Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Wang Dong pressed his hands together and waited until everyone was quiet before speaking: "Everyone, focus your attention..."

"What I am about to report to you may very well be related to your future and personal development. I hope you all listen carefully."

"After a few months of development... Dongjun Restaurant's daily turnover has been rising rapidly, and this is inseparable from everyone's hard work and dedication."

"Everyone should be able to see this from the salary and bonus they receive every month."

“In view of this, I decided to open a branch in the south and east of the city.

The Chengnan branch will open in half a month."

"I basically recruit ordinary employees in the street where the hotel is located. Of course, as long-term employees of our hotel, if you have relatives who don't have jobs, you can introduce them to me."

"But if a new restaurant wants to get on track quickly, it can't just have new employees, it also needs a certain number of experienced employees to lead them."

"So I decided to select dozens of employees from among you to work in the South City branch."

"Considering that many employees live near the hotel, it would be inconvenient for them to go to work in the south of the city. So I built a row of dormitories for employees in the south of the city so that those who cannot go home can sleep in the hotel."

"But I won't force you to go...you all sign up first, and I will select some of the employees who have signed up to work at the Chengnan branch based on their performance in the restaurant."

"in addition……"

"I, Wang Dong, will never mistreat my employees."

"All employees who actively sign up and are selected to work at the Chengnan branch will be promoted from ordinary waiters to team leaders, team leaders to deputy managers, and deputy managers to managers."

"The kitchen is a place where skills speak louder than words, so just because of a change of work location, the general chef is promoted to sous chef, and the sous chef is promoted to chef..."

"To encourage the chefs in the kitchen to go to the Chengnan branch to help until the Chengnan branch gets back on track."

"During the period of helping out at the South City branch, ordinary chefs will receive a subsidy of 20 yuan per month, sous chefs will receive a subsidy of 30 yuan per month, chefs will receive a subsidy of 40 yuan per month, sous chefs will receive a subsidy of 50 yuan per month, and chefs will receive a subsidy of 60 yuan per month. This will last for three months... I hope everyone will take the initiative to sign up..."

"Kitchen helpers, vegetable cutters, and food preparers can also sign up..."

"While I was helping the South City branch, I was given a basic salary subsidy of 10 yuan per month."

"I'll give you three days to think about it..."

"We will no longer accept applications after three days..."

…………

The west wing in the front yard of the quadrangle.

The atmosphere in the main room was very depressing. Looking at the two daughters-in-law who hurried back at the door, Yan Fugui did not look happy at all.

A few days ago, Yan Fugui somehow found out the real father-in-law of his two daughters-in-law at Dongjun Hotel.

Yan Fugui always thought that the two people only earned more than 30 yuan in the restaurant, so he agreed to ask them only 10 yuan per month for their retirement.

After asking, I found out that the two daughters-in-law earned more than 90 yuan per month at Dongjun Hotel. If they were lucky, they could even get more than 100 yuan.

With such a high salary, the old couple is only given ten yuan per month for pension. This is clearly like treating beggars.

That evening, Yan Fugui told his two daughters-in-law what he had investigated and asked them to hand over half of their salary to their family every month and keep the other half.

But as soon as this idea was put forward, it was strongly opposed by the two sons and two daughters-in-law.

Yan Fugui felt that his position as the head of the Yan family was challenged, and for several days he was not nice to his two sons and daughters-in-law. He even forbade his daughters-in-law to cook for his two sons, in order to force his two sons and daughters-in-law to compromise.

As a result, several days passed, and Yan Fugui did not see his two sons and daughter-in-law compromise. Tonight, Yan Fugui decided to put some more pressure on them.

If the two daughters-in-law do not agree to hand over half of their wages, starting tomorrow they will no longer help the two sons take care of their children.

In Yan Fugui's view, his son and daughter-in-law both have to go to work, and no one will take care of their children except Yan Fugui and his wife.

As long as he took out this trump card, the two daughters-in-law would definitely give in and give him money obediently.

As he thought about it, Yan Fugui couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. He was very excited and at the same time full of expectations for his future.

The monthly salary of my two daughters-in-law is around 100 yuan, and half of it is 100 yuan.

Add to that the several dozen yuan I deduct from my living expenses and my own salary... I can save at least one hundred and fifty yuan a month.

It’s higher than Yi Zhonghai’s monthly salary back then.

You can save about two thousand yuan a year.

After a few years, the old couple no longer have to worry about their retirement money.

Seeing that both daughters-in-law were seated, Yan Fugui quickly suppressed his inner excitement and said with a serious expression: "Tonight our family meeting is still about the same issue we had a few days ago."

"Since you are living with us old couple now and have not separated, then you should hand over the salary you earn every month to your family."

"It's already very good that I only ask you to hand over half of your salary..."

"You must agree to this..."

"Otherwise, starting tomorrow, your mother will no longer help take care of the children."

When Yan Fugui said the last sentence, the faces of the eldest brother Yan Jiecheng and the second brother Yan Jiefang changed.

Both of them have to go to get off work and come home on time. If Yan Fugui doesn't help take care of the children, do they have to quit their jobs and go home to take care of the children alone?

But I am reluctant to ask them to hand over 50 yuan in salary every month.

An expression of hesitation and struggle immediately flashed across his face.

Deep down, I feel nothing but hatred for Yan Fugui.

He is his own child's grandfather, but for money, even his grandson became his target of calculation.

Seeing her husband's face full of pain and not knowing what to decide, the eldest daughter-in-law Zhang Juan suddenly had a bold idea in her mind.

He said decisively: "Dad..."

"This matter is too big..."

"I want to discuss this with Jie Cheng outside..."

Yan Fugui thought he had found the weak points of his two sons and daughters-in-law, and he was very proud of himself. When faced with the requests of his daughters-in-law, he subconsciously thought that they would compromise.

I answered with confidence: "You can discuss it at will..."

"But you must give me an answer before you go to bed..."

"If you don't agree to pay this money, you will take care of the child by yourselves starting tomorrow... Whether you take a leave or resign, it has nothing to do with us old couple anyway." (End of this chapter)
