The message of reform and opening up is like a spring breeze slowly blowing all over the north and south of the river, people's consciousness is gradually liberalized, gradually, more and more business is done on the street, selling steamed buns, kang baked cakes, wontons, noodles, dumplings, all kinds of snacks have sprung up, as if they appeared in the streets and alleys overnight.

Shi Dayong's twist business was directly impacted, the turnover was even more precipitous, and the amount of wheat was directly reduced from more than 500 catties per month to more than 200 catties per month.

The days are comfortable for more than half a year, and now it is a new worry, the oil pile in the face will not be sold there for a while and a half, Shi Dayong wants to open up a new way, but it seems that none of them are in line with the situation at home, at least to rent a store to do business with soup, the old old at home, the small can not leave home to do business outside, just when he was worried, a sudden good news suddenly made him refreshed.

Dayong is very good in the unit, and he knows that a young man in his twenties at home has no job, and Dayong has also said hello to the comrades in the unit.

As soon as Shi Dayong parked the car, Li Weiguo saw it and walked out with a tea jar, "Master Shi, I guess you should come back today, I originally thought that if you don't come back, I will go to your house to talk to my sister-in-law in a while." ”

"What's the matter with me?" Anyone who can smoke is polite when he sees a cigarette, and Shi Dayong is no exception, but his hands are full of oil, and he is afraid that Li Weiguo will dislike his hands for not being clean, so he knocked his index finger next to the cigarette case a few times, popped out a cigarette and handed it to Li Weiguo.

"Don't smoke, don't smoke, what about tea, Master Shi, do you drink it? I'll pour you a drink. Li Weiguo lightly blocked with his hand, and compared the two hands, Shi Dayong was obviously a perennial heavy worker, his hands were rough and dark, and they were full of calluses, while Li Weiguo's hands were slender and the bones were distinct, and he looked like he was holding a pen all year round.

"I won't drink anymore, I'm in a hurry to go home and see how the business has been going for the past two days." Li Weiguo didn't smoke, Shi Dayong directly put the cigarette in his mouth and lit it.

The two stood by the car and chatted, and Li Weiguo asked, "Master Shi, the twist business is okay." ”

Shi Dayong spit out a long smoke ring, frowned his sword eyebrows, and said with a sad face: "It's not good, there are too many small businesses now, and the three adults in the family are circling around the twist, and they don't earn enough hard money, I think I'll stop doing it when the noodles and oil hoarded at home are gone." ”

"I have something I want to tell you." Li Weiguo took a sip of his teacup, "Today I went to the county for a meeting, and I heard that the new cement plant in the county has been completed, and new workers will be recruited soon. ”

"Really!" Shi Dayong was pleasantly surprised, lest he heard it wrong, he forgot to smoke the cigarette, and just hung it on the corner of his mouth, he stared at Li Weiguo intently, his ears were ridged, "The local government is going to recruit workers?" ”

"Really, I'll help you inquire, and I'll start signing up tomorrow." Li Weiguo stretched out his hand and pointed to the north, "Look over there, it's not far from the root of the mountain, and in order to get the stones, I deliberately chose to go there." ”

Following the direction of Li Weiguo's finger, Shi Dayong held a cigarette in his mouth, put his hand on the pergola, and glanced at it from afar, and really saw from a distance that there seemed to be a tall tower with a spire, and the more he looked at it, the more he looked at it, the more pleased he became, his facial features were stretched, and he turned around to shake Li Weiguo's hand: "Thank you so much, I usually don't pay attention, but fortunately you told me." ”

"You're busy making money every day, how can you pay attention to these little things." Li Weiguo teased.

Shi Dayong shook his head with a smile and sighed: "Don't laugh at my brother, seriously, you think about me for everything, I'm a stupid person, and I can't say good words if I'm clumsy, but I have it in my heart, and I remember it in my heart." ”

"Look at you, is this little thing worth taking to heart? Master Shi, I won't tell you more, there is still a report I haven't finished writing yet, so I'm leaving. Li Weiguo withdrew his hand and waved, and several big black marks on his white hand just now instantly appeared.

Shi Dayong spread out his black paws and looked at it, scratching his head embarrassedly, "I'm happy to patronize, forget about this." ”

Li Weiguo smiled indifferently, Shi Dayong is kind, has a strong sense of responsibility, and most importantly, filial piety, but he is also a little careless.

Shi Dayong's handsome face was full of joy, and Wang Ying saw it as soon as he entered the house, "Eh, Dayong, you went out to pick up gold ingots today, why are you so happy?" ”

"Of course I'm happy, and I'm happy if you listen to it." Shi Dayong bent down and picked up Shi Xiang, who was learning to walk, "Kiss my three noses first."

Dad wants to kiss his big nose, this is almost a compulsory homework for Shi Dayong to come back every day, the delicate and simple little girl hurriedly raised her little face, pouted her little mouth and touched her nose to her father's mouth, "Daddy kisses, Dad kisses." ”

Shi Dayong pecked Shi Xiang's big nose twice, and pinched the tip of her little nose, "It's still my daughter." ”

"Dayong, don't sell it, tell your mother about the happy event?" Sun Xiufang didn't accept the soles of her shoes anymore, threw the work in her hand into the sewing frame, and walked straight over.

"Mother, the local government is going to recruit workers, the cement factory, and the registration will start tomorrow." Shi Dayong remembered that he hadn't washed his hands yet, so he hurriedly handed Shi Xiang to his mother.

"Really!"

"Really!"

This is really good news, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law said in unison, the two of them were worried about the recent business, there were suddenly several more twist sellers on the street, there were more competitors, and the business at home was even worse.

There is a saying that the wife who sells salt drinks light soup, Sun Xiufang feels distressed while eating, if it weren't for the fact that she can't sell it because of the resurgence, she is reluctant to eat it, where is eating twist in her eyes, it is eating money, counting one is a dime.

The two didn't dare to rub the new twist again, so they just waited for Shi Dayong to come back from shift and discuss with him what to do.

Now it's okay, Sun Xiufang breathed a sigh of relief, it's really a blind finch who can't die of hunger. She was feeling cornered, but she didn't expect another village.

"What's good, there is no business at all these days, and the twist flowers can't be sold, and the family hasn't done it for a few days." Wang Ying plucked the leaves on the celery, separated them from the stems, fried dried tofu on the stems for a while, mixed the leaves with some noodles and steamed, and mixed with garlic is also a dish.

Life in the world, the word food and clothing, the word food is placed in front, it can be seen that food is the most important, Wang Ying feels that he is busy chattering all day long, and he is worried about cooking all day long, and he doesn't know what to do.

"I'm not doing business, what did the fourth child do?" If he usually knew that he hadn't done business for a few days, Shi Dayong would definitely be anxious, today is different, he is going to recruit workers soon, anyway, the business won't be able to do it for a few days, and if it stops, it will stop.

Sun Xiufang held Shi Xiang's arm, lest she fall, "Your four brothers can't sit still at home, so they may have wandered around." ”

Shi Xiang just learned to walk, stumbling and unsteady, but she wanted to walk to her father, and she didn't let her grandmother hug her, struggling to pout down, her two little arms opened, and her little feet were about to run to Shi Dayong, "Dad, Dad."

"My goodness, you're going to run away before you know how to go?" Sun Xiufang didn't dare to let go at all, hunched over and followed Shi Xiang for several steps.

The child is really a day at a time, the last time he was stationed on duty, Shi Xiang didn't know how to walk, this saw that he was about to run, Shi Dayong hurriedly squatted down, made a gesture to catch Shi Xiang, and encouraged him with a strong encouragement, "My three noses are really capable, this will all go, come on, come to Dad." ”

There was still about a meter away from Shi Dayong, Shi Xiang broke away from his grandmother's hand and pounced on his father's arms, Shi Dayong took half a step forward and took Shi Xiang directly in his arms, Shi Dayong held Shi Xiang and turned in a circle, "Yo ~ Fei ~ Hahaha ......"

"Giggle." The little girl giggled excitedly, her little face was white and tender, revealing two rows of neat and white small shell teeth, which looked very cute.

Shi Dayong turned around a few times and was dizzy, so he stopped in a hurry, Shi Xiang hadn't played enough, and kept patting his father's arm, "Feifei, Dad is still flying." ”

Shi Dayong pecked Shi Xiang's big nose several times, with a kind smile in his eyes, "My good girl, you let Dad rest and fly again." ”

Shi Dayong took Shi Xiang to find a horse to rest for a while, only then did he remember that he didn't see An An, and asked Wang Ying, who was washing vegetables, "Where is An An, are you still at Brother Zhang's house?" ”

"Well, I was thinking about picking her up when I was ready."

Since the family started to do business, I took care of the children when I was busy, I thought it was better to be smaller, I lay down on the bed every day to eat and sleep, and I woke up to eat, as long as I didn't let her go hungry, it would be okay to change her clothes in time, it was An An, no matter how good the child was, she couldn't sit still for a long time, and she stood alone on that string, once, let Cui Yunxiang see it and felt that An An was quite pitiful, anyway, one of her children was also watching two children, so she volunteered to take An An to her home, and then pick it up when Wang Ying was not busy.

An An is also used to going to Cui Yunxiang's house every day, although the business is not busy now, An An's heart is wild, and he is not willing to stay at home at all, and after breakfast every day, he takes the initiative to run to Zhang's house with his small bag.

Shi Dayong felt that he was really lucky, he met good people everywhere, his fellow countryman Brother Zhang, as well as the leaders and colleagues in the unit, all helped him in his most difficult time, but the more he owed this favor, the more he owed, and he didn't know when he would be able to pay it off.
