Rebirth of the backing and eating mountains

After more than a month of construction, in late July, the framing of the new house was finally completed, and we are waiting for the beam frame to be completed, and the beam can be installed on a good day.The upland rice in the field will be harvested soon, and most of the construction team members are from the village, and they happen to have time to do the work in the field without any delay.The family kept them for a meal and calculated their wages. The construction team left with a smile.

An Jingsheng was the last to go, holding the money bag in silence, thinking for a while, and said to An Xuan rarely: "I know what happened to An Chun, and the beating is not wronged." After speaking, he turned and left.An Xuan waited for a while before he understood the meaning of his words, smiled and shook his head.

Most of the carpenters are craftsmen, and they rely on their craftsmanship for a living. Among the carpenters hired by An Xuan's family, some are far away from home, and they live in the front yard at night.Three meals a day plus noon and all the carpenters have to eat at home. Each meal has to cook meals for several people. Han Shi and Zhao Yu would come to help before, but now the rice in the field is at a critical time, and Fang Bo’s family is also busy. The work in the field, besides, there is a child in his family waiting to be fed, so he has no time to take care of it, and he can't come over often, only Qin Feng and Song Chu are busy at home.

Song Chu was not good at cooking, and most of the time he just added more firewood and started to fight. Although Qin Feng knew how to cook a little, he couldn't compare with the people who were always around the pot. After a few days, the busy people were haggard. An Xuan saw it in his eyes, and when he was sleeping at night, he felt a little distressed when he touched Qin Feng's hand.Qin Feng, the son of the Qin family, is talented in literature, amazingly talented, his hands should be born to hold chess and pens, and play the piano, but he has to hold a spatula and do the most vulgar work. Calluses are worn out on the palms of his hands. It is no longer as smooth as before.

Looking at his expression, Qin Feng understood what he was thinking, pulled out his hand, and said nonchalantly: "I used to cook occasionally, but now I do it every day, and it's fun. You should know that cooking is like writing, and you are also knowledgeable." Yes, I've just learned something, so don't disappoint me."

An Xuan lowered his head and grabbed his hand tenaciously. He rushed forward, kissed each other twice, and suddenly said, "Let's invite two people."

An Xuan has said these words a lot, but they were all rejected by Qin Feng. Seeing him bring it up again this time, Qin Feng refused as usual: "I said..."

An Xuan interrupted him, and said to himself: "No way, hiring people is not a long-term solution, it's better to buy a few people who need to clean and wash, and especially buy a cook who specializes in cooking. .”

Qin Feng couldn't see his expression, but felt that An Xuan's hands were trembling slightly. If he wanted to refuse, he couldn't say any more. He gently pulled out his hand and touched An Xuan's cheek. Wet and cold, An Xuan grabbed his hand and buried his face in his palm.

In the early morning of the next day, An Rubao rubbed his eyes and walked out of the room. An Xuan was already waiting at the door, dragged him to a corner and gave him a few instructions, then gave him a bag of silver before leaving.An Rubao put the money in his arms and went to wash up.Then go back to the house and change clothes.

These days, because he is afraid that the decorator will misunderstand what he means, he has to go to the shop to watch every day. There is An Shuisheng on the mountain, so he doesn't worry much, but those earth pearls, he has spent countless efforts on them, and he has not paid attention to them. Ignore it, and have to go up the mountain to see it a few times a day before I can rest assured.It's just that his health is not good at all, so it's a little bit unbearable to travel around for a few days, and he always has a backache when he wakes up.

Just as they were changing, Song Chu hurried in, took out the short clothes he wore on the mountain and changed, An Rubao asked, "Are you going too?" He reached out for the clothes to wear, patted his chest and said, "From now on, I will go up the mountain for you, so don't go."

An Rubao was caught off guard by him. Hearing what he said, he looked him up and down suspiciously, shook his head and reached for his clothes in Song Chu's hand, and said, "You? Let's forget it, I'd rather Let Dad go, you'd better stay at home."

Unconvinced, Song Chu stretched his neck and shouted: "You look down on me, what's wrong with me, what's wrong with me, isn't it just a few ground pearls, I still can't see it?"

An Rubao squinted at him and said, "I'm afraid that a rabbit will come and hook your soul away."

Song Chu blinked a little guilty, then stared and said stiffly: "Then... isn't there you? You're not here, I... I am naturally doing business wholeheartedly."

An Rubao pinched his face and said, "Is it my fault? Not to mention that you only think about the wild animals on the mountain every day." Song Chu giggled, grabbed his hand and said, "You see, you are tired these days If it’s broken, just let me go, I promise I won’t be half-hearted.”

An Rubao knew that he felt sorry for him, and felt warm in his heart. His eyes flashed, he raised his eyebrows, and tapped his lips with his finger. Song Chu immediately rushed forward to hug him and kissed him several times. An Rubao hugged him again. After wrestling with him for a while, he finally agreed.

An Hua drove the carriage to pick An Rubao on time.He was worried that An Rubao would go to the town alone, and he had to follow him. When An Rubao came out, he was carrying Chu Li out of the car. Chu Li stood on the ground, still holding on to his sleeve tightly. , puffed out her cheeks, and seemed to follow suit.

Not to mention that the commute to and from the town is not close, the shop is full of grandpas, and it is impossible for Anhua to take him with him. During this period of time, he was trying to find a way to put him at Anxuan's house, and now he is busy following him. When An Rubao came out, Song Chu gave him a wink, and Song Chu understood, he stepped forward and took Chu Li's hand, and said in a persuasive way: "Xiao Li, do you want to go up the mountain to play? Brother is going up the mountain today, do you want to go too? I'll tell you You hit a rabbit?"

Chu Li's eyes lit up after "rubbing", and his fingers loosened without knowing it, but he still had a conscience, hugged Anhua and kissed him twice, then waved his hands and followed Song Chu without looking back, letting Anhua was speechless.

Anhua's horse is much younger than Anxuan's old horse, and it took less than half an hour to reach the town.The decorators in the shop had already started work. Seeing Anhua's carriage parked at the door, the leader put down his work and came up to meet him.

Ever since An Rubao made a joke on the first day of work, in the heart of the leader, An Rubao was a layman, so he didn't take him very seriously.But as time went by, he was more and more amazed day by day. He was also an old man who had been decorating for more than ten years, but An Rubao had some ideas, which he had never heard of before, and he couldn't imagine them at all. After a few times, his contempt was greatly reduced, and his attitude towards An Rubao became more respectful.

An Rubao got out of the car, and went around with An Hua first. After a few days of work, most of the decoration has been completed, and the grocery store has a certain look. An Rubao nodded in satisfaction while watching, and said: " good."

The leader smiled and said: "Speaking of it, the little boss's idea is really good. Those of us who are used to it will find it unusual, let alone other people. When this shop opens, it will definitely If it can cause a commotion in the town, then we workers will be rewarded as well." There are two bosses in the shop, in order to distinguish them, they call Anhua the big boss and An Rubao the little boss.

An Rubao's heart moved slightly when he heard the words. The leader's attitude towards him was quite perfunctory before. Although he didn't know why he changed later, he had never complimented him like this before. After making some guesses, he smiled immediately and ignored his words.

The leader followed him for a few steps, but before he could finish, his heart skipped a beat.These two shops are about to be completed and will open soon. When the time comes, the unique decoration of this shop will definitely attract a group of shops to follow suit. As constructors, they will be the first choice for decoration, and this opportunity to make money will naturally That's more.It's just that the idea of ​​decorating this shop all came from this little boss. He didn't dare to use it for others without authorization, so he wanted to test the ideas of the two bosses, but he was a little anxious in the end, fearing that the other party knew his intentions.

He sneaked a few glances at An Rubao, seeing that he was not sullen, thought for a while, and said: "The young boss has so many novel ideas in his heart, it really opened my old Zhao's eyes, I don't know ... I wonder where you learned it, little boss?"

An Rubao saw that he was gradually revealing his true intentions, so he didn't say anything, but said: "I don't have any other hobbies, but I like to read some miscellaneous books. Most of these things are read from the books, Brother Zhao, are you also interested? If that's the case, it's easy to handle, I'll bring you the book some other day." Brother Zhao is the leader, his surname is Zhao, and everyone calls him Datou Zhao.

Hearing what he said, Zhao Datou pulled a wry smile, and sighed: "Little boss is really good at joking. If I can read, I wouldn't use it here as a coolie. I would have gone to take the exam for the number one scholar of Laoshizi. I am old." Zhao can't speak, so don't mind the little boss. Presumably the little boss knows what I mean. Seeing that your shop is about to open, the business must be booming by then. After the house is installed, I just want to ask, if someone comes to us, can we... can we..." He didn't say the rest, but everyone understood it.

Before An Rubao could answer, An Hua sneered and said, "Brother Zhao is very calculating. What my brother has worked so hard to think of, you just want to keep it for yourself. How can there be such a reason?! Then Yes, according to what you mean, the big and small shops in Anping Town all have to look the same, so why are we so busy now?"

Zhao Datou really hadn't thought about this question, so he couldn't help being stunned.

An Rubao said: "Brother Zhao, although my elder brother's words are not pleasant to listen to, the truth is true. These thoughts are actually not surprising when I think about them carefully, but they have taken up a new word. If even this is gone , it is meaningless. However, I also know that when this shop opens, someone will find Brother Zhao's door, and I can't block your money for my own sake, this..." He said in the There was a deliberate pause here, Zhao Datou was stretching his neck to listen, when he finally got to a critical place, he broke, scratching his ears and cheeks anxiously.

An Rubao laughed secretly in his heart, and continued: "I have always admired Brother Zhao as a man, and your team are all honest people, and the work is really good. Alas, it's really a dilemma... If it's someone else, I will definitely not agree to it." Yes, but who asked me to call you big brother, forget it, if someone really comes to you to install a shop in the future, you... just promise him."

An Hua was a little anxious when he heard the last sentence, but he knew that An Rubao had always had ideas, so he resisted asking, but Zhao Datou was surprised and happy after hearing it, and was a little moved. He didn't know how to respond, Nuo After making a promise for a while, Fang said: "This...isn't this going to affect the business of the two bosses?"

An Rubao sighed: "That's something that can't be helped. I can't let you push the money out of your hands. In this way, if Brother Zhao is really sorry, then I wonder if Brother Zhao can find a way to make the first shop behind us. Open again in January?"

Zhao Datou is a shrewd person who can be the leader, so he immediately understood what he meant. Now that he has picked up a big bargain, there is no reason why he should not take it. He nodded immediately and asked cautiously: "I don't know, Do the two bosses have any other requests?"

An Rubao shook his head, and said, "I only have one request, and I hope Brother Zhao can do what he says." Zhao Datou was overjoyed, he thought that An Rubao would want to share [-] to [-]% of the proceeds, so he swore right away It must be done, and reached an agreement with An Rubao on the spot.

An Hua stood aside, feeling a little puzzled, but he wasn't a fool, so he didn't stop him.

Zhao Datou told other people about it, and the workers worked extraordinarily hard that day, and even Anhua showed some approval when they saw it.At noon, the two invited the workers to have dinner at the restaurant in the town as a reward. In the afternoon, the two stayed in the shop for a while. Seeing that everyone was full of energy, they talked to Zhao Datou and drove away.

When they were far away from the shop, An Huafang asked, "Rubao, tell me, what do you think?"

An Rubao knew that Anhua didn't think about it, and it was rare to hold back the question for so long, so he couldn't help but pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Brother, do you see that our shop is beautifully decorated? Actually, I didn't think of these things myself. , but from other places, we are laymen who don't understand, as long as the insiders look at it a few times, we can see the way, and it won't be long before we can pretend to be exactly the same. Believe it or not? Instead of this, we might as well just Selling Zhao Datou and the others as a favor will guarantee that our shop will be unique in Anping Town within one month, which is enough for us to make a name for ourselves. Besides, this kind of pretense is not suitable for any shop. Let them toss around."

An Hua was really worried that An Rubao would be stupid this time. Now that he heard An Rubao's explanation, he thought carefully that this was the truth, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.
