There's a Space Man in the Village [Rebirth]

Chapter 57

Knowing about Aunt Miao's experience from Uncle Huo, Huo Chengyi really didn't expect that there would be such a vigorous past event.

Although Aunt Miao was more impulsive at the beginning, she can understand that the consequences of the resistance caused by the long-term oppression are absolutely explosive and serious, and Ma Chunsheng's death is completely self-inflicted.

To a certain extent, Huo Chengyi was quite impressed after hearing it. Aunt Miao was definitely a representative of independent women.

It's a pity that the past events of the parents' generation eventually lead to the children who are always affected.

On the night that he met Aunt Miao, Huo Dashan was in a very low mood. He sat in the yard full of worries all afternoon. He didn't go to the ancestral hall meeting in the evening. He was in a trance and absent-minded.

Although he didn't ask directly, it seemed as if nothing had happened, but the occasional expression showed that he didn't care.

After all, no matter how many secrets Aunt Miao had in those days, Huo Dashan's childhood misfortune could not be erased, and his feelings towards his mother were really complicated.

With his honest and loyal character, it is not enough to say how deep the resentment is. He didn't understand it when he was a child, and when he grew up, he could understand that his mother was forced out.

But no matter what, his mother did leave him for so many years, and he was ridiculed since he was a child, and there is still resentment in his heart.

He misses his mother, but also resents her a little bit. Whether he wants to see him or not, he can't figure it out himself, and he is extremely conflicted.

Seeing his tangled appearance, Huo Chengyi gave up the idea of ​​exploring.

Given Huo Dashan's complicated and contradictory mood now, I'm afraid I can't ask for a name. They are all outsiders and can't empathize with Huo Dashan's mood.

A lot of things are not a reason, and a sorry apology can be regarded as nothing happened.

The best way is not to persuade, but to let Aunt Miao and Huo Dashan untie their knots and accept them.

So after thinking about it, Huo Chengyi decided to start with Aunt Miao.

Huo Chengyi is a man of action, so he does what he wants. Taking advantage of the opportunity to buy a betrothal gift, he took the champion to the town early the next morning with an ox cart.

When he arrived in the town, he was not in a hurry to find someone for the time being. Anyway, Aunt Miao lived in the town and couldn't run away.

When he thought of marrying Xiaobai soon, Huo Chengyi was in a good mood, and there was a gust of wind when he walked.

In modern times, he also thought about finding someone he likes for the rest of his life, but to be honest, the idea of ​​his sexuality is actually quite extravagant.

Although modern thinking has been very open, people like him are still not accepted by the public, and it is not easy to meet someone who agrees with him, let alone stay together for a lifetime.

Even if he doesn't care, and there is no pressure from the family, can the people he meets face the world's vision, the pressure of the family, and even the loneliness and coldness of old age with him?

Maybe, but it's too rare.

Huo Chengyi really didn't expect that he would travel to such a place that would allow him to be upright and accept everyone's blessings and bring home the person he likes.

He will have a home soon, someone will lean on his arms when he sleeps at night, and in the future he will have a child with Xiaobai that belongs to him, and the child will call him daddy...

This is everything he dreams of, so he proposes a marriage Of course, he had to prepare the dowry himself.

To buy those dowry gifts, Huo Chengyi wrote down a list overnight last night, and he was quite familiar with it in the town.

Many shopkeepers saw him as a big man coming to do the betrothal gift, but they couldn't help but look at him, thinking in their hearts that he was not poor, he must be a unique family whose parents and elders died.

Because even the poor households have no reason to have a man to do the betrothal gift, and he seems to be in his twenties. Those who get married at this age are basically too poor to get married. Normally, they get married in their teens.

But when Huo Chengyi took out the list of items and ordered things one by one in the store, the shopkeepers immediately changed their minds and became more attentive.

There are people who have long recognized him as 'Bully Huo', but they did not dare to offend him from the beginning, and greeted him with a smile and trembling.

During the period, I didn't dare to open the price without saying anything, and even brought half-sell and half-delivery, just to send him away as soon as possible. It's the news I heard recently. Anyway, as long as Huo Daniu goes anywhere and something happens, it's like a plague. of.

The only one who welcomed him was probably Fatty Jiang.

The Chuanchuan store opened a few days ago. Because of the advertising role of Huo Chengyi's stall before, Chuanchuan's reputation has been hit.

In addition, Fatty Jiang has a face, not only ordinary people came on the opening day, but all those who had friendship with Fatty Jiang came to support the scene, and the business was very hot on the opening day.

Fortunately, Huo Chengyi had expected that when Fatty Jiang was looking for the store address, he chose a relatively large one. Relying on the county magistrate's nepotism, he won a small two-story restaurant at the wharf at a very low price.

Taking into account the difference between Chuanchuan business and ordinary restaurants, Huo Chengyi's plan is to refer to the way of modern buffet. The guests want to eat what they want to go to the menu area, and the drinks are a la carte.

This can not only save the wages and expenses of the second child, but also allow the guests to choose more freely. This unprecedented 'self-service' is a novelty, but it has become the characteristic of Chuanchuan.

The pier is always crowded with people, and there are many residents in Tongniu Town. The famous diners fill up the two-floor seats every day, and there are still a lot of queues outside.

Chuanchuan was originally made by selling quantity to make money, and there are also exclusive 'ice drinks' in the store. Although a cup of ice drink costs five cents, a few cents are nothing for those who can come to the store to eat and drink.

The Chuanchuan store had only been open for a few days, and Fatty Jiang knew that the deal would not be lost. Every night, after counting the money with his husband, he had to be excited for a long time before falling asleep.

According to the popularity of this kind of business, they can earn back the capital they invested in a month.

Fatty Jiang, who was still nervous at first, was completely relieved when he saw the effect, and at the same time, he was full of admiration for Huo Chengyi.

Chuanchuan formula is important, but it can double the profit, and the business plan given by Huo Chengyi is the key.

This is often the result of letting guests pick up food by themselves:

I don't feel like I don't give money when I get the food, I get what I want, and when I finish the checkout, I realize that I have eaten so much!

Anyway, in the past few days when Chuanchuan store was open, Fatty Jiang counted the money until he fell asleep and woke up laughing.

Hearing that a gangster went to tell him that Huo Chengyi was coming to town, he immediately put down his things and ran over, dragging Huo Chengyi to the restaurant for two drinks.

Knowing that Huo Chengyi came to town today to hold a dowry gift to propose marriage, Fatty Jiang even patted the table and said that he would be notified when the marriage date was optimistic, and by the way, he would think about opening a branch in the future.

"The branch is not in a hurry, we don't have a foundation in other places, let's do a good job in this town first, Mr. Jiang, you are busy first, and write down the problems that occur in the store. I will come to the store in a few days, and let's take care of it. I've discussed the details, and the way of keeping accounts in the store, I'll tell you later..."

Huo Chengyi has business experience and a relatively stable personality.

At present, it seems that the business plan he gave is working well, but there are still differences between ancient times and modern times, and many details still need to be revised and perfected, so the events of the branch are not in a hurry, and step by step.

"It's still my brother, you have a good brain, I'll listen to you."

Fatty Jiang is not a big fan of merit. He has been in the town for many years with his ability to see people and his tactfulness.

He saw Huo Chengyi as a man with ideas and ideas. He had no business experience, so it was right to hear Huo Chengyi.

After chatting with Fatty Jiang and buying the rest of the dowry list, Huo Chengyi took the ox cart to North Street to find Aunt Miao.

Tongniu Town is divided into four streets in the south, south, north and west, and the differentiation of the population of shops in each street is also different. There is a saying in the four streets that "the east is rich in the south, and the west is poor in the north".

To put it simply, the nobles live in the east of the town, the rich live in the south of the town, the wharf in the west is the bustling market, and the north street is a mixed slum.

Aunt Miao is a woman with no skills, and her only source of livelihood is the work that everyone despises, which is to wash clothes and make money by doing needlework.

The meager income allows her to live in a small hutong on Beijie. After all, the consumption level in the town is much higher than that in the village.

Over the years, she has occasionally helped her own son through Huo Daniu, so Aunt Miao lived a very poor life.

The place where I live is a yard shared with others. Not to mention the inconvenience of the small place, and there are many conflicts under one roof. Aunt Miao has a strange temperament that does not fit in with the group. Life can be said to be a complete mess.

When Huo Chengyi arrived, Aunt Miao had just returned from work and was sitting in the house eating.

He ate pickled vegetables and white water. Huo Daniu didn't know it before. He looked around at Aunt Miao's house and knew that this must be the life of this poor woman for many years.

"It's a big cow, why didn't you tell my aunt at this time, come in and sit..."

Aunt Miao didn't expect him to come at this time, and after a short pause, she happily greeted him to enter the room and sit down , but his eyes were looking behind him, obviously expecting someone else.

But when he saw that only Huo Chengyi came alone, he couldn't help his eyes redden and was a little disappointed.

When she came out to pick up Dou's father yesterday, she was ready to meet Huo Dashan. For so many years, she missed her son, and she couldn't sleep day and night.

She is getting old, and she has worked hard all the year round and doesn't know how long she can live. Yesterday was not so much to speak for Huo Chengyi, but to take this opportunity to show up and meet her son.

Who knew that Huo Chengyi was the only one who came to her today... Dashan still blamed her.

Aunt Miao felt uncomfortable, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes when she turned around and entered the room, and then went to pour water to say hello.

"Aunt Miao, I don't drink water anymore, and I'm still rushing back to the village. I have something to tell you when I come here. You should see if you should..."

Huo Chengyi didn't waste time and stopped people. Go straight to the point.

"Da Niu, if you have something to do, just say, Auntie can help you..." Because the Huo family took in their son's kindness, Aunt Miao could not wait to repay the Huo family with her life.

"Actually, it's not a big deal. Auntie, your uncle has told me about your affairs. I know that Auntie is good. I haven't asked him yet, but I can see that the elder brother misses you too. A little resentful..."

Speaking of her son, Aunt Miao's eyes couldn't help but get wet, "I, I know, it's right for him to blame me."

"Auntie, you don't need to be sad, I just wanted to ask if you would like to live in my house for a while. There are few people in the family and many things to do. My eldest brother and I are both men. My sister-in-law is not very easy to take care of after giving birth. I have to prepare for marriage. If you want to come and stay for a few days, you will not be able to come back by then... Let's see Let's do it."

This was what Huo Chengyi had thought about all night.

Aunt Miao and his eldest brother's mother and son are useless no matter how much other people talk about, and since they haven't seen their mother and son in many years, it is better to give the two a chance to get along instead of persuading them.

He helped push it, but it was up to Aunt Miao and his eldest brother to have a happy reunion.

It's just that Aunt Miao was happy, worried and hesitant to hear it.

"I... Dashan, is he willing to see me? He must hate me."

"Auntie, how will you know the result if you don't try? You have been afraid for so long, how much time is left? I don't want to hear the big brother cry. Mother, hug my grandchildren and call you grandma? When I go back, I will tell my eldest brother to ask you to help take care of my sister-in-law's confinement, and my eldest brother will not refuse for the time being because of my sister-in-law..."

"Anyway, auntie, think about it carefully, consider it. When it's done, just pack up and come to the village, and I'll go back and clean up the room for you."

Aunt Miao didn't dare to show her face for so many years, she only dared to look at it secretly because she was afraid of her son's resentment. Huo Chengyi didn't force it. Opportunities are up to you.
