Celebrating the Chinese New Year is an easy and fun thing for children, but for adults, it is not that simple, at least it doesn’t seem that way.
The adults have to run around and build connections. They are usually busy, so they have to contact relatives and friends who they haven't had time to contact and say hello. Some people also have to find connections, like Wen Zhichao who wants to transfer his household registration, and they have to run around more and visit the leaders' homes more often.
He was so busy during the New Year holidays that he looked like he had lost weight from running around. Xia Ruzheng knew how hard he worked, so he would go with him whenever he could, help him speak up whenever he could, and help him build relationships whenever he could.
But in this era, even if you are rich, officials will not look down on you. Just like in ancient times, it is useless for businessmen to be rich, and they still have to kowtow to officials.
Sometimes Xia Ruzheng felt sorry for Wen Zhichao, but Wen Zhichao didn't explain much. He just said to his wife, "Why don't you just not come next time? I can handle it. I think I can transfer my household registration here this year!"
This was only because of Awang's relationship, otherwise it wouldn't have been so easy for Wen Zhichao to establish a relationship. Despite this, Wen Zhichao had been running around like this for a year.
Xia Ruzheng disagreed with Wen Zhichao's words and shook his head, "If you ask me to wait at home, I'll feel even worse. You should just let me come and help."
Wen Zhichao nodded.
In Wen Zhichao's opinion, it was actually not a big deal. Helping to serve tea and water, passing cigarettes, and occasionally building relationships with the naughty kids was not that difficult for him.
Knowing Wen Zhichao's hard work, Xia Ruzheng couldn't help but nag his daughter: "Your dad is working very hard outside. Baby, you must be good to him in the future, okay? When dad comes home, you must pour him some water. When you grow up and dad is old, you must respect him well. Remember?"
The baby nodded dazedly. How could a child who was only three years old understand so much?
However, when Wen Zhichao came back, the baby came over to pour water for Wen Zhichao, hugged Wen Zhichao and gave him a kiss. Wen Zhichao was so happy that he was in a daze, and all the tiredness of the day flew away.
"What happened to you today? You suddenly became more obedient and sweeter than before. My heart melted!" Wen Zhichao said to his daughter exaggeratedly, making the baby's face blush.
Xia Ruzheng said with a smile: "What can I do? Baby knows that you, as a father, are working hard outside, so he wants to comfort you. Aren't you happy?"
Wen Zhichao held his adorable daughter in his arms, his face beaming with joy. "I'm happy! How could I not be happy?! Baby, you're such a good daughter to daddy! Daddy loves you the most!"
The baby giggled for a while, then suddenly asked, "You love me the most, but what about me?"
Wen Zhichao was stunned for a moment, then patted the baby's butt and said, "You little girl, Daddy just said hello and you come to trick him. You and Mommy are in different rankings, so of course you are different. You are both my favorites!"
The two, one big and one small, were his treasures! They were the loves of his life and his spiritual sustenance. Without them, he didn't know how desolate his life would be. But he knew that he would definitely not be able to accept it. Without these two beloved treasures, he would probably give up his life and follow them!
But soon Wen Zhichao smiled and shook his head. The two women he loved most were right in front of him. What was he thinking about? What he had to do now was, of course, to work hard to make money, transfer his household registration, and give the best life to the two of them. What other goal could be more meaningful than this?
Although both of them have their own concerns, when they are with their daughter, they are wholeheartedly playing with her. The baby's small room is filled with toys, picture books and other things. If others see the baby's room, they will be surprised at how much the two of them dote on their daughter.
I had a pretty comfortable New Year holiday. Around the seventh or eighth day of the first lunar month, the workers gradually came back, and soon shops, factories, etc. started to resume work.
Xia Ruzheng's restaurant was installed before the New Year. It has been left to stand and air out for more than half a month, and it should be almost dismantled now.
When the door of the restaurant opened, even though everyone was mentally prepared, they still couldn't help but exclaim.
What caught my eye was the snow-white walls, dazzlingly white, bright and remarkably clean. It turned out that while cleaning the second floor, Wen Zhichao had also taken the opportunity to tidy up the first floor. The tables were re-upholstered, looking like new, and the floor had been washed, though cement floors didn't look so classy that easily.
Where the back door used to be, there is a staircase with handrails. The brand new wooden handrails make people feel very comfortable at first glance.
Haichao and the others couldn't wait to go upstairs to take a look. The second floor seemed much more spacious, with new tables and chairs, and several private rooms. Haichao even counted them and found there were nearly twenty tables on the entire second floor!
Moreover, these tables are now square. If you want to seat more people, you can put a round table top that fits right on the four corners, so more than ten people can sit at once.
This is also the inspiration Wen Zhichao got from the tables and chairs in his hometown.
"The boss lady is really generous! The boss is really willing to spend money!" Du Juan said to Haichao.
Haichao thought so too, but as the boss lady's direct employee, and with a special relationship with the boss, of course he had to put on some airs. He said, "Of course I need to say that. Our boss and his wife are not stingy people. I guessed they would do this!"
