"You are you, he ...... It's him, and I'm not going to confuse you. Zhao Chen said it above board.

"I didn't expect Ergou to be such a bastard and actually poison the banquet you made, it's all my godson." Master Ma regretted not being at the beginning.

Zhao Chen didn't speak, looking pensive, as if he was thinking about something.

"Zhao Chen, although you haven't officially worshiped me as a teacher, I have also taught you for so many years, for the sake of this affection, don't worry about Ergou, okay?" Master Ma's eyes were full of guilt.

"Hmm." Zhao Chen nodded heavily.

The teacher is like a father, and he will listen to every word that Master Ma says.

"I ...... No, pity my mantle...... No one inherited. Zhao Chen, you are a good boy and very talented, are you willing to officially worship me as a teacher? Master Ma's cloudy eyes looked at Zhao Chen with hope.

This child is his only hope.

He didn't think about handing over the mantle to Zhao Chen to inherit, but his son was dead, and he saw that the end was approaching, so he had no choice.

Zhao Chen didn't expect to be blessed by misfortune, and his mood was very complicated for a while.

Inheriting the mantle of Master Ma is something he has always dreamed of. However, Ergou is now only temporarily detained, and has not been formally convicted.

If he can't be convicted, he will come out sooner or later, and he doesn't want to really become the person in Ergou's mouth.

"Zhao Chen, you should help me, don't let me have regrets...... Go, okay? Master Ma pleaded.

His body is almost like a day by day, and Zhao Chen is his last hope.

Zhao Chen looked at such a master horse, hesitated for a moment, knelt down, and said loudly: "Master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship." ”

In this way, Zhao Chen became Master Ma's apprentice.

Master Ma's body collapsed quickly, and he couldn't get out of bed, so he could only lie on the bed and tell Zhao Chen some theoretical knowledge.

Zhao Chen carefully wrote it down in a small notebook, and then actually operated it after returning home, and when he encountered something he didn't understand, he came to ask Master Ma the next day.

In this way, half a month has passed, Master Ma's body has become weaker and weaker, and day by day is not as good as day by day, and sometimes there will be a brief coma.

Zhao Chen's heart was very uncomfortable, but he still forced a smile in front of Master Ma.

This big grinning boy also has a careful side, and he doesn't want Master Ma to leave with regrets.

Therefore, he studied harder and often forgot to sleep and eat.

When Master Ma saw Zhao Chen like this, his thin hand grabbed Zhao Chen's hand tightly, "Child, I'm sorry for you." ”

Master Ma's heart was relieved, and Zhao Chen brought him hope and allowed him to walk peacefully.

Zhao Chen shook his head gently, clasped Master Ma's hand with his backhand, and said, "I should thank you, without you, I don't know what I'm going to do now." ”

If it wasn't for a chance encounter more than three years ago, how would he have known that he likes to cook? How did he give his life a purpose?

Therefore, his heart is grateful to Master Ma.

........

The days passed day by day in Master Ma's hard support.

On this day, he suddenly felt relaxed and in good spirits, and he ate a full bowl of rice after not eating normally for a long time.

Master Ma knew that it was not that his illness was cured, but that his limit was approaching, and his body's reaction was just the last reflection.

He didn't want to die in his bed, and besides, he wanted to see the outside again.

There, there was a scene of him and Dumiao's son laughing and playing, and he wanted to see it again and engrave these into his mind and take them away.

In life, there will always be regrets, and when he is dying, he will never be able to see his son again.

But, fortunately, he has all the memories he has with his son, which can make up for his regret that he can't come back to see him off.

As if he understood Master Ma's thoughts, Zhao Chen walked in, "Master, I'll take you out to bask in the sun, although it's hot, but the germs will be gone." ”

"Hmm." Master Ma nodded, acquiescing.

Zhao Chen finally moved Master Ma outside, and he found a place where he could bask in the sun and not be too hot to settle Master Ma.

"Master, I'll finish the business at hand before I come to accompany you." Zhao Chen said intimately.

"Go ahead." Master Ma bowed his head.

In his hand, he had been clutching a book tightly, and as for what to do, he had not yet made a final decision.

"Zhao Chen, come here."

I don't know how long it took, Master Ma finally beckoned to Zhao Chen, and called Zhao Chen, who was busy on the side, over.

"Master Ma, your appetite is much better today, I'll catch some fresh fish in the afternoon to make soup for you." Where did Zhao Chen understand that Master Ma was looking back, thinking that Master Ma was in a better mood, so his illness was cured.

"Silly boy, don't be busy, master ......" Master Ma paused, and changed the words he was about to explain to, "Master will drink again tomorrow, today, let's talk about more important things." ”

"What's the matter?" Zhao Chen wouldn't guess other people's minds at all, otherwise he wouldn't always make Lin Zekai angry.

"This book, you put it away, it is my family's ancestor. I learned how to cook from this book, and here is all the essentials of cooking, so you must read it carefully. Master Ma said and handed over a worn-out ancient book to Zhao Chen.

"This ......" Zhao Chen didn't take it, and it wasn't if he didn't take it.

He wanted to worship Master Ma as a teacher, purely just to learn to cook, and now he wanted to take the ancient books handed down by others, he hesitated.

Fools know that this kind of book is to be passed down from generation to generation, and he is a person with a foreign surname, how can he be embarrassed to accept it?

"Put away the ......" Master Ma looked in good spirits, but after saying the previous paragraph, he began to gasp for air.

"Master, you're tired, take a rest first, I'll catch fish." Zhao Chen didn't want to continue this topic.

Master Ma's body is already recovering, and he believes that Master Ma will wait for Ergou to come back, and he can't take advantage of others' danger.

"Zhao Chen, I heard, put it away, I'll ......" Master Ma said slowly, his eyes slowly closed.

"Master, I thought about it, I really can't accept it, this book, you are going to pass it on to Uncle Ergou." Although Zhao Chen's eyes were full of possessiveness, reason brought him back to reality.

He resolutely can't accept this book!

Master Ma didn't speak, his head slowly tilted to the side, and the hands on his stomach also hung down.

"Master Ma, I'll catch fish, you can sleep." Zhao Chen glanced back at Master Ma and said.

Master Ma still didn't respond, as if he was asleep.

"Falling asleep so soon?" Zhao Chen muttered, he had already walked to the gate of the courtyard, and he returned and put Master Ma's hands away.

Who knows, the hands that have been put down fall again.

"Master Ma?" Zhao Chen felt that something was not right and shouted.
