Feng Yifan didn't take the discussion between his apprentice's aunt and the bed next to him to heart. Instead, his grandmother said to Feng Yifan a little embarrassedly: "Master Feng, I really made you laugh."
Feng Yifan smiled and responded, "Grandma, it's okay. Take good care of yourself. When you get better, please come to my place. I'll ask Ruifeng to cook for you and prepare a feast for you. You can also taste my grandson's cooking."
When the grandmother heard this, she was naturally very happy. She looked at her grandson standing aside and said, "Xiaofeng, you must learn well from the master."
Lin Ruifeng immediately nodded seriously: "Okay, grandma, I will definitely study hard."
The aunt who was originally talking behind the bed next to her deliberately said loudly: "What can you learn from a chef in a small restaurant?"
When the grandmother heard this, she looked at her daughter-in-law and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Whether Xiaofeng can learn skills depends on whether he works hard. His master is also a famous chef."
Without giving her daughter-in-law a chance to speak, the grandmother said directly: "Go back and don't embarrass me here."
When Aunt Lin Ruifeng heard this, she immediately said with a cold face: "Okay, since you have spoken, I will go back. Anyway, you have always treated the younger grandson better than the older grandson. It seems that our family does not have a biological grandson."
Grandma glared at my aunt who stood up and left. She was really angry, but my aunt didn't dare to stay and left quickly.
Feng Yifan comforted his grandmother: "Grandma, don't be angry. You still have to take care of your health. When you are well, come to our place and eat your grandson's food. Then you will naturally understand how hard your grandson works."
Grandma also calmed down, turned around, reached out and grabbed Lin Ruifeng's hand and said: "Xiaofeng, work hard, grandma believes you can do it."
Lin Ruifeng received his grandmother's understanding and support, and said seriously: "Don't worry, grandma, I will definitely work hard."
After chatting with grandma for a while, Feng Yifan and Su Ruoxi got up to say goodbye. They originally wanted Lin Ruifeng to stay so that he could spend more time with grandma.
But grandma said seriously: "Xiaofeng, come back with me, grandma is fine, and your parents are here, you go back and learn well from the master, and when grandma is discharged from the hospital, we will eat the food you cook."
With his grandmother's support, Lin Ruifeng nodded seriously and left with his master.
As for the money left by Feng Yifan and Su Ruoxi, the Lin family finally accepted it. After all, the money was not a lot, it was just a token of their appreciation.
On the way back, Lin Ruifeng was a little silent.
Seeing his apprentice was silent, Feng Yifan asked, "Why don't you say anything? Do you feel envious of your cousin who got an apprenticeship at Fujing Building? Do you want to try it too?"
Lin Ruifeng immediately said, "No, Master, I don't want to go to Fujinglou. I believe that your cooking skills are much better than the chef of Fujinglou."
When Feng Yifan heard his apprentice's words, he smiled calmly and thought to himself: Of course he is better than the chef of Fujinglou.
However, Feng Yifan continued, "Actually, everyone who studies cooking will more or less think about going to a big restaurant. After all, big restaurants are better places to showcase talent and ability. But if you want to showcase yourself, you must first have the ability."
Lin Ruifeng said seriously: "Master, I understand. I will not be too ambitious. I will learn from you well."
After a pause, Lin Ruifeng said, "Master, I was just thinking whether I could help out more at home, so that my parents can relax a little and don't have to rush back and forth between the hospital and home every day."
Hearing Lin Ruifeng's words, Feng Yifan looked at him with a relieved smile on his face.
Being able to say and think like this shows that Lin Ruifeng has indeed grown up, knows how to care about his parents, and understands the difficulties and hard work of his parents.
Feng Yifan also said: "Well, you really should help Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin share more of the burden. How about this, you don't have to come here in the morning, just stay busy at home, and wait until Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin come to the hospital, then you can go to Su Ji."
Lin Ruifeng nodded after hearing this: "Okay, Master."
When the taxi returned to the Old Street, Feng Yifan looked at the time and saw that it was almost time for his daughter to finish school, so he asked Lin Ruifeng to go back to the restaurant first. He and his wife went to the kindergarten to pick up their daughter and then went back.
"Ruifeng, go back and tell your uncle Rong and the others that we will go back after picking up Ruoruo."
Lin Ruifeng got out of the car, nodded in agreement, and promised to prepare some things in the kitchen in advance.
Feng Yifan didn't stop him, but just gave a few instructions.
Then, Feng Yifan asked the taxi to make a circle and stopped at the kindergarten. He and his wife went to the kindergarten gate to wait for their daughter to finish school.
When we arrived at the gate of the kindergarten, there were already many parents waiting to pick up their children.
Feng Yifan held his wife's hand and stood at a distance from the crowd waiting.
At this time, Feng Yifan took some time to look at the situation around the kindergarten and whispered to his wife, "There are indeed quite a few shops around Ruoruo Kindergarten, and they all seem to be mainly selling children's clothing. If we can open a snack bar here, business should be good."
Su Ruoxi smiled and said to her husband: "The rent of the shops here is not low."
Feng Yifan nodded and said, "I understand. After all, it's next to a kindergarten, so it's a prime location."
Su Ruoxi asked again: "You just said that business would be good if you opened a snack bar here. Are you still planning to open a store here?"
Feng Yifan smiled and replied, "How can I have the time? Besides, when the reconstruction of the old street is completed, our Su Ji's business will definitely be good. We won't lack such a little bit. What's more, our products are healthier."
Su Ruoxi curled her lips and said, "Are you saying that the food in the snack bar is unhealthy?"
Feng Yifan continued with a smile: "To be honest, most of the foods that attract us the most may not be that healthy."
Su Ruoxi was a little surprised: "Why is it unhealthy?"
Feng Yifan gave some examples: "Think about it, the most attractive fried and barbecued foods, as well as various sweets that attract children, including milk tea in some milk tea shops, are actually not that healthy, but they are the most attractive."
After hearing what her husband said, Su Ruoxi thought about it and it seemed to be true. These were indeed unhealthy.
But these foods are all very attractive, and the taste is often so delicious that people can't stop eating.
Feng Yifan saw his wife's stunned look and smiled and said, "Although it's not healthy, it's okay to eat it once in a while. And just like desserts, sweetness brings people more happiness. It's indispensable to us. We can try to be as healthy as possible."
Hearing this, Su Ruoxi remembered the towel roll she made at noon. Her husband did not use butter, but yam puree instead of filling.
"You use yogurt, milk and yam puree instead of cream for the towel rolls at noon, just to make the children eat healthier, right?"
Feng Yifan nodded: "Yes, desserts are necessary, but they also have to be a little healthier."
Su Ruoxi pouted: "Aren't you afraid that the children will say that you deliberately lied to them? Obviously, other people's cakes all have cream in them, but you used yam paste to fool the children."
Feng Yifan laughed: "But, when it was ready, someone ate a lot of it."
Su Ruoxi's face flushed instantly, then she turned her head away and said, "Humph, I'm ignoring you."
Feng Yifan quickly stepped forward, took his wife's hand, gently held her waist and said, "Don't be angry, you are right. In the future, we will prepare better desserts for the children."
Just at this moment, the bell for the end of school rang in the kindergarten. As the door of the kindergarten opened, parents came in one after another.
Feng Yifan held his wife's hand and waited until the crowd of parents at the entrance was less crowded before he stepped into the kindergarten gate.
Not long after entering the room, Yang Zhiyi's voice came from behind: "Oh, it's really rare that you two come together to pick up your daughter today. Ruoruo will be very proud today."
Seeing that Yang Zhiyi was obviously in a hurry, Feng Yifan asked, "Where are you coming from in such a hurry?"
Yang Zhiyi said helplessly: "Where else can I come from? Didn't I just finish my work and rush over here?"
Su Ruoxi asked curiously: "Dad Xixi, are you busy recently?"
Yang Zhiyi sighed and said, "I'm just rushing to finish my manuscript recently. The editor was really pushing me to finish it, so I just finished writing and rushed over to pick up Xixi."
Feng Yifan asked curiously, "Xixi's father, I never asked you what you do. From what you said, you are a freelance writer? A writer?"
Yang Zhiyi said self-deprecatingly: "What do you mean by freelance writer or author? Actually, I am just an online writer."
After hearing what Yang Zhiyi said, Feng Yifan and Su Ruoxi looked at each other, and then Feng Yifan said, "Oh, I know. It's the kind of novel that is written and updated online every day, right?"
Su Ruoxi also understood, and then said: "That's also impressive, online writers are also writers now, and I heard that they earn a lot of money."
Yang Zhiyi sighed and said, "It's all hard-earned money. I rack my brains every day to write stories. If I update a little slower, the editors and readers will rush me. If the writing is a little mediocre, the readers will even scold you for being mediocre."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "This is not normal. It's just like some of us restaurant diners who like to be picky."
Without waiting for Yang Zhiyi to speak, Feng Yifan continued, "In fact, your writing of novels is similar to our restaurant business, both of which are customer-oriented, except that we satisfy the needs of the stomach, while you satisfy the needs of the spirit."
After hearing this, Yang Zhiyi's mood obviously improved a lot.
"Chef Feng is really good at talking. After hearing what you said, I feel like I'm much more distinguished." Yang Zhiyi smiled and said, "My current situation means that I can take care of Xixi more conveniently."
At this point, Yang Zhiyi paused for a moment and sighed helplessly: "After all, as you can see, Xixi's mother is very busy."
Su Ruoxi said, "Xixi's mother is amazing. How well did she do in the interview yesterday?"
Yang Zhiyi also nodded: "Yes, she is indeed more capable than me, so if she wants to pursue her own career, I will definitely have to take care of the family more. But it's good now, and we can both make money."
Feng Yifan agreed and said, "It's really good for you guys. One of you can take care of the family, and both of you can earn money. You are relatively financially independent. It's really a good situation."
Su Ruoxi suddenly said: "So, when you say that, do you dislike me for not being financially independent?"
Feng Yifan quickly said to his wife, "No way, there is no financial independence in our family. You are the one who controls the finances in our family. I am just working for you in the kitchen."
When Yang Zhiyi heard what the couple said, he immediately laughed: "Ruoruo's mother, when I was chatting with Xixi's mother, I was particularly envious of your family."
Su Ruoxi asked curiously, "What is there to envy about our family? We can only hang around the restaurant all day long."
Yang Zhiyi quickly said, "Isn't this great? Look at the two of you. You are close to each other and you don't delay taking care of your daughter. This is really a very good family model. We are all envious."
At this point, Yang Zhiyi whispered, "Grandpa and grandma Feifei, I envy your family so much."
Hearing Yang Zhiyi mention Chen Yaofei's family, Su Ruoxi sighed and said, "I don't know what kind of work Feifei's parents do. I heard that they are always abroad and have no time to come back to accompany their daughter."
Feng Yifan couldn't help but think of himself, and said with some guilt: "Alas, I just thought about the fact that I haven't been back for five years. It's really hard for you, my wife."
Su Ruoxi was immediately amused: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about the past, okay?"
Yang Zhiyi suddenly felt a little sour: "You two really make me jealous, the name is Xixi's mother is not here."
Su Ruoxi quickly changed the subject: "Xixi's mother, do you need to work overtime again tonight?"
Yang Zhiyi nodded: "Yes, they came to the old street yesterday to shoot so much material, they must go back to edit it, I'm afraid they will be back very late tonight, I have to wait for Xixi to sleep at night and pick her up."
Su Ruoxi sighed: "Xixi's mother is really hard-working."
The three parents were chatting as they arrived at their daughter's class.
As soon as they entered the door, Feng Ruoruo and Yang Xiaoxi saw their parents coming. The two girls quickly stood up and ran towards their parents together.
What surprised Feng Yifan and the others was that Chen Yaofei's grandparents had arrived at the class earlier.
When the other children in the class saw Feng Ruoruo’s father coming, they immediately surrounded him and started yelling in front of Feng Yifan.
"Uncle Feng, the snacks you make are really delicious."
"Uncle Feng, your cake is delicious."
"Uncle Feng, can I ask my mother to buy you a cake? I want to eat it."
"Uncle Feng, I want to buy it too. I'll ask my dad to pay for it."
…
Facing the "siege" of a group of children, Feng Yifan was also a little surprised. Then he thought about it and pushed his wife out: "In fact, today's snacks were made by Ruoruo's mother. You should thank Aunt Su."
Su Ruoxi was a little surprised to be pushed out by her husband. Then the children came around.
"Thank you, Aunt Su."
"Aunt Su is amazing. The snacks she makes are delicious."
"Ruoruo's parents are both so amazing. I really envy her."
…
Surrounded by a group of children, Su Ruoxi was suddenly overwhelmed. She turned her head and glared at her husband, blaming him for bringing the "trouble" to her.
Seeing his wife glaring at him, Feng Yifan naturally stood up and explained to the children why they could not sell snacks.
"The snacks made by uncle and aunt are not for sale. You can ask Ruoruo to bring them to everyone every week, but we can't just eat snacks, right? So snacks can't be sold. Everyone can eat them once every Friday, okay?"
The children found it easy to understand Feng Yifan’s simple explanation, and they all jumped up and down to agree.
Finally, Feng Yifan and Su Ruoxi said goodbye to the children and teachers and took their daughter out of the kindergarten.
Feng Ruoruo was naturally very happy because her parents came to pick her up. Walking in the kindergarten holding her parents' hands, the little girl looked really proud.
