To the north of Xinling City is an industrial area, with more than 20 factories built so far since the founding of the People's Republic of China.Among them, especially the Nanjiang diesel engine factory near Qinshan Lake is the largest, with more than 2,000 workers, plus the family, including six or seven thousand people, living in several new villages on both sides of Qinshan Road.

At the beginning of the reform, state-owned enterprises were still the highest-ranking and highest-paid units in society, and being a worker in state-owned enterprises was one of the most enviable professions.However, within the same company, the situation of each household is not the same, Feng Xiaochen with Feng Lingyu to visit this house, is one of the few difficult households in the family yard of the diesel engine factory.

“Sister, here I come.”

Knocking on the door, facing a girl who came to open the door, Feng Xiaochen called affectionately.

This girl has twenty-seven and eight-year-olds, slim, clear-faced, and a thick braided behind her head, which makes it easy to think of verses such as "to your long hair and waist".She was wearing a blue cloth overalls of the diesel engine factory, and the color was already a little white, but the pulp was washed clean and vaguely smelled of the sun.When she opened the door, she still had a little haze on her face, but when she saw Feng Xiaochen standing at the door, the haze immediately turned into a warm spring breeze.As she was busy asking the two of them into the house, she asked in a loud voice:

“How come you’re here, don’t you have to go to work today?”This is your brother, I think, is it called Feng Lingyu?I saw him in your picture, but he was still young.”

"Ling Yu, this is Chen sister, when I was in the clear spot, Chen sister is better for me than my sister."

Feng Xiaochen took Feng Lingyu into the door, sat down in the bamboo chair in the living room, and solemnly introduced to his brother.

When Feng Xiaochen graduated from junior high school, he was less than 14 years old, and in accordance with the policy provisions, he was directly arranged to a place called Qingdong County in Nanjiang Province.His grandfather Feng Weiren was still a reactionary academic authority at that time, he was monitored for labor, his father Feng Li taught in the countryside, belonging to the stinking old nine who had no status, plus he was too young to fight and beat others, so he belonged to the role of being bullied at Zhiqing.

In front of him, the girl named Chen Lihan, is eight or nine years older than Feng Xiaochen, and was also an old qualification at Zhiqing.Because the whole Zhiqing point comes from the provincial city of Xinling only two people, so she took the new Feng Xiaochen as her brother, everywhere to take care of him.When someone bullies Feng Xiaochen, Chen Lihan will be like a lioness who cares for each other.The life of Zhiqing is difficult, and Chen Lihan often leaves the delicious food brought from home to Feng Xiaochen to eat.When Feng Xiaochen first arrived in the countryside, he would not do any agricultural work, and Chen Lihan taught him the same way, and often helped him complete tasks that he could not complete.

After the end of the movement, Zhiqing Point was withdrawn, and millions of Zhiqing returned to the city, and Chen Lihan and Feng Xiaochen returned to Xinling.However, after the two returned, the situation was very different.

As Feng Weiren was implemented, Feng's family suddenly turned over, and Feng Li was transferred back to Xinling to work and entered the second of some fame.Feng Xiaochen also through his grandfather's light, into the metallurgical hall, although only a temporary worker, but also a job.

Chen Lihan is different.Her father died of illness the year before, and his older brother replaced him into the factory and was officially compiled.The temporary work positions arranged for the children of the employees in the factory have also been occupied by the younger brother, she came back late, there is no place for her to use, she can only stay at home indefinitely like many others.

The two younger brothers have been married, in order to scrape together the popular "48 legs" furniture in the society, the family had some savings have been exhausted, but also owed a lot of money to the factory mutual aid association.The two new families have a large number of infrastructure to engage in, "three turns and one press" and other household appliances are not yet equipped, so the two younger brothers are impossible to pay wages to the family.As for the debt and the support of her sister, it can only fall on the shoulders of Chen Lihan's mother.

A brother was going to the dormitory in the factory and moved out with his sister-in-law.Another brother and sister-in-law occupied Chen Lihan's original room at home, and Chen Lihan could only live in one room with his mother, Luo Xiulan.The little sister-in-law who lives at home is pregnant, is thinking about the birth of the child after giving it to the old man, for the big aunt living in the home occupied space is quite dissatisfied, inside and out of the words are with thorns, moving to say that the old aunt is not young, has become the old girl, really can not, find a divorced or dead wife of the man quickly married out, but also save the eyes...

Feng Xiaochen had already heard that Chen Lihan had had an unforgettable emotional experience, after that, she seemed to be heartbreaking, indifferent to many pursuers, so she was dragged to this age alone.Feng Xiaochen is also very clear about the situation after Chen Lihan returned to the city.Although he is not a young man, but he has no conscience, and he has always felt for this older sister who once took care of himself like a sister and even a mother.

Now this Feng Xiaochen inherited the body of the former Feng Xiaochen, but also inherited some of his feelings.When he saw Chen Lihan, Feng Xiaochen still couldn't help but have a warm feeling.In the past, he had limited ability to protect himself and not enough, and he could help Chen Lihan.Now he has been reborn, become a new person, before he went to Beijing, he decided to help his predecessor but a wish.

“Wow, why are you here?Don’t you work in the metallurgical hall?“Well, I’ll give you some water.”

Chen Lihan instinctively wanted to ask the Feng brothers to eat at home, talk to the mouth, and swallowed it hard.Now she has no income, she belongs to eating white food at home, who is eligible to invite guests to eat.If the family is only her and her mother, she can barely take charge, but the little sister-in-law who must be more reluctant will not tolerate her generous behavior, if you see the Feng brothers eating at home, they may be carrying a gun and a stick to throw them out of the door.

Feng Xiaochen has two world-class experiences, where can't hear what the words Chen Lihan did not say, and where can't see the twilight that passed by Chen Lihan's eyes.He waved his hand and said, "Sister, don't worry, I'm bringing Xiaoyu today, I have something to talk to you about, so I want you to help me a favor."

“Help?How can I help you?”Chen Lihan asked in amazement, and then sat down in the chair next to him, waiting for Feng Xiaochen to speak.

"I got a self-employed license, I want Xiaoyu to open a small restaurant, sister, can you come to help?" 」Feng Xiaochen said bluntly.

To be a self-employed person, it is not easy to get a door face to do it, but also need to apply for a thing called "self-employed license".Although the state has expressed support for the development of the self-employed, it has reservations about the issuance of licenses, and it is worried about the unpredictable consequences of flowering everywhere.Luo Xiangfei invited Feng Xiaochen to work in Beijing, asked him if he had any worries to help solve, Feng Xiaochen's only request was to ask Luo Xiangfei to help him get a self-employed license, so that his brother Feng Lingyu can legally open.

A license is certainly a difficult thing for people without a door, but for Luo Xiangfei, it is just a sentence.Feng Xiaochen convinced his family with the big reason and small truth, and then took Feng Li and Feng Lingyu with Luo Xiangfei's batch of strips from the provincial Economic Commission, and received the self-employed license to the omnipotent "related units", and the opening of the store was officially launched.

According to Feng Xiaochen's plan, Feng Lingyu will first start from the catering industry, open a small restaurant as the starting book, as for how to develop in the future, Feng Xiaochen did not tell his parents, but revealed one or two to his brother, said Feng Lingyu blood, I would like to start immediately began to implement.

In that year, the number of individual restaurants was still very small, and state-owned restaurants had the notoriety of "difficult door, ugly face, and unattainable food", which made people respectable.Open an individual restaurant, as long as the service attitude is good, the taste is still good, basically is a business that is stable and unprofitable.

Feng Li and He Xuezhen have some common sense of life, and know that opening a restaurant is a good business.However, Feng Lingyu gave up the opportunity to replace the metallurgical hall and worked full-time as a self-employed, and this bold proposal was not approved by Feng Lisz.After a complex and fierce ideological struggle, the two finally accepted a compromise, that is, Feng Lingyu still went to the metallurgical hall as a temporary worker, in the name of He Xuezhen to open this shop, Feng Lingyu used his spare time to manage and accumulate experience.If the future policy is stable and the restaurant can really make money, then consider Feng Lingyu's departure.As for the daily operation of the restaurant, it is necessary to ask someone else to take care of it.

This program is different from Feng Xiaochen's original vision, but the deviation is not far.In fact, Feng Xiaochen at the beginning of the intention to introduce a partner, because he knows that his brother Feng Lingyu can not cook, but also has no business experience, and at such a young age, he can not handle complex interpersonal relationships.His idea is that Feng Lingyu is the chairman and chief financial officer, and then hire a person to be a professional manager, and the person in his mind is Chen Lihan.

When he knew the point, Feng Xiaochen knew that Chen Yihan was proficient in cooking, and at the same time, he had the experience of life that he knew and practiced, which was enough to do such a thing.What is more rare is that Chen Lihan is kind-hearted and has good character, and is definitely a "Chinese partner" who is difficult to find with a lantern.

Feng Lis and his wife are no strangers to the name of Chen Lihan, and know that she had taken care of Feng Xiaochen, who was Feng Xiaochen's benefactor.From Feng Xiaochen's past, Feng Li's impression of this girl is also very good.Feng Xiaochen accepted his parents' proposal to let Feng Lingyu replace him as a temporary worker in the metallurgical hall, while taking into account the small restaurant's plan, and proposed to ask Chen Lihan to take charge of the daily life of the restaurant, which led to the visit of the Feng family brothers.

Hearing Feng Xiaochen's words, Chen Lihan was a little surprised and a little excited.In fact, she has been desperate for the unit to arrange work, but also really moved the past to open a restaurant to eat their own energy.But she has no ability to get a license, and there is no channel to raise funds for start-up, so this idea can only be born in the womb.At first, when she heard that her little brother was going to open a restaurant, and she was going to ask her to help, she felt that she did not know what to say.
