After sending her daughter off, Su Ruoxi decided not to go back to the restaurant. She planned to take her mother-in-law with her to a market that sells tables and chairs.
"Mom, let's not go back yet. Can you come with me to the market where tables and chairs are sold?"
When Lu Cuiling heard her daughter-in-law's words, she immediately guessed what she was thinking: "Are you planning to change the layout of the restaurant now? Remove some of the large tables?"
Su Ruoxi nodded and said seriously, "Yes, Mom, I think what Master Uncle Zhuang said is right. Whether the old street is rebuilt or not, it will not affect us changing the layout of the restaurant first. After all, we still have to do business."
Lu Cuiling also agreed with this statement: "Well, what Mr. Zhuang said is indeed correct. Even if this street needs to be rebuilt, you can still come back after the reconstruction. Those tables and chairs may still be used."
Su Ruoxi continued, "Yes, Yifan and I discussed it and decided to remove all the large tables and purchase some rectangular tables. The height is comparable to the large tables in the restaurant, so we don't have to change the chairs."
After hearing what her daughter-in-law said, Lu Cuiling thought it was a good idea: "Well, this is good, it can reduce some expenses."
Su Ruoxi took her mother-in-law and said as they walked: "So, Mom, since we have nothing to do in the morning, let's go to the table and chair market to see if we can find suitable tables and chairs."
Lu Cuiling walked with her daughter-in-law, thought for a moment and said, "Mom thinks you can buy some depreciated ones."
Su Ruoxi hesitated for a moment and said, "Isn't it difficult to use a depreciated table? And wouldn't it be unhygienic to use a depreciated table?"
Lu Cuiling smiled and said, "How can it be unhygienic? We can spend some money to repaint it. If we are worried about the unsanitary conditions, we can disinfect it. And if the old ones are depreciated, we can also choose new ones."
When Su Ruoxi heard her mother-in-law say this, she felt that it made sense and could save a lot of money.
The point is that it may be easier to buy a table by itself when buying a depreciated table, rather than necessarily buying it with a set of chairs.
After making the decision, Su Ruoxi took her mother-in-law's arm and said, "Okay, Mom, let's go quickly. Let's go take a look first and try to get back before the restaurant opens at noon, otherwise Yifan will be too busy to handle it alone."
Su Ruoxi is now full of energy and no longer has the self-pity she had before.
Since my husband came back, the entire restaurant has been revitalized and the home has been filled with vitality in just one week.
At this time, Su Ruoxi began to gradually return to her previous state, a state of being energetic and capable of standing on her own outside, so she naturally did what she said.
Since it has been decided to rearrange the restaurant and do a good job in Su Ji's business every day before the old street is rebuilt, Su Ruoxi feels that she cannot back down from this.
After getting into a taxi with her mother-in-law and telling the driver the address, Su Ruoxi called her husband to tell him.
Feng Yifan had just seen off the neighbors on the old street with his father-in-law when he received a call from his wife. After listening to her story, he couldn't help but laugh and cry.
He didn't expect that his wife would be so impatient. Why did he feel that being so impatient was something only a mother would do
However, Feng Yifan still encouraged his wife: "Well, you can go and have a look. It's best to find a batch of tables. We only need tables."
Su Ruoxi responded on the phone: "Of course I know, but we also need to prepare some stools, otherwise it won't work if others can't find stools when they add seats."
After talking for a while, Su Ruoxi felt that she couldn't make herself understood over the phone, so she could only say, "Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I'll take care of the details. Remember to stay at home and don't just stay in the kitchen. Take good care of Dad."
After hearing his wife's warning, Feng Yifan immediately agreed: "Yes, my dear wife, rest assured, I will complete the task."
Su Ruoxi couldn't help laughing at her husband's reply: "You are really getting better and better at talking. I won't talk to you anymore."
Before hanging up the phone, the sound of her husband kissing was heard on the other end of the line.
Su Ruoxi blushed instantly.
After her daughter-in-law hung up the phone, she saw that her face was slightly flushed, so Lu Cuiling asked, "What's going on? Did that brat Yifan say something to you?"
Su Ruoxi quickly said: "No, mom, he just asked us to be careful on the road."
Lu Cuiling nodded: "That's good. I found that the boy has learned bad habits since he came back from abroad. He only knows how to talk nonsense all day long. He has become very good at talking. He flirts with this person and that person. You have to keep an eye on him in the future."
Su Ruoxi smiled and hugged her mother-in-law's arm and said, "Don't you still have mom to help me? He doesn't dare."
Lu Cuiling also laughed, then moved her body and said, "Well, I think you should buy a car. It's not convenient without a car. How about getting a pickup truck like Yifan's dad and I did? How nice is that?"
Su Ruoxi also nodded and said, "We should indeed get a car, but a pickup truck may not work. Pickup trucks cannot be brought into the city casually."
Lu Cuiling thought for a moment and said, "Then get a van that can accommodate people and also be convenient for you to transport goods."
Su Ruoxi also thought about it seriously: "Well, I want to buy the kind with a bigger back. I don't need a van. As long as the trunk is a little more spacious, it will be convenient to put some things in it."
Lu Cuiling nodded: "Yes, it's all right. If the money is not enough, mom will pay for it."
Su Ruoxi responded with a smile: "It's enough. I can't always let you pay for it."
Lu Cuiling continued, "Don't be polite to mom. The money mom and dad earn will eventually be given to you. If you need anything, just tell mom. The financial power of our family is in mom's hands."
Su Ruoxi continued to hold her mother-in-law's arm like a daughter and said, "Okay, I will definitely not be polite to my parents if I need anything."
…
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took a taxi to the market selling tables and chairs. They hung up the phone in front of Su Ji's door, and Feng Yifan also told his father-in-law about the situation.
Su Jinrong smiled and said, "Okay, let Ruoxi be busy."
Feng Yifan also nodded happily: "Yes, I also think that it's good for Ruoxi to be busy. From now on, I will be in charge of the kitchen and she will take care of the restaurant. We have a clear division of labor."
At this moment, Su Jinrong felt as if he saw the shadow of his father in his son-in-law.
Su Jinrong vaguely remembers that when he was young and his mother was still alive, his father and mother ran Su Ji together in the same way.
After his father passed away, Su Jinrong also thought about doing this, but unfortunately his wife's health had not been good since she gave birth to their daughter. The couple ran Su Ji together for a short time, and then his wife also passed away.
Today, Su Ji has entered a new era. Su Jinrong vaguely feels that Su Ji should be doing well in the hands of his daughter and son-in-law.
Feng Yifan pushed his father-in-law and turned around to see Lin Ruifeng and said, "What are you still standing there for? Go to the kitchen and get those kitchen utensils out. We can only prepare the ingredients in the restaurant this morning."
Lin Ruifeng responded and quickly turned around and ran to the kitchen, bringing out the kitchen utensils and ingredients needed for preparation.
