Siheyuan: The happy life of a little chef

Time soon came to evening and the whole family returned.

The children were playing and the adults were chatting, it was very lively.

It's time for dinner. The adults sat at one table, the children sat at another, and even my brother-in-law came.

Aunt Han, as the elder, was the first to speak.

"Today Jianjun and his family are back, let's have a good time and thank Jianjun for taking care of us all these years."

After a round of thanks, we started eating.

Boss Han asked.

"Jianjun, what are you going to do after you resign?"

Li Jianjun asked.

"Brother, how do you know?"

Boss Han smiled.

"Everyone in the factory knows that more than half of the people in your third canteen have left. Recently, Shazhu has been shaking. The second canteen is overcrowded every day."

Li Jianjun took Nan Yi and Fatty away. The steel mill canteen was now under the control of Sha Zhu. In order to stabilize Sha Zhu, Li Huaide had already begun to think of ways to give Sha Zhu the position of canteen director.

Li Jianjun did not hide it either.

"Isn't this the time of reform and opening up? I also want to start a business. I plan to open three restaurants first and then plan for the rest."

Everyone was a little surprised. Except for Meng Xiaoxing, Meng Xiaozao and the Li family, Doudou had already known about Li Jianjun's plan.

After being surprised, Han's eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law and eldest sister were all excited.

"Jianjun, you and Chunyan'er are too busy to handle it. We've been to the restaurant before, so why don't we help you run the business? To be honest, there's too much competition in our factory, and I'm almost becoming a handyman."

The eldest sister of the Han family spoke first.

Han's eldest sister-in-law also nodded.

"Yes, yes, Jianjun, we are your family, you can leave it to us without any worries."

Han Chunming was a little unhappy. He was about to be happy for his brother-in-law, but now his family wanted to intervene. However, he didn't say anything, and it was not easy for him to say anything, after all, he was the youngest.

Boss Han reached down and pulled his wife, signaling her not to say anything.

It was awkward for a moment.

Han Chunyaner will not give them a good face.

"Sister and sister-in-law, Jianjun's restaurant hasn't even opened yet, and you're thinking of taking over? What's the matter? Jianjun opened it for you?"

Han Chunxue (the eldest sister of the Han family) was unhappy.

"Chun Yan'er, how can you say that? We are helping Jianjun, don't be ungrateful."

Han Chunyan was about to retort when Aunt Han slammed the table.

"Bang, what are you doing? Jianjun opening a restaurant is his own business, why do you interfere? Do you have the ability to do that? Xiaoxue, shut up, get out of here if you keep talking nonsense, and boss, keep an eye on your wife."

Aunt Han's scolding scared them so much that they dared not speak.

Han Chunyan secretly gave Aunt Han a thumbs up.

Li Jianjun saw that the situation was a bit awkward and said with a smile.

"Sister, sister-in-law, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just that this restaurant has just started, and there are many things I haven't figured out yet. Can we talk about it after it stabilizes?"

Boss Han quickly tried to smooth things over.

"Right, right, right. Jianjun has invested a lot of money in this. How can we let you mess around? Let's talk about it after it stabilizes."

Li Jianjun continued.

"It's not that I don't take care of our family. So, Xiao Xing'er and Xiao Zao'er want to find a job in the city, right? Come to my place tomorrow and train with me."

Aunt Han was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say, just as Li Jianjun spoke.

"Really? Thank you Jianjun, Xing'er, Zao'er, and thank your second brother-in-law."

The two sisters stood up and bowed to Li Jianjun.

"Thank you, second brother-in-law."

Han Chunyan quickly helped the two of them up.

"What are you doing? We are all family. If others knew about this, they would think Jianjun dislikes you!"

Aunt Han laughed it off.

"How could that be? We country folks don't understand those roundabout ways. We can only thank people this way. Xing'er, Zao'er, you must be obedient when you get there. Do whatever you are told to do. If you don't, I will tell your parents and break your legs later."

The two sisters smiled and nodded.

"Aunt, we must listen to our second brother-in-law and not cause him any trouble."

The atmosphere is better now and not so awkward.

Han Chunming knocked on the table.

"Let me say a few words. I plan to sell my job and start my own business."

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, he was met with a lot of opposition.

Boss Han spoke first.

"Xiaowu, do you know what you are talking about? Jianjun found you a job at the post office. Do you know how many people envy you? What do you want to do after you sell your job?"

The second brother of the Han family didn't say anything, but had a smiling face, waiting to see Han Chunyan make a fool of herself.

Aunt Han didn't get angry, she just asked.

"Xiao Wu, have you made up your mind? Tell us what you want to do. Let's discuss it. Your second brother-in-law has a good eye and may be able to give you an idea."

Han Chunming was a little embarrassed to say it out loud, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say it.

"I want to collect the junk first."

This sentence almost made Mr. Han angry to death.

"You, you, you're leaving such a respectable job at the post office to collect junk? What are you thinking? I don't agree."

Aunt Han also somewhat disagreed.

"Xiao Wu, why don't you think about it again, even if it's just to do something else."

Han Chunming insisted.

"Mom, big brother, I have my own ideas, but I can't tell you now. Just listen to me this time, and I promise to make something of myself."

Li Jianjun saw that he had almost finished speaking, so he spoke.

"Mom, big brother, Chunming has his own ideas. Young people should go out and explore. There is no distinction between high and low jobs. You may think he is collecting rags now, but one day he may collect a fortune. Besides, don't you still have me? I will protect him. Chunming, don't sell your job yet. Apply for a job retention and do your own thing first. This will also leave you a way out."

When Boss Han heard what Li Jianjun said, he no longer objected. He believed in Li Jianjun very much. With the help of Li Jianjun over the years, he became the deputy workshop director.

"Listen to Jianjun and apply for a stay first. If you can't do it anymore, you can come back."

Han Chunming nodded.

"Okay, I'll listen to my second brother-in-law. Don't worry, I will definitely make a name for myself."

As soon as Han Chunming stuck out his butt, Li Jianjun knew what he was going to do.

"Chun Ming'er, we have passed this stage. Have you thought about how to tell Su Meng? She is a college student now. Will she agree to you collecting junk?"

Han Chunming slammed the table.

"Oh, I forgot about this lady. How about I keep it to myself and tell her after I have achieved some results?"

Li Jianjun said while knocking on the table.

"Chun Ming'er, have you ever thought about this? If you don't tell her now, she will think you are deliberately deceiving her when she finds out. There must be trust between two people. This is not good for your relationship."

Han Chunming had a bitter face.

"I know her, she will definitely not agree, but I have to do this, so I can only keep it a secret for now, and then find a way to explain it to her. You all should keep your mouth shut, don't let anything slip."

Li Jianjun continued.

"Chun Ming'er, you are an adult now. You should be responsible for your own affairs. Don't come to us and cry to us. We don't have time to deal with you."

Han Chun knew that Li Jianjun was joking with him, but he didn't say anything.

After dinner, Han Chunming found Li Jianjun.

"Brother-in-law, I'm short of money. Can you lend me some?"

Li Jianjun said with a smile.

"I don't want to ask you what you want to do. I just want to tell you that I will support you. Just tell me how much you want."

Han Chunming was moved.

"Brother-in-law, five hundred is ok? I'll pay you back when the time comes, and give you something good at the same time."

Li Jianjun said with a smile.

"Don't lie to me, I'm waiting, otherwise you'll have a hard time, and I'll let my big brother take care of you."

Han Chunming was most afraid of Boss Han. After all, he had been naughty since he was a child and had been beaten many times, but he also respected Boss Han the most.
