The story of a cook

Chapter 312

The year I spent with my mother.

During the New Year with my mother, my heart is warm and at ease, and my heart is warm by my mother's side.

One year spent similar, each year is different.

Every year, what grows is not only the age, but also the perception and understanding of life.

I love my family, my mother, my five older sisters.

Everyone's experience is different, and their understanding of home and family is different.In my impression, no matter how poor or dilapidated my home is, it is the warmest.Every time I go home, I will be surrounded by strong family affection, and my heart will be warm.

My five older sisters and I sat around my mother. My mother used to protect us like an old hen. Now that my mother is old, we will protect her.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, my sister and brother-in-law all came back, and the house was lively for a day.

Seeing me come back to celebrate the New Year, my sisters also said that what I did was wrong, I can go to Lin Yan's house to celebrate the New Year, there is no need for the two of them to go back to their own houses, as if they are going to separate.

The elder sister said: "You did this wrong. Tomorrow you will go to Lin Yan's house to pay her mother a New Year's greeting."

I said, "Well, I'll go tomorrow."

"That's your mother too. Our mother is Lin Yan's mother. Lin Yan's mother is also your mother. They are both old. They can't be their own mothers. Others' mothers are not mothers. That's okay." Lin Yan has been at our house for two years, and you have been at Lin Yan's house for one year, so you shouldn't come back this year."

"Ah."

The third sister said: "I didn't know that you would come back by yourself. If I knew that you would come back by yourself, I would not come back. I will look at you to get angry."

I smile.

"Still laughing, now who cares about these things, it's different in which house to celebrate the new year, some people go to the old man's house to celebrate the new year, where is it not? Qian Hu from our camp goes to the old man's house to celebrate the new year every year, and going to the old man's house to celebrate the new year is even more important. Well, the mother-in-law makes it every day, and eating ready-made ones is no better than making it yourself, you are stupid."

The third sister is a look of hatred to me.

"Well, I will go to Lin Yan's house to celebrate the New Year." I said.

The second sister said: "I don't care about that, I can celebrate the New Year wherever I want, I just want to ask Lin Yan if she is pregnant?"

I said, "No."

"Why don't you two have children yet? When are you waiting?" Second Sister asked anxiously.

"I'm going to have a baby this year, don't worry."

The second sister said: "People want to have children after they get married. You two are fine. You have been married for several months and there is no movement."

The fifth sister said: "Look, the second sister is anxious to hug the eldest nephew."

"I'm still in a hurry, you are not in a hurry?" The second sister said, "I am in a hurry, but our mother is even more worried, but she just doesn't say anything."

"Is it urgent to have a baby? Even if you are pregnant now, you will have to wait ten months before giving birth. It doesn't mean that you will give birth immediately. I am not in a hurry." The eldest sister said: "But Guohua, you have to pay close attention. , our mother will be 69 this year, and she will be [-] next year. Others' old ladies have great-grandchildren when they are [-]. Like my grandma, Lan Jun, she doesn't have great-grandchildren anymore. Tell me, I will be Grandma, our mother is not a grandma yet."

The second sister said: "No, the eldest sister is already a grandmother, and the mother is not yet a grandmother. Guohua, you have to hurry up."

I said, "Well, hurry up."

Fifth Sister laughed and said, "Second Sister, when Guohua's family has a child, you can coax it. Our mother is too old to coax her."

"I'll coax him. My nephew is just like my son. I'll coax him and tell him to take care of me when the time comes." The second sister said.

"Then what if it's a girl?" Fifth Sister asked.

"Girl?"

The second sister didn't seem to have thought about giving birth to a girl at all.

"Girls don't want to coax, I have enough of both girls, I must be a kid."

"You are a typical patriarchal boy," Fifth Sister said.

The eldest sister said to the fifth sister: "Your second sister has liked boys all her life. She doesn't have that life. She cares about boys from anyone else."

"I'm just a rambunctious boy. It's useless for girly movies. Sooner or later, I will be someone else's person, so I can support such a big family for nothing." The second sister said.

The third sister said: "You don't need to say that. Now it's better to raise a boy than a girl. Just look at it. When the time comes, our sisters will count on your life. Your two girls can take care of you. The few of us How about a child who raises a child and is not sure when he grows old?"

"That's right. It's useless to raise a boy now. A boy is just a name. Seeing that this family has not died out, there are still descendants. If you want to talk about pensions, you need a girl, and the boy is talking nonsense." The eldest sister said.

The second sister said: "Your relationship is good, a girl and a boy, both sons and daughters."

The eldest sister said: "What's wrong with you, you don't need to always say that the girl is not good now, it depends on what you did when you were old, Qiuping and Xiao Hehe will support her parents and not you."

The second sister said: "It's better not to raise him. Doesn't Guohua have a boy here? I asked my eldest nephew to support me."

The fifth sister smiled and said, "Look, there is still an appointment to have a baby." Then she said to me: "Guohua, you and Lin Yan have a heavy responsibility, and you have to have a boy. There's no one left to feed."

There is no way to say about the matter of having a child, and no one can be sure. Sometimes it must be in fate, and there is always time in fate. Don't force it.Regardless of the girls and boys, they came here after us, so they have to take good care of them.

After a busy day, I went to Lin Yan's house in the third day of junior high school.

As soon as I arrived at Lin Yan's house, I received a call from Boss Cao.

"Tan Zi, happy Chinese New Year!"

"Brother Cao, Happy New Year!"

Boss Cao asked, "Are you at home or where?"

I said, "In Fuzhong, Lin Yan's house, just arrived."

"Oh, it's good to go to the old man's house." Boss Cao said.

"Very good." I asked, "What's the matter, Brother Cao?"

"There's something wrong." Boss Cao asked, "Tan Zi, where are you doing now?"

"What are you doing at Laohan Villa in Santaizi?"

"Oh, how is business?"

"It's okay, but now the fire inspection fails and the business is temporarily closed." I said.

Boss Cao asked, "Then when do you go to work?"

I said, "It's not sure. I'll take a look on the fifth day of the new year. The firefighting issue is almost resolved, just install some more sprinklers."

"Oh, what the hell, we'll contact you when you come back." Boss Cao said.

"Alright, I'll go back to the provincial capital tomorrow, and call when the time comes."

"Okay, I'll wait for your call."

I know the meaning of Boss Cao's call.

He Yuxuan's business dropped to about [-] a day a few years ago, which can be said to be a bleak operation. Looking for me is nothing more than asking me to go back, readjust, and then increase the business.

It's a pity that I don't have the skills to do so. Laohan Villa will open soon, so I can't leave Laohan Villa alone.He Yuxuan has come to this point purely by himself. He didn't have to replace me at the beginning, which is also self-inflicted.

He Yuxuan was almost built by me with a lot of effort and painstaking efforts.Because of the poor relationship with Boss Cao's wife, he was finally laid off.

It's a pity in my heart, but it doesn't help.What makes me gratified is that when I worked in He Yuxuan, I improved many shortcomings in my work, and at the same time learned a lot about the operation of the front desk. This is the biggest gain.

My mother-in-law had already prepared the meals. During the meal, my mother-in-law asked my mother how she was doing and told her that she was fine. The mother-in-law asked Lin Yan if her mother was angry if she didn’t go back to celebrate the New Year. I said no.

The mother-in-law said: "Your mother must be angry. Lin Yan is also a child with a temper. She ran home to celebrate the New Year."

"My mother was not angry, but scolded me." I said.

"What did the old lady scold you for?" Lin Yan asked.

"Call me for being ignorant."

Lin Yan said, "You are just ignorant."

I smiled, drank, and didn't speak.

My mother-in-law saw me drinking and said to me: "Stop drinking for a while, you two are going to have a baby."

I said, "Well, I quit drinking when I got back."

"If you can quit drinking, I will quit eating." Lin Yan said.

"For the sake of my son, I must stop drinking."

"You may be sure of what you said. Let's talk about it when you really quit drinking."

Lin Yan seemed to see through me, thinking that I couldn't quit drinking, so she said contemptuously to me.

"You don't need to quit. If you can't quit, it's fine for a period of time, one month." The mother-in-law said.

Or my mother-in-law understands me.

After dinner, I chatted with my mother-in-law for a while, and I asked if I had introduced someone to Zhihao.

The mother-in-law said: "There is also an introduction, it is from Huanggang. This woman was married, but she has no children. She is five years older than Zhihao. She has no father or mother. She grew up with her aunt, and now sells grain and oil with her aunt in BJ. "

"Oh, I've been married, what's Zhihao's opinion?" I asked.

"The two haven't met yet, so Zhihao can say it." Mother-in-law said, "We have to meet and see how it goes. If we haven't met, we can't decide."

"That's right, then ask the matchmaker to arrange for the two of them to meet. If the two have no objections, it will be settled. Zhihao should also be engaged."

The mother-in-law said: "It's time to get engaged. All the boys on the street who are about his age are married, and some of them have children. He is the only one left, and he doesn't look good."

I said: "Yes, when the time comes, I will go on a blind date with Zhihao as soon as possible. If there is nothing wrong with Zhihao and the woman agrees, I will make a marriage for them. Lin Yan and we don’t spend much money now, we’re going to marry Zhihao first, that’s a big deal.”

"Well, that's what I thought too. If it really works out, I'll arrange a marriage for the two of them. I also have some money on my side. It's okay if you help me some more then."

I said: "Okay, when it's settled, you can say, Lin Yan and I will get the money together, and don't fail to get along because of the money."

"Old Tan, you don't need to promise blindly. You won't be able to pay to see what you do." Lin Yan said from the side.

I said, "I have no money to sell my daughter-in-law."
