Chapter 385 Are you still sleeping?
"While I was getting my hair done at Boss Xu's shop, I kept hearing some loud noises from the next door. I chatted with him for a while," Chen Fengying said. "Boss Xu told me that they were renovating the shop next door and were going to open one."
The street became more and more prosperous, with more and more people coming and going. It was not uncommon for people to renovate and open shops one after another. Generally, Xu Zhiyi would not mention it specifically.
The new boss next door is making a big move. He has rented three stores in a row and connected them to open a big store. If it really opens, it will definitely be very grand, and no matter what it sells, it will be good for their street.
But Xu Zhiyi also said——
"...Boss Xu said she asked the workers next door, and it seems the new owner is also going to open a grocery store!"
"Is it also a grocery store?" Chu Yue frowned tightly.
Chen Fengying nodded repeatedly, her newly permed hair swaying.
"That's right! They're making such a big fuss, and they're opening a grocery store right across from your store. Isn't this obviously stealing your business? Boss Xu even asked if you'd offended anyone? But we're doing fine, how could we have offended anyone? Would they open a store specifically to embarrass you? That's too weird. But if it's true... what should we do? That store is so big, and you can tell at a glance that they're wealthy. Sister Chu, you..."
"It's okay." Seeing Chen Fengying's face full of worry, Chu Yue, as usual, patted Chen Fengying's shoulder and comforted her, "It's not certain whether it will open a grocery store or not. It's just a guess. There's no need to worry about it. It's not a big deal. I don't care."
"You...you..." Chen Fengying looked at Chu Yue, who was calm and composed, and she was truly impressed. "You are so generous! No wonder Doctor Hao wanted you to be his military doctor! Sister Chu, you are different from the rest of us."
Chu Yue smiled faintly.
Although she comforted Chen Fengying, she actually appreciated Xu Zhiyi's kind reminder in her heart.
In the current social environment, grocery stores are far from reaching the level of large supermarkets in the future. Most of the grocery stores on the market are small shops like Chu Yue.
Now, there are people who are making such a big fuss and creating such a grand event just to make a little money, which is even more grand than Pei's Caesars Cake Shop.
If you think about it carefully, it is easy to think that the other party has bad intentions.
And Xu Zhiyi also asked, maybe Chu Yue had offended someone?
Her guess coincided with Chu Yue's.
The previous incident of a small hooligan in the downtown area was easily resolved by Chu Yue, but in the final analysis, there was someone who instructed it, and the mastermind behind it has not been found out yet.
If the owner of a new store across the street was about to open, and she had deliberately hired thugs to ruin her store's business and thus seize the market, this would make sense.
I never thought that such a small street would come up with such dirty "business war" tactics.
At this moment, Chu Yue only thought of this, and had not yet realized who the real big tiger hiding behind was and what his real purpose was.
"mom!"
Chen Dazhuang ran towards Chen Fengying. Seeing Chen Fengying coming back, he shouted happily. However, after getting closer, his pace slowed down unconsciously. He looked up at Chen Fengying and did not pounce on her at once.
Chen Fengying had finished her business with Chu Yue. She stroked her hair and said to Chen Dazhuang, "Son, what are you looking at? You've been playing with Yuanbao all day. You can't disturb Captain Lu and his family anymore. Come on, come back with mother."
Chen Dazhuang looked at the familiar clothes on Chen Fengying and listened to Chen Fengying's iconic voice, but then looked at Chen Fengying's face and hair... His round head was full of question marks.
"Are you...really my mother?"
If she had heard such rude words under normal circumstances, given Chen Fengying's impetuous temper, she would have immediately hit Chen Dazhuang a few times.
But today...
Chen Fengying happily touched her hair and said, "If I'm not your mother, who else could I be? Did you pop out from a crack in the rock? Has Mom become more beautiful today?"
"Yeah, mom is pretty!" Chen Dazhuang answered loudly first.
After hearing this, Chen Fengying burst into laughter and pulled Chen Dazhuang, saying, "Not bad, you finally say what I like to hear. Let's go home and I'll make you braised pork belly. Sister Chu, we're leaving. See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow, Sister Chen."
Chu Yue watched Chen Fengying and her son leave happily, then looked at Lu Yuanbao, "Yuanbao, did you have fun today?"
"Happy." Lu Yuanbao nodded.
Chu Yue touched his head, then took his hand and they walked home. "Just be happy. Let's go home and cook. Mom bought some spare ribs today. We can make braised spare ribs. You and your dad both love this."
Lu Yuanbao took a few steps, then suddenly looked up and said to Chu Yue, "Mom, you don't need to do your hair, you're still the most beautiful."
It’s amazing that Lu Yuanbao can even talk to make Chu Yue happy.
Chu Yue was extremely pleased, "My Yuanbao is really good at talking. Yes, every mother is the most beautiful."
At night, in the young couple’s room.
Chu Yue turned over again.
When Lu Zhanlin felt it, he put his arm around her waist and they moved closer.
Chu Yue had never thought that there would be a day when she would toss and turn. Xu Zhiyi's reminder kept lingering in her mind. This was the biggest problem Chu Yue had encountered since she traveled through time.
She whispered, "Zhan Lin, did I wake you up?"
Lu Zhanlin kissed her forehead and asked, "Wife, is there anything bothering you? You can tell me. We are husband and wife, and we should bear the responsibility for each other."
"There's something I can't figure out, but I don't have enough clues right now. Or maybe I'm just overthinking it." Chu Yue was very happy with Lu Zhanlin's thoughtfulness. She looked up and kissed the corner of his mouth. "Don't worry, if there's something I can't solve, I'll be the first to tell you. After all, you're my biggest supporter."
Lu Zhanlin confirmed again, "Will you really tell me instead of taking the risk yourself?"
It turned out that the man was secretly settling the score for her thigh injury. He had clearly taken advantage of her and eaten her meat, but he still wanted to settle the score afterward. He had really learned bad habits.
The cold man at the beginning turned out to be sinister.
For Lu Zhanlin, the time Chu Yue went missing and he later saw them admitted to the hospital, the feeling of being worried about his lover's safety was even more stressful than when he was on the battlefield.
He didn't want it to happen again, and he didn't want Chu Yue to be in danger again.
"Really, I swear." Chu Yue promised softly.
In the dim room, the couple huddled close together. As the weather grew hotter, they wore simple pajamas and their blankets became thinner and thinner. Only their warm body temperatures remained unchanged.
Chu Yue raised the corners of her eyes and said in a sweet voice, "Are you still sleeping?"
