In the following days, Yu Mingyue and Yu Mingyan went to school on time before 8 o'clock in the morning and before 2 o'clock in the afternoon every day. After school at 12 o'clock in the afternoon and 4:30 in the afternoon, I can eat delicious hot dishes and hot meals when I get home.

This kind of happy life of a normal primary school student makes Yu Mingyue very happy and emotional. After all, in the memory of Yu Mingyue's previous life, she and Yu Mingyan's primary school life was not so comfortable, most of the time the two of them were out of school, not only did they have to cook on the fire in a hurry, but even after eating, they both had to help the family do what they could.

Yu Mingyue remembers very well that during the more than two years she spent at her grandfather's house, she and her cousin not only had to help weed in the fields in their spare time after school, but also had to pick up the dead branches of eucalyptus bark that fell on the side of the road on the way home every day to use as firewood. After all, at that time, her grandfather and uncle had to be busy farming and farming, and they rarely had time to care about these little things, and her aunt was a lazy person, who only took the children to eat and scolded people every day, and didn't care about anything else.

When Yu Mingyue let go of a qiē and enjoyed this happy life fiercely, Yu Zhifen's family went to the city on September 12 to open a small shop that sold vegetables and dried miscellaneous local products, and Li Guoying, who had just dropped out of school and returned home, lived in the city to guard.

On Saturday on September 17th, Yu Mingyue followed into the city to see once, although the small shop has no name, but because Li Guoying is very good at talking and doing things, and stays in the store from morning to night every day, the business of the small shop is very good.

Yu Zhifen's small shop not only sells dry miscellaneous mountain goods, but also sells vegetables, so when Yu Zhiqing collects vegetables every day, he has to help collect four or five hundred catties of vegetables and send them, Yu Mingyue was still a little worried that her grandmother was unhappy at the beginning of the month, but when Yu Mingyue came to the city on Saturday, she saw Kong Mingying mention Li Guoying, and praised Li Guoying for her filial piety and carefulness with a smile, and Yu Tianzhou also praised Li Guoying for being diligent and sensible, Yu Mingyue was relieved.

Yu Mingyue was a little curious, and gossiped to Li Guoying's shop, and asked Li Guoying how she coaxed her grandmother so well by bragging, Li Guoying thought about it and said not too much:

"Hehe, it's nothing, that is, every day I take time to cook, help your grandparents sweep the floor and wash the clothes on weekdays, and when you watch TV at night, you can help your grandma pinch her shoulders and rub her sore feet or something, your grandma she mentions you every day, saying that you are often there, and you also help her pinch her shoulders and pound her legs every day, and now that you are in school, she is not used to it."

"Oh, hee-hee, so that's the case, I said no wonder, as soon as I came just now, my grandfather and grandma kept praising you, you didn't say that my grandma misses me every day, I thought she only liked you, and didn't feel sorry for me." Yu Mingyue pretended to be jealous and teased Li Guoying. In fact, she misses her grandmother very much these days, with her cousin helping her filial piety by her side, and coaxing her grandmother to be so happy, she can finally relax a little.

Li Guoying was a little embarrassed, pretending to be angry, she slapped Yu Mingyue on the head and said: "I'm not like you, a little sycophant, to slap her, when my grandmother was alive before, I was used to helping her pinch her shoulders and hammer her back every day, don't think about it." ”

Actually, Li Guoying is a little weak-hearted, although as she said, when her grandmother was alive, she often pinched her shoulders and hammered her back with filial piety, but Kong Mingying was not her own grandmother after all, she would be like this, and when she first came, she saw that Kong Mingying didn't like her a little, she thought of Yu Zhifen at home before, how Yu Mingyue coaxed Kong Mingying to be happy, so her heart was horizontal, just like she used to take care of her grandmother, she gave Kong Mingying a wash at night, and after seeing Kong Mingying wash her face and soak her feet, she went to pinch Kong Mingying's shoulder.

turned out to make Kong Mingying very happy, soaking his feet while muttering about how his little granddaughter Xiaoyue was, and his attitude towards Li Guoying was obviously a lot closer, so from that day on, Li Guoying, who has always been diligent and discerning, not only took on the responsibility of cooking two meals a day, but also gave Kong Mingying a wash every night and pinched his shoulders and rubbed his legs.

But with such careful thinking, where would Li Guoying let Yu Mingyue know, listening to Yu Mingyue's joke, she was a little weak-hearted.

The two cousins were selling things in the store, laughing at the same time, when it was almost eleven o'clock, Yu Zhiqing came to help Li Guoying look after the store, and asked Li Guoying to go home to cook.

Yu Mingyue didn't follow to cook, but stayed in the store and told Yu Zhiqing about the matter over Chen's bend.

More than half a month has passed, whether it is Yu Zhihui or Chen Qiang, who was determined to open a store without fear of all difficulties, they have never been to Yu Mingyue's house, and the more Yu Mingyue thinks about it, the more worried she becomes.

Yu Zhiqing is also worried in his heart, but he is busy every day, and he has no time to go to Chen's house for the time being, after Yu Mingyue proposed it today, Yu Zhiqing immediately said: "It's okay, if your father and your uncle can sell the vegetables earlier, I will go home with your father and go to your second aunt's house, anyway, we have to take care of this matter, and we can't let those people bully your second aunt's family like this." ”

On the same day, because it was a weekend, the dishes in Yu Zhizong's house and Kong Xingming's Kong Mingjiang store were sold out before two o'clock in the morning.

Yu Mingyue habitually sat in the passenger seat, thinking that when she was eating at noon, she saw Niu Guizhi coming out of a room with the door closed, and today Niu Guizhi and Kong Xingming were not in a hurry to go home, Yu Mingyue suddenly felt a little uneasy.

"Dad, when I went home to serve dinner at noon today, I saw my aunt come out of a room, and she and my uncle didn't come home today, she didn't want to live here." That room, but it was reserved for his cousin Chen Qiang, if Niu Guizhi occupied it first, the more Yu Mingyue said, the more uneasy she became.

The roar of the tractor was loud, but Yu Mingyue asked next to her, and Yu Zhiqing still heard it clearly. It's just that when it comes to this, Yu Zhiqing is also very upset.

Half a ring, Yu Zhiqing said: "On Wednesday, your aunt seemed to be uncomfortable, so she asked your uncle to buy some things in Wang Ji and make a bunk in that house. ”

"Ahh Although she was prepared, when she heard this, she still exclaimed in surprise: "What is she doing here, can't let her occupy that house, it's for my little brother Qiang." Yu Mingyue was so angry that she stammered a little, no wonder when she went to school in the morning these two days, she didn't see her uncle collecting vegetables in front of her house, she thought she was going home to carry vegetables, but it turned out that she stayed in the city to accompany her daughter-in-law, this wife is not good.

Yu Zhiqing didn't answer, he was worried in his heart. Although Kong Xingming is his brother-in-law, compared to his own nephew who is in difficulty at home, he has the heart to protect his nephew. With that cow cinnamon branch being lazy all day, most of the time during the day, she let Kong Xingming, who was next to her, take care of the department store, she either walked around the street with a big belly, or ran back to the house to sleep, or ran to Kong Mingying and Yu Tianzhou's house, turned on the TV to watch, which made Kong Mingying very unhappy.

In the past few days, Kong Mingying has been chanting in front of him a few times, asking him if Yu Zhihui's family has not entered the city? Are you going to live there? Who is that house for? He couldn't answer for a while, which upset him.

Yu Mingyue looked at Yu Zhiqing's black face, and didn't ask again, after thinking about it, she sighed: "Alas, anyway, as long as my little brother Qiang comes to the city to open a store, that house must let my little brother live in it, my grandmother has agreed to this, if I let Niu let my aunt live, my grandmother will definitely be unhappy, maybe she won't agree." If my aunt really wants to live in the city in the future, I'll let her sleep in her department store. ”

Yu Mingyue didn't ignore Kong Xingming's side, to put it deeply, in fact, Yu Mingyue's relationship with Kong Xingming, who raised her to adulthood, was deeper, and Chen Xiaoqiang was lighter, but when it came to Niu Guizhi, Yu Mingyue was very annoyed in her heart, and she didn't want Niu Guizhi to be happy.

Seeing that Yu Zhiqing didn't answer, and his face was embarrassed, Yu Mingyue thought angrily in her heart, Niu Guizhi, this dead mother-in-law, will die if she doesn't do it, she is really uneasy.

Thinking of the daytime, it seems that Kong Xingming has always been guarding the department store, Yu Mingyue suddenly realized that she didn't know whether her uncle's decision to let Niu Guizhi enter the city to open a store was right or wrong.

Yu Mingyue was very upset, very depressed, and didn't want to talk all the way, Yu Zhiqing was also annoyed by this recently, and he was worried about his nephew Chen Qiang, so he didn't speak again, and only cared about driving all the way.

Originally, Yu Zhiqing and Yu Mingyue had made up their minds that as soon as they got home today, they were going to go to Chen's house with Yu Zhizong, but when Yu Zhiqing was still parking, Yu Mingyue saw Chen Qiang running out of her door.

"Brother Xiaoqiang, when did you come?" Seeing Chen Qiang's smile, Yu Mingyue was very happy at the same time, it seemed that her cousin had come to discuss the opening of the store.

"I came early in the morning, but when I arrived, my aunt said that you had just left for a while." After Chen Xiaoqiang and Yu Mingyue finished speaking, they stepped forward to greet his uncle Yu Zhizong, and Yu Zhiqing also parked the tractor in the simple temporary carport.

Yu Zhiqing heard Chen Qiang's voice early in the morning, came out of the small courtyard where he parked, saw Chen Qiang, only looked at it for a moment, and smiled happily: "Hehe, Xiaoqiang is here, I haven't seen you for a few years, not only have you grown into a taller young man than me, but even your appearance has changed, if you meet you on the street, I don't dare to call you." ”

The uncle and nephew haven't seen each other for nearly six years, but the blood relationship is there, plus Chen Qiang often listens to Yu Zhihui, who goes back from his mother's house, to talk about these relatives, and Yu Zhiqing often hears Yu Zhihui mention the situation of a pair of children, so at this time, the two seem very close when they talk.

Even Yu Zhizong, who has always been humble and doesn't like to talk, saw Chen Qiang just now, although he didn't joke like Yu Zhiqing, when Chen Qiang called him, he also nodded with a smile, but like a normal elder, he patted Chen Qiang's back very closely, and then said with a smile: "Hehe, you've grown taller again, your grandfather must be happy to see it." ”

Subsequently, Kong Xiaoyu also came out, and beckoned everyone to come into the house for dinner together, Kong Mingying and Yu Tianzhou were not in this formation, Yu Zhizong and the Kong brothers also entered the door to eat a few meals, Kong Xiaoyu came out this time, and pulled the stubborn Kong Xingjiang while greeting, Kong Xingjiang did not resist, and the group entered the door with a smile.

After entering the stove room and sitting down, Chen Qiang didn't wait for Yu Zhiqing to ask, he took the initiative to say the intention of this time, as Yu Mingyue thought before, he did come over to discuss the details of opening the store, but, to Yu Mingyue's surprise, Chen Qiang wanted to open a store, and did not get the support of his grandfather and two uncles, and not only did not support it, but also very opposed, for this matter, the family has been quarreling and fighting every day for a while.

When Chen Qiang went out at dawn today, he was beaten with a stick by his grandfather, and then scolded by his grandmother, saying that if he walked out of the house today and went to seek refuge in a foreign family, he would no longer be a descendant of the Chen family, and he would not have half of the family property in the future.

Chen Qiang was reluctant to say this, but when he came to Yu Mingyue's house in the morning, his face was still red and swollen, Kong Xiaoyu found out and asked bitterly, Chen Qiang was just an 18-year-old boy, and he was sad for a while, so he told Kong Xiaoyu the truth, and at this time at the dinner table, Kong Xiaoyu also told the situation.

"Then Old Man Chen, this is going against the sky!" Yu Zhiqing was so angry that he couldn't do it, and when he saw Kong Xiaoyu giving him a look, he felt that it was not appropriate to shout out Old Man Chen in front of Chen Qiang, so he smiled a little embarrassedly.

patted Chen Qiang's back next to him, and comforted: "Xiaoqiang, you are relaxed, don't say anything else, your grandfather and I and your uncle are still here, I will never let your grandfather and them bully your family so much, after eating for a while, your uncle and I will go back with you, this family is divided, they are really lenient, it's a big deal that we go to the township leader in a lawsuit, since Chen's grandfather is in front of the family and has this head, he always has to give an explanation, the country has laws, it's not that they say they don't give it, they can count if they don't admit it." ”

said to the old man Chen that he would not give the family property, and did not recognize Chen Qiang's words, Yu Mingyue, who knew some laws, did not go back, and saw that Yu Zhiqing was going to find someone to fight, so he hurriedly persuaded: "Dad, forget it, what is the quarrel with them now, I think it is better to discuss it now, let my brother Xiaoqiang open the store as soon as possible, as for what kind of family property or something, as you just said, the country is governed by the law, not what they say, and when it is really necessary to talk about this matter in the future, let the law directly take care of them." ”

Yu Mingyue's idea is very simple, to quarrel now, in addition to making the people on his side more angry, there will be no result in the quarrel, it is better to wait until the future when it comes to the matter of dividing the family and land, and then find the relevant part to deal with it, all say that it is difficult for the Qing official to decide the family affairs, but there are also provisions in the law on the division of the family and the land, and it is better to act according to the regulations than to quarrel blindly now.

Yu Mingyue persuaded her, Kong Xiaoyu also persuaded her, even Kong Xingjiang, who has always talked little, said that Yu Mingyue's words were reasonable, and Yu Zhizong, who had no idea, would only pat Chen Qiang's back from time to time and say: "Xiaoqiang is fine, it's okay, listen to your uncle, uncle has no idea, but your brother-in-law has, he said how suitable, we will do it, ah, it's okay"

Seeing Yu Zhizong, who was not smart and had no ideas, caring for his nephew in such a way, several people next to him were a little sour in their hearts, Yu Mingyue lowered her head a little sadly, and Yu Zhiqing endured her sour eyes and patted Yu Zhizong's thin back vigorously, Yu Zhizong turned his head and smiled at him innocently, and the friendship between brothers was unspeakable.

Now, Yu Zhiqing also slowly calmed down, and he didn't plan to go to Chen's bend to support his second sister and nephew immediately, and directly at the dinner table, he asked about Chen Qiang's plan and discussed the matter of opening a store.

Although 18-year-old Chen Qiang has a junior Chinese certificate, after all, he is a young man who has never even been to the district city and has never seen much of the world, and finally Yu Zhiqing gave the idea after some thought, and let Chen Qiang open a restaurant selling rice noodles and stir-fried vegetables on the side of the road on the west side of his house.

Originally, when the three families first discussed the matter of renting a shop, they unanimously decided that no fire could be lit in the rented shop, that is, no people could eat or drink, but now Yu Zhiqing also had a lot of considerations when making this decision.

The first one is that the shops at the end of the hospital that Yu Zhiqing's family have been rented out for a while, and only four shops are left near the west end of the import. These shops are a little far away from the hospital and the community, and whether they sell groceries or other groceries, business may be worse.

Anyway, Chen Qiang is also his own nephew, and then he will set up a shed in the courtyard behind the shop, build two or three stoves, and buy two honeycomb coal stoves.

The most important thing is that in this part of Changshou Road Street, except for the wasteland above the highway where Boss Huang repaired the house, and opened a few restaurants, no one has opened a restaurant on both sides of the street, and this restaurant is opened far away from the entrance of the hospital, Yu Zhiqing thinks it is more suitable, and Yu Zhiqing recently learned about it from Boss Huang, and knows that the profit of opening a restaurant is very large, and Yu Zhiqing has also heard Yu Zhihui say over the years that Chen Qiang has helped his grandmother cook since he was in elementary school. The only advantage of the sour and stingy Mrs. Chen is that she is very good at cooking, Chen Qiang has learned from her since he was a child, and I heard that he also has good cooking skills.

Such a good business, if you don't let your own nephew do it, who will do it? And the shop belongs to his family, and he doesn't agree with other tenants to light a fire to open a restaurant in the future, but he is willing to let his nephew open a restaurant, and he is willing to build a kitchen for his nephew in his yard, what's wrong?

This last point is a little bit of a thought, Yu Zhiqing will definitely not say it to anyone, but after listening to Yu Zhiqing's analysis and plan, Yu Mingyue and Kong Xiaoyu both agree with letting Chen Qiang open a restaurant that sells rice noodles and stir-fried vegetables.

Yu Mingyue had also heard Yu Zhihui say that Chen Qiang's cooking skills were good, but Yu Mingyue hadn't tasted it after all, so after slowly calming down from the initial happy excitement, Yu Mingyue was still a little worried about Chen Qiang's cooking skills as a young man, after all, no matter how good Mrs. Chen's skills were, she was just a country old woman, what tricks could she make? Can she be more particular than her grandmother? Yu Mingyue didn't believe it.

"Brother Xiaoqiang, it's good to open a restaurant according to my father's construction, but what kind of dishes will you cook, the mouths of people in the city are still a little picky."

Seeing that Chen Qiang was asked, his face was nervous, Yu Mingyue was afraid of hitting his confidence, and hurriedly added: "Otherwise, anyway, in the next few days, my father will have to build a stove room for you, and the shop will have to be simply renovated, you can stay at my house these days, my mother and I will teach you a few dishes every day, if it really doesn't work, it's a big deal that after the store opens, you can hire a chef with good skills." ”

Who knows, before Chen Qiang nodded, Yu Zhiqing next to him smiled and said: "Xiaoyue, what are you doing, your Xiaoqiang's craftsmanship is absolutely fine, don't you know, his grandmother was the daughter of Chen's landlord's family back then, a mouth is more picky than your grandmother, and her cooking skills are better than your grandmother's, you"

Yu Zhiqing didn't speak, Kong Xiaoyu pulled him with a straight face: "What do you say in front of the child?" ”

Yu Zhiqing came back to his senses, Fang felt as if he had said more, but he was a little embarrassed and argued with a forced smile: "Hey, hey, hey, isn't this all what my grandmother Xiaoyue told me when I was young, Xiaoyu, what do you think, my mother has enough skills in cooking, Old Chen, that Xiaoqiang's grandmother's skills are stronger than my mother's, my second sister also said that Xiaoqiang has won the true inheritance of his grandmother, how can this craftsmanship be bad, but Xiaoyue's mention just now is not bad, these Xiaoqiang are at home, follow Xiaoyue and your little aunt to learn a few more dishes, Let me tell you, my Xiaoyue is not lazy in cooking, she has a few very good dishes, not to mention that her grandmother can't compare, and even the high-end restaurants in the city may not be comparable. ”

Chen Qiang had long heard that Yu Mingyue was very good at cooking, so he didn't think it was strange, but when he heard that Kong Mingying's skills were not as good as Yu Mingyue's, he felt a little strange in his heart, he used to think that his little cousin's cooking skills, like him, were learned from her grandmother, but although Chen Qiang was so strange in his heart, he didn't ask, just after Yu Zhiqing finished speaking, he nodded and agreed.

Yu Zhiqing was very happy that Chen Qiang listened to him like this, and at the moment, in order to make Chen Qiang feel at ease, he said with a big package: "Good boy, don't worry, there is a brother-in-law, don't worry about the decoration or the cost, you can stay in my house for a few days with peace of mind, and the brother-in-law will help you Zhang Luo, and you will open a store directly as soon as you enter the city." ”

Seeing Yu Zhiqing's heroic appearance, Yu Mingyue was a little funny, but Chen Qiang was so moved that after thanking him, he patted his chest and promised that he would live up to the help of Yu Zhiqing's family, open a store and work hard to make money, and pay back the money paid by Yu Zhiqing as soon as possible.

In recent years, Yu Zhiqing planned that kind of small restaurant, in fact, it only cost two or three hundred yuan, the family business is good for a while, Yu Tianzhou and Kong Mingying give Yu Zhiqing more pocket money from time to time, Yu Zhiqing has been drumming for a while, and he is not worried about when his nephew will pay him back, but at this time, when he heard Chen Qiang's serious words of thanks and assurance, he was still very relieved, and said a few words of encouragement to Chen Qiang.

Having said this, everyone else finished eating, Kong Xingjiang had to rush home and follow the field to do farm work, so he went back directly, Yu Zhizong thought in his heart that he wanted to take Chen Qiang home to Yu Tianxiang to see, so he didn't leave, and followed directly into the hall, and several people sat in the hall and talked.

Yu Zhiqing asked for a while about the specific situation of Chen Qiang's family, Chen Qiang replied seriously, and in the end, there was nothing to say, Yu Zhiqing saw that Yu Zhizong had been doing it beside him, and after a little thought, he understood that Yu Zhizong wanted Chen Qiang to go and see Yu Tianxiang.

"Hehe, Xiaoqiang, my uncle is okay today, let's go to your grandfather's place and talk to your grandfather, your grandfather hasn't seen you for many years." Yu Tianzhou and Kong Mingying are not at home for a while, and when Yu Zhiqing is empty, he also likes to hug his two sons with Kong Xiaoyu after dinner and lead Yu Mingyue to Yu Tianxiang's house and talk.

"Hmm." Chen Qiang answered, stood up, and took the two catties of rock candy he had originally brought to Yu Tianxiang on the table in the hall, and a pair of cloth shoes that his mother had made for Yu Tianxiang, and then went to Yu Tianxiang's house with him.

When Yu Tianxiang saw Chen Qiang, he almost couldn't recognize him, until he heard Chen Qiang call him grandfather, he was so happy that he couldn't even take care of the twins who were hugged by Yu Zhiqing together, and pulled Chen Qiang to look left and right, and muttered vigorously: "Hehe, Xiaoqiang has grown taller, grown up, and grown stronger, okay, okay, grandpa hasn't seen you for many years, if you meet you on the road, I really can't recognize you."

The tone at the beginning was very similar to when Yu Zhizong first saw Chen Qiang earlier, but what he said later was the same as what Yu Zhiqing said, the family happily entered the stove room and sat down, when Yu Tianxiang heard that Yu Zhiqing had arranged for Chen Qiang to open a restaurant in the city, he was very happy and relieved, and praised Chen Qiang for his success now, and kept telling Chen Qiang to listen to Yu Zhiqing's words and not to make trouble for Yu Zhiqing.

Because he was afraid that Yu Tianxiang would be worried, whether it was Yu Mingyue, Yu Zhiqing or Yu Zhifen, they had not told Yu Tianxiang about the real situation of Yu Zhihui's family before, and now Yu Tianxiang didn't know that Yu Zhihui's family was bullied very badly, and on the way before, Yu Zhiqing also told Yu Zhizong that Yu Zhizong couldn't tell Yu Tianxiang about this, and everyone didn't want Yu Tianxiang to worry about this, so they still hid it from him, and several people stayed at Yu Tianxiang's house for more than an hour, and Yu Tianxiang was always very happy.

When someone was about to come to sell fruit mushrooms in the afternoon, worried that Kong Xiaoyu would not be busy at home, Yu Mingyue followed Yu Zhiqing home, and Chen Qiang stayed behind, preparing to accompany Yu Tianxiang to have dinner before going to Yu Mingyue's house to live.

When it was almost dark, when Yu Mingyue's family of three was having dinner with Pu Xiaoqiang, Chen Qiang was sent out by Yu Zhizong. R1152
