Ran Qiu Ye actually came. She came with her parents, a family of three.
The family hosting the banquet had a close relationship with them, the two families were very close.
Ran Qiu Ye not only came, but also came early to help.
“Master, if you need anything, just tell me.” Ran Qiu Ye walked over and said to He Yu Zhu.
“No, no work. We can handle it.” He Yu Zhu said.
Ran Qiu Ye was dumbfounded, she didn't know what to do.
Yang Xuan smiled and said: “These vegetables, you can wash them and bring them over. We need to cut them. Just the two of us, we are a little busy.”
Ran Qiu Ye happily took the vegetables to wash.
In these days, hosting a banquet was not an easy task. First of all, it was not easy to get meat coupons. But this family prepared a lot of meat. They must have gotten it from the black market.
It shows that this family has a simple background. Ordinary people would not dare to openly get meat coupons.
“Yang Xuan, since Ran teacher's relatives are so wealthy, do you think I can date Ran teacher?” He Yu Zhu said worriedly.
“Silly Zhu, think about it, since Ran teacher's family is so well-off, why is she still single now?” Yang Xuan asked.
“Why?” He Yu Zhu couldn't understand.
Yang Xuan smiled: “In our courtyard, Lou Xiao E's family and your family were once directors of our steel mill, but why did Lou Xiao E marry Xu Da Mao? Do you think Xu Da Mao deserves Lou Xiao E?”
He Yu Zhu shook his head: “How could he deserve her? With Xu Da Mao's character, he deserves to be a bachelor.”
Yang Xuan smiled, thinking, Silly Zhu, you're the one who's going to be a bachelor!
“But why did Lou Xiao E still marry Xu Da Mao?” Yang Xuan asked.
“How would I know?” He Yu Zhu shook his head.
Yang Xuan said: “It's because Lou Xiao E's family is really too good. Their background is so high, the daughter of a big capitalist. Who would dare to marry her? Only Xu Da Mao, who can't find a wife, would dare.”
He Yu Zhu nodded: “Xu Da Mao thought he had found a treasure.”
Yang Xuan said: “Ran teacher's family is also very well-off, she came back from a foreign country and has overseas connections. Who with conditions would dare to marry her? Silly Zhu, are you afraid of getting entangled?”
He Yu Zhu laughed: “What do I have to be afraid of? My family is a peasant, as long as I can find a good partner, I'll dare to marry anyone, no matter how high their status.”
“That's right. Are you still worried that you're not good enough for Ran teacher now?” Yang Xuan asked.
A smile appeared on He Yu Zhu's face: “You put it this way, I feel relieved.”
“Don't get too happy, your current situation, it's not certain if you can catch Ran teacher's eye.” Yang Xuan said.
“Why?” He Yu Zhu asked puzzled.
“Because Ran teacher hasn't reached that stage yet, so, don't rush things. But don't be discouraged. Just get to know her for now.” Yang Xuan said.
Ran teacher wasn't very quick at doing things, after all, she hadn't done much housework.
“By the way, are you a teacher at Hong Xing Elementary School?” He Yu Zhu asked Ran Qiu Ye, using the advice Yang Xuan gave him to get close to her.
Ran Qiu Ye asked in surprise: “How? Are you a student's parent?”
He Yu Zhu's face turned black, am I that old?
Yang Xuan almost burst out laughing, Ran teacher is really cute!
“No, I don't have a partner yet.” He Yu Zhu said dejectedly.
“Oh, sorry.” Ran Qiu Ye covered her mouth with a smile, sticking out her tongue.
“The Third Master in our courtyard, Yan Bu Gui, is a teacher at your school.” He Yu Zhu said.
“Teacher Yan.” Ran Qiu Ye nodded.
“There's also a child named Jia Geng in our courtyard, he seems to be in your class. I saw you do a home visit to his house before.” He Yu Zhu said.
“Hmm, I think I have a bit of an impression. Jia Geng's family owes tuition fees every semester. I remember at the end of last semester when I went to collect tuition fees, it was you who paid for them.” Ran teacher seemed to recall something.
“We are all neighbors in the courtyard. Their family is indeed in trouble. I saw you patiently persuading them that day, I couldn't bear to see you come all the way for nothing. It's not easy for you teachers. You also have to collect tuition fees from students who owe money.” He Yu Zhu said.
Ran Qiu Ye also sighed: “Actually, we are also very difficult. Some families are really in trouble. But the school also has to pay the teachers' salaries. If students owe tuition fees, the teachers' salaries won't be paid. Our salaries are not high, and many teachers' families are also in trouble.”
“That's right.” He Yu Zhu said, “Actually, those of us who work in the factory are a little better. Take me for example, I work as the head chef in the steel mill, my monthly salary is over thirty or forty yuan. The factory is also doing well. There is no worry about not being able to pay salaries.”
Ran Qiu Ye said enviously: “You workers are really lucky. Your salaries are so high.”
“That guy's salary is even higher. He's an engineer, over a hundred yuan a month.” He Yu Zhu pointed at Yang Xuan and said.
“So high? It's almost equal to the wages of our family of three.” Ran Qiu Ye looked at Yang Xuan in surprise.
“Don't look at him being an engineer, he's only sixteen years old this year. He worked as an apprentice in the factory for a few months and was directly recognized as an engineer.” He Yu Zhu said.
Ran Qiu Ye heard that Yang Xuan was only sixteen years old, her eyes showed a touch of sadness. The age difference was too big.
“This guy is about ten years younger than me, next month his salary will be almost three times mine!” He Yu Zhu slightly reduced the age difference between him and Yang Xuan.
Ran Qiu Ye's monthly salary was only over twenty, she said dejectedly: “It's five times my monthly salary.”
“Don't look at him being an engineer, his cooking skills are even better than mine. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked him to help.” He Yu Zhu said.
“Then he's willing?” Ran Qiu Ye asked.
He Yu Zhu laughed: “There's no way, he's my good brother. Although I'm much older than him, we have a very good relationship.”
He Yu Zhu was already very talkative, and now with Yang Xuan behind the scenes giving him a small script, he quickly became familiar with Ran Qiu Ye.
After the banquet ended, the two chefs, Yang Xuan and He Yu Zhu, and those who helped ate some of the leftover food.
“Your cooking is really good. This is the first time I've tasted such delicious food.” Ran Qiu Ye was very impressed with the two of them.
“It's okay, after all, I make a living from this. We are friends now, if you're craving something, you can call me anytime, I'll go to your house and cook a meal for you to satisfy your cravings.” He Yu Zhu said.
“Then we have a deal. I'll call you then, don't refuse.” Ran Qiu Ye said.
“Definitely won't refuse. I'll definitely come. But I don't know about this guy.” He Yu Zhu said.
Yang Xuan laughed: “As long as I'm free, I'll definitely come too.”
On the way home, He Yu Zhu patted Yang Xuan on the shoulder: “Brother, I thank you for this.”
He Yu Zhu stuffed all the money for the banquet into Yang Xuan's hands: “This time, I won't take the money, brother. You take it all.”
Yang Xuan stuffed it back: “Take it yourself. Isn't Yu Shui going home to get living expenses? Your salary hasn't been paid, what will you give to Yu Shui?”
“Alright, consider it a loan from you, I'll pay you back when I get my salary.” He Yu Zhu said.
“Forget it. Next month I'll be getting an engineer's salary. Do I need your little bit of money?” Yang Xuan said disdainfully.
