Chapter 242:
“My child also has a talent for being a chef; I thought he only knew how to eat.”
Shen Yunlian was a little excited. After the family’s conditions improved, her youngest son, Little Six, had gotten plump just by eating.
His appetite was even bigger than Jiaojiao’s.
Boss Hu said cheerfully, “Being able to eat is a blessing, a blessing.”
Yun Linhai quickly said, “Comrade Hu, please come sit. We are certainly willing to let Little Six learn cooking.”
The family was harmonious and joyful.
Finally, it was decided that to learn cooking, he would have to stay in the capital and learn by his side.
The Yun family members were immediately conflicted.
It wasn’t that they were unwilling, but rather that Yun Little Six wasn’t very old, and leaving him alone in the capital made them constantly worry about him.
Shen Yunlian asked her son, “Little Six, do you want to stay and learn?”
Their family was the type that respected their children’s opinions.
This applied to Yun Jiao and all their other children.
Yun Little Six was conflicted. He wanted to stay and learn cooking, but he also didn’t want to be separated from his family.
“If you want to learn, then stay.”
At this moment, Grandpa Yun, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
“You all go back; we two old ones will stay.”
Everyone’s gazes immediately turned towards him.
Yun Linhai: “But Dad, aren’t you…”
…planning to go to sea?
Grandpa Yun glanced at them: “We haven’t even bought the boat yet. Besides, as an old man, how much help can I be if I go to sea?”
Yun Linhe: “Dad, how can you say that? Your experience is very valuable to us.”
Grandpa Yun said, “You all go back first, and we old couple will stay to look after Little Six. If he adapts here in the future, we’ll see about returning.”
Once the decision was made, it was time for Yun Little Six’s apprenticeship.
Boss Hu sat on a chair, accepted the tea from his young apprentice, and beamed like a Maitreya Buddha.
“From today onwards, Yun Chenqi is my third disciple, Hu Laifu. You have two senior brothers before you, and I will introduce them to you later.”
He then put a red envelope into his hand.
Yun Little Six’s face immediately broke into a grin. He never expected to receive such a large red envelope!
“Okay, thank you, Master.”
Yun Xiao Qi watched with great envy.
Wait, do you get a red envelope just for finding a master?
Should he also find a master?
After seeing Boss Hu off, the Yun family members looked at Yun Little Six with curiosity one by one.
“Not bad, Little Six, you actually managed to find such an amazing master for yourself!”
The private kitchen restaurant that Old Wu took them to that day belonged to his master. Not only was the food delicious, but more importantly, it was expensive.
This was clearly a profitable endeavor.
They didn’t expect Yun Little Six to be too successful in the future, but from now on, with the skill of a chef, they wouldn’t have to worry about him not finding a job.
Yun Little Six scratched his head shyly as he was surrounded by his family.
“Hehe, I don’t know why Master took a liking to me.”
He hugged Yun Jiao: “Sister, just wait. Once I learn to cook, I’ll make delicious food for you every day!”
Yun Jiao grinned and stood on tiptoe to plant a kiss on his cheek.
The other older brothers immediately started clamoring.
Yun Little Five: “Jiaojiao, I want one too!”
Yun Xiao Qi immediately hugged Yun Jiao and refused to let go: “Sister, I want one too, you can’t play favorites.”
Yun Little Eight and Yun Little Nine looked at her expectantly.
Yun Jiao: …
Having too many older brothers was also a bit of a downside.
“Have you found anyone to rent the house?”
Seeing the children enjoying themselves harmoniously, the elders of the Yun family had smiles in their eyes.
Grandpa Yun asked his two sons about renting the house.
“We have.”
Yun Linhe nodded: “We went to the place Comrade Wu mentioned, and there were indeed many retired soldiers. Our house is large, and we offered a low rent, so many people were interested in renting it.”
The rent they offered was one hundred yuan per month.
Ten people were allowed to live there. The drawbacks of renting the house, such as the issue with the Chen family, were also explained to them, and since there was no furniture inside, they would have to prepare their own.
One hundred yuan a month, with ten people splitting the cost to live in such a large house, meant only ten yuan per person per month. In the capital, living in a siheyuan was already considered very cheap.
The siheyuan had its own well, and the courtyard could also be used for planting some vegetables, which would save them some money.
Of course, they couldn’t raise animals with strong smells.
Grandpa Yun smoked his pipe and nodded: “That’s good. When are they coming? Today those people from the Chen family went there again to find Chen Wei, but Comrade Wu helped resolve it. This can’t go on forever.”
“They’re coming tomorrow.”
The next morning, they welcomed the people who would rent the house.
They varied in height and build, carrying large bags. Their skin was a slightly darker wheat color, and their posture indicated they had undergone military training.
“Hello, comrades…”
After mutual greetings, Yun Linhe said, “We’ve explained the situation there to you clearly. Do you have any issues?”
“Rest assured, Comrade Yun, leave it to us to resolve.”
Two of them were quite large. One of them had a long, fierce scar on his face that resembled a centipede; just looking at him was intimidating.
The Yun family members were very satisfied and then led them to the four-courtyard siheyuan.
“The house is very large, and you can use the soil in the courtyard to plant vegetables. There are enough rooms. We haven’t tidied up much, so we’ll have to trouble you to clean it yourselves. Most importantly, don’t damage the house.”
All ten of them repeatedly assured them they would not damage the house.
They looked at the house with smiles in their eyes.
Ten yuan a month for a house like this was a great deal for them.
After they had put their luggage in their chosen rooms, there was a banging on the door from outside.
“Chen Wei, you little bitch, come out!”
“Chen Wei, get out here! Today we must move into this house. It’s completely gone too far; you refuse to listen when we talk nicely and force us, your relatives, to use force.
This house belongs to your parents; even if they were alive, they would have had the obligation to support their elders. You, a junior, are acting high and mighty. Don’t think you’re safe by hiding inside. Chen Wei, come out, quickly!”
This was moral kidnapping that failed, so they resorted to brute force.
The sound of the door being kicked could even be heard from outside.
The door was suddenly opened, and the Chen family’s youngest son, who was rushing to kick it, missed his footing.
“Ah!!!”
Hiss…
Whether it was the onlookers or the people inside, they all gasped at the sight of the Chen family’s youngest son caught in a split on the doorframe.
“Son, son, how are you? Does it hurt? Oh dear, is it still usable!”
“It hurts, it hurts…”
The Chen family’s youngest son clutched his crotch, his face turning red, almost purple.
“This has nothing to do with us. Everyone saw that he kicked the door himself.”
The Yun family members did not come forward, wanting to see how these people would deal with the Chen family.
To spectate, Yun Jiao climbed onto the wall and sat down.
