Chapter 679 - Giving Out Red Packets (1/2)

“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.
