The Dog King of Siheyuan Tears and Rebirth

Chapter 336: Leftovers from overtime, a great idea

Time quickly passed and it was a month later. One morning, after getting up, the aunt started heating up the dishes. In an instant, the yard was filled with fragrance.

"Old lady, is it appropriate to eat such a good meal so early in the morning?" Liu Haizhong said happily.

"What's the big deal? There are a lot of leftovers in Zhuzi Restaurant. This is my overtime reward. Daqing's wife said so. The chairman said that as long as we work overtime and get things done, these leftovers will be our reward." An aunt laughed.

Hearing what the aunt said, Liu Haizhong said happily, "So I will have these to eat in the future?"

"That's right. As long as I work there, I will have a good day. You don't know, the restaurant business is so good. Some people come to eat and order a lot of dishes. They don't take away the food they can't finish." An aunt explained.

"Haha, this is good. From now on, we don't have to buy vegetables at home. Just buy some noodles." Liu Haizhong said happily.

"That's right, it's enough to be frugal. Fortunately, I have your face. The people in the restaurant gave me face and let me choose first." The aunt laughed.

"So other people in the hospital also took it?" Liu Haizhong asked.

"Those who work overtime get it, but those who don't work overtime can't get it," explained an elderly lady.

"Haha, it seems like going to work at the Pillar Hotel was the right move."

"That's right. Otherwise you can only look at it now. I have picked out the ones for lunch. You just need to heat them up when the time comes. I will put the others in the cupboard for you." The aunt explained.

"Okay, okay, go to work as soon as you're done! Don't miss work." Liu Haizhong said with a smile.

"I know, I know. When I'm busy, it's almost noon. Even if I forget something, I can't forget to go to work, right?" said the aunt with a smile.

After a while, after the lady left, Liu Haizhong came to the shade of the tree in the middle courtyard with a teacup and sat down. Then he took out the chess pieces and started setting them up. As soon as he finished setting up the pieces, several old men from the courtyard came over.

"Good morning, uncle. Did you just come out after eating? What a strange life you have. I could smell the delicious food just now. Wow, you are eating meat so early in the morning?" said an uncle.

"Hey, the old woman brought it from Zhuzi Hotel, saying it was a reward for overtime work. Didn't your wife bring any back?" Liu Haizhong asked.

"No, she just brings it sometimes. Do you think they are all like you? You have a good relationship with Zhuzi. I envy you, Jin." The old man laughed.

Hearing the compliment, Liu Haizhong was very happy, "Haha, that's just the way it is. It's mainly because Zhuzi thinks highly of me. Come on, let's play chess."

In this way, several old men sat around the chessboard and played chess back and forth.

At noon, with the compliments of a bunch of uncles, Liu Haizhong heated up the dishes and brought them to the central courtyard. Several old men began to eat with a smile, drinking while eating, which was so comfortable to watch.

In the distance, Yan Fugui looked at those people, envious to death. Actually, he had a pension, so he wouldn't starve to death if he didn't work now, but he just wanted to save more money. After liberation, he hadn't gotten married yet?

"Dad, this bunch of old guys are surrounding the He family and trying to suck up to them. Look, they just got some leftovers. They don't even mind. I think the dishes are full of other people's saliva. How can they eat them? Aren't they afraid of getting sick?" Yan Jiecheng said sourly.

Qin Jingru, who was standing nearby, said with disdain, "Jie Cheng, you are just saying the grapes are sour because you can't eat them. It means you and Sha Zhu don't have a good relationship. Look at other people's jobs. The people who wash the dishes in his restaurant are paid several hundred yuan! Sometimes they even have leftovers, and they even have meat dishes. They live a good life!"

"So what? I will not bow down for a few pieces of silver. The He family and I are irreconcilable." Yan Jiecheng said.

"Let's work. Are you still incompatible? Do you have the power?" Yan Fugui said speechlessly. Now he really regretted it. He regretted it so much that his intestines turned green. Why did he plot against Sha Zhu in the first place? If he didn't plot, he would definitely have a share of this good life.

At the same time, at Yi Zhonghai's home, Yi Zhonghai was also very depressed. He didn't find any work today. Recently, batches of educated youth came back, and those who didn't find work came to grab his work, so he didn't get any work for a long time. When he came back, he saw Liu Haizhong and a few others drinking and chatting happily, looking very happy.

He was so envious, envious of the comfort in his bangs. Retirement is retirement, drinking wine, playing chess. He felt that these days should be his, this was his retirement life. But the reality did not allow it at all. He had no pension, and even if he had one, he could not drink and eat meat every day.

Just when Yi Zhonghai was feeling depressed, Bang Geng complained, "Mom, why are we eating white noodles again? Can't we have some meat when eating white noodles every day? What we eat is not as good as what those old guys at the door eat."

After hearing what Banggeng said, Yi Zhonghai's face instantly became even uglier, and he was furious, but he didn't dare to curse, because he couldn't move and still relied on Banggeng.

"Banggeng, what are you talking about? Didn't you love eating white noodles the most before? Now you're not satisfied even after eating them every day?" Qin Huairu said with a smile.

"The past is the past. We used to eat steamed bread. Don't we rarely eat it now?" Banggeng said.

"Kid, this is all your Uncle Yi worked hard to get back. You should be content. Also, you should really find a job. You can't go on like this. You still need to get married and have children," Qin Huairu said.

"Yes, Banggeng, you should find something to do. It's easy to become useless if you sit idle all day." Yi Zhonghai agreed.

"I know, but what can I do if the street office doesn't arrange a job for me? Look how many people are idle? The factory is not recruiting anyone now, not a single one." Bang Geng said.

"Why don't you take over Xiaodang's job?" Qin Huairu said cautiously, "Xiaodang is going to get married anyway."

"No, I don't want to clean the toilet." Banggeng refused.

"This..." Qin Huairu looked at Yi Zhonghai embarrassedly and said, "Old Yi, do you have any ideas? Arrange a better job for Banggeng. Many of your former apprentices are now directors of the factory."

"Ah! People leave and the tea gets cold. Do you think I haven't thought about it? It's useless. It's better to rely on yourself than on others. You'd better find a way yourself. It doesn't matter if it's hard or dirty. You have to do it first." Yi Zhonghai said helplessly.

"I won't do it. At worst I can do a business. It's all possible now. There's no reason why he, Shazhu, can do it but I can't. I just don't have the money." Bang Geng said, looking at Qin Huairu. His meaning couldn't be more obvious.

Seeing her son's eyes, Qin Huairu looked at Yi Zhonghai expectantly again. In fact, she also had an idea, which was to open a small business so that the three idle people in their family would have something to do.

"Why are you looking at me? I don't have much money. Is it easy to do business? Have you thought about what you want to do?" Yi Zhonghai said speechlessly.

"Open a restaurant!" Bang Geng said without hesitation. He had thought about it a long time ago and had secretly seen how good the He family's business was. He thought, isn't it just cooking and selling food? How simple is that?

After hearing what Bang Geng said, Yi Zhonghai was speechless, "It's easy for you to say that. Do you know how much money it costs to open a restaurant? I heard that it costs 100,000? Where is the money? Do you have it? Also, who among you can cook?"

"If you can't open a big one, you can open a small one! As for the chef, my mother is not bad. If it doesn't work, you can hire a chef! As long as you pay the money, can't you find a chef?" Bang Geng said.

"Child's talk, it's that simple. The street would have been full of restaurants." Yi Zhonghai said.

"It's that simple, it's just that I don't have any money. Uncle Yi, if you have some, could you lend it to me first?" Bang Geng said expectantly.

Hearing Banggeng asking for money, Yi Zhonghai didn't dare to refuse directly, so he said, "Where can I get the money? It's only the three or four hundred I saved before, and these are reserved for your wedding. Is it enough to open a restaurant?"

"That's just a small amount!" Bang Geng said disappointedly, "I don't know where your money went."

"Haha, yes, let's get married first. People say that you can only start a career after you get married. So, I will go to your uncle's house soon. This matter can't be delayed any longer." Qin Huairu said to smooth things over. She was really afraid that Yi Zhonghai would have a conflict with her son. After all, Yi Zhonghai was now half the pillar of the family and they didn't even have the house yet.

When he heard about getting married, Banggeng's attention was immediately diverted again, "Mom, we've been talking about this for a long time, hurry up! If it's any later, I'll be Yan Jiecheng, and he's married now, there's no reason why I should be worse than a cripple."

"Okay, Mom will go tomorrow." Qin Huairu said with a smile.

"Are you better than the cripple? At least he can pick up waste to support his family. What about you?" Yi Zhonghai complained in his heart.
