Chapter 21 Summer Breeze
"There are a lot of animals in the mountains in winter, and I have nothing to do, so I killed a few more." I originally wanted to send them out earlier, but I was afraid that Uncle Xia would not be able to do business, and the animals would go bad if left at home.
But it was different there. He found a cave in the mountains. Inside was a natural ice cave. Even in summer, there was ice inside.
"Didn't he go into the mountains?" He still felt sorry for his nephew.
"No, it's not far behind the house." He wouldn't tell him even if he went in.
The deep mountains are a dangerous place for the villagers, but for him, they are his mother.
The mother who raised him.
If it weren't for those mountains, he would probably have died by now.
"That's good. You are still young and cannot lose your life for such a small amount of money. Your parents in heaven would not want to see their only child lose his life for this." Xia Feng is a very dedicated elder.
Xia Feng nodded, with a very obvious smile on his face, "Uncle Xia, don't worry, I won't take my life lightly."
They chatted and laughed all the way and soon arrived at the Xia family courtyard.
Because of Rongrong, we could hear their laughter from far away at home.
"Rongrong, you can't eat that thing." Xiaoxuan is not going to school today. Their school starts after the first month of the lunar year.
He was playing with his sister at home, while Xia Yutong was nourishing her younger siblings and making some modern snacks at home.
For example, everyone loves fried foods.
There is also delicious barbecued pork, of course, this is also the business she will develop next.
The money earned from the braised meat business alone is not enough to make a fortune.
She still had to think of other ways.
When Xia Feng brought Xia Feng in, he saw his son and Rongrong fighting over something.
Mother Xia sat not far away, watching the two of them with a smile on her face.
"Xiaoxuan, Rongrong, what are you arguing about? Dad can hear you from far away." Now that he has hope in life, Xia Feng has a smile on his face all day long.
Unlike when he was in the village before, there would be more wrinkles on his face whether he went out or went home.
Hearing their father's voice, the two of them immediately stopped fighting and hurried towards Father Xia.
"Dad, you're back." Xiaoxuan and Rongrong shouted together.
When they finished shouting, they saw someone following behind their father.
When Xiaoxuan saw this person, he was so happy, "Brother Feng, Brother Feng." Xiaoxuan liked Xia Feng very much.
When I was in the village, he was the only one who would feed me and take me out to play.
Now, he always sends him some small fruits that are only available in the mountains, and Xiaoxuan likes Xia Feng very much.
"Well, I'm here to deliver goods for Uncle Feng today. Why didn't Xiaoxuan go to school today?" Xia Feng talked more to the people in the Xia family.
"The school hasn't started yet. We have to wait until after the New Year." Xiaoxuan helped Xia Feng push the car into the yard.
Rongrong just hung on her father and refused to come down.
Later, Xiaoxuan and Xiaofeng were chatting happily, so Xia Feng walked directly to his wife and asked, "How are you at home today? Did you get enough rest?"
Xia Feng truly loves his daughter-in-law.
Mother Xia now showed some reaction to her family members and was not as dull as before. As soon as Father Xia finished speaking, Mother Xia looked at him with a smile and nodded.
"good."
That’s right, now Mother Xia can respond to everyone simply.
The fragrance of the house quickly attracted everyone.
"What delicious food is your elder sister making again?" Xia Feng asked, taking a deep breath of the fragrance.
"Roast pork and fried meatballs." Rongrong's eyes were full of food. When she heard her father ask about her eldest sister, she jumped up and said, "Dad, my eldest sister said we can add a few more dishes. That way, we can still have some business." Xiaoxuan relayed what his eldest sister had said to his father.
"No, no." Xia Feng hurriedly shook his head when he heard his daughter come up with a new idea. "Our business is booming right now, so there's no need to increase it. Come on, tell your sister to stop working. Your brother Xiaofeng will come over and ask your sister to cook some good food. Dad wants to have a nice drink with your brother Xiaofeng today."
Even though he was led into the business world, the non-competitive nature of Xia's father was not worn away.
He felt that the money the family earned was enough and the family didn't need to work too hard.
"Okay."
When he heard there was food, Xiaoxuan ran faster than a rabbit.
Looking at the harmonious family, Xia Feng was very envious.
Soon Xia Yutong prepared a table full of delicious food. After coming out and meeting Xia Feng, she went back into the kitchen.
The kitchen was at the back, so she didn't know about Xia Feng's arrival.
At the dinner table, Xia Feng and Xia Feng were drinking some wine, enjoying their leisurely lives.
"You are not young anymore. What are your plans for the future?" Xia Feng was a little drunk and asked in the manner of an elder.
Xia Feng shook his head and said, "I don't know." He really didn't know what he would do in the future. He felt good about hunting like this, but what if he got married in the future?
Who would be willing to marry him with such an unstable life?
Just as this topic came up, Xia Yutong took out the meatballs and roast pork in her hand.
This is the third time.
"If Brother Feng doesn't know what to do in the future, why don't you come to our house and help my dad run the stall every day?" She felt that she could start the barbecue business.
Barbecue tastes better in the summer, but it’s not a bad time to start now.
When Father Xia heard Xiaotong's words, he immediately agreed, "Yes, Xiaofeng, why don't you come to your uncle's house to help."
He also wanted to help his good friend's son.
He is already fifteen this year. If his parents were still around, he should be getting married at this age.
"Dad, that's not what I meant." Xia Yutong hurriedly interrupted her father. You know, Brother Feng's income from hunting in the mountains is no worse than their business.
One shipment can sustain him for several months.
Father Xia put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at Xiaotong, "Tell me." He wanted to help, and of course he was aware of his family's situation.
It is not difficult to hire someone, but this amount of money is definitely not enough to support a family.
"Dad, this is what I think. I want to open a barbecue restaurant with Brother Feng, like the one you ate today." Xia Yutong told them her idea.
After listening to it, Xia Feng's eyes lit up and he felt a little moved.
However, he grew up alone and learned to read people's faces. He glanced at Uncle Xia.
It's not that he is suspicious, it's just his instinct.
Fortunately, Father Xia did not let everyone down. He took control of everything that could make money.
"It's a good idea, but does our family have the money to open a store now?" This is the most troublesome part.
He really didn't know how much money their family had earned over the years, because Xiaoxuan had given all the money to his sister for safekeeping.
Of course Xia Feng had no objection, he was just worried that his family didn't have enough money.
"That's enough." Xiaoxuan was more excited than anyone else when he heard that there was new business, which meant that there was money coming in.
In this family, the person he trusts most is his eldest sister.
