Chapter 257 December 29th

Back at the hotel, after the evening, all of our employees began to have a meeting to arrange the new year's plan.

The result of the meeting was that everyone would have four days off. Of course, if something really happened, we could ask for leave.

I'll stay at 30, go home that afternoon, then have a four-day holiday, and come back to the restaurant on the fourth of next year!

The year is coming to an end, and it can be counted down in hours. This year, I really have no mood, just want to let it pass quietly.

On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, there were only four people working, Shi Yuan, Old Gao and Xiaoyi. Suddenly, there were four people missing. It was quite unaccustomed. While we were not busy in the morning, Old Gao and I went to Jiang Yan's house to buy some tonics and visit Jiang Yan's wife, qi yu.

Qi yu was in good spirits, and we were relieved that we didn't dare to stay any longer. After all, the restaurant was still busy, and Jiang Yan didn't insist on staying.

We'll be back soon.

Although it was the second day from the end of several years, the streets were still bustling with activity, and many shops were not closed, and some of them were, of course, closed. But when night came, there was not much less neon in Pucheng.

It was still extremely cold, as if the new year had reached its peak in the past few days, making the phrase' winter is here, will spring be far away'seem like a complete lie.

Some of them were tightly wrapped inside and outside, while some young people were still dressed thinly and had a graceful demeanor in the cold wind.

The restaurant's business was still very good, so we suddenly went to half of the people, and the pressure increased. After a busy day, we couldn't care less about other things.

After dinner in the evening, there were only a few guests left before we could sit down and rest.

I sat behind the counter, in the familiar Xingyun hotel, but I felt an indescribable sense of loneliness in my heart!

Although Old Gao and the others hadn't left yet, I still felt very lonely and cold, even though the hall was fully heated. It was as cold as blood from the bones.

Ding Ge told me yesterday that Lin Ya and Ling Xinyan's photography store was closed today. I wonder if Lin Ya has returned home yet?

What about Ding Ge? She's on vacation, and she's home. What's she doing at home now?

The one who saw her yesterday should be the last time of the year, right?

I looked out the window again, and the dim light shone through the glass, as if the darkness in the picture had become dreamy. Although I could only see a small area, I felt that the whole world had become beautiful.

I even inadvertently curled my lips and smiled.

In that colorful scene, I seemed to see Ding Ge and Lin Ya. Ding ge wrapped her arms around my neck from behind. I could even smell the fragrance of the shampoo on her hair. Lin Ya also looked at me with a bright smile. She was holding a cup of milk tea in her hand, which was still steaming. She looked at me and handed me the milk tea in her hand. I also laughed with her. The atmosphere was especially warm, as if we had never quarreled before.

My whole heart was warm, and that warmth seemed to melt the ice and snow.

Although it was night, the whole world seemed to brighten up.

"Xing Yun, wake up, wake up."

At this moment, a voice suddenly entered my mind, and I suddenly woke up.

I immediately sat up straight, my eyes wide open, and my consciousness paused for a few seconds before I realized it was a dream.

It was just a dream.

I actually fell asleep on the counter.

It was Xiaoyi who woke me up. She whispered to me, "Xing Yun, someone is paying the bill."

I suddenly woke up and found a person standing in front of the counter. I quickly said I was sorry, and then began to pay the bill for the guests. After paying the bill, I was relieved and complained to myself. The guests didn't leave. How could I fall asleep?

Xiaoyi said to me, "Xing Yun, you've been too tired these days. There's only one table left. You should go back and rest."

"I'm fine." I smiled at xiaoyi.

The two wedding banquets really cost me a lot of energy, plus some personal problems, so I always have a feeling of exhaustion. Today is a busy day, maybe it's really too tired, not even know how to sleep.

When she got up, she felt a little cold, probably because she had been sitting for too long.

At this moment, I suddenly thought of the image just now, and when I realized that it was a dream, the cold suddenly hit my whole body, as if it was colder than before.

I had to stand up and move around, and then took the initiative to say to Xiaoyi, "I'm not busy anymore. Sit here and chat. I won't be sleepy after a chat."

Xiaoyi leaned against the counter, smiled at me and said, "You should sit down and see how tired you are."

I stretched out my arms and replied, "Sit down. You're welcome. I'm moving. I'm not sleeping well."

Xiaoyi did not give in. He sat down and said to me, "Go to sleep when you're tired."

"Hey," I sighed and smiled bitterly, "I'm used to leaving last. The restaurant is open and I can't sleep well."

"What?" Xiaoyi raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Don't worry about us."

"How is that possible!" I smiled and said, "You're all about to become a lady boss."

Xiaoyi suddenly chuckled, a hint of shyness on his face, and he reached out to hit me. I dodged for a while and said, "Ugly daughter-in-law will see her parents-in-law sooner or later. Will you see her parents during the new year?"

Xiaoyi looked a little embarrassed and said, "He didn't say how I met him."

Hu Zi really didn't mention it, and now I'm the only one in the restaurant who knows about their secret relationship. Old Gao, I didn't say it, I didn't hide it, I just didn't talk about it.

"What about you? When are you going to let Hu Zi meet your parents at your house?"

Xiaoyi lowered his head slightly and said in a low voice, "I didn't mention it to him either. I think..."

Xiaoyi hesitated. I frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I always felt that Hu Zi and I..." Xiaoyi pointed a few times in the air, as if he did not know what words to describe it. After a while, he said, "Sometimes far, sometimes near, sometimes cold, sometimes hot?"

I was a little surprised when I heard that, because they were secretly in love, so I was not very clear about the state of the two people, but every day I could get along harmoniously in the restaurant, and there was no emotion, it must have been no quarrel. Besides, the two of them had just fallen in love for a short time and should still be in a period of intense love. When the two of them were alone, most of them were as hungry as glue. Why did Xiaoyi use such words as "From far to near" ?

Did they not fall in love as much as I thought?

Speaking of this, the smile on Xiaoyi's face was a little stiff. I couldn't help but say to xiao yi, "Don't think too much. Maybe he is too tired. You know, we have to pretend that you two are in the restaurant. Sometimes you may misunderstand. Besides, you know about Hu Zi and his ex-girlfriend. Give him more time."

Everyone knows about Hu Zi and Li Xiaowei, and I don't have to hide it.

Xiaoyi nodded and said reasonably, "I know."

It was getting late, and after the last table of guests left, Xiaoyi and the others left.

As usual, after I cleaned up the hall, I took the stick and walked out the door. I didn't rush to pull the shutter down, but took a few deep breaths of cool air. The cool air entered my body and I felt much more refreshed.

Even staying in an air-conditioned room, I really miss the open air outside. There are no cars on the street at this time. Compared to the noise during the day, it is already very quiet. I naturally don't expect anything more. Listening to the sound of the wind from afar, feeling this peace, my heart will be much more comfortable.

I pulled down the shutter, and when I got back to the house and was about to close the door, another person appeared at the entrance of the restaurant.

The man looked particularly disheveled, but he was obviously not a beggar. A young man looked younger than me, but his whole body was particularly depressed, as if he had experienced something particularly tragic. His eyes were a little nervous, and he looked at me with some fear.

I frowned, but politely asked, "Hello, are you eating?"

The man swallowed his saliva and bowed slightly. He seemed to have gathered a lot of courage before he said to me, "Big brother, I don't have any money. My money has been cheated. Now that the new year is over, I can't even go home. I haven't eaten for two days. Big brother, be kind and get me something to eat."

Looking at the man, I had some doubts in my heart, and then I looked at him carefully.

The man's eyes were filled with anticipation, as if I were the last straw he could grab. I asked, "How did you get cheated?"

"It's a long story!" The man's face changed, and his whole body fell a lot. He didn't seem to want to talk more about being cheated, but said excitedly, "Big brother, I'm telling the truth. If I lie to you, I'll die a horrible death. I'm really hungry. Please pity me, okay? Just get me something to eat."

The person in front of him looked really pitiful. If he was really a liar, I have to say that he was really good at acting. Whether it was his eyes or his behavior, there was no loophole.

Looking at the people in front of me, I can't help but think of the day I was stolen in Green city. I remember that when I asked for someone to borrow my cell phone, I was rejected by countless people. They avoided me, and their distrustful eyes made me feel especially uncomfortable. So when I looked at the pitiful lie in front of me, I felt a little sympathy.

It's 29 december now. It's late at night. It shouldn't be a liar.

I thought about it and said to the man, "Come in."

Anyway, it's just a free meal. The restaurant won't lose anything. I really believe that he was cheated and desperate. I don't think he's a liar.

Or maybe I don't want to think he's a liar from the bottom of my heart.

I would rather lie to myself that this society is better!

The man thanked me profusely. He walked into the room and I asked him to sit down at a table. Then I brought him a bottle of mineral water, a plate of cold dishes and a bowl of noodles for him.

The man ate very fast and really wolfed down his food. I didn't persuade him to eat slowly, so I looked at him from afar.

I couldn't help but wonder, what exactly did he go through? What kind of story does he have?

But I didn't talk to him. After the man finished eating, I asked him if he was full. He said he was full and thanked me again and again. His eyes were filled with gratitude from the bottom of his heart. He didn't seem to want to talk to anyone much, so he left the restaurant in a hurry.

Only then did I lock the hotel door and end the day's operation.
