After visiting the second floor of the restaurant, Fu Xinman was even more full of praise for Su Ji's design, especially the four-season theme design on the second floor, which really made people feel very comfortable.
"Xiao Lingzi, the design of this restaurant by your son is really great. These four private rooms present the scenery of the four seasons respectively. The paintings on the walls make people feel very comfortable. Eating here really makes people feel happy."
Lu Cuiling smiled and said, "Aunt Fu, I've already said that these were actually designed by my daughter-in-law."
Having said this, Lu Cuiling had already pulled her daughter-in-law out.
Su Ruoxi was pulled out and quickly said modestly: "No, I just gave some concepts. The real design was done by the decoration company. I have to thank Grandma Feifei for this."
Feng Ruoruo immediately poked her head out and said, "Great grandma, Feifei's grandma, is the grandma of Ruoruo's good friend Chen Yaofei."
Hearing Feng Ruoruo's words, everyone burst into laughter.
Fu Xiaohong bent down and asked the little girl, "Then was Feifei's grandmother introduced to mom and dad by Ruoruo?"
Feng Ruoruo looked at the relatively unfamiliar aunt in front of her and for a moment she really didn't know how to answer.
But the little girl paused for a moment and thought for a moment, then immediately said, "Feifei, Xixi and I met in kindergarten, and we three were good friends. Later, mom and dad got to know Feifei's grandparents, and Xixi's parents.
Later they became good friends. Last time when Feifei’s parents came back, she also became good friends with them.”
Everyone was really amused by hearing the little girl's clear and logical words.
Then the entire second floor was filled with the women's joyful laughter.
After Fu Xinman smiled, she gently touched the little girl and said, "Then Ruoruo, can you call your good friend up so that your great-grandmother can meet him?"
Feng Ruoruo immediately nodded and agreed: "Okay, okay, I'll go and call."
The little girl turned around and ran downstairs.
Then a group of people saw it and quickly reminded: "Slow down, there is no rush, go slowly, and be careful when going downstairs, don't fall."
Feng Ruoruo was still very calm. She quickly ran downstairs, found Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei, and called her two good friends upstairs together. She also called her two good friends' grandparents and parents upstairs as well.
"Come quickly, my great-grandmother is in front."
Feng Ruoruo brought her two good friends to Fu Xinman and introduced them to her great-grandmother very generously.
"Great-grandmother, this is my good friend Yang Xiaoxi, and this is my good friend Chen Yaofei."
Fu Xinman looked at the three little girls, and only then did she realize that they were wearing the same clothes, which looked like work clothes.
"Hello, your three clothes are so beautiful. Who made them for you?"
The three little girls smiled and answered in unison: "Grandma (Grandma Lu) made it for us."
Fu Xinman looked at Lu Cuiling and said, "You are still so skillful. You can make such beautiful clothes for children."
Lu Cuiling said: "In fact, the three of them like to play in the kitchen, and there will always be a lot of oil stains on their clothes. I used the curtains and tablecloths from Su Ji to make these clothes for the three of them, so that they can run around and play freely."
Fu Xiaohong smiled and said, "Sister Ling, you made this dress really well."
Then, Su Ruoxi introduced Chen Yaofei's grandparents and Yang Xiaoxi's parents to Fu Xinman.
Fu Xinman shook hands with Chen Yaofei's grandmother and said, "Thank you so much for helping Su Ji find such a good decoration company that was able to design such a beautiful private room."
Li Xiuchun smiled and responded: "You are welcome, old man. We should thank Cuiling, Yifan and Ruoxi and their family. My son and daughter-in-law are working abroad and cannot accompany our daughter well. Feifei used to be more introverted.
But since I met Ruoruo and he often comes to Su Ji to play, his personality has become much more cheerful. We really should thank them. "
Fu Xinman smiled and said, "My distant relative came here today and finally understood that my niece, Lu Cuiling, really raised such a good son. This family is really great. Seeing this, I can rest assured."
Lu Cuiling stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Fu, we are all living well now. You can see that my son and daughter-in-law are filial, and my granddaughter is also very lovely."
At this point, Lu Cuiling pointed at her daughter-in-law and said, "And now, my daughter-in-law is pregnant again. It won't be long before our family has a new baby."
Fu Xinman said excitedly, "Okay, that's great. Be sure to notify me when the time comes. I'll also ask Xiaohong to come with me."
Fu Xiaohong also said: "Yes, yes, you must notify us when the time comes. Next time I will ask my husband to bring our whole family and my dad along to give Sister Ling your new little one our family's blessings."
Lu Cuiling smiled and said, "Okay, you must all come then, all come."
Unlike the joyful atmosphere here, the other side is more serious.
However, Lu Xichun still praised the decoration of the second floor of Su Ji.
"Yifan, your restaurant really has a unique flavor. You have truly integrated our traditional culture into your restaurant. It really complements the dishes in your restaurant. It has more connotation than those Western dishes that simply pursue beautiful appearances."
Feng Yifan smiled and responded: "Thank you for the compliment, Grandpa. Actually, the design ideas here were designed by my wife. I just gave a little advice at most."
Lu Xichun was a little surprised: "Oh? It seems that Yifan, you married a very good wife."
Speaking of this, the old man couldn't help but think of his wife.
"Alas, your grandma was such a very good wife and a good mother. It's a pity that it took me so many years to finally understand that she was so good, and she was really a bastard who was taken care of too well by her."
Lu Xigu quickly said, "Brother, don't say that."
Quan Chengping also said: "Although you made a big mistake in your family issues, you have worked diligently over the years and have done a good job. We will slowly solve the family issues. Don't worry, we will still persuade Xiao Lingzi."
Lu Xichun waved his hand: "No need, some mistakes should be borne by me myself."
Feng Jiandong also said when he heard this: "Father-in-law, I actually never thought that you would come to me and admit your mistakes. What happened back then really hurt us a lot, so I have been thinking a lot these days.
I tried to convince myself and think of ways to help persuade Cuiling, but in the end I still couldn't convince myself, because Cuiling's heart was indeed broken by you back then."
Lu Xihe and Quan Chengping did not expect that Feng Jiandong had actually given up on his own initiative.
Lu Xigu said quickly: "Jiandong, don't say these things first, let's continue to think of a solution together. Besides, your father-in-law has already shown his sincerity, and he knows he is wrong."
Seeing that his father was still in a dilemma, Feng Yifan also stood up and said, "Three grandfathers, many things that were done wrong cannot be undone by just an apology or two. My mother was really heartbroken back then because she was kicked out at my grandmother's funeral."
Having said this, the three old men fell silent, or rather, they had nothing to say.
What Lu Xichun did back then was extremely excessive.
At the funeral, they drove away Lu Cuiling and Feng Jiandong and his wife, and directly declared that they had severed ties with Lu Cuiling.
Now, I want to make amends and redeem myself.
It was just as Feng Yifan said, it was already too late.
Feng Yifan continued, "Grandfathers, the mistake has been made, and today's situation has already happened. For now, we should not try to reverse it. Let everything take its course. I believe that maybe one day, my mother will understand and be willing to forgive that incident.
Even if my mother can’t figure it out, I hope the three grandfathers can understand that she is the one who is suffering more.”
Lu Xihu and Quan Chengping originally wanted to say something.
But he was stopped by Lu Xichun.
"Okay, let's do as Jiandong and Yifan said. We are here today to congratulate Yifan's father-in-law on the opening of his restaurant. We are here to congratulate him. We will talk about other things later. Cousin, Xigua, please help promote your magazine later."
Lu Xigu said: "Brother, we don't need to promote it. Su Ji is already very famous now, and Yifan is also very famous."
Quan Chengping also said: "Yes, if our magazine wants to have Yifan on the show, we have to specially invite him."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Grandpa, Grandpa, please stop flattering me here. If you need me, I can always participate in your magazine interviews, but I definitely can't do it during the National Day holiday. As you can see, there are too many guests."
When he mentioned that there were too many customers, Lu Xichun immediately said, "By the way, isn't it almost business time? Let's go downstairs and let Yifan prepare well."
Feng Yifan stopped everyone and said, "You don't have to go downstairs, just sit down on the second floor. Today, two of the private rooms on the second floor are reserved for the public, and the other two are reserved for you. Dad, you sit with grandpa and the others first, I'll go down and take a look."
Feng Jiandong agreed: "Okay, go ahead."
Feng Yifan said goodbye to everyone and left the private room where the grandfathers were.
As soon as I went out, I saw Feng Ruoruo, Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei running towards me.
"Dad, Dad, please come downstairs quickly. Grandma asked me to ask you to go downstairs to prepare for business. Don't always accompany irrelevant people."
"Dad Feng, it's almost time to open. Let's go downstairs."
"Dad Feng, should we continue to help you entertain guests?"
When Feng Yifan heard his daughter say "irrelevant people", he was really at a loss whether to laugh or cry, knowing that her mother must have taught her that.
Feng Yifan bent down again and taught his daughter again: "Ruoruo, the people inside belong to the three great-grandfathers. Ruoruo can't say they are irrelevant."
Feng Ruoruo was quite obedient and agreed: "Okay, Ruoruo won't tell me."
Feng Yifan touched his daughter's head and said, "Very good, let's go downstairs and prepare for business."
The three little girls immediately cheered happily: "Let's go, it's open for business."
Feng Yifan led his three daughters downstairs and passed by the room where their mother and others were. They felt that this place was obviously much more lively than their father's place because there were so many people.
But he still stopped at the door and called his wife out.
"Two private rooms will be reserved for later. Please arrange to separate the men and women so that Mom won't have to sit at the same table with Grandpa. Then let Dad greet Grandpa and the other men over there. The other two private rooms have been booked. I'll ask my eldest brother-in-law to come upstairs and greet them later."
Su Ruoxi agreed: "Okay, I understand, this arrangement is good."
Then, Su Ruoxi asked again: "By the way, are there any other guests?"
Feng Yifan thought for a moment and said, "There are also my aunt and uncle, and my father's former senior brothers. Oh, and the dealer. If there is not enough room for the men, give them some seats. Two private rooms should be enough."
Su Ruoxi thought for a while and said, "If it really doesn't work, I'll let Feifei's grandparents and Xixi's parents sit with me and my mother, and then my aunt and uncle will sit here as well. This way, I should be able to coordinate, and I'll let my dad go there too."
Feng Yifan thought about it and felt that this arrangement was indeed much better.
"Okay, let's arrange it this way. Thank you for your hard work, my wife."
Su Ruoxi pushed her husband and said, "It's okay, go downstairs quickly to prepare. Remember to let the guests who have booked the private rooms go upstairs first, so as not to mess things up."
Feng Yifan agreed: "I know."
Feng Ruoruo followed up with, "I know."
Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei also said: "We know that too."
Su Ruoxi saw her daughters and the others were all around and said with a smile, "Okay, then you three must help your father Feng and entertain the guests well."
Feng Ruoruo, Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei immediately agreed: "Okay."
Feng Yifan then led the three little girls downstairs.
Su Ruoxi also looked smiling, then returned to the private room and told her mother-in-law about the arrangements.
Lu Cuiling was even more straightforward: "Then we will just sit here, no need to adjust. Let you and Yifan's father go over there, and your aunt and uncle should go over there too. Aren't there old neighbors like Wanhua, Chaodong and Cuifeng here?"
Su Ruoxi thought about it and felt that this arrangement was indeed feasible.
Over there were Su Ruoxi's father and his fellow apprentices, as well as Feng Yifan's father and grandfather. They were basically all men and could talk freely.
Feng Yifan led the three little girls downstairs. It was already five o'clock in the afternoon.
After taking a look at the guests waiting outside the door, Feng Yifan led the three little girls into the kitchen.
"Okay, is everyone ready? We are about to face a big battle."
Everyone in the kitchen instantly became alert and their expressions became serious.
"It's ready, chef."
Feng Yifan nodded and said, "Okay, then let's move on to the final preparations, and then we'll start serving dinner on time at six o'clock."
Feng Ruoruo, Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei heard this and shouted in unison: "Open for business."
The words of the three little girls instantly made the tense atmosphere disappear.
Then everyone couldn't help laughing, and laughter echoed in Su Ji, and everyone started to get busy amid the laughter.
