The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 358 Why
When Lao Tan returned to the provincial capital, his mother's birthday was three days away.

He said to Lin Yan: "Mom celebrates her birthday, Jia Heng and I will go back."

"Go back for a few days? Jiaheng is still training." Lin Yan said.

"Let him take five days off, come back after celebrating Mom's birthday, and then go back during the Chinese New Year." Old Tan said.

Lin Yan objected to Lao Tan's opinion and said, "Why do you go back and forth, you go back to celebrate his grandma's birthday by yourself, and go back when he celebrates the New Year."

Old Tan was a little angry, but he didn't attack. He asked, "How many days off do you have for Chinese New Year?"

"Thirty release, go to work in the third grade." Lin Yan said: "Don't wait for me, I can't go back."

"I mean, the three of us will go back to celebrate the New Year, so it will look better." Old Tan said.

"Didn't I tell you, I'm on vacation at [-], so I can't go back." Lin Yan was a little impatient, and asked, "We have to go back together, can't you go back with your son?"

Old Tan said, "Why don't you just leave you alone?"

Lin Yan said: "Don't worry about me, I'll go back to my mother."

Old Tan had the urge to hit someone, so he held back, thought for a while, and said: "The three of us go back to celebrate Mom's birthday together, and come back after the birthday, and celebrate the New Year in the provincial capital, do you think this will work?"

Lin Yan was completely impatient, and said: "You can arrange whatever you want, I can't take leave and I can't go back." After speaking, she ignored Lao Tan and went back to the house.

Lao Tan sat on the sofa for a while in a sulky mood, wanting to smoke, but after thinking about smoking and having to quarrel, he gave up.

His son was coming back from training soon, so he got up and went to the kitchen, opened the freezer, saw that there was plenty of meat and vegetables in it, and started cooking.When the meal is almost ready, the son comes back, and the atmosphere at home is better.

During the meal, Lin Yan told her son that he had asked the coach for leave and asked him to go back to celebrate grandma's birthday.The son was very happy and asked her if she would go, but she said no.

"You and your dad went back, the coach gave you four days off, and you came back to continue training. After the new year, you have a competition." Lin Yan said.

"I know, it's for the whole province, B14." The son said.

"What B14?" Old Tan asked.

"The one year old is not allowed to exceed fourteen, I just happen to." Son Jiaheng explained to Old Tan.

"What position do you play?" Old Tan asked.

"Small forward."

"how do you feel?"

"Okay."

Lao Tan looked at his son, who was already taller than him, not like a teenager, but like a big man.

Lin Yan said to Old Tan: "Give him grandma's birthday and ask him to come back. You stay at home for a few more days and accompany the old lady."

Old Tan didn't say anything.

Lin Yan went on to say: "My unit is busy, there is no vacation, and Jiaheng still has to train. The three of us are at home for the New Year, and I will not go back to my mother's house."

Old Tan thought for a while and said, "Okay."

It is impossible for a family of three to go home for the New Year, this old Tan compromised.My mother is at Fifth Sister's, and Fifth Sister has her father-in-law, mother-in-law, and a large family. It is lively and inconvenient for the three members of my family to go back to celebrate the New Year. It is better to go back several times on normal days.

He thought so to comfort himself.Knowing that if you persist, you will quarrel, and in the end it will be the result, which is unnecessary.

Can you sit down calmly and have a good talk?It seems impossible, as Wang Shulan said: Freezing three feet does not happen in a day.

After eating, Lin Yan cleaned up the dishes and went back to the living room. Seeing Lao Tan drinking Chinese medicine, she asked what was wrong with her body.Lin Yan didn't ask any more questions, and was about to go back to the house.

He stopped at the door, turned around and said, "You drink less, if you can't do it, quit."

Old Tan hummed.

"What do you not know about yourself? No one cares about you. Don't drink when you go back, take your medicine with you."

"Ah."

"Tell you to take care of yourself, my son has just entered junior high school—if he is sick, he should be treated quickly, don't wait for it to become a big one——" Lin Yan said, implying that no one will take care of you when you are seriously ill, and you have an underage son .

Old Tan was angry, he glanced at Lin Yan, and said, "Aren't we still a couple?"

"No." Lin Yan said with certainty.

"Okay, not a couple."

"Didn't I tell you earlier, you live yours, I live mine, no one cares." Lin Yan finished speaking and was about to enter the house.

"Do you think this is interesting?" Old Tan asked in a raised voice without suppressing his anger.

"It doesn't matter if it's interesting or not, that's what I want. Don't think that I don't know what you're doing outside, but I just don't want to talk about it—well, I don't want to quarrel with you, I'm going to sleep."

Lin Yan entered the room, and Old Tan stood there for a long time.

half a day -

To be honest, he didn't even know what he was thinking standing there.

It is right to say that he is a guilty conscience, because the scene with Wang Shulan and the scene with Zhang Li did appear before his eyes, all of which happened in reality.

As a man with a family and a business, it is irresponsible for these things to happen, and it is indeed cheating.Don't look for reasons, no matter what your daughter-in-law treats you, if you do this, you will be sorry for others.

He wondered if Lin Yan had done something wrong to him?This idea was rejected as soon as it was born.She said in her heart: No, she won't, she only has her son and family in her heart, and her son is everything to her, she has no time to spend on other men.

Also, she is not beautiful, she is just an ordinary person, thrown in the crowd and no one notices.She is a female man, and she is crazier than men in doing work. Who would like it?
Besides, she didn't have time. It took her a day to go to work in the morning, and she had no chance to go home after get off work to take care of the children.

He still wanted to think about it, but he shivered involuntarily.

Is it right to think of your own wife like this?

I have a woman outside, feel ashamed in my heart, and wonder if my wife has a man outside, to find a psychological balance, is it human?
Is it human?
This is the first time he digs into his heart because of the matter between husband and wife. To be honest, he is a little scared-when did he become so dirty?I doubt whether my daughter-in-law is someone outside or not.

He asked himself, but dared not answer——
Lin Yan did not deviate from the law, if there were, it would not be like this.

And myself——
If you want to be unknown to others, you must do nothing yourself.

Old Tan suddenly became weak, limp as if he had been cramped, and returned to his room weakly.

There is a bed and a desk in the room, and there are computers and teapots on the desk.

He sat down in front of the desk, very weak, and the pictures of Wang Shulan and Zhang Li were playing back in his head——
Both of them are more beautiful, gentle, and understanding than Lin Yan, and they have an affair with themselves, but—they can't replace Lin Yan, although they can't say why, they can't.

Do you still have love with Lin Yan?
It seems like it's gone long ago, and it's already a stranger, but why every time I come back, I feel that this is a home when she is there, and it feels empty when she's not there?

She is here, sleeping in separate rooms is angry but at ease; she is not there, hugging a beautiful woman is ambiguous but flustered.

Why?
