The story of a cook

Chapter 599
Back to the apartment after a busy day, Sister Zhao prepared the meals.Seeing the food on the table, I felt a sense of happiness, thinking that it would be great if Lin Yan cooked it.

"Xiaomei and I went to the mall today." Sister Zhao said and took my down jacket and hung it up.

"Did you go to Carrefour?" I asked.

Sitting down to eat, Sister Zhao said, "Brother, let me tell you something, I plan to go back."

I said, "Stay here, two more days."

"It's been half a month, it's almost over, and besides, my mother is also worrying about it at home, and it's almost New Year's Eve."

"It's early Chinese New Year, it's still one month away."

"That's not too fast, it will be there in a while."

I smiled and said to Sister Zhao: "Whoever cooks for me after you leave is used to it. I miss you so much when you leave."

Sister Zhao smiled, and said softly: "Eat at the restaurant by yourself, I don't care about you, I have to go back, sister is well now, look how good I look."

"I don't want you to go." I said.

"I'm bothering you here too. You still have to go to work. I'll come back when there's nothing to do after the Chinese New Year." She went on to say, "Call Xiaomei and Li Shuang over tomorrow and have a meal together. I'll be back the day after tomorrow."

Sister Zhao is much better now than when she came here, her face is rosy, her sunken eye sockets are gone, and the most important thing is that she can turn off the lights when she sleeps at night.There is only so much I can do, and she still has to solve some knots by herself, and no one else can help.Time is a good medicine for wounds, it will slowly heal the wounds.

In addition, she will go to Fuzhou for inspection next week, and she herself is a little worried here.

Sister Zhao raised her wine glass and said to me, "Thank you, brother."

"What are you talking about, aren't you my sister?" He clinked glasses with her and took a sip.

"I feel very good in the past half month, and I am a little bit reluctant to leave."

"You are welcome at any time. I am still happy when you are here. Someone cooks, someone washes clothes, and someone cleans up the house. It's like being at home. How beautiful it is."

Sister Zhao said, "You should bring your daughter-in-law here."

"I think, what about children? Binhai's consumption level is so high, besides, she doesn't come here, and she doesn't want to be with me." I smiled wryly, thinking of the miserable world between Lin Yan and me, and said to Sister Zhao: "Sister, I'm not afraid of your jokes. We haven't been together since we beat her to become pregnant. Now we are like strangers."

Sister Zhao didn't believe what I said at all, and asked, "Why are you still like that? You lied to me."

"Why are you lying to me? You are my sister." I said, "Both of us are fine in everything, we can live a life, and we both love our children, that is—how can you say it, you can't do it when you are pregnant, you know that. After giving birth, she started to worry about it, and I have been working in other places, and we meet once a year, and I can't stay for two days when I go home, and the baby is born little by little."

Sister Zhao looked at me and said, "I don't even want to give birth to my daughter, but I'm not like you."

"Maybe it's the reason we don't always stay together. When the child was young, she didn't want to, and she was annoying. As soon as I was close to her, the annoyance couldn't be cured. Now that the child is sensible, I have started to taboo on the child. Let me put it this way, we are now It feels strange to pull your hand down, and she is also annoying."

"The main reason is that you are always working in other places, you two are always not together, the couple can't live without a husband and wife, and the relationship is guaranteed to be weak."

Sister Zhao looked at me after she finished speaking, and remembered what Zhou Xiaomei told her in the afternoon that I was a godfather to Wang Hong's son. She heard Zhou Xiaomei's implicit meaning that Wang Hong was very good to me, so she asked seriously: "What do you think?" Honestly, brother, is there someone here?"

"Where is it? Do you think I dare? I'm a chef, it's okay to talk nonsense, no one cares. Now I manage the kitchens of four stores, and I talk to others every day, and I will talk to women again. Egg, raise an iron son, dare you? Besides, you have been here for half a month, if I have you, I can see it, even if I can’t see it, I will talk about it myself, and I won’t say anything to you and me.” I said .

Sister Zhao still didn't believe it. In order to confirm further, she said in a questioning tone: "I heard Xiaomei said that there is a woman who treats you very well, and you are still her child's godfather."

"She is talking about Wang Hong, who is about the same age as you, because I have been stabbed by her, but I have nothing to do with her."

"Just because you don't care, doesn't mean he doesn't care. You were stabbed because of her. Let me see, where did you stab?"

Pull up your pants so she can see the scar.

"You, what's the matter, don't go forward with this matter in the future, it's stabbed in the leg, if it's stabbed somewhere else—" She glared at me and continued, "It's scary."

I don't care and smile.

Now Sister Zhao believes that this younger brother is not messing around with other women here, so she calms down and said slowly: "You are the leader now, don't mess around with women, it's not good to spread it, if you really think about it, go out and find a lady .”

When talking about looking for a young lady, this beautiful woman blushed, thinking why did she still say this.

"I know that," I said.

"If you can't do it, don't do it here. Go back to the provincial capital and earn less. Why don't you spend time with your wife every day and relax slowly."

"I want to relax, but now she doesn't want to. She wants me to work hard outside, earn more money, and buy a house in two years."

"That's the thing. I'm afraid that the two of you will never be together, and the relationship will end. In addition, it's not a big deal that the two places are always separated. It's no different from divorce. It's better to be divorced."

I sighed and said, "Look, let's do this first, we're both old couples."

"You two are so strong, you are both people who live a life, and you can endure hardships. You are always working in other places, and the two of you are always not together, and you have a little bit of birth---listen to my sister, no matter what happens, you can't get divorced, and the children have to be divorced. In the presence of parents and mothers, single-parent families can't do it, it's dangerous."

"Don't worry, there will be no divorce."

"Go back to the provincial capital after the new year and do it. The family of three can still be together, and the children miss you too."

"Look - I can go back if I can. Now I still focus on making money. Unlike you, I have an old insurance. If I don't go to work, the Communist Party will pay me. I can't do it. If I don't go to work, I have to live on my own. How can I say that I have to work for another 20 years, until he graduates from university and has a job.”

"You are quite tired." Sister Zhao said looking at me.

"It's better to be tired now than to have nothing at all when you're old."

After taking a sip of wine, I felt a lot of pressure when I thought about the reality, and I didn't dare to stop.

"Brother, you have been doing this for more than ten years, and you haven't saved any money?" Sister Zhao asked.

I laughed and said to her: "I don't care about the money in my family. To be honest, I don't know how much money my family has now, and I don't ask."

"You have been working for more than ten years, and you have not been idle. Your wife has also been working for three years. You should save some money."

"Well, I used to earn less, and my family had to spend it. I didn't save any money, so I came to Binhai to earn money. Since last year, I have sent home [-] yuan a month, and this year it is [-]. This is money. .”

"You and your wife don't need to save more for a year, just [-] yuan, which is enough for a down payment in two years. The subway is built at your house, and there may be a subway station in front of your house, and the houses nearby will have to be relocated. Don't rent a house this time, just buy one with a loan," said Sister Zhao.

"It's the same plan."

"Your daughter-in-law is a day-to-day person, and you can't save money in your hands. It's right to give your daughter-in-law all the pocket money left every month. Although we can't be together, I think that's for sure, so don't talk to your daughter-in-law." Nonsense, no matter how good the outside world is, it is not as good as your own wife, you know?"

"Yeah. I know."

Sister Zhao picked up the wine glass and touched me, and after drinking, she said: "The little girl doesn't like you, you are too old, and you don't look good. But you are very manly, and older girls like you like this." Yes, if you meet a single person, you will be able to entangle you. You have to pay attention, they say not to destroy the family, can you not destroy it? Once two people have a relationship, they have to have feelings. At that time, they will start to feel that their daughter-in-law That’s not good, that’s not good, not all divorces are like this.”

"Don't worry, I won't."

"There are a lot of men chasing women across the mountain, and women chasing men through layers of gauze. Today, when I'm with Xiaomei, I feel that she is hostile to me. I can hear her words. Tell me, even she I like you, don't talk about others."

I hurriedly said, "No, she talks like that."

"I still can't tell what it is. I'm a woman and I know that she likes you."

"If I liked it, I would have liked it a long time ago. We have been here for many years. It's impossible."

"Nothing is impossible, how many years can you do? You two are fellow villagers, relatives, and classmates. You may not have thought of that before. Now that you have been together for a long time, you are still outstanding. Can you not like it?"

She blushed a little, and then said: "Take us as an example, if we don't like it, we can come to you? It's just that after a long time, I really treat you as a younger brother. If I didn't feel that I was ten years older than you at first, I would be too old Duo, you think I won't chase you, hehe, what's that called, yes, old cows eat young grass."

We both laughed together after we finished speaking.

I remembered the scene when she bought me sheets and made my bed that day when I came back to work at Sandaizi Shengmei from Xinchuang. We were lying on the same bed, and she was leaning against my arms.It was the first time I had intimate contact with a woman, and I was so frightened that I didn't know where to put my hands, and the blood flow all over my body accelerated and my breathing became short of breath.But I don't know why I fell asleep later. When I woke up, she was still in my arms, facing me, blushing.

At that time, I really wanted to go up and kiss her.

At that time, I just regarded her as my elder sister, and didn't think too much about it, and there was also an age factor in it.The women who have been in contact with the most since childhood are the older sisters. It is natural to be free and unrestrained in front of the older sisters.This may be the reason, it is easy to get along with women who are older than me, and I will also get along with them-just treat them as my sisters.

This is the case with Sister Zhao. She didn't even think about dating. She is older than me and is an older sister. How can she date her?This was my thinking at the time, but I don’t think so now. After going through marriage and family, I know that women like her and Sister Ma are the best choice to be wives.

The bits and pieces of my relationship with Sister Zhao flashed before my eyes one by one like a movie. Hey, more than ten years have passed in a flash, and there is a feeling that the past is unbearable.Li Shuang and Zhou Xiaomei came over after get off work the next day, and the four of us shabu-shabu saw Sister Zhao off.

Zhou Xiaomei and Li Shuang were a little bit reluctant to part with Sister Zhao. Sister Zhao was gentle, beautiful, and intellectual, like a big sister, and anyone would like to be with her.

Human beings are emotional animals, because of emotions, there is family affection, love, and friendship, which makes people have bonds and bridges between people, makes people have an emotional world, and life has a taste.

"After the new year, I will go back to the provincial capital to find you, hold my son in my arms, and you will be my son's godmother." Li Shuang said to Sister Zhao.

"That's fine, I just want a son." Sister Zhao said happily.

Zhou Xiaomei resented Li Shuang: "Always find a godmother for your son, and show off your son if there is nothing wrong."

Li Shuang said proudly: "There is no way, my little man is excellent, and I am eager to give birth to one by myself." Then he increased the drama: "Forget, you are now a lonely leftover woman, the cold and proud queen, the wine fairy, hey, so excellent, no I should be thrown into limbo, and I will introduce one to you someday, if it doesn’t work, I’ll be my son’s godmother, so that you won’t be alone.”

Zhou Xiaomei hit Li Shuang with her hand.

Sister Zhao said with a smile: "Xiaomei is excellent, ordinary men are not good enough for her."

"Then who can blame? Leave the ones around you alone, and only remember when the children are grown up. Oh, I regret it, and my heart is broken." Li Shuang clutched his stomach with an exaggerated expression of pain, but his eyes smiled .

Li Shuang and Zhou Xiaomei were arguing, while Sister Zhao laughed and glanced at me.I was a little unnatural, knowing that Li Shuang was talking about me.

After eating the hot pot, Li Shuang and Zhou Xiaomei went back. After they left, Sister Zhao told me that Zhou Xiaomei really liked me and asked me to pay attention. It is best to make it clear to others, this is impossible.

I agreed and told her that I would send her off tomorrow.She said no, the train at twelve o'clock tomorrow, when I'm busy, it will be uncomfortable to drop off, it's better to go alone.

"Brother, sleep on the bed today." Ms. Zhao said in a low voice.

"I'm too old to still be hugged by you, no, I'll sleep on the sofa by myself." I joked.

Sister Zhao laughed coquettishly, and said, "It's so uncomfortable to see you sleeping on the sofa. It's a beautiful thought, and I still hug you."

"Okay, sleep on the bed today."

Lying on the bed, Sister Zhao said in the dark: "Brother, when I'm sleeping, I still miss Old Wu, and feel that he hasn't left——"

"He built a nest in your heart and stayed there."

"That's right—he built a nest—"

This kind woman.
