In the morning market, the crowd was bustling and shouting.

In the fresh food area, an unusually eye-catching figure is busy ordering goods.

"Uncle Six, I've made the list. Aquatic sea bass and scallops, beef and pork are on the list. There are also fruits, just raisins and watermelon." The person who spoke was a young man, about 28/nine in age, leaving With a cropped head, he is very masculine.

"Okay! That's all, old rules? No problem, I'll deliver them to the farmhouse on time on July [-]nd."

"Thanks."

"Hey, why are you talking about this?" Sun Liu laughed, "Chen Quan, let's not talk about this! Come on, take these treasures home to eat, and keep them for you. It's not easy in this hot weather."

Chen Quan took a look, good guy, a few palm-sized blue crabs are lazily stretching their arms and legs to him.

Sun Liu has been in the fresh food wholesale business in Xiba Town Vegetable Market for many years, with a wide network of contacts and fresh ingredients. Chen Quan has been choosing Uncle Liu's business since the opening of the farmhouse last year, and it has not changed in the past year.

Saying goodbye to Sun Liu, Chen Quan was about to go back when his phone rang.Chen Quan took it out and looked, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Hey, Haohao, what's the matter?"

"Brother, where are you? When will you be back?"

Chen Quan looked at the crowded crowd in the vegetable market and said, "Quickly. I'll be right back."

"Don't, don't, bro, you're still in the vegetable market, hahaha, luckily you're still here! Bring me some steamed stuffed buns for me, as long as they're from Wang Ergou's steamed stuffed buns!"

"I haven't eaten enough in college." Chen Quan said casually while making a phone call while opening the door and getting into the car. He leaned his elbow on the car window.

"Enough, enough, I feel like throwing up! Brother, don't believe me, the food in the school is really not for people to eat! I think, our chef's skills are better than the school's too many."

Chen Quan shook his head helplessly, hung up the phone, turned around and drove to buy buns.Chen Hao just came back from school after his junior year vacation, and has been lying dead at home for three days, and he doesn't know how he slept in college.

Chen Quan drove back along the asphalt road, and the familiar scenery along the way quickly receded and drifted away.

Today's Xiba Town can be well described in one word - changing with each passing day.

Five years ago, Rongcheng was developing eastward, and a "new city" was about to be built in the east of Rongcheng.Regarding this news, there were rumors seven or eight years ago. Unfortunately, for unknown reasons, this plan was shelved for many years. It was not until five years ago that a developer finally took over the land in the east to build a new city. The plan was restarted.In just five years, many places in the east of Rongcheng were occupied one after another, and many high-rise villas, schools and banks were erected one after another.Xiba Town, which has been a part of the backcountry for many years, has finally been included in the scope of planning and development. So far, developers have built pastoral country villas according to local conditions.

However, development takes time. If Xiba Town wants to completely change its appearance, I am afraid it will have to wait a few more years.But as far as the current development trend is concerned, it is already very good for them.

The Chen family has also developed from a small restaurant at the beginning to a small farmhouse that has begun to take shape today.Two years ago, the Chen family rented a few acres of land to expand the farmhouse and named it the Chen Family Courtyard.In recent years, Qingmoss Village has vigorously planted flowers and trees. Regardless of the economic development here, the green environment of Qingmoss Village is really good.The farmhouse of the Chen family was built according to the trend, surrounded by red flowers and green trees, and carp jumping in the lake and pond, it is really a bit leisurely.

In addition to catering, the farmhouse also has chess and cards, entertainment, and accommodation.

Although Xiba Town is a small town, due to the construction of a new town in recent years, the flow of people has increased, and the Chen family's farmhouse is also booming.

……

As soon as Chen Quan returned to the farmhouse in his bread van, he saw Chen Hao standing at the door waiting eagerly.

"Hey, brother!" Chen Hao rushed to Chen Quan's car window, reached out to take out the buns, and immediately stuffed one into his mouth, bulging.

"Brother, why did you come back? I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Chen Quan took out two suitcases from the trunk, walked inside, and said, "If you are in a hurry, you should go with me, who told you to sleep late."

Chen Hao stuffed another bun, stepped forward, and took the box from his brother: "Brother, brother, I'll come, I'll come, hahaha."

Today's Chen Hao is also a guy in his early twenties. He usually doesn't go to school and only comes back during winter and summer vacations.The two brothers stand together, which is called a seductive.

Someone helped to move the box, Chen Quan was also happy and relaxed, he raised his hand and ordered: "Move to the kitchen in the backyard, and tell Gao Li by the way, we will eat this tonight."

"No problem!" Chen Hao responded, Chen Quan turned around and wanted to drive out again, Chen Hao suddenly shouted, "Brother, are you going out again?"

"Well, I went to the steel market to have a look, and I took a look at the light tubes by the way. The light tubes I bought last time are not suitable, and some customers have reported them."

Chen Hao: "Brother, have you forgotten what day it is? Come back early when you're done."

……

Chen Quan drove far away before he remembered what day it is.

Today is his birthday.

Another year has passed in a flash.

……

In Chen Quan's memory, he hardly celebrated his birthday with his family.When he was too young, his family didn't seem to pay much attention to this. Later, when he grew up, he worked outside all the year round, so he didn't have to worry about it.It was the first time that so many colleagues were together during the birthday celebration at Heyu Department Store in Rongcheng.

It was after six o'clock in the afternoon that Chen Quan came back.

When eating in the evening, the Chen family's parents were all there. Chen Hao came out of the kitchen with a crab in his hand, and said to Gao Li, the chef who was wiping his sweat, "Brother Li, let me tell you, with your skills, you are a good chef. Much better than those senior chefs outside!"

Gao Li smiled naively, showing his big white teeth. He seemed a little embarrassed, scratched his head, and stammered, "Wow, how can it be."

"Really! I didn't lie to you!" Chen Hao said to him, gesturing to the blue crab with a strong fragrance in his hand, "Only this dish can be made so delicious in your hands. Didn't you see that every time my brother You can tell by the way you are devouring your meal that it tastes better."

Gao Li smiled innocently again: "Wow, there is no such thing, yes, it is Boss Chen, I don't mind it." Gao Li is the chef of Chen's Farmhouse.Last year, the farmhouse just opened for a short time, and the business was not good.One day, a man in ragged clothes came to the door of the farmhouse. He was sneaky. Chen Quan went up to inquire and found out that the man in front of him was not a local. He even drifted to a remote place like Qingmoss Village, unable to find his way back.The man's name is Gao Li. He is tall and strong, but he stutters a bit. He is an honest and honest person.Gao Li asked Chen Quanrong to take him in and earn some travel expenses home.The Chen Family Farmhouse had just opened at that time and needed manpower to do chores, so Chen Quan simply left the honest man in front of him.

Gaoli is tall and strong, and he is also very strong. At the beginning, he helped the Chen family plant trees and dig fish ponds, and worked very hard.Later, by chance, the Chen family knew that Comrade Gao Li, who looked honest and honest, was very good at cooking. Gao Li, who was recognized by a family, moved to the back kitchen and was in charge of cooking in the farmhouse, and finally found a place to use.

Half a year later, Gao Li continued to practice and learn, his cooking skills were even better, and he also earned enough travel expenses, but this person didn't want to go back. According to him, he works everywhere, and it's interesting to stay here.

Chen Quan didn't say anything, and nodded in agreement, but he finally told Gao Li that the farmhouse has just started, the business is also average, and the treatment and salary are definitely not as good as other farmhouses or restaurants. If you think there is a better place to go someday, tell me Just one click.

When Gao Li heard that he could stay, he was so excited that he stammered and said, okay, okay, just, just give me a mouth, mouth, mouth to eat!I, I, I, will work hard!

Chen Quan waved his hand and agreed.

……

in the dining room.

The Chen family is ready for dinner.

Chen Quan heard Chen Hao's yelling from a long distance away. He opened a few cans of beer and smiled at Chen Hao who came in: "Who are you talking about gobbling it up? Brat, I don't know who will grab something from me every time I come back. Eating, it's like you haven't eaten in a few lifetimes."

Chen Hao was not happy anymore, he hugged the blue crab and did not let go: "What's the matter, you eat delicious and spicy food at home every day, and I suffer and starve outside alone, and I am not allowed to eat when I come back, mom, Look at my brother, he, he, he abused me!"

Jiang Yunying was setting the bowls and chopsticks, and said to Chen Quan: "Hey, Chen Quan, why do you always bully your younger brother all day, Haohao rarely comes back, so you have to say a few words."

"Mom, how dare I say him," Chen Quan said innocently, "I didn't expect Haohao to come back, so I asked Uncle Liu to bring some good things back."

Satisfied, Jiang Yunying turned her head and said to Haohao, "Look at what your brother has done to you. I'll ask Gao Li to cook more delicious food to make up for you."

Chen Hao winked at his brother triumphantly, Chen Quan shook his head, too lazy to argue with Chen Hao.

"Hao, if Haohao, hi, likes to eat, I'll put it in the pot, return, and, I'll go right away, Sheng Lai."

"All right, all right," Chen Zhihua said cheerfully, calling everyone to sit down and eat, "Gao Li, leave him alone, that kid is just like that, leave him alone, come and sit down for dinner."

A family of four, plus a head chef, Gao Li, can be considered happy.

At the dinner table, Chen Zhihua and Chen Quan were talking about the farmhouse.

"Dad, this morning I went to talk to Uncle Six about the dishes for the No. [-] banquet. Gao Li, Uncle Six will deliver the goods at four o'clock in the morning on the [-]nd. Remember to collect them when the time comes."

Gao Li nodded vigorously, remembering.

On July [-]nd, two parties booked a banquet at the Chen Family Courtyard at the same time. One was for children's full moon wine, and the other was for tour groups, which was very rare.

"There should be a lot of people that day, Gao Li, remember to tell others that it will be a harder day."

"By the way, there is one more thing." Chen Quan turned his head and said to Jiang Yunying, "Mom, a friend of mine wants to come to the farmhouse. He is a former colleague of mine. I am thinking of letting him be in charge of the front office, so that you and Dad can also relax. point." The farmhouse is getting bigger and bigger, and the business is getting better and better, but there is not enough manpower. Many times, Jiang Yunying and Chen Zhihua not only have to look after the vegetables and fruits planted in the field, but also help run the front hall, which is really a bit busy.The back kitchen is managed by Gao Li, and the front office should also be managed by a suitable person.Of course, Chen Quan can do it by himself, but he still has other things to do. He is so busy all day that he never touches the ground, so there is always someone in charge.

"Male and female?" Jiang Yunying asked.

Chen Quan didn't understand, so he said, "Male."

"Can a man do it?" Jiang Yunying obviously had an opinion, and she only heard her say, "There are a lot of miscellaneous things in the front hall, what is your colleague like? If this is a careless and careless person, then how can it be done? You might as well let me come."

Chen Zhihua took a sip of beer and said, "Hey, Yingzi, didn't you still say that your shoulders hurt from rheumatism a while ago? Also, you don't care if the person is a man or a woman, as long as you know how to do things."

"Dad, Mom, don't worry about that. My colleague is very serious in his work. I can guarantee that."

Jiang Yunying saw that the two men were acting in the same direction, and immediately hummed: "What do you men know! No matter how good a man is, he is not as considerate as a girl. No, I said that you are wrapped up with a group of men every day. When will our family be able to have grandchildren?"

Chen Quan and Chen Zhihua looked at each other, and each of them poured beer helplessly.

"Mom, are you going to tell my brother's fortune again?" Chen Hao asked greasyly while holding the crab shell in one hand.

Jiang Yunying's neck twisted: "Why, it can't be done, who made you all feel uneasy, Chen Quan, look at you, you are almost thirty people, who is as old as you has not yet married? Don't Speaking of getting married, the children can go to elementary school, and you look at yourself, and you don’t even have a girlfriend around you. I think Zhang Shen’s calculations are quite accurate, saying that you will have good luck this year, so don’t miss it.”

Chen Quan was speechless and could only roll his eyes.It's already halfway through this year, and I haven't even seen a girlfriend.

In fact, Jiang Yunying was not wrong. Almost all the men of Chen Quan’s age in their village have married and established businesses. The rest of the unmarried are mostly due to some unspeakable hidden diseases, either because they are too poor, or It's just that the character is too bad, no girl is willing to marry.

Chen Quan, the eldest of Chen Zhihua's family, apart from being incompetent a few years ago and having been divorced for some reason, is not out of place.Especially in these years, the boss of the Chen family has made a fortune outside, and he returned home to open a farmhouse to make a fortune. He is hardworking, hardworking, and handsome.

In fact, there is a reason why Chen Quan has not had a girlfriend or married for so many years.

A few years ago, the Chen family suffered an accident and almost died. Even if Chen Zhihua saved his life in the end, he still owed a lot of debts outside.Which family dares to marry the girl to their family at this time?Isn't that hurting other girls?Not to mention Chen Quan, the boss of the Chen family, had just been divorced at that time, so he didn't know who he was.

Later, Chen Quan came back, but in the first year, he was so depressed and a jerk that his teeth were itchy. He slept or drank all day long. The angry Jiang Yunying beat him several times with a broom.Jiang Yunying said, she has never seen a man like you!I haven't seen you for so long, now that I'm back, I'll come back, you might as well not come back now!a shame.

At that time, Chen Quan's head was stuffy, he didn't make a sound, and he looked like a broken pot, which made people angry and helpless.

In the end, his elder brother Chen Bin came over and saw Chen Quan'er huddled motionless in his dark room, like a wounded little animal, licking his wound alone in the dark.

Chen Bin sat with Chen Quan in the room all night, the sky was just getting bright, when Chen Bin came to Chen Quanquan, he knelt down and said to Chen Quan: "Chen Quan'er, I don't care what happened to you before, but since you decided to come back , don’t worry about the past anymore. Now, only by making yourself better than before, can you laugh at that idiot yourself like a bystander when you recall the past.”

Chen Quan raised his head abruptly, his eyes stabbed, he opened his mouth to mutter for a while, and finally let out a slightly hoarse voice.

"Brother... I was wrong."

He was really wrong.
