The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 608 God Mother God Daughter

Zhang Li likes Mingyue not only because she looks like her, but looking at Mingyue reminds her of her first child, the only child in her life, which is a girl.

It's a pity that fate tricked people and had a miscarriage.

It is a pity that a woman cannot be a mother for a lifetime, or it is incomplete.No matter how open-minded a woman may be, she may not say anything, but her inner desire to be a mother is strong, otherwise there would not be so many adopted children.

Looking at Mingyue, Zhang Li thought that if she hadn't had a miscarriage, her daughter would be twenty this year, and she would be so old——
After she finished talking, Mingyue was very moved and said, "Thank you, Auntie."

Zhang Li smiled, and suddenly remembered something and said, "Don't call me aunt, call me aunt according to what you Korean people call you."

"Thank you, Auntie!"

"Hey, my aunt still sounds comfortable."

Old Tan said: "It's not that aunt sounds comfortable, but the word "Ma" behind it sounds comfortable."

"As long as you understand, if you know it, you have to say it." Zhang Li stared, but her face was full of smiles.

"Old Tan is right," Lao Huang said.

"You are everywhere!"

Lao Huang stopped talking, picked up a cup and drank with Lao Tan.

Thirty This meal is a taste to eat with family members at home, and it is a taste to eat with outsiders. Only those who have experienced it can understand the taste.

Take Old Tan as an example, even though he is at his own home, he is not very happy. What he thinks is that it would be great if all three members of the family went back to Fifth Sister’s house, and the food would taste delicious if he stayed with his mother for the reunion year. .

It's good now, not only can't go back, but also have to lie to the family, saying that the three of them went to the mother-in-law's house for the New Year, what is the intention?
Yes, what is the intention, I can't say clearly, I just think it's right to do it, but I can't tell whether it's really right or not.

He thinks that his mother must be talking about it at home now, and he doesn't know how to come back during the Chinese New Year. Is the epidemic so serious?

He could think of his mother's expression and what was going on in his heart, and he felt a pain for no reason.

Of course, he thanked Sister Jin and Zhang Li for coming. If he was alone, the meal would be very difficult to eat, and he could not even swallow it. He could only drink alcohol until he was drunk.

"Come on, brother, let's have a drink. I wish you good health in the new year." Sister Jin said, holding up her wine glass.

Lao Tan raised his glass and said thank you sister, then drank it down.

Over there, Zhang Li and Mingyue were drinking, and of course Mingyue respected Zhang Li, and Lao Huang was among them.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, everyone is very happy.

Sister Jin said: "You Han people have Han traditions during the New Year, and we Xian people also have traditions. We have to wear our own national costumes."

"Then wear it." Zhang Li said.

She thought that Sister Jin and Mingyue didn't bring their national costumes, but they did.

Sister Jin pulled Mingyue to the bedroom with the help of wine, and the door of the bedroom opened after a while, and Sister Jin and Mingyue came out in national costumes, which made Zhang Li, Lao Huang, and Lao Tan brighten their eyes.

So the Spring Festival, which is shared by the Korean and Han ethnic groups, began.

The taste of the new year is strong, and the peace is strong. You drink and I dance, and you are happy. How many homesickness is gone, looking forward to the way home.

The red light is hanging, the snow is hitting the window lattice, pushing a cup to change a cup with a smile on your face, leaving thousands of thoughts behind, and leaving home full of worries.

The cold weather has auspicious snow, firecrackers bid farewell to the old year, and the heart warms the New Year's Eve.

A glass of wine, a word, a heart, a piece of warmth——
"Mingyue, fill up the wine for auntie, and cook dumplings when it's full." Zhang Li said with a bit of drunkenness.

Mingyue pours wine for Zhang Li.

"No need for children, I will cook later." Old Tan said.

"What are you going to do? Let Mingyue go, let's enjoy." Zhang Li said.

"You don't need Uncle Tan, I'll go." Mingyue said.

Old Tan said through Jiu Jin: "Zhang Li, you like Mingyue so much, she still looks like you, you might as well consider her as your daughter."

"Okay—" Sister Jin said.

"Okay." Zhang Li regained her spirits, sat up straight and looked at Mingyue expectantly, and asked, "Mingyue, do you want to?"

Mingyue didn't drink too much, and the atmosphere made her very enthusiastic. At the same time, she felt Zhang Li's enthusiasm for herself and the long-lost maternal love, but she still had a specious reserve because of the first meeting.

But she had accepted it in her heart, and there was only one push left.

The godmother didn't just admit it.

Seeing Mingyue in a daze, Sister Jin pushed her and said, "Silly girl, what are you thinking? Hurry up."

Mingyue seemed to be recovering, took two steps back, knelt down on her knees amid everyone's astonishment, and respectfully kowtowed to Zhang Li.

"Godmother!"

"Hey--"

Mingyue kowtowed to Lao Huang again.

"Godfather!"

"Hey--"

Zhang Li and Lao Huang both got up, Zhang Li had tears in her eyes and helped Mingyue up, Mingyue looked at Zhang Li, and immediately threw herself into her arms——
People always have feelings, otherwise there would be no good and evil in the world.

In the past, godmother and godfather were called adoptive father and adoptive mother. There is a righteous word in front of it that makes people feel comfortable, and there is no misunderstanding when people hear godmother and godfather like now.

How should I put it, it is not the progress of society that brings about the change of names, but the distortion of human nature as it advances.In today’s society, as soon as you hear godmother, you will think of being a son, and when you hear godfather, you will think of being a daughter. There are too many mixed things in it, and you have forgotten the same care that you used to bear for this title. responsibility.

Zhang Li and Lao Huang recognized their goddaughters Lao Tan and Sister Jin to express their congratulations and raise their glasses to celebrate.

"Mingyue, your godmother is not an ordinary person. She is number one in the catering industry in the provincial capital. I will learn more from her in the future." Old Tan said.

"En." Mingyue nodded.

"It's okay to bully and bully your godfather. He is honest and can follow you in everything."

Mingyue didn't dare to say anything, knowing that Lao Tan was joking.

Sister Jin said: "Mingyue is a good child, sensible, if I hadn't been divorced, I would have recognized her as my daughter——"

"Auntie, I have treated you like my mother a long time ago." Mingyue said emotionally.

"I know—Auntie is happy—"

Mingyue went up and hugged Sister Jin, and Sister Jin shed tears, and Mingyue also cried.

Zhang Li happily had a drink with Lao Tan, and after drinking, she pulled Mingyue to her side and said, "Girl wait, Mom will cook the dumplings."

In the end, the two went together.

"Do you think they are real mothers?" Sister Jin said to Lao Tan, wiping her tears.

Old Tan laughed and said, "In the last life, right? In this life, we met—"

"Mingyue is such a nice kid—"

"Well, I liked it as soon as I entered the room. This kid has a sincere face, and he will definitely not be wrong in the future." Lao Huang said.

Old Tan said: "Looking at her reminds me of Xiaohui, both children are suffering——Xiaohui is doing well now, the children are so old—"

"Zhang Li has always wanted a child, but she didn't want one." Lao Huang said: "My girl is fine with her, hey, how can I say, after all, it's not her own child, but to a certain extent——
The two of us are okay, but I know what she's thinking—this time, her wish has come true, and it's really fate. "

"What are you talking about? The dumplings are ready, let's eat the dumplings quickly."

Zhang Li and Mingyue each held two plates of steaming dumplings.
