Oh my god, I became the vicious stepmother of four villains

The decision to open the store has already been made, and Xia Yingying will have to trouble Jixiang to purchase some things. Jixiang is now able to take charge of the store on his own, so Xia Yingying feels relieved and leaves these important matters to Jixiang.

Xia Yingying asked Lu Ziren to be the one to check behind to make sure everything goes smoothly on the opening day. After letting go, Xia Yingying found that the store was still running normally, so she didn't worry about it and went back home to continue reading the storybook.

When Zhang Yingying just returned, she met Lu Ziren. Because he was handling official business, he only found out about Xia Yingying's plan to open a shop later.

On the opening day, Lu Ziren must support Xia Yingying.

But I didn't expect to run into Xia Yingying as soon as I went out.

"Where are you going?" Xia Yingying asked Lu Ziren with blinking eyes.

"I came to find you, why are you back? Isn't the store open today?" Lu Ziren asked curiously.

"Jixiang is now able to handle things on his own in the store. I don't need to worry about it anymore. Everything in the store is running smoothly. I can't help much there. After the new year, I plan to hand over those important cake recipes to Jixiang, and then I will just be the boss."

Xia Yingying described the situation in the store.

"Yeah, you're right." Lu Ziren originally didn't want Xia Yingying to be so tired. Now that Xia Yingying was willing to rest and enjoy life, Lu Ziren was happy in his heart.

"Go ahead and do your work. I'll go back to my room first."

When Yingying came out, Luo Haojie went to Jin Jing's house and played with Jingjing.

After Xia Yingying came back, the royal family sent someone to deliver some things needed for the opening today. They even sent the shop decoration drawings, which were exactly the same as the current one. It was still in progress a few days ago. Everything was arranged properly, and now it can only be opened. Wang originally wanted to wait until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month to open the shop, but when she heard that Xia Yingying had reopened the pastry shop today, she asked if she needed to wait a few days to open it.

Xia Yingying didn't want to be so bad.

He still needs to be more careful about the shop. Since he can't make cakes now, he should go and make other cakes. So Xia Yingying didn't look at the sketchbook in the afternoon. Lu Ziren was in his study, drawing with a pen and paper. He carefully analyzed some special cakes he could make.

Red velvet cake, black forest cake, apple pie…

Xia Yingying divided some of the special cakes into the newly opened store. He also asked about the common cakes in that store, so that the flow of people can be successfully divided and it won't be too crowded when people buy cakes.

"It's the Lantern Festival and we're going to open, but can you spare some time for me tomorrow? I want to take you to relax." Lu Ziren said to Xia Yingying in a gentle voice while lying on the bed.

Xia Yingying subconsciously wanted to refuse, but then she thought that she had never seen the Lantern Festival since she came to Daliang, and she just wanted to experience it. The festive atmosphere was definitely stronger than that of modern times.

Today I am preparing for the opening of a new store tomorrow. Although I have done very little, I have been standing by and coordinating the overall situation, which makes me exhausted physically and mentally. The doctor fell into a deep sleep just like before. Lu Ziren smiled and agreed to it. Then he hugged Xia Yingying and fell into a deep sleep.

But on the morning before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Xia Yingying was very busy.

Xia Yingying had already done some experiments in the kitchen before opening. The cakes made that day were really perfect products, at least not so bad.

Because the preparations had been done in the early stages, Xia Yingying only needed to make the pastries and didn't need his help with other things. Ping An and Xi Le, the people who were transferred here to make pastries, had also been trained and were now able to get the hang of it, so the pastry shop was still running in an orderly manner. Because it was newly opened today, but it was also a branch, even so, Third Aunt Xia Yingying still offered benefits, offering a 7% discount on cakes and a 7% discount on other pastries, so there were still a lot of people in the shop.

Even the people from Xia Yingying's previous pastry shop came here to buy discounted pastries. Xia Yingying didn't sell many pastries there, so she was transferred here, but fortunately there were enough people, so she wasn't very tired after a whole day.

Lu Haojie also knew that he would be busy opening a pastry shop next year. Instead, he went to Jingjing's house and came to Xia Yingying's pastry shop with Jingjing. However, because Xia Yingying had made sufficient preparations this time, and there were both veterans and novices in the shop, the staff in the shop was sufficient. However, the idea did not help much, so Xia Yingying asked Du Haojie to take Jingjing out to play.

"Jingjing, go out and play. We don't need your help here. Good man Xiaowei, you are also a mother. You don't need to be busy when you take them. I am just here. It is not our turn to worry about the others. Let's go and play."

But because Xia Yingying didn't go, Lu Ziren was playing nearby, so he stayed by Xia Yingying's side the whole time. Even though they could only help in a small way, they were busy taking care of Xia Yingying meticulously. The family was very cooperative.

Today is a good time to celebrate the Chinese New Year. It is the 15th day of the first lunar month, and the Lantern Festival is sure to be very happy.

Lu Ziren wanted to invite him. He had already agreed, but he couldn't go out for the second time. It was not easy for Song Ruyi to come to the capital. It was said that if a family could not watch the Lantern Festival once, it would definitely include their lifetime. So Xia Yingying also handed the notes in the store to Jixiang Ruyi, and took the family out.

"Wait for me." Xiangyang Road Lu Ziren said to Xia Yingying, Xia Yingying nodded and stood there waiting for him. Song Ruyi followed Xia Yingying and Secretary Song with the children. Lu Ziren walked directly to Song Ruyi and whispered something into her ear.

Song Ruyi's eyes were bright, a hint of a misty smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she nodded.

Watching the interaction between Lu Ziren and Song Ruyi, I couldn't help but feel curious. What did Lu Ziren say to Song Ruyi? Was it necessary to keep it so mysterious?

Lu Ziren was slowly walking towards Xia Yingying and the others.

"What did you tell my mother? Why are you being so secretive?"

"Nothing, I just want mom to take the kids out for a walk. I want to live with you in a world that belongs to the two of us." When Lu Ziren said this, his eyes were fixed on Xiang Yingying's. His fiery eyes seemed to melt Xia Yingying, and Xia Yingying blushed and couldn't help but shrink back. She didn't dare to look at Lu Ziren.

"Come on, I'll take you there. I heard from my colleagues that if the capital city wants to turn off the lanterns, you can guess riddles on the lanterns. It's just that my poems are not that good. If you want, I can try my best, but don't hold your hopes too high."

Lu Ziren spoke to Xia Yingying sincerely.

"Okay." Xia Yingying saw Lu Ziren talking to himself like a child and couldn't help but smile slightly, then nodded solemnly.
