Seeing this thin man coming in, Li Zhang couldn't help frowning, only to see that the other party was about thirty years old, quite tall, but very thin, his eye sockets and cheeks were deeply sunken, his face was full of messy beard stubble, and a blue cloth robe was full of stains, looking sloppy, not much better than a beggar.

"Why are you here?" Li Zhang said with displeasure at the moment, because this thin man is his nominal father Li Yonghe, the original Li Zhang is full of resentment towards him because Li Yonghe gambles and doesn't care about his family, and the current Li Zhang, not to mention, just took dozens of debts for the other party today, and he doesn't have a good impression of him.

"What words? You are my son, and it is only natural for a father to come to see his son! I saw Li Yonghe smile with a dead face, without the slightest guilt of leaving his children at home.

"You really know how to choose the time, you will come when Jinshan comes!" Li Zhang was even more annoyed when he saw the other party's appearance, Li Yonghe actually knew that he had moved here, and he came back today as soon as he promised to pay off the account for him, which was a bit too coincidental.

Li Yonghe also heard the sarcasm in his son's words, and he was still a little ashamed, and he also had an embarrassed smile on his face, but soon he saw the raccoon dog inside, and immediately opened his arms and ran forward to hug the raccoon dog and said: "Do you want to be a raccoon dog, this time Dad has brought you a lot of delicious food!" ”

Although the raccoon dog is young, she can also tell the good from the bad, and she is also a little resentful of Li Yonghe for leaving them at home, but now seeing her father coaxing herself with snacks and fruits, the little girl's heart softened suddenly, and she called "Daddy" timidly, but Li Yonghe was also even happier, holding her and sitting on his lap, and then opening a few snacks he brought to feed her.

Li Zhang couldn't help it when he saw Li Yonghe's appearance, after all, he couldn't really drive the other party out as a son, and they all knew the relationship between Li Zhang and Li Yonghe, so they all regarded Li Yonghe as a transparent person, and it can be said that in the whole family, only Tanuki would say a few words to him.

At dinner, although Li Zhang didn't call Li Yonghe, the other party still looked like he was cooked, and he took the dishes and chopsticks and sat next to the raccoon dog to eat together, and he also knew that Li Zhang didn't want to see him, so he tried not to talk to Li Zhang, so as not to be bored.

After dinner, Li Zhang called everyone together, then cleared his throat and said: "I know everyone is tired after a busy day, but our opening today is very successful, I calculated the accounts just now, and it is more than the income when we were at the best of our business at the dock before!" ”

As soon as Li Zhang's words came out, the beans all jumped up and cheered happily, the reason why they worked so hard was to gain a firm foothold in Kaifeng City, so as to live a good life, and now this goal is getting closer and closer.

"But don't be too happy, we have just opened, and the reputation has not yet been fully established, so we also need everyone to continue to work hard, and I have two good news to announce!" Li Zhang was afraid that the beans would be too proud, so he first poured some cold water on them, and then planned to motivate everyone.

"Two? What's the good news? Douzi asked excitedly at this time.

"Hehe, the first one, that is, everyone is slowly growing up, and sometimes you also need money, such as ugly girls, you want to buy some clothes and accessories, and you occasionally want to buy some snacks and fruits, so I decided to start this month, at the end of each month, I will send you a hundred yuan of pocket money, but you can buy food with this money, but you must not gamble, you know!" When Li Zhang said the end, his eyes were extremely stern, and he even took a special look at Li Yonghe, who came over cheekily, but the other party didn't even blush as if he hadn't heard it.

"Great, I'll have money to spend in the future!" When Douzi and Huozi heard that they were going to send money, they almost took the lead in jumping up, and the ugly girl and the others were all jumping with excitement, but the wild dog remained calm, although this kid was also poor, but he didn't seem to be very interested in money.

"Big brother, what about the second piece of good news?" After Douzi was excited, he hugged Li Zhang and asked again, the first good news is to send money, and the second good news is definitely not bad.

"The second one is more long-term, before we could only be regarded as a small fight on the dock, but now we have opened all the stores, this store is not my alone, so I decided to divide the store into everyone, let everyone take a little share, so as to accumulate some capital for myself to marry a wife and have children, or a dowry for marrying." Li Zhang spoke again.

Although Li Zhang's braised meat business came up with it, they also made a lot of efforts to beans, and now these children are still young, maybe a full meal can satisfy them, but people always have to grow up, will they still be satisfied with a full meal then? Rather than having a conflict over this interest, it is better to allocate their shares as soon as possible.

"Big brother, this store was originally opened by you, so you don't need to give us a share, right?" Douzi and Li Zhang have the deepest feelings, and when they heard Li Zhang's words, they were the first to object, in his opinion, they were already very satisfied to be able to eat and clothe, and they never thought about what to occupy.

Douzi's words have also been recognized by other people, after all, they are still children, even if they have seen the ugliness of many people in the world because of poverty, but their minds are still not as complicated as adults, but Li Zhang waved his hand to interrupt them at this time and said: "You don't have to refuse, your brother still has to settle accounts, not to mention that this store is the result of everyone's efforts, so I have decided that everyone must have a share!" ”

Seeing that Li Zhang's attitude was so resolute, Douzi didn't dare to say anything, and then Li Zhang took the initiative to distribute the proportion of the shares, but Douzi and Ugly Niang proposed to let Li Zhang and Tanuki take half of the share, and the remaining half of them were divided equally, but Li Zhang didn't want to take up so much, and Tanuki was young, and his contribution to this store was not as big as that of Ugly Niang, so in the end, they discussed for a long time, and finally decided that Li Zhang accounted for 20% of the shares.

As for the remaining eighty percent, Li Zhang originally wanted to distribute them according to their work, such as Douzi, Ugly Niang and Huozi, the three of whom are the oldest, and who contribute the most, and should have a little more share, but they didn't agree, and in the end it was divided equally among the twelve children, and Li Zhang also wrote thirteen contracts according to this distribution, and then asked everyone to press their handprints, and each of them had one copy, which was considered a voucher.

However, when Li Zhang and the others distributed the shares in the store, Li Yonghe next to him was anxiously scratching his ears and cheeks, and signaled Li Zhang with his eyes several times, after all, in his opinion, this store was originally his son's, of course, it was also his own, but now Li Zhang wants to give the store to others, which makes him not in a hurry, but Li Zhang ignored him at all.

After everyone collected the contract, Li Zhang spoke again at this time: "There is another thing I want to tell you clearly, today everyone also saw that Jinshan came, I promised him to pay back ten times a month, a total of sixty-five times, this money will be recorded in the account, and it will be deducted from my dividends in the future, and if one year is not enough, it will be deducted for two years, and sooner or later this money will be repaid, so you don't have to worry!" ”

"Big brother, this account doesn't have to be cleared so much, right?" Douzi heard this and said again, he felt that he had taken advantage of Li Zhang, so Li Zhang's family debts did not have to be borne by him alone.

"Douzi is right, we are all a family, why do you know so well?" At this time, Li Yonghe suddenly interjected, Li Zhang's allocation of half a day just now, but he didn't have his share, obviously he didn't want him to interfere in the affairs of the store, but now seeing Li Zhang such a "loser", he finally couldn't help it.

However, Li Zhang ignored Li Yonghe at all, and glanced at the beans again and said: "This matter will be done according to what I say, and from tomorrow, after closing every night, I will teach you to read and settle accounts, if you can't learn, then your pocket money will be deducted, don't blame me when the deduction is over!" ”

As soon as they heard that they couldn't learn to read and calculate accounts to deduct pocket money, they all wailed, in fact, Li Zhang had also taught them literacy and arithmetic before, and they were very excited at first, but after learning, they found that reading was a very boring thing, so some people began to be lazy, and a few of them still can't count a hundred, let alone settle accounts, but now Li Zhang has linked reading and pocket money, and now they have to learn if they don't learn.

Li Zhang didn't care about the beans' objections, after finishing speaking, let everyone wash up and get ready to sleep, Li Yonghe wanted to say a few words alone with Li Zhang several times, but Li Zhang ignored him, in fact, part of the reason why he divided the shares in the store was also to prevent Li Yonghe, the money earned in the store was not his own, and he even had to take out his own share to repay the debt alone, so that Li Yonghe would have no reason to ask for money for himself, after all, with the other party's bad gambling nature, how much money was not enough for him to squander.

Seeing that his son was unwilling to pay attention to himself, Li Yonghe also felt very bored, and finally saw Li Zhang and they all went to sleep on the second floor, and he also went upstairs with a cheeky face, after all, he had nowhere else to go, but the bedding at home was originally a set for one person, and there was no superfluity at all, and in the end, it was the raccoon dog who looked at him pitifully and gave his futon to Li Yonghe, and she slept with the ugly girl.

As soon as Li Yonghe lay down, the snoring sound of the mountain sounded, Li Zhang slept lightly, and a little bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder, what he was most afraid of was that others snored, because he couldn't help but count, and the more he counted, the more energetic he became, and finally stayed up until midnight before falling asleep in a daze.

However, just when Li Zhang was asleep, he suddenly woke up for some reason, and the whole person sat up all of a sudden, and the bright moonlight reflected in from the window, which made Li Zhang suddenly find that there seemed to be one less person sleeping in the outer hall?
