In a blink of an eye, Xiao Zixin has been working and living in D City for more than four months. At the end of the year, there are still more than ten days to celebrate the New Year, but Xiao Zixin can't celebrate the New Year at home this year. Because the hotel has a lot of reservations for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at the end of each year, the hotel is particularly busy at this time. That's how you do the service industry, you can't go home for the New Year.

Ming Shao sent a message to Xiao Zixin one day:

Baby! When are you going to go home for the Chinese New Year?

Our hotel can not ask for leave for the New Year, and you can only ask for leave to go home after the third day of the Lunar New Year.

So what to do?

I had no choice but to wait until the end of the year to go home.

Have you bought your tickets yet?

I haven't decided how to buy a ticket on the day I go home.

Ask your manager to see when you can take a leave of absence and go home, and I'll buy a ticket for you.

Good!

Say hello and tell me about it.

Well! During the lunch break, Xiao Zixin asked the manager: Manager! When can I take time off work to go home?

As long as it's the third day of the Lunar New Year, why do you want to go home?

Yes, I would like to take a leave of absence to go home then. My mom asked me to go home for the New Year, and I said there was no holiday for the New Year.

You can do it! Think about it when you go home and tell me again, but it must be the third day of the new year!

Ok, thank you manager. Xiao Zixin sent a message to Ming Shao:

The manager said that as long as it is the third day of the Lunar New Year, he can take leave to go home any day.

Good! I'll help you take a look at it these days!

Well!

Two days later, Ming Shao sent a message to Xiao Zixin: Baby! Can you go home on the ninth day of the new year?

Good! I'll talk to my manager. Xiao Zixin walked up to the manager and said: Manager! I want to go home on the ninth day of junior high school, and my boyfriend will buy a ticket for me if I can.

You can do it on the ninth day of the first month! What tickets does your boyfriend buy for you?

I don't know, I haven't asked him yet. He asked me to ask you before I bought a ticket.

You let him buy it! Said the manager.

Good! Xiao Zixin sent a message to Ming Shao: It's okay on the ninth day of the first month, what kind of ticket did you buy for me!

Plane ticket! It's too long to get motion sickness, and the plane is only two hours away.

You buy me a plane ticket! It's expensive!

You don't care whether it's expensive or not, the key is to be fast, you don't need to take the car or train for more than 20 hours and get motion sickness and uncomfortable.

You're so nice, little guy! Xiao Zixin said movingly.

Then I'll buy it! I happened to have already come to work that day, and I will take you to the airport when the time comes.

Well! Xiao Zixin couldn't imagine that Ming Shao would buy her a ticket home, and her heart was warm.

Did your boyfriend buy you a ticket? The manager asked.

He said to book me a plane ticket on the morning of the ninth day of the new year.

Wow! How is your boyfriend so good! Buy you a ticket. Xiao Zhang said enviously.

He said that I had motion sickness and that it took too long to take the bus and train, and he was worried that I wouldn't be able to stand it, so he booked me a ticket.

Your boyfriend is so sweet! It's so good for you!

If you have a plane to get there, I can buy you a ticket home! Xiao Liu came over and pouted and said to Xiao Zhang: It's a pity that you don't have it at home, only cars, haha!

You can buy me a ticket and I'll take the bus home. Xiao Zhang rolled his eyes and said to Xiao Liu.

Aren't you tired of tossing like this?

I'd love to! As long as you're willing to buy it!

Why am I reluctant? I'm afraid that you are reluctant, the money is in your hands, haha! Xiao Liu was speechless.

Soon it will be the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and today's reunion dinner has been booked before. Around ten o'clock, guests came one after another, and the entire hotel was fully booked a month ago. The hotel staff are all nervous and orderly to prepare. Xiao Zixin received the guests who had already booked at the front desk and arranged private rooms for them. The waiter will then take the guests to the reserved private room, and when the guests are ready, they can notify the kitchen to serve the food.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, most of the guests who came to have the New Year's dinner went home. The waiters were busy cleaning up the tables, and the kitchen chefs were preparing the New Year's dinner for the hotel staff. Xiao Zixin counted today's turnover at the front desk, and after counting, she counted the drinks again. It's something she does every morning and night. After finishing the work at hand, Xiao Zixin went out of the bar to help other colleagues set up tables and chairs. The dishes were served at half past five, and by the time it was almost six o'clock, all the dishes were ready. The general manager asked Xiao Zixin to take out the drinks and put them on each table, and they will be counted in the company's accounts when they go to work tomorrow.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner began at six o'clock, and the general manager and all employees toasted together to celebrate Happy New Year! The manager said: Next, please ask the general manager to say a few words to us, everyone is welcome! All employees applauded.

The general manager stood up and said: Thank you for your hard work in the past year, the hotel will be better because of you! We work together to do a good job in service and make the hotel's business more prosperous in the coming year. Here, I also wish everyone good health, sweet and sweet love, and single people will find their own happiness next year! Happy New Year to all!

Colleagues applauded together. At the end of the year, only today is the opportunity for everyone to get together to eat and chat. Although today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, many people cannot go home to spend the New Year with their families, but everyone is very happy. Because they have been together for a long time, they have long regarded each other as relatives. At the end of the dinner, the general manager took out the red envelopes that had been prepared and handed them to the manager to distribute to colleagues one by one. Colleagues were very happy to get the red envelopes, and they said thank you to the general manager one by one! After eating, colleagues helped clean up and then went home from work.

Back in the dormitory, Xiao Zixin called home, and after the phone was connected, Xiao Zixin said apologetically:

Mom and Dad! Daughters are not filial! I can't go home to be with you during the Chinese New Year this year.

Silly boy! As long as you're doing well. It's just that you've never been out for the New Year, and this time you went so far away, and you couldn't go home for the New Year, and your father and I miss you very much!

I miss you very much, I can go home on the ninth day of junior high school, it should be in the afternoon, and then let my brother drive to pick me up.

Your brother will definitely pick you up. Xiao Zixin's mother said on the other end of the phone.

Well! That's right, Mom! We all received red envelopes today. Xiao Zixin said happily.

Is it the hotel for you?

Yes, everyone will receive a red envelope after the New Year's dinner.

How much? Did you open it and see it?

Not yet, I'll take a look. Xiao Zixin opened the red envelope as she spoke: There are 500 yuan! Xiao Zixin said excitedly.

Then your hotel owner is quite generous! Xiao's mother said.

Oh, yes! Maybe they've been doing it longer! I don't know.

You've only been there for less than half a year, and it's already good to have a 500 yuan red envelope!

Yes, yes! Hehe!

The mother and daughter haven't seen each other for almost 5 months, chatting about life and work for more than half an hour, Xiao Zixin looked at the time and said to her mother: Mom! I'm going to line up to take a shower, see you on the ninth day!

Good! Take care of yourself outside and don't let us worry. Xiao Zixin's mother admonished.

I'll take care of myself, Mom, don't worry! Bye! Xiao Zixin put down the phone and went to take a shower and wash clothes. It was past ten o'clock when I came out of the shower. She lay on the bed and sent a message to Ming Shao:

What is the little one doing?

Ming Shao was watching the Spring Festival Gala with his family, and he planned to go back to the room after receiving Xiao Zixin's message. Ming Shao's mother saw it and asked him: Ming Shao, where are you going?

I went back to my room and went to sleep. Ming Shao said.

In the past, you would accompany us to watch the Spring Festival Gala, why did you take your mobile phone and go into the room to sleep today? Ming's mother asked suspiciously.

I...... Ming Shao hesitated: I'm a little tired and want to go back to my room early to sleep.

Children are more tired to go to work after graduation! It's not as good as when I was in school. Ming Shao's father hurriedly helped him out of the siege.

Is that the case? Ming's mother asked Ming Shao.

Yes! Ming Shao nodded.

All right! You go to the room and rest! Ming's mother said.

Good night mom and dad! Ming Shao glanced at his father gratefully and went into the room. In this family, Ming's mother is more strict, and Ming's father is more easy-going, so Mingshao usually has a closer relationship with his father. Back in the room, Ming Shao hurriedly sent a message back to Xiao Zixin:

I just watched the Spring Festival Gala with my parents in the living room, and I almost couldn't send you a message. Ming Shao said nervously.

Why? Xiao Zixin asked.

In the past, I accompanied them to watch the Spring Festival Gala before going back to the room, but today I will go back to the room as soon as you send a message, and my mother asked me, I didn't know what to say for a while, but fortunately, my father helped me out of the siege before I could come in.

Oh! That's it! Xiao Zixin snickered.

Yes!

Are you scared of your mother?

It's not that I'm afraid! My mother has been strict with me since I was a child. Tonight, in front of her, I don't know what to say.

Aren't you freaking out? Xiao Zixin snickered.

No! It's just that I can't find an excuse to go back to my room for a while. Ming Shao said embarrassedly.

I understand! You told me before, you said you don't want your family to know that you're in love for a while. Because you're afraid that your parents will worry that falling in love will affect your work!

Yes! I hope the baby can understand!

I know! I never told you to tell my family! I know you're going to have a sense of proportion. Xiao Zixin said with a smile.

Yes!

I remember you once told me that you would follow your parents' arrangements to marry a woman you didn't like. At that time, I asked you why? You said as long as your parents are happy! I laugh at you for being foolish!

Yes, I said that before. That's because I just met you not long ago, and we're just ordinary chat netizens. Ming Shao said.

And now? Xiao Zixin asked with a grin.

Do you still need to ask? You have come to me thousands of miles away, and you can't even go home for the New Year. Baby, give me some time, and I'll arrange it.

Well! I didn't rush you, I always believe in you! Xiao Zixin said with a smile.

Baby, what time do you get off work today?

Around five o'clock, all the guests left, we started to eat the reunion dinner at six o'clock, ate at about eight o'clock, went home, lined up to take a bath, wash clothes, clean up and lie on the bed at ten o'clock.

What time do you go to work tomorrow?

You can go to work a little later, at 10 o'clock. Xiao Zixin said.

Are there any benefits for the Chinese New Year?

One red envelope per person, I have 500 yuan.

That's good! Ming Shao said with a smile.

Yes! Xiao Zixin said happily.

Unknowingly, the two chatted until twelve o'clock, and Xiao Zixin immediately sent a message to Ming Shao: Happy New Year, little guy! All the best!

At the same time, Xiao Zixin also received a message from Ming Shao: Happy New Year baby! Getting prettier!

Hee-hee! Xiao Zixin smiled mischievously.

What's wrong baby!

Happy! Xiao Zixin said with a smile.

Just be happy! Hope you have fun every day! Ming Shao said happily.

You'll be happy to have you around! Hee-hee!

Uh-huh! Ming Shao agreed.

It's late, little one go to bed! Tomorrow you have to get up early to pay your grandmother's New Year's greetings!

Good! Good night baby!

Good night little one! The two put down their phones and went to sleep peacefully.
