When they reached middle age, the brothers were both laid off. With no diploma and no skills, the two of them are ready to open a hot pot restaurant. After going around the family, the two of them scraped together 100,000 yuan, and the hot pot restaurant opened smoothly, and the thriving business is also worthy of the name of the hot pot restaurant: full house.

The elder brother is responsible for the procurement of dishes in the back kitchen, and the younger brother is responsible for the operation and management of the front office, and everything is in order.

Half a year later, my brother had an affair with the waitress in the store, and my sister-in-law decisively chose to get out of the marriage siege, and also won the custody of her daughter who was in high school. The elder brother was sad while preparing for his wedding with the waitress. The cancellation of the wedding originated from 80,000 yuan, to be precise, it was actually the waiter who disappeared without a trace with the 80,000 yuan bride price that her brother was going to give her. At the same time, the elder brother, who lost his love and marriage, went to the pink foot bathroom one after another under the cover of night, looking for the love and passion he longed for in his heart.

After three months of quiet life, the younger brother fell in love with the hall manager in the front room: a woman under thirty years of age, with a beautiful appearance and a figure, but also a husband and children. The manager resolutely chose to leave the house, but the younger brother was reluctant to have a wife and children. After three years of hard work, my younger brother still didn't mean to marry her, and the manager was desperate and went to Dongguan alone.

During the epidemic in 2020, the hot pot restaurant could not be maintained and closed its doors. As for the reason, the store's accountant said that the landlord suddenly raised the rent and offered a price that they could not afford. The brothers had to change places and start anew, still doing their old jobs.

In 2021, a new hot pot restaurant replaced Mantanghong and opened its name Hongmantang, turning from the former manager to the CEO. In less than a year, the signboard of the red hall was ruthlessly taken off, and it instantly became a postpartum recovery center. Once again, the manager left, and this time no one knew where she had gone.

The business is still as hot as ever, and it is being sent every day.

It's another year when the Spring Festival is approaching, and the whole city is shrouded in the festive atmosphere of the New Year, it seems that only my brother is an exception, sometimes boring, and sometimes he sighs.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, my brother walked alone on the lively streets and wandered aimlessly. The sound of firecrackers in his ears, the fireworks behind him were gorgeous, and under the dim street lamp, he and his slender shadow moved slowly. It wasn't until he passed by the postpartum repair center that he stopped, took out a crumpled tissue from his trouser pocket and began to wipe the corners of his eyes, shivering for a while. It took a long time to regain his composure, and he muttered to himself: People, you can believe anything in this life, but you can't believe in love.
