"Ding Ling Ling, Ding Ling Ling". The familiar sound of the alarm clock rang. Yuan Zhou immediately got up from his bed.
"It's morning already?" Yuan Zhou looked out of the window in a daze, only to see the curtains drawn.
"Hua". Yuan Zhou stretched out his arms and pulled the curtains open. It was still dark outside, but there were some street lights in the distance.
"Well, it's time to run." Yuan Zhou looked out of the window fixedly and only reacted after quite a while.
After getting up, going to the toilet and washing up, Yuan Zhou went back to his room and prepared to change his clothes before going out for a jog.
"I can wear new clothes now." Looking at the new clothes on the bedside table, Yuan Zhou revealed a small smile.
This was the custom in Yuan Zhou's hometown. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, all the children in the family would wear new clothes from head to toe.
When he was a child, Yuan Zhou would demand that even the socks on his feet be new. It was no exception now.
The new clothes were all bought in advance and put on on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Now, there were two sets of new clothes on the bedside table of Yuan Zhou. One was a brand-new sportswear. It was all new inside and out. Even the tag hadn't been cut off yet.
As for the other one, it was a traditional Chinese costume with exquisite embroidered lotus leaves at the hem and some half-opened lotus flowers. It didn't look feminine at all. Instead, it looked more delicate. The material was new and the color was bright and beautiful.
After putting on the new sportswear, the expression on Yuan Zhou's face softened a little. He revealed a smile at the corner of his mouth and walked out of his room.
"Dong Dong". Yuan Zhou knocked on the door of the room next door. Naturally, no one opened the door.
However, Yuan Zhou still said some auspicious words as usual, "Happy New Year, Dad and Mom. I hope you have reincarnated into a good family and live a good life."
After that, Yuan Zhou directly opened the door and entered the room.
There were two conspicuous red envelopes on the bedside table, on which the word "Get Rich" was printed in golden color. Yuan Zhou picked them up with a smile and then left after saying thanks.
In Yuan Zhou's hometown, unmarried men and women were all children and could receive red envelopes from their parents.
As for Yuan Zhou's two red packets, he had naturally placed them there in advance last night. This was just a program, a program that made Yuan Zhou feel at ease.
"Hiss, it's quite cold." Yuan Zhou opened the back door and ran away.
"Woof!" Broth suddenly barked when they passed the back door.
"Happy New Year," Yuan Zhou stopped and said to Broth.
Broth took a glance at Yuan Zhou and then went back to sleep.
"Dadada," Yuan Zhou's rhythmic running sound faded into the distance.
The journey was the same as usual. Yuan Zhou adjusted his breathing and ran step by step in a serious manner.
"Happy New Year, Boss Yuan."
"Happy New Year, Boss Yuan."
Two greetings of "Happy New Year" blocked Yuan Zhou's way. These two people were Huang Ling and Huang Li.
"Happy New Year," Yuan Zhou stood still and nodded his head.
"Boss Yuan, this is a small gift from us." Huang Ling took out a square box and handed it to him.
At the side, Huang Li looked at Yuan Zhou earnestly and expectantly.
"Thank you." Yuan Zhou received the box.
"Thank you, Boss Yuan." Huang Ling and Huang Li thanked him together.
"Here you are." As soon as Yuan Zhou received the box, he took out two red red envelopes from his big pocket.
"No need, no need." Huang Ling immediately waved her hand, indicating that she didn't need it.
"It's not money. It's a New Year's gift." Yuan Zhou kept silent for a while and then said.
"Okay. Thank you, Boss Yuan." Huang Li became excited when he heard it wasn't money. He received the red envelopes immediately.
"Um." Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then continued running away with the box.
"Xiao Li, why did you do that?" Huang Ling blushed and felt quite embarrassed.
"Boss Yuan said it's not money. It might be a souvenir of the restaurant. I was just curious. Hey Hey." Xiao Li suddenly became a little embarrassed. He stroked his head and explained.
"You are really something. Boss Yuan has helped us a lot." Huang Ling patted her brother's head.
"I know, I know. I will bring something else for Boss Yuan next time." Huang Li immediately nodded his head.
Only then did Huang Ling feel satisfied. At that time, Yuan Zhou had run to the front door of the restaurant.
"Hua La", the window on the second floor was opened and a head popped out.
"Hey, good morning, Boss Yuan." Wu Hai yawned and waved his hand to Yuan Zhou who was running.
"Morning." Yuan Zhou stopped.
"Happy Chinese New Year. Remember to cook more delicious food. Of course, it would be best if you can let me cook two servings of food at a time." Wu Hai didn't even say "Happy Chinese New Year" and even made a request.
"Happy Chinese New Year. The rules can't be broken." Yuan Zhou answered neatly.
"Ok." Wu Hai was still a little sleepy. He nodded his head blankly.
"Come down to get the red envelopes." Yuan Zhou took out the red envelopes and said to Wu Hai.
"Haw?" Wu Hai quivered and instantly woke up.
"I won't wait for you if you are late." Yuan Zhou said lightly.
"Wait for me." Wu Hai's voice was still at the window, but he had already reached the stairway.
One could imagine how fast he was.
"Pa Da Pa Da", Wu Hai came downstairs wearing slippers and pajamas. He didn't even put on a coat.
Yuan Zhou estimated that it was less than 10 seconds.
"Here you are." Yuan Zhou handed out the red envelopes with a calm expression.
"Holy sh * t. It's so nice to live here. I can even get a red envelopes from Boss Yuan." Wu Hai received the red envelopes happily.
"Let's go." Just when Yuan Zhou prepared to leave, Wu Hai had already opened the red envelopes and prepared to have a look.
"Oh my god. I don't know what Boss Yuan's red envelopes are." Wu Hai muttered while opening the red envelopes.
"Si La", Wu Hai tore open the seal deftly and poured out a ticket.
That's right. It was a ticket. It was a light brown paper that was 4 cm wide and 8 cm long. In the middle of the paper was written the word "Meal Ticket".
On the left and right sides of the paper were two symmetrically written sentences. On the left side was "No replacement for lost items" and on the right side was "Order according to the amount".
"Is this a meal ticket?" Wu Hai asked in surprise.
"Um." Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
"Does that mean I can eat a free meal with this?" Wu Hai instantly thought of that.
Yuan Zhou didn't say anything this time. He just nodded his head straightforwardly.
"No limit on the amount?" Wu Hai confirmed again.
"Um." Yuan Zhou looked at Wu Hai's belly with a weird expression and then nodded his head.
"Then, Boss Yuan, what's the animal on the paper?" Wu Hai pointed at the large animal that occupied the top of the ticket and asked with puzzlement.
Yuan Zhou's meal ticket was obviously drawn by Yuan Zhou himself. It wasn't as rigid as the ones outside. However, the animal that looked like a wolf and was roaring with its head raised made Wu Hai puzzled.
"Broth," Yuan Zhou said with a natural expression.
"Isn't Broth a Poodle?" Wu Hai looked at the drawing on the paper and then thought of the small body of Broth. He really couldn't connect the two.
"A dog that doesn't want to be a wolf isn't a good Poodle." Yuan Zhou looked at Wu Hai fixedly and then said.
Wu Hai was speechless. He lowered his head and continued to look at the meal ticket.
The back of the meal ticket was very simple. There were only several words, "Yuanzhou shop Cantonese".
"Cantonese shop?" Wu Hai revealed a puzzled expression.
"He went jogging." Yuan Zhou didn't answer him directly and just turned around and left.
"He ran so fast. But surprisingly, it's a meal ticket. Haw-ho. Let me post it on my Wechat Moments to broaden the horizons of others." Wu Hai stroked his small mustaches and revealed an evil smile.
As for the reason that Yuan Zhou ran away, it was very simple. He didn't know what Cantonese shop was. However, there were some Japanese shops on the Internet and some others. Therefore, he simply copied one randomly.
Acting cool was very important. It was that simple.
