Cao Han is forty-eight years old this year, and he is about to enter the threshold of the elderly. However, it stands to reason that he should not retire at the age of forty-eight, after all, there are still decades to come, and even, like those long-lived old people, who live for nothing, then his life is only half gone, and it is really surprising to be idle at home like this.

Jiuzhou Jiayuan Community, a high-end residential community, and Cao Han, who is a special chef, lives in this community.

In the luxuriously decorated but not extravagant duplex residential building, Cao Han held Erlang's legs in his hand, held today's Changji Morning News in one hand, and held a teacup in the other, taking a sip of tea with a faint fragrance from time to time.

On the balcony opposite him, where the clothes were originally hung, there was a birdcage, and the beautiful thrush was crying all the time, and the pleasant sound made people feel very comfortable.

Cao Han's seemingly leisurely appearance, but his slightly furrowed brows betrayed the boredom in his heart.

If it weren't for that coincidence half a year ago, he overheard the hotel owner and the lobby manager talking about himself while chatting, and the content of the conversation made him angry, how could he be discouraged, how could he quit his job in the prime of life?

Until now, he still clearly remembers what the hotel boss said to the lobby manager at that time, and every word was so chilling to him:

"The surname Cao is my money-making tool, and he thinks that I am usually polite to him, that is, respect him? I'm respecting the money printing machine! In the future, if that guy puts on a stinky face and loses his temper, you don't care about him, to be honest, if it weren't for his level as a cook, who would know how old he was? Let's go, what is there to mention about the money-making machine, accompany me to Fujian City for leisure and entertainment. ”

Reaching out and throwing the Changji Morning News on the sofa beside him, Cao Han pressed his hands on his temples, squatted at home all day, and occasionally went out to drink some wine with a few old friends to relieve his boredom.

Suddenly remembered that the girl who was so beautiful yesterday came to invite him to go out of the mountain, although his disheartened heart gave birth to a trace of emotion, but in the end he still refused, because he didn't want to become a tool for others to make money, anyway, he didn't have to worry about food and clothing, and the living expenses for the rest of his life were enough in previous years.

"After that, I practiced my knife skills at home and carved exquisite flower carving feasts." Cao Han sighed faintly, looked at the lively thrush in the birdcage, and muttered to himself.

"Ding-dong......"

The sound of the door sounded, so that his sluggish look finally came back to his senses, quickly stood up, when he opened the door, a trace of irritation appeared on that face, however, the person who came was a guest, no matter what the other party's purpose was, he could not turn people away. Especially now, people's smiling appearance, as the saying goes: reach out and don't hit the smiling person. He had no choice but to smile bitterly, and turned his head into the hall and said irritably: "I said what happened to you?" I've made it very clear to you, I really don't want to work in your restaurant, I don't have any interest in cooking anymore, and I don't want to work for others and be encouraged by others. ”

It was Li Ruoxi who came to visit, at this time Li Ruoxi looked at Cao Han's irritable expression, and secretly smiled bitterly in her heart, she suddenly felt that she was afraid that her invitation would fail this time, this middle-aged man surnamed Cao was like a stubborn donkey, he didn't get angry with himself, it was already good.

However, since she came, she naturally couldn't back down because of the other party's words, strode into the room behind Cao Han, and asked loudly, "What are you doing?" Mr. Cao, you are now in the prime of life, and I have inquired, your ancestors were the imperial chefs of the Qing Palace at that time, to your generation, cooking skills have reached the peak, your restaurant, no matter what the scale, in the end the business is extremely hot, I sincerely invite you. ”

Speaking of this, a bright light suddenly flashed in her heart, and the last sentence of Cao Han's words just now was keenly captured by her:

Don't want to work for someone else? Hurt by others?

Could it be that he resigned half a year ago because he was angry with others? Having you at home?

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was possible, Li Ruoxi said again: "Mr. Cao, you actually said a lot, I want to invite you to my hotel, the main purpose is to make money, after all, your craftsmanship can make countless people have a great appetite, and there is an endless stream of repeat customers." But I can assure you that I will treat you like a friend, even like an elder, and if you feel tired, you can always rest, and I will not give you any restrictions. In fact, I have a last resort to come here to invite you, and only you may be able to help me. ”

A different color flashed in Cao Han's eyes, and he was moved by Li Ruoxi's words, because staying at home for half a year did make him feel a little empty. However, if he agreed so easily, he still couldn't do it.

"You don't have to say it, I'm still the same sentence, I'm tired, and I won't agree to your request, if there is nothing else, then you can go back! There are many good chefs in this society, but there is no more than me, and there is no less than me. Sitting back on the sofa, Cao Han said nonchalantly.

Li Ruoxi looked at Cao Han's expression, and a sense of helplessness rose in her heart, for Cao Han's persistence, she tried her best to speak yesterday, but the final result was still unsatisfactory. Looking at Cao Han's expression at this time, I am afraid that I will return in vain today.

"Mr. Cao, can you think about it again, I am sincerely here to invite you." Li Ruoxi still didn't give up.

Cao Han shook his head lightly, pointed to the door and said, "Don't send it." ”

***************************************************************

In the evening, when Wang Ke opened the door and walked into the hall, he saw Li Ruoxi with his eyes closed, his brows furrowed slightly, even if he was wearing headphones, but he could see a kind of annoyance on his expression.

Gently walked to Li Ruoxi's side, reached out and gently took off the earphones on her ears, and after Li Ruoxi opened his eyes, Wang Kecai smiled: "What's wrong?" Got something on your mind? ”

Li Ruoxi reached out and patted the sofa beside her, motioning for Wang Ke to sit beside her.

"Yes! Today I visited the special chef surnamed Cao again, but he still did not agree to my invitation, as if he was determined not to agree to my request. Li Ruoxi said helplessly.

Wang Ke pondered for a moment and said, "In this way, you tell me the address and contact information of the special chef, and I will try it tomorrow afternoon, if it really doesn't work, then there is only a replacement." ”

Li Ruoxi smiled bitterly and nodded: "That's the only way." ”

"Let's go! Don't think about these troubles, I'll take you out to eat and go shopping, today I will be generous, I will buy you whatever you like. Wang Ke smiled and grabbed Li Ruoxi's white and slender hand, pulled her up from the sofa and said with a smile.

A bright smile appeared on Li Ruoxi's face, she had already recognized that Wang Ke was the love of her life, and her heart would feel sweet because of Wang Ke's words and deeds.

After a brief tidying up, the two left the house.

"By the way, Wang Ke, do you still remember, when we first met, when we were on the train, I thought you were sent by the family to arrest me back, and I was very wary of you along the way, and then I got off the train, and we met by mistake, and I also made a sudden move on you, now I think about it, I was really like a frightened bird at the beginning, fortunately I met you, otherwise I am afraid that I will be very miserable now." Li Ruoxi took Wang Ke's arm, and said with a chuckle like a bird.

Scenes of the past passed through Wang Ke's mind like a movie, and he chuckled: "Yes! Maybe this is providence, God let me meet you in the crowd, I really wonder, when you came out of the train station, why didn't you take a taxi back to the villa, but left on foot, and even walked in the same direction as me? ”

Li Ruoxi said with a smile: "I was afraid that the people of the family would send someone to follow me, so I didn't rush to take a ride, but walked forward, and by the way, I found an opportunity to find out if anyone was following me behind me, and as a result, I found that you had been following me." ”

Wang Ke suddenly realized and said with a smile: "It seems to be a beautiful misunderstanding, otherwise you would not be able to find a husband who is only eight buckets tall in Yushu Linfeng." ”

Li Ruoxi glanced at Wang Ke coquettishly, and then smiled coquettishly: "Nonsense, who is your wife?" I haven't married you yet! ”

Wang Ke smiled, and then stopped taking advantage of words.

As the saying goes: I have never eaten pork and have seen a pig run.

He has read a lot of books about the time when men and women fall in love, and naturally knows that Lu Dao occasionally comes up with a few words of fancy words in the mouth, which can adjust the ambiguous atmosphere between the two, but if he keeps talking about flowers, then I am afraid that he will be hated by girls, and it is the best choice to stop in moderation.

On the endless streets, the rows of streets, the dazzling array of goods, and the pair of handsome women and men embellish this bustling scene into a beautiful picture.

Wang Ke and Li Ruoxi are only twenty years old, and they exude the breath of youth, especially the relationship between the two, which is more like a bond that makes the two feel happy.

chatting about the bits and pieces of the two getting along in the past, occasionally Wang Ke would tease Li Ruoxi with words, of course, for the kind of charming things in the past, Wang Ke did not mention it, such as the ambiguity when catching the thief, and the mistake of breaking into the bathroom and taking a clean look at Li Ruoxi, he knew that the current relationship between the two has not reached the point where they can talk about this kind of thing.

When falling in love, you also need to carry out the relationship between the two to a certain extent before you can talk about some sensitive topics between men and women.

Time passed slowly, Li Ruoxi did not pull Wang Ke into the shops, but enjoyed holding Wang Ke very much and strolling leisurely in the flow of people.

"Big brother, do you want to buy a bouquet of flowers for this beautiful big sister?" A cute little girl, dressed neatly dressed but very shabby, about six or seven years old, carried a small flower basket with a dozen flaming roses around her wrist. She looked up at her pink little face, her dark and bright eyes without the slightest impurity flashed with expectation, looking at Wang Ke and Li Ruoxi and asked timidly.
