The story of a cook

Chapter 492
After working on Women's Day on March [-], I arranged the kitchen work and went home.

When I got home, Lin Yan had just woken up to go to work. My son didn’t have to go to kindergarten, so I took it with me at home because I bought the ticket back to Beipiao in the afternoon, and I was going to take my son back to his hometown to see his mother.

Lin Yan was afraid that her son would not go back with me, but she didn't expect her son to be very happy when he heard that he would go home with me to see grandma.

So my son and I went to the hometown of Beipiao that night.

Mother didn't expect me to come back, and was surprised when she saw me and my son.

"You two are back, I didn't know you were back." Mother said.

"I asked for a few days off, come back to see you." I said.

"Is your restaurant not busy?" Mother asked.

I said, "I'm not busy anymore, I'm just busy during Chinese New Year."

The son asked his mother, "Grandma, where are my toys?"

The mother found out her son's toys and said to her son, "You have only been back for a few days, and you ran back again."

The son said: "Grandma, I miss you."

The mother said happily: "If you want grandma, stay at home with grandma. Your father will leave in two days, and you will stay with me at home."

The son said: "I think about it too, that is, when I go to bed at night, I miss my mother. I still have to go to kindergarten."

Mother smiled and said: "I know you can't stay at home, go play, grandma will make you noodles."

The son said, "I also eat pickled cabbage noodles."

The son was playing with toys, and the mother was about to make the noodles, but I didn't ask the mother to do it, so I made the noodles.

"Xiao Qiuping got married this year. Her partner is very good, and her parents are also very good. Although she is from the provincial capital, the city people are not airy at all. I

Look no different from us country folks. said the mother.

I said, "Qiu Ping's partner's family is an ordinary family in the provincial capital. According to the conditions, it is not as good as my second sister's family."

"Okay, it's okay, as long as you can live." The mother said: "Your second sister's family has been better in the past two years. It's Qiuping who works to get money home, and your second brother-in-law drives the winch for someone else's iron mine. Earn some money, or you won't do it."

"The family pays for the land, not less than a year." I said.

"How much does her family pay for the land? Unlike your elder sister and your third sister's family, they have flue-cured tobacco, and they still make money from flue-cured tobacco." Mother said.

"Yes, flue-cured tobacco makes money." I said.

"Do you know that your elder sister's family bought a sedan chair last year?" said the mother.

"I don't know." I said happily, "Okay, I bought a sedan chair."

Mother said: "If your elder sister doesn't buy it, Lan Jun wants to buy it, and your elder brother-in-law agrees. I bought it in winter. I even sat there once. It's very good."

I said, "Buy it if you can, it's convenient to go out."

"It is now practiced to buy sedan chairs, and all the conditions are good. I heard that it is more than [-], which is still rich." My mother said: "Now our family is here, and it is not so difficult for everyone. few."

"It's better not to go out to work if you know that." I said.

"We can't compare with others. If we can do it now, we can't do it then." My mother said.

I smiled and started cutting noodles.

"This year, your third sister's family also bought a sedan chair. Seeing that your eldest sister's family has bought one, she is eager to buy it." Mother said.

I asked, "Did my fifth sister's family say to buy it?"

"Your fifth sister also wants to buy it, but your fifth brother-in-law refused to let it go. He said it for two years. The main reason is that your fifth brother-in-law can't drive it. He said he would buy it when it opens." Mother said.

"Now I'm finished, let alone a car, I don't even have a house." I said.

"Didn't you start a family late? Our family is in a difficult situation. I don't think about whether we have a car or not. Buying a house is a serious matter. Save some money to buy a house." Mother said.

Yes, saving money to buy a house first is the business.

When eating noodles, I served a bowl for my mother. My mother said that she dared not eat at night because of poor digestion, so she drank some milk powder every night.As she spoke, her mother brewed a cup of milk powder and drank it slowly.

"Your fifth sister bought it. She said that the elderly should eat as little as possible at night, and just drink a cup of milk powder. I don't want to drink this stuff. It smells like mutton, and it's not as good as oil tea noodles." Mother said.

"I don't want to drink milk powder either." The son said, "I would most like to eat noodles made by grandma, and I also like to eat dumplings."

"Tomorrow, I will make dumplings for you two." Mother said.

"Sauerkraut stuffing, grandma," said the son.

"Okay, stuffed with sauerkraut." The mother looked at her son dotingly and smiled.

"Tomorrow I'll go down and buy a few bags of camellia noodles." I said.

My mother said: "Buy less, you can't drink much, and you don't want to drink it after a few days. It's better to drink millet porridge. If I have nothing to do, I will cook some millet porridge and eat pickles. I can't eat fish or meat. I am old." , I don’t like digestion, I can’t eat big fish and meat, it’s good to eat some vegetarian food. You are fat, eat less meat, drink less alcohol, and when the time comes, your blood pressure will not be lowered even if it is high, and you will be confused.”

I said, "Well, eat less meat."

Thinking of the time when he vomited blood, he felt that he had to drink less alcohol.I always thought of going to the hospital for an examination, but I always forgot that I must have an examination this time when I go back.

Seeing that my mother is in good health is quite reassuring. I am most worried about my mother outside. My mother is in better health than anything else.To be honest, my mother is now physically better than me, and more energetic than me.

I took five days off in total, and I could only stay at home for three days, and none of my five sisters' homes went.The fifth sister knew that I was back, so she called the elder sister and the second sister, and the fifth sister, the second sister, and the eldest sister came back the next day.

The fifth sister and her family of three came back by motorcycle, and the eldest sister, second sister, eldest brother-in-law, and second brother-in-law came by Lanjun's car.Seeing that my sister's family is getting better and better every year, I am also happy.

After a busy day at home, they all went back in the afternoon.

The next day, I went to the store below to buy camellia noodles for my mother, and at the same time chatted with Fang Lin's parents for a while.Fang Lin's mother asked about Fang Lin's affair, and told her about Bao Peng's situation. After hearing this, she was also very satisfied.

Stayed quietly at home with my mother for two days, and then returned to the provincial capital.

It was already afternoon when we arrived in the provincial capital, and we cooked a delicious meal at home. In the evening, Lin Yan and Li Ge came back as a family of three, and our two families had a meal together.

I'm not at home, and if I have any problems at home, I ask Li Ge for help. I'm back, so it's right to invite him to dinner.

Li Ge is now earning working hours in the factory, more than 3000 yuan a month. His sister-in-law sells furniture in "Oriental Homeland" and earns a lot of money a month. Xiao Lele is in the first grade of elementary school and has a very good relationship with her son. Became an out-and-out young lady.

Brother Li asked me how much I pay a month now. I said five thousand, and Brother Li said five thousand. Work hard there. Lin Yan can earn fifteen thousand a month at home. The two of us add up to six thousand five a month. If you go to spend, you can still save some. Saving money for a few years to buy a house is a serious matter.

"Old Tan is doing it now, 1000 yuan a month, and it doesn't cost much there. 6000 yuan a month is enough to spend. Lin Yan is at home with her son. Brother Li's sister-in-law said.

"I'll be satisfied if I save two thousand." Lin Yan said.

Brother Li nodded and said, "Just save two thousand, and save for a few years to buy a house."

"I'm afraid that Lao Tan won't work for a long time, his job is unstable, and he will have to be laid off someday." Lin Yan said.

"Yes, Lao Tan earns a lot, but it's not stable," said the sister-in-law.

"Can you work for two years this time?" Brother Li asked.

I said, "At present, it's okay to work for a year. It's hard to say. The fluidity of working in a restaurant is too high. If you want to be the boss of someone else, you may not need it."

"I think you should save some money and don't buy a house first. It's good to start a small restaurant. If you save money, you will always get a part-time job, and you will be laid off every now and then." Li Ge said.

"If you want to open a restaurant, save money first, and then see what happens, and open a restaurant without buying a house." I said.

"You'd better work hard, let's not open a restaurant, but buy a house." Lin Yan said.

I said: "Open a restaurant to make money, and then buy a house after making money."

"Then what if we lose money? We are afraid of being with you, so we can buy a house." Lin Yan said.

I laughed and said, "I don't have any money yet. I'm planning to go early now, and wait until I really have money."

I don't know how much money the family has now, and I don't ask. I guess it should be a little bit, not a cent.

After cleaning up after dinner, Lin Yan told me that the pigs were not doing well last year, and my mother-in-law lost money for raising pigs.I asked if I would still raise them this year?She said that she still needs to raise pigs. Zhihao is finished now, and Zhiye still has one year to graduate from college.I said that if you have money at home, you can get some for your mother-in-law.She said she took it, if she didn't take her mother-in-law, she wouldn't even have the money to buy a pig.When she said this, I knew the family didn't have much money, so I didn't say anything.It's useless to say it, if you say it, you will get angry, it's better not to say it,
Lin Yan is not a person who has just lived, but she is too family-oriented. These years, she has a lot of money to support her family, otherwise our life cannot be so tight.All these years have passed, and it is not bad for this year or two.

The son sat in the car all morning, and started playing when he got home. He has been playing with his little sister until now, and he was a little sleepy. Lin Yan washed his face, and the little guy fell asleep after lying on the bed.

"Old Tan, you'd better work in Binhai for two years. After two years, our family can save 6 yuan. Now we can buy a house with a loan. Let's pay a down payment first, and then pay the mortgage monthly. It's more suitable than renting a house." , it is also my own house.” Lin Yan said.

I said: "Okay, what you say counts, save money."

"I'll just help my mother this time, and I won't help in the future," she said.

"Zino isn't married yet, so you have to help when the time comes." I said.

"It doesn't matter if you get married. He doesn't look for a job after graduating from college. If he finds a job, he can earn money and call his wife. If he can't earn money, don't call him a wife."

"That's what you're saying now, why not when it's time?"

"I don't care when the time comes. I still have to save money to send my son to school. My son has to choose a good school."

"You don't need to go to elementary school, just the general ones."

She was a little unhappy when I said that going to an ordinary elementary school was fine, and said, "That's not okay. You have to go to a good elementary school. Elementary school is very important."

I said, "Don't you have money to go to a good school? You want to buy a house and send your son to a good school, rob the bank."

"Don't worry about it, when the time comes, you have to buy a house and go to a good school," she said.

"Okay, listen to you, anyway, the money is with you, and you have the right to say." I said, and then asked: "How much money is the family now?"

"The family has no money now, do you want money?" she asked.

"No, just ask." I said.

"Hurry up and make money, the family doesn't have much money now." She said, "The place I'm working in is okay, but the money is less. I pay for pension insurance and medical insurance. It's close to home and I can take care of my son. This year I want to give My son enrolls in an English class, and other parents enroll their children."

I said, "It's a bit early, isn't it? It's time for my son to play, so don't make him too tired."

"You don't know anything about Lao Tan, and the child should be educated early." She said: "Besides, you stay at home for a few days, and you don't care about the child. I am willing to do whatever I want, and you don't need to worry about it. You just need to be responsible for earning money."

"I want to take care of the children at home, so I can't earn money." I said.

"Our child likes to draw, and I want to enroll him in an art class," she said.

"You decide, as long as he likes it." I said.

"English classes and art classes cost a lot of money. When I'm on break, I inquire about which one is better, and try it out first," she said.

"Well, if you want to enroll your child, choose a better one, and the one with more money is better." I said.

She was lying next to her son, "What else do you want to say to you? By the way, Qiuping is getting married this year. Will you come back then?"

"Come back, can you not come back?" I said, "She has to marry at our house, and I have to come back early."

"Our family has become her natal family. When the time comes, her husband will lead a motorcade to our house to pick her up. Our compound should be lively."

"Yes, it's lively."

"How much money should we give when Qiuping gets married?"

"As an aunt, you have the final say."

"Be more casual. If you marry from our family, you have to give Zu Qiuping face."
