105. Little Happiness in the 1970s (19)

Dad Yu's body is almost recovered now, except that his legs and feet are not very neat, there is absolutely no problem in doing some woodworking. He is doing very well in the furniture factory now, not only has he become a regular, but he also receives the salary of a senior worker, earning more than 80 yuan a month. He usually lives and eats in the factory, saving a lot of money every month. Every time he is on vacation, he will come back to see Grandma Yu and his sons, and send them the money he has saved.

Jiang Mo has told him many times that the family is not short of money now, let him collect the money he earns, eat and drink. But Dad Yu didn't listen. He always felt that he owed his eldest son. He was the backbone of the family, but he couldn't help at all. He had to let the eldest son support the whole family at such a young age.

Jiang Mo had no choice but to accept the money. After calculating that he had saved enough money, he simply found a house in the suburbs and bought it. It has a small yard with a single family and four rooms are very spacious and quiet. It is elegant and can also grow some fruits and vegetables in the yard, which is perfect.

Although it is a suburb, but because of the good quality of the house, it still costs nearly 2,000 yuan, which is almost the income of ordinary people who have been saving for two or three years without eating or drinking.

After Grandma Yu and Dad Yu found out about the price, they both felt pain for a while, but the house was really agreeable, so they gradually accepted it.

Jiang Mo asked Grandma Yu to quit her job and concentrate on taking care of Yu Xiaoxi. After all, Yu Xiaoxi was still a child and couldn't take good care of herself. She was always not at ease living in school. Grandma Yu was also old and was no longer suitable for going out every day.

Grandma Yu was still a little reluctant to do this job, but when she thought that her eldest grandson was now the head of a state-run hotel, the salary was 160 yuan a month, and the various tickets and subsidies were generous enough. The income is more than 200 yuan, enough to support the family. In order to take good care of the little grandson, I should quit my job.

So the old lady took care of her little grandson at home, doing all kinds of vegetables, embroidery and embroidery, and getting acquainted with the nearby neighbors, and her mood and body were much better. Jiang Mo and Dad Yu will also come back to live when they are resting, and the family is harmonious and beautiful.

After another two years, the state issued a notice to allow private shops to open. Jiang Mo immediately resigned from his job at the state-run restaurant. The manager of the state-run restaurant was very reluctant, but Jiang Mo had made up his mind, and the manager had to let him go. .

Jiang Mo took the money accumulated during this time and bought a shop in the best location in the city center, specializing in braised pork and pickles. Anyway, the most important thing about braised pork and kimchi is the soup there. As long as the braised soup and kimchi juice are prepared, you can soak the meat and chopped vegetables in it. It is much easier than selling stir-fried vegetables. Busy doing this every day.

Grandma Yu really didn't want her grandson to quit such a good job and learn how to do business. In the eyes of the older generation, stability is more important than anything else, so why take such a risk? But the grandson has always had a big idea, and Grandma Yu had no way to take him, so she just went with him.

Who knew that the business of Sun Tzu's small shop was very good, and the ingredients were delicious. It quickly became famous. As soon as the braised pork was out of the pot every day, it was looted. until next month. At the end of the month, when checked out, actually earned more than 2,000 yuan!

Grandma Yu: "!!!"

Grandma Yu didn't say anything about the state-owned units anymore. She was only worried that her grandson would be too tired to open a shop alone, and wanted to help him. But Jiang Mo just wanted to let the old man who had suffered all his life have a good rest, so he declined the old lady's kindness on the grounds that the home and the shop were too far away.

But the old lady still didn't give up, she actually brought a little girl from her hometown to Jiang Mo's shop.

"Xiao Nan, since you're so busy all day, it's better to ask someone to help you. This is Zhang Xiaotao, the daughter of your Aunt Hongxia. She's fifteen years old this year. It's really difficult for the six children in the family. Now we have the ability to help. Just help." Grandma Yu said, lowering her voice and said to Jiang Mo, "As Aunt Hongxia said, you don't need to give money, it's enough to eat and live."

The Zhang family is in the same difficulty as the Yu family.

Zhang Xiaotao had two braids, his clothes were dirty, and he was thin and small, just like Yu Xiaonan back then. The little girl looked timidly in Jiang Mo's direction, her big eyes full of hope.

"Okay, I'll give you ten yuan a month, three meals a month, and just live in the store." Jiang Mo sighed and finally accepted her.

He was actually thinking about finding a helper, but he hadn't found a suitable one yet. It would be nice to have someone delivered to his door, but unfortunately she was a thin and timid girl. How about it. However, grandma's face still had to be given, and the Zhang family was really in difficulty, so Jiang Mo agreed.

When the store was renovated, Jiang Mo came out of the store in a small room. The place was not too big, only five or six square meters. There was a single bed in it, which he usually used to rest. It's just right to live with Zhang Xiaotao now. The location of the store is in the most prosperous city center, and the police station is diagonally opposite, so there is no need to worry about the safety of the little girl. But for the pots and pans, you need to buy another extra, and then let Dad Yu help you to build two small cabinets. The girl has a lot of trivial affairs, so she has to give her some place to put things.

"Thank you, Brother Xiaonan! I will definitely work hard!" Zhang Xiaotao blushed with excitement.

Zhang Xiaotao is thin and small, but he works very neatly. It looks like he often works at home. He cleans the shop every day and learns things quickly. Because her family was poor, Zhang Xiaotao didn't go to class until the third grade of elementary school, but she could understand some simple Chinese characters and arithmetic.

Seeing that she was not as cowardly and weak as she thought, Jiang Mo began to teach her how to weigh meat, cut meat, and collect money. Zhang Xiaotao learned it in three days, and she also learned how to keep accounts. The income is carefully written down in the notebook, and the order is very clear. Jiang Mo was quite satisfied with this new employee, and directly doubled her salary.

Zhang Xiaotao was moved to tears, and she worked harder ever since.

******

Mu Hong left class early today, so he and his classmates went to the largest bookstore in the city to buy books. Thinking that it was very close to Yu Xiaonan's store, he simply went to pick him up and go home with him. Although Yu Xiaonan has bought a house now, it is too far from the city center, so he usually lives in the shepherd's house, and only occasionally returns to the suburban house to live for two days.

Who knew that when he came to Yuji Braised Meat Shop, he found a young girl busy in front of the counter.

"Hello, what do you want to buy? The braised chicken feet are sold out, and there are others." Zhang Xiaotao said with a smile on her face.

"Where's your boss?" Mu Hong asked.

"Brother Xiao Nan is going to stock up! It is estimated that he will be back in a while!" Zhang Xiaotao answered honestly, "Sir, are you a friend of Brother Xiao Nan? Why don't you come and have a look later?"

Hearing her sip a little Nange, Mu Hong's heart was inexplicably uncomfortable.

"No, I'll just wait here."

The little girl gave him an embarrassed look, "I'm sorry, Brother Xiao Nan said that no one can come in casually in the store, otherwise I'll get you a stool, you can sit outside..."

This time, Mu Hong felt even more awkward. He was actually stopped outside Yu Xiaonan's shop. This was something that had never happened before.

"Fairy Wood"

But he also knew that the little girl didn't know him, and he was not allowed to enter for safety reasons. There was nothing wrong with it, but he felt a little uncomfortable for no reason.

Fortunately, Jiang Mo didn't make him wait too long, and Jiang Mo came back on a small three-wheeled car with pork and pigs pulled back from the meat factory.

"Brother Hong, why are you here?" Mu Hong was a tall man, sitting in front of the store very conspicuous, Jiang Mo saw him at a glance, and couldn't help but smile.

Mu Hong looked at Yu Xiaonan, who was only half a head shorter than him now. The boy had basically opened up, and the thin appearance he used to be had disappeared. In his place, he had a taller and slender figure, white and tender, and very handsome. people.

Realizing this, his mood was a little complicated. The little beanie who used to be so thin, has grown up...

"Brother Hong?" Jiang Mo didn't understand why Mu Hong stared at him in a daze, so he waved his hand in front of him.

"Xiao Nan, who is this?" Mu Hong came back to his senses and looked at Zhang Xiaotao, who was busy in the store. There was a sour taste in his tone that he didn't even notice.

"This is Xiao Tao, also from our Xiaohe Village, the third daughter of Uncle Zhang's family, have you forgotten?"

"Oh, it's her..." Mu Hong answered dryly.

He didn't forget, he didn't remember at all.

"Yes, she came to help in my shop. Xiaotao worked hard and saved me a lot of trouble." Jiang Mo said with a smile, "Brother Hong, you haven't said why you came here?"

"I left get out of class early today. I'm here to buy a book. I'll pick you up by the way."

"Okay, I'll just move the things in." Jiang Mo laughed, his curved eyes as if he wanted to pack in the sunshine of the whole summer.

Mu Hong averted his eyes in a panic, and after a long while, he said dully, "Okay."

Jiang Mo was already busy.

He quickly removed the things from the car, and then gave Zhang Xiaotao some cloth tickets and candy tickets, "After you close the store at night, go to the department store and buy it when you need it, don't save too much. "

"Thank you, Brother Xiaonan..." Zhang Xiaotao was moved to tears again.

"Remember to lock the door when you go out." Jiang Mo waved his hand, then turned to Mu Hong and said, "Brother Hong, let's go."

Mu Hong's heart was so sour that it began to bubble, he asked with a stern face, "Why do you want to give her tickets and sugar tickets?"

"It was given to me by my grandmother. She said that her clothes were too old, so she should buy some new ones. She probably seldom eats candy. She bought some sweets and sweets. The little girl saves a lot and basically sends her wages home. Now, my grandma loves her dearly."

Mu Hong became more and more uncomfortable when he heard it, and was very silent all the way.

Jiang Mo glanced at him strangely, and then he realized something after realizing it, and his heart was suddenly overjoyed.

"Brother Hong, are you in a bad mood?"

Mu Hong immediately said, "No."

"Don't be upset, let's go out to watch a movie after dinner tonight? I'll treat you!" Jiang Mo looked at him with a smile.

Mu Hong looked away uncomfortably, feeling that Yu Xiaonan at this moment was inexplicably hard to resist, "Just the two of us?"

Jiang Mo nodded: "Yes!"

"Okay then." Mu Hong slowly agreed, as if reluctantly, but a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
