Chapter 155 National Day 20
That night, Chu Yijing's parents stayed in a guest room on the second floor.
Although there were many customers during the National Day holiday, their store still had enough staff.
Originally, Ziyue and Chu Yijing planned to take their parents out for a stroll and some fun, but the parents knew that their shop would be quite busy during the long weekend and wouldn't let them take them out.
“Your dad and I are still young and in good physical condition. We don’t need you two to accompany us all the time. We can go wherever we want to go by ourselves. We won’t get lost without you two by our side.”
"Besides, we can just take a stroll on the beach when we have nothing else to do. There's no other place we particularly want to go. I prefer staying in Ziyue's flower shop to going out. I really love the flowers and plants in Ziyue's shop. They're so pleasing to the eye. So, don't worry about us. You two should go and get busy."
Ms. Liu Zhixue had made up her mind, and Mr. Chu always listened to his wife, so Ziyue and Chu Yijing had no choice but to follow their elder's arrangements.
So, during this holiday, the elderly couple didn't really go anywhere else. When they had nothing to do, they would take a walk on the beach, and most of the rest of the time they stayed at Ziyue's flower shop to help out.
In your spare time, you can sit outside the shop near the sea, under the parasol, drink coffee, enjoy the sea breeze, and chat casually – it's a very pleasant experience.
Ms. Liu Zhixue, Chu Yijing's mother, usually enjoys growing flowers and plants at home, so she really likes the flowers and plants in Ziyue Flower Shop and spends most of her day there.
During the National Day holiday, both the beach and the streets were packed with people, creating a lively atmosphere.
Their flower shop and dessert shop are popular online, especially after it was revealed that the flower shop owner and the dessert shop's pastry chef were a couple, attracting even more young couples.
Buying a beautiful bouquet of flowers, ordering a dessert, having a coffee, and taking photos have become a must-do activity for most young couples visiting this place.
Ziyue had previously placed several Polaroid cameras in the two stores so that couples could take photos for their customers.
Take two photos, give one to the customer, and keep the other in the store, pasting it on a wall. Now both stores have a photo wall, which is covered with many couple photos.
There weren't enough tables outside the dessert shop, so Ziyue added a few more tables and chairs outside the back door so customers could sit there; it's all the same anyway.
Blue sky, sea, sunshine, beach, sea breeze, friends, lovers, or best friends, the aroma of desserts, the fragrance of flowers, and crowds all blend together to create the most beautiful picture.
Ziyue later painted this scene, creating a huge oil painting. After finishing it, she framed it in glass and placed it outside the store, nailing it to the wall. This became another must-visit backdrop for photos. Of course, that's another story.
During the seven-day National Day holiday, the flower shop was doing alright, thanks to Ms. Liu Zhixue's help. However, the dessert shop was always packed due to the large number of customers and the slow processing speed of the desserts.
Later, Ziyue went to help out at the dessert shop. She was quite skilled and could easily make basic desserts or coffee.
The two elders had high-speed rail tickets for the last day of the National Day holiday, so I couldn't go out with them this time. However, Mr. Chu and Ms. Liu Zhixue said they were quite happy helping out at the store and said they would come to Kunming again during the Spring Festival to celebrate together. They said they could go out and have some fun then. So, Ziyue and Chu Yijing took the two elders to the high-speed rail station.
After a hectic seven-day National Day holiday, Ziyue and Chu Yijing decided to give their employees a three-day break so that everyone could get some rest.
Moreover, after get off work that evening, Ziyue treated all the employees of both stores to dinner together.
The two stores together have more than a dozen employees, including Ziyue and Chu Yijing.
Ziyue booked a large private room and let everyone order whatever they wanted. After eating, they went to a karaoke bar and sang until after midnight.
Chu Yijing had drunk some wine, and Ziyue drove him back.
The two of them collapsed onto the sofa as soon as they got back. In the past, on non-holidays, even if there were more people, Ziyue didn't need to help much.
Last year during the National Day holiday, Ziyue's shop was not yet a popular online store, and although business was good for a while after it opened, it was still limited.
However, during this National Day holiday, Ziyue truly realized just how busy the store would be with the influx of tourists.
Chu Yijing pulled Ziyue into his arms, their heads close together, and asked gently, "Are you tired?"
"Hmm, I'm fine. You must be very tired." Hearing Ziyue's soft and sweet voice, Chu Yijing couldn't help but lower his head and kiss Ziyue's forehead, replying softly, "I'm fine too. Go wash up and go to bed. You can sleep in tomorrow."
"it is good."
Ziyue did not refuse.
She possesses the magical spring water, which greatly benefits her health. She knows she has excellent physical condition, but others don't.
During this time, everyone has been extremely busy. Although she wasn't tired, when a man cares about her and shows concern for her, she didn't need to refuse his kindness; she could simply accept it.
Ziyue returned to her room, washed up, and went to bed early.
The next day, Ziyue didn't wake up until 1 p.m. When she came out of her room, Chu Yijing was sitting on the sofa in the small living room reading a book.
Ziyue went over, snuggled into his arms, and read a book with him. It was a silent but tender moment.
A moment later, the phone rang; the takeout had arrived.
During the few days the shop was closed, the two of them didn't plan to go out. They just wanted to stay at home, read books, draw pictures, watch movies, or research food, and laze around at home for a few days.
After the National Day holiday, the foot traffic returned to normal, and it was no longer a sea of people. Although the store was still doing well, everything was running smoothly, and the employees were able to keep up with the workload.
Besides Chu Yijing, there were three other pastry chefs at the dessert shop, so Chu Yijing and Ziyue decided to go out and have fun for a few days.
They packed two suitcases and set off without hesitation.
First, I took the high-speed train to Fragrant Hills to see the autumn leaves, which is the best time to view them.
The red maple leaves covering the mountains and fields are like the most intense flames, displaying their most beautiful beauty in full swing.
As people stroll through it, it feels as if they are in a magnificent painting, and even the sky is so beautiful that it seems to have its own filter, making people intoxicated.
After viewing the autumn leaves, the two of them went to Suzhou.
There's a saying: "Above is heaven, below are Suzhou and Hangzhou."
A traditional awning boat, listening to the rain while sleeping, boating on a small lake, passing ancient bridges in a water town—I experienced the feeling of sailing on the water and being immersed in a painting.
Suzhou gardens, with their distinctive Jiangnan water town style, naturally possess a unique charm.
Besides the beautiful scenery, Ziyue is most interested in the different local delicacies and snacks.
Whenever she arrives in a new place, Ziyue always finds the most authentic local restaurants under Xiaojiu'er's guidance and enjoys the local delicacies.
Squirrel-shaped mandarin fish, Suzhou braised duck, crab meat lion's head meatballs, Fengzhen noodles, fresh meat mooncakes, crab roe cake, sweet rice porridge...
They ate, drank, and played all day long, and Ziyue and Chu Yijing spent more than ten days playing outside before returning to Chuncheng.
