Rebirth He Yuzhu I am a family man

After the "smuggler" incident, although the Yan and Liu families acknowledged the foreign debt of the neighbors, they only paid back a tiny amount every month. When it was not paid off, the parties involved, Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangtian, were afraid of being blocked by people to collect the debt, so they could only try their best to avoid the neighbors in their former courtyard. They lived like rats crossing the street.

Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangtian did not have the capital to make a comeback by becoming "smugglers" and could only make a living by doing odd jobs.

With the rapid economic development of the city, Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangtian both looked towards the south. In order to turn their lives around as soon as possible and stop their families from living in fear, they went to the south to make a living.

On the other hand, the renovation of the courtyard house was supervised by He Daqing. From demolition to reconstruction according to the original appearance and decoration, the project was completed in less than two months.

He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e took into consideration that He Daqing and Li Cuilan were old, and they were afraid that cooking frequently would tire them out; and the two nannies at home could not speak the local language, so eating their cooking once in a while was acceptable as a try, but if they really had to eat it every day, their stomachs might not be able to bear it.

After comprehensive consideration, they planned to open "He's Stew House" in the outer courtyard and front yard of the courtyard, mainly serving Tan's cuisine. The original intention of He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e was to solve the problem of food at home, not for the purpose of profit.

However, He Daqing and Li Cuilan are both people who cannot sit still. If they are left with nothing to do, they might get sick.

After careful consideration, He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e handed over the recruitment and management rights of the kitchen staff of the "He's Stew Restaurant" in the courtyard to He Daqing, letting him do it so that he would have something to do.

The managers, cashiers, waiters, doormen and others of the "He's Restaurant" in the courtyard are trained and dispatched by the company headquarters.

He Daqing was as naughty as a child. When he got such an important job, how could he not show his face in front of the neighbors around the Siheyuan? Within two days, everyone knew that the "He's Stew Restaurant" which was about to open in the Siheyuan was recruiting people with high salaries.

Yan Bugui heard the rumor from a neighbor who was collecting debts. Thinking that his eldest son's family was having a hard time, Yan Jiecheng ran away to the south. His eldest daughter-in-law Yu Li, who was in her forties, didn't have a proper job, so he thought of an excuse to visit the courtyard.

When Yan Bugui revisited the old place, the courtyard in front of him was no longer the dilapidated and gloomy appearance it once was. From a distance, it was glittering in the sun, and the brand-new blue bricks and black tiles, carved window lattices, and flying eaves and corners looked particularly elegant and solemn.

As we got closer, we saw that the three back houses facing the street had their exterior walls all decorated with large transparent glass windows. The exterior wall of one of the houses was knocked down and replaced with a grand floor-to-ceiling glass door.

Yan Bugui was allowed to enter the courtyard only after the concierge called to confirm. He walked in the stone-paved courtyard, looking at the exquisite brick carvings, wood carvings, stone carvings, and carefully arranged flowers, plants, and trees, and seemed to be able to feel the good fortune of the owner's family.

Looking around, each room in the courtyard is connected to each other by a corridor, which makes the whole courtyard feel comfortable and harmonious...

This was definitely not the messy courtyard house that Yan Bugui had originally remembered. Even the courtyard house when he was young, which had not been destroyed, could not be compared with the one in front of him.

Yan Bugui walked inside with shock and envy in his heart. After passing the moon gate in the central courtyard, he saw He Daqing and Li Cuilan sitting in the pavilion waiting for him.

Everything about the courtyard house was good now except that it lacked the bustling popularity of the past. When He Daqing heard the doorman say "Old neighbor Yan Bugui is here to visit", he excitedly called Li Cuilan and prepared to have a good chat with Yan Bugui.

The noble lady from Yanbu didn't come close, but she started to compliment him: "Daqing, you are so lucky! The courtyard has been renovated so beautifully, it's not a place for ordinary people to live anymore!"

He Daqing was obviously very proud in his heart, but he said politely: "Old Yan, what you said is true. I am just an ordinary retired worker who got some help from the pillar."

"Old neighbor, please stop saying those polite words. In the future, come visit us more often when you have time."

"It's the same as giving birth to a son. Look at the pillar. It brings you more honor."

"Look at my Yan Jiecheng. His business is not doing well and he is in debt. Now he has fled to the south. His wife Yu Li is over 40 years old and can't find a decent job."

"However, people cannot be compared. Think about how glorious Yi Zhonghai was in the past. The salary of an eighth-level worker was higher than that of the director of a steel mill. However, he was the first one to pass away among our generation..." The old neighbor hadn't seen each other for a long time. Yan Bugui couldn't control his mouth when he spoke, and he said whatever he thought of.

Li Cuilan was sewing a cloth shoe upper in her hand and lowered her head to continue: "Alas, Yi Zhonghai has been shrewd all his life, but in the end, Qin Huairu, who slept in the same room with him, didn't even notice..."

"If you ask me, it's because of the causes he created that he had such consequences. If he had lived a peaceful and law-abiding life, he wouldn't have ended up like that."

Yan Bugui came here this time to ask He Daqing for a favor, not to cause trouble. He felt that Li Cuilan sounded a little unhappy, so he quickly changed the subject and got down to business.

"Daqing, I heard that the 'He's Stew Restaurant' in the courtyard is hiring?"

"You also know that my family is in a lot of debt. I want to help Jie Cheng's wife Yu Li find a job so that his family can live better."

"Do you think there's a chance?"

He Daqing knew the Yan family's situation and really wanted to help his old neighbor, but he still expressed his concerns: "Old Yan, Yu Li is a smart, capable and ambitious person."

"It's just that she's already over 40 years old and doesn't have any cooking skills. She's working as a kitchen helper at He's Stew House, responsible for washing vegetables, dishes, serving dishes, etc. How can she be willing to do this? I'm afraid she won't be able to stay for long."

"I'm over 40, so why should I be so ambitious? It would be good enough if I can find a stable and decent job."

"Daqing, I heard that the salary at 'He's Stew House' is not low?" Yan Bugui couldn't help but asked about the salary that he was most concerned about.

"One month's salary is equivalent to working in an ordinary restaurant for several months. However, the requirements are also high, and there are many rules." He Daqing answered smugly with dead fish eyes.

Yan Bugui confirmed the rumor, and said to himself with a smile, "Daqing, then it's settled, let Yu Li come to work at He's Stew Restaurant!"

He Daqing gave a serious warning: "Okay! But let me be frank. If Yu Li doesn't work hard and can't continue, don't blame me."

Then he changed the subject and invited enthusiastically, "Old Yan, don't be in a hurry to leave today. Stay and have dinner with us. Let's have a few drinks together."

The eldest daughter-in-law Yu Li had secured a job and could get a free dinner. Yan Bugui was in a good mood and said politely, "Daqing, you are too polite! Okay, today, I will take advantage of you."

The three old men had nothing serious to talk about, so they started gossiping about all sorts of things.

"He's Stew House" is hiring people with high salaries, and He Daqing shows up in front of the neighbors. What he doesn't know is that He Yushui has lost his job...
