The shop didnât suffer any losses, but it was still wet and dirty.
âItâs a pity,â Master Qin looked around the shop and muttered in a low voice.
âDad, itâs getting late. Itâs almost FiveOâ clock. Why donât you come to my house to rest today? Iâll help you tidy up the shop when itâs dawn.â Qin Changyuan looked at his watch and realized that it was getting late. He was afraid that his old fatherâs body would not be able to take it.
âNo, thereâs a customer whoâs coming to pick up her things at noon tomorrow. The things have been burned and we need to work overtime to make them again.â Master Qin shook his head and refused his sonâs suggestion.
âItâs just some flower rings. We have no choice but to burn them all. Why donât we give her a refund and let her buy them elsewhere?â Qin Changyuan frowned.
He didnât think it was a big deal. The most important thing was his fatherâs health. Although he didnât learn this ancestral craft from master Qin, but changed his career to the construction industry, he was still quite familiar with these things. After all, he had been influenced by it since he was a child.
âNonsense, since the customer agreed on when to come and pick it up, it means that she must have used it at that time. How could she turn it down at the last minute? Did I teach you to do this?â Master Qin scolded in a low voice.
Obviously, master Qin was very against his sonâs opinion. He had been running the shop for decades and would never delay the customers âfood for any objective factors. This was a reputation. Besides, the food he made was a very special sacrifice. How could it be delayed?
âBut your body?â It wasnât that Qin Changyuan didnât know the importance of credibility. However, to him, his fatherâs health was more important.
Although the old man appeared to be very healthy, he was still a man in his sixties or seventies. No matter how strong he was, he could not be compared to when he was young.
âWhat body? Iâm so strong, what problems can I have? itâs not a problem for me to beat you.â Master Qin waved his hand and directly interrupted his sonâs words. He really had a bit of a reproachful attitude.
âAlright, Iâll help you with that, right?â Qin Changyuan was helpless.
âYouâve lost your skills for so long. Just be a helper. â Mr. Qin looked at his son in disdain.
âNo problem, letâs start.â Qin Changyuan didnât dare to say anything. This was his biological father.
âShua shua shuaâ
Very soon, the father and son began to get busy. The first thing they did was to divide the work. Master Qin went to the house to make flower circles and so on. Qin Changyuan contacted people from outside to clean the shop so that it could open early the next morning.
Just like that, more than a day passed by quickly under the busy work of the Qin father and son.
On Wednesday morning, there was no sun in Chengdu. The sky was a little gray, as if it was going to rain.
Yuan Zhou got up early in the morning. He had already discussed with Yin ya that the meeting time would be after lunch and that it would take about 40 to 50 minutes to get there. It would be quite early if he went there.
âThere shouldnât be a problem this way. Itâs written in high spirits and touching tears!â Yuan Zhou muttered to himself while looking at the leave request note that he had just completed. He didnât know if he could move the customers by asking for leave for dinner, but he was quite satisfied with it.
While Yuan Zhou was busy preparing breakfast and lunch, Yin ya had also gotten up early.
âThis set doesnât seem to work. That set is too bright and this color isnât good either. Itâs not formal enough. Which one should I choose?â Looking at the seven or eight sets of clothes on the bed, Yin ya became a little hesitant.
She felt fine before, but now that it was the right day, she started to feel a little nervous. It had been 30 minutes since she got up, but Yin ya hadnât even chosen a set of clothes yet.
âItâs already 11 Oâ clock, and blockhead is already preparing lunch. I have to hurry up too. â Yin ya bit her lip and took a set of rice-colored clothes into the bathroom. Plain color was fine, because if it was white and black, it would be a bit strange for todayâs occasion.
âŠâŠ
âMaster Qin, are the things all here?â Yin ya looked at the big black bag in front of her. When she arrived at the restaurant, the surroundings had already been cleaned up. It could only be said that it was emptier than before, but no one could tell that it had been lit up yesterday.
âThatâs right. Itâs all inside. Thereâs definitely no problem. Cough, cough, cough. Can you check it?â Master Qin didnât look too good. He didnât seem to be in good spirits, but he was still in good spirits.
âThank you, master Qin. Are you alright?â Yin ya opened it and found nothing wrong with it. However, when she heard master Qin coughing, she still showed her concern.
âItâs fine. The weatherâs getting cold. My throat just feels uncomfortable.â Master Qin said indifferently.
âDrink more hot water. Donât catch a cold in this cold weather. The food is very good. Thank you. Iâll take my leave now.â When Yin ya found master Qin was indeed fine, she left hurriedly. After all, she had a place to go.
âAlright, goodbye.â Master Qin sent Yin ya out of the restaurant. He didnât close the door until she was out of sight. He planned to take a rest.
âIâm getting old. In the past, I was also someone who stayed up all night in bed to read wuxia novels with a flashlight.â Master Qin mumbled to himself. He didnât mention the fire at all. Qin Changyuan didnât say anything either. Why did he mention this?
Soon, it was twooâ clock in the afternoon. The gray sky finally couldnât stand it anymore and finally began to disperse, but a trace of rain began to fall.
âIâve already prepared the wood. â
When Yuan Zhou opened the door of the backyard, he found Yin ya standing by the door. She was dressed in beige clothes and her hair was tied up into a bun with a wooden hairpin carved by Yuan Zhou. She looked fresh and elegant. She was holding a bouquet of half pink and half beige carnations in her hands. There were even some raindrops on the flowers, making them look very fresh.
âThen letâs go.â Yuan Zhou was carrying a huge food box in one hand and took the big black bag from Yin yaâs hand with the other.
âYes.â
With the flowers in her arms, Yin ya followed Yuan Zhou closely. Looking at Yuan Zhouâs broad back, her previous nervousness had disappeared and was replaced by certainty.
It wasnât a long distance away. Yuan Zhou had already called for a taxi and was ready to drive. Therefore, the two of them arrived at the place very soon.
Yuan Zhou put down the things in his hands and squatted down to clean up the dead branches and the weeds in the cracks of the rocks. Yin ya also squatted down to help him naturally.
âShua shua shuaâ
Very soon, the two of them cleaned up the weeds and other things. Yuan Zhou opened the lunchbox and took out several dishes that he had specially prepared and placed them in front of the gravestone.
These were all the dishes that Yuan Zhouâs father liked to cook for his family members when they were together in the past. Although Yuan Zhou still felt that his dishes were not as delicious as his father âs, this was already the best he could do at the moment.
Yin ya also put the flowers down along the gravestone.
âDad, mom, Iâm here today to bring your future daughter-in-law to meet you. Are you satisfied? your son is amazing, isnât he? he found you such a beautiful daughter-in-law.â Yuan Zhou said in a low voice.
âHello, uncle and Auntie. My name is Yin ya. In the future, I will work hard together with Yuan Zhou. Please donât worry.â Yin ya squatted in front of the gravestone. She held Yuan Zhouâs hand with one hand and started to open the black bag she brought with the other.
âIâve prepared some small Gifts for Uncle and Auntie. I hope youâll like them.â Yin ya prepared exquisite kitchenware, some daily necessities, clothes, accommodation and transportation. Although there were many kinds, each of them was very small and exquisite.
âLittle ya, thank you.â When Yuan Zhou saw these things, he naturally understood Yin yaâs intention and thus held her hand tightly.
âThis is what I should do. I didnât put much effort into it.â Yin ya said while looking at Yuan Zhou fixedly.
The two of them squatted in front of the tombstone and began to talk about some trivial things in life. Although it was messy, it sounded very warm.
