"This is something I brought back from abroad. It's not available in China yet! I hope you like it..." It can be regarded as a reward for her several times of "bowing".
"Thank you, I love it!"
If you wear this watch and walk around the steel mill, I guarantee it will dazzle most people's eyes. A watch is nothing. Mine even has diamonds.
Soon they arrived at the Yu family's yard. Yu Li was also at home today. She heard that her sister was dating Chen Fang and was very happy. It would be great if they could get together.
But she was the only one who came home. Yan Jiecheng didn’t come, mainly because he was embarrassed!
Yu Haitang introduced to her mother, "Mom, this is Chen Fang, Chen Fang is my mother!"
"Hello, Auntie! Sister Yu Li, you are home too!" Chen Fang greeted with a smile.
"Xiao Chen, welcome, welcome! Just come if you want to. Why are you carrying so many things?"
When we first met, this young man's hands and feet were too big. Seeing that Chen Fang was quite handsome and polite to him! At first, I was most worried that he would be arrogant and look down on their small family.
Now, all these concerns are thrown out of the window. After all, I brought so many things because I value your family.
"Auntie, you must bring something when you visit for the first time, otherwise it will look awkward." Chen Fang had no opinion about the old woman. Who knows what would happen if her two daughters followed Chen Fang in the future.
"Chen Fang, come in quickly! My mother has prepared dinner and is waiting for you!" Yu Li said, after all, this was her own home.
"Yes, yes, yes. Come on, Xiao Chen, come inside and eat. Don't stand outside."
Hi, my daughter is so lucky. It seems that she won’t have to worry about her life in the future. I didn’t expect that when I married Lao Yu, I was still a pauper. I had to endure all kinds of hardships.
It's really annoying to compare people to each other.
The others had no idea what Yu's mother was thinking.
Chapter 201: Hot pot restaurant is hiring.
It was very normal to run into neighbors when they were walking towards the yard, after all, this was the case in all courtyard houses.
You can’t see it when you look up. You can’t see it when you look down.
"Good morning, Master Li. Haitang, who is this?" a neighbor asked. After all, Yu Haitang was the most beautiful girl in this yard.
Before her daughter could reply, Yu's mother interrupted.
"This is Haitang's boyfriend. Today is the first time he comes to our house!"
"Oh, so he's Haitang's boyfriend. He looks really energetic..." the old man exclaimed. He knew he was wealthy from the way he was dressed. He thought the Yu family would become rich soon. The eldest daughter opened a restaurant, and the youngest daughter found a rich boyfriend.
Amid the neighbor’s sighs, I arrived at Yu’s house.
Yu's father was busy cooking at this time. He was a henpecked man who did all the housework and cooking at home. Yu's mother was the one who had the final say at home.
At this time, Yu Li discovered the watch on her sister's hand. It was so beautiful that she had never seen it before.
"It looks good, isn't it, sister? This is what Chen Fang brought back from abroad..." Yu Haitang said boastfully.
Yu Li was extremely envious, thinking to herself how could there be such a big difference between women? The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, wondering why her own Yan Jiecheng was so cowardly.
"It's great, you two have to take care of each other, you're already grown up and it's time for you to start a family.
"Yu Li was not angry with her sister yet.
...
"Stop fiddling with your watch and come over for dinner," Yu's mother called out.
Chen Fang was adept at dealing with this matter with his father-in-law.
......
Soon, Yu's father and mother expressed their approval and had no objection at all. Judging from the performance of Yu Haitang's parents, these two people liked her more than anyone else, so this would be an easy matter.
The two elders had long imagined in their hearts that Chen Fang would marry Yu Haitang as soon as possible, and that the two of them would be a couple and live a sweet life together. How wonderful that would be!
After saying goodbye to Yu's parents, Chen Fang returned to the courtyard. Yu Haitang now wished she could move there to live, but she really couldn't bring herself to do so.
"Brother Chen, I heard that you are going to marry Yu Haitang, is it true?" Huaihua asked.
"Yeah, we should be getting married soon, what's wrong?"
Huaihua heard that the rumor was true. She had just heard the third uncle say it in the yard. She didn't believe it at first, but after hearing it so convincingly, she came over to ask Chen Fang what was going on.
"Then you won't chase me away after you get married, right?" This is what Huaihua cared about. If she was given money to be Chen Fang's lover, she would be willing to do so.
"At that time, you can just continue to work. If you feel it is inconvenient, you can go to work at the hot pot restaurant. How about that!"
"I'd better stay at home... the hot pot restaurant is a bit far." She is not stupid, so she doesn't know to choose an easy one. She heard from her sister Xiaodang that the hot pot restaurant business is very good now, and she is exhausted every day.
...
At the same time, in Hong Kong! Lou Xiao'e was on her way back to Beijing with her son He Xiao. Chen Fang remembered that he had done business with Lou Xiao'e in Hong Kong, so they should know each other.
Lou Xiao'e was also very excited. In fact, she had secretly returned to Beijing several times over the years. She knew that the situation there was really chaotic only in the first three years. As time went on, everyone still had to live their own lives and didn't care much about those things.
Moreover, she had found out clearly the last time she went back that Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong, who had caused her the most harm, had long since stepped down. Now it was an era of openness, and they were needed to go back and invest in construction.
That's why Lou Xiao'e took her son and prepared to return to the capital to let He Xiao see her father and the courtyard where she had lived a long time ago. But what she didn't know was that Sha Zhu was now squatting under the bridge.
Since Sha Zhu was kicked out of the courtyard, he had no choice but to live under a bridge and found a job as a chef in a small restaurant. It must be said that he was quite good at cooking and could barely make a living.
Sha Zhu regrets it now, but it's too late. He still owes Chen Fang a huge debt and is worried every day.
What he didn't know was that Lou Xiao'e and his son were on their way to find him, and he didn't know whether this idiot would continue to provide blood transfusions to the Siheyuan like in the original drama.
Even though the Jia family kicked him out, that doesn't stop him from continuing to be a bootlicker, right?
Chen Fang's life now is very limited. Every day he accompanies Yu Haitang to talk about love and go shopping. After returning home, he plays with the little girl Huaihua. In the evening, Qin Jingru also accompanies him.
This is the life of gods, okay? The world of the courtyard is much better than real life. Yu Haitang knew all these things very well, and she just acquiesced to them, because she had been told so before.
Chen Fang returned to the courtyard and said loudly, "Neighbors, I have some news to tell you. Please come over."
Hearing that there was news to be announced, the aunts and wives in the courtyard suddenly became excited. Chen Fang was a big boss, could it be that he was going to send pork again?
They gathered around and asked, "What's the news?"
"Chen Fang, is there any good news?"
"Are you going to send pork again?"
Before Chen Fang could speak, several aunties and grandmas started talking at once, saying that it was women's nature to gossip.
"Dear neighbors, I am planning to open another hot pot restaurant. Now I need 20 service staff. Those who need it can sign up here. The monthly salary is 40 yuan plus bonus, which is about 60 yuan, but you have to be diligent..."
This was actually helping Yu Li. These things were originally Yu Li's job, but because she was too busy, she simply had no time. Although she could have gained huge benefits by hiring people, she didn't do it.
The Siheyuan was in an uproar, and everyone was extremely excited.
"Chen Fang, is this true?"
"You didn't lie to us, did you?"
"Oh my god, I can earn 60 yuan a month. Did I hear it right?"
Everyone thinks that waiters are just serving dishes and washing dishes. How tiring can it be? Just be diligent! They can earn 60 yuan a month, which is a very high salary!
"Of course it's true. If you need it, you can come here to sign up. Let me make it clear first! If anyone tries to cheat there, I will kick them out!" Chen Fang said the ugly words in advance to avoid trouble later.
Now the women in the compound understood that their chance to make money had come. They could definitely work as waitresses. It was just a little hard work, so what?
"Chen Fang, count me in, I want to sign up!"
"I want to go too, count me in."
.....
Soon the quota was filled, and several young wives in the compound even ran to Chen Fang, holding his hands, hoping that Chen Fang could take them with him. Chen Fang still underestimated the magic of money and had to say yes.
"Don't worry, everyone will have a chance! But I only want hardworking people, I don't want those who are sneaky and dishonest!" Although the hot pot restaurant is full, the trading company's instant noodles can still be promoted. You can earn two or three dollars after a day's hard work.
Chapter 202 Lou Xiaoe appears.
Naturally there were some people who were dissatisfied, including Jia Zhang and Bang Geng.
Jia Zhang said loudly, "Chen Fang, I also want to go to work, you must take me with you." She said it very confidently, leaving everyone speechless, as if Chen Fang owed her something.
When Chen Fang heard this, he frowned and wondered what this Jia Zhang was up to.
"Ms. Jia Zhang, this is the state of our relationship, so forget it. Besides, I don't want a lazy fat pig!" Chen Fang said with a smile.
Jia Zhang glared and was about to explode, opening her mouth to curse, but before she could say anything, the neighbors around her started criticizing her.
"Jia Zhang, just forget it. You are so lazy and greedy that you will ruin the hot pot restaurant."
"Jia Zhang, please don't curse. If you dare to curse Chen Fang today, I should sit at your door and curse you!"
"Haha, Jia Zhang is such a person, you make money for her and she still scolds you, you are so heartless."
"Look at what happened to Sha Zhu and you will know that the Jia family is an ungrateful wretch."
Yan Bugui walked over and looked at Jia Zhang and said.
"Jia Zhang, please don't make trouble. The whole courtyard is talking about you. If you make trouble, the consequences will be very serious."
This is a community of interests. Now Chen Fang has aligned most of the interests with the Siheyuan. Neighborly affection is nonsense. Making money is king.
Whoever prevents the people in Siheyuan from making money is the enemy.
Jia Zhang was completely dumbfounded at this moment. Before she could say anything, a bunch of people jumped out to criticize her. She had become the public enemy of the entire hospital.
Under everyone's gaze, Jia Zhang didn't dare to say a word and ran away in shame, dragged away by the stick.
Chen Fang smiled and said to everyone, "Thank you all, let's get rich together in the future!"
This is why he had to recruit people in the Siheyuan. In Chen Fang's opinion, except for the first and second uncles of the Jia family, the other people in the Siheyuan could still be rescued.
This made everyone very happy and everyone spoke out.
"We have to thank Chen Fang for giving us a job even when we are idle at home."
"Ms. Jia Zhang is usually very arrogant, so we might as well teach her a lesson!" Now that Siheyuan's Shazhu is gone and the eldest master has stepped down, who would care about their Jia family?
"Haha, Chen Fang, you are our God of Wealth. We will make trouble for anyone who makes trouble for you!"
After hearing what everyone said, Jia Zhang from the Intermediate Court was so angry that her teeth started to hurt. She had to take several painkillers to bear the pain.
"Damn Chen Fang, he's so arrogant now that he has some money. And the people in the courtyard are the same. They all flatter Chen Fang. It's really hateful!" Banggeng said. He thought he was the representative of the young people in the Siheyuan. How could he be overshadowed by an outsider like Chen Fang? He really couldn't understand.
"My dear grandson, you are right. Don't learn from them in the future...what a joke!"
"Grandma, when I get rich, I will make them pay!"
Bang Geng said to Jia Zhang.
.......
"He Xiao, look, this is the courtyard house that mom always told you about."
"This is a quadrangle with three courtyards. I heard it was built during the Qing Dynasty. It is divided into the front courtyard, the middle courtyard, and the back courtyard. My mother lived in the back courtyard back then..."
At the gate of the courtyard, Lou Xiao'e held her son He Xiao's hand and looked at the courtyard, recalling the past with some emotion.
Lou Xiao'e was dressed very fashionably, wearing long boots and a black miniskirt, looking like a Miss Hong Kong in the movie.
He Xiao was also dressed like a young man, and their attire naturally attracted the attention of many passers-by. In that era, most people still wore blue-gray work clothes, and those with better conditions could wear a rag skirt, which was considered quite fashionable.
As they were talking, Lou Xiao'e took He Xiao into the front yard and went straight to the middle yard. They came back this time to find He Yuzhu, so where else could they go but the middle yard.
The third uncle who was watering the flowers in the front yard heard the noise and saw that it was Lou Xiao'e. He was stunned. He thought for a long time before he was sure that this was the former Lou Xiao'e. The change of Lou Xiao'e was very huge.
However, the person who offended Lou Xiao'e back then was not as bad as Yan Bugui, so he did not feel guilty. The people he should be afraid of should be Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong, but both of them are not around now.
He was probably here to find He Yuzhu. Although their affair was kept secret back then, who was he, Yan Bugui? He was a meticulous and calculating man, so how could this be hidden from him?
After a few years, this courtyard house is a bit dilapidated and naturally cannot be compared with the high-rise buildings in Hong Kong. It's a bit like two different worlds.
Lou Xiao'e was also filled with emotion. She came to the central courtyard and looked at He Yuzhu's house and fell into deep thought. She didn't even hear He Xiao's questions.
At this time, Chen Fang walked out from the backyard and was going to the company to do something, but he met Lou Xiaoe who had returned from Hong Kong.
"Boss Lou, why are you in this small courtyard?" Chen Fang asked knowingly, because Lou Xiao'e was originally from here.
"Hey, why are you here!"
Lou Xiao'e didn't expect to meet her partner in Hong Kong here. This is not Hong Kong, but Beijing, and it's a small courtyard.
"I bought a house here and opened several companies in Beijing...so I settled here."
