Lao Tan never expected to meet Qin Haixiao while having a meal here, which surprised and surprised him.
"What are you—" Lao Tan meant to ask what you were doing here, but he didn't think it was like that, so he didn't ask further.
Qin Haixiao said: "This is my uncle's second brother's restaurant. It was renovated last year. Isn't it an epidemic this year? He didn't want to work so he handed it over to me."
Lao Tan said "Oh" and then said: "Very good, good job! I said these dumplings taste like Ah Qiao. It turns out you opened the restaurant. It's a good restaurant and you have a lot of potential."
.”
Qin Haixiao said: "Mr. Tan, please don't hurt me. I'm just making a living by making a small fuss."
Lao Tan said: "Hey, what are you talking about? This is not a small fight. Everything starts from small and leads to big things. Ah Qiao was not much older than you when he first started doing it. Do it well with some snacks and look after you.
.”
After speaking, Lao Tan introduced Brother Liu and Qin Haixiao to each other, and then invited Qin Haixiao to sit down and have a drink together.
After Qin Haixiao sat down, he first filled the glasses of Brother Liu and Lao Tan with wine, then raised his glasses and said: "First of all, I would like to toast the two big brothers, thank you for supporting me."
So the three of them raised their glasses to each other and each took a sip.
The second glass of wine was given by Qin Haixiao to Lao Tan alone. He said: "Mr. Tan, I didn't expect to see you today. To be honest, I feel sorry for you ------ and even more sorry for Ah Qiao ---
---"
Lao Tan said: "There is nothing I can't apologize for. It's over now. Let's move on." Then he straightened his face and said seriously: "It's Liu Yang you can't forgive. You can't forgive me."
She doesn't do things rightly."
"Yes, I can't help her--" Qin Haixiao said in a low voice, avoiding Lao Tan's eyes that were shooting at him like arrows.
"Let me tell you about the tsunami. Don't do anything wrong with your heart in this life. If you can't make up for it, you will feel guilty for the rest of your life. And don't hurt the woman who loves you. That's not what we Northeastern men do, so we should be careful.
As for you jumping to Wuhan to fuck me, I'm not angry at all. It's normal for water to flow to lower places and people to higher places. I hope you can do well there and make a difference.
People, you never know, but if you take a closer look, this experience will be a good thing for you. It’s not a bad thing to get rid of your arrogance and beat yourself up for being self-righteous.
Again, always start small and work your way up, calm down and work hard. With your intelligence and talent, it is impossible to keep pace with Ah Qiao in ten years."
Qin Haixiao was very enlightened by Lao Tan's words, and they happily drank their second cup.
The three of them drank the third cup together. After that, customers came into the store, and Qin Haixiao returned to the kitchen.
"What's going on? I heard you two nagging that this guy changed jobs at your place?" Brother Liu asked.
"Well, that's what happened."
Lao Tan briefly explained to Brother Liu the ins and outs of Qin Haixiao's job change.
"That's not very fair." Brother Liu shook his head and said.
"Haha," Old Tan said with a smile, "You are young and energetic, seven are dissatisfied and eight are dissatisfied. I was like that when I was young."
Brother Liu said: "Those who know others are wise, those who know themselves are wise, those who conquer others are powerful, and those who conquer themselves are strong. People are afraid that they do not have self-knowledge and feel that they can do anything and have not hit the wall."
"I guess he won't do this again." Lao Tan said.
"It's all uncertain, brother, otherwise how can we say that dogs can't change their eating shit.
Just like us drinkers, if you drink too much, you will vomit and lose consciousness, and your head will be buzzing and painful when you wake up the next morning. Don't worry, ten out of ten will say that they will never drink again for the rest of their lives.
If you continue to drink, you will no longer be human.
Huh! Wait for two days and wait until you feel better. You can still drink it. You can’t change it and you can’t quit it.”
Lao Tan thought about this for a while and gave an example himself.
Brother Liu continued: "It is difficult for people to defeat desire.
What is job hopping? To put it bluntly, it is greed. When you are greedy, you want to earn as much money as you want, and you want to be as big an official as possible, so that you can seek personal gain for yourself.
You see, as long as people skip jobs, they will make plans for the next one. Why? You taste the sweetness. Especially if you are a restaurant owner, if I were a chef, I would definitely pay a higher salary than the other.
Just do it, right?"
Lao Tan nodded in agreement.
Brother Liu continued: "No one is afraid of money biting their hands, the more the better. To put it bluntly, what do we ordinary people mean by living? Don't just point at money. Look at those old men and old ladies in the small park, dancing and exercising.
Yes, living a more nourishing life than anyone else.
Why should they?
Take away their pensions and look at it, no one has the time to dance, they all have to go out and collect bottles and rags."
Lao Tan laughed and said: "Nowadays, retired elderly people in China live happily and are carefree all day long. I heard that it is easy to just lift up and leave. They are the real people who can turn on and go at any time."
travel."
"No, your sister-in-law left yesterday with their classmates to see the autumn frost and maple leaves."
"Why don't you go along?"
"If I don't go, I'm all her classmates. I don't know anyone who wouldn't be aggrieved enough to go."
"Don't you have classmates? Why, your classmates don't get together?" Lao Tan asked.
"Hey——" Brother Liu sighed first, and then said: "I can't get together——"
"What's going on?"
"Some of them left, some of them went to other places, some of them went abroad, and the remaining few in the provincial capital have long since stopped contacting ---"
"No one has been contacted?"
"There are two or three others who are not in good health and have a hard time getting in and out. I am considered a good person among them."
The two of them didn't have any central topic, they just chatted casually. From job hopping to greed, from greed to class reunion, and from class reunion to international affairs.
When it was almost time to finish the meal, the two of them ended their fight. Brother Liu wanted to go over to pay the bill, but Lao Tan said no, and he couldn't take it, which was like scolding him.
Seeing them leaving, Qin Haixiao ran out of the kitchen to see them off, took a taxi, and asked the driver to take them home safely.
Changsha, Central Kitchen Store.
Liu Yanggang sent away a table of city bureau leaders with a smile, and then her cell phone rang. She took out her cell phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. When she was about to hang up, she didn't know whether it was because she had twisted her muscles wrongly or her fingers were not working properly.
, pressed the answer button.
Okay, now the call is connected, pick it up.
"Hello, who are you?" Liu Yang asked.
"Mr. Tan came to see me this morning."
Buzz——
Liu Yang's head suddenly grew bigger. Isn't this that bastard Qin Haixiao?
After a brief brain failure, she wanted to hang up the phone immediately, but she heard clearly what Qin Haixiao said just now - Mr. Tan came to see me this morning.
What? Master went to his place? Why did he go to his place?
She wanted to know what Lao Tan was doing, so she didn't hang up, but found a quiet corner to answer the call.
"I know you are listening." Qin Haixiao said calmly over there.
"Why is my master going to your place? Does he have something to do with you?" Liu Yang asked.
Liu Yang can't be seen here, but Qin Haixiao is already in tears after hearing her voice at this moment------
After not seeing Qin Haixiao speak for a long time, Liu Yang was a little anxious and said, "Speak, otherwise I will die."
Qin Haixiao wiped the tears from his face with difficulty, swallowed hard, then adjusted himself and said in a normal tone: "He passed by me when he came back from attending a funeral. I opened a
