ill

Lu Anze rented a single apartment in the downtown area of ​​City C, took out the two sets of clothes he brought with him and the pajamas made by his sister, hung them up, and took out his bank card from the middle of his bag.There is 79 yuan in this card.He sat on the fabric sofa of the apartment, weighed the bank card back and forth in his hand, looked at it for a long time, and thought for a long time: Let’s open a restaurant, I don’t know anything else, everyone loves to eat, right? what?

So I started to pay attention to the facade and store transfer information, and planned to take it when I encountered a good one.While working in various restaurants for research, he worked in each restaurant for about a week. After working for nearly four months, he got to know more than a dozen restaurants, and finally decided to open a Sichuan restaurant, because the Sichuan restaurants he worked in generally had the best business.

After making the decision, Lu Anze invited the chef Gao Hu to have supper that day.The location of this Sichuan restaurant where Gao Hu works is not good, but the customer flow is very stable, and there are many repeat customers, which shows that everyone loves his dishes.Lu Anze wanted to poach him.

Gao Hu is a real person, and usually received a lot of good cigarettes from the waiter in the front hall. When Lu Anze said that he wanted to treat him to supper, he firmly disagreed: "Brother! I must treat you today, I must! But I don't treat you to dinner, I Take you to a good place."

After get off work at 12:30, Gao Hu took Lu Anze around to a small pedicure shop.As soon as Gao Hu entered, the proprietress stood up and greeted him familiarly: "Brother Hu brought friends here today," she looked at Lu Anze several times.He opened a box for two people to lead them in, and turned around to ask the technician to prepare water.

The space inside this private room is small enough to place only two massage chairs and two technician stools. There are resurgent water stains crawling around the corners of the walls, and the room smells musty. This is the first time Lu Anze has come to such a place.Gao Hu yelled and lay down on the massage chair inside, and asked Lu Anze to also lie down on the chair next to him, "Why are you standing there, your feet don't hurt after standing for a whole day."

Lu Anze sat on the edge of the massage chair and looked at the price list hanging on the wall, feeling uncomfortable in this small space.Fortunately, after a while, two young women in their twenties and wearing miniskirts came in with two basins of water.

Lu Anze lay down, and one of the young women sat opposite him, helping him take off his slippers, socks, wash his feet and wipe his feet.Lu Anze lay quietly, the little woman put his feet on the soft stool and began to pinch his feet.Unlike ordinary laborers, Lu Anze has either been sleeping or sitting for the past two years, and rarely walks. His pair of slender feet are very white and tender, and the hands of the little woman who pinched his feet are particularly rough on his feet. While pinching his feet, he sniggered, feeling as if he was eating human tofu.The plump little woman pinching Gao Hu's feet also glanced here from time to time, and Gao Hu said angrily when he saw it, "What are you looking at? Isn't it nice for me to spend so much money here?"

Gao Hu ordered that plump little woman every time he came, he was an old friend.Seeing that Gao Hu was upset, the woman rubbed her chest on his feet and squeezed her eyes.Gao Hu looked at Lu Anze and laughed, thinking that this little brother should blush.

Lu Anze has long been accustomed to these ambiguous things, and he is no stranger to them. He turned to look at Gao Hu, and cut to the point: "Brother Hu, I have something to talk to you about."

"What's the matter, I, Gao Hu, will definitely help if I can." Gao Hu looked like a farmer, came out of the countryside, and was sincere to others.

Lu Anze looked at Gao Hu: "I'm opening a Sichuan restaurant, twice the size of this one. Come and help me."

Gao Hu leaned up and looked at him, and said in disbelief, "You? Open a restaurant? You're only a waiter and you have this idea?"

Lu Anze said, "Do you think I look like a waiter?" He knew that the clothes he usually wears are not bad, and his temperament is different from other waiters. When you come, you will be the chef, and I will assign you a team.” Qingyang Road is not far from the city center of C City, with a large flow of people, and it has become a gourmet street by itself, but there is no Sichuan cuisine.Lu Anze bought a store with a good location there half a month ago, and hired a professional decoration team to renovate it.

Gao Hu lay back and thought, Lu Anze saw that there was hope, and continued: "You can raise your salary by 30%. This salary is the highest in the market."

Gao Hu thought for a while and asked him, "How much do you plan to invest?"

"About 40." Lu Anze kept 30 for emergency.

Gao Hu said, "Are you a rich second generation?"

Lu Anze smiled noncommittally, and then said: "Brother Hu, I know you are aggrieved in this store, and you turn over the table three times on average at night, so it stands to reason that you should be assigned a chopping board master."

Gao Hu has worked in this store for more than two years, and he has most of the credit for the success of the business, but the boss is very stingy, the business is getting more and more popular, but the back kitchen staff does not provide more staff, which makes Gao Hu tired every day. Pain, shoulders are swollen, the boss is not willing to raise wages, Lu Anze knows all this.Seeing that Gao Hu hesitated, Lu Anze said: "Brother Hu, don't worry, come to my shop tomorrow morning to have a look. I won't treat you badly."

Gao Hu said: "Good!"

After massaging his feet, Gao Hu wanted to go inside with the plump little woman for a full-body massage, leaving Lu Anze in the box, and winking at him before going out, meaning that he could do something else with the remaining technician.Lu Anze smiled and nodded at him, and when Gao Hu left, he settled the accounts of the two of them and left.

In the fifth month since Lu Anze arrived in City C, he opened the first Alu Sichuan restaurant.He signed up for a crash course and learned to drive, and bought a van to do grocery shopping.Get up before dawn every day, and go back to the apartment to sleep in the middle of the night.In this busy life, I have gradually integrated into the lives of ordinary people.

I originally thought that I could see my sister and grandma in C City, but I didn't expect to find out after doing things that it took me a long time to go to my sister's house.

Lu Anze Hotel opened for the third time

Only then did I have time to drive the van to Lu Anfang's house to have a look.This day has entered the scorching heat, and the factory area is empty and windy in the afternoon, but it is also very hot.Lu Anze brought a cart of vegetables, meat, wine and fruit over here. Guo Youping was willing to reach out to help carry things this time. He followed behind Lu Anze and asked the brother-in-law furtively: "Hey, you are afraid that you owe money and don't pay back, why don't you run away?" Way back." It refers to the 30 that Lu Anze got for the premature birth.Lu Anze didn't answer him.Guo Youping said again: "You must not tell your sister about this, or she will die in a hurry. She thought it only cost [-] to [-] yuan."

Lu Anze said, "I know."

Guo Youping finished farting as much as he wanted, and went back to his parents' room to continue playing games.In the scorching summer, Guo Youping sleeps on the floor in his parents' house, because only their room is hung with an old-fashioned air conditioner.Seeing that his sister's room was so hot that there was no air conditioner, Lu Anze took his grandma and Pingping to the supermarket to buy some.

After buying the air conditioner, it was past four o'clock in the afternoon, and Lu Anze and his grandma went for a walk in the nearby Workers' Park.Pingping ran to the sand pool to play in the sand like a puppy, grandma pulled Lu Anze to sit on the long chair beside her, and complained: "Little son, if I hadn't taken care of elder sister, I would have brought Pingping back to my hometown a long time ago, and I will live here all day. I can’t go down. How did Pingping find this place?” He took out his handkerchief and wiped his tears.Grandma Lu used to be the eldest lady of a big landlord's family. When she was ten years old, her home was ransacked, and she fell from the rich to the bottom of the barking dog.Fortunately, Grandma Lu looks like a fairy. When she was 16 years old, she talked about marrying a tall and handsome poor farmer's son, so she turned around and became the new master of the new world.Years of poor peasant life made Grandma Lu's fingers rough and her joints protruding.But there are still two or three points of the Jiao Didi raised since childhood.

Grandma Lu rubbed her tears for a while and then said: "It's also the eldest sister who has a hard life. Pingping is not a boy, otherwise there are not so many things. I shouldn't tell you about this, but I feel really sad if I don't tell you. There is no place to go. Your eldest sister was pregnant a while ago, and she fell again. The parents-in-law did not give your eldest sister a good confinement, and asked her to go to work after three days of rest at home, saying that the factory was too busy. Your eldest sister Come back from work at night and take a look, you can't even look at your face."

Lu Anze stood beside him without saying a word, and his expression turned cold.Grandma Lu said again: "Eldest sister is also strange. I have been pregnant three times in the past two years after I was born, and they all fell by themselves in three or two months. Someday, Xiaoer, take elder sister to the big hospital in the city to have a look. What should I do?" How to fix it." Grandma Lu didn't know that Lu Anfang had liver disease, and she almost died twice in her life before.She thought it was because her granddaughter was physically weak so she couldn't get pregnant.But Lu Anze knew the reason, he knew that his sister and Guo Youping also understood the reason, why did he let his sister get hurt so repeatedly? !

Lu Anze was furious.I drove to buy ten boxes of condoms, tied in plastic bags.At night, when I went back to my sister's house, I called Guo Youping into the van to talk to him.

Lu Anze first handed the condom to Lu Youping. He felt that he should not be in charge of this matter, but after thinking about it, he said, "Brother-in-law, my sister is not in good health and is not suitable for pregnancy, you know that?"

Guo Youping took the bag and opened it to see that it was a condom, with a mocking expression on his face.Seeing that expression, Lu Anze wanted to punch him in the face.After a pause, Lu Anze said again: "Girls are better than boys now. Why do we have to have a second child?"

Guo Youping said: "It's your sister herself. She is afraid of breaking our family's incense and insists on having a second child. This is not my fault."

Lu Anze glanced at him: "At least for the past two years, let my sister rest. If my sister doesn't go to work, I'll take her to the hospital. Let her recuperate first."

Guo Youping thought, yes, in the past two years, she lost her baby three times and went to the hospital to clear the palace. It cost her two or three thousand yuan, and each time she had to buy a stewed hen for her to eat.Two years is fine.He said: "I think so too, brother, don't worry." The plastic bag in Diandian's hand said: "But I'm afraid it won't be enough for two years."

Lu Anze said, "Yeah." He wondered where his sister found such a wonderful family.

Back in the house, Lu Anfang had already returned from get off work.Seeing Lu Anze, he asked him: "You know how to drive, when did you learn it? Where did the van look new?"

Lu Anze saw that his sister had a lot of fine lines under her eyes. At 23 years old, she didn't look as young as a 30-year-old woman in the city. Her waist and back were slightly bent, and she was still busy cleaning the house.He went over to hold his sister's hand and said, "I'll take you down to have a look."

Pulling Lu Anfang downstairs, Lu Anze said, "Sister, you have to take care of yourself, mediocrity is enough."

Lu Anfang said: "Grandma told you again, she just told you everything she couldn't hold her tongue."

Lu Anze said, "Otherwise, who are you going to tell?"

Lu Anfang changed the subject and said, "Where did you get this van from?"

Lu Anze said, "I'm a restaurant manager now, and I'm assigned to a grocery cart."

Lu Anfang immediately smiled and said, "You're not bad, you've already become a manager. I'm afraid the owner of your restaurant must have been kicked out of his head and let you be the manager."

Lu Anze said: "Our hotel owner is very nice." After speaking, he thought it was funny, so he also grinned.Siblings are always happier than sad when they are together.Lu Anze secretly made up his mind that he must work hard to earn money. Only when he is strong can his sister live well.
