Free Web NovelChapter 1687: Chapter 1688: Cozying Up
After spending half a day, Cheng Su finally managed to roughly organize the mess at home; the sky was already dark. She was so tired that she could hardly straighten her back. Cooking was out of the question, she almost didn’t have the strength to eat.
As expected, Qi Taiguo went to the cafeteria to get meals again, and they all simply filled their stomachs.
Although the house was roughly tidied up, many commonly used items still needed to be slowly rearranged. This wasn’t urgent, as they had plenty of time in the future.
With the New Year almost over, Cheng Su visited each business to make an appearance. Since Qi Fenglian wanted to pair up with Chu Changxing to manage their hardware store at home, she decided not to work at the fast food restaurant anymore and recommended Jin Zhi, who had been at the shop from the beginning.
Since she was an old employee and meticulous enough, Cheng Su agreed for her to take over Qi Fenglian’s position. She also recruited two more workers, so the fast food restaurant continued operating as usual.
As for the restaurant, last year they bought an affiliated storefront to open a same-brand pastry shop. Now with more pastry varieties and the restaurant’s reputation driving it, business was good. People were fond of buying Joy Soon Loy brand pastries or sticky rice cakes for gifts.
Everything went smoothly at Joy Soon Loy Jam, where Cheng Su officially promoted Xiao Pinshan to Deputy General Manager to manage the company, giving herself a bit of a break.
With the new house properly settled, Cheng Su brought pastries from her restaurant to each neighbor, as a greeting for moving in, hoping for good relations in the future. freewebnoveℓ.com
In return, the neighbors brought some items up to visit and took the opportunity to tour their home.
Cheng Su loves cleanliness and has seen twenty-first century modern home design, so her home decor and arrangement exuded fashion and novelty. Plus, she was adept at organizing, making the house appear large and tidy. Naturally, this piqued curiosity, wondering how their small house looked so spacious.
The credit, of course, went entirely to organization. Cheng Su introduced her furniture and each storage cabinet, highlighting how she stored everything neatly, thus saving space. She even shared where to buy and custom-make furniture with them, earning thanks from the sister-in-laws.
On the fourteenth day of the New Year, once Cheng Su caught her breath, she first went to the old dormitory to check for any left-behind items, and notified Chunhua and the rest to come over for a housewarming meal.
"Now you’re all set, living in a big house. This place, who knows if we’ll ever get it!" Sister-in-law Song wandered around their old house, eagerly helping to tidy up some small items.
She truly liked Cheng Su’s house. Although it couldn’t compare to their new home, it was renovated, and everything looked new. Most importantly, it was big enough. Currently, their family was cramped in one room, which was tight. Even when being affectionate as a couple, they dared not make too much noise!
"If not, why not pull a curtain in the living room as beds for the two brothers? With no space, that’s probably the only choice!" Cheng Su spoke cautiously.
Sister-in-law Song glanced at her, chuckling, "Say, can you drop a word to Deputy Battalion Commander Qi to look after us a bit? We’re genuinely short on space!"
Cheng Su raised an eyebrow, realizing why she was so eager to hang around and offer help. It turns out she wanted to build rapport and connection, hoping to secure a backdoor favor!
