Master Chen who has been busy for two hours

Chen's courtyard.

Tables were set up in the pavilion and the open space in the yard, and a dozen or so chairs were moved. The old friends who hadn’t seen each other for a long time said that they were all happy when they talked about the past. During the period, they inevitably talked about Chen’s mother’s condition, and they had to sigh. survived the most difficult years.

The neighbors lamented that Chen Mei had a hard life and was the best child they had ever seen.

Zhao Jie's mother, Zhao's mother said to Chen's mother that Xiaomei is almost thirty, she should find a girl to get along with, when you go back to the countryside, Chen Mei will not be so lonely, someone will take care of him.

Zhao Jie secretly pulled off Mother Zhao's clothes, but Mother Zhao didn't notice it at all, and said that she met several girls in the work unit, but she was very happy, and showed them Xiaomei's photos, and they all thought Xiaomei was pretty, if Xiaomei agreed , Give them the contact information when you get back.

Zhao Jie couldn't stop Mother Zhao, and rubbed his head with a headache.

Chen Mei pursed her lips calmly, and looked at Chen's mother childishly, as if asking for help. Chen's mother had never seen such a Chen Mei, cute and cute, as if returning to the appearance of Bai Tuanzi when she was a child, the old mother's My heart is going to melt.

Chen's mother quickly waved her hand at Zhao's mother and said, "It's okay, sister of the Zhao family, don't worry about it, Xiaomei fell in love with someone a while ago, it's good, let them get along first."

Zhao's mother had no choice but to give up her thoughts, and immediately turned around and pulled Zhao Jie and said, "Stop eating, take a look, I've also collected a few for you, a child who graduated in his 20s and thought he was going to school, find me quickly a girlfriend."

Zhao Jie was "ah" all over, wanting to cry but no tears, why did he urge him to find a partner again.

Chen Mei peeled off the shrimp shells and put them in Chen's mother's bowl. Chen's father drank with his old friend, and Chen Mei peeled the edamame and peanuts. Chen's father accepted Chen Mei's feeding with a smile.

Chen's mother looked at the lively Chen Mei quietly. This is what Chen Mei looked like when she was a child. As a big brother in the streets and alleys, she took a bunch of little kids to fish and climb trees in the river, made mistakes, and then acted like a good boy to avoid punishment and go to school. When I was young, I would finish my homework seriously, and then chase and fight with the little boys, unable to settle down for a moment.

The pupils are agile, unstoppable, like a little sun.

But that serious illness not only changed Chen's mother, but also wiped out Chen Mei's vitality. Chen's mother was very distressed, watching Chen Mei staring at the bill in a daze, hiding in a corner where no one saw her to vent her emotions, and then continued to serve her. By the hospital bedside, make yourself light food.

Students in their teens have to bear the hospital's debts and run around all at once.

Chen Mei pushed a small cart to the nearby construction site in the cold winter months, selling noodles by burning stoves. Seeing that Chen Mei was young and easy to bully, the peddlers around took over the stalls, and they were all beaten back by Chen Mei, like misers. Count the money and hand it over to the hospital.

Mother Chen's heart ached, she couldn't control it, and she shed tears. Xiaomei's best years were spent in hardship and confusion, and she felt distressed.

"Mom, what's the matter?"

Mother Chen's crying was very secretive, and she didn't want to disturb the emotions of the people around her, but Chen Mei found out, she quickly wiped away the tears for Mother Chen with a tissue, and asked softly.

"It's okay, I'm happy today." Mother Chen wiped away her tears and asked seriously, "Is Xiao Zhou really nice to you?"

Because of Zhou Jingyang, Xiaomei has returned to her previous appearance, with a warm light all over her body, perhaps she is someone worthy of entrustment.

When Chen Mei heard this, she nodded and said, "He treats me very well, and I like being with him. Mom, I never knew that I would like another man."

"It's fine if you like it. If he's sorry for you, you can tell mom." Mother Chen touched Chen Mei's head.

Chen Mei nodded and said with a smile, "Okay."

Early the next morning.

Chen's mother woke up the hangover Chen's father with a loud voice. Chen's father got up from the bed in a daze, and asked Chen's mother what he was going to do when he got up so early.

"Go back and clean up the vegetables in the field, and there is a yard of chickens and ducks waiting for you to feed them!"

The vegetable fields in the countryside haven't been cleaned up completely. Although the chickens and ducks have asked neighbors to take care of them, they can't always bother them.

Chen's mother washed the washcloth, wiped Chen's father's face to wake him up, and said: "It's too long to stay, come back next time when you have time, why don't you want to leave."

Father Chen aggrieved to get up and get dressed, he didn't say he was going to leave yesterday, but he made such a sudden decision today.

When Chen Mei heard the movement, she realized that her parents were so eager to leave, so she was about to drive to see them off, but was blocked by Chen's mother with a strong attitude, saying that they would save their own energy by tossing back and forth.

In the end, Chen Mei had no choice but to send Chen's father and mother to the station, reluctantly saying that she would go to see them earlier next time, and Chen's mother joked that the bigger they are, the more clingy they are.

In fact, Mother Chen wanted to leave space for Chen Mei to be alone and get along with Zhou Jingyang, so as not to be embarrassed by her. Staying here would not just disturb their love. people.

Chen's mother still has a difficult task to guide Chen's father to understand his son's difficulties.

Being a mother is delicate, Mother Chen thought, since Chen Mei likes someone, she can only bless her and not make Chen Mei feel pressured.

"Thank you mom."

Chen Mei saw her mother's attitude, and gave Chen's mother a hug before leaving. Chen's father stood beside him and shouted sourly, and Chen Mei also hugged Chen's father.

Chen's mother whispered disgustedly: "Old boy, don't feel ashamed."

After sending her parents away, Chen Mei went back to the noodle shop to tidy up briefly. Chen Mei calculated the store's income and expenses.

The noodle shop was bought in the early years, saving the rent. The biggest expense is the purchase of ingredients. After paying off the last bill owed by Chen's mother three years ago, Chen Mei's can save a lot every year, but Chen Mei didn't check the bills carefully, just enough to spend, and deposit the money in the bank after earning it.

"Only this." Chen Mei frowned, "Nothing is enough."

There are about 10,000+ plus or minus on the book. The noodle restaurant is located in the old street, and only nearby residents and tenants here will come to eat, and Chen Mei is busy in the store alone, and there is no take-out service. The business is still good. Small noodle restaurants are not a big money business.

Facing Chen’s mother’s ward bills in the past, Chen Mei felt that the amount on the bill would never be paid off. Her father had been working outside for several years, and the family had worked hard for seven or eight years, and finally they could rest up.

Chen Mei doesn't work as hard as before, she only stays at the store, and spends weekends doing something she likes. He can fish by the lake for an afternoon and tend flowers and plants in the small yard.

So the money saved was not much. Before, one person and one cat would feed the whole family, but now that Chen Mei wanted to do something for Zhou Jingyang, the money was obviously not enough.

Chen Mei needs to make some plans for the future.

Taking advantage of the fact that there were no customers in the store, Chen Mei wrote down the things she could think of by the window with her notebook in her hand. Chen Mei's handwriting was green and rough, and she had never used a pen for many years, but she was patient and wrote every word horizontally and vertically. Straight, the whole article does not look messy.

Chen Mei wants to open a branch in the urban area in the future. The area does not need to be too large. Today's young people don't like dine-in, and takeaway is more in line with their life rhythm.

However, Chen Mei thought for a while and continued to write. If the workload increased, he would definitely not be able to do it alone, and he needed to hire reliable workers.

Ling Ling finally figured out that her savings were not enough. Chen Mei worried about money for a long time, because she would live with Zhou Jingyang in the future and needed to buy a big house. They also had cats and dogs, and the location was better. It is also convenient to live.

"Take your time, don't rush." ​​Chen Mei said to herself, taking a deep breath.

"jingle--"

The guest pushed the door open and said loudly: "Boss, let me have a bowl of old noodle soup, and add some stewed pork."

"Okay." Chen Mei put away the notebook, and went to work in response, there will always be a way.

At about seven o'clock, Chen Meicai came down to relax and cleaned up the leftovers from the meal. Chen Mei stretched out her hand and rubbed her shoulders, picked up her mobile phone to read the information, and after being with Zhou Jingyang for a long time, Chen Mei became more concerned about the social software on her mobile phone.

Sure enough, there are several unread messages.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, "Kiss Meimei (???3?)"

At five o'clock in the afternoon, "Hug Meimei (?ˊ??ˋ)?"

At six o'clock in the afternoon, "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo L

Chen Mei looked at the time, it was 07:30, Chen Mei hesitated to send Jing Yang some food now, he would be happy, but...
