It was at this moment that Xia Youyou discovered the dazzling gems of various colors on the pillow.
He lay down in surprise, picked up the gems one by one and placed them in his palm.
"You went to Hong Kong again?"
Qi Siling opened the quilt, and then he lay on her back, resting his elbows on either side of her, wrapping the quilt around them. Seeing her little face full of joy, he leaned over to her ear and pecked her repeatedly.
Xia Youyou shrank her neck and tried to avoid him, but he chased her again and kissed her until she went limp.
"Hmm..."
The air in his mouth was robbed again, and the gems were scattered everywhere during the struggle.
Only when Xia Youyou felt the pain did she push the man away, gasping for breath.
"pain."
"Where does it hurt?" Qi Siling sat up, held the person in his arms, and examined him carefully.
Xia Youyou turned her head to look at the place where her back had been hit, and pointed at it proudly, "Your baby hit me!"
Qi Siling was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He rubbed her back and asked, "Here?" He ignored the word "baby".
The big hands that were causing trouble on her body tickled her skin. She dodged them with a sweet smile and turned back to pick up the gems one by one.
Each one was about the size of a knuckle. She picked one up and held it up close to the light from the window to see the structure inside.
There is no trace of impurities, all are of high quality.
Qi Siling hugged her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder. He picked up the quilt that had fallen to her waist and wrapped them both in it.
"I went to the auction in Hong Kong and I know several jewelers. I can make the crown I promised you in no time."
Xia Youyou only had one hand exposed. Upon hearing this, she retracted her hand into the quilt and turned around to hug his waist, "Hubby, you are so good!"
"Is that all?" Qi Siling lowered his head and pecked her lips. "If I can't even do this little thing, I'll be so ashamed!"
"Hahaha……"
The two of them laughed together and played around for a long time.
After packing up and going out, Qi Siling carried Xia Youyou downstairs with one hand.
Liu Hui was just about to go upstairs to ask them to come down for dinner, but when she saw the two of them coming down like this, she was a little stunned.
He avoided her eyes awkwardly and said, "Come down to eat soon. After dinner, give them their wages and then we will go back to the old house."
"Okay!" Xia Youyou's face flushed, she pinched Qi Siling, and then was put down.
The kitchen prepared two tables of food. After everyone had a lively meal, Xia Youyou went to the front desk to take out the purse and account book that had been prepared long ago.
"Our guesthouse's business is pretty good this year, and the credit goes to everyone. So I'll distribute the dividends I promised you today. I hope everyone will work hard together next year."
Qi Siling stood with her. When she named someone, he would count out the salary for that person and hand the red envelope that he had prepared long ago to the person.
Xia Youyou had prepared red envelopes of 200 yuan each for last year's old employees, including Wang Cuifen, Xianrenjin, Li Jinfeng, and Xiaojia. The restaurant's cooks had already received theirs a few days ago, so they didn't come today.
Each person in the kitchen gets 100 yuan, and each waiter gets 80 yuan.
"Don't be proud if you earn more, and don't be discouraged if you earn less. We at Anhai value seniority. The longer you work, the more we pay you." Xia Youyou explained, "For example, next year, if Sister Cuifen works for another year, we'll give her 300 yuan, and 400 yuan the year after, and it will increase every year."
Everyone applauded excitedly. This was great! These days, ordinary workers' wages don't exceed 30 yuan. Their year-end bonuses could be enough to cover several months' wages, which was higher than those workers' wages!
Xia Youyou smiled and pointed at the small supermarket, "Now, we are An Hai's reserved program. Go to the small supermarket to get things. Take whatever you want!"
Seeing everyone eager to try, he smiled and said, "But this year, let's try something different!"
The idler Jin rushed to the front and said, "Boss lady, how do you play?"
Xia Youyou pulled a basket from the ground. "See this basket? You have thirty seconds to rush into the supermarket and grab whatever you want. It's all yours!"
She originally wanted to limit the time to one minute, but then decided that was too long and it would ruin the fun of the game. Thirty seconds. If she didn't take much, she could just add more later. The supermarket had everything anyway.
Xianren Jin excitedly took the basket and said, "I'll go first!"
"Okay, you set an example for everyone first, and then we'll all go to the square."
A group of people rushed to the front yard. Qi Siling stood at the door of the small supermarket and started to time Xianren Jin with his watch.
Everyone stared at Xianren Jin, which made him a little nervous. He turned around and said to them, "Don't look at me like that, I'm panicking!"
"Hahaha……"
This caused everyone to burst into laughter again.
"Come on, get ready!" Qi Siling gave him a rare gentle smile, stretched out his hand to block the door, and calculated the time.
"Start!" As soon as he put down his hand, Xianren Jin rushed into the small supermarket.
The people outside didn't know who started it, and they started counting.
“1, 2, 3, 4, 5,…”
Xianren Jin was very panicked when he entered. He looked around and wasted a few seconds, and was distracted by the big guy who was timing outside.
“28, 29, 30!”
"Time's up!" Qi Siling looked towards the small supermarket, and Xianren Jin came out with a basket in his arms, looking frustrated.
"You guys are making me nervous by timing." He looked at the people who were making trouble from behind with a wronged look.
Xia Youyou couldn't stop laughing, and she and Liu Hui stood aside to watch the fun.
"Come, let me see what you took!" Xia Youyou walked over and took a look into the basket.
"Oh, soap, mirror, hair tie..."
Xia Youyou didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "No, what are you going to do with these?"
She said everything one by one. Xianren Jin was fine, but Li Jinfeng, who was standing in the crowd, blushed.
"Oh~" the people in the kitchen started to make a noise, "Of course these are gifts for your wives!"
Idle Jin laughed foolishly and looked at Li Jinfeng. Li Jinfeng scoffed at him and turned her head away, not daring to look him in the eye. Since their marriage, the two had been quite sweet.
Xia Youyou kindly let him go and waved for Li Jinfeng to come up. "Your family's Jinbao helped you get the things. Now it's your turn. You better seize the opportunity!"
"Okay, boss lady!" Li Jinfeng rubbed her hands, took the empty basket from Liu Hui, and walked to the door of the small supermarket.
"Are you ready?" Qi Siling asked while looking at his watch.
"alright!"
"start!"
Everyone started counting again, and the noise attracted many neighbors to watch.
I was particularly interested in this novel way of playing, but since I was not an employee of Anhai Hotel, I could only watch!
After a lively rush for New Year's goods, everyone had a great time and Xia Youyou laughed so hard that her stomach hurt.
The guesthouse officially closed and everyone went home to celebrate the New Year.
Qi Siling locked all the doors and windows, asked the idle man Jin Dingshi to come and check on them, and then rode his bicycle to take the mother and daughter back to the old house.
Xia Youyou sat on the front bumper, while Liu Hui sat in the back seat.
Qi Siling held the handle with one hand and rubbed her stomach with the other, "Why are you laughing so hard? Does it still hurt?" She was not feeling well today and was a little worried about her.
"It's okay! I'm just happy!"
