The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 511 Yaru wants to come
Old Tan was rescued by the neighbors in the west courtyard.

The neighbors in the west yard came back after watching the two in the farmyard. When they were about to enter the yard, they saw that Lao Tan's door was open, so the man walked over and took a look, which saved Lao Tan.

The man saw Lao Tan lying on the ground. Although it was night, he could tell from the moonlight that Lao Tan had passed out instead of falling asleep.After calling for his wife, the man went into the yard and picked up Lao Tan's head. He shouted twice but there was no movement. He tried to breathe, and then began to pinch him.

After pinching the old Tan, he woke up leisurely, and his stomach miraculously stopped hurting.

The neighbors and his wife helped him into the house, sat there with concern for a while, and then went back after checking that he was indeed all right.He sent people to the door and said a lot of words of thanks.

After seeing off the kind neighbor, Old Tan went back to the house and sat on the kang, dazed in a daze.He recalled what happened just now, only remembering the sudden severe pain in his stomach, but he couldn't remember why he passed out and slipped to the ground.

I beat my stomach with my hand, and it really didn't hurt anymore, so the criminal thought about what was going on, if it hurts, it hurts, if it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt anymore?Hit a ghost?

At the thought of bumping ghosts, I couldn't help feeling cold all over, my skin tightened, and the back of my head felt cold.

He glanced back subconsciously, there was nothing behind him, it was empty.Turn around and talk to yourself to scare yourself, where is the ghost.

Although I don't believe in ghosts, and I don't think there are ghosts, but thinking about it at night is still a little scary, and I can't help but get nervous, as if there are really ghosts hiding somewhere in the house.

In order to embolden himself and relieve his tense nerves, he subconsciously started to smoke.

Take out the cigarette, light it up and take a deep breath, instead of swallowing it into your stomach, just turn it around in your mouth and exhale directly, and your nerves will gradually relax as the smoke is exhaled.

Then he took a second breath, and the air around him also relaxed, no longer frighteningly frozen.

At this moment, the mobile phone rang, and the usual melodious ringtone suddenly exploded like a mine, startling him.

He picked up the phone and saw that Yaru was calling, and wondered if there was something wrong with calling at this time, she didn't usually call at night.

Yaru is not busy, but wants to see him.

Yaru put this month's rest and next month's rest together, plus seven days of annual leave, a total of thirteen days are going to be taken together.This was something she had planned long ago, and she wanted to spend time with Lao Tan during her rest.

She planned to rest when Lao Tan was alone, like when he was recuperating in Daqingshan in the first half of the year.In this way, she can take good care of him without any scruples.

In fact, she had this idea long before Lao Tan got sick.At that time, what I thought was to take a long vacation, or stop working at Aqiao, and go to a place where no one would disturb me for a few days with Lao Tan, like lovers.

The family education she received since she was a child and her own personality made her unable to be as free and easy as Wang Shulan, otherwise she had too many opportunities with Lao Tan, not once or twice.

Although she works in the city and is exposed to the concept of new life every day, the innocence and simplicity in her bones, self-esteem and self-love still occupy the dominant position, and she warns herself not to mess around or indulge like other divorced women.

She would rather bury her love for Lao Tan in her heart, and then silently care and give, and never overstep the threshold.What she thought of was not all about her own reputation, but more about the impact of doing that on Lao Tan.

Of course, as a woman who is both physically and mentally healthy, she longs for the affection and caress of a man, especially a beloved man, who wants to be in harmony with each other.

This is human nature, food and sex.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and Yaju thinks it is the best time to take a vacation, for good reasons—going home to visit her parents and spend the holidays with the elderly.And no one thought that she would accompany Lao Tan.

But where is Lao Tan now?at home?Still at home?still---
She was not sure.She wanted to call Lao Tan to confirm that if he was alone, she would take the vacation, and if not, she would not take it until she had a chance.But then he thought about whether Lao Tan would ask her to go with him if he knew she was going to accompany him, so he adopted a roundabout tactic.

Yaru smartly called Zhou Xiaomei, intentionally or unintentionally asking about Lao Tan's situation.Zhou Xiaomei said on the phone that Lao Tan was fine, and she had just returned from Beijing for a follow-up visit. She took the medicine and went to Beauty Valley alone for recuperation, and told her not to worry about it.

In the end, he joked, "Do you miss my uncle? Just call if you want to. Don't be embarrassed."

After learning the news that Lao Tan was alone in the beautiful valley, Yaru was very happy, even a little excited—this is what she wanted.

So she reported to the chef Erdun that she would go back to her hometown to visit her parents for the holidays. After getting approval, she arranged the work of the dumpling shop to her apprentice Zhao Min, and set off with joy and excitement.

There is no direct train from Suzhou to Chifeng. Yaru first takes the high-speed train to the provincial capital, and then transfers to the express train to reach Chifeng at [-]:[-] tomorrow morning.

Yaru didn't know how to get to Beauty Valley when she got off the car tomorrow, so she called Lao Tan.

Old Tan was so pleasantly surprised that he forgot about the stomachache, fainting, and ghost encounter just now, and asked Yaju's train number and told her that he would pick him up at the station tomorrow, and just tell her to get out of the platform and wait.

"This girl, I didn't say anything in advance when I came here, I only called when I got in the car." Old Tan whispered a little reproachfully, but he was very happy in his heart.

Happiness is happiness, and when the head calms down after being happy, I think about what will happen after Yaru arrives.

He is not stupid, he knows the meaning of Yaru's coming, although the meaning is happy, but at the same time, he is also facing an unexplainable embarrassment.

Let's put it this way, Wang Shulan was with him when he was recuperating here last year, and his relationship with Wang Shulan has been made public. Yingzi's mother, Xiaomei's parents, and Mr. Xiang all know what's going on.

Especially Xiaomei's parents, who are relatives, know that he has a family, but they are not his wife but other women with him, and they don't say it, but they think it in their hearts-this old Tan has a woman outside.

Let’s have it, now in this society—hey, it’s understandable.

By the way, when Wang Shulan was here, she took care of Lao Tan so meticulously, reaching a level that ordinary daughter-in-laws could not reach. She was recognized and praised by everyone, and she was said to be a good woman.

Just half a year later, another woman came here, what do people think and say?Even if you don’t say anything on the surface, you also count behind the scenes—who is this old Tan?

Hey, people living in reality are people’s words to be feared——

Who can hide it?

But people have come all the way and told them to go?Obviously not, I have to live here for a few days, and live with myself.

Lao Tan was lying on the kang, turning over and over, unable to sleep, thinking about it.

For some reason, the word "hypocrisy" popped out of his head, and he couldn't help being stunned when the words came out, and then he said to himself: "It's so fucking hypocritical, I hope people will come, and I will live in other people's mouths." Looking for an excuse for your reputation, the other woman will go all out, don't care about this and that, you, a big man, will flip it.

Isn't it tiring to live like this?
Wouldn't you like to have a clean heart? "

When I thought this way, my heart became brighter, and I thought about it: the reason why people are so particular about it is because they are unethical and unrighteous, and they do things that violate their conscience.Whether it's my old Tan and Wang Shulan, or Yaru, my self-confidence has not offended my conscience, nor is it unethical or unrighteous. Why do you think about those things?

Good or bad is everyone's comment, but I have to have a steelyard in my heart, and I can't lose the weight of my conscience.
