Siheyuan: God rewards hard work and makes life better

He Yushui cooked some rice porridge, steamed a few buns, and called her brother to eat.

"Brother, who are you angry with again? Could it be that Xu Damao has offended you again?"

Sha Zhu had a gloomy face and said nothing. She didn't want to embarrass herself in front of her sister.

Suddenly, Banggeng’s crying and shouting came from the next room, startling both the brother and sister.

It turned out that Jia Dongxu went to the hospital after get off work and took Banggeng home after seeing that his wife was in stable condition. Thinking of the big trouble he had caused, he had to teach him a lesson.

"Ah! I know I was wrong... Ouch! It hurts... Hiss!"

Although Jia Dongxu felt a little bit reluctant to hear his son's cries of pain, he had to teach his son a lesson, so he hardened his heart and continued to spank his son's butt.

"Woo woo! Dad, I really don't dare anymore."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The neighbors didn't take it seriously. What child isn't naughty? A beating would make him behave himself.

Everyone was more curious about what happened yesterday. Why did Qin Huairu suddenly give birth prematurely? Could it be related to the Bang Geng?

Fortunately, Jia Dongxu knew his limits and stopped after beating the man.

"Banggeng, will you dare to be naughty again next time?" Jia Dongxu asked sternly.

Bang Geng shrank his body, feeling the pain on his buttocks, and said quickly: "Dad, I won't dare to do it again next time, I won't dare to do it again!"

Jia Dongxu nodded with satisfaction, turned and went into the kitchen to cook.

"Woo woo! Dad is bad, grandma, please come back and save me."

Chapter 10 The news spreads

After dinner, Pei Guang went out with his bathing supplies and clean clothes. When he passed by Xu's house, he was caught by Xu Damao.

"Xiao Guang, go take a shower. I'll keep you company."

Pei Guang responded. Although Xu Damao's character was not very good, at least he would not provoke others for no reason.

In comparison, Shazhu is even more annoying. He offends people with his foul mouth without even realizing it.

When they walked out of the courtyard, the bathing team expanded again, and Liu Guangqi, Liu Guangtian, and Yan Jiechengdu joined in.

This made Pei Guang quite uncomfortable. He had never even been to a bathhouse, let alone being with so many people.

The thought of showing my naked butt in front of so many people gives me a chill.

"Alas! Now that we have traveled through time, we can only follow the local customs."

After walking for about three minutes, we arrived at Qinghua Pond near the courtyard.

Each person paid a bathing ticket and seven cents, which included fuel and water costs.

After paying the money, I went to the locker room, took off my clothes and put them in the locker.

Xu Damao, who was standing by, took a casual glance and found that the thin figure before was gone, and the bulging muscles outlined subtle muscle lines.

I looked down at his capital and compared it with my own, and felt ashamed.

Liu Guangqi also noticed this and said in surprise: "Xiao Guang, you are much stronger now. You must have exercised regularly."

"Hehe! I was too weak before, and I didn't have any masculinity at all. I have to exercise more."

Xu Damao and Liu Guangqi were shocked by his change, but then they realized that they were indeed effeminate and began to think about exercising themselves.

Several people put on slippers and came to the bathroom with towels on their backs. Looking around, there was a large bathtub, about one meter deep, and many people were already soaking in it.

There was a layer of soap foam floating in the water, and the smell was not good, it was the stinking smell of sulfur soap mixed with the smell of smoking, it was really awful.

Looking at the chaos inside, even though I have seen such scenes in my memory, it is still a little hard to adapt.

The water in the bathhouse is only changed once a day, and it is the dirtiest at night. Pei Guang had no choice but to bite the bullet and go in.

I lifted my feet and put them in the water to feel the temperature, then immersed my body in the water, trying my best to adapt myself to the environment.

The suitable water temperature made him relax, and the pores all over his body opened up, giving him a drowsy feeling.

After soaking for about ten minutes, Xu Damao's voice came from the side, "Xiao Guang, let's rub each other's body."

Pei Guang didn't have this habit, so he waved his hand and said, "Brother Damao, I'll let the bath master do it later."

"Sure! Today is a great day, so I'll let the master rub it for me."

The two of them soaked for a while, then got up and walked to the wooden bed next to them, waiting for the service of the bath master.

Liu Guangqi and his friends were probably used to being frugal, so they started rubbing each other's balls in the pool.

Xu Damao enjoyed the service comfortably, saying, "Xiao Guang, you've become rich recently, how can you afford to hire a master to scrub your body?"

There is nothing to hide about the grading. Maybe someone in the hospital already knows about it.

"Hey! How can I make money? I just became an eighth-level chef in the factory. It's a rare opportunity for me to indulge myself."

Xu Damao opened his eyes wide and sat up from the bed. "Xiao Guang, what did you say? You became an eighth-level chef in the factory?"

The two bath scrubbers were equally shocked. The young man in front of them looked less than 20 years old, but he was actually an eighth-level chef!

Pei Guang shrugged and said calmly, "The grade was just assessed today, so maybe the news hasn't spread yet."

"This... Weren't you a kitchen helper before? How come you suddenly became an eighth-level chef?" Xu Damao still looked unconvinced.

"It's because my cooking skills have improved recently that this happened. Now I've been transferred to the third cafeteria."

Xu Damao's eyes lit up. Pei Guang was so young but his level was higher than Sha Zhu's. He had to mock him.

Xu Damao didn't care how Pei Guang practiced his cooking skills. Sha Zhu had always boasted about his cooking skills. Now let's see if he still has the nerve to say such things.

The bath scrubber seemed to have thought of something and said in surprise: "Young Master, my nephew is planning to hold a wedding banquet this weekend, and the chef has not yet been decided."

"Can you please leave me your contact address so I can go back and ask my brother for his opinion?"

Pei Guang was overjoyed. He was just thinking about making more money, but he didn't expect good things to come to him.

After revealing his identity as a chef in the third canteen of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, he left him the address of the courtyard house.

Xu Damao was not envious when he saw this, because the projectionist's benefits were not bad and the job was much more decent.

After scrubbing their bodies, they rinsed again, put on their clothes and left the bathhouse.

After returning to the courtyard, Xu Damao couldn't wait to come to Sha Zhu's house.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Who?"

When Sha Zhu opened the door and found his mortal enemy, his face immediately turned unhappy.

"Xu Damao, what do you want from your Master Zhu?"

Xu Damao was not angry either, and said cheerfully: "Shazhu, I heard that Pei Guang became an eighth-level chef, what level are you now!"

When Shazhu heard this, he had no idea what was going on. It was obvious that he came here to mock him.

"Xu Damao, I think you're looking for a beating, right? I'm going to loosen your bones for you now."

Xu Damao quickly took a few steps back and said, "Silly Zhu, I'm going to talk to you nicely. If you dare to do anything, I'll go to the police station and sue you."

"Tsk, are you missing an arm or a leg? At most I can compensate you for your medical expenses."

Xu Damao immediately got scared, and he ran towards home while shouting, "Silly Zhu, that's all you are capable of. Pei Guang is better than you."

"I bother!"

Sha Zhu was immediately furious, but if the matter became a big deal he would lose face, so he had to endure it for the time being.

"His grandma's!"

Sha Zhu cursed inwardly and closed the door angrily. The thought of being suppressed by a young man made him feel suffocated.

In the evening, with Xu Damao's publicity, the whole compound knew about this matter.

The wealthy families didn't react much, they were just a little surprised.

Several residents in need thought of their children and had some ideas. Cook, one of the eight major workers, was a popular profession. It was said that even in a famine, a cook would never starve to death. It would be nice to let their children learn a skill.

People of the same age like Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangtian were greatly stimulated. The sudden emergence of such outstanding people in the hospital made them, who were unemployed, feel very embarrassed.

Yan Fugui was thinking about this matter at the moment. His eldest son just graduated from junior high school this year and was worried about not being able to find a job.

"Mother, what do you think about letting Jie Cheng be a chef?"

The two had been married for many years, so it was clear to the third aunt that she didn't know what he was thinking. "I think this is a good idea. Old Yan, find a chance to talk to Sha Zhu about it."

Yan Fugui shook his head. "I have to ask Pei Guang for help. I don't know if Sha Zhu's bad temper will get back at me."

Chapter 11 Discussing the Seat

After Yan Fugui and his wife had reached an agreement, they asked Yan Jiecheng for his opinion, but he was still a little reluctant.

"Dad, Pei Guang is only two years older than me. It's not appropriate for me to take him as my teacher."

Yan Fugui's face changed, "Humph! If you have the ability, do you need me to ask others for help?"

Yan Jiecheng's face immediately fell. Thinking about what he had experienced in the past few months since graduation, he gritted his teeth and agreed.

"That's more like it. They may not even accept you."

Yan Fugui said this as he walked towards Pei's house carrying a bucket containing two small fish he had caught in the afternoon.

Pei Guang opened the door and saw Yan Fugui, and was a little confused.

"Xiao Guang, I heard that you became an eighth-level chef in the factory, and the third uncle came here specially to congratulate you." Yan Fugui said as he handed over the bucket.

As the saying goes, you should never hit a smiling person. Pei Guang smiled and said, "Thank you for making this special trip. You should take the fish back."

Pei Guang didn't dare to accept this situation. He knew that with Yan Fugui's character, he probably had something to ask for.

"Xiao Guang, you also know that Jie Cheng has not found a job since graduation. I wonder if you have any thoughts on taking him as your apprentice."

Sure enough!

"Third uncle, I am still so young, how can I be qualified to accept an apprentice?"

"If Jie Cheng wants to learn cooking, he should go and ask Sha Zhu for his opinion."

Yan Fugui smiled and said, "How can Shazhu's cooking skills compare to yours? And you also know his bad temper."

"Third Uncle, at this stage I am still focusing on improving my cooking skills and will not consider taking in apprentices for the time being."

Pei Guang really had no intention of taking in any apprentices, nor did he plan to work in the catering industry in the future. Moreover, the Yan family was known for their calculating nature, and who knows, they might plot against him one day.

Seeing how decisive he was, Yan Fugui shook his head and went home helplessly.

Yan Jiecheng waited in the house for a long time, and when he saw his father finally come back, he hurriedly asked about the situation.

Yan Fugui sighed, "Xiao Guang said he has no intention of accepting a disciple. I'll find a chance to ask Sha Zhu."

Yan Jiecheng's face froze. He had only said it before. If he could really become a chef, he would be willing to have Wawa as his master.

When I think about Sha Zhu's personality, there's a 99% chance that this won't work.

"Xiao Guang, you're really something. After all, we've been neighbors for so many years, and you don't even give you this little face." The third aunt said dissatisfiedly.

Yan Fugui did not reply, but quietly thought about how to deal with Sha Zhu.

The next morning, when Pei Guang went out to work, he found that his neighbors had become more enthusiastic. He knew that this was a change brought about by strength.

When we arrived at the factory, everything was going on as usual.

After asking Master Sun for his opinion, Pei Guang directly took on the task of cooking, striving to improve his cooking skills as soon as possible.

Master Sun was naturally happy about this. He could get paid for free without having to work. Where else could he find such a good thing?

After knowing that Pei Guang would take over his position, he explained the future work content in detail without hiding anything!

[Ding! You practiced your cooking skills seriously, your cooking proficiency +4]

At this point, several kitchen helpers completely believed in his abilities and served him tea and water, attentively in the hope of gaining his favor.
