The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 233 Children
In Aqiao's new office building, next to Chairman Yanhua's office is Lao Tan's president's office.

Lao Tan hasn't stayed in the office for a few days since the renovation was completed. He spends most of his time in Hohhot, the provincial capital where Yanhua is in charge.

The provincial capital is on the right track and is developing smoothly, so there is nothing to worry about.Everything is like this, it is easy to manage if there are rules and regulations.

Lao Tan did not return to Hohhot immediately after the Dumpling Festival, but stayed in the provincial capital for a few days.

In his office, Yanhua was sitting on the sofa, and the two were talking about choosing a location for the eighth directly-operated store.

"Now there are two places, one is Tawan, and the other is the Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine," Yanhua said.

"The traditional Chinese medicine hospital has a lot of traffic," Lao Tan said.

"I also fell in love with it." Yanhua smiled, "The area is 24 square meters, one floor, [-] a year."

"Very good." Lao Tan nodded, and then said: "After the store in Hohhot opens, I will renovate it. I will first see how the open kitchen works. If it is good, the Chinese Medicine Hospital store will also be renovated."

"I think so too, it should be good to hear from you."

"The decoration over there is finished, come with me to have a look, feel the feelings, and take a look at Yanzi by the way, she is a rare girl."

"I want to go—" Yanhua thought for a while, "Maybe I can't go with you, I have to go to Fushun, and then go to Anshan—you go first, I'll finish the matter here. "

"also."

"Swallow is taking care of the children at home now, and doesn't go to the restaurant to see around," Yanhua asked.

"Sometimes I go—she is happy now, a full-time mother." Old Tan laughed.

Speaking of the child Yanhua is a bit lonely, she also wants one, but she and Lao Deng have been working hard for a long time, but there has been no movement.I also went to the hospital for an examination. The doctor said that both of them are normal and there is nothing wrong with them. The inability to conceive may be due to psychological problems. Of course, there are also factors of age.

"Hey, I'm envious." Yanhua sighed.

"Don't worry, take your time, you can have it too." Old Tan comforted.

Yanhua smiled wryly, and said, "I don't have any hope—by the way, what about the two children that Xiaomei mentioned? I'm really thinking about it."

She was talking about Xiaojun Xiaoying.

"Well—it's good. My brother goes to school and my sister goes to kindergarten. They are very sensible. Every day my brother picks up my sister after school, then I go to Jinqiao restaurant for dinner, and I go home after dinner. My father is an honest man. I can earn two or three hundred a day by doing work, but I can’t even make trips, and it’s around six thousand a month, so I can support my family.” Lao Tan said.

"It's exhausting for an old man to take care of two children—"

"What can you do if you're tired, why don't you have to do it - the two children are well with Xiaomei, she always goes to see her."

Talk about the child, and quickly transferred to Lao Tan's son.

"Jiaheng is really sensible. I took him to training last week and even bought me a bottle of water." Yanhua said.

"Aren't you his godmother? It's normal to buy water." Talking about his son, Lao Tan looked proud.

"Did Jiaheng play basketball? He's handsome, a handsome guy." Yanhua also became happy.

Old Tan said with some embarrassment: "I really haven't seen it—"

"You are unqualified as a father, spend more time with your children." Yanhua criticized.

"Hey, it's unqualified, I'm sorry for the child——"

"You two—Lin Yan treats the child better than you. Whether you are a father or not is the same. Even if Lin Yan doesn't want to talk to you, I would be the same." Yanhua then asked: "Every time you come back Do you really not live in the same room with Lin Yan?"

Old Tan smiled wryly, and said, "Yes, it's been more than ten years, I remember telling you."

"I thought you were lying—you two can't do this, how can there be a husband and wife who don't share the same room? I told you that Jiaheng knew everything, but he didn't tell you that children like you would be affected—" Yanhua said.

Old Tan knows that children are also affected, but this situation is not easy to change. It is not a day's cold to freeze three feet, and it will only wait for time to melt the ice.

"You and Lin Yan are having a good life, but they are both strong, and no one is convinced. You should take the initiative. She is tired enough. She has to work all day and has to take care of her children." Yanhua said.

"Yes—we can only do this now. To be honest, we have been a little strange to each other for more than ten years, and it won't change anytime soon." Old Tan said.

"We can't stay together, the relationship will become weaker and weaker. I saw that you two have a good son, and you divorced early without Jiaheng."

"almost--"

"---"

Old Tan doesn't like to mention these things. He knows that he is a winner outside and a loser at home.From the perspective of life, both Lin Yan and him are very strong, and they are out-and-out people who live their lives.

It's just that he has been working in other places, takes little care of his family, and hardly cares about his children. The only contribution he makes to his family is money. This is the reason for Lin Yan's anger.In addition, the industry in which he is engaged in deals with women, which makes people think too much, which leads to alienation.

Of course, there are also reasons for Lin Yan.She is a stubborn person, and it is difficult to change the decisions she makes. In her opinion, it is fine to have a son, and it doesn't matter whether Lao Tan has one or not.

From the perspective of the sexes, if there is no love between husband and wife for a long time, the relationship will naturally fade. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are strangers living in the same house.Since we are strangers, we can live in peace without interfering with each other.

Lao Tan didn't want to do this, but he didn't change his method, so he could only do so.

As for Lin Yan, Lao Tan also doubted whether she had someone outside, but the suspicion was denied as soon as she had doubts—with Lin Yan's character, if she found someone, she would immediately file for divorce, and she said openly that she had someone I won't be with you anymore.

Because she never does things sloppily, even if she makes a mistake, she makes a mistake to the end.

Like now.

She thinks that the current situation is very good, and Lao Tan will not interfere with each other, live their own lives, and she will be satisfied as long as she sees her son every day.My son brought it by himself since he was a child, but now that he has grown up, it is easy and he is very satisfied.

She thinks that the family can do it by itself, even if there is no Lao Tan, she can raise her son, let him go to college, and tell him that his daughter-in-law can start a family and start a career.I also think of Lao Tan occasionally, but it's not like other women miss their husbands so passionately, and even forget that they have a husband.

Of course, you will be rude when you spend money.Having said that, she doesn't spend money recklessly, and she is qualified, even excellent, in terms of family life.

A woman with a good life and a man who can earn money are supposed to be a good couple together. Unfortunately, due to various reasons, the two are not in harmony. Anyone who knows their real situation knows that the two are no different from passers-by.

Old Tan sometimes thinks, why can't he understand?A company with hundreds of people can understand it, why can't it understand a woman?

I really don't understand.

People are often like this, easy to communicate with outsiders, not easy to communicate with family members, or even unwilling and impatient to communicate.It is often the case that three sentences are not enough to raise an argument, each saying their own reasons, and then doing it immediately, and the communication fails.

One failure comes twice, two failures come three times, and after three times, you will be tired.

Patience is exhausted, the fire of enthusiasm is extinguished, and then let it go, even the desire to talk and fight is gone.

To tell the truth, there are many couples like this, and it is very difficult to improve them. If you don't get a divorce, you can only leave everything to time to solve.

Some people say that there is no energy in living like this, and they should just get a divorce.

Divorce must also have prerequisites, or one party cheated, or the relationship broke down, and it is difficult to survive, otherwise, divorce is rare for people who are over forty and have a lot of children.

The reality is like this, the two of them experienced wind and rain together, from nothing to contentment, saying that there is no relationship is a lie, there is still a foundation.In addition, the child is the joint effort of the two, and there is no difference in the treatment of the child. Sometimes I can bear it when I see the child has a lot of troubles.

You can say harsh words about divorce, but you don't have the heart to do it.

Who will the divorced children live with?
Say you want everything, no one will give up.

How to divide the family?
We can't bear to dismantle what we built together.

Let it go as long as you can, it seems to make do, but it is actually the norm, every family is like this.

The husband and wife life between the sexes can be lived, but it is not the whole of life.

Although Lao Tan was angry at Lin Yan's indifference to him, sometimes he even wanted to find a woman to end this ascetic life.But he is also satisfied that he can work hard outside without any worries, mainly because he can rest assured of his family. Lin Yan can take good care of his family and his son, so he can let go of his hands and feet.

If it were a prodigal woman, she would not live so peacefully, and it would be impossible to create Aqiaolai.

There are good and bad in everything, how can everything go smoothly.

I was angry with my wife at home, felt that my wife was not good, and wanted to change her.After turning someone else's wife into your own wife, you will still be angry, even worse than your own wife who has become someone else's wife.

Don't always think about your child's own good and your wife's good for others. You should think about it the other way around. If you don't have such a good wife, how can you have such a good child?Can other people's wives give birth to such a good child?
