The weather was getting colder and colder. In the morning, the dead branches in the yard were covered with a layer of white frost.
Tong Xuelu took out Tong Mianmian's thick cotton jacket and dressed the little girl up like a ball.
Tong Mianmian climbed down from the bed with difficulty and went to brush her teeth and wash her face.
Tong Xuelu followed her and saw that it was difficult for her to brush her teeth with her short paws, so she asked her, "Mianmian, do you want your sister to help you brush your teeth?"
Tong Mianmian shook her head and said in a baby voice, "No, Mianmian can brush my teeth by myself. Look at how white my teeth are after brushing them."
As she spoke, she grinned, revealing a mouthful of small, neat, and beautiful teeth.
Tong Jiaxin, who was walking out of the room, paused when he heard this, and had the urge to walk back.
But the sharp-eyed Tong Mianmian had already seen him: "Third brother, come and brush your teeth. You are toothless now because you don't like to brush your teeth. You look like an old lady!"
Tong·Like an Old Lady·Jiaxin: "..."
Generally, children start to change their teeth at the age of four or five. Maybe children of this generation have little nutrition and change their teeth later. Tong Jiaxin just started to change his teeth recently.
He seemed to have been holding it in for a long time before. This time, he lost four or five teeth in a row. Now, not only does he have a lisp when he speaks, but he can't eat a lot of meat.
Tong Mianmian didn't understand the meaning of changing teeth. She just thought that Tong Jiaxin lost his teeth because he didn't brush his teeth, so she would warn her third brother from time to time.
Tong Jiaxin had a hard time speaking.
Tong Xuelu washed up and went to the kitchen to cook wontons.
The wontons were made last night. Now all they had to do was throw them into the water and cook.
The wontons were ready very quickly. Tong Xuelu filled four bowls. The brothers Tong Jiaming and Tong Jiaxin had been waiting in the kitchen since early morning, their stomachs rumbling with the aroma.
Seeing that the wontons were ready, they hurried to the living room with the bowls in their hands.
The wontons made by Tong Xuelu had very thin skins, and the fillings were made of pork, mushrooms and fungus. The soup was added with pork fat, and there were green onions floating on top, which looked very appetizing.
Tong Jiaxin didn't care about the scalding, and swallowed a wonton with a slurp. It was so scalding that he screamed, but he didn't want to spit out even a bit.
The crispness of the black fungus, the richness of the mushrooms, and the aroma of the lard and pork blended together perfectly. At the end of the meal, there was a sweet taste that filled the whole mouth.
It was so delicious! It was so delicious!
Tong Jiaxin, who had no teeth, ate one wonton at a time, and his eyes narrowed.
After the meal, Tong Xuelu took Tong Mianmian to Wei's house and sent the remaining uncooked wontons over. It
was too expensive to demolish the house and rebuild a hotel. The Finance Department did not want to spend the money, so after a meeting, it was decided to renovate a nearby teahouse that had been abandoned for several years and then turn it into a hotel.
The teahouse used to be a public-private partnership, but later people died of food poisoning, so no one dared to eat there, and the hotel could not continue to operate.
Tong Xuelu went to the new hotel to see it. It was an old-style teahouse with two floors. There were still many old furnitures inside, which was very antique.
It was a waste for such a teahouse to be abandoned. Fortunately, it was going to be reopened now.
Tong Xuelu made some suggestions and requests of her own. She liked this kind of antique building very much, so she planned to preserve this feature.
Of course, it is still a sensitive period now. At most, the furniture and the original design of the teahouse can be preserved. If you want to hang ancient celebrities and famous paintings inside, it is impossible. If you want to hang, you can only hang the portrait of the Chairman. Now
the decoration is almost done and it will open next week.
Tong Xuelu was in a better mood when she thought about going to the new hotel.
When she came to the hotel, she saw from a distance that there were three more people at the door of the hotel than usual.
Seeing Tong Xuelu coming over, six pairs of eyes fell on her.
Guo Chunyu, Meng Qingqing, and Guo Weiping hurriedly greeted her: "Good morning, Manager Tong!"
Tong Xuelu: "Good morning."
Seeing this, the three newcomers hurried to make up for the loss: "Good morning, Manager Tong."
A middle-aged man in his forties said: "I am the new master Fu Lei Dayong, I was introduced by Minister Lin."
The young man next to him who was less than 20 years old said: "I am the apprentice Xiaotian, I was also introduced by Minister Lin."
The last female comrade in her twenties said: "I am the waiter Wu Lizhu, I was introduced by Minister Lin's wife."
Two people were introduced by Minister Lin, and one was introduced by Minister Lin's wife.
Got it, they are all relatives.
Tong Xuelu smiled and said, "You guys are here today? I thought you would report in two days. It's cold outside. Let's go inside and talk."
The three newcomers were relieved when they saw how enthusiastic Tong Xuelu was.
On the contrary, Guo Chunyu and the other three old friends started to get nervous.
The newcomers were all relatives of Minister Lin. Wouldn't they be able to walk around the hotel like crazy in the future?
Would there be room for them in the hotel in the future?
Tong Xuelu seemed not to notice the expressions of the crowd. She walked over to open the door and then led the group inside.
After entering, Tong Xuelu asked someone to open the window and then started the meeting.
"Master Meng will be back in a few days. Our hotel is getting more and more lively. In order to work better together in the future, everyone should introduce themselves in detail. Let's start with Master Lei."
Lei Dayong saw that Tong Xuelu pointed to him first, and a smug look appeared on his face: "I used to be a master chef in a state-owned hotel in Jinshi for eight years and have a second-level chef certificate."
Tong Xuelu: "Very good, I have a first-level chef certificate, we can learn from each other in the future."
Lei Dayong's bubble just popped out When he was exposed while drinking, he said in a humble tone: "How dare I compete with Manager Tong? Manager Tong won the first place in cooking. I should learn from you."
Tong Xuelu smiled and said: "There must be a teacher among three people. Everyone has his own advantages. Master Lei came from Jinshi. He must know a lot of dishes there. This way, we can enrich the cuisine of our hotel."
Lei Dayong thought she was going to hit him, but now he was a little confused when he saw her encouraging him again.
Master Lei was a veteran in the workplace, and he had a relationship with Minister Lin. If his arrogance was not suppressed at the beginning, he would be even more arrogant in the future.
But it's not good to suppress them too much, after all, they have the relationship with Minister Lin, so the best way is to give them a good bet.
Xiaotian is 19 years old this year. Because of poor health, he has not worked since graduating from junior high school. He is a newcomer in the workplace.
Waitress Wu Lizhu graduated from high school and worked as a temporary worker in a garment factory before. She is a half-baked person in the workplace.
Then Tong Xuelu asked Meng Qingqing and others to introduce themselves.
After all the introductions were finished, Tong Xulu continued: "It is a kind of fate that we can work together in this hotel. Some of you are old employees and have done a very good job before. I hope you can continue to display the spirit of hard work in the future."
"As for the newcomers, although I don't know your previous performance, you are all relatives of Minister Lin. Minister Lin is a very capable leader. I believe that the people he introduces here will definitely not be bad!"
Everyone present was praised and felt very comfortable.
Tong Xuelu suddenly slapped the table and said, "But, there is no order without rules. Since you have come to this hotel, you should do things according to my rules. If you do well, you will be rewarded, and if you do not do well, you will be punished. I don't care who you are related to or how long you have worked here. Everything should be done according to the rules!"
The three new employees and the three old employees thought it was very fair.
The new employees were worried that Tong Xuelu would favor the old employees. After all, they had worked together for a long time and would be partial to them if they had feelings for each other.
The old employees were worried that Tong Xuelu would favor the new employees because they were related customers. If that happened, they would not only feel disappointed, but also angry.
Now it is best to do everything according to the rules. No one should be partial to anyone, and no one should expect special privileges.
Tong Xuelu saw their expressions and knew that she had made the right move. When
there are too many people, the most worrying thing is that the water is not evenly distributed.
From today on, she will be a master of balancing water.
Tong Xuelu looked at Meng Qingqing and Guo Chunyu: "Qingqing, Chunyu, you two should take good care of Lizhu from today on. If she doesn't understand something, you can't hide it. You have to teach her carefully. Our new hotel will open next week. I don't want to make any jokes!"
Guo Chunyu smiled and said: "Manager Tong, don't worry, we will definitely take good care of Comrade Wu!"
Wu Lizhu heard this and felt relieved.
She was prepared for intrigue before she came. Now that she saw that Manager Tong was fair and other colleagues were getting along well, the idea of intrigue in her heart faded a lot.
After that, Tong Xuelu looked at Master Lei again: "Master Meng hasn't come to work yet. In addition to me being the chef, Xiao Guo also helps a lot. Master Lei, why don't you write down the dishes you know so that we can make unified adjustments later."
Master Lei nodded vigorously: "Okay, I'll think about it later."
When you come to a new hotel, the most fearful thing is to sit on the bench.
The chef is Manager Tong himself. Before he came, he was actually worried that Manager Tong would give him a blow.
Now it seems that he was worrying too much.
After a meeting, everyone was satisfied.
Tong Xuelu still took Guo Weiping to go shopping today, and said that they would take turns from today, and tomorrow Xiaotian would go with her.
When Xiaotian heard this, he was so excited that his face turned red.
Xiaotian is Master Lei's new apprentice. Master Lei was very pleased to see that Manager Tong valued his apprentice.
After leaving the hotel, Tong Xulu sighed in her heart.
It's not easy to be a master of keeping things balanced, but compared to intrigue, she still hopes that the people in the hotel can be more harmonious.
At this time, the Sun family in the northwest was very disharmonious.
After the Sun family's transfer back to Beijing failed, Sun Wuyang and Sun Manrou were scolded and then notified to move out of the military compound in less than two days.
Sun Manrou wanted to find Wen Rugui again, but Wen Rugui had already returned to the base, and Master Wen asked his uncle to drive her out directly.
Sun Manrou had no choice but to follow Sun Wuyang back to the northwest.
After returning to the northwest, the two of them had just stepped into the house when they were slapped in the face.
Grandfather Sun was furious and said, "You two idiots, do you know what stupid things you have done?"
How could they be so capable of destroying other people's feelings, slandering the reputation of lesbians, and instigating others to do illegal things?
Who do they think they are?
In Beijing, anyone with a spit can spit at someone with an extremely powerful identity and background. How can they think they can cover the sky with one hand?
They have worked hard to climb up in these years with the help of Commander Xiao's relationship, but they didn't expect these two idiots to destroy everything with one move!
Commander Xiao has called the Sun family and said that he will no longer acknowledge Sun Manrou as his goddaughter, and the two families will no longer have any contact.
He was so angry that he almost had a heart attack!
Their Sun family had no connections or background, and they had to use some means to climb up to this one strong figure, but now they have nothing!
Sun Wuyang was slapped in the face and lowered his head without saying a word.
He had already begun to regret it when he was in Beijing. Why did he become obsessed with it when he saw Sun Manrou crying?
But it was done, and he was stupid so he admitted it.
What disappointed him the most was Sun Manrou's attitude. From now on, he would pretend that he didn't have a sister like Sun Manrou!
Sun Manrou covered her burning face, panicking in her heart: "Uncle, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have listened to my third brother. I should have persuaded him..."
Sun Wuyang sneered: "Sun Manrou, bullshit, if you say this again, you will get out of my house!"
Sun Manrou looked at him with wide eyes in disbelief: "Third brother, how can you say this? You said I am your biological sister, how can you drive your own sister out?"
Sun Wuyang was too lazy to pay attention to her.
Father Sun got angry when he saw the two idiots: "It's useless for you two to stay with us. No unit dares to accept you now. I've thought about it, you should go to the countryside to be educated youth!"
Go to the countryside to be educated youth?
Sun Manrou was struck by lightning: "Uncle, I'm not in good health. I won't be able to stand going to the countryside."
"If you don't want to go, then you can move in with your mother!"
Sun's father used to love his niece very much, but the more he loved her before, the more upset he was when he saw her. What an ungrateful person she was.
After saying that, Sun's father turned around and left.
Sun Manrou's biological mother had remarried and had two sons a long time ago. She had never wanted Sun Manrou as a daughter from the beginning.
Sun Manrou's chest heaved violently, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
**
Tong Xulu stopped paying attention to the Sun family's affairs. In a blink of an eye, a week passed and their new hotel was about to open.
Second- and third-class hotels are collectively called state-owned hotels, and only first-class hotels are eligible to be named.
Tong Xulu handed the right to name the hotel to Minister Lin. Minister Lin was so happy to see that she was so good at dealing with people that his mouth was almost grinning from ear to ear.
After thinking for a few days, Minister Lin waved his pen and named the new hotel - Dongfeng Hotel.
Tong Xuelu was quite satisfied with the name.
It was a bright sunny day, the first day of the Dongfeng Hotel's opening.
In those days, firecrackers were not allowed, so the only way to celebrate the opening was to borrow a copper bell from someone and knock on the door a few times.
Fortunately, Tong Xuelu had asked the hotel staff to tell the guests about the move last week. The two hotels were not far apart, so at noon, many old customers came.
In addition to the old customers, the Wei and Su families also brought their families to show their support.
Su Yueshen: "Comrade Chairman said that the past is gone, and we should count the heroes of today. Manager Tong is today's heroine and a role model for young people to learn from!"
Tong Xuelu smiled and said, "Deputy Director Su really made me blush. Speaking of the role model for today's learning, it must be you, Deputy Director Su!"
Su Yueshen became the deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee at a young age. With his ability, he will definitely have a bright future.
People around who knew Su Yueshen were so shocked when they saw this scene that their eyes widened.
No wonder Tong Xuelu was able to become the manager of a first-class hotel at a young age. Look at her network of contacts, it's really beyond reach!
Xiaojiu, who was standing by, took Tong Mianmian's hand and said in a baby voice, "Sister Mianmian, why didn't you come to play with me before? I've been waiting for you at home, I missed you so much!"
Tong Mianmian sighed, "My second brother had acne before, and my sister didn't let us go out to play."
Seeing her say it so pitifully, Xiaojiu leaned over and kissed her on the face.
Tong Xuelu saw it and hurried over to separate the two of them, "Xiaojiu, although you two are young, men and women should not be intimate with each other, you can't kiss Mianmian like this outside."
It's not okay to be a hooligan at such a young age.
Xiaojiu blinked his eyes, confused, "But my dad kisses my mom like this at home, why can't I?"
"Bang!"
Su Yueshen, who came over, heard this and his face turned red as a cooked shrimp.
Gu Yilan's cheeks were as red as rouge, and she was too embarrassed to face anyone.
Tong Xuelu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "That's different. Your father and mother are husband and wife, they are married, and you and Mianmian are good friends, so you can't do this in the future, do you understand?"
"Okay, I understand." Xiaojiu thought about it and nodded obediently, then said, "Then if I become husband and wife with Mianmian in the future, can I do this?"
Tong Xuelu: "..."
The little guy wants to get married before his hair is fully grown, he thinks too much!
Tong Mianmian didn't know that she was taken advantage of just now, but now after listening to her sister's words, she vaguely understood that she seemed to have been taken advantage of.
So she walked up with her short legs and said, "Xiaojiu, you can't kiss me. You just kissed me, so I have to kiss you back."
Then she leaned over and kissed Xiaojiu on the face.
Tong Xuelu: "..."
Forget it, her teaching was in vain.
Seeing this, the Su family and the Wei family and others couldn't help laughing.
Fortunately, the two children were very young and no one took them seriously.
The new hotel opened and the business was very prosperous, but it was a pity that Wen Rugui couldn't get a leave to come back.
The two could only express their longing for each other over the phone.
Since moving to the new hotel, the workload has increased a lot.
Purchasing things and managing staff every day, and the translator will come back to visit next month, and she has to prepare for the reception.
Fortunately, hard work is rewarded, and her salary has increased from 50 yuan a month to 70 yuan a month.
In addition, she also took on the position of the third master chef of the hotel, and her monthly salary added up to a total of one hundred yuan.
In this day and age, a salary of one hundred yuan was considered a golden collar, and now her salary alone could support several brothers and sisters of the Tong family.
Tong Xuelu was very busy here, and so was Wen Rugui.
There were a lot of things to do at the experimental base, and he was so busy that he couldn't even return to Beijing to attend Huang Qimin's wedding.
The same was true for Zhou Yan, and neither of them attended Huang Qimin's wedding banquet, so they had to send the gift to him in advance.
Although Huang Qimin felt a little regretful, when he thought about being able to hug his wife happily soon, he immediately forgot about his two brothers.
There are four joys in life: rain after a long drought, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, the wedding night with candles, and passing the imperial examination.
Huang Qimin's new world was opened up on the wedding night.
He felt extremely happy, and he turned from a little chicken into a big yellow chicken.
Huang Qimin had a five-day holiday for his wedding, and he was as happy as a god during these five days.
Five days later, he returned to the base and looked at Wen Rugui and Zhou Yan as if they were two ignorant children.
He gave them the wedding candy he brought from home: "Here, this is the wedding candy for you two, let you get some of my happiness."
When he said this, his neck stretched out like a goose, and his posture looked very strange.
Because it was so strange, Wen Rugui and Zhou Yan couldn't help but see the red spots on his neck.
Wen Rugui frowned and said, "What's wrong with your neck? Could it be a rash due to an allergy?"
Zhou Yan became even more exaggerated and took two steps back: "Huang Goudan, are you having chickenpox? If you do have chickenpox, tell us as soon as possible. The heir of that thing is very powerful!"
"..."
Huang Qimin cursed in his heart.
Bullshit red rash and chickenpox!
The red spots on his neck are the marks left by his happy time with his wife!
Two ignorant and pitiful guys!
