The story of a cook

Chapter 157 New Home
My mother often said that she would rather mess with one person than offend one more.

Especially outside, there is nothing wrong with making more friends and making fewer enemies.

Working outside is not like being at home. At home, we are all our own family members, and the villagers in the neighbors and villages can take care of each other.If you can't do it outside, you have to rely on your friends if your family is not around.

As the saying goes, "Rely on your parents at home, and rely on your friends when you go out", this is true. You must make more friends outside, get along with friends sincerely, and don't play tricks. Only in this way can you make friends and someone will help you .

National Day quickly helped me rent a house, and rode a donkey from Santaizi to help me move.

I asked him where he got it, and he said it was so neat that anyone in the market could borrow one.Believe what he says, he can do it too.

Lin Yan and I don't have much property, just a few clothes, luggage and bedding, and a pitiful few pots and pans. Whether you add it or not, you just ride a donkey backwards. Thinking about it now, it's really a bit shabby.

The house I rented for the National Day was a large compound, surrounded by three-storey gray apartment buildings built with the aid of the Soviet Union. Three houses, one kitchen and one bathroom. Now there are still old buildings like Santaizi, but they are rare.

The house I rented was in the first unit on the east side, on the first floor, the house next to it.Opposite my house is the kitchen, and the house next door is vacant and no one lives in it. I heard from my landlord that it has been taken back by the real estate department, waiting to be assigned to new employees who joined the factory.Diagonally opposite the door is the old residents, a family of three, the man buys children's toys in the market, the woman is a sanitation worker, and has a five-year-old son who is in kindergarten.

My house is eighteen square meters in total. There is a double bed by the window, an old-fashioned wardrobe at the door, and an old-fashioned square table on the floor.There are only these three things in the whole house, and there is nothing left.The part of the kitchen that belongs to my house is a cupboard made of bricks, covered with a marble slab, with a simple hob on the marble slab, and a gas tank next to it.

Simple and humble.

But it's cheap, one hundred and fifty a month, every quarter.

Look at the house, the walls are peeling off in some places.

Guo Qing said: "People live in the house, just tidy it up, this house is okay."

I said, "It's pretty good, what else do you need for a rented house, as long as you can live in it."

Guoqing said: "Don't unload the car, let's go buy a bucket of paint and paint the walls first. It will be clean and comfortable to live in."

I said, "Yes, you wait here, I'll go buy it."

I went to the hardware and grocery store and bought a bucket of paint and two roller brushes. When I came back, I painted the house with the National Day, and cleaned the house thoroughly after brushing.Then I took a look, not to mention, it looked much cleaner and more pleasing to the eye than when I first came in.Then I started to unload the truck, move the things into the house, put the things in the house, make the bed, and look a little more like home.

Guoqing said: "It's not very good, the rest is to buy in later, I'm missing a few stools, I'll go to my friend's restaurant tomorrow to get some for you, and I'm missing a table for eating." He pointed to the old-fashioned square table on the ground Said: "This square table is not good, the legs are too short, there are unused round tables in Shengmei Hotel, let the fourth and second children move over one, and the rest will be adjusted as they live, depending on what is useful and what is useless. There is nowhere to put it when you come here."

I said, "Yes, that's fine, thank you."

Guo Qing said: "You are not polite to me, you are all buddies. If you are my director, you will know what I am, so you don't have to be polite to me."

I said: "That's it, you go to send the donkey back, and I will wait for you at the restaurant at the end of the market. If you are hungry, go eat."

I had a simple meal with the National Day, and then I went home on the National Day. I went to the market to buy a new stove, and then went to the Shengmei Hotel and told the fourth son that the house was rented, and told him the location of the house.The house I rented is only 5 minutes walk from Shengmei, very close.Tell the fourth child that there is still a table and stools for eating, and it would be better if there is a TV cabinet.The fourth child said that he would go and have a look after get off work at night to see what it looked like.

When I came back from Shengmei, I called Lin Yan's unit first, told Lin Yan that she had moved, and told her to go directly to Sandaizi after get off work, and told her the exact location, and I will pick her up when the time comes.

After I got home, I removed the old stove, replaced it with a new one, and turned on the gas. It worked fine after I tried it, and the problem of cooking in this way was solved.Clean up the kitchen, arrange the pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and rice bags cannot be placed in the kitchen. One is that there is no space, and the other is that the kitchen is a bit damp, so put them in the house.

It's all finished, look at it, and feel very satisfied.

This is home. Although it is simple, it is also home. Everything will get better in the future.

Lin Yan went to pick her up at the intersection when she was about to get off work, and saw her riding a bicycle from a distance, like a child returning home.When she saw me, she rode a few times to me and got off the car.

Lin Yan said: "You are so fast, the house has already been moved."

I said: "Quick, it's like helping me on National Day."

Lin Yan asked: "Which National Day, do I know it?"

I said, "You don't know him. He rented the house for him. We can meet in the future. He's a nice guy."

Lin Yan asked: "What's the house like? Is it okay?"

I said, "Let's go, let's go back, you can see what it looks like after you have a look."

Led Lin Yan back home, Lin Yan looked inside and outside the house, and said: "It's very good, I'm quite satisfied, that's all right, we're not buying a house, just rent a house that can live in, this wall is for you and you on National Day Two brushes?"

I said, "Well, the two of us painted the walls first, and then moved things into the house. Look, it's still clean."

Lin Yan said: "It's pretty clean. We brought all those things from our house? Nothing was left behind?"

I said, "I was looking for a donkey for the National Day. I packed it all in one trip. I didn't leave anything behind. You can check it later. If I left something behind, I'll go back and pick it up tomorrow."

Lin Yan checked and found that nothing was left behind. She started to put clothes in the closet, tidied up the closet, then went to the kitchen to check, checked, and asked me: "Where is the rice bag?"

I said, "Put it in the house."

Lin Yan looked at the square table on the floor and said, "The table is pretty good, but it's too short, we have to sit on the floor to eat."

I said, "I told my fourth child, and asked him to bring a round table in the restaurant. It's folded and doesn't take up space."

Lin Yan said, "That's good."

Then he looked at the house again and said, "Old Tan, this is our home. It's very good. We lived here before we bought a house. We will buy a house when we have money."

I said, "Okay, anyway, you are in charge of the money, you can decide whether to buy a house or not, and I will be responsible for making money."

Lin Yan came up and put her arms around my neck and kissed me, and said, "Husband, you are so kind, but I'm hungry."

I said: "I'm hungry, let's not eat at home today, let's go out to eat."

Lin Yan said, "I want to eat Malatang."

At eight o'clock in the evening, I heard someone shouting outside: "The third child——"

The voice was quite loud, the voice of the second child.

When I went out, I saw the second child and the fourth child carrying a desk with a folded round table and a large bag on top of the round table.

Seeing me, the second child said to the fourth child: "Did you see it? It works. You can hear it when you shout."

The fourth child said, "You still have the loudest voice."

Carrying the round table and desk into the room, the second child handed the bag to Lin Yan and said, "Here are some bowls, plates, and some casseroles that are not used in the hotel. You can see if they can be used, and I can see anything. "

Lin Yan took the bag and said, "Oh, that's great. I have all the tables and desks, as well as these plates and bowls. That's great. Thank you." The fourth child said, "Thank you, this is our It should be done for the third sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, your home will be our base in the future, what can we do?
Come to your house, if you cook something delicious, call us. "

Lin Yan said: "No problem, I'm afraid you won't come."

The second child looked at the house and said, "It's okay, this house is very good, it's just right for two people, don't say it, it's okay for the National Day, this time I will do some personnel affairs."

The fourth child said: "It's okay to do things during the National Day, but the work is out of tune, and I don't like doing it. I fish for three days and dry the nets for two days. Now his wife goes to work by herself. He doesn't know how to find a class. I don’t even look for work.”

The second child said: "Didn't he say that his uncle is going to open a decoration company two days ago, and he will go to his uncle's to work."

The fourth child said: "It's all a matter of nothing. It's not certain when it will open. By the way, the second child, you can also rent a house like the third child. It will save you always running to the girls' dormitory when you have nothing to do."

The second child said: "Don't say it's really good. Tomorrow I will chat with the National Day and ask him to rent one for me."

The second child and the fourth child sat for a while and went back to the restaurant.

Lin Yan and we cleaned up for a long time, and we didn't lie down on the bed until almost ten o'clock.

He hugged Lin Yan into his arms and said to her: "Honey, now that I have a place to live, I have to find a job. If there is a job in other places, can I go?"

Lin Yan said: "No, I'm afraid when you leave alone."

I laughed and said, "Just kidding, I don't want to go out of town, I'd rather find a job in the provincial capital."

Lin Yan said: "Look for a job in the provincial capital, as long as you have less work, don't go to other places."

I said, "No, my wife is at home, so I won't go either."
