From a distance, I saw Feng Jiandong and Feng Yifan standing in front of Su Ji's door, pushing the crowd aside a little.
Lu Xihu and Quan Chengping both knew very well that the father and son were not there to greet them, but to greet Fu Xinman at the door.
Sure enough, after the father and son, Lu Cuiling also came out, and beside Lu Cuiling were her daughter-in-law and little granddaughter.
When Fu Xinman saw Lu Cuiling, the old lady immediately quickened her pace.
Seeing this, Fu Xiaohong hurriedly supported her mother and quickened their pace.
Lu Cuiling came out and took the initiative to greet Fu Xinman.
After many years, the two old men finally met again on the ancient street and hugged each other.
"Aunt Fu, it's been many years since we last met. Are you feeling well?"
Hearing Lu Cuiling's words, Fu Xinman immediately said, "Xiao Lingzi, you haven't come to visit me for so many years. If your son wasn't famous, I don't know how I would be able to find you. You are so cruel."
Lu Cuiling said quickly, "I'm sorry Aunt Fu, you know, Yifan's father and I were out of work at that time, so we had to return to the countryside where Yifan's grandmother lived. We stayed in the countryside for many years afterwards, so I'm sorry to bother you."
Fu Xinman was a little dissatisfied when she heard this: "Xiao Lingzi, this is wrong. You call me Aunt Fu, do you think I will drive you away if you come to my house
And when you two were in trouble, why didn't you come to me?"
Lu Cuiling had no choice but to say, "Aunt Fu, we really don't want to trouble you."
Fu Xinman pretended to be angry and said, "So, you still treat me as an outsider."
Lu Cuiling quickly said, "No, I was raised by you, Aunt Fu. How could I treat you as an outsider? In my eyes, you are my other mother, my dearest aunt."
Fu Xinman laughed immediately: "That's more like it. Actually, I don't blame you. I know you are a strong-willed child. At that time, you didn't have a job, so you definitely wouldn't come to me for help. You wanted to prove your ability."
Lu Cuiling also laughed: "Aunt Fu, you still understand me."
While the two old ladies were chatting, Feng Jiandong, Feng Yifan and his son, as well as Su Ruoxi and Feng Ruoruo, also came over.
Feng Jiandong saw that the two were chatting happily on the street and had no intention of leaving at all.
He could only remind her: "It's not easy for Aunt Fu to come here, let's invite her in, sit down and have a good chat."
Reminded by her husband, Lu Cuiling quickly said, "Yes, Aunt Fu, let's go in."
Fu Xinman looked at Feng Jiandong, then at Feng Yifan, Su Ruoxi and Feng Ruoruo, and said with a smile: "Xiao Lingzi, can you introduce them to me first?"
Lu Cuiling also suddenly understood and quickly introduced it.
Feng Yifan, along with his wife and daughter, also greeted Fu Xinman.
Feng Ruoruo looked at Fu Xinman, and then the little girl exclaimed when she learned that she had to call her "great-grandmother".
"Oh, Ruoruo has so many great-grandfathers, now she finally has a great-grandmother."
Everyone was stunned when they heard the little girl's words.
Then Fu Xinman burst into laughter: "Hahaha, Cuiling, your little granddaughter is so cute. She dares to say anything. She really looks like you when you were a child. As expected, she is your granddaughter. She looks so much like you, her grandmother."
Feng Ruoruo looked at her great-grandmother and heard what she said.
Then she threw herself into her grandmother's arms and hid her little face in them.
Seeing this, Lu Cuiling smiled and said, "What's wrong? Why are you shy? Great-grandmother said that you look like grandma, wouldn't Ruoruo like to look like grandma?"
Feng Ruoruo raised her head from her grandmother's arms and said with a smile, "I like it. Ruoruo likes to be like grandma. That way, Ruoruo can be as powerful as grandma."
Lu Cuiling smiled and said, "You are such a talkative little mouth of yours."
Fu Xinman immediately said, "Isn't this the same as when you were a child? When you were a child, you were also very talkative, and your little mouth could make people laugh to death."
When Lu Cuiling's childhood was exposed, she couldn't help but say, "Ah, Aunt Fu, can you please stop saying that?"
Fu Xinman smiled and said, "Okay, I won't talk about you anymore. Then shall we go in first?"
Lu Cuiling also said immediately: "Yes, let's go in first."
At this point, let alone Lu Xichun, Lu Xihu and Quan Chengping, even Fu Xiaohong who was accompanying Fu Xinman had no chance to speak and was completely left aside.
When everyone surrounded Fu Xinman and walked towards Su Ji, Lu Cuiling also remembered that Fu Xiaohong was there.
"Sister Xiaohong, I'm really sorry. I was so busy chatting with Aunt Fu that I left you aside. Come on, let's go in together and talk after we get in."
Fu Xiaohong also said helplessly: "Alas, there is nothing I can do. Who told me that I am not as precious as my mother?"
Lu Cuiling smiled and said, "Well, we are all grandmothers now, why are you still like this?"
Fu Xinman turned around and said, "That's right, you should learn from your sister Ling. Look at how she becomes a grandmother. You will also be a grandmother soon, so you should be nicer to the children."
Fu Xiaohong could only say, "Okay, I understand, Mom. I will definitely learn from Sister Ling."
In full view of everyone on the ancient street, Feng Yifan's family welcomed Fu Xinman and Fu Xiaohong, mother and daughter, into Su Ji.
No one greeted Lu Xichun, Lu Xihu and Quan Chengping.
After everyone entered Su Ji, Lu Xigu couldn't help but mutter, "Have you forgotten all about us?"
Quan Chengping smiled bitterly and said, "You still expect Xiao Lingzi to welcome us? We'd better go in by ourselves."
Lu Xichun said, "I came at the wrong time."
Lu Xigu quickly comforted him: "Brother, don't say that, maybe they didn't notice us."
Quan Chengping also helped to comfort her: "Yes, don't worry, someone will come back to pick us up soon."
As a result, Quan Chengping's words came true instantly.
Feng Yifan returned from Su Ji and invited his grandfather, uncle and great-uncle to come to Su Ji.
"Grandpa, grandpa, and granduncle, I'm so sorry. I forgot about you just now. I was really busy chatting with my mom and Grandma Fu. Please don't blame me. Let's go in first and talk later if we have anything to say."
Lu Xigu and Quan Chengping also agreed immediately.
Lu Xichun hesitated for a moment and asked, "If I go in, will it make your mother unhappy?"
Feng Yifan looked at his grandfather and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.
There was another pause, and then Feng Yifan said, "Grandpa, let's go in first. We'll talk about anything after we get in."
Lu Xigu also said, "Yes, let's go in first."
Lu Xichun finally followed them in.
Fu Xinman and her daughter, who had entered the house early, had already been welcomed into Su Ji by the elderly couple Feng Jiandong and Lu Cuiling, along with their daughter-in-law and little granddaughter.
Originally, they were going to take the mother and daughter to the second floor, but Fu Xinman said she wanted to see the kitchen.
Lu Cuiling then led them to the back kitchen.
Although she couldn't enter the kitchen, Fu Xinman was still shocked when she stood on the edge and looked at the people busy in the kitchen.
This semi-open kitchen really opened the eyes of Fu Xinman and Fu Xiaohong, mother and daughter.
Looking at the people busy in the kitchen and the various dishes they are meticulously crafting, it is really dazzling.
Fu Xiaohong couldn't help but say, "I only saw photos and videos online before, but I didn't see it so shockingly up close. I never thought that your son's body would be like this, Sister Ling. It's really amazing."
Lu Cuiling smiled and said, "This is his father-in-law's restaurant. It has been passed down for many generations. He just inherited his skills, so it's not as great as you think."
Su Ruoxi smiled and said, "Mom, you're here again, always belittling Yifan in front of others."
Feng Ruoruo was even more unhappy and shouted: "Grandma, Dad is very good, very good."
Fu Xinman was so happy when she heard this: "Hahaha, I didn't expect that you, Xiao Lingzi, are so harsh on your son? Your son is so amazing, but he can't even get a single compliment from you? In fact, your son is already very outstanding."
Lu Cuiling smiled and said, "I'm worried that he might become proud."
Fu Xinman couldn't help laughing, then turned around and saw Feng Yifan leading Lu Xichun, Lu Xihu and Quan Chengping into the door.
After thinking for a while, Fu Xinman whispered to Lu Cuiling: "Xiao Lingzi, I know that your father's visit this time may make you feel bad, and you don't want to see him. In fact, you don't have to worry. If you don't want to meet and talk with him, then don't pay attention to it."
The smile on Lu Cuiling's face finally faded away.
She hesitated for a moment, but still said to Fu Xinman: "Aunt Fu, you know what Yifan did to me when Grandma Yifan passed away."
Fu Xinman nodded: "I know, I know everything, so I stopped hanging out with him later."
Lu Cuiling said in a deep voice: "He really, really broke my heart.
Fu Xinman said: "It's not just you. After he did that, your uncle was also very angry. After you left, your uncle went to scold him."
Lu Cuiling asked: "Is my uncle in good health? Aunt Fu, you are already over 80, so my uncle should be 90 this year, right?"
Fu Xinman nodded and said, "Yes, your uncle is already 92 years old this year, and he is still in good health. I originally wanted him to come with us this time."
Lu Cuiling quickly asked: "Yes, why didn't you ask your uncle to come along?"
Fu Xiaohong leaned in and said, "It's mainly because my health is still okay, but my energy is not as good as before, and I still get carsick, so I haven't been out for a long time."
Perhaps many people would think that since Fu Xiaohong takes her mother’s surname, Fu Xinman and her husband will have a bad relationship.
But in fact, Fu Xinman and her husband have always had a very good relationship.
The reason why Fu Xiaohong took her mother's surname was the result of a discussion between Fu Xinman and her husband.
In Fu Xinman's family, of her six children, the 2nd, 4th, and 6th ones all have her surname, while the 1st, 3rd, and 5th ones have their father's surname.
This is also a very interesting scene in Fu Xinman's home.
After Fu Xinman and the others finished checking the kitchen, they went upstairs with Lu Cuiling.
When Feng Yifan saw his mother and others going upstairs, he also asked the three grandfathers to sit down first.
"Grandpa, uncle, and great uncle, please sit down for a while. For now, don't go upstairs. I'm worried that my mother will be in a bad mood."
Lu Xigu nodded and said, "It's okay, we're just downstairs."
Then they also looked towards the kitchen.
Quan Chengping asked: "Yifan, with the semi-open design of your kitchen, aren't you worried about the smoke?"
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Don't worry, uncle. There are special ventilation equipment in the kitchen, and the ventilation holes are well-preserved, so the fumes can't leave the kitchen at all. I designed several layers of fume extraction to ensure that the fumes will not spread to the front."
After listening to Feng Yifan's introduction, the three old men finally had some understanding.
At this point, I have to admire that Feng Yifan has indeed spent a lot of effort in the decoration and design of the restaurant.
Hearing the praise from the three grandfathers, Feng Yifan smiled and said, "In fact, some of the designs of the restaurant were done by my wife. She is very good at design. I even told her that she could learn this in the future."
Lu Xigu said, "Really? So Ruoruo's mother also knows how to design?"
Quan Chengping said, "How about this, we'll ask her to design a painting specifically for your restaurant promotion, and then we'll promote it based on that painting."
Feng Yifan smiled and waved his hands: "Not good, right? She is just doing it as a hobby."
Quan Chengping said seriously, "Don't underestimate this hobby. Maybe in the future your family will have a designer, and she can design every aspect of your restaurant. By then, she will have something to do, and she will naturally be happier."
Feng Yifan thought that what his great uncle said made sense, but on second thought he decided not to bring it up for the time being.
"Uncle, let's not talk about this for now, because Ruoxi is pregnant now."
Quan Chengping said: "Oh, then don't let her get in touch with these."
Lu Xigu smiled and said, "Sure, Yifan will be a father again soon."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "During this period, I still have to take good care of her. Nothing can go wrong. Everything will have to wait until three months have passed."
Quan Chengping said, "This is a good idea. You, Youfan, take good care of her. Ruoruo's mother will be fine. By then, your two grandfathers and I will wait until the baby is one month old. Don't forget it then."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't forget it."
Seeing that time passed by little by little, Feng Yifan asked his father to help greet the elders, while he went back to the kitchen.
Seeing Feng Yifan busy in the kitchen, the three grandfathers felt that Feng Yifan was the best cook they had ever seen.
Feng Jiandong then led the three elderly people upstairs.
The two groups met upstairs, but they both tacitly avoided each other and had no intention of talking to each other.
