It has been more than two months since the opening of Qu Lianjie's hot pot restaurant, because the publicity is relatively in place, it can be said that it is also a daily income, and now the daily turnover has basically been fixed at about 35,000.

At the same time, the second branch has officially opened three days ago, and the manager of the branch, Qu Lianjie, is also a man of his tongue and was selected from the waiters in the main store.

This store manager is also a woman, her name is Wu Yue, who is only 26 years old, and has seven or eight years of experience in the catering service industry.

This time, I was able to become the manager of the branch, also because in the handling of an emergency, Qu Lianjie saw her on-the-spot response ability.

Now there is no need for Qu Lianjie to go to the store every day to stare at it, there is Zhao Mei in the main store, and Wu Yue in the branch, because the business is relatively good, and now he is planning to open a third store.

On this day, because the weather outside was relatively cold and he felt that there was nothing wrong, Qu Lianjie temporarily decided to give himself a vacation and slept for a lazy night, but as soon as he lay back on the bed and closed his eyes, he heard the mobile phone on the bedside table ringing non-stop.

"Alas~"

"I can't sleep if I want to, who is this, endless phone calls in the morning~"

Qu Lianjie complained while taking down the mobile phone on the bedside table, but when he saw that it was his father Qu Datou, he could only choose to answer, and said in as calm a tone as possible:

"Dad, is there anything wrong with calling so early?"

Qu Datou has now heard that his son's hot pot restaurant is doing well during this time, and he wanted to go when it opened, but he didn't go to negotiate a big order at that time.

Although Qu Datou is now very satisfied with his son, a prodigal son who will not change his money, and even sometimes eats and drinks with friends, he can't help but show off his son's excellence.

But when he heard Qu Lianjie talking to himself like this, he couldn't help but roar into the phone:

"I'm your father, can't I call you if it's okay, and besides, what time is it and you still don't get up?"

Qu Lianjie said helplessly:

"Dad, you're a little unreasonable, it's only 7 o'clock, what do I get up, you just say what's wrong, if it's okay, I'll hang up!"

"Eh~" Qu Datou really forgot to look at the time, so he was a little embarrassed for a while, and coughed lightly:

"Cough, what, today is New Year's Day, do you have something, if you don't have anything important, go home for dinner, your sister Xiaoxuan is on the plane this afternoon, let's celebrate New Year's Eve together as a family!"

Qu Lianjie didn't have a good impression of this sister, and he didn't want to go back to see the faces of the mother and daughter, and when he heard his father say this, he directly shirked it:

"No, I can't go back, I have to stare at the decoration of the branch in the afternoon, you don't have to wait for me to eat!"

Qu Datou frowned when he heard this, now that his son doesn't want to come back, there is really nothing he can do, he can still threaten him with pocket money before, but now people can make money themselves, and they can't threaten him anymore.

"Dad, do you have anything else, if not, I'll hang up first, I've been so tired lately, I finally had a lazy sleep!" Qu Lianjie felt very sleepy, and after finishing speaking, he hung up the phone and continued to sleep.

Qu Datou was still trying to persuade his son to go home for dinner, but when he heard that he was going to hang up the phone, he quickly said earnestly:

"Don't hang up yet, it's still the same thing just now, you have to come back anyway, I know you have a conflict with Xiao Juan, but you are brother and sister after all, Xiao Xuan is young and ignorant, you are a brother and let him be a little!"

After such a delay, Qu Lianjie is now completely sleepy, sat up directly from the bed, and complained impatiently to the phone:

"Dad, how can I let her, I've already backed away, okay, is it possible that if she returns to China, I will go abroad?"

"Besides, you don't know, I don't know that she and I don't get along, and we fight as soon as we meet, so in order to avoid these, the best way is to meet less, which will save you from being angry!"

Qu Datou has no tricks now, and when he sees that the hard ones can't work, he can only come to the soft ones, and his tone is a little low:

"It's been more than a month since you last time, and today is New Year's Day, why do you have to go home for a meal, just for your father?"

Qu Lianjie heard his father say this, sighed, and could only agree:

"Okay, I can't go back, don't talk like that, I have goosebumps, but let's talk in advance, I'll go back and have a meal!"

"Come back early, I won't tell you yet~" Qu Datou achieved his goal, and his tone returned to normal!

Qu Lianjie threw his phone aside, lay back on the bed again, closed his eyes and lay down for more than ten minutes, but found that he couldn't sleep anymore, so he had no choice but to get up and wash.

After washing up and eating a simple breakfast, Qu Lianjie thought that today was New Year's Day, so he sat on the sofa and took out his mobile phone to make a call to his hometown.

Soon the phone was connected, and the familiar and kind voice came to my ears:

"Is it Lian Jie?"

When Qu Lianjie heard this voice, he said very happily in the northern Jiangsu dialect:

"Mom, today is New Year's Day, have you had breakfast with my grandma, and her old man has gone out for a walk again?"

Qu Lianjie's mother Zheng Fen was also very happy to receive a call from her son, and sat on the sofa and replied to the phone with a smile:

"We've already had breakfast, your grandma doesn't know yet, she is an idle person, she will go out for a walk every day after breakfast, and now she should chat with your grandmother Liu and them at the entrance of the village!"

"How are you doing, two days ago your father called your grandmother to show off, saying that you opened a hot pot restaurant and business has been good~"

"And I heard that you have also moved out to live, you must pay attention to your body when you are outside, eat every meal on time, especially breakfast, no matter how busy you are, don't forget to eat, everything else is outside the body, only the body is your own ......"

Qu Lianjie listened to his mother's nagging, he didn't have a little impatience in his heart, he had been listening patiently, and when his mother finished nagging, he said very seriously:

"Mom, you're right, I've written it down, today is New Year's Day, you and my grandma also eat something good, don't always think about saving money, buy whatever you want to eat, your son can make money by himself now, call your son if you don't have money!"

At this time, Grandma Qu happened to come back from a walk outside, saw her daughter-in-law on the phone, and came over to her and asked:

"Xiaofen, who called, Datou or Lian Jie?"

Hearing this, Zheng Fen raised her head and replied to her mother-in-law:

"Mom, it's Lian Jie calling!"

After speaking, he said to his son on the phone:

"Lian Jie, your grandmother is back from a walk, I'll give your phone to your grandma, mom is going to wash the dishes~"

Then Qu Lianjie heard an old voice in his ears:

"Eldest grandson, you and your father came back early for the Chinese New Year this year, a few days ago your grandfather Zhang's house killed pigs, and grandma specially left you a pig's head, you liked to eat pig ears the most when you were a child!"

Qu Lianjie smiled when he heard this:

"Grandma, don't worry, I'll definitely go back early this year, I miss you and my mother, or you can come here to live for a few days, and we'll go back together for the New Year!"

Although Mrs. Qu also wanted her grandson, she still didn't want to refuse directly:

"No, grandma can't get used to living in that high-rise building, or she is comfortable living in this small rural courtyard~"
