Early in the morning, there was a knock on the door of Liu Xing's house.

Zhou Qiuxiang, who had just gotten up, was stunned and hurriedly ran out of the room to open the door, and when she saw that it was Zhao Xiaomo who took her sister 'Zhao Lingling' to make shoes, followed by the dark-skinned Kang Jun, she couldn't help laughing: "Actually, you don't have to be so early, I didn't listen to Liu Xing's explanation, so I can help you do things later, just come before eight o'clock in the morning, after all, your family also has something to do!"

"Bring them here on the first day today, if you don't come early, you can't do it!" Zhao Xiaomo pulled the shy Zhao Lingling beside her to the front: "Why are you stupidly looking at it?

"Hello sister-in-law!" Zhao Lingling shouted shyly.

Seeing this, Kang Jun also smiled at Zhou Qiuxiang.

"Hey!" Zhou Qiuxiang responded happily, and pulled Zhao Lingling into the kitchen: "I just got up, so breakfast hasn't been cooked yet, you definitely haven't eaten, so help me!"

"Uh-huh!" Zhao Lingling nodded when she heard this, looking at the kitchen environment curiously.

When I saw that there were two bowls of cut white meat in the cupboard, I couldn't help but be stunned.

When she came to Liu Xing's house before, her sister Zhao Xiaomo told her that Liu Xing's family had a good life, and they had meat to eat every meal. She didn't believe it, after all, who didn't know the living conditions in the countryside......! She had to believe it.

Because the facts are right in front of you.

Zhou Qiuxiang looked at Zhao Lingling's appearance and smiled: "I heard your sister say that she recently found a partner, but the other party disliked your poor family, and then broke up?"

"Hmm," Zhao Lingling nodded embarrassedly.

The conditions in the family are like this, and she is powerless to change it, otherwise she would not have come to Liu Xing's house to help make shoes and make money.

"There's nothing wrong with this, the other party looks down on you, he will regret it when the time comes, work hard with me, and buy you four major items in a year." Zhou Qiuxiang said softly.

In fact, Zhao Lingling is not bad, but this dress is too shabby, which lowers the appearance of the whole person.

In the 80s, the so-called four major items were bicycles, sewing machines, radios, and watches, and if you wanted to buy them all, you had to not only spend money, but also have tickets.

Ordinary families, that can't afford it at all.

When Zhao Lingling heard this, she looked at Zhou Qiuxiang with wide eyes: "Really?"

"Of course it's true, Liu Xing's salary for everyone is a piece of five days, and he also eats at noon, I heard that when the business is stable, the salary will rise. Zhou Qiuxiang said as he lit the fire and cooked, with pride in his eyes.

For her, not everyone can have such a skill, relying on a single craft to support more than a dozen people.

When Zhao Lingling heard this, she was excited.

Because now in the countryside, those who have craftsmanship only have one piece and two days.

Liu Xing's salary here is actually five yuan, can it be said that this is very profitable to make shoes?

Or is it hard work to get so high?

With doubts, with a lot of anticipation.

Zhao Lingling put away her thoughts and helped burn the firewood.

After a while, a faint aroma of rice wafted from the large iron pot.

Zhao Lingling subconsciously swallowed her saliva, because her family hadn't eaten rice for a long time, and she used sweet potatoes and wild vegetables to satisfy her hunger every day. As for the reason, it was because of the raging drought last year, which caused her family's grain production to drop by nearly 70%.

Zhou Qiuxiang knew the inside story, and after she sighed lightly, she grabbed a handful of twist flowers from the cupboard and handed it to Zhao Lingling: "Hurry up and eat, don't let my snack goods see it." ”

"This ...... This is too precious, isn't it?" Zhao Lingling was a little flustered, and at the same time, her heart warmed.

"Asking you to eat you, what are you talking about?" Zhou Qiuxiang smiled.

"Okay!" Zhao Lingling nodded.

However, before he started eating, the melon seeds ran in with a little short leg: "The nest said that I smelled the fragrance of twist flowers from afar, and it turned out that someone was stealing it." ”

"You just ate it secretly!" Zhou Qiuxiang picked up the broom: "Go out and wash your face and brush your teeth." ”

"Hehe......" melon seeds ran away after taking the two twist flowers handed by Zhao Lingling.

"This girl ......" Zhou Qiuxiang shook her head.

Outside, on the barn field, Kang Fuchuan also came with a family of three.

Seeing Liu Xing squatting at the gate to wash, he walked over: "Do you know? ”

"Luo Yiye?"

"Who is he?"

Liu Xing was stunned when he heard this, he only felt that the name was familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.

"He is the director of the Education Bureau...... "Kang Fuchuan moved a chair and sat next to Liu Xing, telling everything that happened in the morning.

Liu Xing listened while brushing his teeth.

After listening to it, I understood.

looked up at Kang Fuchuan: "Uncle, you are really, why don't you seize such a good opportunity!"

"What am I sure of?" Kang Fuchuan was confused when he heard this.

"Promise Luo Yiye to go to Zhongyi Distillery to repair the wine filling equipment, and then resume the work of the iron rice bowl!" Liu Xing smiled and explained: "If you really follow me for a long time in the future, then it will be difficult to enter the establishment in the future." ”

Although this is a bit unjust to him, his original intention is to live a good life in Kang Fuchuan.

Otherwise, he would not have taken Kang Fuchuan to Hengshui Distillery to repair the wine filling equipment.

Of course, Kang Fuchuan didn't want to go, so he couldn't help it.

This proves that he was not wrong in the first place.

Kang Fuchuan is worthy of his trust.

"What did I think, this iron rice bowl is not rare now, I am angry every day, it is better to follow you everywhere freely. Kang Fuchuan said.

Liu Xing didn't understand the meaning of Kang Fuchuan's words, and after shaking his head, he didn't say anything else.

When he had finished brushing his teeth, he went to his room and pulled out a plan for the market, which he had drawn overnight the previous night, and although it was a little scribbled, the new design on it would not appear until decades later.

Kang Fuchuan took it and only glanced at it, and couldn't help but gasp: "Xing Yanzi, what are you going to do here?"

"Rebuild the bazaar, or re-plan it. Liu Xing said softly: "Wait until you have breakfast, come with me to the market and be a staff officer for me." ”

"Okay," Kang Fuchuan nodded.

Only then did he know that Liu Xing, this kid, was holding back his big moves!

If the market plan in hand can really become a reality, then the old housing village will be terrible in the future.

Just as he was about to ask Liu Xing about some of the novel infrastructure structures, Liu Dazhao came out of the gate with a 28 bar, and rode to the village road without even saying hello.

"Hey, second brother, why are you in such a hurry!" Kang Fuchuan couldn't help but shout.

"I went to inform the villagers of the meeting. Liu Dazhao didn't say a word back, and then accelerated the speed of the bicycle and ran.

"He's stunned to be the village chief, right?" Kang Fuchuan looked at Liu Xing a little speechlessly.

"Leave him alone, the new official has three fires, he is not active at this time, and if he doesn't make some achievements, then he will have no chance in the future. After Liu Xing replied mysteriously, he went to the kitchen for breakfast.

Kang Fuchuan chased after him: "No, what do you mean by that?"

"Later, you will understand that this village chief is not so easy to be. Liu Xing replied ambiguously, seeing that Kang Jun also came to his house today, he stepped forward to say hello immediately.

As for Zhao Lingling, who was burning the fire, he had some impressions, but he didn't know the name.

In the end, while laughing, I realized that it was Zhao Xiaomo's sister.

Kang Fuchuan also joked that he would give Zhao Lingling to him as his daughter-in-law.

This made Liu Xing a little embarrassed, and Zhao Lingling lowered her head in shame, but fortunately, Zhao Xiaomo came out to solve the siege: "Uncle, don't mess with the mandarin duck spectrum, Lingling is twenty-four years old this year, eight years older than Liu Xing!"

"Alright!" Kang Fuchuan sneered.

Liu Qiuyuan, who walked in, glanced at Kang Fuchuan: "I see that you have been idle and have nothing to do recently, and you dare to make any jokes." ”

After all, according to the seniority, Liu Xing has to be called Aunt Zhao Lingling.

"I just said it casually. Kang Fuchuan saw that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, and hurriedly ran away with a bowl of sweet potato porridge.

Liu Xing didn't care about this, after all, his heart was not a sixteen-year-old child, after eating a sweet potato, he looked at Zhao Lingling: "Sister, I seem to remember that your family is from Chaoyang Village, right? ”

"I can live in my sister's house. ”

Zhao Lingling replied shyly after being stunned.

She was afraid that Liu Xing would dislike his family, and finally wouldn't let her do things, so she said this.

In fact, her real plan is to walk back every day and walk to work, after all, it is not good to live at her sister's house for a long time.

Liu Xing, as a reborn person, saw through Zhao Lingling's careful thinking at a glance, and he smiled: "Sister, don't get me wrong, I mean to say, in fact, you can live in my house, as long as you don't dislike laying on the floor." ”

If Zhao Lingling encountered an accident while walking at night, then he, the boss, would not be able to escape the blame.

So there are some things that he has to guard against.

"Oh...... Good!"

Zhao Lingling bit her lip and smiled shyly.

For her, Liu Xing's words are very heartwarming.

Zhao Xiaomo was also very happy when he heard this: "Xing Yanzi, I didn't say you, you are a big boss now, but your adobe house can match your identity! When will you demolish and build a red brick house?"

In the early 80s, the red brick house was a symbol of wealth.

Ordinary people can't even think of it.

As soon as Zhao Xiaomo's words came out, everyone who was eating breakfast in the kitchen looked at Liu Xing.

After all, they all want to know how to arrange this red brick house Liu Xing.

"I don't have time to think about that right now. Liu Xing smiled when he heard this: "At least for the time being, it is impossible for two or three months, because I still have a lot of things to do!"

"It's just that I don't get it. Liu Xing looked at Zhao Xiaomo: "This new red brick house should be my father's business, right?

"That's it, that's it, my second brother is the head of the family. Liu Qiuyuan echoed.

If Liu Xing builds a red brick house, where will the second brother's face go!

Now the second brother ran away without breakfast early in the morning.

This must have some meaning of competing with Liu Xing.

After all, the father was surpassed by the son, which is somewhat unbearable.

When Zhou Qiuxiang heard this, he couldn't help but say: "What's the use of Dazhao, the head of the family, working blindly all day long, you see that now the rain has stopped, and he doesn't say a word about planting rice, so he knows to take care of those chicken skin things in the village." ”

"Don't say that, you can't be the village chief if you want to be someone else!" Kang Fuchuan walked into the kitchen and answered: "As for rice planting, there are so many people in your family, can't it be done in a day or two by finding a good weather?"

"Are you going to pay the salary?" Zhou Qiuxiang looked at Kang Fuchuan with a light smile.

"I ......" Kang Fuchuan didn't know how to say it, but then he knew that he had accidentally said the wrong thing.

Seeing this, Liu Qiuyuan glanced at Kang Fuchuan: "You are a cheap person, you dare to take care of the affairs of the second brother's family!"

Kang Fuchuan laughed and scratched his head, seeing that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, he quickly turned around and ran away.

Liu Xing followed behind with a sweet potato, and suddenly looked back at Zhou Qiuxiang: "Mom, what about Lanlan?

"I don't know!" Zhou Qiuxiang was stunned and hurriedly ran out of the kitchen, and saw Guazi sitting alone under the grapefruit tree eating twist flowers, and hurriedly shouted: "Have you seen Lan Lan?"

"She hasn't gotten up yet!" I called out to her, but she didn't respond. The melon seed replied timidly.

"What?" Liu Xing heard this, and hurriedly ran towards the room where Lan Lan was sleeping.

When I saw Lan Lan on the bed coughing, it was a headache and I didn't know what to say.

Zhou Qiuxiang, who rushed over, said: "Xing Yanzi, don't say anything, hurry up and send her to Dr. Wang to have a look, in case the root of the disease falls, we can't explain it to Doctor Jiang." ”

"Okay!" Liu Xing walked to the head of the bed to help get dressed.

But Lan Lan refused: "Brother, I just have a cold, just drink a bowl of ginger soup." ”

"No, I have to be responsible for you. Liu Xing directly rejected Lan Lan's proposal.

"Brother, I used to have a cold, grandpa just boiled a bowl of ginger soup for me to drink, I beg you, don't take me to other doctors to see a doctor, okay?" Lan Lan hugged Liu Xing's arm, and couldn't help coughing because she was emotional.

Seeing this, Liu Xing had to compromise, he turned his head to look at Zhou Qiuxiang: "Mom, you hurry up and boil ginger soup and put more peppercorns." ”

"Yes! Put more peppercorns, and I will get better if I drink sweat and catch a cold." Lan Lanlian followed.

"Okay!" Zhou Qiuxiang had no choice but to do it.

Liu Xing reached out and touched Lan Lan's forehead, and when he saw that he didn't have a fever, he was relieved: "Didn't you cover the quilt last night? That's why you caught a cold?"

Although it is now the fifth month of the solar calendar, the evening is still a little cool.

So it's normal to catch a cold.

"Hmm," Lan Lan nodded embarrassedly.

"Alas, you girl, you just don't make people worry. Liu Xing picked up the clothes on the bedside and handed them to Lan Lan: "Hurry up and get dressed, and when you finish drinking the ginger soup, I'll take you to find Xiao Budian to play." ”

"Really?" Lan Lan happily stood up from the bed after being stunned, but soon he shrank back, it turned out that she was only wearing a pair of pants.

Liu Xing looked at it and smiled, got up and walked out.

......

Ginger soup is really effective for Lan Lan's cold.

After drinking it in one go, her whole body was sweating.

The symptoms of coughing disappeared.

Liu Xing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

After explaining a few words to the little daughters-in-law such as Liu Qiuyuan, Zhao Xiaomo, and Kang Hu, who were making shoes in the hall, they took the black calf and carried the packed shoes to the market in the old house village.

As for Lan Lan and melon seeds, Kang Fuchuan sent them over by bicycle, so he didn't have to worry.

When I came to the door of the shoe store, it was already more than ten o'clock in the morning.

Because it's not a market day.

Business is a bit of a lukewarm.

But Liu Xing didn't care about this at all.

After shouting Nai Xinru to help deliver the shoes to the shoe store, he went to the backyard to find Kang Fuchuan.

To his surprise, in addition to Kang Fuchuan, Zhao Dongkui, and Liu Dongju in the backyard, Chen Hong and Lu Xiaoban were also there, and several of them seemed to be chatting happily, among which Chen Hong couldn't help laughing.

"Ahem, what are you talking about!" Liu Xing, who approached, coughed lightly and said.

"I'm talking about you!" Liu Dongju saw Liu Xing coming, and stepped forward to Lu Xiaoban's side: "He said that there is a beautiful sister in the family who wants to introduce to you, and she will only turn sixteen in July this year." ”

"Introduce a fart! Liu Xing's face darkened instantly: "What kind of blind date am I so young, don't you see that I'm very busy now?"

If someone else introduced him to his beautiful sister, he would definitely not talk like this, at least he would definitely not speak like this, but he didn't know who Lu Xiaoban was?

When the time comes, if you get into the trap and understand, it will be too late.

"You kid...... How do you speak!" Liu Dongju was very embarrassed when she heard this: "If you don't want to go, just talk well, don't choke people like this!"

"I'm already very polite. Liu Xing looked at Lu Xiaoban and Chen Hong: "What's the matter? I don't know each other! Is the management of the bazaar so idle today? Do you want me to send a report to the superior leaders to explain the situation here?"

As soon as these words came out, Chen Hong and Lu Xiaoban turned around and left, walking cleanly.

Liu Dongju originally wanted to say a few words about Liu Xing, but was stopped by Kang Fuchuan.

It wasn't until Lu Xiaoban left with Chen Hong that he explained: "Please, you have a little eyesight, don't you see that Liu Xing hates Lu Xiaoban very much?"

"But you can't embarrass him in front of me?" Liu Dongju glanced at Liu Xing dissatisfied.

"Is this called embarrassing? Sister, do you know that this Lu Xiaoban is not a good person at all, he is the nephew of Lu Su of the Zhongyi Distillery, he has nothing to do, but I am afraid that there is something to ask me, and when the time comes, I am afraid that I will not be able to cry if I want to cry." Liu Xing said earnestly.

"Huh?" Liu Dongju's face changed.

"So, you are a woman and a Taoist family and will rarely participate in Liu Xing's affairs in the future. Kang Fuchuan kindly reminded.

"It's not that I don't know that Lu Xiaoban is such a person! He sent me cigarettes and alcohol this morning, and he also sent delicious food to Xiaobudian, how do I know that he is holding back his badness!" Liu Dongju was a little anxious: "No, I have to send these things over." ”

"No need, I'll deal with Lu Xiaoban's affairs. Liu Xing looked at Zhao Dongkui: "Brother-in-law, is the village chief at home today?"

"You should plant rice by the river, and if you look for him, you can go to the river. Zhao Dongkui replied.

"Okay!" Liu Xing nodded.

Now that the maintenance materials for the wine filling equipment of the Hengshui Distillery have not yet been bought, it is time to start renovating the infrastructure of the bazaar, and looking for Village Chief Wang is to ask Village Chief Wang to call some trustworthy people to do things.

was about to leave, but Zhao Jing ran into the backyard: "Brother, brother! ”
