Huang Hou, 39 years old this year, is a Western chef, and his usual work is not very busy, because he has achieved the position of the head chef of Western cuisine, and the salary is also generous, with a monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan, which should be regarded as a high salary among salarymen.

But in the past two years, he has felt more and more indebted to his family, his wife, daughter, and parents.

It's not that he spends money outside, and he doesn't have much money for his family every year, in fact, he is usually very frugal outside, he eats and stays in hotels, and he also has filial piety to his younger brother below for tobacco and alcohol, and he can make more than 10,000 yuan to his wife's account every month.

He felt indebted to his wife, daughter, and parents for companionship!

As a father, since the birth of his daughter, he only has more than ten days to accompany her every year, and he can't educate his daughter by his side and bring her a childhood with a father by his side and a sense of security, which is where he blames himself.

As a husband, he and his wife have been separated for a long time, and can only communicate with her through mobile phones and videos, giving her comfort, and it is also a place for him to be ashamed.

In the dead of night, Huang Hou often asked himself, and in the end he always found that he was not a good father or a good husband.

To his parents, he doesn't seem to be a good son.

His parents are getting old day by day, but he can't fulfill his filial piety by their side for a long time, and when his parents are sick and have a small disaster, he can only care about it by phone.

The salary of a chef is higher than that of ordinary jobs, but it also requires a lot more than other jobs.

Let's not talk about the hard work on weekdays, just say that Huang Hou has not gone home for more than ten consecutive years for the New Year, and when others rest and reunite with his family, it has always been his busiest time.

He can only save up his rest days every year, usually day long, and save all his rest days until the hotel is not busy after the year, so that he can go home and stay for about half a month at a time.

The older he gets, the more he hates the job, and the more guilt he feels about his family, he has thought about changing jobs, or returning to his hometown to find a job as a chef, and spend time with his wife and daughter while working.

But reality doesn't allow it.

He and his wife have not paid off the mortgage on the house they bought, and the monthly tuition fees for his daughter's interest classes, family expenses, supporting her parents, etc., are not small every month.

The profession of chef also has a peculiarity - that is, it is difficult to get a high salary locally, and generally the farther away from home the place of work, the more you can get a high salary.

It's a sadness.

Obviously with a high salary that ordinary people can't get, Huang Hou has always had a feeling of being overwhelmed by life, and this pressure has made him reject his wife's idea of having a second child more than once.

Does he really not want to give birth?

He actually wants to give birth, he doesn't dare to increase his pressure anymore, he is afraid that one day he will not be able to afford the family's expenses after he can't get such a high salary.

The chef is not a state civil servant, he can only get a day's salary if he works for a day, and if something happens to his body one day and he can't work, he will be laid off directly, and he will be paid for retirement or something, there is no salary at all.

He was afraid that the child would be born, and one day he could only let the child live a hard life with them.

He doesn't want his children to work as hard as himself in the future, which is the main reason why he would rather work in the field all the time and support his wife to enroll her daughter in various interest classes.

He has no education himself, no other skills, he hopes that his daughter can have more things, and she will not have to work as hard as him in the future.

The topic is far away, and Huang Hou has moved all this year's holidays to June.

In previous years, he would rest after the New Year and go back to accompany his family, but this year he deliberately adjusted the holiday to June, with only one purpose - that is, to bring his wife, daughter, and parents to the capital to play for a while.

My daughter took the high school entrance examination this year and finished the exam a few days ago.

He promised last year that he would take all of them to the capital for a trip at the end of her high school entrance examination this year.

This is Huang Hou's principle as a father.

He already owes his daughter a lot, and he doesn't want to leave an impression in his daughter's mind that he doesn't mean to speak.

On this day, he brought his wife, daughter, and parents to the Great Wall.

As he had heard before, the Great Wall was overcrowded, and Chinese and foreign devils could be seen everywhere.

But Huang Hou is very happy, because his wife, daughter and parents are very happy, the Great Wall is a place that his daughter has always wanted to come, this time he finally helped her realize this wish, he is very happy, and he feels that his daily hard work has meaning.

Especially when looking at the heartfelt smiles on the faces of their daughters and wives.

Huang Hou didn't look at the scenery much, he carried the camera and smiled and kept looking for opportunities to take pictures of them, a few here and a few there, including a single photo of his daughter, a single photo of his wife, a group photo of their mother and daughter, and a group photo of his parents.

"Dad, Mom, Xiaohui, Nannan, all stand up, I'll take a group photo of you!"

Walking to another beacon tower, Huang Hou excitedly told them all to stand in front, and he wanted to take a group photo of them.

Parents, wives and daughters all agreed, and they were very interested.

The daughter also said, "Dad, why don't you find someone to help, you can come and take a picture with us!"

His daughter's crisp words made Huang Hou feel relieved for a while, his daughter was very filial, which was the most gratifying to him, and he hurriedly looked for suitable tourists around.

Soon, he saw a couple with sweet smiles walking hand in hand on the beacon tower, Huang Hou's eyes lit up, and he immediately walked over and squeezed out the most kind smile, and said to the young man: "Young man, hey, young man, can you do me a favor? Delay you for a few seconds, can you take a family photo for us?"

Huang Hou's appearance is a bit fierce, there is no way, he has been a chef for a long time, he has been a conductor for a long time, and over time, he has slowly developed a somewhat fierce temperament.

In front of his girlfriend, the young man was as Huang Hou expected, and he said very well, so he agreed after hesitating.

Huang Hou immediately handed over the camera to him, and walked over excitedly to hug his wife and daughter, showing a bright smile like his wife and daughter, and was photographed by the camera over there.

……

When he returned to the hotel room in the evening, Huang Hou pulled up the photos in the camera and showed her one by one at the request of his daughter.

The father and daughter discussed which photo was taken well and which photo was almost meaningful.

Suddenly, her daughter exclaimed, "Hey, this person is so familiar!

Huang Hou looked at it, and his daughter was referring to a photo of their family taking a group photo this afternoon, and a young man was actually reflected in the edge of the photo.
