At six o'clock in the afternoon of the 24th, when the last student left Xingmengheng, Fang Heng held a brief meeting for everyone, except for Liang Mengqi, the partner, the other members were there.

First of all, the salary is calculated, in principle, it is generally issued on the 15th of the next month, but Xingmengheng currently has no accounting, and the New Year will be celebrated in three days. Everyone is working hard these days, and with money in hand, they are happy to celebrate the New Year.

Two full-time jobs are more than 4,000 this month, and several part-time jobs are nearly 3,000. Although Song Xiang has never attended classes, he has received the parents who have recently signed up, and he has calculated a certain commission, so his salary is not lower than others.

In addition to the salary, Fang Heng gave everyone another red envelope of 1,000 yuan.

If you have a red envelope, you can have a good year.

Of the 280,000 yuan of this income, Fang Heng took out another 200,000 yuan. The remaining 80,000 yuan will continue to be placed in the company's account, and the company's current operating funds will remain 130,000 after the salary is completed this time. The money for the red envelope was paid by Fang Heng himself.

Before taking the train at night, transfer 60,000 yuan belonging to Liang Mengqi to her. It's only been a month, Liang Mengqi's investment has paid off, and in the future, she can collect money lying down in this campus.

However, in the past half a month, Fang Heng has not seen Liang Mengqi, and he doesn't know what she is doing every day. I asked Liang Jiahao curiously before.

As a result, Liang Jiahao looked at Fang Heng cautiously for a long time, and then dropped a sentence: "Don't hit my sister's idea." ”

After Liang Jiahao left, Fang Heng pouted and said lightly: "Don't worry, she just rushes up, and I don't want it." ”

Fang Heng and Jiang Haoyu took the same train home, bunk beds. This is the sleeper ticket that Jiang Haoyu finally grabbed before, and the train ticket during the Spring Festival is not easy to buy. Twenty hours later, Fang Heng got off the train in Lan City and changed to a bus. And Jiang Haoyu's home is in Jiashi, and he still has to take a train for six or seven hours to get home.

Sitting on the last bus, Fang Heng looked at the vast world in the northwest outside the glass window, and his eyes were all yellow. Compared to Anshi, it's like two worlds.

Fang Heng loved this land deeply because his home was here, in a remote town in Tai County.

When Heng was born more than ten years ago, it was still a piece of yellow sand, the edge of the Tengger Desert. More than a decade of greening has changed the local soil structure.

In summer, there is farmland everywhere, and it is also an important grain base in the northwest.

Several kinds of lizards that used to run all over the ground, called "big-headed mantis" and "evil geckos" in dialect, have also slowly disappeared. The once capricious sandstorms and black storms never appeared again.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the bus finally arrived.

In this remote town, many shops have closed.

The bus station in the town was only more than 100 meters away from Fang Heng's house, and from a distance, Fang Heng's house was brightly lit. Fang Heng's house is a small two-story household on the street, the first floor is a shop, Fang Heng's house runs a vegetable shop, selling vegetables and fruits, spices and ordinary department stores on weekdays.

There are more than a dozen such vegetable shops in the town, and Fang Heng's parents are not very good at business, they can't compete with others, and their income is not very good on weekdays.

Because the Chinese New Year is approaching, these few days are the busiest time for Fang Heng's family, Fang Heng's parents have to get up at three o'clock in the middle of the night every day to go to the county seat to pull vegetables, and it is already seven or eight o'clock in the morning when the truck comes back. Immediately after that, customers will come to the door, and they will be busy until dark at night, and sometimes they are too busy to even take a bite of food.

But no matter how busy they are, as long as they can make money, the old couple is also very happy, and the income of the vegetable shop in the ten days of the Chinese New Year can catch up with the usual quarter.

After entering the door, Fang Heng saw that there were still some customers in the store, all of them were neighbors nearby, and they were too crowded during the day when there were many people, so they deliberately waited until it was dark to come to buy.

Fang Heng's father had already gone upstairs to rest, and he had to get up in the middle of the night to go to the county seat to pull vegetables, and he who was in charge of driving had to ensure his sleep, and at this time, it was Fang Qiao who was busy settling accounts and cashiering at the store counter on the first floor.

Fang Heng's mother Lu Xiuying is helping customers select ingredients.

Sister Fang Qiao saw Fang Heng entering the door and shouted in surprise: "Brother, you are back." ”

Fang Heng smiled and asked, "How is business today?" ”

Speaking of business, the smile on Fang Qiao's face was less than half, and she replied to Fang Heng while packing the goods purchased by customers into a large plastic bag: "This year's customer flow is much less than last year, and today's gross profit is only 5,000 a day." ”

The gross profit is only 5,000, and the net profit is no more than 1,005.

Because of the need to stock up on ingredients for the New Year, the three days before the year were actually the hottest time for the vegetable business, and Fang Heng's vegetable shop only earned more than 1,000 today. Then the total profit in the first half of this year is afraid that it will not even be 10,000.

The three of them were busy for more than ten days, and they couldn't eat well once before they earned such a point.

Fang Heng felt that it was not worth it, Xing Mengheng earned enough in a month to work in the vegetable shop for many years. He couldn't bear to let his parents suffer any longer, and he had the faint idea of closing the vegetable shop. In the future, if he sends 10,000 yuan to his family every month, Fang Heng's parents can travel everywhere and have fun and enjoy Qingfu.

Lu Xiuying heard Fang Heng's voice at this time, turned around and walked over.

"Son, you're back. There is no cooking at home, if you want to be hungry, go to Lao Ma's house to eat beef noodles. ”

Fang Heng's family must have been too busy to take care of food today, as soon as Fang Heng came in, his mother was worried that he hadn't eaten, looking at the many wrinkles in the corners of her eyes, Fang Heng didn't feel good in his heart.

The mother of the child is worried, the mother must be heartbroken for her son who is thousands of miles away, but as a son, he usually doesn't even make many phone calls, and suddenly he finds that his mother is really much older.

It's all the hard work of opening a vegetable shop in the past few years.

Fang Hengqiang held back the tears from the corners of his eyes and responded with a smile.

"I see, Mom. I'll go eat out later. ”

Fang Heng said hello to the neighbors who were shopping, and then went up to the second floor. Putting down his luggage, Fang Heng hurriedly walked down again and went out.

Lao Ma's beef noodle restaurant is not far from Fang Heng's house and is still open.

The people of Long Province have a unique emotion for beef ramen, and when they get up in the morning and eat a bowl of hot beef ramen, this kind of comfort cannot be explained by outsiders.

For lunch and dinner, beef ramen is also a staple dish. A bowl of ramen with two side dishes can be regarded as a luxurious lunch in Fang Heng's high school days.

Fang Heng walked into the noodle shop of Lao Ma's house and shouted to Lao Ma, who was busy wiping the table: "Uncle Ma, take away two thin leek leaves, and bring another pound of beef." ”

Lao Ma greeted Fang Heng warmly and exchanged a few words, which was nothing more than asking how Fang Heng was reading, and so on.

A few minutes later, the three bowls of packaged beef noodles were ready, and with the noodles and beef, Fang Heng walked home.

Mother and sister Fang Qiao hadn't eaten it at night, so Fang Heng put the beef noodles into several large bowls with plastic straps, cut the beef into small slices, and added them to the noodles. The fiery chili oil on the beef noodles is piled with beef, and it looks delicious.

Fang Heng brought out the noodles and asked his sister and mother to eat next to him first, and he looked at the cashier first.

Lu Xiuying was afraid that her son would be hungry in the car, so she asked Fang Heng to eat first.

Of course, Fang Heng didn't agree, walked to the counter, picked up an account book, looked through it, wrote down the price of these vegetables today, and then began to weigh the goods for customers.

Lu Xiuying was a little helpless, and picked up the beef noodle bowl, only then did she see the pile of beef in the bowl, and Fang Heng exclaimed: "Son, why do you add so much meat, it costs so much!" ”

There are six pieces of beef noodles in a bowl of vegetables, and 60 pieces of beef per catty, and the small meat pile in the bowl at this time makes Lu Xiuying, who is thrifty on weekdays, very reluctant. She picked up the slices of meat and put them in Fang Qiao's bowl: "Give it to Qiaoqiao, you have a long body." ”

Fang Qiao dodged away with a disgusted face, and said, "I still have a long body, if I grow any longer, I will die of fat, I will lose weight." ”

"What kind of fat you lose, you're all thin into a hemp stick, you're so tall, it's not good to look thin when you're thin."

Fang Qiao's height is 1.7 meters, and he is actually not thin, but in Lu Xiuying's eyes, being fat and white is the standard of health.

While Fang Heng was calculating the accounts, he said to Lu Xiuying: "Mom, it's just three taels of beef, you can eat it yourself." My company is very profitable now, and our family doesn't need to live too carefully in the future, if you work hard where you should spend, I will give you money, and you should also enjoy it. ”

Lu Xiuying was unhappy when she heard this, and said: "What is the meaning of hard spending, our family still has more places to spend money, marry your daughter-in-law, your sister marries, I don't know how much it will cost." I don't know about your company, but there is one thing you have to remember, you should not make money, but you must not earn it. Your mother and me, as long as I see you two doing well, I will be happy. ”

Lu Xiuying was afraid that her son would be confused and do some improper things. After all, Fang Heng made money too quickly.

At this time, Fang Qiao said on the side: "Yes, you still have to find me a sister-in-law, you can't spend money indiscriminately." ”

If it weren't for the fact that there were still customers at this time, Fang Heng would have wanted to escape.

The beef noodles couldn't be soaked for too long, and after the account in front of him was settled, Fang Heng immediately ran into the kitchen and brought out his noodles.

While a few customers were still busy choosing, he hurriedly ate it.

This long-awaited beef noodle meal bears a lot of memories of middle and high school students, and it is savored by the taste buds at this time.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the last customer left, and there were not many vegetables left in Fang Heng's house. Lu Xiuying also went to sleep, and she also had to accompany Fang Heng and his father to pull vegetables in the middle of the night.

Fang Qiao went to rest after a tired day.

After cleaning the store alone, he locked the door and came to his room on the second floor.

Flipping out of the phone, a message flashed on WeChat.

"Are you back? I'll go to you tomorrow. ”
