My name is Zhang Erhei, and I and my wife A Hong opened a small restaurant "Juyuanyuan" in the old city, specializing in all kinds of home-cooked food. The two of us are the same partner, she is shrewd and capable, and she has a good temper, so I will go straight and be a little anxious, but fortunately she can tolerate me.
Five years ago, we found a courtyard house with a cheap rent in the old city to open a store, only 3,000 yuan per month, which is really a conscience price!The owner of the courtyard is surnamed Liu, known as Liu Sishun, who is seventy years old, but he is full of spirit and agility. He makes a living by renting a house, and he has dozens of properties in his hands, and he has accumulated a little. Ah Hong and I gave him rent on time every month, and it was the same for three years.
A few days ago, Liu Sishun came to say that he wanted to raise our rent, and I was busy doing business, so I didn't look back and said, "You go slowly, you won't send the door!."I didn't know that he squatted down directly in front of me, and a pair of cat eyes looked me up and down: "Boss Zhang, let's not do this!."I don't see that your business is booming, and you want to increase the rent subsidy to subsidize the pension!I was furious, shook my hand and left: "Raise your grandmother's old age!."Three thousand yuan is not too much!Liu Sishun immediately hugged my thighs and said, "Boss Zhang, let's not be so ruthless!."It's going to rise by 3,000 yuan, is it possible that my pension will live on these 3,000 yuan!”
While cleaning up the leftovers on the ground, Ah Hong softly persuaded me: "Husband, count us unlucky to meet such an unreasonable landlord." Let's find a new place as soon as possible, we can't live here anymore. Only then did I calm down and snort heavily, "Gotcha!."If he wants to increase the rent, we won't rent it, and start again in a new place!With that, I shook my hand and went back to the kitchen.
Ah Hong cleaned up the ground, then walked to the door, and said to Liu Sishun steadily: "Boss Liu, don't hide it, our business is really good, but it has been accumulated by ourselves." We can't afford to raise your rent so much in one go. We're really sorry to cause you trouble, so let's go our separate ways and go our separate ways. ”
Ah Hong took his hand away steadily: "Boss Liu, don't embarrass us." Our fate is not good, so we can only find another way. The house is yours, you can go up if you want, you just have to be happy. ”
Liu Sishun saw that we were determined to leave, panicked, and resorted to the last move: "Then let's do it, I will only increase your 1,000 yuan, 3,000 to 4,000, I promise not to rise for a hundred years in the future, okay?"”
I didn't bother to pay attention to it, and yelled at him: "Liu Sishun, don't get in the way at the door of our restaurant!."If you want to go up, don't bother us!We promise to move out within a month, bye-bye!With that, he slammed the door and shut him out.
A month later, we spent tens of thousands of yuan to repackage a storefront at the other end of the old city, named it "Jufengyuan", and reopened. I happily said to Ah Hong: "Niu'er, let's finally get rid of that old monkey spirit Liu Sishun!."Let's see if he dares to torture us!I laughed as I spoke, as if I had been relieved of a thousand pounds of burden.
Who knows, as soon as we left, Liu Sishun regretted dying. The old house, which used to be like a city, is now empty. **And 3,000 yuan of stable income!Liu Sishun couldn't wait to slap himself twice. He asked us everywhere about our whereabouts, trying to trick us back.
Our new restaurant started out as mediocre and didn't have the familiar customers of the old restaurant. Fortunately, we gained popularity, and after a few months, the reputation spread, and business gradually improved. Ah Hong and I couldn't keep our mouths together.
A few days later, the three guys came again, with their friends, and they discussed how many people shared the house, and they had to do it after dividing it. Liu Sishun listened on the sidelines, thinking that the 777 operation was unlucky and became lucky!With these silly boys alone, he can earn 50,000 yuan a month on rent!Thinking of this, Liu Sishun almost wanted to go to the sky. I didn't expect him to be happy too early!
My business with Ah Hong is getting better day by day, we have adapted to the new environment, and two old customers have come over. We renovated the kitchen and foyer and hired a few small waiters. I smiled and said to Ah Hong: "Daughter-in-law, eat a trench and grow a wisdom!."Who is not on their own. Liu Sishun's appearance is simply self-inflicted!”
Ah Hong nodded, and said while sorting out the accounts: "Husband, we have earned our own hard work, isn't it good to spend it openly, and still expect others to support the elderly?"This Liu Sishun is really insatiable!I said indignantly: "When their B&B goes bankrupt, I must laugh at him and kill him!."”
After a few months, our business was more prosperous than before, and the name gradually spread. And Liu Sishun's house is still deserted. One day, I rushed back to the old city and went straight to Liu Sishun to settle the account. As soon as I walked to the door of the old house, I saw a yellow-skinned old man sitting on the steps smoking a cigarette with a sad face. I took a closer look, how could it be Liu Sishun?He's so haggard like this!
I shook my head when I heard this, thinking to myself why this old money addict didn't change his life, and wanted to take advantage of me!I sneered: "Boss Liu, my good life is still long, so I won't repeat the mistakes of the past!."Keep tossing, it's best to toss yourself to death, goodbye!”
I kicked him away: "Don't do this!".I'm doing well, so it's not uncommon for you to have a house!Regret your own green intestines, go away!He walked away without looking back. I guess he's going to be slaughtered by those stinky boys!I went back to the restaurant and told Ah Hong about Liu Sishun's embarrassment with a smile. Ah Hong laughed when she heard this, then shook her head and said, "This Liu Sishun is really inexplicable, obviously he died by himself, why did he still rely on us?"”
I waved my arms excitedly: "I'll just say, this kind of person will never learn a lesson!".They will only be endlessly greedy until they are beaten to the point by life!It's self-inflicted. ”
Ah Hong nodded: "Well, that's it!."But let's not get too carried away, it's better to be down-to-earth and work hard to run a business. ”
So we threw ourselves into the restaurant. I am in charge of grocery shopping and cooking, and Ah Hong is mainly in charge of the front office and accounts. We have a clear division of labor, tacit cooperation, and business is booming. Soon, we opened two more branches on the edge of the old town, and we were small.
And Liu Sishun's life is not easy. The business of the B&B has lost enough, and the three young men have lost hundreds of thousands of dollars and decided to go bankrupt and run away. Liu Sishun was in a hurry, and he could only sit in the yard every day to count the money, nostalgic for the prosperous scene in the past.
After about a year, Ah Hong suddenly said to me: "Husband, why don't we go and see Liu Sishun?"It's time to give people a chance to mend their ways, right?”
I was surprised and said, "This doesn't look like your style, is it?"There is no cure for this man. ”
I just think that he has been miserable enough, if we have the ability, we might as well help him, people must learn to be tolerant, right?Ah Hong said gently.
Although I was still very angry, I was also touched by my wife. "Okay, so I can see how bad he has been this year!”
So we came to the old house in the old town. This time we easily found Liu Sishun, who was still sitting on the steps, but obviously thinner, and most of his hair was white.
Boss Liu, look at you like this!I said half-sympathetic, half-sarcastic.
Liu Sishun looked up and saw that it was us, so excited that he couldn't speak.
Ah Hong asked him gently, "Boss Liu, how have you been this year?"Do you regret dying?”
When I heard this, I had mixed feelings in my heart, and I finally realized the meaning of the word tolerance. We can't hold a grudge against someone forever, otherwise we can't attain peace of mind.
Boss Liu, although you have done something wrong, you have had enough. We're here to help you turn over and make plans again. I say sincerely.
I nodded and said, "Boss Liu, don't mention the past." If a person is not a sage, who can be without fault?Let's help each other get through this. ”
Ah Hong also gently comforted him: "You will still grow in the future, so you can do it yourself." We can provide you with living expenses, so you can retire quietly. ”
Liu Sishun waved his hand again and again: "I can't ask for this!."It's all my own sin, and I deserve it!”
I patted his head and said, "You're an old fool!."Let's help others, and your health is the greatest reward for us. Don't shirk the money. ”
Liu Sishun listened, and tears welled up again.
So, we began to sponsor Liu Sishun to spend his old age. My restaurant business with Ah Hong is booming, and both stores have become landmarks in the old town. We are also considering whether to re-contract Liu Sishun's old house and convert it into a restaurant.
Husband, that's a good idea!It just so happens that the old house is in the old town, and there are several universities around, so it is perfect to open a restaurant!"Ah Hong is very supportive of my idea.
Good!Then we will redecorate the old house and build a separate courtyard for Liu Sishun, and the elderly will live in it. I said excitedly.
Husband, husband, we succeeded!Ah Hong said excitedly. I hugged her excitedly and circled: "yes!".It's all your idea!”
Liu Sishun lives in the small courtyard in the middle, although he can't run the business himself, but he sees the crowded dining area through the window, and he is also excited: "Hahaha!."It's really the happiest day for me Liu Sishun to grow up!God has finally taken care of me!”
Since then, our catering business has grown from strength to strength, and we have opened more than a dozen branches throughout the city. Liu Sishun is also very content, planting flowers in his small courtyard every day, and living a carefree life in his old age.
