The summer solstice, literally, should be the hottest day of the year. In fact, it is not the case. Winter is 39 and summer is 7. The hottest day is still far away.

Under the big tree at the entrance of the "Prosperous Convenience Store", Yuan Dazhi lay lazily on a bamboo chair, holding a cattail leaf fan in his hand, fanning it from time to time. There was a stool next to the recliner, with a radio and a

A large can bottle. Shan Tianfang's storytelling "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" was playing on the radio. The can bottle contained half a bottle of tea leaves. Occasionally, Yuan Dazhi would pick up the bottle and take a sip, and then he would make a rumbling sound in his mouth.

Then he turned his head and spit out one or two tea leaves in his mouth.

Yuan Dazhi feels very comfortable. He was open for 12 days last month and received a dividend of 8,000 yuan. The income of the store this month will not be less than 30,000 yuan, which means he can get a share of 15,000 yuan. That is what the whole family had to pay before.

It takes thirty-three months of hard work together to earn the income.

It's great, this is what we call living a good life.

After making more money, Yuan Dazhi's life has also become "corrupt". He dares to drink tea for thirty-six yuan a pound. Smoking is also a "stone forest", which costs four yuan and a half for a box, and a box is required every three days. Wine is also a "stone forest".

I changed to "Xifeng", which costs 8.50 yuan a bottle, but I rarely drink it. The store is still very busy most of the time, and I'm afraid of delaying things if I drink. When I'm so leisurely like now, I only have two or three hours after lunch every day.

.

As the weather gets hotter, residents start to come to convenience stores to buy things at fixed times, mostly in the morning and evening. If they don't need something urgently at noon, no one will come in the bright sun.

"Hello Uncle Yuan, where is Zhuzi?"

"Ah? Xiao Kai, is it time yet? The brat is probably still sleeping. Zhuzhu, Zhuzhu! If you don't get up yet, you'll be late!" Yuan Dazhi responded to Li Kai's greetings and called his son in a broken voice.

.

"Well, here we come." Yuan Tiezhu's dull response came from the room, and soon he walked out carrying his schoolbag and rubbing his eyes.

Since the convenience store opened, except for sleeping at night, Yuan Dazhi and his wife have not gone home. They also eat here. The store is busy, so they don't worry.

The two salesmen hired have working hours, from 7:30 to 11:30 in the morning, and from 3 to 7 in the afternoon.

"Zhuzi, take three 'bean treasures' and I'll keep the accounts." Li Kai stopped Yuan Tiezhu who was about to step out of the store.

At the beginning of the month, seeing that the weather was getting hotter, Li Yan and Yuan Dazhi discussed and purchased a freezer and started selling ice cream. The three little guys would occasionally eat it. There was a specially set up account book in the store for the two families to use.

All you need to do is record the items in the account books, and the dividends will be deducted from each company's dividends at the end of the month.

Although neither family cares about this small amount of money now, it would be better for the brothers to settle the accounts openly and be clear about it, so as to avoid any further estrangement due to such trivial matters in the future.

"Today is the summer solstice. We will eat noodles and noodles with soybean paste in the evening. After school, we should stop playing and come back early." Yuan Dazhi's wife poked her head out of the shop and said.

Yuan Dazhi's wife's name is Ruan Xiaomiao. Just hearing her name, I feel that she and Yuan Dazhi are not an ordinary match.

"I know, thanks for your hard work, auntie."

They said goodbye to Yuan Dazhi again, and the three children walked to school while eating popsicles.

Time flies by so fast. The final exam is only half a month away. The life in the second grade of junior high school is over. There were too many things in the past period and I was very restless. Li Kai was not in the mood to tutor everyone. He always asked them to study on their own. In the end, this

You have to hurry up after half a month.

"Squad leader, this is for you." Qiao Na handed a straw paper bag to Li Kai and opened it. Inside was Lu Xi's "Zhoucun Shaobing".

Since the last incident, Qiao Na has brought some snacks to Li Kai almost every day. The quantity is not much, an apple, a handful of pine nuts, a grilled fish fillet, and today... five "Zhoucun Shaobing". Start.

Sometimes Li Kai would be polite to her, but then she gradually got used to it, and now she actually looks forward to the "surprises" she brings every day.

"Huh? This one is good, fragrant and crispy." Li Kai had eaten this thing when he traveled to Quancheng in his previous life. It tasted pretty good, thin, fragrant and crispy with a hint of sweetness. But it is said that the authentic "Zhou"

"Village Shaobing" has no sweet taste, maybe he ate an improved version in his previous life.

The one brought by Qiao Na is not as sweet, but it is still delicious.

Under Qiao Na's eager gaze, Li Kai ate one sesame seed cake, rewrapped the rest and carefully put it into his schoolbag.

"My dad said that Uncle Zeng went back this morning and will be in Ancheng tomorrow afternoon. I want you to tell Uncle Li," Qiao Na watched with satisfaction as Li Kai finished eating before remembering to get down to business.

"Okay, thank you to the little fairy who sent the message." Li Kai deliberately teased her.

"Annoying. When are you coming to my house for dinner? I've been wanting to eat squid rice for a long time." Qiao Na pouted her little mouth.

"I'll go and forget about this. Sunday, Sunday night, I promise to be there."

"Then it's agreed, let's pull the hook." Qiao Na stretched out her right hand. The girl attached great importance to the sense of ceremony.

"Okay, pull the hook." Li Kai also stretched out his right hand, "Hang yourself with the hook. You are not allowed to change for a hundred years. Whoever changes will be the bad guy."

After the ceremony was completed, Qiao Na left with satisfaction.

The rice is about to arrive. This is the second time that rice has been transported from the Northeast. Last time, it was two tons. This time, it was six tons. No more. Master Zeng’s truck has a load capacity of only six tons. In fact, the traffic regulations at this time were not

It's very strict, and it's okay to be a little overweight, but Li Yan is still willing to be cautious and avoid unnecessary complications.

Winter Solstice Dumplings and Summer Solstice Noodles. It is traditional to eat noodles on the Summer Solstice. Anseong is close to the capital, so many families like to eat noodles with soybean paste, and the Li family and the Yuan family are no exception.

Cut the pork belly into small dices, stir-fry, add shredded fungus, diced mushrooms, and short yellow flower segments, mix with Anseong's unique sweet noodle sauce, add some "source of life", and simmer slowly over low heat for about ten minutes.

The "fried sauce" is ready. You can use shredded cucumbers or blanched mung bean sprouts for the dish. Summer noodles need to be soaked in cold water to taste refreshing.

Put these things together, mix carefully, then grab a few cloves of garlic, and you can enjoy it.

After the cooperation between the two companies, the Li family has benefited a lot in terms of cooking. Now they eat almost every meal at a convenience store. The gas stove at home has almost become Liu Fengzhi’s exclusive use for cooking late-night snacks.

Don't fire.

Liu Fengzhi felt embarrassed and wanted to pay some food expenses. The two old ladies of the Yuan family refused to do so and said that if the Li Yan family insisted on paying the food expenses, they would move out of here and go back to the small room in the water pump factory.

live.

Li Yan and his wife had no choice but to give up, but they were not takers. They would often buy fresh fish, meat and vegetables from the market. Moreover, Li Yan specially ordered milk from the milk factory, allowing the two old ladies to drink half a catty of it every day.

,increase nutrition.

After dinner, Li Yan stayed to help, and Liu Fengzhi took her two sons back home. She started rummaging through boxes and cabinets after getting off the day shift today, and finally found the "treasure" she had collected back then.

"Son, Mom wants to show you something. They said it is also valuable and good." Liu Fengzhi opened the door of the big house and slipped her two sons in with one hand at a time.

"What a good thing? Wait a minute, let me give you a good thing first." Li Kai was not very interested in the "good things" his mother said. Both Li and Liu were from ordinary families, and their ancestors had never been rich.

, leaving nothing surprising.

"Hey, try the 'Zhoucun Shaobing' that Qiao Na gave you. It tastes pretty good." Li Kai took out the paper bag from his schoolbag and handed it to Liu Fengzhi.

Liu Fengzhi opened it and looked at it, then broke off a piece and put it in her mouth, "Well, it's okay. Why do you want other people's things again? You are a big boy, you always want other people's little girls' things, and they are just food. Isn't that right?

?I’m really not ashamed.”

Liu Fengzhi said, taking out a piece of sesame seed cake that she had just broken off, and wrapping the rest in paper, "The day after tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Let's keep it as an offering to the Bodhisattva so that she can have a fresh taste."

After the "Knife" incident, Liu Fengzhi felt that too many things had happened this year, and she felt uneasy, so she specially "invited" Guanyin from her mother-in-law to enshrine it at home to protect her family's safety. She would give it to the Bodhisattva on the first and fifteenth day of every month.

Burn incense and offer it.

"Mom, this is useless superstition. Let me tell you a story. People in Western countries all believe in God. There was a man who was a devout believer. He prayed to God every day, hoping that God would

Let him win the lottery and make a fortune.

You know, the lottery is just like the prize-winning donation coupons sold on the street.

As a result, he failed to win the lottery after praying all his life. When he saw God after his death, he questioned God, I have believed in you all my life, but you have not fulfilled my wish. God sighed and said, if you want to win the lottery, you should at least go

Buy a lottery ticket so I can let you win.
