Back to my parents when I was seventeen

Chapter 166 Just Be Happy

After listening to You Shuzhen's arrangement, Xu Chuning nodded, thought for a moment and said, "Why not ask them."

You Shuzhen: “They?”

She responded, "It seems possible."

Xu Chu Ning responded and said seriously, "They know a lot of people and have a wide range of knowledge. They will definitely not mind if we learn from them."

"Okay." You Shuzhen thought for a while, "I'll contact your mother tomorrow."

Xu Chuning: “Ah?”

"What?" You Shuzhen glanced at her and asked with amusement, "You haven't called her mom yet?"

Xu Chuning pursed her lips and lowered her eyes, "I can't scream."

"Still blaming them?" You Shuzhen knew her very well.

Xu Chuning accepted the house offered by Xu Yiming and Ye Qiongfang, and she also called Fu Xianglian grandma. But she still had some resentment towards Xu Yiming and his wife.

Maybe it's not resentment, it's just awkwardness.

She wasn't ready to get along with them like a normal father and daughter or mother and daughter.

Xu Chu Ning didn't say anything.

You Shuzhen understood her thoughts and said softly, "Then wait a little longer and let's observe them for a while."

Xu Chuning was amused by You Shuzhen's words and hummed softly, "Okay."

When the mother and daughter returned home, You Shuzhen immediately called Ye Qiongfang.

They had already exchanged contact information.

After listening to You Shuzhen's words, Ye Qiongfang agreed very much, "No problem, I will go to the store tomorrow to discuss the details with you."

Before Xu Chu Ning was born, Ye Qiongfang would help Xu Yiming with his affairs. The reason why Xu Yijia Supermarket was able to do so well was also due to Ye Qiongfang's advice from the beginning.

But after giving birth, her health became much weaker, so she rarely asked about the affairs of the supermarket.

But over the years, Ye Qiongfang has not forgotten what she learned. She also pays close attention to supermarket affairs and various social trends.

She stepped in to help You Shuzhen look after the restaurant and was definitely a capable helper.

After the two finished chatting, You Shuzhen hung up the phone happily.

Seeing the smile on her face, Xu Chu Ning felt inexplicably happy.

She found that You Shuzhen had opened up a little recently. She was no longer alone in the city of Jiangcheng and now had people of the same age with whom she could communicate.

After washing up and lying down to sleep, Xu Chu Ning said to Shen Yu Bai: "My mother agreed."

Shen Yubai: [Not surprising.]

Shen Yubai: [Happy? ]

Xu Chuning: [A little bit.]

Shen Yubai: [Just be happy, don't worry about other things, I will help you take care of the storefront. ]

Xu Chuning: [Do you have time? ]

Shen Yubai: [You can watch it on weekends. ]

Xu Chuning: […This is really a bit unfair.]

Shen Yubai: [How do you say that?]

Xu Chuning: [I have to read books and review on weekends so that I can get first or second place in the grade. You never seem to read books on weekends.]

Comparing yourself to others can really make you angry.

Could this be genius?

Shen Yubai: [Maybe I had a better foundation when I was young? ]

Xu Chuning: [You'd better stop talking. ]

Shen Yubai curled his lips: [Shen Sinian and I will go to the store to have breakfast tomorrow. ]

Xu Chuning: [It’s up to you.]

The two chatted briefly, and Xu Chu Ning put down his phone and prepared to go to bed.

She lay on the bed, looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, pulling the quilt, and silently raised the corners of her lips.

She couldn't say why, but she was very happy at the moment.

The next morning, when Xu Chuning and You Shuzhen finished their peak period in the shop, Shen Yubai and Shen Sinian came over.

Not long after the two of them sat down, Ye Qiongfang and Sang Menglan also arrived.

Several people looked at each other.

Shen Yubai was puzzled, "Mom, why are you here too?"

Sang Menglan glanced at him unhappily, "You are the only one allowed to come over for breakfast, but I am not allowed to come over to see Ningning?"

"..."

Shen Yubai: "How dare I?"

How could he dare not let Sang Menglan come?

Listening to the conversation between the mother and son, Ye Qiongfang chuckled and explained, "We are here to look for your Aunt You."

After saying this, she looked at Xu Chu Ning, "Ning Ning."

Xu Chuning pursed her lips and hummed, "Have you had breakfast?"

Sang Menglan shook her head: "No, we just came here to have breakfast."

Xu Chu Ning's lips curved slightly, "Then Aunt Sang, what do you want to eat? I'll make it now."

"We can all." Sang Menglan said, "I'm not picky about food."

Shen Yubai: "Are you really not picky about food?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yubai received a look of contempt from Sang Menglan.

Shen Sinian laughed happily beside him, "Ningning, is there any mixed sauce today?"

"My mother is still waiting in the back." Xu Chu Ning pointed back, "Go and see if she's done."

Shen Sinian: "Okay."

You Shuzhen's fried sauce was just ready, and the four of them wanted to eat noodles with fried sauce, so Xu Chuning cooked noodles for them.

There were no other customers in the shop at the moment, only four people.

Several people were eating and chatting happily.

It was not the first time that Sang Menglan had eaten something cooked by You Shuzhen, but she would praise You Shuzhen every time she took a bite. In the end, You Shuzhen felt a little embarrassed.

After eating, Sang Menglan looked at You Shuzhen and said, "Sister Zhen, if you open a store, can I invest?"

You Shuzhen: “Ah?”

She was flattered, "Aren't you afraid that your investment will go down the drain?"

She reminded Sang Menglan: "I have never opened a restaurant before, and my cooking skills are just ordinary. I am not really good at making exquisite dishes."

"It doesn't need to be too fancy. We can work on the rest later." You Shuzhen pointed at the noodles with soybean paste that she had just finished eating. "I have a feeling that you can make the restaurant bigger and stronger just by selling noodles with soybean paste."

You Shuzhen: “It’s not that exaggerated.”

"Yes." Ye Qiongfang also agreed, "We really think you have good skills."

You Shuzhen was so praised by the two that she didn't know what to say.

Xu Chuning and Shen Sinian were sitting at another table, listening and couldn't help but communicate, "I know my grandma is good at speaking, knows how to praise people, and gives high emotional values, but I didn't know she was so amazing."

Shen Yubai: "...she used to be even more exaggerated."

Xu Chu Ning was curious: "How do you say that?"

Shen Yubai recalled an old event from his childhood. A foreigner came to China to do business, and You Shuzhen and Shen Xingyan accompanied him on a trip.

After returning, Shen Xingyan told Shen Yubai that if Sang Menglan had not been there, the deal might not have been done.

Sang Menglan is really good at talking and praising people.

Although her English was average, she was able to get the translator to translate for her until the other party was confused, and finally signed the contract happily.

"...So amazing?" Shen Sinian was surprised, "Then I will have to change my idol in the future."

Xu Chuning tilted his head, "It's Aunt Sang now?"

Shen Sinian: "Yes, what do you think?"

Shen Yubai glanced at him and said, "I don't think it's that good. You should change it."

Shen Sinian frowned: "Why?"

"Because she's only good at speaking." Shen Yubai said expressionlessly, "She's bad at math."

At this point, she reminded Xu Chu Ning, "If she wants to invest, remember to tell Aunt You and don't let her manage the money."

Xu Chuning: “…”
