The story of a cook

Chapter 164 Normal Life
People can't control their temper, this is not practiced well.

People can't control their desires, which is irresistible temptation.

People still have reason and will, which need to be fully utilized.

Lin Yan is back at home.

Same as last year, tanned.

Everything is going well in Lin Yan's family. Her mother farms and raises pigs at home. The number of pigs raised is more than last year, and it has formed a scale. There are [-] pigs.Her elder brother is still working there and is preparing to take his driver's license test this year.Her younger brother is taking the senior high school entrance examination this year and is preparing to take the high school entrance examination.

Lin Yan told me, "Old Tan, my little brother has to spend a lot of money to go to high school, and my mother doesn't have much money. I want to pay for my little brother's education."

I said, "No problem, it's up to you to decide."

Lin Yan said, "It takes three years."

I said, "Don't you have to study for three years in high school, I haven't heard that it takes two years. It's okay. Aren't we making money now? My mother is the only one in my family. It doesn't cost much. It shouldn't be a problem for your little brother to study. "

Lin Yan said: "It will be fine when my younger brother is admitted to university."

I said, "Hehe, your thinking is too simple. It doesn't cost money to go to college, but you have to spend money. Now there is no free college, so you have to spend money."

Lin Yan said: "My mother said that I can get a loan when I go to college."

I said, "You have to be able to get a loan. There are people in the government who can get a loan. Even if you get a loan, you can't get a lot of money. It's just tuition fees. You have to pay for living expenses yourself. Living expenses are more than tuition fees."

Lin Yan said: "Yes, when I was studying, the tuition fee was not much, but the monthly living expenses were expensive. I didn't dare to eat more. Sometimes I only ate one meal a day. It also cost a lot of money, more than 5000. .”

I said: "You can save enough, 5000 yuan for three years is not enough for a rich family's children to spend for a year."

Lin Yan said: "At that time, I didn't dare to go home until Saturday, and I had to pay the travel expenses to go home."

I said: "My wife is suffering, come, let my husband see."

Lin Yan laughed and said, "I'm going out tomorrow to find a job."

I said, "Don't worry, just stay at home for two days and rest."

Lin Yan said: "You can pay me for resting at home, or find a job quickly, earning money is the most important thing."

Yes, making money matters.

Although money is not everything, but without money is absolutely impossible.

What Lin Yan and I think about is to make money, because we really have no money.Earned money until now still no money.In the end, I concluded that money is endless. With the continuous improvement of living standards and the increasing demand for materials, there is always not enough money to spend.When you earn less, you can still save some money, but when you earn more, you can't save any more.It is said that enough money is enough to spend, mainly depends on what the standard of "enough to spend" is, if the standard of "enough to spend" is always raised, then the money will never be enough to spend.

Lin Yan and I watched a second-hand black and white TV, and we always wanted to change it to a color one, but Lin Yan was never willing to spend money to change it.I always want to save some more money, and I will pay for it when I have enough savings, but I have never changed it.Until one day I said that I don’t care about those things, change one, and change it if you change it. If you don’t change money, you won’t save money, and if you change money, it’s not in vain.This is the same as what people say "fear of being poor". In fact, being poor is not terrible.Poverty is a reality, so don’t be afraid. We are born to change the reality, and it’s over if we do it. The more afraid you are, the less you dare to do it, the poorer you will be.

Of course, the premise of doing anything must be doing the right thing.

The second child was also called Guo Qing and rented a house to live with his little partner.

The house rented by the second child is not far from my house, just a few minutes' walk.The safety measures for the second child were not in place, and the little one was pregnant.The two have never met their parents formally, nor have they said they want to get married.Pregnancy was an accident, so the younger partner quit her job, and the second child led her to have an abortion.

I said to Lin Yan: "You haven't found a job now, so stay at home and take care of your second child. The second child works all day and doesn't have time to take care of her."

Lin Yan was a little embarrassed and said: "Why take care of it, I don't know how."

I said: "I just boil some millet porridge and cook a few eggs. She is young and she can't cook at home. You can ask her to come to our house to eat after you finish it, and that's all."

Lin Yan said: "It would be better for me to cook for her, but I still have to find a job, and I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of her in time."

I said, "That's okay, you can find your job, and just call her when you come back to cook."

Lin Yan goes out to look for a job every day, cooks when she comes back, and calls her second wife over to eat after cooking.There is nothing delicious, just boil some millet porridge, boil a few eggs, and fry a dish, and the two of them will eat at home.

A few days later, when I came back from get off work, Lin Yan said to me angrily, "Old Tan, I can't take care of my second child."

I asked: "What's the matter?"

Lin Yan said: "She has no money herself, and she wants to eat well every day."

I laughed as soon as I heard it, and said: "It must be used at home."

Lin Yan said: "I cooked the millet porridge, boiled two eggs for her, bought some pickles, and made a dish, she was lucky, so she ate the eggs, saying that the millet porridge couldn't be drunk, and the pickles were tasteless. I don’t like to eat. There is no money in my pocket, let me borrow money, I only have 20 yuan in my pocket and gave it to her, do you know what she does with the money?”

I asked: "What are you doing?"

Lin Yan said: "I thought about it for a few days before she spent 20 yuan, and I only spent five or six yuan a day. Who knew that she would eat the thickest Kragus sausage the next day. A carragus sausage is all meat. I wanted to buy one for a long time, but I didn’t dare to buy it because of the money. She was lucky enough to buy it with the money. She also told me that she loves meat. Dinner."

I just laughed and said: "She was spoiled and spoiled at home since she was a child, and she is not hungry."

Lin Yan said: "That's not okay. This is not my home. I can't afford to eat meat every day. Besides, she doesn't want to come to our house to eat. She always likes to buy and eat outside. One chicken rack for a while, and another for a while." If you want to eat stewed duck or pig's trotters, I can't serve you."

I said, "We're just doing our best. If she doesn't like to come to our house for dinner, then she won't come. Let her do what she wants. Isn't she younger than you?"

Lin Yan pouted and said, "Look, I will cook for her when she comes, and I won't call her when she doesn't come."

I said: "OK."

Lin Yan said: "Why did my second child find someone like this? If you look at it, you won't be able to live a life. Sooner or later you will be yellow."

I said, "That's out of our control. Don't worry about it. Let's live our own lives."

The second child is young and pampered at home. She has never experienced any hardships, and she doesn't know how to live. She is still a child at heart, and she has a playful heart every day. She is used to eating meat. Of course I can't eat meat.Lin Yan can only have a dish for dinner. Of course, she is not used to seeing her second child like this, so it is no wonder that she is angry.

Lin Yan was just 21 years old at the time, and she was just a little girl in my eyes. It was hard enough for her to let her take care of the little object of the second child.

Fortunately, Lin Yan is more sensible, and it is true that children from poor families are in charge of the family early.

Lin Yan quickly found a job as a room attendant in a hotel. The hotel was called Xiangyulou Hotel.I asked her why she wanted such a job, and she said that working in a hotel is good, and she works 24/24. She wants to study accounting, and she can have time to study at home during her break.

I said that studying accounting is also very good, so let's learn it.

I dote on Lin Yan, she can do whatever she wants at home, I never interfere, everything is up to her, I can enjoy my leisure.There are a lot of things to do in the restaurant every day. I can’t cook a few dishes, but I am not idle. I feel very tired when I get home. I just want to lie on the bed and sleep comfortably, so I seldom take care of the things at home.

I almost never ask about money. I just ask Lin Yan when I have no money. Every time I ask for money, Lin Yan doesn’t ask me why I want the money, and just gives it to me. I'm sorry for her interest in asking me what I want money for.

If I want to say what my favorite thing to do every day is to come home from work every day, lie on the bed after washing up and enjoy smoking a cigarette, and accept Lin Yan's interrogation while smoking. Like a kitten, it got into the criminal's arms, let the criminal hug him, and fell asleep gently.
