After leaving the market, Su Ruoxi couldn't wait to dial the number on the business card.
Seeing this, mother-in-law Lu Cuiling couldn't help but smile. She could still understand her daughter-in-law's urgency to find a table as soon as possible and rearrange the restaurant.
It is not difficult to see that after listening to what old man Zhuang Daozhong said last night and discussing with her husband, Su Ruoxi has made up her mind to rearrange the restaurant.
After dialing the phone, Su Ruoxi took the time to tell the other party her request.
But there was no good news on the other end of the phone.
"Oh, you want a rectangular dining table? The kind used in restaurants? Okay, I see, but I don't have any right now. How many would you like? I'll let you know when I have some."
Su Ruoxi was naturally disappointed after hearing what the other party said, because if the other party said that it was not available now, it meant that she didn't know when it would be available.
However, Su Ruoxi still told the other party approximately how many sheets were needed, as well as the quantity and specifications.
The person on the other end of the phone obviously took note, and then said, "Okay, I've noted it down. It'll take about 16 to 18 photos. Don't worry, I'll definitely contact you if I find a suitable one. Leave your phone number here."
After leaving the phone number, Su Ruoxi did not forget to remind him: "Please pay attention, we have some urgent needs, thank you."
The person on the other end of the phone agreed: "Okay, as soon as I find a suitable one, I will definitely notify you to come and choose first. Okay, that's it for now."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Cuiling saw that her daughter-in-law looked unhappy. She probably guessed that things might not go so smoothly, but she couldn't help asking, "How is it? Is there any over there?"
Su Ruoxi looked at her mother-in-law and sighed helplessly: "Mom, there is no suitable one over there right now, they said we have to wait."
Lu Cuiling smiled and comforted her daughter-in-law: "It's okay, it's definitely easier for them to help find it than for us."
Then, Su Ruoxi cheered up: "Well, Mom, let's go back first. If we can't find a suitable one, we can just find a carpenter on the old street to help make a batch for us."
Hearing her daughter-in-law's words, Lu Cuiling was stunned for a moment.
It is true that there are some carpenters on the old street.
However, it would cost a lot of money to directly ask a carpenter to make a wooden table according to the proportions, and it would be impossible to complete it in a short time.
Thinking of this, Lu Cuiling couldn't help but wonder if her daughter-in-law was being too anxious and a little hysterical.
Fortunately, Su Ruoxi laughed again: "Haha, Mom, I was really stupid. It would cost a lot of money to find a carpenter to make it, and the carpenter seems to be slower."
Hearing her daughter-in-law say this, Lu Cuiling secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, her daughter-in-law was still relatively sober.
Then the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law didn't delay and took a taxi back to the old street.
When the car was about to reach a certain intersection, Su Ruoxi looked at the scene outside the car window and suddenly thought of another place. She quickly said to the driver: "Master, let's turn around and go to the flea market."
The driver didn't say much. He just responded, turned around at the intersection, and drove in another direction.
The taxi carrying the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law soon arrived at a slightly shabby street intersection.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law paid the money and got off the car together.
Lu Cuiling took a look into the market and saw that it was indeed a flea market. All kinds of second-hand goods were displayed on the street almost everywhere in the market.
Su Ruoxi smiled and said to her mother-in-law: "Mom, I suddenly thought of this place. Maybe I can find a suitable table here."
Lu Cuiling laughed: "You are still impatient after all."
Su Ruoxi said seriously: "We must hurry up and complete the rearrangement as soon as possible, otherwise when the old street is really closed for reconstruction, it will be too late for us to finish it."
Lu Cuiling thought for a moment and asked, "Ruoxi, have you ever thought about what you will do after the old street is closed for reconstruction?"
Su Ruoxi, who was about to step into the flea market, stopped when she heard her mother-in-law's words.
Su Ruoxi had thought about this issue many times before her husband came back, and had already made a decision.
At that time, her husband had not returned, so Su Ruoxi decided that when the old street was really closed for reconstruction, she would simply sell the old shop at a discount and leave with her father and daughter.
When making this decision, Su Ruoxi was in a rather pessimistic state.
She felt that her husband had abandoned her and her daughter, her father had suffered a stroke, and there was no one to support the restaurant.
Instead of continuing to guard it, it is better to just quit and live a quiet life in a different environment.
But her husband came back, and in just one week, he re-established Su Ji by himself. With his cooking skills, he not only drove away the aunt who coveted the old plaque, but also attracted some new diners.
So at this point, Su Ruoxi's thoughts changed. She hoped to work together with her husband to support Su Ji.
But the reconstruction of the old street is something we have to face.
Su Ruoxi thought about it seriously, and then said to her mother-in-law, "Mom, the old street is closed for reconstruction, so our whole family will go to the countryside to find you and Dad, and have a good rest as a family."
Lu Cuiling was a little surprised by her daughter-in-law's words.
Su Ruoxi smiled and continued, "Yifan has been busy since he came back, and my dad has also been busy these years, so he hasn't had a good rest. My dad also said that he would close the store and rest for a while when the reconstruction of the old street begins.
I thought, our family should go to the countryside, and Ruoruo’s kindergarten would be on summer vacation at that time.
We will have a good rest in the countryside during the summer vacation, and then come back. If the reconstruction of the old street is completed, we will go back to open a store. If not, we will think of other ways. "
Lu Cuiling was still in a daze.
Seeing that her mother-in-law didn't say anything, Su Ruoxi asked curiously, "What's wrong, Mom? Will it be inconvenient for you and Dad if we go to the countryside?"
Lu Cuiling came back to her senses and quickly smiled: "What's the inconvenience? We welcome you now. When the time comes, we will let you take a good look at our countryside scenery and eat the freshest vegetables every day."
When talking about the countryside, Lu Cuiling's eyes light up. The old lady is naturally very confident about the vegetable farm that she and her husband run with their fellow villagers.
When Su Ruoxi listened to her mother-in-law's story, a rural scene suddenly emerged in her mind, and she was unconsciously filled with longing.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law stood at the intersection for a while. Su Ruoxi came to her senses, took her mother-in-law's arm and said, "Mom, let's go in. I hope we can find a suitable dining table and finish the new layout as soon as possible. Fortunately, we can make a lot of money before the old street is closed for reconstruction."
Hearing her daughter-in-law's words, Lu Cuiling thought for a moment and whispered, "Hey, why do I feel like Ruoruo said this?"
The next moment, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other, and then laughed together.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked and laughed, attracting many people in the flea market. In the eyes of most people, they would think that these two people who are so close must be mother and daughter.
Who could have imagined that they were mother-in-law and daughter-in-law
While the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were searching in the flea market, Feng Yifan was making Yi Fu noodles in Su Ji Restaurant, starting with kneading the dough.
