Feng Yifan kept telling stories to the two girls until the two girls' breathing became steady and they fell into a sweet dream. Only then did he stop.
He stood up gently, carefully covered the two girls with thin quilts, turned off the air conditioner in the room, turned off the bedside lamp, left the room quietly, and closed the door gently.
Walking out of the girls' room, Feng Yifan looked up at the time on the clock in the living room.
It's almost 11 o'clock, so there's no need to rush to the night market at this time.
So he turned and walked towards his room.
I opened the door gently, thinking that my wife had already gone to bed, but I didn't expect that she was sitting on the bed watching TV.
When she saw her husband come in, Su Ruoxi immediately opened her arms and called out in a sweeter voice than ever before.
"Hubby, come on."
Feng Yifan was stunned for a moment, not understanding what was going on with his wife.
It seemed that before, when he asked her for help, his wife pretended not to hear or see anything. At that time, Feng Yifan thought that something had happened to make his wife angry.
But now my wife is calling me in such a sweet and coquettish voice.
Feng Yifan was a little confused for a moment.
Su Ruoxi saw her husband standing at the door indifferently, and said again: "Husband, come here quickly."
Feng Yifan came back to his senses and quickly agreed and walked towards the bed: "Okay, I'm coming."
Feng Yifan quickly came to the bedside, and when he sat down, he was still a little worried that his wife would surprise him.
But Su Ruoxi suddenly hugged her husband, put her arms around his neck, pulled him in front of her, and kissed him.
His wife's behavior made Feng Yifan even more confused.
After responding to his wife's intimacy, he couldn't help but ask: "Wife, is there something wrong with you? Did I do something to make you unhappy? You must tell me, don't keep it in your heart, it's not good for your health."
Su Ruoxi couldn't help laughing when she saw her husband's cautious look.
"Hahaha, why are you so scared? Do you think I'm mad at you? So I'm deliberately not being nice to you? Or are you angry? Do you think I didn't treat you nicely when you asked for help outside just now? I didn't help you comfort your daughter?"
Feng Yifan quickly said, "No, no, how dare I blame my wife."
Su Ruoxi continued, "Okay, okay, if you're angry, then I'm wrong. I just wanted to see how you would explain to your daughter the differences between men and women, or continue to spoil her and agree to whatever she wants."
After hearing what his wife said, Feng Yifan reached out and hugged her and said, "Honey, I'm sorry. I know I'm a little doting on Ruoruo now, and I think it might make you unhappy."
Su Ruoxi shook her head and said, "No, I'm not unhappy that you spoil Ruoruo. I just think that you can't spoil her too much. You still have to let her understand the principles that she should understand, otherwise she will only become more and more willful in the future."
Feng Yifan immediately promised: "Okay, I will definitely teach Ruoruo the truth in the future."
Su Ruoxi smiled and gently stroked her husband's face: "It's okay, didn't you handle it well today? Let Ruoruo understand why you can't hug her and Sister Wenwen, and also let Ruoruo understand that there are many differences between boys and girls, and you can't be too intimate with boys casually."
While enjoying his wife's touch, Feng Yifan said, "I've also realized some problems. Ruoruo is growing up, and I really should let her understand that there are differences between men and women. I can't let Ruoruo suffer any loss."
Su Ruoxi hugged her husband and said, "Well, I know, husband, you will definitely teach Ruoruo well."
Hearing his wife's words, Feng Yifan raised his head and kissed his wife.
"Don't worry, I will definitely teach Ruoruo well, and I will also teach our other children well in the future, to ensure that they can all grow up healthily and become smart and sensible children."
Hearing her husband's words, Su Ruoxi took her husband's hand and placed it on her abdomen.
"So do you hope that the child will be a boy or a girl?"
Feng Yifan smiled and replied, "Boys and girls are fine. I'm not the kind of person who favors boys over girls. And as you know, my parents don't care."
Su Ruoxi said seriously: "Then I still hope he is a boy."
Feng Yifan looked at his wife and said, "Are you worried that no one can inherit Su Ji? Don't worry, even if it's a girl, as long as she and Ruoruo want to learn, or if our future son-in-law has this talent, I will teach them without reservation and will not let Su Ji's inheritance be cut off."
Su Ruoxi shook her head: "No, that's not the reason."
Feng Yifan looked at his wife strangely, not quite understanding what she meant.
Su Ruoxi said seriously: "Because Ruoruo is a girl, and girls are often at a disadvantage, so I hope to have a boy who can be like his father and take on the responsibility of protecting the family when he grows up, and can also take care of Ruoruo, the older sister."
Feng Yifan heard his wife say, "It's okay, we can take care of them too."
Su Ruoxi still insisted: "No, we will all grow old. I don't want my last two daughters to suffer so much. I still want a son to shoulder those burdens."
Feng Yifan thought for a moment and said, "But what if my son doesn't want to? Or what if he doesn't have the ability?"
When Su Ruoxi heard her husband's words, she was silent for a while, and then she smiled frankly.
"Yeah, I'm thinking too much. The child hasn't even been born yet. How can we be sure what he will look like when he grows up?"
At this point, Su Ruoxi gently touched her belly and whispered, "Well, good boy, whether you are a boy or a girl, mom and dad will love you the same. I hope you can grow up healthily."
Feng Yifan stroked his wife's belly and said, "Good boy, mom is just a little nervous, so mom is not biased towards boys. If you were a girl, you must not hate mom. You still have to love mom because mom works really hard."
Su Ruoxi was moved to hear her husband say this and hugged him again: "Thank you, husband."
Feng Yifan got on the bed, took his wife into his arms and said, "Okay, go to sleep and have a good rest. Don't think too much. From now on, no matter what troubles you have, your husband will protect you from the wind and rain and will not let you and Ruoruo be in any danger."
When Su Ruoxi heard her husband's words, she completely relaxed and slowly lay down.
Then, like a little girl, she curled up in her husband's arms and slowly fell asleep.
After Feng Yifan coaxed his wife to sleep, he got up quietly and left the room.
From his wife's behavior tonight, Feng Yifan could feel that his wife seemed to be more nervous about this pregnancy and had some strange thoughts in her mind. He decided to take better care of his wife and prevent her from having wild thoughts. At the same time, he also tried his best to relieve his wife's bad emotions.
I looked at the clock in the living room. It was almost half past 11 and it was almost time for the night market to close.
Feng Yifan grabbed a coat, took his cell phone and keys, and left home quietly.
When Feng Yifan arrived at the night market, most of the stalls in the small market had already been closed.
The only ones who might not have closed their stalls yet were Lin Ruifeng, Ma Xiaolong and a few others who were already preparing to close their stalls.
When they saw Feng Yifan, the stall owners all greeted him.
Similarly, Feng Yifan naturally responded to those bosses.
After that, he came to his apprentice's stall.
Looking at Lin Ruifeng, Zhao Daxia and Ning Cheng who were still busy inside, Ning Cheng was no longer standing there stupidly, but knew how to take the initiative to help.
Lin Ruifeng also has a bit of the demeanor of a general and is able to plan and coordinate things.
Zhao Daxia remained silent as usual and just kept busy.
Compared with the harmonious state of the three people here, Ma Xiaolong seems a little flustered.
Originally, Catherine, Hans and Tom had helped in the first two days, but they have left in the past few days. They have to prepare various things for opening and decorating the store, so they have to go back first. However, they should be back in a week to start decorating and preparing for opening the store.
Feng Yifan stood in front of the stall and waited for his apprentice to hand the last serving of fried rice and wontons to the diners in line.
He just said: "Well, it looks like business has been good these past two days."
Hearing the voice, Lin Ruifeng, Zhao Daxia and Ning Cheng realized that Feng Yifan had arrived, and the three of them immediately took the initiative to greet him.
Feng Yifan went on to say: "It's raining today, but there are still people queuing up so late. Xiaolin has indeed built a good reputation."
Lin Ruifeng quickly said: "Everyone is here for the reputation of you and Su Ji, Master."
Feng Yifan waved his hand: "Don't say that, Ruifeng, you are good in everything except that you are too cautious sometimes and don't like to recognize your own abilities. In fact, maybe those people came for my and Su Ji's reputation at the beginning, but after so long, they should still be coming for your craftsmanship."
Lin Ruifeng felt a little embarrassed and said, "I am doing what my master taught me."
Feng Yifan continued, "You have done very well and you have mastered the skills, so you have to believe in your abilities and be more confident. You have made great progress."
After encouraging his apprentice, Feng Yifan looked at Ning Cheng and asked, "How is it? Ning Cheng, after working these few days, have you realized that being a good cook is not that easy? Are you sure you want to continue learning cooking from me? Do you want to continue working in my restaurant as a handyman?"
Ning Cheng did not hesitate and said very seriously: "Yes, I am willing to start from doing odd jobs and learn little by little."
Feng Yifan nodded: "Well, a real man should stick to his word. Now that you have said it, you must try your best and give your all to do your best."
Ning Cheng nodded seriously: "Yes, I will definitely work hard, Uncle Yifan."
Zhao Daxia smiled and said, "Why are you still calling Yifan uncle? Shouldn't you call him master instead? Even if you don't call him master, you should at least say: Yes, chef."
Ning Cheng looked at Feng Yifan, hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes, chef."
He didn't call him Master directly because Ning Cheng was also full of pride. He hoped that he could pass the test and become Feng Yifan's disciple with dignity.
Feng Yifan saw through Ning Cheng's thoughts at a glance, nodded and said, "Well, work hard."
After talking to Lin Ruifeng and the others for a few words, Feng Yifan came to Ma Xiaolong's stall again.
Ma Xiaolong had almost finished cleaning up here. Although he seemed a little flustered at the beginning, Ma Xiaolong had trained with Feng Yifan for a long time after all, so he was able to clean up quickly.
You know, back then, Ma Xiaolong and Feng Yifan were able to support a small restaurant.
Seeing Feng Yifan standing in front of the stall, Ma Xiaolong immediately said seriously: "Chef, I have already cleaned up here. I have finished cleaning and can close the stall after taking out the garbage."
Feng Yifan was very satisfied with Ma Xiaolong's efficiency.
But he didn't come here to praise Ma Xiaolong.
"It seems that your influence as an internet celebrity has not faded yet? And it has been growing stronger recently?"
Ma Xiaolong suddenly understood that what was coming would come sooner or later, and he had no way of avoiding it.
The previous publicity and promotion of himself did help his business improve rapidly, but now it has brought serious consequences and made Ma Xiaolong extremely distressed.
Ma Xiaolong knew very well that Feng Yifan really didn't like this situation.
Because he did not use his cooking skills to achieve the result, but used other aspects.
Seeing that Ma Xiaolong didn't speak, Feng Yifan continued, "I hope that when Su Ji reopens, it will be a restaurant that returns to the essence of food, rather than an Internet celebrity restaurant that becomes famous through other gimmicks. Do you understand?"
Ma Xiaolong raised his head when he heard this, and looking at Feng Yifan's stern gaze, he nodded without hesitation.
"Yes, Chef, I understand, I will take care of it as soon as possible."
Feng Yifan nodded: "Okay, I believe you can solve it."
In the following time, Feng Yifan also helped to clean up both sides. Soon both stalls were cleaned up, and the group left the small market together and returned to the ancient street.
After helping the two apprentices put the things back into the shop, Feng Yifan told them to rest early and took Ning Cheng home.
On the way back, Feng Yifan suddenly asked, "Ning Cheng, do you envy Ma Xiaolong?"
Ning Cheng was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect to be asked directly like this.
After hesitating for a while, Ning Cheng decided to tell the truth: "Yes."
Feng Yifan continued to ask: "If you had Ma Xiaolong's cooking skills, what would you do next?"
This time Ning Cheng hesitated for a long time, as if he was struggling very hard in his heart, with all kinds of thoughts colliding violently in his mind.
Finally, Ning Cheng answered: "I do envy Brother Xiaolong, but I think with his cooking skills, he would want to have a place to show his cooking skills, rather than on the street, like a street performer, showing those casually to people who don't know how to appreciate them."
After hearing what Ning Cheng said, Feng Yifan stopped and turned around to look at Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng subconsciously wanted to dodge Feng Yifan's gaze at first, but in the end he looked at him firmly.
After looking at Ning Cheng for a moment, Feng Yifan finally recognized him.
"Well, you still have two weeks, I hope you can work hard."
Ning Cheng watched Uncle Yifan turn around and continue walking forward, and he immediately followed him, agreeing, "Yes, chef."
