Du Shaojie stayed in the hospital for an hour and then said goodbye.
Back in the old street, he went to wish Uncle Chai a happy new year. He didn't know many people in Yangcheng. Director Luo went back to his hometown before the New Year, so he basically had nowhere to go.
Uncle Chai wanted to take him to dinner at home, and Du Shaojie didn't hesitate to drink a few cups with him.
When he got home, he received a call from Xiaomei.
"Brother, Xiaoya, Meiqin and Yanzi are all here. Do you want to talk to them?"
Xiaomei called in the morning, but Du Shaojie went to the hospital at that time and no one answered.
At noon, Liang Meiqin and Qi Yan came to wish Wang Yuxiu a happy new year, so they came to the cafeteria of the medical school again and called Du Shaojie.
This time it was very smooth and the call was connected quickly.
"Okay, give them the phone."
The brother and sister chatted for a while, and Du Shaojie said a few words to Qi Yan and Liang Meiqin respectively.
Nothing else was said, anyway, they were all some blessings, and the New Year's Day was about a good start.
Liang Meiqin was fine, after all, the two had been separated for a short time. Qi Yan seemed to have a lot to say, but she didn't know where to start, mainly because there was someone next to her.
Half an hour later, the call ended.
Du Shaojie felt a little bored, so he went to the flower market alone.
The flower market during the Spring Festival is a major feature of Guangzhou. The flow of people is quite large, and it is basically crowded. If it were normal, he would never like to join in the fun, but he was really bored at this moment and found it quite interesting.
He walked slowly and even forgot the time. When he got home, it was dark.
The next morning, Du Shaojie came to the hospital again, and Liao Yongxin happily told him that he could be discharged tomorrow.
He finally put his worries aside completely, but the master had to take good care of himself after returning, so he didn't have to rush to work. Anyway, Yan Dabao and others can take on the responsibility, and the store can be separated from Liao Yongxin.
The third day of the first lunar month.
Du Shaojie went to pick up Liao Yongxin from the hospital and sent him home, and then he went directly to Shenzhen.
[Seafood Restaurant] There are more people left here, and Xiao Jianjun and Zhang Yufei didn't go back. His arrival surprised everyone. They thought the boss had returned to Xijiang.
"Let's have a barbecue tonight, is that okay?"
"No problem, no problem."
In the evening.
Du Shaojie lit the barbecue stove at the door of [Seafood House], and Xiao Jianjun went to buy some ingredients in advance.
On the third day of the New Year, some people were already open for business. Although the ingredients were not complete, it was more than enough for a barbecue.
Among the people who stayed behind, there was a chef who was responsible for barbecue. In addition, Du Shaojie marinated the ingredients himself, and it seemed that today's barbecue tasted particularly good.
Everyone sat together, a total of 8 people, and opened three bottles of white wine.
"Boss, the seafood restaurant in the village didn't take a holiday at all. The business has been booming these days. I regret it a little. If I had known it would be like this, I should have kept more people and we wouldn't close the door."
After Xiao Jianjun drank a few glasses, he began to feel a little dizzy.
Zhang Yufei listened to him and nodded continuously.
It was really boring to stay here. I thought there would be no business during the Spring Festival, but who knew that the business would be so good.
"Forget it, after a year of hard work, we should let everyone go back to celebrate the New Year and take a break?"
Du Shaojie didn't think so. Most shops would be closed during the Spring Festival. Occasionally, there were a few open, and of course the business was good.
But they sacrificed their rest time, so there was no need to envy them.
He stayed here for two days and returned to Guangzhou on the fifth day of the first lunar month.
On this day, most of the businesses started to open, and the market gradually returned to its former bustle.
Du Shaojie couldn't sit still, so he summoned two people who stayed behind, and the [BBQ restaurant] started business in the evening of the same day. Yan Dabao and others had nothing to do, so they also came to help. Only one person was left on duty at [Xichuan Restaurant].
The ingredients that were originally prepared were all cleared out before 10 o'clock in the evening.
The business was indeed very good, but it also made everyone very tired.
Fortunately, starting from the second day, all the staff returned one after another, and everything was back on track.
Du Xiaomei and Liang Meiqin also returned to Guangzhou on the seventh day of the first lunar month. Xiaomei had no choice, as the holiday was only a few days long. Liang Meiqin felt that Du Shaojie would be lonely spending the New Year alone in Guangzhou, so she returned before the Lantern Festival was over.
"Brother, Sister Yanzi asked me to give you this letter."
Du Xiaomei brought a letter from Qi Yan and gave it to her brother when no one was around.
Du Shaojie returned to his room, opened the letter, and couldn't help but sigh after reading it.
Qi Yan went home for the New Year this time and had a very bad relationship with her family because her family insisted on introducing her to a boyfriend. Qi Yan refused, so her mother said some unpleasant words to her, and Qi Yan was furious and prepared to go back to school.
According to the letter, the other party should have been on the train to Beijing at this moment.
"This guy, he doesn't know how to be more tactful, and he always confronts everything head-on."
At this moment, Du Shaojie felt a little sorry for Qi Yan.
The reason why Qi Yan came to this point must have something to do with him. But both of them are very proud in their hearts, and neither of them is willing to bow to the other.
As a result, the two of them drifted apart. If Qi Yan hadn't always had an obsession in her heart, the two of them would have gone their separate ways long ago.
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, all stores opened for business.
In the next few days, Du Shaojie went to visit Director Luo and Cai Jing, and spent two happy days with Liang Meiqin. He became more and more worried about Qi Yan's condition, and finally couldn't help but fly to Beijing.
During the winter vacation, there were also students who did not go home in the dormitory. They were not allowed to live there, but the canteen stopped serving meals.
Qi Yan remembered this problem when she returned to school. While scolding someone, she went downstairs very aggrieved and prepared to go out of school for dinner. She didn't have much money on her. Wasn't she angry? It was impossible to ask her family for money.
The wind outside was very strong. Qi Yan tightened her scarf and walked with her head down.
Suddenly, she seemed to realize something, stopped abruptly, and looked up to see a face that made her love and hate.
"Shaojie!"
At this time, Qi Yan had thrown her personality aside and threw herself into Du Shaojie's arms.
Du Shaojie revisited the old place, with too many feelings in his heart.
But he didn't say anything. After Qi Yan calmed down a little, he took her out of the campus to eat.
"You still have some conscience! In fact, I also know that my mother is doing this for my own good, but I just can't accept that my life is arranged by others. Tell me, are you a playboy?"
Qi Yan was eating delicious food, and tears were about to fall.
Fortunately, she was studying for a master's degree and had a subsidy every month, otherwise she couldn't even afford to eat.
Qi Yan's mother felt that Du Shaojie was not worthy of her daughter, and that Du Shaojie was unreliable and didn't look like a good man who could live with his wife.
As a result, because Qi's mother's style of doing things was more overbearing, she successfully aroused her daughter's rebellious psychology.
"What are you talking about? You're just daydreaming all day and eating your meal."
Du Shaojie knew Qi Yan's character too well and would never spoil her.
Some questions were wrong no matter how you answered them, so just don't answer them.
"Humph! Guilty guy."
However, Qi Yan fell for this. It didn't work if others were mean to her, but Du Shaojie was mean to her, and she felt at ease.
The two had been getting along in this way since they were young. Du Shaojie had always been distant to her, and Qi Yan would not rush to pay for him, but no one could forget the other.
After dinner, Du Shaojie stuffed 3,000 yuan into Qi Yan's pocket and told her to save it later.
"I don't want it."
"This is not for you. You have to pay it back when you get a job."
Qi Yan finally accepted the 3,000 yuan. She is in a difficult period now, unless she is willing to bow to her mother.
As for Qi Yan's father, forget it. He has no status in the family. Her father can only listen to what her mother says.
After dinner, Qi Yan followed Du Shaojie to the hotel.
This time when he came to Beijing, Du Shaojie stayed in a better hotel. Although it was a bit far from Qi Yan's school, it was no more than 10 minutes' drive.
"You can accompany me to go around these two days. I want to rent or buy a storefront. I think traditional Sichuan cuisine still has a big market. If we open one in several big cities, the effect should be very good."
After entering the room, Du Shaojie went to boil water for tea.
Qi Yan listened to his story quietly, but an emotion was quietly growing in her heart.
The sudden arrival of the other party made her unable to help herself.
After Du Shaojie finished speaking, he didn't hear any response, and then he saw Qi Yan sitting there with her head down, wondering what she was thinking about.
He stood up and slowly walked to Qi Yan, leaned down and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Qi Yan raised her head and felt that her lips were blocked.
After twisting a few times, she was lost in the tenderness. Until this moment, she felt that her persistence had meaning.
After a long time.
The two separated.
Du Shaojie touched his lips, took a few steps back, went to the bathroom and saw that there was a deep tooth mark on his lips.
"You are a dog."
Du Shaojie seemed to have had a dream. This was Qi Yan's style. That shy and timid look was all pretended. It was ridiculous that he almost believed it.
"You deserve it! Let's go, go out for a walk."
Qi Yan smiled heartily, as if nothing had happened before.
At this moment, she felt extremely satisfied in her heart, and at the same time, she let out a breath of anger. Don't think you are a fool, this guy has been flirting with Meiqin for several years, and he has wanted to bite him for a long time.
Du Shaojie sighed, and then left the hotel with Qi Yan.
In the next two days, the two went to many places, and finally found a suitable yard in the Fuwai area.
The yard faces the street, and there is a row of tiled houses facing the street. The backyard is not big, and it is not a courtyard layout, but it is very suitable for opening a restaurant.
The owner only sells it and does not rent it, and the asking price is 35,000.
Maybe the yard in the alley will be much cheaper, but what he needs first is not a residence, but a storefront.
This location is not bad, and the size of the yard is also suitable. (End of this chapter)
