Chapter 203 She is happy and rewards him
Lu Zhanlin's eyes were deep, and his voice was deep, "It looks good."
Chu Yue looked into his eyes, her red lips raised, "Is the dress prettier, or am I prettier?"
"Of course you look good." Captain Lu answered without hesitation.
This scene pleased Chu Yue. She looked behind Lu Zhanlin, and while Lu Yuanbao had not changed his clothes yet, 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 could be 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 Lu Yuanbao's first time wearing 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 placed 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 go down the mountain. She didn't waste any time at home. She rode her shiny and handsome bicycle, took Lu Yuanbao with her, and hit the road 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 bike down the mountain again, and she's bringing her child with her. It's so great to have a bike. You can go down the mountain whenever you want and go wherever you want. Unlike us, we can only take the crowded and slow bus."
"Li Dahua, if you're so envious, why don't you buy a bicycle? I've heard for a long time that you've been hiding a bicycle ticket and haven't spent it. Are you reluctant to spend the money on a bicycle? Or haven't you learned how to ride a bicycle yet?"
"I think even if you were given a bicycle, you wouldn't be able to ride it up and down the mountain. Going down is easy, but coming back is uphill. Can you ride it? Li Dahua, don't be envious. You don't have the strength in your thin legs."
"I don't have that kind of strength, so 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 seem to gain any weight. It's such a waste of fat."
"Are you still coveting the fat in someone else's house? Besides, is Miss Chu supposed to show you if she's gained weight? Maybe she's grown someplace 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 in dissatisfaction, as if she felt disgusted when she heard 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, and their relationship was one of 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 really didn't see Chen Fengying.
Someone turned around to look at the exit of the compound and hurriedly shouted, "Chen Fengying is here! Look, she's over 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 hand, not caring at all, and couldn't stop smiling.
My sister-in-law teased, "Oh! The sun is rising from the west, and you, Chen Fengying, don't grab 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 drinks, or can we watch a movie?"
Chen Fengying deliberately kept it a secret, "You guys are curious, if you are, 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's this 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 now. Chen Fengying, if you can go, we can go too. No need for a guide."
Chen Fengying remained calm and composed, still looking mysterious. She waved her hand slowly, "A place you all know about, is it still a good place? It's not a cream cake shop, it's a much better place."
"Then you tell me..."
"The time has not come yet, I can't tell you, I have to keep it a secret!" Chen Fengying was still deliberately keeping it a secret, which was completely different from her usual impetuous personality, leaving 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 it 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, it's 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 footsteps, he turned around and looked 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, where there were crowds of people at that moment.
The newly renovated cream cake shop even imitates the decoration style of the Café de Coral in Shanghai. It is a standard European style, and it is more prosperous than many people have ever seen in their lives.
There are also large areas of glass, so you can see the displays inside without having to enter the store. 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 cakes 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 have come out just to take a look at what the legendary "cream cake" looks like.
Chu Yue doesn't mind having too many people. The more people there are, the more customers she can bring to the place.
But everyone’s attention is still on the cake shop now. Once the novelty wears off, they will discover her grocery store.
Chu Yue quickly pulled Ye Zhaodi out because she heard some noise coming from the other end of the street. It was almost time.
She reminded Lu Yuanbao, "Yuanbao, cover your ears quickly."
Lu Yuanbao still remembers that when he was selling popcorn at the market, the sound of firecrackers was so loud that he had to cover his ears tightly.
Is this going to be another bomb?
Lu Yuanbao immediately covered his ears with his hands.
Then, the noise continued to come.
It really was setting off firecrackers, but this time it was not the same kind of firecrackers, it was actually setting off firecrackers.
Crackling, crackling, the sound was deafening, and the smell of gunpowder filled the entire 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 sound, but also red fragments kept flying, which was to bring good luck when opening for 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 makes my ears numb. The Chinese New Year has never been this lively before."
"Don't you see whose cake shop this is? It's the Pei family's! It only lasted five minutes, that's nothing. On New Year's Eve, the biggest and most beautiful fireworks are set off by the Pei family. That's what really looks great."
"Look, Miss Pei is here! It's really Miss Pei! And Young Master Pei!"
The onlookers were talking loudly, 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, looking quite gorgeous.
Pei Hanchuan's suave face had a subtle expression at this moment. He complained to Pei Mingzhu, "I run a Western cake shop. Why do I have to do this kind of useless thing? It's neither Western nor Chinese, neither fish nor fowl."
Pei Mingzhu glanced at him sideways and reminded him in a low voice, "Hanchuan, don't talk nonsense."
What's the point of talking about foreigners or not? Is that something you can talk about in this kind of situation?
Pei Hanchuan said hurriedly, "Sister, I understand. You should be careful with your words and actions outside. I'm 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, with a hint of dignified 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 down, revealing a big sign with the words "Kaisling"!
