"Come, come, try the chicken pot in my shop!"
Wu Di came out of the kitchen carrying a casserole.
"Xiao Shuai, put that mat up quickly."
After putting the casserole in place, Wu Di smiled, took off his apron, wiped his hands, dragged over a chair and sat in front of the two of them.
"Brother, let me tell you, the taste of my chicken pot is definitely the best in the whole Yunhai area. If you ask around, you will find that the ingredients used are absolutely the best."
“As for the chicken, all I use are authentic domestic roosters.”
"I'll give you two a good rest tonight."
After saying that, he stood up and took out a carton of beer from the refrigerator behind him.
"Old Chen, would you like an iced drink? Do you want it at room temperature?"
Chen Fan took the beer bottle with a smile and poured himself a glass.
As night falls, the surrounding night markets gradually become lively.
Crowds gathered and there was a lot of noise everywhere.
"Come on, brothers, let's have a drink first."
The three of them clinked their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.
Wu Di urged with chopsticks in hand: "Hurry! Try it, try the chicken and see how it tastes."
Ma Xiaoshuai picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it on the plate, smiling bitterly.
"Brother Di, why didn't you tell us that you opened a store before?"
Wu Di chuckled and said, "I've been too busy lately."
"After the divorce, I took Zhou Na back home. We rested there for a few days, and then came back to open this store."
Wu Di pointed across the street.
"That's Zhou Na's clinic. Although it's not big, the business is pretty good every day. At least it's not hot."
"Old Chen, do you still remember the 100,000 yuan you lent me? 100,000 yuan allowed me to buy the house Zhou Na rented, and with the remaining tens of thousands, I bought this store."
"I help out at the clinic during the day, and I come here to run a husband-and-wife shop at night."
"I watch over her every day, and I think she's living a beautiful life."
Chen Fan picked up his wine glass and clinked it with Wu Di.
"To be honest, you've changed so much in just over a month that we both barely recognize you."
Wu Di smiled proudly and raised his hand to touch his bald head.
"There's a saying, say goodbye to the past and start over."
"I'm turning over a new leaf and finding myself again."
"I used to only care about my image and felt that my life was too hypocritical."
"Nowadays, although I'm a little busy and tired every day and don't have time to pay attention to my image, I think it's pretty good. At least I live a comfortable life."
"By the way, look at my belly. Has it gotten smaller? I've lost eight pounds in a month."
"It's no use sitting in an office all day. I need to exercise more."
Ma Xiaoshuai smiled bitterly: "Have you thought about it?"
Wu Di shook his head and then nodded.
"Honestly, I've never been more lucid."
“People, the purpose of life is to figure out what you want.”
"Some people want power, some want wealth, some want a life of luxury, beautiful women and cars... But I don't want anything now. I just want to be an ordinary person and live my life well."
At this time, Zhou Na, who had just got off work, changed her clothes and came over from across the street.
Wu Di smiled and waved.
"Zhou Na, go to the night market and buy us some skewers."
"good."
Seeing the other person turn around and walk towards the night market, Wu Di pointed at him proudly.
"Zhou Na is three years older than me. She's kind-hearted, caring, and not vain. She's a woman who knows how to live."
"To be honest, I got together with her in the beginning simply because I was mad at my ex-wife."
"But after spending time together, I realized that Zhou Na is a really good woman."
"She has a good temper and is caring. Most importantly, she relies on me! She sees me as her support and pillar of support. I feel like I must have been incredibly lucky in my previous life to marry her."
"I brought her home a while ago. On the first day, she helped my mom with housework and cooking. She made my mom very happy."
"We got our marriage certificate right after we came back from our hometown."
Ma Xiaoshuai was stunned. "Are you two married?"
"yes."
Chen Fan asked, "Getting married is such a big deal, why didn't you notify us? At least hold a proper wedding so that everyone can have fun with you."
Wu Di smiled and waved his hand.
"No. We're not here anymore."
"Zhou Na said she doesn't want to have a wedding. Getting married would just be a hassle for herself and her friends."
"With a husband like this, I might as well save up some money and go traveling on my own for the next two years."
"After we got married, she gave me all her money to manage. I even asked her if she was afraid I would cheat her and use the money to find another woman. Guess what she said."
"She said, just look for one. She doesn't have much saved anyway, and it's worth using the money to see a man clearly."
"Of course, Zhou Na told me privately that she chose me because she liked me as a person, not because of my appearance or social status."
"As long as I am willing to marry her and live a good life, she will never leave me."
Wu Di grabbed the wine glass and took a sip, then smiled bitterly.
"How can I bear to let down a woman like this?"
At this time, Zhou Na came back with a bag of barbecue skewers and put them on the table for the three of them.
Wu Di introduced them with a smile: "These two are my college roommates, good buddies."
Zhou Na smiled a little embarrassedly.
"Hello."
Ma Xiaoshuai then said, "Hello, sister-in-law. Would you like to sit down and have something to eat together?"
Wu Di also said: "Sit down and eat together. We are not outsiders."
Zhou Na quickly waved her hand and said, "You guys eat first, I'll go cook you another dish."
After saying that, he walked towards the kitchen.
Chen Fan chuckled.
"Just by looking at her face, I can tell she's a woman who knows how to live. Brother Di, you're lucky."
Wu Di immediately became proud: "Look. After so much bad luck, it's time for my luck to turn around."
Chen Fan thought for a moment and asked, "Since we've got the marriage certificate, let's live a good life."
"We didn't even celebrate for you properly. Would you consider coming to work at the group?"
"I can arrange a position for you."
Ma Xiaoshuai put down his wine glass, looked at Wu Di, and waited for his answer.
Wu Di smiled and picked up a skewer and tasted it.
"Old Chen, if you had said that two days ago and invited me, I would have dropped everything and joined the group to hang out with you guys."
"But now, I just want to thank you for your kindness."
"Although our life is a little hard now, I am very happy. Really, I have never been so peaceful inside."
"A few days ago, I was thinking too much and getting caught up in too many things."
"Now that I've met Zhou Na, she's helped me cut off all the tangles and vines on my body, and I've become more open-minded."
"Life is nothing more than eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, having a bed to sleep on and a piece of land after death. What else is there to ask for?"
"Thank you for your kindness, Lao Chen. I really like my life now."
"As long as you two don't look down on having an old classmate like me in the future, that's all."
"Of course, I'm not stupid, bro. If I really run into any difficulties and need to make a request to you two, I will definitely not be polite."
Hearing this, Chen Fan smiled.
Lift up your glass.
"Okay, I respect your choice."
"Then I wish you two a happy wedding."
