The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 43 Time Healing
On the first day of the National Day, Li Wanshan, the head of Tianyitun Village, Feng Shimin, the secretary, Yanzi, and Yanhua went to a Kanto family for dinner.

Both Li Wanshan and Feng Shimin knew that Lao Tan didn't work here, and Yanhua was still working as a cleaner in the village, so he told them about it.

Yanhua and Lao Deng are still in the cold war stage, but it has eased much more than before.After all these years of living together, the feelings are still there.

Lao Deng made a serious mistake and felt deeply guilty towards Yanhua.

If a man does not make mistakes, he will have to bear the consequences and the punishment of his wife.

It is not a short time for the two of them to return to their previous state.Other diseases are easy to cure, but once the heart is injured, it is difficult to cure.

Although the two still live under the same roof, outsiders can't see any difference.But there was a rift in the relationship between the two, and the estrangement was like a wall invisible between the two people, resulting in indifference and unfamiliarity.

Yanhua would see that coquettishly dressed woman from time to time, and every time she appeared, she felt uncomfortable and hated Lao Deng by the way.

We can only give time to heal this kind of double pain from emotion and heart.

As the days go by slowly, it is enough to know some things in my heart.If Lao Deng had no feelings for Yanhua, and really loved the new and disliked the old, then when Yanhua found out that he was cheating, he would take the initiative to file for divorce and go with that woman.

In his heart, no one can take Yanhua's place.But I really didn't resist the temptation, didn't control the things in my crotch, and made a low-level mistake.

It can only be rehabilitated.

Fortunately, Yanhua didn't file for divorce, and she didn't fight or fight, but the excellent service before was gone.

Lao Deng returned home every day to cook by himself, wash clothes by himself, and pack his suitcases when he was on a business trip.

Whenever I lay on the cold bed, I would think of the good old days - my wife snuggled her warm body into her arms and murmured what happened that day.

Holding his plump wife in his arms, he turned himself into a 20 years old boy.

These benefits are gone, everything is self-inflicted.

Now I can only serve in prison like a criminal, in order to ask my wife for leniency.

Although Yanhua has not forgiven Lao Deng yet, it is uncomfortable to see him cooking clumsily when he gets home from get off work every day, making the pots on the ground and the bowls on the ground. dark.

What is a man?A man is just a bird. It is safe to keep him in a cage all day long, but he longs for the outside world. One day he accidentally opens the cage, and he may fly out and never come back.

A man is just a child. When he looks at a man who is showing off his power outside, he is no different from an ignorant child when he gets home. It seems that he can't take care of himself and can only be taken care of by his wife.

When a child makes a mistake, he is a good child if he can correct the mistake.

Since she didn't want a divorce, she continued to live with this man. Although the knot in her heart couldn't be solved for a while, as a woman, her tenderness and kindness made her feel soft when she saw Lao Deng's embarrassment and humiliation.

She is not a woman who can be cruel.

Gradually, he left a mouthful of the food he cooked for Lao Deng, and put it on the dining table intentionally or unintentionally. When he went out to wash his face and brush his teeth and was about to go to bed, he found that Lao Deng had finished the food he had left and washed the dishes and chopsticks. Clean and neatly placed in the cupboard.

Whenever I see this, I bitterly say in my heart, starve to death you bastard, I used to ask you to help wash the dishes and refused to do it, but now it's good, I know I'm hungry, and I know how to wash the dishes.

A person's change is subtle, even silent, and it is difficult for people who don't care to find out.

But for a couple living together, any slight changes in one of them will be clearly perceived by the other.

Yanhua knew that Lao Deng stopped drinking now and had less entertainment after get off work, and it wasn't a special case that he returned home on time at [-]:[-] every day.

Lao Deng seldom did housework before. When he got home, he would wash his hands and eat, then sit on the sofa, drink tea and watch TV, and then feed the arhats in the fish tank.

Now I know how to clean the table and mop the floor, water the flowers on the window sill, know how to buy oil, rice, and noodles, and sometimes bring back my favorite sauced chicken feet on the way home from get off work.

These things were very difficult to happen in the past, and they all happened after repeated grinding.

People's hearts are fleshy. As the saying goes, they are forgiving and forgiving, let alone a couple living under the same roof.

When the woman's heart softens, leave the rest to time to soothe.

The four of them were very dissatisfied with the meal at the Kanto family. The food was not as good as before, and the little tofu they wanted was gone.

"How is brother Tan doing in Inner Mongolia now?" he asked Yanhua.

Yanhua said, "I don't know too well, but I know that he hasn't called in Inner Mongolia."

Feng Shimin said to Li Wanshan: "Call Lao Tan and ask what's going on."

He had a good impression of Lao Tan.

Li Wanshan picked up his mobile phone and called Lao Tan, and the two chatted for a while.Lao Tan briefly introduced Gan Qika's situation to him, and talked about the customs and customs there and how delicious the grilled lamb leg and grilled lamb chops are.Li Wanshan became interested, and after knowing that he could stay there, he decided to take a tour and feel the atmosphere of the grassland.

In fact, Lao Tan has never seen the real grassland until now.

Li Wanshan put down the phone and said to the other three people: "There is nothing to do on National Day, let's go to Brother Tan's for two days and eat roasted whole lamb."

This proposal was immediately approved by Yanzi, and Lao Feng also expressed his support. Yanhua hesitated for a while, and agreed with Yanzi's instigation.

Seeing Yanhua's promise, Yanzi said by the way, "Yanhua, Lao Deng will be on holiday for the National Day. Take him with you."

Yanhua said, "Don't take him."

Swallow said: "Look at you, you can't get over it anymore. Old Deng is a good person. I just took this opportunity to relax and get over it."

Feng Shimin was more stable, and said to Yanhua: "Bring Lao Deng with you, I haven't had a drink with him yet, it just so happens that the three of us go out to have a good time."

Li Wanshan said in a loud voice: "Yanhua, you call Lao Deng, and I also lead the tigress, it's a holiday, you must have fun."

Yanhua didn't directly agree, but she also had something in her heart, and she wanted to go back and tell Lao Deng that he would go if he wanted to, and he didn't want to drag him down.

Although the food was not ideal, there was nothing wrong with the wine. The four of them chatted while drinking, and somehow ended up in the restaurant.Yanzi said that when she was laid off, she wanted to open a small restaurant to support herself, but she didn't open it due to various reasons, and she was a little regretful.

Feng Shimin approves of Yanzi very much, and the two are living happily now, like a happy half-way couple.He told Yanzi that if he wanted to do it, he could open one, and he strongly supported it.

Yanzi has nothing to do at home every day. She used to go to the mahjong club to pass the time, but now she can only stay at home.

When people are bored, they always want to find something to do.

Now she understands why Yanhua is looking for a job.

Lao Feng supports opening a restaurant by himself, but he is a little worried that he will not be able to do it alone. He is not as aggressive as he was when he was young.

It's okay to talk about it, and you can talk about it, and you don't have much confidence when you really want to do it.

Thinking that Yanhua had worked in a restaurant before, he said, "Yanhua, how about we set up a small restaurant? It will save you time and nothing to do."

Yanhua didn't get along much, felt that Yanzi was joking, and asked, "Are you capable? Working in a restaurant is a worry."

Swallow said: "It's better than waiting. Lao Feng invests, we do it, and it's not big. The small restaurant doesn't have much money, so how can we pay for it? Besides, we can still pay for it? Your old Deng leads People, Lao Feng and Lao Li also lead people, and the three of them will not be able to pay."

This woman is very calculating, and she has calculated all the men in the family.

The same is true for small restaurants, all relying on friends to support them.

The more Yanzi talked, the more excited she became, as if the restaurant had already opened.Yanhua was a little moved by what she said, so let's discuss it together.The two gradually talked about where to choose a location, what kind of food to open, and what kind of food to sell.

The two women talked vigorously, and the two men couldn't help but join in, so the matter of opening the restaurant was decided temporarily.

Li Wanshan said: "We always go to restaurants to eat and go. We don't know the detailed rules. The restaurant earns and loses money. We have to find someone who understands and explain it to us. We can't do it blindly."

Feng Shimin said: "Isn't there any ready-made one to find someone who understands? Let's go to Lao Tan for two days and ask him to plan it out. He has cleaned up the restaurant, and he understands better than us."

So it is imperative to visit Ganqika.

Often the promotion of a major event is caused by a small matter that I didn't care about at the beginning, such as a word, an idea, a suggestion and so on.For example, Haidilao, Mr. Zhang Yong opened a small malatang shop at the beginning. The name of the shop is that when his lover was playing mahjong, Haidilao got a lot of big cards, so it got its name.Who would have known that after 30 years, it would become a well-known hot pot brand in the country.

When Yanhua got home, she made the meal before [-]:[-], and wanted to eat it by herself first, and after thinking about it, she decided to wait for Lao Deng to come back and eat together.

When Lao Deng got home, he found his wife was waiting for him to eat, and he was so happy that he almost carried himself away.But seeing his wife still doesn't look at him directly as usual, she knows that she can't be unrestrained, she can cook for herself, and it's amnesty for her to eat.

So he sat down in trepidation, excited, and started to eat with a flattering expression on his face.

Neither of them spoke, and each ate their own meal. Sometimes when they reached out their chopsticks to pick up the same dish at the same time, Lao Deng quickly retracted his chopsticks and let his wife pick up the same dish first.

Yanhua wasn't too polite, she picked up the vegetables and put them in a bowl, she still had a cold expression on her face, but her heart had already softened.

When the meal was almost finished, Yanhua seemed to inadvertently ask, "Are you guys on vacation?"

"It's a holiday for seven days." Old Deng answered quickly, his voice trembling.

"Swallow said to travel, if you have time, go there, if you don't have time, don't go." Yanhua said.

"Yes, yes." Lao Deng excitedly said two words, and then asked, "When are you leaving?"

Under normal circumstances, you should ask when you are leaving, where you are going, and who is there, but at this time, Lao Deng has been dazzled by the sudden joy. Just bring yourself, this is the best chance to relax with your wife.

Yanhua glanced at Lao Deng with a calm expression, and said, "Leave on the [-]nd, pack up." After she finished speaking, she added another sentence, which was obviously aimed at Lao Deng's head: "Tomorrow you go to cut your hair. .”

Lao Deng hurriedly nodded in agreement.

A stone that had been pressing on my body for more than three months was removed, and the dark cloud that had been hovering over my head also dispersed.

There is the openness and ease of seeing the blue sky through the clouds and mists, and there are even two hot things in the eyes.

Although Yanhua went back to her room without looking back after she finished speaking, our old Deng was still moved.His wife's behavior today is undoubtedly sending a signal to herself-it seems that she has not forgiven, but in fact she has forgiven.

Just as Lao Deng thought, Yanhua's kind heart once again radiated his wife's tenderness to him.
