After visiting his wife, Feng Haidong, along with his parents, in-laws, and two children, left the hospital and took a car to his new shop in the provincial capital.
On the bus, I looked out at the streets of the provincial capital, which were decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations to celebrate New Year's Day.
My father-in-law smiled and said, "The roads in the provincial capital haven't changed much. Just like where we are, there are many more high-rise buildings now."
My mother-in-law said, "There is a difference. The streets of the provincial capital are decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations for New Year's Day. It feels like there are more of these decorations on the streets here than in our area. In our area, there are only a few main streets with these decorations."
Lu Yue, sitting in her grandmother's lap, suddenly pointed out the window and said, "Grandma, look, there are red lanterns hanging on the streetlights over there."
Hearing his granddaughter's words, Lin Guojin smiled and said, "That's right, there are red lanterns here, but we don't have any at home."
Lu Chengzong laughed and said, "We also hang some colorful lights at home, so it's all the same, isn't it? And we also have flowers displayed by the roadside."
Lin Guojin said, "That's true, we're actually not doing badly now."
Feng Chungu smiled and said, "Yes, things are pretty good over there now."
Liu Guifang said, "But there seem to be more people on the streets of the provincial capital than in our area."
Feng Haidong chimed in, "Mom, there are definitely more people in the provincial capital than where we are. Now, many people are flocking to the provincial capital to find work."
Upon hearing this, my mother-in-law said, "So, Haidong, your shop in the provincial capital must be doing quite well, right?"
Feng Haidong said, "We don't know about the business yet. We'll find out how it goes after we open. My current plan is to have my older sister and brother-in-law from the provincial capital cook stir-fries for lunch and deliver them to some construction sites nearby. In the evening, we'll do my grilled fish, spicy crab, and barbecue."
The father nodded and said, "This arrangement is good. Haidong, your food is indeed not suitable for lunch."
Feng Haidong said, "Yes, my grilled fish, spicy crab and barbecue are not really suitable for lunch on weekdays, but there are more people coming to the pedestrian street on weekends, so we can also make grilled fish and spicy crab for lunch."
My father-in-law smiled and said, "Haidong is becoming more and more like a businessman. He understands his customers' needs very well."
Feng Haidong responded to his father-in-law: "To do business, you must understand the needs of your customers. There's a popular saying now, 'The customer is God,' so we must provide good service to our customers."
My mother said, "What God or anything? Your cooking is delicious and clean, so people will definitely want to eat it."
Feng Haidong said, "Mom is right, so I definitely have to make sure the hygiene conditions are in good condition."
Both his father and father-in-law agreed and instructed Feng Haidong to ensure cleanliness and hygiene, so that no guest would feel uncomfortable after eating.
As the group chatted, Feng Qifan looked out the window at the station and said, "We've arrived. The pedestrian street station should be just ahead."
Hearing her grandson's words, Liu Guifang was somewhat surprised: "Fanfan already knows we're almost at the station?"
Feng Qifan said, "Grandma, I've been here with Dad before. Last time we came, Dad took my sister and me on this same bus."
Lin Guojin said, "Fanfan has a really good memory. No wonder she was able to memorize the sheet music before going on stage."
Lu Yue said, "Brother Fanfan is awesome!"
Feng Qifan smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliments, Grandma and my sister."
Seeing that they were indeed about to arrive at the station, Feng Haidong stood up and said, "We're about to arrive. Mom and Dad, please slow down and wait until the bus has come to a complete stop before getting off."
Upon arrival at the station, Feng Haidong first helped the two children off the bus, and then waited in front of the door for the four elderly people to get off.
Fortunately, the driver and ticket seller were very kind and waited until all four elderly people got off the bus before closing the doors and starting the bus again.
As he walked past the station, Lu Chengzong looked out at the pedestrian street in the provincial capital and said, "It's been so many years since I've been here."
Lin Guojin also said, "Yes, it's been many years since I've been here."
Lu Yue stepped forward and took her grandparents' hands, saying, "Grandpa and Grandma, let's hurry up! Uncle's shop is just across the street."
Lin Guojin looked down at his granddaughter and said, "Oh dear, so Yueyue knows where it is too?"
Lu Yue smiled and said, "I know."
The group crossed the road via the overpass outside the pedestrian street.
Feng Haidong led four elderly people to the road where his new shop is located.
As we stepped onto this road, my father-in-law looked around and said, "Haidong, you really chose a great spot. The pedestrian street is right across the street."
My mother-in-law looked at it and said, "It's that construction site that's blocking the way."
Feng Haidong said, "The location here is very good. The only problem is that it is blocked by the building under construction at the intersection of the pedestrian street. However, the flow of people should be okay. And if you come out of the pedestrian street and cross the overpass to get here, it is actually very close to us."
The four elderly men looked around and nodded in agreement, agreeing that Feng Haidong's location was indeed excellent.
Feng Haidong led everyone to the store and saw his older cousin and her husband busy with their son and daughter.
When they saw Feng Haidong leading four elderly people and two children into the house.
Especially when I saw Feng Chungu and Liu Guifang.
Liu Fenzhen rushed out of the kitchen excitedly.
"Auntie, Uncle, you're here."
Immediately afterwards, Liu Fenzhen called her son and daughter out: "Ma Ling, Ma Ming, come out quickly and meet your great-aunt and great-uncle, hurry up."
Ma Ling and Ma Ming followed their father out and were somewhat surprised to see Feng Haidong and the others.
Seeing that his son and daughter did not greet them, Ma Bangcheng quickly said, "Call them! This is your mother's aunt and uncle, and these two are your uncle's parents-in-law. Call them Grandma and Grandpa."
Ma Ling immediately stepped forward warmly: "Hello, great-aunt and great-uncle, welcome!"
