Feng Ruoruo held her mother with her left hand and her grandmother with her right hand, running on the sidewalk. The little girl was really happy and liked the feeling of running on the road outside.
In particular, I hope to hold my mother and grandmother's arms and move forward first, then suddenly step back, and then fall backwards and let my mother and grandmother hold me.
This swinging feeling, like swinging on a swing, made Feng Ruoruo laugh happily like a silver bell all the way.
Feng Yifan pushed his father-in-law and walked behind him. Looking at his daughter playing happily in front of him, his eyes were full of joy.
After swinging back and forth for a while, grandma finally couldn't bear it anymore: "Oh my, my little baby, can we take a break? You're almost breaking my arm."
Hearing her grandmother's words, little Feng Ruoruo stopped immediately, turned around, held her grandmother's hands with both hands, and asked with concern: "Grandma, is your arm really going to break? Grandma, I'm sorry, Ruoruo didn't mean it."
The little granddaughter had a look of concern on her face, and she carefully held her grandmother's hands with both hands. Her apologetic look was really adorable.
Grandma reached out and touched her granddaughter's face and said, "It's okay, grandma's arm is not broken, grandma is just tired, let's take a rest, okay?"
Feng Ruoruo immediately said, "Okay, okay, then grandma, let's go sit in the front."
Following where Feng Ruoruo pointed, there was indeed a bench where one could sit next to the flower bed not far ahead, next to the sidewalk.
Lu Cuiling nodded and said, "Okay, let's go over and sit for a while and wait for your father and grandfather."
Feng Ruoruo smiled and turned around to call her mother: "Mom, let's go over and sit there and wait for Dad and Grandpa to come."
Su Ruoxi smiled and nodded in agreement.
Then Feng Ruoruo, her grandmother and her mother went to the bench together. After her mother took out a tissue to wipe it, they sat down together.
After sitting down, Feng Ruoruo turned around and hugged her grandmother's arm, and observed her carefully again.
Su Ruoxi was a little surprised when she saw her daughter's expression and asked, "Ruoruo, what are you looking at while holding grandma's arm?"
Feng Ruoruo said seriously: "Mom, grandma just said that her arm is going to be broken. Let me take a look to see if grandma's arm is broken."
Hearing her daughter's words, Su Ruoxi couldn't help laughing.
Lu Cuiling also laughed: "Oh, our little baby Ruoruo has become a little doctor now?"
Feng Ruoruo said seriously, "Grandma, please move your arm to see if you are injured."
Lu Cuiling's concern for her granddaughter was really adorable, and she followed her granddaughter's instructions and moved around a bit. She said to her granddaughter seriously, "It's okay, grandma's arm is fine."
Seeing that her grandmother's arm could move freely, Feng Ruoruo finally felt relieved. She hugged her grandmother's arm and said, "I'm glad that grandma's arm is okay."
Lu Cuiling gently pinched her granddaughter's chubby little face and said, "Our Ruoruo is really great. Grandma likes her so much."
Su Ruoxi also laughed and looked at her husband and father who were slowly pushing the wheelchair and chatting as they walked.
Feng Yifan pushed the wheelchair and chatted with his father-in-law: "Dad, if my uncle comes forward, then my aunt should not come to force the old plaque again. Even if she comes to compete in cooking, you can rest assured that I am here."
Su Jinrong, who was sitting in a wheelchair, said: "It's okay, I'm not worried."
Feng Yifan added: "Dad, I know you might want me to go to my uncle's place and learn some more, so I can attend a state banquet.
But I feel that I have been away from you, Ruoxi and Ruoruo for five years, and I don’t want to leave you again. Whether or not I attend the state banquet is not that important to me.
Dad, do you think that I have no ambition to think this way? "
Su Jinrong was silent for a moment, then raised his head to look at his mother-in-law, daughter, and granddaughter who were sitting in front of him.
Especially when he saw his granddaughter's happy look and the smile on his daughter's face, Su Jinrong seemed vaguely to see his wife when she was young, and couldn't help but recall the time when his uncle came to find him to go north.
It seems that the choices I faced back then were the same as those faced by sons-in-law today.
Su Jinrong couldn't help but wonder, if he were given another chance to choose again, would he still give up going north like he did back then
After thinking about it, Su Jinrong felt that he would still give up. Thinking this way, he naturally understood his son-in-law.
Su Jinrong said, "If you don't want to go, then don't go. Stay and take good care of Ruoxi and Ruoruo."
Feng Yifan responded immediately: "Don't worry, Dad. I will definitely take good care of you and run Su Ji well. I think the idea that Master Uncle said today is a good one. We can remove some large tables and use folding square tables first. This will also be convenient for diners."
Su Jinrong hesitated for a moment and said, "But, at the end of the month, we have to start the renovation."
Feng Yifan went on to say, "So, we have to hurry up and make Su Ji famous before the renovation begins. That way, when the renovation is completed and we come back, there will naturally be many people coming to support us."
Su Jinrong felt that what his son-in-law said was quite right. Now, taking advantage of the upcoming renovation of the old street to promote it, he could take the opportunity to attract more diners.
After the renovation, as long as the craftsmanship remains, diners will definitely return.
But the old man asked again: "How do you plan to run Su Ji?"
Feng Yifan did not hide his thoughts and told his father-in-law directly: "Dad, I think Su Ji is still the same as before, a small restaurant like it is now, but we want to be more refined.
I want to turn Su Ji into a private kitchen restaurant. We will still open the door to welcome all kinds of diners at noon.
But in the evening, we implement a reservation system and offer diners some exquisite side dishes that are unique to us.
The price doesn’t have to be very high, but we want to maintain the style of a private chef.”
Su Jinrong suddenly felt that he didn't quite understand what his son-in-law was saying, but he still had a general idea of the concept. He roughly knew that his son-in-law wanted to turn Su Ji into a private chef restaurant.
This coincides with Su Jinrong's thoughts when he was young. After losing the opportunity to attend the state banquet and rejecting his uncle's invitation to go north, Su Jinrong also thought about turning Su Ji into a private chef restaurant.
However, many things went a little bit off track later on, mainly because Su Jinrong’s health was not that good.
The successive illness and death of his father and wife was actually quite a blow to Su Jinrong, so he felt a little helpless.
Hearing his son-in-law say this, Su Jinrong suddenly regained his fighting spirit. He felt that perhaps his son-in-law could help him achieve something that he had not been able to do when he was young.
Thinking of this, Su Jinrong nodded and said, "Okay, do it according to your idea."
The agreement between the father-in-law and son-in-law also increased Feng Yifan's confidence.
At this time, Feng Ruoruo, who was sitting on the bench, could no longer wait and stood up to wave to her grandfather and father: "Grandpa, Dad, please hurry up, we still have to go to the park."
Feng Yifan raised his head and looked at his daughter, smiling and agreeing: "Okay, Dad is here, let's go to the small park."
Seeing her father pushing her grandfather over, Feng Ruoruo stood up and said to her grandmother and mother, "Let's go. Let's go to the small park."
So, the family continued to move forward together, with Feng Ruoruo, her grandmother and her mother still in front, and her father pushing her grandfather behind, heading towards the small park at the west end along the sidewalk beside the road outside the old street.
