Siheyuan: The happy life of a little chef

Yan Bugui called Li Jianjun out.

"Jianjun, I heard you're short of people for that training, what do you think of me? I have nothing to do at home anyway."

Li Jianjun joked.

"Uncle, most of the people I train are young girls. Aren't you afraid that Auntie will find out and not let you in?"

Yan Bugui knew that Li Jianjun was joking and was not angry.

"What are you talking about? Your uncle is already so old, what do you think? Give me an answer."

Li Jianjun thought about it.

"Well, Third Uncle, I remember your daughter-in-law Yu Li is still at home, right? How about you bring her along and let her get some training, and then I'll give her the job of lobby manager first?"

Yan Bugui asked excitedly.

"Jianjun, how much does this lobby manager make per month?"

Li Jianjun didn't play tricks either.

"The lobby manager is temporarily paid 150 yuan a month. What do you think?"

Yan Bugui asked with his eyes wide open.

"So high? Jianjun, you won't lose money, right? What about the others?"

Li Jianjun mentioned the salary, and Yan Bugui couldn't believe it.

"Jianjun, this position must be reserved for our Yu Li. I'll go back and tell her right away."

After saying that, he ran back without waiting for Li Jianjun to speak. He was in such a hurry that people who didn't know would think something big had happened.

As soon as he returned home, Yan Bugui held a family meeting. Except for Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi, everyone else was at home.

"Today Xu Damao told me the news from Jianjun. I went to see him and he asked me to take Yu Li to training and give her a lobby manager."

After saying this, he looked at his family proudly, waiting for praise.

As the person who sleeps with the uncle, Auntie knows Uncle three best.

"Old man, this is great. You are really capable. Even Jianjun gives you face. It is not a big deal for Yu Li to go out and do some odd jobs. Now that she is with Jianjun, he will definitely not treat her badly."

Yan Jiecheng also asked.

"Dad, how much does Li Jianjun pay per month?"

Yan Bugui kept the secret.

"Guess how much is it per month?"

Yan Jiecheng thought about it.

"Li Jianjun is a very generous man. He should at least pay me 50 yuan a month. This salary is higher than mine."

Yan Bugui smiled and shook his head.

"Too low. Guess again."

Yan Jiecheng said.

"sixty?"

Yan Bugui still shook his head.

The three aunts were anxious.

"Okay, old man, just tell me, we are all anxious."

Yan Bugui took a sip of water.

"One hundred and fifty. The lobby manager gets one hundred and fifty a month."

The whole family opened their mouths in disbelief.

"Really, old man, are you telling the truth?"

Yan Bugui said.

"Of course it's true. Do you know when Jianjun has ever lied? I've asked around. Waiters make 80, kitchen helpers make 100, cooks make 200, and lobby managers make 150. Jianjun said this is the current rate, but I guess it will increase in the future."

Yan Bugui looked at his shocked family without saying a word and drank water. This was exactly the effect he wanted.

Finally Yu Li came to her senses.

"Dad, you must take me with you. This is a great opportunity. We can't let others take it away from us."

"Yes, Dad, you have a good relationship with Li Jianjun. He has such a high salary. Do you think Jiefang and I can go?"

Yan Jiefang also looked at Yan Bugui with expectation.

Yan Bugui shook his head.

"Do you really think of Jianjun's restaurant as your own? You can go whenever you want. Yu Li can go because of my face. Jianjun is just starting out. You can talk about your jobs later. Now just work hard in the factory, okay?"

Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang were a little disappointed, and Yan Bugui comforted them.

"As long as Yu Li goes in, it will be fine. Let's stabilize the situation first and talk about it later."

Just then the door of Yan's house was pushed open.

Yan Bugui took a look and immediately became excited.

"Jie Kuang, Jie Di, why are you back? Why didn't you tell us in advance so that we could pick you up?"

This shout drew everyone's attention to the door.

The three aunts ran over immediately, crying and talking.

"My Jie Kuang and Jie Di, you are finally back. Thank you for your hard work."

Yan Jie Di hugged the third aunt and cried, and Yan Jie Kuang's eyes also turned red.

"Dad, Mom, Big Brother, Big Sister-in-law, Second Brother, we are back."

Yan Bugui patted Yan Jiekuang on the shoulder.

"It's good to be back. Hmm, you're stronger now, like a man. You must have suffered a lot, right?"

Yan Jiekuang shook his head.

"No, you send me money every month, and I'm doing pretty well. I wanted to write you a letter, but then I thought, the letter might not arrive by the time I get home, so I didn't write."

Yan Bugui nodded.

"Not bad, not bad, mother, stop crying, help the child get his things in first, the child has worked hard along the way."

Soon everything was arranged.

Yan Bugui asked.

"Are you two the only ones back?"

Yan Jiekuang said while drinking water.

"No, Guangfu is back too. We met Banggeng on the road. He's back too."

Yan Bugui nodded.

"I remember you and Guangfu weren't far away, right? What about Banggeng? Was he far away?"

Yan Jiekuang said with a smile.

"We are not far from Guangfu, just next to us in the village. I often go to visit him. This guy lives a better life than me. As for Banggeng, he is quite far away, so I have never visited him."

Yan Bugui is very happy today as his family is finally reunited.

"Mother, stop talking. Take out the little things you have at home and let's have some fun."

The third aunt said while wiping her tears.

"Okay, I'll go now."

The same thing happened in the Liu family. Second Aunt was also very happy that Liu Guangfu came back and waved her hand.

"Fry ten eggs, and let's have a nice drink together."

Jia family.

The curly-haired Bangter pushed open the door carrying his luggage.

Jia Zhang was cooking at home. When she saw the stick in front of her, tears came out immediately.

He ran to Bang Geng, hugged him and cried.

"My goodness, you're finally back. Grandma missed you so much. Let grandma take a good look at you."

Banggeng was a little excited to see Jia Zhang again.

"Grandma, I'm back."

After saying this, tears began to fall.

Jia Zhang looked at the stick stem in front of her and said with heartache.

"Bang Geng, why have you lost so much weight? Did you eat poorly? Did someone bully you?"

Bangge shook his head.

“Grandma, no one bullies me, how are you at home? Does anyone bully you?”

Jia Zhang shook her head.

"No, no one bullies me. Who dares to bully me? Banggeng, you should clean up first. Grandma will buy you something delicious. Grandma will be back soon."

After saying this, Jia Zhang ran out.

Bang Geng wanted to hold her back, but failed.

"Grandma, don't go."

But Jia Zhang had already run far away.

Banggeng put away his luggage and looked at the home where he had grown up. He felt very sad. When he thought about the hardships he had suffered in the countryside, he suddenly started crying again.

He regretted it very much now. He regretted persuading Qin Huairu to marry Sha Zhu, and he regretted stealing Sha Zhu's money and disappointing Sha Zhu even more. Thinking of this, he slapped himself twice.

After a while, Jia Zhang came back.

"Bang Geng, it's too late today. Grandma didn't buy any meat, but she did buy roast duck. You loved it when you were a kid. Tomorrow, tomorrow grandma will buy some meat and make your favorite braised pork, okay?"

Bang Geng rubbed his eyes and nodded.

"Grandma, I will listen to you. You are so kind to me."

Jia Zhang patted Banggeng on the back.

"You are my grandson. If I don't treat you well, who will? Grandma is counting on you to live a good life."

Bangge nodded.

"Grandma, I will definitely find a job and work hard to make money so that you can live a good life."

Jia Zhang said with a smile.

"Grandma believes in you. We Banggeng have been smart since we were young."

If other people saw this scene, they would probably think they were hallucinating. I didn't expect that Jia Zhang and Bang Geng would have such a heartwarming scene.
