Chapter 403 The worldly atmosphere (81)
"Your grandpa can retire normally at that age and still enjoy the benefits. Besides, there are many people who are interested in his job."
Ms. Qi curled her lips and said, "Your aunt has been carrying a basket of vegetables back home every now and then in the past six months. Isn't it because she wants your grandfather to get her son-in-law into the restaurant? She doesn't want to be a waiter and wants to learn how to cook."
He is very arrogant. "He is just daydreaming."
Ms. Qi's words may be a bit vulgar, but they are also true.
Even though Grandpa Qi treats Yun Tinglan well, this is just an exception. He favors boys over girls, which is deep in his bones.
No matter how much Grandpa Qi scolds Uncle Qi, the secret recipes for backup will only be passed on to Uncle Qi, not Ms. Qi. Yun Tinglan has heard Grandpa Qi tell Qi Sheng more than once to find a college girlfriend, get married and have children as soon as possible so that he can help take care of them.
It is obvious what his plan is, he is waiting to pass on his cooking skills to his great-grandson.
Even Ms. Qi had to stand aside. It would be strange if Grandpa Qi would agree to anything like Aunt Qi, such an unpopular daughter.
In fact, it was true. Grandpa Qi scolded his stupid eldest daughter and left. He was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. It was so stupid that he didn't find a job for his own daughter, but instead found one for a bastard and a second-rate guy. He was simply out of his mind.
They say a woman's job is to take care of her husband and children. Damn it, she was totally fooled by her husband and mother-in-law.
There's no hope for him. He doesn't look like his Qi family at all.
Here, Grandpa Qi was busy selling his work and counting his small treasury when Yun Changshan came to visit.
For what?
Grandpa Qi knew it at a glance and wanted to ask his daughter when she would come back. It was impossible for her to come back. He wished he could grow wings and fly to Beijing.
Thinking of what the 11th National Congress of the Three Masses mentioned on the radio, that the focus of work will be shifted to competitive construction and the implementation of openness in the future, he felt very excited.
Yun Changshan came with hope, but left disappointed. Before leaving, he did not forget to ask Grandpa Qi when he was leaving. Grandpa Qi thought he was going to take something with him, so he nodded and said, "I'll tell you when I leave."
Then we saw Yun Changshan carrying a luggage bag, followed by Yun Chuan and Yun Hu, who also had bags in their hands.
Yun Changshan coughed lightly and said, "I'll go see the children."
Grandpa Qi did not expose the truth, but looked at Yunchuan and Yunhu behind him. Are these two kids going there too? He knew about the troubles in his daughter's family and he did not like these two grandsons.
In the minds of the older generation, being unfilial is a great sin. If they treat their own parents like that, then he, their grandfather, is nothing.
Yun Changshan quickly said, "They are just helping to carry things."
The train was already leaving when Yunhu suddenly asked loudly, "Dad, are you guys coming back for the New Year?"
"No! I'll be a slave if I go back!" Ms. Qi refused firmly, putting her things away without stopping. "You can stay here for the New Year too. I'll buy two new sets of clothes for my parents, and you can take them back when you leave."
In the past, when we were short of food and clothing, we would think about the New Year and prepare a feast, with good wine and delicious food, and feel happy. Now that we have enough food and drink, we go back and get together to stare at each other.
Rather than facing her two troublesome sons, she would rather stay with her daughter. When she heard the man asking about her daughter and son-in-law, Ms. Qi was beaming with joy and looked very proud.
"My little sister is really promising. I heard from Xiaojin that the book on Chinese medicine preparation that she compiled has been included in the Ministry of Health and will be printed in large quantities. Maybe it will become a holy book for medical students in the future."
This statement was certainly exaggerated, but Yun Changshan was still happy to hear it.
"You're so close, but you don't have time to come back for dinner?" Seeing that it was already dark and his daughter and son-in-law had not returned yet, Yun Changshan was a little disappointed and couldn't help looking into the yard.
"Do you think I was just trying to fool you when I said I couldn't get away? These two kids are working harder than the other, and they want to stay in the lab. The younger sister is better, she lives close to me, and I can bring her food every day. Xiaojin is in the research institute, and she hasn't been back for six days..."
As they were talking, Grandpa Qi's laughter came from the yard. Ms. Qi opened the door and saw that her daughter and son-in-law had also returned.
How did they get together? "Dad, weren't you going to have a candlelight chat with grandpa-in-law? Why did you come back with my little sister and the others?" The two old men were muttering to each other, thinking she was in the way. But she knew what was going on; he just wanted to open a restaurant.
She felt that the current situation was unclear, so she might as well follow her and help take care of the meals for the faculty and staff. The old man was used to cooking for the big pot, and with him around, meals could be arranged for the morning and evening.
Good news! Great news. Grandpa Qi touched his round belly and told her the story. Ms. Qi was so shocked that her chopsticks dropped to the ground. "Running a canteen? Isn't this a self-employed business? Is it appropriate?"
Everyone only dares to come secretly. If we make such a big fuss, what if the situation changes again, won’t they be caught in?
"Nonsense, we are cooperating with the school and registering under the school's name. It belongs to the collective industry. At most, we are employed by the school." Grandpa Qi glared.
Aren't they essentially the same? Ms. Qi grumbled in her heart, but she didn't refute it. She had also changed her mind. With the school as a banner, she could let go and do a great job.
"Not really, there are only three windows." Yun Tinglan took over the conversation, "It can be considered an attempt, mainly because many people complained that the food was bad." The group is the faculty and staff that Ms. Qi has come into contact with.
Generally speaking, this is not something to discuss.
But last month, Yun Tinglan was invited to the polio research center to assist them in developing a new type of vaccine. She borrowed the production method of traditional Chinese medicine pills and helped them successfully develop a polio vaccine sugar pill.
The original liquid coated seedlings were inconvenient to store and transport, and had a weird taste that many children were unwilling to eat. The new sugar pills perfectly solved these problems.
Judging from the feedback we have received so far, these milk-flavored candy beans are very popular among children.
The news didn't spread, but the school leaders knew what they needed to know.
Last week, the president of the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine came to poach people in person, and his words implied, "Don't worry, as long as you agree, I will take care of the transfer. You are a student of our College of Traditional Chinese Medicine..."
Before he could finish his words, he was pulled away by the Vice-President of Peking University who came rushing over. From the exchange between them, it was clear that the two were old acquaintances, and they held each other's hands affectionately and were reluctant to let go.
She guessed that he was just concerned about his image and couldn't lose face as a teacher in front of her, otherwise there would be an elegant war of words between scholars.
When they left, the two were still holding hands, fearing that the other would not want to go, which seemed like a fake smile.
So, this is a very interesting matter.
I heard that the school held a special meeting for this purpose, which meant that a few windows could be opened for trial, but if there were any changes on the front or side, the process would have to be stopped immediately.
Of course, what is said to the outside world is that Grandpa Qi and his colleagues are temporary workers hired by the school.
Yun Tinglan originally wanted to lend the shop in front of the courtyard to Grandpa Qi to open a restaurant, so that they could form a partnership and earn some pocket money by taking a ride.
But some people just won't stop.
This person is none other than Wang Hongjun.
This man has no bottom line. He can use the fact that Ms. Qi sold meals to faculty and staff to threaten her once, and he might do it a second time. Yun Tinglan naturally won't give him a chance.
