The two old men and a boy were a bit deserted for the New Year together. If Ji Ling was at home, Ji Ling, a weird guy, would be much better, the atmosphere would be much better.

"Ji Dong, why don't you go to Huacheng with Ji Ling to celebrate the New Year? What's the point of celebrating the New Year with two old guys?" Zhang Dashuan said.

"Jiling and your mother come back to pick you up for the New Year, so you should follow me. Let your parents buy you more new clothes. Your parents are really good. When you come back, you don't know how many clothes you bring you back. There are so many styles of clothes in the city and beautiful, and there is nothing good about the clothes in the town." Xiao Daidi said.

Zhang Jidong took the rice and ate it crispy and fragrantly, and said with a smile: "I just like to celebrate the New Year at home."

"Grandpa and grandma are old, what's the fun of having the Chinese New Year with you? If you are in Huacheng, your family of four can go around to play." Zhang Dashuan said.

"You didn't hear my mother say that they didn't come back for the New Year because my dad's construction site was going to start during the New Year. Ji Ling also attended a cram school. If I went there, I would definitely be locked in the house and watching TV. Are you so comfortable at home?" Zhang Jidong said.

As they were talking, Zhou Ganquan and his family came over with big bags of things.

"Uncle Dashuan, we're going to wish you a happy new year during the New Year."

Zhou Ganquan brought a lot of things, with more than 20 kilograms of meat, a whole corner of leg meat. There were also a few pieces of fruit and two bottles of good wine. The gift was not light, but if you count it roughly, it would cost at least several hundred yuan. Shuanghe didn't give such a heavy gift to his mother-in-law for New Year's greetings to her mother-in-law.

"Ganquan, what are you doing? Why are you taking so many things? You won't bring me the one you gave to your mother-in-law, right?" Zhang Dashuan was also surprised after taking Zhou Ganquan's gift.

"Uncle Dashun, it should be, it should be. Qingyong, our family has no brains and can't study. If Ji Dong had not opened a snack bar, it would have been difficult for him to ask for his wife in the future. If Ji Dong hadn't been so popular, our family would have known this. In the future, Uncle Dashun would have had something to do, just say hello. Even if it was a knife in the sky, I would have come to listen to Uncle Dashun's orders." Zhou Ganquan said.

"I really dare not call you." Zhang Dashuan laughed.

As adults talked about adults, Zhang Jidong and Zhou Qingyong went upstairs. There was also a living room upstairs. There was a TV set, and the TV shows were very lively, but now it is no longer easy to arouse everyone's interest.

"Ji Dong, I went back to discuss with my parents. What my parents meant, I will all listen to you." Zhou Qingyong said. Zhou Ganquan and his wife were worried that if Zhou Qingyong was asked to recruit people, some things might be difficult to explain in the future. After all, Zhou Qingyong is usually the only one who is in charge of the snack bar. Zhou Ganquan is not stupid, so naturally he understands that no one will have any problems left in this snack bar, but Zhang Jidong cannot do without Zhang Jidong. The reason why the snacks in the snack bar are so delicious is entirely due to the seasonings prepared by Zhang Jidong. The seasonings for each snack are different, and others cannot imitate them. In the future, if there is a rift between the two, Zhang Jidong can kick Zhou Qingyong away to find someone else. Therefore, Zhou Ganquan is here to pay New Year's greetings this time.

"You usually take care of it in the store, just do it. I can trust you." Zhang Jidong suddenly understood what Zhou Qingyong meant.

"Jidong, you should recruit people. You can recruit relatives from your family." Zhou Qingyong said.

"What are we going to recruit our relatives? My aunt and uncle work in Huacheng and will not come to work in my store. Other relatives used to be unable to see any other person, but now my family has improved, they run out one by one. They ask grandpa to borrow money at all. If they are brought to the store, you won't have a peaceful life in the future." Zhang Jidong had no good feelings for his relatives, especially those from grandparents. He has never asked them about their two siblings for so many years.

"Okay, there are a few people in the village who work in restaurants outside. I'll ask if they are willing to work in our snack bar." Zhou Qingyong said.

"As long as the person is suitable, the salary will be higher," said Zhang Jidong.

"By the way, there is another thing. Wang Shenglin and Liu Chenggui called me today, can you join our snack bar?" Zhou Qingyong remembered another thing.

"Join?" Zhang Jidong asked without accepting it.

"It's just to hang out the signature of our snack bar, use the seasonings from our snack bar, open a store in other places, and give us a franchise fee every year. They mainly want to use the seasonings you make, so the franchise fee is naturally yours." Zhou Qingyong glanced at Zhang Jidong.

"They think beautifully! What franchise fee is we missing? Jiqing snack bar has only one, Tongshuling, this one, and there is no semicolon. You keep this store down-to-earth, don't be greedy for big things." Zhang Jidong said.

Zhou Qingyong hurriedly said, "I think so too. Now I have enough money every month. I can't spend it all in Shuanghe. I can just get a beautiful woman in the future."

"You are talking about your wife at any time now. Have you been moved by your heart? Have your parents looked for you?" Zhang Jidong said with a smile.

"No, no. How is that possible? I'm still young, and it will take several years to get married." Zhou Qingyong's face turned red.

Before Zhou Ganquan's family left, Zhou Yushu and Zhou Baocheng and his son came together. Zhou Baocheng took a few local specialties and Zhou Yushu brought a jar of good wine.

"Ganquan is here too." Zhou Yushu saw Zhou Ganquan and his wife as soon as he came in.

"I just sat for a while. Why don't we go back first?" Zhou Ganquan said.

"I haven't even drunk the wine, why are you in a hurry to leave? We either went to Dashun's house to send gifts and go to the back door. Or we went to visit the door. From then on, Qingyong and his uncle Baocheng opened shops in Tongshuling and took care of each other. Today we happened to meet and have a drink together." Zhou Yushu said.

Zhang Dashuan smiled and said, "Everyone sit down first, chat, the food will be ready soon."

Zhou Qingyong's mother Yang Yueling and Xiao Daidi had been in the kitchen for a long time, and the crisp collision of spatulas and pots came from the kitchen from time to time.

Zhou Ganquan and Zhou Yushu's family came to Zhang Jidong's house on New Year's Eve, but they knew that there were only three people in Zhang Jidong's family celebrating the New Year at home. It was too deserted, so they came over and were lively. And they took this opportunity to express their gratitude.

"If Ji Dong hadn't said a few words, I wouldn't have dared to open a shop in Chunshuling. Really, I had invested all my belongings in it. If I failed this time, my wife wouldn't be willing to follow me. I thought about it at that time. If I lost this time, I would go to Baoqun to work in peace in the future. But I was really unwilling to accept it. After so many years of tossing and struggling, I didn't make any name for myself. This time, I've walked the right path." Zhou Baocheng, who was almost forty years, said that his eyes were filled with tears. He has indeed lived a difficult life over the years. Originally, his mind was not worse than Baoqun, but his life was a thousand miles away from Baoqun. One was the frontal typical in the village, and the other was the negative typical in the village. Zhou Baocheng was under tremendous pressure. Now the local specialty store is booming, and people in the village say that Zhou Baocheng is smart.
