Li Liang glanced at the Zhang family's dining table, there were only two pots of vegetables on the table, a plate of stewed tofu and a plate of fried bean sprouts, and there were very few oil stars. Rice is sweet potato rice, that is, sweet potatoes are cut into pieces and mixed in rice and steamed together, this kind of sweet potato rice is not uncommon in this era, and unlike later generations who pay attention to health and take the initiative to eat sweet potatoes and other grains, people at this time are basically because the rice is not enough to eat to mix sweet potatoes.

Zhang Meng's family was also discussing Li Liang's proposal in the afternoon at this time, and it happened that Li Liang came, and Zhang Meng's father Zhang Qingxiang also wanted to hear the words of Li Liang, the initiator. He said to Li Liang: "Liangzi, do you think there will be business in opening a restaurant on the other side of the overpass?"

Li Liang is very familiar with the temper of his future father-in-law Zhang Qingxiang, and his brain is relatively flexible. It is not easy for Zhang Qingxiang and his family to raise five children in the coal yard, and he usually takes on some private work, such as when he is on holiday in the field, he goes out to pull a car for people, transports goods, and secretly gets some vegetables from the countryside to sell them in the county market to make some living money. So when Li Liang gave Zhang Meng an idea during the day, he guessed that Zhang Qingxiang would definitely be interested in this matter.

Li Liang took out the words that Zhang Meng and Lei Lei analyzed in the afternoon, and added some content: "Uncle, the scale of the cement factory in the county over the overpass is not small, and now there are so many construction projects in the county, and the cement there is in short supply, you know." Li Liang looked at Zhang Qingxiang and nodded, and continued: "Let's assume that 50 cars go there every day to pull cement, as long as 30% of the cars are willing to eat in the store, there are 30 people on average for two people per car. With an average consumption of 5 cents per person, the daily operating income can reach 15 yuan, and it is not a big problem to make 300 or 400 yuan a month. Excluding the cost of raw materials, I estimate that the net income will not be less than 100 yuan in a month. ”

Zhang Meng interjected: "Not only that, but there are also cars from several surrounding counties going to the city, and other passing cars on the national highway may come to fill the water tank with water and eat when they are refueling." ”

Li Liang said approvingly: "It's more than that, I'm a conservative estimate, uncle, do you think my analysis is reasonable?"

Zhang Qingxiang said: "If you calculate it like this, it is really possible. But I still want Zhang Meng to go to the coal yard for your aunt's class, although the coal yard is hard, there is a formal establishment. Although his eldest daughter Zhang Xin is unemployed at home, he still makes no secret of his patriarchal thinking. "As for the restaurant, I think your aunt brought your sister Zhang Xin to support her, and she can do it, and women are even better at cooking. ”

Li Liang shook his head and said: "Uncle, it's okay to wait for the hotel to be on the right track in the future, but it's definitely not okay at the beginning now, there are many drivers of sports cars in the generation of the national highway, and their personalities are quite wild, and there is no man there to support it, I am worried that my aunt and Sister Zhang Xin will not be able to control the scene." ”

In the early 80s, China had just ended the turbulent situation, at this time the drivers of sports cars on the road were all awesome and vigorous, the reason for the cattle was that there were few cars, there were fewer opportunities to learn to drive, and many drivers were transferred to the army or commissioned by the unit to train; second, because running long-distance cars is more likely to encounter various situations, and there are many road blockers who block the road and charge fees, and if the drivers are not tough, they are likely to suffer.

Chen Chunhua also said to Zhang Qingxiang: "Dad, let Zhang Xin go to my class, and Zhang Meng and I will go to open up this small restaurant." ”

Zhang Xin, who was eating on the side, was a hearty character, she knew her father's patriarchal thoughts, and she also interjected, saying: "Dad, let's let Mengzi go to work in the coal yard, although I am a woman, I haven't worked in the township in the past few years, and I have the strength." I can hold it up. ”

Zhang Meng's family has a relatively straightforward physique, although Zhang Xin is a girl, her figure is indeed relatively thick, men in the south are generally not tall, and it is really not easy for ordinary men to take advantage if they play tricks in front of Zhang Xin.

Zhang Qingxiang pondered for a while, and finally clapped his head: "Well, then let Zhang Xin go to the substitute shift, I will go to our field manager tomorrow to handle your mother's sick retirement, and the approval procedures may take a month." During this time, we first prepared the materials for building the façade room, and when Zhang Meng graduated from high school, we officially started to work. Then he said to his wife Chen Chunhua, "Chunhua, tomorrow you cut two catties of meat and go back to see your mother, discuss with your brothers, and lend us the land by the overpass for a few years!"

Several brothers in Chen Chunhua's mother's family are not bad, and the concubines are relatively harmonious, so there is no big problem, so she nodded and responded to this errand.

Then Zhang Meng's family summed up the building materials that may need to be used to build a façade house, and finally decided to build a simple house first, prepare some wood, masonry, lime, and temporarily pave the roof with low-cost linoleum, as long as it can prevent rain and wind, and then start to renovate it after it is really on the right track and can make money.

It just so happens that some time ago in their unit coal yard there were a few dormitories built in the 50s because of disrepair collapsed, the yard is preparing to rebuild, the original masonry after more than 30 years of rain erosion, most of them are a little problematic, the yard is not ready to use, but if it is used to build a simple yurt house is no problem.

Zhang Qingxiang is a person who does what he says, and after eating, he went to the store department of the state-owned supply and marketing cooperatives on the street to buy a red plum cigarette and brought it to the field manager's house. When the director heard that Zhang Qingxiang wanted only some useless bricks and stones in the field, he readily agreed; perhaps the effect of cigarettes was greater, and he also promised to handle Chen Chunhua's illness and Zhang Xin's replacement procedures as soon as possible.

Li Liang waited for Zhang's family to finish eating, and asked Zhang Chen for a few study problems, and went to her room with Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen's house is also tense, she and her two sisters live in one, and the room is not big. After more than 30 years of getting along with Zhang Chen in later generations, Li Liang has long been clear about Zhang Chen's temper, hobbies, and habits, so he casually picked up a few jokes from the materials of later generations, and won the girl's shy smile, and took the opportunity to pull Zhang Chen's little hand a few years in advance, Zhang Chen's little hand was warm and tactile. In the original history, Li Liang waited until he graduated from secondary school to formally determine the relationship with Zhang Chen, and according to the current progress, he is expected to get Zhang Chen a few years in advance.

After saying goodbye to Zhang Chen and returning home, Li Liang took a bath and returned to his room. Li Liang's room is not big and messy. There was only a simple desk in the room, which his father had made of wood himself, rough but sturdy.

The weather in June is already relatively hot, only the living room has a bulky floor fan at home, Li Liang sat at the desk and took a pu fan in his hand and shook it gently, in his previous life, he was used to the days of air conditioning and refrigerators, and he was really not used to it. Li Liang thought that it is impossible to get a household air conditioner now, and he has the impression that the household air conditioner has entered the Chinese family in the late 80s, and he only had the first air conditioner in his life in the 90s in his previous life, and it seems that he has to think of a way to add two more fans to the home.

Li Liang took out a notebook and recorded some important points in his life in his previous life, in his previous life, Li Liang was admitted to a regional secondary school normal college through the high school entrance examination in the summer of 81, and after graduating in 83, he was assigned by the school to work in the township primary school in Hek County. When the township government lacked staff in 87, he took this opportunity to transfer to the government and became a grassroots civil servant, all the way up, from a general township government clerk to the head of the unit, deputy mayor, and later transferred to the Education Bureau as deputy director, the career can only be said to be step-by-step, compared to some students who later lived at the county department level or even the department and bureau level, he was just so-so, and the reason for his final rebirth was excessive drinking in this deputy bureau.

He can imagine that with the developed media power in later generations, he has become a negative example on the Internet. Maybe it will be made into a joke by netizens, "Hekang has a director, and he is drunk in wine and dreams for a long time; once he is drunk, he will pay for his life in his dreams!" Thinking about that embarrassing picture, he couldn't help but shudder.

Now that he has the opportunity to do it all over again, he must grasp the throat of fate. At this time, China had just passed a long period of chaos, and social order urgently needed to be rebuilt, although at the end of 78, the Chinese high-level leaders put forward the policy of reform and opening up, and approved the implementation of special policies and flexible measures in foreign economic activities in Guangdong and Min provinces, and took a historic step towards reform and opening up. However, the process of reform has been difficult, and it was not until 83 that the household contract responsibility system was fully rolled out throughout the country, and it was not until the southern tour of the great man in 92 that China really embarked on the fast track of reform and opening up. But the whole 80s was a turbulent era, and many famous companies in later generations started in the 80s, laying the foundation for later development, such as Lenovo, Huawei, ZTE, Sany and so on.

Li Liang recorded some important events in his memory in his notebook in the form of symbols and spellings, put away the notebook, and opened his mathematics textbook. After a day of class, he found that the Chinese language is still relatively easy to use, only mathematics, after decades of later generations, has forgotten a lot, fortunately, junior high school mathematics is not very difficult, with the memory of the previous life and the clear brain after rebirth, he has the confidence to learn mathematics again. Looking at the book, time passed quickly, and Li Liang didn't feel the heat of the room. During this period, Li Meng brought his younger brother a cup of tea, and saw that his younger brother was seriously reviewing his homework, Li Meng smiled faintly and put the tea away and left the room, without disturbing him.

Early the next morning, Li Liang got up. My parents have already gone to work, and my sister is on the morning shift at the hospital today, and she also went out early. Li Liang washed up, went out of the house with his schoolbag, and locked the sunspot in the courtyard as usual. He went to Zhang Chen's house first, and as soon as he walked into the courtyard of Zhang Chen's house, he saw Zhang Meng and his father Zhang Qingxiang pulling a cart of bricks and stones back, and he hurriedly stepped forward to take a hand. This is when they went to the coal yard early in the morning, and pulled a cart of waste bricks and stones promised by the yard manager back, and did not unload the goods, so they put them in the yard, preparing to wait for Zhang Meng to get out of school in the afternoon, and then pull them to the side of the overpass in the west of the city.

Li Liang greeted Zhang's father, and after Zhang Meng took a shower, he went out of Zhang's house with Zhang Chen and Zhang Meng. The three of them bought a few steamed buns and porridge in the school cafeteria, sat down and ate them.
