through those heavy years

Before I knew it, I had been learning how to cook with Fatty for nearly ten months.The manager saw that I was doing well.Often when there are too many guests and the kitchen is too busy, I will try to fry a few dishes and serve them out to cope with the situation.He never thought that after the customers ate my dishes, they would praise me and think that some new senior chef had been hired.The manager was very fond of me when he heard the appreciation from the guests.Since then, I have also taken the position of chef.

The fat man saw that I had made great progress, and he was on an equal footing with him, and he was really happy for me from the bottom of his heart.He danced happily, and said to me: "The salary has been raised, the promotion has been upgraded, and I want to treat, I want to treat!"

I sincerely thanked the fat man and said, "Okay, what do you want to eat?"

The fat man pretended to think.He went out for a while, and then came back mysteriously.Seeing his strange smile, I don't know what he thought.

It was already 10:30 in the evening when the busy working hours were over.The fat man decided to ask me to invite him to eat supper, and he drove me through the streets of the city on his poor electric motorcycle.For a while, the speed of the wind, the flow of neon lights, and the noise of the city gave me a sense of relaxation.I like the unrestrained life, which makes me feel the strength and passion.For so many days, I have been sluggish as always, but in the sluggishness, I relentlessly pursue the sunshine.I struggled in this state of mind, not giving up the pursuit of rebirth.

"Ah—" I yelled loudly, just like the youthful young man on TV, yelling wantonly.Shouting can really feel liberating.The blowing of the wind, the constant flow of cars, and the majestic towering of high-rise buildings, these things that are close to me make me care deeply.

The fat man chuckled and sang a cheerful song against the wind.Finally, this city gave me the unrestrained spirit of youth.

The fat man drove me to a crowded night market, where there were many people with stalls selling all kinds of things.There are useful things to wear, things to eat and things to play.Form a unique trading style.Luo Feng and I visited the night market, but because we were in a hurry, we only walked around the entrance of the night market and didn't go deep into it.Now when I walk in, I realize that there are many things that are cheap and practical, and many snacks are fragrant and delicious.The fat man said, go further inside, and I will take you to the food stall opened by my friend. Some late-night snacks are much more delicious than these roadside stalls.

The fat man pulled me in and finally stopped in front of several small restaurants with the same food stall.Small restaurants have set up tents, and tables and chairs are placed outside in tents.The tents of almost every store are full of people eating supper, and the food stalls of fat friends are especially crowded, depending on the situation, it is indeed a bit special.

"Xiao Shunzi, it's been a long time!" A boss, who looked a bit handsome, came over to say hello when he saw the fat man.

The fat man's face was full of smiles, with a somewhat coquettish demeanor.The whole people swarmed up to give the handsome boss a bear hug, feeling very intimate.

The handsome boss showed an exaggerated expression of being unable to breathe under the pressure of the fat man. Seeing me beside me, he jokingly said, "Hey, have you found a new favorite?"

The fat man was embarrassed, he stood up straight and said, "Don't talk nonsense, my apprentice!"

"Hehe!" The handsome boss looked at him carefully with bright eyes, "He's handsome enough, what's his name!"

The fat man said, "It's called Wang Xiaodong!"

Watching their yin and yang conversations, they always stood aside without saying a word.It's no secret that fat people are gay.But shouldn't such a cryptic thing stick to it forever and not be discovered by anyone?Maybe he thinks it doesn't matter, and he's not afraid of making people laugh.Ideas vary widely from person to person.

But I don't like such open talk. Fatty has been in touch with me for so long, so he should understand my nature.Several times I was disgusted that he talked about my appearance in public, even made some jokes.I showed a disgusted expression, because I felt that this was a kind of disrespect for people.

Fatty saw that I was dissatisfied, and with a embarrassed expression, he hurriedly said to the boss: "Okay, stop talking nonsense, and hurry up and order some special dishes, I'm almost starving to death!"

The handsome boss smiled cunningly, and after a while, some delicious-looking side dishes and a large plate of delicious-looking and strong-tasting crayfish were brought from the kitchen.

"It's delicious!" Fatty kept praising, and he said, "In the past, the business here was very poor, the food was not good, and there were no signature dishes that could be sold. Later, I joined and showed my special skills. With a 360-degree turn!"

"So, you met the boss here!"

"Yeah, he appreciates me!"

I can see that there is an endless stream of visitors here, and the boss is very busy.You must have earned a lot of money, so I asked the fat man curiously, "You are so good, why don't you open your own restaurant?"

He said: "It's too much to worry about. I still have the freedom to work part-time. Besides, I'm young and I haven't had enough fun!"

Fatty is indeed the kind of person who doesn't like to worry or take care of himself. He lives a leisurely life and earns enough to eat, drink and play.He doesn't seem to expect the future, has no enthusiasm for life, and looks like he's doing nothing, chic and self-sufficient.But don't look at him laughing and joking on the surface, he doesn't seem to care about anything, he is actually the most sentimental, sad, sensitive person in his bones.

Just because of his sentimental and depressed side, I have been unable to feel at ease, and I am absent-minded.I didn't think much about him, and kept peeling and eating the lobster.Fatty is a big eater and ordered a lot of dishes.I was a young man, and I ate a lot.After ordering a few catties of lobsters one after another, they were quickly swept away with shells all over the floor.

The fat man looked at me contentedly and said, "Are you full?"

I nodded, feeling really happy with my full stomach.No wonder supper is loved by people.The catering industry seems to have great business opportunities to be found.I think being a chef is an honor, a blessing, and the most correct choice in my life.

The fat man nodded with satisfaction when he saw me, smiled mysteriously at me, then took out a box from his bag at some point, handed it to me, and said it was a gift to congratulate me on my salary increase and promotion to chef.

Looking at his gift, my heart fluctuates uneasy.He taught me to be a chef, and he took care of me in every aspect of life, and now he even gives me presents, which really means asking for something from me.A person will not do his best for a person for no reason, Luo Feng has already told me this.Now I already owe Fatty too much, I can't turn back, and I can't pay it back.So the only hope is that I can no longer bear his kindness.I can't repay his kindness in his way.

I firmly said: "I can't!"

The fat man was a little disappointed, but he still smiled and said to me: "You can open it and have a look!"

I said, "No matter what's in it, if I decide I don't want it, I won't!"

The fat man said: "Why, don't you think I'm a good friend?" After finishing speaking, he opened the box and showed me what was inside. It was a Nokia 1999 mobile phone produced in 7110. It had a light green shell, an antenna on the top of the head, and a The fuselage shell is blocked and can be pushed.It looks high-end and luxurious.

"When I am a friend, I will accept it. Nowadays, young people use mobile phones, and if they don't have one, they will fall behind!"

"Whether I treat you as a friend or not, I can't take such an expensive gift. I owe you too much, and I'm afraid I won't be able to pay it back!"

The fat man was a little melancholy, and said in a low voice: "Is there anything to repay, I just want to be nice to you. Besides, this is not an expensive gift. I asked a friend to buy it at the ex-factory price. You have a mobile phone, and the relationship between us No matter where you are, just get in touch with each other!"

I said heavily: "If you come out to hang out in the society, don't you have to pay back? Besides, you are good enough to me, and I have reached the point where I can't afford it. If I want to get in touch, I will buy it myself if I have money." , what does it look like to receive your gift?"

The fat man begged a little, "Okay, just treat it as an elder brother and give it to your younger brother. It's not decent. You just accept it, don't evade it. It doesn't look good to evade it!"

I felt a little angry, "If you insist again, I will leave!" I have shown a determined look, and I will definitely not accept gifts that cannot be accepted.Grandma doesn't know how to use a mobile phone, and communication is not as practical as writing letters.I use my mobile phone just to contact the fat man alone, I don't think it's necessary, and I think it's too awkward.

"Okay, okay!" Fatty didn't insist, "Why are you so stubborn!"

I think this has always been the case for stubbornness.

I paid the bill and the boss didn't take it at first.But I have to give him whatever.The boss smiled ambiguously, and I turned around to leave.The fat man followed and said, "Hey, don't be angry!"

I said, "I'm not angry!"

"I just want to give you a mobile phone, nothing else!" The fat man was a little bit explaining.

"I know!" He pretended nothing on the surface, but he still couldn't resist the nausea in his heart.

"If you're not angry, it's still early, let's go sing!"

"I won't go, I'm a little tired!"

The fat man knew that I was still angry, so he said awkwardly, "Okay. If you are really not angry, let me take you home!"

Looking at the fat man, my heart was very complicated. I thought that he came to celebrate because I was happy to be promoted to chef. He gave me a gift.Because he has allowed me to change my life and touch different areas of my life.I want to thank him for his original intention and his kindness.Out of many kinds of normal people's psychology, I feel that I have no reason to be angry, because if I don't want to, I can't accept it at the beginning, and it's nothing now.

Mu Ran was exhausted, I tried to smile and said to the fat man, "Okay!"

Sitting in the fat man's car, he drove home all the way.The fat man stopped at the door of the building where I was renting, and looked at the place carefully.

He said: "You just live here, the law and order here is not good, there are often incidents of stealing, hurting people and taking drugs!"

I said: "As long as you don't take the initiative to contaminate, as a big man, there is nothing to be afraid of!"

"Hehe!" The fat man smiled, not intending to leave, and kept looking at me.
