Chapter 139 Yu Li's Choice.
Yu Li did not respond to Yu Haitang's words, but instead turned her back and lay down.
I need to be at the alley entrance before 9 a.m. tomorrow, otherwise I'll miss the time and Yang Ke will be gone.
On a weekend morning, Yang Ke arrived at the alley entrance near Yu Li's house as promised.
"Here you are, get in the car, I'll take you somewhere."
Yang Ke saw that Yu Li had appeared at the alley entrance early, and he nodded to the back seat with satisfaction, indicating that she should get in the car.
Since Yu Li had already come, she had made up her mind, so she also got on the bicycle.
After cycling for a while, Yang Ke led Yu Li to another residential area, about a 15-minute bike ride from both Nanluoguxiang and Yu Li's place.
"arrive."
Yang Ke and Yu Li stopped at the entrance of a small courtyard house.
Yu Li didn't know why Yang Ke had brought her here, so she obediently got out of the car and waited quietly.
Her heart is beating a little fast right now, partly out of shyness and partly out of anticipation for the future.
This is a courtyard house with one main entrance, also known as a basic courtyard house, which consists of a main house, east and west wing rooms, and a rear house.
The courtyard is enclosed on all four sides, hence the name Siheyuan (quadrangle courtyard). Most ordinary people live in this type of courtyard house.
However, if it weren't for Yang Ke, the kitchen and storage rooms in this house would probably be occupied by people by now, but it's currently uninhabited.
"How is the environment here?"
Yang Ke didn't explain the situation, but only asked Yu Li a question.
"Is no one living here? This place is so big, it might be a bit crowded if four households live here, but two or three households would be very spacious."
Yu Li was unaware of the situation, but she still expressed her thoughts.
"Come on, this is the kitchen and dining area. In the summer, we can set it up in the yard. I've prepared the meat and flour."
"This is the storage room. Everything is stored here. You'll need to take it yourself, but don't waste anything, because I only come here to replenish supplies once a month at most. That's all."
"That's the bathing area over there, with wooden tubs. We'll be there tonight..."
"This is the master bedroom, and it can also be used as a partition when not in use."
Yang Ke explained the situation of entering the courtyard house to Yu Li.
Yu Li was dumbfounded, mainly because the white face weighed over 100 pounds and there was a large piece of meat, more than she had seen in a year at home.
As Yang Ke gradually explained, Yu Li's inner suspicions were confirmed.
"Well, since you've come out today, that means you agree. You can live in this courtyard from now on."
"Try not to let anyone know about this place. I've arranged for you to work as a warehouse manager at the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill."
"You should be able to do numbers, right? Just count the items every day. I'll take you to the factory to complete your onboarding process tomorrow, Monday morning."
Yang Ke told Yu Li what she most wanted to hear, and he told her two things.
This house alone is enough to make most working-class people envious, and the job is warehouse management, which is easy and not troublesome. Yu Li later opened a restaurant, which proves that she has a talent in this area and will not cause trouble for herself.
"Yes."
After hearing this, Yu Li excitedly tugged at Yang Ke's sleeve. She truly didn't know how to describe her current feelings.
This place is so wonderful, so wonderful that Yu Li couldn't even imagine it.
"Alright, stop getting so excited."
"Don't forget what my prerequisites are. If you don't do these things well, you won't get anything."
Yang Ke poured cold water on Yu Li.
Yu Li is quite easily swayed, and he doesn't want her to grow up to be a domineering person, so he has to dampen her enthusiasm from time to time to make her understand her situation.
"You're probably not very hungry right now, so I'll take you to eat something else first, and we can talk again after lunch."
Yang Ke picked up his watch and glanced at the time. He thought that if he made too much trouble now, he would have to cook lunch for Yu Li. So he decided to wait until after lunch to collect his benefits.
"kindness."
Although Yu Li's enthusiasm was dampened by the cold water, she understood that as long as she did her job well, these things would still be hers.
Thinking of this, Yu Li's gaze towards Yang Ke changed.
"Come on, let me give you something special to eat first."
After Yang Ke finished speaking, he pulled Yu Li into the room.
40 minute later.
"What, have you forgotten what I just told you?"
Yang Ke looked at Yu Li, who was trying to slip away, and immediately said sternly.
Upon hearing Yang Ke's words, Yu Li, who had been reacting instinctively, immediately thought of Yang Ke's instructions.
With things having come to this point, for the sake of the better days to come, Yu Li had no choice but to obediently do as she was told and finish the rest of her drink in one go.
"That's a good boy/girl, how can we waste it?"
Yang Ke nodded in satisfaction when he saw that Yu Li obediently did as she was told.
"Alright, you must be hungry too, go make something to eat."
"Learn to cook in the future, so I won't look down on you for it."
Afterwards, Yang Ke clearly became a straight man, waving his hand to signal Yu Li to go and get something to eat.
"By the way, put away your stinginess and make a dish of one vegetable, two meat dishes, and a soup."
Yang Ke remembered Yu Li's personality and worried that she might make something like stir-fried cabbage with pork and then cabbage soup, so he quickly gave her some instructions.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Yu Li also wanted to go and see the food again, and the thought of it becoming ingredients in her hands made her very eager.
At that time, if a girl didn't have a job, she would naturally have to learn needlework and housework, otherwise she would be looked down upon when she went to her husband's family. Yu Li naturally knew how to cook.
About an hour later, Yu Li finally finished cooking a meal.
The main problem is that while the house looks well-equipped, none of the items have been used yet, so Yu Li naturally needs more time to renovate.
"You just need to practice more."
Yang Ke is a master chef, and his assessment of Li's dish was that it was barely edible, so he naturally gave it a good review.
"Yes, we didn't have this many ingredients and seasonings at home before."
Yu Li also knew that Yang Ke probably ate well all the time, so her cooking skills were naturally not up to par.
Fortunately, there's plenty of food at home, so I can just practice more on my own.
"Don't just drink porridge, eat more vegetables, and don't eat too much. All the food here is yours, so you won't miss this meal."
Yang Ke watched as Yu Li ate only cabbage and plain porridge, occasionally picking up a piece of meat. He then gave her a large handful of meat and a few pieces of sausage.
However, considering that he would be busy later, he naturally told Yu Li to make sure she ate her fill so as not to cause any trouble.
"kindness."
Yu Li didn't understand at first, but when she saw Yang Ke's wicked smile, she knew what was about to happen.
The morning is just a matter of timing, but the afternoon is a different story.
But Yu Li no longer regrets it. She felt like she was dreaming while cooking, so how could she give up such a life?
The two of them didn't leave their room that afternoon, spending the rest of the time whispering sweet nothings to each other.
Yang Ke also told Yu Li a lot of things, mainly because he didn't want her to interfere with his plans.
Fortunately, Yu Li also understood and nodded in agreement with Yang Ke's explanation.
What made Yu Li happiest was that Yang Ke allowed her to take some of her monthly salary and allowance home, but not the things in the courtyard house.
She didn't care about it. Although the salary was only 27.5, it was still quite a lot. Her father was only in his 30s and was supporting a family of four.
