To the family's surprise, after they had dinner at the restaurant, they returned to Feng Haidong's shop.
The scene remained the same: the store was bustling with activity, and there were still many people queuing in front of the store.
Upon seeing this scene, Yu Jun couldn't help but exclaim, "Is this store in Haidong doing too well? It's already past nine o'clock, and there are still so many people queuing up?"
Everyone was very surprised, and after learning the time, they were all puzzled.
Why are there still people queuing in front of Feng Haidong's store even though it's past 9 p.m.?
After observing his surroundings, Yu Xiangyang explained his reason.
"I think the situation is like this: people stay up late on the pedestrian street during the May Day holiday, and there are also some neon light shows there at night, so many people may have stayed out on the pedestrian street until quite late."
Upon hearing this, Yue Rujuan quickly chimed in, "So, everyone got hungry after playing for so long and wanted to eat something. We just remembered Uncle's shop, so we all came to eat here."
Yu Xiangyang nodded: "Yes, that should be it."
After listening to Yu Xiangyang and Yue Rujuan's words, everyone thought about it carefully and looked towards the pedestrian street. They all felt that it seemed to be true.
Yue Kang thought for a moment and suggested, "How about this, Hai Dong's shop will probably be open quite late tonight, so why don't we send my aunt and uncle, as well as my uncles and aunts, Wanling and the children home to rest first? Then we can all go home and rest today, and come back tomorrow morning to talk to Hai Dong and my older sister."
After listening to Yue Kang's suggestion, Feng Chungu said, "Let's do as Yue Kang suggests. Erxiu and Sanlin, you two families go home first, and Wanling and I will go to the house we rented in Haidong."
The two sisters, Liu Fenxiu and Liu Fenlin, immediately said, "Uncle, we'll take you there."
Liu Guifang said, "No need to see us off. It's getting late, and you don't live nearby. It will take you time to get back. You two families can go back first. It's alright."
Lu Chengzong and Lin Guojin, the elderly couple, also said that there was no need to see them off, and that Feng Haidong's second and third cousins' families should go back first.
While the adults were discussing it, the three children, Yu Xiangyang, Yue Rujuan, and Feng Qifan, also got together to discuss it.
“Brother, you’re our eldest brother, so you should make the decision. Why don’t you take us to help out at Uncle’s shop?”
"Yue Rujuan, why don't you say it yourself? Why do you make me say it?"
Yue Rujuan quickly said, "You're the older brother. If you ask, and you promise to take me home, I believe my parents will definitely agree."
Feng Qifan chimed in, "Brother Xiangyang, just say it! If you say it, my mom will definitely agree."
Yu Xiangyang was both amused and exasperated when his younger sister and brother lifted him up like this.
He actually wanted to stay and see what his uncle's shop was like.
However, he did not expect that before he could tell his parents, his younger sister Yue Rujuan saw through his thoughts. As a result, Yue Rujuan dragged Feng Qifan along to beg her older brother to let him stay with the two of them.
Looking at his younger sister and brother, Yu Xiangyang hesitated to agree.
Yue Rujuan quickly continued to plead, "Big brother, please tell me."
Feng Qifan was very cooperative: "Brother Xiangyang, they will definitely agree to what you say. Just say you will send us all back, and we will go back at eleven o'clock."
Yu Xiangyang is currently struggling with his younger sister and brother.
A small figure suddenly came over as well.
"Big brother, big sister, Fanfan brother, what are you talking about? Why don't you take Yueyue with you?"
Seeing that Lu Yue had also come over, Yu Xiangyang was in an even more difficult position.
Feng Qifan looked at his younger sister and earnestly advised her, "Little sister, you're still young. You should go home with my mom to sleep later. My brother, sister, and I will stay at the shop to help Dad."
Lu Yue was immediately displeased when she heard her brother say that.
"No, no, Brother Fanfan, I want to help Uncle with you too."
Feng Qifan said, "You're so young, how can you help?"
Lu Yue said, "No, Brother Fanfan, you have to take me with you."
Seemingly realizing that simply begging Feng Qifan wasn't enough, Lu Yue quickly turned to her sister Yue Rujuan.
"Big sister, please take me with you. We're girls, so you should take Yueyue with you."
Yue Rujuan was speechless after hearing Lu Yue's words.
However, Yue Rujuan still squatted down, hugged Lu Yue, and comforted her, "Yueyue, it's very late now. You must be tired after running around to so many places today. Why don't you go home with your aunt and sleep?"
Lu Yue's interest was piqued, so naturally she wasn't going to give up so easily.
"No, big sister, you should take Yueyue with you."
Seeing that she couldn't persuade Lu Yue not to go with them, Yue Rujuan looked up at Yu Xiangyang for help.
Yu Xiangyang gave an even more wry smile: "Look at you, we insisted on you two staying together, and now look what happened? Yueyue wants to stay too. If we say this, the adults definitely won't agree."
Upon hearing Yu Xiangyang's words, Lu Yue volunteered, saying, "Big brother, I'll go and say it, Yueyue will go and say it."
As she spoke, Lu Yue immediately broke free from Yue Rujuan's embrace and ran straight to tell her grandparents and aunt.
Upon seeing this, Yu Xiangyang, Yue Rujuan, and Feng Qifan quickly went after her, trying to stop Lu Yue.
As a result, although they caught up with Lu Yue, they were unable to stop her.
"Grandpa, Grandma, Aunt, I want to stay with my older brother and sister. We want to help Uncle's shop. You all go home and get some sleep."
Lu Yue's shout instantly drew the attention of the adults who were discussing the matter to the children.
Yu Xiangyang, Yue Rujuan, and Feng Qifan, the three older children, looked at each other, not knowing what to do in this situation.
After a moment of hesitation, Feng Qifan stepped forward and said, "Grandpa and Grandma, Second Aunt and Uncle, Third Aunt and Uncle, Mom, Xiangyang, Rujuan, and I want to stay and help Dad, Aunt, and Uncle greet customers in the shop."
Feng Qifan's words startled the surprised adults.
Lu Yue quickly stepped back and grabbed Fanfan's hand: "Yueyue too, Yueyue should stay and help too."
Seeing that his younger siblings dared to speak up, Yu Xiangyang, as the eldest brother, also stood up and said, "That's right, we want to stay and help our uncle. Today is May Day, and we don't usually have much time to work. I think tonight is a chance to experience labor, and I want to help out at the store."
Yue Rujuan finally stepped forward and said, "I also want to stay and help. I'm in high school now, and I can do the work."
The four children's words left the adults looking at each other in bewilderment.
It seems no one expected that the children would be so positive and sensible.
Feng Chungu chuckled and said, "Sure, if you want to stay and help out, then stay and give it a try. Anyway, it's the May Day holiday now, and we have a day off tomorrow too. If you're busy too late, you can sleep in tomorrow."
Upon hearing Feng Chungu's words, both the older and younger children cheered happily.
