Tian Fu, 28 years old this year, has a family of five, grandmother, father, mother, and a younger sister who is in college. There is a small restaurant at home, 30 square meters, and the store can set up eight tables for eight people, and it is not good to talk about how good life is, nor how bad it is, and it is also a matter of maintaining the family's basic food and clothing for the younger sister's tuition.

He, like most people, came to S City to work hard for his dreams, a warm little home in the future, far away from his hometown and family. One meter seven or eight tall, just reached the national average height average, the legs are not long, the nose is not straight, the two eyes are one big and one small, the eyebrows are sparse, the lines on the face are not angular, and there is a scar on the face from the eyebrow bone to the chin, which is the scar left by the fight and bite when he was a child, and the scar left on the road teeth, with his eyes, the whole person looks very gloomy. Because he usually insists on exercising every day, he has a body of tendon meat, six-pack abs and a beautiful vest line, but unfortunately because of the relationship between his face and introverted personality that he is not very good at talking, so far there is no sister paper who really appreciates him, a single dog.

Tian Fu is an ordinary person, and the only difference between his family and ordinary people is that he has a dream since he was four years old - to become the best chef in hot pot. And he has persevered until now, when he was eight years old, he learned to cook with a chef who has been in the business for 30 years. According to Master Tian Fu's evaluation of him: In this world, there are only a few people who can surpass him in knife skills with five fingers, and there are only a handful of people who can control the heat when stir-frying.

Three years ago, something unpleasant happened, Tian Fu left the restaurant opened by his master, went out alone to learn art, brought a set of kitchen utensils alone, and saw dishes from all over the country. Often I don't stay in one place for ten days and half a month, and then change cities. Although Tian Fu's master gave him a lot of salary, but so often running around, Tian Fu's money saved in the early years was almost used by him, half a year ago, he thought that he should learn the skills to learn, the people who should be seen have seen, the things that should be mastered, the minions have been sharpened and strong, and it is time to go it alone.

He returned to S City, where he had lived for nearly 20 years, with confidence, just to save enough 100,000 yuan to fulfill his childhood dream of opening a hot pot restaurant. He thinks that the skills of opening a small shop by himself are enough, but he lacks many trivial things in the supply and stocking. He chose to work as a chef in a small hot pot restaurant where food is the sky, and he has long learned about this area. Tian Fu's knife skills and control of the heat are indeed quite high, which makes the business of the small shop very prosperous, so the owner of the hot pot restaurant made an exception and gave Tian Fu a salary of 8,000 yuan a month.

At half past six in the morning of xx month, yesterday the typhoon landed in other cities, it rained heavily overnight in S city, Tian Fu got up early when the rain had stopped, he was going to go to the people's park not far from the urban village for routine exercise, just walked out of the alley, and saw a middle-aged man in his forties pushing an electric car over, the man was the same height as Tian Fu, his skin was dark, and his appearance was also very ordinary, there was nothing surprising, wearing coarse cloth clothes, and a Meituan takeaway uniform was worn outside. The blue raincoat cover is pulled on the body, the whole body is wet, the spirit is not very good, the look is very tired, the shoulders rise and fall up and down when pushing the cart, it seems to be staggering, when walking, the rain boots will make a sound of water swaying.

Tian Fu thought to himself that under normal circumstances, there is water in the boots, and people will be uncomfortable to wear, even if they are wet, they will pour out the water in the boots. Tian Fu looked at the person's indifferent appearance, coupled with the appearance of being wet all over, and said in his heart: "He may be numb because he poured too much, so he doesn't want to bother to pour it." He looked at it for a while, and found that the man was embarrassed and somewhat familiar in shape, and couldn't help but frown and whispered, "This is?" Old Don? Quickly stepped forward and walked a few steps, the distance was shortened, and when the two were one step apart, Tian Fu stopped and said, "Huh? Old Tang, how did you make it like this? ”

Lao Tang's real name is Tang Weimin, and he is a delivery person for Meituan Takeaway, and he usually delivers takeaway at the store where Tian Fu works, so the two know each other. Tang Weimin said: "Oh, this! At half past two in the morning, I took an order and sent it to Huxi Villa. So that's it! ”

Tian Fu was a little puzzled and said: "Huxi Yayuan is about ten kilometers away from here!" Anyway, yesterday was a typhoon transit! Are you still going to deliver it at two o'clock? Tang Weimin said helplessly: "Who asked that boss to open an order of two hundred yuan?" Tian Fu was puzzled: "This pouring rain and increasing wind, you will give two hundred yuan, and you are not afraid of accidents?"

Tang Weimin sighed and said, "This is also a helpless thing, if I don't earn these two hundred yuan, who will give it to me?" My big one, seeing that the college entrance examination is about to take place, the results of the last mock exam, one is eight or nine, and it is not good to be able to go to Tsinghua University and Peking University. The small, the third year of high school next semester, the grades are not worse than the big ones, plus two old people to support, this is not counting the daughter-in-law! Do you think I can not fight? ”

Tian Fu lived a life where one person fed the whole family and was not hungry, and his understanding of the family was not as good as that of Tang Weimin, the head of the family, and he was a little confused: "This?" Tang Xiaomin, looking at the confused Tian Fu, knew that he was a bachelor, and he didn't understand the importance of supporting his family, and couldn't help but think that he was no different from him when he was young, "At that time, I was also one person who fed the whole family and was not hungry, there was a delicious one person to eat, and if I didn't like to eat, I threw it away, chic, comfortable, handsome, cool is the pursuit, money is a number, which is like what I do now, I have to ask how much money first!" He smiled at Tian Fu and shook his head, and suddenly thought of the hard years of surviving difficulties with his daughter-in-law: "At that time, I was as old as the young man in front of me, the same confused, in order to be with my daughter-in-law, I took out a loan to buy a house, bought a car, and paid more than 3,000 a month, and then my daughter-in-law was pregnant and raised her body at home." After deducting his living expenses, there is not much left of his salary of more than 5,000 points a month. Later, after the birth of the child, the milk powder money of 1,000 a month... I got sick as soon as my daughter-in-law gave birth to my second child, and this illness is half a year! The daughter-in-law didn't even sit in confinement, so she went out to work, I really don't know how the daughter-in-law survived at that time! But now it's all over ... Thinking of this, Tang Weimin's face unconsciously brought three points of bitterness, three points of relief, and four points of sweetness.

Tian Fu was puzzled by the complicated expression that suddenly appeared on Tang Weimin's face, and said, "Old Tang, who are you?" Tang Weimin sighed again, patted Tian Fu's shoulder with his hand, and said, "It's nothing, just to see you sigh about when I was young!" Tian Fu said: "I really don't understand why you have to deliver takeaway so far in such bad weather." Tang Weimin gave a thumbs up and tapped his chest and said with a smile: "This, simple, me!" As both a father and the head of the family, I don't eat for my family outside, do I still want others to go? ”

Tian Fu said: "Old Tang, according to you, as a father and the head of the family, you shouldn't take such a big risk to deliver a 200 yuan takeaway!" Not to mention anything else, just after being drenched in the rain all night, the last time I saw a doctor in the hospital, it was more than this price! ”

Tang Weimin laughed, stretched out his hand and patted Tian Fu on the shoulder, turned his head to look at him, and said calmly: "Since you are the head of the family, you naturally have to shoulder the burden of the family." If you don't work hard to improve the situation of your family, how can you call yourself the head of the family! Tian Fu glanced at Tang Weimin and saw him, he didn't care at all that he was covered in water, as long as he could earn money, he was not afraid of any hardship or tiredness. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that Tang Weimin, like his father Tian Guang, could sacrifice a lot of things for the sake of his family, including their health!

Tian Fu asked weakly: "You are too hard!" But Old Tang, this money can't be earned! You still have to pay attention to take care of your health, but now it's better to exchange your life for money, don't exchange money for your life when the time comes. Tang Weimin laughed and said loudly: "I understand the truth of exchanging money for life now, and exchanging money for life in the future." However, I am more concerned that my family has no choice because they are poor. Tian Fu said: "Huh? ”

Tang Weimin let out a long sigh, shook his head and said, "Xiao Tian! Life is not easy everyone knows, but there are some things that have to be done, my brother has a daughter in my village, who was admitted to Peking University, because of money, and finally got a book. Later, because her father was sick, the girl dropped out of school. Now working on the assembly line, earning five or six thousand yuan a month, just to see her father, her dream of being a scientist died. Life forced her to have no choice. There are several people in my village who are the same age as me, and in order to have a house in the city for their son, they are tired like an old man in his sixties and seventies. There are many people in their sixties and seventies who are still working in the fields, and they are looking at how many people in their fifties and sixties are in the city, some of them are carrying subwoofers, they are square dancing in the parks, and some are running around fishing. There are chess chatters. That's life. ”

Tian Fu looked at Tang Weimin in a daze and nodded solemnly. Tang Weimin glanced at Tian Fu: "Xiao Tian! Everyone retires one day, but those of us have no security in the future. How can I not fight hard! Listen to my brother's advice, your ability to stir-fry is indeed better than many people, but don't run around with nothing to do! Make good money, and there will be more places for you to use it in the future! ”

Tian Fu looked at the person in front of him with a somewhat solemn expression, looked up and down at the man whose clothes were still dripping from time to time, and found that the person in front of him was different from the person he knew before, although this person was still kind before, but Tian Fu could perceive that this kindness contained independence and responsibility that belonged to him. Suddenly, there was a feeling that although the person in front of him was ordinary, he was an unknown hero, and said: "I'm not wandering around, I'm learning." Don't you know how good my business has been in my small shop since I came, and if I don't learn, I have this ability? ”

Tang Weimin said: "That's right, you really don't have to pick what you cut out, just take the beef you cut, the cut is like flying, the thickness and size of the cut out are the same, and the seasoning of the hot pot ingredients is just right." I haven't heard of anyone complaining about too much salt and oil. Tian Fu said: "These are the basic skills of a chef, if you can't even do these, what kind of chef can you be?" Tang Weimin said: "Seriously, I envy people like you who have a skill, at least you choose one more than me."

Tian Fu smiled, glanced at the afterglow of his eyes, Tang Weimin's electric car wrapped the three-layer delivery box inside and outside, and said suspiciously: "You said that you delivered the meal at half past two in the morning, even if Huxi Yayuan is more than ten kilometers away from here, you won't come back now!" It's so tightly wrapped from your delivery box! Delivery wasn't very smooth?! ”

As soon as Tian Fu's words fell, Tang Weimin had a look of extreme annoyance on his face, and he helplessly pouted at the delivery box on his car with his eyes, and said weakly: "Don't mention this, I'm annoyed when I mention this, I took this order at half past two, braved the wind and rain, and delivered the meal at three o'clock on time. I waited downstairs for more than half an hour, the wind blew for more than half an hour, and the rain for more than half an hour. It's only now being pushed to the doorstep. Helplessly, he shook his head and continued: "The takeaway was not delivered on time, I was sinned, and not only did I have no money for a hard trip, but I also had to be deducted money, now I don't want to mention how bad it is."

Tian Fu looked at Tang Weimin with some consternation, and comforted: "This, the customer himself did not answer the phone, resulting in the delivery of the food not being delivered on time, should it?" It won't count on you, will it? Tang Weimin spread his hands and said indifferently: "Who can say this thing!" It's not that you don't know how many people are like this now, and if they spend their own money, they should be uncles, and they should be served, and if there is a mistake, it can only be the fault of the service staff! Tian Fu as a service officer, Tang Weimin said that he had also experienced a lot, and his tone was a little insufficient, and he was stunned: "Uh... There are a lot of such things! ”

Tang Weimin said: "Now, I just hope that customers don't complain, otherwise I really don't know how the platform will deal with it." Tian Fu said: "The platform should have its own rules!" How else can it gain a foothold? Tang Weimin said: "The rules are not set by people and implemented by people?" In case the customer does not protect his own interests, what will happen to the platform, establish negative teaching materials, and show that the platform is in accordance with the rules and regulations. ”

Tian Fu looked at Tang Weimin, scraped his chin with his fingers, thought about it, and looked at Tang Weimin again. Tang Weimin was frightened by Tian Fu's expression, his heart was a little furious, and he said, "What are you doing here?" Is there anything wrong with what I'm saying? Tian Fu thought for a moment and said solemnly: "Old Tang, what do you say?" Will your concerns solve the problem? Tang Weimin thought for a while and said, "This, it seems to be, can't!" Tian Fu said: "Then you are still worried about wool!" Tang Weimin exclaimed: "Yes, since I'm worried about whether it will be fined, I'm still worried about a hammer!" It's better to keep your spirits up and deliver more meals in the evening! Xiao Tian, I won't tell you, I'm going to take a shower, and I have to go to work in the afternoon! After speaking, without waiting for Tian Fu to speak, Tang Weimin pushed the electric car and rushed home.

Tian Fu touched the back of his head with his hand, watching Tang Weimin's back disappear into the alley of the urban village. At this time, two young, beautiful and tall girls passed by Tian Fu, and one of them asked, "Uncle, are you looking at that beauty, you are so fascinated?" And you have to see it! Tian Fu judged from the footsteps and talking of the two behind him that the two beauties who came were the two beauties who shared the house with him. - Wen Keke and Qin Sirou. Qin Sirou has an outstanding temperament, speaks and acts with a gentle and quiet characteristic, which makes people quite unforgettable. The other is the girl who spoke, named Wen Keke, the first place to notice her was not her pair of smooth and delicate long legs that can be called a pair of legs, but more people will notice first that this slender and graceful girl has a vigorous style in her body, as well as the confidence exuded by her gestures.

Tian Fu didn't turn his head and said, "Look at a hero." Winkokoch said: "Look at a hero? Old Don? Tian Fu nodded and said, "Well, it's Old Tang!" Wen Keke said: "Why is Old Tang a hero?" Tian Fu turned his head to look at the girl and said, "Yes, Old Tang, he is not everyone's hero, but he is definitely a real hero for some people." Wen Keke recalled Tian Fu's words just now: "Old Tang, is he a hero? He's not everyone's hero, but he's definitely a real hero for some?。。。 After thinking about it a few times, he still didn't understand Tian Fu's words, and couldn't help frowning.

Tian Fu didn't speak, moved his hands and feet a few times to warm up, and when he was ready to warm up, he ran to the park to exercise. At this time, a six or seven-year-old little Lori ran out of the corner of the street, Tian Fu turned sideways to Xiao Lori, Xiao Lori glanced at Tian Fu who was warming up, and didn't look carefully, she pounced directly on Tian Fu, hugged one of Tian Fu's feet tightly with both hands, and cried out panting: "Uncle, you will marry." ”
