As expected, Wang Sheng did not come to her store again. Feng Yan was heartbroken for a few days and finally let go.
Yanjun seems to be busier than before these days. She goes out early and comes back late all day long. She seems to be very active.
The weather is getting colder day by day, and the boxed lunches get cold easily, so they are not easy to sell. The dumplings and noodle soups are selling better...
Feng Yanhong added a few kinds of noodle soup, but the business was not as good as when the weather was hot. The lowest sales in the past few days were more than 70 yuan.
But in comparison, her business is much better than those around her. Even the shop owners around her can't even envy her.
During these two phone calls, Feng Yanhong did not ask about the letter, and gradually forgot about the letter.
At three o'clock on Saturday afternoon, Feng Yanhong arrived in front of the canteen on time. As soon as she said a few words to the shop owner, the phone rang.
"Hey! It's me."
"Well, the furniture has been delivered to my house. Uncle Li and my dad helped with it."
"I'm not busy. Now that the weather is cold, business is not so busy. I'm not tired! Hmm."
"Okay, please pay attention to safety and don't work too hard."
The two of them didn't dare to chat for too long each time. After all, they were billed by time. It was really not something that most people would be willing to make on the phone at this time.
When Qin Zheng came to Zhoutian, he sent a pack of wedding candies with a face full of joy.
"Brother Zheng and sister-in-law have received their certificates? When will the wedding be held?"
Although she knew Fu Minrong didn't like her, she sincerely blessed them both.
"We plan to go back to the capital to do it during the Chinese New Year. We don't have many relatives and friends here, so we won't do it for the time being. We will treat you to a casual meal when we come back after the Chinese New Year."
Qin Zheng scratched his head in embarrassment, standing there with a happy face as if he were a young man just starting out.
"Okay, pretty good."
Neither of them are from Yincheng, so it's normal not to hold a banquet here.
Qin Zheng has also deliberately avoided Feng Yanhong recently. He usually eats here almost every day. In the past few days, this is the first time he has come here. He left after saying a few words.
Feng Yanhong didn't feel any discomfort and didn't take these things to heart.
Zhang Yun looked at the bag of wedding candies with some unclear emotions in his eyes. He quickly calmed down, said nothing, and turned around to enter the kitchen.
Zheng Qiaozhen has been coming more and more frequently recently, always talking to Zhang Yun, and sometimes she even deliberately avoids Feng Yanhong.
After a few more visits, Zhang Yun became a little impatient. When she spoke, she only responded perfunctorily.
In fact, after getting along for such a long time, Feng Yanhong gradually lost any affection for Zheng Qiaozhen.
Keep the distance neither too far nor too close, and just help as much as you can, that's all.
Why she avoided her was not that important in Feng Yanhong's heart.
As long as she didn't touch her bottom line, she would just turn a blind eye because of what happened before.
"Sister Yanhong..." Zhang Yun said with a very embarrassed look.
"Huh? Qiaozhen is gone?"
"Let's go." Zhang Yun came in to help wash the vegetables and lowered his head in embarrassment.
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Yun said hesitantly: "Qiaozhen wants me to help ask if you still need someone here..."
"Why didn't she ask me herself?" Feng Yanhong curled her lips, but she was actually not very happy.
"Maybe it's because I think our relationship is closer." Zhang Yun grinned, his smile was a bit forced.
Zheng Qiaozhen was afraid that after being rejected, she would have no room for maneuver.
She complained to her a lot these days, about the cold weather, the pain of setting up a stall outside, and about being reported and bullied.
I hesitated for a long time before telling her what I was thinking. She couldn't walk very smoothly like that. If she went to other places, people probably wouldn't want her.
Feng Yanhong hesitated for a moment. Aunt Ji would be back tomorrow and she would probably be busy preparing for the wedding for a while. She might not be able to take care of the store during the period before the New Year.
"You go back today and ask her if I can hire a temporary worker for two months. Ask her if she can do it."
"If you do it, you can start work tomorrow."
In contrast, she believed in Zhang Yun more.
"I'm going to pick someone up tomorrow afternoon. He may not come to the store in the next two days. You should keep an eye on your troubles in the store."
"Okay, don't worry and go about your business, I can take care of you."
Zhang Yun knew that Feng Yanhong let her take care of the store because she trusted him, and she would naturally not betray her trust.
Feng Yanhong settled down with Zheng Qiaozhen early in the morning and was busy all afternoon. Seeing that there was no problem, she left the store at two o'clock and set off to pick up Ji Shuying at the station.
Feng Yanhong waited at the exit for a long time and finally saw Ji Shuying, who was holding something in both hands.
"Auntie, this way."
"The store is so busy, why did you come to pick me up?" Ji Shuying saw Feng Yanhong's face full of joy and quickened her pace.
"It's not heavy, it's not heavy, don't touch it, I'll carry it..." Ji Shuying felt that Feng Yanhong was tall and thin, and she didn't look like a girl who could carry heavy things.
If this were my own girl, she wouldn't be willing to let him carry anything.
"It's okay, I can carry it." Feng Yanhong took one bag, but Ji Shuying refused to let her carry a second bag no matter what.
"Hey, Director Ji is back from the capital?"
"My daughter-in-law is here to pick you up? Look how pretty this girl is. When is the wedding?"
"Coming soon, I'll send you a wedding invitation then." Ji Shuying's face almost burst into laughter as she greeted the people around her politely.
"Good things are coming soon! No wonder Director Ji looks so good."
...
Feng Yanhong stood next to Ji Shuying, only responsible for smiling and not caring about anything else. Aunt Ji would always quietly move the topic away and would not let her become the focus.
Almost all the people I met on the bus knew Ji Shuying. She was also very talkative, and she could talk to people tactfully about anything they said.
Even if the person spoke with a needle-point, she could casually let someone stick the needle-point on the cotton, making everyone laugh easily.
Feng Yanhong had always thought that Aunt Ji was very good at dealing with people. Now it seems that Li Boshan's way of dealing with people has mostly followed that of Aunt Ji.
It's just that his temperament is too reserved and he has no enthusiasm for others, so he is not as comfortable as Aunt Ji in doing things.
After getting off the bus, it was finally a lot quieter. Li Zhong had been waiting at the intersection with the cart. He took the luggage and walked in front of the cart. The two of them followed slowly behind.
"No matter what those people say, good or bad, there is no need to take it seriously, just listen to it. But we have to accept it politely. This is not hypocrisy. Life in this world is always black and white, right?"
"Yeah, I understand."
"Girls are easier to teach than boys. You will understand it as soon as you explain it."
"And our smoothness is not to please them. We cannot make them think that we are weak and easy to bully."
