My 1979

Due to demolition a few years ago, Fatty Li's restaurant is no longer at its original location, but it is still near Beijing University. Because he couldn't bear to rent a good storefront, he opened it at a small intersection.

It is said to be a restaurant, but in fact there are only six tables inside. There is a stewed vegetable table at the door with a glass cover on it. It is filled with pork head meat, chicken and duck, as well as some small intestines and peanuts.

It was near meal time, but Fatty Li was sitting against the wall with his eyes closed, waving the fly swatter in his hand in a bored manner.

"Hey, boss, get up and work." Li He stepped forward and kicked him, "Why are you lazy?"

"Grandma, you're a bear." Fatty Li quickly stood up and was about to curse. When he realized it was Li He and his wife, he immediately said with a playful smile, "Hey, you two."

He Fang said, "Is your boss making money? It's business and he's sleeping here?"

When they were in school, they often had dinner parties at Fatty Li's restaurant, so even without Li He coming, she and Fatty Li were no strangers.

"Look at what you said." Fatty Li sighed and pointed at the sparse pedestrians. "Do you see anyone around here? How much money are you making? If you continue like this, you will have to beg for food."

Li He said, "Stop talking nonsense to me. How much is the demolition of three houses in your house worth? Are you still here with me crying about poverty?"

Fatty Li said with a mournful face, "What about the two of us, each of us needs to live in one apartment, right? My wife and I live in one apartment, and we can't sell it, so we still have to earn money to eat.

It’s not comfortable to live like this. It’s only a few dozen square feet and there’s not even a place to stay. It’s definitely not comparable to your Xishan villa. "

He Fang said, "There are many houses in the countryside. If you want to live in the countryside, don't you have the final say on how big the area is? How about you sell this house and I can inquire for you from Xishan?"

"Don't." Fatty Li shook his head like a rattle and said with a smile, "I still have to do business. It's not good to live far away."

"Then stop saying sour words. I couldn't even envy you for sharing three apartments without any effort." Li He then asked curiously, "Your location is not bad. There is a school in front and a residential area behind. Why can’t business start?”

He opened the glass cover again, picked out a piece of pork from inside, dipped it in spicy oil and vinegar, put it in his mouth, smashed it and said, "It still tastes so good."

"Hehe, that's good. I'm definitely good at my craftsmanship. If I didn't have this kind of confidence, what kind of restaurant would I open?" After getting the compliment, Fatty Li felt proud, but then he said with a slumped face, "Poor students can't afford it. , and now that there is no subsidy, parents probably only have so little money a month, which may not even be enough to eat in the school cafeteria, so how can they still have the money to buy my braised pork?"

He took out another cigarette from his dirty pocket, handed one to Li He, and continued, "Let's talk about the neighbors nearby. Those who are laid off are now laid off, those who are unemployed are unemployed, and life is very tight. Those who live by themselves are reluctant to buy, saving a penny counts as a penny."

Li He nodded, "It's true."

"Fat man, hurry up and cut some for us." He Fang noticed that Fatty's cigarette ashes had bounced onto the chopping board, and sighed, "Brush the chopping board."

"It's clean." Fatty Li wiped the chopping board with a rag, took out a pig's head, cut it at the best position for Li He, and then cut it into slices.

While cutting the meat, I didn't forget to spit on the ground.

A middle-aged man with glasses came over on a bicycle and stopped with his feet on the ground.

Fatty Li hurriedly took out his smoke and said, "Teacher Wu, what are you going to eat today?"

"No, no." The middle-aged man waved his hands hurriedly, "I'm just telling you, from now on, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it's easy to smell bad. I bought it last night and found that it was like this. You are busy every day, maybe you don't Pay attention, I will let you know."

Fatty Li said with a smile, "Oh, I'm sorry, I really didn't notice it."

The middle-aged man shook his head helplessly and left.

"Students here have a lot of things to do. Isn't it normal for the weather to be a bit smelly?" Fatty Li suddenly finished speaking. When he found that Li and his wife were still there, he hurriedly explained, "Students here are different from those who study. Just like you Not many of you are so cheerful."

Li He urged, "Hurry up."

Fatty Li asked, "I heard that your brother-in-law He Long opened another restaurant?"

Li He said, "Yes, Sheep and Scorpion."

Fatty Li spat again and sighed, "This person's luck is just different."

He Fang's frown deepened. After paying the money, he took Li He and left.

After getting in the car, she said, "If you can do this business, it will be called a ghost."

Li He said, "He still thinks that it was ten years ago and he was popular in everything he did. With his temper and business methods now, who would want to talk to him anymore.

He's not the only one who cooks restaurants. The more he gets involved, the more he goes back. "

He also felt sorry for Fatty Li. This was the first group of crab-eating households and the first group of households with ten thousand yuan. They had already completed the accumulation of funds in the early 1980s. If they had enough brains, not to mention being worth tens of millions, they would definitely not be worth millions. There will be less.

When she got home, the old lady's food was already sitting down. When her daughter and son-in-law came back, she put it on the table.

"Daughter, what's going on?" She found that Li Yan's eyes were red and swollen.

"Auntie, it's okay." Li Yan helped Li He open the beer.

The old lady said, "Just have an idea in your mind. Don't be angry or force your feelings. Just have something close to it."

Pointing at He Fang, he said, "When I went on a blind date with her father, her father thought that he was educated and didn't want to find someone like me who was blind and stubborn and refused to have sex with me.

When I was young, I traveled far and wide, and those who were willing to be with me could be lined up as a reinforcement company. "

"Mom, you can't brag like that." He Fang couldn't help but laugh.

Li Yan looked at He Fang and said with a smile, "You'll know just by looking at me."

The old lady said, "You said he is a landlord's son, and no one dares to marry him. My parents left early, so I don't have any scruples.

I am willing to marry him, but he still dislikes me?

I loved him so much that I would go around in circles and pass by his door every day. "

Li Yan asked, "Wouldn't uncle be very handsome when he is young?"

"It's so good-looking. He is modeled after our little one." The old lady said with a smile, "But our little one is not as elegant as his father. His father is a man of culture. He likes to hold a book whenever he has nothing to do. I don’t take care of anyone for a day.”

When she mentioned her wife, she smiled so hard that she couldn't even open her eyes, looking happy.

"It's just a pity that he had lung disease. At that time, he couldn't be cured even if he wanted to, so he just watched him die. It was all his life."

"Okay, why are you bringing this up again?" Seeing that my mother was about to burst into tears, He Fang hurriedly comforted her, "Okay, would you like to drink some wine too?"

"Then drink some." The old lady also picked up the cup.
