From Siheyuan to Hong Kong Island Tycoon

If what Wang Tianfeng said was true, then Nan Yi's salary would be nearly 300 yuan per month, which was simply unimaginable to Nan Yi.

Although wages and prices in Beijing have increased compared to the 1960s, people don't seem to care much because the increase is small.

Nan Yi still felt that he should not accept gifts without merit, and Wang Tianfeng gave him too much.

Wang Tianfeng said: "Nan Yi, since I pay you so much, I must have my reasons, so don't refuse anymore."

"You also know the restaurant business. If there are a lot of people, I'm afraid you'll be so busy that you'll be exhausted."

Sha Zhu also advised: "Nan Yi, you are a grown man, why are you so slow?"

Finally, Nan Yi agreed and said, "Tianfeng, I won't say thank you anymore. Just wait and see from now on."

"Next Monday I will go to Liu Feng's office to submit my resignation application, and then I will go with you when the hotel is being renovated."

Wang Tianfeng: "Nan Yi, then let’s make it a deal."

"By the way, Nan Yi, you and Sha Zhu must have a lot of fellow apprentices, right?"

"If they are willing to work in the hotel, I will give them satisfactory salary and benefits."

Sha Zhu and Nan Yi both replied with a smile: "We will go find those fellow brothers in the next few days, I believe they will agree."

In the evening, Sha Zhu and Nan Yi pushed their bicycles back home together. Along the way, they were discussing various issues about the dishes.

The two became more and more excited as they talked, and finally they just went to Nan Yi's house to drink and chat.

When Liang Ladi learned that Nan Yi was going to resign, she was the first one to disagree.

Liang Ladi said anxiously: "Nan Yi, the job in the kitchen of the steel rolling mill is a stable job."

"You've only had a few days of comfortable life and you want to quit."

"Do you know how hard it is to find a job outside these days? If you quit, what do you think will happen to our family in the future?"

"Is it all just relying on my salary?"

Nan Yi was about to open his mouth to refute, but Sha Zhu said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, Nan Yi is not the only one who resigned. I will resign along with Nan Yi."

Liang Ladi shouted angrily: "You're crazy, you're all crazy, even you, Shazhu, are crazy with Nan Yi."

Nan Yi said, "Wife, please stop arguing. Do you know how much Wang Tianfeng pays me?"

Liang Ladi said: "How much can it be? Even if it's a hundred dollars, I still think this matter is not stable. Besides, do you think he will give you a hundred dollars?"

Nan Yi: "Can you please stop being so short-sighted? Am I really that unreliable in your eyes?"

"If I had known earlier, I would have brought you to meet Wang Tianfeng during dinner. You are so superficial."

Sha Zhu was explaining to Liang Ladi, and Liang Ladi asked half-doubtfully, "Nan Yi, Zhuzi, are you telling the truth?"

"Wang Tianfeng really agreed to pay Nan Yi nearly three hundred yuan a month?"

Sha Zhu replied with a smile: "How can it be false? Even if you don't know Wang Tianfeng, you should be able to trust me, right?"

"When did I, Shazhu, ever cheat on you two?"

"Sister-in-law, if you are really worried, I will resign first as an example, and then you can take a look at it later."

Nan Yi made a prompt decision and said: "Just because Wang Tianfeng is willing to teach me cooking skills sincerely, I believe in his character. He will never lie to me."

Nan Yi had already made the decision, so Liang Ladi couldn't say anything more.

At Qin Huairu's home in the Central Courtyard, Yi Zhonghai was happily eating white flour dumplings and drinking hot dumpling soup.

The dumplings are made with pork and cabbage. Although there is not much pork, you can still taste the meaty flavor.

Ever since Yi Zhonghai moved into the Jia family's home, the quality of the family's food has improved dramatically. Although it is not as good as the food at Sha Zhu's house, it is better than almost everyone else in the compound.

Even Xu Damao's family in the backyard cannot compare to theirs. Jia Zhang has gained a lot of weight during this period and has almost become the fat woman she used to be.

Looking at the white flour dumplings on the table, Qin Huairu immediately thought of her son Banggeng.

Banggeng’s favorite food used to be white flour dumplings, but unfortunately he can’t eat them now.

It is said that mother and child are connected by heart. Although Qin Huairu had long given up on Bang Geng in her heart, she still thought of him from time to time.

When Banggeng first joined the company a few years ago, Qin Huairu would bring some food to visit him during the holidays."

"But in Banggeng's heart, he had already hated Qin Huairu and refused to meet with her every time. In the end, Qin Huairu had no choice but to give up visiting Banggeng.

Huaihua, who was standing aside, looked at Qin Huairu and seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, but she did not intend to speak to comfort Qin Huairu.

Life at home is good now, and Huaihua doesn't want to break this wonderful atmosphere because of Banggeng.

Jia Zhang waved her hands in front of Qin Huairu and said, "Huairu, eat quickly. These dumplings are freshly out of the pot. They will not taste good if they get cold."

After hearing Jia Zhang's reminder, Qin Huairu finally reacted and continued eating dumplings.

While eating, Qin Huairu said to Yi Zhonghai: "Uncle, I have something to say that has been on my mind for a long time. Please don't think I am annoying you when I tell you."

Yi Zhonghai slowed down his eating pace, he naturally knew the question Qin Huairu was going to ask.

To be honest, he was very satisfied with the care Qin Huairu's family had given him during this period, and he had even slowly let down his guard.

Yi Zhonghai said to Qin Huairu: "Huairu, you don't need to ask, I know what you want to tell me."

"Don't worry, after the New Year, I will hand over my work position to Xiaodang."

"This will help you get rid of the burden in your heart. What do you think?"

Qin Huairu, who was originally a little depressed, suddenly became smiling and said happily: "Uncle, I knew you were the best to our family."

"As long as Xiaodang starts working, our family's life will definitely get better and better. You can just rest assured and enjoy your retirement life."

Hearing Qin Huairu's promise, Yi Zhonghai couldn't stop smiling and agreed with a smile on his face.

What Qin Huairu was thinking in her heart was: "Yi Zhonghai, I'll let you have a good New Year in these few days."

"I am collecting your salary on your behalf now. Once you hand over your work position, you will be of no use to our chickens."

Yi Zhonghai was still happily chatting with Jia Zhang, completely unaware of Qin Huairu's thoughts.

Xu Damao in the backyard is not having a good time now either. He has spent a lot of money on medical expenses in the past few years, but the treatments have hardly been effective.

At the beginning, Xu Damao was still very confident that he could recover, but after such a long time, Xu Damao felt that hope was becoming increasingly slim, and he gradually lost his original confidence.

Xu Damao thought to himself: "I have to find Sha Zhu, so that I can rely on Wang Tianfeng, this big tree."
