Wang Xiujuan didn't take the money handed over by Li Liang, she said worriedly: "Liangzi, you did the right thing, but if you encounter such a thing in the future, you must remember to protect yourself first, don't let your parents worry!"

After dinner, Li Liang took Wang Xiuyan to Chen Chunhua's house to knock on the door. Chen Chunhua has come back from Wangkelai Restaurant by bicycle, Chenchen and Zhang Junjie are still playing at their grandmother's house and have not returned, there are only Zhang Qingxiang and Chen Chunhua at home, as well as Chenchen's eldest sister Zhang Xin and second sister Zhang Jia.

Hearing that Li Liang was going to let his aunt Wang Xiuyan go to the restaurant to do things, and Wang Xiuyan's cooking skills were not bad, Chen Chunhua was very happy, she smiled and said: "Auntie is very busy these days, and she is preparing to recruit another person, Xiuyan came just in time." Then she continued, "Liangzi, your idea last time was really good, these days many villagers have come to my aunt to inquire about the store, and 10 people have signed an agreement with my aunt, and my aunt has received 600 yuan for the first year's rent." Coupled with the operating profits in the past few days, my aunt has saved 1,000 yuan in hand, and I am about to go to your house to discuss with your parents, and I will buy materials to start building in the next two days. ”

Li Liang didn't expect that there would be many people who had the courage to eat crabs so soon, and he responded: "Auntie, let's start it, it's just to trouble Uncle Zhang, you take a few days off to help buy materials, and I'll go home and tell my dad to ask him to take a few days off to do this with you." ”

"Okay, then that's it, tomorrow we will go to Huanggang Village to find Uncle Dongbao to open a letter of introduction from the village, and then we will go to buy materials!" Zhang Qingxiang said.

"By the way, auntie, did Hu Pingcheng, who came to inquire about the situation of the store that day, rent it?" Li Liang remembered the first Hu Pingcheng who came to consult and was about to open an iron shop.

"He's the first to rent!" Chen replied.

Li Liang and Wang Xiuyan returned home and told their father Li Shuangzhu about the plan, Li Shuangzhu agreed that his wife would go to the factory the next day to ask for leave for him, and he went to run errands with Zhang Qingxiang early in the morning.

Chen Dongbao, the party secretary of Huanggang Village, was very happy to open a letter of introduction in the name of the village, and he also hoped that the store would be built as soon as possible, and there were two rooms in his house, which did not require him to pay a penny himself, so the signature was very refreshing.

Zhang Qingxiang and Li Shuangzhu took the letter of introduction issued by the village, paid a deposit of 500 yuan in advance at the brick factory in Changgang Township, and agreed to pay the remaining 500 yuan at the end of the month. Through the relationship of Song Liangren, the head of the sales section of the cement plant, a truckload of cement was brought from the cement factory.

During this time, Song Liangren has become a loyal fan of the spicy crayfish in the store, and he will come to the store to eat a meal almost every once in a while, sometimes paying the bill himself, but most of the time it is the driver who asks him to buy cement to invite him to eat. After eating more often, he naturally became familiar with everyone in the store, he knew that this place was going to expand the scale, and proposed to Chen Chunhua that he also wanted to rent a storefront, Chen Chunhua took the opportunity to waive the first year's rent, and in return Song Liangren gave priority to approving a car of cement.

Chen Dongbao's youngest son, Chen Shuangcheng, has a very flexible mind, and his father asked him for two free stores, and he did not sign a lease agreement with Chen Chunhua, but signed a sale and purchase agreement. In this era, the registration of housing development and property rights policies is not very clear, and Chen Chunhua is currently built without approval with the tacit consent of the village, so Chen Shuangcheng has this sale and purchase agreement, and the two shops in the future will belong to him. However, he did not blindly ask for it, and in return, he offered to provide these 20 shops with free wood to make beams.

Now is the slack season, and the rice in the field has just been planted for a month, and there is not much manpower to take care of it. Chen Dongbao used his power and connections to mobilize a group of plasterers, carpenters and bricklayers in the village who knew how to build to participate in the construction of the shop. In addition, the wage of Chen Chunhua is also high, and it is difficult to find such a wage at present, which is 1.5 yuan a day for a master and 1 yuan a day for a small worker, and it also includes two meals at noon and night. The masters have high wages, good food, and the supervision of the village party secretary, and they work very profitably.

It only took more than half a month, and 10 shops were erected on the left and right sides of the road, of which 10 shops in the north of the road were next to the current Wangkelai restaurant, forming a pattern of 11 in the north of the road and 10 in the south of the road. The 10 shops in Lunan are about 50 meters away from the gas station, which is also carried out at Li Liang's repeated requests.

The house here is about to be built and is about to be capped; over there, Zhang Qingxiang and Li Shuangzhu took the letter of introduction from the village and went to the construction bureau, the industrial and commercial bureau and other government departments to handle the relevant documents, but they ran into trouble. Now that the reform and opening up has just begun, the staff of many administrative units themselves do not understand whether the purchase of collective land by private individuals to build so many shops is in line with the above policy, and how to approve it. In this way, with the helpless acquiescence of the relevant departments, these two rows of shops that are definitely illegal buildings in later generations have been capped.

Due to the abundance of materials and the professional chefs invited, these 20 new restaurants are much more magnificent than the previous Wangkelai restaurants. Chen Chunhua reserved some building materials and planned to move Wangkelai to the two storefronts next door, and then renovate Wangkelai.

On August 26, all 20 stores were renovated, each with a 60-square-meter lobby, and a 20-square-meter kitchen and 20-square-meter storage room at the back. In the future, regardless of whether the owners of these shops are preparing to cook food or sell other products, they can open and stay in the back kitchen of the store.

There is about 10 meters of open space reserved in front of the store from the road, and at Li Liang's request, all the bottom is paved with a layer of gravel, and then the top is flattened with cement, and the drivers can park their cars in the open space outside the store when they come to eat again.

Early in the morning, Chen Chunhua's family, Li Liang's family, Chen Dongbao and his son Chen Shuangcheng, as well as Chen Huahan and his wife, Chen Huatang and his wife, Hu Pingcheng and other businesses gathered outside Wangkelai Restaurant. The magnificent shops on both sides of the road have all been renovated, and signs have been hung up according to the business scope of each family.

Chen Chunhua had already discussed with Chen Dongbao in advance, and Chen Dongbao spoke on behalf of the village: "Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here today because there is a good leader among us, Comrade Chen Chunhua, an outstanding daughter of Huanggang Village. Under her leadership, we here today include peasants, young intellectuals who have returned to the city, and unemployed young people who have just graduated, and gathered together to use their wisdom and talents, actively serve the masses, and strive to make a living for themselves. On behalf of the Huanggang Village Committee, I wish you all to give full play to the spirit of not waiting and not relying on each other, become 10,000 yuan households as soon as possible, and use your own labor and sweat to contribute to the four modernizations. ”
