Lu Zhanlin's eyes were deep, and his voice was deep, "It looks good."
Chu Yue looked into his eyes and raised her red lips, "Is the clothes prettier, or am I prettier?"
"Of course you are good-looking." Captain Lu answered without hesitation.
This scene pleased Chu Yue. She looked behind Lu Zhanlin and, while Lu Yuanbao had not yet changed his clothes and came out, she immediately stood on tiptoe and kissed the corner of Lu Zhanlin's mouth.
She was happy and rewarded him.
The young couple had just had a secret affair when the sound of Lu Yuanbao's footsteps was heard, and Chu Yue passed by Lu Zhanlin with a sweet fragrance.
He had no time to come back to his senses and could only follow Chu Yue's figure with his dark eyes.
It was the first time for Lu Yuanbao to wear overalls. He didn’t know how to tie the two straps, so they hung loosely. He looked up at Chu Yue in embarrassment.
Chu Yue leaned over, pulled up the straps of the overalls and put them on Lu Yuanbao's shoulders, adjusting the length. "This is the right way to wear it. Have you learned it?"
"Yes."
Lu Yuanbao looked at it carefully, nodded seriously, and touched the belt curiously. It was really a magical piece of clothing.
That day, Chu Yue was anxious to get down the mountain. She didn't waste time at home. She rode her shiny and handsome bicycle, took Lu Yuanbao with her, and set off in a hurry. She passed by the sisters-in-law who were waiting for the bus not far from the compound.
"Look, look... That's Miss Chu. She's riding her bicycle down the mountain again, and she's bringing her child with her. It's great to have a bicycle. You can go down the mountain whenever you want and go wherever you want. We can't just take the crowded and slow bus."
"Li Dahua, if you are so envious, why don't you buy a bicycle? I heard a long time ago that you have a bicycle ticket hidden but never spent it. Are you reluctant to spend the money on a bicycle? Or have you not learned how to ride a bicycle?"
"I think even if you were given a bicycle, you might not be able to ride it up and down the mountain. Going down the mountain is easy, but coming back is uphill. Can you ride it? Li Dahua, don't be envious. With your thin legs, don't you have the strength?"
"I don't have that strength, how come Miss Chu has it? I think her legs are thinner than mine. Captain Lu feeds her with all kinds of food and fish, but she doesn't grow any weight. It's such a waste of fat."
"Are you still eyeing the fat meat in someone else's house? Besides, does Miss Chu need to show you whether she has gained any weight? Maybe it has grown somewhere else, and Captain Lu is the only one who saw it!"
The sisters-in-law chatted with each other, talking about everything from bicycles to fat meat. They drove very fast and stepped on the accelerator to get on the highway, which caught people off guard and made the sisters-in-law who were listening around them laugh. Who doesn't like to listen to some dirty jokes?
When everyone was happy, Fang Xiuli's face became more and more ugly. She didn't say anything, but just snorted unconvincedly, as if she felt sick just hearing the name Chu Yue. As for the private matters between husband and wife, she felt it was even more disgusting.
Over the past few days, the sisters-in-law also realized that Fang Xiuli and Chu Yue did not get along well, and their relationship was of the kind where it was either you or me.
When the sisters-in-law heard Fang Xiuli's cold snort, they immediately stopped laughing, touched their mouths awkwardly, and immediately changed the subject.
"Where is Chen Fengying? Why hasn't Chen Fengying come yet? She is the one who loves to gossip the most on weekdays, so why didn't we hear her loud voice today?" The sisters-in-law looked around, but they really didn't see Chen Fengying.
Someone turned around to look at the exit of the compound and shouted hurriedly, "Chen Fengying is coming! Look, she's there!"
This time when going to the city, Chen Fengying was not in a hurry as usual. Instead, she walked slowly at the back with Xia Xiaolan, not in a hurry at all.
Li Dahua called out to her, "Chen Fengying, why are you walking so slowly today? Don't you want to get on the bus first and grab a seat?"
"Don't fight for it. I'll let you do it." Chen Fengying waved her hands, not caring at all and couldn't stop smiling.
My sister-in-law teased, "Oh! The sun is rising from the west, and there is no time when you, Chen Fengying, don't fight for a seat?"
Chen Fengying raised her chin and said, "I'm going to a nice place today. I'm in a good mood, so I'll give you my seat and I'll just stand."
"A good place?" Li Dahua asked curiously, "What kind of a good place? Is there free food or free drinks, or can we watch a movie?"
Chen Fengying deliberately kept it a secret, "You are curious, if you are curious, then follow me and you will find out."
Li Dahua wanted to ask more, but another sister-in-law beat her to the punch and teased, "Do you really believe Chen Fengying's lies? Didn't Xia Xiaolan ask you to go to the newly opened cake shop together? We already knew that the shop sells cream cakes, cream cakes from Shanghai!"
"There is such a thing? Why haven't I heard about it?"
"I've heard about it a long time ago. It's been rumored for about ten days. Chen Fengying, if you can go, we can go too. You don't need a guide."
Chen Fengying was not in a hurry, still with a mysterious look on her face, and slowly waved her hand, "A place that you all know about, is it still a good place? It's not a cream cake shop, it's a better place."
"Then tell me..."
"The time has not come yet. I cannot tell you. I must keep it a secret!" Chen Fengying was still deliberately keeping the secret, which was completely different from her usual impetuous personality and left her sisters-in-law dumbfounded.
Fortunately, the bus arrived soon and the sisters-in-law were busy getting on the bus and stopped questioning Chen Fengying.
…
In the city, in the shops.
Ye Zhaodi came to open the shop early in the morning and cleaned the shop inside and out. The soy sauce bottles on the shelves were spotless and shiny.
Chu Yue walked over and snatched the rag from Ye Zhaodi's hand, "Zhaodi, stop working, it's already clean enough, come out and watch the fun."
"Sister Yue, I'm almost there... I'll put the rag away. It doesn't look good on the counter."
Ye Zhaodi hurriedly put the rag away before walking out with Chu Yue.
When Lu Yuanbao heard the footsteps, he turned around to look at Chu Yue and Ye Zhaodi. His eyes were shining and he was obviously very excited.
Chu Yue touched his head and stood beside him, then the three of them looked towards one end of the street, which was the intersection, which was crowded with people at this moment.
The newly renovated cream cake shop even imitates the decoration style of Café de Coral in Shanghai. It is a standard European style, a prosperity that many people have never seen in their lives.
There are also large pieces of glass, so you can see the exhibits inside the store without having to enter. The exquisite and beautiful little cakes are clearly visible, which can arouse the appetite of every passerby.
In addition, there are several small European-style tables in the cake shop, decorated with roses. I heard that they also sell coffee, so you can eat cream cake while drinking coffee, which is a true British aristocratic experience.
All this undoubtedly broadened the horizons of the city dwellers.
Chu Yue originally wanted to go over and take a look, but there were too many people, three layers inside and three layers outside. I'm afraid people from the five nearby streets had come out just to take a look at what the legendary "cream cake" looked like.
Chu Yue doesn't mind having too many people. The more people there are, the more customers she can bring to her.
It’s just that everyone’s attention is still on the cake shop right now. Once the novelty wears off, they’ll be able to discover her grocery store.
Chu Yue quickly pulled Ye Zhaodi out because she heard some noise coming from the other end of the street and knew it was almost time.
She reminded Lu Yuanbao, "Yuanbao, cover your ears quickly."
Lu Yuanbao still remembers the sound of firecrackers when he was selling popcorn at the market. The sound was so loud that he had to cover his ears tightly.
Is this going to be another explosion?
Lu Yuanbao immediately covered his ears with his hands.
Then, the noise continued to come.
It was really setting off firecrackers, but this time it was not the same kind of firecrackers as those others. Instead, it was – setting off firecrackers.
Crackling, crackling, the sound was deafening and the smell of gunpowder spread throughout the street.
At the entrance of the cake shop, two long red firecrackers were set off. After being ignited by sparks, the firecrackers not only made a noise, but also red fragments kept flying, which was a good omen for opening the business.
The Pei family was wealthy and their firecrackers were extraordinary. The sound of firecrackers lasted for five minutes before it stopped.
During this time, there was a lot of noise and clamor from the crowd.
"Wow! The sound of the firecrackers is so loud that it almost numbs my ears. The Chinese New Year has never been so lively before."
"Don't you see whose cake shop this is? It's the Pei family! It only lasted five minutes, it's nothing. On New Year's Eve, the biggest and most beautiful fireworks are set off by the Pei family, they are really beautiful."
"Look, Miss Pei is here! It's really Miss Pei! And Young Master Pei!"
The onlookers were talking loudly at the top of their lungs, excited and noisy, and all pairs of excited eyes were looking at the two people who walked out of the cake shop.
It was Pei Mingzhu and Pei Hanchuan.
Pei Mingzhu wore an elegant cheongsam, paired with a beautiful pearl necklace and earrings, she looked absolutely stunning.
Pei Hanchuan's suave face had a subtle expression at this moment, and he complained to Pei Mingzhu, "I run a foreign cake shop, why do I have to do this kind of dead link? It's neither Western nor Chinese, it's neither fish nor fowl."
Pei Mingzhu glanced at him and reminded him in a low voice, "Hanchuan, don't talk nonsense."
What is foreigner or not? Is that something that can be said in this kind of situation?
Pei Hanchuan said hurriedly, "Sister, I understand. You should be careful with what you say and do outside. I am not telling you this in private."
The moment the two stepped out of the cake shop and faced the crowd, Pei Hanchuan put away the cynicism on his face, and his expression immediately became serious, even with a hint of uprightness and coldness.
Pei Hanchuan and Pei Mingzhu stood on each side, with the sign hanging on the main entrance of the shop between them. The sign was covered with red satin, which fell from both ends and was held in the hands of the two men.
The cake shop manager shouted, "Please invite the two bosses to unveil the plaque——"
Pei Hanchuan and Pei Mingzhu pulled the red cloth together, and the silk fell off, revealing a big sign with the three words "Caesar"!
