At 7:30 in the morning, the two of them woke up.

Qinyang City Hotel is a four-star hotel, furniture is modern style, simple, stylish.The only thing that makes you feel uncomfortable is the toilet.

Hou Canghai grew up in the state-run World An factory, and there were no toilets in the old-fashioned houses where he lived as a child, and everyone had to go to the public toilet to solve the battle.The public toilets in the community where he lived were suspended and built on the hillside, and the thick dung piles could be clearly seen from the toilet squatting pit, and there were countless white magne worms in the summer, stinking.When I was in elementary school, the boys began to smoke in the toilet for good reason, and the toilet was too stinky.

The conditions in the factory and the home conditions later began to improve, Hou Canghai family left the bungalow and moved to a small eight-story building with a white appearance, which was called a white building, and the middle-level cadres and technical backbone were qualified to live in it.Living in the white building, the Hou family finally bid farewell to the dirty and stinky public toilet, with an independent clean toilet, more than the treatment of most workers' families.

Stayed in a four-star hotel, the bright toilet is very visual impact.Hou Canghai stood on the side of the toilet for a while, and said to his wife, who was dressing: "I am convenient to go downstairs."

Xiaomei asked strangely, "There is a toilet in the room, why go downstairs."

Hou Canghai pulled a few pieces of paper in his hand and said, “It’s the toilet, so I went downstairs.”A lot of people use it, it’s too dirty.I don't care to give my health to the waiter."He hurried downstairs and found the public toilet on the ground floor with a squat pool, and quickly solved the physiological problem.

Just came out of the toilet, Hou Canghai unexpectedly saw Yang Zhongfang standing at the door.Yang Zhongfang wears an early 90s dress, the style is old.The hair is short haircut and is stuck with a black clip.Its dress and temperament are out of step with the hotel, so that people can tell at a glance that this is not a guest.

“Aunt Yang, why are you here?”He looked around and saw no bear.

Yang Zhongfang had never used the elevator, afraid of being ugly, and had been wandering in the lobby.When she saw Hou Canghai, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I came to you."

Hou Canghai said, “Aunt Yang, let’s go upstairs.”

Yang Zhongfang shook his head and said, “My sister gave you a phone number, I called, you didn’t answer.”The second sister did not obey, quit her job, how did she get it after?You can no longer resign.Two people must have a fixed salary, otherwise they will not be able to eat it."Speaking of which, she began to shed tears.

Hou Canghai just came out of the bathroom, and he happened to have a paper towel in his hand and handed it over.

Yang Zhongfang wiped his tears with a paper towel and said, “You have to promise me not to resign, otherwise I will go to the second sister.”You shall be again parents, and you shall be considerate of the old."

Hou Canghai could not bear the elders to cry in front of him, was silent for a while, and said, “Aunt Yang, I will definitely take care of my second sister.”I will not resign until my second sister's business is done."

"You promised me not to resign."

“I promise.”

"Don't tell my second sister that we've been here, let her be at ease in doing business."Don't be greedy for business, do a little business first, the cost is less, and you can't lose much.She has a pain, you have to worry about it.If you don’t want to call your family, you can call your sister.Don't say I've been here, lest my second sister get angry.The second sister is in a hurry, the head of anger will talk, so that the small sex, you have to bear more...” Yang Zhongfang gave some details of life, which left the hotel.

Yang Zhongfang walked a hundred meters along the front street of the hotel, and met Xiong Hengyuan at the corner of the street.Xiong Hengyuan sat on the stone ladder on the street, saw Yang Zhongfang coming, stood up, followed her, hands constantly patted the ass on the ass, rickety waist, silently walking.

When he returned to the room, he had a smile on his face.

Xiaomei laughed, “I didn’t know you had a hysteria before.”Just now I went to the bathroom to carefully check, the hotel prepared a paper toilet seat, you are really a soil bun.And the star hotel management is strict, every day to do hygiene, but also disinfection.

Hou Canghai saw the paper toilet pad in the bathroom and smiled, “I knew this thing, I don’t have to go downstairs.”Speaking of this, he remembered Yang Zhongfang, who was out of step with the hotel environment downstairs, and gave birth to a side-strewn heart.There is sadness in the smile.But he did not persuade his girlfriend at this moment, because his girlfriend has been happy since she came out of the house, but his heart is full of anxiety, worry and confusion.

In order to make her happy, Hou Canghai bulged the chest muscles in the mirror and said, “What is the saddest thing in life?”

Bear: “What is it?Don't sell it, say it quickly."

“The saddest thing is that the husband’s pectoral muscles are more developed than the wife’s.”

“Well, you dare to ironize me.And it’s not realistic at all, we’re going to be more than one.In the college dormitory, I was in the second cup, only slightly smaller than Chen Hua."

“That’s the second, isn’t it?”

"Well, in the third place, Li Mora's little D cup.This ranking is certainly accurate.”

The two men were in the room for a while, deliberately putting the immediate difficulties behind.

"Don't worry, we'll eat."The sea was so hungry that he screamed and made a protest.

Xiong Xiaomei looked into the mirror and said, "I don't want to eat, there are palm prints on my face."Hou Canghai said, "The quality of the people in the hotel is high, who will stare at our face, and if you go to a small restaurant outside, you may be stared at."This sentence persuaded Xiaomei Xiong to agree to eat a buffet at the hotel's morning restaurant.When eating a buffet, Xiong Xiaomei looked at the cake that could not be named and quietly said: "I am a secular person, and life in the hotel is the life I want."We want to make money, or we'll have to be stuck with money all our lives."

Leaving the hotel, on the way to the station, Xiong Xiaomei found a facade of about 20 square meters to be subleased, located on the main street with relatively large traffic, and the location is good.She stopped and called as a buyer to understand the situation.

A lazy voice sounded, “Which one?Find someone?”

Xiong Xiaomei said, “I want to rent the facade, I don’t know how to transfer your facade?”

“Transfer fee of $40,000.”

Bear Xiaomei was startled and said, “So expensive?”

The lazy voice shone sharply and said, "You don't see, I'm good in the front, business is good, if there is no hurry to go, I will not rent."

Bear said, “Couldn’t it be less?”

“Are you sincere about renting?”

“Look at your price.”

Xiong Xiaomei talked with the sub-tenant on the phone for half a day, and the sub-tenant only promised to spend three thousand yuan less.Put down the phone, she looked heavy, said: "How can the sublease fee so high?"We only have more than eight thousand dollars, plus your money, a total of more than ten thousand."

Hou Canghai saw that his girlfriend's face was not right, comforted: "This is the price of Qinyang subleasing facade, Jiangzhou what price is not yet known."After going to Jiangzhou, don't scare yourself.Besides, that’s certainly not enough money to open a store, and we’ll have to raise money through other channels.”

"Jiangzhou and Qinyang City is a grade of the city, the price difference is not much."Xiong Xiaomei felt that the business had not yet started to encounter obstacles, and the mood was depressed, and the tenderness when she came out of the hotel was hit by the 37,000 yuan façade transfer fee.

While waiting for the bus to leave, the bear's face was even more gloomy.Since last night, both of them want to make the atmosphere a little more relaxed, but the things that fall in love with the family are like snakes, making it difficult for the two people to relax.Even more snowy is the façade transfer fee, "Twenty-seven" is another mountain, heavy pressure on the bear Xiaomei heart.

Hou Canghai remembered Yang Zhongfang's sad look and suggested: "Wait until the bus."Before getting in the car, you still call the home, even if you are scolded by your parents, there is nothing.

After a moment of hesitation, Xiong Xiaomei still took out his mobile phone and dialed the phone installed by his sister for her home.After three rang, the phone was connected, and the sound of Xiong Hengwu's coarse voice, "Who are you looking for?"

Xiong Xiaomei whispered, "Dad, I'm at the station, and I'll take the car to Jiangzhou in a moment."

He didn’t say anything, he didn’t say anything, he just said “um.”

"I followed Hou Canghai to Jiangzhou, and the Spring Festival came back."

“Hmm.”

"Dad, I'm hanging up."

“Hmm.”

"You and your mother are at home."

“Hmm.”

After hanging up the phone, Yang Zhongfang asked eagerly, "What did the second sister say?"

Xiong Hengwu said sullenly: "She went with Hou Canghai to Jiangzhou, at the bus station."

Yang Zhongfang wiped his eyes and counted down: "You are also a person who is more than 50 years old, how can you still be as impulsive as a young person, can Hou Canghai fight, and now the second sister is running away."

Xiong Hengwu pulled the big hand joints straight and said, “They will come back for the Spring Festival.”You put the clothes that the second sister wants to wear and put it in the box, and when the bear Xiaoqin goes on a business trip to Jiangzhou, you will bring her over.Make more sausage bacon during the Spring Festival and let them take it back.The second sister has no job, and there are more places to spend money, save a little.

"You old man, the two sisters in your heart, refuse to say it, and you have to hit people, and even more abominable is to beat your son-in-law."

"My second sister is coming back for the Spring Festival."

I heard that her daughter was going home for the Spring Festival, Yang Zhongfang felt better in her heart, and began to worry about her daughter's future and fate, "The second sister is learning foreign languages, there are not many foreign-funded enterprises in Jiangzhou, what kind of work she can find."

Xiong Hengwu sighed and said, "Old woman, children and grandchildren have their own children's grandchildren, we should not worry too much."As he spoke, he looked in the direction of the station through the window, and in the distance the passenger station seemed to have the roar of the engine of the car.

Qinyang Bus Station, the bus to Jiangzhou finally started.Bear Xiaomei's eyes poured out a bunch of tears, down the white skin, dripped into the clothes, and gradually expanded into a piece.

After the bus left Qinyang City, it came to the suburbs and came to the pure countryside.There are fewer and fewer houses, and the sight of the fields is the winter field scenery, there is not much greenness in the field, and there are still middle-aged and elderly farmers in the field to renovate the winter water field.After New Year's Day, they slowly stopped their work in their hands, lived a Spring Festival at ease, walked away from relatives, played small cards, and drank some wine.This is the most comfortable time of the year, until the big year, after the spring breeze, the villagers will start production.

The bus left the fertile small alluvial plain, gasping for air to climb the Bayue Mountain, and slowly climbed on the Panshan Highway.Bear Xiaomei looked at the cliffs and nervously grasped the sea.The bus finally over the Bayue Mountain in the bumps, driving on the relatively flat road, the passengers are relaxed, the car gradually more speech.

The closer to Jiangyang City, the more nervous Xiong Xiaomei's look.She can quarrel with her parents, to Jiangzhou, her identity from the daughter into the daughter-in-law, can no longer be capricious, "your parents will resign what attitude will be."They’re going to blame me for being self-righteous, aren’t they?”

Hou Canghai felt his girlfriend's nervousness, held her hand, and comforted: "Don't worry, my parents will understand us."Our lives must be our own choices, and the opinions of our parents are referenced.”

Xiong Xiaomei became very sensitive at this time, saying, "You mean your parents still blame me, but we don't pay attention."

Hou Canghai said: "I don't want to tell lies, my parents are also growing up in the era of planned economy, decades of cultivation, and definitely valued a formal job."But there will be no fierce conflict in our family, at best, sulking.”

"It's also angry that we can't go home first, start the business and go home."The bear leaned over the shoulder of the sea.

Hou Canghai said, “If it’s only a few days, it doesn’t matter.”In this case, avoidance is not a long-term solution.”

Xiong Xiaomei shook her boyfriend's arm and said, "Good husband, avoid it for a while, let me breathe."She moved, found another reason, said: "Your face is still swollen, there are fingerprints, I also have a red and swollen face, this way by the parents will make the two adults separated."

The last reason is very strong, Hou Canghai said: "Then do not go home for a while, after ten and a half days, only to go home."

With the buffer time, Xiong Xiaomei happily said in Hou Canghai's ear: "Long live her husband, he is the most emlyzed person under the world."She said, "Today is Saturday, tomorrow you have a day off, and we will find our face in Jiangzhou at this time."

Hou Canghai said, “You only resigned, you don’t have to work immediately, take a good rest for two days.”Now the task is back to the Black River, although the Black River is on the outskirts of the city, but also has food and beauty, or original ecology, absolutely overbearing.

"I am now an unemployed young man, no money, where to enjoy food and beauty, take advantage of the weekend, we are serious about looking for the facade in Jiangzhou."Xiong Xiaomei touched his chest and said, "You now have a salary, do not understand my inner anxiety, I opened the store earlier, I feel practical in my heart."

What the bear said is a real feeling.When she was teaching at school, she often dreamed of white-collar life.After she really quit her job, she lost her sense of security, almost instantly understood what is waterless, and opening a clothing store became its lifesaver.

"Okay, look for the door."He could understand the mood of the bear.Deep inside he had another emotion, vague excitement about his girlfriend’s business.Although he worked a short time in the organ and was highly trusted by Yang Ding and the secretary, he still found that he was not the best place to work in the organ.Especially compared with Chen Wenjun and Chen Hua, he is not a truly qualified organ person.

Thinking of Chen Wenjun and Chen Hua, Chen Wenjun's phone call came.He was surprised to learn that Xiong Xiaomei resigned, and he felt that he could not understand.

Out of the station, Hou Canghai and Xiong Xiaomei with simple luggage, looking for the facade used to open a clothing store in Jiangzhou City.I didn't think of doing business before, I could see the front of rent or sublease everywhere.But when you really look for the facade, the rental or sublet façade began to hide the cat, walking along the station for ten minutes, and did not see a rental or sublease sign.

Tired, the two stood on the street drinking water.Drinking mineral water in winter is not comfortable, and the two are thirsty, so they can't care about the cold.

Xiong Xiaomei said, “Fortunately you have a job, otherwise I’m more panicked.”Don't resign for a while."

Hou Canghai remembered Yang Zhongfang's exhortation and said, "People are in the rivers and lakes, is he really invincible?"
