Chapter 7: An Unexpected Ending

Today is the weekend, so I woke up early as usual and worked as usual. After a few days of exercise, Liu Yi is not only handy at his current work, but also able to cope with it, and the turnover in the past few days is relatively stable and there are not many ups and downs, so Liu Yi's heart is still very satisfied, and if it continues like this, the income in January can be much higher than going to work.

But today there is one more expectation in Liu Yi's heart, his girlfriend Deng Ting is about to come over, let her see the situation she has worked hard for, and she is indescribably proud in her heart.

At about 9 o'clock in the morning, Deng Ting and her mother came together. At that time, Liu Yi was in his free period, and when he saw that his future mother-in-law was coming, he didn't hurry up to catch up, "Auntie, you are here too!" ”

Then Deng Ting, who was standing next to her aunt, muttered, "Why don't you tell me in advance if Auntie is coming, you don't see that you are not prepared, and you don't have time to buy food at noon, it seems that you have to arrange it with you, so you can go shopping for vegetables."

"How can I have time, I went out early in the morning today. You don't know what to say, I have to sleep lazily on the weekend, my mother is very strange, so I told her, who would have thought that my mother would also come over to see" Deng Ting made a helpless look.

"Come on, let's take a look, so as not to worry about us all the time, but it feels a little sudden, and you are ready to make some achievements? It's only been a few days now, and I've been saying everywhere that I thought I was showing off!" Now that it's a fact, let's accept it.

It's another busy day, maybe Deng Ting brought luck to Liu Yi, today's business is particularly good, the aunt and Deng Ting who came to see it were all put on aprons and came to help, serving bowls, wiping the table, and collecting money were a mess.

In the evening, Deng Ting and her aunt did not go back, Liu Yi settled today's income as usual, a total of 2,192 yuan, it may be that Deng Ting brought luck or it may be the weekend reason, today's turnover is hundreds more than usual. This result was quite pleasing to the aunt and Deng Ting, and the aunt immediately agreed to Deng Ting's resignation to help Liu Yi run the noodle restaurant together.

With Deng Ting's joining, and the recruitment side also quickly got results, the applicant was a middle-aged woman in her forties, surnamed Sun, and Liu Yi called her Aunt Sun.

Aunt Sun looks more shrewd and capable, what do the whole person do in the store at that time, many times we don't need to go into detail, it seems that she is a veteran who has worked in the catering industry before, that is, the monthly salary is 200 more than the average waiter's salary, plus only food and no accommodation, the monthly salary adds up to 1,500 yuan.

My aunt and uncle temporarily replaced her for seven or eight days, and when she saw that the personnel were all found now, she was ready to go home with a relaxed heart, after all, her home was in the countryside, and if she didn't go back for many days, she must have piled up a lot of things, and when she went back to deal with it, her mother stopped her and went inside.

Yesterday, my mother discussed with Liu Yi that my aunt had to express it when she came to help for many days, and finally decided to give my aunt a thousand yuan.

But my aunt didn't agree to say anything when she saw her mother giving her 1,000 yuan, she said, "You have only opened the store for a short time, and you have just started to make a profit." Which other store do you think gives it like this"?

In the end, it was easy to say that he had collected 500 yuan, which also included filial piety to his uncle, otherwise he didn't want it, which made Liu Yi and his mother cry and laugh, so they had to forget it like this. But more of it is indescribably moved, and I secretly think in my heart that all the relatives and friends who have helped them must not forget their roots if they have the ability in the future, and they must repay each other when they can reciprocate.

The small shop with complete staff, after the gradual run-in, the work efficiency is also a straight line, and the daily turnover can be basically guaranteed to be about 2,000 yuan.

But the good times didn't last long, maybe the business of the small shop was too good, and two restaurants were built one after another, one fast food and the other was also a noodle restaurant. It's nothing, and although business has been affected, it's still within the limits of what it can bear.

More troublesome things appeared, the city management here is not very standardized, now some people see that the catering business here is good, it occupies the sidewalk and green belt next to it, and also opened a restaurant, there are small noodles, and also make steamed buns, and there are also those who sell boxed lunches, anyway, there are all kinds of things.

For such changes, they all happened quietly in a month's time, and such changes are tantamount to devastating for Liu Yi's Liu Ma Noodle Restaurant. The original location of Liuma Noodle Restaurant was originally five or six meters away from the alley, and the two newly opened restaurants were located at the alleyway, but later the shantytown restaurants built illegally were all gathered around the alley, almost surrounding the alley.

At first, there were repeat customers who came to eat noodles, but every time they ate noodles, they reported to Liu Yi and them, "Coming to eat with you is like a war, with twists and turns, and the road surface is also very poor. ”

and suggested that Liu Yi complain to the chengguan, in fact, Liu Yi really complained, but the higher authorities didn't know what was going on, and the situation didn't improve anyway.

In this way, Liu Yi's noodle restaurant operation can be said to be a bleak one, and gradually repeat customers are not coming back, coupled with labor wages, the current situation is completely barely surviving, and Aunt Sun sighs when she sees this situation when she has nothing to do now, not to mention my mother.

I don't know what's going on with Deng Ting, many times it seems that she has something to say to me, but every time she sees Liu Yi's gaze, she dodges it again, and she looks like she wants to stop talking. A few more days passed like this, and this afternoon, Liu Yi stopped Deng Ting, "What's wrong with these past few days, and you don't speak?" Can you tell me anything about it?"

"I told my mom about the current situation, and my mom meant that I had nothing to do here, and told me to find a job and go to work." I wanted to interrupt her several times, but Liu Yi listened to her slowly.

"What is this, any difficulties are temporary, I believe that I will get through this difficult moment, and I will be able to live a better life in the future, and now you will retreat when you encounter a little difficulty"

"It's not like that, do you know that there aren't so many people in the store now, and it's idle to be idle, so why don't you find a job, at least you can earn more, right?" Deng Ting now confidently said to Liu Yi.

At that time, Liu Yi didn't think so much, and spoke without thinking, "I'm not afraid that you will be idle, I can give you a better future." ”

Deng Ting was also angry, "You're not afraid, I'm still afraid, everyone has something to do, only I'm idle, what is this?" When others ask, what do you say, just say that you raise me, how do you raise me in this situation, you still have to see the reality clearly, think more about how to run the noodle restaurant well, and reverse the current situation. ”

She continued, "Actually, when I first came to the noodle restaurant, I was really confused by the daily turnover, and I walked around the small shop every day, rain or shine. But in fact, this is not the life I want, it's okay to make money, everything feels bearable, but now the noodle restaurant has a few customers a day, but it still has to be so hard, is it worth it? ”

Liu Yi was speechless at the moment, thinking of the perfection at the beginning and the bleakness now, could it be that God doomed him to have no future in his life, and make a situation of leaping into the dragon gate, so that Liu Yi was intoxicated by the dream, and then fell to the ground fiercely, so that the humble him knew the cruelty of reality.

With a sense of powerlessness, he nodded decadently, "Then you can do it yourself, I have worked hard in the noodle restaurant this month, and it is not easy to survive, go to my mother and tell her about it, otherwise I will have to be severely criticized at that time."

I don't know what Deng Ting said to Liu Yi's mother, her mother kept her again and again, saying that if she can't do this, she can do something else, and it's not easy to find a job now, isn't it very good for the two of them to be together? In this way, on the surface, Liu Yi expressed his understanding of Deng Ting's departure, but in his heart, Liu Yi still one-sidedly thought that Deng Ting was escaping from the battle, and could only share wealth and prosperity but not suffering, and could only enjoy and not endure hardship.

Another month, and the situation has gone from bad to worse. After Deng Ting went back, I heard that she was busy running around outside for half a month, and she couldn't find a job, but later her relatives introduced her to a real estate landscaping to learn to be a data clerk, which was considered stable.

Due to the bad business of the noodle restaurant, I want to talk to Aunt Sun about the attrition, but I don't know how to say it. It's been two months since Aunt Sun arrived at Liu Yi's noodle restaurant, and she hasn't just finished paying Aunt Sun's salary.

looked at Aunt Sun and stopped talking. After the end, he still said ruthlessly, "Aunt Sun, you see that our noodle restaurant is not doing well now, and there is nothing to be busy with in normal times, and if it continues like this, it may be closed."

handed the words to her mouth, but she still didn't directly say layoffs, and it was really hard to say it directly. With a skilled hand like Aunt Sun, it is still easier to find something to do outside, but once Liu Yi lets go of it, it will be quite difficult to find it even if the business gets better in the future.

However, Aunt Sun is also an understanding person, "Xiaoliu, I know your current situation. To be honest, I wanted to tell you about it when I was free, and I have been here for two months today. I'll tell you clearly, it's not a matter to look at the noodle restaurant like this, I know that you have some ideas, but it's hard to speak with kindness in your heart. Actually, I probably still know that everyone gets along well here for two months, unlike me who was called by the boss like I worked in other restaurants, you are good people. If I am still here in this situation, it will make me ashamed of myself, ashamed"!

Aunt Sun looked quite emotional, but Liu Yi also felt very uncomfortable, and she didn't know what to say. Without waiting for him to speak, Aunt Sun continued, "I went outside to take a look in the past two days, and it is relatively easy to find a job like mine, and I work hard everywhere, but I may not be happy with you."

"Aunt Sun, I'm so sorry. If the back hall improves, I'll ask you. ”

"Okay, okay...... Don't forget, my phone is left with your mother, and you must call if you have something."

Saying goodbye to Aunt Sun and guarding the empty storefront, the places that used to feel big palms now have a feeling of emptiness.

As a result, Liu Yi's small shop did not last long, a few days later, the district government posted a notice, at that time Liu Yi only knew that the alley around the road was built indiscriminately, and the city management did not stop it, it turned out that all this land was requisitioned and developed by the government, and immediately there were construction units entered, and began to complain about those illegal buildings Now I think about it is funny, now not only the illegal buildings will be demolished, but the noodle restaurant operated by Liu Yi and the buildings on both sides of the entire alley will be demolished as a whole.

After opening the noodle shop for more than three months, Liu Yi still has a profit on the whole, plus the store was requisitioned and part of the compensation was paid, which is not bad, leaving close to 20,000 yuan. But this also reminded Liu Yi that it is not safe to do a small business in the city, and there are too many people who will rush to follow the trend when they see that they are making money, and then there is the rapid development of urban reform in mountain cities, and it is not good to say that new policies will be introduced tomorrow when they look very stable today. Liu Yi is really tired of the main urban area of the city.
