I have a deep mountain

Chapter 5 Getting Ready

Han Qingguo's tongue was so full of enjoyment that Chen Sumei didn't even notice it when he approached.

"Old man, you're still like a child at your age! If Xiaodong sees you later, where will you put your old face?" Chen Sumei scolded in a low voice.

Han Qingguo's face turned red immediately, and he didn't expect that his wife would find out if he stole food.

"My wife, Xiaodong's cooking is so fragrant, I couldn't hold back for a moment, this dish is really delicious, do you want to try it too?"

Han Qingguo wanted to drag his wife into the water as well.

"I'm not as greedy as you, I'll help Xiaodong."

Chen Sumei walked into the kitchen slowly and asked Han Dong if he wanted to help. After a while, she took out three bowls for dinner.

Han Dong only fried two dishes, one fried pork belly with porcini mushrooms, and one fried loofah.

With rice grown in the countryside, breakfast is ready.

Han Dong took a few pieces of porcini mushrooms for grandma and grandpa, and said with a smile:
"Grandma, grandpa, try it quickly."

Han Qingguo quickly took a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, saying:
"Delicious! Delicious! Xiaodong, is that mushroom seller still at the market? Let's buy more and save it for frying at night."

Chen Sumei glared at her wife and said:
"It's not like you don't know how expensive these porcini mushrooms are. Before Xiaodong started working, you started doing things like luxury people?"

Han Qingguo wanted to refute something, thinking that he and his wife had quarreled all their lives and had never won, so he didn't say anything, just buried his head in eating.

Chen Sumei also tasted the boletus. She was stunned for a while, and then said immediately:
"Xiaodong, this fried dish is really delicious!" Chen Sumei couldn't help praising it. After she tasted this dish, she immediately regretted the suggestion to stop Han Qingguo from buying more.

Seeing his grandma and grandpa eating so happily, Han Dong felt a surge of satisfaction in his heart.

"Grandma, grandpa, if you like to eat, I will buy it next time I meet that person. The three of us can't eat much. Don't always try to save money, grandma, just treat yourself better!"

Seeing what Han Dong said, and the boletus being so delicious, Chen Sumei didn't say much:
"Well, I'll go to the house first."

She took two mouthfuls of rice, then went to the back room.

Han Dong thought that his grandma was upset because of what he said just now, so he quickly shouted:
"Grandma, we haven't finished our meal yet, so we can make something after we eat first."

After a while, Chen Sumei came out with a smile, still holding her old handkerchief in her hand. After sitting down, she slowly pushed the handkerchief in front of Han Dong and said:

"Xiaodong, grandma knows that you just graduated and haven't worked yet. It will cost you a lot of money to find a job in the city. Grandma and grandpa are old and useless, so I can only give you this."

Han Dong opened the handkerchief, and there was a thick stack of money lying in it, banknotes of various denominations of one hundred, fifty, twenty, ten, five, and one yuan, neatly stacked according to the amount with.

Han Dong's eyes were sore. There are about 5000 yuan here. Grandma and grandpa don't have a pension, they only earn some money by selling oranges and raising chickens. They want to save so much money. How many days and nights.

Han Dong seemed to be able to see his grandma's back pain and reluctant to go to the hospital, and his grandpa's desire to eat pork ribs but he was reluctant to buy them...

"Grandma, grandpa...you keep the money, I won't go to the city to find a job." Han Dong planned to tell his grandma and grandpa about his plan.

I didn't say it before, because I was afraid that my grandma and grandpa would worry.

"Why don't you go to the city? Xiaodong, are you feeling unwell and want to rest at home for a few more days?" Grandma Chen Sumei asked hastily.

Han Qingguo also asked: "Xiaodong, if you have anything to tell grandpa, grandpa will help you!"

Obviously grandma and grandpa thought something happened to Han Dong's.

Han Dong explained:
"Grandma, grandpa, I plan to open a night snack stand in the county, so that I can help you with some work during the day. You are old, so you can't work too hard."

When grandma and grandpa heard Han Dong's words, their hearts warmed up.

Instead, grandma hesitated for a moment, and said:
"Xiaodong, if you decide to stay because of grandma and grandpa, that's not acceptable. Young people should go to the big cities to make a living."

Grandpa Han Qingguo was also worried:
"Yes, Xiaodong, grandpa's body is still strong, you don't need to..."

Han Dong interrupted:
"Grandpa, grandma, it's not all because of you. I've thought about it. Instead of going to a big city to work as a chef in a hotel, it's better to open a supper stall in the county. After earning money, we can open restaurants and hotels by ourselves!"

Grandma thought for a while, then handed the money in the handkerchief to Han Dong, and said firmly:
"Xiaodong, whether you go to work in the city or open a supper stall in the county, you need this money."

Han Dong tightly clutched the money that his grandma and grandpa gave him to live frugally, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

After several refusals to no avail, he did not make further refusals.

Han Dong knew that this was the wish of his grandma and grandpa. If he insisted on not wanting it, the two old people would be unhappy instead.

……

In the afternoon, Han Dong rented houses and stalls in the county with his bonus and money from his grandmother.

He planned to open the supper stall from [-]:[-] pm to [-]:[-] pm, and he rented a house in the county so that he could go back to rest at night.

After getting up in the morning, I can go back to the village to help my grandma and grandpa with some work, and then go back to the rented house in the afternoon to prepare the food, so that there is no delay in working and taking care of the elderly.

More importantly, after Han Dong has his own rented house, he can store all the things he got from the mysterious forest in the rented house, so as to avoid suspicion from his grandma and grandpa.

Soon, Han Dong found a suitable rental house among the farmers' self-built houses in the county.

It is very close to the supper stalls in the city center. It is one bedroom and one living room, 300 a month. Since it is on the top floor of the fifth floor, there is also a quite large rooftop.

There were simple furniture and appliances, and Han Dong felt that there was a roof for drying fungi, so he decided to rent here on the spot.

Han Dong didn't bring his ID card, so he could only sign the contract the next day.

The landlord, Aunt Liu, is a straightforward person. Before the contract was signed, Han Dong only paid a deposit of [-], so she gave him the room key.

Her original words are:
"Young man, you are fair and handsome, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. You must be a good person. Hold the key first. Auntie believes you!"

"..."

Han Dong smiled politely and expressed his gratitude.

After the rental was settled, Han Dong bought bedding in the market and moved in that night. He even smuggled over the porcini mushrooms hidden under the bed, intending to dry them in the sun.

In the evening, Han Dong went to the night snack street in the county to inquire about the stalls, and learned that the monthly stall fee on this street was collected by the nearby village committee.

After Han Dong went to the village committee to inquire, the monthly rent and sanitation fee for a small stall was 600 yuan, plus water and electricity.

Han Dong thinks it is acceptable. Although Tianhe County is not big, it has a large population.

At night, this supper stall is the busiest street in the county.

There is popularity here, and Han Dong has delicious food, so are you afraid that you won't be able to make money?
