20 years of restarting life

Chapter 1436 Qi Hongyan

At this time, in the mountain city, in the middle of the night, the whole city is almost silent, and there are very few hot spots that are still open after the early morning.

On Tiedong's side, apart from a few night market stalls at the entrance of the iron and steel factory, there are some food stalls open from dark to three or four in the morning except in summer.

When the car passed the first building compound, Wen Ye put his black Mercedes downstairs at Zhao Changan's, and then the three of them drove to the gate of Tiedong Iron and Steel Factory together.

There are twenty or thirty stores in a row, with barbecue, dumplings, steamed stuffed buns, chaotic dishes, mutton soup, beef soup, fried noodles, casserole noodles with potato noodles, grilled fish, crayfish, stewed noodles, rice noodles with chicken sauce, and small restaurants. A small bustling night market, every house is full of people.

In addition to some employees of the steel factory, the guests inside also included residents of the surrounding cities.

But opening a night market here to make money, it is impossible for ordinary people to do business here. Those who do business here are inextricably linked with the steel factory, and even more than half of them are retired old workers, wives, children and brothers-in-law of the employees. Sister-in-law,—

No outsider dares to grab business in the steelworkers' territory, and no street thieves dare to provoke and find trouble in the place where the steelworkers make money.

"Let's eat mutton soup at Aunt Lu Momo's place. If the situation is okay, you'll have to wait until it hurts."

Looking at the groups of night shift workers coming out of the gate of the iron and steel factory, men and women choosing places beside the food stalls, Zhao Changan knew that he had to rely on his connections to eat hot food.

The big white SUV is moving slowly on the street.

"Damn it, Daben!"

"Zhao Changan's car, I rely on it!"

"This grandson heard that he is very rich now, Niubi!"

"Come out so late, aren't you afraid of being tied up?"

"Really, he is a big fat sheep!"

"Hey, don't open for three years, open for three years!"

"What three years, how many lifetimes can I eat!"

"Damn, what you said made my heart itch!"

Hearing the crowd's discussion, Zhao Chang'an's face turned blue, and he wanted to stop the car and scold these snarky bastards.

Three big bowls were filled with mutton soup boiled milky white with mutton and haggis, with a few emerald green shallots floating. Zhao Changan put refined salt and pepper, and a large piece of mutton oil, red oil and chili oil, and drank the soup with a big mouthful. Meat, eating crispy and thin sesame seed cakes, addictive.

Lu Momo's aunt specially managed to get a small table, and the three of them ate and drank alone in the small yard behind the front house.

There are several cold platters on the table, including meat and vegetables, a lump of garlic cloves, a bottle of Wuliangye that Zhao Changan brought, a box of Haozi, and a box of Huazi.

The three of them didn't talk too much, they drank mutton soup, ate biscuits and drank wine.

"Chang'an, drink less alcohol while driving. Time flies. I haven't seen you for four or five years. You've grown into a handsome young man."

Qi Hongyan came over with a charcoal grill and put it on the small table: "Just order whatever you want to eat. Auntie is treating me tonight. Don't be polite to Auntie."

"Sister Hongyan, are you taking advantage of me?"

"You and Xiao Mo are not classmates, Lan Lan's brother Chang'an?"

Speaking of Qi Hongyan remembered the anecdote about Zhao Changan when she was in No. [-] Middle School, and couldn't help laughing.

"When has he been polite to you? I heard that you are shaking now, and your family fortune is hundreds of millions?"

Qi Hongyan's husband also found an opportunity to sneak into the backyard, took a two-liang plastic cup from the table, and filled the cup with Wuliangye: "Wuliangye, I haven't drunk it for a few years."

"Shang Shaobao, you have grown up, don't you, shameless, want to kneel on the washboard again?"

Qi Hongyan looked at the man with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "I still want to sleep in the front berth for a month."

"I'm just happy to see Zhao Chang'an. When I was chasing you back then, this kid did a lot of damage to my motorcycle."

"Brother Shang, let's go!"

Zhao Changan stood up holding the wine glass, and Monk Shaobao clinked glasses.

Seven years ago, Shang Shaobao graduated from college and joined a brick and tile factory. His father was the director of the brick and tile factory at that time.

By chance, I met Qi Hongyan, who was a temporary worker in a steel factory, and started chasing after him desperately.

At that time, it was still in 93, and the imported motorcycle he rode was worth more than 1 yuan, which was the wages of ordinary mountain people for three or four years.

Knowing that Qi Hongyan was a temporary worker, his parents disagreed desperately.

But Shang Shaobao was even more ruthless, he resigned directly, and said to Qi Hongyan with a smile, "You are a temporary worker now, and I am a vagrant, so I am afraid that you will look down on me." '

At that time, Zhao Chang'an felt that Shang Shaobao, a white and fat idiot, was not good enough for Qi Hongyan, and together with Lu Momo, he was very angry with Shang Shaobao's motorcycle.

However, times have changed, how could anyone have imagined that the brick and tile factory was bankrupted by Xia Wenyang and other private brick and tile factories that sprung up like mushrooms in less than two years.

Except for a few shrewd and well-connected people who saw something wrong in advance and jumped to other units, everyone in the brick and tile factory, together with Shang Shaobao's parents, were laid off and waited for work.

Ordinarily, with Shang Shaobao's father's level, it would be easy for the district to assign him to another unit, but the reality is that no leader would dare to do so.

Because if Shang Shaobao's father is arranged, what about the other laid-off workers?
Now Shang Shaobao's parents, as well as him and his wife Qi Hongyan, rely on this mutton soup shop, and their lives are still prosperous.

"Drink the wine, don't get out!"

Seeing Shang Shaobao triumphantly go to the front shop, Zhao Changan laughed, this buddy is good because he is obedient and has a good temper, he can be round or flat whatever he wants Qi Hongyan rubbed for seven or eight years.

"Sister Hongyan, I think your business is good. You can make a turnover of [-] in one night, half the gross profit?"

Zhao Changan picked up a chopstick of cold dish, which was delicious.

"If I'm an outsider, I would definitely say that I don't make money. Looking at the number of customers, the cost is also high. There are four people welding. On average, one person only costs a thousand yuan a month, which is equivalent to earning a salary through hard work. Usually one night The turnover is also in the early thousand, and the gross profit is a little more than half."

"Boss lady!"

There was a guest shouting in front, Qi Hongyan hurriedly agreed loudly, "Come on", and said with a smile to Zhao Changan: "You guys eat, just eat if you don't have enough."

leave in a hurry.

"——The cost of the Western District Hospital was also high, so it was transferred to Tiedong Hospital. The family's savings were all used up, and the motorcycle shop was sold out. My mother sold all the jewelry and collected [-] yuan. I thought it would be enough. Don’t worry about leaving it at home. The bank is off work again, so I took it to the hospital thinking about charging [-] today, and depositing the rest in the bank first. The only thing worth money in the district is the house, but it doesn’t mean that you can sell it if you sell it.”

Zhao Chang listened quietly, and when Yu Yunwei finished speaking, he asked, "Are you ready to learn?"

"If this kind of thing happened at home, how can you still think about going to school?"

Yu Yunwei said bitterly: "The cost of living in the south is already much higher than that in the mainland, and the tuition fee is also high."

He stopped talking, took a big sip from the wine glass, and then lowered his head to drink the mutton soup.

"Your sophomore tuition is not paid as soon as the summer vacation starts. After that, you only need to pay for living expenses. How expensive is the food in the school cafeteria? First finish your sophomore year. You can explain the situation to the school during the summer vacation. It is more difficult to have an accident, request a work-study program,—"

After what Zhao Changan said, Yu Yunwei, who was drinking the mutton soup with his head down, showed a trace of deep disappointment in his lowered eyes.

"Don't be so troublesome. My parents and I have discussed it. After my father is discharged from the hospital, I will sell motorcycles with him! And even if I graduate and find a job, it will only cost two to three thousand yuan a month. It is still enough to eat. Enough to drink? Sell a few motorcycles and earn two or three thousand.”

Yu Yunwei raised his head and smiled at Zhao Changan and Wen Ye.
