After the birthday banquet and seeing off Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei's families, Su Ji finally closed officially.
Zhao Daxia originally wanted to help wash the dishes.
But Feng Yifan refused: "It's okay, I can do the rest by myself, it won't take much time, Sister Zhao, you should go back earlier."
Zhao Daxia hesitated for a moment and wanted to say something, but seeing Feng Yifan's insistent expression, she could only say: "Okay, thank you boss for today."
Feng Yifan smiled and responded: "You're welcome, we still need your help, Sister Zhao."
After watching Zhao Daxia leave, Feng Yifan started washing dishes in the bathroom.
Although he was not as quick and agile as Zhao Daxia, Feng Yifan finished quickly because there were not many dishes on the last table.
After finishing washing the dishes, Feng Yifan stepped into the kitchen and saw that Lin Ruifeng had not left yet.
"What's wrong? Are you planning to sleep here tonight?"
Lin Ruifeng was stunned for a moment, and quickly waved his hands: "No, Master, I, I actually wanted to wait for you and give you a gift."
Feng Yifan laughed: "You still have a gift for Master? Okay, take it out and let me see it."
Lin Ruifeng then took out the gift he had prepared.
It was not something purchased, but a statue carved by Lin Ruifeng himself using leftover materials. It really looked a bit like Feng Yifan cooking in the kitchen.
Especially with the wok and spatula in his hands, he really has the charm of Feng Yifan.
After looking at the sculpture, Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Not bad. You have learned carving to a certain level now. It seems that you can do some carving work in the future."
Lin Ruifeng bowed deeply to Feng Yifan and said, "Master, I wish you a happy birthday. Thank you for your teachings during this period. I will never forget your teachings and will work harder to learn cooking skills from you."
Feng Yifan patted his apprentice on the shoulder and said approvingly: "Well, Master believes in you, and Master also thanks you for your gift. As long as you continue to work hard in the future, Master will be very happy."
Lin Ruifeng nodded seriously: "Master, don't worry, I will definitely work harder."
Feng Yifan took the carving from his apprentice and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll accept the gift. Go back and have some rest."
Lin Ruifeng said goodbye to Feng Yifan, and also went out from the kitchen door and returned to his home through the alley behind.
Feng Yifan went out to take a look, locked the door of the bathroom, then locked the door of the kitchen. Finally, he checked the various gas valves and water valves in the kitchen to make sure they were all closed.
Feng Yifan then turned off the lights in the kitchen and left.
After checking the doors and windows of the restaurant in front and turning off the lights in the restaurant, Feng Yifan went upstairs.
Instead of returning to his room, he went to his father-in-law's room first and helped him wash up and go to bed.
Then he said hello to his uncle Shi Jinbin who was still awake.
Everything was done, and finally Feng Yifan returned to his room.
The moment the door was opened, a little figure on the bed cheered: "Happy birthday, Dad. Ruoruo wants to sleep with mom and dad today. Will Dad be very happy?"
Feng Yifan glanced at his daughter standing on the bed, then looked at his wife lying on the bed, and for a moment he was a little confused.
But he soon came to his senses and said to his daughter with a smile: "Didn't Ruoruo sleep with mom and dad yesterday? Of course dad is happy."
After being told this by her father, Feng Ruoruo suddenly came to her senses: "Yes, Ruoruo also slept with mom and dad yesterday."
When Su Ruoxi heard this, she couldn't help laughing: "You two are so funny. Ruoruo even forgot where she slept yesterday? What a stupid kid."
When Feng Ruoruo heard her mother calling her a stupid child, she immediately became unhappy and threw herself into her mother's arms.
"Mom is not allowed to call Ruoruo a stupid kid. Ruoruo is not a stupid kid."
Hugging her daughter, Su Ruoxi laughed happily on the bed.
Feng Ruoruo hugged her mother together. Hearing her mother laughing, the little girl was naturally dissatisfied. She reached out to cover her mother's mouth to stop her from laughing.
"Mom, don't laugh. If you laugh at Ruoruo again, Ruoruo will ignore you."
Su Ruoxi said cheerfully: "Mom didn't laugh at Ruoruo, doesn't Ruoruo allow mom to laugh?"
Feng Ruoruo pouted and continued to cover her mother's mouth: "No, mom, you are obviously making fun of Ruoruo."
Su Ruoxi hugged her daughter and kissed her: "Okay, Mommy won't laugh at you anymore."
Feng Yifan looked at the mother and daughter rolling and playing on the bed, and a smile appeared on his face, but he suddenly thought of something and turned and walked out.
I came to my mother's door and knocked gently.
Feng Yifan asked softly, "Mom, are you asleep?"
There was no response at first. After waiting for a while, my mother's voice came out: "Well, you're not asleep yet, what's wrong?"
Feng Yifan said outside the door: "Mom, I have something to tell you, can you open the door?"
There was another silence, but this time the door opened quickly.
Feng Yifan stood outside the door and looked at his mother who opened the door. In fact, he could see very clearly that his mother must have just cried, and there were still a few tear marks on her face.
Feng Yifan quickly stepped into his mother's room and closed the door.
Standing behind his mother, Feng Yifan gently stroked her shoulder and said, "Mom, I know that the stewed glutinous rice reminds you of grandma. Don't be sad. If you really miss grandma, I can accompany you back to Jinling to visit her grave."
Lu Cuiling sighed and shook her head, "No need."
Feng Yifan added: "Mom, you don't have to be sad. Grandma definitely doesn't want to see you sad."
Lu Cuiling said nothing, just nodded.
Feng Yifan continued, "Mom, it's been so many years, why is grandpa still unwilling to forgive you and accept my dad?"
Lu Cuiling sighed and said, "Things got really bad back then. Your grandfather was a very proud person."
Feng Yifan still asked in confusion: "Mom, what happened back then?"
Lu Cuiling looked up at her son, hesitated a little, but finally told him some things about the past.
This was the first time Feng Yifan heard his mother talk about some of the things that happened back then.
Speaking of which, what happened between my mother and my grandfather's family was not a big deal.
It was just because Lu Cuiling's father was not satisfied with Feng Jiandong as his son-in-law, and he stubbornly disagreed with their marriage, and even confiscated Lu Cuiling's household registration booklet at that time.
As a result, Lu Cuiling had a falling out with her family, and finally her mother took out her household registration book for her to get the certificate.
However, even Lu Cuiling's mother did not expect that although Lu Cuiling and Feng Jiandong got their marriage certificate, Lu Cuiling's father still felt very embarrassed.
It can be said that it was a matter of face that eventually led to a rift between Lu Cuiling and her father.
Lu Cuiling sighed and said, "Actually, your grandpa is just a little stubborn and very proud, but he's not a bad person. Later, your dad and I got jobs because your grandpa secretly asked people to help us. That's how we were able to get jobs in the factory."
Feng Yifan was very puzzled: "If that's the case, why can't Grandpa accept you back?"
Lu Cuiling shook her head again and said, "In fact, the fundamental reason is that your three uncles are worried that I will fight with them for the family property when I return, so they took advantage of your grandfather's weakness of being too proud."
After listening to what his mother said, Feng Yifan finally understood the crux of the whole matter.
My grandfather was a man who cared a lot about his reputation. He didn't really disagree with Feng Yifan's parents' marriage, but he felt that Feng Yifan's father should give him some face.
It turned out that Feng Yifan's father was originally a country boy, and was not very good at socializing.
So this left a bad impression on Grandpa Feng Yifan.
In addition, Feng Yifan's three uncles' exaggerated instigation behind the scenes caused his grandfather to have a very bad impression of Feng Yifan's father.
So much so that later on, my grandfather was unwilling to acknowledge Feng Jiandong as his son-in-law.
Since he has publicly denied it, and my grandfather is very concerned about his reputation, he will naturally not take the initiative to contact her again.
Lu Cuiling also has a stubborn temper. She thought that if she didn't want to have any contact with them, then she didn't want to have any contact with her family. In the end, the current situation occurred.
Lu Cuiling sighed and said, "Now, your grandpa is in poor health, and your three uncles all want your grandpa's property, so they will definitely not let me go back."
When Feng Yifan heard this, he immediately said in dissatisfaction: "Mom, why do you care about my uncles? If you want to go back and mend your relationship with grandpa, then go back. Dad and I support you. Oh, and Ruoxi and Ruoruo, our whole family supports you."
Lu Cuiling looked at her son, still hesitant for a moment, unable to make up her mind.
Feng Yifan continued, "Mom, we're going back to repair your relationship with Grandpa, not to get Grandpa's property. Our family is not short of money now."
Lu Cuiling continued to look at her son, thought for a moment and shook her head helplessly: "It's not as simple as you think."
Feng Yifan immediately said, "Mom, you're overthinking it. We have a clear conscience. Why are you so timid? Do you still want grandpa to apologize to you?"
Her son’s words touched Lu Cuiling. She lowered her head and thought about it seriously, and finally nodded.
"Yes, son, you are right. We have a clear conscience. We are going back to mend the relationship with your grandpa and apologize to him. I was too tough back then. Let your grandpa meet Ruoruo. We are just going to do these things and don't care what others think."
Feng Yifan nodded: "That's right, this is my vigorous and decisive mother."
Lu Cuiling looked at her son and reached out to touch his face.
"My son has grown up and is now an adult. He can care about his mother and take care of his own family. I am really pleased. Thank you, son."
Feng Yifan hugged his mother and said to her seriously, "Don't worry, Mom. Your son will definitely make your and Dad's lives better and better."
Lu Cuiling patted her son on the back and said with satisfaction: "Okay, Mom believes in you."
Lu Cuiling then added: "Mom wishes her son a happy birthday."
Feng Yifan responded softly: "Thank you, Mom."
The mother and son hugged for a while, and Lu Cuiling patted her son on the back and said, "Okay, go back to sleep quickly. If you don't go back, Ruoruo will definitely not want to sleep. You should go back to sleep early."
After saying goodbye to his mother, Feng Yifan returned to the room again.
When I opened the door, I found that the room was very quiet and the main lights in the room had been turned off, leaving only the small light at the head of the bed still on.
Seeing the mother and daughter sleeping in each other's arms on the bed, Feng Yifan tiptoed in and gently closed the door.
Then he went into the room to find clothes and took a shower in the bathroom.
Feng Yifan tiptoed to the bed again, then slowly got on the bed and slowly got into the quilt.
The moment when I am about to lie down and turn off the small bedside lamp to go to sleep.
Suddenly, Feng Ruoruo jumped up from the bed and threw herself into her father's arms: "Hahaha, was Dad fooled by Ruoruo? Did you think Ruoruo was asleep?"
Feng Yifan looked at his daughter and asked with a smile, "Why didn't Ruoruo sleep?"
The little girl hugged her father's neck tightly and said, "Because Ruoruo is waiting for Daddy. How can Ruoruo sleep if Daddy doesn't come back?"
Feng Yifan hugged his daughter and looked at his wife who was also awake.
He couldn't help but laugh and said, "So you two didn't sleep, you deliberately lied to dad."
Feng Ruoruo was naturally very happy when she heard that her father had been deceived: "Hahaha, Dad was deceived by me and Mom, Dad is the stupid one."
Feng Yifan naturally agreed with his daughter and said, "Okay, Dad is stupid."
Feng Ruoruo was naturally very happy to hear her father say this. She hugged her father contentedly and snuggled in his arms, with a look of great enjoyment on her little face.
The father and daughter hugged each other like this, and Feng Yifan also hugged his daughter and let her lie in his arms.
After swaying for a while, Su Ruoxi finally spoke: "Okay, you two should lie down and go to sleep quickly. Don't you see what time it is? Won't Ruoruo go to kindergarten tomorrow morning?"
Feng Yifan smiled and said to her daughter, "Mom has spoken. It's time for Ruoruo to go to bed."
Feng Ruoruo was very well behaved. She got down from her father's arms and crawled into the quilt, but she wanted her parents to hug her to sleep together: "I want my parents to hug Ruoruo to sleep together."
Su Ruoxi hugged her daughter first, and then Feng Yifan lay down and hugged his wife and daughter together.
Just like that, the family of three hugged each other and soon fell asleep together.
That night, Su Ji was peaceful and tranquil, just like every day after Feng Yifan returned.
Whether it is Feng Yifan, Su Ruoxi and Feng Ruoruo's family of three, or Su Jinrong next door, or Lu Cuiling, and Shi Jinbin who stayed at Su Ji.
Today, everyone feels at ease in Su Ji, especially after it closes at night. This feeling of ease really makes everyone feel comfortable.
In the cozy atmosphere, everyone can fall into a sweet dream.
