Chapter 137 New Year’s Eve
“It’s so beautiful, Diana is amazing, the decoration is very much like the New Year’s Eve.”
After lunch, Kang Qirui and the boss Guang Xianglan and his wife went to the tea restaurant for the last half day of work together. They got off work early in the evening and invited all the employees to have a meal and then declared a holiday. By the time they returned to Kang's house, Diana had already decorated the whole family with the help of Azu and Mazi.
Lanterns, New Year pictures, etc. decorate the home beautifully and full of New Year flavor. After Kang Qirui finished his praise, the second brother also gave a thumbs up and praised: "On the second day after Diana married into our Kang family, she has already brought us new ideas, new images, new air, and new wealth." The second brother's words Diana, who is so generous, is a little shy, "Did I have such a big effect? Thank you everyone, haha."
"Unfortunately, I have been too busy recently. I originally planned to go to the flower market to buy some flowers. Yes, but there is always no time." The second sister-in-law said with emotion, she is mainly responsible for the clothing store. The clothing company is on holiday, the tea restaurant is on holiday, but the clothing store is not on holiday, so to speak during the New Year. These are the busiest days of the year, and my second sister-in-law is really telling the truth.
Ayao naturally knew that the second sister-in-law was busy, but he still pointed at a few pots of flowers and joked, "Second sister-in-law, don't just talk but don't do it. These are all bought from Chencun today. Give me the money." The second sister-in-law listened. Without saying a word, he took out his wallet and said generously: "How much is it?" When Ayao saw this situation, he walked away quickly. He was just joking, and he didn't really ask his second sister-in-law to give him money.
The second brother and the second sister-in-law have made a lot of money with Kang Qirui in the past two years. They have a share in basically all industries. This year, the second sister-in-law is pregnant with her second child. She feels refreshed when happy events occur. In addition, the rich second sister-in-law has lost her usual aloof character. She is so generous in reimbursing Ah Yao for spending money. Caught off guard, he won’t even answer the call.
"Azong, the tea restaurant will be closed tomorrow, right? When will it open?" At this time, Lao Dou asked, since Xianglan became pregnant, the tea restaurant has become the big boss Guanghe If the second guy is in charge, then naturally the second guy is in charge. "Yes, Old Dou, the market will open on the eighth day of the lunar month." The second guy replied. In fact, normally restaurants are not closed during the Chinese New Year, but this time Ruhao Tea Restaurant is a complete Hong Kong-style tea restaurant model, mainly serving fast food, and the target group is mostly migrant workers. During the Chinese New Year, everyone either eats at home or goes to restaurants. Few people eat fast food during the Chinese New Year, so they simply take a rest.
“Everyone, everyone.” At this time, Sister Jiao came over with her five children. She said hello to everyone when she entered the door, and then said: “We will go back to the countryside to celebrate the New Year during the holiday tomorrow. , I will come over to say hello to everyone tonight and wish everyone a happy birthday in advance. "Jiao Jiao is still very grateful to everyone in the Kang family. The job given to her has doubled her income compared to previous years and also solved her housing problem. . For the first time in so many years, she felt that carrying five bone-changing dragons didn't seem to put much pressure on her.
"What car do you plan to take back?" The second guy asked politely, which also opened up the topic of chat. Sister Jiao said funnyly: "I want to take the train, but the train is too crowded. I want to take a plane, but I'm afraid it won't get off." Sister Jiao's words made everyone laugh, and Sachiko said with a smile: "You are in the corner of the mountain. Where is the airport? Of course I can’t get off.
"So I decided to take the bus. If you think about it, I brought a few bone-changing dragons with me, and I don't think the mighty water has any power." Gillian continued, and after chatting for a while, she went back, Kang Qirui gave her a big red envelope on behalf of everyone. Sister Jiao went back happily after receiving the red envelope and feeling its thickness.
"Okay, the market will be closed tomorrow, so you can sleep in." After Sister Jiao left, the second brother stretched out and said happily, but was knocked on the head by the second sister-in-law. , "Don't even think about it. We still have to work in the clothing store. We are very busy during the Chinese New Year. Don't think about being lazy and not helping."
When she heard that she wanted to help, Diana immediately and actively Said: "Second sister-in-law, I can also help you." Second sister-in-law was immediately happy. Diana is so beautiful and she is still a foreigner. She didn't have to work, she just stood in each store for an hour, and the business would be increased by 20%. But after thinking about it, she gave up and said, "I'm sorry, you just got married, and it's your first time to celebrate the New Year in Guangfu, so I asked you to work in the store. What's wrong with that? You and your fourth uncle go shopping in the Flower Street Well, we can handle it ourselves."
Azu also said quickly: "That's right, Second Sister-in-law and the others can handle it, we don't have to worry about it." Azu is different from Diana. I like to play. If Diana goes to the clothing store to help during the Chinese New Year, who will hang out with him? He was afraid that Diana would continue her petition, so he quickly changed the subject, "By the way, the day after tomorrow is the New Year's Eve dinner. How are we going to cook this year's New Year's Eve dinner? Should we have it at home like last year or go to a hotel?"
< br> "This year we don’t have to go through as much trouble as we did last year. I have already booked two rooms at the Hua Palace Hotel. We can just go and eat by then." Ayao said. Last year, everyone was tired from cooking at home. , Ayao went to book a room early this year. But Azu was confused, "Why are there two rooms?"
"Oh, my mother-in-law has some relatives from out of town who came here to celebrate the New Year, so I asked my third brother to help book an extra room." Kang Qirui took the initiative to explain. Zhu Shi Nai’s sister, brother-in-law and niece in Malaysia will return to Guangfu to celebrate the New Year with her this year. Zhu Shi Nai has already asked Kang Qirui to book a room. It happened that A Yao went to book the Kang family’s New Year’s Eve dinner, so she simply asked him to book a room. Together. Everyone chatted about the New Year for a while, then went back to the room to wash up and go to sleep. Early the next morning, Uncle Liang came to Kang's house to look for the second brother, "A Zong, A Zong." The second brother came out of the room with a look of resentment. He hadn't woken up yet, although he had agreed to go to the clothing store. He wanted to help, but he agreed to go only from the first day of junior high school.
As a result, a rare opportunity to sleep in was ruined by Uncle Liang. He asked angrily: "Uncle Liang, why did you come over so early in the morning? ?”
“Originally, I go to the restaurant for dinner every year on my 30th, and I know the owner there. I thought it wouldn’t matter if I called a few days later to make a reservation, but I called yesterday. In the past, it was said that it was full, and I went to many restaurants, but they were all full." Uncle Liang continued talking, "My two sons originally said they would not come back to celebrate the New Year this year, but now they say they won't. Coming back from Hong Kong City to celebrate the New Year, I was caught off guard."
"Uncle Liang, no matter what you say, I still don't understand why you came to see me?" The second brother looked sleepy. , I don’t understand what Uncle Liang is talking about at all. Kang Qirui, who had just gotten up, came out of the living room and saw that the second brother didn't even pour a glass of water for Uncle Liang, so he went to the kitchen to give Uncle Liang a drink. The two brothers each poured a cup of hot tea, handed it to Uncle Liang and said: "Uncle Liang, you Do you want to have a New Year’s Eve dinner at our tea restaurant?”
Uncle Liang took the tea, took a sip and put it on the table. He nodded and said, "That's right, that's it. Azong, help me cook two New Year's Eve dinners at your tea restaurant, and I'll give you an extra 20%." After the second guy drank two sips of hot tea, he became more alert. After understanding what Uncle Liang meant, he shook his head and said: "Uncle Liang, it's not about money. What is the signature of our tea restaurant? The first one in Xiguan Hong Kong-style tea restaurants. You must know that your son is in Hong Kong City. They are fast food restaurants and milk tea bakeries. One table can seat up to four people, and two tables can only accommodate eight people. You have a New Year's Eve dinner. "Six tables, what's the big deal?"
"Ah? Is that so?" Uncle Liang hasn't been to Ruhao Tea Restaurant yet. He has passed by it several times before and saw the queue at the door. Team, he didn't join in the fun. This is the first time he heard about Ruhao's business scope. The second guy continued: "And all of us had a holiday yesterday. Even the chef went back to the countryside. Even if you are willing to come over, we have nothing to cook for you."
"Yes. Ah, Uncle Liang. I'm really sorry that we can't hold the New Year's Eve dinner at the tea restaurant. You'd better go somewhere else. If you're willing to pay, it should be fine," Kang Qirui also advised from the side. Kang Qirui doesn't want the two of them to be exhausted in this life, so he should take a good rest during the New Year. There is endless money to be made, so there is really no need to work so hard.
Tea restaurants are different from clothing stores. If you are contracting the New Year's Eve dinner, you will definitely not be able to win even if you work sixteen hours a day. The second guy in the clothing store is responsible for replenishing the goods. If there is no stock, He is only needed, and the actual work does not exceed four hours a day. This level is still no problem. Kang Qirui was extremely opposed to hosting the New Year's Eve dinner, which meant he didn't earn much and was very tired. Moreover, the current Ruhao Tea Restaurant was not qualified to host the New Year's Eve dinner.
On New Year’s Eve, which is New Year’s Eve, Kang Qirui woke up early in the morning and wrote two Spring Festival couplets as in previous years. After the ink dried, he and his boss Guang posted them to Kang’s house. On the door of Hezhu's house. After pasting the Spring Festival couplets, the old lady took everyone to prepare to worship the gods. When the worship was finally finished, the Kang family and the Zhu family took a taxi to the Huagong Hotel.
"The dishes have been served, I just want to say a few words." After the waiter finished serving the dishes and closed the door of the private room, Lao Dou coughed and said: "This year is generally going well for our Kang family. What happened after Azu got married? You five brothers are all married. Next year, three more lives will arrive, which can be said to be a series of happy events. Your mother and I have no hope. We just hope that you will get married one by one and have children as soon as possible. Next year is the Year of the Horse. Ah, I hope our Kang family will continue to have smooth sailing and success next year.”
After Lao Dou finished speaking, the New Year’s Eve dinner officially started.
