The story of a cook

Chapter 218 Such a Coincidence
When I came out of the Vesley Hotel, I checked that it was past eleven o'clock, and went straight home.When I got home, Lin Yan was going out to go to work. Seeing me coming back, I asked how things were going, and told her to go to work tomorrow. She saw that I was very happy to find a job, and went to work by bike.

The implementation of work matters is to solve the top priority.Although I don't worry much about work, having a job and not having a job are two different things.If you have a job, you have a source of income, and the family will spend money loosely; if you don’t have a job, you have no source of income, and you have to be tight when spending money.My concept of life is to earn money and save money. Although the family can’t save money, going to work every day proves that I have income. Having income is better than having no income.

Although I like to drink and smoke, I don't go out to eat and drink, and I don't waste money. I don't have anything to do with singing and looking for girls.Drinking with friends is also a matter of you asking today, and tomorrow I invite each other.Knowing that I don't have much money in my pocket, I don't take the initiative to go out to contact people for drinks. If I get hungry, I can drink at home by myself, which can save money after getting over the alcohol addiction.

But the money that needs to be spent has to be spent. You can't pretend to be ignorant, and you can't be like that.

There is still half a day to stay at home, and there is nothing to clean up at home. There is nothing in the family, except for the pots and pans for eating, and a few changes of clothes. The most valuable thing in the house is the color TV I bought later.When Lin Yan left the house, she had already finished packing, and there was no laundry to do.Seeing that there is nothing wrong, turn on the TV and lie on the bed to watch the news, which is also very good.

It's been a long time since I stayed at home so leisurely. Thinking about this is the life a person should live, I really enjoy it.

Before I can enjoy it, I have to struggle for at least 30 years, and I can enjoy it after 30 years.

Think about the eldest sister, the eldest sister has brought her daughter-in-law into the home, and it looks like she can enjoy it, but in fact she doesn't enjoy it, and the things to worry about are still to come.It is okay for sons and daughter-in-law to be filial, but if they are not filial, they will still be angry.In addition, it's okay for the young couple to live a good life, but if they don't live a good life, they will fight and make trouble all day long, and they will be more worried when they are old.

People, in this life, maybe the only day when you close your eyes is enjoyment.

In fact, whether people enjoy it or not is a matter of mentality.

Life is beautiful, although there are waves, but to live with an attitude of appreciation is to enjoy life.

Live as a human being and live as the foundation.

Life has never lacked excitement, but there are too few people who know how to appreciate it, and they don't know how to enjoy it.

The pager rang, look, it is a nearby number, it is either National Day or Hebei, this time should be National Day.

I don't want to answer the phone, it's too cold in winter.

Thinking about my cold, the person who called the pager was even colder. He should still be waiting at the phone booth for my call back.

I had no choice but to get up and answer the phone in order not to expose others to the cold.

I called, and I asked, "Hello, who is this?"

Laughter came from over there, and it was Zhang Li who heard it, and she said, "I, Zhang Li, Master Tan, I heard that you are back."

I said, "Well, I'm back, you're quite well informed."

I thought of the girl who came to my house yesterday to borrow a washboard.

Zhang Li said: "You can't escape my palm."

I laughed and said, "Why don't you run away, that's good. Don't say your power went out again."

Zhang Li said: "There is no power outage this time, and the business is closed."

I was surprised and asked, "Why is it still closed?"

Zhang Li said: "It's a shame that you are still from Santaizi, so you don't know this. This place was originally built illegally, and it has been stripped away in the past few days."

I was shocked, and asked: "All the restaurants? All the restaurants on that street were all stripped?"

Zhang Li said, "Yes, all of them have been demolished. You thought the Cheong Wa Dae was the only one to be demolished. The restaurants on this street are all built illegally."

That year, all the provincial capitals were removing illegal buildings, from Tiexi to Dadong, from Yuhong to Shenhe, as long as the illegal buildings were removed, and some windows and doors were all sealed and restored to their original state .After that rectification, the streets are indeed much wider and brighter.

I said, "Fast enough."

She said: "It's not too soon. The Communist Party orders it to pick up as soon as it says, and who dares to stop it."

I asked, "Is the compensation paid?"

She said, "Yes, I won't give it to anyone." Then she asked me, "Leave that aside, where are you?"

I said, "at home."

She said: "It's just noon, and I haven't eaten yet. How about going to eat hot pot?"

I said: "Go, I haven't eaten yet, I'll wait for you at the hot pot restaurant."

"I'm going with a friend," she said.

I said, "I happen to have a friend too."

She said: "No way, if I say I have friends, then you say you have friends, and lie to me."

I said, "You lied to me too."

She smiled on the phone and said, "You're so smart, then wait for me there, and I'll pack up and go over there."

Putting down the phone, I remembered what my second sister-in-law in the backyard said, asking me to take care of her niece Zhou Xiaomei.I touched my pocket, took out the phone number that my second sister-in-law gave me, and called it directly. When the phone was connected, a female voice came from the other side: "Hello, Vesley Hotel."

To be honest, I was quite surprised. How did I get to the Vesley Hotel?But the phone was connected, and I had to talk, and said, "Hi, help me find Zhou Xiaomei, thank you."

The other side said: "Okay, just wait a moment."

Just listening to the shout: "Zhou Xiaomei—call! Hurry up—"

After a while, there was the sound of the phone being picked up, followed by a strong Beipiao accent: "Hello, who is looking for me?"

I asked with surprise and disbelief: "Are you Zhou Xiaomei?"

A vigilant voice came from over there: "I am, who are you?"

When I heard that it was, I thought this is it, what a coincidence, the provincial capital is so big, she actually works in the Weishili Hotel where I will work tomorrow, what a coincidence, she has been working for five or six years Such a coincidence happened once.

I said, "I'm from your hometown. Your aunt gave me my phone number and asked me to call you."

She asked suspiciously: "My old aunt? Which old aunt am I?"

I said, "It's from Old Tan's family in Heshanggou. Is that your old aunt?"

She paused, probably thinking, and said, "Yes, it's my old aunt."

I said, "That's right, I'm your aunt's brother-in-law. You may have forgotten that my name is Tan Guohua. You were a year older than me when you were in high school, and you belonged to the sports team."

She paused again, and said after a few seconds: "Oh——I have the impression, are you from the front yard of my old aunt's house?"

I said, "Yes, you remember?"

She said, "I remember, why do you have this phone number?"

I said, "Your aunt gave it to me and told me to call you and ask how you are doing. She misses you very much."

She said, "Oh, I'm fine."

I said, "That's good. I'm also working in the provincial capital. If you need anything, you can call me. They are all relatives or classmates."

She smiled and said, "Yes, where are you doing now?"

I said: "It's a coincidence that I will go to your place to do it tomorrow. I didn't know you were doing it there. I was still at your place to try the dishes in the morning."

She said: "Yes, it's quite a coincidence. Today I work late. When I came here, I heard that a chef came to try dishes in the morning. I didn't know it was you."

I said, "I don't know what you're doing there, but that's fine, we'll work together in the future."

She said, "That's right, are you coming to work tomorrow?"

I said: "Yes, I will go there tomorrow, let's talk when we meet tomorrow, you are still in class, don't delay."

She said, "Okay, let's talk when you come to meet tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, I couldn't help laughing, what a coincidence, there are such coincidences in the world, it would be great if it was such a coincidence to meet Yaru.

Things in the world are tricky, unpredictable, the sky is not beautiful, laugh at the sky.

Things in this world are really hard to tell. I don’t know when and what will happen to me, and I don’t know who I will meet in where. I just have to live a normal life with a normal heart.

After feeling a lot of emotion, the pager rang. When I looked at the number, I thought it was Zhang Li. She didn't answer and walked directly to the hot pot restaurant.
