Chapter 56 My mother-in-law asked me to be a cafeteria cook.



Besides, I spent a lot of money on this baby's birth, so it doesn't matter if we don't have this traditional first birthday celebration; I don't care.

Fortunately, the family has separated now, otherwise she would worry that when she goes back home, her grandmother will scold her severely.

"Wife, you are always so understanding, I don't know what to say."

The time for the baby's first birthday celebration has already passed, so it's no longer appropriate to hold it.

Here's what I'm thinking: we've missed the traditional first birthday celebration, but I'll hold a proper first birthday party for our daughter later.

Let's invite all the villagers over and have a lively celebration, what do you think?

No matter what, we can't let our Tangtang suffer.

"Okay, whatever you say."

Liu Sulan agreed immediately without hesitation.

"Okay, let's agree on this."

Then I'll head back. My family is moving today, so I can't stay here all the time.

You sleep with the baby, but when she wakes up, you can't sleep anymore.

Although I haven't experienced the hardships of raising children myself, I've seen them in other places.

"Okay, I'll take a nap too. When you go back, ride your bike slowly and be careful."

Liu Sulan nodded and reminded the man to be careful.

"Get some rest, I'm leaving."

Yu Chengyuan stood up, cupped his wife's beautiful face in his hands, kissed her luscious lips, and then reluctantly left the room, closing the door behind him.

As soon as he came out, he saw his father-in-law and mother-in-law sitting on the sofa.

One is reading a newspaper, and the other is knitting a sweater. They are clearly children, probably knitting for a baby.

Because the weather will get colder in a few months.

"Father-in-law and mother-in-law, I'm going back now. I'll come to see you again another day."

Yu Chengyuan planned to say goodbye to his parents-in-law and then go home.

"Xiaoyu, wait a minute, I have something to tell you."

Weng Hong stopped what she was doing and put the yarn in the empty space on the sofa next to her.

Then she said to her husband, "Old Liu, bring over the things I prepared. I'll have Xiao Yu take them back later."

Liu Jianguo nodded, went to the kitchen and brought back a hand-woven double-eared vegetable basket, placing it on the coffee table.

"Okay, go ahead."

Yu Chengyuan sat to the side, listening to his mother-in-law speak, wondering what else she wanted to say to him. Was it going to be about work again?

"The dish you made today was really good!"

I have an idea, and I'd like to hear your thoughts.

She and her husband had just discussed it again and felt that they should ask for their son-in-law's thoughts and opinions, as this would show more respect.

"Mother-in-law, please speak. I am all ears!"

Yu Chengyuan said respectfully.

"Your cooking is so delicious, I wonder if you would like to work in the cafeteria?"

Either the school cafeteria or our hospital cafeteria will do.

Their salaries may not be as high as those of cadres, nor as high as those of regular employees.

You might only be a temporary worker at first, but if you do well, Lao Liu and I will try to help you get promoted to a permanent position within three months.

Temporary workers earn 60 yuan a month, but once they become permanent employees, they earn 70 yuan a month.

"If we stay longer, we might get housing allocations later."

Weng Hong was thinking of getting her son-in-law into a job first, and then finding a job for her daughter once Tangtang started kindergarten. The couple's combined income would be over a hundred, and life would be better.

Upon hearing this, Yu Chengyuan realized it was work-related again, and immediately felt overwhelmed.

Isn't this mother-in-law being way too anxious?

He doesn't want to go to work and earn such a small salary.

It's 1986 now, not 1976!

Back in 1976, workers were still in high demand; a small amount of money could support a large family.

In a few more years it will be the 1990s, and prices will have skyrocketed. Workers' wages will really be of little use!

It's fair to say that simply solving his basic needs wasn't what he wanted.

Yu Chengyuan looked at his father-in-law with a troubled expression.

Liu Jianguo immediately stepped forward to defuse the situation, "Ahong, your son-in-law is moving today, you should let him go home as soon as possible!"

Let's talk about this another time, okay?

"That won't do."

Isn't he here today?

If he agrees, go ask the school. If you can't figure it out, I'll go ask the hospital.

Wouldn't that solve the problem?

Anyway, the son-in-law has already separated from his two uncles, so all the money he earns from now on belongs to his own family.

Weng Hong felt that the sooner the better, as her son-in-law's cooking was much better than the hospital chef's.

Seeing that her son-in-law was not speaking and kept looking at her husband, Weng Hong immediately said, "Xiao Yu, you are good at cooking, you can be a head chef there."

The head chef earns a higher salary and also receives some benefits that others don't.

Although the salary is not as high as others, the various benefits are plentiful, especially the meat and vegetable portions.

Also, if higher-ups come to inspect and you treat them well, the hospital will give you a reward!

This is a public hospital, so you don't need to worry about not being able to work here long-term. You can stay until you retire.

Weng Hong began to lure this clueless son-in-law with benefits.

As Yu Chengyuan listened to his mother-in-law's rambling, a brilliant idea suddenly flashed into his mind, and he thought of a wonderful business opportunity to make money.

So, instead of answering, he cheerfully asked, "Mother-in-law, I'd like to ask how many people eat at the county hospital every day?"
