Feng Yifan was watching the steamed buns in the kitchen while continuing to teach Lin Ruifeng.
"When you were dicing just now, you didn't hold the knife very steadily, and the chicken cubes were too big, and the bamboo shoots were not diced finely enough. You must pay attention to these, and you must not be careless about these details."
Lin Ruifeng was very humble and listened carefully to Feng Yifan's instructions. He also carefully wrote down some of the mistakes that were pointed out.
By the time Feng Yifan had finished cooking the porridge he had prepared in the morning, the buns and steamed dumplings on the stove had basically been steamed. He asked his apprentice to finish the cooking downstairs while he went upstairs to help his father-in-law get up.
Everyone upstairs got up one after another, washed up and came downstairs. Lin Ruifeng had already prepared breakfast and was almost done.
When Feng Ruoruo went downstairs, she followed behind her father, and her little hands gently supported her grandfather on her father's back, as if she was afraid that her grandfather would slip off her father's back.
Su Ruoxi carried the wheelchair downstairs. Seeing this, Lin Ruifeng took the initiative to step forward, took it and unfolded the wheels.
After putting his father-in-law down, Feng Yifan took the wheelchair and pushed his father-in-law to the dining table.
The family sat down together. When Feng Ruoruo saw the emerald green steamed buns, she couldn't help but say, "Dad, hurry up. Ruoruo is hungry. I want to eat that steamed bun."
Feng Yifan put the steamed buns on a small plate for his daughter, then handed the plate to her and said, "Be careful, it's a little hot."
When Feng Ruoruo heard her father say that it would be hot, she quickly said, "Dad, blow it for me."
The little girl looked pleading, holding her small plate in both hands and raising it in front of her father, asking him to blow it. The way the little girl acted coquettishly with her father looked really cute.
Seeing this, Lu Cuiling smiled and said, "Look, now that he's away from his dad, he can barely eat."
Hearing what her grandmother said, Feng Ruoruo responded with a smug smile: "Yes, I just want my dad to blow it."
Feng Yifan reached out and held his daughter's hand, helped her hold the small plate, and bent down to carefully blew away the hot steam from the steamed buns in the plate.
"Well, daddy has given Ruoruo a blow job. It shouldn't be so hot now. Ruoruo, try it."
Seeing her father blowing the steamed buns cool seriously, Feng Ruoruo was very happy. She grabbed a jade steamed bun with her hand and pretended to eat it in front of her grandma, grandpa, mom and Uncle Xiaolin before she took a big bite.
"It's delicious. I like the steamed buns made by dad. Ruoruo likes sweet food."
Lu Cuiling couldn't help but said sourly: "Oh, now Daddy is really good at everything. When I slept with grandma last night, it was still grandma who was good at everything."
Feng Ruoruo quickly came to her grandmother's side, hugged her arm and said with a smile: "Grandma is fine too."
Seeing the little girl trying to please her grandmother and even giving the steamed buns that her father had helped cool to her grandmother to eat together, the whole family couldn't help but laugh.
Seeing his daughter approaching her grandmother, Feng Yifan picked up the small bowl, sat next to his father-in-law and fed him porridge.
While feeding porridge to his father-in-law, Feng Yifan mentioned the old man and the young man he met twice at the farmers' market this morning.
Su Jinrong ate two mouthfuls of white porridge, listened to his son-in-law's description, thought about it seriously, and said, "The person you are talking about is Uncle Su Ji, your grandfather's assistant for the state banquet."
Hearing their father-in-law say this, Feng Yifan and Su Ruoxi were a little surprised, and Lu Cuiling couldn't help but look over here.
For Feng Yifan and Su Ruoxi, the fact that Su Ruoxi's grandfather would attend the state banquet was actually a very distant thing.
As for the uncle-master mentioned by Su Jinrong, who was his grandfather's assistant at the state banquet, Feng Yifan had never seen him in his previous life.
When Su Ruoxi was born, Su Ji had already experienced the elopement and separation of her aunt and the eldest brother, and it was no longer as glorious as it once was. Of course, her grandfather was still alive at that time, and Su Ji's business was still booming.
When Su Ruoxi recalled her grandfather, she still had a vague impression that her grandfather was very kind to her, but he was always a little depressed.
Later, my grandfather fell ill, and my father was busy going back and forth between the restaurant and the hospital every day, taking care of my grandfather until the end of his life. It was also because of the reality at that time that my father gave up the opportunity to participate in the state banquet.
Now when she heard her father mention that uncle, Su Ruoxi vaguely remembered that she seemed to have seen that man when her grandfather passed away.
Su Jinrong didn't introduce much. He ate a few more mouthfuls of porridge before saying, "He came when my grandfather passed away. Later, he came again and persuaded me to go north. I couldn't leave my family, so I refused."
Hearing his father-in-law talking about this calmly, Feng Yifan couldn't help but suddenly think that his father-in-law had actually voluntarily given up many opportunities in his life.
My father-in-law gave up the opportunity to attend the state banquet because his father was seriously ill.
Later, his uncle came to ask him to go north to make a living, but he gave up because he wanted to take care of his family.
Even after his mother-in-law passed away, his father-in-law could have remarried and maybe have a son to inherit Su Ji, but he still gave up.
Feng Yifan thought that perhaps for his father-in-law, guarding the old plaque was more like a promise he made to his ancestors. He could not make the old plaque more glorious, nor did he ever think of using it to gain more fame and fortune. He just wanted to keep the old plaque with the flavor of Su Ji.
Su Jinrong paused, then continued, "He came because of Su Lanxin."
Feng Yifan understood that despite his seemingly calm attitude, his father-in-law was actually somewhat unwilling and resigned, and even unwilling to let outsiders interfere.
Understanding his father-in-law's intention, Feng Yifan said seriously: "Dad, don't worry, no matter who comes, they can't take the old plaque away."
Su Jinrong looked at his son-in-law, then at his daughter, his granddaughter and her grandmother. The old man suddenly felt that perhaps the old plaque was no longer important to such a happy little family like theirs.
Thinking of this, Su Jinrong asked Feng Yifan: "If the old plaque is given to them, can you continue to run the restaurant?"
Hearing this, Lin Ruifeng, who had been eating silently and had no right to speak, suddenly said, "You can't give it to him. How can you give Uncle Rong's old plaque to him? It's yours."
Lin Ruifeng's excited words were a little unexpected to everyone. After a brief moment of stunned silence, Feng Yifan smiled and patted him: "Eat yours."
But Feng Ruoruo spoke up to support Uncle Xiaolin at this time: "Ruoruo supports Uncle Xiaolin. Grandpa's things cannot be given to others. Grandpa's things belong to Grandpa."
The atmosphere was a bit tense at first, but after Feng Ruoruo said that, especially as the little girl mumbled something while still holding the steamed buns in her mouth, the atmosphere suddenly became less tense.
Su Ruoxi smiled and said to her daughter: "Of course grandpa's things are not given to others. You should eat well and don't talk while eating."
Feng Yifan looked at his father-in-law, a confident smile appeared on his face and he said, "Dad, whether there is an old plaque or not, I can guarantee that I can definitely run the restaurant, and I will definitely work hard to do it well."
After a short pause, Feng Yifan continued, "But I think Xiaolin and our Ruoruo are right. That old plaque was passed down to you by your grandfather, so it belongs to you. So there is no need for you to compromise or give it to others."
Su Jinrong looked at his son-in-law with a hint of sadness in his eyes, as if he felt that he had failed to carry forward the old legacy and was somewhat ashamed of his ancestors.
Feng Yifan saw his father-in-law's expression and said, "Dad, I understand that you feel that you have failed the inheritance of your ancestors and have not carried forward the old plaque, but I don't think so.
You stick to the restaurant, and every dish you make retains the traditional taste. You are worthy of the old plaque, and you have kept the old plaque well. "
Su Jinrong felt comforted by his son-in-law's words, and he suddenly felt that his son-in-law seemed to understand him very well.
Feng Yifan looked at his father-in-law's expression and said with a smile: "Dad, don't worry, the old plaque is yours, I will definitely help you protect it, and no one else can take it away from you."
Feng Ruoruo followed suit and shouted, "Yes, no one else is allowed to take Grandpa's things. Dad, you have to protect Grandpa's things."
Feng Yifan picked up a tissue and wiped the corner of his daughter's mouth and said, "Don't worry, Dad will definitely protect grandpa's things."
