Chapter 8

Since Fang Bai came back, order and rules seemed to have been restored in the dormitory. Old Su and Zhigang were also busy with Fang Bai for the last two days, all of which were trivial matters. Finally, they cleaned the classroom and had breakfast and lunch in the cafeteria for the last time.

Watching the students go their separate ways, they realize that their college life is truly over.

Lao Su and Zhigang were both delayed and went back without rushing to go back, and they were also attached to this life and were reluctant to leave.

At this time, all of them had obtained their graduation certificates, and the train tickets for several people to return home were also bought. Lin Xue came from home, and the four of them were preparing to find a place to have a drink at night. Zhigang was about to spend a penny of his money before going back.

In the end, I went to the restaurant in Xiao Anhui for three to one, but Fang Bai absolutely did not want to go. Fang Bai forced himself to veto the restaurant because he had to leave the house because he was missing the boss's wife's money last time, and finally went to Xiaochuan Restaurant.

This is their real base when they are old, and they are also very familiar with their boss Ogawa. It is almost the end of July, and all the students have been exposed. The business in Ogawa's store is very light.

He said he was called Ogawa, but he was actually a local in his thirties and looked like an ordinary local.

When my brothers came, there was no business in the store and the dishes were very fast.

Fang Bai and the others, who had been drinking for three rounds, felt that they could not finish eating too much, and then they found that they had not ordered several dishes themselves.

At this time, Xiaochuan walked over with two bottles of white wine and two packs of cigarettes, and put the cigarettes and wine on the table.

Don’t watch it, guys, I added these dishes, so I can just give it a try.Come and drink something white, it’s so white.

Xiaochuan poured the wine on several people. After everyone touched it, they had a drink first. Xiaochuan took apart a cigarette and gave each person a piece of it, asking them to eat and drink more.

You are the first time I have been to college to graduate from college. I still remember the first time you came to have dinner at that time. The loudest voices were heard, and the last box of beer was poured.

Ha ha ha ha…………

Several people burst into laughter for a while, and Fang Bai was about to burst into tears.

That day I still remember that we vomited a lot in your store. The next day I brought them to apologize, and I almost got knocked down by a box of beer!

Xiao Fang is the worst. He said that he would help me clean up. You don’t think about whether I can let you vomit dirty things and stay in the store overnight? Will I do business the next day?

After another laugh, Fang Bai stood up and punished himself for a drink to apologize to Boss Ogawa.

Later, my brothers were good, and they always came to take care of my business. Today I would like to thank everyone.

Ogawa also stood up and had a drink with them.

Brother Chuan, to be honest, we are also looking forward to your cheapness. After a long time, we always throw cigarettes or get two bottles of beer when we come. We are all poor students and never want to take care of us. Speaking of which, you should take care of us more.

Fang Bai said this very carefully and openly. He looked at Xiaochuan all the people here, thinking about the countless wines he had drunk here in the past four years, and was a little reluctant to leave this warm little restaurant and the enthusiastic boss Xiaochuan in front of him.

Hold!Boss, why are you inciting love?The same goes for the dinner that day, and it is here again today.

Lao Su felt really uncomfortable, so he picked up the wine glass in front of him and stood up, and said to Boss Xiaochuan: Brother Chuan, if I come back in the future, I will still have dinner with you, eating the spicy chicken and Mapo tofu you made. You are not allowed to discount me at that time, and you have to slaughter me hard, is that okay?

OK, why can't it be? I'll give you a big discount then, hahaha.

The two of them cried hard.

After they finished drinking, Fang Bai and the others took turns to tribute to Boss Xiaochuan.

The two bottles of white wine were empty. Fang Bai handed him a bottle of beer, and Xiaochuan took it and took a sip to rinse his mouth.

Now, you guys have all drunken weight, especially Xiao Fang and Lin Xue. They drank me last time, and I was so scary.Let’s try this bacon. This time the bacon was made by someone else, and it’s much better than myself.

After eating a few chopsticks, Zhigang offered a cigarette to Okawa. After lighting it, he said: Brother Chuan, I have always had a question in my heart, and I don’t know whether it should be said or not.

Haha, do you still have any questions in your heart?Let me tell you, let me tell you, I am happy that all my questions will be solved.

Then I'll talk about Ah, your cooking skills can actually show that your master is famous.

Yo roar!Can you see this too?Tell me how I can see it.

Once on Singles' Day, I was drunk too much and felt uncomfortable. I suddenly wanted to eat a dish. As soon as I said, you made it. Although my father opened a factory, my grandfather is an authentic cooking skill that I learned from his master. I have eaten this dish of famous chefs in all corners of the country.

You are talking about yam, I remember this. To be honest, I have made this dish once for you since I opened this restaurant. When I made it that time, my hands were a little raw. You kid really said that I broke it after I didn’t pull it to the top of the table.

Brother Chuan, I'm sorry, I really drank too much that day and talked nonsense.My question is actually, with your skills, how could you open such a small restaurant here? Logically speaking, you can earn more than you can cook and drink in the countryside like my grandfather.

Hahaha, it turns out that you are hiding here and giving me a moment, okay!This is all I said today. Each of you blows a bottle, and I will tell you.

Brother Chuan, it’s okay for us to blow a bottle, but what if we drink the wine and you say it makes us dissatisfied?

Don't talk nonsense and blow it!Today I will put my words here. If you are not satisfied after hearing this, I will blow four bottles back to you.

Soon four empty wine bottles were placed on the table, and Xiaochuan slowly lit a cigarette and took two puffs, then opened the conversation.

By the way, my family is also a Sichuan-style chef family, but it is just that kind of insignificant and not considered a famous family.I didn't learn craftsmanship at the beginning, and I was also going to school. Unfortunately, I am not like you, but I am not a good source of study.After going to junior high school, I couldn’t even get into high school, so I had to choose a vocational school. Since that’s the case, it’s better to learn to be a chef and go to a nutrition school.Since I was a child, I naturally had a higher understanding than other classmates who were busy with life. I was also lucky. I met a famous teacher in school.

Xiaochuan drank all the beer in his hand, then lit a cigarette and continued: The teacher is a chef of Shandong cuisine. Shandong cuisine is the only northern cuisine of the four major cuisines, and he learned the skills in the imperial capital.Seeing that I have good talent, I was very attentive when teaching me and often prescribed small sips for me. He taught me that the silk-pulled yam was taught by him.At that time, I had a hard time. I had to learn Sichuan cuisine with me when I got home. After three years of hard work, I learned a good craft.

Fang Bai opened another bottle of wine and handed it to Xiaochuan and said: Later, you opened this small restaurant here?

That was still early, and later I went to a restaurant run by a boss from another place to work as an apprentice. In fact, it was my family that allowed me to practice in society for a period of time, temper my skills, learn the rules of the kitchen and learn how to be a human being.I was a little unhappy at that time, but as soon as I started working, I knew that what I learned in school was actually not the same as in the restaurant. After working for half a year, I found that I actually had to learn a lot of things. The chef there met my family, and finally when he thought I could stand alone, I started to do it easily.

Speaking of this, Xiaochuan turned his head and looked at the neon sign of the little Anhui family not far away from him. He drank half a bottle of beer in one breath.

Later, a group of young waiters came to the store. At that time, I was not even twenty years old and didn't know what to say when I saw a girl. But there was a girl who looked so pretty. After seeing her, I looked like she was lost. I was not tall, so I didn't take the initiative to say a word to her. Every time she took the initiative to talk to me, I was stupid.I worked there for another year and my relationship with her was an ordinary colleague. But one day I heard from other waiters that the little girl had a relationship with the boss and that I didn't believe that she would do this. Until one day she quit and said that she was kept outside by the boss, I believed it.I quit the next day. My father, who had long wanted me to resign, found someone to ask me to work in a star hotel. The environment is good and I can use my full ability. After working for a few years, I finally brought that high hat.But I haven't had a girlfriend. Maybe I'm too busy with work, maybe I'm always thinking about that girl...

Ogawa drank the beer in his hand in one go.

Later, I went to the blind date arranged by my home and got married.Once, by chance, I found that the girl was in a restaurant here. After seeing me, she actually remembered me. I drank too much in her restaurant that day.The next day I decided to quit and open this hotel here, and then I kept driving it.

After hearing this, Fang Bai and the others suddenly realized that this Brother Ogawa opened a small restaurant here for the partner he had a crush on. His skills and a bright future could not beat the word "love".

Then...Who is that girl?

Brother Ogawa smiled when he heard Lao Su's words and dispersed a cigarette for each of them.

It’s getting late today, so you can drink less. You have to catch the train tomorrow and go back early to rest.

When she left, Xiaochuan refused to charge them money. She watched the four good brothers sing unscrupulously and walked towards the back door of the school. Xiaochuan leaned against the door of his own store, smoked a cigarette and smiled as he watched the sign of the restaurant that had turned off the lights in the small Anhui restaurant, recalling all the things he had experienced in his youth...

Fang Bai, who was lying on his bed at night, shook his fan and thought about what Xiaochuan said. He felt that the girl Brother Xiaochuan said must be Sister Li, and his age and experience were comparable, but he couldn't tell it straight on the spot.

Unexpectedly, Sister Li also had a very good man who had been in love with her. She opened a Xiaochuan restaurant here for her. When thinking about her and Sister Li's affairs, Fang Bai felt a little uncomfortable and guilty. He felt as if he had done something that he had done to Xiaochuan.

With the feeling of alcohol rising, Fang Bai finally fell asleep unsustainably and slept in the last sleep of his college years in this dormitory.

Finally, it was time to go their separate ways. As usual, Lin Xue sent them three to the station. When they parted, the four roommates hugged each other for a long time. When they let go, their eyes turned red. Lin Xue, alone outside, watched the three of them walk into the station together with melancholy.

Soon before he walked far, Lao Su separated from Fang Bai and the others. He took another train to the imperial capital. Fang Bai and Zhigang took the same train in the same direction. They were not in the same waiting hall. After saying goodbye for a while, they parted again.

Zhigang didn't spend money yesterday, so today I bought a lot of food and drink with Fang Bai on the way. Fang Bai is very short of money now, and he is not polite with Zhigang. Zhigang also bought a few cans of beer and the two of them were very comfortable eating and drinking on the train.

Boss, I will come to you for at most half a year when I go back. My dad said it would be fine if he had a training experience. Then I will be with you.

Come on, come on, and you can take care of me when I get together. Then I will take you to have fun with us.

Let me introduce a girl to meet me, and I will try to bring my wife from a big city back.

This is fine, I just have to cover it. I'm afraid that you will be sent to the bridal chamber by your mother when you go back today.

This is really possible, I'm quite worried about this.Or I won’t go back directly, and we will get off the bus together when we arrive at the station.

Don’t, you and I are going out to beg for food together now, and maybe you will be sent back as a blind revelation within a few days.Besides, I'm afraid that your dad will come here to beat me.

Then... I had to make a long-term plan.

It’s better to get married early, and do you get married and start a business?

Fang Bai patted his shoulder, and the two of them chatted all the way, and before they knew it, they almost arrived at Jingzhou, the city where Fang Bai lived.

Fang Bai just got off the car with his bag on his back when he heard Zhigang stick his head out of the window and wave his hand to shout: Boss... Boss!See you in half a year!

Fang Bai hurried over and reached out to hold him.

What if you get married?

I thought about it, at worst, I can bring my wife with me.

Hey!You boy, okay, I'll wait for you...

Seeing the train completely disappearing into the distance, Fang Bai left the platform and was really back this time.

After arriving at home, I gave my graduation certificate to Bai Shuangyan who was resting at home today. Bai Shuangyan was very happy and stopped cooking dinner. She took Fang Bai to a time-honored restaurant for snacks.

Although Changxing Building is called a restaurant, it is actually a special place for snacks on the first floor lobby, and there are lobbys and private rooms on the second floor where you can order food.

Bai Shuangyan and his son found a seat on the first floor, ordered variegated buns and two bowls of dumpling noodles, and Bai Shuangyan added another dish of meat and dried shredded shreds.

Fang Bai hasn't been here for a long time. This state-owned restaurant with a century-old history seems to have no impact on the rapid development outside. Fang Bai was taken to shopping by his mother when he was a child. When he was tired of shopping, he came here to eat the cheapest plate of dumplings and sometimes he would eat some buns and wontons.

Fang Bai can still recognize that the waiters here are still the same as before. However, they were once young and beautiful, and they had already been carved on their faces by the years. The development of society has changed dramatically. The heavenly dynasty has already changed. Only after queuing up here and paying the money, they will still receive a few bamboo chips made of bamboo, which are engraved with symbols that Fang Bai would never understand, and then handed them to the window to wait for it to be done inside. The waiter called you to get it yourself.

After Fang Bai took two cold cuts and put them down, he moved his chopsticks with his head in his mouth. He was a little listless and slowly carried the dried silk into his mouth. Bai Shuangyan, who had long seen that the snacks were hidden in his heart, asked: What's wrong?Are you having a conflict with your girlfriend?

It's not a question of staying or leaving, but in fact, I have no conflict with her.

This mother has nothing to say, you know the situation yourself, time...it will be better if you have a long time.

Mom, I don’t want to break up with her, nor did I break up.Now it's just separated...

Silly kid, the reason why you separated is caused by reality. If you want to be with her, you need to change it from reality. Change the reality can only depend on your own efforts. I have inquired in the past two days. The company your classmate introduced you to the job is actually very good. If you work hard, you will have a future in the future.

I think so now. Anyway, I have come back. I will work hard and do some career. At that time, all problems may be solved.

Fang Bai did not dare to mention the 500,000 yuan bride price. He heard the waiter's greeting and hurriedly sent two bowls of dumpling noodles. This kind of noodles may be available in just a few places across the country. The red soup in the blue and white bowls wrapped in a lump of fine white noodles in the middle, which was neatly tidy. Next to the noodles were seven or eight small wontons with tight skin and flesh, and a few green onion leaves were floating on them.

His nose was suddenly filled with a strange fragrance, thick, sweet and warm.

At this time, Fang Bai seemed to be thrown away all his worries by his wide appetite. He first picked up a chopstick of fine noodles, slipped in, and chewed a few soft and hard strips. The noodles in this area had more alkali than in other places, so that they could have this special choking taste.

I picked up a wonton and put it in my mouth. I nibbled the skin and immediately felt fresh and fragrant. The whiteness was extremely satisfied.

A basket of variegated buns was brought to the table by the waiter. The steaming steamer was filled with meat buns, three-die buns, sesame rape buns, seaweed, steamed meat dumplings and a thousand-layer oil cake.

The noodles with meat buns are soft and tough, tender and delicious; the three-dine buns are tasteful and interesting; the vegetable buns are green in color, sweet and salty, and fresh and delicious; the jade roasted buns are shaped like pomegranates, with a bottom like money and a skin as thin as paper; the steamed dumplings are like crescents, with a variety of braised flavors and attractive flavors; the thousand-layer oil cake is diamond-shaped, hibiscus color, translucent, sugar and oil intersect, soft and tender, sweet and tasty.

Fang Bai, who had enjoyed this meal and satisfied his appetite, finally didn't have that much anxiety. Yes, he finally realized that his emotions were actually anxiety and lack of confidence and uneasiness about the uncertainty of the future. There was no clear direction of effort and life goals in reality and emotions.

When he got home, Fang Bai rode the car quickly with Bai Shuangyan on the back seat of the bicycle. Bai Shuangyan didn't mind Fang Bai riding fast at all. He put one hand around his son's strong waist and the other hand around his skirt.

The wind blew up her hair, and the smell of sweat and hormones from her son made her a little dazzled. She suddenly wondered if others would think that her son was carrying her girlfriend on a bicycle. Bai Shuangyan's face was flushed by her riding a ridiculous thought.

Fang Bai waited at home for two days to make the progress of his ID card. In the morning, he went to play basketball with Jiang Lin, and in the afternoon, the two of them stayed in the Internet cafe.

Jiang Lin told him that day his sister-in-law went on a business trip after the meeting. She came back and scolded him, but it was fine, so she was waiting for them to go through the procedures together.

Fang Bai was completely relieved after hearing this news and had been having a lot of relaxation these days.

The police station was very punctual. Fang Bai asked Jiang Lin to go through the entry procedures the next day. Jiang Lin might have thought he was too indulgent during this period, so he agreed readily. As usual, Fang Bai rode his bicycle to take Jiang Lin to the company the next day.

This time, Jiang Yiàn was very free, so he asked the two to sit in their office and asked them to wait for them to fill out the form and take their materials and documents to copy them.

Jiang Lin, I see if you can delay any more this time.

My sister-in-law, I didn’t want to delay. Last time I was not good, but this time I really came to work honestly.

You can be loyal, but I am not unreasonable. What's wrong?

Jiang Yiànru came back soon when she saw that the personnel affairs were in trouble and asked at her.

Mr. Jiang is like this. Fang Bai’s ID card is Fang Yunbai, but his graduation certificate is Fang Bai, and his own form is written by Fang Bai. I look at the ID photo and he is also himself. You see...

After reading it, Jiang Yànru shook the ID card in his hand at Fang Bai. Fang Bai had known it was broken for a long time, so why did he forget this? This form can be refilled, but what should I do if I have this graduation certificate?

Fang Bai explained his thoughts and said his situation in full without hiding anything.

After saying that, all the three people present scratched their heads. Jiang Lin didn't understand what was going on, just knowing that Fang Bai had changed his name recently.

Renshi and Jiang Yiànru understood it. Renshi looked at Jiang Yiànru with helpless look and asked: Mr. Jiang, why don’t you handle the procedures for Jiang Lin first?

You go, I'll tell them.

Jiang Lin was about to stand up when he saw the personnel matters and just wanted to stand up when Jiang Yiànru stopped him with his eyes.

My sister-in-law...

In the company, I am called Mr. Jiang.

Then... Mr. Jiang, didn’t he agree, why did he change his mind?

Who said that he had changed his mind? Do we want Fang Bai?Fang Bai himself said just now that this situation in personnel and affairs is not allowed to be hired. I am not a temporary worker here and I can leave after working for a few days.I think this is how Fang Bai, you should do this yourself. Either you change the graduation certificate name or the ID card name. I guess it’s better to change the graduation certificate name. Just find someone at school. It’s very difficult to change the ID card name.

Little...No, Mr. Jiang!Fang Bai's school is in another place, and it will take several days to go back and forth, so it takes time to change his graduation certificate. Isn't it impossible to have a seat when he comes back?

This is really no place, and he probably can't do it within two or three days.

That won't work. If this is the case, I won't do it anymore. I have agreed to something before, so I can't change my mind.

Fang Bai quickly pressed and held Jiang Lin who was about to leave.

Hey hey hey, I said let it go. I really can’t blame the company and Mr. Jiang for this matter. It was me who delayed the matter. Last time I had already made me feel very embarrassed. Mr. Jiang has been waiting for so long, so you should join the job first, otherwise I really feel sorry for you.

Jiang Yiànru had no choice but to do with his nephew, who made him the only seed of the Jiang family?

Seeing that Fang Bai is okay, his situation is rare, but there is no way, so he thought about it and said: Let's do this, this time... there is really no way. I applied for employment indicators from the head office, and it's unreasonable to delay the employment indicators. Besides, if you wait like this, the indicators will be taken back.

Then...this is it...

You sit down!After listening to me, the company equipped me with a car before. I have been driving myself and didn’t want to hire a driver. However, the company has this position. I have been a little tired of driving recently. This position can be left to Fang Bai.

Well...that's thank you Mr. Jiang, but I can't drive.

If you can't open, go to study. Anyway, I agreed to Jiang Lin today. There are still a few days to wait for the position of assistant, but I think you will definitely not have time. I will leave the driver's position for you. The driver's treatment is also good, and it is higher than that of ordinary staff. There are additional subsidies. When you get your driver's license, come and join the job directly.

Xiao...Mr. Jiang, I introduced that people are here to do work, not to be a driver for you.

This is nothing, do you have a second position? When Fang Bai performs well for a while and has other positions available, as long as he has no problem, I will give him a chance to try it.

Jiang Yànru reluctantly convinced Jiang Lin. Seeing that the other person had said very well, Fang Bai was very grateful to Mr. Jiang. No matter what, he always gave him enough face. Even if he didn't work as the driver, he would owe her a favor in the future.

Fang Bai rode his bike back, and this time he said to his mother in advance, saving her mother from being poured with cold water at home like she did last time.

Bai Shuangyan was also upset after hearing this. She had known that she would have asked Fang Bai to find a job first and then move her household registration, so she couldn't help but call and scold Lao Fang again.

Bai Shuangyan knew that her son was in a bad mood, so she bought a lot of vegetables after get off work and went back to make them for her son to soothe Fang Bai's hit heart.

Fang Bai did not tell his mother that he could do something about a driver in the future. Instead, he went out to check the registration points of several nearby driving schools in the afternoon and asked about the driving market. It was basically more than 4,000 yuan. The high price made Fang Bai a little shocked, and it was almost up to his tuition for one semester.

Fang Bai couldn't tell his mother about this. He thought that since he had graduated, it would be fine to have a job and eat for free at home. It would be impossible to ask his mother for such a big sum of money.

After returning home early, Fang Bai felt uncomfortable and ran to the rooftop rooftop to smoke a few cigarettes. When he was a child, he could see a long distance when he came up. Now he is almost surrounded by the surrounding high-rise buildings. He can only see a white light in the distance through the cracks between the high-rise buildings. After smoking the last cigarette in the cigarette box, Fang Bai sat on the roof and looked at the direction of his mother coming back from get off work...
