Rebirth Restaurant

The thirtieth day of the twelfth lunar month is the year, and it will be the day after tomorrow.

It was almost noon and the room was almost tidied up. Someone had already cleaned it, and Lin Lin tidied up the rest when he came back, and it didn't take much effort.

"Knock knock..."

Just when I was about to get ready for lunch, there was a knock on the door outside.

Wang Meng shouted outside, "Lin Lin, Lin Lin, are you back?" Wang Meng came over to see if Lin Lin hadn't come back, but he didn't expect to see that the lock on the courtyard door was unlocked, and he pushed it twice. Put the door open without pushing.

Who would have the key to this house except Lin Lin and his mother? Thinking of a possibility, Wang Meng knocked on the door and shouted excitedly.

This kid, is he going to tear down the door of my house?Lin Lin had a helpless smile on his face.

"Brother." Lin Xiaohao looked at his brother and said, "Someone is here."

"Well, yes. Brother Wang Meng is here, go open the door." Lin Lin put down the towel in his hand, got up and walked outside.

Pulling the latch behind the door, he saw Wang Meng outside. This kid has grown taller and stronger after not seeing him in a semester!

"Lin Lin! It's really you who are back." Wang Meng strode forward and grabbed Lin Lin's shoulders vigorously with both hands. Seeing that Lin Lin really came back, he was so excited that he didn't even know what to say. "I, I thought you guys wouldn't come back for the New Year! That, that..."

"I'm back, haven't I? We just arrived. Don't worry, come inside, sit down and talk slowly." Lin Lin smiled calmly and asked Wang Meng to come in and sit down.

"Yes." Wang Meng turned into a dog's leg in seconds.

Seeing Lin Lin and his younger brother Lin Xiaohao, he felt that he looked very kind and cute. Wang Meng picked it up and held it in his arms, and said, "The boy is not bad. He has grown taller, and he has gained a lot of weight."

"Brother Wang Meng." Lin Xiaohao was no stranger to Wang Meng, and knowing that he was his brother's friend, he obediently called out.

"Do you still remember Brother Mengzi?" Wang Meng asked.

"Remember." Lin Xiaohao replied.

After entering the house, Lin Lin poured Wang Meng a bowl of hot water, and Wang Meng took the water and thanked him.

Lin Lin sat down and said, "I went back to my grandpa's place a few days ago. I stayed at my grandpa's place for a few days before I came back, so I didn't come back until today. Your mother and you helped clean my house, right? Sorry for the trouble, I haven’t had time to go there yet, thank you.”

He originally wanted to go to Wang Meng's house later, but he didn't expect Wang Meng to come first.

"It's a small matter, isn't it just cleaning the house? We just thought you'd come back later and clean up the house for the New Year. It's not a big deal." Wang Meng waved his hand hurriedly. What's the matter, if it weren't for Lin Lin's guidance, he wouldn't know where to squat now!He went to No. [-] Middle School in the county, and his parents were happily going to burn incense to his ancestors and tell his ancestors that the family was a successful scholar. Lin Lin went to Chongming early, and his parents didn't have a chance to thank Lin Lin.

The house at home helped him take care of it, and cleaning the yard was not a difficult task.

Hearing Lin Lin said that he went to his grandfather's place, Wang Meng also guessed it, he said, "I just guessed

You may have gone to your grandfather's place. Lin Sen and I planned to go to Zhaojiagouzi to find you, but you came back unexpectedly

If Lin Lin doesn't come back, Wang Meng will go to Zhaojiagouzi to look for him tomorrow.

The little friends haven't seen each other for a long time, they can only communicate through letters, chatting about life and study in school.Lin Lin mentioned in his letter that he came back on New Year's Day, but they didn't meet each other that time. When he saw the letter, Wang Meng felt so annoyed. I can meet Lin Lin.

"How are you and A Sen doing in school? Are you still used to life in high school?" Lin Lin asked with a smile.

"Oh, you don't know, I got the bottom of the class in the first mock exam when I first entered high school. You also know that my grades are not as good as yours..." Wang Meng stretched out his hand and scratched his head, He didn't tell Lin Lin about this matter in the letter, and he didn't feel ashamed to complain to his best friend until they met.

His grades were poor, and he couldn't keep up with his classmates at work. Wang Meng studied desperately, so his grades gradually improved.

Lin Lin nodded when he heard Wang Meng's words. If this kid is willing to use his brain, he is not bad. "There is a period of adaptation when I first entered high school. I have to adjust my mentality. I pay attention to learning in a gradual manner, and I will gradually improve. , You are doing very well. If you did not study well in the past, it does not mean that you will not study well in the future. If you did not work hard, you will regress in your grades if you study well before. You still need to work hard on your studies. "

"That's not true." Wang Meng drank more than half a bowl of water in one gulp, his mouth felt parched.

Then Wang Meng talked about the fact that he and Lin Sen also used their spare time in school to set up a stall outside to sell melon seeds. During the summer vacation, they made a small fortune selling melon seeds, which gave them a taste of the sweetness. I didn't throw away this side job even in high school.

"We can take out the food expenses and materials we usually spend at school, and we don't have to ask for money from our family. Later, Lin Sen and I followed your suggestion and carried chestnuts from home and fried chestnuts. Going to sell it on the street, my dad saw that he was making a lot of money and ran to the town to sell fried chestnuts, hehehe...

There are many wild chestnut trees on the mountain on their side. When autumn comes, the mountains and plains are full of chestnuts. When they were young, they would go up the mountain with their family to hunt chestnuts. No one would have thought of picking up chestnuts and selling them in the market. go outside.

Not to mention, there is a stall on the side of the road selling fried chestnuts. The freshly fried chestnuts are fragrant and sweet, and the price is not expensive. There is a small bag for [-] cents, and some passers-by are willing to stop and buy a handful.Originally, this thing is a no-cost business, it just needs some labor to do it, and all the profits are profit, and it is also a profitable business

Before when he didn't have time, he asked his dad to send them chestnuts every week. His dad simply stayed in the town to sell chestnuts when he saw that he was making money. When they were on weekends, his dad would go home and transport chestnuts.

Later on, the weather was cold, and nothing could be grown in the fields. Lin Sen's parents also followed his father to hunt chestnuts from the mountains and sell them in the town. It was a lot of money, so they would have more money to eat during the Chinese New Year. of.

"Well, it's good for you to be like this. Life is made by people, and you have to find a way to make life better." Lin Lin heard Wang Meng say that they set up a stall outside to do business and developed to the point where their parents also Following the matter of going out to do business, the hard work involved is not worth mentioning, but the hard work paid is not worth mentioning.

will return.

In the future, when the people in the village slowly go out, everyone's life will gradually improve.There are people who started before, and there are people who follow behind.His father was one of the first group of people in the village to go out to work and do business, and he also made a little money. If his parents hadn't left early, life at home should be okay. Thinking of these things, Lin Lin's heart It is also a pity.

Speaking of chestnuts, Lin Lin remembered that the price of nuts such as chestnuts and walnuts will become more and more expensive in the future. More and more people know how to eat nuts and know that eating nuts is good for the body. Followed up, this industry is also a profitable industry.

After taking the land from his uncle and second uncle, Lin Lin has been thinking about what to plant here, and now he has an idea in his mind.There are a few acres of land in his home that are sloping land, and some chestnut trees and hazelnut trees can be planted on it. Now the trees will not bloom and bear fruit so quickly, and it will be several years before the trees grow and bear fruit in a few years.As for the few acres of land below, he wants to plant something himself, or lend it to others for farming. He may have other plans in the future, but he can't tell now.

The land is cheap now, and in ten or eight years it will be an era when every inch of land is very expensive. The price of land keeps rising, and the landlord's family is the richest person.If he has the money to buy more land, he will definitely not dislike it in the future, but now he does not have so much spare money in his hands, and land investment is definitely an investment that is sure to make money.

Lin Lin had some thoughts in his heart, but no money is just a fantasy no matter in any era.

The two sat down and chatted for a while. Seeing that it was almost time, Lin Lin was going to prepare lunch. He said to Wang Meng, "You can stay for lunch at noon. I'll go and make lunch."

When he came back, he planned to pack two pieces of clothes and come back. He never thought that Zhou Shihai had prepared a lot of food and things for him to bring back. He didn't know when that person prepared something for him to take home for the New Year. .But all the preparations were made, so he had no choice but to bring them back.

He left some food for his grandfather at his grandfather's place, and he brought the rest back.

"No, no, I'll go home and eat." When Wang Meng heard that Lin Lin wanted to keep him for dinner, Wang Meng jumped up and was about to leave, but Lin Dong grabbed him.Lin Lin looked at the people who were about to run home, stared at Wang Meng and said firmly, "Leave after lunch, and I brought a lot of things back, you can pick some up and take them home later." "I Where can I get your things? My mother screwed off my ears when she knew it. Why did you buy so many things and come back? It’s not easy for you to go outside, so it’s better to save a little.” Wang Meng heard that Lin Lin had brought a lot of things. When the things came back, I was worried that he would spend money indiscriminately.It's not that he doesn't understand the situation in Lin Lin's family. It's so wasteful to earn such a little money.

"I didn't buy it, it was given by me...a classmate. I usually give that classmate a make-up lesson. I can't get his tuition fee. When I know I'm back, I prepare some food to bring back. It's not expensive. things." Lin Lin made an excuse, he didn't intend to let others know about his relationship with Zhou Shihai, this explanation can also be justified.

This is also true, he usually tutors Zhou Shihai and has never received tuition fees from him.

"Oh." That's okay, Wang Meng nodded.

At noon, Wang Meng stayed at Lin Lin's place for lunch. Lin Lin served noodles with a layer of sliced ​​ham on the surface of the bowl. eat well

only.

After lunch, Wang Meng played with Lin Lin for a while, seeing that Lin Xiaohao was going to take a nap when his eyes were sleepy, and he didn't want to disturb Lin Lin, so he went home.Before he left, he still carried the stuff that Lin Lin had pretended for him.

Xi, there is a pack of big white rabbit candies and ham meat in the bag, which is what they eat at noon, and the taste is delicious.

When he went home and said that Lin Lin was back, his mother knew that Lin Lin was back.

As soon as his mother heard him say that Lin Lin was going to Lin Lin's place when he came back, Wang said hurriedly, "Mom, don't go, Lin Lin might be taking a nap, you should go later, so as not to Go and quarrel with others."

That's what I said, it's the same when I go again later.

"Hey, where did you get this thing from?" Wang Meng's mother saw that her son was carrying something in his hand before realizing where it might have been taken back from, and twisted her son's ear with one hand, heartbroken. He said, "How can you take what Xiao Lin gave you? It's not like you don't know the situation at Xiao Lin's house? It's fine if we don't send him things over there, and you still take things from his house!"

In the past, when Lin Lin's mother was still alive, the couple would always buy a lot of good things when they came back from the city for the New Year, and sent them to their grandma, and they would also send them to their close friends.The two of them were very close, and he and Lin Lin's mother had a very good relationship. At that time, the family was poor and he couldn't get rid of it, and he didn't have anything good to give to others.

Thinking of the kind and beautiful woman leaving early and leaving behind two poor children, the third aunt couldn't help but shed tears.

"Hey, mom, don't cry, can't I be wrong?" Lin Lin forced him to take it back, and he never admitted that he wanted to eat that meat, it was really delicious.When Wang Meng saw that his mother was crying because of his anger, he hurried to comfort his mother, told his mother what Lin Lin said, and promised, "I'll send him the things back later, okay, my good mother Honey, don't cry."

After a while his father came back and saw his mother crying in anger, and he was definitely going to whip him with a stick. Wang Meng looked straight out of the door, afraid that his father would come back right now.

Wang Meng's mother wiped away tears, glared at her son, grabbed the bag and opened it to look, and saw that there was sugar and meat inside, the sugar was good sugar, and the meat was good meat, and her tears were about to fall again. .

The woman wiped the corners of her eyes with her hand, and thought that it would not be appropriate to send it back after her son brought it back, and said, "Since you have it back, don't send it back. Mom will pick up the dishes and meat later, and grab it later." You send the two chickens to Xiao Lin's house, and just ask him to come to our house to eat for a few days during the Chinese New Year, so that the two little ones don't have to start a fire by themselves."

Crackling in her heart, she ran outside to catch chickens.

Wang Meng in the back wiped off his sweat, and sure enough, women are fickle. No wonder Confucius said that only women and villains are difficult to raise!

The sage does not deceive me.
