The story of a cook

Chapter 61 The Lost Brother
Not long after the full moon was out, Huang Ping brought her child to the restaurant.

Every day, Boss Zou drove his family of three over in his car. Boss Zou sat in the restaurant for a while and left after checking that there was nothing to do.Huang Ping and her children stayed in the hotel, and when Tingting came back from school in the afternoon to finish her homework and eat, Boss Zou came to the hotel and the family of four went home together.

Huang Ping is taking care of the children in the restaurant, and sometimes she will go to the hanging oven cake to have a look. At this time, someone needs to help look after the children.Children are not easy to take care of, they cry at every turn.

Huang Ping's son didn't look for anyone, but Yaru.As soon as Huang Ping called Yaru, everyone knew that it was time to take the children again.

Yaru is patient with children, not annoying, and good at coaxing children.She is destined to have children, such a woman will be filial to her children when she is old.

Huang Ping's son was very fat, and everyone called him "Old Fatty", and they called Shunzui, "Old Fatty" became the child's nickname.

The weather is getting colder, people start to put on sweaters and woolen trousers, and some put on down jackets, and winter has just disappeared without a trace.

This is my third winter working outside.It has been almost three years since I came out without knowing it, and the days go by so fast.This year, except for going home for a blind date in the summer, I never went home again.The fifth sister wrote to say that the family is doing well, and my mother is in good health, and told me not to worry about it, because my mother is just worried about my partner.

I am also in a hurry.

Maybe it's because I've been out for a long time, I've been working part-time for nearly three years, I'm getting used to working life, I don't miss my family as much as when I first came out, I just miss my mother very much.

Only with a mother can there be a home, and homesickness means missing mother.

I miss my mother, but I can't solve the practical problems, and I can't bring my mother to the city. The only thing I can do is to go to the post office to remit the money to my family every month when the fund is raised, which is the most practical thing.My salary is 600 yuan a month, which is not bad.My expenses are not big, I just smoke some cigarettes and drink some wine, and the rest is to buy daily necessities such as toothpaste, washing powder, and soap. I rarely buy clothes, and I don’t know how to dress myself.Sister Zhao always buys me clothes, which are enough to wear.

Sister Zhao hasn't come over since the beginning of winter, probably because she has been busy.

I miss Sister Zhao very much. In the provincial capital, Sister Zhao and Master Chen are friends who have been in touch since they met, and most of the others can't be contacted.Needless to say, the fourth child and the second child are brothers even if they don't contact each other.

Sister Zhao likes to sell clothes, and selling clothes is also suitable for women. With Sister Zhao's energy, she can do it.

When I was thinking about Sister Zhao, Sister Zhao came, she came with Li Na.

Li Na's mother's house is in the Taishan Community on Taishan Road.This day, the two of them got off the bus and came together. First, they sat at Li Na's mother's house for a while, and then they came to the Rose Hotel.When I arrived at the restaurant, it was dinner time. After I had been busy for more than an hour, the waiter came to the back kitchen to find me and said that a customer called me and told me to come over.

Very few customers call the chef out of the kitchen. Once the guest calls the chef over, it means that there is a big problem with the dishes, and the waiter can't solve it, so the chef is called out to solve it.I thought about it carefully, and felt that there should be nothing wrong with the whole meal, and nothing should happen, but I still came to the front desk a little uneasy.

The waiter said: "In Baoliu, it's Baoliu's guest calling."

I came to Baoliu Gate, opened the door and went in, and saw that it was Sister Zhao and Li Na.

Seeing that it was the two of them, they let go of their hearts.

"It turned out to be you. I thought there was something wrong with the food and the customer was looking for it. I was shocked." I said as I entered the door.

"If it's us, don't be afraid." Sister Zhao said with a smile.

I smiled, to be honest, I was very happy to see Sister Zhao, as close as seeing my sisters at home.

I sat down next to Sister Zhao.

Li Na said, "I'm just waiting for you. We've come a long time ago. I want to call you. Your sister Zhao said I'll call you when you're done."

Sister Zhao asked, "Are you done with your work now? Brother."

I said: "It's over, today is not too busy, it's cold, and all the guests have gone to eat hot pot."

Li Na said: "I also want to eat hot pot. It's not like you, my sister, have to come to see her brother. There's no way. Come as a foil."

She laughed after she finished speaking, and Sister Zhao didn't care.

"It's okay. If you want to eat hot pot, you can go now. I won't stop you." Sister Zhao said.

"Hey, Xiaohua, you are crossing the river and tearing down the bridge. If you see your brother, don't want me. Don't say I will tell you about your girlfriend." Li Na said.

Sister Zhao was taken aback, and I was also taken aback.

I asked Sister Zhao: "Sister, are you looking for someone?"

Sister Zhao said: "No way, don't listen to her nonsense, she is teasing you from there." Then she said to Li Na: "When did I find a date? You introduced it."

Li Na smiled, but didn't speak. It seemed that Li Na was joking, so I laughed too.

They had already ordered the dishes, and they had just arrived not long ago.I went to the kitchen and talked to the boss. When I passed the bar, Huang Ping just came in from the outside, probably coming back from Hanging Lubing.When I arrived at the front desk just now, I wondered why I didn't see Yaru. It seemed to be coaxing the children.

I also talked to Huang Ping, and then went to Baoliu to accompany Sister Zhao and the others.

It was the same as last time, Li Na and I drank liquor, and sister Zhao drank beer.

Sister Zhao gave me a sweater before drinking, I was a little embarrassed.

"You still have the thermal underwear you bought last year." I said to Sister Zhao.

"Thermal underwear is thermal underwear, and the sweater is sweater. Can it be the same? You can try it on." Sister Zhao said.

I took off the work clothes, and there was a sweater inside. Sister Zhao touched the sweater and asked, "Brother, you just wear such a thin sweater to work, isn't it cold?"

I said, "It's not cold to work in the kitchen, sometimes it's hot, and I don't go out to do anything."

"That's not okay. The temperature outside is dropping now. It's winter and you should wear more. Why don't you put on the thermal underwear I bought for you?" Sister Zhao complained to me a little.

I said, "One works in the kitchen, what are you doing wearing such nice clothes." Then I smiled at her and said, "It's okay, I'm in good shape, and I can't freeze."

Sister Zhao touched my thigh and pinched it.

"Look at you, you don't wear your lower body, what do you do when you catch a cold? Go back and put it on, and I'll buy it for you when the time comes."

Sister Zhao's tone was the same as that of my sister's, and my heart felt hot.

I hurriedly said, "No, I'll buy it myself."

After putting on the sweater, Sister Zhao stood up and helped me tidy it up. After looking at it, she turned around and asked Li Na, "What do you think?"

Li Na said, "It's pretty good, it fits me pretty well." Then she joked, "What else do you look at, and you didn't see who you bought it for, but that's what you have in mind—brother."

Sister Zhao ignored it, and said to me: "It's pretty good, I'm afraid it won't fit you well, are you getting fat again, you can't get fatter anymore, this is just right now."

I said, "I feel a little fat too."

"Eat less." Sister Zhao said, "Just wear it, don't take it off, aren't you not going into the kitchen?"

I said, "Well, it's okay, I told the boss, I won't go in."

I sit down.

Li Na on the opposite side looked at me and Sister Zhao and said, "Don't tell me, you two really look like siblings."

Sister Zhao said, "Like it."

Li Na said, "You two will look more alike if you stay together for a long time."

I just laughed and said, "Then it's not called siblings, it's husband and wife."

"Just make fun of it there." Sister Zhao gave Li Na a blank look.

Li Na was still the same as last time, she drank the first glass first, and in her words, the first glass was the worst to drink, and she opened the wine channel in one sip, and then drank it happily.

I also drank the wine.

When I drink, I like to drink Manjiu. I think that is the only way to taste the wine.But it's okay to do it one by one, but I don't like it.

Sister Zhao asked: "Brother, can you cook now?"

I said, "Stir-frying can be done, but it's still not up to the level of other chefs, that is, if the dishes are cooked, sometimes the heat can't be controlled well."

Sister Zhao asked, "Then how long do you have to cook on the stove?"

It seems that she is more anxious than me.

I said: "Don't worry, just study for two more years at the bottom, practice hard, and don't worry about going to the stove."

"I don't think you're in a hurry for anything, you're not in a hurry to find a partner, you're not in a hurry to cook, I'm in a hurry for you."

"If you are so anxious for him, you will be his wife." Li Na joked.

Sister Zhao said: "I think you are looking for a fight tonight, and you have said it several times."

Li Na said, "I'm not worried for you." Then she said to me, "That's right, brother."

I smiled and didn't speak.

Sister Zhao said to Li Na: "I don't need you to worry about it for me. I can settle my own affairs, so you should worry about yourself." Then she asked: "By the way, you two really can't make up your mind?"

"Then what's the truth? Don't you watch it every day? Can you still live with him like that?" Li Na said: "Just play mahjong, and talk to other women, what a good woman You can do it too, a divorced man who cheats old men of money by playing mahjong, he will follow like that, old men are fucking cheap!"

After speaking, he picked up the wine glass and said to me: "Come on, little brother, have a drink."

I had a drink with her.

Sister Zhao asked: "Na, you said you looked at that girl last time, what does she look like?"

Li Na said: "What kind of person? What kind of person." Then said: "Looks better than me, and she is beautiful, and she will be cheap. That bitch ran away when she saw me that day. If she didn't run away, she would never be spared." Said Wan Wan sighed: "My man can't help but say that he is useless, and he is not used to his temper. Now we have to wait for the court to issue a divorce papers. It will be over soon, and it will be over in six months."

"That's right, leave as soon as you say it." Sister Zhao said.

"I'm still used to him if I don't leave. What's he thinking? Don't you want to live with that woman? Then go there. From now on, the road will go to the sky. I will live my life as usual. I will live better without him. " Li Na said indifferently, very general demeanor.

She asked me: "Little brother, are you right?"

I said, "You're doing the right thing, and I support you mentally."

I raised my glass and touched her.

"Thanks."

After finishing speaking, he took a big sip, then put down the glass and said to me: "I said that your sister Zhao likes you so much, you make people feel comfortable when you talk, Xiaohua, I will find a younger brother tomorrow."

Sister Zhao said, "What are you looking for? Give me my brother."

Li Na said: "You said it, don't be reluctant when the time comes."

The door of the private room opened, and Yaru walked in.She didn't even look at me, and asked Sister Zhao and Li Na with a smile: "Did you call the waiter? What do you need?"

Sister Zhao and Li Na glanced at each other.

Li Na said, "We didn't call the waiter."

"That may be a servant. I'm sorry to bother you. Call me if you need anything."

After speaking, he walked out, and when he left, he gave me a hard look.

After Yaru went out, Sister Zhao said, "We didn't call the waiter either."

Li Na said: "Perhaps they heard it wrong and thought it was us." Then she said to me: "Little brother, your waiters are very polite and of good quality."

"It's okay." I said.

Sister Zhao looked at me and said, "This waiter seems to be the one I said last time that we would go out to eat with us, isn't it?"

I said, "Yes, that's her."

"Then I understand a little bit. She didn't come to ask if we need any services, but to supervise you, isn't she?" Sister Zhao asked me with a smile in her eyes.

"Supervising what I do, maybe she is a servant." I said.

Li Na said: "Hehe, Xiaohua, you are going to have a rival in love, be careful that your younger brother will be snatched away."

Sister Zhao said: "I can't wait for someone to snatch him away. He is so old that he doesn't even have a date." Then she asked me: "Brother, do you like him?"

"I like it." I said honestly.

Sister Zhao said: "If you like it, tell them. Have you told them?"

I didn't know how to answer, so I kept silent.

Sister Zhao said: "When I saw it, I didn't tell them. It's over. Sister told you, you get in touch with them first, do you know how to get in touch?"

Sister Zhao looked at me after speaking, very anxious.

"If you win Xiaohua, you don't need to teach me." Li Na said: "The waiter came in to check the post. Think about it, did they have contact? Not only did they contact each other, but I think they even held hands and hugged each other."

He laughed after he finished speaking.

Sister Zhao said to Li Na: "Don't talk nonsense, I don't know him yet, a woman doesn't even know how to hug him while lying in his arms, and she can still touch—"

Speaking of this, Sister Zhao stopped talking, and her face turned red.

"Hehe, how do you know that women don't know how to hug him when they lie in his arms? Did you see that? Tsk, do you think they are still the same as we were back then, and you feel ashamed when a man pulls his hands down and blushes." Li Na Said: "The family is always open now, and it is normal for the office to rent a house and live together within three days."

After Li Na finished speaking, she looked at Sister Zhao, saw that Sister Zhao was blushing, and asked, "Hey, why are you blushing? I didn't mention you. You're still blushing after all the people here. You're like a little girl."

"Don't talk nonsense." Sister Zhao said.

Sister Zhao told me that if you like someone, you should take the initiative. Girls like to be cared about, and told me to buy some small gifts for them if I have nothing to do, or buy some snacks they like.He also said that it was almost Christmas Eve, and he would take people out for a stroll.

I asked Sister Zhao when Christmas Eve was, and Sister Zhao laughed and said, "Brother, what are you doing? You don't even know what day Christmas Eve is. December 24th, remember, 24th."

I said: "Got it."

Sister Zhao said: "When the time comes, put yourself at attention, don't go out and make people laugh at you."

"Yes." I agreed.

Li Na asked Sister Zhao: "I said Xiaohua, is he your long-lost brother?"

Sister Zhao was taken aback, and asked, "What? My long-lost brother?"

"You're about to overtake his own sister, even her own sister may not be like you." Li Na said.

"I am willing, if you want my brother to find one by himself."

Like the older sisters at home, Sister Zhao cared about me very much.

Sister Zhao and Li Na left after nine o'clock. The two of them went back to Li Na's mother's house together, and went to the Wuai Walk together tomorrow morning.
