The mother and daughter chatted for a while before Xue Ling went to take a nap.
Mother Xue was not sleepy and was sitting in the living room cutting paper.
In the evening, Cheng Tianyuan came back with a lot of ingredients in his hand.
"Mom, I'm back."
Mother Xue was playing with paper-cutting in the living room and asked him to come over and watch it together.
Cheng Tianyuan was surprised: "So many?! They are all very beautiful! Very delicate and beautiful!"
Xue Ling yawned and walked out and took a few glances.
"This is the true level of my mother! When I was in the photo studio in the morning, I was just trying out her skills. Look, this is the true level of a master!"
Mother Xue laughed happily.
Cheng Tianyuan put down the dishes, washed his hands and walked out.
"Daughter-in-law, you didn't sleep this afternoon, okay?"
Xue Ling smiled bitterly and shook his head, replying: "I can't sleep, I can't sleep in every position, it's very uncomfortable."
Mother Xue sighed and laughed: "I'm about to give birth and my belly is too big. This is normal. Half a month before I gave birth to you, I didn't have a good night's sleep. Just bear with it and stay up for a few more days."
Cheng Tianyuan felt very distressed and whispered: "How about you lie on the sofa for a while."
Xue Ling nodded and sat on the sofa, holding his big belly.
Cheng Tianyuan poured a glass of water for her and another glass for his mother-in-law.
"Mom, Ahu will come over tonight to get the paper-cuts and have a meal together. He said that Ahu's mother has made a few bottles of bayberry berries and has been bored for a few months. Now they are ready to eat. He wants to bring two bottles over for you to try.
.”
"Yo!" Mother Xue said with a smile, "He is serious about it."
Cheng Tianyuan went to the kitchen to be busy. After Xue's mother drank water, she saw her daughter sitting on the sofa and taking a nap. She was reluctant to disturb her and went to the kitchen to help her son-in-law.
"Ayuan, Ahu looks to be in his thirties, right?" Mother Xue asked, "Are you married? Will you bring your wife over with you later?"
"No, he's not married yet." Cheng Tianyuan explained: "He seems to be thirty-two years old this year."
Mother Xue whispered: "You are not young at this age! It's time to start a family."
Cheng Tianyuan praised him repeatedly: "He is a filial son, hard-working and generous, and a good man."
"Then it's probably because the marriage has not come yet!" Xue's mother smiled: "When his marriage comes, it will be a matter of course soon."
Cheng Tianyuan is quick at work and cooking. When Xue’s mother saw that he was proficient in stir-frying and frying, she couldn’t help praising him for his good cooking skills.
"At your age, I can only fiddle with some food. Fortunately, Lao Xue is not picky about food and will eat whatever he has."
Cheng Tianyuan said warmly: "Lingling is not picky about food either."
"But she loves good food." Xue's mother whispered: "She is the only daughter in our family, so she is inevitably a bit arrogant. Look at her, she doesn't even go into the kitchen. Thank you for your hard work."
Cheng Tianyuan smiled and shook his head, explaining: "They are all small things. Everyone does the same work at home. She is busy with other things, so it's not that she is lazy and doesn't work. Mom, don't worry, my mother and I have never blamed her for this.
"
Mother Xue smiled, "That's good! That's good."
She still understands what her daughter's nature is like. In the past, at home, she never touched Yang Chun Shui, and she couldn't do anything except make a boiled egg.
Fortunately, Liu Ying is very kind and A Yuan is considerate, otherwise I would have to be scolded.
As soon as the meal was ready, Ahu came.
"I have long legs, so I'm on time." Ahu laughed and shouted.
Cheng Tianyuan opened the door and welcomed him into the house.
Mother Xue couldn't help but ask: "Isn't there a doorbell installed at home?"
"No." Cheng Tianyuan explained: "Ling Ling also said it before, but I didn't find it in the hardware store and forgot about it afterwards."
Ahu quickly reminded: "You have to go to the electrical appliance store to buy this, it's available over there!"
"Hey!" Cheng Tianyuan said, "Then I'll buy it when I pass by tomorrow."
Xue Ling woke up and said hello to [Haitang Bookstore www.htsw.info] to wash her face.
Ahu held Xue's mother's paper-cut and praised it profusely, "Auntie, it's just a kind of art! Our folk art is beautiful! This is so beautiful!"
Mother Xue smiled: "It's just a little trick, it won't work on the stage. You can take it back and paste it on. If it's not enough, just tell me. Anyway, I shouldn't be busy these days."
"Enough, enough!" Ah Hu said: "So much, it must be enough. The photo studio is beautifully decorated. After the word 'photo studio' this afternoon, many people came to ask when to take pictures. There are many residents nearby. I see them all when I go in and out of get off work, and I’m curious!”
Xue Ling couldn't help but ask: "Don't Liu Xing and Wang Qing have a name? The word Photo Gallery is not enough. There must be a name so that customers will remember it in the future!"
"Yes! I think so too." Ahu explained with a smile: "But Liu Xing said that you are an investment boss, so I have to ask you. He can do it!"
Xue Ling didn't want to interfere too much, and said: "Let Mr. and Mrs. Liu Xing think about it. Don't use too complicated words, and don't be too literary. The store name is just like the name. It is easy to remember and recognize. It is the last word."
"Hey! I remember." Ahu took a big mouthful of rice, paused and said, "Sister-in-law, why don't you think of one! Liu Xing and Wang Qing didn't dare to make up their minds, and they probably wanted you to take it.
"
Xue Ling said casually: "They and I are both good friends and eventually became business partners. To me, friends are very important. If they like it, call it a 'good friend' photo studio."
"Yo! This is good!" Ahu's eyes lit up, "This is easy to remember and recognize! This is it!"
Xue Ling smiled and said: "You have to ask Liu Xing and the others. I guess they will make it very artistic. Then you can give me some advice and choose one that is easy to remember."
Cheng Tianyuan helped her pick up the food and whispered: "This store has a good name."
"I think it's good too." Xue's mother rarely hesitated to praise her daughter.
Xue Ling didn't pay attention and ate heartily.
"It doesn't matter. If it's not good, just change it again."
After Ah Hu had eaten his fill, he took the paper-cut and hurried away.
"Liu Xing and his wife are still busy there, so I'm going to help take a look. Recently, they stay in the photo studio after get off work, and sometimes they don't leave until after nine o'clock."
Cheng Tianyuan sent Ahu downstairs, watched him leave, and was about to go back - suddenly, there were several figures in front of him that attracted his attention.
I saw Lin Cong chatting happily with several men, all of them drunk until their faces were red and their necks were thick.
Looking at the fancy clothes of those men, Cheng Tianyuan frowned.
He turned around and entered the building and quickly entered the elevator, not even wanting to see her face to face.
…
The next morning, Liu Xing called Xue Ling.
"This store name is super good! Wang Qing and I have been thinking about it for a long time. It's either too vulgar or too literary. It sounds awkward! Master Xue, you are good at everything!"
"A prize, a prize, a prize!" Xue Ling said with a smile: "You are all doing the work. I shouldn't have got involved. I just made a small comment."
"What are you talking about! This store name is really good, even my dad said it was just right." Liu Xing said with a smile: "I have another good news to tell you! This morning the Provincial Capital Machinery Factory sent a telegram saying
It's been done in advance, and the acceptance was successful yesterday, so let's go and download it as soon as possible."
Xue Lingli said: "Okay! Then let Ahu do it! He can contact a suitable car to pick him up. I will ask him to come to me later to collect the balance and pay it all together."
"Hey!" Liu Xing said happily: "When the camera cleaner arrives, we can open the store at any time. The decoration of the store has been completed, and with Auntie's paper-cutting, everything is very beautiful!"
"Okay, you decide the date." Xue Ling said, "I have to be busy giving birth, so I leave all the power to you! Please!"
