The story of a cook

Chapter 552 The First Snow
Divorce is inseparable. Traditional moral concepts bind oneself, and one cannot divorce just because there is no married life.

There is also a lovely son.

I thought if you can hold it back, I can hold it back, the worst is to drink more wine, get drunk and sleep and don’t think about anything, even thinking about it is useless, I fell asleep, and when I wake up the next day, it’s time to go to work. I forget everything when I go to work, so I don't have time to think about men and women.

Still making money.

On the day we returned to Binhai, it was snowing heavily. The weather forecast said it was a blizzard. The cold current from Siberia passed through the entire HLBE, went south along HLJ Jilin, and continued southward to the provincial capital to reach Binhai.

This is the biggest snowfall in Binhai in ten years.

I like snow very much, since I was a child.When I was young, as long as it snowed in winter, I would play outside under the snow.It's not cold when it snows, on the contrary, it will be very warm. Running and playing in the snow will not hurt you if you fall down.When I returned home after playing tired, my mother put my snow-filled cotton shoes on the kang to dry. I sat on the kang and ate the big pancakes that my mother had just posted.

When I was young, I didn't know whether I was worried or not, I just knew how to play, and when I was tired from playing, I went home to eat.

Now I can no longer go back to my carefree childhood, only sporadic fragments of memories hang in the corner of my mouth.

But my love for snow remains.

I like to walk in the quiet snowy night and watch the snowflakes flying all over the sky through the street lamps; I like to walk in the snow and listen to the creaking sound of my feet; I like to stand on the snow-falling streets and watch people walking.

The world of fluttering snow is quiet, and the quietness makes people feel warm.

There are few customers on snowy days, and everyone gets off work at nine o'clock.Li Haicai and Zhang Zhicheng called me to eat hot pot, but we couldn't talk to them and planned to walk in the snow.

Sister Ma saw that I would not go, so she said to me: "Everyone has gone to eat hot pot, and it is just right to eat hot pot when it is snowing."

I said: "If you don't like to go, it's better to take a stroll, it's so warm."

"Do you need someone to accompany you?" Sister Ma asked with a smile.

"Who else are you looking for? You can do it." I said.

Walking in the snow with Sister Ma.

"Going home to celebrate your mother's birthday, isn't it very lively?" she asked.

"Well, it's quite lively." I said.

"Did your family of three go back?"

"No, I went back with my son. My daughter-in-law is at work, so I can't take leave." I said.

"Is your mother doing well?" she asked.

"Very good, great body."

"That's good. The old man's health is stronger than anything else. It's a blessing for his children."

"Yes."

The two of us walked to the beach, ready to see what the snowy beach looks like.There are very few people on the road, especially on the road to the sea.

"Today we are preparing dumplings for Xiaonian," Ma said.

"It's time to prepare. Last year, it sold more than 8 yuan, and this year it is going to break through [-]." I said.

"I think one hundred thousand is enough."

"Almost, this year's business is better than last year, and it should sell for [-]."

"I think there are quite a lot of big gift bags, and this year the big gift bags can make a lot of money."

"Well, to earn money for the vacuum packaging machine." I said.

"You have worked so hard for a whole month, and now that the sales are so good, you didn't give me any bonus?" Sister Ma asked me with a smile.

I said, "No, the old man is not confused, he understands everything."

"You are now among the meritorious ministers," she said.

"That's it. I have done smoked pickles. If I haven't done it, I have to find someone else to do it. I don't want merit but no fault." I said with a smile.

"Won't those two head chefs fix it?" she asked.

I said: "Crafts are learned differently. There are specializations in art. I learned it when I was an apprentice. The two of them may not have learned it."

"Like you know everything."

"The main thing is to learn miscellaneous things. I can tell you that I know everything. Korean barbecue, fresh vegetables, Japanese cuisine, smoked pickles, dumpling stuffing, and bread dumplings, pancakes, all kinds of vegetables, stir-fried vegetables , all of these will."

"Why don't you say you are the chef."

"I know everything and I'm tired. Haven't you heard that clever people are slaves to stupid people?"

"That's what you say, but it's better to be the same than not to be the same. You don't know that many people in the kitchen admire you now, saying that you are amazing, and what you look like, like smoked pickles, has become a specialty of our family. To your credit," she said.

After walking for a while, we reached the beach.The sea is quiet and quiet, which is in great contrast with the white snow on the shore, and it is so harmonious and unified.

The ferry docked at the pier, and the light from the lighthouse spread far away on the sea.

There is no wind, only quiet snowflakes fluttering in the night sky——
"I like the snow the most, it's warm." Sister Ma said.

"I would also like."

"It will be cold tomorrow when the snow stops."

"I remember when it snowed when I was young, the eaves were covered with icicles as soon as it melted the next day," I said.

"Then beat them with a stick, pick them up and eat them, it doesn't feel like being buried."

"The snow is pretty clean."

"When I was young, I didn't mind the sudden cold. The more it snowed, the more I ran outside. I went out to play in the snow. My hands were red and red from the cold. I was often scolded when I came home."

She laughed.

"It's not enough to go out and play even when you are scolded."

"I remember that when I was young, I was very naughty, like a tomboy, my mother said she wouldn't listen to me, and scolded me all the time, my father is good, don't care about me, just spoil me."

"Boy is good to mom, girl is good to father." I said.

She glanced at me and said: "My father and mother are not lucky. When it's time to enjoy the blessings, they are both sick. They passed away when they were just seventy. My father left first. After three years of absence, my mother also left. Thinking of what my dad thought——”

"It's the same as my second uncle and my second mother in the east courtyard of my house. His family name is Zhang, and he is a neighbor of the younger generation. My second uncle died in 72. When burning him for the third anniversary, everyone went to the grave to burn paper in the morning. When we got home My second mother was dying just after eating, saying that my second uncle told her to go over, and then she was gone." I said.

"The old couple left in one day, three years away?"

"Yes, I walked in one day, three years away."

"That's life—"

Are people really fate?It is said that what is the fate of a person, the blessed are rich, the unlucky are poor, and the hardworking are busy. If you say that, reincarnation is really a skill.

I have read the "Book of Changes" since I was a child, and there are predictions on people's fate. Using current science, divination is also a kind of statistics. As long as the data given is accurate, the calculation is also accurate.

But the real life is the human heart.If people want to be good, they will be rich even if they are suffering; if they want to be evil, even if they are rich, they will be nothing.

I have gone through 35 springs and autumns, experienced poverty, and experienced suffering. The biggest feeling that poverty gives me is an experience, nothing.If I was born in a wealthy family, I would not have these experiences, I would not have a mother who raised me up through hardships, and I would not have five older sisters who care about me and love me. I might not feel this kind of family affection that blood is thicker than water , Maybe I'm in prison now, and it's not necessarily true.

Birth determines rich and poor, environment determines experience, and human heart determines destiny.

The second uncle of my East Hospital suffered from pulmonary heart disease when he was young. When he was 60 years old, he felt that time was running out, so he prepared the coffin.At that time, I was in elementary school and went to and from school with my brother from his family every day.One day, it was also a snowy winter, and five beggars came to our camp, begging from door to door. It was getting dark and there was no place to live, so the second uncle took them in.Give them food, heat up the kang, and ask them to stay at home for one night.

I remember when I went to school the next morning, I went to his house to call my brother. As soon as I entered the house, I saw the five beggars eating at the table, and saw that the second uncle was very energetic, sitting on the kang smoking a pipe, and he was not short of breath. up.During the Chinese New Year that year, the second uncle was seriously ill. The doctor said that it was the year after year.

Of course, no one believed what my child said. Adults should prepare whatever they want. I found Erniang and said that there is no need to prepare. My second uncle can live ten years and see his grandson.Of course Erniang didn't want the second uncle to die, so she sent someone to find a fortune teller to do the math to see if the second uncle could pass the year.The fortune-teller said that the old man was fine, but he was destined to have this catastrophe, and it was hard to bear, after this catastrophe, he would have ten years of life.

The second uncle is slowly recovering, and he will live another ten years.

Erniang asked me how I knew that the second uncle could live for ten years. I couldn't tell, but I saw that the second uncle didn't look like he was going to leave, as if he was negotiating with the bull head and horse face, and finally the bull head horse face left.

It is said that children have clean eyes and can see anything. In fact, I didn’t see anything. I just thought that the second uncle would not die——how can such a kind person say that he can keep five beggars at home in a snowy day? just leave?

When I finished talking about this matter with Sister Ma, she said, "My heart is so good that I can accumulate virtue until I grow old and become a Buddha."

"That is, people should be kind at all times, and don't do things that violate their conscience." I said.

"Can you see what I look like?" She asked, taking me as a fortune teller.

"I can't see it, I don't know how to tell fortunes, I advise you not to tell fortunes, people's lives are getting thinner and thinner." I said, and then asked: "Do you know why blind people tell fortunes?"

"Why?" she asked.

"Because fortune-telling is divulging the secrets of heaven. People who tell fortunes have opened their celestial eyes. God has opened your celestial eyes for you. Naturally, you have to get back your eyes to see the world. Don't let the world of mortals mess up your mood." I said.

"You seem to understand."

"I don't understand, but people will naturally understand after a lot of experience." I said: "People have fate, but don't ask others to calculate it. The calculation may not be accurate or credible. I have never heard anyone say that life and death have fate." Fate and wealth are in the sky, the Lord is life and death, God is rich and honored, until life and death do not know the weight of fate, it is difficult to understand the weight of fate, people are chasing after their lives for wealth, only in the end do they realize that wealth is like floating clouds, profit and fortune are like flowing water, but nothing Live well, but believe in fortune-tellers, do you not understand?"

"What you said is quite reasonable, let me figure it out." She said.

Women like fortune-telling and let others solve their doubts, but I really don't know how to do it.

After staying at the beach for a while, I started to walk back, and the soft snowflakes fell on my face, bringing a warm and cool feeling.

There are no pedestrians on the road, and the lights of residential buildings in the distance give warmth to the family back home.Listening to the creaking sound under the feet, it seems that I have returned to my childhood.

Neither of them spoke. Sister Ma didn't put on the hat of the down jacket. The snowflakes fell on her hair, which had a poetic beauty.

Walking with the United States on a snowy night has a warm and romantic relationship.

Once upon a time, I forgot that there is such a time in the world.

"How wonderful!" After a long time, Sister Ma said two words leisurely.

After saying these two words, she naturally straddled my arm and hugged me.

She smiled when I paused in a daze.

"Let's go."

"you are pretty."

"Be silly."

"Hehe, hehe"

This is a snowy night full of emotion.
