Chapter 340 A busy day
"Huaihua, dinner is ready, come and help serve the dishes." Li Xin's voice came from the kitchen with a warm smile.
Huaihua stood up and walked quickly to the kitchen. She took the dishes from her mother and carefully placed them on the dining table. Su Bai and Xiaodang also came in from outside and smiled with satisfaction when they saw the steaming hot meals.
"Today's dinner looks so sumptuous!" Su Bai exclaimed and couldn't help but take a breath.
Li Xin smiled and said, "You have worked hard today. I have specially prepared some dishes that you like. I hope you can enjoy them."
Su Ming sat at the dining table with a satisfied smile on his face: "It feels so good to have a meal with my family. This is the true meaning of life."
Huaihua, Su Bai and Xiaodang sat around the dining table, listening to their parents' chat, feeling the warmth and tranquility. After dinner started, everyone shared their daily lives and plans while enjoying the food.
"Dad, we plan to open a cafe next to the small supermarket to add some new business." Huaihua said with excitement in her eyes.
Su Ming nodded in agreement: "This is a good idea. Young people like places like this. It can attract more customers."
"We also plan to hold some cultural activities regularly to make the courtyard house and the small supermarket a place for cultural exchange," Su Bai continued.
Li Xin looked at the children with a smile and said, "Your ideas are all good. We will fully support you."
After dinner, Huaihua and Su Bai cleaned the table together, while Xiaodang helped Li Xin clean up the kitchen. Su Ming sat on a rocking chair in the yard, looking at the stars in the sky, his heart full of expectations for the future.
"Dad, what are you thinking about?" Huaihua walked over, sat gently beside her father and asked.
Su Ming smiled and said, "I think you will run the courtyard house and the small supermarket better in the future, which makes me feel very gratified."
Huaihua held her father's hand and said gently, "Dad, we will work hard. The Siheyuan is our roots and our home. We will definitely protect it well."
Su Ming nodded, a touch of emotion flashed in his eyes. He knew that the children had grown up and were capable of shouldering the responsibilities and missions of the family.
The next morning, the courtyard was quiet. Huaihua got up early, walked into the courtyard, and breathed in the fresh air. She saw her father practicing Tai Chi in the courtyard. His light posture and smooth movements showed a unique beauty.
"Good morning, Dad." Huaihua greeted with a smile.
Su Ming stopped what he was doing and responded with a smile: "Good morning, Huaihua. What are your plans for today?"
Huaihua thought for a moment and said, "Today I am going to meet with the designer to discuss the design of the cafe. We hope that this cafe can integrate the style of the courtyard house, which is both traditional and modern."
Su Ming nodded in agreement: "This is a good idea. The characteristics of the Siheyuan cannot be lost, and modern elements must be appropriately integrated."
Huaihua chatted with Su Ming for a while, then returned to her room, changed into formal clothes, and prepared to go out. When she reached the door, she happened to meet Su Bai and Xiao Dang, who were also preparing to go out to deal with the affairs of the small supermarket.
"What are your plans for today?" Huaihua asked curiously.
Su Bai smiled and said, "We are going to purchase some new products and discuss some cooperation matters with suppliers."
Xiao Dang added: "We also plan to hold a small wine tasting event in the store to attract more customers."
Huaihua nodded in agreement: "That sounds good. We should work hard to make the small supermarket and the courtyard an attractive place."
After the three of them parted, Huaihua came to the designer's studio. The designer was a young and creative woman who was very interested in Huaihua's plan.
"Huaihua, I have designed some sketches according to your requirements. Please see if there is anything that needs to be modified." The designer handed Huaihua a stack of drawings, with anticipation in his eyes.
Huaihua took the drawing and carefully checked every detail. She found that the designer's plan not only retained the traditional elements of the courtyard house, but also incorporated modern minimalist style, which was in line with her expectations.
"These designs are great, I like them very much." Huaihua exclaimed, with excitement shining in her eyes.
The designer smiled and said, "Then let's proceed according to this plan. If there is anything that needs to be modified, please feel free to tell me."
Huaihua nodded to express her gratitude. She knew that with this design plan, the construction of the cafe had a good start.
Back at the courtyard, Huaihua showed the design to her family, and everyone agreed and supported it. Su Ming and Li Xin were very pleased with the children's efforts. They knew that the future of the courtyard was full of hope and possibility.
A few months later, the cafe was successfully built and opened for business. On the opening day, the courtyard was crowded with people, and everyone came to celebrate this special moment. The design of the cafe is simple and artistic, attracting many young people to patronize.
"Welcome, we have the best coffee and desserts here." Huaihua stood at the door, warmly greeting every customer.
Su Bai is busy in the store, making sure everything runs smoothly, while Xiao Dang is in charge of marketing. She uses social media to promote the cafe's features and activities, attracting a large number of customers.
"This cafe is really special. It has both traditional flavor and modern atmosphere," a customer exclaimed.
Huaihua responded with a smile: "Thank you for your compliment. We hope that every customer can have a pleasant experience here."
As time went by, the business of the cafe and the small supermarket became better and better. Huaihua, Su Bai, Xiaodang and Su Nan worked together to create a courtyard full of vitality and creativity.
On a sunny afternoon, Huaihua sat on the terrace of a cafe, enjoying the rare tranquility. She looked at the ancient locust tree in the courtyard, her heart full of longing for the future.
"Huaihua, you've been busy all day, have a cup of coffee." Xiaodang came over with a cup of fragrant coffee and handed it to Huaihua.
Huaihua took the coffee and said with a smile: "Thank you, Xiaodang. This place is getting better and better. I believe our efforts will be rewarded."
Xiao Dang nodded in agreement: "Yes, we will continue to work hard to make the courtyard and the cafe a place that more people love."
Su Bai also came over and sat next to them, saying: "We must not only do a good job in business, but also pass on the culture and spirit of the Siheyuan so that more people can understand and like this place."
