The story of a cook

Chapter 605 Two Girls Chatting
After Zhang Li got divorced, she bought a house with two bedrooms and one living room. Although it was not big, it was enough for one person.

She paid a lot for her two-year marriage.Ever since Liu Zhigang knew that she was infertile, she had been accommodating, sometimes even submissive.

She already planned to have no children, so she lived with Liu Zhigang for the rest of her life, if she couldn't do it, she could adopt one.But in the later stage Liu Zhigang became unbearable, drinking, smoking, playing mahjong, and even staying in the mahjong parlor overnight.She went to the mahjong parlor to look for it twice, but she also came back. When she came back, she first scolded her, then smashed things at home, and when she was serious, she punched and kicked her.

This kind of life is really unbearable. After two years of marriage, the two divorced.

Marriage is a matter between two people. A family cannot be maintained by one person. No matter how much you give, if the other person is determined not to want to live with you, the only option is to divorce.

At the beginning, Zhang Li thought that Liu Zhigang was young, and after knowing that she was infertile, she felt pressured and in a bad mood. It was understandable to lose her temper, and it was fine not to mess with him.Get up every morning and make breakfast, and serve him comfortably to go to work.

But after Chinese New Year this year, after Liu Zhigang discovered that taking medicine had no effect on him, the man's inferiority complex made him unreasonable, who had never suffered any blows since childhood, thinking that his wife's kindness to him was pity for him, and her concern for him Taunt him for not being a man.The psychological distortion eventually led to a perverted personality. He began to drink heavily, play mahjong, stay away from home at night, and his temper became more and more irritable.

In the past, when the two of them got angry, they just exchanged words and finished the matter. If they didn't have a cold war for two days, no one would talk to the other, and then they let nature take its course and passed away slowly.How can a couple not quarrel, their tongues always touch their teeth.

This is what happened last year. This year, there was no cold war in the quarrel. Liu Zhigang was as irritable as a mad dog. He started swearing in no more than three sentences, and then started to fight.No matter how physically fit a woman is, she can't beat a man. Zhang Li was beaten at every turn, and her body was bruised and purple.She who has always been strong has never suffered such grievances. Every time after a fight, she will ask her parents-in-law to comment. Regardless of whether it is true or not, the parents-in-law will naturally give her son a hard lesson.

However, it is difficult to change the temper.After each quarrel, there would be a two-day break. Zhang Li bought a new set of bowls, plates, and cups that were broken by her husband during the quarrel, and told herself to forget it and deal with it. Just two years.But the good times didn't last long, and Liu Zhigang's mentality had become abnormal. He still broke out in war against his tolerant wife, committed domestic violence, and threw plates and bowls all over the floor again.

Gradually Zhang Li despaired, no matter how difficult the marriage was to maintain, it came to an end.

Sometimes this beautiful and charming woman thinks, is this fate?

She wants to have a family, a husband who loves her, a lovely child, and a happy family life.But things backfired. These things that are normal in people's eyes are luxuries for her, which are beyond reach.

After two years of married life, he became single again.

At 41, she has to think for herself.

When the two divorced, the property was divided, half of each person.She didn't want a house, but got 10 yuan in cash, plus she had saved some money in the past few years, and bought a house with a mortgage.No matter what, the house is the main thing, and you have to give yourself a place to live.In the future, I might not have anything to do with men anymore, and I would be worthy of myself if I gave myself the whole nest.

To survive after divorce, you have to support yourself.No matter how unfortunate the marriage is, life must go on.Knowing that I am no longer young, age is the biggest obstacle to working in the catering industry. Compared with those young girls in their 20s, they are young, beautiful and energetic.What I have is experience.

But if he doesn’t do catering, he can’t do anything else. He has been working in restaurants since he came out of school. Twenty years have passed in a flash, and he hasn’t left the restaurant.Now that I am a single woman, I support myself, so I have to keep working.

After buying the house, there are still tens of thousands of dollars left, but what are these tens of thousands of dollars enough for?If it was okay ten years ago, tens of thousands of dollars was called money, but now it is nothing. If you don't go to work, you can't even pay the mortgage and expenses for less than a year.

I visited Zheng Jiaqi's shop a few days ago, and it's really good, and I'm thinking about making one, but I'm short of funds, and I don't have enough energy.It happened that Zheng Jiaqi said that the old Laohan Villa in Santaizi had been converted into a hotel, and she was looking for a manager. She thought that was just right, her family was in Santaizi, and she had worked in Laohan Villa before.

I didn't think it would work.

Today is her first rest day after going to work. After getting up, she washes her face and prepares to tidy up the house without cooking.The house is a bit messy, I am alone, I get off work very late every day, and I go to bed after washing up at home.Get up at 08:30 the next morning, wash your face, put on makeup, tidy up at 45:[-], go downstairs and ride an electric car to the Kanto family at [-]:[-], eat breakfast in a hurry, sign in and open regular meetings, and then have a busy day, No time to tidy up the house.

She realized that she was about to become a sloppy woman, so she thought she would be sloppy, since she was alone, and no one came at home, as long as she looked pleasing to the eye.

While packing up, the phone rang and Zheng Jiaqi called.

"Sister Li, have you gone to the Kanto family?" Zheng Jiaqi asked on the phone.

"I have been working for half a month." Zhang Li said.

"That's good, didn't you go to work today?"

"Rest today."

"Have a good rest, come and have a drink." Zheng Jiaqi sent out an invitation.

Zhang Li said: "Have a drink, I'm not going where you are, I'm cleaning the house, come here."

"Okay, wait for me at home, it will pass in a while."

Zhang Li put down the phone and continued to tidy up. Zheng Jiaqi will come later, so the house should not be too messy.After buying the house, except for her father and her younger sister's family of three, no one else has been here, and Zheng Jiaqi is the first one.

An hour later, Zheng Jiaqi arrived just as the house was cleaned up.

After Zheng Jiaqi entered the house, she looked around first, and said to Zhang Li from a woman's perspective: "Your house is fine, the floor is just right, and the room is spacious enough for you to live in."

"After working for half my life, I saved nothing but a house." Zhang Li said with emotion.

"It's enough to have a house, what else do you want?"

Zhang Li smiled, and the two began to clear the table.Zheng Jiaqi brought smoked trotters, smoked chicken feet, smoked chicken head, mixed dried tofu and dumplings.

She returned to the provincial capital to open a tavern, and the business was very good, earning 1 yuan a month.

"Can you do it without being in the store?" Zhang Li asked.

"It's okay, it doesn't matter if I'm here or not. They're all familiar with it and don't need me." Zheng Jiaqi said.

"Your smoke is delicious."

"It's okay, and everyone who eats it says it's delicious."

"There are a lot of smoked flavors in the provincial capital now, and I see that the Four Seasons noodles also have a smoked flavor."

Zheng Jiaqi took a sip of wine and said, "Yes, here we go. His house is cheap, and there are many people eating, but the samples are not as many as mine."

"His family does not focus on smoked flavors, but mainly sells noodles and chicken racks." Zhang Li seemed to think of something, and said to Zheng Jiaqi: "When Lao Tan was working at Qingwatai, he smoked the chicken heads and feet of breeders. That Big, one chicken head can hold two of these chicken heads." She gestured to Zheng Jiaqi with the chicken head in her hand.

"I'm thinking about it too, but I don't know if it's sold in the store." Zheng Jiaqi said.

"There should be. You can go to the industry to inquire about it, just in case there is."

"Go around tomorrow."

Zhang Li recalled the scene when she was working in Qingwatai, and said: "At that time, the Qingwatai family in Santaizi had big chicken feet and big chicken heads, and the sales were very popular, and there were not enough to sell every day. In addition, eating was also enjoyable. One was worth two. I can eat meat."

"I heard from Xiaomei that their big chicken heads and big chicken feet are sold well, and they are also bought by the boss." Zheng Jiaqi said.

"He is good at fixing that stuff," Zhang Li said.

"I haven't seen him for two years. I don't know what he is like now."

"I haven't seen him for two years. He's doing it now, the director of kitchen affairs." Zhang Li said.

Zheng Jiaqi asked: "Does he know that you are divorced?"

"I didn't tell him. I guess I already know. Li Shuang still has something to tell him."

Speaking of Li Shuang, Zheng Jiaqi sighed, "Li Shuang is also troublesome enough. The house is gone, and the person can't be found, so there is only one son left."

"I didn't expect his Xiao Gao to be like that. He looks quite honest, and he didn't think about doing big things."

After Zhang Li finished speaking, she thought to herself, but she also said the same thing, why did Li Shuang have a son, and she had nothing but a house.

"I have no place to talk about people. They look like dogs on the outside. No one looks at them. I don't know what it looks like. It looks good. Maybe my heart will die." Zheng Jiaqi said, she thought of Linjiang. Xuan's Mr. Huo.That man is handsome and distinguished, so what can he do?It's not like playing adult games with yourself.

The two chatted aimlessly, talking about the man in the provincial military region where Zheng Jiaqi is now.Zheng Jiaqi said that she didn't know if she could have children, so she wanted to have a child.

Zhang Li teased Zheng Jiaqi and said, "You two will know if you try it."

Zheng Jiaqi blushed a bit, and said: "Can this be tried? I'm 43, and I have to get it when I'm pregnant. Unlike a little girl, it's okay, and if you don't want it, you can get rid of it. Don't worry about him, he still has that big girl Well. He was also afraid that his girl would disagree, so he didn't tell his girl about our affairs."

"What does his girl disagree with? After graduating from university, she has to find a job and date. After dating, she should get married. Why don't her father find a wife?" Zhang Li said.

"Hey——" Zheng Jiaqi sighed, and then said, "Drink a drink, and talk about this to make trouble."

These two women both want a child. Zhang Li is because Liu Zhigang is infertile, and Zheng Jiaqi is because she is infertile. Now that she is cured, she wants to try.There are some things you can try in this life, and some things you can't just try casually.

It is a pity that a woman in her 40s does not have children of her own, and her life is somewhat incomplete.

The two chattered about Zhang Li's work again, and Zheng Jiaqi asked, "The Kanto family is quite big, can you fix it yourself?"

"It doesn't matter what it is. The business is not very good now, but the potential is great. There is still hope for a good job." Zhang Li said.

"It would be great if Li Shuang came back to help you. I can't help you with the whole shop."

"No, I'm fine." Zhang Li said confidently, "Sister Shuang did a good job in Binhai, let her work there. The salary is higher than that in the provincial capital. You won't be able to earn that when you come back."

"Isn't she close to home when she comes back, and she can take care of the children."

"When you come back, you can see your children every day, and you can't take care of them. You don't know what our business is like. You get off work late, and when you go home, the children are asleep. You have to go to work when you get up in the morning. You work for a whole day. You can't control your children at all. .” Zhang Li said.

"It's fine if you can watch it every day. The child is so young, and the mother can't always be in front of her. I don't want to think about it."

"That's true." Zhang Li thought for a while and said, "I just want to have a child. If I don't get married in this life, I just want to have a child."

Zheng Jiaqi looked at her and smiled, and said, "If you want a child, no one will have it with you? You still have to find a man."

"Old Tan that bastard, wait for him to come back and have a baby with him."

Zheng Jiaqi smiled and said: "You said this when Qian was in Linjiangxuan for several years. At that time, the boss had no children. Now everyone's children are so old and they haven't seen you. You just talk about it and have a good time." Mouth."

"Isn't there always been no chance? If there is a chance, I will never let it go."

"The boss is very good to his wife, don't do stupid things."

"Don't worry, don't destroy his family, I won't do that."

"Okay, you just take it as it is."

Zhang Li took a sip of wine, as if to embolden herself, and then said: "You think I dare not, as long as I get pregnant, I don't tell him, and I can't support a confinement woman when the time comes. child."

"You can feed yourself, but it's tiring. You have to think about it."

"Save more money."

"Money is secondary. It's okay for a child to be ignorant when he is young. When he is sensible, ask him who his father is? How do you answer? You can't say that his father is dead. Besides, when the child goes to school, he will understand everything. , At that time, you couldn't hide it even if you wanted to, it's no wonder he didn't find his own father."

Has a woman raised a child alone?Yes, but rarely.

Raising a child is not an easy task. It looks simple, but it is actually complicated. Only those who have experienced it know the hardships.
