The twenty-eighth day of the lunar month.

Chinese New Year's Eve is just around the corner.

The taste of the year of 97 is far stronger than that of more than ten years later, the noisy sound of gongs and drums is the rhythm of marrying daughters and daughters, ancestor worship can last from the twenties of the month to the thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the red couplets on the streets and alleys, although the life is barren, but simple, but vivid.

Through the dark cyan transparent glass of the Baihuwan Restaurant, looking at the bustling and crowded Jinggangshan Road below, Zhang Chen's heart is still full of emotion, more than ten years later, I want to see such a New Year's flavor may only be in the photo frame and the documentary.

Of course, at this time, the flavor of the New Year is very strong, simple and simple, and it is also very real, and it is by no means pretentious for the sake of giving new words.

When I was young, I always longed for the New Year, of course, the taste of the New Year when I was young was always so real, there were always so many expectations, and I always got so little, a red five yuan, a blue pick-up block, a good gun, and even a few two kicks.

The customs of the hundred cities are relatively chaotic, and there are no uniform rules, so although the Chinese New Year's Eve is still one day away, the sound of artillery battles can actually be heard everywhere around the county seat, and the people and horses of the major surnames to worship their ancestors are one after another, colorful flags are fluttering, and there are people who are going to other places, and some who are returning from other places and some are going to other places. In short, a qiē is very harmonious.

The ancestors were very happy, so the weather was very good these days, the wind was light and the clouds were light, even in the big winter, the sun was very bright, but the streets were full of people, rubbing shoulders and heels, it was really terrible.

In this era, there were still relatively few vehicles on the streets of Baicheng, so almost all sides of the road were piled up with trolleys shouldering all kinds of hawkers, and the most eye-catching thing was that it was laid out, at least more than ten meters wide on the cement floor, crucian carp, silver carp, grass carp herring and more than a dozen kinds of freshwater fish were piled up in a pile, or spread on the ground.

The bustle of the vegetable market can be said to be very popular, but people who come and go seem to find that under the original Yushan Hotel, it seems that the crowd is gathering more and more.

"Isn't the Yushan Hotel demolished, what are you doing there?"

"How long have you not been in the county, the Yushan Hotel has long been demolished, and now it is no longer called the Yushan Hotel, but now it is called Baihuwan Commercial Plaza."

"What for?"

"I don't know, I've heard."

――――

"I heard that it is a restaurant, I went in yesterday to take a look, now the first and second floors are nothing, the rooms are knocked out, the decoration is very good, the third floor did not go, but the carpenter who works in it said that the first, second and third floors are now decorated, and I don't know what to do, the fourth and fifth floors are going to open restaurants."

"Is there really a restaurant?"

Baihu Bay was indeed opened on the 28th of the lunar month.

Zhang Chen had already decided a week ago, as the first flagship store in the true sense of Baihu Bay, Baicheng Baihu Bay bears too many responsibilities, and it can be said that it can only succeed and not fail.

Of course, the Yushan Hotel has long disappeared, and there may never be a Yushan Hotel in the future, but Zhao Yongyuan is actually holding back his anger, after all, he has worked in the Yushan Hotel for more than ten years, and he was once squeezed out, and it is still unfair competition, and it is not easy to swallow this breath.

Zhao Yongyuan's family is a small two-story building near Lao Cai on Chuangxin Road in Nancheng, and he has been a manager for so many years, and his family conditions are naturally not bad, and it should be said that he can be regarded as a wealthy class even in the county.

But Zhao Yongyuan's emphasis on economic conditions has declined a lot over the years, after all, there are savings at home, and he doesn't panic about anything, but it is impossible not to pay attention to the face problem over the years.

The neighbors all know that the eldest son of the old Zhao family is the boss of the Yushan Hotel, and if there is any happy event on weekdays, if you invite a guest to have a meal, you will also greet you directly, and often Zhao Yongyuan will book a better room and time point within an acceptable range.

After so many years, once squeezed out of the game, this change can be imagined, recently Zhao Yongyuan and his daughter-in-law Liang Huan can be regarded as seeing through the warmth and coldness of human feelings, when her old Zhao was still in the Yushan Hotel, it was a sister-in-law called affectionately, this thing just poked out, I can't wait to walk around the road when I meet, and I can't shirk it when I call someone on the street on weekdays, for fear of causing some trouble, and her old Zhao family is not guilty of something terrible.

In the past half a month, Zhao Yongyuan has been busy going in and out, and she doesn't know what to do, most of them think that she is busy with the final handover of Yushan Hotel.

got up early in the morning on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, and Liang Huan finally couldn't help it.

"Yongyuan, it's only 6 o'clock, why are you getting up and going, come back and sleep again."

The person hadn't woken up in a daze, and it was not warm on this cold day, the quilt opened a stream of cold air and got in, and the quilt suddenly became cold, Liang Huan opened his eyes and saw Zhao Yongyuan dressing vigorously on the edge of the bed.

"You can sleep, I have something to do when I go out, I won't come back for dinner at noon today, you and Liang Liang can go to your mother-in-law's house, I don't know when I will come back at night." If it's too late, I'll stay in the store for one night and make do with it. ”

It's good that Zhao Yongyuan didn't say this, but as soon as he said it, Liang Huan became angry.

You said that for so many days, it doesn't matter if you go out early and return late without saying a word, and the family understands him, after all, no one will be happy about this matter, but this is the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, and the New Year will be celebrated soon, not to mention anything else, except for the New Year's goods that Liang Huan buys on the street from time to time, nothing has been done, and even the couplets are still waiting for him to choose. It's good now, not only did I leave early and return late, but I didn't even plan to go home.

"Sleep, sleep, Zhao Yongyuan, you will die outside!"

This is a typical woman who spilled, they are all old husbands and wives, Zhao Yongyuan didn't bother to take care of her, put on his shoes, picked up the dark gray blazer on the hanger and went downstairs to wash it, but Liang Huan was still energetic.

"Zhao Yongyuan, you sue me, are you doing something outside, Yushan Hotel has been closed for so many days, and there is something you need to do for half a month and you haven't done it yet, you still go out on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, if you don't sue me today, don't go, I'll tell you!"

"You let go!"

"Don't let it go!"

"You can't let it go, it's cold this day, and I'll catch a cold after a while, can you let it go and go back and lie down?"

Seeing that Liang Huan was only wearing a set of cotton sweaters, and the temperature in the room on this cold day was not so high, Zhao Yongyuan's tone suddenly softened, and he reached out and pulled her shoulder.

"Don't touch me, don't you say it! You don't say we're not done today! ”

"I said, can you not always be so chasing after the wind and shadows? What can I do if I go out so early, if there is something to do, who wants to get up so early and run out, the hot quilt at home does not sleep, I am sick, me? ”

"Who knows if you're out there!"

Zhao Yongyuan was also angry, this was just the anger, he pulled out the clothes in Liang Huan's hand and swept them to the desk next to him, and there were several glasses that were "snapped" and broken, but fortunately there was no water in it.

The sound of footsteps on the stairs was immediately heard.

"Forever, Huanhuan, the husband and wife are not yet dawn in the morning, what kind of contradiction is there! What can't you say well, Yongyuan, you bastard, you want to go out so neatly dressed? ”

When Old Man Zhao saw the clothes on his son's body, he was immediately so angry that he blew his beard and glared, it had not been smooth in the past few days, this son and his daughter-in-law were still making trouble at home, who could this heart! Zhao Yongyuan's mother, who was also wearing a cotton sweater, ran over and grabbed her daughter-in-law's hand, pushed her onto the bed, wrapped her in the quilt, and began to count her old son.

"Yongyuan, what are you doing here, Huanhuan said what are you going to do like this?"

"Mom, I didn't say anything to him, I just asked him what he was doing in the morning, and he said that he might not come back at night to live in the store, and he was hairy today, and he didn't even do the New Year's goods, and he didn't leave home all day, let me ask if there was something wrong?"

"Yongyuan, you say, what's going on? Huanhuan is right, it's already the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, and the family is waiting for you to do everything for the New Year, what are you going to do if you don't go home, Yushan Hotel has long been closed, do you still need people there? ”

"Yongyuan, tell me! Huanhuan also cares about you, even if you don't worry about your mother and me, you have to consider her mood. ”

Zhao Yongyuan eased his chest, he really didn't blame the family for this, but he didn't have anything to say about the bitterness in his heart, Baihuwan was newly opened, his responsibilities as a manager were very important, and the treatment given to him by the boss could be said to be one in a thousand, or even one in a thousand. If Baihuwan is not good, how can I have face to talk about, and how can I be embarrassed to continue to stay.

But where else could he go to find such good conditions other than White Lake Bay? Except for Baihu Bay, where else can he go to save the face that was trampled under the feet of Wang Xuejun's bastard? Aside from White Lake Bay, where else can he find the pride that made his family proud?

Now he's thinking about one thing.

The 28th day of the lunar month is the big day for the opening of Baihu Bay!
