Chen Anxiu's unemployment and hiding from his family made Chen's father and Chen's mother both angry and distressed, but there were chickens on the mountain, and there could be no one at home all the time, so Chen's father went back first that night, leaving Chen's mother to accompany Chen Anxiu and Ton ton at the bottom of the mountain. People are getting older, more and more like a child, Chen's mother didn't say a word to Chen Anxiu for three days for this matter, let Chen Anxiu turn around beside her, her mother is long and her mother is short, and it doesn't work to use all the coquettish and obedient things.

The house where Chen Tianyu lives now is three bedrooms and two living rooms, but only two rooms have beds, after Chen's mother stayed, Chen Tianyu temporarily lived in the company, and the house was left for the three of them to toss. Grandma, we went back at nine o'clock after selling clothes, Dad slept for a while, got up in the middle of the night to deliver milk, sent a lot to people every day, came back to help Uncle Liu buy vegetables, eat a little food, and went to work in the morning, Dad didn't work, we had no money to eat, and I couldn't learn to draw......"

Chen's mother wiped the corners of her eyes, saw Chen Anxiu probing his brain at the kitchen door, and deliberately said, "That's what your father is willing to do, don't feel sorry for him." "That being said, in the end, I am a mother, and when I hear this, my heart is already soft.

has been a mother and son for more than 20 years, how can Chen Anxiu not understand his mother's hard-mouthed and soft-hearted temper, when eating, he will become more and more small and low, praise all dishes are delicious, and from time to time to put vegetables into his mother and tons of bowls, Chen's mother didn't answer at first, and then saw his hand holding vegetables stop in mid-air and shrank his head pitifully, and handed the rice bowl forward, Chen Anxiu immediately smiled, and hurriedly sent the dishes on the chopsticks.

"You bear child, you don't make people worry about it at any time. "Mom is willing to talk to him, and Chen Anxiu knows that this matter is about to be over, and Mom's side compromises first, and Dad's side is not a problem at all.

It's already December, seeing that there are less than two months to be the New Year of the lunar calendar, as long as most of the people who have worked know the way, the more to the end of the year, the more difficult to find a job, Chen Tianyu asked him to temporarily help in his own express company, Chen Tianyu This company is a partnership with a person named Wen Kai, according to Tianyu said that the other party is his classmate in the secondary school, the development is more advanced, it looks a little over thirty, striding towards the trend of forty, people are chubby, shy with a small belly, laughing eyebrows without eyes, seeing Chen Anxiu, the hand like a small pu fan is held up, especially affectionately called him, "Big brother. ”

Chen Anxiu only felt that his right hand was trapped in a ball of cotton, soft, and meaty, and his eyebrows jumped several times before he controlled his facial expression and did not lose his shape, patted his shoulder with a calm demeanor, and replied, "It turns out that you are ...... Small...... Warm. His voice trembled a little, but it wasn't very obvious, and the assessment he gave himself in his heart was, pass.

Wen Kai held his hand and continued to shake it, his fleshy chin trembling with his voice, "Big brother, I used to hear Tianyu say that he had an elder brother who was a soldier outside, I haven't seen you yet, this time I finally met, and I will be my own brother in the future, don't feel uncomfortable here." ”

Don't look at Wen Kai's long looks, but in fact, he is quite righteous, this is Chen Anxiu's conclusion after working here for a week, although their express company is not big, but the staffing is quite reasonable, there is no need to increase manpower at all, Chen Anxiu basically has no work to do here, there are special delivery personnel in the delivery area, Chen Anxiu occasionally goes out to receive a mail, and the bulk mail from other places arrives, he helps unload the truck, and then helps the clerk Xiao Tan to do computer entry. Tianyu and Wen Kai are one outside the main and one inside, Tianyu spends most of the time running customers outside, Wen Kai stays in the company, Chen Anxiu spends most of his time drinking tea with this person, and then listening to his gods, from North Korea to South Korea, from the ethnic crisis in Serbia, to the piracy problem in Somalia, talking endlessly, all-encompassing, it can be said that looking at the world and the world, when he occasionally stops, he asks Chen Anxiu, "Big brother, how do you think the crisis on the peninsula may develop?"

Chen Anxiu calmly took a sip of tea, and then commented mysteriously, "It's unpredictable." "God knows how it develops, and how it wants to develop.

Wen Kai patted his thigh, and said with a feeling that he had finally found a confidant, "Big brother Gaojian, I said that this battle can't be fought, but maybe it will be like this......"

Chen Anxiu knew in his heart that the reason why Wen Kai kept pulling him to talk was one of them, but there was another reason that he was probably afraid that he would not be comfortable being idle here. He received this kindness, but he couldn't enjoy it as it should be, it was not easy for Tianyu to run a company, what was the matter with his white-collar salary here, he was hesitating how to talk to Tianyu, once when he had breakfast with Ton Ton in Liu Bo's shop, he heard Liu Bo mention that their family was going home for the New Year this year, and they hadn't gone back for three or four years. The little girl who helped in the store called Luo Fangfang didn't leave, so she stayed to watch the door.

When Chen Anxiu heard what he said, he thought about it and said, "Brother Liu, when you go home, this store is empty, so it's better to rent it to me for a month." "In mid-January, they had a winter vacation, and after the winter vacation, they went back to the mountains.

In their kind of corners, no one from the industrial and commercial department usually comes to check, "Opening a restaurant is not an easy errand, and you get up early and are greedy for darkness." Liu Bo gave him a preventive shot, "You can use it if you want, I don't have anything here, just such a roof, a few tables, it's empty anyway." ”

Chen Anxiu knew that his life was not rich, and insisted on giving money, Liu Bo insisted on not to, he also had a little bit of his own careful thoughts, Chen Anxiu is a local after all, if he encounters something here in the future, he may have to find this person to help, he is still willing to pay this little money, and Chen Anxiu still gave the money after the last time, but Liu Bo asked Zhou Yuan to return part of it, all in all, the rent is very cheap. With this excuse, Chen Anxiu quit his job at Tianyu and concentrated on taking care of this small restaurant.

Before leaving, Wen Kai still took Chen Anxiu's hand, and said reluctantly with affection, "Big brother, it's only been a few days, why did you leave? Chen Anxiu walked a few steps, and heard him shouting from behind, "Big brother, I must come again, ah, ah, ah......" The echo was infinite.

Seeing this scene, pedestrians on the street scanned them back and forth. Chen Tianyu couldn't bear to grab the round shoulders and dragged the person in.

Chen Anxiu had only eaten in a restaurant before, but he had never cooked here, and he was taken over for the first time, and he still felt a little clueless, he decided to start with breakfast, he bought the materials he wanted, got up early in the morning to steam the buns, Luo Fangfang also got up to help boil a large pot of millet porridge, Chen Anxiu promised to pay her a month's salary, she was very happy. I don't know what the market is, Chen Anxiu only made three kinds of fillings, pork and green onions, pork and cabbage vermicelli, and one is radish meat, which is different from the delicate looking xiaolongbao on the opposite side, his buns are all big, the skin is thin and filling, he prepared garlic cloves in advance, cooked chili oil, and sour radish, stuffed bean sprouts, small dried fish and other side dishes can provide a small dish for free per table. The first time I tried it, I didn't expect to think surprisingly good, many of the people who live here are foreign laborers who do manual work, this winter, they are willing to drink a bowl of hot porridge, eat a big meat bun, eat the body warm and comfortable, and the body is also energetic.

Many girls are tired of eating meat buns in the morning, Chen Anxiu also made a kind of wrap, the cake is made in advance, the choice of fillings are shredded potatoes, carrots, cucumber strips, sausages, poached eggs and lettuce, meat sauce and chili oil are also available, when someone buys, only need to heat the cake and filling on the iron plate, it is very convenient to take away and eat here.

Tons of food to eat, Chen Anxiu usually prepares it in advance, tears the bun into a small bite and cools it, sprinkles a handful of chopped dried fish in the porridge, and if he has a little time to spare, he will also help him make a bowl of egg fried rice or hand-rolled noodles alone.

Because he had to pick up tons to learn to paint at night, and there were only two people in the store who were too busy, Chen Anxiu decided to give up dinner, and after sending tons to the past, he looked up some entrepreneurial projects on the Internet, and now he has figured it out, with his education and current work experience, it is not easy to find a job with better treatment, I used to have this idea, but at that time, I just came out of the army, and I was a little out of touch with society, so I really didn't dare to start rashly. This job loss is just the right time. As for Dai Chenjie's side, it seems that there is no big problem now, after all, it is not the era when anyone leaves who can't live, and when she sees that the other party is boring, she slowly gives up, but she still takes good care of Tonton, probably because Tonton is the first to sign up for the shift.

Chen Anxiu took this small restaurant, the happiest thing is Tonton, he can see his father every time he gets out of school, and his father also prepared meals for him, in addition to always mentioning it in his ear, people have to have friends, friends are very important or something, there are only five people in the painting class on odd-numbered days, and after meeting for a long time, Tonton tried to contact two, one of them is his classmate named Qin Xia, this child Chen Anxiu also has the impression, that is, once it rained he went to pick up Tonton, and called him the boy who called him handsome dad.

At first, he just led Qin Xia over for lunch, and then there were a few more, and somehow, many of their classmates knew that Chen Qiuyang's father opened a small restaurant on the street north of the school, and now many children's parents are dual-income workers, and most of the grandparents who are responsible for picking up and dropping off children at noon are grandparents at home, and grandparents are old and don't know how to drive, they pick up and drop off children, either directly lead, or ride a tricycle, this cold winter wax moon, pour a stomach of cold wind back, not yet hot, and then pour a stomach of cold wind back, some parents heard that there are children in the class father opened a restaurant nearbyAfter the children ate here, they tentatively led the children to eat here at noon.

Chen Anxiu's food tastes good, although the store is simple, but he cleans it up, there is a small coal stove in the middle of the house, and there is often stewed with sugar water hawthorn and black sesame paste, and the fragrance wafts all over the house. These are all provided to the children for free, and Chen Anxiu asked Ton Ton to take a small spoon and be responsible for distributing it to them. Everyone rushed to eat always good things, and slowly they talked more with Tonton, and later it developed into a situation where they followed Tonton directly after school, and the children talked and laughed on the road.

The changes are not immediately apparent, he is still cold and indifferent most of the time, and he doesn't talk much, but Chen Anxiu feels that he is a little more gregarious, occasionally discussing a sentence or two of homework with other classmates, and lending his comic books to others to read.

The pecans, fried chestnuts and dried persimmons, jujubes and other things collected at home, Chen's mother sent some to Tianqing, who was studying in Beijing. Tianqing called back and asked Chen's mother to send some more, saying that there were classmates who wanted to buy it.

Chen's mother and Tianqing said that they were classmates and should not let the family spend that money, but there were not many at home, so she went to other people's houses in the village to buy some and send them over.

Chen Anxiu was inspired by this incident, when he used to work in the hotel, someone asked him to buy bacon or something in the village, saying that he liked this pure natural farmhouse taste, there are so many similar things in the mountains, why didn't he open a Taobao shop to sell these mountain goods? He discussed this idea with his family, Chen's father and Chen's mother also knew Taobao, but they didn't know how to operate it, but seeing that their son was so interested, they supported it, Tianyu said that the idea was good, and it happened to be able to cooperate with their courier company, Tianqing was the most direct, and said, "Big brother, my four-diamond Taobao store is provided to you free of charge." ”

Chen Anxiu tentatively set a name, called the mountain goods store of Ton Ton Family.

Everything is developing in the direction of good, the New Year is less than a month away, and Ton Ton has also had a winter vacation, Chen Anxiu is preparing to close the restaurant and return to the mountain in the past two days. It was the seventh day of the lunar month, and Chen Anxiu received a call from his mother in the morning saying that he would come back to eat Laba porridge on the eighth day of the lunar month. In the afternoon, I received a call from Chen Tianqi saying that Chen's father was hit by a car and was rescued in the Second Municipal Hospital.

What did he feel, as if he didn't feel anything, his whole head was wooden, Chen Anxiu only remembered to pick up tons and run out, until he ran to the road, before he remembered to stop a taxi.

Outside the operating room, Chen Tianqi sat outside with Chen's mother and waited, Chen's mother didn't cry, her face was very calm, but Chen Anxiu called her several times, but she didn't hear it. Tons of tons went over and took her hand, "Grandma, grandma." Chen's mother reacted and raised her hand to touch his head.

"What the hell is going on?" Chen Anxiu pulled Chen Tianqi aside to speak.

"I don't know very well, I heard the people in the village who came with me, a few days ago there was heavy snow on the mountain, there were a lot of people playing on the mountain in the past two days, the weather was good today, the second aunt was drying chestnuts in the open space at the door of the store, there was a young man who drove on the snow and skidd, and came over to the second aunt, probably a novice, and stepped on the brake into the accelerator in a hurry, and the second uncle was also next to him, and pulled the second aunt away, and he himself was hit by a car, and then ......" Chen Tianqi swallowed his saliva.

"What happened later?" Chen Anxiu was calmly a little scared.

Although it wasn't his fault, Chen Tianqi was still frightened by Chen Anxiu's demeanor and shrunk his head, "Later, that person didn't know what Lu Dao thought, after knocking down the second uncle, he actually put the car in reverse gear, I should have wanted to hit it again." "Isn't there a saying these days that it's better to be crippled than to be killed?

Chen Anxiu clenched his fists, "What about the person who drives?" There was already a trace of coldness in his tone that could not be concealed, and he would definitely not let go of the person who hurt his father.

"Don't worry, I didn't hit it the second time, and that person was almost killed by the rain, and he was being rescued in another operating room. ”

"What about the rain that day?" "Why is there no one here?"

"Taken away by the police. ”

The operation did not take long, fortunately in misfortune, Chen's father's injury was not serious, but his left leg was fractured, as long as he meditated and recuperated for a while, there was still a good hope of healing, the money that Zhang Shinian left him, Chen Anxiu has been useless, this is the first time. Dad Chen is not the most troublesome here, the most troublesome thing is Tianyu, the other party wants to sue Tianyu for intentional injury, the news from Jiang Xuan is that the person's injuries look quite serious, but most of them are skin injuries, and they don't hurt their lives at all, but the other party has a background in the family, once the case is filed, Tianyu may not be sentenced very lightly.

"But he hit my dad first. ”

"The judge will consider this when deciding, but it is a fact that the rain hurts people. ”

"What about that person, the guy who hit my dad?"

Jiang Xuan sighed, he also quarreled with his father at home about this, "It should be regarded as a traffic accident." ”

Chen Anxiu sneered, "Traffic accident?" Reversing black and white, how could there be such a funny thing?

Jiang Xuan was a little speechless, and he didn't want to do this, but the layers above were pressed down, he couldn't do anything, and he was also deeply disgusted with this feeling.

*

Zhang Shinian returned to China earlier this year, the domestic company has recently been busy with a large non-ferrous metal mine bidding, some things need him to come forward, close to the end of the year, the family visitors continue, Ji Mingcheng and his father also came over, inadvertently talked about Chen Anxiu, Ji Mingcheng said, "He seems to have heard that some things involve him recently, it seems to be quite troublesome, I have been busy recently, I haven't had time to check." ”

Zhang Shinian and his parents proposed to go out of Lu to hide for two days, and took the driver straight to Green Island City, as for why he subconsciously chose Green Island, the reason he gave himself was that it might be because of the proximity, as for some anxious emotions in his heart, he chose to ignore it.
