On July 1, Li Liang got up early. Last night, he went to Zhang Meng's house and made an appointment with his aunt Chen Chunhua to transport the last truck of bricks and stones collected from the coal yard to the restaurant today.

Sister Li Meng sat at the table in the living room, holding a bowl of porridge, and a plate of pickled radish and scrambled eggs with diced radish was placed on the table, and she was drinking porridge with relish. She saw Li Liang pressing water in the well in the yard, ready to brush her teeth and wash her face, so she put down the dishes and chopsticks in her hand and went to the kitchen to serve Li Liang a bowl.

"Liangzi, today you and Aunt Chen went to see how the restaurant was built, right?" Li Meng came out of the kitchen with a bowl of porridge and asked while standing by the well.

"Yes, sister, are you going to work today, if you don't go to work, come with us. Li Liang replied vaguely while brushing his teeth.

"I'm going to work today, and I'll go over and have a look after two days off!" Li Meng responded.

After breakfast, my sister went to work, Li Liang locked the door, and carried a military kettle on his back, which was filled with cool white water. The little black dog Kuroko eagerly wanted to follow Li Liang out, and shook his tail diligently, but he was still locked in the yard by Li Liang ruthlessly.

When I came to Chenchen's house, Chenchen's family was having breakfast, and I didn't see Zhang Meng and Zhang Meng's second sister Zhang Jia. The rest of the Zhang family sat around the table and drank porridge. Sitting with his back to the door is Chenchen's younger brother Zhang Junjie, he is also on vacation, his academic performance is also quite good, he has just finished the exam for junior high school, and it is very likely that he will also study in Hekang No. 1 Middle School in the second half of the year, becoming Li Liang and Chenchen's primary school brother.

Seeing that Li Liang came to his house early, Chen Chunhua greeted: "Liangzi, have you had breakfast? Chenchen go and serve a bowl of porridge to Liangzi." ”

"No need, Auntie, I've eaten at home!" Li Liang hurriedly waved his hand.

Chenchen's family drinks sweet potato porridge, and people with a large family population are generally like this, and the porridge is either sweet potatoes or potatoes and corn.

"Liangzi, sit down!" Zhang Qingxiang also beckoned, "Uncle has asked Zhang Meng and his uncle to take someone over there to dig a well and build a house, and today you and your aunt will have to work hard to transport this last bit of bricks and stones in the yard." ”

"It's not hard, it should be!" Li Liang said.

Soon, after the family had breakfast, Chenchen's eldest sister Zhang Xin packed up the dishes and chopsticks to wash them, while Chenchen took the two kettles at home and filled them with cool white water, took out a few straw hats, picked a brand new one and handed it to Li Liang. Li Liang took the straw hat and squeezed a grimace at Chenchen to express his gratitude. Chenchen was a little embarrassed, blushing and not speaking.

Zhang Qingxiang and Chen Chunhua turned the head of the board car in the yard, the front of the car was facing the gate of the courtyard, and the board car was full of old bricks and stones. Chen Chunhua went to buy meat and vegetables early in the morning, packed them in a basket, and hung them on the front of the car. Today, they not only have to transport bricks and stones, but also cook a good meal for the masters who build manholes and houses.

It's time to go, Zhang Xin is doing physical work in the countryside, she pulls the cart in front to grasp the direction, Li Liang and Chen Chunhua push the cart behind the cart on the left and right, Chenchen follows with a kettle on her back, and her younger brother Zhang Junjie shouts to follow the past, so they set off together.

The overpass where the restaurant is located is about 4 or 5 kilometers away from the city, and the asphalt road is a water, and several people are talking and laughing on the road. At this time, most of the people on the road are walking, there are not many bicycles, and occasionally a car has been driven, and it is also a shuttle bus from the county seat to the township.

At the beginning, Zhang Junjie was still jumping and jumping quite energetically, but after walking two kilometers, he was basically tired and tired. Li Liang was also sweating profusely, and it was about 8 o'clock in the morning, but the sun was already very hot.

It was harvest season, and the fields on both sides of the road were full of busy farmers. The rice fields that have been harvested are scattered with children and some elderly people who look like elementary and middle school students. Li Liang knew that these children and old people were picking up the ears of rice scattered in the field.

Li Liang also went with a few cousins to pick up the rice ears when he was playing at his grandmother's house in the summer vacation, and the ears of rice that were picked up were used to feed the chickens and ducks empty, and the full ones would eventually fall into people's stomachs.

Finally, it was almost time to reach the overpass, and the location of the restaurant was on National Highway 105 under the bridge. At this point, you have to turn downhill from the auxiliary bridge to the bottom of the bridge. Zhang Xin tilted the cart backwards, trying to make the tail butt of the cart rub against the rough ground to increase the friction of the downhill. Li Liang and Chen Chunhua did not push the car hard at this time, but leaned back slightly, pulling the baffle on the side of the car to ensure that the speed of the car slowing downhill.

Downhill, about 100 meters or so, Li Liang saw a small yurt hut on the side of the road in front of him, the hut had not yet been capped, and several men and women were busy in front of the house.

Zhang Junjie's eyes were good, he ran over excitedly and shouted loudly: "Uncle, we are here!"

Hearing the shouts, a small man stood up, shirtless and his dark complexion glowing with oil. He walked over quickly, took the handlebar of the board car from Zhang Xin's hand, and pulled the car to continue walking.

He said while pulling: "Chunhua, Zhang Xin, you are tired, why didn't Qingxiang come today?"

"Brother, we came to the coal yard today with a few trucks of raw coal that need to be unloaded, he can't come, I'm afraid of delaying your affairs, so I'll take Zhang Xin to bring the rest of the bricks and stones, I don't know if this car is enough!" Chen Chunhua replied.

Zhang Xin and Chenchen shouted their uncles enthusiastically, and Li Liang also shouted uncle, Uncle Zhang Xin responded happily and continued: "Plus this car is almost enough, I dragged a few pine trees cut down at home last year, and I can erect the beams of the house today." ”

Before coming to the restaurant, several men and women who were working listened to the work in their hands, and one of the middle-aged women said to Chen Chunhua with a smile: "Chunhua, your man still has eyesight, opening a restaurant in this location, the business will definitely be bad!"

"Sister-in-law, Qingxiang can't think of this idea. Saying that, Chen Chunhua took Li Liang's hand and said, "Well, this is Li Liang, Chenchen's classmate, and he gave us this idea." Liangzi, this is my sister-in-law, you can call your aunt!"

"Hello aunt!" Li Liang actually knew this aunt in his previous life, and he called people sweetly.

"Yo, Liangzi is Chenchen's classmate, no wonder, the student's mind is flexible!" Chenchen's aunt boasted.

Chen Chunhua chatted with her eldest brother and sister-in-law and a few masters for a while, and then began to continue working, and Zhang Xin also went to unload the masonry on the truck. Zhang Junjie has long since run away, and it seems that he went to his grandmother's house to play with his friends.

Li Liang and Chenchen walked into the restaurant that had been cut into the wall, the restaurant was not big, only two entrances, the front hall was about 50 square meters, and the space in the back was a little smaller, about 20 square meters, it seemed to be used as a kitchen. The roof of the restaurant has not yet been covered, and there are a few straight logs on it, and when he came in just now, Li Liang saw a small pile of asbestos tiles and linoleum in the open space outside, and it seems that the roof can be laid today!
