Chapter 74 Best Partner (Part [-])
Xiangjiang Wanzai, Chen Kee Tea Restaurant.

The hustle and bustle was flying high.The interior of the tea restaurant is being redecorated. As the owner, Chen Fugui is like a marmot, with a towel wrapped around his head, and he is sticking bricks on the wall covered in dust.Below him, Chen Xiaotang, who had just returned from filming, also had a towel wrapped around his head, and was mixing cement all over his body in dust.

Really tired, Chen Xiaotang wiped the sweat on his forehead with the back of his hand, took a breath and said to Chen Fugui, "Dad, why are you bothering? You can just hire workers to do these decoration jobs."

Chen Fugui turned his head and said, "It doesn't cost money to invite them to come? We only have a little money, and the new store hasn't opened yet, so we need expenses in the future. It's better to do it yourself!"

"But have you studied decoration before?" Chen Xiaotang couldn't help asking.

"What's the matter? When you were young, you didn't have any money to buy milk powder, so I secretly went to the decoration team to do illegal work, and learned a lot of decoration crafts, such as the wall tiles and floor tiles. Chen Fugui proudly said, "Don't look at these rough jobs that look simple, if you are asked to do them, you will definitely not be able to do them well! First of all, you must choose a good floor tile, second, mix the cement evenly, and finally stick it on the back. Moderate---"

While talking, Chen Fugui gesticulated, teaching Chen Xiaotang how to stick bricks on the wall.It may be that the range of motion was too large. Suddenly, he let out an "oops" and put his hands on his waist, seeming to be in pain.

Chen Xiaotang hurriedly put down the work in hand, went to support him and said, "What's wrong with you, Dad, don't scare me!"

"It's nothing... I'm flabbergasted... Help me over there and sit down!" Chen Fugui pointed to the chair next to him.

Chen Xiaotang carefully helped him over, Chen Fugui thumped his waist and said: "Now I'm old and useless, I can't imagine that my waist will flicker after such a short time, I think back then, when I was working in the decoration team, It won’t be tiring to dry for eight hours at a stretch!”

"How is it possible, you are not a body made of iron, how can you not be tired?"

There was a smile on the corner of Chen Fugui's mouth, "I told you, maybe you don't believe me. When I first entered, I was very tired. Every day I worked so hard that my back hurt and my body was limp. I almost wanted to give up my job... But when I got home, I saw You look pink, open your mouth and cry loudly, and you look pitiful without milk powder, I felt sad for a while, and then my whole body seemed to be charged, full of energy!"

Listening to Chen Fugui's recounting of the past, a scene seemed to emerge in front of Chen Xiaotang's eyes: a man returning home exhausted, stroking his son's chubby face with his big rough hands, forgetting all the tiredness and hard work Rear…….

Feeling sad, Chen Xiaotang took off the towel on his head, helped Chen Fugui wipe the sweat on his forehead, and said, "Now that I've grown up, it's my turn to raise you, so you just sit here and don't move, these jobs, let me I'll do it!" After saying this, Chen Xiaotang walked over, took over the work from Chen Fugui just now, and began to paste the wall tiles carefully.

Just like what Chen Fugui said just now, these rough jobs look simple, but they are very difficult to do, especially if the wall tiles are not firmly adhered and easy to slip, they have to be removed and re-stick.

In addition, due to squatting on the ground for a long time, after only ten minutes of working, Chen Xiaotang already felt that his waist was sore.

I am a young man, so I can imagine how hard my father Chen Fugui was before, he is almost fifty after all!
The most hard-working people in this world are parents!

Parents have never owed their children anything. When you were born, first the mother suffered in the delivery room, and then the father worked hard in life!

Whiten their hair, bent their waists, consumed their youth, evaporated their lives!

They owe us nothing!
We owe them our lives!

Seeing that his son was obedient and working very hard to install the floor tiles instead of himself, Chen Fugui rubbed his waist while pointing out Chen Xiaotang what was right and what was wrong.Although he loves his son dearly, he feels that a man should work harder. His son is not a pampered one, and he has to endure hardships to become a superior person.

The father and son were working hard, but Li Shuzhen, as a mother, felt sorry for her son's health, so she couldn't help but mutter that Chen Fugui didn't know how to be considerate when delivering tea.In this regard, Chen Fugui changed his previous attitude of being strict with his wives and said, "What do you know, an old woman?"

Then Li Shuzhen didn't dare to talk back, which made Chen Xiaotang very strange, when did Mom fear Dad?So when his mother handed him tea, he asked why. Li Shuzhen said, don't you think your father is the most dignified and masculine when he is working? !
Chen Xiaotang, stunned!

Looking at his father who scratched his crotch from time to time, Chen Xiaotang had a hard time connecting the word "majesty" with him.

Fortunately, someone shouted, "A Tang!" at this moment, interrupting his reverie.

At the door, Zhou Xingchi, Liang Chaowei and Liu Dehua walked in together.

As soon as Zhou Xingchi saw him, he yelled: "Look, Ah Tang, I brought the other two volunteers too, how about it, let's make friends!"

Chen Xiaotang laughed: "It's really you, Huazai, Weizai, how did you get tricked by him?"

Liu Dehua shrugged his shoulders and said, "This guy said that you want to treat us to drink milk tea, and only when you come will you know that you are going to be a coolie!"

"Yeah, Ah Xing has always been a ghost, I have been deceived by him countless times!" Liang Chaowei sighed helplessly.

Chen Xiaotang said: "I didn't want to trouble you, but since you're here, let's work hard!"

"Needless to say, we are good brothers, even the best partners! I can't watch you suffer alone!" Liu Dehua took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "Tell me, what do you want us to do? "

Chen Xiaotang said: "You are responsible for soaking the tiles and handing them to me, Wei Zi, you can run errands and buy some sandpaper first, I will use it later!"

"What about me, what am I doing?" Zhou Xingchi asked anxiously.

"You? Just help me live cement!"

"Ah?~This is technical work!"

"Of course, those who can do more work, you are the most capable among us!" Chen Xiaotang joked.

Seeing that Liu Dehua, Liang Chaowei and Zhou Xingchi were about to start working, Chen Fugui was in a hurry, and said: "How can this be done?! You are all stars, how can you do these rough jobs? No, absolutely not!" Just got up from the chair to stop.

But Liu Dehua was one step ahead of him, and then pushed him on the chair, and said: "Uncle Gui, we are friends of Ah Tang, good friends should help each other, not to mention these menial tasks, even if it is hard and tiring, we I am also willing! So don't worry about it when you are old, sit down and rest first!"

"Yeah, Uncle Gui, if you don't let us help, you just look down on us, then we'll be upset!" Zhou Xingchi said with a playful smile.

Chen Fugui still opened his mouth, but his wife Li Shuzhen said: "Okay, old man, it's a good intention for the children to help, so don't worry about it anymore! Listen to them, sit down and rest! Things here are up to you." Let Ah Tang and the others deal with it!"

Chen Fugui said in embarrassment: "But the problem is---I'm not used to sitting around like this and not working?!"

"If that's the case, you can go upstairs with me to choose dishes. Once the restaurant opens, I don't know how tiring it is!" Li Shuzhen said, helped Chen Fugui up, and said to Liu Dehua and the others: "Thank you for your hard work. Wait for the restaurant to open." Sister-in-law Zhen, let me treat you to a big meal!"

"Thank you sister-in-law Zhen! Go slowly!" Liu Dehua and the others watched as sister-in-law Zhen helped the uncle upstairs, and then turned around and said to Chen Xiaotang: "Remember, Ah Tang, you owe us a few favors!"

Chen Xiaotang smiled and made an "OK" gesture with his hand.

When I was writing this article, I accidentally thought of my father, who worked hard all his life without complaint or regret. Maybe all parents in the world are like this, but we will only understand their goodness when we are older.
