On New Year's Day, the sun is warm and the sky is clear and blue.

Today is the day when He Xuxia and Qin Gang get married.In the past few days, the air in Jiangwan has been filled with happiness.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, the convoy to pick up the bride arrived at Jiangwan. After the ceremony, all the people who sent the bride off began to board the car.Everyone surrounded and let the groom carry the bride on the flagship wedding car, followed by the bride's parents and younger brother.Yuan Guishan's family arrived in Jiangwan just after eight o'clock, and got on the No. 12 car at this time.Next is No. 09 wedding car, the person who got on the car was the relative representative of He Yuan's family who had been approved by Yuan Feng.Tang Debiao's family boarded the NO.30 wedding car.Yuan Feng had already told her daughter that Tang Debiao's family was not a senior relative, but they still wanted to take a wedding car to the county seat. At [-]:[-], the convoy set off for the county seat.They stopped several times on the way, and every time they stopped, the groom got out of the car and distributed happy cigarettes and candies to the drivers.At eight minutes past eleven, everyone arrived at the Leya Hotel in the county seat.The wedding banquet hall is located on the second floor.The hall is decorated with lights and festoons, cheerful music is playing, and the atmosphere is full of joy.

Tang Qinglian was holding Lele in her arms and sitting on the banquet table, while Liu Meihui, Yuan Guishan and Yuan Wuhua sat next to each other.Tang Debiao, Tao Lanying and Tang Peng sat in the guest seat not far from Gao's seat.At this time, there are many guests in the hall, all looking for seats to sit down, people who are familiar with each other are calling names, or shaking hands or hugging, standing or sitting down and chatting.The whole hall was buzzing with people, and it was very lively.

At this time, Lele was about to breastfeed, and there was a quarrel.Tang Qinglian said to Liu Meihui that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law left their seats, looking for a suitable place to breastfeed their children.After searching for a while, the second floor was full of people. The two came to the stairwell, looked at the third floor, and walked up.

A woman with shoulder-length curly hair arrived at the corner platform from the third floor and was walking down. After seeing the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she kept staring at Tang Qinglian, and when she was about to pass by, the woman said, "Sister Qinglian?"

Tang Qinglian turned her head and took a look, then smiled and shouted: "Li Xiaoling! Xiaoling!"

"It's really you, Sister Qinglian! You have a child in your arms, I dare not recognize it!" Li Xiaoling laughed and shouted, and glanced at Liu Meihui, "Is this your child? When did you get married?"

"Yes! My child is called Lele!" Tang Qinglian smiled, and turned to look at Liu Meihui, "This is my mother-in-law."

Li Xiaoling greeted Liu Meihui enthusiastically with a smile all over her face: "Hello, Auntie!"

Liu Meihui responded with a smile.

Li Xiaoling saw the child in Tang Qinglian's arms arguing all the time, and asked, "Where are you going?"

Tang Qinglian smiled and said, "We're here to attend the wedding. It's on the second floor. The baby is about to nurse, and there are too many people. I want to come up and find a place."

After hearing this, Li Xiaoling turned around and said, "Sister Qinglian, Auntie, please follow me!"

Li Xiaoling led her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to the third floor. Most of the doors were closed. From time to time, someone opened the door and came out. Several young girls uniformly dressed in sky blue coats and short skirts knocked on the door with hot water bottles and entered the room.

At the end of the corridor on the third floor is the elevator room, which is also the reception room. There is a large bar with bright lights. The sign on the top of the bar reads: "Leya Foot Bath and Leisure Center".The two beauties standing at the bar saw Li Xiaoling, their faces were full of smiles, and they shouted, "Mr. Li!" Li Xiaoling nodded to them and led her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to the elevator.Lele quarreled even more, Tang Qinglian kept shaking her body, coaxing the child.

After a while, she arrived at the door of the manager's office on the fifth floor. Li Xiaoling took out the key to open the door and let the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in. Tang Qinglian quickly sat on the sofa, untied her clothes and fed Lele. Lele immediately calmed down.

A young girl knocked at the door, standing with a tray on which were two cups of tea and dishes of fruit.

Li Xiaoling didn't even look at it, but said, "Come in."

The girl came in, put the plate on the coffee table, and handed tea to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law one by one, smiled and nodded at them, took two steps back, turned and went out.

Li Xiaoling made a gesture and said with a smile: "Auntie, Qinglian, please eat some fruit."

Tang Qinglian asked with a smile: "Xiaoling, have you become the manager? Are you in charge of this hotel?"

Li Xiaoling nodded lightly, and said with a smile, "Sister Qinglian, do you look like that?"

Tang Qinglian was talking, when a man shouted outside: "Xiao Ling, Fatty Wu invited us to discuss the house in his office this afternoon."

The man walked in, in his forties, fat and white, glanced at him, with a smile on his face in Chinese characters, and said, "Here's a guest!"

Li Xiaoling stood up and introduced: "My best friend Tang Qinglian, her mother-in-law. Sister Qinglian, my partner, Zhang Qiang."

Tang Qinglian suddenly remembered that this was the fat white driver she saw with Li Xiaoling outside the Environmental Protection Bureau last time, and responded with a smile: "Hello!"

Liu Meihui smiled unnaturally and nodded.

Zhang Qiang smiled at the two of them and said, "I'm fine, you guys talk." He turned and walked out.

At this time, Lele was full and fell asleep.Liu Meihui took Lele and said, "Qingqing, you two are talking, I'm taking Lele to the second floor."

"Mommy, let's go together." Tang Qinglian quickly stopped Liu Meihui, glanced at Li Xiaoling, "Xiaoling, let's talk next time."

Li Xiaoling raised her hand to look at the time, and said with a smile, "Sister Qinglian, what are you in a hurry for? It's not even 11:30, so it's still early for the wedding!"

Liu Meihui said: "Qingqing, you can talk to Mr. Li, I will take Lele down first." Then she walked out the door.

Tang Qinglian said: "Okay, Mom, I'll come down later."

Li Xiaoling came over and took Tang Qinglian's hand, and said with a smile, "Sister Qinglian, it's been so long, why didn't you give me a call! That day I gave you a business card at the gate of the Environmental Protection Bureau, has it been more than a year?"

"You are a busy person! I dare not disturb you." Tang Qinglian smiled and looked at Li Xiaoling, "I don't even know where to put the business card you gave me!"

Li Xiaoling smiled, took out another business card, and said, "Sister Qinglian, remember to call me!"

"I will definitely!" Tang Qinglian said with a chuckle, "What did you say just now? Oh, Xiaoling, you are really good. This is only four or five years old, right?"

From the chat, Tang Qinglian learned that the house in Leya Hotel belonged to Zhang Qiang.Zhang Qiang is a native of the county. He made some money doing projects in the past few years, bought this land, and built this building.It used to be on the outskirts of the county seat, but within a few years, houses were built around it, and it became bustling and bustling.Li Xiaoling became a partner with Zhang Qiang after returning to the county five years ago. Because she is familiar with hotel operation and management, she opened a hotel in this building that had been vacant for several years.

Li Xiaoling said with a smile: "The last time we met you, Zhang Qiang and I went to go through the formalities of the foot bath shop. Now the best business in the hotel is the foot bath shop."

Li Xiaoling asked about Tang Qinglian's situation again, and Tang Qinglian told her.

Li Xiaoling looked at the time, got up and said, "Sister Qinglian, I'll take you to have a look."

The two got up and went out the door.Li Xiaoling introduced as she walked, the fifth and fourth floors are guest rooms, and the third floor has foot baths for leisure.When she was about to go down to the second floor, two bar girls stopped Li Xiaoling.

The two bar girls reported that two regular customers brought guests over in the afternoon, but the rooms had already been booked out, so they didn't know what to do.Li Xiaoling took the room reservation form and looked it over carefully. There were a few familiar people on the list.She picked up the phone to contact these people, discussed the adjustment of the time, and handed it over to the bar lady, asking them to contact the two regular customers and bring them over without worry.

Li Xiaoling turned her head and said with a smile: "Today is fine, the time can be adjusted. Sometimes there are too many guests, and the adjustment cannot be adjusted."

Tang Qinglian asked: "Business is so good, why not change the fourth and fifth floors into foot baths for leisure?"

"I've thought about this. When the hotel was being renovated, the upper floors were all guest rooms. If it was renovated, the regulations would have to be adjusted, and the procedures would be difficult. You know, the management of the hotel is very strict now. The last time we went to go through the procedures on the third floor It has been in operation for more than a year." Li Xiaoling said, turning around, "If there is a suitable place, I will open another one, new approval is much easier than adjustment. Hey, sister Qinglian, are you interested?"

Tang Qinglian said with a smile: "I can't support myself, so where can I get the money to open a shop!"

"Sister Qinglian, who are you lying to! Your family opened a paper factory, which paper factory is not good now? My foot bath shop often has the owner of your paper factory in Huangqiao wash your feet here!" Li Xiaoling pushed with a smile. Tweeted Tang Qinglian and said, after thinking about it, "But yes, you are a new wife, you have not participated in the management, so you can't make the decision."

Tang Qinglian smiled and said nothing.

When the two arrived at the wedding hall on the second floor, Liu Meihui was about to go upstairs with Lele in her arms when Lele woke up.

Tang Qinglian waved goodbye to Li Xiaoling, Li Xiaoling smiled and said, "Sister Qinglian, remember to call me!"
