Mr. Ma also comforted Damai: "It's a happy thing that Xiao Qin and Hong Dou are together. Why are you crying? Come, let's have tea instead of wine to congratulate them on their sweethearts."
"That's right." Damai wiped his tears, raised his teacup and said to Xu Hongdou, "Sister Hongdou, you must be happy in the future."
"Thank you, Damai, you also want to be happy." Xu Hongdou was so moved that she also shed tears.
Finally, after Xu Hongdou and Damai calmed down, after eating, Damai still looked wilted, which made Xu Hongdou very curious.
"Barley, what's wrong with you?"
Damai held his mouth and looked like he was about to cry again: "Sister Hongdou, you have just been together. I will leave here in less than a month. Do you think we can meet again in the future?"
Farewell is always the saddest topic. Xu Hongdou felt a little depressed after hearing this, but she still comforted Damai softly.
"Of course we will meet. If we hold a wedding then, you will be my bridesmaid."
When Damai heard this, the tears that were about to fall miraculously disappeared. He hugged Xu Hongdou's arm and said, "Is it really okay? Then I want to choose a bridesmaid dress that I like."
"Of course, you are one of my few good friends." Xu Hongdou said seriously.
It's true. Apart from Chen Nanxing, Xu Hongdou really doesn't have a close friend in these years. All she has contact with are either colleagues or customers.
Mr. Ma sighed with emotion: "Time flies so fast. It seems that Damai has lived here for so long."
At noon, Damai couldn't bear to catch up on his sleep, so Qin Hao had the opportunity to "snatch" Xu Hongdou back.
"Let's go out for a walk?" Qin Hao naturally took Xu Hongdou's hand.
Xu Hongdou rolled her eyes at him, but this time she didn't struggle and just let Qin Hao hold it in his palm.
"Where to go?"
"I don't know, it depends on where you go."
The two of them walked out of the courtyard and walked on the stone road of Yunmiao Village. Xu Hongdou felt that this familiar road had become different. Unknowingly, they came to the entrance of the small restaurant. Xu Hongdou suddenly stopped.
steps.
】
"Nana, is the restaurant very busy today?" Xu Hongdou saw that Nana looked anxious and a little confused.
Nana heard Xu Hongdou's voice and subconsciously raised her head with a wry smile: "Sister Xiaochun went to the warehouse to help with packing today. The two maids didn't come because they had something to do at home. Now I'm the only one in the store. Today, all the customers suddenly
There are more..."
"Let me help you." Xu Hongdou said and started to help Nana clear the table after the guests left.
Well, when Qin Hao saw that he was not idle anymore, he helped Nana make hand-ground coffee.
"Thank you, Lao Qin." Nana said gratefully.
Qin Hao smiled and shook his head: "Why are you so polite? It's not the first day we met."
After Xu Hongdou cleared the table, she came to the front desk and asked Nana: "Are there any free snacks in the store? I think the customers over there have been waiting for a long time."
"There are mahjong cakes and pastries over there."
"OK."
Xu Hongdou carried the dinner plate and served two plates of small cakes to each table of guests to appease the guests. When he was about to return to the front desk, he was stopped by several girls at the table.
"Hey, sister, can you help us and ask for the WeChat ID of the handsome guy in your store who is making hand-ground coffee?"
"OK."
Xu Hongdou agreed wholeheartedly, then came to the front desk, glanced at Qin Hao sideways, and pointed at the girls sitting over there: "This handsome guy, they are asking you for WeChat."
Nana was a little confused and was keenly aware that Xu Hongdou's words were full of jealousy.
Qin Hao's eyes subconsciously looked at the girls, and one of them boldly waved to him.
"Just tell them that I have a girlfriend and it's inconvenient."
Faced with Qin Hao's answer, Xu Hongdou was not satisfied and folded her arms: "I think it's better to add more, the customer's needs come first."
Qin Hao was secretly amused. This woman always said what she meant. He immediately pulled Xu Hongdou to him and kissed her directly.
Xu Hongdou was completely stunned. This was her first time kissing in public. Just when she was about to struggle, Qin Hao released her. For a moment, Xu Hongdou's brain lacked oxygen and she froze in place.
Nana was as confused as Xu Hongdou. Everything happened too fast just now. She even wondered if she was dazzled. The two of them were at odds a few days ago, but they reconciled and confirmed their relationship so quickly? She was
Didn't you miss some important moment?
When the girls saw this, their faces were full of disappointment, and even a little angry.
"Isn't it true that men like young and beautiful girls?"
Only then did Xu Hongdou react, reached out and pinched Qin Hao, and then brought the tea to the guests.
At this time, Xie Zhiyao also came. Seeing this, he couldn't help but stare at Xu Hongdou for a while. Qin Hao couldn't help but reach out and wave it in front of his eyes.
"It's almost done."
Xie Zhiyao laughed and scolded: "You are too domineering."
"You just know?" Qin Hao said angrily: "How come you are also the boss here and you just watch like this? Come and help quickly."
"The bar is so big, I can't even get in."
Qin Hao directly slapped the coffee hand grinder on Xie Zhiyao's hand: "Leave it to you."
After saying that, he went to help Xu Hongdou clear the table.
Xie Zhiyao shook the hand grinder with difficulty, his eyes almost narrowed: "Why is this thing so difficult to grind?"
"I see it's quite easy for Lao Qin. Is it possible that you are too weak?" Nana hit the target accurately.
After finally sending this group of guests away, the four of them had a chance to take a breath.
"Come and try my newly researched tea, I call it: take your time." Nana put the tea cup in front of Xu Hongdou and propped her chin up.
"Tell me, when did you two get along."
Xu Hongdou almost spit out the tea she just drank. She choked and coughed. After a while, she took Qin Hao's hand and raised it.
"Just now, we were together."
Xie Zhiyao smiled and said: "I just said that the way you look at each other is different from the morning."
"Okay, Lao Qin, you acted quickly enough. Why did you borrow the 'little cutie'?"
Xu Hongdou was a little embarrassed after being told that. She wanted to let go of Qin Hao's hand, but was held tightly by him. She had no choice but to give him a sideways look. When Nana saw this scene, she said that she was full of dog food.
"That's great, I'm so happy for you." Nana said as if she wanted to cry.
Seeing this, Xie Zhiyao changed the subject and said, "Well, Hongdou, can I ask you a favor?"
"What's the matter?" Xu Hongdou asked casually.
Xie Zhiyao sat up straight and said seriously: "That's right, whether it's our cafe, our courtyard, or my online store, except for Nana, all the people we hire are some elderly people from the village.
Sister, the rest of them are fine, but their working attitude is a bit sloppy. Aren't you the front office manager of a five-star hotel? I want you to help formulate a set of rules and regulations to change the sloppy working habits of these ladies.
Change it."
Xu Hongdou frowned when he heard this.
Qin Hao broke the news and said: "You are also from an investment bank. How can you not know how to manage employees? You are obviously asking Hongdou to help you be a good person."
Xie Zhiyao smiled sheepishly: "You can put it that way. You all know that although I am the boss, people don't listen to me. These ladies have watched me grow up since they were young. I can't let go."
I'm acting like the boss, so I can only invite outsiders."
"At first, I wanted to ask Lao Qin for help, but I was worried about Lao Qin Taigang. Until Hongdou showed up, I have been observing you for a long time. You have an infectious energy in you. You speak softly and people follow you unknowingly.
I did what I said.”
Xu Hongdou thought for a while and shook his head: "But I came here just to not go to work. Otherwise, why would I come here while I'm not going to work in Beijing?"
"Ahem, um...Actually, I don't plan to pay you either."
As soon as Xie Zhiyao said these words, Qin Hao couldn't help but laugh and curse.
"You are really cruel. If you don't pay me, it doesn't count as working, right? When I saw you that week, I had to shed tears and kowtow to my ancestor."
Nana and Xu Hongdou also laughed.
Xie Zhiyao was a little embarrassed to be told: "Old Qin, you also know my situation. I really have no money. Do you think this will work? I will waive the rent in the small courtyard for you, and then you will have nothing to do in Yunmiao Village."
I will do my best to meet your needs, how about that?"
Xu Hongdou subconsciously looked at Qin Hao. Qin Hao squeezed her fleshy little hand and said softly: "You can decide for yourself. I completely respect your wishes."
Nana joked: "I didn't expect you to be such an old Qin. Be careful, your family status will not be guaranteed in the future."
"From now on, our family will take Hongdou's will as the direction of progress, and I firmly support it."
Xie Zhiyao made a vomiting gesture: "No, no, I'm going to vomit. I have never seen such a shameless person."
After the laughter, Xu Hongdou finally agreed: "Let's do it this way. I'll write a management regulation when I go back tonight, and I'll give them a training tomorrow and implement it from the day after tomorrow. How about it?"
"Okay, that's great." Xie Zhiyao's mouth almost reached his molars.
Qin Hao glanced at the time and said to Xu Hongdou: "Okay, it's almost time for me to cook. Let's go back."
"Um."
"You don't mind having a few more pairs?"
Qin Hao laughed and scolded: "I found that your face is thicker than the city wall. I have given you free help, and you still come to make a living."
"I am so poor now that I only have one face. I can save whatever I can."
Xu Hongdou reminded: "Then you go and fetch Grandma Xie, so that she won't have trouble getting food all by herself."
"Okay, then I'll pick up Grandma."
Xie Zhiyao walked halfway and couldn't help but turn around and look at the back of Qin Hao and Xu Hongdou walking hand in hand, smiled and shook his head.
"It's a pity...sigh."
In Youfeng Xiaoyuan, Qin Hao cooks and Xu Hongdou helps. The two of them cooperate well. Since Xie Zhiyao and Xie Grandma are coming, Qin Hao specially cooks two more local dishes.
"Wow, it smells so good."
When the food was served, Xie Zhiyao also came to the small courtyard carrying a load, but he didn't see Grandma Xie. Xu Hongdou asked curiously.
"Where's Grandma Xie? Why aren't you here?"
Xie Zhiyao explained with a smile: "Grandma went back to get cherry wine. She said it's rare for everyone to get together today, so she had to drink some."
Qin Hao was happy: "It's really rare for Grandma to still be so strong at such an old age."
"Who is talking about me?"
While they were talking, Grandma Xie came to the small courtyard holding a wine jar.
"Grandma, we are praising you." Xu Hongdou stepped forward to take the wine jar and welcomed Grandma Xie to the table.
Grandma Xie patted Xu Hongdou's hand, then leaned into her ear and whispered: "I heard that you and Xiao Qin are together?"
"Ah, yes, we are together." Xu Hongdou's cheeks felt slightly hot.
"Okay, I was optimistic about you from the beginning, and Xiao Qin finally caught you."
Xie Grandma's words made Xu Hongdou feel embarrassed.
Qin Hao secretly laughed. The reason why Grandma Xie can still maintain such good condition at the age of eighty is largely due to her optimistic attitude.
After a while, Nana also came back. Xie Xiaochun took over Nana's shift when he came back from the warehouse. There was only one Hu Youyu left in the courtyard who had gone to work in the bar and hadn't come back yet.
After everyone took their seats, no one moved, but all their eyes fell on Qin Hao and Xu Hongdou.
Xu Hongdou glanced at Qin Hao shyly, and then the two stood up holding wine glasses.
"Then let's take this opportunity to officially announce that we are divorced."
"Congratulations."
"Congratulations to Sister Hongdou and Brother Hao."
Amidst a burst of congratulations, everyone drank a full glass of cherry wine, and the atmosphere at the table became lively. Halfway through the meal, Barley, the lightest drinker, drank a little too much and began to cry about his failure in writing.
depressed.
"Ugh~~~ Do you think a small author like me really has any value in existence? I can't make any money, and I'm disliked by readers. They don't care about the process of breaking the news at all, and they just focus on urging me to sprinkle sugar.
......."
Everyone comforted her again, and finally managed to comfort Da Mai, but Nana started crying after drinking too much, which immediately confused everyone.
Nana usually seemed quite stable, but this time she cried as if she was crying out all the worries that had accumulated for a long time. The key point was that she was just crying and didn't say why. Xu Hongdou could only hold her and comfort her.
The meal went on intermittently until nine o'clock in the evening. Qin Hao also reheated the dishes twice. Finally everyone left after finishing the meal. Qin Hao also sent the two aunts back to the room, but found that Xu Hongdou also drank a little too much.
, his face was flushed, and he was a little unsteady on his feet.
"I've already said that this cherry wine is sweet in the mouth and has high alcohol content, yet I drank so much of it." Qin Hao was a little amused, and he bent down and hugged Xu Hongdou directly.
Xu Hongdou twisted and hugged Qin Hao's neck: "I'm not drunk, I can go by myself."
"Okay, go on your own, come and let us go upstairs."
"Why is the road shaking?"
Arriving on the second floor, Qin Hao carried Xu Hongdou to the bed and helped her take off her shoes. He was about to pour her a glass of water when he was hugged by her and shouted in confusion.
"Chen Nanxing, don't leave."
Qin Hao is both angry and funny. In Xu Hongdou's heart, the most important thing is Chen Nanxing.
