Chapter 674: Pity the Hearts of Parents in the World (Second Watch)

Zeng Asan's mother was surprised and delighted when she heard that Zeng Asan had become a chef.

She said to Xia Qiqi: "The three of us have become chefs, it's a good thing...... A good thing, a great thing! ”

The ancestors of the Zeng family are cooks, and several generations of the family are cooks, except for Zeng Asan's father, who has farmed the land in this generation, and the rest are all working in restaurants without exception.

Since he was a child, Zeng Asan followed his grandfather to learn stir-frying and knife work, and he learned it for ten years, and finally waited until the child was old enough to be able to become a chef, he suddenly said to everyone that he didn't want to be a chef, don't hold a spoon all his life, and don't stand in the kitchen all his life, in the dark.

It didn't take long to say that. He was going to go outside, and it was useless for Zeng's father and mother to persuade him.

In addition, the child is older and has his own ideas, so he goes with him.

But I don't want to go for ten years, and there will be no news for ten years.

Great-mother even wondered if her son was gone, otherwise why, she hadn't been in touch for ten years.

Year after year, she began to despair and was on the verge of giving up.

Fortunately, the emperor lived up to his hard work, and his son finally came to the news, and he even became the chef of the restaurant.

After listening to Xia Qiqi's words, some people in the village felt surprised, some envied Zeng Asan, and some felt that Xia Qiqi was lying.

After all, it's been ten years, and I haven't seen anyone, and I haven't even come back for the New Year.

At this time, the great-father opened his mouth: "Girl, son, you better go and sit in the house!" By the way, tell us, how has San'er been all these years? ”

Xia Qiqi nodded, "Let's move these things in first!" ”

After she finished speaking, the people of the Zeng family came forward to help move things.

Everyone gathered firewood and the flame was high, and it didn't take long for everything to be moved into Zeng's house.

Zeng's mother poured a cup of tea for Xia Qiqi and Lu Jiuyi, maybe it was a bitter life, and the tea leaves in the tea were not the tea made from those tea leaves that Xia Qiqi had seen, and the color of the tea was a little turbid.

And the tea bowls are all bad, one tea bowl, several mouthfuls.

Xia Qiqi had to be careful so that his lips would not be hurt.

took a sip of tea, the taste was a little bitter, but Xia Qiqi didn't show this, she knew that the Zeng family was not easy, and she might have taken out her best tea bowl and tea leaves.

Great-mother couldn't wait to ask: "Girl, you said that our three sons have become the chefs of the big restaurant, can you tell me which restaurant it is?" What's your name? ”

Xia Qiqi put the tea on the table next to him, "Lu Ji Restaurant is bigger than the largest Babao Building in our town. ”

Xia Qiqi didn't dare to say the name of the roast duck shop, for fear that Zeng's mother would think that the roast duck shop was too small.

The Zeng family has never been out of town in their lives, but they also know the reputation of Babaolou.

As soon as I heard that the restaurant where Zeng Asan stayed was bigger than Babaolou, I felt that it was a very good place, and I immediately felt relieved.

At this time, Xia Qiqi took out a letter, which was different from ordinary letters, it was bulging inside, and it seemed to contain something.

Handing the letter to his great-father, Xia Qiqi said: "The money that Zeng Asan has saved over the years, he said that it is to honor your two elders. And a letter from home, if you trust me, I can read it for you. ”

In the envelope, there was a letter from home, and then ten taels of silver for the Zeng family.

Xia Qiqi proposed to read a letter to the Zeng family, and the Zeng family was grateful and thanked them again and again.

The people in Zengjia Village are relatively poor and backward in thinking, and they can't count the number of people who really send their children to study.

In the past, there were family letters in the village, and they were all taken to the town to find Xiucailang and the like to help read them.

This time, there is Xia Qiqi, which saves trouble.

Xia Qiqi took the letter out of the envelope, and after unfolding it, he opened it word by word according to the contents of the envelope.

She had actually heard the contents of the letter once.

To the effect that Zeng Asan has been working hard to make money outside all these years.

I didn't have a chance a few years ago, but I became a chef in the past few years, so that my family waited for him, and when he saved enough money, he would take everyone to live a good life together.

The words in the letter are true and false, but they can make the Zeng family let go of their worries about Zeng Asan.

After listening to the letter, Zeng's father, great-mother, and Zeng Bang, the fifth brother of Zeng Asan, had already burst into tears.

Zeng Hua, the youngest of the Zeng family, has too shallow impression of the eldest brother, and his mood is quite stable.

The ten taels of silver in the envelope were undoubtedly an astronomical amount for the Zeng family.

These ten silver are enough for all the matters of the fifth and sixth children of the Zeng family to prepare for marriage, and even two taels of silver can be left to improve the life of the Zeng family.

Zeng's father was very excited and wanted to stay with Xia Qiqi and Lu Jiu for dinner, but the two refused, saying that the Chinese New Year was approaching and there was still something at home.

Xia Qiqi glanced at Zeng Bang, this kid is not bad.

When his great-father took out the ten taels of silver from the envelope, he was surprised, but his eyes did not show a greedy look.

Thinking of being a more upright person, she remembered that her roast duck was still short of manpower, so instead of looking for someone she didn't know, it was better to find the boy in front of her.

"What are you doing in the village now?" Xia Qiqi looked at Zeng Bang.

"Me?" Zeng Bang didn't expect Xia Qiqi to ask himself this, and he was stunned for a while.

It was his great-mother who answered for him, "There is no field at home, the only two dry lands are still cleared out, planting some sweet potatoes and potatoes or something, Abang and his father do some work for people on weekdays, earn some money, enough for our family to live." ”

After listening to his great-mother's words, Xia Qiqi knew that his great-father and Zeng Bang did short-term work for people, and when they were busy with farming or had a lot of work in dry land, they would help others, and many people in their Dayu Village did these things.

But I can't save a lot of money for these jobs.

"Would you like to come with me to the town as a buddy? It's tiring, but it's definitely better than working for someone in this small village. ”

Because of Zeng Asan's relationship, his great-father and great-mother trusted Xia Qiqi very much.

Zeng's father said: "Since the girl is willing to take us Abang, our Abang will definitely be willing to follow you to learn things." You don't have to give him much money, as long as you can eat with a mouthful of food, and then when he gets married, give him a vacation. ”

Zeng's parents are honest people, and most of the time they think about others.

Xia Qiqi listened to their words, and his heart was full of emotion, and he spoke after a while, "That's it, after the Chinese New Year, around the eighth day of the first lunar month, Abang went to the town to inquire, where is Xia Ji roast duck?" You go there first and give it a try, for a month, if you feel that you are suitable and want to stay, you can stay, if you feel that you are not suitable, I will find you another job. ”

"Thank you, girl! I'll try, girl, do you know when my brother will come back? I haven't seen him all these years, and my family misses him very much. ”
