Reopening
Secretary Gou is very proud today.
After the meeting, a group of branch secretaries jealously urged him to treat them.
No, he just likes to see your sour looks.
Let those big villages look down on him. So what if the village is big and has many people? There is still no decent child.
He looked at the mother and son of the Qin family with a particularly warm attitude: "Comrade Yufeng, I will treat you to a meal, and then we will go back."
"How can I do that? I can't be where I am today without the support of you and the two teachers. So, I will hold a thank-you banquet for you and the two teachers someday, and I will definitely give you a lot of money then."
Hu Yufeng said.
Secretary Gou smiled more amiably: "Hey, I will definitely be there..."
After the mother and son parted ways with Secretary Gou, Hu Yufeng said, "Let's go get some meat and go home to make dumplings..."
Qin Wenli had no objection.
After putting two kilograms of lean meat and buying some vegetables, the two of them pushed their bicycles slowly.
After entering the grocery store, Qin Wenli suddenly said, "Mom, let's buy a photo frame and hang the certificate on the wall so that everyone can see it."
It would be fine if we didn't mention it, but when Hu Yufeng thought about it, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "Forget it, it's too conspicuous to hang it up."
Qin Wenli said: "What's so great about this? You got it by your own ability. This is the first certificate of honor in our family. Listen to me, hang up."
Hu Yufeng was shaken by his rare determination. Forget it, since the child is so insistent, just let him die.
She couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth.

The road was brisk, and Qin Yu came to meet him early again. Without waiting for the bicycle to stop, he said: "Grandma, grandma, where is the certificate? Let me see it..."
Hu Yufeng got out of the car and took out the certificate and gave it to her.
Qin Yu looked at it with great interest. Hu Yufeng asked, "Do you know him?"
Qin Yu nodded: "Yes, I know you, this is your name, grandma."
Hu Yufeng was surprised for a moment, but Qin Yu was already praising her: "This certificate is so beautiful. Grandma, you are so amazing. I want to earn a certificate when I grow up..."
Qin Wenli smiled when he heard this: "Then I'll wait for your certificate."
Qin Yu nodded heavily and said proudly: "Wait for it, Dad. I want to earn a bunch of certificates and hang them all over our walls..."
The whole family laughed.
After the whole family had lovingly touched the photo frame, Qin Wenli took it, picked up two nails and went to hang it up.
Hu Yufeng was too embarrassed to watch, so she went to make dumplings with Yang Xiu.
The Qin family only eats dumplings with fresh meat during the Chinese New Year. The rest of the time it's either pickled pork or smoked pork.
Today is a good day, the whole family joined in and soon plates of dumplings were out of the pot.
The two children were so scalded that they cried “shashasha”, but they still praised the food for being delicious.
Yang Xiu smiled: "If you two can earn awards like your grandma, mom will give them to you..."
Hu Yufeng also laughed: "Then you are afraid of being beaten. You didn't hear it just now, but Yuyu said that she wants to cover our house with award certificates!"
"Oh, you are so ambitious. As long as you can earn enough, mom will make dumplings for you every meal!"
"Wait for it, Mom. I'll go to school next year..." Qin Yu vowed.
The whole family laughed. Yang Xiu patted her head: "Then I'll wait."
After laughing, the family started talking about setting up stalls.
Yang Xiu's foot has been resting for more than ten days. Hu Yufeng suggested that it would be better to go to the health center for another check-up. If it is indeed healed, then he can open the stall.
Qin Wenli nodded in agreement.
Early the next morning, Qin Wenli rode his bike and took Yang Xiu to the health center again.
It’s the same doctor from last time. She checked and told them that they were indeed fine. However, you should still be careful not to do strenuous exercise in the short term.
The happiest person was Yang Xiu. The scratches on her face and arms had healed long ago, and she was just waiting to get back on track so she could start working.
Every day you delay means a day’s loss of profit.
When she told the story when she got home, Hu Yufeng was also very happy. After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law discussed it, they began to prepare for opening the stall tomorrow.
The noodles that should be distributed must be distributed, and the signboard must be hung up quickly.
Qin Wenli abandoned the original wooden rack and simply asked a welding shop to weld an "H"-shaped iron rack. When the time comes, put the chopping board up and the signboard will be hung above the chopping board.
On August 26, the sun was shining brightly and the autumn weather was crisp and cool.
It was still Qin Wenzhen’s tricycle, and still the same place.
The two brothers lifted the iron rack down and straightened it out, and used it to place chopping boards, washbasins, pots and stoves and other utensils.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were busy tidying up. Qin Wenli took out two screws from his pocket, took out a brand new sign and hung it up.
While I was busy, I heard a woman yelling, "Who told you to put it here? This is my home, move aside..."
The three busy people looked up and saw a woman of medium height with drooping eyebrows looking at them unfriendlyly.
Seeing the three people looking over, the woman said again: "You must be new here. My family put it here. Move it away quickly..."
Hey, Hu Yufeng threw the rag in her hand and said, "Who is the newcomer? Go and ask around. I've been here for more than half a year. Am I the newcomer?"
The woman paused for a moment, then said stubbornly, "I don't care where you were before. Anyway, we were here last episode, and this is ours."
That's unreasonable, isn't it? Hu Yufeng rolled up her sleeves and put her hands on her hips: "So, I don't care where you were last time. I'll put this piece of land up to you and you can go wherever you want..."
"You are an unreasonable woman, aren't you? I tried to talk to you nicely but you didn't listen. Well, you wait..." The woman left angrily.
The three of them were not affected at all and continued to work with their heads down.
Just this little episode, in this rural fair, there must be three or five of them in every episode, right? It is best to discuss things in a friendly manner. It is not uncommon to see people quarreling or even fighting.
There is no way, everyone wants to grab that excellent geographical location. But in such a big market, there are only a few good spots, so you have to fight for them.
Is it easy to make money? It’s never easy. It doesn’t mean that money will flow into your pocket just because you have good skills. You have to compete with others to see who gets up earlier, who runs faster, and even who is more courageous and willing to take risks. Then comes the competition of skills.
Not long after, the stalls on both sides arrived, and seeing the three of them, they all smiled: "Hey, I haven't seen you for a few episodes. Have you finished your housework?"
Hu Yufeng smiled: "It's over. I haven't seen you for a few episodes. I missed you so much..."
"Who said it wasn't? It's so nice for us old sisters to chat together. Without you, we both feel empty inside." The older sister next door also joked with a smile.
The Qin family's stall was doing good business, and with the two of them in business, their business became stable. If this doesn't happen, won't you feel empty inside?
"Hey, you guys also made a brand, what's its name..." Sister Li on the left saw it.
"It was made by the young people and is called 'Yufeng Mahua'. It means abundance and good harvest," Hu Yufeng pointed at Qin Wenli.
"'Yufeng Mahua'? Named after you? This kid is very thoughtful. How about we make one too?" Sister Li asked Sister Yang.
Sister Yang smiled and said, "Okay, then you can call yourself 'Big Foot Pancake'..."
"Forget it, forget it. Not only does it sound less elegant than others, but if it's really like this, no one would dare to come. They would think I did it with my feet..." Sister Li felt happy just thinking about it.
Several people were laughing and busy with their hands.
Qin Wenli packed up everything and went about his business. Hu Yufeng lit the fire and prepared to boil the pot.
He turned around and reminded Yang Xiu: "If you feel your feet are not feeling well, sit down and take a rest. It will affect the rest of your life. Don't take it lightly..."
"Okay, okay..." Yang Xiu quickly agreed. The whole family had reminded him eight times this morning.
As the small golden-hued fried dough twists were taken out of the frying pan, a sweet aroma quickly spread among the crowd.
Sister Wang next door took a deep breath and said, "Oh, I haven't smelled anything for a long time. Give me one first..."
Hu Yufeng pushed away her hand that was offering her money and gave her one: "We are friends, why do you need money? Try it, this is a new flavor."
Then he gave Sister Li another one.
The two of them took a bite with smiles on their faces: the skin was crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and there was a fragrance. It was delicious!
"Oh, you're setting up a stall today. I haven't seen you for half a month, and I thought you had stopped setting up the stall. I was just worrying about where to buy things in the future..." When Aunt Gu saw the stall, her eyes lit up.
"Auntie, there are some things at home. I haven't seen you for half a month. Are you okay?" Hu Yufeng handed a fried dough twist to Auntie Gu.
Aunt Gu is the Qin family’s most loyal customer. I've been buying from them since they first opened their stall. I heard that your children are all promising and are working in other places. There are only two old people in the family, and they are very rich!
Aunt Gu blew on it twice and then took a bite impatiently, squinting her eyes and chewing it carefully.
After a long while, he replied: "I was sick for two days a few days ago, but I'm fine now."
"It's getting cooler in autumn, so you have to be careful, put on more clothes, and drink more water in the morning and evening. It's easiest to get sick when the seasons change." Hu Yufeng said with concern.
"Your fried dough twist is different from before. What did you add to it?" Aunt Gu was only concerned about the fried dough twist.
"With pumpkin added, which one do you think tastes better?"
"They can't be compared. Each has its own merits. So, give me two pounds of each." Aunt Gu made the decision readily.
Yes, when most people were still buying by the pound, Aunt Gu had already started buying by the kilogram.
Hu Yufeng's smile became more and more amiable, like a filial younger generation. According to the lady's request, I picked up the ones with beautiful colors and put them in bags.

"You're the one occupying my sister's place, aren't you? I'll give you three minutes to move your stall away. My sister's is here..."
Hu Yufeng looked up and saw a fat black man with a ferocious look pointing at her and yelling, with the woman standing next to him.
Hu Yufeng slowly handed the bag to Aunt Gu, took the money, and then said:
"I've made it very clear before. I've been here for half a year, and you guys took it over when I was home for a few days. You took it over, but now that I'm back, you still want to take it over. Isn't that too much?"
"Stop talking nonsense. Who cares how many years you've been setting up this stall? I said this stall is ours, and it is ours. You'd better move it quickly..." The fat black man's face became more and more ferocious.
Hu Yufeng also frowned: "I'm talking to you, but you don't want to listen, right? You said I have to move? I told you, I'm set, I won't move!"
“You don’t want to move, right? I told you not to move…” The fat black man raised his hands and wanted to smash the stall.
In a flash, Hu Yufeng picked up a kitchen knife and chopped at the evil hand: "You dare to touch my stall..."
