Chapter 679

“Ding Ling Ling, Ding Ling Ling”, the familiar alarm clock rang . Yuan Zhou suddenly sat up in bed .

“Dawn came so fast?” Yuan Zhou looked out of the window in a daze, but only saw the closed curtain .

“Hua” . Yuan Zhou reached out his arm and pulled the curtain open . It was still dark outside and some street lamps were still turned on in the distance .

“Oh, time for jogging . ” Yuan Zhou looked out of the window for quite a while before he suddenly reacted .

He got up, went to the bathroom, and then washed up . After finishing all these, Yuan Zhou returned to his room and prepare to change his clothes to head out for a jog .

“I can wear my new clothes . ” Looking at the new clothes placed on the bedside cupboard, Yuan Zhou revealed a smile .

It was one of the traditional customs that all the children wore new clothes from head to foot on the first day of Chinese New Year in Yuan Zhou’s hometown .

During his childhood, Yuan Zhou even requested for new socks . And now was no exception .

The new clothes had been bought in advance were kept there until the first day of Chinese New Year when he put them on .

Right now, there were two sets of new clothes on his bedside cupboard . One of them was a brand-new sportswear . Everything was new inside and outside, even the price tag wasn’t taken off .

As for the other suit, it was the Han Chinese Clothing . The exquisite lotus leaves embroidered along the lower hem along with some lotus flowers partly blooming didn’t make it look feminine . Instead, it looked even more exquisite . The cloth was brand new while the color was also bright and beautiful .

After Yuan Zhou put on his new sportswear, his expression became gentler and he revealed a faint smile . Then, he walked out of his own room .

“Dong Dong”, Yuan Zhou knocked at the door of the neighboring room . Naturally, nobody opened the door for him .

But still, Yuan Zhou said words of fortune as usual, “Dad and Mom, happy new year to both of you . I hope both of you can be reincarnated in a decent family and can live a good life . ”

After saying that, Yuan Zhou directly opened the door and walked inside .

At a conspicuous place on the bedside cupboard, there were two red packets which read “make a good fortune” . Yuan Zhou took it up smilingly and then expressed his gratitude before leaving .

In Yuan Zhou’s hometown, unmarried men and women were all considered to be children and they could still get red packets from their parents .

And the two red packets were naturally placed over here by Yuan Zhou last night . It was merely a procedure that could make Yuan Zhou feel at ease .

“Hiss . It’s so cold . ” Yuan Zhou opened the back door and started to run at once .

“Woof . ” When he passed by the back door, the dog, Broth, suddenly barked .

“Happy New Year,” Yuan Zhou stopped and then said to Broth .

Broth just looked up at Yuan Zhou and continued sleeping .

“Ta Ta Ta” . The regular footsteps of Yuan Zhou receded gradually .

The route was still the same as before . Yuan Zhou regulated his breath and jogged very carefully step by step .

“Happy New Year . ”

“Happy New Year, Boss Yuan . ”

The two greetings barred the way of Yuan Zhou . It was the sister and brother pair, Huang Ling and Huang Li .

“Happy New Year . ” Yuan Zhou stood still and nodded his head .

“Boss Yuan, this is a small token of our appreciation . ” While saying that, Huang Ling took out a square box and handed it to him .

And Huang Li just looked at Yuan Zhou seriously and expectantly at the side .

“Thank you . ” Yuan Zhou received it .

“Thank you for taking care of us,” Huang Ling and Huang Li thanked him together .

“Here you are . ” The moment Yuan Zhou received the box, he fished out two red packets from his big pocket .

“No, you don’t need to do this . ” Huang Ling immediately waved her hand and indicated that it was unnecessary .

“It’s not money . It’s just a small gift for the new year,” Yuan Zhou kept silent for a while and then said .

“Okay . Thank you, Boss Yuan . ” On hearing that it wasn’t money, Huang Li got excited and immediately received the red packet .

“Um . ” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then ran away with the box .

“Little Li, how can you accept the red packet?” Huang Ling blushed and felt quite embarrassed .

“Boss Yuan said it’s not money . It might be the souvenir from his restaurant . I’m just curious . Heihei,” Huang Li patted his own head and explained shyly .

“You shouldn’t have accepted it . Boss Yuan has helped us a lot . ” Huang Ling patted on her brother’s head .

“I know, I know . I will bring Boss Yuan something else next time to thank him . ” Huang Li nodded his head at once .

Only then was Huang Ling satisfied . At that time, however, Yuan Zhou had ran to the front door of his restaurant .

“Hua La” . The window of the second floor of the building across the street was opened and a man’s head appeared .

“Yo . Morning, Boss Yuan . ” Wu Hai yawned and waved his hand to Yuan Zhou who was still jogging .

“Morning . ” Yuan Zhou stopped there .

“Happy New Year . Remember to cook something delicious . Of course, it would be better if you allowed me to eat two servings of a dish at a time . ” Wu Hai really wasn’t a decent guy . He made a request even when he said “happy new year” .

“Happy New Year . Rules can’t be violated,” Yuan Zhou answered neatly .

“Oh . ” Wu Hai was still a little drowsy . On hearing that, he just nodded his head in a daze .

“Come down to take your red packet,” Yuan Zhou fished out a red packet and said to Wu Hai .

“Huh?” Wu Hai suddenly gave a start and became clear-headed instantly .

“I won’t wait for you if you are late,” said Yuan Zhou lightly .

“Wait for me . ” Wu Hai’s voice was still lingering at the window when he came downstairs and appeared in front of Yuan Zhou .

One could imagine how fast he ran .

“Pa Da Pa Da” . Dressed in the nightclothes and cotton slippers, Wu Hai came downstairs directly without even putting on the coat .

Yuan Zhou estimated roughly that it didn’t even take more than 10 seconds .

“Here you are . ” Yuan Zhou handed the red packet to him calmly .

“Damn it . It’s so good to live here . I can actually get Boss Yuan’s red packet . ” Wu Hai received the red packet happily at once .

“I’m leaving . ” Wu Hai had opened the red packet and prepared to have a look when Yuan Zhou intended to leave .

“Wow . What exactly is in Boss Yuan’s red packet?” While opening it, Wu Hai muttered .

“Si La” . Wu Hai opened the seal deftly and poured a ticket out .

That’s right . It was a ticket, a light brown paper 4cm wide and 8cm long . Right in the middle, it had the two characters of “meal ticket” .

And on both sides, there were two lines of words arranged symmetrically . The left side read, “No replacement if missing” while the right side read, “Order meals according to the designated amount” .

“Is this a meal ticket?” Wu Hai asked in surprise .

“Um . ” Yuan Zhou nodded his head .

“So, that means that I can have a meal for free with it?” Wu Hai thought of that instantly .

This time, Yuan Zhou didn’t say anything, but just nodded his head .

“With no limits on the amount of money?” Wu Hai confirmed again .

“Um . ” Yuan Zhou looked at Wu Hai’s belly suspiciously and then nodded his head .

“Boss Yuan, what’s the animal on it?” Wu Hai pointed at the animal that took up most of the space on the meal ticket and asked with puzzlement .

The meal ticket was naturally drawn by Yuan Zhou himself . It wasn’t stiff like the formally printed ones made outside . However, the wolf-like animal that looked up at the sky and roared made Wu Hai feel puzzled .

“Broth,” said Yuan Zhou with a manner of composure .

“Isn’t Broth just a Maltese?” Wu Hai looked at the picture on the ticket and then thought of Broth’s small body . He really couldn’t relate that small dog to the mighty figure in the picture .

“A dog that doesn’t want to be a wolf isn’t a good Maltese,” Yuan Zhou stared at Wu Hai for an instant and then said .

Wu Hai was quite speechless and then he lowered his head to continue looking at the meal ticket .

The back side of the meal ticket was very simple . It had only a few words of “Made In Guang By Yuan Zhou’s Restaurant” .

“Made in Guang?” Wu Hai was quite puzzled .

“I’m leaving to jog . ” Yuan Zhou turned around and left without saying anything .

“He runs so fast . But, it’s surprisingly a meal ticket . Hahaha . Let me post it in Moments to let them know . ” Wu Hai stroked his small mustaches and revealed an evil smile .

As for why Yuan Zhou ran away so fast, it was very simple . He didn’t know what “Made in Guang” was, either . But since there was “Made in Ri” or some other similar ones on the Internet, he figured out this one casually .

The quality of posturing was very important . That’s it .
