The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 379 What is happiness
Every family has its own story, which is not the same. There are ups and downs in the joys and sorrows, which are collectively called days.

The quality of life of ordinary people is mostly measured by money. Although it is materialistic, daily necessities, rice, oil, salt, food, food, external use, human relations, children’s schooling, married buns, retirement——etc. Money speaks for itself.

Money is not everything, but without money is absolutely impossible.

Some people say that a loyal woman will not cheat, no matter how much money she gives.That is to give less, give more, try more to the extent that although the mind does not move, the body moves casually.

The same is true for men in turn, Doumi can bow down.

Having said that, it is understandable to use money to measure the quality of life, but whether you are happy or not is not a matter of more money or less money, it has to do with mentality.

This is Lao Tan's perception after reaching the age of [-], and it is also a summary of the experience of the first half of his life.

He knows that he is incomparable with the ancient sages, wise men and wise men, and does not have such great wisdom; he is also incomparable with today's philosophers, scholars, experts and professors, and has not so much knowledge.

You can't compare with your friends, peers, and relatives around you. You all live your own life. It's enough to compare with the top and have more than the bottom.

Aqiao's success is a blessing in his career, so he can be proud of it.But every time I think of my family and my relationship with Lin Yan, I feel unattractive and feel a decadent sense of failure.

He originally wanted to take advantage of the Chinese New Year to relax, but when Lin Yan's ankle healed and she started working in the third year of junior high, she returned to the past.As if Lin Yan's unit had magic, it brought her back to the original place.

According to normal analysis, if a woman behaves like this, it proves that there is someone out there, that there is another man who treats her well and gives her the love that her husband cannot, or replaces her husband.

Lao Tan also thought so, but immediately denied it.

He knew Lin Yan, even better than Lin Yan herself.

If Lin Yan has an affair, she will divorce immediately, whether you like it or not.She would rather leave the house without asking for anything, than live a life of pretending to hide it.

But why go back to the past?
Lao Tan is not puzzled, his mind is like a mirror.

Freezing three feet does not happen in a day. It has been like this for these years, how can I change it immediately?In addition, from Lin Yan's attitude towards Zhang Li, it can be seen that she is still taboo-since your old Tan has touched other women, don't even try to touch me.

Although I didn't grasp the current situation of the two of them, I already thought so in my heart, and it became a fact.

As a wife, once she recognizes her husband's infidelity as a fact, even if it is a guess, it will be regarded as true, and it will form a knot that is difficult to untie.As time goes by, the pimple becomes tighter and tighter and cannot be untied, and it becomes a heart disease.

As the saying goes, the heart disease makes the diaphragm respond, that's all.

On the evening of the fifth day of the lunar new year, when Lin Yan got off work, Lao Tan cooked the meals, and his son Jiaheng went to his grandma's house, and the couple ate.

"I'm leaving tomorrow. I will go to Hohhot first, then Suzhou, and then Changsha. It will take another three months." Old Tan said.

"Come on, don't tell me."

Lin Yan's lukewarm attitude made Lao Tan angry, and he said, "You can't say good things."

"Is it okay for me to say that? Isn't it right?" Lin Yan asked.

"Yes, it's all right. I'm also redundant, so I shouldn't have told you."

"In the future, you should come back and take a walk. Don't tell me, and I don't care about it." Lin Yan was still lukewarm, "I have a son at home--by the way, my son will go out to play games after school and go to Dandong. Provincial league, half a month, 10,000 yuan."

"Students spend their own money to play games now?" Old Tan asked puzzled.When he was in school, the school spent money to play games, and the team uniforms were also distributed by the school.

"Why don't you spend your own money?" Lin Yan showed no interest in Lao Tan's ignorance, and continued: "You still have to pay the training fee, [-] a year. Your son gets five pairs of sneakers a year, and he doesn't dare to buy expensive ones. , the expensive pair is more than two thousand."

Old Tan didn't say anything, he knew about this situation, and he also recognized it, who would make his son like it.

The cost of supporting a sports student is three times that of an ordinary student, and the average family really cannot afford it.Fortunately, Lao Tan earns a lot of money, and Lin Yan also has a high salary, so there is no burden.

Now Lin Yan seldom asks Lao Tan for money, and the two are relatively independent financially, but the financial power is still in Lin Yan's hands, and Lao Tan doesn't ask.

To be honest, he is not good at living. All these years, he has been the shopkeeper, and he doesn't care about anything.

"I see that his shoes are all in good condition, and they can be worn without any damage." Old Tan said.

"If you want to wear it, you can wear it. He plays golf all day long, and the soles of his shoes have been worn out in two months. Are they not damaged, and are they not easy to slip and fall?" Lin Yan said.

As soon as Lao Tan thought about that, he stopped talking.

After eating, the two washed up one after another. When they were about to go back to their respective rooms, Lao Tan tentatively said, "I will sleep in your room."

"Why sleep in my house? Why don't you have a house?" Lin Yan flatly refused.

"Aren't you a couple?" Old Tan said with a smile.

"We are a couple, but we can't sleep together, I agree. It depends on who can sleep with whom, I don't care, if you can't find a lady."

"If you have a wife, what kind of lady do you want?"

"Humph! Humph!" Lin Yan sneered, "Don't think I don't know what you're doing outside, you'll be honest if I don't tell you."

"You mean I have someone outside?" Old Tan became angry.

"You said it yourself, I didn't say it." After Lin Yan finished speaking, she went back to the room and closed the door.

Old Tan looked at the closed door, and suddenly remembered what Li Ge said yesterday when he was drinking at his old neighbor Li Ge's house. thing.They didn't even say a word for a day, they were tired of seeing each other, and they lay back to back in bed, so it's better to sleep in their own rooms.

The young Jiang Runping asked, "Don't you want to do something?"

"How old do you want to be? Besides, look at how many people are working with their old women, aren't they all with Tiezi." Brother Li said through Jiu Jin.

"Do you have any irons? Old Li." Jiang Runping asked.

"Everyone has a iron man, and he is a master if he doesn't leak it. A man without iron is worse than a turtle. I haven't heard people say that living with a wife and doing business with a iron man, and flirting with a lady for massage enjoyment.

Men are under a lot of pressure to support their families and parents, and they work all year round, and the money is never enough.I was scared when I went home, so I kept all the cards, and I had 20 yuan in my pocket, and I could only pocket money.The daughter-in-law looked at it coldly, she was not as good as a pet dog, she could only go outside, there are irons everywhere. "

Brother Li's jingle rhymes with the same pattern, but it is also the basic reality of men today.

He concluded: "Don't look at it like this. When will the couple be a couple? If they can't break up or break up, they will live a lifetime. No matter how good the iron is, it's just that when you are depressed, drink and chat with you, and don't sleep. , have comfort for each other.

The old men play well outside, knowing that home is home and outside is outside.No matter how hard a daughter-in-law can look after your house, no matter how hard Tie Zi can watch over you to live.If you are a Tiezi, you should look for a partner of the opposite sex or a spiritual partner, not for real. "

Old Tan asked curiously about the current situation of him and his sister-in-law. He said that they are old husband and wife, what can they do?The child is not at home, the couple go to each class and take care of each stall, and no one interferes with the other. They live in the east and west houses, and they can have a meal together for three days without talking much.

"I have a drinking party almost every day after get off work. The team members and brothers are very good. You invite him today, he invites you tomorrow, and I invite you the day after tomorrow. It doesn't cost much. It's all small restaurants that drink bad wine.

Life is so stressful, and I am very tired after working all day, so I can relax with some wine.Brothers are talking nonsense and gossiping, and go home to sleep in a daze.Your sister-in-law doesn't care, every day is yoga. If I drink too much, I will make a pot of tea and have millet porridge to drink the next morning. "

"Old Li, you are still lucky." Jiang Runping said enviously.

Brother Li said like a philosopher: "Do you know what happiness is? Happiness is no matter how much you drink, the wife will always be by your side."
