Chapter 249: Family surnamed Li (1 update on the 21st)

Binnan, winter night, heavy snow. (Please remember me)

The huge snowflakes as big as goose feathers were falling down the sky and the ground had been falling all day, but they had no intention of stopping. The snow on the ground was already more than ten centimeters thick. The fierce cold wind and the snowflakes falling outside the house kept many people giving up their idea of ​​going out and staying at the warm home honestly.

The snack bars on the night market that were bustling in the past were no longer the hustle and bustle of diners. After a long time, a few customers who came to eat came trotted into their favorite shops, and most of them had no customer.

"Oh," In a small shop called Li Ji's secret grilled steak, a fat aunt in her fifties sighed. She supported her chin with her hands, looked at the heavy snow outside the house through the window, and said to herself, "It seems that today is over..."

What she said was naturally the business in her own store. The heavy snow, which was rare in more than ten years, dispelled the pain of many customers coming out to eat. Even though she sat in the room on weekdays, there were only three tables in the store today, and one table was occupied by two young men wearing waiter uniforms.

"Brother, when I was in school, I was so ambitious.

I am determined to make our store stronger and bigger. My biggest wish is to make our secret grilled steak into a world-famous food brand like California beef noodles or KFC selling a world-famous food brand like a world-famous food brand. Even if it is not globally famous, it will still be like a domestic first-class chain catering agency like Manhan Catering.

It is for this wish that my major in college time was all about catering industry economy and food science, but I thought everything was so beautiful at that time. When I arrived in society, I was really hit by reality and was covered in bruises..."

The young man's words were full of depression. He picked up the wine glass and drank it all. "Can you think that the top students at the school level who have been present in various speeches, debates and other activities on behalf of the school have been unable to find a job, can you think of it?"

The young man slapped the table and said angrily, and the handsome boy sitting at the same table with him also drank a light drink and smiled, "Just because Brother Yu, a top student, can't find a job, this is indeed unbelievable..."

"Oh," Brother Yu shook his head and sighed, "I used to hear from my seniors that campus and society are two different worlds, and I don't know if I don't leave the school. Now, I see, it's true.

In fact, it doesn’t matter if you can’t find a job, but it’s my most regrettable thing for you to not be able to make our brand stronger and bigger!!”

Brother Yu was talking angrily, but he didn't see the boss lady coming from behind and shouting at him, "I'm sorry, I have the skill of drinking, why don't you do some work? Do you just want to be lazy when you see fewer people? Look at how much you eat, you are queuing and scattering, how much money you sell today? The little money you earned has ruined your prodigal son."

Brother Yu was scolded by the boss's wife and immediately became embarrassed. He smiled and said, "Mom, there are so many people today. I will talk to Brother Xiao Fei for a while. Let's rest. I will work immediately. Go now..." As he said that, he stood up and winked.

"Go quickly and put on all the meat skewers you want to use tomorrow..." The proprietress glared at him, turned her head to another waiter and said, "Xiao Fei, take the dumpling soup and steamed buns in the pot to the aunt..."

"Okay, I'll go now..." Xiaofei nodded and responded, with a gentle smile on his face, and walked out with the things the boss's wife said.

In the corner of the store, a young waiter of seventeen or eighteen years old looked at Xiaofei's back as he left, with a trace of disdain on his lips, "Cut..."

The Xiaofei they mentioned was naturally Mu Fei.

Mu Fei finally stayed at the Li family to work in barbecue. The reason was naturally not to make money. The boss's wife asked Mu Fei to help for two days in a requesting tone, and said bluntly that the barbecue chef Fu in the store was sick and another person accompanied him to see the doctor. The mother and daughter were too busy.

Although Mu Fei was unhappy, he still admired the boss's straightforward character. He didn't want to help, but he was soft-hearted for a while and stayed. Today is his fourth day and last day in the store, because he will start making up for the school tomorrow, and on the other hand, the two have already returned.

I stayed here for a few days and let Mu Fei know about this store. It turned out that this store was run by a family.

Li Sanqiang, who was scolded for being unethical that day, was the owner of this store. He was an old man in his early fifties. Although he was not young, he was not only a little thin but also quite energetic.

But Mu Fei learned from his son that his health was not good and his heart and lungs were quite a problem. If he hadn't been able to hold on with his mentality, he would have fallen down long ago. The most feared thing about his illness was to get angry, so he was only two men of the boss and the waiter in those days. It was because he was scolded outside the house that day and almost fainted and had to go to the hospital for examination.

As for the fact that he was outside the house that day and scolded Li Sanqiang for being unethical, Mu Fei only thought it was a malicious competition among his peers. He did not see what was wrong with this kind little old man, but instead thought he was a good old man who always smiled.

The fat boss lady is Li Sanqiang's wife. She has a straight temper and a loud voice. She is a typical example of a knife-like mouth and a tofu heart. Li Sanqiang is in poor health, and most of the family is supported by her.

The old couple has two children. The eldest is Li Tianyu, who is the older brother. The younger brother Yu who chatted with Mu Fei before. He is a top student at Northeast Agricultural University. He is a very talented person who dares to speak and do it. After graduation, he is determined to make the store bigger, but because he has no funds, no connections, and has no ability, he is depressed and unsuccessful.

The waiter who always dislikes Mu Fei is named Li Tianmei, who is her sister. She is 18 years old this year, but she dropped out of school and helped the store at home due to financial problems.

Overall, the people in this store are good, but now Mu Fei can't understand two things.

First, the store’s business is really good. No store in the small street is more popular than this one. Why do they have to pay for it?

Second, why is the business so hot and the income is not expensive, but the family still has difficulty living. Even if they have to treat Li Sanqiang, they will not be able to afford Li Tianmei's schooling fees?

Although Mu Fei is puzzled by these two points, as a part-time waiter, he is not suitable to ask such secret questions.

Furthermore, Mu Fei has already asked about the price of this store, which costs about 360,000 yuan, including one and a half years of room fee. However, he is not at hand now, so he can only save a little more money. It is estimated that he can make up for it in one month. After the New Year, he will immediately buy the store. By then, the matter of Li Sanqiang's family will have nothing to do with him. Why bother to think so much?

Shaking his head and driving these thoughts out of his mind, Mu Fei walked quickly towards the residential building not far away with his food.

"Dongdong" Mu Fei knocked on a family on the first floor. After half a day, an old lady who seemed to be nearly 70 years old opened the door. When she saw that it was Mu Fei, she showed a kind smile on her face.

"Xiao Fei is here, hurry up, come in and warm up..." the old lady asked with a smile, holding a flower glass.

"Thank you, Grandma Zhao, I'll go in and sit for a while..."

Grandma Zhao laughed even more when she heard Mu Fei's words, and quickly called him "Oh, come in, come in and sit in..." Then she walked into the house with a hunched back.

Zhao***'s room is very simple, with two bedrooms and one living room, with almost no decoration and it is extremely empty. Except for one room with simple old homes such as beds, cabinets, chairs, etc., the kitchen has stoves and refrigerators. There are no furniture and appliances in the living room or another room, but there are various broken paper shells and plastic bottles piled up.

Since Mu Fei arrived at the Li family barbecue restaurant, he found that his family had served food on time for three meals a day, and he fell on Mu Fei's shoulders from work the next day. When Mu Fei asked what was going on, he couldn't help but admire the boss's wife three more points.

This old lady is an old widow. She was originally a happy family with three generations of family members. However, in an accident, her son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter all died in an accident, leaving only a grandson who was not angry. She still fought even though she didn't learn to do anything well. It is said that she was afraid of revenge and hid her and didn't dare to come back.

The whole family was left with only such a lonely old lady. Every morning and evening, she would hunch over and go to the streets, night markets and parks to pick up waste paper shells, mineral water bottles and beverage bottles.

The proprietress accidentally met the old lady and felt very sympathetic to her after learning about her situation. Since then, she has been responsible for the old lady’s diet three meals a day, and will give it to the old lady for whatever she eats at home.

While Mu Fei was sympathetic, he also admired the strength and optimism of the old man, but he also knew that the old man must be sad and lonely, so he would come to talk and chat with the old man every day from noon to evening.

Mu Fei sympathized with the old man, and naturally he was grateful to Mu Fei and liked this kind child. In just three or four days, the old man almost treated Mu Fei as his grandson.

Mu Fei helped Grandma Zhao fill the bowl with the food and asked her to say, "Grandma Zhao, I'm going to class, I can't come tomorrow..."

Hearing this, Grandma Zhao, who was about to eat, was stunned and then said, "Okay, go to school well, students should go to school well, study hard to get a bright future..."

Grandma Zhao said this, but Mu Fei could clearly see the reluctance on the old man's face. He smiled and said, "Grandma Zhao, although I have been in class, I can't come every day, but I will often come to see you when I rest or have a holiday..."

Hearing this, Grandma Zhao showed joy on her face, but her eyes were filled with tears, and she said gratefully, "Good child, you are such a good child. If my grandson could be like you, I would have no worries about anything old lady."

Although the child treats me well, he always fights and causes trouble. It is so worrying. I miss him and are afraid that he will see him. I am afraid that he will run to me one day, but he will be beaten and bruised all over his body and his head will be bleeding..."

"Grandma Zhao, don't get angry either. He is still young, just as big as he is..." Mu Fei advised with a smile.

"I'm still young? He's twenty-two, two years older than you. How can I tell you? This personality is born. When the child was a child..." The old lady said, then she opened up her conversation and chatted in a nagging manner.

Mu Fei smiled softly, listening to the old man's confiding.

After Mu Fei's last day's work was completed, the boss's wife gave him an extra sixty yuan and handed him a hundred yuan bill to Mu Fei. "Xiao Fei, thanks to your help in the store these days. Forget it at noon, if you have time to go to class, come and help. Auntie will give you forty a day..."

Li Tianyu patted Mu Fei on the shoulder, "Brother, it doesn't matter if you don't work here. Our buddy still has to deal with me. If you have nothing to do, come and find me. Brother, please..." As he said that, he saw my mother glaring at her and added, "But I have to come when I am not here."

The boss Li Sanqiang also nodded and smiled at Mu Fei silly. Only Li Tianmei glanced at Mu Fei and said dissatisfiedly, "Go away quickly, don't come again in the future, hate..." As he said that, he turned his head.

So far, Mu Fei has ended his working life that has not even been available for a week.

And he just arrived at school the next day, and as soon as class started, trouble came...
