Chapter 1497: An awkward age

“Ah?” Both Zhou Jia and Shen Min were stunned. They lowered their heads to look at the red packets on the table but didn’t move.

“Take it. It’s good to keep it during the day. There’s a self-service bank at the corner of the street.” Yuan Zhou said.

“But we didn’t help you much, boss.” Zhou Jia and something looked at each other and then said in unison again.

Indeed, the waitresses of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant should be the most relaxed ones among all the waitresses … No, to be more specific, they should be the most relaxed ones in the entire service industry.

“You’re here to work. Just go to work on time every day.” Yuan Zhou said.

“But, but …” Zhou Jia and Shen Min’s tone was surprisingly similar this time. They were both very timid and didn’t dare to take it.

Yuan Zhou’s restaurant was already a very relaxed and free place to work at. Last time, Shen Min even enjoyed the treatment of work injury when she sprained her foot at school and even paid for Social Security. The two of them really felt that Yuan Zhou was a good boss.

“Take it.” Yuan Zhou said.

Zhou Jia and Shen Min looked at each other again and were still in a dilemma. Just then, a cheery voice was heard.

“Take it, take it. This year, many people said that companies and stores that don’t pay year-end bonuses will close down next year.” Cheng Cheng directly jumped into the store and said with a smile.

“How can that be? boss Yuan is so nice.” Zhou Jia and Shen Min turned their heads and looked at Cheng Cheng in unison again.

“Of course, my Grand Master’s shop won’t close down, but it’s a good sign to give employees year-end bonuses. We have to keep it well.” As he spoke, Cheng Han quickly picked up the red packets on the table and stuffed one into each of their hands.

Then, Zhou Jia and Shen Min couldn’t refuse him anymore. They turned their heads and bowed to Yuan Zhou to thank him seriously,””Thank you, boss Yuan,”

“Okay, work hard.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and said.

Cheng Han stood at the side and looked at the three of them with a smile. After Zhou Jia and Shen Min finished thanking each other, she said,””Grand Master, what about me? Will you give me some red packet money this year?”

Cheng Cheng looked at Yuan Zhou expectantly, waiting for his answer.

“We’ll talk about it when you and your dad come to deliver the New Year’s gift. ” Yuan Zhou said.

“Ah? We still have to wait for a few days. ” Cheng Yu pouted.

“It’s not the new year yet. ” Yuan Zhou said.

“That’s what you say, but I haven’t received any New Year’s money in a long time. ” Cheng Han looked at Yuan Zhou pitifully.

“Yes, you’re not young anymore.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head. Thinking carefully, the lucky money was really unfair.

If he gave the money to the brat, they wouldn’t know how to use it. It would be “mommy saving it for you”, so red packet money should be given to people who had the ability to use money but didn’t have it.

Thinking of that, Yuan Zhou looked at Cheng Han sympathetically. This child just happened to be in an awkward period.

“…” Cheng Han was speechless for a moment. He could only go to find Zhou Jia and Shen Min to wipe the table together.

Yuan Zhou also directly turned around and went to prepare the ingredients for breakfast.

As time passed, it was getting closer and closer to breakfast time. There were more and more diners outside the door, but everyone was seriously queuing up.

Although Chen Wei, the deterrent member of the queuing Committee, wasn’t here, Jiang Changxi was always here. Recently, she had been coming here for meals more frequently than usual.

By the way, Chen Wei and sister Wan had already returned to sister Wan’s hometown the day before yesterday to meet her parents.

After all, her company was basically on holiday now, so she and some staff on duty were the only ones left.

Therefore, even the tourists who came here to eat followed the rules here very well, and this was all because of the deterrence of Jiang Changxi.

During breakfast, Ling Hong entered the restaurant together with ruan Xiaoqing as he wished. However, when ruan Xiaoqing asked Yuan Zhou carefully whether he was open for business during the Chinese New Year, Ling Hong hurriedly said that he would also come and eat together.

At that time, Yuan Zhou hadn’t answered ruan Xiaoqing.

Ling Hong was such a Lackey. Of course, it was rare that Yuan Zhou didn’t talk back to Ling Hong. He just ignored Ling Hong’s words and answered seriously that the restaurant would be open for business. After the restaurant was open for business, he continued to serve the breakfast.

Having received an affirmative reply, ruan Xiaoqing secretly heaved a sigh of relief. At that time, Ling Hong spoke again,””I’ll come for dinner even on New Year’s Eve,”

“You’re not going home?” Ruan Xiaoqing asked subconsciously.

“No need. We eat together every year. I’m tired of the food. You don’t need me.” Ling Hong waved his hand and said.

“Sometimes, it’s better to spend more time with them. It’s good to talk more.” Ruan Xiaoqing bit her light red lips and said after hesitating for a while.

“That’s for sure. I usually accompany them for meals. Don’t worry.” Ling Hong patted his chest and said.

Just when Ling Hong was displaying all kinds of behaviors in front of ruan Xiaoqing, Wu Hai, who had just finished his breakfast, suddenly said,””The dinner on New Year’s Eve is free. Will you eat it?”

“Why can’t I eat it for free? I just don’t eat discounted food.” Ling Hong immediately reacted and answered quickly.

“That’s true. No discount Ling, you also ate tangyuan last year. ” After saying that, Wu Hai stroked his small mustaches and left.

“This Crow beast.” Ling Hong was speechless.

“You don’t eat discounted food, but you’ll eat free food?” ruan Xiaoqing laughed.

“Yeah, I don’t eat when there’s a discount, but I can still eat the free food.” Ling Hong nodded his head.

“This habit is really special.” Ruan Xiaoqing said with a smile.

“Of course, I have my principles.” Ling Hong said proudly.

“Tsk tsk, I can’t bear to see it. The sour smell of love.” Yuan Zhou set down the plate in his hand and thought to himself.

“It’s alright. I have never acted so stupid in front of Yin ya. As expected, my intelligence is two pounds higher than that of Ling buzhe and the Black Beast. ” Yuan Zhou ridiculed complacently in his heart with a natural expression.

Having prided himself on having an IQ that was even two pounds higher than usual, Yuan Zhou continued to cook breakfast contentedly.

The one-hour breakfast time soon passed. After Zhou Jia, Shen Min, and Cheng Han left, the restaurant quieted down.

Although the Chinese New Year was approaching, Yuan Zhou’s pace didn’t change. He still opened his restaurant and practiced his culinary skills as usual. The only thing he did was prepare the Chinese New Year gift for Carpenter Lian.

Carpenter Lian was Yuan Zhou’s true master. Naturally, he had to give Yuan Zhou a New Year gift during the Lunar New Year. This was also the first time Yuan Zhou had given a New Year gift. He was currently checking the information seriously to figure out how to give it.

After all, Yuan Zhou didn’t have any elders by his side now, so he could only figure it out by himself.

The time in the morning was short, so Yuan Zhou didn’t prepare the New Year’s gift. Instead, he practiced his cooking skills seriously and didn’t prepare the New Year’s gift until after the lunch.

However, Yuan Zhou had just finished writing the eighth gift list when it was time to prepare the ingredients for dinner.

“This year’s gifts are really particular.” Yuan Zhou closed the notebook and sighed with emotion. After that, he got up to wash up and change his clothes.

Having changed his clothes, Yuan Zhou went downstairs to prepare the ingredients for dinner.

At this time, the line outside the door started again.

Coincidentally, Ling Hong and his grandfather, grandfather Ling, met each other on the street of Taoxi road this time. When they saw each other, Ling Hong was surprised, while grandfather Ling was throwing a childish tantrum and pretended not to see Ling Hong.

“Grandpa, what are you doing here? Does the doctor know?” Ling Hong walked towards grandfather Ling and asked.

“Hmph, you unfilial grandson. You eat delicious food every day and don’t know how to bring your grandfather along. Are you trying to anger your father to death?” Grandfather Ling said unhappily.

Grandpa Ling has been watching live broadcasts recently, so I don’t know where he learned it from. Isn’t this generation very strange?
