Chapter 302 New Year
He Zui didn't insist that Chen Wenjiu give him an answer right now, so he just quietly watched a fireworks show with her, and then accompanied her back to the restaurant after it got dark.
The New Year's Eve dinner for the hotel staff started at 11 o'clock in the evening. At this time, the other guests in the hotel had basically finished their meals, and only the hotel staff were left in the restaurant.
He Zui and his friends, as well as the store manager Chen Wenjiu, spent the New Year with the employees, eating and drinking together, and counting down the New Year together.
Considering that Chen Wenjiu, Wei Xiaohong, Chen Jiarong, Cai Xia and other local employees of Maoyang Village would go home to have New Year's Eve dinner with their families, they probably wouldn't be able to eat too many dishes when they were together at night, so He Zui and his friends also prepared some snacks.
For example, spicy duck neck, five-spice duck neck, braised duck feet, spicy rabbit head, boneless chicken feet, boneless duck feet, five-spice melon seeds, lamp-shadow beef shreds, millet rice crust, etc. These snacks were all made by He Zui and two chefs, and the taste was much better than those sold outside.
Chen Wenjiu had just finished the New Year's Eve dinner at her grandparents' house. She was now sitting aside, chewing duck necks and chicken feet. She also ate a few bites of some of the delicacies on the table, but she couldn't eat too much.
"How are you and Chef He?" Nie Zhenzhen was sitting next to Chen Wenjiu, so she took advantage of the lively time to lean over to her ear and asked quietly.
"Have you promised Chef He to date him? Not pretending to be a boyfriend or girlfriend, but a serious relationship." Nie Zhenzhen asked.
"Not yet..." Chen Wenjiu shook her head and said, "My thoughts are still a little confused now, and I plan to calm down first."
Nie Zhenzhen didn't urge her, but patted her hand and said, "It's good to think it over."
Chen Wenjiu glanced at He Zui, who was talking to Wang Cong over there. His young and handsome face seemed to glow, and he was really very handsome.
Chen Wenjiu lowered her head as she looked at him, because the other party was too handsome, and he told her that he liked her. In this situation, it was hard for her not to have a faster heartbeat.
Today's New Year's Eve dinner was really lively. Although everyone didn't go home to celebrate the New Year with their families, their colleagues in the hotel were also their family, and everyone was very happy to get together.
Chen Wenjiu accompanied everyone to eat and drink until 12:30, and everyone dispersed before 1:00 in the morning, and at midnight, there was another fireworks show outside.
At midnight, the custom here is to set off firecrackers again, and rich people who bought fireworks will also set off fireworks at this time.
Chen Wenjiu didn't know if other places were the same as theirs. Anyway, at midnight, the hotel set off electronic fireworks and electronic firecrackers, and the fireworks show slowly ended at 12:30.
At 1:00, Chen Wenjiu had just finished washing up and lay down, and she saw various messages in the group, including her college classmates' group, dormitory group, family group, and sister group.
Chen Wenjiu thought about it, it seems that she didn't send red envelopes today? So she sent red envelopes to each group. Of course, one red envelope was definitely not much, and 88.8 was the highest red envelope amount.
After sending the red envelopes, Chen Wenjiu turned off her phone, closed her eyes and went to sleep. She hadn't slept so late for a long time, and she was really sleepy now.
Originally, she thought that He Zui confessed to her, and she would be too excited to sleep, but now she fell asleep slowly after touching the pillow.
The next morning, Chen Wenjiu woke up after a full sleep. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, relatives from the same village were going to come to visit the New Year, and the sound of firecrackers did not disturb her. After all, the sound insulation of the hotel building is very good.
When Chen Wenjiu rubbed her sleepy eyes and got up, it was already 8:30 in the morning. After washing her face, brushing her teeth, changing clothes, she opened the French window of her room, and then welcomed the noise of firecrackers.
Electronic firecrackers are also disposable items. In addition to the sound being as loud as real firecrackers, they do not produce any pollution. Moreover, the material of electronic firecrackers is degradable, so it is easy to degrade after use and throw it away, which will not cause pollution to the environment.
The villagers bought a lot of electronic firecrackers, so they started to visit relatives during the Spring Festival. Every family would welcome many relatives to visit.
When Chen Wenjiu opened her mobile phone, there were several messages on her mobile phone. She looked at them and didn't talk much. She just poured herself a glass of honey water and drank it.
After drinking the honey water, Chen Wenjiu went downstairs. The New Year's Eve dinner last night was too rich. She didn't want to eat anything when she got up this morning.
"Good morning, what do you want to eat?" He Zui, who was busy in the kitchen of the restaurant, saw the girl who appeared in the restaurant and asked naturally.
"Ah?" Chen Wenjiu didn't hear clearly what he asked after hearing his voice. After he repeated it, he replied, "Eat something simple? I don't have much appetite. I don't want to eat sweet or meat."
She really ate too much meat last night. She didn't want to eat any meat today. It's easy to get tired. I don't want to eat sweet food, because it's too greasy.
Just now, she drank honey water. She could mix a small spoonful of honey into a whole cup of water, and the sweetness was not very obvious.
"Then stir-fry some pickled vegetables? Eat with porridge?" He Zui asked.
"Okay." Chen Wenjiu said helplessly. She really didn't have much appetite, especially when firecrackers were set off outside, she became even more irritable.
Why didn't she ask to lower the volume of the firecrackers when she ordered electronic firecrackers from Gao Xinfeng and the others? There are a series of firecrackers outside now and then, which is really noisy.
He Zui quickly fried the sauerkraut. The sauerkraut he fried was made from mustard greens and added some chili sauce he made himself. It was sour and spicy and very appetizing.
Considering that Chen Wenjiu is from Qiongnan and is not a big fan of spicy food, the spicy sauce is relatively low and is acceptable to her.
When Chen Wenjiu was having breakfast with his rice bowl, Chen Jialing appeared in the restaurant like a wandering spirit. She was listless and could hardly open her eyes.
"Sister? Did you get up so early today?" Chen Wenjiu was really surprised when he saw Chen Jialing. It's only nine o'clock in the morning, right? Doesn't her sister always get up between ten and twelve o'clock in the morning?
After getting up and going to the bathroom, washing her face and brushing her teeth, almost an hour had passed when her sister finally felt energetic enough to do other things.
So, did she get up at eight o'clock in the morning today? Get up earlier than she does? But she remembered that when she went to bed last night, her sister was still online in the group and looked very energetic.
"Can't sleep..." Chen Jialing sat directly opposite Chen Wenjiu and said weakly.
"What's wrong?" Chen Wenjiu asked.
"Noisy." Chen Jialing lay down on the table. Fortunately, the tables in the restaurant were very clean and there would be no oil stains. She didn't have to worry about soiling her clothes or her body while lying down.
Chen Wenjiu frowned and said, "Are the firecrackers noisy?"
"Yeah." Chen Jialing said.
She stayed up until two-thirty in the morning and went to bed at almost three o'clock in the morning last night. However, she was woken up by the sound of firecrackers at seven o'clock in the morning. She only slept for about four hours, and she didn't get enough sleep at all.
"Save me a bed in the lounge for a while. I want to sleep here." Chen Jialing said.
The sound insulation of their house was really poor. The sound of firecrackers and fireworks during the Chinese New Year was so noisy that she really couldn't sleep.
Chen Wenjiu looked at his cousin's appearance and could only nod his head and said that he would leave her a bed in the lounge so that she could catch up on her sleep.
