It was five o'clock in the afternoon, and it was pitch black outside five o'clock in winter.

"Sister Jia, where are we going to stay if we don't go back at night?"

In this poor and remote area, although the two of them can get together at night in the bare Zuo family, they have to find someone to sell them quilts, right? You can't sit all night in a leaky and shabby house.

Xie Pujia raised the collar of her coat to prevent the cold air from pouring in.

"What's the hurry, isn't it completely dark yet?"

Ye Yong stomped small steps on the spot and proposed, "Why don't we drive back to town?" Uncle Huang must still be waiting for us at home, maybe the meal is ready, if you don't go to it, you won't give face, right? ”

Xie Pujia: "Wait a little longer, we'll leave before six o'clock arrives." ”

Person? Who?

Ye Yong scratched his head, confused.

As soon as the words fell, the sound of squirming footsteps came, and the powerful light of a flashlight shone on the location of the two of them - the gate of Zuo's house.

"Hey, girl!"

With a familiar voice, Xie Pujia raised her head, and her cheeks returned to a bulging appearance.

Ye Yong was taken aback when he saw the comer, "Dig a slot, uncle, why did you come here?!" ”

"The girl's message called me to come, how can I not come, I haven't been back to this place for more than ten years, I forgot how to go, I arrived at four o'clock in the afternoon, asked for directions for more than an hour, spent money to find someone to buy a flashlight and finally found a place in the dark, I still have a plaster on my waist, I stiffened and drove for a few hours, and it hurt." Zuo Liang rubbed his waist and said happily.

It doesn't look like a backache at all.

After speaking, Zuo Liang took out a ball of pink from the pocket of his long jacket and walked to Xie Pujia.

"Well, your mother asked me to bring it to you, so that you don't freeze."

It was a scarf that Zhou Chunyan was boring to knit while lying on the hospital bed, and she planned to spend two months knitting one for everyone in the family, but she hadn't knitted it for a long time, and she had only knitted Xie Pujia alone, and she hadn't had time to give it to her.

Xie Pujia took it awkwardly, and the scarf with a trace of temperature was covered on her hand, like Zhou Chunyan's love for her, warm and soft.

Ye Yong stretched out his head beside him, and his tone was expectant: "Mine, what about mine, I'm frozen to death, Aunt Yan should have brought it to me too, right?" ”

One outstanding bag.

Zuo Liang touched his pocket and turned it open to show him completely, "I'm sorry, I don't have you." ”

Ye Yong's face collapsed in an instant.

Zuo Liang saw that he was almost amused, and took out a pair of gloves from the pocket of his pants, "Woo woo, this is yours." ”

"Hahaha, I knew that Aunt Swallow wouldn't forget me!" Ye Yong happily took it and put it on quickly.

No one believes it at the age of nineteen, and he is as naïve as a junior high school student.

Zuo Liang naturally wouldn't tell him that it was the product of Zhou Chunyan who was afraid that the scarf she had woven for her daughter would not look good, so she used it to practice her hands.

"Well, it's dark, don't linger outside, I'll follow you back to Uncle Huang's house."

Xie Pujia nodded, "Let's go." ”

Ye Yong sat in the driver's seat and waited for Xie Pujia to sit in the co-pilot, but the latter pointed to the car on the left beam and motioned for him to lead the way.

Obviously, the two have something to talk about alone.

Inside the car.

Zuo Liang sat in the driver's seat and drove, and Xie Pujia sat in the right back seat.

She couldn't trust the man 100% yet, and if something went wrong, the right back seat of the car was the farthest away from the man, which was a little safer than that.

Zuo Liang didn't care about the little girl's defensive psychology at all, it was a good thing to be defensive.

"Say, send me a message in the morning to let me go back to my hometown, what do you want to ask me face-to-face?"

"You went back to Yunlu City to visit your father this time, which of your brother's house does he live in?"

Zuo Liang heard the little girl's question and sighed: "You girl is so amazing!" It's only been a few days that I've almost touched the situation of my family, and the third brother, the old man and his wife have been following the third brother. ”

Xie Pujia: "For so many years, haven't your father and stepmother ever looked for the whereabouts of your second brother again?" ”

"Looking?" Zuo Liang smiled, "There is a ghost in my heart, where do you dare to look for it, and let the second child resent them after finding people back?" ”

Xie Pujia: "Are you so sure that your second brother resents his parents?" What if he really wants to be reunited with his parents' family? ”

Zuo Liang: "My father's stepmother's child was sold, and I hated the two of them for so many years, not to mention that the second brother was sold by his own parents, although I can't remember his appearance clearly, but his temperament is definitely the biggest in the entire Zuo family, I remember it clearly." After many years of teaching my 'good' stepmother, I have to compete with me for everything, how can I think of a family reunion without complaint! ”

Xie Pujia pondered for a few seconds, and then continued to ask, "Then you haven't been back to your hometown for so many years?" ”

Zuo Liang shook his head: "In the first few years, I wanted to come back, but I didn't dare to go back, for fear that I would be tied up by them and stuffed into someone's house to be a son-in-law. ”

Xie Pujia: "How did your third brother get your contact information?" And your second brother, are you sure he hasn't been in touch with the family? ”

At the red light in front, Zuo Liang stopped, turned his head towards Xie Pujia with a soothing smile, and took out an unopened bottle of milk from the co-pilot seat and handed it to her.

"Girl, what about the prisoners? The inmates have to rest and drink their saliva, right? ”

Xie Pujia was indeed a little thirsty, and saw that the milk was a common boxed pure milk in the supermarket, twisted the lid to make sure it had not been opened, and drank it with confidence.

The sound of "grunt" and "grunt" was especially noticeable in the quiet carriage.

The green light is on, and you can continue driving.

Zuo Liang: "I've been growing up. There is a little bit of talent to be a cook, during the summer vacation, I went to the restaurant to play lotus for others and learned a lot of skills, so many years of various restaurants, small restaurants, restaurants have been mixed, two years ago I also ran to the town where we are now going! I wanted to find a job as a dishwasher casually, but I found a circle without a family to eat and live, patted my buttocks, and used the only ten yuan left on my body to take the cheapest transportation to Xilu City, the provincial capital. ”

It just so happened that there was a four-star hotel chain hotel in Xilu City to recruit apprentices, including food and accommodation, Zuo Liang went directly to apply, with his familiar side dish skills, and went to work the next day.

After half a year of apprenticeship, I went out to participate in cooking competitions with the head chef, learned more and more, and the head chef's fame grew.

The aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, and the chef's craftsmanship has attracted a group of food lovers, and has also attracted the attention of the outside world.

The third child of the Zuo family saw Zuo Liang on TV and found the phone number of the private restaurant, so he contacted him.

Today's second update!

Small Theatre (1):

Xie Pujia: I seem to suddenly remember who Zuo Liang is.

Zuo Liang: Who? Who am I?

Xie Pujia: Are you the chef of the shop where a bowl of shredded pork with green peppers sells for 108?

Zuo Liang: How can it come out of your mouth, it sounds like I'm killing people?

Xie Pujia: Be confident and remove the "likeness".

Small Theatre (2):

Xie Pujia: Mom, it seems that we probably could have been. robbed Uncle Zuo's bag to eat and live.

Zhou Chunyan: Huh? So what to do?

Xie Pujia: He still has to thank us, otherwise he would have the opportunity to be an apprentice to the head chef!

Zhou Chunyan: Is that so? How does it feel that something is wrong.
