2. Set a small goal
When Gu Bai saw a copy of "Homemade Cookbook" appear in front of him, the whole person seemed to have been struck by lightning, and he was scorched on the outside and tender on the inside. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
This is typically guessing the beginning, but not the result.
He also thought that this lottery would allow him to reach the pinnacle of his life from now on, and the result was ...... I wanted to cry and look at the "Recipe" without tears, but I didn't even have the strength to complain.
"Does the host want to learn now?"
The cold voice spoke again, giving him a 'yes' or 'no' option.
What else can be said? What else can I say? Gu Bai smiled bitterly and nodded, the recipe is the recipe, after all, this is also a skill, if you are not by your parents' side in the future, at least you don't have to eat instant noodles every day.
At the moment when he made his choice, he saw the recipe suspended in front of him, and suddenly a golden light burst out and sucked directly into his head.
For a moment, Gu Bai obviously felt that his head had become richer, and many various home-cooked dishes were clearly engraved in his mind, fused into a part of his body.
"So wonderful?" Gu Bai was stunned.
This time, the system didn't speak, as if it had never appeared, and disappeared without a trace in Gu Bai's head.
So, Gu Bai walked in the direction of home with his head full of memories of home-cooked cooking.
Seeing such a young man, he disappeared at the corner of the alley.
The old ladies who were originally sitting at the door of their house were all a little speechless.
Now what is going on with this young man, how nervous, crying and laughing, I don't know what he wants, the most terrible thing is that he is still standing there talking to himself.
Alas, in this society now, the pressure is too great, this young man is a typical example, it is estimated that the eighth layer is tortured by this pressure and stupid.
Several old ladies looked at them with pity, and they got up and went into the house, and they decided to call their grandchildren and give them some advice.
Don't put pressure on yourself no matter what, it doesn't matter if you make money or not, don't let the pressure torture you like that guy......
After turning around for a while, Gu Bai came to a relatively spacious alley.
Looking at the buildings here, it is obvious that it has been some years, and there are courtyard houses on both sides. Of course, these courtyard houses cannot be compared with those golden old courtyards in Kyoto, which often cost tens of millions.
In the middle of the alley, there is a large locust tree, under which are several tables and several small handmade benches.
Next to it, there is a barbecue stove, but next to the stove are many skewers that have been skewered.
A middle-aged woman was standing in front of the stove, busy with her work, she was Gu Bai's own mother - Li Xiumei.
Don't look at her tall and relatively thin figure, but she is a famous fierce woman here...... If she starts a fire, the neighbors around her will have to retreat.
Pull frame? That's the same as looking for death.
Especially her family heirloom "Nine Yin White Bone Claw", she has been used on Gu Bai since she was a child, and now she has practiced perfectly, reaching the point of a generation of grandmasters.
Looking back, the middle-aged man sitting on a wicker chair, wearing a pair of reading glasses, and holding a mobile phone is Gu Bai's father, Gu Dashan.
An honest man in ten miles and eight towns, a little bit of cultural heritage, but his personality is a little cowardly, since his retirement, his biggest hobby is reading novels, that's right, reading online novels, especially Xianxia, that's his favorite.
Before Gu Bai could come over, Li Xiumei, who was grilling skewers, stomped her feet, turned around angrily, and yelled at Gu Dashan, who was pretending to be an uncle.
"Look at it, you know how to read novels in one day, can you help me do some work, can you move your noble ass?"
Hearing this, Gu Dashan hurriedly put down his mobile phone and stood up in fear.
"That...... Hehe, Xiumei, don't make noise, it's not good for the neighbors to hear, what do you say, just assign it directly, you can't get angry. Gu Dashan said with a hippie smile.
"One by one, all of them don't let me worry, the old ones are like this, the small ones are like this, now our business is getting worse and worse, you just wait to drink the northwest if you go on like this." Li Xiumei chattered.
Gu Dashan is a cultural person, he loves face very much, listening to his daughter-in-law's chatter, he subconsciously glanced around, and happened to see Gu Bai gloating not far away.
I was angry in my heart, and my face sank and I said, "Da Zhuang, what are you doing there?" Why don't you hurry up and come over to help, your mother has been looking for you for a long time. ”
Gu Bai was speechless for a while, this is his father, his father is a son.
stepped on slippers and walked over slowly: "Dad, you are really ......" The words behind it are really unspeakable, no matter what, it is also our father.
"Don't talk nonsense, you came back just in time, hurry up and help with the work, there is still some mutton in the house, you and your father will skewer it and take it out......" Li Xiumei said in a slightly soothing tone.
Gu Bai nodded, turned around and walked towards the house.
Don't look at this small barbecue stall as inconspicuous, it's the main source of income for the family.
This barbecue stall has existed since Gu Bai can remember, and my mother will show up at the door on time almost every day, busy with her business.
Generally, the barbecue is only in the evening, and then considering that there is still a lot of surplus during the day, my mother took great pains to make use of the breakfast time.
In this way, selling breakfast in the morning and skewers in the evening, it has been more than ten or twenty years of ups and downs in a blink of an eye.
For this barbecue stall, Gu Bai is grateful and affectionate.
If there is no barbecue stall, just my father's death may not be able to support the expenses of the whole family, let alone provide for him to graduate from college.
Of course, the most important thing to thank is this mother who works tirelessly and is busy all day long, and she doesn't even have rest and holidays......
Although it is summer, the business of barbecue stalls is getting colder and colder day by day.
The old customers who used to frequented it have either moved and stopped living here, or their souls have returned to the west. Today's young people, who would like to eat these skewers with an average taste and no characteristics?
As a result, business is dismal, and so is income.
Until more than ten o'clock in the evening, seeing that there were really no customers, my mother closed the stall.
In the main room, Gu Bai sat in the living room watching TV, and his father sat on the sofa next to him, holding a mobile phone and reading novels, and complaining from time to time.
Mom walked in, took off her oily coat, and went into the bathroom to wash her hands.
"Da Zhuang, are you coming back to stay for a few days? Are you okay over there? "The person hasn't come out yet, and the voice has already come out.
Gu Bai's resignation has not been mentioned to his family, and he really doesn't dare to mention it.
Although his job is average and his salary is just that, his mother and father attach great importance to it, thinking that it is an iron rice bowl, and doing a good job is a lifetime.
Don't want to be rich and expensive, but you will have a stable income in the future.
This is the idea of the older generation, and I believe that the parents of many families also think so.
Gu Bai smiled, looking a little embarrassed: "It's okay, I'm resting normally, I'll leave after coming back for a few days." ”
"Well, that's okay, this time Mom will prepare some of our local souvenirs for you, and when you come back, you will be empty-handed, and bring them back to share some ......with your leaders and colleagues," Mom said as she walked out.
Gu Bai nodded and didn't speak.
The father, who was reading a novel and reading it with relish, threw down the phone coldly, his face full of anger.
Gu Bai was speechless, this was not the first time, and he had long been used to it.
But he never expected that this time his father would actually shift the topic to himself, deep and serious.
"Da Zhuang, do you have any goals and plans for this year?"
Gu Bai was stunned: "What is the goal?" ”
Dad shook his head, and said with a look of hatred: "You see that you are not too small, don't know all day long, work is important, but under appropriate circumstances, you must also have some social activities, such as making a few friends, for example, looking for a partner or something......"
"Stop, Dad, don't you know me? My personality is the same as you, I don't steam steamed buns, I have to fight for breath, and I won't consider getting married and having children until my career is really successful. Gu Bai hurriedly said.
Hearing this, Comrade Lao Gu nodded, what he said is not wrong at all, this child is up to him, and he has to fight for breath if he doesn't steam steamed buns, isn't it his life motto when he was young?
Of course, he dared to say this in his heart, and he really wanted him to say it directly...... I guess before he finishes speaking, there will be a train of words waiting for him on his mother's side.
Why bother to find yourself unhappy? It's also good to entertain yourself.
"That's right, it's okay to focus on your career first, so you didn't set a goal for yourself this year? Or is it a plan or something? After pondering for a long time, Comrade Lao Gu continued.
Set a goal? This can be had, Gu Bai smiled mysteriously, approached the old comrade Gu, and asked in a low voice: "Father, what novel are you reading now?" ”
Just now, I was still serious, and I was going to talk about life with my son, and I was going to talk about my ideal old Gu, but when I heard about the topic of novels, it was like becoming a person.
Immediately lowered his voice, trying not to let the mother in the back room hear:
"Xianxia, called "Wine Monk", it's not very interesting, my mother-in-law and mother-in-law are too grinding, and you have to write several sheets to kill someone, and this money is blind."
"The Wine Monk?" Gu Bai said in pieces, I really haven't heard of this name, it's very unfamiliar, "It's better to call it "Flower Monk". ”
"Hmm...... Flower Monk? Kind of interesting, new book, huh? It's also Xianxia's? Lao Gu's eyes lit up, and he was about to touch his mobile phone with great interest.
Well, this is a typical old bookworm.
"Don't mind, my dear father, that's what I said, who knows if it's ...... By the way, didn't you just ask me if I had set a goal for myself? I'll tell you right now, I really set myself a small goal. Gu Bai said with a smile.
"What goal?"
"Hehe, I'm going to go to an Internet café tomorrow morning."
Comrade Lao Gu: "......"
