonight.
