Chapter 14 Fourteen Scallion Pancakes

Shopping, eating, drinking and singing.

After Chen Yun finished her trip, she called for a "designated driver".

Song Fenglin scanned the shared bicycle to "accept the order".

Before he reached the entrance of KVT, he saw a familiar figure and slowly stopped.

Chen Yun was choosing skewers at a roadside stall when she vaguely sensed someone approaching. Thinking it was another customer, she took a few small steps to the right to make room for the other person.

Song Fenglin didn't move, just waiting for her to discover it herself.

Unfortunately, Chen Yun was too obsessed with the midnight snack. After picking out what she wanted to eat, she handed the cup in her hand to the boss: "I want this to be slightly spicy and with less soup."

Then pick up the second cup.

Song Fenglin thought it was his turn, so he reminded him, "I'll eat kelp."

Chen Yun was so scared that her hands trembled: "Why didn't you say anything when you came?"

It was just because I made a sound that scared her like this.

Song Fenglin felt that this was a problem that could not be solved at the same time, so he used the best method: "I will pay attention next time."

Chen Yun twisted her hips to the left and said, "The keys are in the bag. Go and drive the car over here. I don't want to go over there."

Just by looking at this, you can tell that he drank a lot at night.

Song Fenglin took the key and said, "Okay, don't run around, wait for me here."

I know, I know. Chen Yun nodded randomly and stared at the pancake seller next to him.

On the way home from kindergarten, I would pass by three or five such stalls.

On the rare occasions when Song Fenglin picked up the children from school, he would stop to buy things under their gazes.

He murmured, "Now it looks like you."

Chen Yun didn't hear what he said at all, and said to the pancake uncle: "Boss, can you put more thin crisps? I'll pay more."

Well, Song Fenglin couldn't help it and flicked her on the back of the head with his finger.

Chen Yun turned around and glared at him: "Domestic violence, I will sue you right away."

Song Fenglin pinched her face again and pushed her onto the bicycle: "I'll pay the fine."

Today was the day he gave out bonuses, but Chen Yun was so busy that she almost forgot about it.

She thought that she was very generous and said in a low voice: "Please walk slowly~"

It was just a few steps in total, but she felt like "the emperor has returned to the palace."

Song Fenglin just felt like laughing.

He found a gap in the parking area and squeezed his car in, then dropped his two-wheeler and started looking for the four-wheeler.

There is only one car in the family, a seven-seater Volvo, and the front of the car is more protruding than the others.

Song Fenglin found it without even pressing the key. After getting in the car, he adjusted the seat to a width that suited him before turning the steering wheel.

Chen Yun was walking along the roadside with some midnight snacks in hand, looking around. When she saw a car, she waved.

After getting in the car, she said, "Let's eat downstairs later and then go home."

Song Fenglin: "Okay."

Even if he didn't ask why, Chen Yun had to say, "Mom wanted to make soup for you tonight, but I said I wouldn't give you a midnight snack."

If I bring back junk food, I will be scolded at least thirty times.

The elders’ intentions were certainly good, but Song Fenglin really didn’t like drinking those soupy things.

He said, "After working overtime, I just want to drink an iced Coke."

Chen Yun: "Then I'll go to the convenience store to buy it. You park the car and come to the slide to meet up."

The midnight snack tasted like an underground gang meeting. The couple destroyed all the evidence and wiped their mouths clean before going upstairs.

Liu Yingxia slept with the two children and got up quietly when she heard the door open.

She walked to the living room and put on her shoes while explaining: "Xingxing wanted to eat lychees tonight, but I didn't let her. I said I would give it to her tomorrow morning. Don't forget."

Chen Yun: "Okay, tell me when you get home."

There are two buildings between us and we don’t even have to leave the community gate, so what could happen?

Liu Yingxia: "You are the only one worrying about nothing."

Chen Yun: "Who told you to have me as your daughter?"

How can we call it a stall? Liu Yingxia: "Then we are lucky."

She usually takes her grandson to play in the community, and the people she meets are people of the same age who are here to help the next generation. They get together and chat, and she feels that she is enjoying the best of everything.

People are all a bit vain in nature.

She shows off every other day, which makes people feel annoyed.

On the way back home, Liu Yingxia met a neighbor who was walking her dog. The neighbor said mysteriously, "Grandma Yangyang, I just saw your son and daughter-in-law. I don't know what delicious food they were eating on the slide. It smelled delicious."

What she meant was that someone was eating secretly without telling you. If you caught a difficult mother-in-law, she would definitely be unhappy.

But the girl is her biological daughter. Just by touching her nose, Liu Yingxia knew what she was planning. She guessed correctly: "They are my daughter and son-in-law. They must have ordered takeout and didn't dare let me know. They ate in seclusion."

The neighbor was surprised: "Oh, you are looking for a son-in-law."

Generally speaking, it is somewhat rude to talk about marrying a daughter-in-law in front of others.

Liu Yingxia was unhappy in her heart, but she said, "We don't have the ability to do that. The house we live in was bought by my son-in-law. They have a good relationship and are willing to let the child take the mother's surname."

In Ningjiang, many of the only daughters of relocated households are seeking a son-in-law, and they have to negotiate with the man who married them if the child is to have the mother's surname, and then give them a house, a car, and some money.

The neighbor was skeptical, but still said, "Then you are very lucky."

Of course I am blessed. Liu Yingxia said modestly: "We don't really care about these things. It was my son-in-law who suggested it himself."

As usual, she was very proud of herself and even woke her husband up to show off again when she got home.

Chen Yongzhong had just delivered a takeaway and just touched the pillow, so he was forced to open his eyes: "What kind of dog were you walking?"

Liu Yingxia: "It looks a bit like the one raised by Grandma Cherry."

Chen Yongzhong: "Border Collie, this dog is very smart."

He thinks about the dog every day. Liu Yingxia said, "Don't take back this nice house."

Chen Yongzhong: "If you train well, you won't pee or poop randomly."

Forget it, Liu Yingxia: "Go to sleep."

She has the final say on everything, and Chen Yongzhong turned over with a grunt.

When they were young, the family of three depended on her husband for support. Liu Yingxia was short-tempered and weak, and unconsciously followed his wishes in everything.

It’s different now. She said, “The mattress is free, be gentle.”

Chen Yongzhong refused and pulled the quilt again.

Liu Yingxia didn't want to argue with him. She thought of sending a voice message to her daughter to let her know she was safe: "I can eat takeout but not soup. Be careful or I'll beat you up."

Chen Yun had just come out of the shower and was drying her hair when she pressed the button.

The couple heard it together. Song Fenglin asked: "How did mom know?"

Chen Yun: "Do you know what the power of the masses is? Someone must have seen it just now."

The mother-in-law really has many informants. Song Fenglin: "I will be scolded tomorrow."

He is the darling of this family, and even a knife cannot cut his skin.

Chen Yun threw her phone away: "Only me."

No matter what, a son-in-law and a daughter are different.

Song Fenglin: "Is helping you blow dry your hair considered comforting?"

With his bold and unrestrained style, Chen Yun was afraid that her hair would be damaged.

She said: "Your understanding is wrong, it is murder."

Song Fenglin felt that he was quite cautious, so after being rejected, he went into the bathroom holding his clothes.

When he came out, Chen Yun was already lying in bed.

She drank alcohol today, her temperature was higher than usual, and her eyelids were particularly heavy.

Song Fenglin raised his hand to touch her face and turned off the bedside light.

Chen Yun knew nothing.

In addition to giving her a good sleep, alcohol also made her feel listless the next day.

Song Fenglin looked at her depressed face and asked: "Sleep again?"

Chen Yun drank some water weakly: "Xiaoxiao has a day off today."

Song Fenglin knew that she would not refuse to open the door unless there was something special, so he said, "Then take a nap when you have time."

Chen Yun agreed and went out to work.

When she arrived at the store, she first turned on the coffee machine to preheat it, then mopped the floor and wiped the table, watered the money tree, and took out the cream and butter from the refrigerator and put them aside to cool down.

While waiting, she took inventory of the inventory of various materials and settled yesterday's accounts, and only then was everything ready for business.

As soon as the machine is turned on, takeout orders start to come out.

Chen Yun always called it the Golden Toad, and every time it rang, she would say, "It's spitting out gold coins."

But in fact, the platform charges a lot of handling fees and requires the store to hold activities every few days. Sometimes the store will lose a lot of money on a single order.

For a store like theirs, making money still depends on dine-in customers, and half of their sales are desserts.

When Chen Yun first opened the business, she didn't know that just selling coffee would be such a bleak business.

Later, she learned everything on her own and was able to keep the store going until today.

The income is just not much. In comparison, it is only slightly higher than her father's current part-time job.

Chen Yongzhong is a strong-willed man. Ever since he started earning some money, he has refused to let his daughter give him living expenses.

He didn't have much to spend himself, so any spare money in his pocket was given to his children.

When Chen Yun was in school, she would often run to the fence during breaks to get the snacks her father bought for her.

Even as he grew older, he still showed up with something from time to time.

At 11:30 am, Chen Yongzhong, fully armed and in uniform, pushed open the door of the coffee shop and said, "Hey, do you know which is the nearest internet-famous store in Ningjiang?"

Chen Yun had a dismal revenue in the morning: "I hope it's our store."

Although Chen Yongzhong also wanted to give his daughter more confidence, unfortunately the reality did not go as he wished.

He said, "Look at you, you don't understand fashion as well as I do."

Chen Yun laughed out loud: "That's right, my dad knows everything."

Chen Yongzhong was very proud, but he was puzzled: "You said it's just a scallion pancake, but you still limit the purchase. What's the point?"

Chen Yun: "So that everyone can eat it."

I don’t know whether others will eat them or not, but Chen Yongzhong bought ten anyway.

He said, "You eat two, and I'll take three more for Feng Lin."

Coming and going like a gust of wind, Chen Yun didn't even have time to make him a cup of tea. She could only shout from behind: "Ride slower and don't run a red light."

Chen Yongzhong left at lightning speed, which moved Song Fenglin.

All the care he had never felt from people related to him by blood was made up for after marriage.

Before he could even say a few words of thanks, his father-in-law left behind only the exhaust fumes.

Song Fenglin took a bite of the cake and turned to look his colleague in the eye.

A colleague greeted him: "Mr. Song, are you getting takeout?"

Song Fenglin: "No, that's my dad, bringing me lunch."

With such a wealthy son, he is still delivering food in such hot weather. His colleagues secretly sigh in their hearts: I am so lazy, no wonder I can't make money.
