Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Du Shaojie stayed in the hospital for an hour and then said goodbye and left.

Back in the old street, he went to pay New Year's greetings to Uncle Chai. He didn't know many people in Guangzhou. Director Luo went back to his hometown before the New Year, so he basically had nowhere to go.

Uncle Chai wanted to invite him to his home for dinner, and Du Shaojie didn't hesitate and had a few drinks with him.

When he got home, he received a call from Xiaomei.

"Brother, Xiaoya, Sister Miqin and Sister Yanzi are all here, do you want to talk to them?"

Xiaomei called in the morning, but Du Shaojie went to the hospital at that time and no one answered.

At noon, Liang Meiqin and Qi Yan came to wish Wang Yuxiu a happy new year, and then went to the medical school cafeteria again to call Du Shaojie.

This time it went smoothly and the call was connected quickly.

"Okay, give them the phone."

The brother and sister chatted for a while, and then Du Shaojie said a few words to Qi Yan and Liang Meiqin respectively.

I didn’t say anything else, just some words of blessing. It’s important to have a good start during the Chinese New Year.

Liang Meiqin was fine, after all, they had only been apart for a short time. Qi Yan seemed to have a lot to say, but she didn't know where to start, mainly because there were people around.

Half an hour later, the call ended.

Du Shaojie felt a little bored, so he went to the flower market alone.

The flower market during the Spring Festival is a major feature of Guangzhou. The flow of people is quite large, and it is basically crowded. If it were any other day, he would never want to join in the fun, but he was really bored at the moment and found it quite interesting.

He strolled around slowly and even forgot the time. When he returned home, it was dark.

The next morning, Du Shaojie came to the hospital again, and Liao Yongxin happily told him that he could be discharged the next day.

He finally put his worries aside, but the master still had to take good care of himself after returning, so he didn't need to rush to work. Anyway, Yan Dabao and others could take on the main responsibility, and the store would not be inseparable from Liao Yongxin.

The third day of the first lunar month.

Du Shaojie went to pick up Liao Yongxin from the hospital and sent him home, then he went directly to Shenzhen.

[Seafood Restaurant] There are more people staying here, Xiao Jianjun and Zhang Yufei have not gone back. His arrival surprised everyone, they thought the boss had returned to Xijiang.

"Let's have a barbecue tonight, is that okay with you?"

"No objection, no objection."

evening.

Du Shaojie lit the barbecue grill at the door of the Seafood Restaurant, and Xiao Jianjun went to buy some ingredients in advance.

By the third day of the New Year, some people were already open for business. Although the ingredients were not complete, it was more than enough for a barbecue.

Among the people who stayed behind, there was a chef who specialized in barbecue. In addition, Du Shaojie marinated the ingredients himself, so it seemed that today's barbecue tasted particularly good.

We sat together, eight people in total, and opened three bottles of white wine.

"Boss, the seafood restaurant in the village didn't even have a holiday. The business has been booming these days. I'm a little regretful. If I had known this would happen, I should have kept more people and not closed the restaurant."

After Xiao Jianjun drank a few glasses, he began to feel a little dizzy.

After hearing what he said, Zhang Yufei kept nodding.

It's really boring to just stay like this. I thought there would be no business during the Chinese New Year, but who knew business would be so good.

"Forget it. We've been exhausted for a year. Shouldn't we go home and celebrate the New Year and take a break?"

Du Shaojie disagrees. Most shops will be closed during the Spring Festival. Occasionally there are a few that are open, so of course business is good.

But they sacrifice their rest time, so there is no need to envy them.

He stayed here for two days and returned to Guangzhou on the fifth day of the first lunar month.

On this day, most businesses opened for business and the market gradually returned to its former hustle and bustle.

Du Shaojie couldn't wait any longer, so he called two people to stay behind, and the [BBQ restaurant] started to open in the evening of the same day. Yan Dabao and others had nothing to do, so they also came to help, leaving only one person on duty at [Xichuan Restaurant].

The food that was originally prepared in sufficient quantities was all cleared out before 10 o'clock in the evening.

Business is indeed good, but it also makes everyone very tired.

Fortunately, starting from the next day, all the personnel returned one after another and everything was back on track.

Du Xiaomei and Liang Meiqin also returned to Guangzhou on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. Xiaomei had no choice as they only had a few days off. Liang Meiqin felt that Du Shaojie would be lonely spending the New Year alone in Guangzhou, so she returned before the Lantern Festival was over.

"Brother, Sister Yan Zi asked me to give you this letter."

Du Xiaomei brought a letter from Qi Yan and gave it to her brother when no one was around.

Du Shaojie returned to the room, opened the letter, and couldn't help but sigh after reading it.

Qi Yan went home for the New Year and had a bad relationship with her family because her family insisted on introducing her to a boyfriend. Qi Yan refused, so her mother said some unpleasant things to her. As a result, Qi Yan was furious and prepared to go back to school.

According to the letter, the other party should be on the train to Beijing at this moment.

"This guy doesn't know how to be tactful. He always confronts people head-on."

At this second, Du Shaojie felt a little sorry for Qi Yan.

The reason why Qi Yan came to this point must have something to do with him. But both of them are very proud, and neither of them is willing to bow to the other.

As a result, the two of them drifted apart. If Qi Yan hadn't always had an obsession in her heart, they would probably have gone their separate ways long ago.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, all stores opened for business. In the next few days, Du Shaojie visited Director Luo and Cai Jing, and spent two happy days with Liang Meiqin. He became more and more worried about Qi Yan's condition, and finally couldn't help but take a plane to Beijing.

During the winter vacation, there are students who do not go home in the dormitory. They are not prohibited from living there, but the cafeteria stops serving meals.

Qi Yan only thought of this problem when she returned to school. While cursing someone, she went downstairs with a sense of grievance to go out for dinner. She didn't have much money on her. Wasn't she coming back in anger? It was impossible for her to ask her family for money.

It was windy outside, Qi Yan tightened her scarf and walked with her head down.

Suddenly, she seemed to realize something, stopped abruptly, and looked up to see a face that made her love and hate it.

"Shaojie!"

At this time, Qi Yan had already thrown her own personality aside and threw herself into Du Shaojie's arms.

Du Shaojie revisited the old place with so many emotions in his heart.

But he didn't say anything. After Qi Yan calmed down a little, he took her out of the campus to eat.

"You still have some conscience! Actually, I know that Mom is doing this for my own good, but I just can't accept that my life is arranged by others. Tell me, are you a playboy?"

Qi Yan was almost in tears while eating the delicious meal.

Fortunately, I am studying for a master's degree and receive a subsidy every month, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to afford food.

Qi Yan's mother felt that Du Shaojie was not worthy of her daughter, and secondly, she felt that Du Shaojie was unreliable and did not seem like a good man who could live with his wife.

As a result, due to Qi's mother's overbearing style, she successfully aroused her daughter's rebellious psychology.

"What are you talking about? Just daydream all day and eat your meal."

Du Shaojie knows Qi Yan's character too well and will never spoil her.

Some questions are wrong no matter how you answer them, so just don't answer them.

"Humph! Guilty fellow."

However, Qi Yan just fell for it. She couldn't stand it if others were mean to her, but when Du Shaojie was mean to her, she felt at ease.

The two of them have been getting along this way since they were young. Du Shaojie has always been distant towards her, and Qi Yan would not rush to get close to him, but neither of them can forget the other.

After the meal, Du Shaojie stuffed three thousand yuan into Qi Yan's pocket and asked her to save it later.

"I do not want."

"This is not for you. You have to pay it back when you get a job."

Qi Yan finally accepted the 3000 yuan. She was in a difficult time now, and she would have to pay the money unless she was willing to bow to her mother.

As for Qi Yan's father, there's no need to mention him. He has no status in the family and can only listen to whatever her mother says.

After dinner, Qi Yan followed Du Shaojie to the hotel.

This time when he came to Beijing, Du Shaojie stayed in a better hotel. Although it was a bit far from Qi Yan's school, it was no more than 10 minutes' drive away.

"You can accompany me to go around these two days if you have nothing to do. I want to rent or buy a store. I think there is still a big market for traditional Sichuan cuisine. If we open a store in several big cities, the effect should be very good."

After entering the room, Du Shaojie went to boil water to make tea.

Qi Yan listened to his story quietly, but an emotion was quietly growing in her heart.

The other party's sudden arrival made her unable to control herself.

After Du Shaojie finished speaking, he didn't hear any response. He saw Qi Yan sitting there with her head down, wondering what she was thinking about.

He stood up and slowly walked to Qi Yan, leaned down and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

When Qi Yan raised her head, she felt her lips were sealed.

After twisting a few times, she was lost in the tenderness. It was not until this moment that she felt that her persistence had meaning.

After a long time.

The two of them separated.

Du Shaojie touched his lips, took a few steps back, went to the bathroom, and saw a deep bite mark on his lip.

"You are born in the year of the dog."

Du Shaojie felt as if he had a dream. This was Qi Yan's style. That shy look was all pretended. It was funny that he almost believed it.

"You deserve it! Let's go, go for a walk."

Qi Yan smiled brightly, as if nothing had happened before.

At this moment, she felt extremely satisfied, and at the same time, she let out a sigh of relief. Don't think you're a fool. This guy has been flirting with Mikoto for years, and she's wanted to bite him for a long time.

Du Shaojie sighed, then left the hotel with Qi Yan.

Over the next two days, the two traveled to many places and finally found a suitable yard in the Fuwai area.

The yard faces the street, and there is a row of tiled houses facing the street. The backyard is not big and it is not a courtyard house, but it is very suitable for opening a restaurant.

The owner only wants to sell the house and not rent it out, and the asking price is $35,000.

Maybe a courtyard in the alley would be much cheaper, but what he needed first was not a house, but a storefront.

This location is not bad, and the yard is of a suitable size. (End of this chapter)
