After persuading Du Ling for a long time, the light in the yard gradually dimmed. A few leaves fell in the autumn wind. The three of us drank glasses of water.


    Old Gao deliberately said in a hoarse voice, "Xiaoling, for the sake of our hoarseness, can we stop talking? Just say yes."


    Hu Zi chuckled and said, "It''s Xiaoling. You''ve been here for so long, but Brother tiger never asked you for any help. What''s wrong with helping my brother this time? Just sit behind the counter and collect the money. It''s very simple. There''s a price list for the drinks. Just do your calculations."


    Du Ling was very unconfident and said, "What if I don''t get my money right when I''m nervous?"


    "It''s okay. It''s our fault."


    "But I didn''t take the money. You suddenly asked me to take it in." Du Ling said anxiously.


    I coughed and joked, "Why don''t I get another glass of water?"


    Du Ling smiled sheepishly. After another ten minutes, Du Ling said reluctantly, "I''ll try."


    The three of us were relieved.


    Hu Zi took a breath and said, "If you need anything, just call Jiang Yan and Shi Yuan. Call us. It''s basically nothing."


    Du ling nodded.


    Her eyes turned, as if she remembered something, and her mouth curved. She smiled and said, "I can agree, but you have to agree to a condition."


    "What terms?"


    Sure enough, Du Ling was familiar with us, even daring to mention the conditions. When we first met, she was such a shy little girl. She blushed when she spoke.


    Du Ling pointed at Hu Zi and Old Gao and smiled, "As long as you promise me to quit smoking, I promise you."


    "Quit smoking?" Hu Zi was shocked when he heard that. He shook his head and smiled bitterly, "That''s too much. Too much."


    "I''m doing this for your own good. You see, Brother xingyun doesn''t smoke. He looks a lot more energetic than the two of you. Just quit. Brother tiger and brother gaoyuan, you two quit together, and you can help each other and supervise each other." Du Ling sounded sincere.


    "We will only degrade each other."


    Old Gao and Hu Zi looked at each other and smiled in collusion.


    Du Ling calmed down and said, "I don''t care. If you don''t agree, I won''t either."


    "Sure!" Hu Zi didn''t hesitate for too long. Perhaps he didn''t want to let all the previous efforts of persuasion go to waste. He nodded and said, "Let''s agree. Let''s agree."


    "All right, give me the cigarettes you have on you." Du Ling reached out and smiled happily.


    I watched silently from the side. It seemed that Du Ling really did what she said. She really missed last night. It''s just that quitting smoking is a long-term thing. How long can the two of them quit this time?


    Then, Hu Zi Old Gao and I made plans to leave tomorrow morning.


    In the evening, in my bedroom, I told Ding Ge about my business trip.


    Speaking of which, this was the first time we were apart since we were together. When this kind of business trip might not be seen for a few days in the past, we all missed each other very much and were looking forward to meeting again.


    I was supposed to watch the renovation with Ding Ge, but now it seems that I''m going back on my word.


    Ding Ge didn''t blame me. He said, "Well, I just went out to relax and relax. It''s such a good opportunity. Let''s have a good time."


    Ding Ge''s warm and gentle words sounded very comfortable. Her words always moved me easily.


    "Just remember not to mess around." Ding Ge added.


    "That''s a must!" I replied forcefully.


    Ding ge gave me a blank look, then began to help me pack my luggage, charger, razor, and tooth set one by one. Looking at her busy in my bedroom, I suddenly had the illusion that Ding Ge was already my wife, and we were husband and wife. It was a wonderful feeling.


    Beauty is like a dream. I can''t help but imagine our married life.


    Unfortunately, not yet.


    I thought Ding Ge and I were going to get married soon. There were only five months left. Soon, soon, and even a sense of urgency. Now I suddenly feel that five months is so long!


    But Ding Ge didn''t agree to live with me.


    Hey, do you want Du Ling to act for me?


    Du Ling could pretend to be afraid that Ding Ge might misunderstand and want to move out, and then Ding Ge would definitely be kind enough to stop her, but Du Ling was adamant, so I told Ding Ge that if we lived together, there wouldn''t be such a problem.


    "Hey, what are you thinking?" Ding Ge called me.


    I quickly shook my head and smiled, "Nothing."


    "Be careful outside and drive slowly on the road..."


    I smiled and said, "I won''t leave until tomorrow."


    "I know!" Ding Ge pouted.


    ...


    The next day, after getting up and cleaning up, I left. I gave the money I had prepared to Ding Ge and asked her and Lin Ya to go to the nursing home to donate the money.


    The restaurant was all arranged and we had nothing to worry about. After the three of us found a breakfast shop and had some food, we continued our journey and soon the car drove into the highway.


    Imagining the rest of the trip, I still have some expectations in my heart. I am eager to make the Xingyun hotel better. After all, Ding Ge and I are going to form a family, and I certainly hope to live a better life materially.


    It''s been a long time since the three of us came out together. It''s just the three of us, but we''re especially at ease. The three old men are talking nonsense, meat and vegetable combination, and the car turns to drive. The scenery outside is changing all the time. It''s very pleasant and pleasant!


    It wasn''t long before Hu Zi asked Old Gao, "Do you have any cigarettes?"


    "The cigarettes are all for Du Ling. Have you forgotten? There''s no smoke."


    "Stop at the next service area and buy a pack of cigarettes." Hu Zi said weakly.


    I hurriedly said, "Hey, you promised to quit smoking, so you broke your promise so quickly?"


    "No, I can''t get used to it. I have to take it slow."


    Old Gao, who was driving, suddenly handed Hu Zi a bottle of gum and said, "Chew it first."


    "Did you buy it or a box of cigarettes?" Hu Zi squeezed a piece of gum and put it in his mouth.


    "You can''t be too shameless!" Old Gao smiled.


    Then, when he arrived at the next service area, Old Gao did not slow down at all. Next to him was Hu Zi''s desperate voice: "No, no, no, no, no, no."


    But it was too late, so fast that the service area could not be seen in a blink of an eye. Hu Zi glared at Old Gao and said with gritted teeth, "You said you can''t be too shameless!"


    After walking a few kilometers, Hu Zi said to Old Gao, "Stop pretending. I can tell if you really want to smoke a cigarette. Light a cigarette and take a deep breath. Are you drooling? It must be uncomfortable in your throat, as if there''s something missing, isn''t it, isn''t it?"


    I couldn''t help but laugh. Hu Zi was too cheap.


    Old Gao was also speechless: "Hu Zi, when did you become so cheap, your cheap merit has obviously increased."


    "I learned it from you two."


    "Slander!"


    "Absolute slander!" I echoed.


    Out of all the jokes, the three of us didn''t feel like the time was running out. On the way, the three of us changed our cars and didn''t feel tired. Before noon, we arrived at our first destination.


    Sometimes if you don''t go out and take a look, you really don''t know how big the world is or how high the sky is outside!


    Every industry is a world, and the catering industry can be said to be an industry that will never disappear. The people live on food, and there will be no lack of restaurants wherever they go. This is a splendid world!


    There are so many different kinds of restaurants in the world that you can''t imagine without seeing them with your own eyes. From big to small, from house building, advertising design, internal structure, decoration style, facilities, artificial dishes and so on, from big to small, it can be said that every one of them is knowledge.


    Just the first day, I felt like jumping up from the bottom of a well to see a new world. I used to visit other hotels in Pucheng, but Pucheng was still too small. It was really eye-opening today.


    When can we open a perfect restaurant?


    The Xingyun hotel, which was about to open for a year, was also weak compared to those luxurious, high-class restaurants and restaurants of similar sizes and sizes.


    In the past three days, we have walked a lot of places, looked at a lot of places, many places are really much better than Xing Yun, of course, we had limited funds, and we didn''t know much about this industry, there are many lack of places, now after looking at many excellent places, we know which places can improve.


    In fact, there are also a lot of restaurants that are decorated very ordinarily and poorly, but there are a lot of customers, and some places even have to line up, which is naturally the spread of the word of mouth.


    A restaurant is not only luxurious outside, but also powerful inside.


    This trip was fruitful!


    Many, many thoughts welled up in my mind, and I also saw many, many shortcomings of the Xingyun hotel.


    After seeing so many excellent places, in the bottom of my heart, I naturally want to look up to them, and I also want to become so outstanding, and I have a direction to work hard in my heart.


    When I was in the hotel at night, I talked a lot with Hu Zi, the third year of senior high school. Hu Zi was right before. We shouldn''t stay in the hotel every day, but we should get in touch with the outside world. Our vision is very important. Not only do we want to think, but also think.


    Of course, it''s impossible to reach too high at once. We can only move forward step by step.


    Three days passed quickly.


    On the afternoon of the third day, we began to go back to Pucheng. Along the way, we chatted and sang. When we returned to Pucheng, it was already night.


    Hu Zi looked at his phone and said, "At this point, the restaurant should be closed."


    "I think so. What shall we eat?" The three of us haven''t had dinner yet, and Old Gao''s stomach growled.


    "Let Xing Yun do it at the restaurant later." Hu Zi scoffed, "We run a restaurant. Can we still starve you?"


    Soon, the car arrived at the Xingyun hotel. Sure enough, the door of the restaurant was closed.


    The three of us got out of the car. Hu Zi went to open the door first, but Hu Zi didn''t use the key. He pulled it gently and the shutter opened.


    Old Gao and I also saw the light. Hu Zi smiled at us and said, "Xiaoling hasn''t left yet."


    Old Gao and I also walked to the restaurant in the back. Looking at the lights in the restaurant, we felt an unspeakable sense of intimacy. Thinking that we would see Ding Ge when we got back, we were all energized and the fatigue on the way was much reduced.


    We saw Du Ling behind the counter, and she saw us too.


    When he saw us, Du Ling suddenly burst into tears. His emotions broke down in an instant.
