20 years of spring breeze

Chapter 129 People Have to Bow to Reality

After speaking, Yingzi's mother ate in silence, and Yingzi stood up and poured a cup of hot water for her mother and put it on the cabinet.

Master Zhai sat down on the small bench next to the bed and looked at the ground, and the ward fell silent for a while.

The patient in the next bed might feel uncomfortable due to the quietness, so he coughed and said with a smile, "Father Yingzi's rice smells so delicious, I'm hungry after smelling it, what's the matter?"

Yingzi's mother smiled and said: "What else can I make, just stewed sauerkraut. There are no other vegetables at home. We can eat green vegetables."

The next bed was an old lady with white hair and a little fat. She tapped her leg lightly with her fist through the quilt, nodded and said, "Yes, I can't afford it. A pound of beans costs four yuan. It’s like dozens of times. Now, everything is expensive and everything is rising, but the wages are unchanged.”

Master Zhai raised his head and asked Xiaowei: "Where is your restaurant? Is it far away?"

Xiaowei said, "It's not far from the farmer's market. It turned out that Jian'an Company opened the Jubin Pavilion."

Master Zhai was stunned for a moment, and said, "Jubing Pavilion, you contracted it? How long did you contract it?"

Xiaowei said: "The contract was signed for nine years, do you know the place?"

Master Zhai said with a smile: "Everyone who works in this industry knows that area. When it first opened, there was a lot of noise. It turned out that the chef there was my senior brother. Now that he has gone to Jinzhou, the whole family has moved there." He said Turning to ask Yingzi's mother: "Why don't I go and have a look now?"

Yingzi's mother was a little happy, nodded and said, "Go, I'm fine, Yingzi will go with your father."

Master Zhai said: "Yingzi stay here, it's so cold, it's going to be windy, and it's going down again."

Yingzi stood up and put on his hat and said: "It's okay, I'm not afraid, let's go, I'll help you check it out, Mom, put it there after you finish eating, drink some hot water and pour it up, I'll clean it up later."

Yingzi's mother said: "It's like I can't move anymore. I'm going to be fine. Go, slow down on the road and watch the car."

Five people left the ward and went downstairs, out of the hospital.

Sure enough, it was snowing outside, and the snowflakes were huge, fluttering and covering the space between the sky and the earth.

When it snows, the wind is not strong, and it is not as cold as usual.

Master Di was about to push his bicycle, Xia Maosheng said, "Brother Di, let's take the bicycle."

Master Zhai said: "You take the car, and I will ride over all of you. I know the place."

Yingzi said: "Dad, can you do it? Can't these people walk together? It's snowing now, if you fall again, I will take care of you two in the hospital."

Master Zhai set up the car again, walked over with his gloves in hand and said, "Say what you want, you can talk about everything for a day. Let's go, let's go together."

Yingzi put his hand on Master Zhai's arm and said, "It's what it is. I told you not to ride a bicycle in winter. The road is so slippery and the snow is so thick at our house. What if you fall? You won't listen. You Think about it, if you take a car back and forth for two yuan a day, it’s only 60 a month, how much do you have to fall? Isn’t it?”

Xiaowei said: "It's okay, when your dad works with me in the future, we will reimburse you for the round trip. Cycling in winter is really dangerous, Master Zhai, you have to listen to Yingzi about this."

Yingzi laughed and said, "Look, I picked up another 60 yuan." Several people laughed.

After waiting at the entrance of the hospital for a while, five people got into the car and walked towards the farmer's market. There were more people in the city, and they stood crowded all the way to the place.

The car stopped at the intersection of the main road, and five people got out of the car and walked in. It was not far, 200 meters.

From a distance, I saw a few people working on the roof of the hotel under the heavy snow. It was a carpenter who was installing the gazebo. This gazebo is an all-wood structure.

Master Zhai glanced at it and said, "This is to reinstall the pavilion?"

Xia Maosheng said: "Well, if it's too empty, you can sit on it in summer like this, and put some flowers on it in summer, how nice it is."

The gate of the restaurant was unlocked, Sister Zhang and the others didn’t go home, they came back here after leaving the Bone House, at this moment Sister Shang was chopping meat with Li Bing, Xie Na was having a meeting, and Li Gengsheng was writing on the side table What, Li Wen sat on the stool in a daze.

There was no heating in the restaurant, and the stove hadn't been turned on. It was a bit cold, and the little girl curled up on the stool.

Xiaowei glanced at the door and asked, "Where are Sister Zhang and Liu Hongliang?"

Li Min turned her head and looked over, and said, "Sister Zhang is behind the kitchen. The heater installers are here. Sister Zhang is watching them work. Brother Liu is smashing coal. Sister Zhang said to raise the stove."

Xiaowei walked over to take a look at the meat chopped by Sister Shang and Li Bing and asked, "Go shopping? Who paid for it?"

Sister Shang picked Li Gengsheng with her chin.

Xiaowei walked over to Li Gengsheng, who was keeping accounts, writing everything carefully.

Xiaowei said, "How much did you spend today?"

Li Gengsheng raised his head and said, "140 three yuan and eighty-five cents, I didn't give the five cents, it cost 140 three eighty cents."

Xiaowei took out 500 yuan from his pocket, threw it on the table and said, "You take it first, and I will ask for it after you spend it." Li Gengsheng agreed, collected the money, and continued to write accounts.

Xiaowei said to Master Zhai who was following behind: "This is just the beginning, and there is nothing. I just took it over today. It turns out that the house has no heating. Now the boiler is being installed in the back, and we will burn it ourselves in the future."

Master Zhai said: "Well, the poor business here used to be related to the coldness in the house. I don't know what I thought at the time. There is no heating in such a big building. Who will come to eat in winter? It will not work if you come and go."

Sister Shang heard voices from behind, turned her head to look over, and shouted, "Master Zhai, are you here?"

Master Zhai looked over, nodded with a smile and said, "Are you working here? Well, they went to look for me at home today. I'll come and have a look. It's not yet decided."

Xiaowei said to Xia Maosheng: "You go around with Master Zhai, I'll go up and take a look behind."

In the back, Ms. Zhang stood on the coal pile, and a light truck was parked at the back door. Things had already been unloaded. There were still some sextant pipes on the truck, and a threading pliers was propped on the ground at the rear of the truck.

The kitchen over there is noisy and clanging, and the boiler is being installed. This small boiler is installed quickly, and there is not much water pressure. The hot water is pumped up.

Liu Hongliang squatted under the coal pile, holding an axe, and smashed the coal lumps. He had already smashed a small pile, and said in his mouth: "Sister Zhang, is it enough? Can I use it longer?"

Sister Zhang looked over there without lowering her head and said, "It's not enough, let's smash it, it's almost worse."

Xiaowei walked over to the door and took a look in. The workers were screwing the anchor screws.The boiler was installed in the corner inside, and two people were holding the ruler to arrange the pipes.

The kitchen on this side is larger than that on the other side, but only two stoves were repaired, and there is still a lot of space inside.

　People have to learn to bow their heads to reality, and they must do so. This is the only criterion for living.
