Lao Tan and Sister Jin chatted while eating, and the movie became a foil. Of course, when the exciting scenes came, the two of them would stop talking and watch attentively. After watching, they would discuss and express their emotions.
Some people say that it would be strange if nothing happens if a man and a woman drink together alone, unless the woman is extremely ugly or the man is impotent.
There is nothing wrong with saying this. People who are impetuous in the age of exaggeration always have restless hearts. It is normal for something to happen. Although it is not love between you and me, it is still love between husband and concubine.
But humans are different from animals after all. There may not be pure friendship between men and women, but nothing can happen when they are alone.
After showing one movie, Lao Tan chose another one, starring Jet Li.
"If you can't celebrate the New Year alone, I'll spend it with you," Sister Jin said.
"Is it convenient?" Lao Tan asked.
"What's the inconvenience? I originally planned to go to Jin Zi's house to spend time, but I just feel uncomfortable. I'm going to spend the Chinese New Year with my whole family, don't you think so?"
"That's true."
"The main reason is that there is a waiter who won't go home ------ What will she do when I come to your place?"
"You two can come together and go back after the New Year's Eve dinner, or you can stay here, the room is enough."
"That would be bad, what if your wife comes back?"
"Where will she come back on New Year's Eve?" Lao Tan said and smiled.
"In this case, I will go back and ask her if she is coming. If she comes, we will come over tomorrow morning. If she doesn't come, then I can't come. We will spend time in the store."
"good."
"The child in my family is named Mingyue. She is twenty this year. Her mother went to South Korea when she was in elementary school and has never come back. Her father found a wife again and was not very good to her. She has been living with her grandparents.
pass.
She didn't go to school after graduating from junior high school. She worked in my store for half a year. When I moved there, she went to work with someone else. When I came to Kaneko, I took her with me. Fast forward two years.
The child is very sensible and knows how to save money, and is not like other little girls."
"This way the child can feel at ease." Lao Tan said.
"Children without a mother are in danger. If someone offers some benefit, remember it." Sister Jin said.
"It's okay to follow you."
"I can't always take her with me. It's time for her to find a partner in two years."
"I remember that you Xian people have the custom of recognizing your godmother, so why don't you recognize her as your goddaughter?"
"Hey, I have to be a godmother from Quanming. I'm not a divorcee." Sister Jin explained.
"Is there such a thing? This is the first time I've heard of it."
The two of them drank until two o'clock in the afternoon. It was a bit long, but they didn't drink too much. They just chatted and watched movies from time to time.
After Sister Jin left, Lao Tan arrived at the Chishan store. The store started to get busy just after three o'clock. It was mainly hosting some corporate dinner parties and there were very few casual orders.
Lao Tan saw two waiters selling frozen dumplings in front of the large freezer outside the store. There were many people buying them and there was already a queue.
Xiaolong helped make dumplings in the dumpling room, Xiaohui rolled out the dough next to him, and the couple greeted Lao Tan one after another when they saw him coming.
"Is the child at home?" Lao Tan asked.
"No, my parents are here and watching at home." Xiaolong said.
"When did you come?"
"The New Year is here."
"Oh, that's good. After the New Year, ask your parents to drink some wine and come to my house."
"Come to my house, my dad said, I'll invite you after the Chinese New Year."
"good."
Lao Tan was about to go to the kitchen to take a look, when there was a loud noise from the second floor. It looked like a fight.
When Lao Tan ran upstairs, the two groups were already fighting in the corridor. The store manager and the floor manager were arguing, but the lesbians couldn't get in front and were almost accidentally injured.
Lao Tan saw that his gesture was in vain, so he picked up a beer bottle and threw it to the ground. The explosion of the bottle alarmed both warring parties, and they involuntarily stopped and looked at Lao Tan.
At this time, two middle-aged stewards squeezed out of the door of the private room where both parties were eating. The two of them were blocked in the door during the chaotic fight and couldn't get out even if they tried to stop it.
From the work clothes worn by the two of them, Lao Tan recognized that they were from the aircraft factory. He guessed that two different workshops were having dinner here, and they got into an argument over trivial matters, which led to a physical conflict.
The two managers must have known Lao Tan, so they both smiled sheepishly at Lao Tan, and then used their leadership authority to scold their employees to go back.
Some of the obedient ones started to go to the private room, but there was the disobedient one who didn't know what the heaven and earth were and shouted at Lao Tan: "What the hell are you doing, are you looking for a fight when you have nothing to do?"
Haha, he said it fiercely, but he didn't dare to step forward and was bluffing.
At this time, a female colleague came out of the private room and pulled the speaker back. At the same time, she whispered to him, and looked back at Lao Tan with a noisy look. The arrogance was gone.
Seeing that their own people had gone back, the two stewards came up to say hello and apologize to Lao Tan, and then went back.
A waiter came over to clean up the broken beer bottles on the floor. Lao Tan asked the store manager to add three dumplings to each of the two private rooms, and then went downstairs.
The store manager who was following behind said, "I almost called the police."
"Why call the police during the Chinese New Year? It won't be good to arrest anyone. Let them spend the Chinese New Year at the police station," Lao Tan said.
The store manager blushed a little, secretly complaining that he didn't think comprehensively.
"Don't go forward if you encounter situations like this in the future. It won't work if you're a woman, and if I beat you again, you won't get offended. Follow me and throw a beer bottle to scare you."
The store manager snickered, "If you say something from your heart, you can do it. You look like a bandit and can calm people down. If I fall, why don't they all come after me?"
Lao Tan came out of the Chishan Store and looked up at the sky. He saw that the sky was cloudy. The clouds were coming up from the north and slowly pressing towards the south. The gray sky was like an upside-down bowl. He said to himself: It will snow in the second half of the night.
The auspicious snow may herald a good harvest.
He wanted to check out the Huangshan Road store, and while he was making plans, Li Shuang drove up and stopped beside him and asked him what he was going to do. He said he was going to the Huangshan Road store, so Li Shuang sent him there.
The Huangshan Road store was also very busy, with the lobby and private rooms packed and bustling with people. There were also waiters selling dumplings at the door, and there were many people buying dumplings.
The store manager was about to move a chair for Lao Tan to sit on, but Lao Tan waved his hand and said he would just take a look.
He walked into the kitchen. The work in the kitchen was coming to an end, and some employees started to clean up.
After the head chef finished frying the last dish, he got off the stove and walked up to Lao Tan, wiping his sweat and saying, "We have guests today, sir."
"Many units have half-day shifts, can we not be early?" Lao Tan said.
"It's fully booked for tomorrow, better than ever."
"Okay! Let's discuss it with the store manager and get off work early after today's busy day."
"Thank you, boss!"
“Have you prepared all the New Year’s goods at home?”
"We're ready, but we just don't want to let the firecrackers set off to cause any excitement or excitement."
"It's a good thing not to let it go. It saves the fire brigade trouble and other people have to celebrate the New Year."
"That is."
"The gas pipes and stove connections have been overhauled. Be careful during the Chinese New Year, safety first."
"Don't worry, boss, everything has been overhauled and everything is safe."
As soon as the chef finished speaking, he heard a "bang" and the pressure cooker exploded while sitting on the clay pot stove.
