Liu Chen drove to the restaurant quickly, put the buns on the table, and ate eight large meat buns in one go. It seemed that his appetite had really increased during this period.

At this time, my parents also came, and not long after, Li Biao, Zhang Nini and the waiter came.

Liu Chen arranged everything and drove back to his hometown with Liu Dechao to see how the house was being built.

Although they provide the whole package to the foreman, you still have to check it out. If there is anything missing, they can buy it in time.

In forty or fifty minutes, Liu Chen arrived at Miaoshan.

From a distance, I saw Liu Xixiang catching fish in the river.

This Liu Lili is also pitiful. His parents died young and he grew up with his grandparents. They tried their best to find a partner for him to get married. However, after the marriage, his wife went out to work and ran away with someone else, leaving behind a five-year-old daughter.

They depend on each other for life. They go to the river to catch fish all day long in exchange for some money to make a living.

Liu Chen drove the car over, stopped, rolled up the window, stuck his head out and shouted: "Ideal, did you catch any fish?"

When Liu Lili saw it was Liu Chen, he quickly raised his head and said with a smile: "I caught a few, but they weren't very big."

"This is your daughter, she's grown so big." Liu Chen said, looking at the little girl next to him who was bending down to pick up fish.

Liu Lili looked at his daughter, smiled and asked her to call her uncle, and the little girl also greeted Liu Chen generously.

The two chatted for a while, and Liu Chen gave Liu Lili a box of pure milk and a box of cookies in the car. At first, he said nothing, but finally Liu Chen drove away.

Before leaving, Liu Chen said that he would come to his house to find him when he was done and that he would discuss something with him.

Although Liu Lili is very miserable, he is really capable. A man with a daughter can do everything, catch fish and sell them, work as bricklayers, go to the mountains to pick tea leaves for others, etc. Anyway, he does whatever he can to make money, just to provide for his children.

A better life.

Liu Chen didn't have much ability in the past. He worked as an obstetrician and gynecologist, and his own restaurant was also in recession. But it's different now. He contracted the reservoir and the hilltop. He wanted to plant fruit trees, but he couldn't grow them anyway.

Yes, it would be good to let Liu Lili help plant and manage it when the time comes.

And when he had nothing to do, Liu Lili didn't have to go to the river or pond to catch fish and sell them. Sometimes he couldn't catch many fish in a day, and he really couldn't sell them for much.

Anyway, Liu Chen harvested a lot of eels and loaches. Even if Liu Lili brought in less fish and sold them in the county town, he would still sell more fish than the fish he caught in the pond.

Moreover, Liu Lili is extremely capable and a kind-hearted person. Whether he works with him or not, he can take care of his daughter Liu Kexin and make less money on the other hand.

When Liu Chen was young, he went up a tree to get bird eggs, but he accidentally fell down from the tree. Liu Lili carried him back home from the mountain. They were only ten years old at that time, and Liu Lili carried Liu Lili on his back.

Chen, walked nearly two hours on the mountain road before carrying Liu Chen back. Because he came back too late, Liu Chen's father beat him up, saying that there were many wild animals in the mountains at night and they were dangerous.

Of course, no matter how Liu Lili's father beat him, he felt that he had done the right thing. He didn't say anything, didn't run away, and let his father's wicker beat him.

In the evening, when his mother saw the bruises all over her body after being beaten by her husband, she was so distressed that she wiped away tears and asked him if he regretted it. Liu Lili said that Liu Chen was fine anyway.

The doctor said it was fortunate that the rescue was timely, otherwise what would have been the unimaginable consequences?

During this time, Liu Chen also had some money in his hands, and he also had an idea of ​​making money. He couldn't make Liu Lili's life so miserable, and he wanted to help Liu Lili change.

Liu Chen first went home to see how far the house was in progress. The foundation was probably almost done.

When Liu Chen went back, many people were busy laying bricks there. The foundations had been dug and walls were being built. It was done very quickly.

"Liu Chen, Brother Dechao, you are back. Come and see how this building is built?" Liu Chaoyang, the bricklayer foreman, asked with a smile.

Asking Liu Chen such a question is simply playing the lute to an ox. Liu Chen doesn't understand. Anyway, he has given me the drawings, so he can just follow the drawings. He really doesn't understand this.

Liu Chen put down a piece of flower and asked the worker to smoke it.

Liu Dechao stood around and looked at it again and again. Although he didn't understand it very well, he could still pretend to understand.

"Ah Chen, I heard that your restaurant is great. It earns hundreds of thousands a day. After that year, you won't be rich yet." Liu Chaoyang said with a smile.

Liu Chen didn't need to think about it, this must be what the fifth aunt said. He didn't lend her the money yesterday. When he returned to the village, he still didn't know what to say about his family behind his back.

Liu Chen thought to himself, no one was telling anyone behind his back, anyway, as long as he couldn't hear, he would be out of sight and out of mind.

"Oh, that's a coincidence, there's only one day in a year." Liu Chen hurriedly explained.

The third lady here saw Liu Chen's car parked nearby, and she saw that Liu Chen was back. It was out of season, and there were very few young people coming back. At this time, the only one driving back was Liu Chen.

"Achen, you are back. Come to our house for lunch at noon." said the third aunt Zhang Caixia.

Liu Chen stared at the third aunt, when did this become so good? In the past, she was so stingy that she wished she could keep the dishwater.

It was impossible for others to come to her house to have dinner. Liu Chen listened to one side and then went out on the other side. The third aunt was used to being thrifty, and she had to cut a carrot many times before eating it.

"Achen, did you just hear your third wife say that you should come to her house for dinner? The sun really comes out from the west." Liu Dechao said incredulously.

Most people have never really eaten at San Da Niang's house. Although San Da Niang is delicious and a bit thick-skinned, I don't know if she is serious or joking.

"I heard it. It's strange today. The third lady actually called Mr. Liu Chen to go to dinner."

Liu Chen thought to himself, this must be what Zhuang Xiulan said when she came back. Otherwise, how could someone with the same personality as the fifth aunt let them go to her house for dinner.

"Liu Chen, you are so powerful now. The hotel business is so good, no wonder you come back to build a house." The third lady said with a smile.

"Hey, I have to build it even if I don't have money. This house is really not going to last anymore."

Liu Chen hated these people the most. When he had no money before, he would run far away. Now that he knew they had money, his expression immediately changed.

Liu Chen left Liu Dechao here and drove to Liu Lili's home.

The car parked in front of Liu Lili's house, Liu Chen opened the door and got out of the car.

Seeing Liu Chen coming, Liu Lili hurriedly greeted him, "Come in quickly, I'm waiting for you."

Liu Chen had just entered the house. The house was clean, and Liu Lili had tidied it up fairly well.

The two of them sat down, and Liu Lili made some green tea he grew for Liu Chen to drink. After Liu Chen drank it, he felt that the tea had a refreshing fragrance, with astringency in the mouth and a sweet aftertaste.

The taste of green tea is very unique. When you first take a sip, it is extremely bitter, but if you savor it carefully, you can feel the fragrant tea in it.

"This tea is good. Do you have a lot of tea leaves? I'll get some."

"Yes, there are plenty of them. I will fill them for you now." Liu Lili knew that Liu Chen liked to drink, so he quickly went to fill them.

Liu Chen also followed him over. Liu Chen saw that there were quite a lot of tea leaves.

"Why don't you sell it? This tea tastes good."

Liu Chen also didn't expect that Liu Lili had a lot of tea. When he asked him why he didn't sell it, he said it was too cheap and he couldn't bear to sell it.

In the end, Liu Chen asked Liu Lili to sell it to him, and Liu Chen settled everything.

As for the money, of course there will be a lot of it.

Liu Chen also saw a lot of skinned peanuts in the room next to him. One snakeskin bag was stacked on top of another. Liu Chen counted it, and there were twelve bags in total.

"Why don't you sell such good peanuts?"

It's not that Liu Lili doesn't want to sell, it's mainly because this year's peanuts are cheaper than in previous years, and he really doesn't want to sell them.

Liu Chen asked about the price. Raw peanuts with skin on them were 4.3 yuan per catty.

Liu Chen thought to himself, it's really not cheap, so let's buy it for myself and bring it to 1979. Anyway, there were really not many peanuts in that era.

Liu Chen also saw five large snakeskin bags of raw sunflower seeds. Liu Chen asked the price. The market price was 5 yuan per catty. Liu Chen did not hesitate and took them all.

Peanuts cost 5 yuan per catty, and sunflower seeds cost 6 yuan per catty. Anyway, more or less doesn’t matter.

Liu Lili pulled the scale and weighed all the peanuts and melon seeds. The peanuts were 840 kilograms and the melon seeds were 286 kilograms. The tea just now weighed 68 kilograms and cost 89 yuan per kilogram. Liu Chen did the math and found that it was 11,356 yuan. Liu Chen directly

I spent 11,500 yuan, which was more than enough to buy candies for my children.

Seeing that Liu Chen had not been screwed, Liu Lili accepted it readily.

He brought Liu Chen some dried persimmons, as well as some walnuts and chestnuts.

Liu Chen's car cannot be repaired. Liu Chen is not in a hurry. When the time comes, he will drive a tractor to pull it. Then he can directly obtain it in 1979.

Liu Lili thought to himself that he couldn't be happier. These things can be considered sold. When school starts on September 1st, he will also send his daughter to kindergarten. Now he has money.

Liu Lili killed a big rooster, processed the crucian carp caught today, got some bacon pickled for the New Year, and prepared some vegetarian dishes.

Liu Chen drove up and called Liu Dechao up, and they started eating.

Liu Chen drove and did not drink. Liu Dechao and Liu Lili drank the sorghum wine they brewed.

After changing cups and cups, chatting and laughing, Liu Chen expressed his thoughts.

At first he thought Liu Lili might not be willing, but unexpectedly Liu Lili happily agreed.

You can take care of your children, make money, and take care of your family's livestock and poultry, so why not do it.

Anyway, Liu Lili had nothing to do during this period, so he used his diesel tricycle to order eels, loaches and soft-shelled turtles first, and he could earn some money by selling them first.

Anyway, Liu Chen received a lot, and he was really busy. During this period of time, Liu Dechao had to be busy building a house in his hometown, but Liu Chen didn't understand anything. There was no use relying on him.
