In the autumn of this year, that is, in late October, the grandfather of the Liu family felt that his health was not very good, so he used the excuse that he was uncomfortable living in the county seat, and talked about going back to Qingping. The old man is like a baby, he has to do whatever he wants, and he nagged a few times a day, so he didn't care about anything else.

Father Enwa said: "There are people needed here, and if you go back, you have to take care of both sides and run at both ends." But the old man said, "Just send your forehead back, and you can be alone in the house, and you don't want to serve you." "You put it simply, how is that possible. ”

"Oh, the price of the house is back, why can't it? "What's the matter, you are. "If you don't stop here, you're going back to the village." "Ah, okay, I'll send you back. "Father Enwa had no choice, so he had to follow the old man's wishes.

Enwa's father had to follow, cleaned up Qingping, and installed a phone at Qingping's house. But half a month later, on Friday, when the four generations were reunited in Qingping, the grandfather of the Liu family passed away.

The old man walked very peacefully, just sat on the kang, leaned against the quilt, and didn't say anything, look at this, look at that, like a nap, and left. The old man's life is dying, which is considered a white happy event, and the Liu family drums and music are blown, and a banquet is held, and a funeral is held for the old man.

Fifty-seven days later, that is, thirty-five days later, Enwa's parents returned to the county seat and lived with their son. The income is small, the expenses are large, and the turnover of funds is needed in the Qingping shop, which makes Enwa extremely tight.

That night, both children fell asleep, and Enwa and Apricot chatted while watching TV. "Wife, how much can we have left every month now?" "What is left?" "Money?" "Just a few hundred yuan." "Oh. If this continues, I'm afraid I won't even be able to raise children. ”

"That's enough savings. The family has just done things, and the child's expenses are large...... "I don't blame you." Mom asked you to be this family, and it's hard for you. "We're climbing now, and every family is like this, counting the money to get by. It will be fine in the future. ”

"It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice. I'll give you that little money every month, and I know it. I was wondering if we could do something else. "What can you do?" "Look at the small restaurant in Qingping, it's good, it's better than going to work." ”

"Of course, it's comfortable to do it for yourself. "Hey, are we going to open one in the county seat?" "Open it in the county seat?" "Uh." ”

"You're not going to work?" "Hehe, I've been tossing and turning in the past few years, and I've thought about it." You can do whatever you want to make money, and it doesn't matter if you have a fixed job or not. "Do you really think that?" "Hmm. ”

"Hehe, that's actually it. However, Qingping is Qingping, and the county is the county, which is different, there are so many restaurants in the county. "There are peers who don't have the same benefits. The key is to have a distinctive character so that there will be repeat customers. ”

"Yes. There are so many restaurants on the street, why do people come to you to eat?" "Oh, you're going to do it again?" "I'll tell you the truth, I've been thinking about this these days. I've thought about it, let's make local vegetables. ”

"Local vegetables?" "Well, it's a farmhouse dish." "It's pretty fresh. However, it has to be authentic. Also, things like noodles and buns can also be used as staple foods. "Yes, I thought of it together. Over the years, I have become richer, and there are more people who go to the restaurant. I've eaten almost this cuisine and that cuisine, and it's time to change the taste. ”

"Hey, you're talking about rich people. "Big and small restaurants all cook big dishes, but not many people cook hometown dishes and farm dishes. "Well, that makes sense. "Let's just make farmhouse dishes, the amount is estimated to be not bad, good quality and low price." "Oh, I don't understand. ”

"This time, I tried to make one or two peasant dishes at the Emen Tourist Hotel, and it was quite popular. "Oh. However, as the days go by, just a few dishes are not enough. "Well, let's think about it again, improve the ingredients and methods of the farmhouse cuisine, make it the first twenty recipes, and as soon as our restaurant opens, we will play it out." ”

"Then what are you going to do with that job?" "Let's see if you can stay on duty without pay." "There is no turning back from the bow, so you have to be cautious. "Yes. But would your brother have had an idea? It took a lot of time to settle on this job. ”

"No, we'll call the shots. What if the hotel doesn't agree to your stay without pay?" "Well, some units have to pay if they want to stay on duty without pay. "When the preparations are almost complete, I will go to the leader." ”

"Opening a restaurant in the county seat, even if it is a small restaurant, you have to pay a sum of money. We have a full dozen, and it's only four or five thousand dollars. "When the recipe is almost ready, go find your mother." ”

"Your father just paid that retirement salary, built a house, and gave the old man, how much money can they have?!" Enwa looked at Xing'er and smiled, but did not answer.

"Besides, if you use these thousands of dollars in restaurants, what will you do in the future?" In this matter, I went to my father to find a way. If you don't fight all at once, you will always suffer from poverty. "Hehe, that's like a man. ”

"I'm going to discuss with you today. If it works, I'll start preparing. "Okay, you're ready. "You and your mother just take care of the children, and you can get this matter with your father." ”

"What's the name of the restaurant?" "What do you see?" "Look, it's better to call it Persimmon Bay Native Restaurant." "Hey, that's a pretty good name. "Brother E said, our area is on Fenhe Bay, and persimmon trees are all over the fields, so it should be called Persimmon Bay. "Oh, that's fine, it's called Persimmon Bay Tucai Restaurant. ”

"If you can make a name for yourself, you will come back and work with you, and the husband and wife will follow. "Haha, this can't be done, it's too risky to do both. "Okay, you go and do it, and the class will be repaid." ”

As she spoke, Xing'er leaned on Enwa's shoulder, feeling that Enwa was ripe, and a sense of relief and happiness couldn't help but arise spontaneously.

Enwa wants to open a small restaurant in the county seat, which seems to be due to the pressure of financial burden. In fact, there is a more important reason, which is stimulated by a few classmates to make a fortune in business.

Most of Enwa's primary and secondary school classmates did not pass the examination, and most of them worked as farmers in the village. But in these years, farming has not made money, and it is difficult to feed a family by farming alone. So, they were forced to go out for their livelihood.

They either do small business, or work part-time, and even have small factories, small companies, or so on. For example, a spring factory, a glass knife factory, a date factory, a prefabricated board factory, a paint factory, or something.

Of course, and quite a few of them are out to make cakes. If you look at this beating of bread, many people have lifted themselves out of poverty by beating bread. The son of the daughter-in-law of the Xing family is making cakes, and after three or four years of work, he built a two-story small building.

As a college student, her life is so tight, and she naturally doesn't feel good in her heart.

So, he took advantage of his condition to be a chef in a tourist hotel, and gradually mastered some cooking skills, coupled with the accumulation of experience in opening a small restaurant in Qingping Hot Spring Leisure Center, he wanted to open a restaurant in the county seat, ready to fight.

The words are divided into two ends. Let's say that after Guiwa came out of the detention center, she didn't continue to live in Pingyang, and really returned to Yunling silently as Hei Dan expected.

After entering the village gate, I saw a few old men sitting there chatting, and after greeting each other a few words, Guiwa walked straight to her house.

When she arrived at the door, she saw that the door was locked, so she picked up a brick from the alley, smashed the lock and entered the yard. In the courtyard, poplars rattled in the breeze, and several fruit trees flourished.

Guiwa reached out and picked a fruit, wiped it on her clothes, and looked around as she ate. Seeing that the yard was clean, as if someone was there, Guiwa wanted to shout, "Who is in the house?" but remembered that the courtyard door was locked just now, so she didn't shout.

As everyone knows, over the years, although no one lives in Yunling, Uncle Xing'er has come to pick up and pick up once every half a month, so I can't see that there is a deserted appearance. After so many years, the first time I saw the house that Ye Zi had turned over back then, Guiwa was somewhat surprised in her heart.

Guiwa picked up a brick and smashed the lock on the door, and as soon as she entered the North Building, she saw the portraits of her mother and wife hanging on the wall at a glance. My mother passed away, Ye Zi was gone, and the family was full of desolation, and Guiwa felt uncomfortable.

But after running all the way, people were sleepy and thirsty, so Guiwa brought firewood from the yard, boiled some boiling water on the tiger stove, and drank it. Then, while smoking, he walked around the house and outside the house.

He skimmed the lock, opened the cabinet and crate, rummaged through it, and found no money. When I saw the two jars of grain and a pine coffin in Xixia, my eyes lit up. Coming out of the house, squatting on the threshold and a cigarette, seeing the poplar trees that had grown thick all over the courtyard, the noble baby couldn't help laughing. He thought to himself, what a way to the sky, isn't it?

After seeing the situation at home, Guiwa walked out of the house, accosted her neighbors all the way, came to the small shop at the entrance of the alley, bought a few locks, and bought instant noodles, bread, ham sausages and cigarettes, and came back to eat.

Then, he swept the kang, took out the quilt and mattress from the crateboard, put them on the strips in the courtyard to dry, and went out to visit the door.

I haven't come back for more than 20 years, and many of the old people in the village who were familiar with them earlier have died one after another, most of the young and middle-aged people have gone out to work or do business, and most of the young daughters-in-law and children left behind are not known by the precious children, and only a few old people who are still alive can still recognize them.

However, as soon as the young man heard that he was a noble baby, everyone knew him. Guiwa asked about her children, and the neighbors told him. Of course, after learning about the situation of her children, Guiwa was still quite comfortable.

The neighbor asked him if he had made a fortune outside, and Guiwa laughed dryly, and quickly diverted the topic and said something inconsequential.

The next day, under the guidance of a neighbor, Guiwa looked at his family's six acres of responsible land. People told him that the peach and his wife have helped harvest and plant all these years, and now the medicinal materials in this field have only been planted for half a year, and it will take two years to reach the harvest period. He also told him that the harvest in his field would be available next year.

Of course, in the field of responsibility, Guiwa also saw the tombs of her mother and wife. He only stood in front of the grave, saying nothing, and not shedding tears.

Back in the village, Guiwa first bought a bag of flour and a small bucket of rapeseed oil, so that she could eat easily.

In a few days, there will be a temple fair, and Guiwa invited neighbors to help get out several large jars of grain at home and pull them to the market to sell. Ten days later, Guiwa invited a neighbor to help cut down all the poplars that had grown thick in the yard, dried them, and then transported them to the market to sell.

In this way, with money in hand, Guiwa lived her own small life. But the children didn't come back to see him.
