The express delivery bosses went back to work overtime with the unpredictable chef filter, and here, Master Jiang finally got his wife!
Really! It’s not easy!
He hurriedly spent 200 yuan to get a car and went to the station to pick up his wife. She held the suitcase and kept talking to him: "You said you, I said we will come together when the children are on winter vacation. It's just after New Year's Day. How nice! You have to rush me every day."
Urgent every day!”
"It's not appropriate!" Master Jiang Xiaokang has gone to bed early and gotten up early here in the past few months. He eats and drinks with the old Song family every day. It becomes more and more moist like a steamed bun with old noodles, strong and solid.
The whole person is also in high spirits, which is completely different from the qi deficiency state when he was just recovering from a serious illness when he came!
Now, Lao Mian Mantou exuded a false sense of sadness: "I've been given a house here. It's 50 square meters. I can't clean it up by myself. You have to keep an eye on it..."
Rare?
His daughter-in-law, Du Mei, really doesn’t care!
To be fair, anyone with a house of more than 100 square meters in a provincial capital city would not care about a mediocre dormitory in the countryside.
Just thinking about it again, Jiang Xiaokang is usually sentimental. After the operation, he couldn't bear the job in the hotel. Now he is reduced to the countryside... This is like being unemployed in middle age.
Regardless of whether the family is short of such money, the psychological gap is unbearable!
Then she started to criticize her words and then changed her words: "Didn't I tell you how to do it in the video two days ago? I told you that the small bedroom needs to be tidied up, otherwise my daughter will not be used to living there during the holidays!"
"Okay, okay!" Master Jiang said quickly. In fact, he felt a little guilty - here is 50 square meters, two rooms and one living room, but one of the rooms is very small and is used as a storage space. It is less than 10 square meters, which is enough for storage.
A small single bed and a small desk or something.
But my daughter only came to stay with me for a few days. I heard that she participated in some club projects during the winter vacation... It should work!
Anyway, let’s make do!
The couple had been together for more than half their lives, how could Du Mei not know what he could be like? She remained calm and just asked:
"You boasted about how nice this place is before, and it was our master who asked for favors to arrange it here... I think it's pretty good, but you don't even want to go home, and you keep urging me to come here."
My face is much better and rosy! When I was discharged from the hospital, I couldn’t stand the air-conditioning breeze. Now, in the winter, I wear a thin down jacket with my arms open...
If nothing else, your body should be really strong!
Speaking of this, Jiang Xiaokang was sincerely grateful to Master Qian. His wife became proud when she asked:
"That's right, it's really hard for my master to arrange for me to come here!"
If Master Qian knew about this, he would be afraid of getting red in the face - it's really not that hard, it's not easy to find a chef who works in the countryside with no family ties for 4500!
But no one on either side mentioned it, and no one believed it if it was mentioned. Jiang Xiaokang had already silently written down the master's message, and now he was mysterious to his wife:
"Just wait! You will know when the master invites you to have a meal at noon - let's talk about it first, this is not what we usually eat!"
"But the old Song family also said that it will be fine next year after winter! Next year our meals will be all produced in the village!"
"And when I heard that you were coming, Song Tan specially set aside some of the rice and vegetables at home. We can't eat everything together, but I can open a small stove for you to eat!"
Oops! Oops! This matter has been mentioned a long time ago, but who knew that his wife would only come today. Master Jiang felt regretful just thinking about it.
He said it so well that Du Mei also became interested - Jiang Xiaokang is a chef, what kind of good ingredients have you never seen? Now that he was talking so happily, it was hard for her not to be moved.
"Okay!" She stuffed the trolley case into the trunk and got into the car: "Then I'll give it a try when I get back!"
In fact, if you think about it, the children are now older. In the early years, when the chef could make money, the couple also prepared a house and a car. I am not a very materialistic person...
Forget it, being in the countryside is pretty good, at least you can eat food cooked by a chef.
It's sad to say that she married a chef. For so many years, everyone said that she was enjoying life and didn't have to cook, but is it so easy for a chef to get paid?
He cooks when others are eating, and he eats when the restaurant is over.
Now that the kids are in their twenties, the chef’s days of cooking at home are numbered!
I really wish I could eat in a hotel during work, otherwise how can I get such a high salary? In addition to being capable and talented, I just have to work hard.
Just as she was thinking about it, Du Mei stretched out her hand: "How much salary do you have left?"
Master Jiang: ...are middle-aged men still a little happy?
The driver in front was driving meticulously, as if he didn't hear anything. Master Jiang thought to himself that this woman didn't even give her face!
But the person was subconsciously frightened: "You, didn't you say you can keep the salary here for your own use?"
Du Mei sighed: "You forgot, once I quit taking care of patients, I won't be able to find a job for a while... Now I just want to see if you can save money..."
He sighed again: "Now that I am a full-time housewife, I feel that my life has no value, and I am not respected when I go out!"
She works as an after-sales supervisor in a supermarket. Her monthly salary is not much, but the advantage is stability. But her daughter has to take the college entrance examination and her husband has to be hospitalized. It’s not a big problem, but she needs help!
Finally, I thought about it and resigned, which is really a pity.
Nonsense! Master Jiang was furious: Why is this not respected and worthless? You have two houses, a car, and hundreds of thousands in savings, including previous salary cards. Aren’t they all in your hands?
He would like to be such a full-time gentleman!
But everyone said that, and it was true that he had lost his job for the family... Master Jiang felt guilty and short of breath, so he handed over his cell phone:
"I came here on the 11th, and now I have only received two months' salary. It cost 1,800 to decorate the house, dozens of dollars to replenish the membership of the listening book, and then the phone bill... nothing else."
Gone?!
Du Mei looked at the balance and expenses - there were no expenses at all!
She was surprised: "Don't you even spend money?"
When I was a chef, I often had to take my apprentices and apprentices to eat, sing, and bring something to eat... They were all young people who came to work. They were all childish, or had two minds and were very shallow.
.
Master Jiang and Master Qian are old-school thinkers. Seeing that these children are all serious apprentices, they have to worry a lot.
In addition, there are also favor gifts, some random things that I usually buy, extremely expensive kitchen utensils...
Why is there nothing?!
Master Jiang thought for a while and couldn't think of anything else to spend - the favors and gifts were all from Du Mei, after all, he was so far away.
So he naturally said: "Food and accommodation are included here, so what else do you need to spend?"
Du Mei opened her mouth and suddenly felt happy:
"That's good. You work here and earn our family's monthly expenses!"
If I hadn't bought some furniture and daily necessities, I would probably have 4,000 left over from 4,500 per month.
The daughter’s monthly living expenses are 1,500 yuan, the family’s living expenses are 1,000 yuan, and some water, electricity, property, gas, etc., and the rest can be used as personal gifts and so on...
It's not a question of more money or less, but that life has suddenly become simpler.
