If Wang Ke was full of anger in his heart about Tiezi's stealing before, but after listening to Tiezi and Yaya's words, the anger in his heart has disappeared. Iron stealing is wrong, but if he doesn't have money, can he watch his young sister starve to death?

Speaking of which, Tiezi is still a child, is he willing to be beaten by others after being caught stealing?

Life is like a mountain, firmly pressed on the not so strong back of the iron, and stealing is just a way for him to make a living.

Looking at Tiezi's crying sad expression, Wang Ke sighed faintly in his heart, and said in a soft tone: "Forget it, I forgive you this time, but I need your assurance, from today onwards, you will never steal again, can you do it?" ”

Tiezi's tearful, bloodshot eyes lifted up, and after the color of ecstasy came out of his eyes, he squirmed his mouth a few times, but he didn't say anything, just nodded heavily, indicating that he could do it.

Wang Ke nodded with satisfaction and said, "Where do you two usually live?" ”

"Jingdong Bridge, there is a bridge hole there, big brother, you don't know the road, that bridge hole is very comfortable, except for a little cold in winter, we are not afraid of wind and rain." The little girl stopped crying at this time, the little face with teardrops showed a bright smile, turned her head from Li Ruoxi's arms, looked at Wang Ke and replied.

Bridge holes?

Li Ruoxi and Wang Ke glanced at each other, and then Wang Ke said in a low voice: "Ruoxi, let them live with us!" We'll keep them in the future. ”

Li Ruoxi didn't hesitate at all, hugged Yaya's arm tightly, nodded quickly and said, "No problem, let's raise them together." ”

Tiezi froze, and Yaya froze.

Although the two of them are children, because of the hardships of life, their minds are much higher than their peers, they understand the meaning of Wang Ke and Li Ruoxi's words, they say that they want to take in their brother and sister?

"Master, I'm ......"

Tiezi whimpered and looked at Wang Ke, squirming his lips, and shouted in that hoarse voice.

Wang Ke waved his hand at him, stopped him from continuing, with a smile on his face, and said: "Tiezi, remember what you promised me, from today on, you must not steal other people's property again, if you don't have money, Ruoxi and I will give you money, and we will let you come and live with us, and we will solve the problems of food, housing and clothing." Moreover, Yaya is now at the age of going to school, if you want, we will send her to school, of course, if you want to go to school, we can also send you to school together. ”

Tiezi looked at Wang Ke blankly, and it took two or three minutes before he supported his legs that kept tingling, and endured the fainting sensation caused by not resting for a long time, "Poof" knelt down in front of Li Ruoxi and Wang Ke, and knocked his head three times, then he knelt down and raised his head, wiped the tears on his face, shook his head and said: "Master, Master, thank you, Yaya can go to school, it is something I have always dreamed of." I don't go to school, I have to work to earn money. ”

Wang Ke hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "Since you don't want to go to school, then we won't force you." However, since you call me Master, then I agree to accept you as an apprentice, so my request to you, in the future, not only in learning martial arts, but also in your free time to study cultural knowledge, tomorrow I will go to the bookstore, buy back all the textbooks of the primary school courses, and give it to you, you can study on your own, you can ask Ruoxi if you don't understand, or ask others, but you have to give me a guarantee, within two years, you must complete all the six years of primary school. ”

Tiezi gritted his teeth, his face showed a look of determination, and he nodded heavily and said, "Master, I promise you." ”

Li Ruoxi, who was holding the maid, suddenly said: "Wang Ke, if Tiezi really doesn't want to go to school, then let him follow me!" I'm going to build a hotel and let him work for me, and I think at his age, with me, I can feel more at ease, and I can let him learn a lot. ”

Wang Ke's spirit was shocked, and he immediately said without hesitation: "Okay, then Tiezi will follow you to help in the future, Tiezi, you have no opinion, right?" ”

Tiezi looked at Li Ruoxi and nodded without hesitation.

What happened in the past few days, Li Ruoxi's consolation to him, as well as leaving him a door and letting him go to the kitchen to find food, and even Li Ruoxi sneaked out of the room to see him overnight, he knew that the way was clear, so he was full of gratitude and respect for Li Ruoxi, his wife. can help his wife, even if he exhausts him to death, he is willing.

Wang Ke stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go to Zhao Lao to study first, Ruoxi, you get some food for the two of them first, let them have a good rest, so let's sleep with you in the future, fill a bed in my room, and Tiezi will have a room with me." In the afternoon, when I get back from the special chef surnamed Cao, let's go and help the two of them move. ”

Li Ruoxi nodded when he heard the words and said, "Okay, then I'll cook now, and you can also eat some early and then go to Zhao Lao's, right?" ”

Wang Ke shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'll buy something to eat on the road, it's not early now, I have to hurry over." ”

In the afternoon, after Wang Ke left his own residence, while thinking about the content taught to him by Zhao Menfeng in today's class, he quickly understood it, and rushed to the address of the special chef surnamed Cao's home.

Jiuzhou Jiayuan Community.

Wang Ke got out of the taxi at the gate of the community and strode to find the address given to him by Li Ruoxi.

"Ding-dong......"

The sound of the door woke up Cao Han, who was sitting in the spacious kitchen, immersed in carving a large white radish. With a hint of surprise in his eyes, Cao Han put down the things in his hand and slowly stood up.

Because he had been sitting for too long, his body was slightly stiff, and after moving his body a few times, Cao Han's face showed a wry smile: After a long period of inactivity, his body bones were about to rust.

When he came to the door, when he opened the door and saw Wang Ke standing outside the door, he was slightly stunned, with a trace of confusion in his eyes, and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Wang Ke sorted out Cao Han's information from Li Ruoxi and saw his photos, so he could identify it at first glance, and the middle-aged man in front of him was Cao Han, a national superchef.

With that look of neither resignation nor humility, Wang Ke chuckled and said: "Hello Mr. Cao, my name is Wang Ke, I came here today to visit you!" ”

On the way here, Wang Ke bought some fruit at random, which was also a gift from Cao Han.

Cao Han's eyes flashed with incomprehension, but the visitor was a guest, he still showed a smile and said with a smile: "Hello, please come in!" ”

Following Cao Han into the room, after the two sides took their seats, Wang Kecai smiled and said: "Mr. Cao, I took the liberty to visit, there are many disturbances, and I hope you don't be surprised, in fact, I came this time for a purpose, I don't want to go around in circles with you, the purpose of my visit this time is to hope that you can go out of the mountain, the girl who came to you two days ago is my girlfriend Li Ruoxi." ”

The smile on Cao Han's face gradually disappeared, replaced by deep dissatisfaction, and said lightly: "If you are still for this purpose today, then I don't think there is any need for us to talk about it, I will not be a chef anymore." ”

Wang Ke turned his head to look in the direction of the kitchen, and just after following Cao Han into the room, he found that there were some white radishes with carved shapes at the kitchen door, and through the color and freshness of those white radish, it could be easily seen that just before he knocked on the door, Cao Han should be using white radishes to carve.

For a moment, Wang Ke had a feeling of laughing right and wrong in his heart, he didn't want to be a chef? So why do you practice carving with turnips in the kitchen alone?

Food carving, a skill that almost senior chefs will have, especially in that kind of high-end restaurant, is not exactly required to have both color and flavor, in which the placement of various foods, as well as the carving of fruits, play an important role.

"Mr. Cao, I think a man should be open-minded, and a duplicitous person will not be respected by others. You've been a chef for dozens of years, right? Can it really be completely let go now? Drop your hobbies and waste your talents? ”

Wang Ke looked at Cao Han with a smile, his eyes even showed a bit of ridicule, and he paused slightly for a few seconds before continuing:

"It's like me, I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, but if I really let go of it, it is absolutely impossible, because martial arts training has been integrated into my bones and soaked into my blood, if I don't practice martial arts for a day, I'm afraid I feel something missing in my heart, and that taste is not comfortable. I think, in the six months that you have been at home, I am afraid that you have not lived so comfortably, right? ”

Cao Han's face turned dark, and he was told the central matter by Wang Ke, which made him a little annoyed, snorted coldly, and said slightly angrily: "That's because you haven't encountered a special situation, otherwise you will have a day of discouragement." ”

Wang Ke pointed in the direction of the kitchen and said lightly: "Disheartened? I don't think so, right? If you really don't want to be a chef anymore, if you really don't have the slightest interest in the chef industry, I don't think you will still practice food carving in the kitchen during this time. If you're really disheartened, you'll get bored when you see the kitchen. ”

"Shut up!"

Cao Han was furious, took a few breaths of fierceness, and then suppressed the nameless anger in his heart, his eyes no longer looked at Wang Ke, and as his slightly old body leaned weakly on the sofa, he slowly closed his eyes.

Time passed slowly, Wang Ke, who was sitting opposite Cao Han, was not in a hurry, he understood that Cao Han was thinking about it now, so he could wait.

Finally, when Cao Han slowly opened his eyes, he looked at Wang Ke with a wry smile on his face, and sighed: "I really doubt that you are a young man after all, and I can be regarded as a teacher of your insight and mind." You're right, although it's been half a year since the original incident, I still can't let go of it in my heart, and the words I usually say are insincere. I love cooking, just like you practice martial arts, every time I am bored, I will go into the kitchen, even if I don't taste my cooking, I can use my cooking skills with great interest and enjoy the process. ”

Reaching out and taking out a pack of cigarettes from his clothes pocket, Cao Han took out one and lit it himself, and then threw the cigarette case to Wang Ke, and continued while smoking: "I have fantasized countless times that I want to go out to work, and even that impulse makes it extremely difficult for me to restrain it. However, I am not willing to work for those hypocritical bosses who have one thing on the surface and one thing behind the scenes, and I am not willing to use my labor force to obtain huge benefits for that kind of people. We chefs are not a high-level profession, but we also need respect. ”

Wang Ke thought silently in his mind, as if he had already understood what had happened to Cao Han at the beginning.
