The story of a cook

Chapter 107
People need to live well at any time, and life is beautiful.

Only by living can people continue to live, and life will be full of meaning because of being alive.

The second day of junior high school was busy all day, and it was not all over until nine o'clock in the evening.It was almost ten o'clock after packing up. Huang Ping left at 09:30 with the children. Sister Zhang, Yanhua and I made two simple dishes and dumplings, and the three of us started eating.

Sister Zhang said: "Tomorrow will be fine, the bar and Xiao Gao are back, and Wang Xiaodong is also back."

I said: "I hope, there will be ten tables tomorrow."

Yanhua said: "It's easy to work when there are so many people, I'm exhausted today, relying on the fact that the guests don't come together, if they come together, I'm really too busy."

I said: "Yes, if we come together, I will not be too busy."

I took a sip of wine, Yanhua said, "I'll have some too."

I said: "Then you didn't say it earlier, this is almost finished."

Yanhua said: "I was hungry just now, now my stomach is full, drink some."

Sister Zhang said: "Drink some, drink to relieve fatigue, but don't drink too much, don't go back and talk nonsense like yesterday."

I asked, "Sister, what did she say when she went back yesterday?"

Just as the elder sister was about to say something, Yanhua immediately stopped her, "Don't say that, elder sister, it's embarrassing."

The eldest sister smiled at me and said, "She won't let me talk about it."

I said, "Then don't talk about it, and save her embarrassment."

Yanhua got up to get the wine glass, and Ms. Zhang said to me in a low voice, "I don't know what you two were drinking yesterday. She started acting like a human being when she got back, saying that she would be happy if she met you sooner, and she would be with you no matter what." , you know, she sleeps—”

At this time, Yanhua came over with a wine glass and said to Sister Zhang, "Elder Sister—"

Sister Zhang covered her mouth and said, "I didn't say anything."

Yanhua sat down, poured a glass of wine, and said, "It's okay, let's talk, anyway, I drank, it's all nonsense, I don't even remember."

Sister Zhang said: "I forgot too, just remember some main plots."

Yanhua said, "Hmph, big sister, if you dare to say that I'm still torturing you today, I'll put heavy makeup on you tomorrow."

Sister Zhang said, "I didn't say that."

I said, "Yanhua, you don't need to talk about Eldest Sister, even if Eldest Sister doesn't say it today, she will involuntarily say it in two days, that's her specialty."

Yanhua said: "Impossible, big sister is not like that, not big sister."

Sister Zhang said: "That depends on my mood, and also, it depends on how well you pretended for me."

I drank with Yanhua, and after eating, sister Zhang told us that she was a little tired and went back first.When I was leaving, I told Yanhua not to drink too much, but Yanhua said it was fine, she didn't drink too much, and she would go back after a while.

After Sister Zhang left, Yanhua asked me, "What did Eldest Sister tell you just now?"

I said, "I didn't say anything, didn't she come back just as she was about to say you?"

Yanhua couldn't believe it, and said, "I must have told you something, did you mean that I went back yesterday and talked nonsense?"

I said, "I didn't say anything, just said that you went back to be a human being yesterday, and you didn't let her sleep if you didn't sleep."

"Hehe," Yanhua said, "I was a bit of a man when I went back yesterday."

I said, "You didn't drink too much yesterday, weren't you quite sober when I sent you upstairs?"

She said, "Yes, I didn't drink much."

I said, "Then who are you?"

"Hehe" she laughed: "If you're happy, be a human being when you're happy."

I said, "Then you drink less today, don't go back and make trouble with your eldest sister like yesterday."

She said, "Don't make trouble with Eldest Sister today, but make trouble with you today."

I said: "It's okay to make trouble with me, I don't want to make trouble."

After drinking with Yanhua, her face soon began to turn red. At this time, it is most appropriate to describe her face as delicate and charming.To tell the truth, she was really pretty and charming.

Yanhua asked: "Is there no reason for you to like someone?"

I said: "Like is like, what reason is needed, like is the reason."

She said, "I think so too. Do you really like Lin Yan?"

I said, "Yes, I really like it, otherwise I wouldn't go to her house."

She said: "Blessed is Lin Yan, to find someone like you."

I said: "I don't know what's going on now. The main reason is that her mother doesn't agree. If she listens to her mother, she will be finished, and I will be broken."

She said: "It should be fine, Lin Yan is not that kind of person, it's great for you two to be together."

I said, "I wish—"

She took a sip of the wine, then glanced at me and said, "Actually——I really hope that Lin Yan will listen to her mother and stop getting along with you."

I looked at her, knew what she meant, and said, "Well, this is fate. If it is true, I will admit it. We are also fate, but I can't do it if I am asked to give up Lin Yan, unless it is Lin Yan. Tell me not to get along with me, to marry someone else, maybe I will give up."

After lighting a cigarette, I went on to say, "You're fine, you're really fine, if I'm not with Lin Yan because of you, and I'm with you, if I were that kind of person, you probably wouldn't want me."

She looked at me and didn't speak.

I said, "I think you should find someone suitable, and don't always think about the past. In fact, you are just like my eldest sister and Huang Ping in my heart. I regard you as my friend."

Yanhua didn't speak for a long time, I handed her a cigarette, she lit it and smoked.

After a while, she said: "Actually, I really regret it. I regret going to Hanglubing. If I didn't go to Hangingbing and have been working in the restaurant here, maybe we can get along."

I said, "Aren't we fine now?"

She said: "It's pretty good, but this one is different from that one." She took a puff of cigarette and said, "I'm also quite conflicted. I know in my heart that I like you, I want to be with you, and I know that you have Lin Yan, if I just stay with you like this, it will be the same as last time—”

Speaking of which, she stared into my eyes and asked: "You tell the truth, you have to be the truth. Let me ask you, do you really care about a woman like me who has had sex with other men and has had an abortion?"

I said to her seriously: "If I like this woman, I absolutely don't care. What I want is this person, not her past."

She said, "I don't believe it, you guys all care."

I said: "If you don't believe me, I can't help it. I just want to find someone who can take care of the children, so that I don't have to worry about raising children. I have to take care of the confinement, I have to wash diapers, and I have to coax the children every day. If there is someone It’s ready-made, and I don’t need to say anything about it.”

Yanhua was amused by me, and said: "It's not that time yet, when the time comes you won't think so, it's better to be your own child."

That day, I didn't continue to chat about the relationship between my children and my daughter.

After drinking, I sent Yanhua back home, and when I went downstairs to the women's dormitory, I said, "Go up, I'm going back."

She said, "Yes." But she didn't move.

I turned around to leave, but she hugged me from behind and held me tightly. At that moment, I felt a little too much.

She didn't push her away, but stood like that, and I could feel that at that moment, she regarded me as a reliance.

After hugging for a while, she said, "Why are you torturing people so much?"

In the third day of junior high school, Wang Xiaodong from the kitchen and the cold dish chef came back, and Brother Gao from the bar counter in the front hall came back.

It's easier to work with more people, and it's obviously much easier than when I was in the second grade of junior high school.

At noon plus the pre-booked guests, there were a total of ten tables, and it was busy until almost two o'clock.

Wang Xiaodong asked me: "Brother Tan, have you been so busy these two days?"

I said, "No, there were no customers on the first day of junior high school. It has only been busy since yesterday, and there were ten tables yesterday."

He said: "That's enough for you to be busy. You have to prepare cold dishes and hot dishes by yourself."

I said, "It's okay, it's all booked in advance, it's easy to arrange, and I will also have the help of my eldest sister and Aunt Wang."

"That's enough for you," he said.

I asked him, "When are you going to get married this year?"

He said: "It is expected to be in the second half of the year, no matter how you say it will be October [-]st National Day."

I said, "That's the right time, it's time to get married."

He said, "Brother Tan, how are you? It's time to get married this year."

I said: "Not yet, the horoscope has not been written yet, let's talk about it."

Thinking that everyone is getting married this year, and my partner has not been finalized yet, I can't help but feel a little headache.

Around three o'clock in the afternoon, I was sitting in the pastry room making dumplings with Aunt Wang, when Wang Xiaodong called out, "Brother Tan, look who's here—"

When I came out of the pastry room, I saw Lin Yan standing at the door of the kitchen, looking at me with a smile.

At that moment, I felt very happy.

I walked up to Lin Yan and said excitedly, "Here we are."

She said: "Yeah." Then she patted me with her hand and said mischievously, "It's Chinese New Year, and you didn't give me New Year's greetings, but Xiaodong even gave me New Year's greetings."

I smiled silly and said, "Really, happy Chinese New Year!"

"It's late, I'm angry," she said.

I said: "It's still too late, I'm just in the third grade of junior high school."

She just laughed.

When Sister Zhang heard that Lin Yan was coming, she hurried over and took Lin Yan's hand, and said, "Let's ignore Tan Zi, let's go and chat with Eldest Sister for a while."

Wang Xiaodong said: "Eldest sister, you are really serious. You dragged him away as soon as he came, and you didn't let Lin Yan make out with Brother Tan."

Sister Zhang said: "The two of them have plenty of time to be intimate, so let's get close to me first."

At this time, Lin Yan said in surprise: "Oh, big sister, you put on makeup, you look so good."

Sister Zhang just laughed, and dragged Lin Yan to chat in the pastry room.

To be honest, I was very happy that Lin Yan came, and it seemed that her mother agreed.As long as her mother agrees, it's done.

Wang Xiaodong said: "Brother Tan, there are not many tables tonight, you should go back and get ready, you have to go home with Lin Yan tomorrow."

I said, "I'm not busy, and I don't have any preparations. I'll go there in the evening when I'm done."

Wang Xiaodong said: "No need, you have been working on your own for several days, and my eldest sister and I are also busy here. You don't need you, you and Lin Yan, you two go back first."

It's okay if I think about it, there are only four tables in the evening, and the raw materials are all ready. It's okay, and he and the eldest sister are also busy.I went to talk to Huang Ping. Huang Ping was also very happy to hear that Lin Yan was here, and told me not to do it. It was important to pack up and go home.

When I came to the pastry room, Lin Yan was chatting with Sister Zhang and Aunt Wang.

Seeing me coming in, Aunt Wang said, "Xiao Tanzi, don't worry this time, Lin Yan is back."

I still have a little silly smile.

Sister Zhang said, "I just thought that Lin Yan would come back soon."

Lin Yan looked at me and asked, "Why are you here if you don't work?"

I said: "Come and see you, let's go, Huang Ping and I are done talking."

Wang Jian asked: "Let's go now, is there a train now?"

I said: "If you don't leave today, you will leave tomorrow. You just came back, and I don't need to do anything here. Let's go back and clean up, and we are still waiting for tomorrow to clean up."

Sister Zhang said to Lin Yan: "I won't chat with you anymore. You two have to go home tomorrow. Tan Zi has been busy for the past two days and has nothing to clean up. Go back and clean up."

Wang Jian stood up and said to Sister Zhang and Aunt Wang: "I won't chat with you anymore, we are leaving, and I will have a good chat with you when I come back in two days."

Sister Zhang said, "Let's go, Tan Zi is waiting in a hurry."

Lin Yan and I came to the hot food kitchen. Wang Xiaodong just cooked the dumplings and packed them. I took the dumplings and went back to the dormitory with Lin Yan.

The first thing he did when he returned to the dormitory was to hold Lin Yan tightly in his arms and kiss him fiercely.

After making out, I asked Lin Yan, "Why did your mother agree?"

Lin Yan said: "After you leave, don't you celebrate the New Year? I am not happy during the New Year, and I don't talk to my mother. When I was on the second day of junior high school, just yesterday, I sat there and cried. My mother saw that I was crying, so she said: go Come on, go ahead, don't care about you, just do what you want, and just regret not looking for me in the future."

I asked uncertainly: "Your mother agrees?"

She said: "I agree, if I don't agree, can I come?"

I still can't believe it's real because it happened so suddenly.Ask: "Then what does your mother ask for?"

She said: "My mother didn't ask for anything, she just said that it's good to be good, and wait two years before getting married."

I said, "Okay, the two of us must have a good relationship, and it's okay to get married two years later."

She looked at me and said, "Old Tan, you have to be nice to me, I offended my mother."

I took her hand and said, "Don't worry, I must treat you well."

She looked into my eyes and said seriously: "You must be nice to me."

Put your arms around me like a child.
