Siheyuan: The happy life of a little chef

Saturday night.

Li Jianjun and his family were sitting in a restaurant to eat. Normally they eat in restaurants, and Li Jianjun rarely cooks now.

Li Jianjun asked casually when he had almost finished eating.

"How are Xiaodang and Huaihua doing now?"

Li Wenyu replied.

"It's OK. Business is OK. Hot pot restaurants are better than fried chicken restaurants. Fried chicken restaurants are mostly eaten by children."

Li Jianjun nodded. This was normal. Now was not the time for an explosion. Li Jianjun started the business first in order to seize market share to avoid being snatched away by others later.

Han Chunyan touched Li Wenbin's head.

"Son, why aren't you talking?"

Li Wenbin was not in a good mood.

"Nothing, I don't understand what you are talking about, just tell me."

Han Chunyan felt a little sorry for her son.

"Son, I'm sorry. Your father, sister and I were busy and neglected you."

Li Jianjun also realized it.

"Well, tomorrow is Sunday, let's go out and play for a day, and give ourselves a day off, so as to combine work and rest."

Li Wenyu shook his head.

"You can rest, but I can't. The restaurant will definitely be very busy tomorrow. I have to watch it."

Li Jianjun picked some food for her.

"It's okay. Don't we have Xiaozao to support us? Our family hasn't gone out to play for a long time."

Li Wenyu thought about it and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I'll tell my aunt later and ask her to keep an eye on it. By the way, where are we going to play?"

Li Jianjun looked at Li Wenbin.

"You little brat, tell me, I'll listen to you tomorrow."

Li Wenbin immediately perked up.

"Dad, I want to go to Qinjia Village to play."

Han Chunyan asked in confusion.

"Why did you think of going to the countryside?"

Li Wenbin said.

"I've had enough fun in this city. I've been to Qinjia Village with Xiaodang Huaihua before. The countryside is quite fun, so I want to go back and have some fun."

Li Jianjun nodded.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. How about I give your Aunt Qin a call? They haven't been home for a long time. Let's go together then."

Li Wenyu said happily.

"Okay, I'll call them now."

After saying that, Li Wenyu ran to the office to make a phone call.

Li Wenbin asked.

"Dad, can I take Dabao with me? He was supposed to come play with me tomorrow, and I can't be disloyal and leave him behind."

Li Jianjun doesn't care.

"Sure, how about you drive your sister's car to pick him up tomorrow morning and we'll go first. You know the way anyway."

Li Wenbin jumped up immediately.

"Really? Dad, you finally let me drive."

Li Jianjun smiled.

"If I don't let you drive, you won't drive? Don't think I don't know that you often secretly drive your sister's car to go out for fun."

Li Wenbin scratched his head embarrassedly.

"I'm afraid I've forgotten how to drive, so I'm using my sister's car to practice. But don't worry, Dad. I drive very steadily and I've never hit anything."

Of course Li Jianjun knew that he was driving steadily, otherwise he would have warned him long ago.

"Then it's settled. We'll go to Qinjia Village tomorrow. I've prepared a fishing rod for a good fishing trip."

Li Wenbin also said happily.

"I'll ask Uncle Jiang Hai to take us to the back mountain to hunt tomorrow. I've wanted to go for a long time."

At this time, Li Wenyu came over after finishing his phone call.

"Dad, it's all settled. Let's go together tomorrow."

Li Jianjun nodded.

"Give your car keys to Wenbin later, and he will drive your car to pick up Dabao tomorrow."

Li Wenbin couldn't wait to stretch out his hand.

"Sister, the key."

Li Wenyu rolled his eyes at him.

"The key is in the office. I'll give it to you later."

Li Wenbin said.

"Dad, I'll go to Dabao's house in a while. I won't be back at night. I'll sleep with him and go directly to Qinjia Village tomorrow."

Han Chunyan asked.

"He has a large family. Is there enough space?"

Li Wenbin explained.

"Enough, of course. His eldest sister has gone to the army to find her brother-in-law, his second sister is still in school, and his sister Duoduo lives outside and rarely comes back. There are plenty of rooms."

Li Wenyu understands it better.

"Mom, this isn't the first time he's been to Dabao's house, so just leave it alone."

Li Jianjun also spoke.

"Let him be. The child has his own friends. We don't have time to accompany him. Don't we rely on friends to accompany him?"

When Li Wenbin saw that it was passed unanimously, he immediately prepared to run to the office to get the car keys.

Han Chunyan called out to him.

"Wenbin, are you full? You only ate so little."

Li Wenbin is now so focused on driving that he has no time to eat. He used to drive secretly, but now he finally has a legitimate opportunity, so how can he waste time on eating?

"I'm not going to eat it anymore. I'll go to Dabao to get some later."

Li Jianjun said.

"Go to the kitchen and cook a few dishes to bring to Dabao's house. Don't always go there for free meals. Also, drive slowly on the road. Don't be late for the gathering at Qinjia Village tomorrow."

Li Wenbin nodded.

"Got it dad, I'll go to the kitchen now."

Li Wenbin came to the kitchen and found Sha Zhu.

"Uncle He, please help me cook some dishes to take away. I'm in a hurry."

Sha Zhu wiped the sweat from his head.

"Okay, Wenbin, wait a minute. I'll fry it for you now. Bring the lunch box over."

Li Jianjun's family has their own lunch boxes at the restaurant, which are used to pack meals when needed.

After getting the lunch box, Li Wenbin waited beside Sha Zhu and chatted with him.

"Uncle He, what is Chen Guang doing now?"

Sha Zhu laughed while cooking.

"Chen Guang is working. When he saves enough money, he will start his own business. I am also saving for him."

Li Wenbin touched his chin and thought for a while.

"Uncle He, why don't you let my dad invest some money in Chen Guang? We don't know when he will have enough money, and it will be difficult to enter the market by then."

Sha Zhu said embarrassedly.

"You can't trouble your dad for everything. Chen Guang was able to get into college thanks to your dad."

Li Wenbin waved his hand.

"It's no problem. My dad needs a return on his investment. I'm not giving him money for nothing. Don't worry. I'll talk to my dad tomorrow."

Sha Zhu was so happy that his son could avoid taking a detour that he immediately expressed his gratitude.

"Thank you so much, Wenbin. I'll ask Chenguang when I get back and see what he thinks."

Li Wenbin slapped his head.

"That's fine, let's see what Chen Guang thinks first. If he's willing to come back, I'll talk to my dad."

Sha Zhu worked even harder.

"Okay, if this works out, Uncle He will cook Tan's dishes for you. That's Uncle He's specialty."

Li Wenbin nodded.

"I know that. I will definitely try Uncle He's cooking when the time comes."

Soon, Sha Zhu fried four dishes and also served a large portion of pork ribs, and the soup was ready.

"Uncle He, I have something to do so I'll leave first."

Sha Zhu immediately helped him hold the soup.

"You carry the lunch box and I'll hold the soup so it won't spill later."

Li Wenbin was not pretentious. He brought Sha Zhu to the car, opened the door and put the lunch box in. He then took the soup from Sha Zhu's hand and put it away carefully.

"Uncle He, I'm leaving first."

After saying that, Li Wenbin got in the car and set off.

Sha Zhu sighed as he watched Li Wenbin drive away.

"In the blink of an eye, the little kid back then can drive now. Time flies so fast. But I still have Chen Guang. When he gets married and has kids, I can help him take care of the kids, hehe."
