The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 430
Lin Yan fell asleep at some point.

When I woke up the next morning, I felt my hair was heavy and my throat was uncomfortable, as if I was going to catch a cold.When I brushed my teeth and washed my face, I saw in the mirror that my eyes were red, the circles under my eyes were dark, the crow's feet around my eyes increased significantly, and bags under my eyes appeared.

She couldn't believe that the person in the mirror was herself.

She stood still and watched for a long time.

Lin Yan is a strong person at heart. Looking at herself in the mirror, she felt that she couldn't be so listless. Isn't it just 200,000 yuan?Can't survive?

What to do.

When I thought this way, my heart became much brighter, and at the same time, I discounted my decision to divorce Lao Tan last night——and I didn't want to.

My heart said to hit the ground first, then think about it, I was a little confused last night, not sober.

Next, I made breakfast for my son, called my son to get up, put on my clothes, packed up and went downstairs to work.

November NO.11, Double Eleven, Singles' Day in the new era.

I have to admire the marketing methods of the merchants. It was a normal day, but because the four numbers are all sticks, it was hyped into a festival. Daily sales have risen in a straight line, breaking through [-].

This is a day of crazy shopping, and it is also a day of passion for single men and women. It is said that all the hotel rooms in the country are full that day, and I don’t know if it is true or not.We dare not say, and we dare not ask.

Double Eleven is also a good day for Yaru, she accepted Zhao Min as an apprentice seriously on this day.

Yaru doesn't like to make noise, and even less like to deal with those imaginary, so the ceremony of accepting apprentices is very simple.

After get off work that day, Yaru carried Zhao Min back to the courtyard and cooked a table of dishes in Lao Tan's room. The witnesses invited Lao Tan, Gu Yi, and Sister Wang.

Before moving chopsticks, Zhao Min knelt on the ground and respectfully kowtowed three times to Yaru, and called Master, this apprentice will be accepted.

What moved Lao Tan, Gu Yi, and Sister Wang was that when Zhao Min finished kowtowing and raised his face, the child's face was full of tears, his voice was trembling, and the "Master" was touching, distressing, and tearful- ——
Yaru's tears fell instantly, and she hurried forward to help Zhao Min up and put her in her arms, tears filled the eyes of master and apprentice.

Sister Wang couldn't stand this, so she wiped her tears, and the two big men, Lao Tan and Gu Yi, also had sore noses——
Yaru was in a good mood after accepting his apprentice. He let go of the alcohol he had suppressed for more than ten years and drank heavily with Lao Tan and the others until he was finally helped back to sleep by his apprentice.

After seeing off Gu Yi and Sister Wang, Lao Tan was about to go to bed, when Lin Yan called.

Lin Yan didn't say anything about borrowing money on the phone. She first asked Lao Tan where he was and how he was doing. After Lao Tan answered, he asked Lao Tan when he would return to the provincial capital.Lao Tan said that a culinary competition will be held on the 25th. After the competition, he will go to Hohhot, then to Beijing, and finally return to the provincial capital for the New Year.

Lin Yan on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, and then said, "I'm bankrupt."

Old Tan was taken aback, not understanding what Lin Yan meant when he said he was bankrupt, and asked, "What bankrupt?"

"I'm laid off, so I won't work there anymore," Lin Yan said.

That's what happened.Lin Yan and his company upgraded the management, and the boss invited a senior manager from Beijing to be the executive general manager.After the general manager took office, he made personnel adjustments, and Lin Yan was laid off today.

To be honest, this hit Lin Yan hard. She just lost her 200,000 yuan, and then she was laid off after a month.

She originally planned to work hard, take a few orders every month to earn some extra money, and slowly plug up the 200,000. Who would have thought that would happen.

When people are unlucky, they blame everything. If you don’t blame the sky and the earth, you can blame yourself and others. It’s easy to think in a wrong way and add up to the bad.

Lin Yan blamed the new general manager for her layoff. If the new manager does not come, she will not be laid off, nor will she lose her money.Now Lao Tan is making money alone, and he treated Lao Tan like that before——
Thinking of Lao Tan, she made a plan again, she treated him like that, different rooms and different beds, cold brows, would he have someone outside?What if someone?Divorce or not?

Or say that people can't add up blindly, once they add up blindly, they will reflect on what they think to be true, and take it seriously.

Zhang Li came to Lin Yan's mind when Lin Yan thought about whether there would be anyone outside Lao Tan, and the scene where she went upstairs and met Zhang Li going downstairs the year before last also clearly appeared in her mind.

It was a thorn in her heart.

Her heart was churning, and she temporarily forgot about being laid off.

After the turmoil in her heart subsided, she gradually calmed down, and comforted herself: They are fine now, Zhang Li is married, it is impossible to be together again.

But on second thought, if there is no Zhang Li, will there be Li Li and Wang Li?And that Yaru, they are first love.

He is surrounded by almost all women, and they are all beautiful. How can he be honest?How can there be a cat that does not eat fishy.

To be honest, Lin Yan hadn't thought about Lao Tan so carefully before, and felt that Lao Tan's bandit head was scary if he didn't speak, and he was so thick and fat that no one would like it.

It's different now, I've changed my view of Lao Tan, so I feel that everything is possible.

I was laid off, and my husband betrayed me and had a woman outside, no one could stand it.Thinking about it, my heart became very angry, and the word divorce popped out of my head by accident.

She couldn't wait to take out the phone and dial it.

The moment after dialing it out, there was a sudden sound in my head: This is all guessed by myself——

She was about to hang up, but it was over, the call went through.

She asked in a panic where Lao Tan was and how he was doing. When Lao Tan answered, she calmed down and thought about her speech by the way.

Old Tan didn't know about Lin Yan's mental activities. When he heard that he was laid off, he comforted him: "It's okay. I'm tired after working for these years. It's good to be laid off. Take a good rest at home and don't get angry."

"You know, the new guy is good at management, but he's not good at logistics. When he came, he ordered blindly, and even ordered me. I didn't listen to him—" Lin Yan didn't go on, the meaning was obvious, because I didn't listen to others, so I was laid off.

Old Tan said: "There's no reason to be angry. This kind of paratrooper generally doesn't last long. When the time comes, your boss will still have to look for you."

"I'm just angry—"

"What are you doing with that anger? It's useless. Stay at home, cook for your son, and go out for a walk if you have nothing to do."

"——Okay, I won't tell you——I thought you could come back this month."

"I can't go back, the soonest is the end of December."

"—Then you should be outside."

After Lin Yan finished speaking, she hung up the phone, obviously angry.Lao Tan didn't care too much, thinking that she was in a bad mood after being laid off, and it was normal to hang up the phone, otherwise she wouldn't be able to say a few words during the usual call, this time it was considered long.

Lin Yan was in a daze with her mobile phone in her hand. She intuitively felt that Lao Tan had a woman outside, otherwise she wouldn't know that she was laid off and would come back at the end of the year.

Her current thinking has entered a dead end, and her head is full of other thoughts, only thinking that Lao Tan has a woman outside, she can't stand it, and she must get a divorce.

Once a thought arises, it can't go away, circling back and forth in the head like a demon.

"Mom, can you take my pair of shoes to the shoe store downstairs for repairs tomorrow? The glue has been removed." When Lin Yan was still obsessed, her son pushed the door in with a pair of shoes in his hand.

"Oh, yeah? Okay." Lin Yan recovered and agreed.

"What's the matter, mom, you're absent-minded. Don't forget, I like these shoes."

"Well, I can't forget, put it on the shoe rack."

Lin Yan let out a sigh of relief when her son went out with his shoes on, shaking her head dissatisfied with herself.Then I got off the bed, stood on the ground looking for slippers, but couldn't find them for a long time, went to the living room and saw the slippers beside the stool at the dining table, thinking that I forgot to wear them when I entered the bedroom.

Walking to the stool and putting on the slippers, I couldn't remember what I wanted to do, so I stood there in a daze for a long time, and finally went back to the bedroom.
