"Mom thinks it's okay, but there's no need to call it that." She's not very used to it either.

Shuangshuang: "..."

When a family of four arrived at the county seat, they looked at the increasingly prosperous and lively streets, and on both sides were vendors selling things, selling fried melon seeds, selling candy and snacks, selling fruits, and selling braised vegetables and cold dishes.

Someone dragged a table out with pieces of watermelon on it, and each watermelon could be cut into eight pieces and sold by the pieces, and each piece was worth a penny.

"Mom, I want to eat watermelon." Shuangshuang looked at the red watermelon pulp on the table and couldn't help but swallow.

Cheng Zheng directly paid for four watermelons.

Aunt Wang held the watermelon and slowly ate the flesh of the watermelon with her old teeth, and a sweet smell gradually poured into her mouth.

"Now I can buy watermelon on the road and eat it, it's so nice and convenient." After eating a piece of watermelon, Aunt Wang couldn't imagine how good her life was now.

"Mom, I'll try the food in that restaurant later, I heard it's even better."

Two rooms located in the depths of the alley have been converted into private restaurants, and Jian Lu groped for them and saw the signboard at the entrance - Yongan Hotel.

It was eleven o'clock, and it was not yet lunchtime, but there were quite a few people, and a girl who looked about the same age as Shuangshuang was asking about the number of guests.

"Auntie, how many of you are eating?"

Before Jian Lu could reply, they both rushed to answer, "Four people." ”

The two little girls were about the same height, looked at each other and smiled slightly.

"Then come in with me, there's a seat in the house."

This is a renovated restaurant, one is used as a kitchen, the other is a lobby, and eight tables and chairs can be placed in the lobby.

The place is much smaller than the state-run hotel, but it can be cleaned up neatly, Jian Lu deliberately glanced at the table There are no oil stains on the table, and it is very clean.

"Mother-in-law, uncle and aunt, what do you want to eat?" The little girl is very capable, and can basically take on the responsibility of welcoming guests, bringing people into their seats, and ordering food.

Shuangshuang sat on a stool with his father, supporting his chin with both hands, "Sister, why don't you ask me?" ”

The little girl was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Then what do you want to eat?" ”

Both thought for a moment, "What's the best thing to eat?" ”

"Our steamed grouper, belly and loin, coconut chicken, braised pork, and seafood soup are all signature dishes." After looking at Shuangshuang, she added, "You can try Qingbu Liang, it's delicious." ”

"Okay, let's have the signature dish." Cheng Zheng made a direct decision and ordered all the dishes that the little girl said.

The speed of serving food is average, and Mrs. Wang took a look at the back kitchen, which is open, "I inquired, the restaurant opened by two people, and a family of three are busy here, and the business is very good, so busy that they can't rest." ”

"Grandma, I seem to smell it all, it smells so good."

Eat ready-made meals naturally fragrant, both especially like to go to the restaurant, the mother's cooking is delicious, but to be tired of the mother, the restaurant is different, sit and wait for a while to eat, it's really good.

Five dishes are served one after another, the steamed grouper fish meat is firm, the belly and waist are bursting with a pot gas, it is very energetic, even a few people who are not very spicy have a bowl of rice, but the coconut chicken is different from the usual food, the chicken here tastes better than the chicken they usually buy, and the chicken is fragrant and tender.

"Ask them what kind of chicken they bought. This chicken is really different. ”

"Well, that's what I thought."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were eating the dishes and wanted to go together.

She held the bowl and drank most of the bowl with a small spoon, and when she watched her sister pass by, she said to her with her mouth, "It's delicious." ”

After eating, the family of four was quite full, and they were full of praise for this private restaurant.

And this is not the same, the state-run restaurant pays the money and food stamps before serving, here it eats first and then pays, and Cheng Zheng and Mrs. Wang feel fresh.

Cheng Zheng was about to pay, but Jian Lu stopped the person and began to dig out his bag, "Deputy Brigade Commander Cheng, I'm going to have a treat." ”

Cheng Zheng was stunned, "It's still so clear?" None of us can pay the same. ”

How could he have a reason to let his daughter-in-law pay.

"Hey, don't, I'll pay for it, you wait for next time." Jian Lu said that she wanted to celebrate the signing of a big order, or insist on coming by herself.

Just as Jian Lu was paying, as soon as she went out, she found that her mother-in-law had already chatted with the proprietress in the back kitchen.

Not only did he inquire about his surname, where his family was, how old he was, what grade the child was, but he even mentioned helping to buy chickens, "Your chickens are really different." The taste is too good, if you don't bother, can you help us bring two? ”

The proprietress surnamed Li, heard the words and was also kind, "Cheng, if you like it, we just eat together, if you want to buy this chicken, you will come next week, seven yuan for a chicken." ”

"Done."

Jian Lu admires her mother-in-law's social skills, which is worthy of the level of an aunt.

Turning his head again, Shuangshuang and the boss's daughter also chatted.

"Sister Jingjing, are you in the second year of junior high school? I'm going to be in my first year of junior high school right away, which school are you in, oh oh, I know. ”

When Cheng Zheng beckoned his daughter to leave, the two girls who met for the first time were already a little inseparable.

"Shuangshuang, goodbye, you come back next time, I'll send you a drink of Qingbuliang."

"Okay, thank you, I'll bring you a coconut to drink!"

Cheng Zheng didn't know how they had developed so fast, especially since Shuangshuang was already thinking about bringing snacks to others.

Didn't you just come out for a meal?

Back at the family home, the Cheng family happened to meet an acquaintance at the family home.

Looking at the familiar figure in front of him, Cheng Zheng patted his daughter's little head, "Shuangshuang, look at who it is?" ”

Both of them looked in the direction of their father's finger and looked at a tall man in front of them, a little familiar.

"Brother Dunzi!"

Shuangshuang hadn't seen Brother Dunzi for a long time, so he immediately jumped on the spot a few times, put his hands to his mouth and made a trumpet shape, "Brother Dunzi, Brother Dunzi!" ”

Dunzi, who was walking in front, heard the movement behind him, turned around and looked, "Shuangshuang! ”

After approaching, Dunzi called people one by one, "Uncle Cheng, Aunt Lulu, Granny Wang, are you entering the city?" ”

"Yes, did you come back from the county seat? Oops, then we should be on a boat, but I didn't see it. Jian Lu found that the pier had grown taller and opened a little more, and he was already a handsome guy.

"Yes, there must have been too many people to notice."

"It's sturdy, huh?" Cheng Zheng pinched Dunzi's arm, "Not bad." ”

"Hehe, hey, busy, busy with a lot of food." Dunzi is already only a little shorter than Uncle Cheng.

"Brother Dunzi, what are you busy with? Why don't you come back to see me? Shuangshuang looked up at Brother Dunzi and pulled his clothes.

"Busy making money." Dunzi poked Shuangshuang's cheeks and said with a smile, "I brought you something good!" ”

"Wow!" His eyes lit up like sparkling gems.

When Dunzi returned home, Liang Haisheng and Feng Xiuhui were the happiest, Feng Xiuhui looked left and right around her son, just to see if her son had lost weight, and whether he was bumping into anything.

The Cheng family who came to Liang's house to sit also chattered together.

Aunt Wang watched Dunzi grow up, and also regarded him as half a grandson, squinted her eyes and said slowly, "Dunzi, you have to let your mother rest assured when you go out, otherwise your mother will worry about you at home." ”

"Granny Wang, I know that I have no other advantages, just one, which is particularly reassuring."

Feng Xiuhui slapped her son a few times, "You're poor." ”

Liang Haisheng was excited without his daughter-in-law, but he seemed to be a lot more stable when he saw his son go out, and his eyes were full of relief.

"It's good to rest when you come back, and don't be in a hurry to go out again, right?"

"There's no hurry, I can stay at home for a month or two this time."

Dunzi ate the noodles under his mother, the familiar taste, and suddenly felt that this was the best noodle in the world.

Last year, Dunzi made some money selling semiconductors in the county seat, and the following year, he followed someone he knew to go to other places, and Feng Xiuhui was worried, but now she was relieved to see her son come back well.

When the guests left, Dunzi eased up a little at home and handed Feng Xiuhui a yellow passbook.

"What is this for?" Feng Xiuhui took the passbook in confusion, opened it, and instantly widened her eyes, "Son, this... This, where did you get so much money? ”

1234, 4 zeros! There are a total of 20,000 in the passbook!

Feng Xiuhui had never seen so much money in her life, and even the money she had saved in her own passbook with Liang Haisheng's salary and allowances for many years was only about 3,000.

But there are 20,000 dunzi?!

"Mom, I earned it, this money is for you and Dad!" Dunzi puffed out his chest, and there was some pride in front of his mother, as if he was waiting for praise.

"Why did you go? How can there be so much money? ”

Where is Feng Xiuhui willing to accept it, she has a hot hand for this money.

Liang Haisheng was more calm, looking at such a large number and just having a serious face, "You didn't do anything bad, did you?" ”

"Dad, what do you want?" Dunzi poured another glass of water and poured it violently, "I do business with people, do you know how many good things are in the port city?" Everyone wants to bring it and sell it, and as long as they can get it, they can sell it. ”

"What's this? Sounds so unstable. Feng Xiuhui always feels uncomfortable, she also likes money, and the faster the money comes, the more uneasy she becomes.

"Mom, don't worry, we still have a business license, no problem."

Dunzi widened the hearts of his parents, so that he could talk about it, and he tossed so much that his mouth was dry, and then he got out.

This time, he followed a few brothers he knew to go to S City and G City, and found a lot of business opportunities between the two places, and now there are too many people who are willing to spend money to buy things, and as long as they can have goods, they will not worry about selling them at all.

Although he couldn't take care of eating when he was busy, and he often had a blue and purple body when he carried the goods, he was happy in his heart, counting the money every day, watching the numbers on the passbook increase rapidly, and his heart was satisfied.

He brought back a lot of good things for his family, and he didn't forget his neighbors.

I brought gifts to Uncle Xu's family and Uncle Cheng's family, all of which were good goods from Hong Kong City.

Before Hengheng returned from summer vacation, Dunzi went to Uncle Cheng's house next door, carrying a bag with a lot of things in it.

"Aunt Lulu, I don't know how to pick clothes, just ask about the most fashionable now, I will take them for you and my mother and Aunt Yuhe, you can choose by yourself."

"You still don't know how to pick? Everything looks good! Jian Lu felt that this person had really grown up, and he thought about it thoughtfully, looking at the clothes brought by Dunzi, which were fashionable and exquisitely cut, and they looked better than those sold in department stores.

Dunzi brought a lighter to Uncle Cheng, and now Cheng Zheng still uses matches for smoking, and there are very few lighters sold outside.

"Dunzi, you don't have to give this, your Uncle Cheng is ready to quit smoking." Jian Lu was the first to stop him.

"Huh?" Dunzi hasn't heard about this yet, his father also smokes, and there are few of them who are soldiers who don't smoke, so how can Uncle Cheng quit? "Uncle Cheng, can you really quit smoking?"

Cheng Zheng bit his cheek and felt uncomfortable, "Try it." ”

This is the task given by the daughter-in-law, saying that smoking for so many years is not good for her health, and she is yelling for her to quit smoking.
