(forty-nine)
On the day of the opening of May Day, Cowbell also invited her witness Xiao Xian, of course, the main purpose of this day is to let Xiao Xian come and rub it. Cowbell estimates that business will be good on the first day of business, so if the business is not so good, you should invite relatives and friends to rub it off. If there are many other diners in addition to this meal, then these relatives and friends will come in handy to help her. It seems that this seemingly honest cow in the past is now really enough for his brains.
The chef she invited was from their own village, that is, Li Xing's cousin. Li Xing's cousin Li Yulin is thirty-two years old this year, but he is now the only one in his family except for a mother. So, on this day, Cowbell also invited his mother.
On this day, everything was according to the instructions of the cowbell, and the chickens, ducks, fish, meat, and vegetables were all well prepared. The weather was also very good on this day, and the weather on this day was as sunny as eight years ago in 88 years, when they went to Xishanping. The atmosphere of this day is more than that of Xishanping, and the atmosphere here on this day is like a paradise of joy, full of joy and cheerfulness.
The reason is: This is not only the relatives surnamed Li, but also the sister of Li Xing, who is over eighteen years old and is already in her second year of high school.
It also invited the parents, brothers and sisters-in-law of the cowbell mother's family, plus urban and rural tourists who came to visit, and diners who cheered, as well as neighbors. It was really lively until late at night.
That night, when some of the guests walked to the gate of the fence, they looked up and saw the four big characters of "Xingning Paradise" on the high side of the fence gate, which were very dazzling under the illumination of the lanterns. Looking inside, the colorful houses and tree shadows inside look like a corner of the Grand View Garden. It's just that the pretty women in the Red Mansion are missing.
That day, Xiaoxian and some relatives who helped were also tired, and only in the end did they send all the guests away. Therefore, the opening of this day is auspicious, which increases the confidence of cowbell in this industry.
In the future, there will not be such a good business every day. Because generally speaking, farmhouses still rely on Sundays and holidays to do good business, and usually there are a few customers. Therefore, when there is no business, Cowbell still helps the family farm and do housework.
Therefore, now there is a small problem that is the arrangement of chef Li Yulin, and Niu Ling is saying to him that day: "Brother, since I have invited you, my request is that you not leave here." But like this, when there is no business, you can't play well, if you stay here, sometimes he has no business all day long, sometimes when you are not here, his business comes again. Let's discuss this problem and see how to solve it. Li Yulin said: "I'm also thinking about this, I just stay with you all day, I don't sit still when I'm fine, and sometimes I always want to run outside." This business that ran away from you is here again, it's better to run closer, and I'll be back after a while. Sometimes it's a bit of a hassle to run far away, and people can't wait to eat, which really affects your business. ”
She asked him, "Do you still have land at home?" "If you plant a little, that little bit of land does not delay people, and that little bit of land is also made by my mother." "So what are you doing running out?" "I like to go out on the street and watch the video, and I can't stop watching it. So if you page, I won't be able to come back for a while. She looked at him and said, "Oh, no wonder people who don't have wives and children are so free and loose without restraint." He grimaced and said, "It's okay for a day, so I'm here to kill time." She knew that he had been married before, but then his wife ran away, and she really didn't know why his wife ran away, so she asked, "Why did your wife run away, also because you want to watch the video?" "That's not it, when I got married, I didn't have a video yet." "Then why, are you lazy?" "No, it's that she thinks I'm poor, let's be clear, and she thinks I'm short." He said very seriously: "Maybe she found a rich one outside, so she ran away." "Oh. She looked at his figure of about 1.62 meters and thought: Most women just like men to be tall and handsome, but they often don't look at what kind of material they are. In my opinion, this Li Yulin is still okay.
She said, "Then did you get a marriage certificate when you got married?" "No, at that time, it wasn't that she looked at me as simple, I was a mother by my side, and my mother was still doing it, and I was still learning to cook at that time." Maybe it was because she was hot-headed at the time, she thought the chef was looking for money. However, the chef is not looking for money to make money in a while, it is not about how well he learns, but also about his own opportunities. At that time, the introducer and her family said yes, and she believed it, maybe for her, she blamed herself for being naïve at that time, and she thought it was simple. As for the marriage certificate, it was said at the time that it was the same to get married first and then apply for a certificate. "Then did she like you when you were friends?" "Yes, she just liked me at that time, and we weren't far away, just eleven or twelve miles away, and many times she took the initiative to find me, and it was she who took the initiative to find me when that happened to us later, and she took the initiative to do that." When he said this, he lowered his head, and he looked a little sad.
She asked again, "How long have you been married?" and "It's been more than a year, almost a year and a half." "Why haven't I had children for so long?" "How do I know? I don't know why." Actually, in fact, we were still very good at that time, but unfortunately we didn't have children, and if we had children, it was possible that she wouldn't be able to run. She looked at him at this time, and there was a look of innocence and nostalgia, she thought, they must have been very affectionate at that time. She asked, "You must love her too, don't you?" "Love, I still can't figure it out, and she ran away like that without a trace." "So, she's been so many years, you don't know where she's gone. "That's it. I went to their families, and they said they didn't know where they were. They also said that it was okay that we didn't come to ask for someone, but you still came to ask us. Whether you abused our daughter and she ran away is not necessarily. So I didn't want to inquire anymore. Hearing him say this, she sighed for him, and she sighed for herself. She said: "Alas, things in the world are like this, the person you are most reluctant to reluctant, but he wants to leave you." The thing you hate the most, but it always clings to you. Therefore, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. She asked him again, "Have you ever thought about getting married?" He replied very simply: "Yes, it's just not easy to find! Like us, who have no family background, no figure, and are honest, ordinary girls don't look down on them." When she heard him say this, her heart really moved, but she endured it again.
She said: "Now I think about it, you still don't leave here every day, this salary, I will give you the average salary of the cook in the city now, you see if it will work." If it's okay, that's it. It's just that you have to get over your addiction to watching videos. Of course, if there are important things, you can still ask for leave, since I said so, you don't have to think about whether I have a business or not, and I won't lose your salary. He was very satisfied, but he was still a little worried that if she did this, she would lose money if the business was bad. He said, "You're so good, then I'll try my best to overcome it." She looked at him and said seriously: "It's not that you can't get over it, it's not that you don't go." It's still okay to go home and do some work when you're free, because it's just a few steps, and you'll come with a shout, and you have to take care of your mother more. You squeeze your money tighter, and you still have to ask for a wife, you know. She changed from serious to smiling as she spoke, laughing at herself as if she were talking about her child, when in fact she was a few years younger than him.
But he took her words to heart. The world is that there are many people who can't listen to their parents' bitter words, but they can listen to their teachers, or they think that he admires that person's words, even though that person's words are not necessarily so useful.
After a few months, Cowbell summed up that although her profit was not as much as when Li Xing raised chickens, it was still higher than when the two people worked in the factory at that time. For her, she was still satisfied. She also thought that this farmhouse also has seasonalities, such as spring and autumn, and some holidays, and business is better, if you use a year-to-date summary, it will be more accurate.
Since Li Yulin talked to Cowbell, he hasn't left the farmhouse casually. When he's fine, he walks around the neighborhood, and sometimes he comes home to see and help his mother with some work in the fields. Besides, when there is no business, there are three or two tables of mahjong people every day, and he sometimes looks at playing mahjong, and he also helps the card player to add tea and pour water. It's good that he doesn't play cards.
Because he doesn't play cards, and because he has a gentle temper, Cowbell admires him. She often uses him to compare Li Xing in her heart, she sees that although he does not have Li Xing's enthusiasm for his career, and he is not as chic as Li Xing, his skills are still very passable. In the months he's been helping her cook, everyone who has eaten here has said that the chef tastes good. She thought: As long as a person has a good craft, he will have food wherever he goes, which is not bad.
She thinks about it all the time, and sometimes she feels inexplicable to herself. She thought: My husband has only been gone for so long, am I thinking about getting married again, isn't this cranky?
Although she often reminded herself not to think about it, she often couldn't stop thinking about it. This has really become a heart disease that she can't get rid of.
