Chapter 252 Team Building
Chen Wenjiu and He Zui went home after strolling around the square. It was almost noon and they had to go back to prepare lunch for Chen Yongtao and the others.
Chen Yongtao and Li Siyue were also a little busy now. It was already early December and the end of the semester was about a month away. They still had a lot of work to do.
"Don't come back if you are too busy at work. Your mother and I will go back when we have a holiday." Chen Yongtao said to his daughter while eating.
Anyway, the transportation is pretty good now. It doesn't take much time to get back to Maoyang Village from the county town. They will go back to accompany their daughter and their parents at home on weekends.
Of course, in the past month, Chen Wenjiu often went to the doomsday plane with He Zui for training. Chen Yongtao and Li Siyue only went back once. After all, their daughter didn't have much time to accompany them. They just spent the weekend with Grandpa Chen and Grandma Chen.
The rest of the time, Chen Yongtao accompanied Li Siyue back to the Li family. As a daughter, it is impossible for Li Siyue to not consider herself as a member of the Li family after being married for many years. After all, her surname is still Li.
"It's okay. Anyway, I'm not that busy now." Chen Wenjiu said. Her experience in the apocalypse this month was indeed very effective, so He Zui was merciful and let her rest for a while. She would go to train after she had rested enough.
"Mom and Dad, you go to see grandpa and grandma. How are they?" Chen Wenjiu asked with concern. She was also worried about the health of her grandpa and grandma. Although she would occasionally take them to soak in the hot spring, she was still worried that the elderly would have any problems at an old age.
Especially her grandpa and grandma are not idle. Although the fields at home don't grow rice, the two old people still grow sweet potatoes, corn and the like. Her grandmother also likes to grow cucumbers. Basically, they are either grown to feed pigs or to feed the family. She can't sit still.
She is worried that her grandpa and grandma are tired and uncomfortable from going out to work in the fields so often.
"It's okay. Your grandpa and grandma are in good health now. Your grandmother's high blood pressure has improved a lot." Li Siyue said happily.
She was also very worried about her mother's health. Two years ago, the old lady fell ill, but Chen Wenjiu was still in school at that time, so after coming back to see her, she had to go back to school. It was her cousin who came back to take care of the old lady for more than a month or nearly two months.
The old lady was really seriously ill at that time. She had to be supported by someone when walking, and her whole body felt a little stiff. Chen Wenjiu's aunt helped her take a bath.
The old lady's health was still not that good after two years of care, but she looked almost the same as before, at least she could move freely.
But she still had high blood pressure, and Chen Wenjiu's grandmother liked to drink. She didn't like to drink for three meals a day like other people, but she would pour a glass of wine every dinner.
Now, Chen Wenjiu was relieved to hear her mother say that her grandmother's health was much better, and her high blood pressure was much better. Only grandpa, he had been sick before, and later he quit smoking and drinking and his health was much better than her grandmother's.
Chen Wenjiu talked to her parents about her grandparents, uncles, cousins, and then talked about Chen Zhuojiu.
Chen Zhuojiu was really like a ghost because of work. Whether he was in Guangdong Province or after returning to Dongling County, he rarely appeared and stayed in the laboratory.
Although he could still send messages to his family from time to time and chat with everyone in the group chat, he did not come back for vacation and stayed in the laboratory all day.
Chen Wenjiu stayed with her parents for a whole afternoon and returned to the village in the afternoon. After all, her parents still had to go to work.
After returning to the hotel, Chen Wenjiu met Yu Xiaoguo who came to report the news to her, saying that the thorns they planted had borne fruit and the fruits were ripe.
One month had passed in the hotel, and three months had passed in Yu Xiaoguo's place. The thorns they planted actually borne fruit in the first year of planting, and they were ripe in three months.
This is because Chen Wenjiu asked Ms. Chen Nuannuan and the wood-type supernatural person from the end of the world to help promote the growth of the thorns, so that the thorns can grow well and quickly, so they can bear fruit and mature so quickly.
After all, according to Chen Nuannuan, the saplings she gave will take about one or two years to bear fruit. The fruiting period of thorns is from August to October, and now it is January for Yu Xiaoguo and his friends.
When Yu Xiaoguo came to the hotel, it was already mid-October. They had been suffering from severe drought since April and May, and they couldn't stand it until October and wanted to flee. Three months have passed, and now it is January for Yu Xiaoguo and his friends.
However, if they work hard, they can still catch up with the Spring Festival. By then, they can sell all the thorn fruits, and the people of Yujia Village can still have a good Spring Festival.
The thorn fruits have borne fruit after being promoted by the wood-type supernatural people. Chen Wenjiu is now very curious about what this fruit looks like, so he is full of interest and is ready to go and take a look.
"I want to go and see it, too." Wang Cong said to Chen Wenjiu with great interest.
Chen Wenjiu looked at Wang Cong, "If you go too, what about the kitchen?"
You know, there are still a lot of customers in their restaurant now, and half of them need Wang Cong and Gao Xi to work together to slightly reduce the burden. Now if Wang Cong goes with her to the fictional Republic of China plane, can Gao Xi handle it alone?
"Manager, you can't treat us as employees of the store. The people of the 'security team' can follow you, but the rest of us haven't had that experience." Wang Cong said, "Do you know how much I want to go and see other planes after I know there are other planes?"
"This time, the thorns of Yu Xiaoguo and his friends are ripe, so I thought about going to see them. Manager, you can't be partial to one and not treat us as employees of the hotel."
"Last time you went to the interstellar for a tour, we didn't say anything. Why don't you take us this time? We also want to experience the feeling of traveling to another time and space."
Chen Wenjiu: "..."
What's wrong with feeling a little guilty? It seems that she really takes the people of the "security team" to other planes every time, and the staff at the front desk and the kitchen have never been there. It seems that she is indeed partial to one and not the other.
"Okay then." Chen Wenjiu looked at He Zui and said, "Why don't you stay in the store and let Chef Wang go with us to harvest thorns?"
He Zui had no objection. After a month of training in the apocalyptic plane, he could still trust Chen Wenjiu's skills. And he also knew that there was no big danger on Yu Xiaoguo's side, and there was no supernatural power, so her safety could still be guaranteed.
This time she was not going alone, but the people from the "security team" went with her, so her safety could be guaranteed.
Even if she really encountered danger, she could run away very quickly and then return to the hotel to avoid danger. So He Zui did not insist on going with them, but promised to stay in the restaurant to work, and let Wang Cong and Gao Xi go with her.
"Do I have to go too?" Gao Xi was a little surprised when he heard He Zui asked him to go with Wang Cong and the others. Although he was also tempted, Gao Xi's sense of responsibility was heavier. He felt that the restaurant would not be able to operate if he left, so he did not say that he wanted to go like Wang Cong.
Unexpectedly, Chef He said that he would be responsible for the kitchen and let Wang Cong and Gao Xi go to another plane to play together.
"This time, you all go with me." He Zui looked at Chen Jianuo and said, "I can do the kitchen by myself."
Chen Jianuo widened his eyes in surprise, "Chef He, are you serious? Are we all going to take a holiday? Can you handle it by yourself?"
"No problem." He Zui said lightly.
Chen Wenjiu tilted her head and looked at He Zui. Seeing that he was still calm and composed, she didn't say anything. She knew that his background was not simple, and his personal ability was not simple, so he should be able to meet the needs of the restaurant's guests by himself in charge of the entire kitchen.
Chef He was the only one in the kitchen, so it was impossible for everyone at the front desk to leave, so Chen Jiana and Cai Xia, who were working, did not go with him, but Chen Jiayue and Wei Xiaohong followed him.
"This time we are going to the fictional Republic of China plane, the environment there may not be very good. Next time, I will take you to the interstellar plane to play."
Anyway, she would never take her front desk and kitchen staff to the apocalyptic plane. It is too dangerous there. If you are not careful, you will be attacked by zombies or mutant plants and animals. Ordinary people like them should not go there.
The interstellar plane is very prosperous and peaceful, which is more suitable for everyone to travel there. Of course, ancient planes such as the Tang Dynasty and the Xia Dynasty can also be visited, but today they can only go to the fictional Republic of China plane.
Because they are going to the northern part of Qin Province, and it is January there, everyone is wearing thick clothes.
Wei Xiaohong, who is wearing a thick down jacket, said helplessly, "I haven't worn such thick clothes for a long time. It's really rare."
After all, the winter in southern Qiongnan was really not that cold before. It was a little colder last year and the year before last, and the temperature dropped to single digits, but in fact, the coldest temperature in southern Qiongnan in winter in previous years should not be lower than 19℃.
But even last winter, people didn't wear as thick clothes as people in the north, and there weren't many people who wore such thick clothes.
"By the way, it snowed in Qin Province, right? That means we can see snow, right?" Chen Jiayue said excitedly.
Chen Jiayue had never left Qiongnan Province and had never seen snow, so she was very excited now.
"Can we see snow?" The other Qiongnan locals were all surprised. People in the south love snow, which is something that people in the north can never experience.
Wang Cong and Gao Xi were not excited about seeing snow. Although it rarely snowed in their hometown, it had snowed before. They were so old and their families were rich. They had been to places in the north where it snowed heavily.
So the excited ones were Chen Jianuo, Chen Jiarong and other young people who had never seen snow - well, Chen Wenjiu was also very excited. She had never seen snow either.
So the group of people who originally planned to go to Yu Xiaoguo's place to see the mature thorns were directly led astray by Chen Jiayue, and everyone was very interested in the snow scene.
Others who have seen snow or are from the north: "..." I don't quite understand the excitement of you southerners.
