First spoiled, then love

Chapter 598 What Mr. and Mrs. Chen Want to Do
Chen Qingrong and Tang Xiaoru returned home with bags full of goods.

As soon as they entered the house, they couldn't wait to run to the baby's room and started trying on the newly bought clothes for the baby one by one.

"Look, the baby is so cute in this little shirt!" Tang Xiaoru picked up a light blue shirt and carefully put it on the baby. Then she stood by the bed and looked at the baby with joy on her face.

Chen Qingrong also came over and nodded with a smile: "Yes, it is indeed very beautiful. I found that our son and daughter have supermodel figures. Maybe they can go into this industry when they grow up."

Tang Xiaoru said angrily and amusedly, "They are only one or two months old, how can they be supermodels?"

Chen Qingrong chuckled, "I'm just fantasizing."

At this time, Lin Yue came in and saw the pile of clothes on the bed. She couldn't help but frowned: "How many clothes did you buy for the baby? Such a small baby doesn't need to wear so many clothes at all."

Tang Xiaoru turned her head and looked at Lin Yue with a smile: "Mom, these clothes are so beautiful, I can't help it. Besides, the baby also needs to be dressed up beautifully."

Lin Yue shook her head helplessly: "You young people are like this, you can't help but buy beautiful things when you see them, but the baby grows fast, and these clothes will soon be too old to wear, what a waste."

Chen Qingrong quickly tried to smooth things over: "Mom, please don't blame her. She is doing this for the baby's good. She wants the baby to wear something prettier. Besides, these clothes are not expensive. We can afford to buy them for the baby."

Lin Yue listened and sighed: "I know you love your baby, but you can't be so wasteful. Okay, okay, I won't say anything to you. Just try it on your baby, but don't let the baby wear too much, or he will get prickly heat."

Tang Xiaoru smiled and nodded: "Mom, don't worry, I know my limits. The baby is still young, we won't dress her too thickly."

As she spoke, she picked up another piece of small clothing and tried it on the baby.

The two babies seemed to like the new clothes very much. They danced on the bed in their new clothes, making Tang Xiaoru and Chen Qingrong laugh.

After trying on the clothes, the three of them sorted out the baby's new clothes and put them in the closet.

Looking at the closet full of baby clothes, Tang Xiaoru felt filled with satisfaction.

Time passed quickly, and it was night in the blink of an eye. Tang Xiaoru touched her stomach and felt a little hungry, so she said to Chen Qingrong: "Honey, I'm hungry, what are we going to eat tonight?"

Chen Qingrong thought for a moment and said, "How about we eat chestnut chicken? Didn't you say you wanted to eat it last time?"

When Tang Xiaoru heard this, her eyes lit up immediately: "Okay, okay! I just want to eat chestnut chicken!"

Lin Yue also smiled and nodded: "Chestnut chicken is good, rich in nutrition, I will go to prepare the ingredients, you just wait and eat."

Chen Qingrong asked, "Mom, do you need my help?"

Lin Yue waved her hand, "No, no, you just take care of Xiaoru's child."

Chen Qingrong said "oh" and thought of something else, "Oh, by the way, where are my mom and dad?"

Lin Yue said, "They went out with Old Tang to do something and will be back later."

"Ok."

Chen Qingrong didn't ask them what they were going to do.

Anyway, ever since the baby was born, Chen Xinrong could see that his parents became very excited, muttering in a weird way every day and no one knew what they were doing.

Having said that, Lin Yue turned and went into the kitchen and started preparing dinner.

Tang Xiaoru and Chen Qingrong sat on the sofa, watching TV and chatting.

"Honey, do you think the baby looks good in those new clothes?" Tang Xiaoru asked.

Chen Qingrong smiled and nodded: "Of course it looks good. Our baby looks good in anything. However, you did buy too much. You should control your purchase in the future."

Tang Xiaoru stuck out her tongue: "I know, I will pay attention next time. But when I saw those cute clothes, I just couldn't help myself."

The two chatted like this, and before they knew it, dinner was ready.

Lin Yue came out with a pot of fragrant chestnut chicken and placed it on the dining table.

"Come and have dinner!" Lin Yue greeted with a smile.

Chen Qingrong also sent a WeChat message to his parents just now, asking them when they would be back for dinner, and the reply he got was that they would be back a little later, around eight or nine o'clock.

Tang Xiaoru and Chen Qingrong hurried to the dining table, sat down and began to enjoy the food.

The chestnut chicken tasted really good, the chicken was tender and juicy, and the chestnuts were sweet and delicious. Both of them ate it with gusto.

"Mom, your cooking skills are getting better and better!" Tang Xiaoru praised while eating.

Lin Yue smiled and shook her head: "You just know how to make me happy. But as long as you guys enjoy your meal, I'll be satisfied."

In this way, the family enjoyed delicious food and chatted in a warm atmosphere.

After dinner, Tang Xiaoru touched her round belly and said with satisfaction: "It's so delicious! Mom, thank you for making such a delicious dinner for me."

Lin Yue smiled and patted her head: "Silly child, why are you being so polite to me? It's not the first time I cook for you."

At eight o'clock in the evening, the doorbell rang. Chen Qingrong walked over and opened the door. He saw his father, mother and father-in-law Tang Chengshan standing at the door together. All three of them had happy smiles on their faces.

"Dad, Mom, father-in-law, you're back!" Chen Qingrong greeted them with a smile. While helping them take the things in their hands, he asked curiously, "Where did you go today? You're back so late."

Wang Xiu'e patted Chen Qingrong's shoulder with a smile and said, "We went to look at shops with your father-in-law today."

Chen Qingrong was stunned and asked doubtfully: "Looking at shops? Are you planning to invest in shops?"

Tang Chengshan came over with a cup of tea, smiled, shook his head and said, "It's not an investment, it's your parents planning to start a business."

"What? Do you want to start a business?" Chen Qingrong looked at his parents in surprise and said in disbelief, "Dad, Mom, you are already retired, why are you still thinking about starting a business?"

Old Chen said with a smile: "Qingrong, after all, our land is now used by your sixth uncle. Your mother and I are bored in Shanghai, so we thought about renting a shop to do something. We looked at several shops and finally decided to open breakfast."

"Make breakfast?" Chen Qingrong was even more surprised. "Dad, Mom, you are not young anymore. It must be tiring to make breakfast! I just want you to spend your old age in peace and enjoy a peaceful life."

Wang Xiu'e smiled and shook her head after hearing this, saying, "Qingrong, you are still young and don't understand the thoughts of us old people. No matter how old you are, you have to find something to do, otherwise it will be boring to stay at home. Besides, we are both in good health and have plenty of energy."

Old Chen also continued, "Yes, Qingrong. We looked at that shop. The location is good and there is a lot of traffic. We plan to rent it, do a simple renovation, and open a breakfast shop. We will sell some buns, fried dough sticks, soy milk, etc. in the morning, and close at noon and in the evening. This way it won't be tiring." Chen Qingrong listened, still a little worried and said, "Dad, Mom, do you know? Opening a breakfast shop is not that easy. You have to get up early, prepare ingredients, greet customers, and clean up... These are all very hard work."

Wang Xiu'e smiled and said, "Qingrong, we all know that. But we really want to give it a try. You see, you and your Xiaoru both have your own careers now, and we are both idle at home anyway. Doing something can enrich our lives."

"Besides, we sell breakfast in the morning, and when we come back at noon and in the evening, we can take over from Yueyue and the others to take care of the children, and it won't interfere with our work."

"Besides, if we make our own breakfast, whether it's you or the children eating it later, we can feel at ease."

Old Chen also nodded in agreement: "Besides, you know your mother likes to cook, especially breakfast. She used to cook for us at home. Now we have the opportunity to open a breakfast shop and share her cooking skills with more people, which is also good."

Lin Yue said, "I think it's a good idea, Brother Chen, Sister Xiu'e, I support you and I will help you when the time comes."

Tang Xiaoru also smiled and said, "I agree too. Starting a business, whether you can make money or not, at least it can enrich your life. Chen Qingrong, don't object. Let my parents do it."

After hearing what his parents said, Chen Qingrong felt a little sad, but he also knew that they were telling the truth.

Parents have been used to working hard all their lives, so they would indeed be unable to adapt if they were suddenly idle.

Moreover, opening a breakfast shop is also one of their wishes, and as a son, he should support them.

It’s a pity that my parents will have to wait a while longer before they can enjoy their retirement.

He originally thought that after the child was born, all his parents would have to do every day was to take care of the child. After all, they didn't need to worry about things like making money.

They have raised me and watched me grow up and start my own family. If I cannot give back to them, then I would be a very unfilial son.

As a result, I am still busy now.

Oh, forget it, if you like it, just do it.

So, he sighed and said, "Dad, Mom, since you insist so much, I won't stop you. But you must take care of your health and don't get too tired. Also, opening a breakfast shop requires some formalities, and I'll help you with that when the time comes."

After hearing this, Lao Chen and Wang Xiu'e both nodded happily.

Wang Xiu'e held Chen Qingrong's hand and said, "Qingrong, thank you for understanding us. Don't worry, we will take care of our health. Besides, we are not doing this to make money, we just want to find something to do to make life more fun."

Then, Lao Chen began to excitedly describe their breakfast shop concept: "Qingrong, I have already decided that our breakfast shop will be called 'Lao Chen's Breakfast Shop', and the sign will be hung in the most conspicuous place. We get up at five in the morning and start preparing the ingredients. There are steamed buns with pork, beef, and vegetarian fillings; fried dough sticks must be fried until golden and crispy; and the soy milk must be ground to be fragrant and thick. Oh, and we will also sell porridge, millet porridge, rice porridge, red date porridge...all kinds of flavors. When the time comes, when customers come and see it, they will definitely be dazzled and don't know which one to choose."

Wang Xiu'e also smiled and interrupted, "Also, we plan to decorate the shop to be warmer, hang some traditional breakfast pictures on the wall, so that customers can feel the strong breakfast atmosphere as soon as they enter the door. As for the tables and chairs, we want to choose comfortable ones so that customers can sit comfortably and eat comfortably."

Chen Qingrong couldn't help but feel a little excited as he listened to his parents' description.

Although he knew that running a breakfast shop was hard work, seeing his parents so excited and confident, he also felt that this was something worth looking forward to.

"Dad, Mom, just do it!" Chen Qingrong finally made the decision, "I fully support you! If you need any help, just tell me."

After hearing this, Old Chen and Wang Xiu'e were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.

They knew that with their son's support, their dream of opening a breakfast shop would come true.

In this way, the family sat together and talked about breakfast. The atmosphere was warm and pleasant.

However, Chen Qingrong was still a little worried. "Mom and Dad, it's better for you to start your breakfast shop step by step. Don't prepare so many styles at the beginning. It's too tiring. I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it."

“Unless you hire employees.”

Lin Yue said quickly, "Why hire employees? It's a waste of money. I'll just come to help. I have nothing to do, so I'll just join in."

"And it also means I have invested in the company."

Tang Xiaoru joked, "Mom, you have to get up very early to make breakfast. Can you get up?"

But she knew that her mother loved to sleep in the most.

Lin Yue rolled her eyes at her, "What are you talking about? Are you looking down on your mother? I usually sleep in because I have nothing to do. I will definitely get up when I have something important to do."

"Take the matter of taking care of my precious grandchildren, for example. When have I ever slept in?"

Time flies, another half month has passed, and this month is almost over.

During this period, Chen Qingrong's parents also started to set up their breakfast shop in full swing.

In order to ensure that there would be customers from the beginning, Chen Qingrong's parents spent some money to join a breakfast brand called Golden Crab Roe Buns.

After all, there are so many places selling breakfast these days, and there is definitely a difference between the generic brands and the famous brands. Most customers still prefer to choose brands they have heard of to consume.

Tang Xiaoru and her colleagues’ sanitary napkin brand have also entered the promotion and marketing stage.

As mentioned at the beginning, Yang Bingbing will be the spokesperson for this sanitary napkin brand.

Not only did she start promoting it on her Weibo more than 20 days in advance, she also invited many friends in the circle to help forward it.

In the last two days of the month, Sister Bingbing started shooting an advertisement.

When the advertisement was being filmed, Tang Xiaoru, Chen Qingrong and others also came to the scene to watch.

The photographer was flashing the flash, and Chen Qingrong stood beside Tang Xiaoru, marveling at the scene.

"Sister Bingbing is really a professional. If I was exposed so much and the flash was flashing at me all the time, I would have been unable to bear it long ago."

"And how does she manage not to blink every time the flash goes off?"

Tang Xiaoru looked at him with a smile and said, "You just said it yourself, because Bingbing is a professional."

Tang Xiaoru said to Chen Qingrong again, "Hubby, order some milk tea from Shengnan's store. Count the number of people in the studio and you'll be done."

Chen Qingrong asked back, "Since we are treating these people to drinks, why can't we drink something more upscale? How about Luckin Coffee?"
