Five years of marriage, always separated [1970s]

If Yan Weining was cheating on her, or was eating, drinking and having fun in a disco, and Huihui caught him, it would be normal for Huihui to break up decisively. In this situation, if what Yan Weining said is true, Huihui is indeed too decisive.

Ye Fan asked: "Do you feel like playing house?"

Yu Wentao nodded: "His father is a government official, which is not a good reason to break up. No wonder Xiao Yan was so anxious to find you."

Ye Fan: "Hui Hui is so sudden, it must be because of what someone said."

"Who can make her so obedient?" Yu Wentao asked subconsciously, and couldn't help but look at Ye Fan after asking.

Ye Fan smiled bitterly: "Look, even you thought it was me."

"Your second brother and second sister-in-law are not that capable. I didn't do anything. The third brother hasn't been home recently. Who else in our family can make her behave obediently except you?"

Ye Fan: "Ask Huihui later."

Geng Huihui was free after five o'clock. She walked back and arrived home a little after six o'clock. The sun had not yet set and Ye Fan was in the company, but not in the office.

Ye Fan did not go to the office in the afternoon. She had been in the software development group, planning to install her own work software on her own computer. Although Ye Fan did not have time to work with her employees, she could give them some pointers based on what she had learned in her previous life.

The employees were so busy that they forgot about time. Ye Fan also forgot about it. The technical director was about to leave work when he heard a noise coming from the R&D office. He pushed open the door and saw that everyone was there, including an extra boss.

The director reminded Ye Fan to check the watch and let everyone go to eat first. She went downstairs with the employees. When she got to the first floor, she smelled the fragrance and was curious about the food in the cafeteria tonight, so she went in to take a look. You wouldn't know until you see it. Once you see it, you will be shocked. It's all employees from other companies. The cafeteria that can accommodate a hundred people now has forty or fifty people. If you don't know, you might think it's lunch. Employees from various departments have to continue working after lunch.

The bosses of other companies have mentioned to their employees that this building belongs to the boss of Fanhua on the fifth and sixth floors. Ye Fan rarely goes to the company, which makes the employees who are curious about her even more curious, so they often ask colleagues if they have seen the boss of Fanhua. After being asked so many times, colleagues can't help but be curious. Occasionally, when they meet a woman, they ask the front desk if she is your boss. It's not like Ye Fan doesn't go to the company, she will always be met by people. After a long time, almost everyone has seen her.

When everyone saw Ye Fan, they couldn't help but stop, and the extroverted employees greeted him as "Mr. Ye".

Ye Fan smiled and nodded slightly: "How is the food?"

"Great. Great value!"

Ye Fan: "Then you continue, I'll go to the kitchen to take a look."

The employee was stunned, then came to his senses and asked, "Boss Ye just said 'you?' Oh my god, that's too polite."

"Well, people in the capital are used to saying that. Don't worry about it." His colleague picked up a few green vegetables and couldn't help muttering, "The green vegetables are so delicious. Did they put something in them?"

The colleague who was greeting Ye Fan stepped on his foot and whispered, "Don't talk nonsense!"

"If you don't believe it, try it."

The other person tasted it and found it better than the ones made by his wife and mother. He asked, "How did you make it?" with a look of doubt.

Ye Fan's employee passed by the two men after getting his meal. He stopped when he heard them and rolled his eyes at them: "Lard."

They both exclaimed in unison: "Lard?!"

The employees wondered at their shock: “What happened to the lard?”

"Aren't they saying that the food used in the cafeteria is healthy? Why are they using lard?"

The employees were confused and suspected that what they said was not human: "Lard is unhealthy?"

"I see that people in foreign movies all use rapeseed oil. Forget about olive oil, I can't bear to buy it. But it shouldn't be difficult to buy some rapeseed oil, right?"

Unfortunately, this employee had been to Hong Kong with Ye Fan. When they went out to eat at a roadside stall at night, they saw the oil used by the roadside stalls and felt that there was a big gap between the mainland and Hong Kong. They sighed and said, "Even roadside stalls can afford to use rapeseed oil."

Ye Fan said nothing, but called Uncle Yu as soon as he got home and asked him to send a few kilograms of rapeseed oil and soybean oil. These two kinds of oil were squeezed by Uncle Yu from his own grain.

Ye Fan took it to the canteen and told the employees to use pure natural oil to cook in the future. At that time, they were still in a residential building. The meal was cooked by Han Dawei's wife. She was a good cook and the employees were looking forward to it. As a result, only half of the meal was left that day.

An employee from a small city had some of the cooking oil his family received from his rural relatives. He remembered that his mother would buy fatty meat to make oil, then mix it with rapeseed oil, cook it thoroughly, and then serve it out for cooking.

The next day, when Ye Fan arrived at the company, her employees asked her if her family did the same thing. Ye Fan said, "I said lard is good, but you won't believe me. You said rapeseed oil is good, but you have tried rapeseed oil without any additives. Why not ask alumni who studied medicine or chemistry?"

The school is not far from the company, and the hospital is also close to the company. Male employees often play basketball or table tennis with doctors and some alumni who stay in school.

Another basketball game, during the break, we talked about where to eat in the evening. At that time, the company only had one lunch, and dinner had to be prepared by oneself. The employee wanted to go to the night market stall, and suddenly thought of cooking oil, and asked the alumni whether lard or rapeseed oil was better. The alumni asked in return, which one is better, chicken eggs or duck eggs.

The employee couldn't answer, so he asked if lard was made from fat meat, and if he would get fat if he ate it often. The alumni looked at his bamboo-like body and said, "Fatness is not about what you eat, but how much you eat. If you eat three steamed buns and four vegetables for a meal and swim 20,000 meters, and you gain weight, I will be your family doctor and serve you for free for life. If you eat one steamed bun and two vegetables for a meal and sit still every day, and your metabolism slows down in two years, you will be my uncle if you don't develop horizontally!"

"Fuck you!" the employee cursed with a smile. From then on, he no longer felt envious when he saw something outside that was not available in the mainland.

After years of subtle influence from Ye Fan, her employees now look at things objectively. They admit that they are many years behind the outside world in the field of science and technology, but they will not think that the moon is rounder abroad than at home just because foreign countries are advanced in some aspects.

As other companies moved in, Ye Fan's employees felt that they had nothing to say to them. Some employees didn't understand what the problem was, but now this employee understood that they were just like the Western-worshiping selves a few years ago.

Having never been abroad, one naturally thinks that everything is good outside. After all, people will not promote the bad side of their own country. The employee did not laugh at the two people who were uninformed: "Science can prove that lard and rapeseed oil are just as healthy. Excessive consumption of both is not good. But don't worry about this. The canteen also needs to make money, so they won't put too much."

"Have you done any experiments?" asked the person behind the employee.

Ye Fan's employee turned around. He had never seen the other person before, so he was probably new from another company. "I have personally tested it. Also, how do you know there is no rapeseed oil in the cafeteria?"

"Have you been to the cafeteria? Isn't it said no admittance to outsiders?" The employee pointed at the words posted on the cafeteria door.

The employee suspected that he was full, but he hadn’t eaten yet, so he said directly: “Rapeseed oil is cheaper than lard.”

Everyone was speechless when they heard this. The purpose of businessmen is to make money. If rapeseed oil is cheap, even if it is not as delicious as lard, the canteen will use rapeseed oil.

Seeing the surprised looks on their faces, the employee shook his head slightly, "It's not pure lard either. The canteen uses a mixture of lard and rapeseed oil." He glanced at the two people who were chatting earlier, "The chef is the wife of my boss's classmate. She has cooked for us for several years. She started working in the canteen not just this year. In the past, she often cooked a dish for us to eat. It has always tasted the same over the years. Don't make random guesses. By the way, there are pure rapeseed oil sold on the street. If you want to reduce your intake, you can replace the oil at home with rapeseed oil."

Some people firmly believe that rapeseed oil is healthier than lard, and they actually buy a few pounds of rapeseed oil on weekends, preparing to have a good lunch at noon. However, every dish has an indescribable smell, like metal or plastic.

After half a month, there was still a lot of oil left. I couldn't hold on any longer, so I liked the food in the cafeteria more and more.

Having said that, when Ye Fan arrived at the canteen kitchen, he saw that every corner was very clean, there were no bugs in the rice, the sugar had not melted, and the oil cans were tightly covered. Ye Fan was very satisfied.

Han Dawei's wife said, "Sister Ye, you don't have to worry about hygiene issues, we can eat it ourselves."

Ye Fan: "I trust you to do your job. I don't trust wild rats. There are still a lot of wastelands around us, and there are not only rats but also wild cats in the wastelands. I'm worried that they will run out from the sewers. Now it's not just our company employees who come to the cafeteria to eat, but all the employees in this building come here. I can comfort our employees if they have stomach problems, but if they get into trouble, I'll sue you at best, or call the police at worst."

The canteen contractor is Han Dawei. His wife has been in the city for several years and already knows who is the legal person and who is responsible. Ye Fan is careful and attentive for the sake of his family. Han Dawei's wife realized this and couldn't help but hold Ye Fan's hand: "Thank you, Sister Ye. If you hadn't said it, I would have almost forgotten it."

Ye Fan said: "The cafeteria is a key area and you must be careful. If you see anyone suspicious, don't let him go. If he says he is an employee of this building, you must call to verify his name, appearance and height."

Han Dawei's wife nodded repeatedly.

Ye Fan: "There are still many empty offices now. When they are full, everyone will come to the cafeteria to eat. You can earn a penny for a bowl of porridge, and you can make a lot in a month."

Han Dawei's wife smiled.

Ye Fan patted her hands and whispered, "Don't be like some people who are short-sighted. Work hard, and when I have money to open a factory, I will give the factory cafeteria to you."

Han Dawei's wife's eyes lit up and she immediately thanked her.

Originally, Han Dawei's wife was reluctant to hire workers in order to earn more money. She and several workers fell asleep every day because they were tired. After hearing what Ye Fan said, she discussed with Han Dawei at night to hire four more people, earn less money, and be more relaxed. She could treat this job as a lifelong career and work until retirement. Although she has no pension, she can earn interest by depositing the money she earns in the bank.

Han Dawei used to hope to have a home in the city. Now he has paid off the money he borrowed to buy a house, and he also has a store. No matter how well his children study, they have not gone astray because they have been with their parents in the past few years and have their parents watching them every day. All of Han Dawei's wishes have come true, and he doesn't want to be too tired.

So the next morning he went back to his parents' home and asked if there were any real relatives. When his sister-in-law heard about this, she wanted to introduce her sister-in-law to the family.

Han Dawei said he was looking for a nanny for Ye Fan. When my sister-in-law heard about the term nanny, she thought of the maids and old women in the old society, so she replied, "Forget about the nanny."

There are many ordinary workers in the alley where Han Dawei's hometown is located, and some employees have been laid off this year. Han Dawei heard about this and went out to ask.

In the past, if one of the two-income families was laid off, the laid-off worker would not want to go to Ye Fan's home when he heard that it was far from her home in the northwest. Single-income families with elderly and children were worried that the only one who ate commercial grain would also be laid off, and then the family savings would be used up, and the whole family would either die or beg for food. Although there are many such families, not every woman in the family has the courage to be a nanny. In some families, the woman does not care about being a nanny, but the man does not allow her to go to save face. As a result, Han Dawei walked until his feet hurt before he found the three people.

Han Dawei first took them for a physical examination, then signed a contract with them, and finally took them to the company. He told them that although they could not go home often, they could take leave if there was something at home. Their wages would not be deducted if they took leave three times a month, and they could have weekends off like those in state-owned enterprises.

Several people felt cheated and asked him if he was not a nanny. Han Dawei told the truth: "If I say I want to work in the company, my sister-in-law can arrange for all her relatives who don't have jobs to come in."

What I mean is, what does it have to do with you?

Although the salary is not as high as being a nanny, the canteen provides food and accommodation, and you don't have to look at the host's face, just like working in a state-owned enterprise. Several people thought at the same time that no matter who asked, they should say they were nannies. If people found out that they were not nannies, they would say that Ye Fan saw that they performed well and asked them to work in the canteen.

That's a bit far-fetched.

When Ye Fan saw that the buns were delicious, she asked Han Dawei's wife to find her two lunch boxes, and she bought two lunch boxes of buns to take back.

The other company employees who came to the cafeteria on the first floor for the first time suspected that the food in the cafeteria was just good-looking, so they wanted to leave. But when they saw Ye Fan also eating in the cafeteria, they no longer hesitated.

Han Dawei's wife had been accompanying Ye Fan the whole time. When she saw several employees also wanted buns, she immediately stopped the money Ye Fan handed over. Ye Fan asked, "Are you treating me?"

"Of course! It's my duty." Han Dawei's wife laughed and teased, "You are the living signboard of our cafeteria."

Ye Fan smiled and put the money back into his bag: "Then I will come to the cafeteria to eat every day from now on."

Han Dawei's wife knew that she was very busy and it would be strange for her to come every day: "Okay."

Ye Fan smiled and went out with the lunch box.

At this time, those who did not work overtime had already left work, and there were not many bicycles on the road. Ye Fan did not get stuck in traffic along the way, and the buns were still hot when he got home.

Ye Fan handed one box to Geng Huihui and threw the other box into the refrigerator to have as breakfast tomorrow.

Geng Huihui picked one up: "Hey, the one with bean curd and vermicelli filling? The same as the ones sold at Uncle Dawei's breakfast shop?"

"I bought it in the cafeteria. Of course the taste is the same." Ye Fan then asked, "Aunt Yu, have you told her?"

Geng Huihui: "What are you talking about? Yan Weining came to see you? Really, I never noticed how hypocritical he was before. It's just a breakup."

Ye Fan: "Did Yan Weining come to see you at noon?"

Geng Huihui nodded: "I have looked for it."

"Did you chat too?"

"Chatted."

Seeing that she acted as if it had nothing to do with him, Ye Fan asked: "So, let's just let it go, or do we continue?"
