I opened the door and a curly-haired woman with a cigarette in her mouth stood in front of me.

Isn't it? Didn't Mr. Qi say that he would rather lack than abuse? This time it seems that he is really stimulated, and what kind of bull ghosts and snake gods are recruited!

"Are you...... New here?"

Before I finished speaking, she said categorically: "I'm looking for Li Sen." "It seems that I have a preconception, and Mr. Qi didn't say that there will be new colleagues today.

Who?

I was about to tell her, you're in the wrong place.

No, isn't Li Sen an uncle? I can't remember his name. Because no one called him by his real name.

"Uncle, someone is looking for you. ”

Uncle heard this, "Who is looking for me, are you going to invite me to dinner at this time?" he smiled as he walked out, and when he reached the door, the smile on his face suddenly froze.

I didn't really want to hear the next conversation, but the living room was too big for space.

"Li Sen, I haven't seen you for a long time, why do you live with your niece. "This woman is so powerful, and the tone of her voice is like that of a teaching director.

"No, this is the company, female colleagues, I am old, everyone calls me uncle. ”

"Really, it's old. ”

"You...... Looking for me?" When the uncle saw this "aunt", it was like seeing his wife, because he exuded a temperament of fear of his wife.

"What do you mean I have something to do with you? It's been half a year since you disappeared! I used all my connections to find you, but I didn't expect you to stay in such an inconspicuous small company and collapse, I thought you had the ability to go to heaven!" And the uncle instantly became a "son".

Missing for half a year?uncle?runaway marriage?

"Sorry to disappoint you. He lowered his head, took out a cigarette, and lit one.

"Let's go!"

"What?"

"Go back, I'm at least a five-star hotel, what's wrong with the chef? What's wrong with the gossip? You're still not a man?"

It seems that the vicissitudes on his face are not in vain, he probably came to our small temple to rest when he was tired of being a chef?

"Don't go. Let's go. Uncle lowered his head and said in a deep voice.

"What?

"Don't go!"

There was a snap, two slaps, and then, as soon as the woman turned around, she walked away without looking back.

I hurried back to my seat as my uncle turned to come back, sitting upright, pretending not to hear any of their conversation.

Let a woman, in front of her colleagues, slap her face, or twice, it's so embarrassing, my uncle is really pitiful.

The living room was so quiet that a pin could drop.

I guess it's not just me, except for Xu Hui, who was busy cleaning up the house, everyone else should have seen and heard the scene just now.

It's off work.

I was most afraid that this silence would continue, so I couldn't help but say, "Uncle, do you want to have a barbecue downstairs? ”

"What are you celebrating?" interjected the brain-wrecked Xie Lu.

"Celebrate that I don't have the money to chop my hands!" I replied, winking at him.

"Okay, count me in. He finally got his senses.

"I'll go too, I'll get to know everyone. The new girl chimed in.

"What? don't you call me for dinner?" Xu Hui yelled downstairs.

"Come on, come along, uncle, too. ”

To be honest, I was most afraid of his refusal. But he agreed without even thinking about it.

However, the meal did not seem to relieve his anguish, and he drank wine alone, bottle after bottle. He didn't drink it himself, he started toasting everywhere when he was slightly drunk, and finally drank Xie Lu and Xu Hui down, and he himself was still sober in pain.

The new girl, probably never experienced such a scene, was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she tugged at the corners of my clothes several times, wanting to slip away in advance, but she couldn't speak.

In the end, she finally left under the pretext of going to the toilet and never came back. I texted her and she said to stay one night at the same school.

Towards twelve o'clock, my uncle and I, very dramatically, returned to Ruby with one of us in the arm of a drunkard.

I thought that if I drank too much, I would be able to forget about today after a little sleep. If there were a thousand ways to alleviate a broken love, I would probably choose this easiest one.

And the uncle can't, because he drinks too well.

After settling Xu Hui and Xielu, he sat alone in the living room in a daze.

As a person as sober as he was, I didn't want to see his grief instead, as if someone had been bitten in their private parts and happened to be bumped into by someone.

"Silly Bai Tian, why don't you go to sleep yet? ”

"I can't sleep either. Today's sister ......"

"It's nothing, everyone has some past they don't want to recall. I just happened to be lifted up, and I couldn't bear it. ”

I think of the person I once loved, who once lowered myself to the dust for love, or what kind of liver and intestines.

In the eyes of outsiders, this may be just a little story of a chef who falls in love with his boss, but is ridiculed for wanting to eat swan meat.

Maybe I can't understand it, but the middle-aged man in front of me with a face full of vicissitudes is indeed heartbroken.

I just wanted to disappear silently, leaving him alone for a while. But he spoke first.

"Uncle Zhen met me yesterday and asked me how your work has been lately, whether you have been working overtime on weekends. ”

"Zhen ...... Uncle...... Uncle Zhen?"

"Yes! He boasted to me a while ago that he had finally accepted another apprentice, and that he was still a woman. It's you, right?"

"It's me. ”

"I guessed it. Because there is his shadow and temperament in the food you cook. ”

"The next time you meet him, please tell him, I won't go. ”

"Why are you not going? Now that you are a product manager, you can't look down on the low end of the chef?"

"Not so, uncle. There's some bitterness, I don't want to say. ”

"Okay. He lit a cigarette and said, "It's hard to look back on! I went to that restaurant as a teenager to learn how to cook, and he was already the biggest name in the hotel by then." Everyone went to eat and asked to eat what he made. ”

"You say...... That sister?"

"No, I mean Uncle Zhen!"

Uncle was a little dizzy from drinking, why did he suddenly mention Uncle Zhen to me, a person who had nothing to do with his mood of falling to the bottom?

Maybe it's an instinct to protect yourself. Talk about other people's things, change the subject, and take the opportunity to build a barrier for your own wounds.

However, this is my wound, and I can only talk to him in pain so that he can return to normal a little.

"I haven't had many friends for so many years, and Uncle Zhen and I have been friends for the New Year. At that time, my dream was that Uncle Zhen could take me as an apprentice, but he was always unwilling, even though he had a special conversation with me......"
