The world of film and television begins from childhood

The entire kitchen was silent. Finally, Yan Jiecheng walked up to Bang Geng and patted him.

"It's okay, Banggeng. Shazhu was just angry for a moment. After all, you are father and son. There's no such thing as overnight grudges."

Unexpectedly, Bang Geng didn't listen to the persuasion at all, and looked straight into his eyes: "I am not father and son with him, he is not my father, and I am not his son."

Yan Jiecheng was startled by his look and quickly smiled apologetically: "Yes, yes, you have nothing to do with Sha Zhu, it's okay."

The matter had been resolved 'satisfactorily' so far, and Yan Jiecheng told Yu Li the truth after everyone had left.

"Wife, don't tell me, Banggeng is such an ungrateful kid. Although Shazhu is stubborn, he is very kind to their family. He can turn against them at will. If I were Shazhu, I would divorce Qin Huairu."

Yu Li sneered, "Divorce? Sha Zhu is already fifty this year. At this age, who else can he find after leaving Qin Huairu? Who will follow him?"

"That's right, Silly Zhu, you are so stupid. Do you really think it's easy to marry this widow? You will be a slave to Qin Huairu's family all your life. How miserable."

Although no one usually talked about the affair between Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu, in fact, there were few people in the hospital who did not gossip about them behind their backs.

"Okay, stop complaining, pack up and go back, I'm so sleepy."

"Got it."

…………

It was another night shift. After getting off work, Zhou Chen went straight to the courtyard. As soon as he entered the front yard, Yan Bugui came straight towards him.

"Zhou Chen, you haven't been back for a few days. Something big has happened in our hospital."

Zhou Chen asked in astonishment: "What big thing happened again?"

"It was Shazhu and Banggeng who got into a fight."

"Did Shazhu and Banggeng fight?"

Zhou Chen was even more surprised and curious at the same time. Why did these two people start fighting?

Yan Bugui had obviously been holding it in for a long time and finally found someone he could talk to, so he told Zhou Chen the whole story in detail from beginning to end.

After listening to it, Zhou Chen also thought it was amazing. This plot could be made into a TV series.

Although he had known for a long time that Yan Jiecheng and others would not get along well with He Yuzhu, he did not expect that Yan Jiecheng would be so ruthless and could use tricks to trick He Yuzhu.

According to Yan Bugui, after returning that night, Qin Huairu wanted to intercede and bring Sha Zhu and Bang Geng back together.

But who would have thought that neither of them appreciated it, and they even started arguing. In the end, they lost their minds. First, He Yuzhu angrily scolded Bang Geng for being an ungrateful person, saying that he had learned his skills and joined forces with outsiders to deal with him.

Qin Huairu wanted to defend her son, but the furious He Yuzhu would not listen to her. Instead, he scolded Qin Huairu, saying that she had not taught her son well.

Qin Huairu didn't think anything of it, but Bang Geng couldn't stand it. He immediately pushed He Yuzhu, and as they pushed, the two angry people couldn't control their hands and feet and started fighting.

A fight between an old man and a young boy, nominally a father and son, was a very rare scene in the courtyard house. The noise caused by their fight soon woke up the neighbors who were already asleep in the backyard.

Although He Yuzhu was over fifty years old, he was still in good health and had rich experience in fighting. Although Bang Geng was young, he was no match for He Yuzhu and was quickly knocked down by He Yuzhu.

How could Qin Huairu, as a mother, tolerate her son being beaten? So she tried her best to separate the two, but the furious He Yuzhu didn't care about her. He had been holding back his anger for years, so he just beat him up madly whenever he got the chance.

Banggeng was also a stubborn guy. Although he was beaten badly, he refused to admit defeat and fought back vigorously, using every possible means, punching, kicking, biting and scratching He Yuzhu.

As the saying goes, fists are afraid of being young, and sticks are young after all. Under this kind of crazy energy, it is no better than He Yuzhu in his youth, and he will gradually not be able to take advantage of it.

The older the two men got, the angrier they became, and the more they fought, the more they didn't hold back, really beating each other to death.

Seeing that things were not going well, Qin Huairu had no choice but to rush over to stop them. However, this time, she was accidentally injured by the two men. Not only was she hit in the face, but she was also pushed against the cabinet. Her head was bleeding and she screamed in pain.

It was this scream that woke up He Yuzhu and Bang Geng and made them stop.

"Finally, Shazhu, Banggeng, and Qin Huairu were all taken to the hospital by ambulance. All three were seriously injured. Shazhu and Banggeng were discharged early, but Qin Huairu is still in the hospital."

Yan Bugui spoke with emotion. Although he was a calculating person, he had no bad intentions. He felt bad about what happened to Sha Zhu and the others. After all, such things were closely related to his son and daughter-in-law.

"I heard that Bang Geng was making a big fuss about getting Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu to divorce. Otherwise, he would cut off all ties with Qin Huairu. This child is really worrying."

Zhou Chen didn't feel too surprised. He had already known that Banggeng was an ungrateful person, but he didn't expect that things would be so intense this time.

I just don’t know what Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu will choose.

But in his estimation, if Bang Geng really goes to the end, Qin Huairu will most likely still stand with Bang Geng, and then things will be interesting.

For the next period of time, he lived in the courtyard, wanting to see how this matter would develop in the end.

But to his surprise, Qin Huairu had never returned to the courtyard since she was discharged from the hospital, and no one knew where she had hidden.

But her avoidance also showed her choice. She didn't want to divorce Sha Zhu, nor did she want to sever ties with her son, so she simply hid herself so that Sha Zhu and Bang Geng couldn't find her, and used time to calm the anger of the two.

I have to say that Qin Huairu's move was really clever. There was no trace of Qin Huairu's stupid pillar or stick. Although her nose was still not a nose and her eyes were still not eyes, they did not fight like before.

Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li, on the other hand, were very happy during this period, because although Banggeng's cooking skills were not as good as Shazhu's, except for particularly picky customers who could taste a slight difference, ordinary customers could not taste any difference at all.

This point has to be attributed to Shazhu's stupidity.

In the TV series, he knew to hold back when teaching his apprentices, but with Bang Geng, I don’t know if it was Qin Huairu’s advice, but he passed on many of his best skills to Bang Geng, and he taught him hand in hand, even teaching him how to combine condiments.

Except for some more difficult dishes, Banggeng is not good at it yet. As for other dishes, Banggeng has learned them and can barely reach 70% of his level.

In this case, Banggeng did not end up as miserably as the fat apprentice of Shazhu in the TV series. Instead, he did very well in Yan Jiecheng's restaurant.

In order to win him over, Yan Jiecheng offered him a salary of fifteen thousand yuan.

Although it is much less than Sha Zhu's 2,500, Bang Geng can only take 500 of Sha Zhu's 2,500, while this 1,500 is all his. Moreover, he has the final say in the kitchen now, so the feeling is naturally different.

So Banggeng is doing very well now. In order to avoid meeting Shazhu, he even quit his job in the steel mill canteen. No one can persuade him, and he now concentrates on being a chef for Yan Jiecheng.

Chapter 923: A few years later, the changes in the courtyard

A year passed quickly, and Zhou Chen's main mission progressed another step forward.

He has been in the world of Love in Siheyuan for more than 20 years. When he lived in Siheyuan before, there were many trivial things. But after he moved out of Siheyuan and came back to live occasionally, there were fewer things.

In fact, Zhou Chen still prefers to live outside. He has relatives living outside. He always feels uncomfortable living in this courtyard, but he has to live here because of the system mission.

A year passed, and Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu still did not get divorced. Sha Zhu finally did not get tough, but just moved back to his own middle yard from the backyard and drove Bang Geng out of his house.

But the result was that Xiaodang and Huaihua moved to the backyard, Jia Zhang lived in He Yushui's house, and Banggeng returned to his own house and lived alone.

Zhou Chen was also shocked when he heard this result.

He Yuzhu is so patient that he can be called a Ninja Turtle.

It is one thing that He Yuzhu can endure it, but Qin Huairu's clever tactics also played a decisive role.

Qin Huairu not only invited an old man named Yi Zhonghai to help intercede, she also called He Yuzhu's sister He Yushui over. He Yushui is really He Yuzhu's good sister. Even in this situation, she still spoke for Qin Huairu, saying that Banggeng is He Yuzhu's son, and it is right for the father to give up the throne to his son, and it is a heritage, etc.

Anyway, after Zhou Chen heard all this, his three views were really shattered. The people in this courtyard were really amazing. They were all talented, especially Sha Zhu.

"Old Liu in the backyard is dying, don't you know?"

When Yan Bugui told Zhou Chen this, Zhou Chen was very surprised. Liu Haizhong's family was now very low-key in the courtyard, and he had not heard about their family for a long time.

All we know is that none of Liu Haizhong's three sons took care of them. And because the old couple were old, they lived a very difficult life relying on the little pension Liu Haizhong received.

In fact, if Liu Haizhong retired normally, his pension would be enough to support the elderly couple.

But Liu Haizhong did not retire normally. After he was released from prison, his health deteriorated and he often fell ill and had to take medicine. Second Aunt's health was not much better either. The old couple were both sickly.

So with Liu Haizhong's salary, they could not survive at all. Fortunately, Yi Zhonghai would help them out from time to time. When Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu lived in the backyard, Qin Huairu would also send some of the food that Sha Zhu brought back to Liu Haizhong's house, so that the old couple could continue to live.

But now the old couple are both over 70 years old. After years of hard life and torture from illness, they are now at the end of their life.

"Old Liu's life has been miserable."

Listening to Yan Bugui's sigh, Zhou Chen said calmly: "There are many people in this world who are more miserable than him. The real mistake he made was that he didn't teach his son well. If he could have taught a filial son, he wouldn't have ended up like this."

Yan Bugui's expression froze. Although Zhou Chen was talking about Liu Haizhong, he always felt that Zhou Chen had something to say about him, because his sons were not much better than Liu Haizhong's son.

"You still hold a grudge against him for framing you back then?"

"I definitely can't forget it, but since he's in jail, I've stopped thinking about it. Have you seen me targeting him over the years?"

"That's true. Although you are a bad boy sometimes, you are not as wicked as Xu Damao."

"Hey, Uncle, are you praising me or insulting me?"

"Praise, of course I am praising you. Let's get down to business. Old Liu is sick and in the hospital. Old Yi is calling on all of us in the hospital to donate money to help him get treated. What do you think of this?"

There was a gleam in Yan Bugui's eyes. He had some opinions about the donation issue. He was calculating and not generous, but considering Liu Haizhong's current situation, he had no objection to donating some money.

But the problem is that Liu Haizhong has a serious illness, the kind that can't be cured even if a lot of money is spent, so the donation is a big problem.

How much should I donate? How often should I donate?

Yi Zhonghai is an old couple with a high pension and a lot of savings. It doesn't matter to them how much they donate. But it's different for him. He wants to save some money for his retirement.

Zhou Chen said, "Uncle, it's meaningless for you to ask me about this. You know the relationship between me and Liu Haizhong. It's good enough that you didn't take advantage of him. You even want me to donate to him. Sorry, I'm not such a magnanimous person."

"You really won't donate?" Yan Bugui asked in surprise.

"No donation."

Zhou Chen shook his head. He was not short of money, but he was not happy to donate money to Liu Haizhong, and he didn't want to donate.

"If you don't donate, the neighbors in the yard may have opinions about you," said Yan Bugui.

But Zhou Chen just sneered, he was not really afraid of this. He continued to live in the courtyard house only for the mission. In the past few years, he had helped these neighbors with their medical treatment. If the neighbors had opinions about him because of this, then it would be better for them not to have these neighbors.

Yi Zhonghai did start to gather donations from everyone for Liu Haizhong, and also found Zhou Chen, but was flatly rejected by Zhou Chen.

Although Yi Zhonghai was not very happy, he did not say anything. After all, his wife almost died of a heart attack, and it was Zhou Chen who rescued her. He had no right to point fingers at Zhou Chen.

Everyone in the courtyard donated money to Liu Haizhong, but it didn't make much difference. Liu Haizhong was ultimately unable to be discharged from the hospital and died in the hospital.

After Liu Haizhong died, Second Aunt didn’t hold on for long either. She passed away in less than a month.

After the funeral, the three sons of the Liu family started to fight over the old couple's last inheritance. They fought over the house in the courtyard at the funeral. After the funeral, they fought and quarreled many times, turning the house upside down.

No. 95 Courtyard, which was already very famous in Nanluoguxiang, has now become a laughing stock for countless people in the alley.

Zhou Chen also saw the fights among the Liu family's sons and could only sigh, what talented people they are.

The Liu family caused a big trouble, and Yan Jiecheng and Bang Geng also caused quite a big trouble.

Banggeng had worked for Yan Jiecheng for more than a year, and then he started to make trouble. He asked Yan Jiecheng and his wife to raise his salary, but how could Yan Jiecheng and his wife agree to it? So the two sides started to quarrel.

Bang Geng was also amazing. He quit the job when the negotiations failed and stopped working at Yan Jiecheng's restaurant. He used this to threaten Yan Jiecheng. Even though Yan Jiecheng invited him several times, he still refused to go. Finally, he said that he would not go back unless his salary was doubled and all the work in the kitchen was given to him.

How could Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li compromise? They went to find Qin Huairu again, but Qin Huairu didn't care about the matter at all. They wanted to find He Yuzhu again, but they couldn't bring themselves to do it.

In the end, Yan Jiecheng and his wife and Banggeng still failed to reach a consensus, but Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li were ruthless enough. Since you, Banggeng, have given up, we are not pushovers either.

Ever since, the two of them, taking advantage of the fact that the restaurant was still booming, partnered with Yu Li's younger sister, Yu Haitang, and directly turned the restaurant into a hotpot restaurant, ushering in the era of hotpot restaurants.

This action completely stunned Bang Geng. He had originally wanted to force Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li to surrender, but he didn't expect them to be so cruel. Now, not only did he not get a salary increase, but he even lost his job.

Although he was very angry, he didn't care too much. After all, he had skills, so he went to find a job in another restaurant.

But he underestimated the abilities of Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li. After all, they were people who had opened popular restaurants. They knew all the restaurant owners in the surrounding area and had spread the story of Bang Geng long ago.

Although the restaurant owners also want to make money, they don't want to hire an ungrateful person like Bang Geng. Even though his cooking skills are good, Yan Jiecheng's popular restaurant has been ruined, and they don't want to repeat the same mistake.

As a result, in this large area around here, Bang Geng, who is a good cook, can't find a job.

What made him even more desperate was that his girlfriend of half a year kicked him out without hesitation when she saw that he had lost his job.

Bang Geng was so angry that he went to find Yan Jiecheng. The two of them started fighting on the spot, and they really got beaten to a bloody pulp.

Over the past year, the No. 95 courtyard has been extremely lively, with various fights between father and son, brothers, boss and employees, and there have been seven or eight fights alone...

In a flash, another two years passed and it was the 1990s.

Courtyard No. 95 has been unusually peaceful for more than a year without any major disturbances.

The biggest change is that Qin Huairu used up all her savings and helped Banggeng open a small restaurant. Now Banggeng is the restaurant owner and chef, while Qin Huairu works as waiters with Xiaodang and Huaihua, and the business is doing quite well.

He Yuzhu has also retired from the steel mill, but because of the conflict between him and Banggeng, although they no longer confronted each other with the mediation of Qin Huairu, he did not go to the restaurant to help. Instead, Qin Huairu would often bring him food from the restaurant.

Because of this incident, Jia Zhang, Banggeng, Xiaodang and Huaihua became dissatisfied. After Jia Zhang expressed her dislike, He Yuzhu could not help but quarrel with her.

From then on, He Yuzhu no longer ate any of the food Qin Huairu brought back from the restaurant.

Although He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu are still husband and wife, the relationship between him and Jia Zhang and the three children of the Jia family has reached a freezing point.

"They are really three ungrateful wolves."

Even Zhou Chen, who had no good feelings towards He Yuzhu, felt sympathy for He Yuzhu's situation after learning about this.

The three children of the Jia family really did not disappoint him at all. They were really three ungrateful wolves. He Yuzhu had raised them for so many years, but in the end, they fell out with He Yuzhu because of these things.
