Tomorrow is New Year's Day. Lin Feng planned to take the babies to the opening ceremony.
Liu Bo was a bit superstitious, insisting that each of the quadruplets brought good fortune. Just by having them in the store, they would beco living signboards, true sales magnets. So, to welco the new store's grand opening, Lin Feng took the quadruplets with him.
Early in the morning, the balloon arch was set up, and the celebratory flower baskets were delivered one after another. By nine o'clock, 'Quadruplets' Ho' officially opened its doors.
Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi stood at the entrance, handing out flyers. The quadruplets lined up to help, distributing flyers with incredible enthusiasm. The family's good looks alone were enough to attract attention, and on top of that, each of the babies was incredibly innocent and cute.
Most importantly, Second Treasure and Fourth Treasure had a real knack for business. They greeted every passerby with impeccable politeness.
"Auntie, we have lots and lots of beautiful clothes in here!"
"Wow, what a cute little brother! Auntie, would you like to buy him an outfit? It'll make him look even more handso!"
"Uncle, you're so handso! Do you want to buy so clothes? They're super nice!"
The above was Second Treasure's bombardnt of sweet talk.
As for Fourth Treasure, while his words weren't as sweet, he was diligent. He buzzed around like a little bee, handing out flyers with great vigor.
Eldest Treasure wasn't as lively and couldn't conjure up pretty words, so he could only distribute flyers earnestly.
As for Third Treasure, his approach was completely Zen. I've handed you the flyer. Take it or don't, whatever.
It wasn't just the passersby; even the staff from neighboring shops stood at their doors to watch the spectacle. The babies themselves were wearing clothes from their family's brand, acting as the perfect little models. Moreover, the quality of the clothing was truly impeccable. The designs were also popular, mainstream styles.
In just one morning, two-thirds of the store's inventory was sold. Keep in mind, this was only the morning, and the store was a massive three hundred square ters! Besides clothes, many other items sold well, too.
Liu Bo posted videos of the sales and photos of the babies on the e-comrce app's hopage. Online sales skyrocketed.
In the blink of an eye, it was noon. The babies ate their als from bento boxes, while the adults ordered takeout.
"Brother Feng, why don't you stay a bit later?" Liu Bo suggested. "There's going to be another wave of custors this afternoon!"
Since it was the New Year's Day holiday, the peak crowds were expected in the afternoon. By the ti the babies woke up from their nap in the RV, it was already 3:30 PM. The flow of people was gradually increasing. Fortunately, Liu Bo had already instructed Chen Xiaotong to restock the shelves, preparing for a buying spree.
The afternoon was even livelier, and the quadruplets beca local celebrities. With so many custors in the store, Lin Feng had the babies sit by the cash register and told them not to run around.
Fourth Treasure proudly asked for praise, "Daddy, was Fourth Treasure amazing?"
Lin Feng gave him a thumbs-up. "Not only was Fourth Treasure amazing, all of you were amazing, too!"
The babies laughed happily, seemingly filled with a sense of accomplishnt from helping the adults.
By five or six in the evening, the crowd had grown even larger. Being New Year's Day, the store in icheng was also set to open today. Thus, it was already eight o'clock at night when Lin Feng finally set off to return to icheng.
Before leaving, Lin Feng said, "I'll be in icheng for two days. You'll have to manage things here at the store. Call
if anything cos up."
Liu Bo replied apologetically, "Sorry, Brother Feng. We were so busy I didn't even realize how late it got."
"It's no problem. I'm responsible for this store, too."
"Alright, then drive safely and call
when you arrive."
"Will do."
It was already midnight when they reached Mingyue Villa in icheng. Zhang Yuxi and the babies were fast asleep. He went into the room and made the beds for the children and adults. Then, he gently woke Zhang Yuxi. The two of them carefully placed the babies onto their beds.
After getting everyone settled, Lin Feng called his parents and sent a ssage to Liu Bo. He also ssaged Lin Jiajun and Jiang Anmin. By the ti he had done all this and lay down in bed, it was already past one in the morning.
anwhile, back at the branch store, Jiang Anmin and Lin Jiajun sent him videos. Thanks to an excellent initial promotional campaign—handing out flyers and hanging banners around Yuhuali—business was booming. The campaign was further amplified by the LED screens inside Yuhuali, as the complex managent also helped with publicity.
So on New Year's Day, the branch's business was incredibly good. How good? It was so packed that people had to line up to get in.
The next day, Lin Dashan and his wife arrived right on ti, just as the babies were waking up.
"Oh, my little grandbabies! Did you miss Grandma and Grandpa?"
"My sweet darlings, we haven't seen you for a month or two, and you've already grown so much."
"Look at our lovely Third Treasure, still lying on the sofa. Are you not fully awake yet?"
The couple doted on the children while Lin Feng made breakfast in the kitchen. Zhang Yuxi was still sleeping.
"Dad, Mom, would you like to eat?"
"No, we ate before we ca."
For breakfast now, Lin Feng gave the babies fresh milk and homade egg bread. These had all been prepared in the RV and just needed to be heated up.
"Co, Grandma will take you to wash your little hands!"
Lin Feng set the breakfast out for the babies. For himself, so milk, bread, and a fried egg would do.
Zhou Cuilan led the babies out, her face adorned with a warm smile. "They're all like little adults now, even more sensible than Xiao Wen. These early education classes were money well spent."
The refrigerator was empty, so they had brought along plenty of fruits and vegetables, as well as chicken, duck, and fish.
"Mom, Dad, what would you like for lunch?"
Zhou Cuilan was busy playing with her grandsons and answered casually, "You can decide. I'm not picky."
Lin Dashan asked, "How many days are you staying this ti?"
Lin Feng started preparing for lunch. "Two days. We'll check on the store and Brother Rui's driving school, then head back."
Lin Dashan nodded without another word, joining his wife in playing with their little grandsons. The children were telling their grandparents all about their adventures in the countryside.
Fourth Treasure gestured excitedly with his hands, "We saw a pig! It was so big and fat... This big, this big..."
Zhou Cuilan's eyes widened, her acting skills kicking into high gear. "Really? A pig that big? Where did you see it?"
When Fourth Treasure got excited, he started speaking in breathless pants. "At... at my friend's house..."
Second Treasure ca over to add, "It was at Jiang Chenchen's grandma's house! We saw snails, too!"
Zhou Cuilan played along perfectly. "Snails? Oh, what do they look like?"
Fourth Treasure jumped in to answer but couldn't quite explain it. "It's... small, and... and not pretty..."
Second Treasure, ever the master of elaboration, said, "They're this small, with a little house on top, and they crawl so, so slowly..."
Eldest Treasure finally managed to chi in. "They ca out from the cracks between the rocks."
Zhou Cuilan put on an expression of naive astonishnt. "So that's what snails look like! Grandma has never seen one before. Next ti, will you take
to see the snails?"
The babies all nodded. "Next ti, I'll call Grandma to co see with us!"
Zhou Cuilan teased them, "But what if Grandma isn't with you?"
Third Treasure, who had been silent the whole ti, said, "We can take a video for Grandma."
Zhou Cuilan cupped Third Treasure's little cheeks. "That's a great idea! Grandma loves it!"
Zhang Yuxi ca downstairs, rubbing her eyes. "Morning, honey!" she said softly. Still groggy, she sat down at the dining table, not having noticed the extra people in the living room.
As Lin Feng handed her breakfast, Zhang Yuxi smiled. "Honey, you're the best! Finger heart, love you, mwah!"
Lin Feng raised an eyebrow. "Love you, mwah!"
Perhaps from spending so much ti with the children, Zhang Yuxi's personality at ho was becoming more and more childlike. Following Lin Feng's gaze, she saw Lin Dashan and his wife in the living room.
Zhang Yuxi snapped awake instantly. "Dad, Mom, you're here."
Lin Dashan nodded. "Mm."
Zhou Cuilan bead. "You're up."
Zhang Yuxi quickly explained, "I... I went to bed a bit late last night... so I woke up a little late today..."
Zhou Cuilan just smiled. "Hurry and eat your breakfast. It'll be lunchti soon."
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Zhang Yuxi hastily finished her food and went to wash her plate. When Lin Feng wasn't looking, she gave him a sharp pinch on the arm.
"Honey, why didn't you wake
when your parents arrived?" He let
sleep until eleven-thirty! What must they think of
now? Just imagine: their son is ho all day handling chores and watching the children, while their daughter-in-law sleeps until noon every day, doesn't lift a finger, and eats everything in sight. People have hearts. If it were them, wouldn't they feel their heart ache for their own son?
Lin Feng chuckled. "It's not the first ti they've seen you. Don't they know what kind of person you are?"
"That may be true, but I still want to make a good impression!"
Lin Feng coaxed her, "Alright, alright, don't be upset. My parents won't mind things like that..."
Zhang Yuxi's pouting lips could have held a lantern. Still visibly annoyed, she started helping Lin Feng in the kitchen.
"Honey?"
"What?"
"You go with Mom to Yuhuali this afternoon. I'm going to et with Brother Rui to see how his driving school is coming along."
Zhang Yuxi just said, "Oh."
"I'll co find you all at Yuhuali afterward."
Zhang Yuxi said, "Oh," again.
After lunch, Lin Feng brought out several bottles of fine wine for Lin Dashan.
Lin Dashan's eyes lit up. "This is all fine wine!"
Lin Feng smiled. "I'm going to entrust these to Mom for safekeeping. When you want a drink, you'll have to ask her." Th?? link to the orig??n of this information r??sts ??n n0velfire
The smile on Lin Dashan's face instantly froze.
Zhou Cuilan chuckled. "Serves you right! That's exactly how it should be! You have no idea how much he drinks these days. With nothing to do all day, he's either drinking and playing cards with your Second Uncle or going fishing. He's living a very comfortable life. At his age, he doesn't even consider his own health."
Lin Dashan muttered in his defense, "It's just that both our sons are grown up now, so I don't have any heavy burdens on my shoulders."
Zhou Cuilan shot back, "Oh? And I'm not a heavy burden?"
Lin Dashan quickly explained, "You're different."
"How am I different?"
"Fine, fine, fine, I won't argue with you. Whatever you say, goes."
"Are you implying I'm being unreasonable?"
"No! I an, you're the burden I'll happily carry for the rest of my life!"
"Humph!"
Suddenly hit with a public display of their parents' affection, Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi felt a wave of helplessness.
