There would naturally be competition.
Although the fried potatoes from other families did not taste as pure as Liu Fugui's, it still had an impact.
Fortunately, the traffic at the train station was large enough. Overall, his income was still very considerable.
After deducting all the costs, Liu Fugui had already saved 1,960 yuan in his passbook over the past seven to eight days!
This was the early 1980s.
Right now, even a house in Mountain City was only worth a thousand yuan.
Therefore, Liu Fugui was already thinking about buying a house.
When the time came, he would directly bring the old master over from the countryside. In the future, he would no longer have to deal with that strange family in the east room.
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Fugui closed his stall and went to the market to buy groceries for dinner as usual.
During this period of time, Zhu Guifen went back to cook in advance after peeling potatoes at one o'clock every day. When Liu Fugui closed his stall at two o'clock, he could eat a hot meal.
However, although this woman was diligent and agile, there was one thing that gave Liu Fugui a headache.
She was clearly given five yuan a day for food expenses, but she could spend this five yuan for a week!
She was used to being thrifty at home. No matter what, she couldn't bear to cut meat every day.
Therefore, Liu Fugui went to cut two catties of pork and brought it back to improve the food at home.
In the yard, Zhu Guifen's son, Little Stone, was helping to dry the potato chips.
Seeing Xiao Yezi return, the two little fellows greeted her familiarly and went to help.
Zhu Guifen had been working in the mountain city for a long time. She always missed her son.
After Liu Fugui found out, he asked her to bring her son over.
It was just a matter of having a pair of chopsticks. With Zhu Guifen, an excellent employee, it was nothing.
The two little guys were chattering together, and soon Zhu Guifen, who heard the movement, came out.
Seeing that Liu Fugui had cut so much meat back, she immediately frowned and shouted in an exaggerated tone,
"Aiya! Didn't they just eat meat the day before yesterday? Even a landlord couldn't be so extravagant every day, right?”
Liu Fugui glanced at her impatiently and pointed at the two children who were playing together.
"The child is still growing, so he should eat more good food.”
After saying that, he took the meat and prepared to go into the kitchen, but Zhu Guifen quickly went forward and took it.
"Okay, okay, okay. I'll make it. Let the child eat more meat!”
Without waiting for Liu Fugui's reaction, he rushed into the kitchen.
Ten minutes later…
At the dining table.
Liu Fugui and his daughter stared at each other.
She looked at the oily green peppers and shredded pork in her bowl, then turned to look at the plates of bean sprouts, vegetables, and tofu on the table…
Xiao Yezi turned to look at her father in confusion.
"Daddi, why…is there only meat in my bowl?”
Liu Fugui's face darkened a little. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhu Guifen, who was sitting opposite him.
He had just brought back two catties of meat. It was enough for all four of them.
But why did this woman only cook so little for the little girl?
Sensing Liu Fugui's unfriendly gaze, Zhu Guifen quickly smiled and looked at the confused little girl.
"Ye 'zi is still growing. You have to eat more meat. I'll cook meat for you every day in the future!”
Zhu Guifen's calculations were very precise. If the family had a lot of food every day, then wouldn't the monthly living expenses go to heaven?
Liu Fugui was used to being extravagant. She had to control him in the future.
Since he said that the little girl was still growing, he would just give her the meat alone.
As for after they got married…could that little girl continue to grow?
Little Rock, who was standing beside her, looked hurt when he heard that. He stared at the shredded meat in Xiao Yezi's bowl and tugged at the corner of her clothes timidly.
"Mom, I'm growing too. I want to eat meat too.”
"You brat, you can grow bean sprouts by eating some vegetables!”
Seeing this, Zhu Guifen raised her hand and patted her son's head. Then she put on a smile and looked at Xiao Yezi.
"Younger sister is still young, she needs to eat more meat.”
Liu Fugui was speechless when he saw her amazing operation.
Helplessly, he could only get up and go to the kitchen to cook again. Zhu Guifen saw that she couldn't stop him and said nothing.
While cooking, Liu Fugui also thought that this woman seemed to be a little too nosy.
In particular, the other party was a widow. A few days ago, Old Zheng had inquired about his relationship with Zhu Guifen.
After all, no matter what era it was, there were always the most disputes in front of a widow's door.
Now that Zhu Guifen was living under the same roof as him, if news of this spread to the village, would her reputation be ruined?
However, it was not a good idea to chase them away. After all, this orphan and widow were quite pitiful.
After thinking about it, Liu Fugui decided to see if he could teach her some other snacks in the next two days and let her set up her own stall.
Although he couldn't guarantee that she would make a lot of money, it was not a problem to ensure that the mother and son could establish themselves in the mountain city.
A few minutes later.
After a large plate of steaming hot Moo Shu meat slices was served, Liu Fugui called for them to continue eating.
After lunch.
After taking a short rest after dinner, the group continued to work at the teahouse.
Liu Fugui was doing business while calculating Zhu Guifen's matter.
After greeting a few waves of customers, Liu Fugui had just gotten some ideas when a surprised voice suddenly sounded.
"Aiya, Liu Fugui! It's actually you?"
Liu Fugui raised his head when he heard the voice. In front of him was the mother of the chubby boy in town, the woman who had sold him pork fat.
"Sister, are you here to play?"
Seeing that it was an old acquaintance, Liu Fugui smiled.
"I came into the city to buy something."
The woman smiled and patted the empty basket on her back.
As she spoke, she looked at Liu Fugui's stall and suddenly had a look of realization.
"I heard that you came to the city to do business. I didn't expect to meet you here!
How was it? Business should be good!"
She had smelled the fragrance from afar when she came over just now, but there were too many people here and she could not squeeze in. She could only go out for a walk before coming over.
"It's not bad. Sister, try it too. I'll treat you to a portion.”
After Liu Fugui finished speaking, he scooped a big bowl of spicy potatoes and smiled as he ushered the woman into the teahouse.
Previously, when he was selling sweet watermelons in town, this big sister had pulled in a lot of business for him.
Later on, she sold him the pig fat and lent him the basin.
Now that they met again in such a faraway place, he would definitely treat her to a bowl.
The fat woman had also come over after smelling the smell. When she saw Liu Fugui's enthusiasm, she was even happier. Carrying a basket on her back, she walked into the teahouse in a few steps.
However, just as the potato was about to reach her mouth, she suddenly remembered what happened to the Liu family. She quickly called out to Liu Fugui,
"Liu Fugui, wait a moment."
"Sis, what's wrong?"
Liu Fugui looked at the fat woman in confusion.
The woman put down her chopsticks and looked at Liu Fugui with a serious expression.
"During this period of time, you…didn't go back?”
Although Liu Fugui was a little confused, he still nodded.
"Yeah, I've been here for seven or eight days.”
The woman frowned when she heard Liu Fugui's words, and her expression became a little unnatural.
"Then do you know…your grandfather…is dying?”
Liu Fugui was stunned when he heard this. He stared at the fat woman in front of him.
"What did you say? This is impossible!"
How was this possible?
Wasn't the old master doing well before?
No!
Liu Fugui suddenly remembered the night before he left the village, the old man went to bed early for the first time…
Liu Fugui, who had regained his senses, was shocked!
