The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 130 Yaru Nursing Laotan
The arrival of Yanhua and Yaru made Lao Tan both happy and surprised.It is of course a pleasure to have someone come to visit, and it will give you psychological comfort.What surprised me was how Yaru came.

After seeing Lao Tan's injury, Yanhua and Yaru felt relieved after knowing that it was nothing serious, and said some words of comfort.

"Is this the second time you were injured because of the decoration? I don't know what to pay attention to." Yaru said with a slight complaint.

Old Tan smiled.

Yanhua asked in surprise, "When did you get hurt?"

Lao Tan said: "In the Rose Hotel on Taishan Road, it is also a decoration. When putting on the big glass, the belly of my finger was crushed."

"Didn't I hear you say that?" Yanhua asked.

"Small injury, ignore it—"

The two sat for a while, then Yanhua went to the restaurant with Zhang Yu, and Yaru stayed.

"How is the restaurant?" Old Tan asked.

Yaru sat down on the chair beside the bed and said, "It's all good, there's nothing wrong with it."

"Did Yanhua ask you to come?" Old Tan asked.

"Well, he said that you were injured, so he surprised me and told me to come and take care of you. Does it hurt now?" Yaru asked with concern.

"It doesn't hurt so much, it's okay, my skin is smooth, and I'm getting better soon."

"You—" Yaru looked at Lao Tan helplessly, and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

"have eaten."

"What do you want to eat tonight? There's no place to cook here, have you been shopping for the past two days?"

"Well. If you don't want to eat anything, a bowl of noodles will do."

Yaru looked under the bed, she was looking for a urinal, but she couldn't find it, and asked, "Why are you going to the bathroom?"

Old Tan smiled and said, "Don't you still have a leg, then—" Old Tan pointed to the crutch behind the door and said, "Take crutches."

"Oh——" Yaru withdrew his gaze from the crutches and said, "It's good that you haven't hurt your bones, and you can be discharged from the hospital after the stitches are removed."

"Yes--"

Yaru stood up and took out the towel from the bag, asked where the bathroom was, then went out to the bathroom to wet the towel, and asked Old Tan to wipe his face when he came back.

"I won't leave when I come. When you recover from your injury, go directly to the restaurant and get familiar with the kitchen." Yaru said.

"It's just right, let's recruit some dumpling workers first, and you will train them." Old Tan said.

"The people here are all Mongolians?" Yaru asked.

"There are also Han people, but there are not many Mongolian people."

"Can they understand what they're saying?"

"It's okay, speak slowly and understand."

"I saw it on the street just now. The air here is good, and it looks bright, but it is a bit dry. The street is spacious and bright. I see there are mountains in the north, which are quite high." Yaru said.

"Well, Daqing Mountain belongs to the Yinshan Mountains." Old Tan said.

"Is the hotel far from here?"

"Not far, two kilometers."

Yanhua and Zhang Yu arrived at the hotel and were very satisfied with the location and decoration of the hotel.

Mr. Xiang was at the scene, and the three of them chatted for a while.

Looking at the restaurant Yanhua being renovated, I feel a little emotional.Unexpectedly, I became the boss and even took the business out of town.This was something she hadn't expected at all, but there was no doubt that it was real.

She didn't even think about it.

In more than three years, the dumpling restaurant has grown from one to three like a dream, and the business of each family is booming.I have also changed from a housewife to a restaurant owner, as if I did nothing.

Everything is natural and smooth.

More than three years have passed in an instant, and now he is worth millions, which is a bit unreal.

At this moment, her heart was hit by a surge of excitement, and it felt like a dream for a while.

Yes, who would have thought that a weak housewife turned out to be the owner of four stores?Those who have not experienced it will not understand the mood at this time.

Success, joy, excitement, incredible, but real existence.

She didn't know, her body trembled a little because of the uncontrollable excitement, her hands were clenched so hard that her nails almost sank into the flesh.

Destiny is so unbelievable.

When I was kicked out of the house by my brother and sister-in-law with supercilious eyes, I was so lonely and unaccompanied.Working outside alone, miserable and helpless, I feel like the most miserable person in the world.

At the age of nineteen, she married a man with a family, naively thought it was love, and she was pregnant with a child.When he was beaten by the man's wife and rushed to the street, he felt that the whole world was gloomy, and thought of death——
At that time, I really felt that there was no hope, and it was better to die than to live.

But death is also difficult.

Did not die, knocked out the child alone.I spent the ten darkest days in my life lonely, painful, and helpless in a small hotel. It was a painful memory in my life that I didn’t want to bring up. Sometimes I even hoped that it was not true, and I never experienced it at all.

Fortunately, it's all over--
After experiencing the struggle of being a good woman or a bad woman in her heart, she came to the provincial capital alone in a daze.Unexpectedly, I met Lao Tan, a man who was as miserable as himself but did not succumb to fate.

Yes, Lao Tan is undoubtedly the noble person in his life. He shines into his gloomy life like a ray of warm sunshine, and makes the dead heart that has lost hope and courage find its direction again, and warms up, and has a new understanding of life. confidence.

It was an unforgettable day, full and enjoyable.That is, those days quietly changed me and became the most precious memory in my life.

After that, good luck starts to accompany me.

As a nanny, I met a kind old lady who treated me like my own daughter, found a good man, Lao Deng, and had a warm home.

What I didn't expect was that fate made me meet Lao Tan again, and even opened a restaurant and became the owner——
The short memory made Yanhua's heart restless for a long time.

His thoughts were rolling up and down like raging waves, his whole body was in a state of excitement, and his eyes were filled with tears——
Slowly, I calmed down my mood, the flush caused by excitement subsided quietly, and returned to the usual indifference.

"Now that the electricity capacity has been increased, the Food and Drug Administration has also said hello. It will be checked in two days, and it will be formalized. The fire department has also said hello, and the approval will come soon." Zhang Yu said.

"Mr. Zhang has worked hard. You are familiar with Hushi, so you should worry more." Yanhua said with a smile.

"It's hard work, I should do business at home. In fact, I really don't worry about it. It's all about Master Tan's work, and I'm just running errands. When talking with the Electricity Bureau, Fire Bureau, and Food and Drug Administration, it's Yanzi who starts. I just introduce , acting as an intermediary." Zhang Yu said.

"Mr. Zhang is humble. You have a lot of contacts in Hohhot. I know that because of your face. Hohhot is no better than the provincial capital. I don't know the place where Yanzi lives, so I have to rely on you. By the way, and Yanzi When will you two do business, I'm waiting for your wedding candy." Yanhua said.

Zhang Yu smiled embarrassedly, and said, "Take it easy, wait until the store opens."

"My Swallow is absolutely devoted to you. You can't bully her. Let me tell you, there are people in our natal family." Yanhua half-joked.

"No, how dare you bully me? It's good if she doesn't bully me."

The two laughed.

Yanhua changed the subject and asked, "Is there an apartment nearby?"

"Have."

"Rent one to Lao Tan, he will always come here from now on, he needs a place to live. Also, is the dormitory for the former staff still there?" Yanhua asked.

"The staff dormitory has been withdrawn and has to be rented again." Zhang Yu replied.

"Let's rent it. It's just that the store is being renovated, and the bedroom is also decorated, and it's upright. Install the water heater and network in advance, buy the washing machine, and pay the company's account." A smile that could not be refused said softly: "Old Tan is hospitalized, don't worry about these things, and you have to trouble Mr. Zhang, who has led me to rent the house for the past two days."

"Okay, you're still thoughtful."

At this time, Yanhua already had the aura of a superior person.Arranging things in an orderly manner, the words are very appropriate, so that people can't resist resistance, and they are happy to do what she explained.

How should I put it, Yanhua didn't deliberately arrange who would do what, she just felt that this should be done in this way, and only the people she arranged could do the best, so she arranged it naturally.And often this kind of unintentional arrangement is more acceptable, coupled with Yanhua's unique tranquility and indifference, it has an unexpected effect.

That night, Zhang Yu asked Yanhua to eat roasted lamb chops and roasted lamb legs from Hohhot, and asked Yaru to go too, but Yaru said that she didn't like mutton, so she didn't go.After Yanhua and Zhang Yu finished eating, they packed food for Lao Tan and Yaru and took it to the hospital.

There is no escort bed in the ward for the time being, Yanhua and Yaru went back to the hotel to stay.

The next morning, Yaru bought something and came to the hospital early.

After eating breakfast, Lao Tan contacted the owner who sells cooking utensils in the provincial capital and reported the equipment needed for the kitchen.I can't go back to the provincial capital, and I can't delay the kitchen equipment. Fortunately, I have been buying equipment here, and it has become the main road, and I can explain it on the phone.

The tableware has to wait for the legs to go back to the provincial capital to purchase in person.

After ordering the equipment, Lao Tan put down the phone and thought about it, then called Lin Yan and told her that there were many things going on here, and he had to go back in half a month.Lin Yan said whatever she wants, she can go back anytime, she and her son are having a good life, don't worry about it.

I also wanted to ask my son how his studies were going, but Lin Yan said he was busy and hung up the phone.

Lao Tan held the phone in his head for a long time, feeling a little uncomfortable.I thought that if I told Lin Yan that she was injured, she probably wouldn't have any big reaction. At most, she would ask how the injury was, whether it was serious or not, and would not come to take care of it.

But I want to know how my son is doing recently, but he died.It seems that I can only call my son directly after school.

Yaru came in from the outside, holding a washed apple in his hand, and handed one to Old Tan.

Old Tan didn't want to eat, but wanted to smoke a cigarette, so he took the crutch beside the bed.

"Go to the bathroom? I'll help you." Yaru hurried over.

"Don't go to the toilet, go out to smoke a cigarette, get some fresh air," Lao Tan said.

Yaru looked at Lao Tan helplessly, determined not to let him smoke, but couldn't bear to see him suffering, so she stepped forward to support him.

Old Tan was leaning on crutches, and with Yaru's support, he walked out of the ward and slowly walked into the elevator.

Get out of the elevator, move to the flower bed downstairs in the inpatient department, and sit down on a nearby long stool.

It's already May, and the early summer sun is shining warmly on my body, which is very pleasant.The flower bed is green and green, with pink, red, and purple flowers blooming in the green.Not far away is a row of weeping willows, the long branches hang down supplely, swaying gently when the wind blows.

The elder brother in the same ward injured his arm. Accompanied by his wife, he was walking slowly in front of the willow tree, talking while walking, and said something, which caused his wife to smile tenderly.

The impatient and beautiful young nurse wore a skirt, and her two shining long legs under the cover of a white coat made people dream about and linger.

The sky is blue, with a few leisurely white clouds falling, like a sapphire curtain covered with white snow.

Lao Tan took a puff of cigarette enjoying himself, the smoke rose in front of his eyes, was slowly blown away by the wind, and the smell of tobacco wafted in the air.

Yaru beside him took out an apple like magic, took a bite, and ate sweetly.
