As a person who eats both black and white in Heijin Town, Song Gang sets up a restaurant every day and eats and drinks all kinds of things.

How do you say that about doing business——

Men in the north drink and make friends every day; men in the south drink tea and talk business every day.

Song Gang's meal was a treat that gave him a lot of face!

Didn’t Si Chen deliver the “performance” that Song Gong wanted?

It can be said that Song Gang borrowed flowers to offer to Buddha, and his long sleeves were good at dancing on the wine table, which was so exciting.

To praise Si Chen for his wisdom and courage, he is like the Great Sage Sun Wukong!

In this situation today, Si Chen was like a god descending from heaven, and he casually dealt with the little monsters who were blocking the way.

Si Chen really didn't expect that this meal would actually turn him into an unparalleled hero.

Song Gang was also generous and added two hard dishes to Si Chen:

Braised Yellow River carp, crispy duck.

Why is it called hard food?

The Yellow River carp in Yuanmeng County these days are purely wild and not easy to catch at all.

You have to wait until the flood season has passed, the water level has dropped, or the flow has stopped in some places before you can take the opportunity to salvage it.

As for ducks, no one in Yuanmeng County raises ducks because unlike the south, there are groundwater and ponds everywhere in the north.

In an era when transportation was underdeveloped, it was naturally expensive to transport waterfowl from the south to the north.

Si Chen was really hungry, so he and Song Yunpeng ate happily.

After the meal, Si Chen sat with him for a while, listening to Song Yunpeng's animated story about how he captured the stumbling blocker.

In the private room, besides Song Gang, Song Gong, and Si Peng.

Men, especially men who are half-drunk after drinking a little bit, will tell stories about highly inflammatory fight scenes.

That guy is like a big truck that can't brake downhill——

"Okay! Okay! Brother Sichen is so awesome!"

"Brother Sichen is a lone hero, but a skilled man is bold!"

"My brother Chen is awesome! I know that at the critical moment, I have to look at my brother Chen!"

Croak, croak, croak, all kinds of thunderous applause.

Si Chen:...You won!

After the feast and the fun, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

"Let's go, let's do karaoke in the second half!" Song Gang organized the game again.

Si Chen waved his hand and said, "No, I have to go back. My wife is still waiting at home."

"Hey, when can't my daughter-in-law watch?" Song Gang said in a social person's manner:

"Brother will take you to the Qianjiaobaimei Song and Dance Hall today, and I will keep it for you to experience what ecstasy means!"

Si Chen still persisted, stepped back and said:

"There's nothing I can do. I'm a strict wife. If it's any later, I'll have to kneel on the washboard."

At this moment, Yan Lixia, who was putting her baby to sleep at home, said: sneeze!???

In the end, several people couldn't defeat Si Chen and let him escape.

Si Chen drove his tractor and wandered home. It was already midnight.

The small village on a summer night is quiet and warm.

Every household had already fallen asleep, and the sound of Sichen's tractor alarmed Yan Lixia.

She had just finished feeding the babies goat milk when she heard the noise, put on her clothes and got up and came out to open the door for Si Chen.

After extinguishing the fire, Si Chen stepped forward and picked up Yan Lixia.

"Ah!" Yan Lixia exclaimed softly, her little heart beating wildly with fright, and she said:

"What are you doing? I hate it!"

Si Chen chuckled, hugged his milky and soft wife, and returned to the house.

"You just put on a piece of clothing and come out? You are still in confinement, why don't you wrap a scarf?"

While Si Chen was talking, he put Yan Lixia on the kang, then pulled a warm quilt and covered her with it.

Summer nights these days are still very cool, especially inside the brick kiln, which is warm in winter and cool in summer, with an almost constant temperature of around 22°C.

Yan Lixia got into the quilt and covered herself tightly.

Even his little face was buried under the quilt, with only a pair of sparkling peach blossom eyes looking at him.

The light bulb hanging above the head was covered by newspapers rolled into a trumpet shape.

This is done to prevent harsh light from damaging your child's eyes.

This also causes the light in the entire room to be dim and ambiguous.

Si Chen looked at the lively daughter-in-law in front of him, and his Adam's apple couldn't help but move.

After drinking some wine, my mind became even more racing.

"Daughter-in-law, can I breastfeed you tonight?" Si Chen lied without drafting.

Yan Lixia has completely returned to breastfeeding, how could she still have breast milk?

Yan Lixia was stunned, it was obvious that something was wrong with her man's eyes.

However, in order for the child to have a mouthful of milk, she nodded stupidly:

"okay."

Si Chen forcefully suppressed the corners of his mouth that wanted to curl up wildly, and lifted the quilt from his wife.

…

Early the next morning, Si Chen was kicked out by Yan Lixia.

"Daughter-in-law, you can wait until I have breakfast and then send me out to make money."

Si Chen stood outside the door, the dog was dying!

He was saying pitiful words, but the corners of his mouth were raised to the sky, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

Yan Lixia was in the room, her face flushed with embarrassment and anxious, but she could do nothing to this man.

Ah ah ah ah ah--

…

After breakfast, Si Chen rode his bicycle and went to the county department store.

Since you want to start a department store retail business, it’s time to get started.

These days, department stores in Yuanmeng County only have two floors.

There is no comparison with the shopping malls of later generations that often have several or dozens of floors.

However, in this era, Yuanmeng County is already the most popular consumer zone.

Yuanmeng County has this one and only department store. It used to be state-owned, but now it is open and privately contracted.

Sili Ge contracted it from the Commerce Bureau, and various merchants on the first and second floors rented counters from her.

Si Chen had been waiting outside the door at half past eight, but it was too early and the door had not yet opened.

People from the village who come to the city cannot arrive so early. Even people from the city will not come to the department store so early.

Therefore, we opened the door at nine o'clock, cleaned it up, and it was almost ten o'clock for the official opening.

After the door opened, Si Chen first went to the first floor and walked around.

The first floor mainly sells gold and silver jewelry, watches, bicycles, cosmetics, stationery, toys, pots and pans and other daily miscellaneous items.

The second floor is different, with clothes, shoes, bags, leather goods, wool, etc.

There are also separate counters for men's and women's items.

It is not possible to go up to the second floor from the inside. Instead, a Y-shaped iron staircase is set up outside, and you need to climb up.

Each step is actually a welded iron plate. The hollow feeling makes it a bit scary to walk up.

Especially the iron steps dented every time I took a step.

The middle section of the steps, which were frequently walked by people, was worn into a black iron color, while the edges were stained with rust.

Si Chen wandered around until 11 o'clock, when Si Lige arrived belatedly.

Today she wears a bright red dress, a gorgeous little silk scarf around her neck, and a flower on the side.

Her curly hair is hanging loosely, and there are two exaggerated metal disc earrings on her ears.
