The delicious relationship of rebirth

More than a month ago, Guo Xiaotie left a note on the table and came on an instant trip.She spent 42 days in the field alone with a big bag and spent all her money, and finally remembered that it was time to go back.

As soon as she got off the train, she went straight to the home-cooked restaurant opened by her family. It was almost lunch time and she had to help her father. When her mother and aunt were nagging, only her father could say a few words for herself.

Guo Xiaotie entered through the back door, and entered the back kitchen familiarly. The inside was full of activity, the frying spoons were clinking, and the dishes were fragrant. A plate of salt and pepper prawns had just come out of the pan. With a sip of saliva, he felt hungry and shouted: "Dad, I'm back."

The cooks looked back at her when they heard the sound, and then laughed: "Hey, where is the beauty from, you are so polite."

Guo Xiaotie was stunned for a moment, hey, he didn't recognize these faces at all, a fat cook came over and waved his hands like chasing flies: "Go, why did you come in, do you know that the kitchen is a place where idlers are not allowed to enter?"

"Where's my dad? Why did you change the cook...why did you change the water table too? Er Gouzi? Who are you?" Guo Xiaotie asked in amazement. She clenched the straps of her backpack with both hands and looked around. , I feel very bad, the kitchen is still the original kitchen, but none of the original familiar faces are gone.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Is there something wrong with your head?" The fat cook stared at the bull's-eye, and several other cooks also joined in the fun and gathered around, chattering: "Beauty, you are in the wrong place."

"Little girl, who do you think is your father here?"

"It's so sweet, let's have another one."

"You guys are talking nonsense, this is a restaurant run by my family, and I'm your aunt!"

Guo Xiaotie is not easy to mess with, so he squeezed the cooks away with his big backpack, "Don't take advantage of me, I'll go find the boss." She tried to get out of the kitchen and walked towards the lobby, when suddenly someone stopped her she.

"Wait a minute, are you the daughter of the former Boss Guo?" the skinny cook asked.

"That's right, it's me, finally someone who understands." Guo Xiaotie heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and just wanted to admit it, frowning, "No, what's the original? Please make it clear."

The skinny cook seemed a little friendly, and said, "There was a big incident in the original Boss Guo's family, and he sold the shop to our boss. Don't you know about it?"

"What's the big deal? I'm not at all..." Guo Xiaotie stared wide-eyed, his face suddenly turned pale, "Are you lying to me?"

The cooks began to discuss: "It's Boss Guo's daughter. I heard that she went on a trip outside. She is heartless and doesn't know what happened at home."

"That's right, if you sell the store and lose money, you can save a few years in prison."

Guo Xiaotie was so angry that he opened his mouth to say something harsh, but he didn't look like the skinny cook was bluffing himself. Hearing their twittering nonsense, he felt his hairs all over.She hurriedly opened her backpack to look through her cell phone, and she had to ask her father for clarification, but unfortunately, the battery of the cell phone ran out.

Those cooks were talkative, but they weren't bad. Seeing her like this, they told her not to worry, and the skinny cook told the others to go back to work, and lent her his mobile phone.Trembling, Guo Xiaotie made a phone call at home, and it was his mother who answered.

"Xiao Tie, are you back?"

"Mom, I was in the store. They said that something happened at home. Dad sold the store to someone else. Why didn't you call me and tell me what happened at home?" Guo Xiaotie asked crying.

"...Let's talk about it when we get home. It's your aunt's business." His mother's voice seemed empty, and Guo Xiaotie could only feel a buzzing in his ears. What could happen to sell the store?Who will be sentenced for how many years?

She hung up the phone, thanked the skinny cook, she was not as lively as when she just entered the kitchen, they persuaded her a few words, Guo Xiaotie pursed his mouth to keep tears from falling, left the restaurant, and returned home like a ghost.

Only mother is at home. "Where are dad and aunt?" Guo Xiaotie asked impatiently as soon as he entered the door.

"Don't yell, come in and say it." Guo's mother seemed to be ten years older all of a sudden.

Guo Xiaotie went into the house and asked urgently: "Mom, tell me quickly, what happened to my aunt, I have only been out for more than a month, how come the restaurant at home has become someone else's?"

"Oh, your aunt made a mistake. When she was working as an accountant in the logistics company, she embezzled 120 million public funds and sent them in." Guo's mother's voice was very soft, but Guo Xiaotie only felt a thunder above his head. Unable to recover for a while, Guo's mother helped her untie her backpack, lowered her eyes, as if expressionless.

"Why does my aunt embezzle public funds? Isn't she doing a good job? She is not short of money." Guo Xiaotie asked his mother crying.

"Your aunt is stubborn, so she won't say anything... If she doesn't hurry up and pay off, she will be sentenced to more than ten years. She is already 35. If she goes in, she will be useless in her life, and she will sell the restaurant cheaply. , she can suffer less." Guo's mother said with a choked up voice, "It's just that you have been wronged because this hotel belongs to you."

"It's not important," Guo Xiaotie shook his short curly hair violently, "What about Dad, why didn't anyone tell me?"

"Your father went to visit your aunt. After paying off the money, the case has to be re-sentenced," Guo's mother said. It’s hard to go out for a trip, don’t disappoint, let you have a good time and talk about it.”

After Guo Xiaotie heard that, forget about the remorse, she clenched her fists, her joints turned white.Where was she half a month ago?She rode horses with the herdsmen on the prairie during the day, and made glutinous rice cakes and drank buttered tea with them in the tent at night. In the big backpack, there were saffron and cordyceps for her parents, as well as silver necklaces and rings for her aunt, and other rich things. Souvenirs, but now, how can I get them out?

Guo's mother poured her a glass of water, told her to breathe slowly, and asked her what she wanted to eat, but Guo Xiaotie shook her head and slammed her fist on the table.What annoyed her and puzzled her was that for such an honest person like her aunt, even if she dated the scumbag Arong, she had already broken up, so why did she embezzle public funds?

Just when I felt that the time was hard, there was the sound of a key opening the door.Father Guo opened the door and entered the house, and was a little surprised to see Guo Xiaotie sitting in the living room: "Little guy, you're back!" A little smile appeared on his pale face, and he turned sideways to let the person with his head bowed behind walk in.Guo Xiaotie jumped up: "Auntie!"

Guo's mother went up to her and asked, "Why are you back? Does it mean that you don't have to go to court if you lose money?" Guo Qianru remained silent, and Guo Xiaotie took Father Guo's bag, and saw that his hair was more than half gray, and his heart was filled with soreness.They asked several questions in a row, but Guo Qianru just didn't speak.

Father Guo became angry: "You have become a log now. Who borrowed your courage to embezzle public funds? Your parents are watching from the sky, and you are not afraid of them being sad when you do these stupid things? How can I have such a prodigal girl like you?"

"Okay, don't shout loudly at the door. Be careful that the neighbors hear it. Qianru has suffered a lot. Just come back, let's talk in the house." Guo's mother told him to shut up, and quickly let Guo Qianru into the house to rest.

"Sit down!" Papa Guo's anger boiled over, "Don't lose face and suffer, tell her to tell her why she was released, and throw my people to death!"

Guo Xiaotie looked at the dull aunt, she couldn't beat a boring aunt with three sticks, she really didn't understand, it was her fault to make mistakes, how could it be her turn?

Guo Qianru lowered her head, adjusted her black-rimmed glasses, did not dare to look at them, and said softly, "Originally, she would be sentenced after paying off the money, but now she has been released on bail because...it was found out that she was pregnant for more than two months. It's..."

Guo's mother's eyes darkened, and she took a few steps back. Guo Xiaotie quickly stepped forward to support her, and asked angrily: "Auntie, what's the matter with you, didn't you break up with that scum a long time ago, didn't he Forcing you? Don’t be stupid anymore, just say it!”

Guo Qianru was terrified, and said tongue-tiedly: "I was drunk that day. I went to take medicine afterwards, and for some reason... I don't want to embezzle public funds. Arong said he wanted money to repay the book, and I spent all my savings. I gave it to him, who knows that he loses again and again, and I have nowhere to go..."

"Crack!" Guo's father slapped her on the face: "You still have the face to say you're desperate?" Guo Qianru couldn't stand still, and slanted against the cabinet in the entrance, subconsciously covering her stomach, and Guo's mother also sighed and said : "Stop hitting her, her belly is big, it's useless if you hit her."

Guo Qianru covered her face, scolding the scumbag Arong in her heart.If it wasn't for raising money for her medical treatment, I wouldn't invest in cooperation with scumbags, and I wouldn't lose all my savings. If it wasn't for her, why would I pretend to be in a relationship with Ah Rong?The whole family was kept in the dark and didn't know, and I endured my nausea to get in touch with him, but even at the risk of going to jail and embezzling public funds to treat her injuries, it was all in vain, and I couldn't get her back from death. life.

"It doesn't matter if you're 35 or 53, I'll support you if you don't get married, but you can't ruin my family, you'll drive me to death sooner or later!" Father Guo stretched out his hand and wanted to hit her twice, Guo Qianru squatted down and shrank Tuan started to cry, Guo's father was so angry that he wanted to roll his eyes, Guo Xiaotie hurriedly supported him: "Dad, go to the house and rest for a while."

He helped Father Guo into the bedroom and sat down on the edge of the bed. Guo Xiaotie took out Baoxin Pills and gave him the medicine. After taking the medicine, he sighed and said, "Little guy, Dad is sorry for you."

Guo Xiaotie felt sore in his heart, and rubbed his heart for him: "Dad, don't get angry and ruin your body."

Guo's father said with tears in his eyes: "Dad is not capable, I'm sorry, you are not late because of the beauty chef competition, they will not let you participate, I see that you have been unhappy, I want you to be happy, and wait for you to relax and come back Afterwards, I will let you take over the restaurant, who knew that your aunt did not live up to her expectations, and the restaurant was originally for you, but I can't just watch her sit in prison for more than ten years, alas."

Guo Xiaotie shook his head resolutely: "It's right to help my aunt, I have nothing to do with it...but we're going to suffer this big loss? That scumbag cheated money and sex, so he just let him go?"

Guo's father was heartbroken and said helplessly: "I have inquired there, and the gambling money can't be recovered. That little boy didn't directly commit a crime. There is nothing to do with him. There have been many such things. Some kind of people just stare at the older women's finances. Your aunt was robbed this time; well, I’m also sorry for the old brothers in the restaurant, the new boss thinks our store is unlucky, there are no chefs and waiters left, all new recruits, it is estimated that the store will have to be redecorated.”

Guo Xiaotie also sighed unceasingly, knowing it well, settled down with Guo's father, and went back to the living room.Guo's mother gave Guo Qianru a change of clothes, and asked her what she wanted to eat, so don't wrong the child.

Guo Xiaotie stretched out his hand: "Auntie, give me the scumbag's phone address."

Guo Qianru asked suspiciously, "Why?"

"What else can I do? If I ask him for money, you will suffer this loss for nothing?"

"If not, he often changes places to live."

"Just say you want to sleep with him, trick him out, and I'll do the rest."

When Guo Qianru heard this, she covered her belly and her face became ugly. Guo's mother quickly comforted her and scolded Guo Xiaotie: "What nonsense, your aunt is pregnant now, she is not happy enough, why are you still hurting her wound? Sprinkle salt."

"I'm talking nonsense? In the past, there were people who wanted to buy our restaurant with money. My father refused to pay 300 million yuan. Now it's just to pay that scumbag's gambling debt. Isn't this a living robbery?" Guo Xiaotie said angrily. Seeing my aunt sitting with her head shrunk, she felt distressed and angry at the same time.

"Xiao Tie, just stop talking a few words, you have a bad temper with your father," Guo's mother was also annoyed, but the woman in front of her was a pregnant woman after all, she frowned and persuaded, "Don't talk about aunt, how are you? Go, leave a note and go out to be a backpacker, and look like a wild girl at this age."

"What's the matter with the wild girl, I didn't do anything bad." Guo Xiaotie stared wide-eyed and was unconvinced, "Good people don't live long, and evil people live for thousands of years. My aunt is going to jail for the scum, but the scum is happy outside, I think Is it my fault to ask for money?"

Guo Xiaotie had just said a few words, but Guo Qianru couldn't take it anymore. She pushed away the water glass and biscuits that Guo's mother handed over, and ran to the bathroom to retch.Guo's mother finally supported Guo Qianru to sit down, and she quickly persuaded her daughter.

"Xiao Tie, you speak without thinking. Your aunt is wrong, but she is pregnant now... And what did you mention 300 million, didn't you sign up for a beauty chef competition last time, and you threatened to get the No. 1's 300 million bonus, what's the result?" Guo's mother accused her and comforted Guo Qianru, making her feel better.

"I've already been shortlisted. I saved people on the way. When I was late, they wouldn't let me in. Otherwise, I would definitely get the ranking." Guo Xiaotie retorted very unconvinced.

"You are doing good deeds, but did the competition team show you some mercy? You sent someone to the hospital, did they say thank you? Did they give you anything? It's not that you want to pay back for saving people. , you're too single-minded, you don't care about the importance of things, picking up sesame seeds and throwing watermelons, you don't know where to go." Guo's mother babbled on and on, and Guo Qianru remained silent.

Guo Xiaotie stood alone, opening his mouth to refute but afraid of hurting his aunt, feeling extremely wronged.

That's right, if I didn't save that person at that time, I wouldn't miss the entrance time, maybe I could pass all the way, maybe I could get a place in the final... But at that time, I saw her face was covered in blood, and she fell on the ground. There is still one breath left under the wall, how can Guo Xiaotie refuse to save him?

Now in another living room in the city, Tao Lewei leaned barefoot on a stack of contemporary architecture albums.

Her long black hair hangs down her shoulders casually, and she is wrapped in a large peacock blue shawl. There are more than 100 fabrics in different colors, patterns and textures in her closet. Except for this one, she rarely wears other coats. She calls this "artist's style."

Tao Lewei is usually a woman with a smile on her lips, but now she lowers her head and frowns, troubled by sadness.

There is a drawing board and pen on the coffee table in front of her, and she is carefully recalling the appearance of her savior.That day she stopped by to see the opening site of the art exhibition, but she didn't expect the contractor to be sloppy and only made a facade, leaving the empty space behind in a mess, and the superficial paintings and steel bars were stacked high together, which was too dangerous.

Seeing that she could barely reach it, she wanted to climb up and take down the painting. Who knew it was an empty shelf, and when she stepped on it, the pile of things collapsed. Several steel bars rolled down, and one of them happened to hit her. head on.

Afterwards, her consciousness was a bit blurred. She only remembered that she was an energetic girl with fluffy curly hair, thick eyebrows and big eyes. She carried herself covered in blood all the way to the hospital. When she woke up, she was gone. The nurse said she was running away Let's go, as if there is something very important.

After she recovered a bit, she began to recall and draw silently. She remembered that face day and night, and the paintings were always seven or eight points similar.She asked her follower, Xiong Dacheng, to go outside to inquire, but after so many days, there was no news at all, as if she had disappeared out of thin air. Where is she?

Tao Lewei felt a little dizzy thinking about it, and touched the beauty tip above her forehead from time to time, as if this had become an action in her subconscious mind.

The nanny Xiao Liu called for dinner.She got up and sat down at the dining table, celery lily, stir-fried cauliflower, shrimp tofu soup, so light, very good, anyway, she never pays attention to food.

"What are you eating today? I'm so hungry." A fat old man with a white beard in a black gown bounced out of the room, glanced at the dishes on the table, and immediately changed his face, "I'm a vegetarian again, hello Rabbit, old man, birds are coming out of my mouth, Xiao Liu is here."

Xiao Liu came trotting all the way, facing his staring eyes, she said sternly: "It is strictly in accordance with the doctor's orders, the eldest lady has not fully recovered, and she can't eat soy sauce, greasy, and big meat. Master Tao, your doctor also recommends a light diet."

"What does he know, if he is a vegetarian every day, am I still a gourmet? Have you ever seen a gourmet eat radishes, potatoes and Chinese cabbage all day long?" Master Tao retorted unconvinced, his white beard was up and down, and Xiao Liu shrank his head and smiled apologetically.

"Grandpa, sit down and eat, the food is getting cold." Tao Lewei said with a smile, and put the tissue next to his bowl.

"Such a vegetarian thing, there is no oil or water at all. If it wasn't for being with you, I wouldn't eat this rabbit dish." Master Tao angrily picked up his rice bowl to pick up the rice, and put it down after two mouthfuls Chopsticks, means no appetite.

Tao Lewei smiled gently and said, "Grandpa, help me see if the wound has healed?"

Master Tao stretched out his hand to touch her head, and moved closer to her hair to take a closer look, with a happy expression on his face: "Look, how well she has recovered, there is no scar left, and she is still a beautiful beauty. "

Tao Lewei smiled gratifiedly: "It's thanks to the doctor, and Xiao Liu eats a light diet every day, otherwise he wouldn't heal so quickly, leaving a scar, it would be so ugly," said with a spoonful of celery Lily went to Master Tao's bowl, "Grandpa, you have to listen to the doctor's advice. If your high indicators come down in the next physical examination, let's go out and eat something else together."

Master Tao got excited when he heard this, Xilihulu took a few mouthfuls of food, and muttered, "Well, is there any news about the savior you have been asking Dacheng to inquire about?"

Tao Lewei shook her head lightly: "Not yet, I must find her. She carried me to the hospital and left without leaving a name. The nurses said she left in a hurry and didn't leave any information. I went to see her." The hospital's surveillance records didn't capture the face." She tried to think about it again, but no matter how much she thought about it, she only had that only impression.

"Dacheng's hands and feet are so inflexible, Weiwei's paintings are so vivid, even if you take the paintings to the road and ask one by one, you should be famous." Master Tao knocked on the dishes and said, "Our Tao family is the most moral. , How many people are there who stand up for righteousness these days? You can’t let her be an unsung hero. When I find her, I will give her a calligraphy and painting, which is also worth a hundred thousand.”

Tao Lewei nodded in agreement, when the doorbell rang hurriedly, Xiao Liu hurried to open the door, and the little fat man Xiong Dacheng ran in triumphantly, yelling: "Master Tao, sister Weiwei, guess what, benefactor I found it!"

Tao Lewei was overjoyed, she stood up abruptly, her eyes flashed with excitement, she restrained herself and told him to speak quickly.Xiong Dacheng was very proud, sat down and wanted to drink water and eat at the same time, Master Tao was blowing his beard and staring so anxiously that he wanted to shave him, so he stopped making trouble and talked.

"Sister Weiwei, what a coincidence. The beauty who saved you is Guo Xiaotie. It's a very arrogant name for a girl. Didn't the master used to be the honorary principal of the High School Attached to Normal University? This Guo Xiaotie was in the High School Attached to Normal University before. She works in the student cafeteria, she is a female cook,

It's a pity that I quit my job some time ago, and told me that it was easy to find. Thanks to my supernatural powers, I found out that her family opened a restaurant called 369 Home Cooking. You can see the address and got it, this time it must be right! "

After Xiong Dacheng finished speaking happily, Xiao Pang patted his chest with his hands to express that it was absolutely reliable. After Tao Lewei took the address and read it, she smiled and immediately decided to buy gifts and visit at the door tomorrow weekend.Master Tao also beamed with joy, and regarded Xiong Dacheng as the number one hero, and was eager to pick a pair of valuable calligraphy and paintings as a big gift.
