Chen Wei also got up early today, got up on the kang just as the clock struck four o'clock in the morning, stretched his waist and grinned, his whole body was still sore, but it was easier than the previously unknown piercing pain Let him accept it, and the day's work of twisting his waist and kicking his legs has officially begun.

When he was in school, he had the same daily work and rest every day, and the life track of three points and one line. After returning home and before going to bed, he would think about what to do tomorrow and the work to be done. Now he feels fulfilled and feels that he is a busy person. Father Chen ordered the morning work, and he dare not be careless. "My Shop" closes every morning, and customers know that the regular time is up, and they will automatically leave. Last night, the Chen family watched the meat stew in the backyard. I went back to the village ahead of time, and I have been busy with the pots at home for the past few days. Before leaving, Chen’s father told Chen Wei, who stayed in the store, that they had to be put on the shelves when they were well marinated. The sanitation in the store must be cleaned before they come tomorrow, especially The old couple of the Zhang family, who stayed to watch their great-grandchildren, should not be exhausted and directly make up for the farm work with other work.

On the right side of the door connecting the kitchen to the hall, there are six stoves for small frying, and there are two large pots on each side of the door leading to the backyard. One side cooks rice, and the other side makes noon fast food stew, and there are six one-meter-high card edges facing the wall. The five layers above the pot are specially made bamboo steamers for continuous steaming and stewing pots, and a three-meter-long barbecue grill under the glass window beside the road. These internal facilities are all the work of Chen Wei. The stove is pressed with coal, the door of the pit is closed, the lid is put on after a while, the charcoal is ignited in the yard, and the charcoal is burned red and put into the grill. The stew pots in the small kitchen in the backyard are delivered batch by batch according to the type. Chen Wei does not know how to carry a pole, so he can only use a large steamer to carry the pots one by one.

When Mr. Zhang got up, Chen Wei was bending over, with his front legs arched and his back legs stretched, mopping the floor with a "hum-chi-hum-chi": "Master, go and rest for a while, I'll finish the work a few more times." Last night, Gadou was full of energy, and he was still thrashing around in the middle of the night, trying to put his son to sleep in his room, but the old man didn't agree, cried and made troubles, and neither of them could sleep well. Chen Wei felt that the old couple was Afraid that he would beat and scold their precious great-grandson, he didn't force him to go into the next hut to enjoy the whole kang all by himself. At two o'clock in the morning, he could still hear the old man wandering in the yard with Gadou in his arms, tightly wrapped in a quilt, and he didn't know the little guy Have you slept yet, looking at the old man's dark eye circles, Chen Wei wanted to persuade him not to spoil his son too much, but after thinking about it, he swallowed what he was about to say, this is where he and Xunzi are not qualified to argue with the elders about Gadou Regarding the upbringing issue, they must have a set of latent concepts after being raised for more than three years, and they are stubborn and not allowed to point fingers.

The car in the small single room selling marinated materials was polished, the marinated materials were neatly stacked, and the red brick floor was freshly washed. The old man nodded in satisfaction, sitting on the stool in the hall as clean as the Chen family. The old man said: "Xiaowei, it's almost enough, come over and have a chat with my grandfather."

Before the door curtain was opened, Chen Wei also knew that this was a private matter. He was very contradictory to Mr. Zhang, and wanted to be filial from the bottom of his heart. The father's matter has been concealed until now. After all, it is a suspicion that there is no way to verify it, so he can only wait and see. Chen Wei is very afraid that he will miss the truth in front of the old man. In the end, everything will be false and sad. If the old couple pass this matter, what will happen to him? After confessing to Xunzi, he opened his mouth first: "Master, let's not think too much about other things. Xunzi and I just hope that you and my grandma can live a long and healthy life."

"Another thing? Is there anything else besides Gadou?"

There was a smile on the corner of the old man's mouth, and that kind of smile made Chen Wei, who had a ghost in his heart, shudder. He didn't know how to answer the sudden question to make the old man pass the question, so he could only avoid looking at each other and squinting his eyes to cover it up with a sweet smile in return.

"Gadou's eyes really look like you, especially when you smile," Chen Weigang was about to heave a sigh of relief when he heard the old man continue: "Although your parents and I don't know each other, in my heart they and my son It’s no different, your dad said, uncle, if you don’t mind, we will take care of you, your grandma and I are half-buried people, it’s because your family doesn’t think we’re useless.”

Chen Wei continued to threaten his shoulders with a flattering smile and kept telling himself that he had to hold on tight, the old man pondered for a moment and asked, "I heard from your father that you don't intend to take Gadou away?"

Chen Wei coughed twice and loosened his lower facial muscles, and answered the words in a serious manner: "Although the boy is only three years old, he looks good, quick to respond, polite and strong, all of which are inseparable from your careful care. And education, you have to raise a famous master's student for the next generation, and you have to worry about it." His son reacted quickly and made fun of the two fathers not once or twice, and he was good at complaining, just to refute the old man's favor. Disagreements are inevitable.

Obviously, these views reached a consensus with the old man, and he asked for privileges without humility: "Gadou is the lifeblood of your grandma. After your father said that, she was still a little worried. She followed the past and missed her family. These days, I just ink it." Thing, let’s do it this way, Lord, let us take Gadou before he’s six years old, and you’ll come together after you go to school. I can’t and don’t want to take care of you and Xunzi’s affairs, as long as Gadou is good at other things. I can't handle that heart."

Chen Wei really admired him. He looked at people's negotiating thinking. The premise of not participating in the relationship between the two is that the old man can be the master of his great-grandson. Wei nodded in agreement and "mortgaged" his son. The old man achieved his goal and didn't want to talk about it anymore. He glanced at the clock on the wall: "Open the curtain, I'll cook all the dishes and chopsticks on the stove outside the house, you Yang Uncle is coming soon."

How could Chen Wei let the old man do anything, opened the curtain and held the firewood to light the stove, put the small pot on the bowls and chopsticks to cook, the old man held several layers of steamer and threw it into the steamer, Chen Wei looked at the hot pot restaurant opposite After a few glances, the road on the same level was less than ten meters away, and the other party's actions outside the store could be clearly seen. It cannot be said that imitating cooking and disinfection in a pot is not the patent of their own store. Regarding the secret recipe of meatballs, colleagues are not necessarily enemies. It would be too much to reach out to other stores to earn money. When Chen Wei asked the old man what he thought of the hot pot restaurant, the old man said something, and he could only be a nodding acquaintance Well, Chen Wei knows that there can't be deep friendship, and it's enough to be fair on the big face.

When Yang Laosan came, he saw Chen Wei and gave him a bear hug. The child he hadn't seen for more than six years always said: "I'm not old or young. Change it and let our ball show it. It's been a few days since I came back." Uncle is coming to face you.” The breakfast stall at his house has been set up, and every morning the three members of the Yang family meet at Zhang’s house, and in addition to the original soy milk, there are more steamed buns, flower rolls, and sugar (three times) children (triangular-shaped inside bread) Mianbaitang, also known as Tangjiao?), steamed stuffed buns, etc. must be packed in vacuum bags and sold in front of various enterprises. When they have money, they immediately ordered two tricycles, which can be regarded as the fulfillment of Qiuzi’s wish to buy a car and sell tofu. In the morning, I not only help to deliver the packed meat to the store, but also sell marinated ingredients. Don’t underestimate the small quantity. I help a lot of sales in a month. The money I earn every month is divided into four parts, and the three brothers each have a store. In the past few days, I went to Caodianzi to pick up the meat, and then went to Chen's house to get the packaged ingredients. Unfortunately, Chen Wei was working in the field at that time, and we hadn't seen each other.

The two chatted for a while, and it was almost time. Yang Laosan moved the meat into the kitchen, poured Chen Wei a bowl of fresh soy milk, and left the sister-in-law and daughter-in-law with foam boxes to set up a stall. Chen Wei wanted to help Later, I was pushed aside by Qiuzi’s mother, and I had no choice but to go to the kitchen with the ledger to run mutton skewers. Cabbage and potatoes have risen from [-] cents to [-] piece, and scones have increased from [-] cents to [-] cents. The family is also smart. Chicken wings and chicken legs are kept for barbecue, marinated and other big pot dishes are sold in small pots, lamb skewers A skewer of [-] cents, a sheep of about [-] catties is calculated according to the market price of [-] catties, and the meat skewers alone can earn back the capital. Other mutton pots and grilled lamb chops are pure profits. Compared with these, my salary There really is no comparison.

Breakfast was just one or two o'clock. Yang's family tidied up the store and returned to the village with the car. After decades of friendship, there is no need for extra politeness. Picked up a few things in the store, Chen Ma stuffed him with 900 yuan before returning to the village last night, and after thinking about it, he could figure out that his father's pocket was taken away again, and the remaining 100 yuan was divided into fifty-fifths, or ninety-five cents. There is no way to verify the points.

Mr. Zhang saw that there was nothing to do and went back to the backyard to catch up on sleep. The old lady came to the front hall with Gadou in her arms, and went directly to the second floor without disturbing Chen Wei's writing: "Play here for a while, grandma sets up a stool."

"Yeah." Promised well, when his great-grandmother entered the private room, she became active again, she backed up and pouted her little butt, rubbed her left leg down a step, and stepped on her right leg, her little paw moved down a step , still chanting the slogan: one, two, one, two, tired and crawling quite vigorously, recovering well, resting for a few hours, a lot of energy, Chen Wei came over, sighed, strode up, and put The little guy picked it up and hugged it in his arms, their eyes met, and Gadou's relatives were drooling.

"Will you follow Dad when he goes to the street, or stay in the store?"

"I'm going," said excitedly as he kicked his calves, "to find the big bag."

Chen Wei felt that the skin on his face was a lot looser, and a few wrinkles appeared in an instant, which was worrying. After hearing this, the old lady didn't let the father and son set off immediately, and changed Gadou's body again. A knitted yellow hat with drop ears, a bright yellow round neck top with buttons at the back, a duckling embroidered on the lower right side of the placket, small velvet pants of the same color and matching yellow shoes. When Chen Wei went out with his son in his arms, He was also carrying a small cloth bag, which contained Gadou’s honey water bottle, a small handkerchief, a large folded toilet paper, and a spare set of underwear. A two- or three-hour trip brought a day’s equipment.
