Non-sister-in-law Raiders

Speaking of Jiang Lan.

After Jiang Lan returned home, naturally there would not be a table of sumptuous delicacies waiting for her, but only a few symbolic words of care and more complaints from Jiang's father: water is expensive, electricity is expensive, rice is expensive, and manpower is the cheapest , he is now cooking for workers in a private slipper factory in the town, and what he earns a month is enough to feed himself.

After Jiang Lan listened, she said blankly: "Don't worry, I don't need you to support me, and Serena doesn't need you to support me, as long as you take care of yourself."

"That was not what I meant..."

Jiang Lan didn't bother to look at him anymore, so she cut straight to the point and said, "Dad, I want to live a down-to-earth life when I come back. If you still want to live with our siblings, you should do things honestly and be a man of duty. Is there any way to make money?" It’s not hard work, and the money that comes quickly goes quickly. If you want to make quick money, you can continue to follow the old path, but I won’t care about you anymore, and neither will Serena. Big deal, we’ve separated.”

Father Jiang's face was burning with embarrassment when he said this, and he hurriedly said: "How can we be separated? Wouldn't that be part of the family? No, I have sons and daughters. If this gets out, I will stop being a human being. Of course I want to be with you. You live together, I have long since given up gambling, and now I don’t even watch people play cards.”

Perhaps he could only hear half of what he said, but the anxiety on his face was not faked.

So Jiang Lan also calmed down and said: "You can do your best. I will still pay for the household in the future, not much, but it is enough for the three of us to eat. Water, electricity and coal are small, and you will pay for it." Is it okay? When Serena works, I will also let him contribute to the household."

Jiang's father nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes, I will pay for water, electricity and coal."

"We have hands and feet and are willing to work hard. As long as we don't go astray, life will only get better and better."

The days will get better and better. Jiang Lan is really looking forward to it, so she called Chef Zhang who worked with him that night.

There are still two weeks before the Chinese New Year, and it is the peak season for banquets, so naturally she will not give herself a break.

Chef Zhang was very pleasantly surprised when he received Jiang Lan's call, but because his niece was arguing next to him and it was hard to listen and talk in detail, he just told her that he lived at his daughter's house in the city recently and asked her to write down the address. Come home the next day for a detailed discussion.

The next morning, Jiang Lan went out after eating early.

However, just a few minutes after leaving home, she met Lin Weijian on the road.

Lin Weijian also saw her from a distance, stepped on the car several times and asked, "Are you going out?"

Unexpectedly, Lin Weijian would come suddenly, Jiang Lan was stunned for a few seconds before answering him: "Brother, are you here to look for me?"

"Yes." Lin Weijian hurriedly took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Lan, "I'm here to give you this. This is the money you sent back in the past two years, deducting the original sum, and the money you spent in the hospital that year. There are still three thousand and five thousand five thousand of the sum you gave me at the time, so you take it away."

Jiang Lan didn't pick it up, she didn't know what to say, so she had to ask what she always cared about the most: "Is Aunt Guo still in good health?"

"Okay, it's all right."

Jiang Lan was relieved now, and pushed the envelope in Lin Weijian's hand, "Brother, then leave this money for Weikang, it's my heart, you don't need to tell Aunt Guo."

"No, Weikang is the responsibility of our whole family, not yours. Jiang Lan, you have to keep the money. This is what my mother means, and it's also what Jin Yun means. Okay, I have something else to do, so I'm leaving first."

Lin Weijian turned around and was about to ride away, but in the end he couldn't complain, so he turned to look at Jiang Lan and said, "Actually, Jin Yun is the most like my mother, both of them have the same stubbornness and stubborn temper. I know you are a good girl , but I don't want to see their mother and daughter having conflicts because of you again. I hope you can take this into account when you act in the future. After all, how young is Jinyun, she sometimes acts impulsively and recklessly. If necessary, please You must persuade her to stop her."

Jiang Lan originally thought that he would tell her not to have anything to do with her sister, but she didn't expect such words.

From these words, she heard Lin Weijian's acquiescence and entrustment, which made her both grateful and ashamed.

"Brother, thank you, I will watch her."

Seeing her wet eyes, Lin Weijian looked away uncomfortably, turned his head and said "Let's go" in a muffled voice, and rode away.

So, Jiang Lan went back home to lock up the money.The money came so suddenly that she had no idea for a moment, she just wanted to ask Lin Jinyun first and then decide how to deal with the money together.

Jiang Lan went to the city by car.

It took nearly two hours to drive there. Fortunately, Chef Zhang’s daughter’s house was not hard to find. When Jiang Lan bought the fruit and came to the door, it was just after ten o’clock, which was the best time to talk about things in the morning. .

Chef Zhang enthusiastically led Jiang Lan in, and his wife still remembered Jiang Lan, saying that she had lost a lot of weight, and nagging that girls should not be too thin, too thin would not look good, and fatter would make her look younger.

Jiang Lan just smiled when she heard the words, but Chef Zhang gave a "tsk" and blamed his wife, "Why doesn't she look good when she's thin? Why doesn't she look good when she's thin? Oh, she looks good when she's bloated? You, you, go and accompany Niu Niu." , don't bother us here."

The wife gave him a blank look, then smiled and said a few polite words to Jiang Lan, and then went to accompany the niece.

Chef Zhang handed Jiang Lan a sliced ​​apple and said, "Alan, come and eat an apple."

"Thank you."

"What have you been busy with all these years?"

Jiang Lan hurriedly put down the toothpick in her hand, and apologized: "Master, I'm sorry, I have been busy outside these few years, and I didn't take time to see you. It really shouldn't be. Are you and your lover healthy?"

"Hey, it's a shame to say that. It's a good thing for young people to have their own careers. Both of us are fine. My wife is now helping to take care of the children at home, and I'm still hosting banquets in Laban. I've been doing it for decades. , If you really let me rest, I won’t feel used to it.”

"Well, as long as you feel happy. But you also have to take care of your body, such as pulling tables and stools, setting up stoves and tents, which require climbing and lifting. You have to take it easy, rather slow down."

"Hey." Chef Zhang listened comfortably, and asked her again: "How about you, how have you been these few years?"

Jiang Lan didn't intend to hide it, so she gave a general account of what she had done in Shenzhen in the past few years. Of course, she concealed the reasons behind it. She only said that she wanted to go to the special zone to see and see, but after seeing it, she just wanted to go back to Shenzhen. Work hard in my hometown.

She spoke sincerely and pragmatically. After hearing this, Chef Zhang said with emotion: "Oh, I have seen many people who have gone out to make a living in the past few years. Few of them are willing to come back if they do well. Even if they do not do well, they will come back." Bragging and pretending, you may not have much ability, and you always don't look at us locals. You are honest and honest."

Jiang Lan said modestly: "It's good to have outsiders, and it's good to have your own home. Maybe I'm short-sighted, I always feel that it's the same wherever I work hard."

"Yes, I love to hear what you say. That's the truth. It's nothing to do with the locality. The talent is the most important thing." He asked her again: "So, you plan to come back and return to your profession?"

"Master, I don't want to hide it from you. In fact, I plan to come back to open a shop, but I don't have enough capital yet, so I can only earn the money first. If you still have a vacancy here, it's okay if you have less money. Can do anything."

Chef Zhang was once again impressed by her frankness and sincerity. After thinking about it, he decided to help her, "Alan, I naturally have jobs here. But if you want to make more money quickly, I can introduce you to a more A master with oil and water."

Money can't be earned, but people can't forget their roots.

"Master, I want to follow you. You don't have to worry about my business, you can give as much as you want."

When Chef Zhang heard it, he felt admiration in his heart, and said with emotion: "Alan, you really haven't changed at all."

"What hasn't changed? My aunt said I lost weight."

"Hahaha, don't listen to her nonsense."

After making an appointment to meet for the next banquet, the two chatted about some experiences in Shenzhen.Half an hour later, Jiang Lan saw that the time was almost up, so she hurriedly got up and said goodbye.

Chef Zhang and his wife naturally tried their best to persuade her to keep her for lunch, but she refused to say anything, so the couple had no choice but to let her go.Chef Zhang also specially sent her downstairs, and only went upstairs after watching her go far.

Jiang Lan was so happy that her job was settled, and she felt much lighter when she walked to the station.

As he was walking, a strong smell of milk wafted over, and then he saw a lot of people standing in front of a window and queuing up, as if they were waiting for something.

The bustling scene aroused Jiang Lan's curiosity, so she walked a few steps closer and looked into the window.

I saw two elder sisters in uniform standing in the glass window, packing white cakes with all four hands.

She glanced at the line of red letters beside the glass window again, which read: Cream Coconut Cream Cake, four yuan per piece.

Coconut frosting cake?

Jiang Lan felt that this name seemed to have been heard somewhere, so she looked up at the shop in front of her again.

A line of light box signs immediately came into view, Baifenghuang Western Restaurant.

She finally remembered that this was the western restaurant that Lin Jinyun had mentioned to her a few years ago.

It turned out to be here.

It's so big, is it from here to the front?

Curious, she walked forward slowly.

In front was a row of transparent floor-to-ceiling windows. It was meal time, and there were people sitting on the dining tables by the windows.

At the third table, two girls were having a strange clinking ceremony.

Cups collide with soup bowls.
