Chapter 244: New Year Arrangements

In the hearts of every Chinese, the New Year means reunion, joy, peace, and returning home.

The New Year is warm and welcoming, but catering people are afraid of celebrating the New Year.

Whenever the Chinese New Year comes, it is the most uncomfortable time for caterers.

Can't go home——

We saw in the video a little girl calling her father, a chef, with tears on her face: "Dad, are you going home for the Chinese New Year this year? I miss you."

Dad held back his tears and said, "I will definitely come back. Dad will come back as soon as he finishes cooking-"

After the call ended, the little girl was overjoyed. Her father wiped the tears on his face with his apron, stood there blankly for a while, and then went to the stove to continue cooking.

According to incomplete statistics, more than 10 million people across the country are working on the catering front. Every year during the New Year, nearly 80% of them cannot return home. In other words, there are 8 million families with children waiting for their fathers and mothers to go home for the New Year.

Millions of parents are looking forward to the return of their sons and daughters------

Catering is hard.

In response to this situation, Yanhua and Lao Tan decided that starting from this year, they will bring employees' families to the hotel to celebrate the New Year, and the hotel will bear all the expenses. Of course, this is a big expense, and it is all pure profit. But what should be paid

You have to take it, but don't feel bad. As the saying goes, he who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. If there are no loyal employees who treat the hotel like home, the hotel will not be far from the yellow shop.

In fact, apart from local employees, only one-third of the family members of non-local employees can come to the hotel to celebrate the New Year. Those family members who cannot come are very grateful for the boss's concern and consideration, and they all call to express their gratitude.

Lao Tan decided to go home for the New Year, but Lin Yan couldn't go back. She couldn't rest until 30pm.

His son Jiaheng went back to celebrate his grandma's birthday and came back after the New Year. When his son was not at home, Lin Yan decided to go back to her parents' house to celebrate the New Year, which made Lao Tan very unhappy.

If the two of them set off at one o'clock in the afternoon, they will arrive at their hometown in Beipiao at six o'clock in the evening, which is not too late. Of course, it is close to Lin Yan's mother's house, which takes more than an hour.

In addition, Lin Yan had to go to work in the third year of junior high school. It was really unrealistic for Lao Tan to go back to Beipiao together, and it was not feasible to go back by himself, so he decided to spend his thirties in the provincial capital. He would go back to Lin Yan's house on the first day of junior high school to see his mother-in-law, and then return home on the second day of junior high school.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, I went back to my hometown to visit my mother, and then came back with my son.

The reason for this decision is that firstly, it is fun for an old lady to spend the New Year with her son at home, and I can understand if I don’t go back. Secondly, there are employees’ family members who are celebrating the New Year in the hotel, so spending the night with them is what it means, otherwise the employees will not be able to celebrate the New Year.

Going home and working hard on the front line, it is unreasonable for a boss like him to go home to celebrate the New Year.

Also, he also wanted to take this opportunity to spend the New Year alone with Lin Yan to have a buffer.

As the saying goes, a couple's love lasts a hundred days. They are not together all the year round. They have some children. There is no conflict of principles or mistakes, and they are not looking for someone outside. They are the same about their family and children. There is no need to cause tension in the relationship.

, like a stranger.

Until now, he didn't think that Lin Yan had an affair and wanted to divorce him, but it was clear from her words that she didn't like living as a couple and it was annoying to even think about it.

Lao Tan just thought about it, but he had gotten used to it over the years anyway. Of course, he didn't want it to be false. It was a normal physiological need, and no one should tell anyone about it. It was the same. He couldn't divorce his wife because of this, and it would be embarrassing to talk about it.

Lin Yan agreed with his New Year plan and promised to go to the restaurant with him on the 30th night to have fun with the people. In other words, it will be a very happy Spring Festival.

It's the Chinese New Year, so I should be busy, but everything has been arranged, and there are people doing everything, so I'm free.

People tend to miss home, parents, relatives, and old friends during the New Year and holidays.

Although Lao Tan has been busy in the past few years, every time he returns to the provincial capital, he always has a meal with his old neighbors Brother Li, Wang Ming, Xiaofeng, and his old friend Liu, to catch up with the past. When he is away, these old friends often

Go to the dumpling house to join in the fun.

We have been friends for many years, but we can never break them off. Although we are not colleagues or partners, we can talk and get along for a long time. We have transcended the boundaries of friends and have become brothers and confidants.

We remember that Lao Tan and Brother Liu met in a mahjong club. They were drinking buddies at first, and then they became friends after drinking too much. It was through Brother Liu that Lao Tan met Yanzi, and it was only through meeting Yanzi that he and Yan Zi, who had lost contact for many years, came to know each other.

Hua reunited, and today's Ah Qiao was born.

It seems to be God's arrangement. If we talk about fatalism, this is a cause and effect.

Neighbors Li Ge and Wang Ming work in an aircraft factory. The reason why Ah Qiao's first store opened and the number of people eating there is inseparable from their constant solicitation of customers from the factory.

Although Ah Qiao no longer needs to solicit customers, it was indeed these friends who supported her in the first place. Don’t forget the people who dug the wells. You should be grateful at all times.

Xiaofeng is the only female among these friends. Even though she is a girl, she is definitely a good friend and is admired by all the men who have done many things. To be honest, she is number one in Santaizi. Many big brothers in society give her face and call her "Sister Feng" when they meet.

.”

She cheered a lot and brought her friends over every now and then, so much so that they thought she had shares in it. Her friends were all Ah Qiao's leaders, and she had many friends, including friends in several major districts, and she held Ah Qiao's membership in her hand.

With the card, you can eat at any restaurant.

Today, the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, Lao Tan called them one by one and made an appointment to gather together at noon. The location was chosen at the Chishan Road store near Brother Liu's home.

Lao Tan first went to the store to arrange the meals. It was still early, so he found a seat at the front desk and watched the employees working leisurely. For him, such a time was rare, and it felt fresh to suddenly have it.

The store manager, Tu Yaqi Qige, was embarrassed to face Lao Tan because of her troubled relationship with Hua Qing, so she stood in front of the bar, a little reserved.

Lao Tan didn't think about that and waved when he saw her standing.

She tensed up, thinking that Lao Tan wanted to talk to her about the matter with Hua Qing, so she walked over nervously and stood there.

The employees of the entire group are afraid of Lao Tan, not because he looks fierce and always has a stern face. The so-called fear is actually respect. The employees all know that Lao Tan is the person who is good for them. With him around, they have peace of mind.

Willing to do it.

Every employee has attended Lao Tan's training class and listened to what he said about filial piety, gratitude, and how to behave. His words can reach people's hearts, making them accept them, listen to them, and receive education, so they naturally follow and learn from them.

If you speak well and do it well, you will be respected by others.

The shadow of a famous tree is like that of a person. As long as your heart is upright and your actions live up to your conscience, people will naturally respect you.

Lao Tan motioned Tu Ya to sit down and asked, "Have arrangements been made for the families of employees who are coming to celebrate the New Year?"

It turned out that he was not asking about that matter. Tuya took a deep breath and replied: "Yes, everything has been arranged. There are two more to arrive tomorrow."

"Be sure to entertain them well. When it's dinner time, ask them to eat, cook two more dishes, and have the wine ready." Lao Tan instructed.

"Yeah." Tuya nodded.

"By the way, your family didn't come?" Lao Tan asked.

Tuya blushed and said hurriedly: "No, he took the children back to the pastoral area to celebrate the New Year with the elderly. I will go back on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year."

"Okay------" Lao Tan wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by the noise coming from the food room. He couldn't help but look up.

There was a woman standing at the door of the food room, accompanied by a boy about four years old. Opposite the woman was the hotel chef. Old Tan was a bit unfamiliar, he must have just arrived. The head chef Xiao Gao was also there.

I saw the woman pointing at the chef and saying loudly: "Are you still a human being? You stay at the mahjong club for a night and you just know how to make money. The children and the wife don't care. How can you survive this year? The children haven't even bought any clothes!"

"

"It's shameful to yell like shit! Go back quickly!" the chef shouted loudly, reaching out his hand.

Xiao Gao immediately went up to stop him.

"Go back? Give me the money and I will go back. If you don't have a child, you still have to celebrate the New Year!" the woman shouted.

"No money!" The chef said simply.

"I don't mind being embarrassed anymore. You all listened to him saying that he has no money. Is this what the old man said? If you have money to play mahjong but no money to buy clothes for your children, other people buy this and that during the Chinese New Year. My family is better.

, I can't buy anything, I don't have a penny. I just know how to play mahjong all the time, and I don't go back home, and I don't care about my children, are I still a man?

How did you spend this year? Woohoo------"

When the child saw his mother crying, he didn't know what was going on and started crying too.

The chef played mahjong all night and lost everything. Unexpectedly, his wife led the children to the restaurant, and people in the restaurant were watching. Feeling that he had lost face, he couldn't help but get angry, so he showed his true nature as a gambler and started playing mahjong.

He slapped his wife on the face——

After Lao Tan understood what was going on, he stood up, but he stopped the slap abruptly. When the chef was stunned, Lao Tan received a slap in the face.

The chef was naturally unwilling to be beaten. He was still conscious when he was about to fight back. When he saw that it was Lao Tan, he immediately fell silent.

The woman's father-in-law and mother-in-law knew that their daughter-in-law had brought their children to the restaurant to look for her unlucky son, and they were worried about causing trouble, so they arrived at this time.

The matter was handled simply. Lao Tan fired the chef on the spot and gave his wife an extra month's salary to celebrate the New Year. The chef was still a little dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to act like a donkey, so he left after being scolded by his father.

Old Tan was very angry. After the family left, he asked Xiao Gao with a sullen face: "How did you recruit such a person?"

"Introduced by a friend, I have been here just over a month ago ------Master ------"

Seeing the unkind expression on Master's face, Xiao Gao stopped talking.

"Don't you know he plays mahjong?" Lao Tan asked.

Xiao Gao had a gambling record and felt guilty. He immediately said: "I don't know, I really don't know."

Lao Tan glanced at him, his eyes cold, and Xiao Gao felt a chill on his back.

"I don't know, you'd better not know!" Lao Tan said with a cold face, and then warned: "Your friend introduced me, so they must know each other. Even if they are not gambling friends, they also make money together. Don't say that your friend doesn't make money.

!

If you feel that you have had enough good life, I will make it happen for you!"
