The story of a cook

Chapter 280

The snow is not heavy, but it has been falling for a long time. It started to fall in the middle of the night and has been falling until now.

This is the first snow in [-], just like what Dao Lang sang, it came so fast and so directly.

I like snow, snow can make people quiet, and you can calm down and feel the world.

All things have spirits, and all things have spirits, so there are all kinds of things in the world.

So respect God and love people.

Came to the small supermarket, bought two bottles of liquor and pig's feet, bought two packs of cigarettes, looked at the salt-baked peanuts, bought a catty and took it back to drink.

When I came back, my brother and the others had prepared the dishes and were waiting for me.

The elder brother's surname is Li, his name is Li Zhiyu, and he is 33 years old.The young man who knocked on my door was also surnamed Li, Li Jian, 23 years old.The fat man who was cooking in the kitchen was named Jiang Runping, 25 years old.There is also a woman named Zheng Yan.They were all soldiers, armed policemen in the aircraft factory, and stayed in the factory as workers after being demobilized. They have not left the workshop yet, and are studying in a technical school, where they are in the same technical school as Zhang Li’s younger sister.Zhang Li's younger sister pays tuition to study, but they study with wages, and the treatment is different.

After we got to know each other, we started drinking. Li Jian couldn't drink baijiu, so he drank beer with Zheng Yan, and Li Ge, Jiang Runping, and I drank baijiu.

Anyone in the army can drink, especially Jiang Runping, whose drinking capacity is about the same as mine.

Brother Li asked me: "Tan Zi, you have to find a job, is it easy to find a job as a cook?"

I said, "It's okay, it's easy to find."

Jiang Runping asked, "Brother Tan, how much money do you earn a month now?"

I said, "I can't earn much, only 2000 yuan."

"That's not much," he said, "Do you know how much we earn now, it's only over 400 yuan."

I said: "That's better than me. I'm a part-time job. If I say I'm laid off, I'll be laid off. I don't even have insurance. You are an iron rice bowl. You don't have to be laid off for a lifetime. You have five insurances and one housing fund. When you retire, you will have a pension. I Nothing."

I tell the difference between them.

Li Ge said: "Yes, seeing Tan Zi earning more, sometimes it is not as good as us. We are studying in a technical school now, and it will be fine when we get off the workshop. Once we get off the workshop, we will start to have working hours and have more money."

Brother Zheng Yan asked: "Old Li, do you think we can be assigned together when we get off the workshop?"

"No, how can there be such a good thing, and you will be assigned to a workshop, what do you think." Li Ge said.

"Then why not, just in case." Zheng Yan said.

"Don't be assigned to a workshop, I can't stand you, you can torture me to death every day."

Brother Li said bitterly and bitterly, it seems that they tortured Brother Li a lot before.

"Hey—Lao Li, we will ask you to be assigned to a workshop at that time. Aren't you a big brother? If you don't follow you, you won't be able to run away, and we will still torture you when the time comes." Li Jian said.

Brother Li said: "Don't, I'm afraid of you, go wherever you like, don't be with me, I can't stand you."

Jiang Runping said to Li Jian and Zheng Yan: "It doesn't matter if you are assigned to a workshop. It is a factory anyway. We will come here to report when we get off work. He still can't run away. He can eat and drink when he comes here. Why are we kicked out?"

After speaking, he put on a rascal expression, and looked at Li Jian and Zheng Yan as well, which meant that Jiang Runping was very right.

Li Jian said: "Yes, when the time comes, I will come here after get off work, and his sister-in-law will eat it after cooking and serve it on the table. She doesn't care whether she likes it or not. She will leave after eating. Even if she scolds me, she won't listen. His family, He He, took the lead and sold it."

Zheng Yan smiled and said: "Li Jian, you are cruel enough. I think this is a China Merchants Bank. Don't forget to call me when the time comes. Let's go to his house to steal children together."

Everyone just laughed, a group of comrades-in-arms.

Brother Li said to me: "Tanzi, look at it, it's not fixed. Our buddies are like this. We were together when we were soldiers, and we are still together now at work. These guys know how to bear me."

"Who are you? Are you our old squad leader?" Jiang Runping said as a matter of course.

Seeing their comrades-in-arms lively and undisturbed, I am very envious. It is a pity that I have never been a soldier in this life.

War friendship is a lifetime, unforgettable, sincere, and enviable.

I drank a lot of wine with them, and halfway through the drink, I heard someone knocking on the door of my house in the corridor. Maybe seeing that there was no one in my house, and hearing my voice, that person pushed the door of Brother Li's house.

It turned out to be Zhou Xiaomei.

Zhou Xiaomei saw me and said directly, "You are here."

I stood up and said, "Well, how did you come here?"

Zhou Xiaomei said, "Today is off, come and have a look."

Zhou Xiaomei stood inside and outside the door.

Brother Li asked me: "This is—"

"My niece," I said.

"Come in quickly, let's have some food together." Brother Li greeted warmly.

Zhou Xiaomei said with a smile: "No, you guys eat your food, I have nothing to do, just take a break today to see my uncle."

Zheng Yan said: "Come here, this is the same as your uncle's house, don't talk outside."

With that said, Zheng Yan stood up and walked to the door, pulling Zhou Xiaomei in directly.

I asked Zhou Xiaomei: "Is there something wrong?"

Zhou Xiaomei said, "It's okay, just come and have a look."

I said: "If you have nothing to do, let's eat together, so I can cook for you."

Zhou Xiaomei sat down next to Zheng Yan and drank with us.

Everyone drank very happily, especially after Zhou Xiaomei joined. The two bottles of wine I bought were quickly finished. Li Ge’s family had baijiu, so I opened another bottle and continued to drink. In the end, I was a bit tongue-tied when I gave Li Li a drink. It's over.

At the end, Jiang Runping told me that he would have a good drink with me one day, and he made up his promise as my friend.

Back at my house with Zhou Xiaomei, I asked Zhou Xiaomei: "You have a rest today, did Qiuping not have a rest?"

Zhou Xiaomei said: "She didn't. Their bar breaks are different from ours. They take breaks at the bar."

"How were you doing there? There were so many people that night, I didn't bother to ask you and Qiuping." I said.Zhou Xiaomei and Qiuping came over that night when they returned to the provincial capital for the wedding reception, but they didn't speak a few words to them because of the crowd.

She said: "It's good. I'm working as a foreman now and I've learned a lot."

I said: "It's good if you can learn something, and exercise yourself."

She said, "Yes, it's better here than Sita, and it's normal here."

I said, "That's good." Then I asked, "How is business?"

She said: "Business is good and it is full every day. We have six tables in total, and we have to book four or five days in advance. The guests who come here are quite famous, and some of them have seen it on TV, and there are celebrities."

I laughed and asked her, "Didn't you ask them for an autograph or something?"

She shook her head and said, "No, we have a rule that we are not allowed to ask for autographs with celebrities, and at the same time, we don't talk too much, just do a good job in the service."

I nodded and said, "Oh, yes."

She said: "Those people who went there have status, but they are all very low-key and easy-going, unlike those in the society who think they are great if they have money, why don't they, these people just look at them Like us ordinary people, we almost don’t pick any faults.”

I said, "It's all the same. The really rich keep a low profile, and wait for those who have a little money to brag. I don't know the heights of the sky and the earth."

She said: "Yes, the people who come to our place are very rich. It is normal for a meal to cost tens of thousands, and sometimes it is more than [-]."

I said with emotion: "If you have money, let's just listen to it. It's incomparable with others."

"We are incomparable with others." She said: "People live better than others. They live a day and we live a day. We can't live more than us if we have money. It's the same. Seeing them alive sometimes is not as happy as us. Woolen cloth."

"Having money doesn't necessarily make you happy, and not having money doesn't necessarily make you sad. It's just a way of living." I said.

After chatting with Zhou Xiaomei for a while, she said, "Uncle, I'm going to Zhang Li's. I went to her house before I came to your house, and then came out of her house to your house."

When I mentioned Zhang Li, I became more energetic and asked, "What is she doing at home?"

"I told you not to be angry, she scolded you at home."

I looked out the window and didn't speak for a long time.

It's normal for Zhang Li to scold me at home, so I have to ask her to vent my anger no matter what.

"She's lost weight, and she's lost her appearance—" Zhou Xiaomei said slowly, "I didn't expect her to have such deep feelings for you. I heard her talking about you before, and thought she was joking. She also knows that you have a wife—" Maybe it's because I can't get out of my hurdle—"

I was silent for a long time, and then said: "Maybe, just wait for a while, it's impossible for me and her to—"

"Your aunt is very good. She has suffered a lot with me for so many years. Your aunt is a good person——"

Zhou Xiaomei looked at me and said: "There is no way to say this. You also know that women admit death, and they will not change if they are sure. I think Sister Zhang has too much affection for you. You hold a very important position in her heart, so she will not change it." Just like me, I just liked Xia Cheng at that time, no one said it was useless, even though I see him through now, my heart is broken, and sometimes I still think, there is no way."

Yes, no way, really no way.

You can do whatever you want, just don't move your emotions, you can't afford to hurt them.

People can play with everything, just don't play with emotions, there will be retribution.

Everything in the world has a cause and an effect. It is normal for today's cause and tomorrow's effect.Cause and effect form a cycle of their own, and repeated retribution is unpleasant.

The Buddhists say that if a person has a form, he has his own form. The form is not the cause, and the form is the effect. Everything is not empty, and it is naturally involved in cause and effect.

How can people in the world have so much self-cleaning and self-love, if you are not careful, you will get a picture, so don't indulge in it.As the Taoist said, giving up is to gain pleasure in the invisible, and to lose something in it, but you just don't realize it.
