The leisurely life of rebirth

After the meal, Fang Monan and the four of them went back to the hotel. They were sweating profusely while eating hot pot in the summer. They fished it out of the water and detoxified themselves. It was really fun! After mom and Hongye washed up, they went

It was lunch break. Fang Monan and Liang Zi continued the topic interrupted by Ye Laosi in the morning.

Fang Monan said in detail: "A real private restaurant must have its own unique dishes. The environment, style, and atmosphere must be quiet, hidden, and have unique dishes. Compared with other restaurants, private restaurants are the most special.

The place is "home". After you sit down, peace and tranquility are the best. The reasons why diners choose private kitchen cuisine are not only mysterious, delicious and friendly, but also add a bit of history and culture. The reason for eating private kitchen cuisine is to eat "unique".

Signature dishes are not necessarily delicacies from mountains and seas. Ordinary home-cooked dishes with unique tastes can also become signature dishes. A private restaurant has attracted many regular customers just by eating meat and stir-fried cauliflower.

Private dining is a favorite place for successful people in the business world. Having business gatherings in a quiet and comfortable restaurant will make you feel as if you are entertaining relatives and friends at home, or rushing to a party at a friend's house. This not only makes you forget the highly competitive business world, but also makes you forget about the fierce competition in the business world.

It brings the distance between friends closer.”

Liang Zi nodded, "Some restaurants are too noisy now. It would be nice to have a quiet place. Not everyone likes the excitement."

Fang Monan wrote and drew on the paper and said: "The house! There is no need to make major changes, it is already original. The key is the decoration. There is a case in the house, a piano on the table, and a stove next to the piano.

There is incense in the stove, and a cup of fragrant tea is brewing. Just thinking about it makes people yearn for it. And the ornaments don’t need to be rare, just high imitations.”[

"You need to find a professional. I'm not good at this." Liang Zi said. "But Zhiqian plays antiques, calligraphy and painting, and works of art. Maybe you can ask him."

"That's not necessary. We don't want genuine products. We can find some high imitation porcelain, jade, cups and dishes, antique furniture, everything from incense burners to porcelain vases, from calligraphy and paintings to embroidered screens. That's all for now." Fang Mo

Nan handed him the prepared list.

"There are so many! Twenty or thirty kinds." Liang Zi frowned and said, "Where can I find these?"

"Ask Fourth Brother Ye. Judging from his carefree personality, he might have an acquaintance and ask him to introduce him to you." Fang Monan said.

"Okay. Let me give it a try!" Liang Zi put the paper away. He dared to ask someone to help him after they had not known each other for a long time.

"There is also personnel training. They should not be too enthusiastic, but should have the subtlety of traditional Eastern women. Specifically, they should be refreshing and elegant. Smile without missing a tooth, walk like a willow, and sound like an oriole." Fang Monan continued.

"It's up to you to tell me. We are looking for a waiter! We are still ladies." Liang Zi stared and clicked his tongue.

"This is what makes us unique." Fang Monan said in an old tone.

"When will Nan Nan come home?"

"The train leaves at about seven o'clock in the evening." Fang Monan patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'll leave this to you."

On the train at seven o'clock in the evening, Fang Monan and her daughter sat in a soft sleeper, hoping to get home in time for the next morning.

Finally came back. My father and uncle drove to pick me up personally.

"Yeah! My uncle can drive now." Fang Monan got into the car and said, Santana, a car that will be used everywhere in the future, should be very expensive at this time.

"Yes! It's convenient to have it," Qi Qiushi said.

"Isn't this eye-catching?" Fang Monan said.

"It's not eye-catching. There are quite a few people driving this car in the county. Even the Dachengzi brothers bought it." Qi Qiushi said while driving the car.

The car is very fast and we can get home in twenty minutes.

After getting off the car, "Ah! Grandma has opened a small restaurant too." The sign says "Master Mo's" restaurant. Grandma's house is located on the west side of the street. I opened the door, repaired it and opened it.

"My Nannan is back." Grandma rushed out of the house and hugged Fang Monan, excited.[

"Okay, Mom will be at home for another two months!" Mom said. "The sun is so hot, let's go in quickly!"

"It's a pleasure to patronize you. Come in quickly." Grandma pulled Fang Monan in through the gate and babbled happily: "I've lost weight, but I've grown taller. It must be that the food abroad is not delicious. I must take good care of it when I get home."

Supplement." Apparently she forgot, Fang Monan's space.

‘I should be the one to replenish you.’ Fang Monan said in his heart.

Fang Monan and grandma went into the kitchen and took out two large watermelons from the space.

"Nannan, no more, this watermelon is not as delicious as the current one." Mr. Lin said after taking a bite of the watermelon.

"Yes! The rice doesn't smell good, the water isn't sweet anymore, and even the tea leaves have a hint of bitterness." Dad agreed.

"Don't talk about this yet, how are Nannan, Xiaobei and your aunt!" Grandma asked anxiously.

"They! They are very good. I have photos here, you can see for yourselves." Fang Monan took out the photo album from his backpack and handed it to them.

Fortunately, there are enough photo albums, one for each person, so there is no need to fight for them, and they can be swapped after viewing.

"Well! It looks like your life is good. You look good and in good spirits." Grandma took the photo album, carefully touched the people on the sign, and commented pertinently.

"Grandma, why did you remember that you built the West Room into a restaurant?" Fang Monan then asked: "Isn't this tiring?"

"I'm not tired. I basically don't do anything anymore except watching them. I invited a few more people to check the accounts. That's right! Now that I'm your Grandpa Lin's student, I've learned how to keep accounts."

Grandma said happily, but then her face dropped, "You guys are no longer here. We two old people have no choice but to find something to do. Why don't we open a restaurant to pass the time. We only make a fixed number of copies every day for a limited time and sell them in limited quantities." Grandma said

Then he laughed, "I didn't expect that the business was so popular. Many acquaintances couldn't eat, and they were clamoring to extend the time. I thought that everyone was acquaintances, so it was like extending the time."

"I didn't expect that your godfather wouldn't agree. If you want to eat, please come early." Grandma said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the limit is limited. The money you earn in one month can cover the money for three months of steamed buns."

"Our street is lined with large and small government offices, so we can do business easily," Mr. Lin said.

"Take advantage of people's hearts that "things are rare and valuable". People want to get things that are harder to obtain. Limited sales use this "reverse psychology" to advertise, so that consumers' main needs have strong emotional color.

It enhances the curiosity and temptation of products." Fang Monan said. The catering industry has high profits, generally as much as 50%.

"Your godfather said the same thing. Our Nannan really knows a lot." Grandma smiled happily.

Dad ate half of the watermelon and left. He took an hour's leave and continued to stare at the industrial park.

Qi Qiushi took away her aunt's photo album to relieve the pain of lovesickness.

Mr. Lin and grandma were talking nonstop about what happened at home, and asked Fang Monan in detail about what happened to the three of them in the United States.

Fang Monan said: "Actually, you can also visit us!"

Grandma opened her mouth wide: "Ah! I don't speak English, and I will become mute when I arrive. This won't work, this won't work. This is the last time in my life that I went on a trip with you. I can't even think about going abroad."

"She said again; "Besides, business is booming now! I can't bear to part with it, it's not like you won't come. At most, it will take two or three years."

Although grandma said that she disagreed, Fang Monan had a problem in his heart. He had to let grandma learn English first. Since he can learn to keep accounts, it is not a problem to be motivated to check accounts.[

At noon, Fang Monan cooked a sumptuous meal in the space, and everyone was full and full. "Nannan, I think you'd better not leave. You can stay. When can we eat after you leave?"

"The father was eating the food with a look of reluctance. The daughter was not at home. Not only did the old man eat something that didn't taste good, but so did he.

"What are you talking about! Nan Nan went out to study." Mom said, raising her arms.

"Hey! Dayan, I just expressed my reluctance and praised her for the delicious food. I can really delay our daughter's future." Dad said quickly.

Fang Monan smiled. If her family knew that she didn't even enter the classroom for a day in Philadelphia and continued in HomeShool, I wonder if my mother would be so angry that she would jump. Hehe...

"For the remaining two months, the kitchen is my territory and I have the final say." Fang Monan looked like a local bully.

"Okay! Then let us Nan Nan be tired." Grandma said. "I think Nan Nan is also tired. Let's take a lunch break! Maybe there is something else to do in the afternoon!"

Mom put away the dishes and started studying with books like dad. Mom took a correspondence class. Dad listened to his godfather's advice and in the future the cadres will become more knowledgeable and younger, and he also took correspondence classes. Now, in addition to working hours, he , and they never leave their books after get off work. The husband and wife make progress together.

After Fang Monan left, Han Zhiqian still did not forget to send various newspapers and magazines every month. The information on TV today is obviously not as good as the explosive era of later generations.

***************************

After waking up from a dream, Fang Monan stretched and opened his eyes. After a moment of trance, his eyes became clearer and clearer. He looked at the familiar furnishings around him and said, "Oh! So I'm back. I still feel comfortable sleeping on the kang at home."

"Nannan woke up, get up and wipe your face." Grandma said when she saw her waking up.

Fang Monan got up and shook his head. The setting sun outside shone brightly into the house, glowing red. "What time is it?" Fang Monan asked.

"It's already past six o'clock, you can really sleep." Grandma said with a smile, "Your mother is back. Seeing that you are sleeping soundly, she didn't bother you."

"Yeah!" Fang Monan shook his head and stood up immediately. "I'll make dinner."

"Okay, let's go and I'll come with you." Grandma followed Fang Monan into the kitchen, and soon dinner was brought out. Dad also came back. Watching the seven o'clock news, he felt that the direction of national policies was what everyone in the family was doing now.

A must-have for every day.

Dinner was very ordinary, millet porridge, pickled cucumbers, cold vermicelli noodles, Longjing shrimps, bitter gourd omelette, spiced peanuts, and roasted eggplant.

Qi Qiushi also hurried back and was washing her hands while eating.

"The dishes are very rich." Dad looked at the dishes on the table and said with a smile.

"Yes! It's delicious, delicious, and a good summer drink." Mr. Lin said.

"Mom, I'm going to the United States in a few days, and I'll take a look at Xiaoyan and the others." Qi Qiushi drank half a bowl of rice porridge, feeling really comfortable and dying of thirst.

"That's good! Xiaoyan is really ignorant. It's hard for you to travel so far away." Grandma nagged. She looked embarrassed when she thought of her little daughter who was far away in the United States. You said it was so good at home, but she had to go out.

Suffering caused separation between the two places.

"It's okay, the company is on the rise, and I'm so busy that I can't even put my feet on the ground every day. Even if Xiaoyan is at home, it's hard to see her. Work hard while you're young." Qi Qiushi said with a naive smile.

"Why did my uncle go to the United States?" Fang Monan asked, changing the topic.

"This is something Allen has to do. Regarding the technical problem of the fluorine compressor." Qi Qiushi drank the remaining soup in one gulp, then got up and filled a bowl, sat back and said: "You know that our country has not yet solved the problem of refrigerator compression.

There are machine problems, let alone fluorine. Our factory is also conquering this technology. If it is made domestically, the prospects are very good. Foreigners will not be stuck."

"Well! This is good! You go ahead!" Mr. Lin said. "The factory has made arrangements."

"Xianghai is here. It's okay." Qi Qiushi reassured. The person Cheng Shigui introduced to him was really a talent. Thanks to his help in the management of the factory, a lot of things were saved and efficiency was improved.

"Xianghai did a good job. Dachengzi even wanted to recruit him, but we finally negotiated. Xianghai helped us idiots learn about modern management together," Qi Qiushi said.

"I admire you! You can relax your figure." Fang Monan cupped his hands and said.

"Hehe... I have the ability. Of course I am not ashamed to ask, is my ancestor's teaching good?" Qi Qiushi said with a smile.

Fang Monan said: "Don't just listen to him, we have to take the essence and discard the dross. After all, the management that Long Xianghai talks about has an American flavor. If this set of things is brought to China, it may not be the same at all.

It’s applicable. In the United States, you won’t encounter ugly-faced public officials who are difficult to handle. In the United States, you won’t encounter people who are cheating. There are many more, you know! None of them. If you copy his management experience, in the United States,

Sometimes our country is acclimatized."

"Yes! I understand. His management experience can only be found inside the factory. With his upright character, the outside world will be miserable!" Qi Qiushi said very clearly.

"Yeah!" Fang Monan has a lot of experience in these things. This is Chinese characteristics. When foreigners come in, they are all Chineseized, and they also call it "as the Romans do in the country."

"Ahem..." Dad cleared his throat in embarrassment when he saw them criticizing these public officials in front of them.

"Hehe... Dad, don't mind, we are not talking about you." Fang Monan smiled.

"Most people are still good." Dad hesitated for a long time before saying something, obviously he was not very confident!

"I know that there are two wolves, the Electric Tiger, the Water Dragon King, industry and commerce, and taxation, and the police is a big hooligan." Fang Monan joked, "This is the most popular jingle of the common people, and the common people's eyes are sharp." There are also later generations to add.

As the above sentence says, once the urban management comes out, who can compete with you?

"Girl! Who did you learn this from? You're so glib." Mr. Lin said. He frowned and added, "It makes sense if you think about it carefully. Think about it! When we were poor and destitute, our city didn't even have basic necessities."

Water and electricity are not guaranteed by law. We have come from limited-time power supply and limited-time water supply. The two departments of water and electricity can easily determine the quality of life of a city person;

Later, after reforms were carried out and the market was liberalized, there were more businesses and more transactions. As the market prospered, various problems and loopholes in market management also appeared. The industrial and commercial and taxation departments, which had no experience,

suddenly became important;

When marketization further deepens and the population begins to move on a large scale, people will go wherever they can make money. Public security problems and household registration problems will arise one after another. The police system will face unprecedented challenges and pressures." He patted his father's shoulder.

, remained silent.

"Hehe... Grandpa is mighty!" Fang Monan gave a thumbs up, "Yes! Dad."

"You! Don't say these nonsense when you go out." Dad rubbed her head lovingly.

"Yeah!" Fang Monan nodded.

However, the words of Fang Monan and Mr. Lin fell heavily on Dad's heart.

After dinner, mom and dad went to study. Fang Monan was taken to the room by the old man to take the school knowledge test.

Mr. Lin nodded with satisfaction after the test results, "I haven't forgotten my roots and I learned well. Have you taught Mobei how to learn Chinese?"

"Of course, you can't forget your roots wherever you go. You can't come back from studying abroad and speak English and forget your Chinese." Fang Monan raised his head and said matter-of-factly.

"That's good." Mr. Lin nodded happily.

After taking the exam, it was time for Fang Monan to go to bed. She and her grandma slept in the south bedroom, and her father and mother slept in the north bedroom. My uncle slept in Leonard's room. Grandma said that because of things in the factory, he usually stayed up very late.

return.

Fang Monan took a nap in the afternoon, so he slipped into the space and wrote a little plan for Ye Laosi. He had to think about these things and organize the language. The progress was very slow. Anyway, he had plenty of time.

By the way, I was thinking about the problem Liang Zi gave me. She is not a serious architectural designer, so it is okay to provide some inspiration. She is really not good at design. Anyway, she has a lot of time, so think about it slowly!

Then he jumped into the sea to look for a gift for the child in Hongye's belly. If it is a girl, it will save trouble. There are many pearls in the sea. Give two a year, one large and one small, and when they grow up, they will be made into necklaces and bracelets.

.

For boys, there is a kind of wood here that is black in color, heavy in quality, and more valuable than gold and jewelry - agarwood. The fragrance is gentle and fragrant, and it becomes more and more fragrant with the deepening of practice. It refreshes the mind, enlightens the mind, and increases the effect of concentration. Carving

It looks like Guanyin. It seems that she needs to find a good carving master.

Once the matter is resolved, all that's left is to meditate, practice Qigong, and study medicine and martial arts in depth.

The next morning, Fang Monan opened the door. As soon as she came out, she saw Mr. Lin standing on the steps waiting for her.

"It's so early, good morning, grandpa." Fang Monan said, and heard the sound of opening the door again, "Ah! Dad, it's so early for you too."

"Oh! You no longer have Zhengping to accompany you to exercise, and you are no longer very lonely." Mr. Lin said. "Let's go!"

After jogging two kilometers, I stood on the vegetable patch in the backyard. My father accompanied the old man to do Tai Chi a few times. "Ah! When did my father start practicing this?" Fang Monan looked at the two of them in surprise.

"I taught your father, so I can serve as a sparring partner." Mr. Lin said.

Tai Chi Hands, also known as hand-beating, hand rubbing, and hand polishing, is a two-person bare-handed confrontation exercise in Tai Chi. It is a physical and functional relationship with Tai Chi routines, complementing each other and bringing out the best in each other. It has a history of more than 300 years.

One of the boxing records circulated in the Qing Dynasty, "The Fighter's Song", reads: "Press and squeeze the beards carefully, and follow each other up and down to make it difficult for others to enter. Let him hit me with great strength, dragging four ounces and lifting a thousand catties. The introduction will fail and the result will be lost."

Come out, stick together and stick without losing your head."

"At first, your dad was hit hard. He kept falling to the ground." Mom came over and said. She looked at the two of them and said, "It's better now. He staggered a few steps without falling to the ground."

Tai Chi is a confrontational technique that uses the upper limbs and trunk as the attack parts, using techniques such as "punch, stroke, squeeze, press, pick, push, elbow, lean" to leverage and exert force to make the opponent's body lose balance.

, entertainment, fitness, and traditional sports. It is praised for its skills of lifting a thousand pounds with four ounces, sending people like pills, falling ten feet away with one swipe of the finger, and making small movements of the body.

"A lot of things happened while I was away." Fang Monan rubbed his nose and said, "I used to be short, so even if I wanted to be a sparring partner, I couldn't do it. I didn't expect that dad would like me."

"Your dad! I was forced to do it in front of you. You were always training with your godfather. When you left, my grandma urged me to do it. I had no choice but to practice. At first, I wanted to give up halfway, but in the end I was scolded by my godfather.

Now that I'm better, I like him." My mother laughed when she thought of the 'fight' between her mother-in-law and her son-in-law during that time, but she still didn't tell her daughter, otherwise it would damage his image in her mind.

Fang Monan saw that his father had also begun to exercise, so he found an opportunity to give his father a set of internal skills and mental techniques to strengthen his body.

After breakfast, dad pedaled away on his bicycle. "Dad will still go to work this Sunday." Fang Monan looked at his retreating back.

"Well! I have become a big-ass official. I am busy all day long without a day off, so I went to the industrial park to check on the progress." My mother scolded: "I was not so busy before. It is estimated that several factories that have settled in the park will be here soon.

It's put into production and there are many things to do." "But this will save him from thinking too much."

"Isn't there any contact over there? We haven't been home for two years in a row, and your jobs have changed, and there hasn't been a single question over there." Fang Monan said in disbelief.

"Nothing, nothing..." My mother sighed: "It's okay, see the reality clearly as soon as possible, and stop those little thoughts."

While the mother and daughter were filled with emotion, they actually didn't know that their father had already had a divorce, but they didn't tell their family. After all, it was not a very honorable thing.

Dachengzi's car stopped at the door.

"Auntie, Auntie, I'm here. Nan Nan is back, where is he?" Before anyone arrived, I heard him shouting in a loud voice, which didn't look like the factory director at all.

"Cousin, where are we?" Fang Monan and his mother walked down the steps and greeted him.

Dachengzi carried large and small bags and placed them on the steps. "They are all home-produced eggs and pork. They are delicious!"

"Let me see, I haven't changed. I've grown taller and become more beautiful." Dachengzi took a few steps back and nodded.

"What can I change!" Fang Monan joked.

"Here! I thought I would perm my hair into curls and hold my breath while speaking." Dachengzi said, with orchid fingers on his hands.

"Haha..." Fang Monan and his mother were both amused by his appearance. "It's not that exaggerated!"

"I know, are there foreigners in Qiushi Factory? I've seen them." Dachengzi said, "It's still our Oriental doll."

"Nannan, let's go!" Dachengzi said. Fang Monan was confused, "Where to go."

"Of course I want to go back to the countryside for a visit!" he said, "I came here today with a mission from my father. If I don't go back, I will be punished when I go home."

Seeing Fang Monan's hesitation, he pulled her out and shouted loudly: "Sister Dayan (actually he is only a few days younger than my mother), and tell my aunt that I will take Nannan away later."

Send it back to you."

Just like that, Fang Monan got into the car and drove out quickly as if he was afraid of being chased.

"Cousin, you don't have to be like this. Make it clear that I'm going with you." When he returned to his hometown, Fang Monan's words also became like his hometown.

"Nan Nan, you don't know that the feed factory has developed so fast in the past two years that I can't even imagine it. I have to show it to you." Dachengzi said with emotion. "Sales outlets have spread across four provinces. In addition to our province, there are also

The three provinces bordering us.”

"Oh! Well done, that's all your credit." Fang Monan said. (To be continued)
