After dinner, Feng Ruoruo sat obediently in the living room watching cartoons, waiting until her grandmother finished washing the dishes in the kitchen.
The little girl stood up from the sofa as if she had been waiting for a long time.
"Grandma, have you washed the dishes yet?"
Lu Cuiling smiled and replied, "Yes, grandma has already washed the dishes."
Feng Ruoruo continued: "Okay, let's go quickly."
The whole family looked at the little girl strangely, wondering where she was going
Su Ruoxi quickly understood what her daughter meant: "Does Ruoruo want to go to the restaurant to see Daddy?"
Feng Ruoruo pretended at first and said, "No, we should go downstairs and take a walk after dinner. This will help digestion. Didn't grandpa say that we should walk a hundred steps after a meal?"
Seeing that her daughter did not admit it, Su Ruoxi said, "Then we can walk around the house. Look, our house is so big. Let's walk a hundred steps around the house."
When Feng Ruoruo heard her mother say this, she quickly said, "No, let's go downstairs and walk. We can't walk at home."
Su Ruoxi asked with a smile: "Why can't you walk at home? Isn't it all about walking?"
Feng Ruoruo pouted her lips, not knowing how to argue with her mother.
As they watched the mother and daughter arguing, grandpa and grandma all had smiles on their faces.
After hesitating for a while, Feng Ruoruo said, "Then mom, you walk at home. I'll let grandpa and grandpa accompany me downstairs."
Su Ruoxi added: "Grandpa and grandpa are old, and grandpa has just recovered. How can you let grandpa and grandpa take you?"
Feng Ruoruo pouted her lips again and said very seriously: "Then Ruoruo can go by herself."
As she spoke, the little girl prepared to put on her shoes and go downstairs.
Seeing this, Lu Cuiling couldn't help but smile and pulled her granddaughter: "Okay, okay, mom was joking with Ruoruo. Mom knows that our Ruoruo wants to visit dad to see how the business of dad's restaurant is going. Dad is very hard, right?"
The little girl finally stopped being so tense and nodded, saying, "Yes, grandma, let's go."
Grandma smiled and pointed at her mother, then said to her granddaughter, "Can you talk to your mother?"
Feng Ruoruo turned her head to look at her mother, and finally ran over to beg, "Mom, can we go see Dad?"
Su Ruoxi smiled and looked down at her daughter, gently pinching her daughter's face: "Okay, let's go and see Dad. Actually, Mommy misses Daddy too. I want to know how Daddy's restaurant business is going? Is Daddy working hard?"
Hearing her mother say this, Feng Ruoruo was very happy: "Hehehe, then let's go quickly."
Mom said again: "No, we have to wait for grandpa, grandma and grandpa to come together."
The little girl also went to call her grandfather and grandparents.
The three old men also stood up.
Before grandparents and grandfather walked towards the door, Feng Ruoruo ran there first and helped take everyone's shoes out of the shoe cabinet and placed them outside the door.
Seeing this, grandma, grandpa and grandfather were all happy and praised it.
"Oh, our little baby is so good."
"Ruoruo is really becoming more and more sensible."
"Yes, Ruoruo is so sensible."
Su Ruoxi also had a smile on her face, and her eyes were even full of pride, thinking that her daughter was indeed amazing.
She walked to the door, picked up her daughter and kissed her.
"Well, our little baby Ruoruo is really getting more and more sensible. She knows to get shoes for her grandparents and grandpa. It's great."
Feng Ruoruo got down from her mother's arms: "Mom, let's go quickly."
It was obvious that the little girl didn't care much about her mother's praise and was still eager to go downstairs and go to the restaurant to see her father.
The family packed up, locked the door, and took the elevator downstairs together.
Walking in the community downstairs, it was already night, and I could still faintly hear the sounds of some children playing in the community.
These are children who have finished their homework and are allowed to come out and play.
When we walked to the small square in the community, we were surrounded by a group of children.
Although Feng Ruoruo and her family have moved into the community for some time, Feng Ruoruo is still relatively unfamiliar with the children in the community.
Because most of the time, Feng Ruoruo went to dance class after kindergarten, and then ate and played in her father's restaurant. After Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei came home, she went straight home with her parents to sleep, and rarely played in the community at night.
Now when Feng Ruoruo sees the children in the community surrounding her, she still feels a little bit scared.
Seeing this, Su Ruoxi encouraged her daughter softly: "Ruoruo, you can play with me for a while."
Feng Ruoruo shook her head: "No, I want to go see my dad."
At this time, a little boy ran over and said, "You are not from our community, right? Why haven't I seen you before?"
Feng Ruoruo looked at the little boy and said angrily, "I live here. My family lives in that building."
The little boy added: "Then you must have just moved in."
Feng Ruoruo thought for a moment and said, "We've moved here a long time ago."
The little boy asked: "Then why haven't I seen you much?"
After asking this, the little boy called other children over.
"Look, there's a little girl here, she's new here."
Feng Ruoruo was very unconvinced: "I'm not new here, my family has lived here for a long time, you are the new here."
This shout attracted more children to come and watch.
The children all said that Feng Ruoruo was a newcomer because no one was very familiar with her.
However, some older children said: "She is not new, I have seen her, but she doesn't seem to have played with us, nor has she played in the community."
Feng Ruoruo yelled, "Get out of the way, I want to go find my dad."
The little girl's loud shout also attracted the other children's parents to come over.
The parents all thought that their children were bullying others, or were being bullied by others, so they gathered around.
Su Ruoxi also quickly said: "I'm sorry, our Ruoruo is a little anxious, I didn't mean to be mean to you, then you can play together later."
The parents of other children came over, and they all knew Su Ruoxi.
"Ah, it's Chef Feng's family."
"It's really rare to see you guys in the neighborhood at this time."
"Yes, yes. We can see them during the day, but rarely at night."
"No wonder, it must be because the family business is busy."
…
Facing these parents, Su Ruoxi also greeted them with a smile, and then explained: "It is true that the family business is busy, and Ruoruo has to go to dance class. We used to eat at Ruoruo's father's restaurant before coming back, and it was already very late at that time."
After hearing what Su Ruoxi said, the parents suddenly understood.
No wonder Feng Yifan's family has lived in the community for so long but I have never seen them go out for a stroll at night.
The other mothers began to come over and started chatting with Su Ruoxi.
“You guys really work so hard.”
"Yeah, I have to take care of the kids and run a restaurant."
"But Chef Feng's cooking skills are really amazing."
“I also watched the video online, and the dishes are really beautiful.”
"Yeah, I said that too. I wanted my husband to reserve a seat, but it was impossible to get one."
"Yes, business is so good that we can't even reserve a table."
…
Su Ruoxi had no choice but to respond to the mothers present.
"Oh, that's right. Because we just opened, there are quite a lot of people here. And since this restaurant is a Western-style restaurant, we have to ensure that our ingredients are fresh enough, so we can't stock up a lot of goods at once, and each dish takes a long time to prepare.
We can only open in the evening, and because of the limited ingredients, the cooking time is relatively long, and there are many reservations, so it is difficult to book a table now. "
The mothers of other children present immediately expressed their pity and wanted to go to a restaurant to eat.
"I really want to go to your Ruo restaurant and try the food."
"Yeah, I want to go too."
"A friend of mine has made a reservation and is having dinner at your restaurant tonight."
"Oh, so lucky?"
"Mom Ruoruo, when will your Ruoruo restaurant start taking reservations again?"
…
In response to the parents' concerns, Su Ruoxi said seriously, "It should be soon. When the next batch of ingredients arrives, reservations will be available. In fact, there is no need to worry too much. Isn't it almost National Day? I'm sure many people will make reservations."
Lu Cuiling also stepped forward and said, "Yes, so in fact, you can make reservations after National Day. There may be fewer people then."
Feng Ruoruo became very anxious when she saw her mother and grandmother chatting with others.
The little girl didn't care at all about other children wanting to play with her.
Seeing her mother and grandmother chatting endlessly with other mothers and grandmothers, Feng Ruoruo finally couldn't help herself and reached out to pull her mother and said, "Mom, let's go quickly, we still have to go see Dad."
After hearing what Feng Ruoruo said, Su Ruoxi could only apologize to the other children's parents.
"I'm sorry, children are a little willful."
The other parents also smiled and said they understood.
Lu Cuiling thought of a compromise: "Ruoruo, how about this, you and grandpa and grandpa go first, grandma stays here with mom, mom stays here to talk to them, let grandma and mom talk to them for a while, okay?"
Feng Ruoruo pouted her lips, obviously unhappy.
But after thinking about it, the little girl still felt that it was more urgent to hurry up and see her father.
So Feng Ruoruo nodded and agreed.
Su Jinrong and Feng Jiandong led the little girl out of the community.
Seeing Feng Ruoruo leave like this, some children in the community felt it was very boring.
Su Ruoxi said to the children, "I'm sorry, Ruoruo may not be familiar with you yet. She is still thinking about her father. Her father is very busy today, so she wants to go see him. Let her play with you later when she has time."
Seeing that Su Ruoxi was still explaining to the children, the children's parents all smiled and said that there was no need to be so polite.
However, many of the children in the community said they understood, and they politely waved goodbye to Su Ruoxi before running away to continue playing.
Lu Cuiling still understood her daughter-in-law's intentions.
This is because she hopes her daughter will not be isolated from other children in the community.
Su Ruoxi then went on to chat with other parents of children in the community.
Through chatting, Su Ruoxi mainly wanted to know some of the conditions of the primary school in the community, such as which teacher was better and the current atmosphere of the school.
After all, these children in the community are basically students of that primary school.
The parents did not hide anything from Su Ruoxi and told her everything they knew. Some parents even took the opportunity to exchange information with each other.
For example, which teacher is better
Also, which teachers in the school might be preparing to teach the first grade next
What about the atmosphere of some classes in the school nowadays
It even includes the ages of some teachers in the school, some personal hobbies, etc.
After listening to her daughter-in-law's various inquiries, Lu Cuiling finally understood the purpose of her daughter-in-law staying to chat with these parents.
I want to understand the situation in the school in advance so that it will be better for my daughter to go to school in the future.
At this moment, Lu Cuiling also had some new views on her daughter-in-law.
Lu Cuiling discovered that perhaps because her son was too dazzling, his daughter-in-law’s intelligence and talent were often overshadowed.
Today I saw my daughter-in-law and talked to her, and she got along well with the parents of these children.
Then through chatting and guiding on some topics, let these parents start talking about the situation in the school themselves.
It can be said that Su Ruoxi was not the leader of the conversation, but she brought up the current topic.
Su Ruoxi brought up some of her past school experiences and shared them with these parents.
This sharing also makes parents willing to chat with her and exchange ideas.
Lu Cuiling was on the side, helping her daughter-in-law with a few words, or perhaps she was also chatting about her son's childhood education.
When parents get together, children's education is naturally an eternal topic.
And when it comes to children's education, there are not many barriers between parents.
Of course, Lu Cuiling also knew that if her son came, he might not get along with these parents.
Because Feng Yifan is obviously the laissez-faire type, and he might even indulge his children to release their nature.
Through chatting with these parents, Lu Cuiling found that the parents here were definitely not like her son. Basically, they would arrange a lot of things for their children and require their children to complete certain tasks every day.
Some parents express their views on education very frankly.
"Children, not many of them will study on their own initiative, and parents often have to supervise them."
"You need to communicate more with the teachers and build a good relationship with them so that they can pay more attention to your children."
"Indeed, sometimes we parents really can't take care of everything, so we can only ask the teachers for more help."
"So, it is very important to find a good and responsible teacher for your child.
…
After listening to what these parents said, Lu Cuiling couldn't help but feel that the pressure on the children was a bit too much.
Su Ruoxi would agree with a few words, but she didn't agree with some of them in her heart.
However, while chatting with other children's parents, Su Ruoxi still learned a lot of things she wanted to know.
