The weather was getting colder and colder and it was getting closer to the Chinese New Year. However, the Yuanzhou shop was still open as usual.
Just as the customers found that Zhou Jia and Mu Xiaoyun didn't come to work, the Yuanzhou shop opened its door.
With a sound of "Hua La", Yuan Zhou pulled up the shutter door.
"Morning, Boss Yuan." Ma Zhida was the first to greet him.
"Morning." Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then turned sideways to let them enter.
"Why did you open the door personally today?" Wuhai asked while walking into the door.
"I let them go back for the Chinese New Year." Yuan Zhou answered without turning his head.
"That's true." Wuhai mumbled and didn't say anything more.
"Boss Yuan, are you going to have a holiday during the Chinese New Year?" Ma Zhida was the first to ask the question that everyone was concerned about.
"I usually go home to accompany my family on Chinese New Year's Eve and Chinese New Year's Day. I don't have any customers." Yuan Zhou thought for a while and didn't answer him directly. Instead, he said that.
"That's not necessarily true. So you're not sure?" Ma Zhida continued to ask.
"Um." Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
"It's not Chinese New Year's Eve and Chinese New Year's Day yet. It seems that I can have some more meals." A customer who followed him into the restaurant immediately squinted his eyes and said smilingly.
"Exactly. Whenever I think that I won't be able to eat for a long time, I feel a little nervous." Another customer followed and said.
"I'm still here on Chinese New Year's Eve and Chinese New Year's Day. I will always be here." Wuhai said to Yuan Zhou anxiously.
He wouldn't go back for the Chinese New Year. Naturally, he had to tell Yuan Zhou about it. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to eat when he came.
"Zheng Jiawei will look for you." Yuan Zhou said lightly.
"That's different." Wuhai waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care about that.
"Your sister will kidnap you." Yuan Zhou added.
Wuhai was instantly speechless. "…"
While the ten customers were having breakfast and discussing the holiday during the Chinese New Year, they were talking about something else outside the restaurant.
"Comfortable. As soon as Boss Yuan opens the restaurant, the street is filled with people. It's not so cold anymore." A customer said with his brows unknitted.
"Exactly. It's more comfortable to line up." The customers behind immediately chimed in.
"I wonder what kind of air conditioner Boss Yuan turned on. It's so warm." The customer shrugged his shoulders and said contentedly.
While the others were talking about the air conditioner in the Yuanzhou shop, someone suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
"Eh? Why are you here? "The person who spoke was Zhao YIngjun.
Zhao YIngjun looked at a man in a dark blue cotton coat and said in surprise.
"You are?" The man looked very young, and his eyes were full of spirit. His skin wasn't particularly white, and it looked like he often ran around outside.
"I'm the programmer, the one in that building over there." Zhao YIngjun pointed at the tall building in front of them and said.
"Hello." The young man still didn't seem to remember who he was, but he greeted politely.
After all, he often went to that building and worked there. Therefore, he might have seen that building before.
"Are you here to deliver food?" Zhao YIngjun asked tentatively.
This young man was a delivery specialist. That was why Zhao YIngjun knew him.
As this delivery man was probably in charge of this area, Zhao YIngjun often saw him delivering food to his company. He had even greeted him several times.
"Oh, you are from that digital company?" Now the young man finally remembered and said with sudden realization.
"Yeah. Who ordered food delivery here? Why did you deliver it so early? "Zhao YIngjun nodded his head and then asked with puzzlement.
"It's really tough for you to run around so early in the morning." Zhao YIngjun sighed with emotion before he could answer him.
"It's indeed tough. But nobody ordered food delivery today. I came here to eat." The young man shook his head and said with a smile.
"Eh? You came here to eat?" Zhao YIngjun was a little puzzled.
Zhao YIngjun didn't know about other people, but he knew that the monthly salary of a delivery man was definitely not as high as his. Even if he came here only a few times a month, he still felt heartache. After all, the food in Yuanzhou shop was really not cheap.
"That's right. The food in Boss Yuan's restaurant is especially delicious." The young man nodded his head earnestly.
"Young man, haven't you guys taken your annual leave?" A customer who heard the conversation asked.
"Of course not. Someone has to stay on duty. I'm here today." The young man nodded his head.
"It's too tough." Zhao YIngjun knitted his brows and looked at the young man with a sympathetic gaze.
"It's okay." The young man shrugged and revealed a manner of being used to it.
"How is it okay? You have to work so hard in the wind and rain. You even have to work overtime at night. You have to run around so many times a day and it's so cold." A girl in line couldn't help saying that.
"Eh." The young man suddenly got speechless and didn't know how to answer her.
Nevertheless, the customers lining up at the side had a deep feeling. After all, those who came to Yuanzhou shop for meals were either elites or white-collar workers. Therefore, there was no lack of takeaways on normal days.
Speaking of takeaways, they all had something to say. As the topic of the recent news was about the hardships of the takeaways, they naturally talked about this aspect.
One after another, the young man, who was originally a delivery man, became a little embarrassed.
"It's been too cold recently. The young man who delivered the takeaways to me the other day still had to do it even at 11: 00 pm." Zhao YIngjun chimed in.
"It's not that exaggerated. It's just work." The young man couldn't help scratching his head.
"Why not? It's really too hard to do takeaways nowadays." The girl who had just spoken retorted.
"It's so hard. I'm too embarrassed to order takeaways in the future."
"If you don't order takeaways, what will people eat?"
There was a hint of sympathy in their conversation.
"No, no, no. It's not like that." The young man couldn't help saying loudly.
"Then what is it?" Once the young man shouted loudly, the other customers couldn't help turning the head and looking at him. Some of them asked with one accord.
"I was the one who delivered the takeaways at 11: 00 pm." The young man first retreated nervously and then said to Zhao YIngjun.
"Yes, yes, yes. It's indeed you." Zhao YIngjun nodded the head affirmatively.
"That day was my last takeaway order. I could go back and rest after I delivered the takeaways. But you must have worked for a long time after eating the takeaways. After all, you didn't even raise your head when I left." The young man said.
"I worked overtime during the Chinese New Year. I worked until 3: 00 pm that day and then slept in the company." Zhao YIngjun nodded the head.
"You guys are working and so are we. But our work is different. I deliver the takeaways to you guys, but I'm busiest during mealtime. I'm fine at other times. But I can see you guys also work overtime frequently. So it's more or less the same." Only then did the young man voice out his opinion.
"Just like when you guys finish your work and come to eat at Boss Yuan's restaurant, do you feel that Boss Yuan is pitiful?" The young man straightforwardly asked back.
Only then did the customers react. Although they didn't directly say that the takeaways were pitiful, that was what they meant. It was just that the young man pointed it out directly.
The customers looked at each other in blank dismay and didn't say anything for a while.
"So, it's all work. Going through the wind and rain is also a part of work. I also feel that it's not easy to be a waitress. She has to greet customers with a smiling face every day. It's not easy to earn money outside. So there's nothing to sympathize with. I don't even feel that there's anything to sympathize with. "
Once the young man said that, nobody said anything. Indeed, it wasn't easy for anyone.
"The food in Boss Yuan's restaurant is delicious, but it's a little expensive. But since I work to earn money, I naturally have to reward myself. So I came here for breakfast." The young man answered Zhao YIngjun's question this time.
Zhao YIngjun was the first to ask and also the first to change the topic.
That was indeed the case. Even if the person in front of him didn't earn as much as him, the premise of calling for respect was equal treatment. Therefore, the takeaways didn't need any extra sympathy, because their work was the same as everyone else's.
