In the process of Yu Xinhe's vigorous construction of the new house, although the general was still in a mood, it gradually became closer to Yu Songdong, and it was no longer sad at night. It still refuses to eat, hangs its ears all day, looks listless, and soon loses weight significantly. The whole family was so distressed that they couldn't do it, but there was nothing they could do.

Yu Yueyue specially brought it a bowl of meat-stuffed dumplings to coax it, and when she came from afar, the general changed her depressed mood, jumped up from the nest, and rushed to Yu Yueyue's side. But soon his mood darkened, and he whispered a "hum", and returned to the nest with a happy expression, only eating a few dumplings, and then he was motionless again.

She said to Yu Songdong, "You have to think of a way, it will be terrible to death if it goes on like this." Just now, when he saw me, he jumped up from his nest with joy, but when he came to me, he was sad again. ”

Yu Songdong said, "Auntie, I understand what you mean. I was so dizzy that I forgot about it. Xiaoxue is really a bit like you, it may be thinking of you as Xiaoxue. Tomorrow happens to be the weekend, so I'll take it to Lin Xue to try. ”

Pouring the dumplings into its food bowl, Yu Yueyue touched its head and said, "The general is obedient, as long as you eat the dumplings, you will ask your uncle to take you to your aunt tomorrow." The general looked at her quietly for a while, perhaps it saw the sincerity in Yu Yueyue's eyes, and really stood up and swept away the bowl of dumplings.

Yu Yueyue was overjoyed, and at this moment, Yu Xinhe came back. Hearing what Yu Yueyue and Yu Songdong said, she sighed and said, "That's the only way, you can take it to try it tomorrow." There was no place to stay in the factory, so I looked for Xiaozhuang and asked him to think of other ways. ”

After breakfast the next day, Yu Songdong pushed the bicycle out of the door, and the general happily jumped up and sat high and firmly on the back seat. Yu Yueyue handed over a small burden to Yu Songdong, and seeing his suspicious look on his face, she whispered, "I made two sets of autumn and winter clothes for Lin Yatou." ”

When he came to the county garment factory with the general, it was already ten o'clock in the morning. When registering in the communication room, a tattered and squeaky Yuejin light passenger and cargo vehicle also stopped in front of the door, and Zhuang Ba jumped from the driver's seat, "Big brother, why are you here?" ”

Yu Songdong said that he would bring the general to see Lin Xue, and by the way, he would send something to Lin Xue. Zhuang Ba pulled a beautiful girl who got out of the passenger seat and introduced, "This is my girlfriend, named Wen Xiaolin." We also came to see Lin Xue. After a pleasant greeting, the girl drove to the dormitory first, and Zhuang Ba and Yu Songdong followed behind with the car.

Yu Songdong told the general about the situation again, Zhuang Ba hugged the general's neck and said, "Good boy, you are righteous enough, and it is not in vain that your master and your Aunt Lin love you." ”

When I came to the dormitory area, I saw that Lin Xue and Wen Xiaolin were already standing below and waiting. As soon as the general saw Lin Xue from a distance, he "swished" out, and Lin Xue squatted on the ground and was almost knocked down by it. She hugged the general's neck tightly, and the general kept rubbing her head with his head, tears flowed from his eyes, and his throat whimpered.

"Oh my God, it's whining!" Coco Chen also touched the general's head, so moved that he wanted to cry. Yu Songdong, Zhuang Hu and Wen Xiaolin all saw this touching scene, which made people can't stop their noses from sour.

At this time, Zhang Ling, who was standing behind, reminded, "Lin Xue, the eldest brother is also here." ”

Only then did Lin Xue let go of the general and met with Brother Yu Songdong and Zhuang Ba. Everyone went to the dormitory and sat down, and the eldest brother handed the burden to Lin Xue, saying that it was given by Aunt Yu Yueyue. Lin Xue opened the baggage, and inside were two sets of brand-new, novel autumn and winter clothes. She said embarrassedly, "Big brother for me Aunt Xiexie, I have clothes to wear." ”

Lin Xue asked Yu Songdong again, "Big brother, I heard that Brother Zhuang said that you were arranged to be the director of the supply and marketing cooperative, right?" ”

Zhuang Ba hurriedly said, "The deputy director who presides over the work has the same thing as the director, and there is just one procedure." It's really fucking uncomfortable for these dick people, just get the director and it's over. ”

Yu Songdong talked about the general's mood again, and several girls were moved to tears. Seeing the general sitting obediently at his feet, rubbing her pants with her neck from time to time, Lin Xue was full of sadness, "I really want to keep it by my side, but this is a factory dormitory, I can't keep it all day, I'm really worried." ”

Wen Xiaolin said, "Xiaoxue, how many times have I told you, you should move out quickly, my house is in the courtyard near the Guanhe passenger ferry, and the environment is very good." Since I lived with Brother Zhuang, I have been empty there. There's everything in there, all three of you girls move in, you help us take care of the house, it's not too far from the factory, it's close to us. ”

Zhuang Ba patted his head and said, "That's it, look at you girl, you are not in a hurry, I told you a few times, see how I forgot it." This house is actually quite suitable for you girls to live in, it is the most haode community in the county, and it is a place where rich people live before liberation, and it is absolutely safe. If you want to say that it is not a good place, the only drawback is that it is an old house, there are mice in the kitchen, and you can't catch it, so you can't raise a cat. ”

Yu Songdong also said, "It's right to move over and take care of each other." In particular, the general can also follow you and solve a big problem, and we can rest assured. Lin Xue saw that her eldest brother had also spoken, so she had to go to see the house with everyone.

This is an old house made of blue bricks with a courtyard wall, close to Guanhe Road, and the courtyard gate is open in the small alley in front of the door, which is extremely quiet. The house has three main rooms and two smaller wings. One side room is used as a kitchen, and the other is used for sundries. The yard is not big, the corner of the yard is a toilet, which was later rebuilt, and it is a squatting pit that can flush water, which is very hygienic.

Before the liberation, the people who lived in this area were all squires and businessmen with heads and faces in the county. The alleys and streets outside the courtyard are paved with large green bricks, and the street trees on both sides of the street are tall and thick French plane trees. Walking north from this community, less than a kilometer, is the Guan River passenger ferry, with excellent environment and scenery.

Lin Xue was very satisfied, and Zhang Ling and Chen Wen were also so happy that they clapped their hands.

The bonsai and bonsai in the courtyard are lush, and it is clear that there are often people who take care of them. Wen Xiaolin said, "These plants were planted by my mother, and she likes to raise flowers and grasses, and I haven't had time to move them out yet." If you like it, stay it. If I don't like it, I'll move my yard to make it easier for my mother to take care of it. ”

Lin Xue hurriedly said, "No need to move, no need to move, they are so suitable for this yard, usually we water them, and the eldest mother misses them, so you can come to take care of them and visit them at any time." ”

Zhuang Ba saw that Lin Xue liked it, and Wen Xiaolin was overjoyed, and Yu Songdong felt much calmer. After seeing the house, everyone happily went to Zhuangba's restaurant for lunch, and then moved after the meal.

Zhuang Ba Hotel has changed its name, called "Zhuang Catering", the entire three-story building has been Zhuang Ba Pan down, the store has doubled, and the grade has also gone up. The first floor is all for dining, with more than 20 tables in the lobby and more than a dozen private rooms on both sides and inside. The second and third floors are the housekeeping department, with dozens of rooms, and business is booming.

Zhuang's catering has become the first of the four leading catering industry in the county. The other three are Guanhe Hotel, the County Party Committee Guest House, and Mochou Home. Among the four, Zhuang's catering service is the most professional, the dishes are good, the management is better, and of course, the benefits are also the best.

More than a dozen male and female waitresses, including the security guards in front of the door, were all young men who had graduated from high school or above and looked good at the high salaries that Zhuang Hu and Wen Xiaolin were looking for. Zhuang Hu also specially took them to Guangling and entered the famous Huaiyang restaurant "Caigenxiang" for two months of professional training. And the chef is also a full set of specially hired people from Guangling City.

Huge investment, first-class soft power, and unconventional decoration have made Zhuang's catering a well-deserved leader in the catering industry in the county. Important events in the county are generally arranged in Zhuang's catering. Sometimes, even if it is arranged in the county party committee guest house for official business, the dishes will be transferred from Zhuang's catering. In the past, this honor was only enjoyed by the historic Guanhe Hotel.

At noon, there were bicycles parked in front of the door for dinner, and there were also more than a dozen cars, such as Lada, Polonaiz, Lada Niva, old Shanghai sedans, 212 jeeps, etc., all of which belonged to county-level organs, enterprises, and institutions. Entering the hall, there were immediately many guests coming in and out, greeting Zhuang Ba from time to time, and business was obviously booming.

During the banquet, Yu Songdong quietly asked Zhuang Yu, "How is your investment in the south?" ”

"Big brother, you don't know, southerners are ruthless in business. I can't get them, both stores are losing money, and they can't sustain themselves. I'm shrinking my front, preparing to retreat. After this blow, I have learned some truth. I want to take root in my hometown first, study the tricks here, and then I, Hu Hansan, will still have to kill back. Zhuang Hu said through gritted teeth.

Hu Bing sighed and said, "To keep this store, Xiaolin got on the bus first and then bought a ticket, which is indispensable." Everyone was in a daxiao, Wen Xiaolin blushed, and hurriedly lowered his head and only cared about adding food to the general, who ate with a round belly and was very comfortable.

It turned out that Zhuang Hu failed to invest in the south and owed a lot of debts, and was once collected and hidden, and even his house was controlled by creditors. When she was desperate, Wen Xiaolin, a beautiful girl who lived in the county seat, took the initiative to let Zhuang Hu hide in her house on Guanhe Road.

Wen Xiaolin is a preschool teacher, and when Zhuang Huzi was facing the risk of bankruptcy and was at the lowest ebb in his life, he took the initiative to quit his job and help Zhuang Hu take care of the hotel. Zhuang Hu pursued Wen Xiaolin for two years, but Wen Xiaolin never left and did not accept it clearly. Because he used to be a gangster, Zhuang's mother didn't look down on him at all.

This time, Zhuang Hu lived in the house, and Wen Xiaolin openly cohabited with Zhuang Hu against his mother's wishes. This pair of almost desperate Zhuang Hu is like an inspiration from the depths of his soul, and it also makes him feel like he has been reborn. The next day, as soon as Zhuang Hu arrived at the hotel, he called a meeting with everyone:

"I can't hide it from everyone, my investment in the south failed, and I lost a lot, if this hotel is not operated well, it will not be able to keep it, I can't live with everyone. At my most difficult time, the girl I had pursued for many years suddenly accepted me, and even preferred to get on the bus first and then buy a ticket to accompany me. I'm so sorry for her if I don't live like a person! ”

Although later, due to concerted efforts, the hotel finally survived and became more and more prosperous, but the allusion of getting on the bus first and then buying a ticket is naturally known to everyone in the store. No one made fun of her with this, on the contrary, everyone was more afraid of Wen Xiaolin's management and trusted her character more.

After lunch, he moved, Hu Bing took people and cars, and it was all done in one trip. Everyone was putting things together, and the generals were happily coming in and out, and they were very excited. It has become clear that it will not be separated from the little master again. This clean, spacious and bright little yard will be its new home in the future.

Lin Xue specially prepared a nest for the general in the room next to the kitchen where the miscellaneous items were placed. After the nest was finished, as soon as the person stood up, the general jumped forward, lay down comfortably, and rolled in it, making Lin Xue and Wen Xiaolin tremble with laughter.

Wen Xiaolin said, "The eldest brother is the heir of the Yu family, so let's give this small courtyard a name." ”

Yu Songdong didn't shirk either, thought for a while and said, "The three of you are nervously reviewing and preparing to go to the power university, I think this courtyard is called 'no idle fasting', what does Brother Zhuang think?" Everyone said yes in unison.

Zhang Ling suddenly asked, "Brother Zhuang, are you familiar with the Mo family who runs the transportation company?" "Zhuang Ba said that he is not familiar, he often comes to my store to eat, what do you say.

Lin Xue hurriedly wanted to stop it, but Zhang Ling was very spicy and had already blurted out, "His son has a few stinky money at home, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old kid, who pesters Xiaoxue in the factory all day long, staring at him to death, he hates people too much." ”
