Chapter 90: THE END |
After Han Aimin tidied up the dormitory, the family drove again and went to the house they bought in the provincial capital to see the progress of the decoration.
The bungalow in front has been turned into a two-story white building. A cashier counter was built near the door on the first floor. It was made according to Su Yue’s request. A kitchen was separated next to the cashier counter, so that you can cook in it, and the remaining parts are made into booths, suitable for one to four people to eat. If there are not many people, they can eat on the first floor.
The second floor is made into three private rooms, each of which is very large. The private room has a separate bathroom and entertainment and leisure area. This arrangement is very consistent with the style of private rooms decades later, although in Su Yue’s opinion, it is not considered elegant, but at least you’ll enjoy eating there.
The decoration is currently halfway through, and Su Yue estimates that it will be completed in another two months. After completion, it will be left to dry for a few months, just in time for the reform and opening up, and her private restaurant can be officially opened by then.
After checking the renovation progress, the family headed back home.
That night, Su Yue sat at the table, took a pen and paper and began to calculate the accounts seriously. She spent all the money she had on buying a house before, turning her from a rich woman into a pauper. Now it costs a lot of money to renovate the house. This money is also Mrs. Han’s coffin book, which she didn’t want in the first place, but Mrs. Han knew that she was in trouble and insisted on giving it to her, and would get angry if she didn’t take it, so she thought she was borrowing it from the old lady, and then successfully made herself deeply in debt.
After the decoration is completed, there are still many things that need to be purchased in the restaurant. Just the pots, pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar in the kitchen cost a lot of money. Adding all the other items will cost at least several hundred yuan. By then, the restaurant will also costs money to recruit service personnel, customize uniforms for people, and pay wages.
Money, money, it’s all money.
In the end, the gap in her body was so big that she wanted to die where she was.
After calculating her current poverty level, Su Yue immediately decided to expand her business scope. In addition to making cakes, she also planned to make some snacks that children love, and then sell them through Xu Can. Although this year The material conditions are not rich, but parents all have one thing in common, that is, they will not treat their children badly. Those who have the financial ability will rarely short-change their children, so they don’t have to worry about selling the things that children like to eat.
Moreover, Xu Can’s relatives and friends at home liked the food she cooked, and even asked Xu Can if she made other food besides making cakes. At that time, the two children were young, and she was too busy to have time, so she didn’t consider it. Now that the two children can play by themselves, she has time to make other meals, and she just makes use of the remaining time to make some money.
Whatever she wanted to do, Su Yue started making snacks based on the favorite tastes of the three children, Dabao, Xiaobao and Maomao. In addition to some small pastries, she also made twist rice dumplings and lollipops.
After making it, Su Yue went to Xu Can to help sell it. Xu Can knew Su Yue’s cooking skills, so she never worried that her food would not be sold. There was no embarrassment at all. On the contrary, her relatives and friends and Colleagues in the hospital are very sympathetic to her. After all, the food is delicious, whether you take it home to eat by yourself or give it away to others. You can’t buy such delicious food elsewhere.
Xu Can agreed without saying a word, “I’ll show it to a few of my colleagues in the hospital first. They will definitely buy it. They especially like the food you cook. Several times I gave them delicious food as a gift.” I took it to the hospital to eat. When my colleagues saw it, I shared some with them. They all thought it was delicious and asked me where I bought it, so you must be selling well. When I go back to my parents’ house next time, I will bring some back to my relatives to sell.”
Su Yue didn’t know how to thank her, “Thanks to you, otherwise I wouldn’t know where to sell it.”
Xu Can twisted up a piece of hibiscus cake and stuffed it into her mouth and pointed at Nini who was holding a lollipop and making her smell delicious, and said with a smile: “You don’t even look at how many delicious foods you have given to my family. The food you gave to my family is more than my errand expenses. What’s more, I didn’t do any errands, I just said a few words, and I didn’t even need to convince others. People like to buy the food you cook. How easy it is for me to do this job.”
Su Yue laughed and the deal was just like that.
The food Xu Can bought to sell was indeed very popular, and the amount Su Yue prepared was not enough. Xu Can came back and asked her to continue making more. Not only her colleagues in the hospital wanted it, but also her several aunts at home tasted it and also liked the taste very much and asked Xu Can to help them buy more.
With these small snack businesses, Su Yue finally had a surplus of money, and there was a faint strace of getting out of poverty.
In July, Su Yue received another letter from her hometown, which was sent by Hehua. Hehua told her in the letter that her parents had been arguing at home for a long time after receiving Mrs. Han’s letter. At first, her mother firmly refused to let her go to school, but in the end, her father was still afraid that her grandmother would really sever the mother-child relationship with him, so he finally convinced her mother and allowed her to go to school.
But she didn’t want to start from the first grade of junior high school. After all, she was no longer young, and she had learned all the knowledge in junior high school by herself, so she wanted to go directly to the second grade of junior high school, graduate in one year, and then go to high school. For this reason, she went to the principal and asked to skip a grade. Initially, the principal did not agree, but after testing her knowledge level, he agreed, so she is now a second-year junior high school student and can go to high school in one more year.
Su Yue was very happy after seeing this letter. Hehua is a good child with perseverance, ideas and pursuit of progress. She believes that as long as this child has a chance, he will have a bright future, and will not be like the ordinary rural girls of this era. Like children, they are illiterate and are married off at an early age to have children. They live their lives with their backs turned to the sky and rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea. As long as she goes to school and gets admitted to college, her future will be completely overturned.
Su Yue suddenly felt that her efforts were not in vain.
Mrs. Han was also very happy after knowing that Hehua could go to school. At home, She was mumbling that Han Laoer and his wife had finally done something right, and asked Su Yue to write a letter to Hehua, encouraging her to study hard, and said that if her parents didn’t give money to study, her grandma would help.
In fact, Mrs. Han would still say this even if she didn’t say Su Yue.
Su Yue mailed the letter the next day, but when she came back, she unexpectedly saw Mao Xue downstairs, who hadn’t been seen for a long time. She seems to be a different person now than before. Before, her eyes always revealed a sense of melancholy from time to time, and her whole body was filled with the feeling of a depressed person facing a negative attitude towards life. In short, One look at her and you can tell that she is dissatisfied with her life.
But now she has a high-spirited feeling. The most obvious thing is how she dresses. She is very beautiful and fashionable. She wears a dress with leather shoes, a blue gauze scarf around her neck, and she even has makeup on her face. With light makeup and a smile on her lips, she even felt the wind under her feet when she walked.
Just when Su Yue saw her, she also saw Su Yue. Instead of running away, she came straight up to say hello.
Su Yue nodded to her, and didn’t know what to say the rest.
But she took the initiative and said, “Ge Jun and I have divorced. I came back today to go through the formalities.”
Su Yue was slightly surprised, but after the difference, she felt that there was nothing to be surprised about. After all, Mao Xue’s heart had flown away, unwilling to stay in this small place, even her husband and son can’t stop her. Such a woman will achieve her goal sooner or later. Ge Jun was probably frustrated by her and didn’t want to persist in vain, so he finally agreed to the divorce.
Su Yue nodded lightly and said, “Congratulations.” This sentence was indeed a bit ironic, but she was not complaining about Ge Jun. After all, this was a matter between husband and wife, and she had no right to comment. She just felt ridiculed by her attitude towards her son from a mother’s perspective. Such a mother would really hurt her child deeply.
Mao Xue paused and then said: “I think I am not wrong. What is wrong with pursuing my ideals? You may think that I am heartless and heartless, but who wants to be trapped in a cage for his whole life? You may not be able to do it now. Understand me, but you will understand in the future, because if you give up a great opportunity for the so-called family now, you will regret it in the future!”
Su Yue wanted to laugh, but she did, and she said: “I don’t regret it, in my opinion, going to university does not mean having a brilliant life, who can say how your life will be in the future.”
Mao Xue also smiled, looking at Su Yue as if she were looking at an ignorant woman , “You have been brainwashed by your family and gave up your own opportunities for the sake of your family. Maybe you don’t regret it now, but in the future, when one day you grow old and become an ignorant and incompetent housewife, your husband will still treat you the same way? Your husband has a bright future and will be promoted step by step in the future. When he reaches a high position, you are not worthy of him at all. There are other women who are better than you in front of him. Are you not afraid of being disliked or even abandoned? Men, what can attract them is always a capable and charming woman, not a yellow-faced woman who silently pays for him.”
Regarding Mao Xue’s words, Su Yue nodded in agreement, ” You are right, women do have to be capable, rather than relying on men to survive, so I agree with the pursuit of going to college, but if you have the ability and There is actually no conflict in taking care of the family. I see that there are many women with families and children who go to college, but they do not choose to abandon their husbands and children. So forgive me, I don’t understand your approach.”
Mao Xue paused, and the expression on her face was stiff for a moment, but it soon disappeared and she regained her composure, “This is a private matter between Ge Jun and I. You don’t understand our situation, so why should you accuse me? Was he not wrong? He had to pester me and wouldn’t let me go if I didn’t marry him. “
Su Yue shook her head, and suddenly felt that she was also bored. Why are you arguing with her here? She just wanted to reduce the guilt in her heart by persuading others.
She lost interest in talking, and waved her hand. “I really don’t understand. So you don’t need to tell me. I have something else to do, so I’ll go and do some work first. Goodbye. “
After that, she walked away without looking at Mao Xue’s expression behind her.
Later, when she thought about it, she felt very emotional, and complained to Han Aiguo: “Do you think I don’t have a harmonious Neighbor’s fate? Why do the two of them not get along well in their final relationship? When Fang Xiaoli moved out, I prayed, hoping that the next female neighbor would get along well with her. But after taking over, this wish could not be realized, because all the female neighbors disappeared.
Han Aiguo touched her hair and said, “Let it go. “
Su Yue shrugged. It seems that the matter of the female neighbor must be left to chance.
————
1978 was destined to be an extraordinary year. After the resumption of the college entrance examination, another piece of good news that inspired the whole country came. At the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Party made a historic decision to implement reform and opening up. Since then, the planned economic system has completely collapsed, and the market economy has begun to enter China’s historical stage.
When she saw this news in the newspaper, Su Yue almost cried. She had witnessed and even experienced this backward economic era with her own eyes. Now she has witnessed with her own eyes that this era has become a thing of the past, and China is about to move towards a new and better future. She didn’t know this when she was studying in the past. What a huge emotion, but after personally experiencing the change of two eras, her heart could not calm down for a long time.
But fortunately, all this was worth being happy about. The future days finally saw light and beauty, and she no longer had to do it secretly. With her business now open, she no longer has to worry about being reported or investigated, and she no longer has to worry about the words “speculation and profiteering”. She can finally go back to her old business.
The private restaurant she has been working on for half a year is finally here. It’s time to open it !!
After half a year of hard work, she finally had money in her hands, and she gradually bought all the things she needed in the restaurant. She even found the waiters, one of whom was Ma Cuiyun. She knew that Su yue wanted to open a restaurant and wanted to recruit people to work, so she took the initiative to come over and said that she wanted to work to make money. Firstly, she wanted to reduce the burden on my family. Secondly, she also wants to be tougher in front of Mrs. Sun, and who always dislike her or her daughter, and don’t have anything nice to say when she talks.
Ma Cuiyun worked neatly and was upright. Su Yue believed in her, so she agreed without saying a word and offered her a salary of thirty yuan a month, including three meals and four days off a month. This kind of treatment is very good at this time. Not only Ma Cuiyun is happy, but also Mrs. Sun. She was originally dissatisfied that her daughter-in-law had to work so far away from home and left all the family affairs to her. But now she is extremely supportive.
Another waiter was a single mother Su Yue met accidentally from the provincial capital. Su Yue called her Sister Wang. Sister Wang’s husband passed away ten years ago. She lived alone with her two children. Her life was very difficult. But this did not dampen her will. She was hard-working and had a very cheerful, generous and upright personality. She got along well with Su Yue. Su Yue invited her to come and work. She was so grateful that she didn’t know what to say.
Everything was ready just for the opening, and Su Yue set the opening date for New Year’s Day.
After all, the reform and opening up had just begun, and the people’s ideas could not be changed for a while, so she did not make a big show of it with gongs, drums, and firecrackers. She just invited a few close friends to come together and make the “Moon Palace” with her own hands under the witness of everyone. A plaque was hung up to signify the official opening.
After hanging the plaque, everyone sat together and had the first meal in the Moon Palace.
When Su Yue returned to the dining table from the kitchen, Xu Can was the first to stand up and shouted: “Come on, come on, let’s toast our boss Su and congratulate her!”
Everyone raised their glasses one after another, even Several children were holding the fruit and vegetable juices squeezed by Su Yue and toasting to Su Yue solemnly.
Dabao said to Su Yue: “Mom, I wish you good luck in opening your business and a prosperous business.”
I don’t know who he learned this from, but Su Yue was very happy when she heard it, and she leaned over and kissed him, “Thank you, Mom’s big baby.”
Seeing his mother kiss the big baby, Xiaobao immediately stretched his cup forward and said hurriedly: “Mom, mom, I also want to bless you, I wish you… um. …”
It’s a pity that his vocabulary is not as good as his brother’s. He thought for a long time and couldn’t figure it out. He was so anxious that he scratched his head and head. Just when Su Yue wanted to help him out, he suddenly had an idea and shouted: ” Mom, I wish you make a lot of money every day, and then take us to count the money together!”
Su Yue: ….. This brat, why do you treat your old mother like a money addict?
”Hahaha——” Everyone at the table laughed.
The meal was spent in such joy and laughter. Everyone was very happy. The only regret is that Han Aiguo took his soldiers on a secret mission a few days ago and has not come back yet. She does not know where he is at the moment.
It’s really a pity not to have him around to witness this wonderful day.
In the evening, Su Yue, Ma Cuiyun and Sister Wang cleaned the restaurant together and then asked Ma Cuiyun and Sister Wang to go back first, while she took stock of the accounts before leaving.
There were no complicated accounts on the first day. It was done in ten minutes. She put the account books away and walked to the door.
She was about to lock the door and go back to rest, but before she could close the door, she was blocked by a slender but dark hand.
Looking along the big hand, Su Yue immediately shouted uncontrollably: “Han Aiguo, you’re back!”
After saying that, she threw herself on him uncontrollably, wrapping her legs tightly around him on the waist.
Han Aiguo smiled and hugged her, kissed her smooth forehead, “Today is your good day, how can I miss it? Even if I have to crawl, I will crawl back to you.”
Su Yue then noticed that he was still wearing his combat uniform, his body was dirty, his face was dirty, and his whole body was smelly. At first glance, she knew that he had rushed back as soon as the mission was completed. But she didn’t dislike the way he looked at this moment at all. She just felt that her heart and eyes were filled with happiness, and she couldn’t help but kiss his lips twice.
Han Aiguo’s eyes deepened, and he carried her into the house. While locking the door, he said in a hoarse voice: “Today is a good day for you. I have prepared a gift for you.”
Su Yue’s eyes lit up and she was immediately rude. She went to touch his waist pocket and asked, “What did you bring for me?”
Han Aiguo smiled and said nothing, letting her touch it, but after touching for a long time, she found nothing.
Su Yue pouted, “Let me see it, where are you hiding?”
Han Aiguo laughed out loud, suddenly hugged her and spun around twice, stopped and then said in her ear: “I want to give you a good News.”
Su Yue blinked, becoming even more curious, holding her fist to demonstrate in front of him, “What’s the good news? Tell me, tell me, tell me, I’m going to beat someone up if you keep the suspense! Do you see the fist as big as a sandbag?”
Han Aiguo smiled and held her “sandbag-sized” fist, and said without any hesitation: “The Sharp Knife Battalion I lead has been officially established as a special brigade. I have been appointed captain of the special brigade, and my rank has been promoted to colonel. The position has been promoted to team leader.”
After hearing this, Su Yue was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly hugged his neck and screamed loudly: “Ahhhh – Han Aiguo – husband – you have been promoted! You are great !”
Han Aiguo asked with a smile: “Then do you like this gift that your husband gave you?”
Su Yue nodded, “I like it, I like it so much, I love you, husband!” As she said that, she kept touching his lips.
Han Aiguo hadn’t touched her for a long time, but now he was treated so warmly by her, and a burst of heat immediately surged up in his lower abdomen. At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind, and that was – get rid of her!
He carried her to the backyard, and after dispatching the two children as quickly as possible, he brought his enthusiastic little wife back to the room, pressed her on the bed, and looked at her with watery eyes that were both shy and expectant, penetrated her.
Then it was done over and over again.
I don’t know how long it took, but when he was finally satisfied, Su Yue was so tired that she couldn’t move a finger. She fell into a dream as soon as she closed her eyes, and she didn’t wake up even when Han Aiguo took her to take a bath.
————————————————
Su Yue saw the system in her sleep. This time, the system took the initiative to summon her.
System: Host, first of all I want to congratulate you. You have successfully completed your mission. You have completely changed Han Aiguo’s destiny. He will have a smooth life in the future.
Before Su Yue could be happy because of the system’s words, the system continued: Since you have completed the task, it is time for me to leave. Host, I want to say goodbye to you.
Su Yue was stunned, and then asked quickly: “Are you leaving? Where are you going?”
System: I’m going to continue the next mission.
After saying that, the system disappeared. Su Yue called several times but got no response.
After a long time, Su Yue sighed and accepted the fact that the system had really left.
When she opened her eyes again, she found that the sky was already bright and the sun was shining brightly outside. The bright sunlight shone on the windows and cast a golden beam inside the house.
The voices of Dabao and Xiaobao came from outside: “Why hasn’t mom woke up yet?”
Han Aiguo: “Mom was tired from cooking yesterday and needs to sleep a little longer. Don’t disturb mom.”
The two children said in disappointment. Oh” said.
Su Yue suddenly laughed silently. She liked days like this so much. The years were quiet and peaceful, and she was at peace with the world.
She believes that she will always be happy.
