Just near dusk

Chapter 22

It is not a joke to say that opening a store is not a joke. Li Wenjia is quite serious about preparing the preliminary work. The storefront is a small shop he rented out earlier, and the interior decoration is ready-made. It can be opened with a different brand. It all depends on the pile of stones and wood that Li Wenjia has accumulated in the past few years. However, since his efficiency is too low and the output of finished products is too small, Mo Xuyou also bought some rice paper fans, and painted a few to fill the facade .

Because of Li Wenjia's insistence, the furniture used inside was all made by himself. The old man was exhausted. He was sawing wood in the yard under the sun in summer, and sweated profusely after a few puffs. Mo Xuyou was also implicated in applying tung oil and mixing paint on the side. Before the two of them had finished working for half a day, they had already agreed to stay in the room with the air conditioner and refused to go out.

"I'm talking about old man Li," Mo Xuyou said, looking at his tanned skin, "You want to open a small handicraft store, not a furniture store, why do you want to do it yourself? I think if you keep doing this , I am afraid that this store will not open until winter.

"

"I'm getting old. When I was young, let alone a few furniture, even a few houses can be built." Li Wenjia twisted his vest, and the sweat on it dripped all over the floor. , "But you are still young, why is your body so bad, you should do more work like you."

"It doesn't matter if I'm not in good health, but you can't. Forget it, let's contract out these things. We'll do it slowly when the weather gets cooler." Mo Xuyou persuaded.

"Oh, am I really old?" Li Wenjia sighed, "I can't even use much strength to saw wood."

"You are old and strong, old and strong. In this hot weather, who can use a small saw to do the activities? Lao Li, you are already amazing. With your quality, you will have to serve me when I grow old." Mo Xu You teased him and made him feel better again, only to see Li Wenjia swept away his downcast expression, and pretended to be angry and said:

"You have a good idea. I'll contact the furniture store later and throw all these things to them."

"That's right," Mo Xuyou continued, "I'm going to the kitchen to cook, remember to come and eat later."

"Okay." Li Wenjia agreed as he walked out, feeling extremely happy.

But this pleasure only lasted less than an hour, because when he came back to look at the vegetarian dishes on this table, his mood fell instantly.He pulled it a few times with chopsticks, and said without appetite: "I don't have a piece of meat, so you should put more oil anyway."

"Your blood pressure is so high now, how can you eat oily and meaty food? Besides, it's not like I didn't put meat in it. Well, this is not beef stewed with potatoes. The beef stewed is just a little bit rotten." Mo Xuyou pointed at the place with his chopsticks The fingernail-sized beef said.

"It's also called meat. The pigs I fed used to eat bigger meat than this," Li Wenjia said a little angrily.

"Pigs will be pulled out to be slaughtered when they are fattened, so raising people is different from raising pigs. Lao Li, you should treat yourself as a rabbit first, and treat this wild vegetable as the supreme delicacy. Eat happily Come on," Mo Xuyou forcefully comforted him.

"It's not that I treat myself as a rabbit, it's that you raise a tiger as a rabbit." Li Wenjia is actually not interested in this kind of healthy and nutritious meal every day, but he can't persuade Mo Xuyou to think about his own father. It is also high blood pressure, which is not only alive and kicking, people can't even satisfy their desire for tongue and tongue in this life, and the joy of living is reduced by most at once.

But he just muttered to himself, he didn't dare to bring up this kind of hedonism in front of Mo Xuyou. Li Wenjia picked up a large chopstick dish, tried hard to treat himself like a rabbit, and ate it with big mouthfuls. The surface was calm, I secretly wondered where to go for a while.

"Don't even think about going out to steal food for a while, I'll take you to the hospital for a physical examination later." Mo Xuyou explained his thoughts in one word.

"Hospital!" Li Wenjia opened his eyes wide and said in surprise, "I don't want to go to the hospital." He has always disliked the smell of disinfectant in the hospital, and always feels uncomfortable when he enters it, but Mo Xuyou dragged him when he was fine. Went to the hospital for various tests.

"I haven't had an examination for more than half a year," Mo Xuyou persuaded him, "I think you haven't taken the antihypertensive medicine on time recently, and you will show your true colors in front of the doctor soon."

"I don't want to go." Li Wenjia retorted weakly. It's true that he hasn't been bothered to take medicine all the time recently, and that's because he thinks he's fine. It's just that his blood pressure is high. Drink more cold drinks and he'll be fine.

"Okay, come back tonight and cook chicken soup for you. This is my biggest concession. If you don't go, I can only sleep in a separate bed. After all, I don't know if you need to rest." Mo Xuyou A very helpless look.

"Add a chicken leg." Li Wenjia was still defeated by him, and every time he confronted, he came back as a feather. He could only strive for the best interests for himself like a defeated country.

"Deal!" Mo Xuyou readily agreed, and by the way, gave Li Wenjia a chopstick of wild vegetables to let him eat more.

Li Wenjia ate and chewed, thinking how could he fall into the hands of this little fox in his life?

Fortunately, the results of going to the hospital are very satisfactory. Li Wenjia's indicators are all normal, and his blood pressure is controlled within the normal range. As long as he pays more attention to his diet, there will be no major problems.

The only fly in the ointment is that when Li Wenjia thought that he could have some meat at night, a bowl of chicken soup with strong Chinese herbal medicine and tasteless chicken legs that had been stewed was brought up. He had to finish the soup against his will, tearing his heart with tears in his bitter eyes, but he had to pretend to be happy to finish the bowl of soup. Afterwards, Li Wenjia felt that he should obediently eat the leaves and treat him with peace of mind. Under Five Fingers Mountain.

Half a month later, Li Wenjia's small shop opened. He is considered a relatively well-known figure in this small town. He is usually enthusiastic and loves to fight injustices. Everyone knows that he is a straightforward old man. In addition, he has many rental cars. In ancient times, a shop was regarded as an outsider, and a large group of people came to cheer him up as soon as he greeted him casually.

As soon as the plaque of the small shop was hung up, and the three big golden characters "Wood and Stone Pavilion" appeared on it, the sound of crackling firecrackers rang out. As the boss, Li Wenjia set up more than a dozen tables at the door, and all the visitors were customers. , Treat the folks and elders to a good meal.

This place is originally a place with good scenery. Although it is not well-known, there are also many tourists from other places. They looked at the bustling here and thought it was a rich family getting married. After taking two pictures with the camera, they found out that it was a new shop. opened.

"Great opening, business is booming!" Zhuo Yan rushed over to celebrate with two flower baskets.

When Li Wenjia saw her, he was as happy as seeing his own daughter. He pulled her over and said, "What are you doing buying such things, you little girl? You don't know me yet. It's just for fun. When the business can't work, I will also give this to you, so that you can toss about it.”

"Grandpa Ganqing treats me as a long-term worker," Zhuo Yan raised his eyebrows, and turned his head to see a person, "Uncle Mo is back, let me tell you, the one that opened today with lanterns and festoons looks like a..."

"What is it like? I dare not say anything." Li Wenjia said.

"It's like a wedding~" Zhuo Yan said something playful, then got up and hid on tiptoe.

"You girl, talk nonsense!" Li Wenjia blushed, not knowing whether he was angry or ashamed.

"She talks nonsense about her, why are you blushing?" Mo Xuyou added, but looking at the bustling outside, he unknowingly regarded it as a wedding, a wedding that could not be shown in front of the world.

"I heard that weddings can be held abroad. We must go when we have the opportunity." Li Wenjia understood the regret in Mo Xuyou's heart, and he stepped forward to gently hold his hand.

"That can't be done, you haven't proposed yet, maybe I won't agree to you yet." Mo Xuyou joked.

"You brat!" Li Wenjia shook his head and sighed happily.
