The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 555 Gentle Night

Back at the residence, Wang Shulan didn't go back to her room like yesterday.

The two of them live together in a warm, harmonious and natural way, just like when they were in the beautiful valley, and they are as lingering as if they were newly married after a long separation.

After falling in love, the two did not fall asleep immediately.Lao Tan lit a cigarette and smoked, while Wang Shulan leaned her head on his shoulder and slid her hands gently on his stomach, enjoying the satisfaction after the passion passed.

"Old Tan, I really like being with you." Wang Shulan said.

"Aren't we together now?" Old Tan said.

"Together—we haven't been together for a year and a half, have we?"

"Um--"

"Sometimes I miss you and think about you—you are annoying and tormenting——"

"is it?"

"Well, with you—what should I say, to be honest, I like to treat you as a younger brother, and then use my sister's identity to care and take care of you. But when I see you, I can't control myself, and I want to do things with you, just like now son."

Old Tan flicked the ash into the ashtray and said, "It's normal, I'm a man and you are a woman."

Wang Shulan said: "Not anymore, mainly because I like—" She raised her head and touched Lao Tan's bald head with her hand, and then said: "It's fun to be with you, I have something to rely on, hehe, I don't have to think about anything."

"I was born to worry about my life."

"Don't say it's true, sometimes I feel that you are tired." Wang Shulan seemed to be in high spirits, she leaned her body up, and sat up with her back against the head of the bed.

Anyway, there were only the two of them in the room, and they were not afraid of being exposed. Their full breasts were displayed in an ambiguous atmosphere full of sentimentality.

She said, "If you weren't so tired and worked so hard, you probably wouldn't get cancer."

Old Tan squeezed the corners of his mouth into a smile, and said: "Everything is predestined, so there should be such a disaster.

Let me tell you, no one has a smooth life and everything goes smoothly. There are always ups and downs. "

"You just don't stop." Wang Shulan said.

"People can't rest when they are alive. Don't talk about eating and drinking, let's solve it. After eating and drinking, we have to solve the problem of dressing, wearing a hat, building a house and building a house.

Let me put it this way, from the day I can remember, I know that I eat differently from other children, dress differently, and I can't even play with them.

It looks like I'm strong, but it's just an appearance. If you have experienced what I have experienced, you will know what it is to be looked down upon by others, and what it is to be humbled from the bottom of your heart.

People who can't overcome the cowardice in their bones will be like that for a lifetime-being looked down upon and bullied by others.

My first resistance was not that I was being bullied, but that people in the village looked down on my mother.

I was eight years old at the time, and I didn't know what fear was or what fear was. I was just angry, so angry that I rushed up to fight people desperately.

Of course I can't beat others, how can a child beat an adult --- I was beaten until my nose was bruised and my face was swollen, but I didn't know the pain, as long as I got up from the ground, I rushed up and continued to beat me until the person who beat me was scared.

After that, I understood a truth, as long as I don't want to die, the one who dies is someone else. "

"It seems that you liked to fight when you were young." Wang Shulan said.

Old Tan said: "It's not that I like to fight, but I have to fight. In the countryside, people can't live well, and they are always bullied. My mother is a housewife, and the widow is unemployed, pulling us six siblings. I am the only man in the family. She's the youngest, and to be honest, she's forced."

"It's not easy for you."

"Hey, how do you say, it's not easy for anyone, it depends on how you live." Lao Tan refilled another cigarette, and then said: "It's not shameful to be poor, it's shameful to have no dignity.

Growing up from a young age, I have never felt poor and lowly because of my family. On the contrary, I feel quite rich.I remember that when I was in high school, I was wearing a suit of clothes. The upper body was the work uniform given by the father of my classmate. The gray kind was specially forbidden to wear, but it seems to be gone now.

The lower body is a pair of grass-green trousers, which are fake military trousers, and the buttocks are patched. In order to be strong, my eldest sister used a sewing machine to go back and forth many times to resist abrasion.

On the feet are a pair of yellow plastic shoes, no socks, and barefoot.

According to my clothes, I am the worst in our class. I don't look like a student, but like a dealer. "

"I can imagine what you were like at that time, a bit like my dad when I was a child. My dad worked in a rolling mill at that time, and he wore gray work clothes with pockets on the top and no pockets on the bottom, tight cuffs, and buckles. .” Wang Shulan said.

"Yes, that's it."

"People in the 70s generation all wore that dress, and it was the same in the 80s, and it almost disappeared in the 90s."

"In our mining area, workers who go down to the mine wear it. My classmate's father is a coal black man. His father issued work clothes for him to wear. He thought it was cheap and gave it to me. I took it like a treasure."

"It stands to reason that you should be quite rich."

"You're talking about industrial households in coal mines. My family is an agricultural household. I can't tell you that as long as you are an agricultural household in a mining area, it is mountainous and thin, and the land does not grow crops. It is good to work for a year without going hungry. There are few places for money, and I am terribly panicked.

Otherwise, I can't come out to work.At home, I can't even be a daughter-in-law. Whose girl can fall in love with me? Even if she falls in love with my parents, I don't agree. The family is poor. "Old Tan said.

Wang Shulan leaned towards Lao Tan, her bare arms resting on Lao Tan's chest, her warm chest conveyed tenderness.Old Tan pulled the towel up, and she covered her two beautiful breasts knowingly.

"Have you ever had a blind date at home?" She asked curiously.

Old Tan said: "If you pass, if you fail, then you won't meet again."

"Didn't you go to Yaru's house? You already made money at that time, why haven't you made it yet?"

"Hehe, it's late, she's engaged—"

"Pity--"

"---"

"Yaru is really nice, a good wife and mother, and she is also pretty."

"When did you learn to be jealous?"

Wang Shulan said leisurely: "Women are jealous, I don't know, especially our relationship, I'm not so generous as to not care about anything."

Old Tan didn't say anything.

"But I'm not jealous, you two knew each other earlier than me." Wang Shulan said.

Old Tan pressed the cigarette butt to death in the ashtray, turned around and said: "Acquaintances have their own priorities, and love has its short and long. Life has its own day and night, and the time is fleeting. The best state of a living person is not to be entangled. Let go of unnecessary things and let your heart relax. Open and bright.

It is said in the Diamond Sutra that all appearances are false, and if you understand this, then everything will be light. "

"It's hard to understand, people have desires."

"Desire blinds one's eyes to Mount Tai. The bottom line is that there are no major twists and turns and experiences of life and death. Once a person has experienced life and death, he will naturally see a lot, and can distinguish between external and internal affairs.

External affairs are all appearances, nothing is your own, and it is impossible to have it forever.Like the floating clouds in the sky, there is no wind when they come and there is no rain when they go away. It is best to leave no traces.

The internal affairs of the body are self-cultivation, and to put it bluntly, it is the cultivation of the mind.

We are all mortals, it is impossible to have nothing without desires, it is best to keep one heart.

As Lao Tzu said, get rid of selfish desires and seek for others, and less for yourself. Although it is impossible to completely selfless and altruistic, it is enough to seek peace of mind. "
