The story of a cook

Chapter 132
The life of part-time job is very ordinary, not so much rich and colorful, warm and romantic.

All the warmth and romance are based on living a good life. Only when the life is stable will you have the mood to enjoy the short-term warmth.

I haven't been home for half a year, and I feel a little homesick.

It's hard to feel homesick.I miss my mother, but I don't know how my mother is at home.

I called my eldest sister's house, and the eldest sister said that my mother was in good health, there was nothing wrong with it, she could eat and drink, and told me not to worry about it.The eldest sister also told me that the homes of the fifth, third and fourth sisters all had telephones and gave me their phone numbers.I thought that my sister's house had a telephone, and I was still using a pager, which was a bit out of date.In fact, at that time, everyone carried a pager, and mobile phones were still in the era of mobile phones. It would be nice for part-time workers to have a pager. Thinking about it this way made my heart feel more balanced.

Homesickness is homesickness after all, I talked and laughed every day, and sometimes I sat on a small bench in a daze.

Sister Jin asked me: "What's the matter, master, did you quarrel with your partner?"

I look at Sister Jin. Sister Jin puts on a little makeup when she goes to work, adorning her beautiful face like a gentle and virtuous wife.Such a woman should be cared for by a man, not wandering outside.Maybe it's really someone's fate, looking at her, she looks a bit like the third sister.

I said, "No, I'm homesick."

Sister Jin smiled and said, "Such an adult still misses home."

I couldn't help sighing, and said to Sister Jin: "In your eyes, I should be very mature, a person in his 30s who started a family and started a business."

Sister Jin said: "It's not a big deal. Seeing that you are more mature than us, I think you are an adult. Everyone regards you as the backbone."

I smiled unnaturally, to be honest I really didn't want to laugh.

I said: "Actually, I am only 25, not as old as you, and I am still a child in my mother's eyes." At this time, my mother's face appeared in front of my eyes, as if she was looking at me. "Sometimes I feel homesick, like my mother."

Sister Jin looked at me and didn't speak. She probably didn't know what to say, because most of the time it was me who enlightened them, and they seldom enlightened me.

I stood up and said, "I don't want to, go to work."

It's fine to work, and you don't want to think about anything after doing the work.In fact, it's useless to think about it. If you think about it and can't do it, it's better not to think about it.

At night when I was about to get off work, Sister Jin was washing the work clothes there. I said, "Actually, the work clothes are not dirty, just wash them once every two days."

Sister Jin said, "Is that okay? I have to wash it every day, or I won't feel comfortable wearing it tomorrow."

I said, "It's the same, it's not summer, and there are still sweaters inside."

Sister Jin said: "In fact, sweaters should be washed every day, especially underwear, which has to be changed every day."

I said, "You are so clean."

Sister Jin said: "I'm afraid that you will be embarrassed, and that your partner will think too much. If you bring a change of underwear, I will change it for you every day."

I blushed as soon as I jumped to the ground. Sister Jin said it very naturally, but I couldn't stand it.Lin Yan never washed my underwear, I did it myself.

I went out to eat, but Sister Jin stopped me and said, "I see you are quite troubled today, let's have a drink with you later."

I looked at Sister Jin, maybe it was because Sister Jin was older than me, she was very understanding.He wanted to drink some wine, but after thinking about it, he said duplicity: "I'm fine, the trouble is over long ago."

Sister Jin nodded slightly disappointed, and said, "Oh, that's good, I'm afraid you'll make trouble."

I stood there without moving, and I saw a kind of loneliness in the tone of Sister Jin's speech and the expression of avoiding her.

I said: "Well, in order to thank you for helping me wash my work clothes, I will treat you to a drink today, do you want to go?"

Sister Jin raised her head, she couldn't hide her joy in her eyes, and said, "Go."

I laughed and said, "Go and call Sister Ma."

Sister Jin immediately became a little unhappy, and said, "Didn't you say to invite me?"

Looking at her, Sister Jin at this moment was exactly like a little girl, and at that moment, she was regarded as Sister Zhao.

I said, "Okay, just the two of us, and no one will know about them."

Sister Jin asked me in disbelief, "Really?"

I said: "That's still a holiday, we will elope tonight."

Sister Jin smiled and said: "You go first in a while, wait for me at the traffic post, and we will go to Beiling to eat skewers."

I said yes.

After get off work, I went to the traffic post first, and waited for Sister Jin to come over there.

I thought Sister Jin would come over soon, but after waiting for 10 minutes, there was still no one, so I got a little angry, so I lit a cigarette and smoked.Almost 10 minutes later, a woman came from the front wearing a pink windbreaker, shawl and long hair, with a charming figure and a pretty face, smiling.

This is the first time I saw Sister Jin's amazing dress, and I almost didn't recognize it.

Sister Jin came to her, saw me staring at her dumbfounded, and said, "I don't know her anymore."

I said, "I really don't know each other."

Sister Jin laughed and asked, "Are you in a hurry?"

I said, "I'll be home in less than a minute."

Sister Jin said: "I'm afraid that you will go home and run out without even changing your shoes."

Look at the shoes on her feet, they haven't changed, they are still the half high-heeled leather shoes she wears at work.

I said, "You're so charming, you don't need to change your shoes."

Sister Jin smiled embarrassedly and said, "It's the first time I'm out alone with you, I'm afraid of embarrassment."

I said: "Now it's not you who is ashamed, but I am ashamed. Look at you, beauty; look at me, bandit."

Sister Jin said, "You should say Beast."

Walking on the street with Sister Jin, at night, there are not many people. If you have to pay attention to us during the day, a beautiful woman walking with a man wearing a part-time job logo will definitely make people have unnecessary associations.Even when we entered the kebab restaurant, we both became the focus of attention of all customers.Fortunately, I've gotten used to it, and I don't care much about other people's suspicious eyes, just treat them as envious eyes.

I ordered skewers and asked for wine, sat there and started chatting.

Sister Jin said: "I seldom hear you talk about family affairs, but I know you have a mother in your family."

I said, "I have five older sisters."

Sister Jin was a little surprised: "Do you have five older sisters?"

I said, "Well, five."

Sister Jin said: "Then you have enough older sisters. I have two older brothers."

I said, "It's good to have an older brother. I don't have an older brother. My brother is the only one in my family. It's pretty lonely."

Sister Jin said: "It's great that you have five older sisters. The older sister loves the younger brother the most."

I said, "Yes, my five older sisters are all good to me."

At this time, the skewers came up, and I had a sip of wine with Sister Jin, chatting while eating the skewers.

Sister Jin asked: "Then how often do you go home?"

I said, "I don't know. If I don't go to work, I will go home and have a look, and I will go back during the Chinese New Year." Thinking that I didn't go home for the two Spring Festivals, I said: "I also didn't go home for two Spring Festivals, and I spent it in a restaurant. "

Sister Jin asked: "Is the restaurant open during the Chinese New Year?"

I said: "Yes, it's open. Others have something to go home to celebrate the New Year, so I didn't go back and cook in the restaurant."

Sister Jin said: "You are really dedicated."

I said, "It's not that I'm dedicated, but I get along well with the boss. During the Chinese New Year, there is a shortage of people. I will stay when everyone is gone."

Sister Jin said: "Then you are guaranteed to be able to go home for the New Year this year. Our house is closed for the New Year."

I said: "That's good, go home and spend a new year."

This year's plan is to go home with Lin Yan to spend the New Year with her mother, and the family of three will have a good Spring Festival.This is my wish, and it is also my mother's wish.

Sister Jin said with a bit of melancholy: "When it comes to Chinese New Year, I am troubled. It is better when I am not divorced. Every day on the second day of the first lunar month, I go back to my mother's house to see my parents. They are all very good. After the divorce, I will be happy. It's uncomfortable to have to spend the New Year at my mother's house. My brother is okay, and my sister-in-law will look at me like that."

I said: "Your sister-in-law is an outsider after all, does she think you are in the way at home?"

Sister Jin said: "That's what it means. Anyway, I only stay at home for two days during the Chinese New Year, and I'm not always at home. I don't see what they want."

I asked, "Then who did your parents live with?"

Sister Jin said: "Follow my second brother. In fact, my parents don't need them to care about it. I will send it back to them for money. My parents can move around. They still have fifteen or six acres of land. They don't need to pay for it every year." Eat less food. My parents didn’t eat with them, they cooked and ate by themselves, that is, they ate together during the New Year’s Eve. My second brother and the others almost didn’t care about it, just, hey, beware of getting old, wait until you get old , so I have someone to take care of my son, and I will send my son to the mountain when it is over."

"That's the same thing, girls and boys are the same now, and girls are also old-age." I said, "My mother told me not to follow me when I was old, but to follow my sister and the others."

Sister Jin said: "I also want to take care of my parents, but I don't know what to do by myself."

I said, "Sister Jin, you're actually quite young and pretty. You're just thirty. You should find someone to start a family with, so that the old ones of your family can feel at ease."

Sister Jin said: "It's so easy to find. If you are high or low, you can't be high. The people I like may not necessarily like me. I still look down on those who like me."

I said: "Then it will be difficult. This matter requires two people to hit it off, and it won't work if they don't hit it off."

Sister Jin said: "No, I said don't be angry, just like you, I really like you, but what's the use of liking, you have a partner, besides, you still don't like me, it's just nonsense."

I just smiled.

Sister Jin looked at me with a smile, and then said: "I know you won't get along with me. I am older than you and I have been married. I have never had children but I am married. You don't need to talk about myself. I knew I wasn't good enough for you. I didn't give up at the beginning, but after working with you for a long time, seeing how good you are to your partner, I knew you weren't that kind of person, so I didn't think so."

I told Sister Jin, "I can't do it. There are plenty of people who are better than me. I just have a daughter-in-law, and I don't have any other ideas."

Sister Jin said: "You don't pay attention to yourself, and you don't know what you are like. Sister Wang and Sister Ma always say that you are a good person, righteous, particular, filial, sensible, and nice to others. Don't think you are a master. , there is no airs at all, you can do everything in the kitchen, and you will go to help whoever is too busy, unlike some masters, who just fry their two dishes and don’t care about everything after cooking, like an uncle. You Not like that, we would all like to work with you."

I joked: "Well, I don't know these things, I'm so good, then I have to do less work and become the emperor."

Sister Jin just laughed and said, "You're not that kind of person, and you can't do what I ask you to do." Then she said seriously: "You know, after you kicked out my ex-husband, Sister Ma told me when she came back, that you This person is good, she also said that she is too much older than you, it is not suitable, and you should be particular, otherwise she will have a relationship with you. She told me to chase you, if I can live with you, Make sure you can't go wrong."

I said, "Well, Sister Ma is teasing you, you really believe it."

Sister Jin said: "Hey, you don't know what I believe. Everyone in our store has good comments on you, even my aunt said you are a good person. This is the first time I met a Han chef like you in these years. She also told me that you have a partner, if you don't have a partner, you can tell me to have sex with you."

I quickly said: "Okay, Miss Jin, don't talk about it, I'm too embarrassed to talk about it."

Sister Jin said: "There's nothing to be embarrassed about, good is good, and I'm not the only one saying hello." Then she looked at me and asked: "Master, those two women who came to our house for dinner, how are you?" It's your sister, I met you when I was working in another restaurant, remember?"

Sister Jin is talking about Li Na and Sister Zhao.I said, "Remember, what's wrong?"

Sister Jin said: "You are a man, so you don't pay attention to these things. I am a woman and I know it. When people come to see you, it means that they like you in their hearts. If they don't like it, they won't come to see you."

I said, "We get on well."

Sister Jin said: "That's your idea. In fact, people probably are the same as me. They think that you really want to be with you, but also feel that you are not worthy. , just watch you."

After Sister Jin finished speaking, I looked at her for a long time without saying anything.

At that time, I couldn't think of so much, and I just acted according to my conscience.It's the same wherever you work. When you finish your own work, you help others. It's always right to help others.It's the same with people, if we don't think too much, we can't help them, that is, we can help them as much as we can.The rest is to say a few words if you don't like it, it's okay, it's the same with others.The man who beat Sister Zhao was a human being. I happened to meet him, and I beat him, and I beat him. There is no such reason.Sister Jin's ex-husband should also hit me. Even if the old lady didn't come to me that day, he would hit me if the trouble continued. It has nothing to do with anything else.Just like what my mother said, helping others is helping yourself. It’s not easy to go out, but it’s good to be able to help.

My mother often said that it is not shameful to beg for food. If no one gave you food at that time, you would all starve to death.

This is what I have done all these years, and I have come here in this way. I don't want anything else, just want to be worthy of my conscience.

The wine was almost drunk, and she said to Sister Jin: "Sister Jin, I'm here today, let's go back."

Sister Jin said: "I'm having a good time drinking, drink more, it's interesting to drink with you."

I said, "Alcohol is not something you drink all day, you can drink it when you have time."

So I settled the bill and went out with Sister Jin. After coming out, Sister Jin said that she wanted to sing, but I said it was too late and I would go another day.

Sister Jin said: "There is no one who doesn't sing after drinking. You Han people really don't know how to enjoy it."

I said, "It's not that we Han people don't know how to enjoy it, it's because I don't know how to enjoy it."

Sister Jin said: "I don't think you can enjoy it, you don't even want a beautiful woman for nothing."

I said: "I have no blessing to accept the grace of a beauty."

After sending Sister Jin to the door of the dormitory, Sister Jin hugged me boldly, hugged me tightly, and then went in.
