Just in time for the hot pot restaurant to end the lunch market, Feng Jiao cut the steamed cake steamed buns into slices, and made a few side dishes such as sour and hot jade cabbage, stewed beans and Zhuguo egg drop soup, and beckoned everyone to come over and eat together.

Granny Li in the hot pot restaurant was packing up her things and greeted a dishwasher worker: "Sister-in-law Zhang, the food from the host's side is ready." Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve. I can understand that you don't have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with us and want to be reunited with your family. But now it's past lunch. It's also a hassle for you to go home and turn on the fire to cook. Why don't you stay and eat with all of us? ”

Sister-in-law Zhang shook her head resolutely, pursed her lips and said, "Why are you embarrassed to trouble the owner to cook for us?" My wife, son, and daughter-in-law are all waiting, and I still have to go home as soon as possible. ”

"Really? Then I won't keep you. As she spoke, Granny Li took out a sealed red envelope and stuffed it into Sister-in-law Zhang's hand: "This is a red envelope given by the owner, you have taken it." ”

"Oh, the owner is so polite, I paid this month's salary in advance on the day of the new year, and now I have a red envelope, I really don't know what to say as an old woman."

Sister-in-law Zhang said politely, with a respectful and happy smile on her face, she took the red envelope from Granny Li's hand, put it in her arms, said goodbye to everyone one by one, and left the hot pot restaurant.

When Sister-in-law Zhang left the street where the Fengfu wine shop and hot pot restaurant were located, she breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Since she became a dishwasher in a hot pot restaurant, she has not stayed for lunch once, nor has she tasted the craftsmanship of the Fengjiao girl who has been praised by everyone.

It's not that she doesn't want to, but because she doesn't dare.

On the necks of their families hangs a sharp blade that will fall and kill them at some point.

Walking to the door of her house, Sister-in-law Zhang took a deep breath, tried her best to remain calm, so that her expression could not see anything abnormal, and then pushed open the door and walked into the house with her feet raised.

A young man with a child in his arms greeted Sister-in-law Zhang.

"Mother, you're back! I'll simmer all the food in the pot for you. Wait a minute, you can eat it while it's hot. The man said.

After saying this, he cautiously glanced towards the largest room in the middle of the courtyard, lowered his voice, and said in a snort-like tone, "Because you came back late today, the ...... It seems that something is not quite right in the mood. Wait a minute, you'll have to be careful. ”

"Good. I know. Hurry up and take the baby back to the house. On this cold day, don't freeze your child. Sister-in-law Zhang said.

And at this time, it seemed that because of the sound of the courtyard, the pleasant voice of a young woman came from the room.

"Sister-in-law Zhang, are you back? Did something happen at the Fengfu Wine Store today? Why did you come back so late? ”

Maybe it was because of the impatience in the young woman's voice, Sister-in-law Zhang was so frightened that her knees weakened, and she hurriedly walked a few steps into the room, fell to her knees with a pop, and said to the woman in the room: "Today, because the Fengjiao girl in the Fengfu wine shop wants to break through the advanced level, she can't take care of business, and there are many customers in the hot pot restaurant, and she has only come back until now......
