Home of Rebirth

Looking at his mother, Xia Yue always felt that he didn't miss his mother.

Because the mother in his impression has been in poor health since he was a child. Since Xia Yue can remember, his mother has been taking medicine, and what he hears most every day is that her mother is not feeling well. He always feels that such a mother should be taken good care of , even though she has a strong personality and a straightforward personality.

But he looked at his mother now, she was cleaning up in and out of the rented one-story house by herself. When several large shelves were brought up, she was still directing them to be placed there. She also handled the business license of the small shop by herself. When it came down, she wanted to make a plaque with neon lights, but she thought it was too expensive. After thinking about it, she decided to buy the cheapest and simplest plaque. Then she bought a bunch of small colorful light bulbs and instructed Meng Huaiyuan and Chen Ze to make a plaque. A big guy went up the ladder and hung those small light bulbs on the plaque, so that every night as long as the lower switch was turned on, the small light bulbs on the plaque would start to flash, almost like neon lights.

Xia Yue felt that her mother was very smart.

Since Xia Lao San went to work at Feng Wang's side in the past few years, Xia's mother has saved some money, plus the money in Xia Yue's passbook, all invested in the mahjong parlor.

When she was short of money at the beginning, Xia's mother wanted to sell the taxi that Xia Yue bought, but Xia Yue stopped her life and death.

"It really can't be sold, not only can't be sold, but if our family gets rich in the future, we have to buy more, the more the better," Xia Yue said firmly.

"Why, the taxi can't make any money now. The person you hired gave you the rent in full that month. Is the discount the same as giving him free money?"

"Mom, you don't understand. I've heard people say that now in big cities, taxis are very valuable. We haven't developed here yet, so we can buy more while it's cheap. When the city develops in ten years, when the time comes you If you want to buy it again, it will be too late." Xia Yue explained earnestly.

But in the end Xia's mother didn't believe it either, but she still kept the taxi. As for the missing money, she borrowed it from Feng Wang.

Anyway, Feng Wang's factory has grown bigger and bigger in the past few years, so there is no shortage of that little money, and when he saw that Mama Xia wanted to open a mahjong parlor, he suggested from the side that if Mama Xia opened a large supermarket directly, he would be willing to pay for it. , but was still stopped by Xia Yue.

"No, it's not the time to open a supermarket yet, just wait"

At this time today, prices and per capita living standards have just risen, but it is still not yet at the stage of shopping in supermarkets. Most people are still willing to go to cheaper and more affordable vegetable markets and small shops.

After Feng Wang heard Xia Yue's words, he seemed to feel that it made sense, so he didn't say any more.

But he has a good relationship with the old Xia's family, so Mama Xia wanted to open a mahjong parlor. He not only generously borrowed the money, but also helped to contact the purchase of semi-automatic mahjong tables, as well as various food suppliers from the small store in the front room. With his help, it really saves a lot of trouble.

And on the opening day, Feng Wang found two large cranes from nowhere, and listened to the left and right at the entrance of the mahjong parlor. Huge firecrackers were hung on the cranes, waiting for the auspicious time for the opening. I lit it, and sent eight large flower baskets to the door in a very western style. The neighbors in Anqiao had known for a long time that the old Xia’s house was going to open a mahjong parlor, so they all came to support the opening. Xia’s mother often played mahjong together. As soon as a few mahjong friends saw the semi-automatic mahjong table, they couldn't move, so they called people to start the game at the back. On the opening day, Lao Xia's mahjong hall was always busy in the middle of the night, and someone came to him early in the morning The family greeted Xia's mother to play mahjong together.

Xia Yue doesn't quite know how Xia's mother draws a lot in a game in the mahjong parlor, but seeing how his mother sits cross-legged on the kang every day and counts the money, he should roughly know that this is a good business.

And this time Xia Yue has an extra job, that is, after school every day, he has to go to the mahjong hall to watch the small shop in front, so that Xia's mother can go to the back to play two rounds.

Xia Yue is very satisfied with this job, because recently Tao Xinxin always wanted to ask Meng Huaiyuan out after school. In the past, Xia Yue could follow him, but now he has to go home to look after the shop. He can't go, and Meng Huaiyuan naturally can't go either.

Because he left with Tao Xinxin once and let Xia Yue go home alone, but the child limped and cried home that day, saying that the bicycle was knocked down on the way, and he watched the child cry His face was flushed and his whole body was dirty. Meng Huaiyuan regretted that his intestines were green and he didn't sleep well all night. From then on, he never went out with Tao Xinxin, and only followed Xia Yue.

In fact, Xia Yue knew in his heart that Meng Huaiyuan was at a time when he couldn't figure out the contradiction, so he wanted to give him time to figure it out slowly. He only needed to hang around between him and Tao Xinxin when he was free. Dangyou, because as long as he was by his side, Meng Huaiyuan's gaze would always be on him, and he believed that Meng Huaiyuan would understand one day.

But when the two of them went out alone, Xia Yue was still a little worried. After all, he was a young man of fifteen or sixteen now, so it was okay to think of something.

So Xia Yue rolled around on the ground that day, and then went home crying.
