At that time, both Lao Tan and Yan Hua worked at the Rose Hotel, and Lin Yan was there at first. Later, she had a conflict with the lobby manager and resigned to go to another hotel.
Lao Tan was making chopping boards at that time, and there was a young man named Zhan Ze who was working on the chopping boards with him, whom Lao Tan hired.
Zhan Ze liked Yanhua, and a waiter at the front desk also liked Yanhua. As a result, the waiter invited a group of friends to come over and planned to beat Zhan Ze up after get off work.
This matter was brought up by Lao Tan, who stopped a fight and even bloodshed. At that time, Lao Tan had won the trust of the boss in the restaurant, and was a wage earner on Taishan Road who was famous for getting into fights, so he was somewhat famous.
He is not the kind to bully others, Lao Tan is more just.
He was not familiar with Yanhua, they were just colleagues. He knew that Yanhua was the front waiter, but he didn't know his name. By stopping the fight between Zhan Ze and Chuan Caisheng, he became familiar with Yanhua and learned some things about Yanhua.
Condition.
He sympathized with Yanhua's experience and had the idea in his heart to help the girl. He might not be able to help her with anything else, but as long as she worked in a hotel, at least she could do it without being bullied.
The owner of the Rose Restaurant also ran a Diaolu Cake shop on Taishan Road. Yanhua didn't like working in the restaurant and was annoyed by Zhanze and Chuan Caisheng's entanglement. So Lao Tan transferred her to the Diaolu Cake shop as a waitress, which was cleaner.
Yanhua is beautiful, the kind of charming and delicate girl that people can't help but fall in love with. Compared with Lin Yan, she is better than Lin Yan.
After Lao Tan experienced a tragic and heartbreaking love affair with Yaru, his young heart was hurt, he was full of despair about love, and he no longer had any illusions.
When Lin Yan, who had the same fate as him, appeared, the two naturally came together.
After experiencing the ups and downs of love, the precocious man no longer thinks about beauty and romance. He just wants to find someone who doesn't think he is poor and can live with him. As for appearance, from the perspective of seeing through the world, he is just a foreign minister.
Just a skin.
It's hard for him, he has seen through the world of mortals at such a young age.
If we think about it in depth, it is normal for him to have this idea. He grew up in poverty and started to live in a branch at the age of thirteen. Because his family was so poor that he could not even be called a wife when he was twenty years old. He worked outside to earn money to support his old mother.
Frankly speaking, the cruelty of reality does not allow him to have youthful fantasies and romance about love like those of his peers who are from well-off families. In reality, it is better.
People say that if you have no desires, you will be strong, and it is true.
With Lin Yan, she has no thoughts about other girls, she has a clean heart, and she is naturally generous when getting along with her.
Helping Yanhua, always saying some simple but encouraging words to her, and doing that herself, this made Yanhua's admiration for him change from the beginning to appreciation, and she slowly became like him, gloomy and gloomy
A ray of bright and warm sunshine shines into my life.
He asked Yanhua to learn how to make hanging oven cakes, and told her that if she stopped doing it here one day, she would be a skilled worker when she left, and she could rely on her craftsmanship to make a living, and she would no longer have to be bullied as a waiter.
Yanhua listened to his words and learned to make hanging oven cakes.
The whole summer passed, and so did autumn. Lao Tan led Lin Yan back home with joy and glory. Lin Yan got the unanimous approval of her mother and five sisters. Half of the marriage was settled. The other half still had to be
Wait until Lao Tan goes to Lin Yan's house and gets approval from Lin Yan's mother.
That winter was very cold. When the Chinese New Year was about to come, Lao Tan and Lin Yan went to Lin Yan's house. As a result, Lin Yan's mother firmly disagreed with the two of them being together. The reason was that the Xian family was too far away, one in Beipiao and the other in Liaozhong.
Lao Tan knew that the main reason was not here, but because he was poor.
I came back from Lin Yan's house in despair, preparing to live the most miserable year in the cold winter.
After experiencing love with Yaru, Lao Tan's ability to resist blows has increased. He thought that if he didn't agree, he would agree, and if he found her again, wouldn't he be able to call her a wife in this life?
The weather is cold, but people's hearts are warm.
Yanhua didn't go home that Spring Festival and spent it with Lao Tan.
Drink with him, eat dumplings with him, chat with him, say comforting words to him, and promise to go home with him if possible. No matter how stupid Lao Tan is, he knows Yanhua's thoughts.
When she was moved by the warmth of love, on the third day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Yan came back.
Lin Yan overcame her mother's many resistances and resolutely returned to Lao Tan. This moved Lao Tan deeply, and she said to herself in her heart that she would be the only girl in this life, and there would be no other girl.
Lin Yan's return gradually extinguished the flame of love that was burning in Yanhua. Although she was sad, she still blessed Lao Tan.
She likes and loves Lao Tan, but Lao Tan has always had a brother-sister relationship with her and treats her like a sister.
When spring was about to pass and summer came, Yanhua left Taishan Road. The night before leaving, the two of them came to the stone table and stone bench. Yanhua bravely squeezed into Lao Tan's broad and warm chest, letting her affectionate
And the tears of grievance flowed freely, soaking the man's clothes and his uncomfortable heart------
Lao Tan clearly felt that Yanhua left a tear in his heart.
The river is calm, with green willows whistling, and from time to time a bird chirps, ripples on the river bank touched by the breeze.
"Is that pen still there?" Yanhua asked softly.
Yanhua gave Lao Tan a pen before leaving.
"In------" Lao Tan replied.
"I won't watch you write now."
"Having a computer makes typing easier --- but I keep that pen. You gave it to me. It's a testimony of love, right?" Lao Tan joked.
Yanhua's cheeks were flushed and she felt a little hot. She smoothed her hair around her ears with her hands to cover up, and pretended to be relaxed and said, "Witness my love. I'll give you love if you dare to ask for it."
Old Tan smiled sarcastically and said, "It's just a souvenir, a memory of youth."
"Sometimes I really miss that time, and I can still dream about it."
"I just remember that you cried so hard that your nose was full of tears. When I got home, I went to the bathroom and took off my clothes before I dared to enter the house. I was afraid that Lin Yan would see something."
"Haha, you're lying--you said you didn't know what was going on at that time. You just wanted to cry and couldn't control it. It felt like you were parting from life or death."
"You can't help crying when you are deeply in love. You are so sad. You have lost this good man like me and there is nowhere to look for him -"
"Smelly." Yanhua gave Lao Tan a charming look and said, "Isn't my Lao Deng better than you? Although he is a person who has made mistakes, he has corrected his mistakes."
"By the way, is Lao Deng on a business trip again?" Lao Tan asked.
"I'm on a business trip, Haicheng. I'll be back soon. There's only one week left." Yanhua said.
"Lao Deng is really nice to you now."
"It's okay, we're an old married couple - how are you two with Lin Yan? Or do you not care about the other?" Yanhua asked.
"Well, it's still like that." Lao Tan sighed, took out his cigarette and lit it.
"What do you think I can do?" Yanhua asked with concern.
Lao Tan looked at Yanhua meaningfully and said, "You have done everything for me. Did you arrange for Yaru to go?"
Yanhua smiled and said yes with her eyes.
"We won't get divorced from Lin Yan, and we still have children. Nothing will happen to Yaru. You don't know yet. I am a thief but not a thief. Besides, I am forty, and I don't dare to do some things.
After thinking about it, I always feel that there is not enough time, and I want to do something, but my heart is not focused on it." Lao Tan said.
"I understand this." Yanhua said: "The purpose of asking Yaru to go is to let you two be alone together. The main thing is to take care of you. She has you in her heart and is more considerate than others, so I feel relieved.
Let me tell you, Lao Tan, it’s all up to you to make our family what it is now. Don’t let anything happen to you. If anything happens to you, Yanzi and I will be finished. We can’t do anything. You are the backbone of both of us.”
"It's not that serious, you two are fine now," Lao Tan said.
"What's the matter? I didn't look at the swallows. I was still like a child. I just knew how to play and didn't know how to worry. I'm the same way. I feel stronger than before. It's mainly because you are here. I thought about it and made a mistake.
It's okay, you can take care of it." Yanhua said.
"Let me tell you, do you know that there is a 'Qiao Chef' in Nanjing? The boss is a woman, and she has become a good company. I read the report that even graduating college students apply for the job. It is a good employer.
.In our family, we don’t even have a technical secondary school student, and high school is considered the highest.”
"I also looked at it. Her family is quite good. It is a star restaurant company in Nanjing. I have the opportunity to learn from it," Yanhua said.
"We haven't gone out to study for a long time. We can't do it behind closed doors. We have to keep up with the situation. We opened the Hohhot store and Taishan Road store and went out for a walk to recharge our batteries," Lao Tan said.
"I also have this intention. In the first two days, I told Yanzi that I would go to the CEO class in Beijing to study." Yanhua nodded.
Lao Tan gave Yanhua a thumbs up and said, "You know, smart people invest in things above the neck, and stupid people invest in things below the neck. I give you a thumbs up."
"You brought this with you, okay?" Yanhua said with a smile.
"You should not feel bad when you spend money on three things in your life, and don't blink your eyes. Spend money for your parents, spend money for your sisters, brothers, and friends, and spend money for your head."
“That’s a good summary.”
Lao Tan said: "I didn't sum it up, but I agree. If you want to make money, you have to know how to spend it. The money you spend belongs to you, and the money you don't spend does not necessarily belong to someone else. Those who know how to spend money do it for themselves."
Increase your ability to make money. People who don’t know how to spend money will save money for others.
This time in Hohhot, I chatted for a while with a great master I met in Ganqika, and I benefited a lot. He is a great master, and he cultivates Buddhism. He teaches Buddhism to people and practices. We open a dumpling restaurant, which is also a practice. It is just a
It’s just a matter of being born and entering the world.”
"When did you get involved with Buddhist practitioners again?" Yanhua asked curiously.
"It's fate. I have a fate with the Buddha. It's good to practice Buddhism when I have nothing to do. It will keep my mind calm and my ears and eyes clear. In the past, I thought that if I have the ability, I can help others if I can, which can be regarded as accumulating virtue. After talking with the great master,
I think we are doing good deeds. To open a store, we have to hire more than 30 employees. On the other hand, more than 30 people are full of hope for our store, and more than 30 families are full of hope for us.
Both of us are bitter gourds and know what it’s like to work. What we look forward to most at the end of the month is to be paid so that we can support our families. We just need to ensure that we pay our employees on time every month and give them the best benefits so that everyone can work here.
If you feel comfortable, take this as a job where you can work in a senior company, it will be a blessing."
Lao Tan stopped here and lit another cigarette.
Yanhua looked at him enthusiastically and asked him to continue talking with her eyes.
"People have to do something in this life. It is said that a person is capable, can make money, and live a good life at home. Yes, this is what it should be. Who doesn't live a good life? I am the same way. But think about it.
Think about it, how much money a person makes in this life, how much wealth he has, does not depend on how smart or capable he is, but how many people he cares for with his abilities and wealth.
Everything is based on cause and effect. This is not superstitious. Only by caring for more people will more people love you in return. Then wealth will come naturally. This is also what people often say, "Those who love go out love to return, and those who go out are blessed."
Good luck." Lao Tan said calmly.
"You have achieved enlightenment and become an immortal." Yanhua teased and said with a smile.
"Haha." Lao Tan chuckled.
"Do you know what Yanzi and I think?" Yanhua asked.
"What do you think?"
"We don't think as far as you do, and we can't think of those things, but we feel the same. We always talk together when we have nothing to do. If we don't open a dumpling restaurant, we won't have a free day. I go to work, and she plays mahjong. I work hard to earn one.
With three to four thousand yuan a month, she may not be making any money. But she is guaranteed to be very tired throughout the day. Maybe she doesn't worry about it, but it's not interesting.
A day at a restaurant is just a day, but this day is much more interesting than a day at work to earn money. It is very fulfilling. I feel like I have something to do and the food is delicious. It is false to say that I don’t like money. But I really don’t pay attention.
When it comes to money, spend as much or as little as you want, just enough. As long as you have something to do in a day, and it is your own business, your heart will be open.
It’s pretty much what you think. I work hard to build a good business and pay employees every month. When I see my employees receiving their wages, I feel a unique sense of accomplishment. I’m very proud. Sometimes I feel so excited that I want to cry------
I didn’t expect that I, Yanhua, would also pay wages to others------haha."
At this time, Yanhua's eyes were filled with moisture.
